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 372: Omni-Reboot! Part 2.

In collaboration with Red16Dragon.

(Duskfall Desert, Nevada.)

Lincoln opens his eyes and he sees that everything around him is real. 'Dang! I really thought it was all some bad dream. Looks like Luna and the others are still trying to find us.' He then sees his twin still asleep, so he gets up and looks to the campfire.

Lincoln then goes over and he lights a fire and pulls out something from his Netherdrakes saddle bag, which his mount then wakes up. Lincoln pets his head. "Keep sleeping big guy, I just need to make something for all of us to eat later."

The Netherdrake nods and gets back to sleep and then Lincoln sees Hex sound asleep and mumbling. "Back …. Foul zombies … I will …. Will not yield."

Lincoln smirks. 'This Hex is afraid of zombies? Wow, he has so much less in common with the Hex we know.' Lincoln then places down the pan onto the fire and he has the cooking oil ready, then he sees Linka getting up. "Morning sis, just making some early breakfast for us and the others."

Linka yawns and stretches. "Cool, let me help you out bro." She goes over and helps with the cooking.

(Minutes later.)

The sun then comes up and Grandpa Max, Ben and Gwen come out of the RV and they see Hex, Lincoln and Linka already eating. "Whoa! Didn't think you kids could cook breakfast for us" said Grandpa Max. "Very impressive."

"We learned that when it comes to a big family, we gotta do what we can to help out" replied Lincoln. "It's the right thing to do. Go ahead and eat guys, before it gets cold."

Ben and Gwen eat the bacon and eggs. "Whoa! You guys are such good cooks, are you two sure Hex didn't make this?" asked Gwen.

"I am in cuffs and I can't use my magic and I have to be fed by a dragon. Does it look like I'm in any condition to fend for myself?" said Hex. He then eats another spoon full of food. "This isn't bad actually."

"So, you make breakfast for your family? You two are kids and should be at least having fun" replied Ben he then eats his bacon and eggs. "And what is it with you and your big sister anyway?"

"We do when we have free time, but we got lots of responsibilities to deal with and with a lot of siblings in our family we can have all the fun we want. With or without them" replied Linka.

"And for your information Tennyson, I'd rather not tell you the emotional relationship my sister and I have, it's way too personal and only those I trust can know" replied Lincoln. "But the one thing you should know is that when my sister is around and when we get into a state of emotional conflict and need each other, then we become something that isn't human."

"Is that why you possess powers?" asked Hex.

Lincoln shows them some snow coming from his hand. "My sister saved me by donating her blood, so yeah I have powers of both ice and demonic, and no I am not an evil person. A threat? Sure, evil? Nope."

"Whoa!" said Ben and Gwen with amazement. "So, your sister is half demon?" asked Hex.

"Not really, she just got a cursed demonic crown that she now treats as a gift alongside a cursed undead sword that can raise an army of the dead" replied Lincoln. He and Linka then see Hex's unnerving look. They knew he'd act like that, he is terrified of zombies.

(Later.)

They all finish eating breakfast and are all packed up. "Okay then, everything is cleaned up and we're ready to help you guys find a way back home" said Grandpa Max. "So, how do we find this arcane hotspot thing?"

Hex sighs. He then looks around and he closes his eyes and sniffs the air, then his eyes glow. "Not too far, there is a town that was once a land that withheld an incredible source of arcane, there is where we will find the arcane energies."

Gwen checks her GPS. "Says here the town not too far is the town of Dusk and Wallow."

Lincoln and Linka are a bit confused by that name. 'Why does that sound like Duskwallow from Azeroth?' Lincoln and Linka then hop aboard their mounts. "Then let's get to that town and get the heck back home" said Lincoln.

"And take this book back to the Guardian, he'll be wondering where it's been" replied Linka. "Also, Hex is riding with us."

"That is something I look forward too, I am not riding with that boy and his family and that vehicle of theirs!" Hex is then lifted off the ground by Shall'Cross. "Wait what? I thought I was riding with you?!"

"Not so fast there Hex" said Lincoln. "We said you can ride with us, but we didn't say how. So, you'll be carried by Linka's Netherdrake until we get to the location, are we clear?"

Hex sighs. "Fine. This is still better." then he sees Ben and Gwen taking pics of him. "This is going to be one moment I will never ever live down."

"Alright, let's take off" said Lincoln. "Hang on!" They look to Ben. "Is it cool if I fly with you guys?"

"Not gonna happen Tennyson" replied Linka. "The location is a thirty minute drive and your Omnitrix has the time limit of ten minutes. So, you'll fall when the times runs out. Sorry Ben."

