The Null Fairy

by Emiyn

What happens when something different happens in the finale of Ben 10 season 2? Ben sacrifices himself to allow Gwen back into the real world, leaving himself trapped in the Null Void. After staying in there, an incident occurs that transports Ben into an alternate world. Alternate ending Ben! BenxWendy later introduced in the story. Edit: Now in the Tenrou Island Arc!

38. Fun Times Ahead!

Whelp, here we go everyone! I can't believe this story's come this far! You've all have come along with me on this great adventure!

So, welcome back to the Null Fairy. A little late-ish on the upload, but be founded by the length of this here chapter! Let's see what you guys have to say first though! I love it when I can do this crap!

Reader: Putting Ben in a trapped state like during the Con of Rath? Hmm, a plausible idea, but I'll think about it later on. Thanks for your review though!

Mega float guest: I'm agreeing with you on the multi-dimension thing, but giving Ben some form of magic is still a lingering thought in my mind. I'm not thinking of giving him overpowered crap, but still some magic regardless. Alternate Bens, I'm really thinking about making one for the Edolas Arc, but I'll ask everyone to think about it then.

Isaiah: Been doing good, yep. Thanks for the continued support.

Rick, now as Nexus240: I feel obliged to be the first user of your reviewing! Concerning Skurd, would it make much sense for him to find a way into an alternate universe though? I LOVE the idea of making an armor set like Copen's. The designs in Azure Striker are some of the best that I've ever seen!

Ben 10.000: Eh. Perhaps later, and I mean a couple Arcs later into the story. Possibly, just to say. Ben's already pretty OP as he is. Thanks for the review!

Mika Mina poopoo: Another cool idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

Traveler-who: Thanks for all your suggestions! I may implement some of them!

Anyhow, now that that's all done, let's get to the story! This a three parter, starting from episode 73 to episode 75 of the anime! I hope you all enjoy this!

And as always, I own nothing related to the subject of Ben 10 nor Fairy Tail. Please support the official releases, and happy reading to you all! Thank you all for over 750 Reviews, and over 120k views! 300k word count breakthrough! This is again the longest chapter; 15k words this time!

Chapter 38: Fun Times Ahead!

…

Part 1: The Rainbow Sakura!

As the Daphne incident passed through Magnolia Town, a bit of time passed without life-threatening events, giving way to a new thing as repairs finished up once again. Now, the annual celebration for Magnolia's cherry blossom/Hanabi season came to visit.

Inside the Fairy Tail Guild Hall, and along with many of its other members, Makarov took some time to lecture his children about what it meant to be a guild member, and how always council a situation. And then…

"And with such sayings, I'm proud to say that all of you have done a fine job this year!"

Makarov then held his hand in the signature posture, with everyone else following up in response as they roared. He then folded his arms, grinning.

"And now, as a reward for all of that hard, tomorrow is finally the day that our beautiful flower appreciation day comes! The one and only thing that we've all been looking forward to once more!" He snickered.

Once again, everyone cheered. "Now then, let's have a pre-celebration to kick things off!" Makarov proposed.

"Everyone! Please try to keep the situation under control! This is only a pre-celebration!" The white head then tried to convince everyone to take down a notch, and not cause a stampede.

"Bah! Who says we can't drink to our hearts just because it's before the flower appreciation?!" Cana barked as she slurped up a barrel of beer.

"Flower appreciation is for manly men!" Elfman yelled out. Apparently, some of the members were excited for some kind of event.

"Dad! Let's go for the gold this time in the Bingo game!" A child said to Macao. It was revealed to be Romeo, his son. Macao gave him a thumbs up. "Leave it to me!"

"He said that the last and last times though…" Levy chuckled sarcastically, and then sat up. "Alright, I'll try my best in this year's Bingo too!"

"Wait, what's this all about again?" Gajeel muttered with a confused tone. "Isn't this just for the Hanabi?" Neb then glanced back. "And that kinda sucks too. Our clients know that Fairy Tail takes a break for this, so there's a lack of jobs."

"Well, you should take one too, ya know…" Neb sweat dropped at that remark. Gajeel then glanced over to Juvia, who was colorless.

"What's wrong, Juvia?" He asked the water mage. Juvia was crying out tears of sadness as she wiggled her fingers. "Gray-sama and Ben-kun are out for a job!" She sniffled. "It's so lonely without them…"

The iron mage simply sweat dropped, and decided to try and drop the subject. Neb walked back. "Well, it can't be helped. Gray's on Natsu's team, and they usually drag Ben with them."

"But they also took Wendy-chan and Carla with them as well!" Juvia added to her complaint.

"I suppose they're trying to get familiar with how we do things around here then, I guess. They still just came from Cait Shelter, after all." Neb guessed with a shrug. Juvia continued to cry out regardless, giving the guild another flood of tears! Ben would have to dry the entire place out, and who knows how long that would take. The guild was pretty damn big after all...

…

"ACHOO!"

Wendy sneezed as she and the others continued to walk. For those catching up, the group was now back at Mt. Hakobe, the mountain which Lucy went with Natsu for her first job.

"You ok, Wendy?" Ben, now as NRG, asked. The blue head nodded.

Lucy and Wendy were unprepared for Mt. Hakobe's ruthless terrain. Wendy was dressed in a one piece dress of light red with cyan green accents, while Lucy was wearing her usual blue and white outfit.

While the latter had an excuse to not dress properly, Lucy forgot, and was forced to use Horologium to travel through the thick snow. Truth be told, Virgo actually came by to deliver a holster and fur bag for Wendy to rest in.

It was made once Wendy was starting to shiver. Coming from the Gate out of her own will once more, as she greeted Ben, who was still in his human form at the time, she decided to find a way to keep her warm. Although the blue haired Dragon Slayer was slightly flustered by the sack that she would have to sit in, she was in total bliss once she was inside. Since NRG's containment suit lowered the radiation levels to near non-existent amounts, the metal body felt more like a warm heater, much to the petite girl's enjoyment as she snuggled into a comfortable position.

Erza, Natsu, and of course, Gray, were seemingly unaffected. Happy and Carla seemed to be okay, since they had fur.

"This snow is hard to walk through in…" Gray clicked his tongue. NRG sighed. "Gray. Clothes." Wendy and Carla continued to be surprised by Gray's sudden stripping, especially in places like Mt. Hakobe.

"Hey, Natsu. Do ya really think such an herb exists here?" Happy asked his partner. Natsu gruffed. "Since the request says it does, I guess it has to."

"True, but it says that if you brew it into tea, or mix it up with a cake, it's said to make your magic stronger for a temporary amount of time." Happy noted in response. Erza drooled a little from the word 'cake'.

She then flinched, taking a moment to wipe her mouth. "Ignoring the supposed benefits, our job is still one thing: to gather those herbs from this mountain. We should probably get some for tomorrow's Bingo game."

"Bingo?" Wendy, NRG, and Carla asked the red head. As they continued to walk, she began to explain it to them. She eventually got to the best part, in which the petals of the cherry blossom turn into a beautiful rainbow color.

She, as the rest of the town dubbed it, the "Rainbow Sakura".

"Rainbow-colored cherry blossoms?! It looks so pretty, even in my imagination!" Wendy squealed. Lucy agreed with a whole hearted smile.

"…I wonder if there's a scientific explanation for it though…" NRG mumbled, earning a couple of sweat drops from all the girls.

Eventually reaching some of the ice caves, the team encountered a bunch of Mt. Hokabe Vulcans. NRG and Horologium were currently taking care of Wendy and Lucy, so it was up for Natsu, Erza, and Gray to do the heavy lifting in the meanwhile.

But of course, they defeated them easily. As Natsu tried to interrogate the beasts, Lucy started to have some wonderful delusions for what she would do after this job was over, prompting the Prypiatosian-B to try and quiet her down.

"Still, I'm looking forward to this very much!" Wendy smiled. NRG smiled underneath his suit in agreement, along with Lucy. "Yeah! And since we're all first timers, let's all have fun together!" The blonde suggested.

"Ah. Time is up."

Horologium then vanished, leaving Lucy to shiver in the cold. Erza then growled at the three. "The three of you should help out as well!"

Natsu then got a scent, sniffing the air for a bit. "Ah, I can smell it! That's definitely the smell of a medicinal plant!" He grinned. Happy and Carla flew over to her.

"Still the impressive nose as usual." Happy commentated. Carla rose an eyebrow. "Do you know what the plant smells like?"

"Nope, but I'm pretty sure about it!" Natsu replied. He then started to run off, leaving everyone behind. "LET'S GO, HAPPY!"

"Aye sir!"

NRG and Gray sighed as everyone watched him go off. "Sheesh, that guy…"

"We should follow him, regardless. His sense of smell is still reliable." Erza suggested. Lucy then tried to get into Wendy's sack, though she was too big to do so, much to her sadness.

"I have a bad feeling about this…" Carla narrowed her eyes. Wendy nodded. "Carla's usually right about things like that."

The six then ran after the Dragon Slayer, eventually having to walk up a slope. A few minutes or so later, they reached the top to see a victorious looking Natsu in front of some plants.

"Aha! Found them!" Natsu roared.

"That was fast…" Gray noted. They then caught up with Natsu and Happy as they started to pick some of the plants up.

"Now then, let's pick these babies and go—"

"ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!"

