Ben Tennyson awoke to find himself free falling in the air down into a large forest below. Not able to transform quick enough, Ben was lucky enough to fall into a tree. After getting himself out of the tree, Ben tried to contact his partner and his grandfather. Unable to contact both of them, Ben would soon discover that there wasn't any nearby Plumbers at all. With that revelation, Ben decided to follow a nearby river to the nearest town or village. Along the way, Ben ran into a young girl who knew her way around the forest, together they set off to the girl's village. After taking a break the two ended up being attacked by a large bear Danger Beast. The bear Danger Beast attacked the young girl and badly wounded her, using his omnitrix, Ben transformed into Four Arms and took care of the bear allowing him to grab the young girl and get her somewhere safe.
Unknown Forest: Unknown Location
Resting by a fire, Ben watched over the sleeping young girl, making sure that she was alright. Her wounds were deep and bad, luckily Ben used Heatblast to cauterize the wounds. He then used Snar-oh's bandages to wrap up her wounds so they wouldn't get infected. It was dark out and Ben had found a good spot to set up camp for the night. Hopefully the young girl would be better by morning and actually wake up. Looking up at the night sky, Ben still couldn't believe what had happened for him to end up here, wherever that was.
Flashback
City Streets: Bellwood
Driving along the streets of Bellwood was Ben and his Revonnagander partner and friend Rook. They two were out on patrol, driving around in Rook's prototruck, making sure no evil was going on. As of right now the two hadn't run into anything and Ben was starting to get bored.
"I must ask why it is that as you put it, "fiddle" with the omnitrix?" Rook asks Ben, looking over and seeing him activate and deactivate the omnitrix
"I'm sorry Rook, it's just that I am super bored and it seems like there aren't any bad guys around for us to fight" Ben said with a sigh as he looked out the window
"Is that not a good thing or is it some Earth custom I do not yet understand?" Rook asked Ben
"It's not necessarily a bad thing Rook, just a waste of our time, I mean you and I saved all of reality and watched the universe be created, I just want something to top that or at least someone jaywalking" Ben answered
"I think I understand what troubles you Ben, you do not wish to become complacent and seek to be "the hero" as you put it" Rook says as he continues to drive
"You could say that, I mean what's the point of me having the omnitrix if I can't use it to save the day" Ben replies as he leans back in his seat
"Do not worry Ben, I am sure that something will happen that will lift your mood" Rook tells Ben, sounding confident
"I hope you are right Rook, this time I want something to happen heck, I'll take Vilgax invading the planet or even the Vreedles trying to rob a bank or museum" Ben tells Rook as they continue to drive down the road
It was at that exact moment that a massive portal opened up right in front of the prototruck, causing Rook to quickly hit the breaks
"What is that?" Rook asked, looking at the unknown portal
"Whatever it is, it definitely can't be good, be ready for anything Rook" Ben answers as he gets out of the prototruck
Rook quickly takes off his prototool and sets it to blaster mode before he leaves the prototruck to join Ben
"I am right behind you Ben" Rook tells Ben as he slowly follows behind Ben
Ben with the omnitrix activated and ready to use, he slowly starts to approach the portal, not knowing where the portal came from or what would come out of it. As if right on cue, a figure slowly began to walk out of the portal, causing Ben and Rook to quickly back up. Once they saw what came out of the portal, the two grew immediately confused.
"Who the heck is this guy?" Ben asks
"I do not know" Rook answers
Standing before Ben and Rook was a man with long brown hair, a large burn mark on the right side of his face and a pale colored eye. The strange man wore a black outfit with a white button up over his shirt along with a long red cape that had a hood.

"Hello there, you must be the great Ben Tennyson, hero of heroes and the one I've come to collect" the man says, greeting Ben
"Who are you strange man?" Rook asks the man, aiming his prototool at him
"And what do you mean collect?" Ben asks the man
"Who I am doesn't matter, I am just a mere servant of a great celestial being and is my duty to put his stories into action" the strange man answers Rooks question
"You didn't answer my question, why do you want to collect me?" Ben asks the strange man
"I was aware that you were informed of this transaction, I guess not, either way I am to collect you and send you to a place where all of your skills and even morals will be put to the test" the strange man answered Ben's question
"That doesn't sound fun" Ben said
"I will not let you take Ben strange man" Rook tells the strange man, readying his prototool
"I was hoping this would be peaceful but you wouldn't be the first Ben to put up a fight" the strange man says with a sigh
"Time for some hero action" Ben says as he slams the core of the omnitrix down
In a flash of green light, Ben was transformed into the alien that he selected. When the light faded away, it was revealed that Ben had transformed into a large and bulky rock-like alien. It had sharp stalagmites sticking out of each of its shoulders and arms.

