Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 or any of their respective characters
I'm sorry that I haven't done a new chapter for Vilgax 10. I've been really busy lately so I couldn't do it. However, I did have this lying around, so I just made small changes and uploaded it. Although, since I am getting busier, dont expect new chapters for both stories every week. Expect maybe one chapter of either Vilgax 10 or Gwen 10 every week, because that's probably the best I can do.
(The Omnitrix is a watch that is capable of transforming its user into the healthiest and strongest of any alien species, if its DNA was recorded inside it. Benjamin Tennyson had found it when he was 10, and he became a superhero for the rest of his life, helped by his cousin Gwen and his grandfather, who used to be a space cop aka The Plumbers.
However, in Omniverse, it was revealed that there was a parallel universe where Gwen was the one who received the Omnitrix as a 10 year old, instead of Ben. The series didn't show "Gwen 10" growing up with the Omnitrix, so I decided to write a story in that universe where Gwen has grown up. The setting is similar to the beginning of "Ben 10: Alien Force", at least for the first couple of episodes. I would probably try not to remake certain episodes in Alien Force and try to make more 'original' episodes, if I decide to write more.
Anyway, the setting is 5 years after Gwen had received the Omnitrix.)
"Hey, over here!
J.T yelled over to Cash in their soccer outfits.
"Yea, right! I'm going to score," Cash responded.
Cash slides past two opposing players, and shoots towards the goal, but then, the brown haired goalkeeper catches it.
"Ughh! Not again!" Cash said.
"That was a good shot, by the way," the brown haired boy said. "I almost couldn't get it."
"I don't need your pity, Tennyson!" Cash replied. "Come on, J.T.."
"I told you to pass it to me."
"Shut up!"
The brown haired teen, known as Benjamin Tennyson, received a row of high fives from his team players, before he walked away. As he grabbed his bike, an Asian American girl went to greet him.
"Hi, you're Ben right?" she asked.
"Ohh, hey," Ben said. "Do I know you?"
"I'm on the tennis team," she said. "But sometimes I pass by. Congratulations."
"Ahh, thanks. I'm Ben, by the way."
"I know," she snickered. "I just called you that. My name's Julie."
They exchanged glances.
Some time later, Ben cycled up to his Grandfather's RV, aka the "Rust Bucket". It's not as bad as it sounds.
Ben knocks on the door, only to find out it was unlocked.
"Grandpa Max? Are you here?"
There was no answer. However, he say a dark figure in the RV.
"Grandpa, is that you?"
Suddenly, the figure jumped at him. It was revealed to be a grotesque figure with an exposed brain, purple face and a thick yellow body.
Ben instinctively formed a green energy barrier in front of him.
"What the?! What the heck are you? And what have you done with my grandfather?!"
The figure tried to break through the barrier, but to no avail.
"That's it, enough playtime," Ben said, as he constructed a giant arm made of energy and knocked the creature against the wall.
"Where is my grandfather?"
The creature spit some kind of goo that knocked Ben back. The arm faded, and the creature held Ben to the ground.
Ben's eyes started glowing green.
"ENOUGH!"
Ben released a beam so powerful, the creature was blasted through the roof. Ben ran out to find it, but it had escaped.
Ben went back into the RV, and found a holograph recorder.
(Author's note: In the series, Gwen is the one with these powers instead of Ben. The reason it is in the reverse is because, in my version, both Ben and Gwen had the potential to tap into their Anodite abilities, but Gwen never did because she already had enough power with the Omnitrix. This forced Ben develop his hidden powers.)
"Right kick."
"Hi-yaah!"
"Left kick"
"HI-yaah!"
"Good job, Gwendolyn," the karate instructor said. "You should be able to qualify in the next tournament."
"Thanks, but, I'm not interested," said the teenager with red-orange hair.
Ben waved at her from the bench.
"Sorry, I need to talk to my cousin for a bit."
Gwen walked over to Ben.
"What's up? You don't usually show up during practice."
"Let's go outside first."
They left the gym to get some privacy.
"Grandpa Max left us a message," Ben said.
He took out the holographic recorder.
"Ben, Gwen, if you're seeing this, it means that I've gone missing. And that there is big threat approaching. I need you to be ready for that. Both of you. I'm sorry. I love you both."
"Ready?" Gwen asked. "Does he mean?"
"Yes, Gwen," Ben said.
Ben showed her a watch that had an hourglass symbol surrounded by a circle, and was pink in the centre.
"Grandpaaa," Gwen called out. They were both at the Rust Bucket.
"Gwen, stop," Ben said.
"I'm not falling for it, Ben," Gwen said. "It's not funny anymore."
"Gwen," Ben said. "We both know I stopped playing pranks on you years ago. I hardly even call you…"
"Yea, yea," Gwen said. "Then explain why you decided to cook up this lie."
