To those who know this. Then you all know what this is about. This all takes place after the events of "Spell Luck" Where we now see how the lives of the former louds are, as they soon become something they did not expect to see coming, a hero group known as the Royal Defenders.

Spells and Louds

Chapter 371: Omni-Reboot! Part 1.

In collaboration with Red16Dragon.

(Duskfall desert, Nevada.)

Gwen and Grandpa Max take cover behind some large rocks. "Wow! Hex is really going at it with … Whatever it is he's doing" said Max. "What is he doing again?"

The magician Hex hears this from the old man and he tries to fend off Cannonbolt. "Ugh! For the last time! I am trying to regenerate a new kind of energy within me, arcaic mana energy and your grandson ruined it!"

"Heck yeah I did! And you ain't gonna do it again!" Cannonbolt leaps into the air and is about to slam down onto Hex, but he manages to dodge his attack and then find higher ground. "Whatever you're trying to do. You're not getting away with it Hex!"

"Foolish child! You will pay dearly for this interruption!" Hex is about to send down a blast of magical energy, but then his foot gets frozen in place. "What the heck? How is there even ice in the desert?"

Cannonbolt stops and Gwen and Grandpa Max come out of hiding. "Huh, ice doesn't usually grow in places like this" said Grandpa Max. Then they hear some roaring sounds and look up.

"What the? Are those dragons?!" asked Gwen with amazement. The dragons swoop down and pull up back to the sky and they circle the area.

"Grr! I knew this would happen! Because you interrupted my arcane regeneration incantation the spell went awry and now dragons are here from a portal! This is all your fault Tennyson!" yelled Hex.

"Hey! I was trying to stop you from, from …. From doing something bad!" said Ben. But then the Omnitrix makes a sound which he doesn't like. "Oh no." And he turns from Cannonbolt, all the way back to 10 year old Benjamin Tennyson. "Oh man!"

Hex then frees himself and looks to the dragons. "I must create the same portal to send these beasts back to where they came from!" He sends out magic, but it wasn't enough, just small bolts of energy that the dragons evade. "No! I don't have enough of the arcane! Curse you Tennyson!"

The dragons then get closer once again to Hex. Gwen notices something. "Are those people on the dragons?" Ben and Grandpa Max also look closely to the dragons coming in.

Then the dragons fly by Hex and Freezer Burn and Azure shrike leap off and land onto the ground and they point they're weapons. "Don't move Hex! We mean it!" said Linka. Then the Netherdrakes come down and land next to their riders and roar at the magician.

Hex is astonished by this. "Dragon Riders? They're not from a different timeline! They're from an alternate dimension. One where there are dragon mounts!"

Lincoln and Linka look to each other. "For the record, we're heroes and secondly these Netherdrakes were given to us on our birthday and are not from the world we're from. Also, you look a whole lot different from the Hex we know and respect. The white face is still a thing that he does, and has a hard time finding a job with it."

Hex then charges up his magic powers. "Another Hex? So, there is another world with another version of myself! Well then, tell me this strangers. Did he take over the world with his magic?"

"No" replied Linka. "He retired and now he's the beloved teacher of the college where he teaches the history of ancient spells, relics and incantations. Also, the Gwen we know goes to college there and is his top student."

Hex then stops and looks to them confused. "I'm sorry what? He retired?!" then he thinks. "Hmm, not a bad plan. Go to work as a teacher and teach the young minds about magical history. I should do that one too."

"Yeah, well lights out Hex!" Lincoln then sends bolts of fire and he dodges, but then he gets caught in a net and then gets shocked. Lincoln and Linka go towards the ensnared magician. "So, why the hell did you bring us here Hex? Talk before you get more than just ice in your pants!" Lincoln readies his shredder blaster to ice.

And the Netherdrakes come closer and get ready to torch him. "Stop!" They stop and let him speak. "I was just trying some new form of energy, which is Arcane magic and it was supposed to help me regenerate my energies and give me some new spells. But then that boy came and ruined it and instead a portal opened when the mana hotspot was interrupted. So, it wasn't my fault!"

Lincoln and Linka look to Ben. "What? He was going to do something evil, he's Hex after all."

