In Bellwood 20 years in the future. Two masked people one you could tell was a man and the other was a woman. Both were wearing vary similar armor. The building they were attacking had the omnitrix symbol on it.
"Cowards!" said the Masked Woman
"You two can't hide from us!" said the Masked Man
"We're not hiding." said a woman's voice
The Masked Man and Masked Woman looked up and saw a 36 year old Ben and a 35 year old Star up in the rafters. "We are just making an entrance." said older Ben
"Tennyson!" said the Masked Man and the Masked Woman
Ben and Star swung down kicking and knocking them back.
"Really, Eon? Just the two of you attacking us in our headquarters. You call that a plan." said older Ben
"I'm a bit surprised about this as well Era." said older Star
"We don't need a plan to defeat you two." said Eon
Both Eon and Era fired purple energy blasts at Ben and Star. Both of them dodged but once the blasts hit the wall that part of the wall that got hit was turned to dust.
"And if you must know, It's not just the two of us." said Era
Then people half were boys and half were girls in armor similar to Eon and Era came through the roof. They started to attack the armor warriors. But soon they pulled out energy swords.
"Sure, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye." said older Ben
Both Ben and Star were forced back near the wall that Eon and Era have made. "Any last words? I'm collecting them." said Eon
"I got two words for you..." Older Ben then twisted his omnitrix and then the omnitrix symbol appeared on his chest. "Ultimate Humungousaur!" Ben started to grow. Ben smashed the ground forcing some pack. Star shot out some blasts from her hands hitting a few of the armor minions sending them to the ground. Then Ben pushed away to others to the side. Ben then hit the omnitrix symbol. "Arcticguana!" Ben returned to normal size. Then started to blow out cold air frizzing the rest of the minions. "But wait, there's more." Ben the hit the omnitrix symbol. "Heatblast!" Then Ben shot out fire from his hands surrounding them.
"Hey don't hog them all to yourself." said older Star. As she fired out a blast that soon formed into a fence in front of the fire.
"Impressive! In all my years hunting alternate versions of you, I've never met one with your abilities, Ben." said Eon
"I would say the same about you Star. Most alternate versions of your are not all that skilled in magic." said Era
"Of course we shouldn't be to surprised considering."
"Considering what?" asked older Star
"Yeah! When we fought before, we..." said older Ben
"That wasn't us, Tennyson. And soon, it won't have been you." said Eon as he and Era hands started to glow.
"We are not just gonna stand here let you two nail us with that time-ray." said older Ben. Then he hit the omnitrix symbol. "Clockwork!" Soon all four of them fired blasts. Soon the blasts hit each other. "That's right. I've got time-traveling powers, too."
"Not only that but we are more powerful when we fight together." said older Star
Soon Ben and Star were able to over come both Eon and Era. Hitting them and causing them to disappear. As well as the armored minions of there's.
Then Paradox appeared right behind Ben and Star. "Hello, Ben! Hello, Star!" said Paradox
Both Ben and Star turned around to see Professor Paradox. "Good to see you, Paradox. Love how you don't show up til it's all over." said older Ben
"It's far from over, old friends. It's barely begun."
Back int the present. Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen were in Ben's car with Ben driving and Star in the passenger seat and Kevin and Gwen in the back.
"I liked it better when I used to drive." said Kevin
"We do seem to spend less time together since everybody got their licenses." said Gwen
"Well, consider this a reunion." said Ben
"Even though see still hang out. Just not as much." said Star
"Quality time, tracking down the source of the mystery transmission your ultimatrix found. And the strange energy spike from Star's wand." said Kevin
"It's either an uncataloged alien or yet another feature I can't figure out. Or it's broken again." said Ben
"I hope the wands not broke. My mom will kill me if it is." said Star
They soon got to the museum. Kevin absorbed the handle and used his finger to unlock the door. Gwen then used her powers to give them some light to see.
"Witch way?" asked Gwen
"We're right on top of it." said Ben
"Creepy museum basement. Figures." said Kevin
They went down to the basement with the orb Gwen made for light still going.
