I am so sorry for not updating for a long while, but school can be distracting, especially when I can be lazy when I don't want to be.

Before you read, you should know a few things. Despite your wishes, Ben's Ultimatrix can't cure EVOs, at least, not in my story. His watch's technology came from another universe, so he can't really change them back, Rex only. I wanted it that way and you will see why later. Nothing will be spoiled if you want a reason why I can't make that.

Anyways, enjoy this next chapter. I do not own Ben 10 or Generator Rex. And again I apologize for not updating so soon. And thanks to all who had taken the time to review my story.

Chapter 4: Soccer Match

Rex walked through the Providence halls tired. His black hair was a mess and his eyes were droopy. Last night's EVO attack had made him stay up pass midnight. Also given the fact the strange black and yellow creature that helped him from before was ordered to be killed if deemed a threat and that didn't help him sleep well at all that night. He walked through the doors of the mess hall to see that it was mostly empty, mostly because he was late waking up. He turned his head to see Agent Six, couple of bandages here and there, but otherwise, healed, leaning on the pillar near the door with a coffee cup in his hand. Rex just grumbled and sat at the nearest table, which was where Bobo and Holiday sat while eating their breakfast, and slammed his head on the table.

"Didn't get enough beauty sleep chief?" question the chimp as he used his foot to hold his fork as he ate a couple of waffles topped with bananas. Rex just groaned in response. "Touchy."

"Rex, maybe you should go back to sleep after breakfast," said Holiday as she handed him one of the cafeteria's blueberry muffins.

Taking the muffin he quickly responded, "Naw, I'm fine. Just a little breakfast will get me back to my usual heroic self."

Chuckling at his statement, Holiday's face turn solemn once again. "I still haven't found enough information on the energy or the creature. Isn't there anything that you forgot to mention, anything out of the ordinary or strange?" Rex chewed on his muffin before quickly swallowing and thought for a couple of seconds.

"Not really, Noah and I were just shooting some hoops with Ben-Oh man! I forgot!" shouted Rex. Holiday had frightened eyes at his sudden outburst as Bobo fell off the table. Holiday's fears went away at his next declaration. "I forgot to check up on Noah and Ben after I cured the EVO! Where is my communicator?" He dug into his pants and jacket pockets to find his ear communicator, but Holiday gave him her cell phone instead after he tried in vain to find his own phone. He smiled sheepishly as he took the phone. "Thanks." He dialed Noah's number as Bobo grunted something under his breath as he sat back up and Agent Six walked up to their table.

"Hello, Rex?" said Noah's voice from the other end of the phone.

"Hola Noah. Just checking up on you after the whole EVO thing. By the way, do you know where Ben is, or if he's okay?"

"Ben? Yeah, he's fine. In fact he's asleep on my couch."

"Wait, Ben's at your place?"

"Well, he asked because he said he can't find his own way back home and it was getting late. He was exhausted. The moment he entered my house he crashed on the sofa."

"Okay then. Anyways, do you guys want to shoot some hoops later?"

"Sure. I'll ask Ben when he wakes up, cool?"

"Cool. Later Noah." Rex hung up and saw Holiday with a warm smile and Six with his usual emotionless face. "What?"

"New friend?" asked Holiday after Rex handed back her phone. The look on her face showed that she was happy for Rex that he found a new friend.

"Yeah," he answered as he sat back in his seat. He took another bite of the muffin. "His name is Ben Tennyson, and I can school his butt in basketball. He's a pretty great guy, and he even has a good sense of humor."

"It's good you're making new friends."

"Yeah, makes a special Providence weapon feel normal for a change. At least, if he just appear there by accident?" Rex said with an eyebrow raised at Six. His best friend Noah was hired help, and he still felt a bit betrayed by that. He forgave him, but if Providence was using Ben like that…

"Never heard of the guy," calmly said Six to the teen EVO, very serious that it isn't the case. Rex saw this and was relieved. Then the agent's words made him think back about Ben and what he asked him from before.

"By the way, have any of you guys heard of a place called Bellwood?"Both of his guardians seem to think about it. Six only shook his head. Holiday seemed to think the same thing.

"No, where you heard it from?" inquired Holiday.

"Ben, he said he was lost and was asking around. That place must be out-of-the-way for him not to know what an EVO is." That last statement had surprised everyone at the table.

"So, the kid don't get out much," commented Bobo as he picked another of his waffles.

"He never saw an EVO before?" questioned Six over this new piece of information.

Rex shook his head. "Actually, when I brought him along when that EVO showed up last night, he thought it was an alien." That got everyone confused. Rex had to admit, Ben was confusing alright. He never heard of an EVO before, but he believes in aliens? "Anyways, I'm going over there if nobody minds. Coming Bobo?"

"Let me just finish this last waffle chief," he said with a mouth full of the breakfast item before quickly swallowing and running after the leaving teen. That left the two adults to think to themselves.

