After leaving Serena's village and making his way through the forest, Ben had found himself in a large clearing. Before Ben could do anything, he was attacked by a member of Night Raid, the group of assassins that Serena had warned him about. At first Ben tried to reason with the assassin but his words fell on deaf ears. Eventually, Ben ended up fighting back and subdued the assassin. Ben also ended up dealing with three other Night Raid members.

All of them tried to attack Ben but he was able to stop them all without killing them. After his run in with Night Raid, Ben quickly got out of there before more Night Raid members showed up. Finally making his way to the Capitol, Ben managed to get inside of the city and would lay low for now. However, little did Ben know, Night Raid would be discussing what to do with him.


Meeting Room: Night Raid Hideout

"So you are telling me that a person with a powerful and unknown Imperial Arms was able to take out three of my best assassins?" Najenda asks the members of Night Raid

Bulat, Akame and Leone, who has regained her hearing all look down at the ground in shame

"While defeat is not the preferred outcome, I am glad that all of you are alive" Najenda says

"We are sorry we were unable to kill the intruder boss" Akame says, apologizing to Najenda

"I wasn't ready for his transformations but Incursio has adapted to them now, I won't lose again" Bulat says, sounding determined

"From what Akame has told me, the young man claimed to not know anything and only wanted to get to the Capitol" Najenda says

"That is true, he did not wish to fight me and tried to peacefully avoid a fight" Akame says, recalling what had happened

"Do you think he was lying or telling the truth?" Tatsumi asks them

"It is hard to say, how did he act when you and Bulat faced him?" Najenda asks Leone

"Before the guy wrecked my eardrums, he basically said he didn't want to fight and that all of it was just a big misunderstanding" Leone answered

"Only after I showed up and started fighting him did he stop trying to plea his innocence" Bulat adds

"Hmm, I see now, it appears as though this young man only attacks when provoked, this could be a good thing or a bad thing" Najenda says as she starts thinking about what to do next

"What did I miss?" A voice asks

All the members of Night Raid turn around and see Mine slowly walk into the meeting room, her face covered in dirt and her body badly bruised

"What happened to you?" Tatsumi asks Mine

"That jerk somehow spotted me and hit me that sonic screech that took out Leone" Mine answered as she continued to walk into the room

"Make that four of my best assassins this young man has taken out" Najenda says

"What do you want us to do with this young man?" Leone asks Najenda

"Do we consider him a target?" Akame asks

"His Imperial Arms is clearly powerful and strong enough to defeat four other Imperial Arms, if what I am hearing is true there is a good chance this young man wasn't one of the spies and was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time" Najenda says to everyone

"Like me" Tatsumi says as he thinks back to the night he first met Night Raid

"So we don't kill him?" Mine asks

"No, not right away, I want you all to gather more information on this young man and his transformations, I am sure the three you saw aren't the only ones he can transform into" Najenda answers, telling the members of Night Raid what she wants them to do

"I wonder how many things he can transform into" Tatsumi says

"After we've gathered information, then what do you want us to do?" Akame asks Najenda

"I want you to see if he is an ally of the Empire or if he can be easily swayed to our cause, a powerful Imperial Arms like that and someone who knows how to use it could help us greatly in our goal to remove the corruption from this nation" Najenda answers

"And if he can't?" Akame asks Najenda

"If he won't join our cause or if he is sided with the Empire we will kill him and take his Imperial Arms, whatever it may be" Najenda answers

"I understand boss, I will get right to work" Akame says

"Not right now, I want all of you to rest and recover, tomorrow Tatsumi's training will be handled by Mine" Najenda tells everyone

"Wait a minute, you aren't actually serious about that?" Mine asks Najenda in disbelief

"Yeah, I don't want to train with her" Tatsumi says

"I do not care what either of you have to say on the matter, you will be responsible for Tatsumi's training and you Tatsumi, will listen to what she says" Najenda tells Mine and Tatsumi

Hearing that Tatsumi was going to have to listen to her, Mine's tone about training Tatsumi tomorrow changed and Tatsumi had an extremely bad feeling about what was going to happen tomorrow

"Okay then, everyone may leave now" Najenda says, dismissing everyone

Everyone leaves the room to go and lick their wounds while they wait for the opportunity to get some payback. As everyone leaves the meeting room and heads to their own rooms, Akame stays behind which Najenda sees.