"I wasn't even going to do anything bad!" yelled Hex as he sits up. "I was just looking for the mana hot spot and then head off to another one! Ugh, this is almost as worse when you interrupted my magic rejuvenation."

"Wow. Way to bring that up" said Gwen.

Lincoln then fires his blaster into the air and he deactivates his mask. "Okay hold up and shut up! So, we were just minding our own business taking down a bunch of rogue terrorist scum when all of a sudden two portals come out after Tennyson ruined your spell to get some arcane magic?"

"Pretty much" replied Hex.

Linka turns off her mask. "And exactly what the heck were you going to do with it?"

"Return this!" Hex showed them a book, a very familiar book. The Netherdrakes back away seeing this.

Lincoln and Linka are shocked at what it was. "That's …. That book is, is from the wizard order of the Kirin'Tor, that's a guardians tome. An old one" said Linka. "What the heck is it doing here?"

Hex sees they know. "So, you have met a guardian, that's good. I need to give this back to whoever owns this. I tried to rad it myself but the spells are beyond my reach and also I nearly got myself killed summoning an infernal."

Gwen is confused by what they just said. "A what?"

Lincoln looks to them. "An infernal is a giant meteorite beast that can lay waste to cities in a matter of seconds." He then looks back to Hex. "So you don't want this book anymore Hex?"

"This book is more troublesome than my own misdeeds. Also it backfired multiple times and I almost got burned. A lot" replied Hex. "I need to return this book before it goes into the wrong hands and does some damage, and since you two seem to know the guardian then take this and perhaps we can work together, open the portal and send you two and that book back home."

Lincoln and Linka look to each other. "Very well then."

"What?!" they look to Ben. "You're going to trust him, really?"

"He's our only shot back home and we can only assume you're the 10 year old ben who found the Omnitrix" said Lincoln. He then sighs/ "This is bad, from what we know from the 16 year old Ben. His 10 year old self is troublesome and not quite bright. At times."

"16 year old me?! What am I like?! How many aliens have I unlocked?!" Ben goes to them and starts asking them questions but then Grandpa Max stops him.

"Easy there Ben, let's not make things worse as it is now. Give them some space." They then watch as they remove the nets from Hex.

"Thank you, now all we need to do is find another arcane hotspot and then we can make a portal for you to go home" said Hex. But then he has stasis cuffs on him. "What the? What are you doing?!"

"We don't trust you still Hex" replied Linka. "You're in the bad guy phase, so it's only fair we do this to you so you don't try anything vile and betray us. Because the last thing you'd want is a fleet of ships from across the stars ready to bring down holy hell onto you."

Hex groans. "Fine, let's get going then."

"No, it's nightfall in this world and probably in ours too. We'll need some rest and so do you Hex" replied Lincoln. "One thing I know about magic and spell casters, is that they all have limits and they all need to rest and relax. You know I'm right."

Hex smirks. "You have learned from this guardian you have met. I am impressed, but are we going with them?" They look to the Tennyson's.

"What choice do we have?" said Linka. "We don't have our wallets we only have a few rations in our saddle bags, and our phones are back home and the communicators and comm links won't work here. We're completely cut off from our team."

"So yes Hex. We are going to stay with the Tennyson's" replied Lincoln.

"Fine" said Hex. "But keep an eye on that boy, he can be troublesome at times and really annoying."

"We know, 16 year old Ben told us" said Lincoln. Then he realizes. "Wait a minute, I can send Mjolnir back home. He can be able to send an energy signature through the rifts of space and then …" Lincoln stops. "Wait, I can't. That doesn't work that way, I need to send my hammer through a portal and then it comes back to me through another."

Linka puts a hand on her brother's shoulder. "Hey, it was worth a shot."

Hex sees the weapon. "Mjolnir? You wield the weapon of the god Thor?!"

"Yeah, it is a Norse mythology and yes I am worthy to wield it" replied Lincoln. "And also fuse it with my blaster and my powers."

"I … I don't know what to say." Hex then bows to him.

This confused them. "What the heck are you doing?" asked Linka.

You wield that of which no mortal can wield, therefore you have been chosen by the gods as their champion!" said Hex. "And I wish to serve you, in helping you return home."