"What do you make of it Holiday?" questioned Six, knowing that this 'Ben Tennyson' is someone of an enigma to the both of them. He could be a threat and could lead Rex into a trap if they weren't too careful.

"Don't know, but from what happened yesterday, who's to say that Rex's new friend is connected to all this," she answered as she stood up and started to gather her things. "I'll look up on any information on Ben and this Bellwood; you keep an eye out for Rex."

Walking away after he tossed his empty Styrofoam cup into the trash before retorting, "It's what I live for."

It would seem like Ben is going to be stuck in this world for a while. After that whole experience with that EVO thing and what's been going on, there is no doubt in his mind that he is in some alternate universe or something, but he had no idea on how to go back home on his own. At least Noah and his folks were okay with him staying with them for the night. He needs to find a job to earn some money for food and other things; he was running low on supplies. And Ben needs to find some sort of temporary base because he isn't just going to sleep at some abandon apartment. 'Where do I even start?'

"Hey Ben."

Ben halted his thoughts to see Noah with a bowl of cereal on his hand. "Sleep well?"

Ben chuckled as he took the offered bowl and sat up from the couch. "Yeah, your furniture is really comfy." He took a spoonful of the breakfast item before speaking to the blond teen, "Sorry to be a pest."

"No need to apologize. Listen, Rex wanted to play basketball again later and asked if you want to join."

"Please tell me I don't need to buy lunch again, I'm out of cash," he complained after he quickly swallowed. Noah just chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Rex will be leaving before we get hungry." That statement had Ben think back at Rex. He says he is an EVO and that he was different from the others. What exactly are EVOs? And how did Rex change it to a human being? Ben's thoughts were interrupted again when Noah said, "So, you coming with?"

"Truthfully I rather play a sport where I actually have a chance of winning." He took another spoonful of the bowl as Noah seemed to think about it.

"So, what do you have in mind?"

Ben finished his meal and had a smile on his face as he asked, "Know where there's a good soccer field around here?"

XXXXX

Rex had just got a call from Noah to meet him at some soccer field. Noah said that Ben wants to play a sport he has a chance at. Truth is, Rex never played soccer before, but that doesn't mean he can beat them with style. He flew over the field below him, Bobo on his back, and saw both Noah and Ben near one of those goals. They took off their jackets to keep them from getting too hot. Noah was sitting down on one of the benches closest to Ben as he was kicking a soccer ball in the air while they were talking about something. Rex had got to admit, Ben is good when handling the ball, but he isn't all that. He landed in front of them and retracted his wings, Bobo jumping off his back and landed next to him. Ben stopped what he was doing and gawked at Rex's entrance.

"Even I got to admit that is pretty cool," he finally muttered as Noah came up to them.

"Fashionably late again I see," remarked Noah with a smile on his face.

"Hey, I need my beauty sleep, besides you called saying we're trying something new," reply Rex as Ben takes the ball again with his feet.

"Don't blame me, Ben wanted to play."

"And I can actually win at this game," Ben said as he tossed the soccer ball in the air with his knees. After a while, he stopped kicking and pointed at Bobo. "Anyways, what's with the monkey?" Bobo chuckled dryly at his question.

"Kid, to you I'm a simian," he answered causing Ben to look at him at awe.

"And it talks." He stared at him with amusement, but not much shock. In fact, Rex seems to think that Ben wasn't surprised at all.

"Yeah, Bobo's an EVO too. You seem to take it rather well?" Rex asked at their exchange. Ben merely shrugged.

"Hey, a lot of weirder things had happen. So, you guys ready to play?"

"Oh, I'm born ready," Rex retorted as he took off his jacket. "So, how do you play?"

Ben picked up their soccer ball as he said, "You just have to kick this ball and aim it into the net. No hands, got it?" He tossed the ball onto the ground in front of them.

Noah ran up to the grounded soccer ball, all intending to kick it in the goal. "How hard could it be?" He kicked, only to miss the ball and land on his back. The other boys and chimp started laughing at his fall.

After that their game began. Rex and Noah were wrestling the ball with their feet, only for Ben to take it and shoot a goal. Rex later tried shooting the ball into the net. Ben just beat him to it. Noah tried kicking the ball again, but he fell on his back again. That left Ben to score another goal. Bobo just relaxed at the benches, occasionally chuckling at Rex and Noah losing their game to the new guy. Getting tired of this, Rex suggested they get a goalie. Noah was the first one up, guarding the goal from the two other teens in front of him. Ben, the ball in front of him, merely smiled before launching the ball straight pass Noah and hitting the net. After a while, Rex became goalie with only one mission, stop Ben from kicking in another goal. His face drenched in sweat as he focused on Ben. The guy was merely kicking the ball with his knees again as he smiled. He suddenly kicked it high into the air, Rex focusing on the ball. He then saw Ben jumping up and knocking the ball into the net with his head before Rex could react. Rex could only blink in surprise before Bobo's laughter snap him back out of it. Later, Ben acted as the goal keeper. Rex and Noah decided to gang up on him to try and score one goal. However, every shot they tried only ended up on Ben's hands. And he wasn't breaking a sweat.