Ben groans. "Dang it! What about my older self? How long can he last?"

"As long as he wants to, but at times the Omnitrix has to rest. That watch also has its limits and it cannot last longer than 3 to 5 hours" replied Lincoln. "We should get going now, the sooner we leave the faster we can get to the town before trouble comes."

"Then let's get to it then." Grandpa Max along with Ben and Gwen get into the Rust Bucket and they drive off, Lincoln and Linka take to the skies with their Netherdrakes while carrying Hex.

(In the RV.)

Ben looks out the window and sees them flying high in the sky. "Wow! Would sure like to see how they handle kicking bad guy butt. Their team sounds so cool!"

"Ben, you know they won't let us go to their world. They have rules you know and they aren't into any kid stuff like you do, or what I do. At least show some respect for them" replied Gwen. "Besides, they just wanna go home."

"Hey, I do show respect" said Ben. "When they do some cool action stuff, I mean they took down Hex with ease before I came and kicked his butt. They got dragons and met our future selves!"

"To be clear on that one Ben. Lincoln and Linka said they met the prime universe version of you, the one who has a better …. Grandpa Max." The 64 year old man stays silent then speaks, "But that doesn't account to the fact he has the same taste in food as I do, and for the record you won't be like the future self they told you about. He's far different and there are other worlds where there's a kid with an alien morphing watch."

Ben sighs. "Yeah, you're right. But it would be so cool to meet my other future self and see how many aliens he has and how many bad guys he's faced! Like Zombozo, or Animo, or Billy Billions, or Kevin or Vilgax!"

"Easy Ben, easy. Let's not get over excited here. Like they said, they just wanna get back home" said Gwen. "They're family is probably worried by now."

(After a long drive.)

"There it is guys" said Grandpa Max. "The town of Dusk and Wallow, and they have a new statue too." They drive into the town with the dragons high above and ready to land.

"Hey Lincoln" said Linka. "Do you think the townsfolk would be freaked out if they saw our Netherdrakes?"

"Only one way to find out." They both low fly with Hex still being carried and they look around and see the folks there aren't really bothered by such creatures and just look in awe. "Huh, I guess the folks in this world aren't really shocked unless it's attacking. This is nice, kinda reminds me of home."

"There are a lot of incidents that involved Tennyson turning into aliens and people not even bothered unless there is an eminent attack, like me" replied Hex. "And a couple of other random bad people, and … What the heck is that?"

The Rust Bucket stops and the Netherdrakes land in front of the statue and they see what it was. "What the heck? Why does this look like Gyro?" asked Lincoln.

Linka sighs. "There are a lot of things the Guardian did not tell us and this looks like one of them."

"Huh, so that's the guardian you guys know?" asked Gwen. "He looks kinda fancy."

"Looks kinda old to me" said Ben.

"Gyro has been around for a long, long time. He came from our world during the ancient era of the Roman conquerors, but we don't know his exact age since he has been through worlds and may have had an alter in his current age" replied Lincoln. "Realm traveling can be confusing at times."

"I'm already confused" said Grandpa Max. He checks his phone. "It says here the hooded founder is the one who made this place centuries ago when settlers came after being lost. He made this small town and flourishing life so they can survive and then he just flew off as a raven and never came back."

Lincoln and Linka go wide eyed and so does Hex and the Netherdrakes. "Something tells me that he did not mean to be the founder of this place" said Hex. "You should speak with your guardian when you two get back home."

Ben then goes to the shopping window and sees what was in the store. "No way! The new Sumo Slammer trial of the Fists is out now! Cool! And it's on sale too!"

Hex then looks around with his eyes glowing. "You two aren't like him right?"

Lincoln and Linka use some magic trackers on their phones. "Nope."

"But we only get excited when we go to the one sport we adore and like to see, video games is barely a thing for us. But at times we're inspired to make some cool songs for some games, or from history" said Lincoln.

"We got something" said Linka. They follow her and she goes to the statue. "Oh, so either the statue has the arcane inside, or it could be underneath."

Hex then focuses his magical detection. "Underneath the statue is the source, there is a massive conjuring of arcane magic and it is still thriving and nearly limitless."

"Well then, we're gonna have to find a way to get to that magic without getting the statue damaged" said Gwen. Then Ben hit's his omnitrix."

Ben was now Fourarms. "No problem guys, I can lift this thing up and we can get that magic stuff." He then goes over to the statue, but then the nearby electronics store is destroyed and Ben turns around. "No! They were on sale too!" Then one of the games lands in front of him unharmed. "Oh hey one survived."

