Chapter 2: Hello Remnant

In a dark alley, a red light flashed, seemingly out of nowhere. When the light dimmed, Ben stood in its place, still in one piece and with his backpack from his road trip to boot. Ben looked around to get his baring and then attempted to contact Plumber Base, but found that he could not get a signal. "Okay, this is weird," Ben said to his self. He then looked up, and noticed that it was night and the moon was not the one he was familiar with. Rather than the giant, round, white rock he knew, Ben saw a moon that looked like his own but blown apart. "So I'm not on Earth and I can't contact any Plumber Base, so I must be in another dimension," Ben said, "Should I hope there is an alternate me in this world or not?"

Deciding to worry about that later, Ben made his way out of the alley and saw a group of five men in matching uniforms, save for one in a bowler hat, enter a shop with a sign that read 'From Dawn till Dust'. "Just the outfits they were wearing spell trouble," Ben though as he followed, "and I mean that in every sense of the phrase." He stopped at the front of the store and looked into the shop window, wanting to make sure that he wasn't just getting the wrong idea. His thoughts were conformed when he saw the shopkeeper being held at gun point while several of the thugs grabbed the crystals and colored sand in the store.

Seeing as it was indeed a robbery Ben went into the store, surprising the criminals in the middle of their heist. "You are planning to pay for all of this stuff, right?" Ben asked. The man in the bowler hat and obvious leader of the group found Ben's statement rather humorous, but not because it was a good quip. "You think you're some kind of hero?" the leader asked, probably wanting an excuse to hurt someone. Ben just smirked, knowing he could take these guys down easy once he transformed into an alien, so long as he did not get 'The Worst,' 'Walkatrout,' or some other alien he had yet to discover or lacked any special powers.

Their talk was interrupted when one of the grunts went up to his boss. "Hey boss, there is someone else in the back," the grunt said as he motioned to the back.

"Do your job and deal with it, if you don't mind," the leader said as he face palmed. The grunt nodded in understanding before leaving to do what he was told. The leader than turned to the rest of the grunts and said, "The rest of you, take care of this one," referring to Ben.

As the three other grunts approached him, Ben reached for the Omnitrix, not intimidated by them in the slightest. However, before he could even touch the faceplate, the most unexpected thing happened. The grunt that went to the back earlier suddenly flew from the back of the store and out the window. He was then followed by a red blur. The whole event grabbed the attention of everyone present, Ben and the thug leader included. The grunt stopped on the street, incapacitated, and the red blur that was undoubtedly responsible landed next to him.

Now standing still, Ben was able to recognize the blur as a person wearing a red cap and hood which covered his or her face, although the black skirt with red trimmings made it rather obvious it was a girl. In her left hand was a large red sniper rifle that promptly transformed into a scythe with a large crescent shaped blade. The person turned to the store and removed the hood, confirming Ben's suspicions that the person was a girl. Based on her face, Ben figured she was around the age of fifteen years old. She had short, black hair with a few red highlights and sliver eyes.

After taking a second to let the initial shock ease away, the leader of the thugs took the opportunity to get his grunts back on track. "Okay, get them," he said in a tone that made it less like and order and more like a reminder that they were in the middle of a job. Realizing that he said "them," Ben tried to activate the Omnitrix to defend himself, but was pulled away by the girl at an incredible, inhuman speed. She set him aside on the other side of the street before returning to the fight.

Using her scythe as a gymnastics bar, the girl spun around on the horizontal handle and kicked the first thug in the face. Using the momentum, she then dislodged the scythe, put it over her shoulders and landed next to the second thug with end of the scythe without blade right next to his head. She the fired a shot from the scythe's still functioning rifle addition and let the recoil propel the bottom of the scythe into the thug's skull. She then dodged the third thug who tried to attack her with a sword and brought the blunt end of the scythe on his head, knocking him out. The thug that she had thrown out the window earlier managed to get up again and fired a machine gun at her. She once again used the recoil of her weapon to propel herself and dodge the bullets. She then rocketed towards the thug and knocked him in the air with the bottom of the scythe. Once he was in the air, she used her momentum and scythe to swing herself around again to kick the thug one last time.

Ben could hardly believe what he was seeing, and he was the kid that turned into aliens and saved the universe on multiple occasions. This girl in front of him right now had just taken down four criminals with ease, and she was just a seemingly regular human. She was moving so fast that she could have given XLR8 a run for his money, pun completely intended. Ben wondered if the world he was had some sort of special circumstance that made people a lot stronger, like the Nanites in Rex's world. Hopefully, he found answers soon.