"Ale?" He and Happy looked up. NRG and others did too, viewing the massive figure of a Blizzardvern, a mountain variant of a Wyvern that was white and gray in appearance. It flapped its massive wings, blowing the two away a fair distance.

"Oh, a Blizzardvern. If I recall, they're herbivores." NRG explained. Natsu growled in response. "And I guess those things are its favorite food?!" NRG nodded. "Then it's trying to keep them all to itself!" Happy retorted with a shocked expression. Gray then started to generate ice in his hands.

"Then let's take it down! Blizzardvern scales catch a hefty price on the market, after all!" The ice mage grinned. Natsu then started to grin as well, lighting his fists on fire. "Perfect! Then let's snatch both of these bounties!"

"Ben, distract the Blizzardvern! Lucy, Carla, the rest of you should stay back." Erza flashed to her Lightning Empress Set. "As Ben starts to take the blunt hits, we'll go and damage it. You'll find a chance to go get the plants."

"Yes, Erza-san!" Wendy nodded, slipping out of her fur sack. NRG sweat dropped. "Why am I suddenly the meat…I mean, metal shield for…?" He then took off the holster, setting it down next to him.

"Wait… Isn't this the most dangerous position…" Lucy mumbled. Erza then gave the blonde a cold stare. "Nevermind!"

"Now then… Ben, go!" Erza commanded as she pointed at the Blizzardvern. NRG sighed, before jumping in front of the big lizard. "Hey, over here!" NRG shot out a blast of radiation. The big lizard managed to dodge by jumping to its side.

The Blizzardvern flew up, and then lunged its claws down towards the metal alien. As NRG blocked it with his arms, he pushed it back into the air. As it regained its balance, it then started to rapidly flap its wings.

"My turn!" Natsu yelped as he jumped into the air. He then generated a large fireball in his hands as he glared at the large creature.

"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Throwing it in the Blizzardvern's direction, the air pressure that it exerted caused the attack to fly over to Wendy and the others, who were nearly roasted by it.

Gray then generated an ice blue circle, stopping a fair distance away before activating his spell.

"Ice Make: Saucer!" Creating a saw blade made of ice, it first rode on the snow, before leaping into the air and towards the Blizzardvern. To NRG's annoyance, it flew back, landing right in front of Lucy, whose eyeballs practically popped out because of how close it landed.

Erza then leaped up, aiming her lance at the beast. Flickering a red circle, she shot out a few bolts of blue electricity. To her surprise though, the Blizzardvern quickly flew out of the way, leaving NRG and the others in its path instead.

"Ah crap!" Natsu and Gray then dropped to the side. NRG turned around, only to see the bolts coming right at him. "What?!"

"Ben, look out!" Wendy yelled out to him. Unfortunately, it was too late, and NRG was electrocuted by the magic. The metal alien then fell to the ground, grumbling in pain.

"Well…that's…one weakness for NRG, I guess." He deadpanned from within his suit. Erza gasped in response, concerned for Ben's condition, before being forced to defend herself from the Blizarrdvern's claws. Bouncing off her generated shield of electricity, it charged at Gray.

NRG took a moment to get up, rubbing his head in discomfort. Turning back to the white lizard, he watched as Gray started to freeze the leg he was holding.

"Natsu, Erza, Ben, now's the time!" Gray yelled.

"Right!" Natsu and Erza acknowledged him. Erza released another set of bolts, while Natsu slammed a fire fist on its head. NRG then shot a large dose of radiation at its chin.

"AH! Got it!" Lucy and Wendy cheered. But then…

*Ruuuuumble* *Ruuuuuuuuuuuumble*

Turning around, their jaws dropped. "An avalanche?!" They yelled in shock.

Happy and Carla flew over to pick Wendy up, leaving Lucy and the others to fend for themselves. NRG tapped the Omnitrix dial as Natsu and the others rode on the fallen Blizzardvern.

As the massive amount of snow ended, Gray and Erza stood up. "Everyone, are you all okay?" She asked, looking around for everyone's presence. Natsu was seen on the Blizzardvern, which was enough for his motion sickness to kick in.

"Well, that was probably expected." Gray shrugged. Wendy and the cats watched from above. "Hey, where's Ben?" The blue cat wondered.

The group then started to search for the brown headed boy. Eventually, as they started to look around, a flash of green caught their eyes. Heatblast shot a burst of flames, but he started to sink, as his flame body was starting to melt the snow. Lucy was also recovered, and with a bunch of the herbs in hand, but…

…

The next day…

It was now the day of Hanabi. As expected, the town of Magnolia was expected to be one of wondrous celebration, however, at a certain blonde's apartment…

"Achoo…!" Lucy sneezed. Natsu and Happy stood in front of her. "You're not going, Lucy?"

"The cherry blossoms in Magnolia are reeeaaal pretty, you know!" Happy added. Lucy sniffled. "Well, I want to go, but…" Unfortunately for her, she got a cold. As the two left, they felt sympathetic for the stellar mage. Lucy cursed herself for forgetting to dress appropriately for that Mt. Hakobe mission…

---

…

And then!

"Eh? She got a cold?" Gray blinked as he took a sip from his cup. Juvia looked over to the fire mage. "Is it bad?"

"Yeah…" Natsu nodded. "Her face was all flushed, and she was sneezing all over the place." Happy confirmed.

"And she was looking so forward to this…" Wendy mumbled. Erza folded her arms. "Wait, why did she catch a cold for?"

"You really ought to know…" Ben and Carla sweat dropped at the redhead's obliviousness. As they continued to discuss the condition of Lucy, Happy suddenly got an idea. "Oh, I know!" The cat then turned to Wendy, who was sitting next to Ben. "Wendy can use her magic to heal her, right?" Wendy smiled. "Well…"

"Wendy already did." Ben answered for her. "I also used some seeds from Wildvine and Swampfire to help her cold even further." Wendy nodded to add to his proof. "Lucy-san should be better by tomorrow."

"Ah, tomorrow, huh…" Happy murmured as he bit into a fish. As the rest of the guild sat under the falling cherry blossoms, from atop a platform, Mira request for everyone's attention.

"Okay everyone! It's time for our annual Hanabi Bingo competition!" She yelled out to everyone. She then took out a Bingo sheet, with everyone starting to cheer as they stood up and walked closer to the front. Makarov grinned, pointing to a spin wheel.

"We've got a grand lineup of prizes for you all this year as well!" He promised. "Give it your all, and maybe you'll win one of them!"

The guild members then took a bit of time to each get a Bingo slip. Ben and Wendy looked at the slips of paper with expressions of surprise. "Bingo, huh… I haven't played this since…forever!"

"Oh, really? I…actually don't have much experience with this, to be honest." Wendy giggled sheepishly. Ben understood why she said that. "Well, then let's use this time for the both of us to catch up then."

"Okay then, is everyone ready?" Mira called out to the crowd. Everyone then responded with Happy's signature "Aye sir!". Mira then instructed everyone to open the slot in the middle. Ben and Wendy looked around. They could tell that everyone was excited for this, so that encouraged them to use this event to its fullest.

"Okay then, let's Bingo!" Mira gestured to the spin wheel. "Let's go for the first spin!" Makarov smiled, activating a lacrima. It then caused the wheel to spin, gaining speed for a few seconds, before landing on the number…

"24!"

"Yeah! First number!" Cana grinned as she pushed her finger into another hole. The slot machine span again, revealing the number…

"5!"

"Hell yeah, it's a man!" Elfman roared. Ben was grumbling, because so far, he was getting none of them. As the competition continued to go on, more and more of the other members started to fill in their slots. Wendy patted him on the back, as she was starting to get some herself.

"BINGOOOOOOO!" Erza suddenly yelled. She then lifted her card up, revealing a left diagonal of 5 slots. Mira then rang a bell. "And Erza's our first winner!"

Joyously running up to the front, Erza had a look of anticipation on her face. "S-So… What do I win?" Mira giggled, before taking out a mass of grass, to which all the members of Team Natsu recognized.

"That's…" Gray chuckled. Ben and Wendy laughed a little as Erza deadpanned. "What the hell?! That's the herb that we just got from Mt. Hokabe!"

She then noticed a dreadful stench derived from it. It seemed to be a little worse than Swampfire's. "And it's wilted already!"

"Whelp, guess it's because of the sudden exposure to a different environment." Makarov shrugged with a goofy grin. Erza fell to her knees in comical despair.

"Okay then, next number!" Mira announced. The slot wheel spun again, revealing the number…

"68!"

"Alright! Bingo!" Cana stood up with a victorious grin. Macao and Ben barked at her. "What the hell, I didn't even get one!" Wakaba chuckled. "Guess you guys don't have what it takes!"

"Urgh, just two more…" Carla sweat dropped. Ben laid on the mat. "At least you guys have some…" Wendy chuckled a little while looking at her own Bingo sheet. She had four of them so far, while Carla had three.

Happy sighed. "The prizes are disappearing really fast… I was hoping to get one for Lucy as a present." He said. Ben glanced at him with a curious expression. "If only, huh?"

" Bring me 115!"

"BINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Levy, Wendy, Juvia, and Elfman roared. As Ben was just about sit up, he quickly fell back down due to Wendy's ferocious announcement. Gray clicks his tongue. "Craptastic…"

"Four at the same time, ho ho!" Makarov chuckled. "Alright then, let's see who gets the prize by have a short impromptu performance?" He then suggested.

"Eh?!" All of them darted their heads to the old man. Mira then held to tickets up. "The prize for this is an amazing three days and two nights for two at the luxurious Akane Resort!"

