Ben and Van 10!

by Vgn Golley

Vanessa Cunningham was expecting to go on a normal summer vacation with her childhood best friend and his family, but that all changed when an alien space pod crashes down on their campsite while carrying a pair of strange devices called 'The Biomnitrix'. Now Ben and Vanessa go on epic adventures of fighting supervillains, monsters, sorcerers, aliens, and all sorts of other things.

4. Freaky Ben and Van

Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of Ben and Van 10! I hope that you guys like the chapter. And, before we begin, spoiler alert, Ben and Van are going to be the ones to change bodies instead of Ben and Gwen. And, to avoid confusion when reading the chapter, when Ben switches his body with Van, he would be addressed as Ben/Van, and when Van switches bodies with Ben, she will be addressed as Van/Ben. Also, if you're curious about how Hex would look and sound like, Hex will have his reboot design and voice actor...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OC's.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Intro}

A green glowing steel pod was flying across the Milky Way Galaxy as it reached towards Earth, and crashes down as a huge green flash occurred. Once the flash dies down, we see the glowing symbols of the Biomnitrix as the camera zoom out, and we see Ben and Vanessa looking at their new devices in wonder as the kids then glanced at each other before smirking as they activated their gauntlets and two cores popped out as Ben and Vanessa raised their hands in the sky dramatically before slamming them down on their individual Biomnitrix's.

The area around them turned green as Ben slowly morphed into Four Arms and pumped his fists into the air in victory while Vanessa transformed into Coldphase as she opened up her wings and flew in the air as she generated an ice mace in her hand, and white number 1 appeared beside them.

Ben and Van 10!

Ben then quick-changed into Heatblast as he manifested a fiery cyclone around him, but lost control of it as the tornado began to grow. Vanessa reacted quickly and transformed into Blitz as she runs around the fire tornado and snuffs out the infernal hurricane, but accidentally cancel out Heatblast's fire in the process as well. The magma-being gave his friend a deadpanned look as Vanessa gave him a sheepish grin, and a white number 2 appeared beside them.

Ben and Van 10!

Huffing in annoyance, Heatblast glared at the Citrakayah until an idea popped into his head as Ben grins mischievously. Quick-changing into XLR8, the Kineceleran puts on his visor as he began running circles around Blitz. Vanessa yelped as the fast winds from XlR8 forced her to fall to the ground, and XLR8 stopped running as he laughed at her immaturely. Vanessa growls at him in anger as she quick-changed into Split and duplicated herself up to 30. XLR8 yelped in surprise as Split and her clones dogpiled on the surprised Kineceleran, and a white number of a 3 appeared beside them.

Ben and Van 10!

Split and her clones smirked at each other in victory until they felt something rumbling below them as a flash of green light appeared, and they were all thrown into the air by large crystal spikes. Diamondhead rose up from the ground as he raised his hands and encased each clone in small crystal cages as they struggled to free themselves. Diamondhead crossed his arms smugly before blinking in shock as all the Split's merged with each other and transformed into Vortex. The cloud-like alien turned herself into the air as she easily escaped from Diamondhead's crystal trap, and a white number 4 appeared beside them.

Ben and Van 10!

Not giving up the fight just yet, Ben quick-changed into Cannonbolt as he curled up into a ball and rolled over to Vortex, who stood perfectly still as she transformed into Fairytail and used her magic to conjure a slide in front of Cannonbolt. Ben's eyes widen from deep inside his shell as he went up the slide, and flew in the air as he crashed against the green background, and groans as a white number of a 5 appeared beside them.

Ben and Van 10!

Fairytail giggled under her breath as Cannonbolt glared at her and transformed into Upgrade as he turns into a puddle and slithered his way towards an unsuspecting Fairytail. Without giving her time to react, the Galvanic Mechamorph used his elasticity to wrap around her body as Fairytail struggled to escape from his grasp. Vanessa grunted before quick-changing into Tricetaurus as she bursts out of Upgrade's hold and roars as a white number of a 6 appeared beside them.

Ben and Van 10!

Upgrade rubs his head as a large shadow fell on top of him and gulps as he saw Tricetaurus glaring down at him as she raised her foot to smash him and dropped it down. Luckily, Ben transformed into Grey Matter just in time as he dodged her and jumped up to her leg as he begins crawling all across her body. Tricetaurus tried to smack him, but Ben easily avoided her attacks as he crawled to the top of her head and Vanessa glared at him as she tries to hit him, but he manages to jump out of the way in time as Vanessa accidentally smacked herself on the face, and fell down. Grey Matter laughed at her as Vanessa blushed embarrassedly and glared at him as she transformed into Snatcher and morphed into a more buffed version of Grey Matter. Before Ben could react, Snatcher leaps towards him as she tackles him to the floor, and a white number of a 7 appeared beside them.

Ben and Van 10!

Grey Matter struggled to escape from the chokehold Snatcher was giving him as he thought quickly and transformed into Overflow as Snatcher lost her grip on him and fell on the floor. Overflow smirked down at the terrified Snatcher as he raised his hand and washed her away with a burst of water as Snatcher's physical form dissolved into a puddle of goo. Snatcher glared at the smirking Cascan before transforming into White Fang as she hissed at him and jumps onto his head. Ben struggled to push her off as White Fang used her sharp claws to scratch him, but couldn't slice through his hard exoskeleton as a white number of an 8 appeared beside them.

Ben and Van 10!

Overflow grunted before transforming into Wildvine as he used his tendrils to grab Vanessa's waist and threw her off. White Fang landed in a low crouch as she growled at him and transforms into Kralastico as she extended her hands and fists blew up to ridiculous proportions. Wildvine and Kralastico glared daggers at each other as they took off into a sprint and raised their fists just as a white number of a 9 appeared above them.

Ben and Van 10!

Wildvine and Kralastico struggled to free themselves as they accidentally tied themselves up with their stretched-out limbs during the fight. Kralastico whimpers and Wildvine stared at her worriedly before grinning as an idea popped into his head. Whispering his plan into Vanessa's ear, Kralastico nodded with a smile as Ben transformed into Stinkfly, and Vanessa morphed into Freakazette as they escaped from their bonds. Stinkfly flew in the air happily as Freakazette pops up behind him and pulls out a sign with a white number 10 on it from her hammerspace.

Ben and Van 10!

Happy to not be fighting anymore, Stinkfly and Freakazette smiled at each other as the young cartoon alien reached out and literally flipped the scene around as we see Ben and Vanessa standing in a white room while back in their human forms as Max and Gwen stood beside them.

Ben shared a low five with his grandfather while Vanessa shared a hug with Gwen as the red-haired girl ran off with her grandfather off-screen. Leaving behind the kids as Ben and Vanessa stared at each other for a few seconds before blushing as they shyly held hands, and their Biomnitrix's glows brightly as their fusion aliens appeared beside them.

{Season 1, Episode 4: Freaky Ben and Van}

It was a nice, beautiful day for the Tennyson Family and Vanessa as Max had decided to take the kids to a flea market, where a Swap Meet was currently going on as the Max and Gwen were currently walking through the market while 'oohing' and 'ahhing' at all of the random, weird, but interesting stuff that littered around them while Ben and Van, however, weren't having a good time as they were currently glaring daggers at each other angrily with Ben sticking out his tongue at her childishly as Vanessa gasped at this offendedly before fuming as she sticks out her tongue at him mockingly as well.

"Nothing gets the blood going like a good old Swap Meet, kids," Max says while smiling a bit as he sighs contently and closed his eyes. "Reminds me of the old Bazaar."

"Bizzare is right, Grandpa," Gwen says while walking up to a small stand that held a wood carving of a weird, freaky frog with wings on it as Gwen picked it up and smiled down at it amusedly as she turned over to her cousin and friend. "Hey, guys, check this thing out! Pretty weird, right?" Gwen asked while giggling as Ben beamed at the sight of it.

"Whoa! This thing looks freaky...awesome!" Ben says, feeling a little better, as he ran over to inspect the weird carving with an intrigued look on his face.

"Of course, you will like it. It looks like just you." Van insulted while looking away with her arms crossed as Gwen and Max gasped in surprise, not expecting that the usually nice girl will say something so mean like that, especially to her best friend, as Ben blinks in surprise before glaring at the young girl as he hands the carving back at Gwen.

"Ha, ha, that was so funny that I forgot to laugh," Ben says sarcastically as Van ignored him and continued looking away as Ben narrowed his eyes at her in annoyance before grinning mischievously as he spotted something in the stand that made him smirk and walked over to it as Ben grabbed it and turned towards the blue-haired girl. "Hey, Van, look! I found something that looks exactly like you." Ben says as an irritated Van groaned and turned towards him as she gasped in shock at the sight of a smirking Ben holding a giant poop emoji statue. "Ha, ha, ha!" Ben laughed after seeing Van's shocked look as a stunned Van slowly grew angry, and the ten-year-old girl gritted her teeth in anger as she gripped her fists.

"YOU JERK!" Van shouted angrily as she rushed over to a surprised Ben and tackled him onto the floor as Van sat on top of him and held him in place with her superior strength as she began twisting his leg. "TAKE THAT BACK! TAKE THAT BACK, RIGHT NOW!" Van shouted while twisting his ankle slightly, not enough to break it but enough to cause her best friend extreme discomfort as Ben yelped in pain before glaring up at Vanessa as he began punching the floor.

"NEVER!" Ben shouted while thrashing around as he tried to push off Vanessa but failed as Van continued playing uncle with him.

"Hey, hey, hey, break it up!" Max yelled while walking over to the kids as he picked up Vanessa by her armpits and lifted her off of Ben, who wasted no time getting up as he leaped up and grabbed a surprised Van from out of his grandfather's hold as Ben tossed her into the floor and Van landed onto the ground on her stomach as she groaned in pain before yelping as Ben jumped on top of her and grabbed onto her arm as he began twisting it.

"SAY, UNCLE! SAY IT!" Ben screamed while twisting her arm as Van began tearing up in pain but composed herself fast enough to glare up at him definitely as she struggled in his hold.

"NEVER!" Van yelled back as Max simply placed his fingers at the bridge of his nose and sighs heavily at the kid's antics as Gwen awkwardly stood in the background, not knowing what to do as she had never seen her cousin and friend fight like that before as the young red-headed girl noticed that Ben and Van's fight started attracting a small crowd of curious onlookers as Gwen smiled at them weakly and shrugged as a tired Max went to stop the kid's fight again.

"Alright, alright, alright, I said that's enough!" Max yelled firmly as he grabbed onto his grandson by his waist and lifted him off of Vanessa, who growled up at Ben angrily as she was about to charge at him, but was stopped by Grandpa Max as he used his other hand to stop her at her tracks. "Nope, we're not doing that again! You two better settle down right now, or else we're going back to the RV and not going to buy any cool stuff at the Swap Meet!" Max stated sternly with a harsh glare as Ben and Van flinched at what he said and huffed as they crossed their arms grumbly and looks down with a glare as Max shakes his head at their odd behavior. "Now, will you two please explain to us why you two have been so angry at each other all day?" Max asked while placing his hands on his hips as he remembered seeing Ben and Van glaring at each other during breakfast and during lunch as both he and Gwen found this weird before shrugging it off as they figured that the kids had a small argument and were going to settle it out later on, but clearly that wasn't the case.

"Oh, you want to know why we're so angry at each other? It's because Little Miss Klutz here messed up and let those bad guys slipped past us last night!" Ben yelled while pointing at Van accusingly as last night, the gang was dealing with a couple of jewelry thieves as Ben and Van, who were XLR8 and Blitz at the time, were making quick work of the petty thieves but, while they were running around the bad guys, Blitz had accidentally tripped and crashed against a shocked XLR8 as while they were busy recovering from the sudden collision the bad guys got away, much to Ben's anger as he blames Van for the incident.

"My fault!? That wasn't my fault, and you know it!" Van shouted as Ben narrowed his eyes at her in slight anger and marched up to her as they butted heads and glared at each other as Gwen watched on with worry while Max simply sighs heavily as he crossed his arms in disagreement at their actions.

"Oh, please, if you weren't such a klutz in the first place, we wouldn't even need to chase after them, Vanessa Agatha Cunningham!" Ben yelled as Vanessa narrowed her eyes angrily at Ben calling her by her full name, and tightened her fist as she glared up at him furiously.