The last grunt landed at the feet of the man with the bowler hat, who looked down on him, both figuratively and literally, in disappointment. "You were worth every cent, you truly were," he said with rather obvious sarcasm. He then turned to the girl in red.

"Well, 'Red,' I think we call all say it's been an eventful evening. And as much as I'd love to stick around, I'm afraid this is where we part ways," he said as he aimed the bottom of his cane at her. The bottom of the cane flipped up, revealing it to be a reticle and a hollow barrel. The cane then launched what appeared to be a firecracker. She once again used the recoil of her weapon to dodge over the projectile, which exploded upon landing on the ground.

After landing on the group, she noticed the man in the bowler hat trying to get away via a fire escape of a nearby building. "You okay if I go after him?" she asked the shopkeeper who had just stepped outside. The man gave a small nod and she took off running after the criminal.

Finally snapping out of it, Ben picked himself up off the ground and joined in the chase. "No way am I sitting on the sidelines for this," Ben said to his self. Activating the Omnitrix, Ben scrolled through the various aliens available to him in the holographic, wheel shaped catalog. When he found the alien he was looking for, he pressed the sides of the watch to lock in his choice. The hologram disappeared and the faceplate pulled back, revealing the Omnitrix core imprinted with the galactic peace symbol (a green hourglass on a round, black base), rose up. "It's hero time!" Ben yelled as he slammed the core back down, engulfing himself in a green light.

Finally reaching the top of the building, the man in the bowler hat began to run for the other side when the girl in red landed on the roof behind him. "Hey!" she called out to get his attention. He stopped just at the edge of the roof, but didn't turn to face her. "Persistent," he muttered.

Suddenly, a tilt jet rose from behind the building and the man got on board while it was still flying. Once on board, he yelled, "End of the line, Red!" He then pulled out a red crystal and tossed it at her feet. Afterwards, he fired his cane at the crystal, intending to let it explode at her feet. The girl braced for the explosion, but never felt the impact. She looked up to find that someone had protected her.

The person in front of the girl was a middle aged women with light-blond hair tied up in a bun, bright green eyes, and rectangular glasses. She appeared to have been casing some sort of magic spell, creating a magic circle that protected them both. Once the blast faded, the magic circle did as well. She then fired several purple magic bullets at the aircraft, attempting to stop the vehicle and the criminals inside from getting away.

In the vehicle, the bowler hat man struggled to keep his footing from the impacts that the blasts caused. "You might want to take off now!" he yelled at the pilot. The vehicle began to ascend higher into the air. Neither the women nor the girl wanted the criminals to get away, but there was no way either of them could stop the vehicle without destroying it and causing major collateral damage. Neither of them had any idea of what to do.

Suddenly, what appeared to two arms made of red, yellow, and blue building blocks stretched, or rather built, in an arc over the two females' heads and grabbed the wings of the tilt jet. The hands then built themselves up even more, creating loops that latched on to the wings. Everyone present turned their attention to the source of the arms and found what appeared to be a gorilla-like creature made of the same blocks with green eyes and the galactic peace symbol on his chest. "Hey hotshot, that's far enough," Ben, now in the alien form he called Bloxx, quipped.

With a firm grip on the aircraft, Ben began to reel in the vehicle and its occupants. Seeing that he was helping them, the women and the girl began to fire on the aircraft to disable it. Realizing he himself was outmatched, the man in the bowler hat ran into the cockpit with the pilot. "We have trouble," he said to the pilot. Although the pilot was shrouded in shadows, it was clear that it was a woman with burning red eyes. The women got out of the pilot seat to take care of the problem while the man in the bowler hat took the control controls.

Now standing at the door of the aircraft, the mysterious women fired off two fire balls from her palms at Ben's arms, seemingly out of nowhere, setting the vehicle free. Ben retracted his broken apart arms with a panicked "Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow" before shaking off the pain and rebuilding his hands.

After flexing his fingers to make sure nothing was wrong, he quickly turned his hands into two cannon barrels and connected them to his back with two chains of bricks. He began firing several bricks at the tilt jet that exploded on contact in a final attempt to stop the jet from getting away. The women and the girl on the roof followed suit, but it was no use. Once the jet was high enough, its engines shifted to a forward position, propelling it away and out of sight and range of fire.