Lincoln then chuckles. "Hex, the god didn't give this to me. The Guardian Gyro did."

Hex then looks to him. "For reals?" Lincoln, Linka and they're Netherdrakes nod and then he gets up and dusts himself. "Well then, I will still help you both return home and with this book as well. Was I stupid to bow to you?"

"Umm, sorta" replied Linka.

Hex sighs. "Oh that must've been embarrassing." He then looks to Ben laughing. "Oh stop with your infernal laughing boy!"

Ben stops and sees them going towards them. "Looks like we're all in this together now, we have to find an arcane hotspot and then Hex has to muster some energy to send us back home and then he's your problem" said Lincoln. Hex didn't like the sound of that, but he knows he's right.

"Okay then, we were about to eat dinner now. You kids can join in" said Grandpa Max.

Lincoln and Linka then recall that Max's cooking is not quite as good as it is. "We have food in our saddle bags, so we're good" said Lincoln.

"Okay then, let's start a fire and at least eat and maybe talk" said Grandpa Max. "I'd like to know more about myself."

"And myself, I go to college and I am a grade-A student still! And also the student of Hex?" said Gwen.

"I know, I can't believe it myself" complained Hex. "I just want to know how the other Charmcaster is doing. Unlike the one here who tends to be a bit over kill with her motives."

"Forget that, I wanna know how much of a hero I have been! I know I'm awesome and a lot of people probably know me!" said Ben.

Lincoln and Linka sigh. "It's gonna be heck of a night for us in this world" said Lincoln.

Nel'Thorious sees the wood in place and lights it up and this startles Grandpa Max. "Oh umm, good dragon. I think." He pets his head and it purrs to the feeling. "Hey, this guy isn't so bad. Like a big puppy."

Lincoln chuckles. "You're way less strict and combat ready than the Max Tennyson we know." They all gather by the campfire, though Hex sits as far as possible from Ben. Lincoln and Linka then tell them of the Ben 10 universe they encountered and they tell them where they came from and what they're roles are and Hex is fascinated and a bit proud as well.

(Two hours later.)

"Wow!" Ben and Gwen have stars in their eyes. "We're so awesome!"

Grandpa Max smiles. "A space cop. That sounds like a pretty cool job. Can't say much about the things I have to do to keep Ben in check, and your Ben sounds like a responsible person."

"The ben we know is 16 so it's obvious he's responsible" replied Linka as she eats her Shawarma. Yes, it was Shawarma they got in their saddle bags and they feed the Netherdrakes stakes.

"Charmcaster being a guardian, now that makes me proud. Though I am not pleased with her past actions in trying to repair Ledgerdomain" replied Hex. "And I must be one dashing teacher to be given so much love and respect."

"More aliens! Wow! That must be sweet!" said Ben. "And you guys are heroes too, awesome! I forgot, how old are you two?"

"We're 12" replied Lincoln and Linka. "We'll be 13 when we hit October" replied Lincoln.

"There seems to be some things you guys aren't telling us" said Gwen. "Like Kevin and anyone else."

Lincoln and Linka look to each other and then to the others. "There are some things you guys are not ready to know, yet" replied Lincoln. He then checks the time. "We should get to sleep now. It's getting late."

"He's right." Grandpa Max gets up and he stretches and yawns. "We have to get back on the road and find that hotspot thing that Hex needs."

Hex feels irritated by their lack of knowledge. "Arcane mana hotspot, and it's not a thingy."

"We might have some space in the Rust Bucket for you guys to stay in" said Gwen. "Linka and I can bunk together! Girl to girl time!"

Linka chuckles. "Thanks, but no thanks. Lincoln and I would rather just stay with our Netherdrakes out here. We're used to being close when it comes to going off elsewhere and waiting around." Lincoln then looks to the sky. "You okay Lincoln?"

Lincoln then wipes away a tear. "Luna, she's probably worried sick about me. Our big sis is obviously doing whatever she can to get us back home and possibly in her Frost form or her demon form and he Frost Wyrm is also enraged."

Gwen smiles. "That's sweet that you and your sister are so close. Like a mother and son."

"They kinda are almost like a mom and son" replied Linka. "I also kinda miss my big sis, and also Loni. They must be worried about us after we came here."