"What ever it is, it's got to be in here." said Ben
"There's probably a crowbar around somewhere." said Gwen
Then Kevin quickly absorbed some metal and morphed his hand into a morningstar. Then destroyed a side of a crate. Gwen just started at Kevin.
"What?! We already broke into the museum. What's the big deal?" asked Kevin
"Let's see what we've got." said Ben as he move the wood that was broken off revealing the Hand of Armageddon.
"What are those symbols on it. Is it some sort of language?" asked Star
"If it is, it's not any language I know." said Gwen
Both Ben and Star touch the Hand of Armageddon. Then a purple light came out of the Hand of Armageddon and went into the ultimatrix and the wand. Then they removed there hands from the Hand of Armageddon as it started to glow purple as it forced the rest of the crate it was in away. Then two armored ninjas came out one was male and the other was female. Then soon more started to come out of the artifact. They started charge at them. They tackled Ben, Star and Kevin to the ground. They tried to tackle Gwen but she put up a energy dome. Kevin quickly got up and knocked the armored people off himself.
"How are you two doing back there?" asked Kevin
"I've been better." said Ben as he activate his ultimatrix and hit it. "Spidermonkey!" Ben was then able to knock back the ones holding him down.
"Get of me." said Star as she fired at the ones on top of her knocking them off. Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen started knock out all the armored enemies. Once they were all knocked out, they all disappeared in a purple light.
"Oh, come on!" said Ben as he returned back to normal.
"What's the big deal? We beat them." said Kevin
"They escaped, and we don't know what they wanted or even why the ultimatrix led us to them."
"But other than that."
"Yeah. We won."
Back in the future.
"You didn't win, Benjamin." said Paradox
"Maybe you missed it, bad guys, completely vaporized." said older Ben
"Yeah! That pretty much a sure they are defeated." said older Star
"Eon and Era have not been destroyed. You two merely knocked them down your own timeline." said Paradox
"Wait. They said they were traveling cross-time. Do you think they tricked us?" asked older Ben
"Into sending them into your twos past, in order to face you when you two were younger and less powerful? Yes."
"We've got to do something." said older Star
Paradox pulled out his pocket watch. "You two already are."
Back in the present.
Gwen reached out her arm about to touch the artifact but Ben stopped her. "Don't! That's how they got out before." said Ben
"I don't think so." said Gwen as she touched it. "I'm getting a weird vibe off it, almost like I'm sensing my own manna. I'm gonna try a spell of revelation. Ostendo specialis." Then a image of a younger Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max appeared.
"That's us when we were kids." said Ben
"You did a spell to show the past" asked Kevin
"No. It's just supposed to reveal secrets." said Gwen
The image then showed the battle Eon. "Who is that? I don't remember that happening." said Ben
"Me either."
"Then there was a image of Star battling Era. "And I know that didn't happen." said Star
Then there was a flash and Gwen grabbed her head as she fell down. Kevin went to check on her. "Are you okay?" asked Kevin
"Spell's broken. I don't know why." said Gwen
"Maybe somebody erased your memories, or..." said Kevin trying to think of something else. As he helped Gwen up.
"Or maybe it was time travel and something happened to change our history?" asked Ben
Then there was a flash of light as Professor Paradox, older Ben and older Star was there. Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen noticed them but did know the older Ben and older Star where.
"Good guess." said older Ben
"Good guess? It;s completely wrong." said Paradox
"Well wrong but he is close." said older Star
"Professor Paradox?" asked Gwen
"Hello, children!" said Paradox
"Who are your friends?" asked Kevin
Ben and Star looked at them thinking they looked familiar. "Are you?" asked Ben
"That's right, Ben. I'm you, only even more awesome!" said older Ben as he shacked Ben's hand.
"An I'm you Star." said older Star. This shocked both Ben and Star.
"Ben 10,000 at your service."
"I heard about you. You're the jerk from the future." said Kevin
"I'm a different Ben 10,000. But I do remember going to that future back when we were 10. What a buzzkill that guy was."
"You're my real future."