"Well, if you weren't so much of a hot-headed jerk and stop arguing with me, we would've chased after them and caught them, Benjamin Kirby Tennyson!" Van shouted back as she and Ben growled at each other in agitation as they were about to argue more but were thankfully stopped by Max as the older man pushed them away from each other.

"Alright, I'm putting a stop to this nonsense right now!" Max says, getting annoyed with seeing the usually close friends bicker at each other like little children as Max turned over to his grandson. "Ben, we all have agreed that we won't blame Vanessa for what happened yesterday. She just simply made a small mistake, and you can't blame her for that. We will catch those robbers next time." Max said as Ben grumbles and crossed his arms as he looked away.

"Ha! In your face!" Van says while pointing at an annoyed Ben as Max turned over to her and gave her a stern look as Van glances up at him with surprise. "Why are you giving me that look? What did I do?" Van asked confusedly as Max sighs and bends down as he gave her a calm, serious look.

"Vanessa, you and I both know that it wasn't your fault that the bank robbers got away, but Ben doesn't know that yet. You know how he gets when he's angry. Just try not to agitate him and let him calm down. Once he does, Ben will realize his mistake and apologize to you." Max says as Van sighs but reluctantly nods as Max smiled, and an idea popped into his head as he grinned and stood up as he pulled out his wallet. "Now, to help you and Ben get along again, I'm giving you two twenty bucks each to buy something here in the Swamp Meet," Max says while pulling out forty bucks as he handed a surprised Ben and Van twenty bucks each respectively.

"For this little genius activity that I have now come up with, you two have to buy something together, which means that you two have to learn to get along fast and come to an agreement to buy something you both like," Max says as Ben and Van frowned at what he said and turned to each other as they shared harsh glares before huffing as they looked away with a couple of annoyed huffs, and Max shakes his head at what he sees as he then turns to Gwen. "As for you, Gwen, for your good behavior, I'm giving you forty bucks to buy anything you like."

"What!?" Ben and Van exclaimed in shock as Max pulls out a couple of twenty's from his wallet and handed it over to a happy Gwen as the Biomnitrix Wielders glared up at Max, who ignored their glares as Max smile at the kids,

"Now, go and have fun. And remember, kids, work together to buy something that you will both enjoy." Max says to Ben and Van before walking off as Ben and Van crossed their arms in annoyance and huffed at the same time as they glared at Gwen.

"Why is it that you can buy whatever you want while we're forced to buy only one thing for each other?"

"Yeah, that's not fair," Van says while nodding in agreement as Gwen stared at them with a deadpan look.

"Well, at least it's nice to see you two finally agree on something today," Gwen says as Ben and Van realized what they did and blushed in embarrassment as they remembered that they were supposed to be angry at each other and swiftly turned around to avoid looking at each other as Gwen sighs before perking up as she walks over to them and casually places her arms around them as she gave them both a cheery smile. "Come on, guys, you're supposed to be best friends, remember? Partners in Crime and whatnot? So, one of you made one small mistake? So, what!? It's no big deal, right?! Now, come on, let's go see if we can have you guys buy something you will like. What do you say?" Gwen asked as Ben, and Van sighs in irritation but nods as she beams. "Great! Now, come on, guys, let's go! I will just buy my own thing later on after I finish patching things up for you two lovebirds,"

"WE'RE NOT LOVEBIRDS!" Ben and Van yelled at Gwen in annoyance as the red-haired girl smirked at them slyly.

"Yeah, right~," Gwen says as Ben and Van grumbled before being pulled along by Gwen as she dragged them over to the stands.

"Where are they?" A gray-skinned man wearing robes asked while walking across the Swap Meet as he looks around the many stands around him and narrowed his eyes as the man seems to be looking for something particular, but can't seem to find it as the man growled in annoyance.

The man is a 10,000-year-old Human as he has orange scleras with glowing red eyes, a baldhead, his face is painted white/black to resemble a skull, a small white nose, sharp yellow teeth, pointy ears, black symbols on his shoulders, black fingernails/toenails, light gray skin, and an extremely thin, but somewhat muscular built. His outfit consists of a red/black dress/hood, brown/golden talismans under his neck, black armguards, a red cloth that resembles a belt, black pants that are torn beyond his knees, and long black socks that don't cover his heels or toes. Also, he carries around a magical staff named, 'The Staff of Ages', as his weapon is made out of nearly indestructible magical wood and has a bird-like head on top with a golden ring that runs through its eyes. His name is Hex, an ancient and powerful Dark Mage/Sorceror and one of Ben and Van's most powerful villains.

"Which of these insolent fleebeings stole the Titan Gauntlets?" Hex asked himself quietly as many people around him gave Hex odd looks for his choice of attire and look...before shrugging as they continued on with their day. "My tracking spell has revealed that the Titan Gauntlets are located at this Swamp Meet, and once I find the person that stole the Titan Gauntlets, I will annihilate them." Hex whispers under his breath threateningly while tightening his grip on his Staff of Ages angrily as he was about to continue with his search when suddenly a male Prospector-like man appeared standing in front of him as he smiles up at an annoyed Hex toothily.

"Well, howdy-do there, partner! I couldn't help but eavesdrop on your whispering, and I'm hearing that you're in the market for a pair of fancy-looking gloves! Well, don't look any further, my friend! I have what you just need right here!" The Prospector says as he swiftly turns around to walk into a stand, and a doubtful but curious Hex walks after him as the Sorceror saw the Prospector rummages through his chest that was placed next to his stand and pulls out a pair of huge, designer, pink cowboy boots. "But, of course, before I give you your gloves, you're going to need a pair of boots as well." The Prospector says cheerfully as Hex's eye twitched in annoyance and takes a deep breath to calm down his seething anger as he turns around to walk away. "Hey, wait! What about your gloves and boots, my friend!" The Prospector yelled while running up to him as he grabbed onto Hex's arm and the angry Sorceror aggressively pushes him off as Hex raises his staff, and it glowed bright red as Hex fired a red, magical blast at the surprised Prospector's chest that sends him flying through the air and crashes against his tent as the Prospector falls down and groans in pain as he rubs his head.

"Don't you ever lay your hands on me, Mortal!" Hex screamed with his eyes glowing red as he started floating in mid-air and slowly started approaching the frightened Prospector, who fearfully started crawling back a few feet away from the piss off Sorceror as Hex raised his staff and the Prospector gasps in surprise as the powerful villain coated his shoes with a bloody red aurora before proceeding to fling it away as Hex glared at him coldly. "And spare me your filthy novelty boots! I'm seeking the gloves of the Gods! The Titan Gauntlets! A pair of powerful-ancient artifacts that can grant the user god-like power and will also amplify the user's natural or supernatural abilities a thousand-fold! With these weapons, I will rule these Earthly Plane, and no one will ever stop me!"

"...W-Well, why didn't you say so, bud?" The Prospector asked cheerfully/nervously as he turns around to rummage through his chest again. "I got just the thing for earthly domination...Fuzzy Chaps! Ta-Da!" The Prospector says while presenting a pair of Fuzzy Chaps to Hex, who was not amused by the man's antics as he slowly floated higher into the air, and his whole body glowed bright red as Hex twirled his staff around before slamming it onto the ground as he produced a huge bright red magical shockwave that blows the tents and the people back a few feet away as a shaking Prospector groaned in pain while lying on the floor as he slowly sits up and gags as a red aura covered the Prospector's neck and were slowly lifted into the air as he was presented to a glaring, serious, Hex.

"NO MORE GAMES, MORTAL!" Hex screamed as he raised his glowing red hand and clenched his fist as Hex tightened his grip on the Prospector's neck and the middle-aged man's face started going blue from the lack of oxygen as he struggled to break free from the Magician's magical hold. "Now, tell me, where are the Titan Gauntlets?!"

"I-I don't know! Honest! I-I was just trying to sell you some stuff! Please, mister, don't kill me!" The Prospector pleaded while crying in fear as Hex snarled at this in disgust and rolls his eyes as he throws off the Prospector and looks around as Hex places his hands on his chin thoughtfully.

"Hmmm, I need some minions in order to help search through this whole filthy Swap Meet," Hex says before spotting various objects placed around him on numerous broken stands as Hex smirks. "Ah, this should suffice," Hex says with his staff glowing bright red as he fired a couple of energy magic blasts at all of the objects around him and brought them to life as a small raccoon plushie wearing a small red top hat grew in size and its eyes glowed red as it snarled at the scared citizens around him. Several textbooks near him were animated to life as a red glow covered them, and large bat-like wings pop out from the cover as they floated in mid-air and started chasing after the sacred citizens like a swarm of bats as they screamed in fear. A cute-looking teddy bear suddenly grew in size and gain a more grotesque appearance as it roared loudly and leaped up onto a large muscular bald man's face, who was inspecting the teddy bear as he yelped in fright and struggled to take off the monster teddy bear from out of his face as the man felt the teddy bear's claws spear into his face, drawing blood.

"Yes, yes, my minions! Spread out and cause chaos! But don't forget to look for my Titan Gauntlets! Find them at all costs! Don't let anyone stand in your way!" Hex commanded as his animated minions nodded and separated as they began searching for the Titan Gauntlets while also scaring and hurting innocent civilians as Hex watched them go with an evil grin on his face.

"Hey, Van, look, your favorite animal~," Ben says with a mischievous smirk on his face as he was holding onto a jumble of large snake plushies and walks over to the girls, who were standing around inspecting a small stand as Ben approached a distracted Van and dumped the fake snakes on top of her head, causing her to squeal loudly in fear as she begins running around panickedly.

"AAAAHHHH! GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF! GET THEM OFF!" Van yelled fearfully as an unamused Gwen walks over to the screaming little girl and nonchalantly grabbed onto the jumble of snake plushies as Gwen threw them away.

"They weren't real snakes, Vanessa. They're just toys." Gwen says with a deadpan look, causing Vanessa to blink in surprise as she blushes in embarrassment.

"Oh, right, he, he, he," Van laughs sheepishly before frowning in anger as she heard Ben laugh at her, and the blue-haired girl growled furiously as Van rolled her up sleeves and was about to throttle him for using her fear of snakes against her, but was stopped by an annoyed Gwen as she gave Van and Ben a stern look.

"Guys, that's enough! I'm getting pretty sick at seeing you two fight! Can we please just pick something that you will two buy together so that we can go back to the RV and forget this whole day happened?" Gwen pleaded tiredly, wanting to get this day done as fast as possible, as Van and Ben glared at each other and huffed as they crossed their arms and looked away as Gwen sighs heavily. "This is going to be a looooooooooooong day. Just...Just go and look through the stands already and pick out something you like." Gwen says while pinching the bridge of her nose as Ben and Van sighed in annoyance but reluctantly did as she said as the trio walked over to the stands and looked through the various items laid before them as Van found something that made her smile.

"Oooh, how about these things?" Van asked as Ben and Gwen turned to her and saw Van wearing a new outfit consisting of a blue hoodie with black jeans, a blue/green snapback hat that had twin sword symbols planted onto it, a pair of black/brown sunglasses, a fake scar tattoo on her left eye, blue shoes, and, weirdly enough, a fake purple Omnitrix symbol planted firmly on her chest. "What do you think, guys?" Van asked while twirling around to present her new outfit. "Neat, huh?" Van asked while lowering her sunglasses as she winks at her friends, although the Tennyson Cousins didn't like her new look at all as Gwen gave her a thumbs down, and Ben blew a raspberry.

"Eh, your new outfit and accessories are not really selling it to me," Gwen says truthfully as Ben nodded.

"Yeah, it makes you look cringey, to be honest," Ben says as, although he was still mad at Van, he didn't want his best friend to look like a dweeb.

"Aww, okay, I'll change," Van says with a cute pout on her face as she had walked off to the dressing room to change back into her normal outfit and comes back as she threw her new outfit and accessories into the trash while a bored Ben looks around as he spotted something that made him gasp in wonder with stars appeared in his eyes as he grins.

"Hey, girls, how about this?" Ben asked as the girls turned to him and saw the smirking Biomnitrix Wielder wearing a green jacket with white stripes and the number 10 on it, a black T-shirt underneath, blue jeans, and black/white Converse-style shoes.