"Something bothering you Akame?" Najenda asks Akame

"I was thinking back to my fight with the Imperial Arms user" Akame answers

"If you think I am mad about you losing, you don't have to worry about that" Najenda tells Akame

"That isn't what I am worried about, the way he fought me and hearing how he dealt with Leone and Bulat has me thinking" Akame says

"Thinking about what?" Najenda asks Akame curiously

"He could of killed me as well as them but didn't, he incapacitated all of us and fled instead of finishing us off" Akame answers

"He spared your life which means he isn't a killer" Najenda said, realizing what Akame was getting at

"I figured that as well but I am worried what will happen if we provoke him" Akame says

"That is something to be worried about but as long as you don't confront him and keep your distance, there won't be anything to worry about" Najenda tells Akame

"Understood" Akame responds

"I am going to go and search through the book of Imperial Arms and our records of them to see if I can find out what Imperial Arms this person uses" Najenda says as she stands up from her seat

"I will leave you to that" Akame replies before she leaves the room

As Akame leaves the room, Najenda let's out a sigh

"This is just what we needed, a rogue Imperial Arms user and one who could be a potential threat to our plans" Najenda says to herself

Jeweler Shop: Capitol

"I cannot believe what it is that I am seeing, this crystal is of a pure quality, so pure it is like I am touching a piece of the heavens" the Jeweler says as he looks at a piece of crystal in front of him

Ben takes out another crystal that is of medium size and sets it down on the counter next to the other crystal

"I have another one, how much do you think I can get for the both of them?" Ben asks the jeweler

"For the size and quality of each of them, I can give you up to 10,000 gold coins each" the jeweler answered

"20,000 gold coins would be extremely helpful to me" Ben says as he hears how much money he could get for the crystals

"Unfortunately, my shop just doesn't carry that much money, the most I can give you without bankrupting my store is 1,000 for each of them" the jeweler tells Ben in a disappointed tone

Hearing that he couldn't get the full 20,000 for the crystals, Ben was kind of disappointed but he understood that the man's shop needed money

"I hope that isn't going to be a problem for you? I would hate to see such rare specimens leave due to a lack of money" the jeweler says

"Don't worry about it, I'll take the 2,000 and you can keep these" Ben tells the jeweler

"I am glad to hear that young sir, I will get you the coins and a bag to hold them, you just wait right there" the jeweler tells Ben before he walks away

Ben let's out a chuckle at the enthusiasm of the jeweler, little did the old man know but Ben had millions of those crystals left and if he really needed the money, he could find someone else who would have the money for them. Given that the crystals came from Ben's Petrosapien transformation, Diamondhead, Ben could technically ruin this world's economy if he wanted to.

"Alright then, here you go young sir, the money is all there and you can keep the bag" the jeweler tells Ben as he places a satchel full of gold coins down on the counter

"Thank you kindly and if I ever come across something else like those crystals, you'll be the first person I see" Ben tells the jeweler as he picks up the satchel and carries it over his shoulder

"I really do appreciate that young sir and if you have any more of those crystals left, I know someone who happens to have the money for them" the jeweler tells Ben, peaking his interest

"Is there a place where I can find this person?" Ben asks the jeweler

"Here is a map to where he does his business, I don't know his name but whenever I send someone to him, he always pays them handsomely" the jeweler tells Ben as he hands him a map

Ben takes the map and opens it, seeing that it leads to a cheery tree just outside of the Capitol in a nearby forest. At first Ben didn't feel right about all of this but if what the jeweler said was true, this mysterious man would pay Ben for the crystals and who knows what else the man had, maybe he could get Ben some information.

"Thank you for this, I'll go and check it out and see if this guy is legit" Ben says, thanking the jeweler

"Don't mention it, I will inform the man that you are interested in selling to him" the jeweler replies

With his business done there, Ben takes his satchel and his money and leaves the jeweler shop and heads back out into the Capitol

Time Skip

Capitol: The Empire

After getting himself some money, Ben returned to the streets of the Capitol and began to plan out what he would do next. Ben's original plan was to contact his friends and family so they could come and rescue him but being in a different universe made that plan kind of obsolete. Since Ben couldn't contact his family, he was going to instead try to contact the only person he knew that could travel between universes and dimensions with ease, Professor Paradox. Contacting Professor Paradox was easier said then done, Paradox was a time walker and would appear at random times to help Ben out or inform him of some reality ending threat that only he could stop.

