Ben Pov

I used the Omnitrix to call the Plumber headquarters.

"Hello, plumber headquarters, can you connect me to Magister Tennyson? I need to talk to him."

"Who is requesting him?"

I sighed and replied

"My name is Ben Tennyson, and Magister Tennyson is my grandfather."

As soon as I said my name, the operator started to freak out that he was talking to THE Ben Tennyson.

"Oh, I will get Magister Tennyson immediately. Please give me a second."

The line cut off for a short moment and it came back alive with Grandpas Max voice.

"Ben? What's wrong?"

"Hey grandpa, I need a list that humans can live on peacefully with the aliens."

"Why?"

"I'll explain it later, can you just get a list, please?"

"Ok, I'll bring it by the house later."

"Thanks, grandpa, love you."

"Love you too Ben, see you later."

With that, the communicator cut off.

Danny and Rex were already walking around the room, packing and making a list on what we are going to leave.

"So how did it go with your grandpa?"

"I managed to contact him and he's going to bring the list by later, how's the list going?"

"Me and Neo have managed to make a list but we are going to have to stop by the castle so I can explain everything to Sam and Tucker and also to grab some stuff. Otherwise, we should be able to get everything here in Bellwood before we leave."

"Ok, let's just leave a note for my parents let's go."

We got dressed and we left a note on the kitchen counter. I looked at the clock before we left, it was already 6 in the morning. I don't know how time passed by so fast. We put on our masks to turn into girls again and walked out to the garage with my parent's keys in hand.

"Hang on, what's this?"

I looked to see what Rex was talking about. There was a car parked next to my parents with a tarp over it. I don't know why I didn't notice it before. Rex pulled off the cover to reveal and black and green sports car under it. Rex picked up a piece of paper that was old and worn down.

"The writing is old and faded, I think it says, congratulations on getting your driver's license Ben, this is your car. Take care of it, from mom and dad."

I forgot that I had just gotten my driver's license just before I was taken. I guess my parents got this for me while I was gone on that day. I walked forward to the car to get a better look. It looked a lot like Kevin's. Rex handed me the keys and I opened up the car and got into the driver's seat.

The interior of the car had black leather. It still had that new car smell. It was beautiful. I heard the other doors open up and close as Danny and Rex got in.

"Wait, where are we going to get the money?"

"Ah see my lovely brother, since I'm king, I have money to my name, I grabbed some before we left a couple of days ago, and we should have enough to get everything we need."

We both stared at Danny, amazed that he had thought that far ahead.

"How much do you have?"

"Well, if I can count right, I have well over 2 thousand dollars with me, we should have enough to get everything and then some. Does that answer your question Neo?"

Rex just nodded his head in response. I put on my seat belt and after the others did the same, I turned on the car, opened the garage door and backed out of the driveway and onto the street.

The street was mostly empty as it was too early for people to be heading for work. We started to head for downtown, where we could get what we needed.

"What do we need to get?"

"Me and Danny think that we have to get some camping supplies, some belt knives, steel toe boots, and some heavy duty clothes?"

I looked back at Neo with the rear view mirror.

"Are you sure? I mean we are still not back to normal weight. The clothes could not fit since we are still going to be gaining weight."

"I think we'll be fine, I don't know if you have noticed but we all have gained a lot of weight with everything we have been eating. I would say that we are back to normal weight."

Danny did have a point. I just shrugged my shoulders and made the turn to go to the closest hunting store. I pulled up to the mall and we walked in.

The mall was smaller than I remembered and there were more stores. We looked at the map and noticed that we were on the other side of the mall and needed to get to the other side for the hunting store.

Wordlessly, we walked to the other side of the store. We passed by the center of the mall. I kept on walking until Rex grabbed my sleeve to make me stop. I turned around to see what Rex wanted me to see. What I saw made my jaw drop.

There in the center of the mall, was a statue of me in action. I walked closer to the statue to read the plaque that was under it.

In loving memory of Benjamin Kirby Tennyson. He was the hero known as Ben 10 and he protected the world more than once. Bellwood was his home town, he continued to live in Bellwood. Until he disappeared in 2012 at the age of 17. His body was never found and there was no trace of him. This statue commemorates the memory of him and his heroic actions.

The three of us just stared at it in amazement. I guess we looked horrified as we heard a voice behind us.

"Detestable isn't it? It's hard to believe they put up a statue for this menace instead of Captain Nemesis. Bellwood is better off not having Ben Tennyson rampaging around town."

We turned around to see a man in a crisp, dark blue business suit, with dark hair and dark brown eyes with glasses on. He looked oddly familiar. I looked over at Danny to see that he was furious.

"And why do you say that?"

Danny's voice was monotonous but his hands were by his side clenched in fists. The man seems to not notice.

"He was nothing but a child with too much power, and he took advantage of it by causing destruction all over the city in each and every one of his fights."

Rex was the one to start talking.

"He was a superhero, it must have been difficult to avoid getting thrown into a wall."

"There's no excuse. Anyways, he's not here anymore I made sure of that."

What does he mean by that, I decided to follow my question and ask him what he means?

"What do you mean?"

I tried my best to keep my voice clear, but it was shaking with rage.

"One of his enemies, the Forever Knights, I hired them to exhaust him. A group named Providence came to my studio and paid me to do this. They said that they'll get rid of him. They fulfilled their word. Best decision in my life. "

We were all shaking with rage. Especially me as I had finally realized who this man was. It was Will Harangue, the TV reporter that tried to kill me more than once.

"Are you telling me, "my voice was shaking with rage, this time Will actually noticed it, "that you are the reason why I was experimented on this past 3 years?"

He looked confused.

"What are you talking about?"

I stepped forward and grabbed him around the collar of his shirt and pulled him towards me.

"You are the reason, the reason why I have scars all over me. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY I WAS IN HELL FOR 3 FUCKING YEARS!"

Will looked terrified and tried to push me away.

"Let go of me, you crazy bitch!"

The few employees that were there this early in the morning were starting to walk out to see what the commotion was.

Will tried to push me away and ended up punching me in the face. I heard several gasps as my head was pushed roughly to the side. I didn't feel the pain and looked back to him. He paled, he opened his mouth to speak but only a whisper came out.

"Ben Tennyson."
