Prologue Opening.
Earth, United States of America, Bellwood, Ben's House 2025.
On Earth, in the United States, there was a town called Bellwood. This town used to have the saying as ''The Most Normal Town in America''. But that changed many years, when a young local teen was revealed as a hero to the world. His name is Ben Tennyson, a resident of Bellwood since he was little, was revealed to the world when he was sixteen that he was the one behind all of those alien sightings that had started around six years before. He did all this with a device known as the omnitrix, a watch like device that allowed its wearer to transform into a finite number of alien creatures, rewriting the its wearers DNA to transform them into said species. Ben first got the prototype when he was ten, and has been a hero ever since. He Had help from his cousin Gwen, who had the power's of an Anodite, a species of alien their grandmother belongs to who can mantipulate life energy, and their Grandpa Max, a member of an organization known as the Plumbers that dealt with alien threats and other supernatural creatures. Years later, one of Ben's former enemies named Kevin Levin joined their team and started to date Gwen. Kevin is an Osmosian, a species that can absorb energy and materials such as metal,wood, and many others. When Gwen and Kevin left for college when Ben was seventeen, He was given a new plumber by the name of Rook Blanko, a by the book type cop. Their relationship started off rocky, but over the years they have become great friends. Ben, now age 25, has been hailed as a hero across Earth and throughout the universe, even though some initially distrusted him. Time and again, Ben and his friends have saved Earth and the Universe from destruction, But one night Ben is attacked at his parent's home. It is Vilgax!, Ben's arch enemy who has tried to take the omntirx ever since Ben was 10. He, Rook,Gwen,Kevin,and Max through themselves into battle against the threat, but sadly Vilgax was not playing around this time. No more talking, No more evil plans, just pure slaughter. He took out Max first by cutting him in half with his sword, then launching a brutal assault against Gwen. She tried putting up mana shields, but Vilgax was brutal, hee just tore through the shields like paper and battered Gwen around like a ragdoll, breaking one of her legs and fracturing a few ribs, and a black eye to boot. Kevin, enraged seeing his girlfriend hurt so badly, launched into a blind rage against Vilgax. He actually caught Vilgax off guard and Kevin started to pound on him hard, morphing his hand into a mace, and leaving puncture wounds on Vilgax, even taking out one of his eyes! Sadly though, while this may have worked and taken out any other person or alien, Vilgax was very durable, having survived ship explosions, so this was but a few scratches for him. He eventually rebounded and started to pound on Kevin, breaking his left arm, and then stabbed him through the stomach, and even with Ben as Swampfire and Rook trying to help, they could not save Kevin. Ben and Rook were tossed aside, while Kevin was thrown right on top of Gwen. Vilgax then prepared his laser vision. Kevin absorbed more metal to try and at least protect Gwen, but sadly it was not enough.
Vilgax fired his eye beams, which tore right through Kevin's chest, through his heart, and then exited out of Gwen's back. They both had a look of shock and pain on their face, but then slowly it turned into a smile, as they felt the life to start to slip away from them. They looked at each other lovely one last time and said,
''Gwen, you are my everything. You and Ben have changed me for the better, thank you for everything. I'm sorry I failed to protect you, now you are gonna die'' Kevin said, while crying. Gwen slowly wiped his tears away, and hugged him. She whispered softly to him,
'' It's ok, you tried your best, just like I did. We knew the risk of being heroes and knew something like this might happen one day, don't blame yourself. I'll always love you and we will be together for eternity now, where we no longer have to fight all the time, though I am gonna miss Ben so much'' Gwen said, crying as she knew she would be leaving her cousin forever, the same one who annoyed her but brought her joy, and who always had her back as much as she had his. Kevin wiped away her tears, and stroked her hair, reassuring her,
''Ben will be fine, sure he may have screwed up a lot in the past and not taken his job seriously, but he has grown a lot through the years, as both a person and as a hero, He and Rook will kick Vilgax's ass, and continue the hero work. Ben doesn't need us anymore'' Kevin told Gwen as tears appeared in his eyes. They heard a gasp and turned their heads slowly and saw it was Ben, now human again, looking at them, shocked and sadness on his face. They look at him and Gwen, with tears in her eyes, waves goodbye , and Kevin, with a pained smile on his face, raises his fist in the air as high as he cold, telling Ben to keep fighting and be tough. Finally with all the tears and energy used, Gwen and Kevin closed their eyes one final time, and passed onto the next world in each others arms. Ben could only look on in shock and horror. He could only stand there and look at the bodies of his cousin and best friend. His vision became blurry, as he clenched his fists. All he saw was red, with him wanting to kill Vilgax for killing his parents, Grandpa,and now Gwen and Kevin. He was about ready to lose it, that is until he heard Rook calling his name.