"It is not a lie and you know it," Ben said. "You're just trying to find a reason not to put it back on."
Gwen paused.
"Alright," Gwen said. "Say I believe you. Why do I have to put the Omnitrix back on? Why can;t we go the Plumbers for help?"
"If Grandpa wanted us to do that, he would have said so," Ben said. "And if Grandpa had disappeared, it means its probably too much for even the Plumbers to handle."
"Then you use it."
"I don't know how," Ben said. "Look, Gwen, I get it. You don't want that life anymore, that's why we worked so hard to yank it off your arm in the first place. But we need you. Please."
Ben held it out to her.
"For Grandpa."
Gwen hesitated, and finally reached out.
She looked at Ben, who nodded at her before she wrapped it around her wrist.
"Okay," Ben said. "I'll scan for any traces of Grandpa's aura in the Rust Bucket. After that we—look out!"
Ben put up a barrier which shielded them from a laser blast.
Several shots were fired, slowly breaking the shield. They saw a figure with a blaster moving towards them.
"Gwen, get his attention!"
"Got it."
Gwen ran out, and the figure started shooting at her. She did a series of flips to dodge them, and Ben fired a plasma arm to grab the figure.
The were surprised to see the figure was an alien in a Plumbers uniform.
"Ughh-let me go!"
"Woah, calm down." Ben said.
"I'll calm down as soon as you release my partner!"
"Partner?" Gwen said. "Do you mean Grandpa Max? No, we're looking for him too. It's me, Gwendolyn Tennyson, and this is my cousin."
"Gwen 10?" the alien said. "The wielder of the Omnitrix."
"Former," Gwen said. "But yes. Can you tell us what's going on?"
Ben let go of the alien, and the alien quickly composed himself.
"My name is Magister Labrid," the alien said. " Max and I were working on a case, but he suddenly went missing. I detected incredibly advanced technology tracing from here, and I thought I saw Max's plumber badge in your hand, so I thought you had kidnapped him. (Author's Note: The Plumbers symbol is the same as the Omnitrix symbol)"
"This isn't his badge," Ben said. "It's the Omnitrix."
"I see," Labrid said. "That's good. I need all the help I can get immediately."
"Why?" Gwen asked.
"Because I know where I might find him."
The clock struck midnight (Cliche, I know).
In the dark, there stood an abandoned factory, rusting away and dilapidated, the perfect place for a secret meeting.
Three cars arrived. One was a a green car with black stripes in the middle of the bumper. The other two were two large vans.
"Looks like you were right," Ben said. "There is something big going down tonight."
"The intel of the Plumbers is very reliable," Magister Labrid said. "Apparently, this is a meeting involving the Forever Knights and two other unknown parties."
They kept quiet as men arose from the cars. The first van opened, and men in medieval armour marched out. The second van had men in suits. The green car, only had one person, a well built teenager, his shirt matching his black hair.
"Isn't that…"
"Kevin Levin," Gwen finished. "We fought him a few times when we were kids. I'm surprised he's back to human, though."
"Shh," Majister Liden said.
"Pleasure to meet you, 'Sir Knights'. Men in suits," Kevin said. "I've done business with both of you before, however, good alien tech is getting harder to get ahold of nowadays. So instead, today will be an auction to the highest bidder. I have a set of Laser Lancers, one of which I'm holding right now."
Kevin held a lance-like gun in his hand. He aimed it towards a wall, and when he pressed the trigger, the gun shot a laser which triggered an explosion.
"Runs on electricity," Kevin said. "Or solar, if your super green."
"That's…that's a Level 5 weapon !" Majister Labrid said (Author's Note: Earth is considered Level 2). "Human's shouldn't be having that!"
Before anyone could stop him, Labrid charged forward and started shooting.
"What are you doing?!" Ben said.
"We have to stop this now!" Labrid said. "We can't let any of them have that weapon. I'm creating a distraction. Capture Kevin Levin, we need to interrogate him."
"Fine!" Gwen stated. "Ben, let's go."
"No, I better back Magister Labrid. You make sure Kevin doesn't get away."
"Alright."
As Gwen ran off, Ben's fists glowed with energy.
"Let's do this."
Liden and Ben charged down, Ben shooting green energy while Labrid shot the enemy down with his blaster.
Gwen ran towards Kevin, who was quickly packing up his 'inventory'.
"Alright, Omnitrix," Gwen said as she prepared the watch. "Let's go Four Arms!"
The Omnitrix didn't respond.
"Come on!"
"Gwen?" Kevin said. "Wow, I haven't seen you in years."
"Can't say it's so pleasant from my end," Gwen said as she tried to get the Omnitrix to work.
