Hello everyone, MiniTennyson here with an update of how the voting has been going on and how I thought of fleshing out the plots of each individual ideas.
Also for those asking, I haven't started writing the next chapter of Edens Ten as of yet, but I'll either start writing it tommorrow or Saturday, so don't expect it to release this week through all I can say is that I do have the chapter mapped out in my head, so it won't be that hard to write the chapter.
Anyways back to the new and updated plots and ideas:
The current rankings of the stories are:
1. Bakugan Omni Brawlers-6 votes
2. Power of The Soul-4 votes
3. The Invincible Omnitrix-4 votes
Bakugan Omni Brawlers: Ben 10 X Bakugan
Idea 1:
14-years old Ben Tennyson became just an ordinary person following him deciding to give up the Omnitrix and that's how he thought it would remain.
However, one day when mysterious cards fall from the skies and him having a fateful meeting with a mysterious bakugan known as Leonidas, Ben finds himself dealing with aliens and action once more as he gets dragged into the world of Bakugans and cards.
At first, he and his friends thought it was just a game where very real and dangerous giant monsters duke it out for supremacy without anyone getting hurt, but they were wrong, as soon a mysterious brawler known as Masquarade starts stealing the bakugans belonging to kids with the purpose of helping the evil Naga came to give more dangers to the game.
Not even that, but soon enough, Alice's grandfather Michael along with Grandpa Max suddenly disappear, and it all seems to link to an alien invasion...Ben is forced to put the watch on and go hero once more.
Note: The reason Ben is paired with Alice in this idea is because they have some similarities, little similarities but still similarities. The proeminent ones being that they're both heroic and would do anything for their friends, both had their grandfathers go missing, both were possesed by an entity at some point(For Ben Ghostfreak being similar to Alice's Masquarade) and...that would about how far the similarities go, but I s
Another thing that you may have seen is that story is an AU to Alien Force like Power of the Soul, and I know this may seem like I am uninspired but still, I think that Ben fighting bad guys with the watch while also playing Bakugan sounds like a cool idea, that being why in the second idea that may happen as well.
Idea 2:
16-years old Ben Tennyson thought he was done with being hero after the defeat of Dagon until suddenly Paradox comes around and sends him to a desertic alternate universe known as Vestroia with the goal of stopping the Vexals and saving the Bakugan.
Soon enough, he meets a group known as the Bakugan Resistance made out of six like-minded individuals banded together to overthrow the Vexal regime held over Vestroia.
However, as soon as the Vestroia Empire finds out about Ben's powers from a mysterious person named Albedo, they want the omnitrix to stomp the rebellion once and for all.
But as long as Ben is around, their plans will be foiled and Vestroia will be saved!
Note: I chose BenXMira as the ship over the one with Alice just for the nick of it as Mira is way more similar to UAF Ben personality-wise compared to Alice. What do I mean by that? Well, they're both brave and kind natural-born heroes who want to save their worlds from whatever threat comes their way and they both dislike injustice. Through the two characters have their differences, I think they will eventually put aside them, befriend each other and eventually fall in love.
Also, in this story, I think it will be more interesting to see Ben actually fight using his omnitrix against Vestal Soldiers and thugs, I mean I never understood this in Bakugan, why the heck were soldiers and thugs using Bakugan to fight instead of using actual weapons? I mean, it does make more sense if some of them would use weapons and Ben will have to fight them.
And no, I don't know yet whether Ben meet Dan, Marucho and Shin or not or if the original Bakugan world is the
Idea 3(new):
13-years old Ben Tennyson was an ordinary boy whose peers would either ignore or bully him and he had no friends, but that all changed one day when cards containing powerful beasts known as Bakugan started falling from the skies, and Ben makes a team of 10 Bakugans as he starts entering the world of the Bakugan game and befriend some kids his age.
