Volume 1 Issue 11: Welcome to Beacon Pt 2
Beacon Academy
Beacon Tower
Headmaster's Office
5:30 P.M.
After a very long and very boring elevator ride, Ben and Velvet were in Professor Ozpin's office. The trip was so boring Ben had to resist every urge to fiddle with the elevator controls, knowing that pushing the buttons for the other floors would only make the trip longer. The office was a rather large room with several gears and clockworks at work. The roof was a glass dome and the back wall was a single window which appeared to be a functioning clock face. In front of the window was a single large desk with a unique design based off the clockwork gears, where Ozpin sat in his chair that also shares the clockwork design.
"Nice to see you again, Benjamin," Ozpin greeted, "Please, you and Velvet can take a seat."
"Don't mind if we do," Ben complied as he and Velvet sat down, "So, what's this about?"
"I just wanted to inform you of your initiation test tomorrow," Ozpin explained, "You see, the four huntsmen academies across Remnant have a special quota system, and with the addition of you, we have exceeded our quota by one."
"I don't see the problem," Ben said confused, " I thought this arrangement was to give me a place to stay while I wait for the Plumbers and my cousin to find me so I can return home."
"Well, during the initiation test, students are given a tasked and assessed. Their assessments not only determine whether or not they belong in Beacon, but also arrange them in teams of four.
Ben turned his attention to Velvet of what Ozpin was talking about as she said, "W-What Professor Ozpin means, Ben, is that during the Beacon Initiation Test, you'll be launched off the Beacon Cliff, and use your own landing strategy to land safely in the Emerald Forest. The first person you make eye contact with it becomes your partner for the next four years. Not only that, you'll be watched and graded by Professor Goodwitch and Professor Ozpin for the duration of the Initiation, but will not intervene in any way. You'll head north to an abandoned temple to find and return of the relics, Items that are used for the test which are chess pieces, back to the Beacon Cliff. However, you have to use your gauntlet watch to overcome any creature of Grimm you'll encounter along the way, once you're finish with the initiation you'll be put in a team comprised of four students each, who are formed based on the two pairs that took the same chess piece relics. At the end of these, Professor Ozpin announces each team based on the relic they retrieved. He names and appoints a leader to each team."
Ozpin and Goodwitch smiled at the member of Team CFVY (Coffee), they were impressed that one of the best teams here at Beacon done their homework, to explain to their juniors on how to pass the test here and given the full explanation of the test itself.
The realization and understanding suddenly hit Ben as he nodded to Velvet and turned his attention back to Ozpin and said, "So you're saying that by letting me come in, you're now three people short of a team."
"Like Miss Scarlatina here said, why you'll have to take the initiation test, nor you be put on a team depending on your choice," Professor Goodwitch said as she joined Ozpin behind the desk.
"Not only have you proven that you are capable based on your story, this will also prevent any complications when you'll eventually return home," Ozpin added, "By not being an official team, we will not have any undersized teams when you return home."
"I guess that makes sense," Ben said as he leaned back in his chair.
"Since you're already provided with a personal dorm, you're also welcome to accompany any team on their future missions and you are required to attend all classes here in Beacon despite your experience," Glynda added.
"So, let me get this straight, what Velvet said to me earlier is true, this field test requires the students to retrieve relics or chess pieces from an abandoned temple located north in a forest filled with different Creatures of Grimm?" Ben ask the blonde Huntress.
"That is correct, Mister Tennyson," Glynda answered.
"That doesn't sound like something kids should be doing," Ben said bluntly. Velvet giggled at Ben's bluntness, as he didn't kinda like the idea.
"Says the boy who claims to be from another universe fighting evil from Earth and space with a powerful device on his arm," Ozpin retorted with a smirk.
"Hey, I'm armed with the most powerful device in my universe. I don't think anything on Remnant can compare to Level 20 alien technology," Ben argued, "Most of the stuff on Remnant is similar to the stuff on Earth, and the most advanced technology on Earth is only Level 4. Earth itself is only and Level 2 technology planet, the Ultimatrix is literally a Level 20 device, 10 times more advanced than common Earth technology.
