Sorry it took me a while but my parents have been on my ass about geometry, so I made this chapter longer and more epic. But God I hate math... Anyway, here's another chapter in the chronicles of Benjamin Tennyson...

As he was flying through the air, the only thought in Ben's mind was, I LOVE FLYING! After turning into Jetray (the current form he was flying in), he had headed straight for the Queensboro Bridge to test out his capabilities. When he reached the middle of the bridge, he went nuts. He did barrel rolls, inversions, corkscrews, etc. It was amazing. Ben was surprised he didn't have to flap his wings, but he would look that up later. Ben was also surprised by the speed this form had. He was probably going 200 mph easy. He saw people on the bridge taking pictures of him with camera phones, but he didn't care. Then a new thought popped into his head. He dived toward the water and felt the coolness of it as he splashed into it. At around 20 feet down he started swimming. This form could "fly" underwater too! "This is awesome," Ben said to himself underwater, which is when he realized he could talk and breathe underwater. Damn, this form was sweet! Ben flew out of the water and landed under the bridge, hanging upside-down like a bat and panting (which he could do because his feet had become two claw-like things that could grasp the poles under the bridge). He was liking the watch more and more. He closed his eyes in content. He might stay there for a while, maybe take a nap. Unfortunately, that's when more trouble showed up. Ben heard a sizzling sound nearby and opened an eye. Floating there, upside-down (from Ben's perspective), was a guy who seemed to be on fire. The Human Torch of the Fantastic Four. Crap.

"Hi there," the Torch said as he shot a ball of flame at Ben. Ben released the bridge's underside and plunged toward the water, pulling up at the last second. This combination allowed him to fly less than a foot off the surface of the water. He listened carefully as the Torch chased him, shooting fireballs at him which kept missing. When the fireballs hit the water, they dispersed and released a large amount of steam, which Ben left behind in a blur. Ben decided to pick up speed and bank to the right, heading toward the city. This might have worked if it weren't for the fact he was flying close to the Baxter Building. Ben, with the Torch close behind, tried to fly by, but didn't expect to crash. Have you ever seen a bird crash into a wall and just stick there with its wings and legs out? It was like that, but with nothing in the area he crashed in. He had crashed into thin air. He managed to move his eyes and spot a woman maybe 20 with blonde hair and a blue jumpsuit with a '4' on it. The Invisible Woman. Apparently Ben had ran into one of her force fields.

As soon as they locked eyes, the woman released the force field which let Ben fall to the ground. He tried to get back up, but then a rubbery substance wrapped around him, which turned out to be Mr. Fantastic himself. He kept his upper body at a safe distance where Ben couldn't possibly harm him. He had a notebook and pencil in his hands, which he began writing on in a quick manner. This really pissed off Ben. "Hey, Stretch Armstrong, how about you fight fair?!" he shouted at the superpowered genius. Mr. Fantastic looked up and said "Fascinating... Not only have you learned our language, but you've also learned of our culture. What else do you know?" His pencil ceased moving, staring intently at Ben. Before Ben could answer with a foul-mouthed insult, the Human Torch and Invisible Woman walked up.

"Why are we talking to it. Let's just fry him and be done with it!" said the Torch, still burning like a campfire. "Hey matchstick, shut up! The intellectuals are talking here!" Ben yelled at him before turning back to the professor who currently had him wrapped up. Needless to say, the Torch and Invisible Woman were surprised. Ben had an idea right then. "What are your names?" he asked. It was a sad fact. In all of this time, he had never learned the Fantastic Four's real names.

[Note: I don't read Ultimate Fantastic Four, so I don't know if they've revealed themselves to the public or if everyone knows their real names or not, so don't be a bitch about it.]

"I am Doctor Reed Richards. These are my teammates Susan and Johnny Storm," said Mr. Fantastic as he motioned toward his two friends. The other two didn't seem as talkative as the geek holding Ben hostage. Ben looked at Richards and tried to speak, but he didn't know he would shoot green blasts from his eyes. They hit Richards in the face, making him release Ben and grab his face in pain. Ben managed to say "Oh geez!" before a large fireball blew him through a window in a nearby building. Ben was covered in rubble while Susan was checking Reed's face. Johnny was ablaze and watching the building he just blew that alien into. Then he felt the ground rumble as Ben Grimm ran up. "Hey guys, what's going on?" he asked. He had gone to check for the alien on the bridge when Johnny chased him, which is why he just got here.

"The alien blasted Reed in the face with some kind of eye beams. He's in there under a pile of rubble after I gave him a fireball," explained Johnny. Ben, also known as the Thing, cracked his knuckles and growled "Guess I'd better make up for lost time then." He walked toward the pile of rubble and saw a green flash from between the cracks. As he grabbed onto a large chunk of rubble, he saw another green flash. Then the rock exploded as a large green form jumped out of it. The explosion of the rock knocked Grimm ((called this because of the two Bens in the story)) back a few steps. The green alien guy yelled out "DIAMONDHEAD!" and leaped out of the rubble. Grimm saw that the guy was made of a type of crystal, like he himself was made of stone. The alien had a head with a tip at the back, with two spikes sticking out of his back and his arms bare from his one piece black and white outfit. The hourglass symbol from the last guy was on this guy's chest but on the left pec instead of mid-chest.