It was all fun and games until one day, a villain group known as The Doom Beings starts taking away the Bakugan of kids and take them away to the Doom Dimension through the mysterious brawler Masquarade and the kids finding out about a war
However, that is not all that is a danger for the Bakugan Battle Brawlers, as the team starts breaking apart after finding out there is a traitor amongst them, Ben suspecting Alice of being Masquarade and one of Ben's Bakugans Ghostfreak starts acting strange...
Could the team overcome the dangers and save both Earth and Vestroia before its too late...?
Note: This idea in particular isn't really "mine" as Shinobi360 gave me the idea, I just thought how it will go in a story as a summary.
It was mainly inspired by a fanfic with yugioh known as BEN GX with a similar thing of making Ben's transformation into cards.
As for the pairing in this story, it could either be Alice like in the first idea or Runo or Julie.
Runo because she is snarky and somewhat ego-centric like Ben and they are both stubborn and rebellious.
By Julie I mean Bakugan Julie not Julie from UAF, I think she is more similar to Ben than both Runo and Alice combined, as they are both snarky, friendly, heroical, make snappy comments and jokes and even think that their friends are their most valuable thing in life.
Thanks again for Shinobi360 giving me the idea.
Power of The Soul: Ben 10 X Soul Eater
15-years Ben Tennyson gave up the Omnitrix 4 years ago after an incided and sweared to never use it ever again, however after Death himself asks Ben to join a school known as DWMA, the teenage hero must wield the omnitrix once again and hunt down Witches and Kishin Eggs.
Ben moves to the town of Death City, Nevada and gets enrolled in DWMA as a Special Case Meister, whatever that would mean, and after he has to climb a giant staiecase, the omnitrix wielder's first classes begin as he is put in the N.O.T. Class. Non-Combatant Orientation Class? Aww man! And I wanted to have some action!
Not even the first day of school and the hero already made troubles as Ben meets his new partner Tsugumi Harudori, is attacked by a bully and accidentally reveals his secret to everyone in school. Great first day, isn't it?
While he tries to accomodate to the life in Death City and DWMA together with his new weapon partner, Ben must also deal with an alien invasion, a traitor being infiltrated in the DWMA and other villains, both old and new.
Note: After some people gave me ideas on having Eunice and Blaire being Ben's partne and or love interest but after thinking it through, I decided to go the NOT! route and make Tsugumi Ben's weapon partner while getting rid of Meme and Anya(why may you ask? Because I find those two so frickin' annoying and what drag Soul Eater NOT! down. Sorry for those Meme and Anya fans but I just hate them.)
As stated in the summary, this will mostly adapt the story of Soul Eater NOT! at the start with the proper Soul Eater stuff acting as an continuation to it while the UAF things happen in the background, such as the Highbreed down-playing their tactics to not be that aparent, etc.
The Invincible Omnitrix: Ben 10 X Invincible
After 17-years old Ben saved the universe, he thought he'd be a hero at the top of the world but that all went down when superpowered individuals start appearing and a new hero known as Omniman starts fighting crimes that Ben should.
He thought that everyone forgot him, that Ben 10 will be a name forgotten by many, but one day after the superhero team Guardians of The Globe is brutally slaughtered and Omniman being out of comission, the government calls Ben to choose who will be part of the new Guardians of The Globe and help the government solve the gruesome murder of the original team.
Ben soon befriends a like-minded hero named Mark Grayson, son of Omniman, as the two discover that superhero isn't what it was once anymore, as their powers become so powerful that they could accidentally harm or even kill someone without wanting to.
As all of the clues reach the conclusion that Omniman is the one who killed the Guardians of The Globe and as Mark and Ben deal with the new brutal superhero stuff...things just got a lot more interesting.
And soon...Omniman puts his plan in motion.
Note: So...I decided to change some things around a bit so the story happens after Omniverse, so Ben is as old as Invincible's main characters and so that he and Mark may be able to relate to each other more.
And yeah, I made Ben's powers be stronger than in canon, him accidentally hurting people and even killing them may happen often, like how it happens with Mark. Yeah, the omnitrix still has a safeguard to ensure Ben doesn't kill anyone, but that just happens sometimes and Ben must cope with killing people.