"Hmmm, well, that outfit does look good on you, Ben, but it seems to be an outfit belonging more to a teenager than a ten-year-old kid," Gwen says with Van nodding in agreement as, although she was still mad at Ben, Van had to agree that outfit looks perfect on him.

"Aww, fine," Ben says as he sulkily walks back into the dressing room and had changed back into his normal outfit as he placed his new clothes on a table and the trio continued searching for something that Ben and Van can buy together but wasn't having much luck as whatever that Ben had picked out, Van had refused to but it and whatever that Van had picked out, Ben was quick to deny buying it as this charade had lasted for a couple of hours until the kids had enough as Ben and Van angrily butted heads.

"WHY CAN'T YOU BUY ANYTHING THAT I LIKE!?" Ben and Van asked in frustration/anger as they growled at each other while Gwen simply shakes her head at her friend's antics as the Biomnitrix Wielders were about to fight each other...but then their eyes widen in surprise as they spotted something that made their jaws dropped in amazement and quickly separated from each other as they ran over to a stand.

"What? What's wrong?" Gwen asked as she ran after her friends and saw Ben and Van ogling what seems to be a large Sumo Slammers Slushy Machine as they stared at it in awe.

"Gwen, do you see what we see?! It's the Sumo Slammers Slushy Machine!" The Biomnitrix Wielders cried out in happiness as Ben presses the button that reads, 'Try me!', and Van eagerly placed two cups with two straws onto them below the slushy machine as the large machine poured two different-colored drinks onto the cups. "Each slushie is the perfect embodiment of the Sumo Slammer spirit!" Ben and Van exclaimed in unison excitedly as the Sumo Slammer Slushie Machine stopped pouring their drinks and the ten-year-old boys quickly grabbed onto their cups as they proceed to drink their new Sumo Slammers Slushies...and their eyes widen in pure awe/wonder as Ben and Van both sighed in pleasure and fell onto the floor dramatically as a worried Gwen rushed over to them.

"Ben! Van! Are you two okay?" Gwen asked concernedly as she saw that Ben and Van had huge, extremely happy smiles on their faces as they beamed up at the red-headed girl.

"It's perfect! It tastes like heaven!" Van exclaimed with a girlish squeal as Ben held up a couple of flavor packets.

"Yeah, and it even comes with original flavor packets!" Ben says excitedly as Gwen looks in between them and smiles slightly as she places her hands on her hips.

"So, it seems that you two FINALLY agreed to buy something together, huh?" Gwen asked with a smile as Ben and Van turned to her and nodded.

"Yep! And once we buy this slushy machine, I will happily place it on my side of the RV." Ben and Van said in unison...before realizing what they said as they turned to each other with confused glares.

"What are you talking about, Van? That slushy machine will be placed on my side of the RV." Ben stated firmly as Van shakes her head.

"No, Ben, it will be placed on my side of the RV!"

"No, the slushy machine will be on my side!"

"No, my side!"

"No, mine!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"Well, it was fun while it lasted." Gwen drawls out while signing heavily as she saw her friends bickering with each other again and shakes her head as she was about to break up the fight, but was stopped by the owner of the tent as an old white-haired woman wearing a blue robe appeared from the back of her tent and smiled at the kids warmly as she had turned over to a growling Ben and Van.

"You have good eyes, children, but perhaps you would like to see something a little bit more...powerful?" The Old Woman asked, drawing the kid's attention as Ben and Van paused their bickering to give the owner of the tent confused/unconvinced looks.

"Uh, what are you talking about, lady? We're not looking for anything powerful. We just want the Sumo Slammers Slushie Machine." Van says with Ben nodding in agreement as the Old Woman ignored what Vanessa says and reached behind her to pull out a pair of yellow metallic pair of gauntlets as the tips of the fingers are sharp and had the symbol of a lightning bolt located on the back of each gauntlet as Ben, Van, and Gwen stared at it with unimpressed looks.

"Gloves? What's so special about them, Miss?" Gwen asked as the Old Woman smiled at her widely and presented the Titan Gauntlets to the kids again.

"They're...uh...Lacrosse Gloves! Very powerful! What do you say?" The Old Woman asked as Gwen shakes her head boredly while Ben and Van proceed to go back to argue on who deserves to possess the Sumo Slammers Slushie Machine as the owner of the tent sweatdrops a bit. "Geez, tough customers."

"...and not a penny more!" Max exclaims while arguing with a shopkeeper about buying a rainbow snail plushie that's worth thirty bucks, but Max was able to haggle with the annoyed woman to buy the plushie for fifteen dollars and fifty cents as the old man raised the plushie up into the air in victory. "Ha, ha! Yes!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"MINE!"

"Oh, dear," Grandpa Max says as he shakes his head, feeling his Grandpa Sense tingling as he follows after the source of the loud ruckus and sweatdrops as he saw a shouting Ben and Van tugging on the Sumo Slammers Slushy Machine back and forth as an unamused Gwen and the confused Old Woman watched them as Max quickly run up to stop the fight.

"IT'S MY SLUSHY MACHINE, BEN! I BOUGHT IT!"

"YEAH! WITH HALF OF MY MONEY! NOW, GIVE IT!"

"NO!" Van shouted angrily while still tugging on the slushy machine as Ben growled and was about to push the slushy machine onto his side, but then both kids felt someone grabbing onto the back of their shirts as they were lifted up into the air and saw an angry, disapproving Max glaring down at them as they sweated nervously from his gaze.

"That's enough! What are you two arguing about this time?" Max asked, exasperated as Ben and Van opened up their mouths to speak up. "And calmly, please," Max added in as the kids closed their mouths and quickly opened them again as Ben and Van began arguing about each other.

"After Ben/Van, Gwen, and I spend several hours trying to buy something in the Swap Meet that we can both afford and like, we had finally found something that is really cool and affordable, and we had both agreed to buy it, but now Ben/Van is acting selfish and wants to hog it on her/his side of the RV when it rightfully belongs on my side of the RV!" Both Ben and Van shouted in unison, all in one breath, as Max did not fully understand a single word they said but got the gist of it as a stern look appeared on his face and the old man bends down to their eye level as he grabbed onto Ben and Van's shoulders.

"Alright, alright, kids, I had enough of this foolishness. I know that you two are still mad at each other, but if you two can't agree to share a simple slushie machine, then how are you two going to be able to fight crime together? Remember, kids, you're both supposed to be best friends and alien butt-kicking partners. Act like it." Max says both warmly and firmly as Ben and Van thought carefully about what he said and gained guilty looks as the Biomnitrix Wielders looks away awkwardly and rubbed their necks nervously as they turned to each other, and were about to apologize to each other, but were interrupted as a group of scared, screaming civilians runs past them, seeming to be running away from something as Van and the Tennyson Family blinked in confusion.

"What in the world?!" Grandpa Max asked with a raised eyebrow as multiple loud yells rang out, and everyone turned their heads as they saw that the whole Swap Meet was being invaded by a group of animated red-eyed, monster objects as they were wrecking the place, seeming to be looking for something as a nervous Max placed his arms over the kid's shoulders. "Maybe it's best we leave." Grandpa Max says as he was about to pull the kids away to safety but was stopped by Vanessa as she gasped and pointed behind them.

"Look! It's Hex!" Van shouted as everyone turned around and saw an annoyed Hex floating near a couple of stands as he was in the middle of a conversation with a pair of large, monstrous teddy bears.

"Why haven't you found them yet?!" Hex asked frustratedly/impatiently as the living toys shrugged, and Hex sighs heavily as he lets go of his staff, and it floated beside him while covered in a red glow as Hex then places his hands on his temples to rub his incoming headache. "Listen carefully, you simpletons," Hex says/insulted as he raised his glowing red hands and projected a magical image of the pair of yellow metallic pair of gauntlets from before as Ben, Van, and Gwen gasped in shock at the sight of the familiar image. "These are the Titan Gauntlets! They contain the power to raise mountains and flatten them back to the dust they came from! And I need them to enhance my already powerful magic so that I can have the ability to reshape the world!" Hex exclaimed madly as his minions nodded and began informing their comrades on what they specifically need to look for as Van and the Tennyson Family spied on them from afar.

"Oh, great, Hex is looking for another magical artifact to take over the world, shocker," Van says while rolling her eyes as Ben nodded.

"I know, right? We already stopped him from stealing ten magical artifacts the last few weeks. How many magical artifacts could be out there in the world?" Ben asked as Van nodded, and the kids shared a laugh as Max and Gwen smiled at this, happy to see them get along again as Gwen then gasped in realization once she remembered what Hex was looking for.

"Wait! Those gloves are from the booth! They're the Titan Gauntlets that Hex is trying to look for! We can't let him steal them, or else he will use them to take over the world!" Gwen exclaimed as Ben, and Van's eyes narrowed in determination.

"Not if we can help it! It's Hero Time!/It's time to Alien Up!" Ben and Van screamed as they look around to make sure that no one was looking at them before quickly running inside an empty, abandoned tent and closed the flaps as two flashes of green light can be seen inside.

"Quick! I know where the gloves are! Follow me!" Gwen yelled at Max, who nodded as the red-headed girl grabbed onto his arm and ran off as Grandpa Max followed after her.

"Leave no stone unturned! Bring me my Titan Gauntlets!" Hex shouted to his animated minions while grabbing onto his staff as they nodded and were about to leave when suddenly a barrage of pale green diamond shards appeared as they zoomed towards Hex at alarming speeds and caused the old magician to yelp in surprise as he raised his staff in front of them and twirled it around rapidly as he conjured a small red magical shield that protected him from the diamond shards and watches as they bounced off his shield and landed on the ground as Hex studied the small crystal and his eyes widen in shock before growing angrily as Hex realized where the crystals came from.

"SHOW YOURSELF, BOY! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE! COME AND FACE THE WRATH OF THE MOST POWERFUL SORCEROR IN THE WORLD!"

"Hey! Hex!" A loud voice rang out as Hex turns his head and growls at the sight of a familiar diamond-made alien as he glared at the old sorcerer with his arms crossed. The alien is 7-feet-tall, silicon-based lifeform with pupilless green eyes as his whole body is composed of highly durable pale green crystals, has a sharp point on the top of his head, sports two large crystal shards on his back, and his outfit consisted of a sleeveless black uniform with a green 'V' stripe on the middle of his torso as he also wears the Biomnitrix symbol on the middle of his chest. His name is Diamondhead, one of Ben's most versatile and powerful aliens. "Can you do me a favor and call off your attack early and give yourself up to the police? Van and I are kind of busy with a certain Sumo Slammer Slushie Machine, and you're interrupting us." Diamondhead says casually as Hex glared down at him fiercely.

"Well, do you and that stupid girl mind your own damn business and stop trying to foil my plans for world domination-Wait, where's the girl?" Hex says before looking around confusedly/warily as he wonders where Vanesa was since wherever the annoying Tennyson Boy appears, the Cunningham Girl is not too far off.

"Peek-a-boo!" A blue-hooded moth-like alien shouted behind him as a startled Hex turns around and grunted in pain as a see-through blue outline of a large alien appeared and delivered a brutal uppercut that sends the screaming Hex flying away as he had managed to find control of his flight and saw his attacker smirking up at him as her hood opened up and spread out wildly as they resembled like four huge wings.

The alien is a humanoid, 5-feet-tall, moth-like creature that has four large white wings and an antenna that can be folded up into a white hooded robe, giving her a phantom-like appearance as she has a black body with white patches on her arms/the back of her wings/shoulders/legs as the back of her head resembled ice chunks as each of her patches has a thick white outline, except for the ones on her wings which are outlined in black as there is also a black line that runs on the edge of the outer margin on the back of each wing.

On her torso are three white plates; one resembling the chest, a shorter plate under the chest, and one resembling the stomach. This alien also has a round face with white cheeks/underjaws, a mouth that always shows several large whitish teeth, large pupilless light blue eyes with dark blue spots on them, the top of her head also sports a white Y-shaped marking that extends over her scalp, has three pointed fingers and a thumb on each hand, two toes on each foot with a third toe-like extension on her ankles, and has the Biomnitrix symbol located above her right breast. Her name is Coldphase, Van's flying, and ice-wielding alien.