Seeing that he wouldn't be able to catch them even if he transformed into a flier, Ben transformed back into his human form. "Yeah, you better run!" he yelled, as if the criminals could still hear him. Now standing on the roof in his human form with the other two females who tried to stop the criminals, Ben noticed that the girl in red was looking at him with wide eyes filled with awe. "That was amazing!" she squealed. She ran up to Ben and began to hop in place in his face as she ran off a string of questions. "Who are you? Where are you from? How did you do that? Was that a special technique? Can you teach me? Was it a special weapon? Are there more of them? Where can I get one? Is there only one? Would you mind if I try it?" she rambled at a speed so fast that it took Ben a second to register what she said. Ben chuckled at her antics a bit. He had to admit; it was pretty cute and reminded him of when he was ten.

As soon as she finished rambling, she also took notice of the older women who cleared her throat to make her presence known. "Oh yeah, you're a huntress, right?" the girl asked with the same excitement. She then approached the older woman, still with a face of pure excitement and fascination. "Can I have your autograph?" she asked eagerly.

While Ben has had his fair share of autograph requests since his secret identity was revealed to the world, he has never arrested a fan and locked them in an interrogation room. At the moment, Ben and the girl in red were sitting at an interrogation desk as they were being lectured by the huntress, as the girl called her. "I hope you two realize that your actions tonight will not be taken lightly," she said seriously as she paced around the room.

"But they started it!" the girl said in a somewhat afraid tone.

"Come on, we stop a robbery and we get put on trial? How is that fair?" Ben asked in a bit of annoyance.

"You two put yourselves and others in danger with your actions," the huntress argued.

"One, that's what heroes do, put themselves in danger to help other. Two, there was no one else on the street, so how did we put anyone else in danger," Ben defended.

"What he said," the girl said meekly.

"What about the collateral damages from your fights. In addition, both of you charged in recklessly, disregarding superior numbers and power," the huntress added.

"I'm pretty sure four grunts don't count as 'superior power'. She took them down easily," Ben said, pointing a thumb at the girl next to him, who smiled at his complement, "And what about you? What about the collateral damages from your fight, Ms…"

"Goodwitch, Glynda Goodwitch," the huntress said, identifying herself, "and I only got involved to protect the two of you, whom were dealing with forces you shouldn't have."

"So, are you going to throw the book at us or not, Ms. Goodwitch," Ben said as he leaned back into his chair. Glynda sighed at Ben's stubbornness, causing the girl in red to tense up. "If it were up to me, you'd both be sent home with a pat on the back…" she said calmly, which in turn calmed the girl.

"And a slap on the wrist!" she added firmly, enphazising her point by hitting the table with her crop, surprising the girl.

"Not like I give myself both of those ten times a day," Ben muttered to himself sarcastically.

"But, there is someone here to see you. Wait here," Glynda said as she exited the room quietly.

Once she left the room, Ben leaned on the table and let out a heavy sign. This adventure was going just as well as the last time he was pulled into another dimension that didn't seem to originate from a fork in the time stream. He figured that if he was going to be stuck in this dimension for a while, he might as well become a bit friendlier with at least some of the local.

"She sure knows how to deal with people," Ben said sarcastically to the girl.

"She didn't have to be so aggressive," the girl said, "Thanks for helping me with that."

"Just doing my job," Ben said with a grin, "By the way, I'm Ben, Ben Tennyson."

"I'm Ruby, Ruby Rose," the girl now known as Ruby said, returning the smile, "Did you really mean what you said about my fighting skills earlier?"

"Why would I lie? I've never seen anyone take down bad guys so quickly and stylishly," Ben said genuinely.

"Thanks, you weren't bad yourself," Ruby said, "How did you do that stuff back there anyway?"

Before Ben could answer, a middle aged man with silver hair, brown eyes, and tinted glasses walked into the room with Glynda walking in behind him. "Something tells me I'm going to have to spill the beans in a second anyway," Ben whispered to her before returning to a normal sitting position.

The man came up to the two teens and looked closely at Ruby. "Ruby Rose," he said, causing her to tense up a bit, "You… have silver eyes." Ruby was left a bit dumbfound at the comment, not sure how to respond to it. The man then turned to Ben before saying, "And I believe you are Ben Tennyson?" A "Yes" was all Ben could muster given the situation.