"Fair enough," Ozpin agreed, "Regardless, applicants for Beacon are all trained in lower grade warrior schools, I'm sure you remember I told you such as Signal Academy in the island of Patch, all of the students are well prepared to enter my school."
"Well, when you put it like that," Ben said reluctantly.
"As for other matters, the reason I called you up here in my office is because I want to learn more about your origins," Ozpin stated curiously. Ben sighed as Velvet patted him on his back, he hoped that Ozpin wouldn't spill his secret to well everyone. Because if word of his Ultimatrix comes out, the military and some crazy scientists would love to remove it, and reverse engineer the device on his arm. But ever since Qrow told him to meet this guy who has caught his attention, it seems like he can trust him for now.
"Very well, Professor," Ben said as he had a serious look on his face, "But, on one condition. I don't want anyone here on Remnant finding out about my Ultimatrix and where I came from, this never leaves the room, and I will only share my story here between you, Professor Goodwitch, Velvet here and her friends I will only trust."
"Very well then," Ozpin agreed as Ben has a point. If the Council of Remnant, the Atlas Military, or even worse, Salem found out that one of his new students, who was from another universe has a powerful extraterrestrial device on his arm. They would seriously get their hands on it as they would try to replicate the device, causing chaos to break out. Don't get him wrong, having a young man from another universe would be a great asset to him.
"Don't worry Ben," Velvet calmly said to him, as she took his hand with the gauntlet on his arm, making eye contact him with a sweet smile on her face. "I promise that I will only share this between you, my teammates, and Professor Ozpin and Goodwitch here," Velvet said keeping her promise.
Ozpin smiled. "Now, from what I've gathered from you ever since our first meeting at the police station; before you had the Ultimatrix, you originally possessed a similar device called the Omnitrix, which you acquired at the age of ten?" Ozpin asked.
"Correct," Ben answered as began to tell his story. "It all started 6 years ago, when I was 10 years old. I went on a camping trip over the summer with my Grandpa Max and my cousin Gwen. I went off by myself and saw what looked like a meteorite land nearby. I went to investigate and discovered that what landed wasn't a meteor at all, it was a space pod. The pod opened up and I found what it looked like some kind of watch with a green hourglass symbol on it. It wasn't until later that I found out it was the Omnitrix."
"So, you just took a strange looking watch out of a pod from outer space and it slapped on your wrist?" Glynda couldn't help but ask the young man in front of her. Ozpin and Velvet eyed Ben, wondering if he really was that curious to do such a thing.
"Well, no," Ben admitted, scratching the back of his neck. "It sort of latched onto me." He spotted numerous looks of skepticism from Ozpin, Glynda, and Velvet shot his way. "I'm serious. As I got closer to the thing, it jumped out at me and wrapped itself around my wrist. I kept trying to get the thing off when I accidentally turned the thing on. It was the very first time I went alien," Ben explained as he chuckled at the distant memory. "And I freaked out."
"Wow, I can believe that," Velvet said, giggling at her new friend as she understood that the watch on his arm is called the Ultimatrix. She now knows that the device on his arm allows him to transform him into different aliens, she was fascinated that her new friend who saved her from the Grimm literally has the power to transform in creatures from outer space. "I mean suddenly transforming into a completely different alien must've given you a heart attack."
"Eh heh," Ben coughed as he blushed, remembering exactly how he reacted the first time he transformed into the Pyronite, he nicknamed Heatblast.
"So, after you realized the Omnitrix, allowed you to turn into different aliens, you were inspired to become a hero?" Ozpin asked.
"Well, even when I was a kid, I could never turn my back on somebody in need. But I was just a ten-year-old, what could I do? But that all changed once I got the Omnitrix and realized that this time, I could make a difference."
