"Now that we are all here I have announcement three people Will be joining us now I have been asked to bring back Ironwood and Raven but know this if any of the fight with the person I am going to bring I will make ravens punishment look like child's play not only will you have to face my pet but I will show my full power!" Said Sparta getting nods from everyone there was 2 flashes the first flash wasThe smallest and appeared on the table with the only alien in the room. It was another Galvan about the same height of Azmuth but noticeably female she was wearing a white robe with a long black stripe going down the middle.
The second and final flash appeared a deathly pale women, covered with deep red and purple veins that run up her arms and face. The sclerae of her eyes are jet black and her irises glow red, even brighter when she is agitated. She has a black diamond-shaped marking in the center of her forehead.
She wears a very long black robe with red designs resembling eyes. She also wears a ring resembling an insect on her right index finger. She has white hair formed into a bun with six offshoots from which ornaments are suspended.
This is Salem
Shouted everyone who is in the know but everyone who was not Ozpin stayed sitting. Ozpin who was blinded by rage ran up to her to try and kill her remember all the death and distraction caused by her did not see the changes appearing behind both of them pulling them back.
"All right I will left you off the hook since I know all the pain that she caused you but do not do it again those Chains are specifically made to stop her powers and don't even try using any magic because it won't work now do not fight both James and Raven have been warned so even they will not attack for some reason they don't want to be near my pet again I can't imagine why." Said Sparta as everyone seemed to shock to do anything Azmuth was the first to break out of it.
"Zennith is that really you?" Asked Azmuth hoping to what ever god that exist it is her.
"Yes it is me I was just on my way home to make lunch when I was brought here." She said with a voice cold enough to freeze a sun glaring at Azmuth.
Getting on his knees and crying "please come back to me I've changed please come back to me i'll do anything please!" Begged the smartest bean in three arguably five galaxies.
"you have not changed at all you are still making weapons and this one is arguably more powerful than that damn sword!" She yelled making him cry even more.
"HEY! If you are talking about the Omnitrix then you need to get your facts straight lady the Omnitrix is a device made for peace the ability to walk in another creature shoes it is not a weapon." Said Ben glaring at her for not only suggesting that his watch is a weapon but making the person/alien he views as a second grandfather.
"so it's a device used for peace? I guess no one told Vilgax then or all the people who killed trying to get it. Or it all the people who died trying to Protect it then!" She said not carrying that her former lover was crying and begging her to come back.
"Look here he made that for YOU hopping that you would here about it and realize he was a changed man!" Said Ben having enough of this Galvan only focusing on the past mistakes of this broken man
"He did? Oh my gosh I am sorry Azmuth I was only thinking of the past I didn't even think about why you created it can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me for what I said?" She Asked breaking down with her own tears.
"There is no reason to forgive you. You have done nothing wrong I should have listened to you when you said making that sword was a bad idea as soon as we are done here I am going to find that sword and destroy it." Said Azmuth wiping his own tears.
"Ok this is strange can someone please tell us what is going on?" Asked Salem trying to escape being chained to a throne like chair glaring at Ozpin with him doing the same.
One long Explanation later
To say that Salem was shocked was an understatement these two boys had the power to make all of the maidens and the relics to shame.
"If you two free me I will offer you a place at my side and together we can rule all of Remnant and possibly this multiverse." Said Salem Thinking that they will help her and she will take the watch and the Nanites for her self.
The two boys looked at other having some kind of mental conversation looking like they would accept but shocked her by bursting out in laughter.
"Did you hear what she said? That was hilarious." Asked Ben struggling to breathe.
"Ya. "Free me and we will rule the multiverse together" ya right." Rex said with his own fights of laughter.
After two more minutes of continuous laughter they both calmed down long enough to get serious "Ok listen up and listen good I nor Rex will ever join anyone who is evil from what little Raven mentioned you have no soul and you have killed thousands of innocent lives so no I will not join you." Said Ben glaring at Salem.
Now she would never mentioned this even on her death bed but his glare actually scarred her a bit. 'I need to somehow get on there good sides or I just need to steel the weapons maybe I can have Cinder get close enough to seduce him to learn how that device works.' Thought Salem who had no idea that her thoughts were being projected on some speakers.
"Ok that is enough talking we have a story to read Azmuth and Zennith you two have just reunited you two can Go in the other room and Catch up with each other I will."Said Sparta before he was cut off by a flash of light.
"Hey man I was in the neighborhood and thought I see what you were up to and on in unrelated note do you know how to hide a body?" Asked toy scaring the occupants in the room
"One question. Why do you need to hide a body? And two you just put it on a train and just let it be someone else's problem." Said Kevin drawing weird looks from his best friend and girlfriend. "No no no. you don't hide a body on a train you hide it in a wild animals cave this way it is never found." Said Blake also drawing strange looks from her team and making Weiss decide to sleep with one open tonight.
"Are you all crazy the best place to hide s body is to put it in the home of your worst enemy like i do." Said Nora with a totally straight face making everyone who was sitting next to her move slowly away.
"Ok I am not going to ask why but since you are here why don't you read?" Asked Sparta.
"You are asking the creator of "RWBY ULTIMATE ALIEN." To read his own story in a reaction story? Sure why not." Said Toy grabbing the book.
Volume 1 Issue 8: Team CFVY and the Ultimatrix-bearer
Team CFVY's Dorm, Beacon Academy Dorms; Beacon Academy
8:10 P.M.
One Long Explanation Later...
"you mean another one long explanation later." Said Glynda earning a glare from toy and Sparta.
"Did you write this story? No? Then shut up." Said Sparta rising to the Defense of his friend
"So let me get this straight... you expect us to believe that your watch allows you to transform into aliens?" Coco said stressing every word in a vain attempt to wrap her head around how it would even be possible.
"pretty much the story of my life Gwen and the others was pretty much along for the ride." Said Ben
"Yes," Ben replied simply. Coco had removed her glasses and was rubbing her eyes with her hand.
"I know this is a lot to take in but trust me it's true." Velvet said in the hopes of removing her teammate's skepticism.
"I believe it," Yatsuhashi said crossing his arms. Fox nodded in agreement with him as well.