Both Bens raised their fists and prepared to fight. Grimm charged first, yelling and raising his fist up. The green guy (Diamondhead of course) grabbed his fist with his left hand and hit Grimm in the face with a right hook that sent him flying. Grimm got up quickly and charged. Ben (Tennyson) jumped out of the way and delivered a left roundhouse kick to the gut. Grimm managed to twist around and hit Tennyson in the face with a back fist. Ben landed, used his hand as leverage, and delivered an upper kick that connected with Grimm's chin. Meanwhile, the other three members watched. "Shouldn't we help him?" asked Susan. Reed, wiping his eyes, said "No, let him sort this out. Besides, I want to examine this extraterrestrial. It changed from a flying creature into one made of organic diamond. This could be very bad. And where's the twins?" Then a red flash appeared next to the three.

Standing there were Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. Fashionably late of course. "Where were you?!" asked Johnny. "Sorry, we got caught up. The spell caused some kind of time delay," explained Quicksilver. He turned and saw the two Bens battling it out. "We miss anything?" he asked sarcastically. Wanda said "We have no time for this. Nick is getting very impatient." She then raised her hands and was about to start her incantation when Ben Grimm was thrown into her. Both were knocked into the Baxter Building lobby. Needless to say, Pietro was pissed. With a battle cry, he charged at Diamondhead and started encircling him to create a cyclone. Ben Tennyson was starting to lose oxygen. He fell to one knee; one hand on the ground, the other clutching his throat. Come on, do something cool and lifesaving! he screamed in his mind. He then felt a strange tug in his stomach. Then something cool and lifesaving happened.

A large emerald diamond the size of a motorcycle erupted from the earth. Quicksilver didn't see it until he slammed face-first into it. He was down for the count. The cyclone ceased, and Diamondhead could breathe again. He stood up and faced the three FF members left. The torch threw a fireball at Ben's head. He took it full-blast... And didn't feel a thing. He then lifted his right arm up and felt up shift so that his hand was replaced with sharp emeralds the size of railroad spikes. He aimed his arm at the FF, and hesitated. He wasn't the bad guy here. What was he doing? He lowered his arm slightly... only to be hit by another fireball. "Johnny!" shouted Susan. She had caught on, however. This thing fought only in self-defense. She had to act quickly before Johnny was speared. She thrust her arms to the sides, one at each fighter, and blocked them off from each other. "STOP!" she yelled. Both diamond and fire ceased. "Okay, now that I have your attention, let's talk like civilized people, er, sorry, beings," she said, the force field fluxuating. Johnny turned off his flames. Diamondhead lowered his arm.

"Now then. You, rock guy, what's your name?" she asked Ben (Tennyson, remember, Thing is knocked out). Ben said "Call me Diamondhead." She nodded and said "Okay, now that we are communicating, let's try to sort this out." Before this little conversation could commence, Reed (who had been watching the creature intently, his mind geeking out) shouted "Look!" The four looked and saw a giant fireball coming toward them. Ben's first thought was, I HATE meteors! The meteor seemed to be heading toward the street that had just been torn up. Some people had already abandoned their rooms close to the ground, and the street was devoid of life. Ben, thinking quickly, turned and said "I'll get speedy, you get into the Baxter Building." The trio nodded and headed for said building. Ben ran over and slung Quicksilver over his shoulder, then, in the most proper term for this moment, ran like hell toward the Baxter Building. He barely made it before the meteor crashed.

It actually didn't do too much damage. Still loud though. BOOM! The ground shook as the space rock hit. None of the heroes could stay standing. The meteor left a large pit as it scraped along the ground. Ben could hear car alarms going off in the distance. Finally, the shaking decreased, and the sound of asphalt being crunched up ceased. After a few moments, nobody said anything. Then the Thing and Wanda woke up. "What happened?" asked Wanda while rubbing her temples. The Thing saw Diamondhead and said "You got three seconds before I turn you into jewelry." Sue put her hand on his shoulder and whispered into his ear. Well, where his ear should be. He looked at her and said "Please tell me you're joking." Sue shook her head. He sighed and said to Diamondhead "Okay, you got lucky. But this isn't over." Diamondhead grinned and said "Funny, I thought it was over when I knocked you out without breaking a sweat, boulder-butt."

Before Grimm could respond, there was a loud BOOM, though not as loud as when the meteor crashed. The heroes ran outside (minus the twins; one was out cold, the other disoriented). Five jaws dropped as the meteor stood up. It appeared to be losing its surface, looking less like a rock and more like... a machine. The meteor had grown three legs, kind of insectoid in shape. The body was long, blood red and kinda thin. Then the meteor grew two arms. The arms looked like big gauntlets with four fingers; it seemed to be connected to the body by a skinny pole-thing. Finally, a head emerged from the top, which had big eyes that resembled those of a bee or other insect. There was no mouth. Now there was a giant, three legged bug robot in New York, and it had its eyes on Diamondhead.

Ben Tennyson/Diamondhead spoke first: "Dammit, I knew something like this was gonna happen!"

Once again, I'm sorry about the wait. Now that I'm up to the Diamondhead vs Giant robot fight, as seen in the original episode, I feel like I should tell you this: There will be many Ben 10 scenes and battles from the series, but none will be the exact same as in the series. I've been making plans, and here's a little hint: Remember that Guns N' Roses lighter from the first chapter? Keep that in mind.
