(Quick mention before the story starts, A moment of silence for the Man and the Legend. R.I.P Stan Lee, 1922 - 2018. Rest in Peace, you glorious Man.)
_
In a Dark Back Alley, Gwen and Kevin wake up to find themselves... well, in a back alley. "Ugh... No more Portals from here on out.." Kevin said groggily. Gwen gets up, wiping the filth off of her costume, and quickly retracts the entire suit into the Cat icon on her Belt, leaving her with her Old Clothes she used to wear as a kid. "Okay, we made it to this Universe, now to find Ben and Grandpa and try to lay low." Gwen said helping her still exhausted boyfriend up. Suddenly, Kevin sees two people behind her, and is absolutely speechless. "Kevin? what's wrong?" Gwen asked. "Either I hit the Ground too Hard, or I'm seeing double. Look!" Kevin said pointing at the two individuals. Gwen was as surprised as her boyfriend to see Themselves, but not themselves. The other Gwen wore a Bright Pink Hoodie with a Blue-ish Plaid Skirt and Skinny Jeans with Heels. The other Kevin was wearing a White Tank Top with a 11 Tattooed on his Chest, Shorter, messier hair, and wearing Grunge Jeans, Leather Gloves and Hiking Boots. "Okay, talk about an anomaly. What's going on here?" The other Gwen said readying one of the Charms of Ba-Zel. "State your name and Business, Imposters." The other Kevin stated absorbing the Concrete on the Floor. Gwen and Kevin got in Fighting Stances, when all of a sudden, Both Gwens began to feel weak.
"Gwen, you okay?" Kevin said holding her up. She saw that a Pink Line of Energy was coming from her chest. "What in the..." Kevin was at a loss for words. This never happened before. The Pink Energy Line jammed itself into the Other Gwen's Stomach, and the Two swiftly came at each other. In a Flash of Bright Pink Light, the two were gone, only one Gwen Remained. A mixture of the two. This Gwen wore a Bright Blue and White Hoodie with a Pink Cat insignia on the front of it, with a White Plaid Mini Skirt and Skinny Jeans with Red Sneakers. Then, the same thing happened to The two Kevins, in a flash of Gray Light, the two were gone, and only one Kevin remained. This Kevin had a Sleeveless Black T-shirt with a White T-shirt underneath it, and a 11 Tattooed onto his chest. His scar on his face is still there, but his hair was now inbetween long and short. He wore Grunge Action Jeans and Black Combat Boots and Fingerless Leather Gloves.
Both of the two looked at themselves and then back at each other. "Gwen? What the hell just happened?" Kevin asked. "It would seem that due to us already existing in this universe, somesort of force merged the two entities together into one that would best fit this Universe's kind of Mana Flow, as when our universe was only used to 1 Full Anodyte and Me, a Halfa being in the same location. But due to Two Halfas being in the same Universe, as in 2 Half Osmosians being in the same Universe as well, something forced the two versions to Fuse together, into one Singular Version that blends both Versions into what seems to be the better version, if this happened to us, this might happen or has happened to Ben and Grandpa. We have to find them." Gwen Explained. Then, the sound of a Vehicle Honking its horn comes from behind the two. Its the Rustbucket, back in its former Glory.
An old man walks out of the Rustbucket, revealing it to be Grandpa Max. This Max is mixed with the Max we know, and the Max of the Marvel Universe. This Max his a steadily growing Beard and Sunglasses with a Trucker Hat on. He wears a Brown Vest over his Hawaiian Shirt and is wearing Light Beige Slacks with Brown Fishing Boots on. "Hey there Gwen, glad I found ya." Max said warmingly. Gwen runs up and hugs her grandfather, and Max looks at Kevin. "You too, Young Man." Max said inviting him for a Hug. "Good to see you, Old timer. Did you find Ben at all?" Kevin asked. Max's smile soon faded into a solemn frown. "I found this World's Ben... and he isn't doing too good." Max said inviting them into the RV. Gwen and Kevin notice the other Ben and can't help but be shocked. This world's Ben never found the omnitrix or had any powers. on the day the omnitrix came to this earth, it was destroyed on impact, and the radiation the pod had around itself practically made Ben really ill... beyond modern medicine's help actually. This Ben was pale, whiter than white. His hair was short, a lighter brown, dark rings are under his eyes due to the lack of sleep he's had, He wore a long sleeve White Shirt with Black Sleeves and Sweatpants. He was shivering, and seemed to be 14. "G-G-Graaandpaaa... I don't feeeell... so good..." The other Ben said weakly. This other Ben was breathing weakly, but heavily. Max had a really worried expression on his face, almost as if he was about to cry.