"I don't believe that they just accepted that right away I mean I am looking at it right now and I'm not believing this" Said Velvet
"Y-you do?" Velvet stuttered.
"Well. Yes, I just saw him transform from that little weird creature into a normal, if skinny, boy. I don't have much of a choice to believe him." Both Ben and Velvet both relaxed as Yatsuhashi dashed any fears that the team would react poorly.
"Show me." Coco had placed her glasses back on her face and was now looking into Ben's eyes. Ben looked away and appeared to be contemplating something.
"OK, it would probably be best if we do this outside." Coco nodded in agreement and stood up along with everyone else and they all left the room.
Outside of Beacon Academy
After arriving outside of the dorms, Team CFVY managed to find a perfect spot where nobody can witness Ben transform into one of his aliens. They managed to use one of the open fields near the school as they knew no other students would be able to witness the Ultimatrix-bearer's transformation.
Team CFVY then stood a few feet away as they were ready to witness the scene in front of them.
"Okay Ben, show us one of your aliens," Coco said as she, Velvet, Fox, and Yatsuhashi were about to witness Ben transform into whatever alien he wants.
"Got it," Ben replied as he began to think of an alien to transform into with Voice Command since the Master Control is still activated. 'Okay, which alien should I transform into...' Ben thought as he remembered his aliens from the original ten to the current ones he had now. He wanted to make a good impression as he didn't want to draw too much attention, which meant all of his heavy hitter aliens are out including the Ultimate Forms. Ben kept thinking until he thought of the perfect alien to transform into.
"Okay, you guys ready? Ben asked as Coco, Fox, and Yatsuhashi nodded. Velvet, however, smirked as she knew her teammates are going to be surprised by Ben's aliens. Ben held up his arm as he began to demonstrate the use of the Master Control Access.
"Then here we go! Ultimatrix, Wildvine!" Ben commanded, emerald green light engulfing him as Team CFVY covered their eyes.
As the Ultimatrix, was absorbed into his skin, the green ball of energy traveling through his veins, rearranging his genetic code. Vines started to cover up Ben as he began to transform into one of his original aliens. He can feel his legs turning into five vine-like legs, his arms turning into vine-like hands as growing two eye-like bulbs on his shoulders, his back began to sport large pods/seeds, and he started to open his venus fly trap-shaped flaps and reveal his face with one green eye.
"Ew that is really gross and kind of cool at the same time." Said Jaune.
"does it hurt when you change into aliens?" Asked Weiss looking in Ben's eyes daring him to lie.
"when I change forms for the first time yes it does over time it just becomes a minor itch." Said Ben remembering what it was like when he first went alien.
"that makes sense you are changing your genetic code." Said Summer.
When the light died down, Team CFVY saw a plant-like alien similar to Swampfire. It was brownish-green in color, has five vine-like legs, four long fingers on its hands, and flytrap-shaped flaps covering its head. The plant creature has green colored bulbs on its shoulders, as it has black pods on its back that can either be used as explosives or smoke bombs. It has one green eye in the middle of its face and its flytrap teeth on its flytrap-shaped flaps are black. It wore the Ultimatrix Symbol on its chest.
"Wildvine!" Ben shouted in an aged, gravelly voice, striking a pose. The form Ben has transformed into was none other than a Florauna, which he nicknamed Wildvine. This alien was one of the original aliens he used ever since he was ten.
Coco's jaw dropped at the sight of Wildvine and Yatsuhashi's eyebrows shot up.
"Well, what do you guys think?" Wildvine asked. Coco kept on closing her mouth and opening it again as if she was going to say something until she finally spoke.
"That is a good way to catch flies and the Best part is it's an open and close case." Said Yang only to get hit by a tomato from Sparta and Toy.
"I need an aspirin. Well, Ben, I must say, when you explained it I was skeptical but now that I have actually seen you transform into an alien, I don't actually know how to react." Coco explained.
Velvet felt a tapping at her side and she turned to see Fox, he held out a thumbs up to her.
"Well, Fox seems to be fine with it." Velvet said.
"Ben, do your aliens have individual powers or are they all the same?" Yatsuhashi inquired.
"They each have different abilities. This form allows me to grow and retract my body, merge with plant life, and I can grow vines that have come in handy in the past, among many other abilities." The Florauna explained thinking of how he should demonstrate his plant power.
"Vines?" Coco asked.
"Yes, would you like me to demonstrate?" Coco nodded in response. Ben threw his hands into the ground and after a second, a few green vines sprouted out of the ground below Coco and lifted her up off of the ground.
"W-woah. OK, I see what you mean." Coco commented as Velvet took a step towards her team.
"I am going out on a limb here since you won't have a very fun vine." Said Ben getting his own tomato.
"OK, now that you know about all of this, we need you guys to promise that you will not tell anyone else about this" Velvet asked pleadingly.
"OK, shouldn't you have asked us that before you told us?" Yatsuhashi said.
"Yeah, probably should have done that." Velvet sheepishly said.
"Hey guys, really heartwarming moment there, I love it but Ben could you let me down now?" Coco asked.
"O-oh sure." Ben retracted his vines from the ground carefully making sure he did not drop or hurt Coco. Green light once again engulfed the small clearing that they were stood in. Once it died down everyone could see the Ben looked like himself again.
"Back to the dorm?" Ben asked, everyone nodded their replies and the small group started to head back into the school.
Team CFVY's Dorm, Beacon Academy Dorms
8:20 P.M.
"So if there anything else that you need to tell us about?" Coco asked while she moved over to her bed. Ben thought about everything for a short while before speaking.
"Well, I guess I can tell you about the Master Control Access." Ben stated as he sat across from her on Velvet's bed.
"Master control what now?" Asked ironwood and Raven at the same time scaring everyone in the room because they all forgot they were brought back.
"What is the Master Control Access?" Coco asked.
"Well it's a program in the Ultimatrix that gives me full access to all of its features, like all of the one million DNA samples of aliens available and it allows me to stay in the form as long as I want without timing out due to the time limiter being disabled as I can change instantly by thinking of the form or speaking the name of the alien with Voice Command." Ben explained to the fashionista of Beacon.