"Contacting Paradox is going to be a real problem, maybe I could use Alien X to help me out" Ben suggested to himself as he continued walking down the busy streets of the Capitol

Ben's Celestialsapien transformation, Alien X could warp all of reality and could create universes as well as stop them being destroyed. Alien X could basically do anything and everything, it could also help get Ben back to his own universe. There was just a few things that Ben worried about when using Alien X. Yes, he had full control over Alien X and didn't have to debate with Bellicus and Serena anymore but he wondered if it was truly permanent. Then there was the fact that Alien X's powers may not actually work in this universe. There was more to worry about and Ben felt that it would be best if he just tried to contact Professor Paradox for help.

Ben continued to walk until he saw a brick wall that had multiple wanted posters on them. Getting a better look at the posters, Ben recognized most of them as members of Night Raid. One of the ones that stood out to him was the wanted poster of the girl who had stabbed him with that poisoned katana of hers.

"Akame" Ben said to himself quietly as he read the name off the wanted poster

Ben also saw the extremely large bounty as well as the bounties for the other members of Night Raid. Seeing how much the Empire was willing to pay for their capture or death got Ben to thinking that if he was going to be here in this universe for awhile maybe he should take up bounty hunting as a profession. Then again, Ben remembered what the Young Emperor had his knights do to Serena's village as well as other villages. Helping the Empire catch Night Raid was something that Ben has no plans in doing.

Thinking back to Night Raid, Ben remembered that there was a good chance that they would be looking for him after what he had done. Knowing that enemies from his world would always come back for revenge, dealing with trained assassins wanting revenge was something Ben didn't want to deal with. Ben decided that for today, he would buy some new clothes before getting some food and a room for the night before he went to go and meet the man who would buy his crystals.

"Looks like its time for an outfit change" Ben said to himself as he looked down at the outfit he was wearing

Time Skip

Central Plaza: Capitol

After leaving the clothing store, buying himself a new outfit to wear, Ben in his new green hooded jacket with his boots and belt headed to the central plaza of the Capitol

https/pin.it/srItAyX

Walking to the plaza with his hood on, Ben was looking for a place to eat before he heard a commotion going on. Seeing a large crowd gather in the plaza, Ben walked over to see what was going on. Making his way through the crowd, Ben saw what everyone was staring at and why they all were gasping and whispering amongst themselves. What Ben saw next was truly horrific, hanging from massive wooden stakes, three people had been crucified.

Ben couldn't believe what he was seeing, people being crucified to death and no one was helping them. Ben was going to do something but soon saw that there was armed guards standing around. They were probably there to stop anyone from trying to save them. As Ben watched in horror, he got the feeling that someone was watching him. Looking around, Ben noticed a girl with pink hair and guy who appeared to be around the same age as him.

The girl with the pink hair was secretly pointing over to where Ben was standing and whispering into the ear of the guy. Right away, Ben felt that something was off and decided that it would be best if he got out of there now. He would be back later to save the people who were being crucified, if they could hold on long enough.

"Time to get a move on" Ben says to himself as he fixes his hood and starts to walk away from the plaza

Looking back over his shoulder, Ben could see the girl with the pink hair and the guy leave the crowd as well and start to follow him. Ben had to act quickly if he was going to lose those people. Luckily for Ben, he knew exactly what do and turned down an alleyway while activating the omnitrix.

Alleyway: Capitol

Mine and Tatsumi had gotten out of the crowd and had followed their target down this alleyway. Tatsumi had wanted to know why they were following the guy. Mine had told Tatsumi that the guy they were following was the same guy who had attacked her and the others. Once the two of them turned down the alleyway they saw the guy go down, they both quickly noticed something.