"Yes, if nothing occurs to change it. That's why I've bent the rules of time and brought them here."
"We're in trouble." said Ben
"What else is new." said Star
"We've been in tougher spots. One time, when I was president of Earth..." said older Ben
"Wait. I'm gonna be president of Earth?" asked Ben
"Just long enough to defeat the third Vilgaian invasion. It turned out that Gwen was better at the day-to-day stuff."
"Oh what about me? What is my future like?" asked Star
"Well..." said older Star
"Come now, let the children discover their own futures. If indeed they survive the present threat. We should take this along. It's source of our difficulties." said Paradox
"I still wish you let me tell some of my stories. After all Ben did." said older Star a bit disappointed
Some time later in the space ship. As they were flying over the desert. Both Ben's were securing the Hand of Armageddon. Then headed to the front where every one else were at.
"Are you sure about this? We're heading to the middle of nowhere." said Kevin
"One only hopes it's far enough." said Paradox
"Nothing ever makes sense when you're around."
"That's a fair criticism."
"Which still doesn't explain how Ben met himself in the future, but it wasn't this guy."
"You traveled into cross-time."
"Like a parallel world?" asked Gwen
"Exactly."
"That's why the me in the future didn't remember it happening to him before."
"But you remember this." said Kevin, older Ben and older Star
"Yeah, I do." said older Ben
"Okay, don't do that again you two." said Kevin
"As Gwen guessed, cross-time is made up of parallel versions of the history we know. There are hundreds of them, a world where Gwen found the omnitrix, a world where Albedo turned into Alien X and was trapped motionless for nearly a year, A world where you didn't have to destroy the omnitrix to defeat, a world were Star never came to Bellwood." said Paradox
"Et cetera." said older Star
"Ad infinitum. These worlds are all every bit real as our own, but they cannot, must not, be allowed to leak into ours.
"Witch brings us to our problem." said older Ben
"The Hand of Armageddon." said Ben
"Vary good, Ben. It's a cross-time gateway, existing in many worlds." said Paradox
"You saw into two of them with your spell." said older Ben
"Wait a minute. If you remember that, if you remember this whole adventure, what's the problem?" asked Ben
"Yeah! If you two are from the future then that mean we are going to win." said Star
"It's because we're you two 20 years from now, if we lose, the future ceases to be." said older Ben
"He is right about that." said older Star
Then Paradox looked at his pocket watch. "If you could speed up, Kevin." said Paradox
"Wow, nobody ever asked me to go faster." said Kevin
"It's just a cross-chronal warp is opening up nearby."
Then there was a crash that shock the ship. "In the cargo bay?" asked Gwen
"I'm afraid so. I'll see you good people on the ground, probably." Then Paradox disappeared. Ben, Star, Gwen, older Ben and older Star headed to the cargo bay. The Hand of Armageddon started to glow and destroyed the straps that both Ben's put it in. As it floating in the air.
"That's not a good sign." said Star
"Something glowing and floating in the air usually isn't." said Gwen
"I figured we were toast as soon as Paradox left." said Ben
Soon the armored ninjas started to came out of the Hand of Armageddon. Then they started to charge at Ben, Star, Gwen, older Ben and older Star. "What do they want?"
"To crash us." said older Ben
"Yeah. No." said Ben as he activate the ultimatrix and hit it. "Goop! The one time I wanted Rath!" Ben used body to trip to of the armored foes. A few of the foes tried to attack Ben but the attacks just went through his slimy body. Gwen started to fire blast at the foes. As well both Star's fired blast with the older Star firing from her hands and being more powerful. Before Star could be attacked by a foe it got frozen by the older Ben. As the fight went on the older Ben started to grow huge. He started to flick some of them an slammed the ground with shacked the ship.
"What are you guys doing back there? You better not be messing up my ride!" said Kevin unknown to them two armored enemy were in there with Kevin. One of them tossed some throwing stars and destroying the controls. Alarms started to go off as the ship started to fall out of the sky.
