Hey, you guys! So, I didn't know what to think of this story, I didn't know if people would like it or not. SO… I'm kind of freaking out right now. I had no idea that people would actually be interested in reading this! XD Therefore, I'm taking, this time, to say 'thank you'. I really appreciate you guys for responding to my story and actually taking the time to read it. :)

Responses to the 'reviews'. I am basing this story off of 'Ultimate Alien', therefore 'Rook' will not be making an appearance. I dearly apologize for that. A big thank you to 'QueenofHearts7378' and 'CalmTheHydreigon', I'm really glad that you think my story is good for my first fanfiction. That really means a lot to me...

To all reviews (and any followers!) I will be (*cough*TRY*cough*) continuing this story. But, I do have to state a couple of things; 1.) It has been 2 YEARS since I actually watched 'Ben 10: Ultimate Alien', so I need your help! I need to make sure that the personalities are correct, as well as, (physical?) characteristics, reactions to certain situations, and etc. Just... please keep me in check, okay? 2.) I am accepting any 'suggestions' and/or 'ideas' that you may have in mind for this story.

I DO NOT own 'Danny Phantom' or 'Ben 10'. All rights reserved to Butch Hartman and 'Man of Action Productions'.

ENJOY! J


Ch. 2

Bellwood (Another dimension)

BOOM! SCREECH! CRASH!

A metal support beam then falls to the ground, causing dust to be thrown into the air. A red laser beam appears from behind the dust and flies through the air, until it hits the wall leaving a scorch mark.

"Persistent aren't they?"

A boy in has late teens walked out of the shadows, making his way towards the 'source' of the laser beam. He had shoulder-length black hair, dark brown eyes, and was wearing a tight black T-shirt over a gray long sleeve shirt, blue pants, and black combat shoes.

Out of the dust, a person in knight-like armor came running towards the boy, gun ready.

The boy simply smirked and crouched to the ground. As soon as he touched the ground, his hand seemed to 'absorb' the concrete flooring of the old warehouse. Concrete like skin then began to 'travel' across his entire body, being completely consumed by the concrete.

The armored man was about to pull the trigger until the boy shot towards him and knocked the man unconscious with one punch.

"Kevin! Stop messing around and come help me out will you!?"

The boy ran towards the other side of the warehouse, only to find more armored men and two other people fighting against them.

A girl, also in her late teens, was fighting three armored men and was beginning to lose. "What are you standing around for Kevin?!" the girl exclaimed to the boy.

'Kevin' ran over towards her and punched the three men unconscious.

The girl let out a sigh of relief and turned towards Kevin. She had red/orange hair(pulled back in a ponytail) and blue eyes. She was wearing a black long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and black flats.

Kevin smirked at her and said, "Do you think your cousin needs any help, Gwen?"

'Gwen' simply sighed and looked over where the other person was fighting the armored men. "No, he doesn't need help...but he does need to hurry up. Grandpa Max said he wanted us to pay him a visit THREE hours ago... I don't think he's going to get any younger waiting for us..."

"BIG CHILL!"

Kevin and Gwen turned towards the exclaim and they both sighed in agitation.

A blue Necrofriggian, with a glowing green hourglass symbol on its chest, flew in front of the knight- like armored men and said, "I think it's time for you guys to chill out!" It then froze them all in place, by shooting an ice beam at all their feet.

The Necrofriggian landed in front of Kevin and Gwen and was then consumed by green light. The light then diminished and there stood a 16-year-old boy with brown hair and forest dark green eyes. He was wearing a black t-shirt, a green jacket with white stripes around its upper forearm and one white stripe over running down the left side of his chest, and was wearing blue jeans and black and white tennis shoes.

"What took so long Tennyson?" Kevin asked teasingly, causing Gwen to glare at him. The boy looked away in embarrassment and answered, "The Omnitrix wasn't charged yet..."