While Glynda rolled her eyes at Ben with a small noticeable smile, Ozpin and Velvet were surprisingly awed by his desire to help others.
Ozpin let out a small smile. "Ben Tennyson, truly you are a noble soul. Even at a young age, you were quite selfless."
"Err", Ben scratched the back of his head at those words. "Not always."
"Oh?" Ozpin asked, intrigued. "How so?"
Ben shifted as he continued. "There's been times when I used the Omnitrix for personal stuff. Or when I let all the fame go to my head and I started making mistakes."
"Ben," Ozpin said empathetically. "There's nothing wrong with making mistakes or behaving selfishly at times. You were just a child; nobody should expect one so young to be a saint. The important thing is that you learned from it and it has made you a better person."
"Professor Ozpin is right, Ben," Velvet softly said, as she hold his left hand with both of her hands as he looked to her direction. "Eveyone makes mistakes, but we learned from them and use it to help us better ourselves."
Despite his trust of Ozpin, Ben couldn't help but find himself touched by the Headmaster's words and the rabbit Faunus sweet words.
"So, Mister Tennyson?" Glynda asked, drawing Ben's attention "You've told us that you're a famous celebrity/superhero in your universe, is that correct?"
"Yeah," Ben responded, wondering where Miss Goodwitch was going with this.
Glynda tilted her head in curiosity, "Does that mean you have super-villains to fight?"
Ben gave out a loud laugh at that as the memories filled his mind. "Oh, I've had plenty."
"Even as a child?" Glynda couldn't help asking.
Ben nodded. "I don't know why but just about everywhere we went on that road trip, there was always some villain I had to use the Omnitrix to stop. Dr. Animo, the Circus Freaks, the Forever Knights..."
"Do any of them qualify as your arch enemy?" Velvet inquired further.
Everyone present was taken aback when Ben suddenly scowled and his fists tightened.
"Yeah," Ben said coldly, which took everyone aback even further. "There's one. Vilgax."
Even Ozpin had to pause at the sheer amount of venom in Ben's voice when saying his name. "Vilgax?"
"An alien conqueror obsessed with getting his hands on the Omnitrix," Ben said. "Remember how you said some people might see it as a weapon? He certainly did. In fact, he wanted to create an entire army of Omnitrix users."
All were stunned in silence upon hearing that. An entire army? Ozpin tried to imagine it, hundreds, possibly thousands of shape-shifters. And Ozpin didn't even know the full extent of the Omnitrix's power. A strange sensation filled Ozpin. A little bit of fear, but a small bit of apprehension. The fact that he would feel such a thing was incredible in of itself. However, his fear is that if Salem discovers a boy from another world, that has a power beyond the Relics and the Maidens themselves, then all chaos will break out if she takes the alien device for herself.
Glynda, on the other hand, couldn't believe her eyes and ears. The young shapeshifter from another dimension in front of her has a deep hatred of this Vilgax and his evil idea of using this Omnitrix, to conquer the universe. She couldn't help but say in sympathy, "Oh my Oum, that was his plan?... No wonder he was bent on conquering your universe."
"Yeah, I know," Ben said, looking down at his feet, as Velvet was trying to soothe Ben by holding both his hands, I remember the very first time I fought him. No matter which alien I turn into, he just kept on knocking me around."
This really got Ozpin's attention. A being who was capable of holding his own against a multitude of Ben's aliens? It was small wonder why Ben wasn't fond of this Vilgax.
"And even I was older and a little more experienced, he still gave me a hard time," Ben added.
Of course those like Velvet, and Glynda only wanted to know what Vilgax was like in a fight. Ozpin, however, can tell from Ben's eyes this Vilgax must have a lot of combat experience that can put the Huntsmen and Huntresses out of thier league.
"Well, Ben," Ozpin gently urged. "Your story is amazing. This Vilgax was quite the ruthless character. I don't know how you could have possibly faced anyone as dangerous as him."