"Hey, Hex, why don't you cool off and stand down, or else we're going to have to give you the cold treatment," Coldphase says jokingly as each joke causes Hex to groan and roll his eyes as Diamondhead snorted in amusement and Coldphase turned over to him as she managed to give him a smug smirk. "Oh? Was that a snort I hear?"

"W-What?! No!" Diamondhead shouted defensively while turning away as Ben blushes sheepishly.

"Yeah, it was," Coldphase says teasingly as she flew down to Diamondhead and landed beside him as she closed up her wings, and they folded up as they wrapped around her body like a hood. "You laughed at my excellent jokes, even though you're angry at me, Benji," Coldphase says while smirking at him as she giggled with her breath being visible in the air as Diamondhead fumed at her in anger/embarrassment and turns around as he crosses his arms with a grumpy glare on his face.

"D-Did those lovebirds forgot that I was here?!" Hex asked in pure disbelief, angry at having the kids ignore him as Hex glares down at them and raised his glowing hand as he fired a magical blast down at them.

"Whoa! Look out!" Coldphase shouted as she placed her hands on Diamondhead's crystal body and managed to have enough strength to push him away as Coldphase quickly turns intangible, and the magical blast phased through her body as Van had manipulated her body to freeze the laser blast as it flies through her and grabbed it as she then tossed it at a surprised Hex.

"Aaghh!" Hex grunted in surprise as the giant icicle collided against his face and sends him flying away as he crashed landed down on a large tent. Seeing their master hurt and in danger, the monstrous teddy bears roared loudly as they charged at the duo and unleashed their claws as they were about to slash them, but the kids weren't even fazed by the danger as Diamondhead raises his hand and fires an onslaught of diamond shards that ripped the monstrous teddy bears to pieces.

"Is that all you got, Hexxy? A bunch of giant teddy bears? You have to do better than that to beat us!" Diamondhead shouted before charging at a downed Hex as Coldphase eyes widen in surprise at her friend's sudden action.

"Diamondhead! Wait!" Coldphase yelled as she tried to reach out to stop him, but it was too late as Diamondhead lowered his hands and fired two dual streams of crystals that propelled him into the air as the Petrosapien twirled around for a bit before forming two large crystal-like swords as Ben started falling head-first down at a groaning Hex, who laid on a small crater as Diamondhead raised his swords and was about to attack the Sorceror, but Hex won't let that happened as he recovered quickly and raised his glowing red staff as he conjured up a large magical bubble shield to protect himself from Diamondhead's attack.

"Whoa!" Diamondhead yelled out in surprise as he crashed landed onto the bubble shield and bounce off of it as he was sent flying through the air before crash landing near a tent where a shocked Gwen and Max could be seen as they were making their way to where the tent was selling the Titan Gauntlets, only to yelp in fright as they were nearly trampled by a flying Petrosapian.

"Hey!" Coldphase yelled at Hex angrily, furious at having the old sorcerer throw away her best friend like that as Coldphase opens up her wings and took off into the air as Van flew straight towards the wizard and took a deep breath as she blew a cold mist at Hex's magical bubble shield and froze it over as Coldphase approached it and threw a punch at it as she easily shattered the magical shield into pieces and rushed towards a surprised Hex as Coldphase rushed towards him and threw a punch at his face as Hex yelped in pain and was sent sprawling to the floor as he groans and shakily stood up as Hex touched his bruised cheek and grew furious as he turned over to glare at the asexual alien.

"Why, you little pest! How dare you lay your filthy hands onto me!" Hex shouted in pure anger with his eyes glowing blood red as he raised his staff again and fired multiple magical blasts at her as Colpdphase's eyes widen in surprise and quickly turns intangible to avoid the lethal attacks as she turns tangible again and then proceeds to make evasive aerial maneuvers as Hex continued trying to blast her out of the sky.

"Ugh, that hurts," Diamondhead says with Max and Gwen helping up to his feet as Diamondhead rubs his head and looks up as he saw Hex trying to shoot his alien partner and his eyes widen in surprise before glaring as he rushes towards the old sorcerer, ignoring the others' warnings to come back as Diamondhead raised his arm and morphed it to resemble a large diamond sword as Ben swiped at Hex, who yelped in surprise as he floated away quickly to avoid the attack and glared at Diamondhead as the crystal-based alien morphed his other hand into a diamond sword and raised his arms as Diamondhead charges at him and began swiping him multiple times.

"Annoying...alien...brat!" Hex yelled while barely being able to dodge Diamondhead's sword swipes as he then quickly teleports away in a red mist and appeared behind Diamondhead as he fires a large magical blast at him, but Ben was able to react quickly as he swiftly turns around and morphed his hands back to normal as he also simultaneously created a large diamond shield that protected him from Hex's magical attack.

"Ha! Too slow, Hex!" Diamondhead taunted with Hex glaring at him in annoyance as Coldphase sees that Hex is distracted and an idea popped into her head as Van smirks slyly and quickly swoops in to try and attack Hex while he and Ben were doing their little power struggle, but unfortunately for the asexual Necrofriggian, Hex spotted her as he turned towards Diamondhead and saw his magical blasts bouncing off his diamond shield as a plan began brewing on his head and Hex grinned maliciously as he chuckled.

"If you think that I'm getting slow because of my age, Benjamin, then try and catch this!" Hex screamed as he took a deep breath and then let out a loud battle cry as he fired a mega-sized magical energy blast at a surprised Diamondhead.

"Oh, geez!" Diamondhead shouted as he quickly deconstructs his shield and joined his arms together as he morphed his hands into a giant diamond shard that reflected the magical upwards as Ben smirked at Hex smugly. "Ha, ha, ha! You miss!"

"I wasn't aiming at you, Benjamin," Hex says with an evil grin on his face while pointing up as Diamondhead looked to where he was pointing, and his eyes widen in shock/fear as he saw Hex's magical energy blast heading towards a surprised Coldphase and the young girl couldn't turn intangible in time as it collided against her skinny frame, and Coldphase screeched out in fear as she was blasted out of the sky and crashed landed near a worried Gwen and Max as they ran up to check on her.

"Vanessa!" Diamondhead screamed worriedly as he then turned over to glare daggers at a grinning Hex and the ancient magician suddenly teleported away as he reappeared behind a shocked Ben and fired another mega-sized magical blast that propels a screaming Diamondhead forwards as he sailed through the air and headed straight towards an unsuspecting Coldphase as they collided against each other and crashed through several tents as they finally smashed against a large, sturdy tent as both aliens groaned in pain.

"Ben! Van!" Max and Gwen shouted concernedly as they ran up to the injured alien heroes and hovered over them with worried looks on their faces. "Are you two alright?"

"Yeah, we're fine...although we would've been fine if Ben didn't mess up!" Coldphase yelled at Diamondhead, wanting to give him a piece of his own medicine, as Ben stared at her in surprise.

"WHAT!?" Diamond asked, growing angry at being accused of messing up the battle as Max and Gwen shared knowing looks and decided to take a couple of steps back to not get in the middle of an argument between two superpowered aliens as Diamondhead glared down at his alien partner. "What do you mean it was my fault!?" Diamondhead asked with a glare as Coldphase narrowed her eyes up at the Petrosapien and used her ice manipulation to create two icicles under her legs that increased her height so that Van can glare at Ben face-to-face.

"Well, mister, if you haven't run off to fight Hex without making a plan with me, Hex wouldn't have kicked our butt!" Coldphase yelled as Diamondhead growled down at her in anger.

"Are you serious!? I was doing awesome until you butt in and ruined everything!"

"Need I remind you that I was doing way better against Hex and was landing some hits in, unlike you!"

"W-Well, at least, I wasn't blasted out of the sky like an idiot!"

"I got shot out of the sky because Hex reflected his energy blast off your diamond body!" Coldphase screamed into Diamondhead's face as she opened up her hood and her wings popped out as she flew up into the air to glare down at her alien partner. "Speaking off, why in the heck did you choose Diamondhead!? Why didn't you choose someone more useful like Wildvine or Overflow!?" Coldphase asked as Diamondhead huffed, getting tired at being nagged on as he places his hand on the floor and created a large diamond platform that raised him up to Coldphase's eye level as both aliens glared daggers at each other, not noticing a recovering Hex seeing both of them arguing as he stared at them curiously.

"I thought Diamondhead would be a good choice for this situation! And, besides, you want to talk about choosing the wrong alien? Then why did you choose Coldphase!? Hello! You have Fairytail! An alien girl that uses magic! Why don't you fight magic with magic, huh, Smartypants!?" Diamondhead yelled/insulted as Coldphase shrinks back sheepishly from his scream and blushes in embarrassment as she rubs her neck.

"I-I, uh...I didn't think of that, but if I had your Biomnitrix, I would've taken out Hex easily!"

"Well, if I had your Biomnitrix, I would've taken out Hex way faster than you!" Ben screamed as Van crossed her arms and rolled her eyes as she scoffs.

"Yeah, right! It took me forever to get a hang on my aliens, and I'm smarter than you, so there's no way you will be able to use them, Benjamin Kirby Tennyson!" Coldphase screamed as Diamondhead rolled his eyes and smirks smugly as he places his hands on his hips.

"Pssh, please! How hard can it be to control your aliens? Besides, someone as clumsy as you will never be able to use my aliens, Vanessa Agatha Cunningham!" Diamondhead yelled as he and Coldphase butted heads and growled at each other in anger as Grandpa Max and Gwen simply frowned at their arguing disapprovingly while Hex seems enthralled by it as he smiled sinisterly.

"Hmmm, interesting, it seems that my alien adversaries are having a bit of small lover's quarrel?" Hex says to himself curiously as he remembered what the kids were currently arguing about, and an idea popped into his head as Hex chuckled evilly, drawing everyone's attention as he slowly floated up into the air and raised his staff as he covered a shocked Coldphase and Diamondhead in a red glow.

"What the!?/Hey!" Coldphase and Diamondhead yelped in surprise as they were slowly levitated into the air and flew closer to a grinning Hex as his eyes glowed red.

"You know, kiddos, all of this fighting is not healthy for a relationship like yours." Hex says as Coldphase and Diamondhead would've shouted, 'We're not in a relationship!', if the magical glow holding them didn't cover their mouths. "I'm not really a therapist of any sorts, but I think I can help you two out settle your differences. Now, my first advice for you two is that you kids need to stop arguing with each other and think about how the other person feels, you know. Maybe, walk a mile in each other shoes? Hmmm, you know what? Why don't we try that out and see how you two will fair against me when you're in the wrong bodies!" Hex screamed while chuckling evilly as he summons his book, and both it and his body glowed bloody red as Hex raised his hands and clapped it loudly as the red aura covering the transformed kid's body joined together, and Coldphase and Diamondhead began screaming in pain as Hex grins mischievously and clapped his hands together again as Ben and Van suddenly gasped and gained emotionless looks as they stood completely still with their eyes glowing white as Hex then threw out his hands and shattered the red aura covering their body as Diamondhead and Coldphase were sent reeling back in shock as they fell onto the floor and closed their eyes, which stopped glowing white as they groaned in pain and their Biomnitrixes began blinking red as they changed back into their human forms with dual flashes of green lights.

"Ben! Ben, are you okay? You and Van took a real nasty fall/Van! Speak to me, girl! Are you hurt? Do you have any broken bones or anything?" Both Max and Gwen asked worriedly while rushing over to a seemingly unconscious Ben/Van as the Biomnitrix Wielders groaned and opened their eyes as they nodded.

"Yeah, I'm alright, Mr. Tennyson," Van/Ben says with a higher-pitched version of Ben's voice as Max raised an eyebrow at him oddly.

"Uh, Ben? Why did you call me, Mr. Tennyson? I'm Grandpa, remember?" Max says as it was Van/Ben's turn to stare at him confusedly.

"Uh, what? Mr. Tennyson, I don't want to sound mean, but I think you need to get your eyes checked. I'm not Ben. I'm Vanessa. I mean, do I look like a boy?" Van/Ben asked while gesturing at his body as he took a look at his hand...and his eyes widen in shock as Van/Ben realized that not only that his Biomnitrix was placed on the wrong arm, but it looked way more manish and muscular than before as Van/Ben quickly began inspecting his body and his eyes shrink down in realization as Van/Ben figured out that his soul was switched into Ben's body.

