I do not own any characters from the Ben 10, Teen Titans or Justice League Unlimited series. I will only claim ownership of any original characters and alien forms used in this story. This story is set in the future at the possible end of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. There will be many pairings, some of which are cannon but others that are ones that I thought would be a good mix. Enjoy the story.


Episode 12.

Memory Lost

Author: Toku Warrior


Opening theme – 'Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger' (Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger OP Theme)


High above the Earth floated the main base of the Justice League, the Watchtower, and its many sub stations which housed many of its crew as they went about their daily routines. Located in one of the monitor rooms was Batman as he slowly went over all the old files and news reports that concerned Ben and his alien forms. The dark knight thought it strange that a young superhero like Ben, who was once a world famous hero, was no longer remembered by the planets populace with the sole exception of the currently stationed Plumbers.

Standing behind Batman were the rest of the founding League members who were Wonder Woman, Shayera, Green Lantern, Flash, J'onn J'onzz and Superman. They too were interested in the missing memories of Ben from the minds of the Earth's people.

"Don't you find it strange that no one remembers him?" Diana asked as they all watched a scene of Chromastone fighting a Highbreed. "I mean, he's been fighting these types of enemies for years and no one, not even ourselves, has any memories of him."

"That may be so Diana, but there must be a reason behind these…lost memories," J'onn stated.

Batman played the last file which showed Ben fighting a strange alien being that looked like a cross between a Forever King and Vilgax. In the background of the video were the battered and unconscious bodies of the Plumbers Kids, Gwen and Julie. Kevin could be seen kneeling behind Gwen, holding her close to himself as he watched Ben duke it out with the strange alien while using his Four Arms form.

As Four Arms let loose a powerful left hook with his upper arm the alien jumped over him and, when it landed, performed a back kick, sending Four Arms flying into a boulder. The dust whirled around in the air for a few seconds and then settled as Four Arms slowly pushed the pieces of smashed boulder off of his body. He looked over behind the alien and saw the severely injured form of Julie, who at that point in time was still his girlfriend. His green eyes began to glow as he slapped the Omnitrix symbol upon his chest, changing into Way Big.

Way Big then brought his arms up and powered up his mystic energy beam as the alien jumped up and pulled out a couple of blasters, laying heavy laser fire upon Way Big's body. This didn't even cause the To'kustar to flinch in the slightest. Just as Way Big was about to fire his energy blast the video suddenly ended, as if the remaining portion of the file had been deleted for some reason. Batman just stared at the blank screen for a few seconds while the others wondered what had happened to the video.

"Is that it? You mean we don't get to see what happened?" Flash asked.

Batman then slowly turned around in his chair and faced the others. "I think we should have Ben come up here for a little chat." His eyes narrowed as he looked at the others, his mind going over the recent information.

"That might be a good idea," Superman added, agreeing with Batman. He turned to face the others and locked eyes with J'onn. "J'onn, see if you can get in touch with Ben. We don't have him scheduled for training today and Jump City isn't experiencing any crimes at the moment so he should be at Titans Tower."

"Of course," J'onn replied as he turned to leave to go and contact Ben. That was, until John stepped in front of him, blocking his path.

"That won't work," GL told them as he looked them all in the eyes.

"What do you mean it won't work? He's at Titans Tower so it should work," Shayera retorted.

"No, it won't," GL replied.

"Why's that?" Diana asked.

"That's because Ben's not on Earth right now." The others looked at him for a few seconds until one of them spoke up.

"If he's not on Earth, then where is he?" Batman asked. John stood there as he lowered his head and let out a soft sigh.

"Well, he's actually…"


(Azmuth's Lab; Planet: Galvin Prime – Mark II)

"So, what's the verdict Azmuth?" Ben asked as he sat in an examination chair, carefully watching the small old Galvin press a button on his hover desk, retracting a few robotic arms away from the Omnitrix.

"Well, the Omnitrix appears to operating just fine…for the moment," he said in a wise yet somehow worried voice. Ben just cocked an eyebrow as he slowly got up out of the chair, watching Azmuth jump back down to the ground and land near the feet of his lab assistant, Myaxx.

"What do you mean, 'For the moment'?" Ben asked. He wanted to know if something was wrong with the Omnitrix and from what he could tell by Azmuth's voice, something was wrong.