Glynda pulled out a sizable, handheld device with a touchscreen and showed the two teens a recording of the incident earlier. How they got footage of it, Ben had no idea. It was about as strange as the time the Vengers tried to make him look bad with some poorly edited video of him speaking to them even though they had no recording equipment. Ben's thoughts were interrupted when the man continued the interrogation with a not-so-simple question for the two of them, "So, would the two of you please explain how you were capable of such feats?"

"You should get her story first," Ben said pointing to Ruby, knowing that his story would leave them too confused to pay attention to her story if he went first.

"S-signal Academy," Ruby said a bit hesitantly.

"They taught you how to use one of the most dangerous weapons ever designed?" the man

"Well, one teacher in particular," she clarified.

"I see," the man said as he put a plate of cookies down in front of them. Ben and Ruby both took a cookie hesitantly, with Ruby quickly stuffing the rest of the plate in her mouth after eating her first. Ben didn't realize the girl could eat fast too.

"It's just that I've only ever seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before," the man continued, "A dusty old crow…"

"Faff miy uncil crof," Ruby said with her mouth still full of cookies, much to Ben's entertainment and Glynda's disapproval. Ruby quickly swallowed and tried again.

"Sorry, that's my uncle Qrow. He's a teacher at Signal. I was complete garbage until he took me under his wing. Now I'm all like…" Ruby said as she proceeded to strike several poses and make sound effects to prove her point, forcing a quiet chuckle out of Ben.

"So I've noticed," the man said as he sat down in front of them, "And what is an adorable girl, such as yourself, doing at a school designed to train warriors?"

"Well, I want to be a huntress," Ruby said with caution. Ben was instantly reminded that Glynda was referred to by Ruby by the same title.

"You want to slay monsters," the man confirmed.

"Yeah, I only have two more years of training left a Signal, then I'm going to apply to Beacon. You see my sister is starting there this year, and she is trying to become a huntress, and I wanna become a huntress so I can help people. Our parents always taught us to help others, so I thought 'might as well make a career out of it'. I mean the police are alright, but hunters and huntresses are just so much more romantic and exciting and cool and… well ya' know?" she said the third highest amount of enthusiasm that Ben had seen all night, the top two also coming from Ruby. Glynda just rolled her eyes at the outburst, clearly not seeing the job in the same light that Ruby did.

"Do you know who I am?" the man asked Ruby.

"You're Professor Ozpin, you're the head master of Beacon," Ruby answered.

"Hello," Ozpin said as he properly introduced himself with a smile.

"Nice to meet you," Ruby said as politely as possible.

"You want to come to my school?" Ozpin said as he looked straight into her silver eyes.

"More than anything," she answered.

"Well… okay."

Ozpin then turned in his seat and faced Ben, leaning his elbows on the table. "So, what is your story, young man?" Ozpin said patiently.

"Well, things might get a little weird. My story is pretty wild," Ben said in a warning tone.

"Try me," Ozpin said confidently.

Sighing, Ben began to explain himself. "I'm not from around here," he said, "I'm from another dimension."

Ben paused for a moment to gauge everyone's reactions. Ruby looked like a little girl hearing a fairy tale for the first time, looking on for more details. Ozpin stayed completely looking stoic, but looked like he was just as eager to learn more as Ruby. Glynda however looked like she just heard the worst lie anyone had ever made up in the history of the Omniverse, not that Ben blamed her.

Ben then placed his left wrist on the table, displaying the Omnitrix for all to see. "My watch here is called the Omnitrix," Ben explained, "it was created by the leader of one of, if not the, most intelligent alien species in the galaxy, the Galvin, as a symbol of galactic peace, harmony and understanding. I found the prototype in a crash-landed pod when I was ten and learned it could turn me into different alien species from across the galaxy. Eventually, I convinced the creator, Azmuth, I was a worthy wielder by using it as a tool to become a superhero, something that never occurred to him, the smartest being if three (arguably five) galaxies, and he gave me this final version once he completed it."

"That is awesome!" Ruby cheered.

"That is completely ridiculous. You must be joking," Glynda said in outrage.

"Miss. Goodwitch, please, his story seems viable enough, given how other worldly his abilities appear to be," Ozpin said in Ben's defense.

Seeing that she still didn't buy his story, Ben selected an alien on the Omnitrix and held out his wrist with the primed device to the skeptical huntress. "If you still don't believe me, I'll transform right now. Just slap my wrist," Ben challenge, "you did say you would have sent us home with a pat on the back and a slap on the wrist if you had things your way." Hesitantly, Glynda gently slapped the Omnitrix, core, causing it to activate and engulf Ben in a green light.