"Again, not my fault" said Hex.

Ben is a bit annoyed by this. "Okay, let's just get some sleep and help you guys get back home in the morning." He then goes back into the RV. Linka and Lincoln notice this.

"Sorry about Ben, he's not usually into the emotional family stuff, he's still 10 and so am I" said Gwen.

"We understand" said Linka. She and Lincoln pull out the inflatable sleeping bags. "He's still 10 and by the time he keeps growing up, then he'll see responsibility and learn from past mistakes. He's just going through the 10 year old boy phase where they wanna do what they want and try to get away with it."

Hex scoffs. "Sounds like he's the bad guy now." they then look to him. "What? It sounds true to me."

"Well, we'll see you two in the morning and then we're going to have breakfast and get to the road" said Grandpa Max.

Hex then goes over and he leans onto the sleeping Shall'Cross. Lincoln gives him a blanket. "You're not a bad person Hex. You're just misunderstood through more than a hundred years of being yourself. You'll see, in time." Lincoln then walks off and Hex sighs.

'The boy is right, I hope Charmcaster doesn't get involved with this. Otherwise this whole plan will fail.'

Lincoln gets into his sleeping bag and he sees Linka securing the book into an enchanted bag. "Gyro gave me this just in case, and it looks like this is the right thing to use it for." She then places it next to her and they both lay into the sleeping bags and look to the stars.

"Either we open a portal and make it back home, or the others will try and find us and bring us back home. Either way is a win-win" said Linka.

Lincoln sighs and he looks to the stars. "Yeah, good night Linka."

"Goodnight Lincoln." Linka gets to sleep.

Lincoln looks to the sky and whispers. "Goodnight Luna, we'll see each other soon." He then closes his eyes and gets some sleep.

(Royal Fortress.)

The whole base is sending forces to the Middle East to clean up the Anthrax from the wrecked GLA base and leading them is Boomer in his Airship, the chronosphere and Great Gates are active and enchanting energies to the FutureTech main base.

Luna is leaning to the wall with her arms crossed and is looking upset, she then looks at everyone who is on the clock in trying to find the Spellman Linck twins using everything they've got. "We got no coordinates of the energy signature still and no signs of unidentified portal anomalies" said Penny.

Martin goes through all the scanners. "No possible trace DNA from Lincoln and Linka, and no way we can recreate those two portals. Those things came out of nowhere and are possibly caused by the remaining fragmented auras from the other Multiverse and the world of Phineas and Ferb."

Jack Cyber then goes through the multiverse web. "Even with our multiverse severed from the other one, it still manages to haunt us with its essence. Makes me feel like we should've detonated it."

"This isn't going to be easy guys" said Victor. "Those two portals that took them left no trace, but instead this symbol that I finally decoded." He then puts it on screen and they all see it.

"No freaking way!" said Neil. "It was the symbol of the Omnitrix, the very same symbol they have come to know.

Leni and Loni go to the screen. "So, Linka is in another world with Ben 10 and stuff?" asked Leni.

"That is correct." They all see Gyro come into the room. "And I finally got the man who can help us find them." He steps aside and they see Professor Paradox.

"I know where they are, and I do believe they might be getting help to come back home. But getting help from Ben is not easy for them wherever they are" said Professor Paradox as he chews a gumball.

They all didn't like the sound of what he just said. "What do you mean dude?" asked Luna.

"What I mean Miss Spellman, is that the Ben they have met is 10 years old" replied Professor Paradox. They all remain silent. They know that the 10 year old Ben can be troublesome, sometimes.

"So, what the heck do we do now?" asked Dr. Banner.

"We find them through the same methods as Dr. Paradox and his ability to warp through our alternate realities." Charmcaster walks into the room, and with her is her Boyfriend 16 year old Ben Tennyson.

"Let's go and find the Co-Commanders" said Ben.

To be continued ….

A/N: Welcome to the Ben 10 reboot and to be honest, most of the bad guys there barely seem like threats and more like a mild annoyance and slight silliness. Let's hope they can get the Linck twins back. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.

A little heads up guys, this is before Ben met Glitch.

Date made: 7/2/20 – 7/3/20.