"Oho…" Levy blushed a little in response. Jet and Droy seemed to be going crazy for the offer, probably because they could possibly have a chance to be alone with the Letter Mage.

"Akane Resort?! I'll get it as a manly present for Sis then!" Elfman clenched his fists in excitement. Juvia and Wendy were blushing furiously at the mentioning.

"That means I can be alone with Gray-sama for three days and two nights…" She drooled in delight. Wendy held her cheeks, with a little steam rolling off from her head. "Three days, two nights… Maybe…"

Glancing at Ben, the Omnitrix wielder blushed in response. He knew what the Dragon Slayer was thinking, but he wasn't exactly imposed to the idea of going to the Resort with her.

'Then, will it be a…d-date?!' The two of them thought. Ben then rose an eyebrow. "Oh, that means they finally finished the repairs…"

---

…

A little while later, now in the middle of sunset!

"I can't believe you actually won it, Wendy…" Carla was astounded. Wendy was blushing immensely due to embarrassment, now using this opportunity to get a lap pillow from Ben. As he patted her head, Erza was seen trying to restrain herself from interrupting them.

"They really luvvvvvv each other!" Happy rolled his tongue. Ben was tempted to shoot the cat with one of the Blue Waves, but he couldn't exactly deny it either. He turned his eyes to see Juvia crying her eyes out to Gray in a comical fashion.

"I'm so sorry, Gray-samaaaaaaaa…" Gray sweat dropped.

A little prior to this, as promised, the four winners had to perform an impromptu performance.

Naturally, Elfman tried to show his manliness, but that just ended up scaring a bunch of the populace as a result of using his Take-Over forms. Levy wasn't sure what would count as a good subject, so she tried to do a puppet show, with the puppets made from her magic.

Juvia of course was just filled with the desire to be Gray's girl, so she shamelessly made a water float with Gray's face, exaggerated details and any. Gray ended up doing a spit take in response, which caused a major shock to Juvia's eyes. The water construct ended up soaking a whole bunch of people, so that was out of the count.

And finally, it was Wendy's turn. Just like Levy, she wasn't about what to do. Thinking for a moment, she then got an idea. Smiling, she waved her arms about, generating a few magic circles in the air.

Beginning to dance, the circles lit up, generating swirls of winds that glowed different colors. Ben's mouth went agape as he and the crowd watched her extravagant performance. Carla snickered, taking a picture of the youth's breathless expression. She would eventually use this to her advantage.

After she continued to dance for a few more minutes, Wendy finished, posing in front of the crowd. She was sweating a little, but nonetheless, she received a humungous applause. Mira and Makarov glanced at each other, determining the winner right then and there.

"That was quite the performance though." Levy giggled. Wendy covered her eyes. "Noooo… Please stop mentioning that! It was so embarrassing…"

Ben smiled down at the petite girl while continuing to stroke her head. "That was pretty cute though." Wendy then pouted, sitting up and starting to playfully hit Ben's chest with her arms.

Natsu watched the scene with a quite look. He then got an idea…

---

…

Night time…

"Ugh… What's with all the commotion?" Lucy grumbled as she got off from her bed. Opening the windows, her eyes flickered open, devastatingly surprised by what she was seeing.

"That's…how?!" Her eyes then followed the path of a dazzling rainbow of colors. In front of her eyes, was the legendary Rainbow Sakura, and in a giant pot for some reason! It was riding on the waterway that was in front of her apartment.

And not just her, all of the passerby were also caught by the awe-inspiring colors of the tree. As the blossoms fell to the ground, Lucy sighed, smiling as she continued to watch the tree of colors pass by…

---

…

And then! The next morning!

"Ah, you're well already?" Natsu turned to Lucy. The blonde took up a chair and sat next to him. "Yep! Never felt better! Wendy's magic and Ben's aliens helped me out a lot!"

"I'm glad, Lucy-san!" Wendy clapped her hands together. Ben swallowed a piece of bread. "Good for you, Lucy."

Suddenly, Makarov crashed through the doorway, clearly angered as he stomped on the wooden floor. "Okay, who's the damn dimwit who uprooted the town's treasured cherry blossom tree?!"

Suddenly, Natsu, Happy, and to a point, Ben shuddered. Makarov stepped down the stairs with Erza following him. "The major is absolutely livid! Whoever did, I can't save you this time for God's sake!

"Ah crap…!" Natsu and Happy backed up. Ben whistled a little as he continued to eat. Wendy flicked his forehead in response, earning herself a whimper from the youth, before wincing a little from Wendy's pinching of his cheek.

"That guy…" Gray sighed. Juvia observed his body. "Erm, Gray-sama. Clothes."

As Natsu and Happy tried to run away, Lucy grabbed the two. "Thanks, you guys!" Erza and Makarov started to run down, beginning their assault on the pair… Ben would take a picture of this, to register a new memory for the guild!

End of Part 1!

…

Part 2: Wendy's First Big Mission!

Returning from another mission, Wendy and Carla entered the Guild Hall. Approaching the request board again, the two began another search. Wendy was now wearing an orange one piece dress, and had her hair done in twintails, with her bangs hanging off. Her hairclips resembled cat ears.

"Meh, none of these look good…" Carla huffed. As they continued to look, Mira came to welcome them back.

"Ah, back already? You two are getting used to the work, I see!" The white head smiled to their now experienced selves. Carla turned around.

"You can say that, but so far she's only taken care of simple jobs that are located in town!" The cat blew Wendy's cover. "Hey, Carla!"

"Well, doing small jobs is good for the experience, so that's a good start at least." Mira started. Footsteps were then heard behind herself, with Natsu and Gray walking together.

"But, shouldn't you try to do some bigger jobs soon?" Natsu suggested. Gray nodded. "Yeah, probably from a distant town at least."

"True… I want to be able to do bigger jobs, and be of help to everyone!" Wendy smiled fiercely. A bunch of the other members smiled at her sincerity.

"Be a help to everyone, eh?" Max smiled. Cana grinned. "So honest with herself, you just can't help but cheer on that brave hearted little soul of hers, compared to some other kid…"

Regarding another youth, as if jinxing the situation, Ben came crashing down from the ceiling, yelling as he flew down. "Incoming!"

Landing in front of everyone, he cursed a little as he laid on the floor. "Grr… Have to work on the energy capacity…" He held up a small device, which had a light green glow to it. The light then dimmed down as a result of power lost.

"Ben!" Wendy crouched down next to him. "You okay?"

"Oh, Wendy…" He slowly got up, rubbing his neck in discomfort. "Yeah, just another failed test run for this thing…" He said as he showed her the device he was carrying.

"So, what're you working on this time?" Mira asked him. Ben turned to face the Strauss. "A multi-functional weapon!" Holding it out, after a few seconds, the middle of the device glowed green again.

"It can be powered by both lacrimas and solar energy. I already designed it to have a melee form, shield form, grappling hook, as well as some other functions, but…just…can't get the darn blaster function to work…" He grumbled. A bunch of the members ended up sweat dropping in response.

"So, what's up?" Ben asked, now putting away the device. Mira then came up to them, holding a paper. "I have the perfect job for you, Wendy-chan."

"Oh, what is it?" Wendy turned around. Mira smiled at her. "It says that they're looking for a wizard that can heal the spirit. The reward is so-so, but I think it's pretty good?"

"That…kinda sounds suspicious." Ben admitted. He, along with Gray and Natsu came up to see. "Er, from Onibus? What kind of request is it this time?" Gray asked.

"Erm, it says "Thank you very much."." That caused all of them to flinch. Ben quickly took the paper from her. "It's from Rabian, again?!"

"Wait, oh come on!" Natsu barked. Lucy paled out. "That's where she's going to…that place?"

"The play's actors have all run away, and the performances have been a series of failures… My body and spirit are completely worn out. Please make me feel better, thank you very much. - Rabian". Ben read out. "That sounds so wrong when you read it out loud like that!"

Gray shuddered from just the mentioning of that name. "Rabian? Who's that?" Wendy asked.

"That damn head of the Scheherazade drama troupe!" Gray growled as he answered. "Who?" Happy asked, trying to remember.

"Remember that play we did?" Lucy recalled. Happy's mouth went agape. "Oh! That play called Frederick and Yanderica!" He then remembered.

Wendy was blinking, looking back and forth to everyone around her. Gray then shook his head. "Wendy, normally I don't try to say stuff like this, but don't do this one…"

"He works you to the bone!" Natsu continued to remember the harsh treatment. Ben cringed as well. "He didn't even let the guys go home, and the pay was low as crap!"

"I agree with the boy. Plus, I have a bad feeling about this." Carla looked over to Wendy. Wendy took the paper back from Ben. "Well, even if your intuition is usually right, if I can help…"

"Your good-nature's going to backfire on you eventually! And besides, you can't possibly handle going to an unknown town and try to do a big job like this on your own!" Carla tried to convince the girl.

"Yeah, tell her please, for her own sake!" Ben insisted. Wendy glared at them. "That's not true! I'll go to Onibus, and fulfill this request! Just watch me!"

"Fine then! Suit yourself!" Carla huffed. "I'm not coming with you!"

"W-Wait a minute, don't fight amongst yourselves!" Lucy tried to intervene. "Come on Carla, aren't you being a bit stingy about this? Carla merely turned her back to her, huffing again.

