Ben and Maximus ran over to Gwen and Max. "Are you guys okay?", Ben asked as he picked up Gwen. The terrain was... different somehow, they were suddenly in a desert.
"Better now that you're back cous'.", Gwen hugged her cousin tightly.
"Good, because I-!", Ben was shoved out of the way as Gwen gasped.
"No way! Is one of those Ben's a Gwen?", Gwen exclaimed, referring to Gwen 10.
"Yes I am, and yes, we're awesome.", Gwen 10 proclaimed confidently.
"Cutting it a bit close me?", Max asked as Maximus helped him up.
"Oooo! Look at all these me's! The ultimate team up!", Ben yelled out excitedly.
"Hey little Ben, less talk more strategy.", UA Ben scratched the back of his neck.
"Alien X will stop at nothing to get our watches. So-", Ben Prime as cut off.
"Foolish Tennyson.", Alien X's voice boomed as he floated above them. "Every last one of you, you made it less of a hassle, traveling to all of your universes."
"We came here to stop you!", Gwen 10 readied her Omnitrix.
"Yeah, ya hater!", Ben 23 yelled out with a confident smile.
"Prepare for Alien X-Tinction!", OS Ben exclaimed as he and Ben hi-fived. Ben Prime looked at the younger counterpart with a deadly serious expression, then looked at Max and Gwen. The three nodded and ran off to take cover.
"Nothing but sewer rats... no, cockroaches.", Alien X said as the Omnitrix Wielders nodded at each other. Just then, Alien X was met with a massive blast from Maximus' gun.
Various flashes erupted as the users assumed their respective forms. Alien X was tackled out of the sky once he recovered by Gwen's Diamondhead, 'Sharpshooter'. "Gotcha!"
AF Ben had turned into Big Chill, which resembled a humanoid moth wearing a poncho. With a quick hand thrust, he fired a blue stream of Cryokinetic energy. Alien X simply teleported away, Sharpshooter gasped as she was hit with it. "Dammit-!", Big Chill was about to fly up and help her before he was rammed by Alien X, sending him flying into a mountain.
Alien X looked up as he was engulfed in fire by OS Ben's Heatblast, who looked slightly different than Ben's Heatblast. His eyes widened as Alien X had teleported behind him. "Not happening freak!", UA Ben yelled out as Fasttrack, running at him at full speed and tackled him.
Ben 23's Build-A-Guy used this opportunity to grab him and throw him into the air. His eyes widened as he was met with a green blast. Maximus tried to keep up as Alien X was tossing around Fasttrack like a rag doll before teleporting away. "Aren't you going to shoot?" Maximus quickly turned as he was kicked off his vantage point by him but was thankfully saved by Fasttrack.
Alien X tried moving but noticed Big Chill's hands wrapped around his ankles before being met with boulders slamming down on him by Ben Prime's Mentacle, a reptilian humanoid with a prehensile tail and three tentacles sprouting from their head as well as three eyes relative to each tentacle. He wears a green, black, and white uniform. The Omnitrix symbol is located on his chest.
"Don't you understand?", Mentacle quickly turned around and used telekinesis to push Alien X back, who was met with by Sharpshooter swinging a blade at him. Her eyes widened as he planted a foot on her back, a blade formed from his hand. "You have no chance in winning."
That was when Build-A-Guy threw Heatblast at full force, the Pyronite rocketed towards him before unleashing a massive fire blast. Alien X just flew threw and punched him to the ground, right then Fasttrack sped in and attacked him... but was quickly flung away. However... Alien X didn't notice something was missing from his chest. "Keep laying onto him guys! This is our only shot!", Mentacle yelled out as everyone stood back up and prepared to continue.

Fasttrack had sped into the hiding spot Ben, Gwen and Max had took to. "Guess what I have.", he said with a smile and tossed back Ben's Omnitrix.
"Hey! You got it back.", Ben jumped up as he slipped on the Omnitrix... but exhaled as he shivered in fear. Gwen wrapped an arm around her cousin to comfort him.
"You guys go deal with him, we'll think of something.", Max said with a smile as Fasttrack sped off again.
~
Alien X stood there as Fasttrack returned and punched him as he transformed into Four Arms. "My victory is inevitable.", he said grabbing onto Four Arms and using him to bat away Build-A-Guy. Heatblast flew in with Sharpshooter joining in before the two were both blown back by a shockwave. Alien X casually used his telekinesis to bring Mentacle to him and throw him away.
Alien X turned back to see a swarm of silicon like aliens charging at him. "Child's play.", Alien X said as he simply flicked away the clones, leaving the last one standing. "Just give up.", he stated in a bored tone as he grabbed an energy blast sent off by Chromastone before throwing him away as he took to the skies.