"Rocks? Huh, I was hoping for Diamondhead, gotta get Azmuth to get master control already" Ben says to himself as he sees what he transformed into
"We need to focus Ben, ready yourself" Rook tells Ben
"Gotcha Rook, don't worry about me" Ben responds as he gets into a fighting stance
"This should be interesting" the strange man said with a grin
Immediately Rook fired his prototool at the strange man, firing multiple energy blasts at them. The strange man didn't move out of the way either, he stood there and simply stuck out his arm. It was then that the energy blasts Rook fired stopped midair right in front of the man.
"You are an extremely skilled Plumber Rook Blonko of Revonnah but you are unfortunately not the one I am after, my master tells me there are plenty of stories with you in it" the strange man tells Rook
All of a sudden, the energy blasts Rook fired at the strange man turned to dust and blew away in the wind
"That isn't good" Ben said seeing what had happened
"Ben, I have one of those so-called "bad feelings" as you put it about this situation" Rook tells Ben, sounding worried
"I gotcha partner, leave it to me, just stay back and contact the other Plumbers for help" Ben tells Rook
"I am on it" Rook responds as he runs to the prototruck
"I must inform you that the Plumbers won't be able to help you, I've been sent to collect a Ben and I do not wish to disappoint my master" the strange man tells Ben
"We'll see about that pal, you've got no idea who you are messing with" Ben tells the strange man
Ben then charges forwards at the strange man and begins to use Rock's powers to shake the earth beneath the strange man's feet. To the surprise of Ben, it didn't seem to do much to the strange man as he was floating off of the ground.
"Get down from there" Ben says to the strange man as he digs his hands into the ground and creates a ground tsunami to hit the strange man
"That won't work either" the strange man says
All of a sudden, the strange man touched the wave of road coming at him which caused it to suddenly go backwards and hit Ben before returning to normal
"What the heck just happened?" Ben asked as he pulled himself up from the car he crashed into
"Ben!!! It appears that this foe has the ability to control the flow of time" Rook yells to Ben from the prototruck
"You are half right Rook Blonko, my master gave me a few certain gifts when he made me, all designed to stop and subdue unruly characters" the strange man said as he floated there
"I don't care what powers you have, I'm not going with you" Ben said as he charged forwards at the strange man
"Unfortunately you do not have a say in that matter, what is done is done" the strange man says in a serious tone
All of a sudden, the strange man appeared in front of Ben and stopped him from moving, slowly lifting his body up into the air without touching him
"Ben, NO!!!" Rook yelled as he ran for Ben
"You go nowhere" the strange man said
All of a sudden the ground beneath Rook turned to a black liquid that went up to his legs and slowed him down. Before Rook could do anything, the liquid quickly returned back to solid asphalt, trapping him.
"ROOK!!!" Ben yelled as he struggled to move his body
"Let us take care of you now" the strange man says as he turns his attention back to Ben
With a sudden flick of his finger, Ben's rock-like body shattered to pieces and was flung away, revealing him to be back in his human form
"What the heck just happened?" Ben asked, seeing that he was no longer in alien form
"That is taken care of, now to send you off" the strange man tells Ben
"What are you going to do?" Ben asks the strange man
"This" the strange man answers with a smile on his face
All of a sudden a portal opened up beneath Ben as he floated there in front of the strange man
"Try not to get cut and die or get frozen to death" the strange man tells Ben
"What?" Ben asks confused
"I guess you'll figure it out" the strange man says
Before Ben could say anything else, he then stopped floating in the air and was dropped into the portal beneath him, the portal closing as soon as he went inside it
Flashback Over
Unknown Forest: Unknown Location
"I swear when I find that guy, I am going to give him a real piece of my mind" Ben says to himself quietly
"What? Where am I?" The young girl asks as she suddenly wakes up
"Your finally awake!!!" Ben says excitedly as the girl fully opens her eyes
"What do you mean I am finally awake?" The young girl asks Ben
"That bear thing attacked us and got you pretty good, I managed to fight it off and get us somewhere safe where I could treat your wounds" Ben answers
The young girl lifts up the bottom of her dress and sees the bandages that were wrapped around bee stomach and chest. A sudden headache caused the young girl to grab her head, she then remembers something that happened when the bear Danger Beast attacked them
"Where is the four armed creature that fought off the bear?" The young girl asked as she quickly grabbed Ben's arm
The quick and sudden movement caused the girl to feel a strong pain in her body that made her flinch
"Take it easy, your body is still recovering" Ben told the young girl
"I see" the young girl said as she leaned back against the log she was sitting against
Once the pain had gone, the young girl asked Ben about the four armed creature once more
"Where did that four armed creature go?" The young girl asked Ben
Ben was hesitant to tell the young girl that he was the four armed creature and that he could transform into other things as well. However, Ben didn't want to lie to this girl after everything she had done for him and everything they had been through. Making a decision, Ben decided that it would be best if he told the girl the truth but not everything, not telling her about him falling through a portal.