Back in the cargo bay older Ben opened the hatch. "Keep the ninjas away from Kevin. We'll be right back." said older Ben
"Where are you two going?" asked Gwen as she could see both older Ben and older Star now in her butterfly form where at the open hatch.
"Just thought we step outside." Older Ben shrank down to normal size then they jumped out of the ship. "Jetray!" Both older Ben and Older Star flew in front of the ship and started to slow its crash and stop it before they feel off the cliff. "Whoa, Twice in one day. Or was it twice in 20 years?"
The older Ben and older Star walked over to the back where Ben, Star and Kevin were at.
"The ninjas disappeared as soon as we beat them." said Kevin
"Yeah. They do that." said Star
"You two just landed a spaceship." said Gwen a bit in shock
"From the outside. Don't forget the cool part." said older Ben
"How do you do all that without transforming?" asked Ben
"I haven't bothered to for years. Not since I discovered mt best transformation."
Then they noticed the omnitrix symbol on older Ben's chest in the way when Ben is in his ultimate transformations. "Ultimate Ben?" asked Gwen
"What power comes with that?" asked Ben
"Pretty much all of them. You'll figure it out someday." said older Ben
"How did you do magic without a wand? I can't figure it out." said Star
"Don't worry it will come to you someday." said older Star
"Anyway, why did we fly the Hand of Armadoohickey all the way into the desert?" asked Kevin
Then Professor Paradox appeared. "To destroy it." said Paradox. They carried the Hand of Armageddon to a place that Professor Paradox told them. "The male ninjas work for a being named Eon, while the female ninjas work for a being named Era. The ones from the cross-time Earths Gwen showed you with her spell."
"Eon was defeated by the Ben of that world when he destroyed their version of the Hand." said older Ben
"As well Era was defeated by the Star of that world when she destroyed their version of the Hand as well." said older Star
"That Ben and Star believed Eon and Era were destroyed as well, but they weren't. They were instead thrown out of that reality and into cross-time." said Paradox
"Since then, they been moving from one parallel Earth to the next. With Eon taking down every Ben 10 he can find." said older Ben
"As for Era, she has been taking down every Star she can find. And they only team up on Earths where the Ben 10 and Star have teamed up like here."
"Why?" asked Gwen
"We don't know. But we do know that they need an operational Hand of Armageddon to enter our world. " said Paradox
"So we're gonna bust it." said Kevin
"We're going to destroy the hand throughout space and time every version."
"Why don't you just do it with your time-travel powers?"
"There are rules, Kevin. I cannot interfere."
"Excuse me, but aren't you already interfering?" asked Gwen
"Touche. Actually, I've just come to give young Ben a warning, but that can wait."
"Until what?" asked Ben
"Until I can see if you survive."
Ben, Star, older Ben and older Star got to different sides to the Hand of Armageddon.
"Ready?" asked both older Ben and older Star
"Ready." said both Ben and Star
Ben then activated the ultimatrix and hit it. "Way big!" said Ben
The older Ben hit the omnitrix symbol as older Star turned into her butterfly form. "Clockwork!" said older Ben
"Shield us if you can." said Paradox
Gwen put up a energy dome around herself, Kevin and Paradox. Ben, Star, older Ben and older Star started to blast the Hand of Armageddon. The shock wave of there was strong. It even started to crack the dome that Gwen put up. As they blasted the Hands of Armageddon the omnitrix symbols on the Ben's startred to turn purple. As well as the crystal of Star's wand and older Star's eyes. Kevin noticed this happening. "Is that supposed to be happening?" asked Kevin
Then Professor Paradox noticed that Kevin was asking. "No. I've been deceived. Stop! Stop! He's using your power to open a breach!" said Paradox
Ben, Star, older Ben and older Star stopped firing as the fell to the ground. Then a some male and female ninja came out then Eon and Era after them. "I'm free" said both Eon and Era
"Not for long." said Ben as they started to get up.