Ben gave an empty laugh that. "Don't be too sure. There was the time I faced the Highbreed back when I was fifteen."
"The Highbreed?" Ozpin repeated.
"Yeah, this race of plant aliens who thought they were better than every other species in the universe because of their genetic purity," Ben said. "They were secretly invading Earth, enslaving humans by turning them into these things called DNAliens, building weather towers to make the planet colder for them to thrive on. Me and my team were able to thwart them time and time again..."
"You have a team?" Ozpin wondered.
"Yeah, my cousin Gwen and my former enemy now friend Kevin Levin," Ben explained, smiling fondly as he thought of them. "Sure there was times when our team needed a little work but we were always there for each other."
Glynda raised an eyebrow, curiously at Ben displaying his fondness for his family and teammates, though some like Velvet and Ozpin took note of it.
"So, this Kevin Levin you said is your best friend and even though he was your enemy that tried to kill you back when you were ten years old?" Velvet asked.
Now that got everybody's attention and Ben cringed, regretting how casual he had been about that earlier.
"You're serious right?" Glynda said. "There must be quite a story to that. Care to share with us before we continue?"
"Sorry but that's personal," Ben said firmly. "We were enemies when we were kids but now he's my best friend; that's all you need to know."
"Glynda, please," Ozpin said to his second-in-command, Glynda nodded as she refrained from asking the subject.
Ben relaxed but still said nothing. It wasn't his place to talk about Kevin's life.
"You mentioned something about the Highbreed's true plan," Ozpin pointed out, deciding to bring things back on topic. "What was it?"
"A hyperspace jump gate," Ben replied. "A portal that allowed them to bring their fleet right to Earth."
Ozpin's eyes gleamed at hearing this. Not only did Ben's universe have incredible lifeforms but also amazing technology. Maybe, if they found a way to get Ben home, he would let Glynda, Qrow and James tag along.
"But it wasn't just Earth they were after," Ben said. "That was just the starting point. The Highbreed wanted to wipe out the entire universe. The fleet was too powerful to fight, so there was only one thing to do," Ben said. "We went straight to the Highbreed's home world and confronted their leaders."
"A risky tactic," Glynda spoke up. "However, if their main forces were out attacking other planets, the leaders themselves would be vulnerable."
"Yeah," Ben said. "The Highbreed Council. When we confronted them, we learned the real reason why they wanted to wipe out the universe."
"The real reason?" Ozpin echoed.
"At first we thought they wanted to destroy every other race simply because of their superiority complex. Turns out, their obsession with genetic purity caused their entire race to become sterile from inbreeding. They were the last generation of Highbreeds and they decided that if they were going extinct, everyone else should too."
"So let me get this straight," Velvet spoke up. "These Highbreed guys decided to destroy the universe because they were dying and wanted to take everybody else with them?"
"Yep," Ben nodded.
Ozpin and Glynda shared glances with each other at the incredible lengths the Highbreed went in what could be considered just a way to make themselves feel better.
"Fascinating," Ozpin said. "And how did you stop them?"
"Well, the Omnitrix had the ability to heal damaged DNA. So I used it to spread a universe-wide wave of energy that gave each Highbreed different DNA from my Omnitrix."
"Wait, what?" Glynda frowned. "You mean there wasn't some great battle to the end? You healed them? After everything they did?"
"The Highbreed had us outgunned and outmatched," Ben said. "They would've overpowered us if we continued fighting them. So I figured if I could save them instead, they would call off their fleet."
"But due to their obsession with genetic purity," Ozpin said. "I doubt they were initially pleased with how you helped them."
"Got that right," Ben said dryly. "They were originally going to kill themselves over it. But this Highbreed I became friends with, Reinrassic III, showed up. He had gotten some of Swampfire's DNA awhile ago and used it to convince the Council having different DNA wasn't really that bad. They called back their army and anointed him the new Highbreed Supreme."
