Ben 10 universe. alternate reality. year 2005.
Ben, Gwen were almost done with there summer when they got de-aged by something called fountain of youth it was just water but it restores old people's youth not a bad deal but then to people of there age it makes then even younger, prime example was right next to her, her annoying dweeb of cousin became even more annoying as a 4 year old and now they were fighting hex and his niece charm caster which was not that easy.
Now she had an idea to make Ben angry to destroy the fountain so hex doesn't get younger permanently.
Ben as heat blast got so angry and hot no pun intended that none of them could get closer "yep" Gwen thought "all in a days work".
Charm caster tried to get closer to ben with an shield but was not making much progress. But then hex looked at ben and started to chant an unknown spell Gwen could not make out what it was but she could tell one thing that it was nothing good, so she used an spell to fire an lightning at hex in hopes of disrupting hex which succeed in distracting him but it was too late hex had already fired the spell at ben.
"No you fool what have you done!" he roared.
She watched hopelessly as the spell struct the space between charm caster and ben.
"No" gwen screamed.
The spell then got bigger till both ben and charm caster were in it.
"No you fool what have you done" hex roared.
Gwen looked at then spell with worry but then golden rays of light broke out of the spell slowly but surely seeing them Gwen smiled it was heatblast's heat she went to take cover.
Soon Ben blew away hex and destroyed the fountain.
After a while the 4 of them ben Gwen Grandpa Max and the guard of the fountain were outside.
"Hey dweeb you ok?" Gwen questioned.
"Yeah i am fine at first i was worried about that spell but it turned out to be a dud so its fine" ben said.
"What about hex and charm caster?".
"No idea, i probably blasted them both to the other side of the country" ben joked.
Gwen rolled her eyes and got in the RV.
fairy tail universe year X771 an unknown forest.
An pink portal opened up and front it two figures appeared.
"Get off me".
"Get off me? you Get off. I am an lady you pervert".
"What did you call me?".
"A pervert look you aren't letting go even now".
"That's cause you are a bad guy".
The first voice then got kicked by an girl with platinum white hairs.
"That's it going hero".
The brown haired one slapped his wrist on an bulky watch but nothing happened.
"Hahaha your watch failed you Tennyson now its my turn" she then thrusted her hands forward but nothing happened.
"What the" she looked confused.
"Hahahaha" an laughing sound interrupted her it was ben "what happened pinky did your magic fail-" then Ben stopped and said "wait what happened to my voice?".
"Piftt" ben heard an voice it was charm caster "look at your body Tennyson!" she said covering her mouth.
ben looked at his body and saw that he had the body of a 7 year old.
"What the hell!?".
"HA HA HA" charmcaster started to laugh so hard that she had to hold her stomach "who would've thought that my greatest enemy ben Tennyson would be reduced to such a state" but then she stopped laughing abruptly.
"What happened to my voice?" she questioned the same question.
"Piftt" ben covered his mouth "HA HA HA".
"What are you laughing at?"
"Look at your self" ben said holding his stomach.
It was then charmcaster realized that her cloths were a bit lose and they had an adjustable size charm on them so they shouldn't be that loose.
She looked down at her body while shaking and fearfully and just as she had dreaded she too had an child's body.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO".
She screamed like it was the last day on earth, even all of the pigeons from miles had flown away thinking that it was an monster.
"No, No, No" she said "i the great daughter of the spellbinder, future ruler of legerdomain reduced to an body of child" she looked dead in the eyes.
Ben stopped laughing and looked at her again she looked like an 7 year old like Ben, she too was a kid now ben only hoped that she couldn't use magic cause if she could then ben was really worried what she will do to ben.
"So what do you think happened to us?" ben questioned her.
"What do you think, idiot? we were de-aged due to fountain of youth" she said looking at Ben like an idiot "didn't you got splashed with it before you should be able to figure out that much with even an brain as small as your".
"Oh" ben blinked "Right i knew that".
Charmcaster rolled her eyes at ben's pathetic attempt to avoid look like an idiot.
"So do you think that we will stay like this forever" Ben questioned a bit fearfully.
"No it's effect are just temporary" she said.
"Oh thats good then" ben thought 'the second the omnitrix recharges ill go hero and capture her'.
"Wait i can just use my magic to get rid of the effect's" Charmcaster said.
'She can use her magic...'Ben looked at her fearfully 'i should probably run like about now!'.
Charmcaster started to cast her magic "fles ym ot kcab em nrut".
Charmcaster then stopped 'myyy-my magic' her eyes widened her iris contracted "its all gone'.
Ben looked at her shocked face and realized that something was wrong 'she also didn't attack me before could it be that she cant use her magic?'.