''BEN! I need help!'' Rook shouted. This bought Ben out of his dark thoughts. He turned and saw Rook using his martial arts to dodge and swerve around Vilgax,landing quick but powerful jabs that staggered Vilgax. Ben jumped up, and moved his hand to the omnitirx. He turned the holographic display and hit down on a alien, transforming him into a large orange dinosaur creature, known as
''HUMUNGASOUR!'' Ben shouted into the air. Vilgax and Rook turned to look at Ben. Vilgax having a sadistic smile on his face, taunted Ben,
''Ready for another round, Tennyson. Let's hope you can last a little longer than your family and Levin'' Vilgax said while laughing. This just pissed Ben off more, who just decided to charge Vilgax in anger, with Rook trying to stop him.
''VILGAX!'' ,Roared Humungasour, as he charged Vilgax. Rook tried to stop him,
''Ben wait!" Rook yelled as Humungasour charged forward, but his words fell on deaf ears. Ben was out for blood, and revenge. Vilgax just smiled.
''Come and get it Tennyson, this is our final battle!, I don't even care about the omntirx anymore! I just want your head hanging from my ship! '' Vilgax yelled as he charged forward and him and Humungasour clashed their fists.
Ben's Pov.
I ignored Rook as he called me, blocking out his words as I charged at Vilgax. I felt nothing but the thirst for blood. I have never felt this much anger and bloodlust since the incident with Aggregor, and Kevin going insane with power. While this was bad, this was way worse! While during that incident, I was planning on killing Kevin and had anger, I also felt sadness as it meant killing my best friend, here Vilgax was never my friend or even a good guy, just a psychotic squid faced alien monster that wanted to take the omntirx and kill me ever since I was ten. I knocked myself out of these thoughts as I charged Vilgax, and he charged me. We clashed fists, landing blow after blow on each other, each blow getting more powerful than the last. I had my rage fueling me, while Vilgax just kept a sadistic yet calm demeanor. This just pissed me off even more than I already was, so I started to swing and hit harder and this did give me the edge in strength. However, I was fighting with blind murderous rage, which was not like myself at all, while Vilgax used this to his advantage. While my blows were stronger, I only managed to land a one or two good ones, while Vilgax was landing several weaker, but still powerfully calculated blows on me. A punch to the gut, a knee to my face, a kick to my side, he just kept raining blows down on all areas of my body. Finally, he backhanded, or should I say fisted, me into a wall and pressed one hand to my neck, squeezing tightly. He then took his other hand and grabbed his sword from his back, and held it to the side of my throat. He took great pleasure in doing this slowly, as he wanted to enjoy this moment, having waited 15 years to do this. Vilgax smiled with a cruel dark grin, squeezing my neck tighter. I winced as I tried prying his hand off, but having wasted energy while angry and now being injured, I have no strength left. Vilgax looks as me in contempt.
''Well now Tennyson, seems you let your anger get the better of you, I thought heroes weren't supposed to get angry, with the urge to kill'' He said, clearly mocking me. I had always tried my best to not kill except if the situation was really dire and I felt there was no other way to win. I was ashamed of myself . I was so focused on wanting to avenge my family and friend that I let my emotions get the better of me, despite Rook's warning, and now I was going to pay the ultimate price. Vilgax would kill me, then Rook and then take the omntirx and rule the universe, with no one to oppose him. I considered using the self destruct on the omntirx, killing both me and Vilgax. I then remembered Rook was in the area, so that wasn't an option. To kill Vilgax, I would need a big explosion and I can't do that with Rook in the area. I feel consciousness starting to leave me, and my vision beginning to grow dark. That was until I heard Vilgax grunt in pain as he was blasted off of me. I was getting my breathe back as the pressure on my neck disappeared, and my vision started to regain focus. In a flash of light, I turned back into my human form, grunting in pain from the beating I received. My vision just returned as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and was happy as I saw Rook standing there with a look of concern on his face. He held out his hand to help me off, which I took. I grunted in pain as I got up, knowing I was bruised all over the place. Rook checked me over, relieved to see no major injuires. He then started to lay into me about my stupidity at charging Vilgax despite his warnings
''Ben, I warned you not to charge in like that, and yet you didn't listen, you need to think with a clear head, if it wasn't for me Vilgax would have killed you'' He told me. I knew he was right, but I couldn't help it, I mean all my family are fucking dead! Of course I would be angry! I calmed down and looked at him,
''Rook, your right and I'm sorry but Vilgax has killed my family, I mean look he killed Gwen and Kevin, I had to watch them die'' telling Rook as I pointed to the bodies of Gwen and Kevin. Rook looked at them, a look of hurt and sadness on his face. But that quickly disappeared with a look of determination as he looked at me.