"Where did he go?" Tatsumi asks, looking down the alleyway and not seeing anyone

"We saw him go down here" Mine says, getting frustrated

The two walk further down the alleyway and don't see any signs of him, it was like he had vanished into nothingness

"It's not like he can just disappear into nothingness" Mine said annoyed as she kicked a garbage can

"He couldn't have gotten far, lets check the rest of the way and see if we find him" Tatsumi suggests to Mine

"I think he saw us back in the plaza, there's no point in trying to find him, lets get back to the hideout, you're carrying all of my stuff there" Mine tells Tatsumi as she starts to leave the alleyway

"What? No!!! I'm not carrying all of that back, you do it" Tatsumi says loudly as he runs after Mine

"You remember what the boss said, I'm in charge plus, think of it as payback for this morning" Mine tells Tatsumi as she leaves the alleyway

"I already said I was sorry for that" Tatsumi says as he runs after Mine

With the two of them gone and out of the alleyway, a shadow next to a garbage can starts to move from up on the wall down to the ground. It was then that a purple chameleon looking creature revealed itself. It had a green combat sash on along with green and black bottoms.

https/rzgmon200/art/BU-ITO-ChamAlien-772736468

This creature was actually Ben in one of his alien forms, his own Merlinisapien transformation that he called Chamalien

"That was a close one, wasn't expecting to see those guys here in the city" Ben says to himself with a sigh of relief

Looking around, Ben decided that it would be best for him if he laid low for the night just in case there where any more Night Raid members in the city

"Looks like I'll have to come back here at night and deal with a things" Ben said to himself before he vanished using his camouflage abilities

Time Skip

Central Plaza: Capitol

It was late at night and the people of the Capitol had all returned to their homes while others stayed late at the bars or kept themselves busy in the entertainment district. The central plaza was completely quiet, the guards had left and it was just the people who were being crucified that were there. One of the people being crucified had managed to keep herself alive all throughout the day but soon was about to die. As the woman hung there dying, she suddenly felt something grab her and pull the massive spike that was piercing both of her wrists.

"W…Wh…What is going on?" The woman asked weakly and confused as an invisible force slowly carried her down from the wooden pole

The woman was then sat down on the ground as the invisible force revealed itself to her. Turns out it was Ben who was still in his Chamalien form. The moment the woman saw Ben, she went to scream but was stopped by Ben putting his hand over her mouth.

"Shhhh, I mean you no harm, please don't scream" Ben tells the woman, silencing her

Ben can see that the woman is starting to calm down so he slowly removes his hand from her mouth

"Wh…What are you monster? Have you come to finish me off?" The woman asks Ben

"I'm not a monster, I'm a hero and I've come here to save you, looks like I got here in the nick of time, you're one of the lucky ones" Ben tells the woman, looking up at the other crucified people and seeing that they were dead

"I can't be saved, the Empire won't stop until I am dead" the woman tells Ben

"What did you do to make the Empire want to kill you?" Ben asks the woman

"I carry the son of the Prime Minister Honest's son, Syura" the woman answered

"They want you dead because you are pregnant?" Ben asks confused

"I was raped by the Prime Minster's son and when I reported the crime to the Military Police they told the Prime Minster and he sent to have me executed" the woman explained to Ben

Hearing all of that made Ben furious, something had to be done but what could he do to stop an evil empire. It was then that sounds of guards coming down the streets caught the attention of Ben and the woman. Ben acted fast and made his stinger come out of his tail as he stood in front of the woman.

"You get out of here and fast, I will make sure the guards do not come after you" Ben tells the woman

"Where am I to go?" The woman asks Ben as she slowly stands up

"There is a church not too far from here, take these coins and get out of here" Ben answers, tossing a bag of coins to the woman

The woman takes the small bag and slowly makes her way out of the plaza and to the church that Ben told her to go to. With guards entering the plaza, Ben made himself go invisible. Before he fought the guards, Ben waited to see what they were going to do. A few of the guards quickly noticed that the people who were crucified were dead and that one of them was missing.

"Sir, what do we do with the missing one?" One the guards asks another

"Report to the Young Emperor and the Prime Minster that two of three traitors are dead and that we are looking for the one responsible for freeing the third" the guard answers

One of the guards left to go and deliver the message while the others remained and examined the scene. Ben decided that it would be best if he got out of there now instead of revealing himself to the guards. The next spot Ben was going to go to was the location where he would meet the buyer for his crystals.