Gwen sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, "Let's just get going... It's a thirteen-hour trip, and I would like to get it over with..."

Kevin smiled at her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Let's get going then... Oh and Ben? We're taking my car... and I'M driving."

'Ben' groaned in irritation and reluctantly made his way over to Kevin's car.

*Time Skip* (Ben's POV)

A green muscle car pulled into a nearby gas station and parked next to one of the gas pumps.

Kevin stepped out of the car and stretched his arms out while Ben and Gwen got out of the car as well. Gwen went inside the gas station to go get drinks and food while Ben remained with Kevin. As Kevin began filling the car, Ben asked, "So how far are we from Rushmore?"

After a few minutes, Kevin finished filling the car with gas and put the nozzle back into place.

"I wanna say... about 230 miles? Maybe less..." Kevin answered. Ben groaned and laid his head on the top of the muscle car.

Ben heard Gwen walk back out. He felt Gwen staring at him and heard her ask, "What's wrong with him?"

Kevin answered with amusement clear in his voice, "Tennyson apparently can't handle long road trips..."

Ben looked up at him and retorted, "It's not that I don't like road trips Kev, it's the fact that there is nothing to do."

Gwen and Kevin laughed lightly at his childish retort. Gwen then walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk up. She grabbed something and closed the trunk back up and locked it. Gwen walked over to Ben and gave him a brown laptop bag. "Here. Why not keep yourself occupied? Look for some more alien or forever knight attacks...alright?" She didn't wait for Ben's answer as she climbed back into the passenger side of the car.

Ben looked at Kevin, only to have Kevin chuckle at him and then also climbed back into the car. Ben rolled his eyes and climbed into the back of the green muscle car.

The car rolled out of the gas station and got back on the road again.

*Time Skip*

Ben looked up from the laptop to find them passing by a sign that said 'Mount Rushmore'. Ben smiled and closed the laptop and put it beside him. He looked outside and noticed how dark it was, 'I didn't even realize what time it was...geez I've got to start paying better attention to my surroundings, again.'

After a few minutes had passed, the car slowed down and turned onto a dirt road. They then began to follow the dirt path slowly, not wanting to run into anything. This was their 'secret passageway' to the base. As the car followed the path, Ben scooted up next to Gwen and Kevin to get a good look of the pathway.

Ben could barely see in front of them because of the black void of Night surrounding them and he asked Gwen and Kevin, "Do you want me to go ahead and see if everything is clear?"

Gwen and Kevin looked at each other, then Gwen turned to Ben saying, "We wouldn't want to risk being caught by guards. Plus, if they see you first, they're going to start asking questions. So for now, just stay here... we're taking the old passageway we used to use as kids, to get to the base. So we shouldn't be detected, at least not very easily."

Ben nodded his head in confirmination and then turned his attention to the path again.

A clearing appeared in front of them and Kevin turned his headlights off. They all began to look for any sign of guards and/or others. "Coast is clear," Kevin said as he pulled the car up next to the monument.

Kevin turned off the car and they all got out and grabbed their things out of the trunk.

They all then covered the car with leaves and branches, to hide it from sight.

Ben walked up to the bottom of the monument. He began looking on the rocky surface until he found what he was looking for. A security camera was bolted about 7 feet above Ben. He looked at it and said loudly (But not too loudly enough for any guards to hear nearby), "Grandpa Max! It's Ben, Gwen, and Kevin! Let us in!"

Nothing.

Ben looked at Gwen and Kevin, but all they did as shrug their shoulders. Just when Ben was about to yell again, the circular hatch opened. Ben sighed in relief and walked through, followed by Kevin and Gwen.

They slid down the long slide-like tunnel and landed on their feet, now standing in a large room.

Ben looked around and smiled. 'This place has barely even changed...' he thought to himself.

