Replies to Reviews Part 5
1) Guest: I appreciate the enthusiasm, but unfortunately,I can't count your vote a second time.
2) Maximum Rhapsody: Interesting suggestions, however, they all come with their unique drawbacks.
Korra and Supergirl, though both prominent female characters, aren't anime characters.
Akame is, but she's a teen
To help clarify what I'm looking for:
I) The girl has to be from an actual anime, and from a well known one at that.
II) She has to be a well known character from said anime. Though I'd prefer if she's the protagonist,if that's not possible, she can be a side character. As long as she meets the other requirements.
IV) She has to be a good guy.
V) She has to be able to hold her own, not defeat, but hold her own in a fight against the others.
VI) She can't be any younger than her early 20's.
However,at the moment, I'm highly considering using Motoko Kusanagi from the 'Ghost in the Shell' anime/manga series, since it meets nearly all of these criterias.
And for those who don't about 'Ghost in the Shell', you certainly know some of the works it's inspired.
Berserk inspired Darks Souls and Attack on Titan.
Ghost in the Shell inspired The Metal Gear Solid series and The Matrix film series.
3) Grimreaper: Thanks for the vote. And I agree, it'd be pretty cool.
4) Bookworm: Thanks for the vote. If this story wins the poll,that will change.
5) ppsspp: Omniverse Ben. Post his series, with master control. But he's not yet Ben 10,000. He'll be around his mid to late 20's.
6) Guest: Thanks for voting, and I agree that the story would be interesting.
7) Guest1: Thanks for voting. And I agree, more Ben and Naruto stories that don't include Naruto getting the Omnitrix,or a harem,or both, would be a nice change of pace.
Shipping Questions
As the name suggests, this section will involve finding out which girl you'd like Ben to be shipped with. Keep in mind however, these rules:
I) None of these stories would be a harem story in any shape or form.
II) An actual voting poll to find out which girl you'd want Ben to be shipped with in said story won't be held until the story poll itself has concluded.
So,to start things off, I'll list each story, and name the girl I wanted to ship Ben with. Why I'm allowing this to be subject to change is because my decision on this on some of the stories isn't a definitive one. I'd generally like to know which girl you'd like Ben to be paired with in said story, and why.
1) Hero of Konoha: Ben x Ino or Ben x Ten-Ten. (Not definitive, and wouldn't fully develop until when they're teens.)
2) Limit Break times 10: Nobody (Definitive).
3) The Adventures of The Shape-shifting Hero and The Substitute Soul Reaper: Ben x Orihime, or Ben x Rukia, or Ben x Tatsumi. (Not definitive. Wouldn't even fully develop until much later on in the story).
4) Ben 10 and Max Steel: Heroes United: Ben x Julie. Definitive. (Non-debatable.)
5) The Shape-Shifter, The Evo and The Devil Hunters: Ben x Julie. (Definitive. Non-debatable.)
6) The Legend of Ben 10 and the Avatar: Nobody. (Alternative is Ben x Toph, but uncertain if anyone would even want that.)
7) Way of The Warrior: Ben x Chun-Li. Definitive. (Non-debatable.)
8) The Threads of Reality: Ben x Kai. (Definitive. Non-debatable.)
9) The Misfit and The Changeling: Ben x Julie. (Definitive. Non-debatable.)
10) A Hero's Last Stand: Ben x Kai. (Definitive. Non-debatable.)

With how well this ranking is doing so far,I've decided to increase the maximum number of votes to 23. The reason being to not only ensure a clear winner due to how close the top 3 are, but also to flesh out all the story concepts more, in the possibility that one or more voters have a change of heart.
With all that said, I thank you all once again for your support. Each vote pushes the chances of said story concept being backed more and more of a reality.
A chapter update will be released tomorrow. But until then, please have yourselves a good one.