''Ben we must end Vilgax once and for all. These battles have been on and off for the last few years, and while Vilgax has been horrible before, this is new. He isn't out for anything but slaughter now. He is too dangerous to take alive, he, must be dealt with now…. Permantley'' Rook said to me. I know I do not like killing but Rook is right, if we do not take out Vilgax now the entire universe will face his wrath. I look at Rook and I nod, though I ask Rook how are we gonna do this.
''How are we gonna do this Rook? It would take something big to kill Vilgax. I was considering using the self destruct on the omnitrix in order to take Vilgax out, but that would risk catching you up in the blast'' I told him. That seemed to have hit Rook, and he seemed to start thinking. That is when he hit me with an answer.
''That is a great idea! We do not have to use the omntirx though, we can use my proto-tool' ' He says as he shows me his trusty customized plumber tool he has used since we first became partners.'' The energy in this when made unstable can have an explosion equal to one thousand nuclear warheads, but with a contained explosion'' He told me. This got me excited. The excitement didn't last long,as we heard a grunt. We turned and saw Vilgax coming out of the rubble, looking more pissed off than he was before. I got ready to fight, smiling.
''Let's go Rook, we can take him, Lets avenge my family and Kevin'' I said, as I raised my hand to the omnitrix, but I was shocked when Rook put his hand on my wrist and lowered it. He turned to me and spoke.
''Ben, you need to run you are very injured, I can't risk this not working with you in the way'' He told me. I was shocked! There was no way I was going to let him fight Vilgax alone. Sure I was injured with bruises but nothing was broken. I was about to insist, but he could already tell I was going to resist and spoke before I could.
''Ben I know you aren't that hurt, but still I can't risk something going wrong at all for this plan to work. You need to go, I'll be right behind you after I'm done'' He told me. I saw the look in his face. Rook has never broken a promise before, as he was one of the most honorable people I know.
''Ok, I'll see you after this is over. Be careful'' I told him as I ran out the remains of my house out to the street.
I wish I had not listened in this moment, as little did I know this would be the last time I would see my partner alive.
Rook's Pov
I looked as Ben ran off. He had to live, as the universe needed its hero. I turned and looked at Vilgax as he approached me. I smiled sadly as he walked towards me. I could only think about Ben in this moment and what I was about to do.
Ben, I thank you for your friendship and the opportunity to be your partner. We have come a long way since you were sixteen. You have come a long way as a hero from being arrogant and cocky to being smart, calm, and resourceful. I am proud to call you my friend, my best friend. I am sorry I am not going to be able to return like I promised, but you are more important in protecting the universe than I. This is it, goodbye my friend, may you continue as the Hero of Heroes and may we meet again one day, in the next life. I finished my final thoughts as I saw Vilgax right in front of me, looking angry.
''I will admit, that was a good shot Blonko I failed to give you enough credit for your wits and effort. You have made me mad, but I am willing for forgive and I MAY let you live, if you let me out of the way and let me finish Tennyson'' He told me. I could only smile and just get into a fighting pose, which caused Vilgax to frown.
''So be it Blonko, I will just have to kill you, which shouldn't be hard to do'' He said to me smugly. I could only laugh at him, which both made him angrier and confused him. I looked at him and just told him.
''Yes I will die, but you will be going with me'' I said, which surprised him. With him off guard, I jumped into action. I did a backflip over his head, and landed behind them and quickly wrapped a cable around his ankle, which he turned to punch me. I dodged, and ducked under him doing the same to his other ankle. He tunred to smash, I jumped up and kicked him in the face, stunning him. With him stunned , I wrapped a cable around his right arm. While doing this, Vilgax regained his footing, and grabbed his sword. I turned, but before I could dodge I was stabbed through the stomach by him. I coughed up a ton of blood, and started to lose my breathe, but I kept focus on what I had to do. I looked at Vilgax and saw a smile on his face.