And for those asking, yeah, I will possibly adapt the entirety of the Invincible comic that happen post S1 of the tv show and Ben will probably have new forms like a Vildromite form.
Answering some reviews:
Maximum Rhapsody: Your vote counts! Thanks for the idea, noted!
Squidsquito: Thank you for voting! I think Ben being partenered with Blair sounds interesting, and Ben could awaken his anodyte potential and allow him to use magic. But we will see.
Shinobi360: Thanks for voting and glad you like my ideas!
Phantom Thief of Hearts: Thank you for voting and I think so too. Yeah, if Bakugan Omni Brawlers win, there will be a poll to choose which of the ideas I use.
Yeah, I do take suggestions and I thank you for your suggestions, but unfortunately, I'm not familliar with most of what you lined down or I know but I didn't watch it. To be honest, out of these I only watched a bot of GATE(1 episode) and The World God Only Knows(1 episode) while I completely watched the first season of Infinite Stratos while still not watched S2.
They do seem interesting and I may even make pitches on them snd post them here or through a PM, but before I even consider writing stories out of them, I'll have to watch/read them first.
Some series I don't know if Ben would work well in the GATE, The World Only Knows or Infinite Stratos. The reasons?
For Gate: The story is about a soldier who gets isekai'd and has to convince humanity not to attack this new world. The entire story is about the MC and his allies trying to end an war. If Ben would be involved, he'd pretty much stop the war in mere seconds if he were to use Alien X and a few days max(like in Frogs of War and War of the Worlds).
For The World Only God Knows: The series is about a shut-in who has to convince
The story also has almost no similaritiea to Ben 10 whatsoever. Ben may have made a few girls fall in love with him in the past, but it wouldn't be like him at all to make girls fall in love with him without mutual feelings. Also, the series is supernatural, has random things happening in it and it is a parody. I don't really know how to write humor that well, and given that there is nothing remotely action-oriented in it...that is the reason I can't make a crossover with it.
For IS: The main problem is not that the story is a cliche harem, as that's why I liked the anime in the first place, but I didn't understood why only girls could drive robot suits while they seemed just like an ordinary robotic suits. Also, one of the main idsues I take with this idea, is that they fight using robots for sport and fun purposes, if Ben were to be in it ande use the Omnitrix, he'd be cheating and probably even hurt the girls pretty badly in combat and be disqualified. So...that's my reasoning for refusing it.
Now, onto the ones I'm interested in are Familiar of Zero, UFO Maiden Valkyrie and Dogs Days, and will explain why shortly.
Familiar of Zero: Simple reasoning, the series seems to be a somewhat interesting and funny spoof on Harry Potter and it won't really take me long to read/watch the series. Also, the other crossovers I seen don't seem to go that deep in this concept and I thinl it would be a fun and short crossover to write.
Dog Days: Even through there is a similar issue with IS, with the wars being just sport, but in this one they actually fight with weapons and there is the danger of the enemy team taking control of the countries so...stakes. Also, I think it would be interesting to see what Ben would do in this strange world of kemono-mimi and war sports.
And lastly, UFO Maiden Valkyrie: From what O have read on wikipedia, the series is very short and it happens in a world where aliens live on earth like Ben 10's and it also would make sense for Ben transforming into female, as it was even stated that the omnitrix can transform Ben into female. The thing I don't know about, through, is the fact that in the original series, Valkyrie kills the MC while in this one, even if Ben is mortally wounded, the omnitrix will heal him or transform him into the needed alien to survive. And the fact that an entire galaxy is after Valkyrie, will allow Ben to fight villains he encountered before and those from the series. Another thinh I don't think I like is that Valkyrie becomes 8-years old, I know she's basically an adult, but I don't feel especially comfortable with having an 16-years old Ben falling in love with a little girl, but I dunno, I'll read/watch the series first and then judge it.
I'm hope you're happy with the answers and once I think about some pitches, I'll PM fhem to you to see if they would seem intereating.
