Hello readers! I'm Cornhusk and this is my first story so feel free to critique in the reviews etc. But anyway i've been wanting to do this for a while but I decided i'd start with a good old Ben 10 crossover. The question was what would I cross it over with? There are so many possibilities but I feel like most of the solid options have been done well already. One I wanted to do was Fairy Tail but I feel like that one's a tad bit overdone. So, after a lot of thinking I settled on Steven Universe. There aren't too many out there and not many of them are good so here's where i'm at. But don't you guys worry. If you don't like Steven Universe all too much we won't be staying here for long… (Don't worry i'll elaborate more on that later.) But I feel like this has gone on long enough so let's get started shall we? Also just a quick tip. I'll be using italics for thoughts.
Void Gem Arc Ch.1:Null
It all started just a while after Ben got the Omnitrix. He had just unlocked the master control unknowingly and everything seemed well when Kevin and Vilgax attack leading Grandpa Max to attempt to trap them in the Null Void only for Ben and Gwen to get sucked in as well. After a long battle with Kevin and Vilgax and nearly losing the omnitrix things aren't looking too good for Ben and Gwen. "Going somewhere without your old pal Kevin?" Kevin says as he snatches Gwen away from Ben who's currently flying around as Stinkfly. "How would it make you feel if I did this?" Kevin says as he scratches Gwen's arm with one of his Wildmutt claws effectively making a thin gash. Ben then roars out in anger as he says,"Let her go or i'll…" "Or you'll what?" Vilgax asks as he comes up behind him effectively cornering him. "I'll finish that statement after this!" Ben pointedly states as he zooms towards Kevin and quickly flashes into XLR8 as he reaches Kevin giving him several quick kicks to the face before giving off another bright green flash as he transforms back into Stinkfly and grabs Gwen to fly off towards the portal. He eventually reaches a well lined up path of asteroids leading up to the portal that he can quickly cross as XLR8 giving him enough time to complete his plan. "Alright Gwen, Don't be mad at me but I have to do this… I love you." He says as he transforms into Four Arms throwing her through as the portal closes. He then turns around to Vilgax and Kevin. He notices a device Kevin seems to be carrying… "Oh you guys have made a grave mistake. As I was about to say i'll kill you" He says with a defiant glare in his eyes as he transforms into Upgrade and latches onto the device that would've detached the omnitrix as the scene fades to black.
4 years pass…
Alright! That's the last piece! Ben as Swampfire excitedly thinks as he starts walking back home from his little "mission". "Ooh that looks good" he says as he casually impales a small fish-like alien with a plant-tendril. He then grabs it and places it in a makeshift backpack on his back that seems to be made with Null Guardian hides. After a few more steps he finds himself at home. His home here is a shack made with various metals and pelts stitched together with plant tendrils and held up by reinforcing pillars made of taydenite from Diamondhead. Although despite how rough it looks on the outside on the inside it's entirely different. The walls are lined with all sorts of alien tech with a small bed in the corner and a large desk/lab on the back wall. Ben then transforms back to his human form and sets his pack down next to his bed. He opens it up and sets the fish alien on a spit made with plant tendrils just outside the hut. He transforms into Heatblast flicks a spark into the fire pit to start it up then transforms back and is about to get to work. But first he needs to greet a little friend he made while he's been stuck here. "Hey Sparky, how you holding up bud?" He inquires to what is revealed to be a Vulpimancer puppy that seems to have a red lightning bolt shaped marking on his right shoulder. [Flashback begins] We see Ben walking along the asteroid he's made his home in as Wildmutt seemingly looking for food when he hears a sound that made him get really angry for whatever reason. As Ben was curious he begins to run towards the sound. After walking around what he assumed to be a Null Guardian nest he sees two Null Guardians attacking a wounded Vulpimancer puppy. He then begins to growl as he jumps at the Null Guardians brutally tearing them apart before eventually calming down enough to transform back into himself to go try to calm the puppy down. He walks over to it slowly and kneels down inspecting the puppy's shoulder. The alien dog's shoulder has a massive gash torn