Alien X started to create a large slab made of the terrain around them. "I think we should run.", Heatblast said as he picked up Sharpshooter and ran off.
"Agreed.", Build-A-Guy said as he picked up Echo Echo and ran off with Chromastone and Mentacle who sped the process by throwing them into the hiding spot as the slab was thrown at them, just in time.
~
The Omnitrix wielders returned to their human form. "Dang it, we threw everything we had at him and he didn't even blink.", Gwen 10 said as she still felt that hit.
"This creep is too strong.", OS Ben said as he panted. "No fair."
"Yeah, I didn't sign up for this.", Ben 23 bluntly stated.
"If there's one thing I learned when I was 10, theres always a new strategy to try.", AF Ben said as Ben rolled his eyes.
Ben Prime looked at the Ben who recently got his Omnitrix back with a smile as he was suddenly hit with a revelation. "Guys and Gwen, I've got it! We're just too hard headed to see it!", before Gwen 10 could make a snarky remark, UA Ben smacked her on the back of her head. "There's a bunch of us yeah, but we're all hitting him one at a time. We've gotta hit him all at once."
"Together.", AF Ben smiled.
"As a family.", Max said as he walked up to them with Gwen.
"Vague plan but I like it, you ready to join the fun?", Ben Prime asked as Ben nodded.
The Ben's and Gwen's nodded. "It's nice to have a family again.", Maximus said as Max and Gwen turned to him. "Now then, let's end this. Here, give these a squeeze.", Maximus threw three orbs at Max and Gwen.
They both gave the orbs a squeeze, Max's turning into two guns while Gwen's turns into a disc on her wrist. Ben looked at his counterparts and Gwen. They nodded as they transformed into their aliens.
Alien X looked towards the cave as it was destroyed by a towering creature, looking up at Way Big, the culprit. Way Big is a white colossal humanoid creature with a large fin on his head, which is black at the front and red at the bottom. He has blade-like growths on his shoulders and spikes on his waist. He also has red arms with two black lines and white fins on the elbows, wristband like outgrowths on his wrists and yellow eyes on his head with two extra eyes protruding on his cheeks, one on each. He has red feet with two toes, a black sandal-like covering on the middle of his feet and three black lines on the side of his neck. The red parts of Way Big's body are made of an unknown cosmic material with metallic properties. With the Omnitrix on his chest.
Ben, Gwen, and the Max's were lifted out by a blue barrier. Alien X scowled at Orbit Man, a large, bulky, bluish alien with rocky skin, a giant mouth with teeth that are also made of rocks, and a molten lava planet core at the center of his body. His feet are tan with three toes, and he has three fingers and one thumb on each hand. He wears black shorts with blue stripes, a blue belt with white stripes and the Omnitrix symbol on his forehead.
Then the others exited out, Atomix, Ultimate Echo Echo, Humongousaur Shock Rock and Blackhearted.
Atomix has a humanoid robotic appearance. He has a green and white body with large cylinders on his arms near his wrists, that are full of green energy with dark green bubble-like spheres, which constantly move. He has the same energy on his Omnitrix-shaped chest. His head is a pointed, armored helmet. He is mouthless Wearing the Omnitrix symbol on his green and white belt.
Ultimate Echo Echo is a tall, lean humanoid transformation with a blue containment suit that makes him appear as robotic with black stripes and details. He has many sonic disks across his body that he can remove. The Ultimatrix symbol is located on his chest.
Humongousaur was the second tallest amongst them, standing around 60 feet tall with armor like growths on him. And as his name details, he is a dinosaur-like alien.
Last but not least Blackheart, this creature was humanoid with a feminine build. She had large wings with a strange, flesh like texture. She wore a blue and light blue body suit with her head being exposed, being dark blue and wrinkly, lacking eyes and having a crown holding her Omnitrix on the center.
"All of you versus all of us. A truly fitting end for you, Alien X said as Way Big blasted him with a green cosmic energy, in which Alien X lifted his palm up and stopped it in its track, before suddenly, he was hit in the back by Atomix and his nuclear energy. Colliding with the cosmic blast and sending him flying back. Alien X stopped himself from falling but was surrounded by disc.
"Sonic. DOOOOOOOOOM!", Ultimate Echo Echo screamed out as he was met with intense sound waves that had him covering where his ears should've been. Before sending a shockwave and destroying the discs, then launching himself towards Ultimate Echo Echo. However, Orbit Man stopped him in his tracks.
"You're up!", Orbit Man yelled out as Humongousaur charged in and punched him hard, sending him flying again.
Alien X roared in rage as he was stopped in his tracks again by shadows. "I'll take this.", Blackheart's voice smugly said as she tore off the recent addition on his chest before she was expelled off him.