The people of the town start running and taking cover from this attack. They then look up onto what did the damage. A giant steam powered robot scorpion, and who's piloting it? Steam Smythe! "Behold people of this new and disgusting modern world, for I have come to rid this generation of the modern tech with my steam scorpion!"

"Who the heck is this guy?" asked Linka.

"Steam Smythe" replied Gwen. "He hate modern tech and wants to bring back the tech from the past, or in this case Steam Powered machinery."

"This is getting out of hand and the statue has been damaged" said Hex. They all turn around and see the arm is missing.

"Well, looks like Gyro isn't gonna like his statue being harmed." Lincoln then activates his mask. "Let's take this vintage man down for the steel welded count." He arms his Shredder Blaster, and has Mjolnir ready in his other hand and it sparks electricity.

Linka activates her mask and she looks to the steam powered machine. "Hold you fire brother, I think I can take this thing down with one HEAT bullet." Lincoln then backs off and Linka arms her calibrate sniper rifle and takes aim.

"You guys use actual bullets?" asked Gwen. They then back up and let Linka take aim. "Sometimes we do, but only when the situation demands it" replied Lincoln.

Fourarms is keeping Steam Smythe occupied and Linka spots the weak spot. "Time to steam off you oversized piece of metal trash." She then fires one HEAT bullet and it goes through the pipes and then into the main coaling plant and it detonates.

Soon the entire machine starts to swerve and malfunction. "What? What has happened? What have you done to my creation?!" Ben backs off from this. "I didn't do anything."

"I did." They look to Linka who then puts her sniper rifle onto her shoulders. "All I had to do was fight old fashioned with old fashioned and since that is a steam powered machine, all I had to do was send one HEAT bullet into the main pipes powering the thing and then it heads for the main source of power and over heats it and therefore the whole thing will be pressurized and break down, see logic."

Steam Smythe smirks. "Impassive show of combat and skills, you know far more about the greatness of steam powered weaponry Madame, thus I tip my hat to you! But I shall return!" Steam Smythe then activates his ejector seat and he flies off as his seat has a steam powered rotor on it.

Linka looks to her Netherdrake. "You know what to do girl." Shall'Cross nods and she sends a blast of fire that takes down the rotor and Steam Smythe lands in front of police. Yup, he is going back to jail.

"Well, now that that's over we should get back to claiming the arcane" said Hex. Fourarms is about to lift the statue again, but then it gets destroyed by a powerful magical blast. "Oh no."

"I found it! And I found you Gwen!" They all see the white haired girl, Charmcaster. "You think you can come here and claim it for … Uncle Hex? Wh-What are you doing here? Why are you with them? And why are you shackled?"

"I can only assume you are here to claim the magic as well" said Hex. "It's not worth it Charmcaster, the magic is too much and would cause tremendous damage at an unstable proportion! I must use this arcane to try and create a portal to send something beyond magic back into its world., along with these two other worldly children." Lincoln and Linka wave at her.

"You are a lot different from the Charmcaster we know and I can only assume you are going through some murderous intent on taking down Gwen" said Linka. Shall'Cross roars at the magic girl.

"Classic old fashioned evil Charmcaster, glad ours is a good person now." Lincoln then splits readies his shredders blasters to fire and ice. "We're not letting you take this magic girl!"

Charmcaster looks to all of them angrily. "Clearly you have manipulated my uncle into some sort of trick. Well I will not stand for this!" She then uses her book and sends bolts of energy towards them.

Linka looks to Ben and she touches his Omnitrix logo and he turns into Cannonbolt. "Whoa what?"

"Stop talking and defend the others!" said Linka. She then takes cover with her brother and Hex and they try to counter the magical girl.

Ben goes over Gwen and Grandpa Max and he blocks off all the magic from Charmcaster's attacks. "I think I need someone who can try and take her down."

The Netherdrakes take to the skies and keep her occupied. Lincoln then runs to Ben and he hits the omnitrix logo and Ben turns into Overflow. "Whoa! Thanks, this can work!" He sends water blasts at Charmcaster and Lincoln aids in freezing the water.

Charmcaster manages to duck and send a counter attack and they all take cover. Charmcaster sees she is overwhelmed by this and she sees the hole where the statue used to be and the arcane essence within. "If I cannot have this source of magic, then none of you will!" Her eyes flow and she readies for one final attack.

"Charmcaster no! Don't be a fool!" yelled Hex. But it was too late, she sends one single bolt of magic and it detonates the arcane hole and the essence is gone. "No! What have you done?!"

Charmcaster snickers. "I don't need that magic, you have the book. Now give it to me!" Linka pulls Hex back into cover and she removes his stasis cuffs.