"If I could remove these Chains right now all of you would be dead and I would have the greatest weapon in all of the universe." Said Salem trying to burst out but was ignored.
"That's actually pretty cool," Coco said letting her glasses drop slightly to reveal her brown eyes looking over them.
"Could you show us one of them?" Yatsuhashi asked, Ben now noticed that most of Team CFVY were looking at him with expectant eyes.
"Hmm. You saw a bit of it earlier when I transformed out of Wildvine back into my self without saying or doing anything other than thinking but I could show you another one if Velvet would be up to it." Velvet looked shocked that Ben would need her for anything.
"W-why me?" Velvet asked.
"Well if you don't mind, I would like to scan your DNA and add Faunus to the Ultimatrix." Velvet was taken aback with his request.
"YOU CAN DO THAT?" Shouted everyone from Remnant even Salem Asked with Blake and velvet being the loudest. "apparently I can and there is no need to shout." Said Ben making everyone feel sheepish.
"Uhm sure." Velvet agreed as Ben smiled at her and signaled for her to come closer to him.
"Great now this may hurt a tiny bit, I need you to place your palm over the Ultimatrix." Ben instructed as Velvet's eyes widened even more.
"Wait. What do you mean it's going to hurt?" Velvet said with fear in her voice.
"Don't worry it will be no worse than a pinprick." Ben explained as Velvet seemed to calm down a little bit more, but she still looked nervous. Ben gently grabbed her hand and stared into her eyes.
"Do you trust me?" Ben asked Velvet nodded her head in reply.
"Good, if it was going to hurt you badly then I wouldn't let it, you can count on that." Velvet nodded again.
Behind them, Coco was now stood next to Yatsuhashi and they were whispering between them.
"Bet you 20 Lien that they will hook up by the end of the year," Coco said. Yatsuhashi pondered it for a brief minute before replying.
"You're on." The swordsman agreed.
" I can't believe they would bet on my love life." Said Velvet annoyed that her best friend would do it not noticing Yang glaring holes into her for reasons unknown to her.
"With Ben you can be sure you'll find him attractive." Gwen deadPam.
"We've had this discussion, I'm not dense." Ben said.
As Coco and Yatsuhashi were talking Velvet and Ben had realized how close they were standing and both immediately jumped away from each other blushing.
"Anyway, so Velvet if you could put your hand here." Ben instructed as Velvet put her hand on the dial.
"Ultimatrix, scan uncatalogued DNA." The Ultimatrix made a noise in response as the hourglass symbol and the wrist couplings turned yellow signifying that Scan Mode has been activated and Velvet soon felt a short stabbing pain in the center of her palm.
"Uncatalogued DNA detected! Scan in progress." The Ultimatrix spoke as Velvet took her hand off of the dial.
"It is still weird to think that a watch can talk." Said Gwen getting nods from team RWBY and everyone else from Remnant.
"Alright, now all we have to do is wait for your DNA to be completely scanned as it will be added to my Playlist," Ben said.
Five Minutes Later
"Unknown DNA Sample Acquired. Scan complete. DNA scanned and species recognized. Faunus. Subspecies identified: Rabbit Faunus. Unlocked and available on Playlist 10." The Ultimatrix responded as the color of the hourglass changed back from yellow to emerald green much to the joy of its wielder.
"It does not slowly turn you into the alien anymore?" Asked Ben making everyone look at her before they all remember the alien werewolf.
"Alright, let's see where it is...," Ben said as he turned the dial ten times to access his playlists. Once he reached Playlist 10, he found the hologram of his new transformation. The hologram was himself, but with a major difference, the hologram possessed Rabbit Ears.
"Here goes nothing!" Ben said closing his eyes as he pushed the core down, as Team CFVY covered their eyes from the bright green light.
When the light dissipated, Team CFVY opened their eyes as they saw Ben, but they noticed some differences. Ben still retains his appearance, but with a few major differences. Ben wore a green shirt with black sleeves that forms the hourglass symbol, a green belt with a black stripe, black pants, and green combat shoes with black stripes. He also wore green vambraces, green spaulders, green cuffs, and black fingerless gloves. The Ultimatrix symbol was located on his chest, but their eyes were focusing on the top of his head; a pair of long, brown rabbit ears, just like Velvet's ears.
Velvet, though, had stars in her eyes. Ben technically transformed into her species of Faunus, that's the reason he explained the Ultimatrix allows him to 'walk a mile in another species shoes'. Figuratively and literally.
"Man you look bugs bunny if he were a Fannus." Said Nora rembering her childhood watching Bugs Bunny cartoons before her parents were killed in a grim attack.
"That is really really cool have you ever been any thing like a Faunas before." Asked Velvet with literally stars in her eyes hugging Ben with Blake joining her in crushing him to death.
"Ugh, technically I've met someone like you two." Ben said but didn't elaborate.
As Ben opened his eyes he was feeling his body. He opened his eyes and looked downard at his chest. His were clothes still intact, but he saw the Ultimatrix on his chest, signaling him that he did transformed. He felt two soft parts on the top of his head as Velvet holded a hand mirror in front of Ben so he could see his reflection.
Ben gasped, of shock and amazement. He literally has a pair of two long brown rabbit ears on the top of his head sticking out of his head as he then began to think of a name he should give his rabbit Faunus form.
"Ah what's up doc?" Sparta Asked in a bugs bunny costume getting a tomato to The face
"Wow, so this what being a Faunus really is..." Ben said in awe as he was amazed his new transformation, he then began to bend his knees as he hopped into the air while doing a cool trick in the air and landing on his feet perfectly while Team CFVY were shocked and amazed on how he managed to use his new Faunus transformation.
"I think I can get used to this! I believe I should call this form, Jumping Jack!" Ben said already naming his new Rabbit Faunus transformation.
"Jumping Jack? Cool!" Velvet exclaimed as well with agreeing with the new name. While she continued to stare at Ben's rabbit Faunus form in awe, Ben felt his new rabbit ears as he now used his rabbit ear's enhanced hearing to hear Coco whispering to Yatsuhashi.