Alien X held up his arms to stop him but was immediately attacked by Atomix, who punched him hard in the back again with Shock Rock smacking him down. Maximus and Max opened fire on him as he roared with rage again, he was stopped in his tracks by Orbit Man again. "Those don't match your outfit.", Humongousaur said as he grabbed him and tore off one of the Omnitrix's on his arms.
"Insignificant fleas!", Alien X roared out as he blew back Orbit Man as Atomix, Shock Rock and Way Big fired their energy blasts at him. Stopped them just before they could hit him.
"Your fashion sense sucks.", Alien X looked down to see Blackheart ripping out another Omnitrix on his chest before vanishing. Right then, Alien X dropped his guard and was bombarded with the energy blasts. Atomix and Orbit Man ran in and peeled away the Omnitrix's on his arms before they were sent flying back.
"This watch is more than enough!", Alien X said as he was surrounded by them by all.
"You sure about that?", Shock Rock said as Alien X was met with sonic blasts and sharpened spikes from Blackheart. He attempted to counter but was stopped by Orbit Man who threw him at Humongousaur in which he stomped on him.
"Oh the karma.", Humongousaur smiled as he was blasted off. Alien X attempted to finish him but was blasted in the back by both Atomix and Way Big before Shock Rock ended it all with one final punch to the jaw.
Alien X groaned as he was tied together by an energy rope. "You're not going anywhere.", Maximus said as he aimed his gun at him along with Max.
Various flashes erupted as The Omnitrix wielders walked up to him. "So close... I was so close.", Alien X looked down.
"You had the power yeah, but even then, you never stood a chance.", Ben Prime said crossing his arms.
"You just went it alone.", Ben said as Alien X erupted in a green flash. In his place was a middle aged version of Ben. He had longer brown hair with dark eyelines, a dirty beard and wore a torn white shirt, blue jeans and black boots. "Woah! It's a me!"
"Mind blown.", OS Ben said as the two young Ben's nodded at each other.
"Knew it.", Ben Prime said as the other wielders shook their heads in disappointment.
"Benjamin?", Maximus' eyes widened as Ben X scowled at the old man.
"Stop looking at me like I'm your Ben, old man. Unlike you fools I learned going it alone is the only way.", Ben X remembered the day he learned that harsh truth. "It was Vilgax who taught me that. He attacked one day, I was taking him down by myself before they got in the way. My Max, my Gwen... I told them I could handle him and they paid the price. So I proved to them I needed no one. And I would've proved it to the entire Omniverse...", he remembered the gruesome sight that was his dead grandfather and cousin. "If I lost everything, so should every other Ben."
"Look, what happened to you was awful and you can't change that but-"
"You could start over, build from the ground up with a willing partner.", Maximus said with a smile as Ben looked at him incredulously. Maximus noticed this. "He has to pay for his crimes, but that doesn't mean he's beyond help. If it was you, wouldn't those who love you offer you a second chance?"
"Of course I would I know that now!", Max held both Ben and Gwen in a right hug. "And I know that I look great in leather, and with a beard and-"
"I'd rather go back to the Null Void.", Ben X said as Ben Prime laughed.
"Oh you will.", Ben Prime patted Maximus' shoulder. "Once you pay for your crimes, you and him are gonna spend some quality time together."
"Yeah, an endless road trip across the Omniverse.", Maximus said as Ben X groaned as he opened the portal and pulled him. "Everyone needs a family, thank you for teaching me that,", Maximus said to the three native Tennyson's as he walked into the portal with the evil Ben.
"Congrats on saving the Omniverse lil me.", AF Ben said putting his hand on Ben's shoulder.
"Yeah little dude! Way to go.", UA Ben said with a proud smile.
"Couldn't have done it without you.", Ben nodded with a smile.
"He's right! You couldn't have done it without me!", Ben 23 tackled the nearly identical Ben's with a grin.
Gwen 10 scoffed. "Please, you guys wouldn't have gotten anywhere without me. See ya other me.", Gwen 10 waved her counterpart goodbye as she shoved the forehead the three Ben's in.
"Guess I'll smell ya later?", OS Ben and Ben fist bumped as the former ran into the portal.
"That's gold! I'm so stealing that.", Ben snickered as Ben Prime patted his head lightly.
"You did good. Now if you don't mind, I have to find a Time Walker to beat up.", Ben Prime said with a proud smile as he walked into the portal. Turning to the counterpart and giving him a thumbs up, right after he did, it closed.
"I'm gonna miss me.", Ben said with a smile as he hugged his family. "I'd rather stay with you guys for the whole summer than go solo for five minutes.", he sighed.
"Guess Team Tennyson's back in business?", Max cocked an eyebrow as Ben looked up and just smiled.
"Yeah."