"What are you doing?"

"She's your niece, she just destroyed the one thing we could've used to go back home, so figure it out Hex." Linka then whistles and she rides onto her Netherdrake and takes off. Hex smiles and he floats into the air and starts in taking down his niece with his own brand of magic, but not too hard she's still family to him.

Lincoln then takes cover and he reloads his weapon. 'How the hell do we get back home now?! Luna, I hope you guys are having more luck then we are.'

(Royal Fortress.)

Charmcaster and Gyro are channeling magical energy onto the Omniverse map into tracking down where they could be, while Professor Paradox looks at the man as well. "The dimension we seek is not an easy find, but I do believe Gyro has been there."

"I believe so, the only issue is I don't know where it is anymore" replied Gyro. "The alternate Ben 10 dimension is out of reach and hidden."

"So, a hidden realm that is like mine, but the Ben is 10 and is obviously at the stage of trying to be a cool, boastful and sorta reckless hero" said Ben.

"Sounds kinda familiar" chuckled Charmcaster, they all chuckle at that.

Luna chuckles at this and then looks to the window with a hint of sadness. 'Lincoln, Linka. We're gonna find you guys and when we do I am not going to let you both out of my sights.' Luna then sees her Runeblade leaning onto the wall start to shake and shutter. "What?"

The others also notice this. Professor Paradox smiles. "Ah. Just in time too." He goes over to the sword. "It appears your sword is also tracking down your brother, better yet Mjolnir."

Luna grabs her Runeblade and she closes her eyes and then she opens them and she figured it out. "The only way to find this world, is to take hold of an artifact that can go between worlds at great speed!"

Professor Paradox smiles. "You know what to do Luna Frost." He then looks to the others. "The rest of you, get ready. We're about to find our missing commanders.

Gyro and Charmcaster ready their magic, and the Great Gate glows and Martin, Victor, Jack Cyber, Penny, Tadashi and Dr. Banner stand by on the Chronosphere. "What the heck is going on?" asked Leon.

Leni sheds some tears and she sees Luna stretching her hand out to the window and she closes her eyes. Leni smiles. "Luna's going to find them!"

(The Town of Dusk and Wallow.)

"I am not letting you kill yourself for that book!" Hex evades his niece's attacks and tries to counter. "It will destroy you and turn you into something you are not!" Linka flies in and also aids Hex.

Ben sprays a lot of water to attack the magic girl, but she knocks him away. "You are all not stopping me from claiming my revenge! Now hand over the book!"

Lincoln then comes out of cover and he goes rapid fire onto Charmcaster and then he takes cover, then his hammer starts to vibrate. "What the heck?"

"Is it supposed to do that?" asked Gwen. She and Grandpa Max are also taking cover next to him.

Lincoln grabs Mjolnir and he looks at the way it's shaking and Lincoln smiles. "Luna?" He then gets out of hiding. "Linka! We're going home!" Lincoln then spins Mjolnir all the while they cover fire for him. Lincoln then looks to the sky. "Show them where we are." He tosses Mjolnir into the air and it takes off and disappears.

"What was that?!" Charmcaster is about to strike Lincoln with her magic, but then something comes down and blocks her. "What?!"

She sees right in front of her is a staff and the one wielding it is a far older version of herself. "You are a pathetic piece of angry all over kid!" said Guardian Charmcaster.

Charmcaster backs off and tries to use her book, but she gets knocked away by Atomix. "Oh, sorry about that. Was that mean of me? It did look like I was hurting you Charmcaster."

Guardian Charmcaster kisses his cheek. "I was not hurt and also that is younger and different version of me who is an angry little punk, so I won't hold this against you."

Ben, Gwen, Grandpa Max and Hex see them and only have one thing to say. "No way!"

Charmcaster gets up and is about to cast another spell from her book, but then she gets frozen by her feet and she sees Luna Frost hugging Lincoln, she then breaks away from the hug and she looks onto the magical girl in anger with her Runeblade in hand and Mjolnir in the other. "Nobody hurts my brother! Nobody!" She then smites Frostmourne onto the ground and sends ice towards Charmcaster and she is frozen completely.

Hex then goes over to his frozen niece. "She is too hungry for power in order to claim her victory over Gwen, I wish I could do more for her."

Guardian Charmcaster goes to the alternate version of her uncle Hex. "You know she doesn't have much family time or any visits or support, she just needs some family time and maybe things could be different and less aggressive. She reminds me of the shattered person who I once was, the one who was out for the same goals. Well, now I'm not."

Hex looks to the Guardian Charmcaster. "I am proud of what you have become and so is the other me."