"Wow, technically your the first human from an alternate universe to become a Faunus. No wonder your device was meant for peace between humans and aliens. Is that everything?" Coco asked already learning more about Ben and his universe.
"Oh right! Ben what about the Ultimate Forms?" Velvet asked her voice rising in excitement.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about them." Ben said already chosen a familiar Ultimate Form to show Velvet's teammates.
"Ultimate Forms?" Yatsuhashi said.
"Yeah, the Ultimatrix is able to put the DNA of the aliens through a lot of simulated environment and situations which forces it to evolve into its strongest form." Ben said as he explained the Evolutionary Function.
"So you can get more powerful?" Coco asked in shock at the power of the watch.
"Yes, I would show you but we just got back and I want to sleep so maybe you will see me use it in the future, maybe not," Ben said teasingly.
"Screw you," Coco replied dryly.
"Well if she asked nicely." Ben said.
"She is a lesbian." Velvet said.
"Alright, alright, I'll show you guys but just this one time," Ben said as he transformed into his Arachnichimp form, Spidermonkey, once again.
"you are terrible with name." Said a Ozpin who had calmed down enough to get out of his own chains.
"Spidermonkey!" Ben announced as he posed, while Coco's jaw dropped once again, as Fox and Yatsuhashi eyebrows widen, interested that this alien is a primate or monkey with four arms.
"Alright Ben, show us these Ultimate Forms," Coco said wanting to know the power of his watch.
"With pleasure, Coco! Hoo Hoo Ha!" Spidermonkey shouted as he instantly hyper-evolved into his Ultimate Form without touching the dial on his chest due to the Master Control Access.
"Ultimate Spidermonkey!" Ben shouted as he gave off a gorilla roar.
"What does it feel like when you go Ultimate?" Asked Raven wanting to know about her future weapon (in her eyes anyway.)
"no matter what it hurts evolving you are going through millions of years to get to that point in seconds." Said Ben feeling the phantom pains from it.
"At lease you get to turn into the best animal of all tine." Said Bobo
Coco's eyes widen and her jaw dropped yet once again as she witness Ben transformed into a monkey then he went "Ultimate" as his alien monkey evolved into an alien black furred and violet skinned gorilla with four retractable violet spider legs. She, Fox, and Yatsuhashi then noticed that Ben's Ultimatrix symbol has four spikes which they figured out that it symbolizes the Ultimate Forms of the alien he chooses to hyper-evolve.
"Okay, Ben, what can this Ultimate Form do?" Coco asked, as she was getting more interested in him, she can't believe that her partner was friends with a boy 2 years younger than them can transform into over ten arguably one million species of aliens from his universe.
"Well, I'll show you," Ultimate Spidermonkey replied. He then opened his mouth and shot a large amount of web on the ceiling he then used it to create a makeshift hammock as he connected the other part to the right side of the wall. He then shot another large web out of his mouth as he then used one pair of his spider legs to sow a makeshift beret, shirt and skirt about the right size for Coco.
"Ok two things one. Where did you learn to sow like that? two. What does the webs taste like?" Asked Glynda.
"In order Gwen and my mom got tired of fixing my clothes all the time after my fights so they had me learn to do it myself. And two it surprisingly taste like gum." Said Ben
Coco then took the makeshift clothes from Ben as her fashionista side kicked in while rubbing her face on the softness of the webs.
"Amazing, you're webs are so soft, and these clothes you made from them. Now these are a ten out of ten." Coco complimented as she admired it from all angles. "But... I'll need to tie dye these makeshift clothing my type of color."
"You're welcome, Coco." Ultimate Spidermonkey replied as he then turned back to 16-year-old Ben Tennyson.
"Well guys, It's almost time for me to sleep because I'm feeling tired," Ben said as he let out a long yawn. He had actually a really good day, he became friends with one of the most popular team here ready to become second-years, gained their trust as he showed them the most powerful device he wears on his arm that allows him to transform into a million aliens, and they actually believed him.
"Alright, Ben, you're actually kinda the coolest kid we've met...Velvet wasn't kidding when she told me she was saved by a four-armed blue monkey that can shoot web from its tail, and we now know it's you ." Coco said with some respect for Ben, as Yatsuhashi puts his fist together as he bowed his head in respect, while Fox gave him a thumbs up.
"Oh thank you..." Ben replied with a blush on his face while Velvet giggled at his expression.
"Well it's been nice meeting you guys," Ben said as he shook Coco, Fox, and Yatsuhashi's hands. "But I think I should get some sleep, it appears that I heard from other students that tomorrow is the initiation for all new 1st year students."
"Good Luck, Ben..." Velvet said to him, as she wished him good luck on his test tomorrow. "But wait! before you go you mind if I add you as a contact on my scroll?" Velvet asked her new friend.
"Sure, Velvet. Say Coco, you don't mind if I add you, Fox, and Yatsuhashi as contacts on my scroll here," Ben said as he gave Velvet his scroll so she can add her contacts while putting his contact information on hers, she then gave it to Coco, as she, Fox, and Yatsuhashi put their contact information on Ben's scroll and saving his contact information on their scrolls.
"And done. There you go Ben," Coco replied, now that we have each others contacts, contact us anytime if you need help especially if we need your help." she stated with a smile.
"Sure thing, Coco." Ben said with a smile, "Well good night you guys!" Ben said as he walked out of their dorm, going back to his dorm. Team CFVY then waved goodbye, as they can't wait to see how well he'll do in initiation.
Coco then turned to Velvet as she had a teasing smile on her face and said, "Wow, Velvet, you're really the luckiest girl to get a boy to date..."
Velvet blushed as she shouted at her leader, "Coco! It's not like that!"
"Yang are you ok?" Asked Jaune Seeing her eyes turn red and her hair sticking up.
"I am perfectly fine." Yang growled out.
Ben's Dorm, Beacon Academy Dorms; Beacon Academy
8:25 P.M.
After arriving back at his dorm, Ben yawned as he changed into his pajamas. He had a really enjoyable day as he made new friends, Velvet and her teammates of Team CFVY. He had trusted them about his powers and the Ultimatrix as they promised they will not tell anybody, because as Velvet told them that Ozpin and Goodwtich already knew.