through it which must have came from some other creature trying to take him or something. "Ooh that looks like that hurts… You okay buddy?" He quietly asks the pup, in response he gets a whimper as it sinks down into a ball. "Alright buddy don't be afraid i'm just gonna clean you up." He says as he transforms into Heatblast. "Okay this is gonna hurt a little but I promise it can't make anything worse." The raspy voiced alien assures him and applys a little heat to cauterize the wound. The puppy whimpers again before seemingly feeling a little better and moving closer to Ben. "Alright good! Now one last thing and then we'll try to find your family okay?" Ben says as he quickly transforms into Wildvine and carefully stitches up the wound. [Flashback ends] Sparky barks and brings Ben's attention back to him. "Oh, sorry buddy. I was just thinking about when we first met. It really was too bad we couldn't find your family… Well at least we have each other. I'm sure we've made things much easier for the both of us." Sparky then goes over to Ben's pack and begins to snoop around inside of it. "Ah ah ah, not this time Sparky. You've already destroyed enough of my stuff." He says as he grabs the part out of the bag and walks over to his desktop lab of sorts and picks up a cube-shaped device he then inserts the part which is a strip-shaped bit of alien tech into it and then sets it back down as it flashes blue signifying it's completion. Alright should be able to get out of here as soon as I can if all of my calculations and handiwork I did as Grey Matterwere correct. The boy then starts tinkering with the Omnitrix twisting the dial a couple of times until a holographic display comes up showing the amount of time he's been in the Null Void:4 years, 12 days, 2 hours, and 7 minutes, he then turns the dial again as the holographic display switches over to a schematic of the cube device he made he checks a few things before twisting the dial a few more times to turn the display off before heading out to grab his food. He picks up the "fish" and quickly eats half of it cleanly down to the bone before heading back inside and handing Sparky the other half which included the head. "Alright Sparky let's go home!" Ben says grabbing the cube device and another triangular device that looks like a remote. He clicks a button on the triangle device and it then emits a beam that sucks in all of his equipment in his hut storing it all for later, leaving just his bag and his bed. Alright that should do it now let's see if this works. He then throws the cube down onto the ground and it expands out into a circular portal with a console next to it for input. He walks over the console presses a few buttons before flicking the final switch turning the machine on. The portal flickers to life and it seems to be working until things quickly go south as Sparky comes back out with his fish skeleton and begins to dig right next to the Portal causing it to flicker. "Sparky no! Bad boy! No more fish for you!" He snaps before looking back at the portal which now seems to be malfunctioning as it seems to be swirling faster and faster. "Aww crap it's destabilizing! We gotta get out of here quick!" Ben then flashes into Diamondhead presumingly trying to weigh himself down because the portal has now begun to suck everything around it inwards. As Diamondhead begins to attempt to walk against the pull of the portal it begins to strengthen pulling him in closer. As he continues to try to resist he looks back to see Sparky get sucked into the portal. "Sparky no!" And with the completion of that statement Ben is stunned giving him only enough time to watch in horror as he's finally sucked in as well.
And that's it for this one guys! As you can see this is my first fic so go easy with the destruction of my soul and feel free to leave your best criticism in a review so I can see what I need to improve! Also reminder, this is just supposed to be a sort of demo to peak interest in the story i'm gonna tell here. I can't say that i'll be writing consistently but I'll try to get as much as I can done and out there for you guys. How'd you guys like Sparky? I know I haven't written that much of him yet but I'm sure you guys will get enough of him as the series goes on. Before I go though I'd like to leave my thanks to Jade and Q, Ultimate10 and The Incredible Muffin for inspiring me to make this! Additionally i'd like to thank Emiyn for (hopefully) allowing me to steal their idea of starting Ben in the Null Void. Anyway thanks for Reading and Reviewing, ciao see you guys next time!
P.S Did any of you pick up the reference I placed in the elapsed time of Ben being in the Null Void?