"Ugh, well, my head and back hurt a bit, but other than that, I'm alright, dweeb." Ben/Van says with a deeper version of Vanessa's voice as Gwen blinked at him in confusion.

"Um, Vanessa, why did you call me dweeb? That's something that only Ben calls me." Gwen says while helping Ben/Van up to his feet as the Biomnitrix Wielder laughed at what her cousin said.

"Well, duh, dweeb, I am Ben...wait, why did you call me Van?" Ben/Van asked as she raised her hand to point at Gwen confusedly...and gasped in surprise as she saw that not only her Biomnitrix was placed on the wrong arm, but it looked way skinnier and delicate than before as a bewildered Ben/Van began inspecting her body and tugged on Vanessa's blue hair as Ben/Van blinked, and her eyes shrink down in realization as Ben/Van slowly figured out that her soul was transferred over to Vanessa's body.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ben/Van and Van/Ben screamed loudly, starling Grandpa Max and Gwen as the Biomnitrix Wielders ran up to each other and studied each other before screaming again as they pointed at each other. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! I'M YOU! GROSS!" Ben/Van and Van/Ben shouted, completely freaked out about changing bodies with each other as a worried Max and Gwen ran up to them.

"Now, calm down, kids. I'm sure that we can-,"

"Calm down? CALM DOWN?! I'M STUCK IN A BEN'S BODY, AND BEN IS STUCK IN MY BODY! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO CALM DOWN!?" A panicking Van/Ben shouted while running up to Max as he grabbed onto his shirt and shook him a bit.

"I can't believe I'm in a girl's body! This can't be happening!" Ben/Van shouted, completely freaked out as she continued tugging on Van's blue hair and groaned as she raised his hands in frustration. "Van, why you have to have long hair!? It's so annoying to have your stupid blue hair hit my face every time I turn my head!" Ben/Van says while pointing at Van's pig-style blue hair as Van/Ben huffed and lets go of a dizzy Max as he turned over to glare at Ben/Van and placed his hands on her hips.

"Well, it's not exactly pleasant to be inside of your stinky body! I mean, seriously, Ben, do you ever take a bath!? What do you every time you go in the bathroom? Watch Youtube videos on your tablet in the toilet with the shower turned on to fool us into thinking that you're taking a bath?" Van/Ben asked sassily as Ben/Van flinched and looked away nervously as she rubs her neck awkwardly.

"No..." Ben/Van says as Van/Ben narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously but didn't have time to speak up as Gwen came in between them.

"Save it, you two! Stop arguing and calm down! Grandpa and I promised that we will fix this, but we can't do it if you two keep fighting each other, got it!?" Gwen asked, exasperated as the Biomnitrix Wielders shared a look and nodded somberly as Max steps up.

"Gwen's right. We fight Hex, not each other. Now, come on, let's go and find the Titan Gauntlets."

"Okay, Grandpa/Got it, Mr. Tennyson." Both Ben/Van and Van/Ben said in unison as they then turned around to ran off, and Max and Gwen watched them go oddly as they turned to each other.

"This is going to get some getting used to," Gwen says, still weirded out that her cousin and friend switched bodies as Max nodded in agreement before running off to chase after the Biomnitrix Wielders as Gwen rushed after him.

---

A few minutes later, we see the gang sneaking along the stands to avoid facing Hex's magical wrath as the Biomnitrix Wielders poked their heads out of from the stand and saw the tent where the Titan Gauntlets were being sold as they beamed and alerted the others that they had found the magical artifacts as Ben/Van and Van/Ben got out of their hiding spots and ran towards the tent as Gwen and Max did the same and followed after the body switched kids as the group looked through the various items placed in the stand, but couldn't find the Titan Gauntlet as a serious Grandpa Max glances down to the kids.

"All right, kids, what do they look like?"

"They had weird lightning bolt symbols on the back of the gloves." Van/Ben says as Ben/Van shakes her head.

"No, they don't! They have claws and metal knuckles on each finger!"

"Oh my god, the Titan Gauntlet both had weird lightning bolt symbols on the back of the gloves, and claws and metal knuckles on each finger, alright?! Geez, do you two still have to be fighting about everything? It's getting old real quick." Gwen says, getting genuinely annoyed at their bickering as the Biomnitrix Wielders shrinks back at what she said guiltily and looks down as they were about to speak up, but were interrupted by Max as he had walked up to the kids while holding onto the Titan Gauntlets.

"You guys mean like these?" Max asked as the kids beamed and nodded as the old man looked at the pricetags...and sweatdrops at what he sees as Max scratched his head in confusion. "Huh? These things are only worth forty bucks? Hmmm, these things better be powerful for being so cheap."

"Oh, they are very powerful!" The Old Woman from before says while walking out of the shadows as the group was kind of creeped out how she just appeared out of nowhere but didn't think much about it as the Vendor narrowed her eyes at Max mischievously. "It sounds like I'm dealing with a real pro. Hmmm, how about I sell you these Titan Gauntlets for about...thirty-five dollars?" She asked as Max blinks before grinning cockily as he walked up to her.

"Oh, I'm just getting warmed up! How about-,"

"Grandpa, we don't have time for you to haggle her to lower the price range!" Ben/Van yelled while waving her arms around frantically as Van/Ben nodded in agreement.

"Yeah! Hex could be here any minute now! We need the Titan Gauntlets asap!" Van/Ben shouted as Max gave the old vendor that says, 'Give a minute to talk to the kids', before turning to the kids as he leans in to whisper in their ears.

"I know that we're in a hurry, kids, but the problem is that I don't have forthy dollars to buy the gloves," Max says, surprising the Biomnitrix Wielders. "I had given the majority of my money for the day to you, kids, so give me a few minutes to-,"

"Here you go," Gwen says to the Old Woman calmly while handing the vendor her forty bucks as she smiled widely and eagerly grabbed the money as she carelessly tossed the Titan Gauntlets over to the red-headed little girl.

"Here, take it." The Old Woman says as Gwen quickly caught the Titan Gauntlets and stared down at it in awe as she noticed that the gauntlets were glowing a bit.

"Gwen, why did you do that? You didn't have to give away your forty bucks to buy the Titan Gauntlets, sweetie. I would've been able to convince her to lower the price to at least twenty dollars." Grandpa Max says to his granddaughter reassuringly as Gwen turned over to him and waves off his worry.

"I know, Grandpa, but we don't have time to wait because Hex can be here any second now. We needed to get the Titan Gauntlets as fast as we can...besides if these things are really as powerful as Hex says, then that means if I wear them, I will finally have superpowers!" Gwen squealed happily while hugging the Titan Gauntlets close to her chest as Ben/Van groans.

"Aww, I wanted to wear them."

"Ben, we already have superpowers, remember? We don't really need the Titan Gauntlets since we already something better." Van/Ben says as he gestured at their Biomnitrixes, and Ben/Van sighs as she nodded.

"Oh, yeah? Well, let's see which powers are better after I give these babies a test drive!" Gwen exclaimed with a big grin on her face as she slips on her Titan Gauntlets and, after putting them on, Gwen felt a powerful surge of magic course through her body as Gwen shivered a bit before recovering as she flexed her hands to get a good feel on the gauntlets and wondered how to activate them as she stared down at the magical artifacts curiously.

"Hmmm, I wonder..." Gwen says thoughtfully as she raised her arms and slowly before slamming her fists together as a huge golden glow covered her small body, and Gwen gasped in awe at this before suddenly yelping in surprise as Gwen started slowly levitating into the air and everyone, including a very shocked Vendor, watched in amazement/wonder as golden bright energy emitted from her Titan Gauntlets and they formed into multiple golden energy tendrils as they wrapped around her body and a large golden light occurred.

"Aargh!" Everyone exclaimed in shock and in pain as they covered their eyes by the bright light and, after it started subsiding, the gang opened their eyes as they were surprised to see a more slightly taller Gwen floating before them as she was a bit more muscular than before and her hair was now white with a golden lightning symbol on it as her hair reaches down to her waist, and her outfit consisted of a huge white toga that reaches down to her legs, a golden headband, her Titan Gauntlets, golden armbands on both her arms/legs, has a golden lighting symbol on her chest, and wore golden sandals. Gwen had now transformed into her Titan Form...well, she hasn't come up with a name for her new super form yet.

"Huh?" Hex asked confusedly as he spotted a golden light emitting from the other side of the Swap Meet, and his eyes widen in realization as he smirks evilly and eagerly flew towards the source of the light as he chuckled evilly under his breath.

"...Okay, now I kind of wished that we had grabbed the gauntlets now," Van says, feeling jealous of Gwen's new powers, as Ben nodded in agreement.

"Whoa! This is so cool!" Gwen exclaimed while slowly floating back onto the ground as she inspected her new outfit and appearance as she giggled in excitement.

"Uh, sweetie, are you okay?" Max asked, worried for his granddaughter as Gwen turned over to smirk at him confidently/smugly.

"Never better, Granda! I feel great! Strong! Powerful!" Gwen exclaimed happily as she suddenly crouches down and begins leaping across the ground like an acrobatic as she then jumped up and twirled around as Gwen landed on a stand and a shocked Vendor moved away from her as Gwen cheered. "Whoo-hoo! With these Titan Gauntlets, I feel like I can do anything! Is this how you guys feel when you wear your Biomnitrixes?" Gwen asked her cousin and friend as, although they were still bitter that Gwen got to wear the cool Titan Gauntlets, they were genuinely happy that Gwen got to have a taste of how it feels to have superpowers and smiled up at the excited little girl as they nodded

"Yeah, totally." Ben/Van says with Van/Ben nodded in agreement as Gwen cheered again and backflipped onto the ground as she then calms down enough to place her hand on her chin thoughtfully and hums.

"Alright, alright, before I fight Hex, I should probably learn what these Titan Gauntlets can really do."

"Well, from what we've seen so far, you can fly and project a huge golden-like aura." Van/Ben informed his friend as Gwen beams.

"Ooh, I can fly!? I have to try that out!" Gwen says as she slaps her cheeks to psyche herself up and runs off as she leaps up high into the air and actually manages to stay airborne for a couple of seconds...before falling down as she fell face-first onto the ground.

"Gwen! Are you okay?" Everyone, minus the Vendor as she had stayed behind to watch everything from afar, asked concernedly while running up to a groaning Gwen as she had sat up from the floor and rubs her head as she nodded.

"Yeah, I'm alright. I guess I can't exactly fly right now. I guess I have to practice first." Gwen says while laughing sheepishly as the Biomnitrix Wielders nodded knowingly and laughed.

"Yeah, it took me forever to learn how to fly as Stinkfly. Remember my first few tries?" Ben/Van asked as everyone had a small flashback where Ben transformed into Stinkfly and tries to fly but got stuck in some tree branches as the kids laughed.

"He, he, yeah, and remember my first time flying as Fairytail?" Van/Ben asked with a giggle as everyone had another small flashback where Van transformed into Fairytail and tried to fly, but accidentally got her tail stuck in the Rust Bucket's door as she yelped in surprise and tripped down into the floor comically as the kids laughed again, and Max smiled at this slightly as he was happy to see the kids getting along again.

"Okay, okay, let's see what else I can do. Hmmm, I seem to be way more durable than before because I didn't suffer any kind of injury from my fall, so it's clearly obvious that I have Super Durability. Let's try to see if I have Super Strength like Four Arms and Tricetaurus." Gwen says as she stood up and grabbed onto the Biomnitrix Wielders as she easily lifts them up to the floor before placing them down as Gwen then walked over to Max and picked him up with ease as Gwen grins. "Cool! I'm super strong!" Gwen says while placing Max down as she then stares down at her gauntlets curiously. "Hey, Van, you said something about me projecting light, right? Well, let's see if I can shoot laser beams out of my hands."

"Oh, yeah, do it, do it, do it!" Ben/Van and Van/Ben chanted eagerly as Gwen held out her arms and closes her eyes in concentration as she tries to shoot out a laser from her hands...only to receive a couple of flimsy sparks of light as everyone groans in disappointment.

"Aww, looks like I have to learn how to use that power later on...oh, well, Super Strength and Super Durability have to do for now," Gwen says while flexing her muscles as a worried Van/Ben places his hand on her shoulder.