But he could sigh in relief, as he can finally can get a good night sleep as Initiation for new 1st year students start tomorrow after breakfast, he hoped that he can use the Ultimatrix or the sword Ascalon, that Azmuth gave him after he deemed himself worthy.
After getting in bed, Ben decided one last thing to do before resting for the night.
"Ultimatrix, Lock Master Control Code 10," Ben commanded.
"Master Control Access: Disabled," The Ultimatrix responded as the Master Control deactivated. The hourglass symbol color changed from green to red signifying that the watch is in Recharge Mode as the time limiter was reactivated.
"Ultimatrix power depleted. Entering Recharge Mode." The Ultimatrix responded as it began to recharge its power.
"Alright, time to catch some z's," Ben said as he completely fell asleep in his bed.
Unbeknowst to Ben, a black bird with red eyes was watching him from his window still.
No... a Corvidae, more specifically, a raven with blood red eyes witness the Ultimatrix-bearer ever since he arrived mysteriously in Remnant.
"What does she want?" Asked Qrow glaring at his sister.
*Flashback: When Ben first arrived in Remnant*
After Four Arms finished off the Alpha Beowolf and its pack, he transformed back to normal as he walked towards deeper into the unknown forest. Unknown to Ben, a black bird, more specifically, a raven with red eyes witness the entire confrontation from a tree branch and safe distance away from the battle. The raven was impressed with the boy's fighting style but it was solely more focused on the boy's transformation in a flash of green light and the green hourglass symbol that appeared on his transformed chest.
'Impressive,' the raven thought to itself. 'The only question in my mind is: Who and what are you?'
The raven then flew from the branch and followed the boy from a small distance.
After following the boy, the raven then perched on a branch high above the boy. She began to witness the boy transform into another unknown creature which was a blue four armed primate with a tail as he then began to shoot web from it and used it to to web swing through the forest, the raven then followed him as it witnessed the boy rescued a rabbit Faunus girl and pressing the green hourglass the symbol on his chest to turn back to normal.
'Hmm... Interesting, not only this boy is strong but he his also quite powerful with any transformation he has but the question is what source of power does he have that allows this and that green hourglass symbol always appear on possibly any form he has in his disposal?' the raven thought to itself.
The raven then decided to take off and fly away into the night sky of Remnant, as the last thing on the raven's mind was, 'We'll meet each other soon enough.'
One Month Later
Mountain Glenn, The Kingdom of Vale
11:35 P.M.
Mountain Glenn.
A city that was originally an expansion of Vale to the southeast that was once thrived many years ago until it was overrun and destroyed by the Creatures of Grimm. These ruins of the destroyed city itself now stand as a dark reminder for the history of Remnant to reflect upon. On the grounds of the the defunct city was a woman fighting said creatures.
The woman was wearing a shallow cut black and red dress, five necklaces with an assortment of beads, a red girdle-belt, and a pair of matching gauntlets. She also wears black fingerless gloves.
An object that looks to be made from feathers hangs from the right side of her skirt, as she also wears detached leggings that are solid black. Underneath her leggings she wears black boots, which have red high heels and soles.
Her most distinctive feature is a fearsome, full-face mask that resembles the face of a Creature of Grimm; A Nevermore. The mask has four eye slits, further enhancing the character's inhuman appearance. The slits are black and red inside.
She has a large blood red sword with a rotary chamber with different Dust blades. The woman slaughtered the Grimm with fast paced attacks that left them dead within seconds.
As the last of them disintegrated, she took out her Scroll and saw a news headline on it, reading:
Blue Moth man-like humanoid creature stopped White Fang Dust Robbery in Vale's Industrial District!
There was a high quality video and picture on the site and on it as she scrolled down and played the video. It showed a blue mothman-like creature pressing the green hourglass symbol on its chest causing it to grow four spikes as the moth man began to change its icy cold blue appearance to a fiery flaming appearance. It then somehow breathed out a gas of fire on the White Fang members, however, instead the fire somehow froze the terrorists into ice. The woman eyes widen slightly at the boy's power as she smirked darkly under her mask, zooming in on the photo, mainly looking at the green hourglass symbol on the boy's forms as she'd seen it before.
"I knew you'd show up sooner or later, boy. You can run, but you can't hide from me from what I seek," the woman said as she sheathed her weapon, and jumped off the rooftop...
...where a raven was then seen flying away.
"That is not your semblance since when could you do that and how can you do that?" Asked Summer Getting no answer from her former teammate.
"So that is how you and your brother spying on me I'll be sure to make every creature of Grim kill every raven and crow." Said Salem.
As soon as the raven arrived at the scene it then flew towards a building top, where she can witness the boy who was a fiery moth man-like humanoid creature at the moment, the raven began to fly towards behind an AC Rooftop unit and the raven transformed into the woman who was now watching the boy quietly from the shadows.
She then quietly saw Glynda Goodwitch who was using her riding crop to hold the moth man in place as she then took out her scroll to call the police to apprehend the Faunus terrorists.
After the police arrived, she then began following Goodwitch and the transformed boy to the Vale Police Department in her raven form and decided to find a nice spot to rest on a light post near the entrance of the police station. She then saw the fiery moth man humanoid changed back to its supposed original icy blue form, and then back into the same boy with a green jacket in a flash of emerald green light she'd witness back in the forest.
A Few Minutes Later
After perching on the top of a light post across the Vale Police Department, the raven then witness the boy was walking outside with Goodwitch and Ozpin as the three of them got inside a car that will take them to Beacon Academy. The raven then began to take off into the sky.
'So, Ozpin decided to recruit you into his school huh? No matter, I will find out the source of your power!' the raven thought as she then began gaining altitude with one last thing in her mind.
'And I once I've discovered your secret, you will be mine!' the raven thought as she began her destination to Beacon Academy.
*Flashback Ends*
"So you made a family of Thieves and murders but not your own daughter." Said Yang glaring at raven with a new level of hate.
After witnessing the boy falling asleep, the Corvidae then descended towards the ground as it began to transform back into the masked swordswoman/tribe leader, Raven Branwen, who was smirking as she finished observing the Ultimatrix-bearer. She was determined to find out the source of this boy's power and once she finds out his secret she will have him as a perfect bandit of her "family," the Branwen Tribe.