"Well, it seems all the training you've been doing in order to master Omnicron has had some sort of side effect on the Omnitrix," Azmuth replied while slowly stroking his dangling whiskers.

Both Ben and Myaxx watched as Azmuth headed over to his lab window and activated his large monitor screen, bringing up an internal schematic view of the Omnitrix core and its base mount unit. Ben and Myaxx walked up behind him and they both studied the image. After a moment Azmuth turned around and looked up at Ben who looked down at the small alien.

"So, what kind of side effect are we talking about?" Myaxx asked, wanting to know the answer to the same question that Ben, himself, was about to ask.

"From what I can gather, it looks like the Omnitrix can't fully handle the power feedback that the Emergency Alien forms let off when their transformations are activated," Azmuth replied.

"But I've only unlocked just one so far," Ben added.

"Yes, you have. But you have been using it constantly in training without giving the Omnitrix the proper time to rest," Azmuth retorted. Ben just looked at him and sighed digestedly. He knew he should have taken the training a bit more slowly but he had wanted to master Omnicron as fast as possible. "But don't worry too much about it."

"Really?" Ban asked.

"Yes, really. All you need to do is refrain from using Omnicron for the next week and the Omnitrix should do just fine." Azmuth then paused for a moment and then spoke once more. "Let us just hope that nothing comes up in which you are then forced to transform into Omnicron or, heaven forbid, some other new Emergency form that you are not yet accustomed too."

Ben let out a sigh of relief and then took out his cell phone to look at the time and noticed it was getting late. He then put the phone back in his pocket and returned his gaze back to both Azmuth and Myaxx. "Well, I need to get going. Thanks again for the monthly physical and for performing maintenance on the Omnitrix, Azmuth."

"Of course Ben. Just be more careful with the Omnitrix in the future," Azmuth said as he waved goodbye, the young hero slowly making his way to the teleporter pad.

"What's your hurry Ben? You act as if you really need to be somewhere," Myaxx asked curiously.

"Oh, I just promised Grandpa Max that I'd go back to Bellwood for the weekend and visit my folks. So I just want to get back to the Tower and get my things packed," Ben replied as he began setting the coordinates for Titans Tower.

"Will you be taking your new girlfriend with you?" Myaxx asked, goading Ben with a sly smile. Ben blushed wildly, his cheeks turning beet red as a sweat drop appeared next to his head.

"She's not my girlfriend…at least…not yet," Ben replied sheepishly.

"Oh, so you are interested in the young Tamaranean female then?" Azmuth asked, also slightly curious.

"Well, yeah…sorta," Ben sighed a bit more as Azmuth and Myaxx just stared at him, each with a smile on their face. "Look, I really do like her and all, but I want to make sure that she feels the exact same way about me," Ben replied in a more reassured tone. "The last time she showed me any true affection was when she went through her Tamaranean heat cycle. Since then she just does the occasional flirting once every few days."

"Well, maybe she's been dropping you signals the whole time and you're just too thick headed to realize it," Myaxx quipped which got her a small chuckle from Azmuth.

"That could be a possibility," Ben added.

"Ben, just ask her out. You never know, she might be waiting for you to sweep her off her feet," Myaxx said as she walked up to Ben and placed a hand on his shoulder. "There's something about you that she seems to like. So just ask her."

Ben thought about it for a moment and then looked up at his old friend and nodded. "Sure, I'll give it a shot." Ben then went on to finish typing in the coordinates and was about to teleport back to Earth before he stalled the transfer. "Wait, Azmuth, I got a question for you."

"Yes, what is it?"

"It's about the DNA scanning ability of the Omnitrix. I've been in contact with Komi, Starfire, Superman and even J'onn J'onzz but none of them have set it off yet. You wouldn't happen to know why, would you?"

"That's because I put a block on that function for the time being."

"You did? Why?" Ben asked

"Because, I'm currently doing some system upgrades on Primus and I don't want to chance a system overload because of you acquiring new alien DNA samples. But don't worry, once Eunice and I finish the work on updating Primus, I'll call you back here and reactivate the DNA acquisition program on the Omnitrix," Azmuth said, doing his best to reassure Ben.

"Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense," Ben replied as he stepped back onto the teleporter platform. But before he could restart the sequence Azmuth stepped forward.

