Chapter One: Probation

Disclaimer: I don't own Ken10, I'm just borrowing him.

The afternoon sun shone down brightly, spreading its rays over the training area. A portion of its rays shone down on Bellwood's newest hero, Kenneth Tennyson. The copper-skinned brunette stood boldly in the middle of the field, his acid green eyes staring before him. On a nearby rooftop, his cousin, Devlin Levin watched him, ready to jump into action when the time was right.

Ultimate Echo-Echo hovered high above them, sending a sonic blast toward the brothers every now and then. As Kenny slid under a sonic wave advancing toward him, his thoughts jumped to the circumstances that resulted in this fight.

"You're sure you can take care of this on your own?"

Concern was boldly written on Ben 10K's face, here was the same boy who got his own Omnitrix a year ago; asking to take over Bellwood's protection.

"I'm sure Dad! I can handle this."

Ben 10K's gaze softened, then instantly transformed into a confident smirk.

"Okay then, how about a little challenge, if you win I give you your own city to take care of. Do we have a deal?"

Ken 10 raised his hand towards the upturned dial of the Omnitrix, ready to use it at Ultimate Echo-Echo's next attack. On cue, his opponent threw a set of phone-discs at him. Slam! Kenny slapped the dial with his right palm.

Devlin scowled from when he stood. He should have been down there, kicking butt! Standing around waiting for Kenny to get in trouble wasn't fun.

…

Kenny felt the power of the Omnitrix coursing through him, morphing him into a familiar form. "Ditto"

Eyeing Ultimate Echo-Echo Ditto split into 5 clones, each running off in a different direction; circling Ben 10K.

That was the signal! Devlin backed off a few feet, before taking off with a running start and skydiving off the top of the building. Ever since he got the Omnitrix's DNA absorbed out of him, Devlin had gotten a lot better at using his osmocian powers. Ben 10K had offered to teach him Kevin's old fighting style and Devlin mastered it easily. Sliding his hand on the side of the skyscraper, he absorbed some metal and coated it around his entire body. In his metal armor he jumped towards Ultimate Echo-Echo straightening his body and jamming the Ultimate alien. The Ditto clones rushed the fallen Echo-Echo, forming a small dog-pile. Ultimate Echo-Echo easily blasted the Dittos away, hovered to the other end of the training area and slapped the plumber's badge sign on his chest. He devolved to the normal form of Echo-Echo, before transforming into…

"Four arms" Swinging his muscled arms around, the red skinned alien effortlessly blocked all attacks from both Ken and Devlin. After about five minutes of wasted attacks, Kenny's Omnitrix timed out. Four arms stood straight and then slapped the plumber's badge, reverting to his human form.

"Kenny…Devlin" Ben 10k said in all seriousness. "I'm impressed" he said with a grin. "Follow me; I need to show you something"

Ken and Devlin were led through a large corridor, with chrome plated walls. "Cool" Devlin remarked "I wonder how much butt I would kick if I absorbed these." They soon reached a large door with the plumber's sign painted on. Ben 10k held his Ultimatrix up to the center of the door before keying in a lengthy password on the holographic num-pad that showed up. The door slid open revealing a large room with a table in the middle. "Kenny, since you showed that you can stand up for yourself by facing me for two hours" He said, "I have agreed to allow you protect a city. Since Bellwood is my turf you automatically can't have it, though I have found somewhere for you." Ben 10k pressed a green button on the table, creating a holographic satellite view of the globe. "Area code 626" The hologram complied and zoomed in to a city a few miles West of Bellwood. "This," Ben 10k said "is Hexagon city". Kenny and Devlin stared in awe at it, and silently thanked the heavens for lenient parental authority. The place looked awesome, even from the satellite. "It was recently built" continued Ben 10k "and although it doesn't have any special purpose like mining, fishing or farming it's a good city. The population is made up of mostly humans who might not like the idea of two 11 year olds protecting them at first but I'm sure you'll get used to it over time. Occasionally a few criminals decide to terrorize the place so don't think there isn't any traffic. Don't think they're weaklings either, these deviants are tough. Sometimes they'll have you on your toes so you have to stay focused. Remember, this city is entirely yours I'm not going to be there to help you all the time. You'll be alone most of the time. We fly there tomorrow so pack everything you want to pack."

Saying this, he turned and left. "Dude," Devlin said, turning to Kenny "Your dad's serious. He's literarily giving us this city."

"I know, isn't it awesome!" Kenny replied.

"Ken don't you get it? This is real responsibility! We have to do our best to protect these people, Real people! This isn't a game anymore."

"Devlin, lighten up. We'll do this bro. Our biggest problem right now, is packing."

So, how was it? Personally I think it was pretty good for my first try. Anyway this is the first chapter in an upcoming saga because I intend to make this story as long as possible. I'll try to update as soon as I can but I'll check my reviews first before publishing. I hate it when authors don't update and I will try my best not to be like them. During this time please bear with me, I'll try not to let you guys down.