"Its... Its gonna be okay, Ben... We're gonna find a certain someone to help you... You have my word." Max said choking up. Gwen was uncomfortable that a version of her cousin, was legitimately on his death bed, getting worse by the second. Kevin couldn't help but stay silent. The group and Other Ben keep driving throughout the streets of Manhattan and hope to eventually find their Ben.
"And that, Mr. Alien Shapeshifter, Is the long and short of the origins of my powers, what about your powers? Tell me what I'm dealing with here." Spider-Man Asked. Ben was surprised that this 'Spider-Man' guy was once a natural Human being, until he got bit by a Radioactive Spider, becoming Spider-Man. "Look, I'll tell you how I got my powers, but you can't tell ANYONE ELSE about how I can do the things I can do, alright?" Ben said strictly. "You have my word, Ben. So, How can you do the things you do?" Spider-Man asked. "Well, it all started back when I was 10 Years Old. I was spending the Summer Vacation with my Doofus Cousin and my Grandpa. I was walking through the woods for a bit when I saw a shooting star. But I realized real quick It wasn't a shooting star, but more of a Meteor. But upon further examination of that meteor, Meteors aren't normally perfect Metal Spheres. I went to look at it and inside it, was The Omnitrix. It latched onto my wrist, bonding to my DNA, allowing me to turn into 10 Different Alien Heroes. As time went by, I had unlocked about 23-25 Different DNA Samples on that one Vacation, I took off the Watch to live a normal life again, and 5 Years Later, I put it back on, and gained 10 New Aliens. During a mission to stop one of many villains out to get me, he had a omnitrix known as the Ultimatrix, a device similar to the Omnitrix, but can evolve certain transformations in a 1,000,000 Year Apocalyptic Simulation, fitting them with what would be them if put into a 1,000,000 year War, and evolved for that War. After awhile, a Demonic Entity made itself known to Earth, it called itself Diagon. He was somesort of Interdimensional Squid Demon, looking to take over Earth. I stopped him, and sacrificed the power of The Ultimatrix and Diagon to return everyone back to their free willed minds, saving the world... I lost the Ultimatrix because It wasn't worthy enough to be used by me, so this New Omnitrix is Model 2, a newer version of the Omnitrix I had found when I was 10." Ben explained.
Spider-Man was utterly baffled, this 18 Yr. Old Highschool Student, had Power in close comparison to Gods or even beyond that, and used that power to save his race from somesort of Squid Demon... That was Heroic in Spidey's Book, and he didn't care who called him out, he'll stand by those feats till the end. "That is insane, Ben. But since you easily took down Electro with one of your Aliens, when I can barely touch him without getting shocked, I'd say you've been at this for almost a full Decade. You've earned more than a title of hero, Ben. Maybe someday, you'd like to join the Avengers? We could use someone like you in our ranks." Spider-Man offered. "I'll think about it... I just need to find my Fami-" Ben was cut off with some sort of Sharp Pain in his Chest. "Ben, you alright?" Spider-Man said holding him up. "Something's... Wrooongg..." Ben struggled to speak. A green energy was emanating around him, making Ben slowly Float up. "Uh Ben? is this another one of your Powers?" Spider-Man asked Nervously. "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ben Exclaimed. His Voice was sounding Distorted, almost to where it didn't sound like him.