"He is, and he's still a great teacher." Guardian Charmcaster then goes over to the frozen version of herself and she casts some magic onto her. "There, now she won't have any memory of what she did today. She'll think she accidently casted a spell onto herself and you came to free her."

"Smart move." Hex then carries the frozen magical girl with his magic. "I should get going now, tell the Guardian to keep his things away from this world. The magic those relics hold are beyond me." He then teleports away with his frozen Charmcaster.

Atomix chuckles. "Well, that's taken care of." He then turns to Omniverse Ben. "And now to get back home." When he turns around, Ben is in front of him. "Hey there other me."

Ben looks to his Omniverse self with stars in his eyes. "Wow! You looked so cool! What alien was that? What can he do? Are there any other aliens like him? Do we both have the same kinds of aliens?"

Omniverse Ben chuckle. "Wow. I was one active and hyper kid wasn't I?"

"Yes, yes you were" replied Guardian Charmcaster. She then sees the 10 year old Gwen. "Wow. I don't know what the heck was I thinking into taking you down, but I guess it'll take a long time for this Charmcaster to get over her petty childhood grudge and look forward to something else."

Gwen blinks and looks to the older Charmcaster. "Wow. You are one better looking Charmcaster. Also, did you just kiss you're Ben's cheek?" The younger Ben also realizes.

"Wait a minute! What?!"

Guardian Charmcaster goes over to Omniverse Ben and kisses his cheek. "Yeah, I guess you can we're a thing. Kinda nice too, a hero who saved the universe millions of times and a former villain now Guardian."

"We're a team like that, along with your partner Rooke" replied Charmcaster.

The young ben is disgusted by this. "Oh! Gross! Seriously? Why her? What the heck is it with you other version of me?"

Omniverse Ben chuckles and sighs. "You'll figure it out when you get older, you're 10 years old and I went through this kid phase too and so did my Gwen. Though this Gwen seems nicer."

"What can I say? I gotta keep an eye on this doofus" replied Gwen.

Omniverse Ben chuckles. "That one never gets old." He then sees Gyro looking at the wrecked statue. "What's up with him?"

Gyro looks to the wreckage of his statue. "I don't even want to be the founder of a stinking town! I was just helping those people survive and they took things into the wrong perspective."

Linka goes over to Gyro and hands him the book. "This is your Gyro." The Guardian takes the book. "Make sure you haven't misplaced other artifacts and stuff over the years. Hex was trying to help us get home, and he wanted this book to go back to you."

Gyro looks to the book. "Hex did the right thing, also this is not mine. This book once belonged to Medivh and was lost after he was slain and his magic turned unstable and crippled Karazhan. Who knows how many more of his artifacts have been scattered. I will need to run through everything within the tower just to be sure. Wherever Hex is, I thank him for this."

They then see Lincoln and Luna hugging each other and Luna shedding some tears. "Lincoln, I thought ….. I thought I'd never find you again! Oh my sweet baby bro!"

Lincoln smiles and he rubs his sister's back. "You found me sis, I'm not hurt. Just pumped up from the fight, you're plan worked and I felt your presence searching for me sis."

Linka smiles seeing this. "Leni and Loni are bound to be worried about me coming back. We should head on to our worlds now."

"True." Gyro then creates a portal for them. "We're going home." They all nod and head to the portal.

"Wait!" They turn around and look to the young Ben. "Can we come and see what you guys do?" They notice Gwen and Grandpa Max signaling them to not agree.

They all look to each other and agreed. Luna, Lincoln, Linka and the Netherdrakes head onto the portal first. Omniverse Ben goes to his younger self. "You got a lot of things to learn younger alternate version of me, your family will be there to back you up just as long as you got their backs too."

Ben is confused by what he just said. "What?" Omniverse Ben then goes to the portal. "You'll figure it out soon."

They then see Charmcaster and Gyro's eyes glowing and they're speaking an incantation. "What the heck are you guys doing?" asked Gwen.

Gyro and Charmcaster smirk. "We were never here!" Then a bright light is created.

The light fades and Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max are now in the town and holding some ice-cream and looking to the rebuilt statue. They have no clue what happened or recall anything. "So, you kids ready to check out this place?" asked Grandpa Max.

"Heck yeah!" said Ben and Gwen. Then Ben stops and looks to the nearby store with stars in his eyes. "No way! The new Sumo Slammer trial of the Fists is out now! Cool! And it's on sale too!"

Yup, back to the way it was.

To be continued …..

A/N: Bet you guys didn't see that ending coming did ya now? Well, turning back to normal and everything is A-Okay, for now. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.

Date made: 7/3/20 – 7/4/20.