"I. Am. Going. On. This. Job!" Wendy declared. Ben sighed a little, with Mira gasping. "Wait, you're not thinking of going on your own, are you?"

"Yes! It'll be good experience!" Wendy answered cheerfully. Makarov then stood up from the counter.

"Wait, wait! Wendy, you've only begun to get used to how we do things around here. I can't let you go to some far-off place by your lonesome!" He then took a gulp from his mug. "Who's been there before?!"

Looking around, he eyed Happy and Ben. "Happy, Ben!" Both of them flinched. "Us…?" Wendy then grasped Ben's hands, looking at him with puppy eyes.

"Pweaassse…?" Wendy asked him with a cute tone. Ben blushed a little, before averting his gaze. "F-Fine, I'll go." She then hugged him. "Tee-hee! Thanks, Ben!" Happy had an urge to comment on that little cutsy scene, but he was too shocked to do so…

---

…

The next day!

"Okay then, we're heading out!" Wendy bowed. Ben was fumbling with his device while Happy was resting on his head. Makarov, as well some of the other members were present as they watched them go off.

"But seriously though, be careful!" Gray warned her. Cana then nudged Ben. "Make sure to keep our little princess safe, ya hear me, prince?" Ben grumbled. "I know, I know…

"Don't do anything unless it is needed to do so." Makarov advised Ben. "This is for Wendy's sake, after all." Ben sweat dropped. "Yes, Master. Though I suspect that I might have to do something eventually…"

The three then started to walk off. As the others walked off, some of them couldn't help but be worried just a bit. "Will she be okay?" Lucy wondered. "Well, Ben's got the arsenal to get them out of any sticky situation, oui." Reedus noted. "It's just a case of two kids going out by themselves…"

…

At the station!

"The train to Onibus is not running! Let me repeat: The train to Onibus is not working!"

As the trio came to the station, they overheard a train conductor yelling through a speaker. Wendy sighed. "Well, guess this is the first challenge of the day…"

Wendy was carrying her duffle bag, to which Ben assumed was quite a bit of stuff. Ben himself didn't carry much. Just the Omnitrix, the device he was working on, the Blue Waves, but not much else. And Happy had his fish.

"So, what do we do now?" Happy asked out loud.

"Let's walk to Onibus!" Wendy responded, shocking both of the males. "Wait, are you serious?! That's a really long distance!" Happy retorted. Ben face palmed. "I have a plan, because I will not walk there… Follow me."

Wondering where he was going, the two followed him. After walking for a few minutes or so, they eventually reached a cliff side. "Wait, where is this?" Happy looked down to Ben's face.

"A perfectly clear plain of trees! There's nothing that will block me from flying!" Ben nodded while smiling.

"We're going to fly there? Do you have any forms that can get us there by sundown?" Wendy asked the Omnitrix wielder. Ben then raised a finger. "I believe I do so!"

He then rolled up his sleeve, revealing the Omnitrix. "Omnitrix, initiate Life-Form Lock, Command Code 0101, Benjamin Tennyson." He commanded. The faceplate glowed. "Life-Form Command engaged. Please select an ID."

The Omnitrix's core then popped out. Ben took a moment to turn to his chosen alien, and then slammed it down. A flash of green blinded everyone, with Happy being forced to jump off and activate Aera. As it dissipated, Wendy and Happy gazed upon Ben's new form.

He was now a green, bipedal turtle-like alien with eight holes in his shell. He also had large, flipper-like arms and stumpy legs. The tips of his arms had three holes each, which could extend finger-like claws to use as fingers. His eyes were green, with the Omnitrix dial on his chest. The Fairy Tail emblem was on the edge of his carapace.

"Terraspin!" The turtle alien yelled in a sleepy tone. Wendy's eyes flickered. "Oh, that's so adorable!" She then climbed onto his back. "But wait, how can this form get us there?"

"Like this!" Terraspin said. Happy quickly got on as his head retracted into his shell. A small hatch opened, allowing him to see. His fin-like arms became triangular, and his legs combined into a similar shape.

From out of the holes in Terraspin's shell came out powerful winds, with his limbs beginning to rotate rapidly like propellers. Happy and Wendy looked over in awe as they began to fly over the forest of trees, dazzled by the view…

…

But back at the guild…

"WHAT?!"

Erza yelled. "Another request from the drama troupe?" Lucy nodded. "Yeah. I tried to stop her from going, but the master stopped me…"

"Oh, this is another wonderful opportunity!" Erza then began to practice her vocal lines, shocking the blonde. "I can understand the master's saying, but I can't help but…worry for them…" Her tone got a bit darker as she suddenly got her luggage.

"I shall go after them!" She then declared. Lucy deadpanned. "Wait, why is there even more luggage…wait, is that the dragon? Why do you have that for?"

"I took instead for my reward." Erza answered her. "I always feel enlightened when I look at this wardrobe and its props! I try to play it out by myself too!"

"Really into aren't ya…" Lucy chuckled weakly. Mira then came, running about. "Bad news! The train to Onibus isn't running!"

"I knew it! I have to go after them now!" Erza declared her resolve once more. "Lucy, Carla!"

"Yeah!" The blonde answered. Carla sighed. "If you insist…" The three left the guild, with Erza continuing to practice her vocal lines. They too would reach the forest, but wouldn't know that the other three were flying to Onibus…

---

…

"Oh, Ben! It's going to start raining soon!" Wendy sniffed the air. Happy wondered why. "Eh? On a perfectly sunny day like t—"

Immediately jinxing him, a crowd of stormy clouds came over them, causing heavy rain to come forth. Terraspin gasped as the water started to pour on his flippers. "Aw man!"

"I can sense the air currents ya know?!" Wendy stumbled as Terraspin started to descend a bit. "Anyhow, let's find some shelter!"

The Geochelone Aerio nodded, flying down into the heart of forest. As he got to ground level, Happy eventually found a cave in the corner of his eye. Pointing it and yelling out to Terraspin, the turtle alien stopped his limbs from spinning. Landing on the ground with a slight thud, Wendy and Happy quickly got off him and ran for the cave.

Terraspin then followed, holding the Omnitrix as he got in. "Omnitrix, release Life-Form Lock: Command Code 1010 - Tennyson Benjamin." Tapping the core, his body was engulfed by green light, quickly replacing Terraspin with Ben.

"Well, at least we can stay here until it stops raining…" Ben tried to wipe some water off his clothes. "You guys alright?"

"I'm good." Wendy responded. Happy took a moment to flick some water off his body. "Same." He then said, sitting down. Ben and Wendy did the same.

"Ok then, what to do for the mean time…" Ben then took his device out. Now taking a closer look, it had an oval shape to it, being color beige and green and somewhat resembling a badge. Wendy and Happy watched as Ben activated the Omnitrix, replacing himself with Grey Matter a moment later.

"So, what do you call that thing, Ben?" Happy was a bit curious, now that they were stuck. Grey Matter smirked. "Well, it doesn't have a proper title to it yet, but let's see… How about, the Omni-Tool?"

"Ohhh, that sounds nice!" Wendy nodded in agreement. As Grey Matter started to tinker with it, he soon facepalmed himself, leaving everyone to wonder why he did so.

"Ohhhhh, that's what's causing to it malfunction! I'm such an idiot!" The Galvan then took a part of the device off as he insulted himself, and started to mutter a bunch of intelligible noise that neither Wendy nor Happy could comprehend. A moment later, after a few whacks from his small arms…

"AH HAA!" Grey Matter threw his arms up. "It's done!" Pressing the Omnitrix dial on his back, he returned to Ben. "Alright, it's finished!"

"Is it finished now? Lemme see!" Happy tried to grab it. Ben quickly lifted his arm. "Wait a minute. I have to test it out first."

Rolling his right arm sleeve up, he placed the device on top of his hand. Wendy and Happy then watched as the Omni-Tool wrapped itself around his wrist, similarly to the Omnitrix, but giving the user a glove to cover their hand. Ben then stood up, aiming his hand outside the cave while holding a fist.

"Deploy, Energy Saber." Ben uttered. The green core then lit up, generating a long wrist blade made of green energy. As the youth smiled, he picked up a fairly rounded rock. Tossing it into the air, he did a slash, cutting it in half. The Dragon Slayer and car 'oohed' at the sight.

"Perfect. Retract." The blade then dissipated. "And now… Deploy, Power Gauntlet!" The Omni-Tool began to open up, wrapping around Ben's hand, and going up to its forearm like the Blue Waves.

"Oh, that's like…" Wendy noticed. Ben nodded in response. "Yeah, but this time…" He then aimed at a large boulder outside the cave. In the middle of his palm was a green circle that then lit up, before send a blast of magic power towards it blowing it up.

"Nice, gauntlet function works!" He then ordered the tool to go to normal mode. "And now, the final testing will be…" He then pressed the green core.

"Deploy, Energy Dispeller." The back of the Tool then opened up, generating a mounted blaster that wrapped itself around Ben's forearm. Aiming it at another boulder, a holographic reticle formed. Ben then aimed and fired it, launching out a steady stream of energy bullets.

Holding his arm as he did so, it created a bit of recoil as he fired. The projectiles eventually reached the boulder, destroying it with several shots. As he stopped firing, Ben extended his arm into the air.

"Yes, finally!" He grinned. Returning back to normal, Ben pressed a button, taking it off. "Well, now that it's finished…" He then grasped Wendy's hand, placing it on her palm.