"You guys aren't really good at this game," remarked Ben as he stopped yet another shot made by Rex.

"Seriously Ben, how good are you at this?" asked an out-of-breath Noah.

Ben merely shrugged. "I play on my school's soccer team. In fact, I'm their best goalie." Rex and Noah groaned as Bobo started to laugh again. Rex had realized on why they were getting their butts handed to them. "So, do you guys give up yet?" he taunted as he kicked the ball to Rex's feet.

Rex merely turned his back at him; the soccer ball near his feet. He let out a breath of air before quickly turning around and morphing his right foot into one of his Punk Busters. He kicked the ball with the enlarged foot as he yelled, "GOAL!" Ben didn't have time to react at the sudden move. The ball had hit him in the stomach before sending them both into the back of the net. Rex's smirk turn into a frown as he saw what happened. He quickly morphed his foot back to normal and ran up with Noah to see if Ben was alright.

"I say you get extra points for hitting the goalie," commented Bobo after the two boys helped Ben sit up.

"You okay man?" asked Noah seeing how dazed Ben was.

"Do you enjoy nearly killing me with balls?" Ben groaned after he stood back up.

"Sorry, just thought I could add some extra kick," answered Rex with a nervous smile. Ben just rolled his eyes as he picked up the ball again.

After the whole incident, the three boys and monkey are sitting on the benches. Ben won hands down, 24 goals. Rex only got 3 goals while Noah sadly had 0 goals from the game.

"I gotta say Rex, with a little practice, you can easily be a good soccer player," commented Ben as he tossed the ball into the air.

"Yeah true," said Rex as he caught the ball. "Anyways Ben, I must say you have more skills then I thought." He then caught a glance at Ben's oversized watch. "That is one big watch Ben. Something about it seems familiar. Where'd you get it?" Ben looked visibly uncomfortable.

"It's a sort of specialty item I got from my grandpa," he answered while placing a hand on it. "Listen Rex, I just want to ask." His face became serious as he placed his hands into his pockets. "What is an EVO exactly?" Rex almost forgot; he never did explain what exactly what was an EVO to him. Just before he could answer him, they felt the wind pick up wildly around them. Rex lifted his head to see that a Providence transport flying overhead.

"Rex, you're needed." Rex shifted his gaze to the green suited man in front of him. He looked impatient for someone who doesn't show emotion. Sighing, Rex prepared to leave with Bobo to combat whatever EVO is causing destruction.

"Oh, Ben this is Agent Six, my ninja nanny," Rex introduced to his new friend. He turned his attention to Six. "Six, this is the guy I told you about."

Six just had that serious expression on his face. "We're leaving now Rex."

Rex looked a bit annoyed at that. "Sorry guys, but duty calls." Ben got up before they left.

"Hey, can I come?"

"No." That was Six's simple reply, but to Rex it seems like Six doesn't trust his new friend. Ben seemed to sulk about it, but let them leave nonetheless. Once inside the carrier, Rex turned his attention to Six.

"What was that about?"

"Rex, something about him isn't right. I got a call from Holiday about him, but numerous EVOs have showed themselves at San Jose. We'll talk about it later." The carrier lifted off, sending the agents to their mission in California. Rex waved to his two friends, promising for another game next time. On the ground Ben and Noah watched them leave until they were out of sight. Rex then looked back at the agent. He said Ben can't be trusted, but why?

Noah looked at Ben as he stared at the sky where the carrier once made the scene. He picked up the abandoned soccer ball near the goal. "How's about you teach me some moves Ben?" Ben only smiled a bit before heading off.

"Sorry, I gotta do something first. I'll catch you later!" Ben ran to the nearest alley. He made sure that there were no people before activating his Ultimatrix. He twisted the dials before finding what he was looking for. He slammed down the face plate and began feeling all the heat in his body turn cold. His skin turn blue as wings sprouted from his back, covering him as a cloak. He felt himself turn more as an insect than a human being. Once the transformation was complete, the wings around his body uncovered as he shouted, "Bigchill!" He flew invisibly near the carrier. "No way you guys are leaving me behind," he silently said as he followed.

Holiday stared at the blinking light on the screen. She carefully tracked it and made sure it never left her sight. After what she learned on Ben Tennyson, she had to make sure that her boys on their mission where close at hand. She activated her communicator in her ear and called Agent Six.

"The energy signature is following you guys. Make sure he doesn't know that."

There is another chapter, finally. Hope you enjoy the exchange, and I hope I wrote Bobo right. Fair warning, I might take long again for the next one to be posted. Please review.