"Now I will take my leave" Ben says to himself quietly as he quickly leaves the plaza

Time Skip

Forest: Outside Capitol

Walking through the forest to the meeting sight in the dark with a map was Ben. He had managed to get out of the city after saving the woman from dying and now he was on his way to meet a buyer for his crystals. Ben had followed the directions exactly and was on his way to the meeting place. There was no way that Ben wanted to get lost and accidentally end up running into Night Raid again. Walking through the forest, Ben made his way to a large cherry tree that was coming into blossom. Instead of admiring the cherry blossoms, Ben's attention was taken by the sound of a loud gun shot. Looking ahead, Ben saw a man get shot in the head by the same girl with pink hair that he had seen in the plaza.

"You could have hit and killed me Mine" a young man that Ben had also seen at the plaza said as he got away from the now dead man as his body fell to the ground

"Oh you are fine, I am a genius sniper who never misses" the girl with pink hair said, bragging as she slung her rifle over her shoulder

"I need to get out of here" Ben said to himself in his head

Backing up slowly away from the two people, Ben was almost gone and hadn't been noticed by them yet. That was until Ben stepped on a twig and broke it which made enough noise for the people to look over.

"Crap" Ben said annoyed

"Who's there?" The guy asked as he drew his sword

"Is that you Akame?" The girl with pink hair asked as she aimed her massive rifle over in Ben's direction

The two walked over and saw Ben standing there, trying to get away from them

"Don't move or I will kill you" the girl told Ben as she put her finger on the trigger of her rifle

"It's the guy Mine" the young man said to the girl after realizing it was a Ben who was standing

"Nice observation idiot" the girl replied annoyed

"Look, let's just pretend like this never happened and I'll get out of your hair" Ben says to them, trying to get out of this situation alive

"You attacked our friends and that isn't something we are going to take lightly pal so just stand there and get ready to die" the girl tells Ben

"Mine, you can't kill him, remember what the boss said about finding out more about this guy" the young man tells the girl

"The boss also said we could kill him if he posses a threat to us and right now he feels kinda threatening" the girl said with a grin as she readied herself to shoot Ben

Seeing that there was a good chance that he could get shot here, Ben needed to play things safely before causing only more problems for himself

"Look, I only attacked your friends because they tried to kill me, I don't want to fight you but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you kill me" Ben tells the two people

"Come on Mine, lower your weapon, let's see if we can bring him back with us" the guy pleas to the girl

"Not a chance Tatsumi, that guy got me, me a genius sniper and that isn't something I can forget" the girl said

It was at that exact moment that the girl began to fire her rifle at Ben and tried to kill him

"Oh crap!!!" Ben said as he rolled out of the way, almost getting hit by an energy bullet

Ben quickly activated the omnitrix and went to select an alien that would help him deal with this situation. Before he could select an alien to transform into, he heard a clicking sound and looked up to see the girl with her rifle aimed at him.

"Time to die" the girl said as she fired her rifle at Ben

As the energy bullet came flying straight at Ben, he saw the omnitrix core pop up and quickly slammed it down. Slamming the core of the omnitrix down caused Ben to transform into the alien he randomly selected. He became engulfed by a bright green light right as the energy bullet hit him. Neither the girl nor the guy were ready for what they saw next. When the green light faded away it was revealed that Ben had transformed into a tall humanoid alien who's body was made of dark purple rock. Magenta crystals were growing out of the body of the transformation. It also had a crystal horn on its head with one eye with no nose and a mouth. The omnitrix badge was located in the center of the alien's chest and in its hands was the energy bullet before it absorbed it.

https/ssdeviant09/art/Chromastone-Redesign-878979400

The alien that Ben had transformed into was his own Crystalsapien transformation that he called Chromastone. Chromastone had a near indestructible body and the ability to absorb all types of energy, perfect for this situation.

"Thanks for not letting me down this time omnitrix" Ben said as he finished absorbing the energy bullet that was fired at him

"No one can survive being shot by Pumpkin" the girl said in disbelief

"Sorry to break it to you but it looks like I did, now let's talk about this and not push things further" Ben tells the girl, still trying to reason with her

"No, I am going to kill you" the girl says as she fires her rifle rapidly at Ben

"Mine don't" the young man said, trying to stop the girl

It was too late and the girl had already fired multiple rounds at Ben who was just standing there. Standing there, Ben let himself get hit by the energy rounds and just had his body absorb them. Seeing her shots not do anything to Ben only angered the girl more causing her to continue to shoot Ben. Eventually Ben had enough of this and decided to end it.