"Eh?" The blue head blinked. "You're giving it to me?" Ben winked at her. "I never had a chance to properly give you a gift for when you joined the guild. Take it, it's a gift from me to you!"

"Like a wedding gift? You really do luvvvvvv her—" Wendy quickly equipped the Omni-Tool and shot Happy in the face, blushing red as she did so. Ben chuckled sarcastically. "That's all you, cat."

As Happy laid on the ground, the Omni-Tool returned to Standard Mode, in which it was simply a watch like form. Ben made sure to create an actual time function, as well as other passive uses as well.

As the three continued to go with their activities, another group was in another part of the forest, though not in the dry location of a cave, but inside a certain clock spirit. They were obviously uncomfortable with what they had, too bad for them!

---

…

A few hours later, now in the middle of sunset...

"Oh, the rain's finally let up!" Happy jumped up into the air. The three were now viewing the forest from a nearby cliff side, with a brilliant sunset shining against them.

"Yeah, but it's starting to get dark…" Wendy frowned a little. "I guess we're going to have to camp out tonight." Ben glanced back to the cave.

"Well, we can sleep in the cave, but the problem now is…" Everyone's stomach growled at the same time. "…Food."

"Augh, I wonder if there's anything to forage around here…" Happy muttered as he jumped onto Ben's head. The brown head then looked up, causing the cat to almost fall off.

"Oh, I see fish!" Ben smiled. Happy looked up, only to gasp. "Wait, Ben, don't—" Unfortunately for him, Ben already activated the Omnitrix, flashing into Gutrot. Happy landed on his rear as he and Wendy watched the chemical alien generate a dosage of gas.

"Well, there you have it, folks!" Gutrot nodded as he folded his arms. One by one, fishes with wings dropped down to the ground, with Happy sighing a little. "Ben, do you even know what those things are…?"

Gutrot shrugged. "Well, yeah. They're called Winged Fish, right? Freed told me that they come by here for their migration route. This is the season where flocks of Winged Fish come to lay their eggs at." He then pointed up to the air, watching hundreds of Winged Fish fly above them.

Wendy crouched down, picking one of them up with her hands. "Can you eat these?" She wondered. Happy frowned. "Heck no! They're really gross… I, along with the others tried them before, and we paid the price…"

"They can't be that bad, can they? Maybe it's the way you cooked them. You guys probably broiled them or something, right?" Gutrot said, reverting to Ben a moment later. He then activated the alien device, transforming into Echo Echo.

"You guys have to get creative with how you cook them!" He then split into 2 copies. They then tapped their dials, transforming into Wildvine and Swampfire. Some several minutes later, they used a splendid amount of cooking styles to create dishes for them. Both plant aliens were able to create mixtures of spices and other things, so it was enough for them to create various creations.

"And there we have it!" They then placed several dishes in front of the two. Using Wildvine's tendrils as plates, they were used to house a variety of dishes made from Winged Fish. And to be honest, the two were actually stunned by the appearance.

"That looks good, actually!" Happy and Wendy drooled a bit. The aliens took a moment to revert to Ben, before joining in with them. Ben then bowed. "Bon appetite…"

Taking what seemed to be…pizza, everyone bit into it. Ben was fine, but…

"…Oh." Wendy and Happy's faces turned blue for a moment, before walking away. "There's…some berries and nuts, right?"

"Aye…" Happy groaned as they went off. Ben seemed to be enjoying his slice, and noticed they were walking off. "Huh? Hey, this isn't bad! Guys?" The two decided that Ben's taste buds were strange. Back at the guild, a certain green haired rune mage sneezed, as if someone was speaking of him…

---

…

The next day!

"First the mountains, and now the desert…?" Happy croaked as he tried to fan himself. Despite riding on Terraspin again, he and Wendy were practically cooking.

"At least you're not using any effort. It's worse when you have to fly and suffer the sun's agonizing heat all over your carapace…" Terraspin popped his head out. Wendy chuckled a little. "Well, at least we have a breeze coming over to us…"

"A breeze like this is not what I would consider one as…" Terraspin sighed.

As the three continued to fly through the scorching hot desert, Wendy sniffed the air again. This time, she gasped. "Oh no! There's a sandstorm coming by!"

"EH?!" Both Terraspin and Happy did a spit take. From afar, a pile of sand started to swirl, creating a devastating large tornado. "Oh come on! Is there even one place that isn't piled up by random acts of destructive nature?!"

"Quick, fly away Ben!" Happy ordered. Turning around, Terraspin began to fly as fast as he could. As they began to escape the wrath of the cursed sandstorm, from afar…

"Huh?" Lucy looked up. "Hey, that's…!"

"Lucy-san?" Wendy and the others dropped to the sandy ground. Terraspin landed on the floor, tapping the Omnitrix dial a moment later. "What're you here for?"

"Well… Erza, Carla and I were trying to follow you guys, but…we have a problem right now…" She then pointed down. In a pile of quicksand was Erza, who was sinking with Virgo.

"Hello." Virgo greeted the other three, despite their problems rising. Or lowering, in this case. Wendy was happy to see Carla, who merely huffed in response.

'Tsundere…' Both Ben and Lucy thought. Turning back to Erza, Ben quickly readied the Omnitrix and slammed the core, replacing himself with Nuerolizard. Extending an arm towards her, his eyes glowed green, with Erza and Virgo's bodies doing so as well.

He then tried to use his telekinetic powers to pull them out, but he noticed that he was having some difficulty. "Ugh, why are you guys so heavy for? Erza, are you carrying something?!"

"Urk… B-But my luggage…"

"DROP IT! We can pick it up later!" Lucy barked at the red head. Crying out tears, she reluctantly let go of her carriage, with her and Virgo springing out of the sand almost immediately afterwards. As Nuerolizard let them down onto the sand, everyone turned to look at the raging sandstorm.

"Oh. I completely forgot about that." Nuerolizard rubbed his head. Wendy ran forward. "I got it!"

Running forward and stopping a few dozen meters away from the force of nature, Wendy inhaled for a few seconds, spawning a sky blue circle.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!" Releasing her attack, it took out the tornado within record time. Nuerolizard whistled for her as he reverted back to Ben.

"Wendy…" Carla was surprised by her selfless act. As the other members came to congratulate her for her efforts, Ben quickly got to building a vehicle for everyone to ride in.

"Okay, I need…" Slamming the core, everyone turned around as Echo Echo revealed himself. Pressing the dial again, he split into 5 aliens; Heatblast, NRG, Jury Rigg, Water Hazard, and an unfamiliar alien.

Having a humanoid body that had crab-like claws for hands, he had a magnetically floating metal head which levitated in an arch between his shoulders, however, it was still bonded to his body as wherever his head went. His head was metallic silver in color, and had green eyes. His body was mainly colored black and yellow, with the Omnitrix dial on his chest. The Fairy Tail emblem was on his left arch.

"Lodestar!" The newly revealed alien yelled. Aiming his pincer like arms downwards, they projected magnetic pulses into the ground. Everyone stumbled once a large amount of metallic particles rose from the ground, forming together. Heatblast and NRG shot their projectiles together, forcing the materials to come together.

As it formed into one lump of hot metal, Water Hazard cooled it off, spraying it with a dose of water. Now at a more reasonable temperature, Jury Rigg cracked his knuckles as he started to mangle with the skewed piece of metal.

"Well, I can't break this, but I can definitely make something from this!" Taking out a hammer from…somewhere, the alien gremlin started to whack the piece of material, somehow making a metal cast of a vehicle.

"There!" All of the aliens morphed back into Echo Echo, and merged back into one. Echo 1 then pressed the dial again, becoming Upgrade.

"Alright everyone, all aboard!" Splattering himself against the metal, it began to form a hovercraft. As everyone jumped onto it, Upgrade blasted off into the distance…

---

…

And finally… Onibus!

"…What."

"Hello! Hello! Thank you very muuuuuch!" Rabian peeked from the curtain way. Ben was twitching an eye as everyone else watched in disbelief.

"Wait, why's he happy for?" Happy's jaw dropped. Rabian smiled at the crowd.

"Well, I made up with my performers, so the play will be able to go on without any problems now!" He explained the situation. "Thank you very much!"

"So, went through all of that for nothing?!" Lucy was about to scream. Erza was still sobbing for her luggage. "And I went through the trouble of digging all of my props up…"

Everyone dropped to their knees in exhaustion. Ben and Wendy then notice Natsu walking towards them, but he suddenly dropped down to the floor as well. Rabian then clicked his tongue. "Hey!"

"His attitude changed!" Wendy noted. Ben growled.

"Falling asleep in front of my theatre is going to hurt my business! Hey, you there!" He then pointed to Wendy. "Get rid of these sludges! This'll be a big job, so I'll be sure to pay with you with a big reward…"

Ben finally snapped. "Sludge…eh?" He then grinned as he activated the Omnitrix. Flashing green, Pesky Dust took his place. Wendy eyed the fairy form and started to adore it greatly, until the Nemuina flew in front of Rabian.

"What do you want?!" He barked. Pesky Dust snickered as he released his dust towards Rabian, causing the short man to fall asleep. He then placed a hand on his forehead, causing the theatre owner to start screaming.

"No, no! GET THAT DIRT OFFA ME!" He yelled while snoring. Pesky Dust laughed as he flew back to Wendy. "Ha, worth it!" He then reverted back into Ben.