To their right, was a large control panel with multiple buttons, switches, and levers. Above it was a large screen, currently showing data, security camera footage, and etc. To their left was a hallway, leading towards the weapon's storage, holding cells, and the vehicle bay. Straight ahead of them was another hallway that leads toward the living quarters and such. (A/N: I wanted to add a few things mostly because, I love this Plumber's base and I feel that this should be where our story begins. :D)Between the entrance to the two hallways, was a door that said, "Plumber's Office".

Ben turned towards Gwen and Kevin, "We better go check in with Grandpa Max before we go and put our stuff up." They both nodded and they all left their belongings by the hatch, and walked towards the 'Plumber's Office'. (Remember, I added some things...)

Ben knocked on the door before opening it wide open. Inside the room was, of course, a desk, topped with a computer, papers and other office supplies. On the opposite side of the room, there was a table with four chairs pulled up to it, a vase of red flowers and a few papers were on the top of the table.

"Hey, kids... glad you could make it."

The trio turned to where the voice was coming from and saw Grandpa Max, standing in the closet door that said 'Archives', with a smile on his face.

'Grandpa Max' had gray/white hair, dark blue eyes, and had a bit of weight to him, (along with a few wrinkles reavealing his 'old' age). He was wearing a white T-shirt under a red shirt with orange flowers, brown pants, and black boots.

Ben smiled and gave his grandpa a hug. "It's nice to see you too," Ben said with amusement in his voice. Gwen hugged him as well, and Kevin gave him a firm handshake.

"So what are you kids standing around here for? Go put up your things and we'll meet back up in the control room."

*Time Skip*

Everyone was now gathered in the control room (the main room by the hatch) and were just finished getting comfortable in either office chairs, or just foldable chairs.

"So, did you kids find anything? New or old?" Grandpa Max asked.

Kevin leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head. "Unfortunately nothing new…just old…" Ben leaned forward in his chair and said, "Well unless you might think odd changes of weather is something-"

Kevin laughed and said to Ben, "I'm pretty sure some bipolar weather isn't any 'new' or 'old' news." Ben looked at Gwen and Grandpa Max. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with Kevin on this one, Ben," Gwen said apologectically. "I don't know Gwen, he may be on to something...go on Ben," Grandpa Max stated.

Ben thought for a second before answering, "When I was 'researching' in the car, I found out that all across the states, there have been unnatural weather changes. Such as sunny one minute, and the next ten seconds, there's a blizzard. Or slightly windy and sunny one moment, to a hurricane the next."

"What's so odd about the hurricane? Stuff like that happens all the time..." Kevin stated.

Ben looked at Kevin and said, " Hurricane season isn't until June Kevin... It's January. Also, the hurricane occured in the mainland, as in Oklahoma 'mainland'..."

Everyone sat up at that last statement. "Now that...does sound like a problem," Grandpa said. "Who, or what, do you think is it? DNA Aliens maybe?" Gwen asked. "Could be...but I don't think it is. DNA Aliens love the cold weather, right? So why try and make a hurricane?" Ben asked. Everyone seemed to think about that last statement. Until Grandpa finally stood up and said, "I don't know kids...But what I do know, is that this can't mean anything good. We'll start investigating tomorrow, for now, let's all get some rest. You all deserve it."

But before they could even get up, the alarm blarred. "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!"

They all rushed towards the large screen and turned off the alarm. Grandpa Max then began typing and pushing buttons. "What is it, Grandpa?" Ben asked. Grandpa Max looked up at them and said, "The computer has picked up a humungous energy signature!" Grandpa Max brought up the radar on screen and Ben was speechless. The energy on the radar was HUGE! It almost covered the entire screen! Blue, purple, and dark green cloud of energy was swirling around in a tornadoe-like way.

"WHAT is that?!" Kevin exclaimed.

Grandpa Max began typing again, only to turn around towards them with an expression they weren't used too. A face full of worry and fear. "I'm not sure what it is, I've never seen anything this massive before... But what I do know, is it's right outside..."