"You haven't changed," Kevin replied. "Anyway, why don't we skip the pleasantries and get a candle lit dinner, you and me?"
"Does that ever work?" Gwen said.
"More often that you think."
Kevin placed his hand on a metal cargo box, and he absorbed it to encase his body in metal.
The Omnitrix made a beep.
"Finally," Gwen said, as she pressed on it.
She transformed into an alien with a green, plant-like body, her face turnt black and there were red and yellow petals surrounding her face, somewhat resembling a flame. The Omnitrix symbol appeared in her chest.
"Wow," Gwen said. "Never saw this one before."
Kevin ran forward and threw a punch, but Gwen caught it.
"Super strength, nice!" Gwen stated as she punched back, sending Kevin flying a few feet.
"Ugghhh!" Kevin yelled.
Kevin got up and tried to ram her again, but then, Gwen's fist turned into flames and she threw fireballs at him, which caused him to fly back again.
"Give up?"
"Not yet," Kevin said.
He tore two metal pieces from the cargo box to use as shields. Gwen shot more fireballs and Kevin barely shielded himself.
Meanwhile, Ben and Labrid were plowing through the Forever Knights.
"It's been a while since I felt like this," Ben said.
"Stay focused!"
Ben noticed the men in suits finally getting up and charging at them.
"You want a piece too?"
Ben shot beams and knocked one of them down. Ben thought he was knocked out, but suddenly, a mask fell off, and the men were revealed to be the same grotesque creature that had attacked him earlier.
"You?"
Liden and Ben were surrounded by the yellow monsters, and they spit some kind of goo which paralysed both of them.
Gwen looked behind and saw them.
"BEN!"
Kevin lunged forward and started bashing Gwen with the metal pieces.
After a few strikes, he took a look, and saw Gwen in her alien form, with her head bashed in.
"Gwen!" Kevin yelled. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
But then, Gwen's head regenerated and she threw an uppercut into Kevin's waist.
"Regeneration?" Kevin groaned. "Of course. How many powers does that one alien have?"
Suddenly, seeds popped out of Gwen's arms.
"Apparently more," Gwen said.
Gwen threw the seeds towards Ben and Labrid, and giant vines grew out of the ground, tying up the monsters, as well as Ben and Labrid.
"Actually, yea, he has a point," Gwen said. "Why does this one alien have so many powers?"
"Ahh, thanks for saving us," Ben said. "But did you have to wrap us up too?"
"Sorry, I had no choice," Gwen said.
Gwen motioned her hands, and the vines holding Ben and Liden shrivelled back into the ground.
"Strange," Gwen said. "I should have timed out by now. I guess I can stay in alien form longer now."
Gwen pressed the Omnitrix symbol in her chest, and she turned back to human.
"The watch looks different, too. Maybe it's an upgrade."
"I've never seen that alien before," Ben said. "What do you wanna call it?"
"Umm…HeatVine?" Gwen said.
"Did you just combine the names of Heatblast and Wildvine?"
"Well, this alien can shoot fire…like Heatblast, and it shoots vines…never mind, let's think of a name later."
"Now back to the mission," Labrid said. "It seems they have stolen the weapons, which makes this a much bigger problem. Let's get Kevin Levin cuffed."
A few hours later, Kevin woke up. He tried to move, but there were cuffs behind his back.
"Cuffs made specially for aliens with absorption abilities," Labrid said. "You can't use your powers now."
"Greeaaat," Kevin said. "What are you looking at, Gwen?"
"I'm just wondering how you got back to human," Gwen said.
"A lot of things happened," Kevin said. "So what now? Back to the Null Void? (Author's Note: The Null Void is a dimension to imprison the most powerful criminals)"
"Kevin, stop," Ben said. "We're not taking you to Null Void anymore, but we can take you to prison, unless you help us."
"Not interested," Kevin said.
"Humans with that kind of technology could wreak havoc!' Liden said.
"And why should I care?"
"Look at me Kevin," Gwen said. "I get it, you're mad at us. But please, we think they may have kidnapped Grandpa Max."
Kevin went silent.
"Alright," Kevin said. "But only for compensation."
"We can let you go if you help us," Ben said.
"I was actually talking about stealing the cash they owe me," Kevin said. "But that works too."
(Author's Note: Kevin is a half alien whose species is known as Osmosian. Osmosians have the ability of absorption, however, if they absorb living energy, they go insane, which is why Kevin is now absorbing matter like metal or concrete. In the first series, when they were 10 years old, Kevin had absorbed energy from the Omnitrix and because of that, was able to transform into different aliens as well, however, this eventually turned him into a grotesque looking hybrid between the aliens in the Omnitrix, which is why Gwen is surprised to see him as human.)