"Whoa, Gwen, don't pull a Ben and get a hothead. It takes more than just superpowers to fight supervillains." Van/Ben says as Gwen grows somber and nodded in understatement as it was her turn to give him a concerned look.

"I understand, Ben-I mean, Van, but are you and Van-I mean, Ben is going to be okay fighting against Hex? You both had not only switched bodies but aliens as well, so how are you two going to be able to fight with using different aliens?" Gwen asked as Ben/Van rolled her eyes and smirked smugly as she crossed his arms.

"Don't worry, Gwen. Your cousin got this. Besides, using Van's aliens shouldn't be that different from using my aliens." Ben/Van says cockily as she activated Van's Biomnitrix and scrolled through her alien playlist as an icon of Fairytail appeared on the faceplate. "Watch this! I'm going to fight magic with magic!" Ben/Van shouted as she slammed her hand down on the dial and a big green glow appeared as we see Ben/Van transforming...not into Fairytail as she had transformed into a small, cute-looking alien as Ben/Van looks down at her alien form in surprise/annoyance.

Ben/Van had now transformed into a 3-feet-tall, humanoid, adorable, female alien as she has dark green eyes with light green pupils as she has a short, slim built, three white fins-like growths attached to her head and had purple scrunchies attached to them, three green gem-like extended sensory nodes on her forehead, two small whiskers placed on each of her cheeks, light white skin with a black/white head and face, black shoulders, large hands with four sharp fingers, extra green gem-like extended sensory nodes located on her shoulders/wrists, two small feet with three cat-like toes on each foot, has the Biomnitrix symbol located on her stomach, and her outfit consisted of a long dark purple dress with long black sleeves, a back choker, a huge black belt placed in the middle of her dresses, and black shoes that were cut off to reveal her feet. Her name is-

"Split?! Aww, man! What a ripoff! I wanted Fairytail!" The newly named Split groans out in frustration as Van/Ben smirked at her smugly.

"Ha, ha! As always, you got the wrong alien, Ben! Now, step back and watch how a real pro handles this. Going Wildvine!" Van/Ben exclaimed as he activated his Biomnitrix and circles through his playlist before finding Wildvine's icon as he grins and selected it as the core popped out and Van/Ben slammed his hand down on it as a big green glow appeared, and we see that Van/Ben had transformed into-

"Wildvi-Wait, Stinkfly!?" Stinkfly yelled before reeling back in shock as he was surprised to see that he had transformed into Stinkfly.

"Real pro, huh? Psssh! Yeah, right!" Split says, rather sassily as she placed her hands on her hips and Stinkfly glared down at her and grumbled angrily as he was about to retort, but their conversation was interrupted by Hex as he appeared floating above them and was surprised to see that not only did his enemies found the Titan Gauntlets, but Gwen was wearing it as Hex grew angry and raised his staff as he fired a magical red energy blast at a surprised Gwen.

"Whoa, Gwen, look out!" Stinkfly shouted as he flapped his wings rapidly and flew off as he managed to grab onto a yelping Gwen and flew off into the air...only to then lose control of his flight as he crashed landed down below.

"Gwen! Van!" Split yelled worriedly before yelping in shock as Hex fired more magical blasts down at her, forcing Split to involuntarily split herself in half to avoid the attack...pun intended.

"Whoa! You're me!" Split 1 says as Split 2 stares at her in wonder.

"And you're me also! Huh, so this is how it feels to have a clone? This is cool!" Split 2 exclaimed before screaming in pain as Hex had managed to hit her with a magical blast while she was distracted as it sends Split 2 flying away, and Split 1 yelped in pain as she falls down and held her stomach from where Hex had previously blasted Split 2 as Split 1 winces.

"Ow! Not cool anymore!" Split 1 says as Hex continued attacking her and the Splixon's screamed in fear as Split 1 ran up to help Split 2 up to her feet, and they proceed to run away as Hex chased after them.

"Ugh, okay, flying as Stinkfly is way more different than Fairytail or Coldphase," Stinkfly says while sitting up from the floor as Gwen did the same and rubs her head as she turned to the male Lepidopterran.

"Quick, Stinkfly, Split needs our help!" Gwen says as Stinkfly noticed a pair of screaming Splits running away from Hex, and turned back to Gwen as he nodded and grabbed onto her friend as she closed her eyes in concentration and grunted as Stinkfly flapped his wings rapidly and they took off into the air as, although they were flying through the sky quite clumsily, Stinkfly had managed to fly them to a distracted Hex, and the duo shared a determined, sharp nod as Stinkfly grabbed onto Gwen and then proceeds to toss her over to Hex.

"Hey! Hex!" Gwen shouted, startling the ten-thousand-year-old Sorceror as he turns around and saw a flying Gwen heading straight towards him as her eyes suddenly glowed golden yellow, and Gwen gripped her fists tightly as they sparkled with yellow electricity. "You want these gauntlets?! Well, you have to face the wrath of Titan Girl first!" Gwen says, coming up with a new name for her super form, as Titan Girl raised her sparkling fist and delivered a brutal, electrical punch into Hex's jaw as a huge yellow shockwave rang out and sends a screaming Hex flying away as he crashed through three stands and dissapeared from sight as Titan Girl begins falling down to the ground, but was luckily saved by Stinkfly as he swoops in and snatched her as they flew over to a panting Split 1 and 2.

"Thanks for the help, girls." Split 1 says thankfully as Split 2 nodded.

"Yeah, if you two didn't show up, we're sure that we would've been blasted off from the face of the Earth!" Split 2 says as Stinkfly and Titan Girl smiled and nodded as a loud roar rang out, and the group saw a huge red pillar of magical energy emerging several feet away from them as they saw a really pissed-off Hex floating in the air and glared down at them as he charged at the trio.

"Split up!" Titan Girl screamed as a nervous Split 1 and 2 proceeds to duplicate themselves up to four. "Not literally, doofus! Separate!" Titan Girl commanded as everyone nodded, and quickly separated as Split 1 and 2 jumped onto Stinkfly's back as they flew off in one direction and Titan Girl and Split 3 and 4 ran off to the other direction as Hex appeared and looks between two groups as he decided to chase after Gwen and the clones as the Sorceror chased after Titan Girl and the Splits.

"Ben! Gwen and your clones are in danger!" Stinkfly shouted as she and Split saw Hex chasing after a screaming Titan Girl and Split clones as Stinkfly then turned two of her eyes up to Split while her other eyes kept an eye on the sky so that they wouldn't crash against something. "Look, Ben, I know we're having a fight and everything, but if we need to take out Hex, we need to work together and help each other use our aliens to beat up Hex! Are you in?" Stinkfly asked as Split thinks about it for a second before smirking as she nodded.

"I'm in! Let's show this magical punk some alien power!" Split exclaimed while pumping his fist as Stinkfly grinned and nodded as they turned around to fly after Hex. "Alright, you might want to shoot Hex in the back with some Stinkfly glow to distract him!"

"Alright, sure, I can do that...but how, though?" Stinkfly asked as Split begins to think.

"Well, you know the feeling you get when you have to sneeze really badly? Well, when I'm Stinkfly, I always have the same feeling whenever I shoot out streams of slime. Maybe you should try the same thing?" Split asked as Stinkfly's face goes green and gags.

"Ewww, gross, but okay, I will try, I guess," Stinkfly says as she reared back her eyes and, much to her surprise, managed to shoot out multiple streams of goo that impacted against a surprised Hex's back and sends him flying back a bit as he turned back to glare at the flying duo.

"Why, you filthy disgusting bug!" Hex screamed in anger as he flew after to fight them and the Biomnitrix Wielders flinched as Split looks down at Stinkfly.

"Quick! How do I use Split powers?!" Split asked as Stinkfly begins to think.

"Well, uh, whenever I'm Split, and I want to duplicate, I always imagine myself ripping myself in half, kind of like when you rip a piece of paper in half. Why don't you try duplicating with that image in your head?" Stinkfly suggested as Split nodded.

"Got it, I will try that." Split says as she closed her eyes and hums in concentration as she then swiftly opened them and leaps off Stinkfly's back, much to his surprise as Split was flying towards Hex and quickly began duplicating herself up to five as all of the Split clones crashed landed onto a surprised Hex's body with the Original Split landing on the Sorceror's face as Hex muffled yells could be heard, and he struggled to get the annoying Splixon's from off of his body.

"Hey, Gwen-I mean, Titan Girl, look!" Split 4 says as she stopped running and pointed behind her as the others skids to a halt and saw the rest of the Split clones ganging up on a frustrated Hex as Titan Girl gets an idea and smirks as she looks down at the clones.

"Split's, quick! Toss me at him!" Titan Girl exclaimed as Split 3 and 4 blinks before grinning as they realized what her cousin was planning, and nodded as they had duplicated themselves up to four and Split 3, 4, 5, and 6 grabbed onto Titan Girl and grunted as they tossed the small, red-headed girl up to the air and was heading straight towards Hex as Titan Girl pulls back her arm. "Eat fist, Hex!" Titan Girl shouted as a surprised Hex turned to her and was too slow to react as Gwen delivers another brutal punch at Hex's face with Split 1 quickly jumping off before Gwen punched her as Hex screamed in pain and grunted as Titan Girl grabbed onto his robe and drags him down into the ground as they started falling down towards the group of Split clones.

"Hey, Split! Let's give this creep the slingshot special!" Stinkfly yelled while flying down towards the alien duplicates as Split 3, 4, 5, and 6 nodded and duplicated themselves up to ten as they grunted and formed themselves into a ball shape as Stinkfly reared back her hands and blasted four streams of goo that latched onto the Split Ball as Stinkfly grabbed onto their gooey streamlines and grunted in effort as he began twirling them around and then slammed the Split Ball against Hex as Titan Girl and the Spit Clones quickly let go of Hex and jumps down before the Split Ball hits them as Hex screamed in pain and was sent flying away as Stinkfly, Titan Girl, and all of the Split clones landed/floated off the ground as they grinned at their victory and shared a high-five as they cheered.

"Great work, team!" Split, and her clones exclaimed as Stinkfly turned over to Gwen.

"Also, I forgot to mention, nice punches earlier, Titan Girl," Stinkfly said as Titan Girl smiled up at her friend.

"Thanks, Van." Titan Girl says, but then she and the others yelped in surprise as streams of red magic appeared and wrapped around their bodies, trapping them as the magical bonds forcefully caused Split and all of her clones to merged together as all of the kids struggled to break free from their bonds but stopped as a furious Hex appeared with his spellbook floating beside him as he glared down at the superpowered kids.

"I have ENOUGH of these games, children! Give me my Titan Gauntlets!" Hex ordered threateningly as the kids glared up at him defiantly.

"Yeah, I don't think so, Hex! These gloves are mine!" Titan Girl exclaimed before gasping in shock/horror as Hex raised his staff and covered Gwen's Titan Gauntlets with a red glow as he had telekinetically removed them from her hands, and a golden light covered her body as Gwen had transformed back into her normal form.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Gwen, Stinkfly, and Split shouted in unison as Hex levitated the Titan Gauntlets over to him and the eager Sorceror quickly puts them on as Hex felt a powerful surge of magic coursing through his body, and the old Magician gasped softly as his eyes glowed way brighter than before and Hex slammed his fists together as a huge golden glow covered his skinny body and Hex gasped in amazement at this before suddenly yelping in surprise as golden bright energy emitted from his Titan Gauntlets and they formed into multiple golden energy tendrils as they wrapped around his body and a large golden light occurred.

Once the light disappears, everyone was horrified/shocked to see Hex floating above them with a more muscular built than before as he had long flowing white hair with a golden lightning symbol on it as his new hair reaches down to his feet, his body was covered in a deep bloody red glow as he now had pupilless dark red eyes, and his outfit consisted of a huge white robe/hood that reaches down to his legs, golden talismans under his neck, his Titan Gauntlets, golden armbands on both his arms/legs, has a golden lighting symbol on his chest, a black cloth that resembles a belt, and long golden socks that don't cover his heels or toes. Hex had now transformed into his Titan Form...Titan!