When the light subsided, in Ben's seat was a small, gray, thin, bipedal frog with green eyes in a green and black jump suit. Ben had taken on the form of a Galvin, which he nicknamed Gray Matter. Ben jumped on the table and explained to everyone present all they needed to know about the species that he was allowed to tell them. He even demonstrated his intelligence by preforming the Hephaestan Neuro Grip on Ruby and pinching a few other nerves to instantly heal her.

After he finished his performance, Ben stood on the table and requested Glynda to tap the Omnitrix on his back to change him back. Once she did, Ben transformed back into his human form, but hit his head on the overhead light when he returned to normal size. "Probably shouldn't have been standing on the table when I did that," Ben said as he rubbed his head and got off the table.

"I believe you have shown us enough proof that you are telling the truth," Ozpin said, continuing the interrogation, "Care to tell us why you are here in this dimension?"

"Not my fault, some crime boss shot me with something he called a Quartz Cannon and I found myself here," Ben explained, "I'm sure the Plumbers are trying their best to get me home though."

"How exactly is a group of water pipe maintenance worker supposed to get you home?" Glynda said skeptically.

"Not those kinds of Plumbers. The Plumbers I'm taking about are a galactic police force that my grandpa Max, a couple of my cousins and I work for," Ben explained, getting a bit annoyed of that same mistake people make.

"In the meantime, I have a proposition for you," Ozpin said, "I would like you to come to Beacon. We can provide you with a place to stay, any living necessities you may need, information about our world, and you can continue your hero work in this world. All I require is that you attend our classes and follow campus guidelines."

"Well, I've got nothing better to do at the moment," Ben said as he leaned back into his chair, "When's the first day?"

"Tomorrow," Ozpin said with a bit of a smirk.

Ben suddenly shot out of his seat and looked at Ruby with a pleading look. "You think I can borrow some school supplies," he asked sheepishly.

"Sure," Ruby said before suddenly smirking ", if you get me my own Omnitrix, or at least let me borrow yours."

"Sorry, no can do," Ben said with little sympathy, "The Omnitrix is locked to my DNA so only I can use it, and the last guy who tried to make his own copy of the Omnitrix with the exact same schematics ended up stuck with my human form as the default form, plus he's now trapped in eleven year old version of me with messed up colors."

"Well it was worth a shot," Ruby said before she and Ben started laughing. Looking at the two new students, Ozpin knew it was going to be an interesting year.

On the Earth Plumber Base, Blukic and Driba, Earth's pair of Galvin scientists, were currently examining the Quartz Cannon that the Plumbers confiscated from Psyphon. While the two were members of one of the most intelligent species in the galaxy, they were rather dimwitted for Galvin standards. Regardless, the two were still rather capable scientist and came through when they had to. Unfortunately, they were having a bit of difficulty figuring out the weapon in front of them.

"Have you two found anything out yet?" Max said as he entered their lab with Rook.

"Not much," Blukic said with a bit of disappointment.

"The weapon uses the same technology that we use in teleporters, with an additional enhancement," Driba explained ", It appears to use the special properties in quartz crystals to send targets to other dimensions."

"Is it possible to track down pervious targets and retrieve them?" Rook asked.

"Definitely… Probably… Maybe," Blukic said as he adjusted his hat to hide his face.

"Well, that not very reassuring," Max said, worried about Ben.

"Perhaps I can be of some assurance," a voice said from outside the lab.

The Plumbers present turned around to see a middle aged man with a white coat and cybernetic arm standing in the doorway.

"Professor Paradox, it is a pleasure to meet you again," Rook said politely.

"This is perfect, you can help us with the Quartz Cannon, or better yet get Ben back for us," Max said with relief.

"I could," the time walker said cryptically.

Rooks noticed this and spoke his disappointment, "But you will not."

"Unfortunately, you are right. Ben's presence on the world he has been sent to may change it for the better," Paradox explained, "To remove him from it know would surely result in a less fortunate future for that world and its people."

"So why did you come now?" Max asked confused.

"To ease your worries of course," Paradox said, "As well as to tell you that if Ben needs any extra help from outside that dimension, I will bring them there, and that extra help may very well include you. So please, leave that Quartz Cannon alone before you hit someone."

Blukic and Driba, who were still fiddling with the weapon, quickly stepped away from the device. The two gave everyone a sheepish smile as Paradox left in a flash of light, his work done for the time being.