"So you saved the universe not through force and power, but through understanding and healing," Ozpin said. "The one who created the Omnitrix must've been so proud to have their creation be used the way it was meant for."
"Well, I did have help," Ben said, remembering all the times he used to brag about saving the universe without giving credit where credit was due.
"One thing I don't get though," Velvet spoke up. "Whatever happened to the Omnitrix and why do you have the Ultimatrix instead?"
"Oh that," Ben said. "Well, it all started with this Galvan called Albedo."
"Galvan, are these the super intelligent species that you told me from your universe that created your watch?" Ozpin asked.
"Yes, Professor, They're kinda like frogs, and remember I transformed into Grey Matter back at the police station?...Yeah that form I transformed into is a Galvan," Ben said. "They're really smart, but can also be pretty aggravating at times. Albedo was the assistant of the Omnitrix's creator, Azmuth."
"Is this Azmuth a Galvan too, and you claimed that he is the smartest being of five galaxies and the creator of the Omnitrix and Ultimatrix?" Ozpin asked, curious about the mysterious creator of such a powerful device.
"Yeah, he is the creator of both," Ben replied. "Anway, Albedo didn't think an inferior human was worthy of using the Omnitrix, so he made a copy to prove he was better. Problem for him was that his Omnitrix was synched to mine."
"How was that a problem?" Glynda asked.
"Well, my DNA was the default so he always turned into a copy of me whenever he changed back. He came to me and told me stuff like how he was the real creator of the Omnitrix, how it was flawed, risked putting a hole in the fabric of the universe, stuff like that. I was able to figure out he was lying, so he attacked me and my team."
"That would've been a sight to see," Ozpin said. "Two guys with the exact same powers duking it out. Kinda fits the saying about how you're your own worst enemy."
"During the fight our Omnitrixes got stuck together and created an energy wave that damaged Albedo's human form, turning him into basically a negative version of me," Ben said. "Think of me with white hair, slightly paler skin, black eyebrows, red eyes, gray pants and a red jacket with black stripes." The two professors and rabbit Faunus actually pictured the image in their head. "Then Azmuth showed up and disabled his Omnitrix, leaving him stuck as me. After that he got sent to prison."
"That's nice and all but where does the Ultimatrix come in?" Velvet asked.
"Well the Ultimatrix was one of Azmuth's other projects that Albedo stole after he managed to escape from prison. Once he got it, he teamed up with Vilgax to get my Omnitrix."
"Why?" Glynda asked him.
"His Ultimatrix was still in synch with my Omnitrix," Ben explained. "Anyway, their team-up worked. They captured my team, threatened to kill them unless I handed over the Omnitrix...so I did."
Most present stared at Ben in shock and amazement, but they couldn't help but be disgusted at this Albedo and Vilgax's actions. Ozpin, however, even though he didn't like this Vilgax and Albedo, he finds Ben's selflessness and compassion of putting others before him really does make him a hero in heart, mind and soul.
"Fascinating, Benjamin, I find your compassion for others to be an incredible strength," Ozpin said, as he was impressed.
"What happened next, Ben?" Velvet urged him.
"Well, we had to retreat since Albedo and Vilgax had both the Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix. At the moment all seemed hopeless. I was ready to just give up. Then Azmuth showed up and gave me a bit of a pep talk. And an idea. When we faced Vilgax again on his ship...I activated the Omnitrix's self-destruct sequence."
Now everyone was staring at him in wide-eyed disbelief.
"You were willing to sacrifice all that power for the sake of defeating your enemy?" Velvet asked.
"There was not much else I could do," Ben said. "If we couldn't get the Omnitrix back, we could at least prevent Vilgax from using it."
"A pragmatic solution," Glynda spoke up.
"Vilgax thought I was bluffing," Ben said, clenching his fists. "And he learned the hard way I wasn't."
Everyone was put off by the coldness in Ben's tone. That must've been a dark day for Ben. And it showed just how much contempt he truly held for his arch-enemy.