"Narwhal blast." said Star firing a narwhal at Era
Then Eon fired a blast hitting Ben and Era fired a blast at hitting the narwhal. Soon Way Big's body started to turn and turn into dust. As well the narwhal durned to dust as well. Both Eon and Era started to laugh evilly. As Ben came out of the dust from Way Big.
Gwen fired a energy blast to seal Eon, Era and the ninjas. So Kevin and Gwen could go help Ben and Star. As the older Ben and older Star got to where Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen and Professor Paradox are. "Eon irradiated Way Big with accelerated time." said Paradox
"So is any other transformation they hits with that beam. Be careful, Ben." said older Ben
"They are who need to be careful." said Ben. Then he activated the ultimatrix and hit it. "Swampfire!" But then ninjas destroyed the dome that Gwen put up. Then Ben hit the omnitrix symbol. "Ultimate Swampfire! Take them down hard!" Ben tossed a orb from his arm the exploded and knocked back a few of the ninjas. Kevin quickly absorbed a stone and morphed one of his arms into blade like to block the blade a ninja attacked him with. Then punched the ninja. More and more ninjas started to came out of the Hand of Armageddon. Older Ben hit his omnitrix symbol
"XLR8!" Older Ben used his faster speed to knock out even more ninjas. Then he headed for Eon, but Eon flipped older Ben to the ground. Even older Star tried to attack with a charge as she fire some blast. But Era dodged the blasts and flipped older Star to the ground.
Eon and Era both were heading towards Ben and Star. "Prepare to die." said both Eon and Era as they both fired a blast at them.
"Not today." said Ben as he tossed down a few seeds and a wall of vines grew in front them to take the hit. After the vines were turned to dust Eon and Era where not there.
"Where?" asked both Eon and Era
"Right behind you!" said both Ben and Star. With Star now in her butterfly form. As Ben grabbed Eon by his arms. While Star wrapped Era in a magical ribbon she made with magic.
"How about you explain yourself? Why attack me over and over?" asked Ben
"And why do you attack me over and over as well?" asked Star
"Our paths are intertwined, in this and every other timeline." said both Eon and Era. Era blasted the ribbon turning it to dust freeing Era. Era fired a few blasts at Star as she dodge them in the air. Eon flipped Ben to the ground and blasted him. Then Swampfire turned to dust leaving Ben in it on the ground. Soon Star trapped into corner. "It's over." Both Eon and Era fired a blast. Before Star could get hit a a crystal looking mirror appeared in front of her blocking the blast from Era. As for Ben crystals from a Diamondhead grew out of the ground. Both blasts his the diamonds and they didn't effect them. Eon and Era looked over and saw older Ben
"Give it your best shot. Diamond doesn't particularly age." said older Ben
"We came here to destroy your younger selves, but plans can change." said Eon
Eon and Era both fired a blast at older Ben and older Star. "Contego!" said older Ben as formed a shield to protect himself and older Star form Eon's and Era's attack. Both Ben and Star saw this.
"You hang around an anodite for 20 years, you pick up a few tricks." said older Ben. As older Star opened a portal and went in it. As older Ben hit the omnitrix symbol going back to XLR8. Once the shield was destroyed older Ben quickly ran to dodge the blast and grabbed Ben. As older Star grabbed Star.
As for Kevin and Gwen they were still fighting the ninjas.
"Weird that they don't talk." said Kevin as he knocked back a few ninjas
"Probably just to intimate us." said Gwen as she blocked a few throwing stars that were tossed at her with her magic.
"Maybe. Makes me curious, thought."
"Then let's take a look. Statua!" The spell Gwen cast caused all the ninjas to freeze in place. Kevin lightly knocked on one of the male ninja's helmet but the ninja did nothing. Kevin then started to reach of the helmet. "It's gonna be creepy. I bet they don't even have mouths."
Then Kevin removed the masked and under it was Ben. "Or something worse." Kevin the removed a helmet off a female ninja an under it was Star. Kevin removed a few mor helmit and they were all the same, the male ninja were all Ben and the female ninjas were all Star.
"Ben! Star! Get over here!"
Then older Ben and older Star got there whale carrying there younger selves.