"You cant use your magic can you" ben asked.
Charmcaster looked at ben with rage filled eyes.
"It's you're fault" she said making ben a bit surprised.
"What do you mean my fault if it wasn't for hex's spell then we wouldn't even be in this mess" ben said annoyed with her.
"Well if you hasn't gotten in our way then maybe all thus wouldn't even had happened in the first place" she said.
"I can't just let hex get young and all powerful again now?, could i" ben said mockingly.
"AHHHHH!" Charmcaster stomped her foot on the ground and glared at ben but ben wasn't phased by it now that Charmcaster was a kid instead of looking intimating she looked like a little kitten.
"Well whatever" ben said "when will the effects of the fountain disappear?". ben asked.
"I don't know" she said hesitantly.
Ben's face fell "what do you mean 'i don't know?".
She looked at ben hesitantly "well do you remember the spell which hex was casting before you went heatblast on him?".
"I... think" ben said.
"Well the effects of the fountain are temporary, so that's what the spell was for since hex wanted eternal youth so he had planed to use the fountain as a medium for his spell to make his youth permanent and since we were closest to him soooo...".
Bens eyes widened "you cant mean that we are".
Charmcaster nodded.
"Nooooo" ben got on his knees and yelled "then how will we revert back to normal".
"Nonono you are wrong since i disrupted his spell then that means it was broken then we might be back to normal by tomorrow". ben said.
"No it was an auto-spell once it's first 20 syllabus has been cast then its impossible to stop it even if the caster in knocked out"..
"I don't want to repeat my school" Ben said desperately.
"That's what you are worried about" Charmcaaster scream at ben .
"Well you-".
"Wait did you hear that" she said.
"What" Ben said.
"Shhh".
Ben got confused but then he heard an branch cracking and then he looked at his surrounding and saw that they were in an forest 'is it an bear or an lion?' Ben thought fearfully.
"What do you thin it is?".
"I don't know but without my magic and your watch we are toast with our current bodies".
Ben looked around fearfully.
Charmcaster was trying to use her stone creatures but they didn't responded without her magic.
"Hey" Ben said "look we can climb that tree" Ben pointed to an tree that was a bit taller than the rest of the trees.
Then the sound of heavy and footsteps alerted them.
"There!" Ben screamed pointing to an bush just a little to there right, they both looked at it.
It was then the bushes started to rattle and in an instant an large shadow came over then it was an at least 10 feet large white gorilla with white fur.
Ben and Charmcaster were frozen at the bizarre creature.
It looked at them both and it's eyes settled at Charmcaster and it grinned in an perverted way.
"Ohhhhh" it said "young girl like it".
Charmcaster was surprised at it so was ben.
""It spoke!"" they both cried.
When they were surprised at the creature it jumped at Charmcaster.
"Young lady come here".
"Look out" ben screamed at her and tackled her, now Ben was running on his hero instincts, and they said to roll away which they did.
"What are you doing?" Charmcaster growled.
"Saving your life what else!".
"I can take care of my self I've taken down bigger and tougher opponents than that".
"Well that was when we both had our powers and now we don't have them and not to mention we are in our 7 year old bodies".
Then she realized there situation.
"For now lets run" Ben said and took her hand and then they both started to run away ben looked through the trees and saw that the gorilla was right on there tail.
Ben thought to what the gorilla said and came to the conclusion that it was after Charmcaster not Ben, but Ben couldn't just leave her with that thing it looked like it could brake boulders if she had her powers then ben wouldn't hesitate a second to leave her alone but now she was powerless and helpless in front of that gorilla ben didn't wanted to leave her alone and not to mention the way that gorilla's looked at her ben didn't like that look one bit whatever it was planning to do to Charmcaster Ben knew that she didn't deserve it, it looked at her like Ben looked at ice-cream in summer heat or when Ben looked at burgers after eating grandpa max's cooking.
'It wants to eat her' that was what ben deduced.
ben looked at the trees and saw that one of then could be climbed so he dragged her towards it.
"Climb this" ben said.
"What are-" she said but ben covered her mouth.
"Questions later now you do as i say" Ben said in an no-nonsense tone which worked "its after you and it probably doesn't want to make friends, so you climb this tree and I'll draw it away somehow".
Charmcaster nodded absentmindedly and started to climbed the tree.
Ben went as far from the tree and waited for it to show up.
"Rarrrrr" it appeared "where is the girl, ill marry her".
Ben noted that and used it to get into its head or that's what he'll say 8 years later but now ben just wanted to annoy it.
"Hey big ugly as if she'll like an oaf like you!" ben said "if you want her you'll have to go through me".
"You think shell like you more than me".
