The rewritten version of my story Ben 10: Apex Predator. I promised that I would try to rewrite this story, and I kept that promise! Although, Ben's not gonna be the type of Ben you all think he might be. But instead of just telling you about it, I'll just let you all read and find out for yourselves.

Current Timeline: Omniverse

The Return!


On the Space Prison known only as Incarcecon, the most dangerous of all crooks are kept under lock and key. No one, not even a prisoner's parents, can get in or out without proper clearance. And as such, very few of the prisoners ever get visitors.

But a Galvan ship is seen pulling up to the prison. The ones on board had all of the proper clearance to get in for what they were planning. It was none other than Azmuth and his assistant Myaxx!

Azmuth is a member of an alien race known as the Galvan. He resembled a humanoid frog that was roughly six inches tall. He had gray skin that was wrinkled with a few liver spots, slightly squinty bulbous green eyes with horizontal rectangular pupils, and a few appendages on his face that resembled a mustache. Azmuth also has four fingers on each hand, and three toes on each foot. He wears a black and green outfit that looked like a mix of an Aztec battle dress and a Greek toga, and silver armor on his arms and legs.

Myaxx is a member of an alien race known as the Chimera Sui Generis. She has green skin and red eyes, strange light green glass bulbs on her head, and the trademark cephalopod-like tentacles of her species acting as hair on her head. She was fairly tall standing at a height of about 5'11, and had a very slim yet feminine build. She wears red armor on her arms, legs, and shoulders, along with a red leotard.

"So, you've paid the bail for one of my prisoners? Can't imagine why anyone would do that." said a Pyronite guard.

He was leading the two of them to a cell that was in solitary confinement. This was where they kept their most dangerous criminals, but it's also where they kept the most vulnerable inmate. It wasn't because he broke a prison rule. It was to protect him from the other alien species that would try to literally eat him.

"Yes well, we have evidence that suggests that this particular inmate was framed for the crimes committed. And as such, we paid his bail and are taking him home." Azmuth explained.

"Yeah. The poor kid's been in this joint for well over a year now. His parents must be worried sick!" Myaxx added.

The Pyronite nodded in agreement. He had received calls from this particular prisoner's parents, and knew that the only reason they couldn't visit him was because they didn't have a ship. Family meant a lot to this guard, so he could only imagine what the kid was going through.

Finally, they made it to cell number 102-4-F. This was the most secure cell they had in Solitary confinement, and home to the one prisoner that shouldn't have been on this metal madhouse in the first place! The guard took out his keys (which were fireproof) and unlocked the cell door. He opened the six inch steel door to reveal the inmate sitting in the middle of the floor with his back turned to them.

"Hey Tennyson, get up! You're sprung!" said the Pyronite.

Yes indeed, it was none other than Ben Tennyson. World renowned hero now hailed as Earth's most wanted. Now I know what you're thinking. "Why would Ben 10, galaxy wide hero, turn into a crook"? Well that's the thing. He didn't.

You see, exactly one year ago today, an entire town was destroyed at the hands of 'Ben' when he turned into the Vaxasaurian transformation that he calls Humungousaur. However, that wasn't really Ben. It was a Galvan known as Albedo who had framed Ben for this crime in order to get him incarcerated. Unfortunately, it worked. The Plumbers turned on him, took the Omnitrix from him, and sent him off to Incarcecon. He's been here ever since.

Ben's hair was still brown, but it was now much longer and shaggier than it had once been. It had gotten so long, Ben's hair now reached the floor when sitting down. And his once vibrant green eyes were now bloodshot and looked slightly sunken due to dehydration. You know how most people end up bulking up when in prison? Well the exact opposite happened to Ben. He was practically skin and bone due to just about all the food in this prison being inedible to humans! It's a wonder he hasn't starved to death by now. He was only wearing a prison jumpsuit, and seemed almost lethargic.

Ben looked at the guard while squinting his eyes while they adjusted. He let out a small gasp of shock when he saw exactly who it was that bailed him out.

"Azmuth...? Myaxx...?" Ben asked.

He slowly got up and tried to walk over to them, but his legs were out of shape from lack of movement. Myaxx walked over, and put his arm around her shoulder so he could walk without falling.

"Don't worry, Ben. I've got you." Myaxx said.

"We paid your bail, Ben. You are now free at long last!" Azmuth said.

Ben couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was finally free! But that's when he remembered something. Something very important for his survival on planet Earth.

"The Plumbers... As long as they're patrolling Bellwood and Undertown, I'll never be truly free! And without the Omnitrix I have no way to defend myself." Ben said.

As they all got into Azmuth's ship, the two scientists realized that Ben was right about this. Without a means of defending himself, Ben would be easy prey for those Plumbers that would no doubt try to throw him back in the slammer!