However, her thoughts were cut off short when she dodged out of the way avoiding a familiar looking long cane with its patterned handle and gray-black shaft. Raven looked towards the direction of the cane as it was pointed at her throat and its wielder, Ozpin.
"Why am I not surprised you were able to spot me and caught me off guard...," Raven said as she looked at her former Headmaster while removing her Grimm mask showing her black hair and red eyes.
"You were never able to get past me and do the same thing... Raven." Ozpin retorted as Glynda arrived with her riding crop pointed at her, along with the boy next to her with a glare on his face as he had his right hand on his left arm, she observed the boy and saw a strange green gauntlet on the him arm. The gauntlet has a small black rectangular button, wrist couplings, and interestingly enough its central component, has a dial with a symbol she recognized; a green hourglass symbol.
She quickly put two and two together, that boy's power and his transformations comes from that gauntlet on his arm, now it all makes sense now, this boy will be perfect in her hands.
"Sorry, I don't stick my dick in crazy." Ben said as Raven growled.
Ben, however, was staring at the woman in front of her, who followed and observed him from the shadows. And this woman in front of him was none other than Qrow's sister, Raven Branwen, who is currently staring right back at him with a dark smirk on her face as she focused her attention on him and his watch. He was feeling afraid and paranoid as he then activated his Ultimatrix and began turning the dial searching for the right alien to transform in order to defend himself incase if Raven tried to attack him. As he was thinking of an alien to transform, Goodwitch put a hand on his shoulder with a concerned expression, signaling him to calm down and let Ozpin and her do the negotiations, as Ben refrained while keeping his right hand on the Ultimatrix.
"Smart guarded up around a unknown person you would be perfect for my tribe/army." Said Raven and Ironwood at the same time.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't try to observe one of my new students Raven. Now, what is your reason for following Mr. Tennyson here? You seemed to be interested in him for a good reason, and I believe something he did has manage to gain your attention," Ozpin asked while keeping his cane at Raven's neck.
"That is none of your business." Raven said to her old headmaster while gripping her sword.
"I do believe it is old friend. If I were to guess you're the one interested in Mr. Tennyson and his 'abilities' that managed to impress you, and you considered him to be and I quote on your brother's words: 'A perfect candidate in your 'family' comprised of thieves andmurderers.'" Ozpin replied antagonizing Raven as she tried her best to keep her cool.
Raven said nothing as she continued to glare at Ozpin.
"I'll take that as a yes. Now if you will kindly explain yourself of why are you following and observing Mr. Tennyson here it would be most appreciated." Ozpin reasoned as held a dangerous edge to his voice.
Raven slowly backed up as she still kept her eye on the boy and his gauntlet while switching back to Ozpin, as she kept her distance while Ozpin's cane was still close to her throat as the boy and Glynda followed. She did not want wish to fight here and now. And despite being raised by the bandit tribe that she and her brother Qrow grew up and both are equally matched with each other in combat. Ozpin, however, was a different story.
She knew not to underestimate the man front of her, as she knew that he has thousands of years of experience. As he fights perfectly in both offense and defense with his immense physical power and strategies.
"thousands of years? you don't look a day over 47 maybe 50 at most" Said Jaune getting no answer from anyone.
"Neither is Ben but he's Trillions of years." Gwen said.
"That's much better. Now tell me, why are you here Raven?" Ozpin asked his former student once again.
"Take a guess, Oz. You're always good at figuring things out." Raven retorted.
Ozpin stared at her over his spectacles with a glare that could kill a Creature of Grimm, or anyone that dare to cross him. Ben, however, felt fear in the air as he reminded himself not to get on the headmaster's bad side which might be more intimidating then Professor Goodwitch's.
"I will not ask again Raven. Tell me now, or suffer the consequences." Ozpin replied with a cold edge in his voice.
Raven glared at him again before she lowered her gaze, as she held on to her mask.
"Ever since, I was exploring Remnant like usual, I felt a source of power in a forest somewhere near a Faunus Village in Vale, so I immediately investigated out of curiosity," Raven said as she continued to speak, "And once I reached the site of the source of unknown power, that's when I witnessed everything that impressed me. This boy right here with the power to completely transform into unknown creatures that are not primarily seen here in Remnant." But since now that I understood that the gauntlet on his arm is the source his power, he will be useful to me as he would make a perfect bandit." Raven smiled as she finished as she pointed her index at Ben in front of her as he still had his hand on the Ultimatrix dial.
"I'm afraid that's never going to happen, Raven. Besides, your brother, Qrow, was the first person to bring this boy to me as he will be useful to me as a great asset. I will not have you harm one of my special students. And the boy and his power is off limits," Ozpin retorted as he kept his cool in check while Ben he still wanted to transform into one of his heavy hitters, but since Goodwitch gave him a calming look that he must stand down and not make the situation worse.
"Why would you need this boy anyway Oz? You know damn well that Salem will bring down Beacon and the rest of the Huntsmen Academies, and you know that you'll fall and continue to live thorughout your cursed life, and this boy fall into her hands you know well that gauntlet on his arm it would be safer if this power will fall into my hands." Raven reasoned. Ozpin, however, was feeling quite annoyed that Raven was pulling up very personal things like his reincarnation cycle bestowed to him by the Brother Gods of Remnant, due to failing to stop Salem in the past.
"Cursed life? Brother gods? What is going on?" Asked Penny in a of seriousness.
"It is a long story and I don't really want to tell it right now." Said Ozpin glaring at Raven.
Until, the boy he met with a device on his arm from an alternate universe, he saw this as a blessing from the cosmos, he hope that he can get Ben to understand him that the secrets he is about to tell him is that Salem must be stopped for good as she plans to destroy all four Huntsmen Academies, to get the four Relics of Creation, Destruction, Knowledge and Choice. But he knew that he could compare himself to Ben as they both have secrets that they don't want to share, but he had no choice as Raven brought these sensitive topics up.