"What did you do to him?" Carla asked. Ben shrugged. "He called us sludges, so I put him in a dirty dream, literally."

Looking back to everyone, he sighed. "Well, so much for your first big job." Carla shook her head. "I'd say it was a success. Everyone was worried for Wendy, but in the end she proved to be useful towards them instead."

"R-Really?" Wendy looked down towards her companion.

"You've done a good job. You should be proud of yourself." Wendy was a bit unsure of herself. Ben chuckled sarcastically as he folded his arms behind his head. "Well let's get these depressed guys back home."

"Yes!" Wendy then along with him. Everyone was groaning from their tiresome situation. Wendy would remember this as her first collaborative mission with her dearest friends…but…ONWARDS!

End of Part 2!

---

…

Part 3: The 24 Hour Road Race!

"…Mira, did you seriously make these? Why am I not surprised…" Ben looked down at two pairs of uniforms. The white head giggled as he, along with Wendy and Carla looked down.

"Yep! What better type of clothing to wear for the 24 Hour Road Race?" She clapped her hands together. "Come on, you two will look so cute in them!" Wendy picked up the first part of her uniform, which was a white shirt with blue accents. "Oh, I like the material that made this!"

"Right? I can't believe I was able to get such a good deal on that as well!" Mira nodded. Ben then picked his top up, which was a long sleeved shirt with green accents. "Green and blue, huh? Trying to match us with our signature traits or something?"

Mira giggled. "Well, it can't hurt to wear them for this one occasion, right? Please?" She and Wendy then turned to him. "This kind of material is really easy to move in! Come on, Ben!" Wendy insisted.

"Okay…" Oh, just to let everyone know, the three were in the guild hall, so Ben and Wendy went to the restrooms to change. As Ben closed the door to his stall, he looked at his entire uniform once he put it on.

Along with the long sleeved top, it came with white shorts with green accents, with sneakers of the same color scheme. Black shin high socks were paired with them, which made the Omnitrix wielder frigidly remember about the time when he had to cross-dress…

Exiting from the restroom's exit, Ben came back to see Wendy with Mira. She was now wearing the matching uniform, and had her hair tied in a ponytail with her bangs hanging down. Her socks were knee high instead, compared to his.

"Oh, you two look so adorable!" Mira hugged the two of them together. Both of the youths struggled to breath within the white head's bosom, so they hurriedly tried to escape her grasp. As they did so, they sighed. "W-Well then Mira-san, we need to get going now. Jason-san is waiting for us."

"Geh, Jason…" Ben twitched an eye. Mira giggled as she walked out with them…

---

…

Now at Magnolia's starting point: Magnolia South Park!

Gathering in front of a starting point located in one of Magnolia's parks, Ben and Wendy arrived, appearing in front of Makarov. The old man was with Jason and Mira, who were acting as the commentary for this year's race.

"Cool! It's that time of the year again, folks! The grand race is here once more!" Jason yelled with his enthusiastic voice into a lacrima microphone.

"Fairy Tail's Annual All-Wizards Mandatory Participation 24 Hours Road Race!"

"I, Jason, will be providing commentary from the play-by-play! This is going straight to the Weekly Sorcerer, folks!" A small lacrima that showed the viewpoint of a lacrima camera focused onto Jet.

"And here we have our champion! The unbeatable titleholder for this grand event, Jet!" He clenched a fist. "Rumor has it that this competition is to compensate for his uselessness on missions!"

"Hey!" The speed mage barked.

"Just rumors though! Juuuussst rumors." He reassured the Shadow Gear member. Gray and Elfman turned to the speedy runner with grouchy races.

"This guy… He thinks this year's going to be a complete chore for himself again." He clicked his tongue. Natsu grinned. "This year's gonna be different though, just watch me!"

"Whenever someone says that, something always happens to that person." Gajeel retorted. Ben snickered, thinking Natsu was going to go blazing in on him. To his disappointment though, he merely smirked.

"But this time, I got's me a secret weapon!" He confirmed. Gray rolled his eyes. "Secret weapon? So childish…"

"I wonder where we're going to have to run to." Wendy tried to look above the crowd. Ben shrugged. "Doesn't matter if I can go XLR8 though."

"That's cheating though, isn't it?" Wendy rose an eyebrow. Ben then pointed to Jet. "Well, there's a guy that literally has Jet Magic, soooo…" Wendy shrugged as well, acknowledging his point.

"Everyone's really revved up, though." Lucy noted as she looked around. Happy floated next to her. "Well, no one wants to get the punishment, after all. Last year was pretty horrific if you asked me."

"Punishment?" Ben and Wendy turned their heads towards the blue cat. Interrupting them though…

"Okay everyone, quiet down!"

All the participants turned to Makarov, who was standing on a wooden platform. A floating speaker was next to him as he spoke.

"Fairy Tail wizards! A mage is created by the strength of mind, plus the conditioning of the body! I want you to utilize those factors to the maximum for this year's competition!" He encouraged.

"Do smarts really have anything to do with this?" Elfman asked. Gray nodded. "This is pretty much a contest of endurance if you ask me." Makarov ignored the two as he started to explain the rules.

"The rules are simple! Let's go over them, one at a time!" He then coughed.

"One!"

"As fast as you can from the start line, you will travel to Mt. Ivor! This year, I have left Wyvern Scales at the top of the mountain. The goal is to take one of those scales, and return in twenty-four hours! No dropouts allowed!"

"Pretty simple." Natsu grinned. Makarov then huffed a whiff of air from his nose. "However…"

"This year, I am imposing two new regulations for this year's competition, from both myself, and the urging of many."

"Well, spill the beans then!" Gray yelled out. Makarov nodded, holding out a finger.

"Rule two!"

"First, and foremost! Flying magic is forbidden from being used in this competition! Any other magic is allowed!"

"Geh…" Both Happy and Evergreen flinched from that statement. Ben was now starting to worry about the second regulation, to which Wendy and Carla were starting to assume.

"And rule three!"

"As per the request of every single person in this town, Benjamin Tennyson is not allowed to use any of his flying forms, as well as Cannonbolt. And most importantly; the use of XLR8 is forbidden!"

"WHAT?! Every person voted for that?" Ben then looked at Wendy with a look of suspicion. The blue head was whistling a little while averting her gaze. "Wendy…"

"Well, that's because it wouldn't be fair! I'm pretty sure XLR8 is faster than Jet anyways!" The Dragon Slayer and cat tried to protest against the Omnitrix. Ben tried to protest, but he then stopped, thinking of an idea.

'Well fine then… I guess I'll use him then!' He grinned.

"And of course, any person who comes in last place will suffer a punishment, harsher than any torture technique known to man!"

All the members of Fairy Tail; save Ben, Lucy, Wendy, Carla, Juvia, and Gajeel, shivered in response to Makarov's words. Macao sweat dropped.

"I swear, he's doing this because he's looking forward to ushering a punishment of his choosing, isn't he…" He sweat dropped.

"Please don't remind me, Macao…" Alzack pleaded.

"Well, as long as you don't come in last place, right?" Gajeel tried to logic it out. Erza then smirked as she walked in between the guys.

"Then what's the whole point in the competition then? I compete to win, after all." She was basically challenging the iron mage as she flashed to a running uniform. It consisted of a red top, a red and white visor with shades, and orange shorts. Ben and Wendy chuckled weakly.

"She's really going for it, ain't she…" Ben looked over to the redhead, who was now stretching. Wendy nodded. "I'm still curious about the punishment…"

"Er… I'm not going to ask why… But why?" Ben gulped. Wendy then gave him an unsettling smile, causing the youth to momentarily freeze in place.

"Okay now, it's finally time for the event of the century to start!" Jason yelled. "Everyone, to the start line!"

As everyone approached the white starting line, Jet glanced back to Levy. "Levy, watch my blazing start!" The Letter mage stuck her tongue out. "As if I have time for that!"

"He's just trying to be cool for your sake." Lucy whispered. Levy then chuckled. "No, no, Lu-chan. I don't mean it like that, I literally am saying that I couldn't watch him from the start if I wanted to…"

Lucy wondered what she meant. Interrupting her thoughts however were the starting of the countdown by Makarov.

"Ready!"

Wendy watched as Ben put on his grinning face. "Ben, what're you going to do…" The boy merely glanced back to the blue head as he activated the Omnitrix. As he was about to slam the core down, Makarov shot a blast of magic.

"GOOOOOOOO!"

"Let's do thi—"

"Lightning staaaaaaaaaaaart!"

Jet then blasted off, leaving everyone in his dust. Since Ben was behind him, he was launched back. "Let's go!" The speed mage howled as he started to run off. Lucy and Levy fell to the ground as well. "…S-See, Lu-chan?" The blonde coughed. "Yeah…"

As the two sat down, everyone else started to run. Natsu pissed everyone off by using his magic as boosters, causing everyone to get rowdy as they started to chase both Jet and Natsu.

Ben's group stood up as well, with Ben grumbling as he rubbed his head. "That little… I'mma coming after you!" He then slammed the core down, blinding the girls around him for a bit as a new form revealed itself.

Taking on a feline-humanoid appearance, this alien sported a black suit-like color scheme. His hands, legs, part of his head and chest were colored blue. Around his green eyes were mask-like fins, along with a triangle shaped nose. Wearing a gray and green shirt, he wore black and gray shorts along with it. The Omnitrix dial was located on his chest, alongside the Fairy Tail emblem on his shoulder.