Not to mention that obnoxious news reporter Will Harangue. That guy was nothing but trouble since day one of Ben's hero career! And with Ben having been framed for mass genocide, he'd just have more to blackmail the teen with! Not even his parents would be safe!

Suddenly, a cartoon lightbulb appeared over Myaxx's head! Her idea might seem crazy, but it just might work!

"What about that Omnitrix copy that Dr. Psychobos created? The one that let's the wearer turn into predatory creatures?" Myaxx asked.

"You mean the Nemetrix? That cheap knockoff is locked up in Plumbers base. What are you thinking?" Azmuth asked.

"I'm thinking that the Nemetrix is a sound defense Mechanism for Ben. If we can maybe combine it with his old Ultimatrix, Ben might just stand a chance against those Plumbers!" Myaxx explained.

Neither Azmuth, nor Ben liked this idea. However, they understood that at this point, Myaxx's plan was their only real option at this point in time. But this still left one critical problem.

"How are we even supposed to get the Nemetrix?!" Ben asked.

"That, my boy, is where you come in!" Myaxx replied.


***Plumbers Base: 23:10 Hours***


At a seemingly normal Plumbing facility, all was quiet. All employees had gone home for the night after a long day of work, so the place was totally empty. But for a hooded cloaked figure, this was the perfect time to strike.

Below ground, we find that the place is a high tech building with only two people currently in it. Or should I say two aliens? It was a couple of Galvans by the name of Blukic and Driba.

Blukic was a tall Galvan with a long neck and darker gray skin. He wears a pair of blue overalls with a Plumbers style belt, and a baseball cap that was the same color as his overalls.

Driba was a more portly Galvan with no visible neck. He wore the standard Plumber armor that many in their ranks wore.

The two of them were currently working on some sort of strange device. However, Driba seemed to be having trouble getting out of the darned thing.

"BLUKIC!" Driba yelled.

The taller Galvan looked over to see that his old friend had gotten himself stuck again. He put down the wrench he was using, and rushed over to help Driba. Blukic grabbed Driba's belt, and started pulling as hard as he could. Unfortunately, this caused the two of them to fly back a bit when Driba got unstuck.

"Ohhh, sorry Driba. I musta pulled too hard." Blukic said in a country accent.

"Sorry my ant posterior! You pulled too hard on purpose!" Driba accused.

"Did not!" Blukic argued.

"Did so!" Driba argued.

"Did not!" Blukic argued.

"Did SO, and I will not hear another word!" Driba said.

Blukic grumbled at the abrupt end to this particular argument. The two Galvans sat there in silence for a few seconds before going over their machine.

"So, what's the verdict?" Driba asked.

"We should have no trouble with dematerializing." Blukic answered.

Neither of them were aware of the cloaked figure that just waltzed right past them. But where was this mysterious figure heading off to?

"Great! What about REmaterializing?" Driba asked.

"Oh, picky, picky." Blukic said.

As we follow the cloaked figure through the base, we find that he has just entered the evidence vault. This is the part of the base where dangerous technology is stored after being confiscated from criminals. But he knew the Omnitrix wouldn't be here. Besides, he knew exactly what he was after. But in the background, we can still hear Blukic and Driba working on their machine.

"I don't know, Blukic. These quantum particle defibrillators still seem screwy to me." Driba said.

"Par for the course." Blukic replied.

"A golf analogy? From YOU, Blukic?" Driba asked.

"Max says it." Blukic said while tightening a screw. "Hit it on the green fer a-"

"TOUCHDOWN!" Driba declared.

Blukic rolled his eyes at Driba. The dude mixed up his sports far too much, and it made using analogies very difficult.

"No, a hole in one!" Blukic corrected.

The cloaked figure opened up a drawer to reveal the item he was looking for. It was the Nemetrix.

The Nemetrix is shaped like a hexagon. It is colored red and silver. The symbol looks like an open mouth with sharp teeth. The very device that turns the wearer into predatory creatures. However, the Biofeedback would destroy an intelligent mind. The cloaked figure took the Nemetrix out of its containment unit, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Meanwhile, the two Galvan dewfuses were still busy arguing.

"A touchdown!" Driba argued.

"A hole in one!" Blukic rebuttaled

"Grrr! Quit harshing my quantum mechanics! We still need to map the schematic to the exact biological projection stream." Driba said.

While the cloaked figure is walking down a hallway on his way out, he stops in front of a security camera. He removes the hood of his tattered cloak to reveal that it was Ben!

"Sigh, sorry to have missed you Plumber scum." Ben said to the camera. "Till we meet again."


There we go! Like I promised, I've rewritten the story. I just hope I don't lose my drive for this story like I did before. And if you want to see a different version of this story, check out Earth Beast's profile. He's/She's accepted the challenge! Oh, and if Omnipotent 18 is reading this, please note that I will update Quest of the Kaminatrix after I update some of my other stories. Please understand that I have a lot of other stories that need attention as well.