"What!?" asked Star in surprised as she and Ben saw who the ninjas where.
"This raises some questions." said Ben
"Yeah! Like, where did the two of you learn ninjitsu?" asked Kevin
"You've discovered our secret." said Eon as he and Era started to walk towards Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen, older Ben and older Star.
"You're not destroying Ben Tennysons and Star Butterflys, you two are absorbing them." said older Ben
"We feed on their power and make them our slaves."
"Of course I absorbed the Stars and he absorbs the Bens." said Era
"When we absorb you two, we'll finally have the strength to replace this timeline with a new one." said Eon. Then Eon and Era removed there helmets. Revealing that Eon was a different version of Ben Tennyson and Era was a different version of Star Butterfly. "Where I will be the only Ben Tennyson that exists."
"And I'll be the only Star Butterfly that exists." said Era
Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen, older Ben, and older Star were shock to see who Eon and Era where. The Professor Paradox appeared. "I will not allow that you two." said Paradox
"You cannot interfere, time-walker, and you know why." said Eon
"True. But should you two dare to proceed, there is nowhere in all of space and time you can hide from me."
"Like I even care." said Era
"I deal with you when it comes to it. Now I have some Ben Tennysons to absorb." said Eon
"And I have a some Star Butterflys to absorb."
"Eon didn't come through The hand of Armageddon he came from our watches." said Ben
"Then Era must have come from our wands or at lest mine." said Star
"And this whole fight, he's been leading us away from it." said older Ben
"Hold them off. I got something to break." said Ben as he started to charge at Eon and Era
"You will need some help." said Star as she followed Ben. Eon and Era tried to blast them. They dodged the attacks and jumped of them. Ben activated the ultimatrix and hit it.
"Jetray!" Both Ben and Started started to fly over to the Hand of Armageddon. As Kevin, Gwen, older Ben and older Star started to keep Eon and Ear focused on them. Even knocking them to the ground. Once Ben and Star got to the Hand of Armageddon. They started to blast the Hand of Armageddon. Eon and Era blasted the ground to trip up Kevin, Gwen, older Ben and older Star. They Eon and Era started to blast Ben and Star. But they were able to dodge the attacks as they kept blasting the Hand of Armageddon. But soon the Hand of Armageddon blew up. It send out a huge explosion. Then Eon and Era started get purple cracks all over there body. As the soon disappeared in a bright purple light. Then Professor Paradox appeared behind Kevin, Gwen, older Ben and older Star. They walked over to the crater that destroying the Hand of Armageddon. Both Ben and Star were in it on the ground from the explosion. Star and Ben were back in there normal forms. They started to grown as they got up. "Not so loud. I'm trying to sleep." Kevin, Gwen, Paradox, older Ben and older Star walked down into the crater.
"Then sleep soundly in the knowledge that Eon and Era are no more. And that all of the cross-time worlds with which they interfered will shortly return to normal." said Paradox
"You both knew this was going to happen. It happened to you before." said Ben
"Eon and Era had messed up the timeline so bad. We weren't entirely sure we hadn't ended up in a parallel world." said older Ben
"I can confirm that this is the original timeline. But the cost of victory was high. Young Ben lost Way Big and both Swampfires today. If only there were some way to restore them." said Paradox in a way to give older Ben a hint
"Yeah, okay. I get it. I'll put them back in your playlist." said older Ben as he messed with younger Ben's ultimartrix.
"While you're at it, how about giving me master control?" asked Ben
"Nice try, but I'm already in enough trouble with Azmuth. There you go. I just unlocked everything you've ever become up until now"
"Really? Thanks!"
"I also threw in a few new ones, because it'll annoy Azmuth when he finds out."
"Sweet new forms." said Star
"Time to go. But first, a warning to my young friends. Beware Old George. Beware the creature from beyond. So long!" said Paradox. Then him older Ben and older Star disappeared.
"What did he mean by that?" asked Gwen
"Who knows? I never understand what he's saying. I just tune him out." said Kevin
"Whatever the problem is, I know we can handle it. It's hero time." said Ben