"Grandpa, something's wrong with Ben!" Gwen said urgently. "What's happening back there?" Max said in a concerned tone. "He's Glowing Green, and floating. What do you think is wrong with him?" Gwen said blatantly. Max put the RV into Auto Drive and saw Other Ben floating, looking worse than ever. "Graandpaaaa... It... Huuuurrrttsss..." Ben whined in a sickly tone of voice. Suddenly, The RV was stopped forcibly. "What the Hell was that?!" Kevin said looking up front. There was this Huge Man in a Prison Jumpsuit with a Wrecking Ball on a Chain slung over his shoulder, and the man seemed to be pinheaded and not have any hair. "Okay, who are you?" Kevin said angrily. "Name's Absorbing Man. And you people are IN MY WAY! So GET LOST! THIS IS MY TERRITORY!" Absorbing Man Exclaimed, getting in Kevin's face. "Absorbing Man huh? Well meet The guy who did it better... ME!" Kevin said absorbing the Pavement. Absorbing Man was caught off guard a bit. "What the?! NO ONE TAKES MY POWERS!" Absorbing man said trying to punch Kevin. Kevin blocks his punch and kicks him in the face. Gwen notices Other Ben floating in the separate Direction they were originally coming from. "Go after him, I got this pinheaded Copycat!" Kevin said punching Absorbing Man in the Face. Gwen and Max chase after the sickly looking Ben and notice another Ben, Their Ben, floating in the air, and now heading right for the sick Ben. Both Bens Collide, and Neither Ben can hear anything... just Silence.
A new Entity falls onto the Pavement, unconscious and not moving. "Hey, Ben! You okay?" Spider-Man said picking him up. The new Ben just Groaned. "I'll take that as a-" "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY COUSIN!" Gwen Exclaimed using her Mana to pull Ben towards her. "Hey, Easy! I think after all he's been through today, don't shake him up so much." Spider-Man said trying to be civil. "Who. Are. You." Gwen said with her eyes glowing Pink. "Name's Spider-Man, I'm a Superhero, and also one of the Avengers. Listen, your cousin told me what he could do, and what you folks are trying to do here in our universe. I won't tell the others about his powers and why he's here, because he wanted me to do just that, not tell them. And between you guys and me, my Real Name's Peter Benjamin Parker. If you guys need a Place to stay, then I'm sure my Aunt May wouldn't mind some extra company, if that's fine." Spider-Man offered, taking off his mask. "Well, Peter, I'm Max. This is Gwen, and the guy fighting that Escaped Convict is Gwen's Boyfriend, Kevin. He's with us. And we'd love to stay for a couple nights." Max introduced. "Great, I'll give her a call after I go deal with Absorbing Man, and you can go get your grandson some medical help. I'll see you guys later." Spider-Man said web slinging after Absorbing Man.
Kevin and Absorbing Man are going neck and neck against each other, and seem to really be even in terms of Raw Strength. "Y'know kid, you got guts to face me. But you can't beat the original." Absorbing Man said. "Who said you were the original, Pinhead?" Kevin said headbutting the Metal Convict, knocking him back. "So, Absorbing Man has resorted to fighting Mutants for fun. Lemme tell ya something Bub, I don't appreciate Mutant Harassers, or you." A Gruff and gravelly voice said before kicking Absorbing Man in the back, knocking him down. The Man was in a Yellow, Dark Navy blue and Midnight Black Suit with a Yellow Mask with Black Outlines around the eyes. He wore Navy Blue gloves wit Metal Claws coming out of the knuckles. "Who are you?" Kevin asked confused about who this guy exactly was. "Oh, Logan! Nice to see you again, Buddy!" Spider-Man said jumping down from the wall he was on, watching the fight. "Webhead, Call me Wolverine, 5th time I'll say it, and this is a Mutant affair. Don't you and those wussy Avengers get in the way of that." Wolverine said glaring at the Webslinger. "So, you're Webhead and this is Wolverine? You guys got the wrong Idea here, I'm half Alien, Not a Mutant, get your facts straight or those claws are gonna be mine one of these days." Kevin said. "And by the way, if you relate me to this hulking Cone Brained Moron here, then you are just asking for trouble. The name's Kevin, Nuff said." Kevin said returning to his normal state.
(And that was Chapter 3: Pre-Alignment. Next Chapter will include some other Ben 10 Characters and seeing what Gwen and Kevin will do in this new Universe they will call their new Home).