"Fasttrack!" He yelled in a slightly high pitched voice. Zooming off in a similar fashion to XLR8, he left a speeding trail of blue and black, much to Makarov's dismay.

"The kid really takes advantage of the words I say…" He groaned. After being surprised by Fasttrack's surprise appearance, Wendy and Carla began their jog as well, leaving Lucy and Levy behind.

"Ah crap! We gotta go!" The two then started to follow them, because they were in last place at the moment. Lucy couldn't bear to imagine the things that Makarov would present as a punishment, so for now she decided to just go and run…

---

...

"Oh, what's this?! Jet's already passed far into the lead!" Jason yelped. As the lacrima screen passed by, he cheered. "And behind him, well, in 2nd, is Natsu!"

"HAAAAA!" Natsu and pretty much the entire crowd roared as they continued to sprint towards Mt. Ivor. As they continued to do so, the zipping of footsteps caused everyone to glance behind them, only to shudder at a pair of menacing green eyes.

"OH!"

"What do we have here, everyone! Approaching behind Erza and Gajeel's huge pack is none other than a blue and black cheetah-like creature! Is that who I think it is?!"

"Tsk, and I here I thought we would have a chance!" Gajeel growled. Erza did so as well as they watched Fasttrack pass by them. Not even a few seconds later, Natsu's eyes popped out as he felt a slap to the back of his head.

"The bloody hell! Who did that?!" Everyone one then pointed to the area in front of him, prompting the fire mage to do the same. The only thing he saw was a blur of blue.

"Ben! You lousy crapper!" He barked. Fasttrack merely smiled as he ran. Jason and the other commentators watched his breakthrough.

"So Mira-san, what do you have to say about this current situation?"

"Well… Jet and Ben are so fast… That we can't even film them…"

It was true. All the lacrima footage could get was the dust trail and speed trails that Jet and Fasttrack left behind. Mira then cracked a calm, but dangerous smile.

"Also… I feel slightly… uncomfortable with a certain shapeshifter. I wanted him to wear a certain thing while running, but since he's not in his regular form… I wonder what problem I should give him after this…?"

Jason shuddered, but also shouted in excitement. Fasttrack shivered as well. "Why do I feel that Mira's going to do something to me after this?" As he continued to speed onwards, another dust trail was spotted in his line of vision.

"Oh, looks like the Null Fairy is catching up to Jet! Will these two duke it out in a test of magnificent speed?!"

The speed mage turned his head. "Crap! Ben's here! Come on Jet, don't let the one thing you're good at be beaten by a little kid!" He then flickered a green circle under his feet.

"High Speed: Power Boot!"

Blasting a wave of wind behind him due to his power up, Fasttrack was pushed back, causing him to trip and fall. Rolling for several seconds, the Omnitrix started to time out, with the dial flashing green as he stopped. Reverting back to Ben, the youth grunted as he rubbed his head, shaking off the pain as he stood up.

"That guy…" He grinned while sweating. Looking down at the Omnitrix, the hourglass face plate was currently red, signaling that the piece of alien tech was in Recharge Mode.

"Well, guess I'll be running in my human form after all." He smirked as he started to run. As he looked up, it was nearing sunset as he ran up a mess of rocky terrain. He was nearing Mt. Ivor's domain…

…

Back with the others!

"Freed, you son of a horse!" Evergreen barked. She, along with Bisca and Max stumbled onto her fellow Tribesmen's rune traps. The green head bowed slightly.

"Well, at least I made a way for all of you to get out." With a snap of his fingers, piles upon piles of thick books appeared in front of the trio. Max and Evergreen frowned upon picking some of them up.

"Practice Questions for the Magic Four-Wheeler License Exam?" The sand mage blinked. Bisca did so as well when she picked another book up. "And "Practice Questions for the Level 3 Four Elements Sorcerer Qualifications"?"

"In order to get out from these runes, you must answer all the questions correctly. Tally-ho, everyone." He then faded away in a mess of runes, leaving the three to suffer…

It wasn't just Freed. Everyone was free to use their magic to hinder their opponents. Whether it be Gray's magic to create a floor of ice to slip on, or to simply beating your enemies who were in your way, the wizards of Fairy Tail were basically free to maneuver through the competition however these pleased.

"Everyone's getting hurt…" Wendy's face turned to a sad expression as she and Carla ran across Mt. Ivor's rocky road. "But… I guess that's what makes this competition so interesting?"

"Hardly. I suspect that they're trying so hard because they don't want to be the one to face the punishment." Carla assumed. The two were still wondering what it was, since they never did get to hear it from Happy.

Back at the guild, Jason and the others start to notice movement coming from the top of Mt. Ivor.

"Oh-ho?! What do we have here, movement from the top of Mt. Ivor! Could it be?"

The lacrima drone then noticed…

"Yes, it's Jet! But where is Ben Tennyson at?! Did Jet prove to be the fastest of the fast?! Anyhow, the pre-race speculation was deemed right, as Jet is the first to reach the summit!"

Following the speed mage's movements, Jet skidded a little as he stopped in front of some of the Wyvern Scales that Makarov mentioned. Picking up one from the ground, he grinned as he turned around.

"Score!" He yelped as he began to dash down. Jason and the others watched as he started his trip back, with none of his speed diminishing as he ran down. As he did so, he eventually encountered Ben, who was halfway up.

"Heya, too bad sucka!" He grinned as he sent a dust cloud into the boy's face. The Omnitrix wielder coughed a little as he swiped some of the foundation away.

"Had to rub it in my face, did he…" He sweat dropped as he continued to run. A minute or so passed as he reached the top. The lacrima cameras caught his presence as he took one of the scales.

"And our next person is indeed the Null Fairy, Ben Tennyson! But the question now is; can he make it back before Jet does?!"

"Should I go Fasttrack again? Or is that too unfair to everyone?" Ben wondered as he ran down. "But wait… Isn't this becoming like…"

Smiling, Ben decided to go down in his human form. Thinking of a certain story he heard, he suspected that a certain speeding mage would do something just like in that tale. Mira and Jason watched the boy's expression.

By now, sunset was ending, with dusk coming to take his place. As Ben descended down the mountain path, it was until a bit later that he started to see remnants of Fairy Tail's members, and more specifically…

"GO GO GO!" Natsu barked. Ben could hear the loud mouth coming from a mile away, and not because of his flaming fists. Suddenly thinking of a mischievous plot, Ben hid behind a boulder as he slammed the Omnitrix's core down.

As Natsu started to ascend upon the Mt. Ivor's terrain, he stepped on a rock, causing a flash of green to activate. The Dragon Slayer's eyes widened as his bodily movements started to slow down.

"W-h-a-t…t-h-e…h-e-c-k…?!" He slowly said. As he was sustained in the field of green, a certain clock alien snickered as he walked away, making sure not to get heard.

"Ha, let's see who comes and knocks him out now!" Clockwork smiled as he reverted back into Ben. Popping the Omnitrix core out once more, he slammed it down, replacing himself with Wildmutt after a flash of light engulfed him.

Roaring, the Vulpimancer continued his descend down Mt. Ivor, and by going down the rougher parts, not the smoother pathways that he and Jet initially took. A few minutes pasted, and another mage came by: it was Gajeel! As the iron mage came up, he then noticed Natsu in his state of slowed action. "What the hell?"

Since the field was covering the narrow pathway, Gajeel was forced to knock Natsu off the course. Punching him to the side, the field dissipated as Natsu let out a cry. "Sheesh, that kid loves to mess with him, doesn't he."

Natsu continued to shout out in pain as he tumbled down the mountain side. His shrieks would echo out for a few minutes, with all the incoming members freaking out a little as they came by for their scale…

---

…

Time passes… and now… twilight.

"…Okay. Pretty sure I can take it easy now. Even he can't catch up to this hunk for a while, along with those slackers." Jet grinned as he sat down. Leaning against a tree, his eyelids start to lower as he goes into a slumber.

"The first day has nearly passed! Where is our Jet? Has he ran so far ahead that we can't even track his location?! Stay tune, folks~!"

Nearing the next day, the members of Fairy Tail continued on through their journey. By now, all of them had gotten their individual scales, and were now descending down. The scene now zooms to Wendy and Carla…

"Seriously though, who was that screaming for five minutes straight when we were going up the mountain?" Carla sighed. Wendy wondered who that was as well, but she had the aching suspicion that it was…

"Well, I have a hunch that Ben had something to do with it…" She guessed. Her memories then dwelled back to a few hours back…

---

…

Wildmutt was jumping through the forest trees. Swinging from branch to branch, he was reminded of his first encounter with Vilgax's drones. He remembered that he was doing the same exact action, before getting detected by those hunking, floating pieces of junk scrap.

As he landed on the floor, he rushed into a bush. It was too late for him though, when he finally discovered two individuals behind it. The one in front shrieked in response to his appearance.

"KYAAAAH!" Wendy shrieked. Swiping her arm, she instinctively activated her magic, slapping Wildmutt across the face with as we will now call it: "The Sky Dragon's Aero Sweep".

"Well, so much for not being afraid of the dark." Carla commentated as she stopped in front of Wildmutt. "Look, it's your boyfriend of all people."

"A-Ah… Eh?" Wendy was covering her ears with her eyes shut. As she heard the cat speak out, her eyelids shot open as she turned her face to meet Wildmutt's slouching body. The Vulpimancer whimpered as the Omnitrix dial flashed.