"WHOA! I CAN FEEL IT!" Titan exclaimed loudly as he flew higher into the air, and his arms glowed bright red with his hands sparkling with yellow electricity as the clouds above them darkened, and red/yellow lightning rained down from the sky as Titan laughed crazily. "THE POWER OF A THOUSAND GODS COURSING THROUGH MY VEINS!" Titan shouted, going mad with power as he started recklessly blasting everything in sight and caused all nearby civilians to run away as a magical blast was about to hit the shocked Old Vendor, but thankfully Max rushed over to her and tackled the old woman out of the way as Hex continued destroying the Swap Meet with a power-hungry look on his face as he laughed evilly.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH HIM!?" Both Stinkfly and Split in complete shock over the Sorceror's out of control rampage as Hex was usually calm and calculative when they confront him and only destroy things if it furthers his goal of global domination, but now, Hex had become completely bonkers as he was destroying random things for the heck out of it!

"It must be the gloves! The power coming from the Titan Gauntlets must've corrupted his mind!" Gwen exclaimed as Split stared at her confusedly.

"But that doesn't make sense. Why didn't the Titan Gauntlets corrupted your mind?" Split asked as Gwen shrugs.

"Don't know, maybe it's because I have a pure heart or whatever. Anyway, since I have lost my powers, it's up for you two to save the day," Gwen says as Split gave her a solemn look.

"Easier said than done, cus, how are we going to defeat Hex when he's this powerful!" Split says as Stinkfly begins to think and gasped as an idea popped into his head.

"By fighting magic with magic!" Stinkfly says, repeating what Ben had said earlier as the rest of the kids pondered about what he said.

"Well, maybe using Fairytail could work, but with Hex amped up like this, Fairytail might need an upgrade in order to defeat Hex," Gwen says as Split eyes widen in realization.

"Gwen! That's it! Van, you're thinking what I'm thinking?" Split asked Stinkfly as his eyes also widen in realization and grinned as he nodded, and the Biomnitrix Wielders began trying to reach their Biomnitrix symbols to quick-change back into their normal forms, but can't reach them thanks for their hands being tied up as the kids groaned in annoyance.

"Great, how are we going to break free out of these things to enact our plan?" Stinkfly asked as Gwen eyed them oddly.

"What plan?" Gwen asked as Split started thinking of a way to break free out of Hex's magical bonds and an idea popped into her head as she grinned and turned over to her cousin.

"Don't worry, Gwen. You will see in a second. Vanessa! Heads up!" Split yelled as she moved her head forwards harshly and made another duplicate appear in mid-air as she flew towards a shocked Stinkfly and balls up her fist as she punched Stinkfly's Biomnitrix symbol and changed him back to his human form as Hex's magical bonds could no longer hold him due to Van/Ben's smaller size and dissapeared from sight as Van/Ben smirked down at a grinning Split 2.

"Nice thinking, Benji!" Van/Ben yelled as Split 1 and 2 nodded with a smirk.

"Thank's Van," Split 1 and 2 said in unison as the original, which was trapped by Hex's bonds, dissapeared into a flash of green light and was reabsorbed into Split's body as she then slammed her hand down on her Biomnitrix symbol and changed back into her human form with a flash of green light.

"You ready?" Ben/Van asked while activating Vanessa's Biomnitrix as she had dialed up for Fairytail.

"Always." Van/Ben says as he activated Ben's Biomnitrix and dialed up for Stinkfly as the kids began running to each other.

"It's Fusion Time!" The kids shouted as they jumped up and smack their gauntlets together as a green glow appeared, and Gwen closed her eyes from the bright light as she slowly opened them and gasped in shock as she saw a fusion of Fairytail and Upgrade floating in mid-air as she grinned at the shocked little girl cockily.

The fusion alien has Fairytail's body, but with Upgrade's characteristics as she has two emerald green circles planted on her face that acts as her eyes, long spikey pink energy-like hair that was tied up into two pigtails, pointy ears, no nose, a small mouth with a purple tongue inside as it has several purple stripes that resemble circuitry, violet purple skin that had had a blue/black exterior on her head/shoulders/arms/legs as it has purple stripes traveling across them, resembling circuitry as she also has two green holographic butterfly-like wings, has the Biomnitrix symbol planted above her breasts, and, weirdly enough, has a lion-like tail. Ben and Van had now transformed into their combined female fusion of Fairytail and Upgrade named...

"Fairygrade!" The newly named Fairygrade shouted as her butterfly-like wings glowed brightly, and the fusion alien floated higher into the air as Gwen's eyes widen briefly in realization and smiled up at the hybrid alien brightly.

"Ooh! Combining both magic and technology together to defeat Hex? Great idea, guys!" Gwen praised as Fairygrade smiled and nodded to her appreciatively as Gwen's eyes widen in shock/horror and numbly pointed ahead as Fairygrade turned around and gasped sharply as she saw a laughing Titan floating in the air with his hands raised as he conjured up a huge, red, sparkling, glowing energy ball above him and proceed to toss it as the orb easily powered through nearly half the surviving stands in the Swap Meet before suddenly bouncing up into the air as the giant magical ball collided against a small snowy mountain and caused a massive explosion that easily destroyed the mountain entirely as the duo eyes widen shock at what they see.

"Holy shit!" Fairygrade cursed while placing her hands on her head as Gwen was so stunned by what she sees that she didn't scold them for cursing. "Those gloves are too powerful! I need to shut them down!" Fairygrade says before flinching as she turned over to give her cousin/friend an apologetic look. "Gwen, I'm sorry. I know you really love having superpowers, but-"

"Don't worry about me, guys. Just do what you have to do." Gwen says while giving them a reassuring look as, although she loved having superpowers like the others for a change, Gwen was mature enough to know that her friends NEED to shutdown the Titan Gauntlets before anyone gets hurt.

"THE POWER! IT'S SO INTOXICATING! HAHAHAHA!" Titan shouted into the heavens as he started laughing like a crazy man on drugs and raised his hands as he started conjuring up another magical energy ball, but this one easily dominated the last one in sheer size as Hex's magical ball looks like to be the size of a three-story mansion!

"HE'S GONE MAD WITH POWER! HE'S GOING TO DESTROY THE CITY!" The Old Vendor shouted with the look of pure horror/anguish on her face as Max stood beside her protectively.

"FAIRYGRADE! SHUTDOWN THE TITAN GAUNTLETS BEFORE WE GET BLOWN UP TO KINGDOM COME!" Gwen screamed loudly as Fairygrade nodded firmly and turned over to glare at Titan in determination as she closed her eyes and raised her hands as small magical/technological circles appeared and giant green/pink/purple/black tentacles popped out of them as they swiftly reached over to a still laughing Hex and hooked onto his Titan Gauntlets as Fairygrade sticks out her tongue in concentration and continued casting/performing her magical/technological spell/program as the fusion alien had managed to successfully shut down the Titan Gauntlets, much to Titan's surprise as he noticed that his magical energy ball had started to die down and Hex roared in rage as he felt his new powerful magic disappearing from his body and soon enough a golden glow covered his body as Hex had changed back into his normal form.

"No...no...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hex angered/rageful scream out into the heavens as he suddenly grows weak and moans in pain as he slowly closed his eyes, which stopped glowing red as he fell down into the ground and crashed landed into the floor as he dropped his spellbook, and Gwen cheered as she was freed from her bonds and landed onto the ground as Max ran up to Hex and grabbed the spellbook as he opens it and begins reading the book.

"Namala!" Grandpa Max chanted while raising his hand towards a now unconscious Hex as red energy whips appeared below him and wrapped around his body, trapping him as Gwen and Fairygrade ran/flew up/down to Grandpa Max.

"Nice one, Grandpa!" Fairygrade says before reaching up to touch her Biomnitrix symbol as a huge flash of green light occurred, and we see the fusion becoming undone as the kids had quick-changed back into their human forms.

"Thanks, kids. Now to get you two switched back into your normal bodies!" Max says as he looks down at Hex's spellbook and had managed to locate the right spell to switch the kid's bodies as he clears his throat.

"S-Seeyu...Pacho...Torahktoh!" Grandpa Max chanted with his body glowing bright red as he raised his hands and fired an energy magical blast at the kids, covering them in a bright red magical aura as they gasped softly at the familiar sensation running through their body and soul as Ben/Van and Van/Ben gritted their teeth in pain and slowly, reflexively held each other hands as they suddenly gained emotionless looks and stood completely still with their eyes glowing white as Max then mimicked what Hex did earlier and threw out his hands as the old man shattered the red aura covering their bodies as Ben/Van and Van/Ben were sent reeling back in shock as they fell onto the floor and closed their eyes, which stopped glowing white as they groaned in pain.

"Ben/Vanessa! Are you two alright?" Max and Gwen said in unison as the old Tennyson dropped Hex's spellbook onto the floor, and the duo ran up to the Biomnitrix Wielders as they help them up to their feet just as the kids started waking up as they nodded.

"Yeah, Grandpa. I'm alright/I'm okay, guys, don't worry." Both Ben and Van said in unison as their eyes then widen in shock and slowly turned to stare at each other for a few seconds...before smiling brightly as they cheered. "WHOO-HOO! WE'RE BACK IN OUR ORIGINAL BODIES!" The Biomnitrix Wielders shouted as a happy Vanessa leaped onto Ben's arms, and he caught her as Ben twirled her around, and the kids laughed as Grandpa Max and Gwen smiled at the scene warmly.

"Well, it's finally nice to see you two getting along again."

"And hopefully for good this time," Gwen added nervously as Ben and Van hears what they said as they turned to each other and gained guilty looks on their faces as Ben places Vanessa down and gave her an apologetic frown.

"Vanessa, after everything that happened today, I'm sorry for acting like a jerk to you all day. I was totally acting like an immature brat, and I shouldn't have blamed you for letting those bank robbers run away. I now know that it isn't your fault for us losing them." Ben says earnestly as Van stared at him quietly before smiling a bit as she walked over to grab his hand and squeezed it reassuringly as she beams at him.

"Thanks for saying that, Ben, and I want to say that I'm also sorry for acting mean to you too, Ben," Vanessa says while looking down guiltily as she sighs heavily. "I was just so angry that you blamed me for letting those thieves get away last night that I took my anger out on you, but I'm at least happy that we're not fighting anymore. I always hate it when we're at each other throats."

"Me too," Ben says before yelping in surprise as Van hugs him, and the Biomnitrix Wielder blushes slightly but smiled as he hugged her back.

"Awwww!" Gwen and Grandpa Max cooed as the kids realized that they were watching them and blushes in embarrassment as they separated and laughed at them sheepishly as they rubbed their necks awkwardly and tried to come up with excuses on what they saw, but were interrupted by a groaning Hex as he started waking up from his unconscious state.

"W-What's going on? Where am I?" Hex asked groggily, briefly forgetting what happened earlier due to the Titan Gauntlets manipulating his mind, as the near-conscious Sorceror looks down, and his eyes widen in shock as Hex realized that he was bonded by his own magic. "Wha the-Who did this!? Who dares trap someone as powerful as me..." Hex says before trailing off as he finally spotted the Titan Gauntlets that were still strapped onto his wrists and his eyes widen in shock/horror as he remembered everything that happened once he put those magical artifacts on and screamed like a little girl as Hex frantically squirmed around and manages to take off the Titan Gauntlets as the powered down magical objects fell next to Van and the Tennyson Family and a freaked out Hex fell onto the ground as he started dragging himself away from the Titan Gauntlets.

"GET THOSE CURSED GAUNTLETS AWAY FROM ME!" Hex yelled, surprising everyone as they had never heard him so scared before. "THOSE BLASTED THINGS NEARLY CORRUPTED MY MIND AND SOUL! IF I HAD WORN THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE LONGER, THEN I WOULD'VE BEEN WAY TOO FAR LONG TO RETURN BACK TO MY NORMAL SELF! THOSE THINGS ARE WAY TOO POWERFUL FOR ME TO WEAR! GET THEM AWAY FROM ME! GET THEM AWAY FROM ME!" Hex screamed fearfully as he continued dragging himself from the Titan Gauntlets like a frightened child before collided against a couple of feet as he looked up and saw a couple of glaring policemen glaring down at him as Hex beams at the sight of them. "OH, GOOD GRACIOUS, YOU'RE HERE! QUICK! TAKE ME AWAY! LOCK ME UP! WHATEVER! JUST TAKE ME AWAY FROM THOSE CURSED TITAN GAUNTLETS!" Hex screamed as the policeman eyed him oddly, confused on why he was so happy at being arrested as they shrugged and bends down to grab him as they started dragging Hex away into a cop car, and they threw him inside as the police officers then got into their vehicle and drove off as they made their way back into the police station.