"I'm only going to offer you a chance Raven... Leave Mister Tennyson alone and go back to your tribe in Anima, you will stop bringing up Salem and my personal status that is suppose to be classified or else!" Ozpin threatened the bandit leader.
"Or else what, old fool?" Raven replied as her answer was already given when a emerald green light shone as the boy in front just transformed in front of her very own eyes. And a huge single-edged greatsword pointed behind her right shoulder with its wielder, her twin brother, Qrow Branwen. She then turned around and look at the boy in front of her as he transformed into some sort of plant-like creature that somehow produced methane which she can guess that this form can produce fire.
"Of coarse you would stop me from getting a powerful asset to stop Salem." Said Raven.
"By the way Miss Branwen, SWAMPFIRE!" Ben shouted as he threw a couple of seeds on the ground, the seeds then grew into vines as they began to wrap around her hands, arms, legs, waist, and her neck tightly. But Ben knew that he must keep his cool and not kill Raven since it will haunt him for the rest of his life, and staining his sense of morality.
"Qrow, what are you doing here?" Raven asked she struggled to get free, but the vines tightened around her neck and her arms and legs, making it completely useless to reach for weapon at her hip.
"I could ask you the same thing...," Qrow replied as he kept his sword aimed at her shoulder. "Why are you interested in the kid here? And don't lie to me you know that you want the boy to join your tribe full of thieves and murderers, that you claimed to be your real 'family'." Qrow said keeping his sword positioned on his sister's right shoulder. He knew well that Taiyang specifically told him not to help Yang search for Raven because of her reaction and for almost getting Ruby killed, but years later she is still doing without the expense of anyone else except for him because he is her maternal uncle so he just help out his own niece.
"You knew where she was this whole time and you didn't even tell me you could've just left a note or something!?" Shouted Yang glaring at her favorite (read only) uncle would not help her find her mother.
"The plan was to introduce you to Raven once you graduate from Beacon because neither of us knew if you could handle it and this reaction just proved it." Said Qrow it's a rare moment of being mature responsible adult.
"The weak die. The strong live. Those are the rules." Raven retorted as she glared at her brother, as she wanted to now just take the boy and bring him back to her tribe in Anima.
"Excuse me? Raven Branwen, I presume?" The transformed boy spoke as he walked up to her and look at her directly in the eye despite feeling afraid that she would try to break out of the vines and scare him, but unknown to Qrow, Raven, Ozpin, and Glynda. Whenever Ben runs out of patience he will not hesitate to speak his mind and stand his ground despite the fear in him. He then look at Raven as he commanded the vines to release her as she look up to the transformed boy in front of her while rubbing her neck, arms and legs since she still felt pain from them, but luckily her aura protected her.
"Maybe you've forgotten something: I'm Ben Tennyson, wielder of the most powerful weapon from where I come from. I stopped an invasion way beyond the Grimm, I defeated my archenemy in hand-to-hand combat and I've beaten a group of racists similar to the White Fang more times that I can count. Here's what's going to happen: you're going to leave me alone as I will never ever join your tribe and my watch is off limits, you're going to crawl back to your stupid tribe full of thieves and murderers in the wilderness in Anima and you're going to stop hunting down innocent people in the villages in Anima that Ozpin told me about because if you don't, I promise, you'll regret it for the rest of your very short lives...," Swampfire threatened as he glared at the woman in front of her.
"I love and hate a super serious ben." Said Kevin with Gwen agreeing
"it is even worse when he is in human form." Said Gwen.
' A mental note never piss him of.' Glynda though.
'I must get close to that weapon so I can bring glory back to the SDC.' Thought Weiss.
'I wonder if he will help me take the fang down.' Thought Blake.
Everyone else had there own reactions Ruby was hugging Rex out of fright but once they noticed how close they were both of them quickly jumped away from one another blushing. 'What is happening to me I never felt like this around anything.' Thought Ruby 'man she is pretty cute when she is blushing like that' Thought Rex.
Yang was a mix between being frightened and turned on. Ozpin was thanking about how his counterpart made the right decision of becoming his ally. Raven and Ironwood were thinking about how they need to get on his good side. Salem was thinking that she needed him. Velvet was feeling sorry about anyone who pissed him off.
Raven couldn't help but feel afraid, whatever transformations this boy has in that gauntlet he wasn't kidding, but since he is so dangerous with that watch on his arm, she'll have to bide her time until she can get an upper hand on him and capture him. She certainly could give him points as he had a lot of balls and guts to stand up to her and threaten her to be killed by him and his possible most powerful transformations from that gauntlet.
"Mark my words, Ben 10, you will join my tribe, and you shouldn't believe in Qrow and Ozpin as they're both fools as Beacon will fall, I know this." Raven retorted, mentally coming up with different strategies the next time she'll get the upper hand on him.
"I'm afraid I'll pass thank you. Be grateful that your daughter isn't here to witness you to get hurt from me cause I won't hesitate to strike you down and you will make a very Humungousmistake in your very short life...," Swampfire retorted in a dark sense of humor with a Vaxasaurian or Humungousaur pun, pun intended of course. He certainly did not like Raven as he was tempted to go Ultimate Swampfire or Ultimate Humungousaur on her, but with a look from Ozpin, Qrow, and Glynda Goodwitch at his direction he stand down as they didn't want him to kill the bandit leader/Summer Rose's former Partner in front of them.
'I wouldn't kill her but she doesn't need to know that.' Thought Ben
"Until we meet again, Ben 10...," Raven finished as she put her Grimm Mask back on and used her semblance to create a swirling red and black portal with her sword. She then gave one last look to Ben, as she walked inside portal and it completely dissipated.
"So, that was your sister Raven, Qrow?" Swampfire asked the Huntsman in front of him.
"Yes, Ben. That was my twin sister, Raven Branwen. She also happens to be my niece's mother, as my niece is currently here asleep in Beacon's ballroom and I'm glad she's not here to witness this right now." Qrow sighed. He was afraid of Yang's reaction of the truth of why Raven left her years ago after she was born.