"Now I have a question for you." Ben looked at the creator of the Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix core unit and wondered what he wanted to ask him. "Do you remember when you came to me three years ago and asked me to place an energy aura around your solar system, causing the memories that everyone on your home planet had of you to be locked away? That is with the exception of your family and closest friends and also the Plumbers."

"Yes, I do," Ben replied. He knew where this was going and he knew that the time had come.

"Well, since you've gotten back into being a hero again, I want to know if you would like me to remove the energy aura. If so, then all their memories of you would be restored. Both the good…and the bad."

Ben thought about it for a moment and he made sure he thought real hard on his decision. After taking a moment he looked back down at Azmuth and lightly nodded. "Please, I think I've had enough time to mature so I should be ready now to take in what everyone on Earth thinks of me." Azmuth let a small smile cross his face

"That, Ben Tennyson, is the correct answer." Azmuth and Myaxx both then turned around and walked away as the teleporter started back up, Ben's body slowly being covered in white light. "Don't worry, by tomorrow morning the energy aura will be gone and everyone's memories should be restored. Make sure to say hello to Max for me."

"Will do. And Azmuth…" Azmuth looked back and saw a small smile on Ben's face. "…thanks." With that Ben was instantly teleported off of Galvin Prime and back to Titans Tower.

"You are most welcome…Ben Tennyson."


(Titans Tower)

Inside the Common Room of Titans Tower, both Cyborg and Beast Boy sat on the couch while playing a racing game on the game station. Beast Boy was driving around like a maniac in a green and purple car while Cyborg drove around a white car with a single blue racing stripe down the center. The young changeling was getting irritated at all of his efforts to pass Cyborg who wore nothing but a big smile on his face while watching his small friend lose the race.

"You think you're gonna pass me. But you can't pass me. There's no way you can—" Cyborg stopped and quickly frowned as Beast Boy's frown turned into a smile. "Hey, you just passed me."

As the two friends continued their game Raven sat at the other end of the couch, reading a new horror book which she had recently purchased. As she read her book both Starfire and Robin were in the kitchen, the two of them making the final preparations for dinner.

"Star, could you get the plates out?" Robin asked as he opened the oven and pulled out a big honey glazed ham.

"Of course Robin," Starfire said sweetly as she smiled brightly at her beloved.

Watching them from the kitchen table, Blackfire sat there with a small hint of jealousy for her younger sister. 'Damn it. Just look at those two. They're always so lovey-dovey and yet here I am, doing my best and pulling out nearly all of my clean flirting techniques out of my bag of tricks, and yet I still can't get Ben to notice me in the same way.' Blackfire let out a small sigh as she laid her head down on her arms. As she was about to get up and head over to the couch to watch dumb and dumber finish playing their little video game the towers alarm systems started to sound off.

"What the heck?" Beast Boy said as both his and Cyborg's cars crashed at the same time, causing the game to end in a draw. They looked around until the Titans Tower security system activated.

"Incoming teleportation from the planet, Galvin Prime – Mark II," the security system announced. Everyone looked around and in an instant a beam of light appeared in front of the TV, scaring the heck out of Beast Boy.

The others watched the light as it began to form into the body of a person. After a moment the light faded away to reveal the form of Ben who just let out a content sigh and then looked around to see everyone looking at him.

"What, did I do something wrong?" Ben asked.

The others remembered that Ben had gone to see Azmuth and they all soon returned back to normal as Blackfire immediately flew from her place at the kitchen table and landed in front of Ben. "Hey Ben, so how did your check up go back on Galvin?"

Just as Ben was about to open his mouth and speak, the Tower's alarm system activated once more. This time they alarm only blared for a few seconds until the defining sound stopped and was replaced by the TV screen changing from the game that BB and Cyborg were playing to show the face of the Green Lantern. The Titans looked at Green Lantern and he looked back at them and noticed that Ben had returned to the Tower.

"Ben, glad to see you back on Earth so soon. I assume everything went well on Galvin?"

"More or less. My physical condition is fine but Azmuth wants me to refrain from using Omnicron for the next week. I'll tell you why later," Ben replied as he tapped his finger on the side of the Omnitrix, letting John know that Ben would be giving them the full story soon.

"Actually, you can tell us everything once you get here. And I mean everything." Ben made a gulping sound as he didn't like the way John had said that last part of his sentence.

