Here it is! My Ben 10 fanfic! Took a while to come up with the story, but I hope you enjoy it! In this story, Ben and Gwen are both 15 years old, Kevin is 16 years old. Ben still has the original Omnitrix, Gwen has her Alien Force appearance. Ben and Julie are still a couple and Pierce is still alive. Also the Omnitrix aliens are sentient and can move and talk on their own. (I came up with the last part myself).

It was a beautiful day on 2010s Island and everyone was outside enjoying the hot weather. Children were out playing with their friends on the beach and in playgrounds while their parents watched them. Most of the people were outside on the beach or in swimming pools, trying to cool off. Some people chose to stay indoors and turned on air conditioners to keep cool. Everyone was having a wonderful summer.

Nikita was sitting on a bench enjoying the hot summer weather. She didn't have any plans for today, so she decided to relax. She was trying to think of what to do for the summer. Nikita took out her cell phone and watched Ben 10 online.

"I wonder what Ben and the gang are up to today?" She asked herself.

It has been a while since she fought any bad guys with Ben and his friends, so Nikita has been busy enjoying her summer vacation. But she was soon getting bored with the first few weeks of summer. As she was watching the show, she thought of a great idea.

"That's it! I'll throw Ben and his friends a party." She exclaimed.

Nikita put her phone away after finishing the episode. She used her magic to open a portal to the Ben 10 world. She soon arrived at Bellwood and flew straight towards the neighborhood that Ben lives in. Once she was there, Nikita landed on the ground and walked towards Ben's house. On the way, she saw children and teens playing outside as well. They were enjoying the nice summer weather too. When she got to the house, she saw the Omnitrix aliens playing in the front yard.

"Hey, guys!" Nikita calls out. "Hi, Nikki!" They all said in unison. "Where's Ben?" Nikita asked. "He's inside with Gwen, Kevin and Max." Spidermonkey said. "Okay, thanks." Nikita said.

She went inside the house and saw Gwen and Kevin sitting together on the couch. They were watching a movie together and started hugging each other.

"Hi, Gwen! Hi, Kevin!" Nikita said. "Oh hey, Nikki." Gwen said. "What's up?" Kevin said. "Where's Ben and Max?" Nikita asked. "They're out in the back grilling." Kevin said. "Thanks." Nikita said.

She went to the backyard where she saw Ben and his grandfather Max grilling some burgers on the grill. Nikita walked up to them and greeted both men.

"Hey, Ben! Hey, Max!" She called out. "Hey, Nikki. How's everything?" Ben asked. "Things are going great so far." Nikita said. "So what brings you here to Bellwood? There aren't any villains to fight today." Max said.

Nikita got out a chair and sat down. She was so excited to tell them her plan that she just couldn't take it anymore. Ben and Max noticed her excited behavior as well.

"Hey, are you feeling alright?" Ben asked. "Hmm? Oh! Yeah, I'm feeling just fine." Nikita said. "So what's got you so frisky today?" Max asked. "Well I've been thinking. What if... we throw a big party and invite all our friends?" Nikita asked.

Ben and Max looked at each other with big smiles on their faces. They thought that a party would be a great idea. Especially since these past few weeks have been quiet with no villains to fight. Maybe this would help the Omnitrix aliens feel better too, since they've been so bored without an enemy to stop.

"I think a party sounds like a great idea, Nikki." Max said. "Yeah. This maybe just the thing to cheer everyone up since these past few weeks have been very quiet." Ben said. "Great! I can't wait to tell all our friends!" Nikita said, joyfully.

Gwen, Kevin, and the aliens came to the backyard to see what all the fuss was about. They could see Nikita flying around in the air, happily doing back flips. They didn't know what was going on.

"Hey! What's up with Nikki?" Kevin asked. "Yeah? We saw her doing back flips high up from the front yard." Jetray said. "She was just making a suggestion that we throw a summer party for all of you." Max said. "Really? I love parties!" Spidermonkey said, excitedly. "Well, I think a party sounds like a great idea." Gwen said. "Then it's settled: a summer party at the county fair. It'll be the perfect place." Ben said.

Everyone cheered as they made preparations for the big party. Nikita was especially happy because she was able to make her closest friends feel better about themselves. She thought that they could use a break from all the crime-fighting and world saving adventures they always have together. After all, they deserve it for all of the times they've helped the people of Bellwood. She couldn't wait to tell their closest allies about the party.

Meanwhile, in the Null Void, there was not much going on inside the alternate dimension. Null Guardians were flying about and keeping an eye on many of the dangerous criminals that inhabit this place. The Null Void is a dangerous place used by the Galvans to house the most dangerous villains in the universe. It was a place where the worst of the worst get sent to serve time for their crimes against the universe and beyond.

In one part of the Null Void, there were cages inside of floating rocks housing some of the criminals in them. These cages were used to house those who committed crimes against the multiverse. They are considered a threat to the whole universe and must be locked up at all costs. They were never allowed to leave their cages under any circumstances, for fear of the danger they could bring to themselves and those around them.

In one such cage, in the farthest part of the line, an inmate was sitting in silence. He has been silent for a few months, waiting patiently for his chance to escape. He planned his escape for a long time now, hoping for the right moment to pull it off. Once he finds a way to leave this place, he will head towards Earth and seek revenge on the people who sent him here. Nikita, Ben, and the others had no idea what was about to unfold. They had no idea who they were soon about to face.