Ben started to run "of course i am smart cute and a whole lot better than you" ben said.
It roared and started to follow ben.
'Where is it?' ben thought as he looked around.
Charmcaster was still looking at the distance absentmindedly then she thought 'me saved by that brat, me the daughter of the spellbinder, the future ruler of legerdomain?'.
She was fuming 'how dare he treat me like that Tennyson' she wanted nothing but to tear ben limb from limb but then she remembered her powers were gone and an horny ape was after her.
'Maybe I'll just run, he did told me to stay away from that thing'.
She got down and started to walk away.
With ben he was running with all he had, he had never ran like that before not even during the try-outs for baseball.
Ben stopped near the end of the forest and waited there and a second later he saw the gorilla running towards him.
'Come on now' ben thought "hey big ugly" he said lame insult.
'Why didn't i learned better curse words'.
The gorilla looked at him for a second and then it's face was filled with rage as he ran towards ben with eyes filled with hate.
"How dare you call me ugly, i am beautiful enough to get all the girls with just a wink!".
"Yeah right" Ben said sacristy.
"You making fun of me?!".
Ben started to walk away slowly now ben was seeing everything in slow motion as his life flashed before his eyes.
And just when it was an inch away from him he jumped sideways, and the gorilla who was running towards ben felt that suddenly the ground beneath his feat disappeared, it went wide eyed and comically tried to reach the cliff that they were on but failed and fell to its inevitable doom.
"Shesh" ben said and looked down "man that's a long way down" ben could literally see birds flying down there.
Suddenly the part of the cliff that he was standing on crumbled away.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" ben screamed on top of his lungs as he fell.
Ben tried to grab anything he could and luckily there was a tree that was growing on the cliff.
"Thank god that that tree was here" ben said clearly relived that he wouldn't have to die today.
Ben looked at the top and saw that it wasn't that far ben could reach it if he just climbed up a little. ben looked around for anything which he could hold on to a little above his top was a root which he could hold on to but it was out of his reach he'll have to jump towards it and if ben didn't make it the he'll fall to his doom.
"All right nothing's gonna stop Ben Tennyson". with that Ben jumped with all he had and luckily ben managed to grab the end of the branch.
Ben then looked down and saw the endless valley and ley out an deep breath "thank god!, I don't have wings like these fish".
Ben then stopped "wait fishes with wings?" ben looked down and saw that it was indeed true as there were fished with wings flying around.
Ben rubbed his eyes and looked again, yep those were flying fishes with real wings and were swimming-flying in the air instead of water, ben pinched his cheek and "WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLLL!".
Ben looked again "flying fishes don't exist, right? "Ben questioned he wasn't the brightest of his class most of the time he spend making paper planes but still he hasn't heard of flying fishes.
creak creak swish
Then the branch that ben was holding couldn't handle ben's weight and broke under pressure.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" ben closed his eyes and screamed he couldn't survive an fall like that ben instinctively closed his eyes but the pain never came. ben opened his one eye and saw that he was hanging but how?.
"I cant believe that i an doing this" ben heard an voice and looked and to ben's surprise it was Charmcaster.
"What are you doing here?".
"Even i don't know" she said as she pulled ben up.
Ben looked at her like she was an zoo animal.
"What?".
Ben hurriedly turned away and said "nothing".
"I..just wanted to say that".
"Well what is it spit it out".
"Thanks...i guess" Ben said "for saving my life".
She looked at Ben and snorted "whatever".
"So how long do you think it will take us to turn back".
"I don't know a day or two" she said "we were literally swimming in that water".
Ben groaned.
"We should first get out of the forest who know if there are any more of that gorilla" charmcaster said as she got up.
Ben nodded and then they started to walk away.
"I think I saw an village there when I was hiding in that tree".
Ben nodded "but I don't understand why you are helping me?" ben asked.
"don't get any ideas Tennyson I am just paying you back for helping me O don't want to owe you anything". she snorted at the idea.
An hour later they were out of the forest in front of an village.
"Ummm" ben asked "is this the right place?" ben aced looking at the medieval looking village and people wearing weird cloths.
"I just saw there silhouettes from there" Charmcaster said feeling wearied out "don't get separated we need information".
"Hey sir do you know where this place is?" ben asked.
"Charmcaster facepalmed and let out an deep breath.
"Of course young man" an old man said "this is rosemary village".
"Hey you are late" an elderly lady came towards the old man and dragged him away.
"So do you know where that is?" ben looked at Charmcaster.
"No but i think i do know what we are" she said.
"Where?!" ben asked excitedly.
"We are" she looked at the crystal balls lying on shop and crystals on the road lights "in another universe".