"Okay, but here is my question: What was Raven talking about? Who is Salem and what does she mean that Ozpin is a cursed man? And I can tell Ozpin here is very sensitive about those secrets kinda like me. I mean both me and him we both don't want to share secrets." Ben added as Ozpin nodded his head as Salem was the bane of his existence. While Glynda and Qrow understood that Ben can somehow compare himself to the curse man in front of them he had a good point.
"thank you for not pushing the issue Mr. Tennyson." Said Ozpin glaring at Salem who was flipping him off.
"Mr. Tennyson. What I'm about to tell you after your initiation test tomorrow is that my secrets must never leave the room, as only Qrow, Glynda, and Ironwood, know about this, Understood?" Ozpin asked the shapeshifter in front of him begging him not to share it with anyone else.
"I understand, Professor Ozpin. I promised. But you better come clean about this," Swampfire said as he held up his hand and as the Headmaster shook with a firm handshake promise.
"Thank You. Now before you go off to bed Mr Tennyson, I'm going to meet you at the Dining Hall tomorrow morning at 6 and explain to you about your initiation test, it will be slightly similar and different as the new 1st year students will be doing tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Thanks Professor! So can I go off to bed now?" Swampfire asked feeling tired from the events that happened.
"Yes you may." Professor Ozpin replied.
"Good." Swampfire said as he pressed the Ultimatrix symbol and transformed into Big Chill as he then flew back to his dorm with his intangibility.
"I don't know about this Oz," Qrow said to his associate. "Are you sure Ben will be useful against Salem and can he help cure Amber?" The former teacher asked of how Ben's watch would be able to cure Amber, the comatose Fall Maiden, held deep underneath the school itself in the secret vault.
"Secret vault? Who is this amber? Why do you have so many secrets uncle Qrow?" Asked Ruby
"Have hope Qrow, I know Ben Tennyson will do the right thing and because of his heroism, he will help us in the battle against Salem and protecting the four Relics from her." Ozpin replied.
"You better know what you are doing Ozpin, Not only Mister Tennyson gained the attention of Raven, but wouldn't Salem will try to take the Ultimatrix from him?" Glynda asked afraid of what would happen to their new student.
"Have faith in yourself Glynda." Ozpin calmly replied to his second in command, "Ben will be ready to face the secrets that I'm about to reveal to him tomorrow, but for now, lets all get some rest." Ozpin finished as he and Qrow said their goodbyes as the dust old crow ran off to find a place to sleep, while Glynda and himself walked back to the school preparing themselves for tomorrow's initiation for the new first years and Ben Tennyson's special initiation test for tomorrow.
Bellwood, USA
9:10 P.M.
It was just a beautiful night in the city of Bellwood. The people of Bellwood were minding their own business, until recently it has been normally quiet. Until a green muscle car came to a stop at a Mr. Smoothy a few miles away from Burger Shack. The person who stepped out was a tall and muscular young man at 17 years of age with dark brown eyes, as he wore a tight black t-shirt over a grey long sleeve shirt, blue pants, and black combat shoes. His hair, although still long, was styled into a choppy mullet.
"Who wears mullets anymore." Asked bobo.
This was Kevin Ethan Levin, who was once Ben Tennyson's former enemy now turned trusted ally and the muscle of Ben's Team and a member of the Plumbers. He recently was working on making repairs to his car, and working on some technology for the Plumbers, until he received a call on his Plumber's badge. He was contacted by one of his teammates to come to Mr. Smoothy immediately.
As soon as he arrived at Mr. Smoothy, he met up with the person who contacted him, the person was a young woman at 16 years of age with green eyes, as she wore a white shirt underneath a red sweater, black stockings under a black mini skirt, and black low heels. This was Gwendolyn "Gwen" Tennyson AKA Ben's cousin, who is the sorceress of Ben's Team and another member of Plumbers.
"Alright, Gwen what's the situation?" Kevin asked his girlfriend while she was meditating in midair with her magical spell book in front of her. Gwen opened her eyes as they were glowing bright pink signifying her mana and Anodite powers, her eyes then returned to normal as she closed her spell book and looked directly at the Osmosian in front of her.
"It's Ben, Kevin. Ben is missing ever since he mysteriously disappeared a few days ago." Gwen replied worriedly as tears started to build up in her eyes and began rolling down her
That is the end of the chapter who would like to read next?" Toy passing it to Salem and leaving
"Now that is out of the way Ben, Yang, Rex, and Ruby come with me into the other room." Sparta Said walking over to the door. "Oh and if anyone attacks Salem or anyone else I will bring my pet in. you mortals know him as The great dreamer Cthulhu." Said Darth Sparta scaring the hell out of everyone and making Raven and Ironwood assume a fetal position mumbling something about tentacles. (not like that perverts.)
In the other room.
"Ok what is it that you want." Asked Ben wanting to get straight to the point.
"You are here to tell me your opinions on what you think about This amazing piece of art." Said Sparta bringing out two pictures and putting them on the table.
The first one was of Yang and Ben on the bottom with there symbols next to each other with Ben's having a Omnitrix green background and a helix strand behind the hourglass symbol of the picture with there respected logos and titles above them.
The second was of Ruby and Rex with there respected logos above them and on the bottom was a picture of Ruby with her rose symbol beside her holding her Scythe and in the background was rose petals on Rex side was his Famous gear symbol on his left side on his left was some Nanites. (Picture in the top corner of the story.)
"i'm not gonna lie that is really impressive." Said Rex. "Ya I like how the artist captured our likeness in a two dimensional form." Said Ruby "Did you draw this?" Asked Yang Wanting to know more. "No. It was Toy2711 who drew this." Said Sparta. "Well I don't care who drew it. This is really amazing but why us?" Asked Ben "I can't say much but I can say that you four are very important to the story Rex just had not shown up yet." Said Sparta walking out of the room
Authors note
Now before for you raise your pitchforks and torches let me explain. If Zennith had believed that Azmuth had changed Then don't you think that she would have came back or at least sending him a letter or something saying that she has forgiven him and possibly move on? No? I rest my case not to mention we know our protagonist Vilgax is not above killing anyone he says he will do it all the time and we know for fact that he is not the only one looking for the matrix bounty hunters,regular hunters , and warlords we've seen in the Ben 10 universe o tell me how many people died trying to get it.?