"…Ow. Talk about reflexes…" Ben muttered as he rubbed his cheek. Wendy quickly pouted as she crouched next to him.

"Ben! Don't scare me like that!" She scolded him. Ben shook his head as he sat up. "Well, I was trying to avoid the others. How many people are behind you guys?"

"Enough to ensure that we don't get last place." Carla merely answered. Ben decided to take her response for granted as he stood up.

"You already have you scale, right?" Wendy asked him. Ben nodded, taking the white piece out from his pocket. "You're not far off, so you two should be fine."

Nodding, the two waved away to him as he ran off. "Well, back to the drawing board."

"Yes!" The two then continued to Mt. Ivor… But upon coming to it, a shocking shriek scared the two of them for a moment… Wendy could've sworn she heard snickering from far away…

…

"The second half has begun! The goal is still Magnolia South Park, so let's check on our contestants! It's the break of dawn, so what better time than now to do so?!"

The lacrima cameras began their tracking, displaying several images back to Jason and company. "And we have our players in hand!"

"First off, we have Ben running back to town. He's far passed from the others, just like Jet, but where is our speedy champion?! Our cameras can't catch him anywhere!"

Running quickly to the park, Jason and the others wait in excruciating excitement. "And who's behind our prodigal youth?!" Zooming back to some other racers, Jason grins. "And we have Erza and Gajeel neck to neck, along with some others straight behind him!"

Ben's vision now caught the view of Magnolia Town. "Nice, Magnolia Town's straight ahead! …But where is that crapper, Jet?" He then started to look around. If he was already this close, then that must've mean that his theory was right.

'Even better. He's probably behind, and I'm perfectly in the lead!' He smiled. But suddenly, surprising him…

*BOOOOOOOOM!*

"Ale?" He said in a blank matter. Turning around with dot eyes, his pupils contracted with fear. "Holy crap!"

"BEN TENNYSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"

"Oh?! What do we have here?! Coming from afar, we now see…JET?! And what's more, a bunch of the contestants are hanging onto him!" Mira giggled as she watched through the lacrima.

"THAT DAMN BRAT!" Natsu roared. Ben could've sworn it sounded like Godzilla. "You trapped me in that damn field, and caused my ass to get knocked off the mountain!"

"And not only that, he laid traps all over the place!" Gray suddenly said, appearing beside Natsu and Jet. "Look at what he's done to my pants!"

Gray's lower part was spiked to the bone with pricks and thorns, Wildvine's dirty work. He had tripped on a thin vine during the middle of night, which caused him to get splinters and all other sorts of nasties on his bottoms. He used Ice Make to cover his front, but the stripper was still angry at the youth.

"I can't believe I fell asleep for so long though!" Jet growled. "It's like that damn story! The freaking Unicorn and the Monkey or something!" Ben growled as he turned back.

"TORTOISE AND THE HARE, DOOFUS!" He barked back. His whole body suddenly shivered as a familiar red head came into the crowd. Now desperate, he ran into Magnolia's stone grounds.

"Benjamin Tennyson! You shall pay dearly for getting mud all over my outfit!" Erza growled with a menacing smile. She reminded herself of the moment when she was back in the forest.

In her memory, it was around half an hour before dawn. Even Erza didn't have the greatest of visionary alignment, despite having the fake eye that was provided by Porlyusica. As she ran in the forest, since there were no traces of magic, she fell victim to a pit that Armodrillo created. Cleverly hidden by using the local grass, she fell in. It didn't take her long to get out, but she was clearly disgusted by the fact that Ben mixed the bottom of the place with Stinkfly goop.

Ben was able to do so since the lacrima cameras were unable to spot him. So he decided to exploit the opportunity, along with the rest of the shenanigans that he plotted.

"And here we have it folks! The finale is approaching us here in Magnolia South Park! We have our leading contestants rushing in, and with Jet being behind! What a surprise!"

Now in sight of the goal gate, Ben let out a last spurt of energy, sprinting with all his might. All of the individuals did so as well, but as he was a few dozen meters away, he noticed a lump in the ground that caused one of the tiles to raise up. Dodging it by skipping that one step to the side, the goal was meters within his reach.

"VICTORY WILL BE MINE!" Everyone behind Ben yelled. As they ran past the lone stuck up tile, it was Natsu that unfortunately tripped on it, pushing down everyone. As they did so, a certain cat that was hanging onto the hat of Jet was flung forward, landing on Ben's head the moment he was about to touch the goal, so…

"WE HAVE A WIN…NO, TWO WINNERS FOR FIRST PLACE!"

"Cool! I won, and by a landslide!" The cat grinned as he raised a paw in victory. Ben sighed, before smirking. "Well, what's done is done."

"Congratulations, Happy, Ben!" Mira smiled at the two. "And Ben, I appreciate you finishing the race with the outfit I provided. Such a good boy!"

Ben sweat dropped. "Oh…yeah, totally." He felt like he was on the verge of being punished, so he didn't dare dwell into the problem. He and Happy then turned around to see Natsu and co. on the ground with blank faces of disbelief.

"Goal! Our winners for this year's 24 Hour Endurance Race are Ben Tennyson and Happy! History has been made everyone! Make sure to drill this into your hearts forever!"

As Jason commentated on the victory of Ben and Happy, Natsu and the others merely stood there with shocked expressions. Ben was wondering why the others didn't cross the finish line.

"The damn cat of all things…?" Gajeel was bamboozled. Erza sighed, before smiling at Jet. "Well, it's a good ending at least."

"Bah. I'll let'em have the win this time." Jet smirked. As the five stood in rising spirits, Ben and Happy watched as Wendy and Carla passed them. The five then reacted with shocked looks once more.

"Oh! Wendy, Carla!" Happy and Ben smiled at the pair as they reached the goal as well. Jason rolled his tongue as he grinned.

"GOAL! And here you have it, ladies and gentlemen! Coming in second is Wendy, and third is Carla!"

The four were then given flags signaling their placings. "The top three spots are occupied by this group of four Fairy pretties! Not to mention, everyone's rising couple!" That last remark caused both Ben and Wendy to do a spit take, blushing immediately afterwards.

As they were about to protest, everyone looked back to see the crowd of Fairy Tail members gather towards the goal line. Ben gasped, as he noticed that many of them were looking desperate.

"What?!" Natsu and Gray croaked. Erza and Gajeel did the same. "They don't want to face the punishment!" Jet quickly turned around. "Quick, we gotta make it to the—AAAAAH!"

But it was too late. The crowd ran over them, causing a major stampede over everyone but Erza, who managed to cross the goal line in time. After a few seconds, everyone but Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, and Jet were behind the goal.

"Oho! It looks like this battalion of wizards all crossed the goal line at once! That leaves only these four unfortunate Fairies to cross! Who's gonna be the victim for this year's punishment?" Jason yelled.

"Good thing we passed…" Levy and Lucy sighed in relief. They giggled at the sight of Erza with them. "That was some quick thinking, Erza."

"Even I don't want to face the punishment." She admitted. Juvia and Happy then walked to the front.

"Gray-sama!"

"Natsu!"

"HIGH SPEEEEEE—WHAT?!"

"Oh HELL no!" Natsu, Gajeel, and Gray grabbed onto Jet, causing the four of them to pass the goal line all at once. Jason and some of the passerby watched with disbelief.

"G-Go-Goa-Goal! The four of you crossed at the same time! Coming in last, incredibly, is Natsu, Gajeel, Gray, and Jet!" Jason revealed. "We know who's gonna get punished this year!"

"WHAT?!" All four of the males barked. Makarov held a smug face as he walked up. "Heh."

"Are you prepared?!" The guys tried to protest, but the old man would hear none of that. "Nope! There are no do-overs for jobs, so no do-overs for this either! Take your punishment like men!"

"Urgh…fine! What's it gonna be, Gramps?!" Natsu decided to man up as he walked forward towards the old man.

"There ya go! Now then, I'll announce this year's punishment!" He then took out one of the Weekly Sorcerer's magazines, volume 25 to be exact. It had a title cover with Mira on it.

"The Weekly Sorcerer?" Ben and Wendy blinked.

"The four of you will do a super-embarrassing photo shoot for the next two weeks! You'll all be present on the front cover for that issue's release! The entire thing will be a magnificent piece made of twenty pages, along with an exclusive one-week interview!"

That caused all of the guys to pale out. Ben and Wendy were surprisingly giggling, much to Happy and Carla's surprise.

"Now then, let's go choose the clothes that all of you will be wearing!" Jason proposed. Immediately responding to him, the four ran off, prompting the reporter to chase them.

"Wait!" He begged them. Makarov then turned to Ben. "Ben, capture mission!"

The youth saluted as he activated the Omnitrix. Slamming the core, he turned into Echo Echo and split into four copies. "XLR8 squad, initiate!"

Pressing their dials, they all transformed into XLR8, and zoomed off to chase the four. Jet's magic was no opponent for the Kineceleran squad's speed, so he, along with Gray, Natsu, and Gajeel were captured effortlessly and brought back.

As they apprehended them, Happy then floated to Makarov. "So, what's the reward for first place?"

"Reward? Everyone's cheers and laughs! That's the best thing you could ever get!" The old man chuckled. Wendy and the rest of the crowd laughed as he sank to the ground in despair…

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DON'T DRESS US UP IN THOSE FRILLY-ASS SKIRTS!"

"QUIET!"