"Enough of this" Ben said as he fired an ultraviolet energy beam at the girl, hitting her in the chest and knocking her back

"Mine!!!" The young man yelled as he ran to the side of the girl

"You are lucky I don't kill people, I'm not an assassin like you two" Ben tells the two people

"I won't give up just yet" the girl says as she manages to get back up and aim her rifle at Ben

"You are a target and need to be eliminated" the girl said as she readied her rifle

"Mine don't" the young man said to the girl, trying to stop her once more

Just like last time, it was too late but as the girl fired her rifle, Ben fired an ultraviolet energy beam at the girl. Ben's ultraviolet beam hit the energy round right as it came out of the girl's rifle, creating an explosion.

"I'm done messing around here, I can tell you all that I'm not a threat to you but you won't listen to me, all I want is to go back to my home and get out of this messed up place" Ben said as the smoke from the explosion started to clear

As Ben stood there he suddenly heard a shattering sound coming from behind him. Turning around he saw the young man standing there with a broken sword.

"My sword!?!" The young man said in disbelief

"You tried to stab me in the back!!!" Ben said shocked

Before the young man could get away, Ben grabbed him and threw him into a tree

"Thanks for distracting him Tatsumi, now I can finish this" the girl said as a massive amount of energy started to build up in her rifle

"I only tried to knock him out" the young man said as he slowly got up

Ben stood there and let out a sigh of annoyance as the girl readied her rifle once more

"You should know that Pumpkin gets stronger when I'm in a pinch, looks like I'm going to shatter you into pieces" the girl said to Ben as she fired her rifle at Ben

A massive energy bullet came flying at Ben, Ben got into position and readied himself as he stuck his arms out. Ben managed to grab the energy bullet and slowly began to absorb it until there was nothing left. He then redirected all of the energy back at the girl by unleashing a wave of ultraviolet energy from his body. That caused a massive explosion that nearly destroyed the forest all around them. When the smoke cleared, the girl found herself being lifted up into the air by Ben.

"Listen up pipsqueak, you and your Night Raid buddies can leave me alone, I don't want any trouble, you guys can keep dealing with the corrupt Empire while I try to find a way back home" Ben told the girl aa he held her by the collar of her coat

Eventually, Ben tossed the girl over to the young man and instead of finishing them off like they thought was going to happen, Ben floated up into the air and left the area

"Mine you good?" The young man asked the girl

"No, I feel like I got hit by a giant explosion" the young girl answered

"You kinda did" the young man said with a chuckle

"You better not tell the boss or the others what happened here" the girl told the young man

"I will leave all of that up to you" the young man said

Inn: Capitol

It had been an extremely long night for Ben, saving the crucified woman and now having dealt with two members of Night Raid, the same ones he had ran into earlier today. Ben was exhausted and just wanted to get some sleep, luckily now that he had money, Ben was able to get a room at an inn back in the Capitol. Ben laid out on the bed and looked up at the ceiling as he thought about what had happened today. He couldn't believe how evil the Empire was to crucify a woman who was rapped by a political figure's son.

Then there was Night Raid, the group of assassins bent on taking down the Empire or so Serena had told Ben. They apparently had made Ben target like he had feared and now he had one more problem to deal with as he tried to find a way back to his own universe.

"Why can't I ever just catch a break?" Ben asked himself with an annoyed sigh

All of a sudden a strange sound caught Ben's attention and caused him to look up from his bed. Looking up and around the room, Ben saw a strange piece of paper float down onto the dresser that was in the room.

"When did that get in here?" Ben asked as he got up and went to grab the piece of paper

Grabbing the piece of paper, Ben saw that it was actually a letter, not just any letter though, a letter from Professor Paradox

"Paradox left me a letter" Ben says with a sudden surprise

Ben opened the letter and began to read what Professor Paradox had wrote him

"Dear Benjamin

I am terribly sorry I was unable to meet you at the cherry tree tonight but I didn't want to interfere with you and those two members of Night Raid. I figured you would be able to handle yourself and make things more complicated between you and them. Worry not though, once I am done dealing with other Benjamins in other universes, I will be able to meet and have a good chat with you about what is going on here

Sincerely, Paradox"

After reading the letter, Ben crumples it up and throws it away

"Great, looks like I am stuck here until Paradox isn't busy with other versions of me" Ben says to himself annoyed

Ben goes back over to the bed and flops down on it face first

"How come those Bens are taking priority over me? It's not like they are trapped in a world with assassins trying to kill them and monstrous creatures and people who could kill them at any moment" Ben says to himself as he rolls over in the bed

Seeing that Paradox wasn't going to be of much help to him and now after his second run in with Night Raid, the group of assassins would be really looking for him now. Things were seeming extremely difficult for Ben and he was starting to become desperate for a way out of this universe. Seeing that there was really no other option and waiting for Paradox wasn't going to do him any good Ben decided to take things to the extreme.