"That must've been hard for you," Ozpin said to Ben.
"It was," Ben admitted. "But it was worth it if it meant stopping that psychopath."
"D-Did Vilgax die?" Velvet asked.
Ben shook his head. "The self-destruct hurt him but I faced him enough times to know it wouldn't take him down. So I forced Albedo to give me the Ultimatrix."
"How did you do that?" Glynda wondered.
"By activating the Ultimatrix's self-destruct sequence unless he handed it over to me," Ben answered.
This took everyone by surprise. Though Velvet smiled at him, he has the potential of a true hero just like the Huntsmen and Huntresses here in Remnant.
Ben simply blushed at her direction, causing her to giggle as he continued. "So Albedo gave me the Ultimatrix and I used it to fight Vilgax. Our battle caused his ship to fall into the ocean. As it started sinking, Vilgax turned into a giant squid monster, but I was able to beat him before escaping. I didn't see him escape, but I doubt he's gone. He'll come back, I know he will. And when he does, I'll be ready."
Silence filled the air as the two Professors and rabbit Faunus of Team CFVY started seeing their new guest in a whole new light.
"Ben, if I may ask you, what exactly makes the Ultimatrix different compared to the Omnitrix?" Ozpin asked.
Ben cringed. He should've known that someone would ask that once they learned there were an Ultimatrix and an Omnitrix. He didn't want to reveal the Ultimate forms just yet, but if they found out, they'd be angry for keeping it a secret. But, Ben looked at Velvet, and then the two professors in front oh him, he decided that he'll just reveal the whole thing since he didn't want Velvet to hate him for keeping secrets from her.
"It was able to make Albedo's aliens stronger than mine," He said, which was technically true. "When we fought, he completely owned me. I didn't stand a chance."
"Care to elaborate on that?," Ozpin asked curiously, as Glynda and Velvet both leering in on wanting to know the difference between the Ultimatrix and Omnitrix.
Ben sighed, as he explained, "You see, the Ultimatrix has the ability to hyper evolve my aliens into their Ultimate Form, granting them new powers and new abilities that make them more powerful than ever. The Ultimatrix does this thanks to a special feature called the Evolutionary Function. According to Albedo, the Evolutionary Function works by placing the DNA of the alien in a certain simulation, making it suffer the worst possible scenario in millions of theoretical years in order to "force" evolution in the genetic code in the virtual environment; the evolutionary developments are then modified into the existing DNA. This "survival of the fittest" method of evolving the aliens makes the Ultimates more suited for combat. When Azmuth saw the modified Ultimatrix for the first time, one of his complaints about it was that the Evolutionary Function was 'begging for trouble', " Ben said, as he finished explaining the Ultimate Forms and the Evolutionary Function of the Ultimatrix.
Ozpin and Goodwitch's eyes widen, not only Ben's watch only transforms him into extraterrestials from his universe, but has the ability to evolve his forms into their ultimate forms. Velvet, though, was shocked and amazed at the same time. Her new friend, has the ability to evolve his alien forms into more powerful version of themselves.
"Can you please show us an example of these Ultimate Forms, Benjamin?" Glynda asked curiously, as she wanted to know how Ben, transforms into an Ultimate version of the aliens he transformed.
Ben nodded, as he activated the Ultimatrix, the core popped up revealing an emerald green alien hologram. He then began to cycle through his playlist, turning the dial clockwise, while Velvet, leaned in closer and took a peek as she waved her hand over the hologram.
"What are you doing?" Ben asked.
"I'm just curious, I didn't know it's a hologram," Velvet said.
Ben smiled at her, "Yeah, like I said, my watch is Level 20 alien technology." He finally stopped at the familiar hologram that Velvet would recognize.
He then pushed the Ultimatrix core down blinding Velvet, and the two professors in a flash of emerald light. When the light died down stood a familiar looking blue four armed monkey with the green hourglass symbol on it's chest, Velvet recognized this form when she was saved by Ben from the Ursa Grimm. Ben transformed into his Arachnichimp form, Spidermonkey.