"You see the thing is, that four armed creature was me, I can transform into it" Ben answered, telling the young girl that he was the four armed creature
The girl didn't say anything, she was quiet as Ben had told her the truth about him being the four armed creature
"You don't have to lie to me, you can tell me the truth" the young girl said, not believing Ben
"But I am not lying to you, it is the truth, you see this thing on my wrist allows me to transform into that four armed creature as well as other creatures" Ben told the young girl showing her the omnitrix
The girl looked at the omnitrix and touched it, causing the omnitrix playlist to appear. Rearing back, the young girl was cautions but also curious about the omnitrix and who Ben really was.
"I don't necessarily believe you but I don't think you are crazy either, thank you for helping me, tomorrow let us continue down the river" the young girl said
Ben was glad that she didn't think he was crazy even if she didn't believe him, hopefully they'd reach the young girl's village tomorrow
"You know, you never did give me your name" Ben said to the young girl
"What do you mean?" The young girl asked Ben
"Well, I told you my name the first time we met but you never gave me yours" Ben answered
"Huh, guess I didn't, my name is Serena" the young girl said, giving Ben her name
"Serena huh? Nice name" Ben said as he leaned back against the log
"Thank you, my mother gave it to me" Serena replied
With that, the two began to relax for the remainder of the night as the fire continued to burn. While Serena slept, Ben stayed on guard, looking out for anything that would attack them.
Time Skip
Early in the morning, both Ben and Serena woke up early and continued on their way down the river towards Serena's village. Serena had told Ben that her village was only a few more miles from where they were and that they'd make it there before the sun went down. Ben was glad that he was almost out of the forest but he wasn't going to let his guard down in case that bear Danger Beast decided to come back for them. As they walked, there was a loud roar behind them, Ben and Serena turned around and saw the bear Danger Beast standing behind them. The bear Danger Beast was covered in scars from getting hit by the tree Ben used and landing wherever and it looked extremely angry.
"What do we do?" Serena asked Ben
"Go run for cover, I'll deal with fuzzy wuzzy over here" Ben answered as he readied the omnitrix
"You can't fight that thing" Serena told Ben, grabbing his arm
"You can't fight it and like I said, I can transform so this bear isn't going to he a problem for me" Ben told Serena
Serena let go of Ben's arm and ran for cover against her better instincts, she thought Ben was crazy and was going to die but for now, he was the only one who could fight
"Let's finish this here and now" Ben said as he activated the omnitrix and transformed
Ben slammed the core of the omnitrix down as it popped up, transforming him into the alien that he had selected. Becoming engulfed in a bright green light Ben began to transform, when the light faded away, it was revealed what alien that Ben had transformed into. Ben had transformed into a bulky alien who's body was made of a pale green crystal and had two large crystals spikes sticking out of its back. This alien was Diamondhead, Ben's own Petrosapien transformation.
https/insane-mane/art/5YL-Diamondhead-709164076
"You weren't lying" Serena said, seeing Ben transformed
"I told you so" Ben said as he readied himself
The bear Danger Beast let out a loud roar and charged forwards right away at Ben, ready to attack him. Ben used his powers and began to fire crystal shards from his hands at the bear Danger Beast, hitting it all over its body. The bear Danger Beast pushed through the crystal shards and got close enough to Ben to attack him. The bear Danger Beast clawed at Ben's body but do to it being made of crystal the curs left by the bear repaired themselves instantly.