"Sorry, I don't quite follow. Did I do something wrong?" Ben asked with some concern in his voice.

"That remains to be seen." John brought up his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose as he let out a sigh. "Look, just come up to the Watchtower for now as there's something we need to talk about…now."

Ben realized how serious John was as he listened to the tone in his voice. He knew something was up and it concerned him but he didn't know what. Looking back at the others he gave them a slight nod. "I'll be back soon guys so make sure to save me some dinner."

"Sure thing, see ya when ya get back," Cyborg said, assuring Ben that there would still be some food left for him when he returned.

With that Ben headed over to the window and opened it up and then brought up his arm and then popped up the dial on the Omnitrix, his hand slowly shifting through his accessible forms until he found the one he wanted. With a quick slap on the dial, pressing the device back down, Ben's body was once again covered in the familiar green light of the Omnitrix. After a few seconds the light faded away and left in Ben's place was a red alien being that looked something like a bipedal manta ray with two long yellow horn-like protrusions above its eyes, the Omnitrix symbol resting on its chest.

"Jetray!" Ben shouted out in his Jetray form.


Jetray is an Aerophibian (a play on "aero" for air and "amphibian") from the planet Aeropela. Jetray is a manta ray-like alien capable of flying and swimming faster than the speed of sound. He can fire neuroshock blasts from his eyes and tail, and the stingers on his head carry a powerful poison. When flying in space he can reach speeds that can accelerate him into hyperspace.


Jetray, turning around and giving the others a quick wave, quickly leapt out the window and flew off into the sky. He quickly shot himself upwards and soon found himself in the vastness of space, his course set for the Justice Leagues' Watchtower. After only taking a few moments to reach his destination, Jetray entered the tower through one of the opened Javelin bays. The young hero flew over to a pad and waited for the bay doors to close before shifting from his alien form and back into his human form.

Making his way to the elevator, Ben pressed the button that would take him to the private conference room where only the League Founders were allowed in. Entering the elevator, Ben thought about what the League wanted to discuss with him. After a few seconds the elevator came to a stop and opened up to an empty hallway. Looking in both directions he soon made his way out and went down the hallway and only made it a few feet before noticing Vigilante and Shinning Knight having a small discussion.

Giving them a small nod which they returned, he continued on his way until he came to the conference room doors. Pressing the button on the side, the door opened up and upon entering the room Ben noticed all seven of the founding League members sitting at their table, each one of them looking at him with stern glares. Ben let out a small gulp as all the looks they were giving him made him nervous. Whatever it was they knew Ben was determined to get out of this unscathed.

"Okay, what did I do this time? If this about that dent I put in the holo-chambers' wall then you know that was an accident. The Flash set the setting up to maximum," Ben began until he saw Batman lift up his hand, motioning Ben to be silent.

"It's not about that Ben. We already know that that was an accident," Diana said, wanting to reassure the young hero. Ben looked them over and had to admit that, now, he was completely confused.

"Okay, so then why did you need me to come here?" The others looked at Batman who looked at Ben with glaring eyes. The Dark Knight leaned forward slowly, making sure that Ben was paying attention to him.

"We need to talk," Batman said in a monotone voice. Ben just let out a sigh as he suddenly got a feeling he knew what they wanted to talk about.


Toku Warrior: Well, this was a short chapter. It was mostly meant to show why no one remembered Ben 10 in the first place. Looks like Ben's got some explaining to do. Wonder how the League and the Titans will take this new bit of information. Well, the next chapter is Ben taking Blackfire and a couple of the Titans back with him to Bellwood to visit his folks. I can guarantee that Will Harangue will be seen in this chapter as well. Oh, and looky-looky, a new OP theme to start off this new set of mini arcs.

It seems that everyone who reviewed the last chapter really let me know who they want to see appear in the next one. So, the villains for the next chapter will be Aggregor (with 3 votes) and Hex (with 2 votes). The Forever Knights had 2 votes as well so they'll appear in ch.14. This next chapter though should be a mini-arc that last only 3 chapters, max. So both villains and the evil group of knights should be seen. I might even make it to where Shinning Knight and Vigilante get some screen time as well.

Well, as for this chapter, let me know how it was. As always, please R&R. This is Toku Warrior signing off.