"Spidermonkey!" shouted Ben, as he did a pose. He looked at Velvet, who was smiling as she recognized this simian, while Ozpin was smiling, Glynda's eyes just widen slightly, as she composed herself. Seeing this boy with a powerful device from another universe, is quite shocking, but she knew that Ben has six years of experience despite having little training by his grandfather and the Plumbers.
"Oh my, Ben... that's the form you use to save me, amazing!" Velvet said in awe, as she took out her scroll, and took a picture of the Arachnichimp, she'll definitely save this as her wallpaper and hope Ben could meet her teammates.
"Now, Velvet, Professor Ozpin, and Goodwitch," Spidermonkey said, "The three of you will now witness me change into my Ultimate Form. As I say in desperate situations, there is a time to go hero, and there is a time to go ULTIMATE!" Spidermonkey then pressed the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest, causing it to grow four spikes. The two professors and rabbit Faunus of Team CFVY watched as a ring of emerald green light consumed the Arachnichimp.
Spidermonkey was now different, as he now has a large gorilla-like body with purple skin and black fur. He has three pairs of eyes. He has lost his tail and extra pair of arms, but they are replaced with two pairs of retractable spider legs that can fold into his waist. He now wears the evolved Ultimatrix symbol on his chest.
Spidermonkey had just evolved into Ultimate Spidermonkey, a hyper evolved Arachnichimp with the body of a gorilla with 4 retractable spider legs.
"Ultimate Spidermonkey!" Ultimate SpiderMonkey shouted, as he beated his chest like a gorilla. Ben then began to shoot web out of his mouth, as he aimed his webbing at the ceiling.
"Well it seems to me you got the better deal blowing up the Omnitrix and taking the Ultimatrix for yourself," Velvet noted.
Ben just gave another half-hearted chuckle at that.
"So, did you have any recent adventures before you got blasted here?" Velvet asked.
Now Ben was in a really tough spot. His most recent adventures had been the whole Aggregor mess and when he ended up in Rex's universe. If he talked about Aggregor and his plans for the Forge of Creation, how would they all react if they learned there was an entire species capable of warping reality and that Ben had their DNA in his Ultimatrix.
"I believe that will be enough for now," Ozpin said, suddenly getting up from his chair. "We shouldn't force Ben to tell us all of his adventures in one sitting. We have learned some very interesting things about him."
Glynda minus Velvet stared at Ozpin in shock.
"I must say, Benjamin, you are quite the hero, but I have one question for you, Do you know who sent you to our world?" Ozpin asked, curious of who sent the young shapeshifter in front of him.
"To be honest, I have no idea... I mean the only person who I think who can send me to places somewhere in time and space would be Professor Paradox," Ultimate Spidermonkey explained with some knowledge of the Multiverse.
"P-Professor Paradox?" Glynda asked.
"He is a time walker, a person who has the gain the ability to manipulate time with knowledge of timelines, however, even though there are rules of time travel, he can bent the rules of time and intervene," Ben explained of the time walkers origin.
"Interesting, so this Professor Paradox, can bent the rules instead of breaking them," Ozpin said as he was amused that this Paradox person is similar to him as they can both bent the rules during desperate situations.
"Well, Benjamin, I believe that'll be enough for now, since it is already 6 why don't you and Velvet go to either of your dorms and you can continue talking about your adventures with her. Also, dinner is from 6 to 8 PM," Ozpin said to them with a small smile on his face.
"Okay then," the hyper evolved Arachnichimp agreed as he turned back into his devolved form and then back to normal.
"C'mon Velvet, I tell you more about my Ultimatrix, and I might let you use it, Ben teased with a smile as he and Velvet happily walked out together to the elevator.
As soon as they left, Ozpin mentally thought a few words in his mind while the screen went dark.
'This will be an interesting year...'