"Sorry but that isn't going to work on me" Ben said before he uppercutted the bear Danger Beast in the jaw
The bear Danger Beast flew backwards from Ben's uppercut but was able to quickly recover, before the bear could attack again, Ben slammed his fists on the ground, creating a wave of crystals to erupt out of the ground and hit the bear Danger Beast. The crystals that came out of the ground managed to pierce the hide of the beat Danger Beast but not kill it, the bear let out a roar of pain.
"Hurts doesn't it?" Ben asked the bear Danger Beast, slamming his fist into his palm
The bear Danger Beast slammed its paws on the ground before charging at Ben, Ben formed a crystal blade and hammer with his hands and readied himself. Ben quickly dodged the bear Danger Beast and hit it with his crystal hammer, when it turned around to attack him, Ben sliced both of its legs, causing it to fall to the ground. Serena couldn't believe what she was seeing, Ben was holding his own against the bear Danger Beast like he had done before when he was the four armed creature.
"Had enough yet?" Ben asked the bear Danger Beast as he smacked his crystal hammers against the sides of its head
The bear Danger Beast got up slowly but was ready to continue fighting, Ben needed to end this fight quickly or the omnitrix would run out of power and both he and Serena would be in danger
"Go for the nape of its neck" Serena said, calling out to Ben
"What?" Ben asked as he dodged am attack from the bear Danger Beast
"The nape of its neck is the only spot where you can seriously damage it" Serena answerd
"Cool, thanks for the tip" Ben said
The bear Danger Beast pounced on Ben and ripped off both of his arms, luckily Ben made crystal spikes come out of his body that pierced the hide of the bear Danger Beast, hurting it. The bead Danger Beast quickly got off of Ben as both his arms began to regrow and his body began to repair itself.
"Time to end this now" Ben said as he cracked his knuckles
Before the bear Danger Beast could do anything, Ben entrapped the bear's legs in crystals, holding it in place. The bear Danger Beast tried to claw itself free but the crystals soon began to grow up the bear's arms, encasing it further in crystal.
"You aren't going anywhere" Ben said as he ran towards the bear Danger Beast
Ben formed both of his hands into one large hammer and smacked it down on the bear Danger Beast's head with all of his might. Ben then made the crystals sink into the ground with the bear still being trapped inside of them.
"See you later Smokey Bear" Ben said as he gave a mock salute
"You did it, you defeated the Danger Beast" Serena said as she began to run towards Ben, only to hurt herself
"Careful there" Ben said as he caught Serena in his hands
"You killed it" Serena said
"I didn't kill it but I did send it somewhere far away" Ben replied
"The people in my village will be glad to hear that" Serena said
"Let's hurry and get to your village so you can see a doctor" Ben told Serena
"I still can't believe you can transform, where did you get an Imperial Arms?" Serena asked Ben
Ben didn't know what an Imperial Arms was which made him wonder if Serena knew what aliens were. For now Ben wasn't going to worry about that, he had to get Serena back to her village right away and deal with things there.
Author's Note
Hello readers, here's the second chapter of Corrupt World, I hope you enjoyed it. This chapter you got to learn how Ben ended up here and the name of the girl who's been helping him. You'll see more of that strange man and learn a bit more about his master. This chapter you got to see both Rocks and Diamondhead used by Ben. You'll get to see more transformations in the next chapter when Ben enters Serena's village and sees what is going on. I don't think I mentioned this in the last chapter but I will know just in case. I'll be using cannon transformations but never shown in the story like Rocks as well as non-cannon now, I will be responding to the comments from the last chapter.
Maximum Rhapsody: I asked that question hoping to see what you and other readers think would happen to Ben now that he's in a world where killing is the norm. Do you think he'll break and kill his new enemies or do you think he'll rise above it?
Drcaus: That is the main theme of this story when Ben makes it to the Capitol and eventually runs into Night Raid. As for Akame being Ben's love interest, it is something a lot of people choose and I was hoping to do things differently. That doesn't mean I won't end up choosing that path in the end, I just want to look at other options first.
Guest: What do you mean that chapter was hilariously bad? I put a lot of work into it and I would like to know why it is you think that when so far others don't
With all of the comments responded to, I will now be answering questions from the last chapter
Maximum Rhapsody: I said I'd use elements from the manga, I don't know about using elements from Zero and Crush manga. I might but I would have to read them first to get an idea of what is in them. Like I told another reader, BenxAkame is a possibility but I would like to see other options before I do what everyone else does.
With all of the comments from the last chapter answered, I will be continuing and finishing here. Now, thank you all for reading and I hope to see you all later.