"Well, that's that then." Grandpa Max says with Ben and Van nodding in agreement as Gwen remained silent and bends down to grab the deactivated Titan Gauntlets as she looks down at them sadly.

"Yeah..." Gwen says as, even though she was happy that Hex was defeated before he killed someone, she was still depressed that she had lost her powers and the Biomnitrix Wielders sees this as they gave her sympathetic looks before their eyes widen slightly as an idea popped into their heads, and they turned to each other as they shared a secret conversation between each other and nodded as they turned to Gwen and walked up to her.

"Hey, Gwen, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" Van asked concernedly while wrapping her arm around Gwen's shoulder as the red-headed girl sighs heavily and shakes her head.

"No, I'm not Van. Don't get me wrong, guys, I'm happy that you shut down the Titan Gauntlets in time before Hex blew up the city, but I kind of wished that I can get my powers again, so I can be a real hero and really help you guys out against the bad guys." Gwen says somberly as Ben and Van shared a look and smirked as they nodded and turned back to Gwen as Van lets go of her.

"Well, Gwen, what if we say that there is a way to get your powers back?" Ben asked with a big grin on his face as Gwen gasps and looks up at him with a surprised/hopeful look on her face.

"R-Really?!" Gwen asked as Ben and Van nodded with big grins on their faces as they activated their Biomnitrixes and selected a pair of familiar aliens as they turned to each other.

"It's Fusion Time!" The kids shouted as they smack their gauntlets against each other, and a big green glow appeared as Gwen, and Grandpa Max yelped in surprise and covered their eyes as, once the light dies down, they slowly opened their eyes, and the Tennyson Family were shocked to see Fairygrade standing in Ben and Vanessa's place as she placed her hands on her hips confidently.

"Fairygrade!" The fusion alien exclaimed loudly as, before Gwen and Max can question why they transformed into Fairygrade again, she raised her hands and closed her eyes as small magical/technological circles appeared and giant green/pink/purple/black tentacles popped out of them as they swiftly reached over to the Titan Gauntlets that were still placed on Gwen's arms and Fairygrade hums in concentration as she continued casting/performing her magical/technological spell/program and, soon enough, the fusion alien had managed to successfully activate the Titan Gauntlets once more as they glowed brightly.

"Eeeeeeeeeeee! No way!" Gwen squealed happily as she eagerly slips on Titan Gauntlets and felt the familiar magical energy coursing through her body as she beams and smiled over at Fairygrade, who had reached up to touch her Biomnitrix symbol as a huge flash of green light occurred, and we see the fusion becoming undone as the kids had quick-changed back into their human forms. "Ha, ha! Titan Girls lives again! Thanks, guys, for giving me back my powers!" Gwen says while rushing over to hug Ben and Van as she accidentally used too much strength in her hug and started crushing them as they gagged and gasped for hair.

"Choking! Not breathing!" Ben and Van said in unison as Gwen realized what she was doing and blushed in embarrassment as she lets go of them.

"He, he, sorry, guess, I got to control my own strength, huh?" Gwen asked rhetorically as Ben and Van panted heavily and, after a few seconds of doing a couple of breathing exercises, managed to regain their breathing as they smiled over at the smiling Gwen.

"No, problem, Gwen," Van says as Ben nodded and rubs his neck nervously as he gave her a sheepish look.

"Yeah, it's the least we can do, after acting like jerks all day," Ben says as Gwen smiled warmly and nodded as Grandpa Max walked up to them.

"Hey, where's my apology present at, kids?" Grandpa asked Ben and Van playfully as the group shared a laugh and the Old Vendor from before walking up to the gang as she smiled at them brightly.

"You kids are the champions of Swap-a-palooza! As heroes and valued customers, I would like to give you and your Grandfather this coupon." The Old Vendor said while handing them a small orange coupon as the group stared down at it confusedly/curiously. "With this coupon, you all will be able to buy anything you want in this Swap Meet for free!" She exclaimed, surprising them as the old woman smiled at them, specifically Ben, Van, and Gwen, warmly. "It's the least I can do for you all saving us from annihilation from that evil sorcerer guy. Also, don't worry, I will keep your powers a secret from everyone else. Your secret identities are safe with me." The Old Vendor says while winking at them mischievously as Van and the Tennyson Family smiled at her in appreciation.

"I must say, that's very generous of you, Mam," Max says as she smiled at him calmly

"It's the least a simple vendor like myself could do for a couple of superhero kids and their Grandfather. Farewell, children." The Old Vendor says before walking away as the group stared down at the coupon that she gave them.

"Well, kids, who want to use the coupon to buy something they like?" Grandpa Max asked as Gwen held out her hand and shakes her head.

"Eh, you can count me out. I already bought something that I like and definitely use for our future adventures." Gwen says as she raised her Titan Gauntlets and flexed them a bit as they glowed brightly.

"He, he, cool, that's good to hear. I mean, imagine if you actually try to destroy the Titan Gauntlets because you think you prefer being yourself instead of being a superhero?" Ben asked rhetorically as Gwen snorted and started laughing as everyone else did the same.

"I know, right? I mean, imagine if another version of myself from an alternate universe stupidly destroyed a magical artifact, instead of using it to continue her hero career?"

{Meanwhile, in the Alien Force Unite! Universe}

"Achoo-choo!" Gwen sneezed loudly as she, Kevin, Ben, Vanessa Cunningham, Sabrina, and Ship laid on top of Kevin's car as they were currently having a relaxing night, stargazing in a small meadow.

"You okay, Gwen?" Kevin asked the red-headed magic girl as she nodded.

"Yeah, I'm alright, but for some weird reason, I have a sudden urge to kick myself in the ass-I mean, butt," Gwen says sheepishly, not wanting to curse in front of Sabrina as Vanessa, who was currently cuddling against Ben, gave her friend a confused look.

"What do you mean by that, Gwenny?"

"Well, it's kind of hard to explain, but Ben, I have something to ask you."

"Sure, what's up?" Ben asked casually while turning to her as he placed his arm over Vanessa's side.

"Did you think it was a stupid decision for me to destroy the Charms of Bezel when we were ten?" Gwen asked as Ben begins to think of what she asked.

"Hmmm, well, Gwen, on one hand, I think it was the right decision to destroy the Charms of Bezel, but in retrospect, maybe you should've kept your Charm of Luck and Probability," Ben says as Gwen winces and nodded as she blushes in embarrassment.

"Yeah, honestly, I didn't think that through. I should've kept my Charm of Luck and Probability and simply destroyed the others." Gwen says as Kevin shrugs.

"Well, at least that you had managed to learn how to cast magic later on with Charmcaster's book," Kevin says, remembering Gwen telling him that she had stolen Charmcaster's Spellbook and use it to learn how to cast spells as Vanessa nodded.

"Yeah, and if you want, you can simply recreate the Charms of Bezel with your magic."

"My sister's right, Gwen. You're pretty smart and powerful. I'm sure you can re-create those Charms of Bezels thing if you try hard enough."

"Ship!" Ship exclaimed, agreeing with his owner as Gwen was about to disagree with what her friends said...before putting up a thoughtful look as she hums.

"Hmm, maybe. I'm not sure if I can really re-create the Charms of Bezel, but I will try. Who knows, maybe I will be able to regain all of my charms in the future?" Gwen says optimistically as she smiled a bit, and everyone else smiled back before gasping in surprise as a group of DNAliens appeared and surrounded the group as everyone stood up in alert.

"Well, it looks like our peaceful night is over," Ben says deadpannedly while raising his hand as he activated his Omnitrix.

"Good for me, I was getting quite bored of just sitting all night here doing nothing," Kevin says as he placed his hands on his car and coated himself with green metal armor as Gwen raised her hands, and they glowed pink with Mana energy as Vanessa activated her Zennatrix.

"Ditto," Vanessa says as Sabrina leaped back onto the floor, and Ship jumped up to stand beside her protectively as he growled slightly.

"It's Hero Time!/It's time to Alien Up!" Ben and Vanessa exclaimed as they slammed their hands down at their alien watches, and their bodies were covered in a green/purple glow as Ben and Vanessa had transformed into-

"Swampfire!/Wildfire!" Ben and Vanessa shouted as they glared at the group of DNAliens, and the rest of the gang grouped up behind them as Team Alien Force charged at the DNAliens, and the evil aliens charged back at them as an epic battle rang out!

{Back at the Ben and Van 10! Universe}

"Anyway, you guys settle on who gets the coupon while I practice how to use my new powers!" Gwen exclaimed happily as she slammed her fists together, and her body was covered in a golden light as she transformed into Titan Gir, and Gwen cheered as she runs off and started doing front flips across the ground as Titan Girl then crouched down and leaped high into the air as her loud cheer ran across the Swap Meet.

"Well, while she's off doing hero training, let's settle on who gets the coupon," Max says to the Biomnitrix Wielders as Ben and Van shared a look and had a secret conversation with each other as they nodded and turned back to Grandpa Max as they smiled up at him.

"You know what, Grandpa? Why don't you keep it?" Ben asked while handing him the coupon as Max stared at it with a surprised but happy look on his face.

"R-Really? But why?" Grandpa Max asked as Van stepped up to explain.

"Well, we were acting like jerks around you as well, and we almost ruined our Swap Meet activity today, so we decided to give you this coupon to apologize," Vanessa says as Ben nodded.

"Yeah, and besides, we already have our Sumo Slammers Slushie Machine, so we don't need to get anything else anyway," Ben says as Max blinks at the kids in surprise before smiling as he ruffled their heads affectionately.

"Thanks, kiddos," Max says to them gratefully as he then giggles like an excited little kid and ran off to buy something that he liked as Ben and Van stayed behind.

"Well, since the others are busy, what do you want to do now?" Ben asked as Van opens her mouth to speak up, but then both kids gasped in shock as a group of familiar robbers appeared and were driving on a white van as they zoomed past them and a horde of police cars chased after them as Van pointed ahead.

"Whoa! It's those robbers from last night!"

"Wow, what a coincidence that they appear near us."

"I know, right...want to go and capture them?"

"Heck yeah!" Ben exclaimed as Van giggled and nodded as both kids activated their Biomnitrixes and circled through their alien playlist as they found the right alien to use and slammed their hands down on their cores as they had transformed into-

"XLR8!/Blitz!" Ben and Van shouted as they then zoomed off and ran out of the Swap Meet as they headed straight towards the bank robbers, making sure not to allow them to escape again as we cue back to the Swap Meet and see the Old Vendor picking up Hex's discarded Spellbook and Staff of Ages as she smiled down at the mystical objects gleefully.

"Perfect! I can make a killing with these things!"

"Hey, excuse me, miss?" A young, female, silky voice rang out as the curious old woman turned around and saw a mysterious figure staring at her from the shadows as she smiled at the confused old vendor sinisterly. "How much are those objects worth?"

"Hmmm, depends, deary. How much are these pieces of junk worth to you?"

"This much." The mysterious figure says as she casually pulls out ten-thousand dollars from out of her bag and tossed it over to a shocked vendor as the old woman stared down at the fat, wad of cash in awe/amazement and grinned widely as she carelessly tossed Hex's Spellbook and Staff of Ages.

"Here you go." The Old Vendor says before walking off to enjoy her money as the mysterious figure quickly caught onto the magical objects and stared down at them with a sinister glint in her eyes as she smirked.

"Thanks for the presents, Uncle. I will be sure to use them properly." The mysterious figure says while chuckling evilly as she pocketed Hex's Spellbook into her bag and twirled Hex's Staff of Ages around as she then turned around and started walking away as she 'innocently' whistled a sinister, evil tune under her breath.

And done! I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one. Anyway, before I go, here are the voice actors for my OC'S:

1. Coldphase's voice actor: Jennifer Tilly, but with her voice sounding a bit more chilling as her voice also has an echo in it.

2. Split's voice actor: AnnaSophia Robb (Specifically the voice she uses for Danielle Phantom from the Danny Phantom cartoon)

That's about it. Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