"Looks like I am going to have to take things there" Ben said to himself as he got up and out of the bed

Standing up now, Ben activated the omnitrix and began to scroll through its playlist, looking for a certain alien to transform into. As Ben continued to scroll through the omnitrix playlist he had finally found the alien that he was looking for.

"Desperate times definitely call for desperate measures" Ben says to himself as he looks down at the icon of Alien X

Ben was going to transform himself into Alien X and use the powers of the Celestialsapien to get him out of this universe before he ended up getting killed. Professor Paradox was busy and couldn't help him right now so taking things into his own hands was the only option left for Ben. Alien X could do anything and with full control over the transformation, Ben could in theory use Alien X to help him get back to his own universe.

"Well, here goes nothing" Ben says to himself as he selects Alien X

The faceplate of the omnitrix slides back as the omnitrix core pops up, ready to be pushed down

"Let's hope Bellicus and Serena don't try to pull a real fast ball on me" Ben says to himself as he goes to slam the core of the omnitrix

As Ben slams the core of the omnitrix down, the room in the inn is suddenly filled with a bright green light that can be seen from the windows of the room down on the street


Author's Note

Hello there readers, here is the 5th chapter of Corrupt World, I hope you all enjoyed it and are ready for the next chapter. Sorry it took so long for me to release this chapter but as I've stated in the latest chapters of my other stories, a lot was going on with me and I didn't have any time in my schedule for writing new chapters. Now that things have calmed down and I have time for writing back in my schedule I can continue to update this story and others.

In this chapter you got to see Ben use Chamalien as well as Chromastone, you'll get to see more transformations used as the story continues. It looks like Paradox has made some type of contact with Ben but won't help him get back to his own universe just yet. Ben will eventually get to have a conversation with Paradox and have everything explained to him, you'll just have to wait for that to happen. Do you think Ben is going to be able to use Alien X to go back to his own universe or is something going to happen that causes Ben to still be stuck in this universe?

People have been messaging me and asking me about this since I started writing this story and I feel like I've said it enough times now for people to stop asking about it. Let me say this now, once and for all so people stop asking me and telling about. Ben is not going to be joining Night Raid, he is going to remain independent throughout the story. Yes he will team up with them from time to time but he isn't going to be joining them so stop asking. Moving on, I will now be responding to all of the comments you readers left from the last chapter.

Maximum Rhapsody: I can say this now but every character that dies in the anime and manga, there will be some exceptions to this but I won't say who they are. I have something really big planned when it comes to character deaths but I'm not going to spoil my plans.

Rich Seer: My plan for Ben is to keep him close to Omniverse but have traits from UAF without making him basically an edgy OC with an omnitrix. Ben's in a world where it is kill or be killed, he'll have moments when he can act like his Omniverse self before he saved all of reality from Maltruant and the other times he had to act mature in the show.

Chronolocked: I have some very interesting plans with Ben and Esdeath, you are definitely right about things becoming so much of a hassle for him

Spiderpool09: I kind of honestly feel like I should do something extremely different and just not give Ben a love interest for this story. Everyone who does this kind of crossover story gives him a love interest and really want mine to be different

With all of the comments from the last chapter responded to, I will now be answering questions from the last chapter

Rich Seer: The reason I gave Ben the "No Killing Rule" was because it is just who Ben is, other writers do it too because it is basically Ben's thing. You could give me Ben killing the tick as an example of him killing an enemy of the fungi and Zs'Skayr but one is an animal the other is a plant and the last one is already technically dead. Ben having a no killing rule clashes with the kill or be killed mind-set of this world and makes interactions between Ben and Night Raid as well as other characters like Esdeath more interesting.

Okay, now that all of the questions from the last chapter have been answered, I am going to be wrapping things up here. Now, just let me say this, thank you all for reading and I do hope to see you all later.