''How does this feel, Rook Blonko? This is what happens when you mess with Vilgax the Conqueror!'' He shouted into the air. I could only smile weakly as I used my remaining strength, grabbed his free arm, and used all my strength and martial arts prowess, along with the cables to bring Vilgax and me down to the ground. We fell to the ground in a heap and that's when I activated the self destruct on my proto-tool. It was set for thirty seconds. I turned and looked at Vilgax.
''Are you ready Vilgax?'' I asked him. He looked confused.
''What are you talking about?'' he asked. That's when he turned and looked, and looked scared. That is when He started panicking and thrashing, but I would not let go.
''NO!, Let me go, you Revonnahgander scum! Let me go, don't do this you'll die as well!'' Vilgax yelled as he started to thrash even more trying to break free. I looked at him and just said,
'' If I'm going to die, so be it at least you'll be coming with me!'' I screamed at him, with my eyes going over to my proto-tool, which was on the last five seconds. I only had one final thought in my head as my vision began to blur, the warmth leaving my body, and the sounds of Vilgax's screams fading
''Goodbye Ben, my best friend. I'll see you again, in the next life''
No Pov:
A huge explosion happened, taking Rook, Vilgax, and the bodies of the others, everything in the area of Ben's house was taken out and vaporized instantly…or so it seemed. Ben could only watch from outside in shock as his house was vaporized, and the shockwave came and threw him back into a wall, knocking him out.
Ben's Pov:
I woke up, grunting in pain. I slowly got up as my vision cleared up. Once I was up, I immediately jumped in realization and regained focus. I looked up where my house is, or rather WAS, as I saw nothing left. No walls, no structure at all, nothing left but a big crater with fires all around it. I was shocked, it was all gone! That is when I realized one thing
''ROOK!'' I yelled. I remembered he was in there. Where was he?, He said he would be out before the explosion. I ran over to the crater, hoping that he was ok. When I got there, I saw that there really was nothing left, not even the bodies of everyone. I dropped to my knees, shaking in rage and despair. My family and friends were gone forever, I failed to protect them I failed as a hero. I was broken out my my depressed state when I heard a rumbling noise. I looked in the crater and saw that not everything was destroyed, there was a small pile of rubble remaining, and it was moving! That got me excited, as I thought it was Rook. I ran down excited and started to shift through the rubble, excited that Rook was alive. But my excitement turned to horror when I saw who emerged from the rubble
''VILGAX!'' I exclaimed in shock and horror. I can't believe it! He survived that explosion. I knew he was durable but that had to be the worst explosion he was ever in and he still survived, though I could tell it did do a number on him. Most of his tentacles on his face were gone, one of his eyes was completely gone, one arm was missing a hand, while the other was mutilated beyond recognition. Vilgax looked at me with a sadistic smile but with obvious pain on his face from all his wounds.
''Ahh Tennyson there you are. Shocked to see I'm alive aren't you? To be honest so am I, I thought that suicide attack by Blonko would have finished me, but I survived though just barley'' He said to me. One thing that caught my attention was what he said about the attack.
''Suicide attack? What are you talking about? You killed Rook!, He was going to escape before the explosion but you must have stopped him, you will pay for this'' I yelled at is when Vilgax just started to laugh, pissing me off even further
''HAHAHAHA! Tennyson, you fool you actually believed that? While true I did stab Blonko when he was tying me up, He told me himself near the end of his intentions. I'll admit it was an honorable effort. Rook Blonko has always been someone with honor, someone always truthful and gives his word. I am shocked as well that to you of all people, he LIED! Though it makes sense, as knowing you Ben Tennyson, you always want to protect those closest to you. You being the world famous hero and protector the universe, Blonko knew you couldn't die and he knew you would refuse to leave him If he intended to die, so he did the one thing he knew would never ever do unless in the most extreme case, and that was to lie to you to make you leave. Though he failed in his effort, now Tennyson it iis how it has always been, you the last one standing and me, looking to kill you and take the omnitrix. Who will it be this time, Big Chill?, Chromastone?, Bloxx?, or perhaps even Alien X? No matter who you choose I will win, as while weakened , I am still stronger than you, especially since you are broken and fragile. You may as well give up now Ben, I will kill you and finally have the victory I have always wanted!'' He shouted out. Hearing all that made me sad. He was right I was broken. But then I suddenly had a rush of anger in me. This monster has plagued me since I was ten, and I always beat him but he never gave up. I've shown him mercy too many times and look what it has cost me. I stood up, angry and defiant. I would not give up! My family and friends stood by my side even though it cost them their lives, and even Rook voluntarily gave up his own life to save me! I would not let their sacrifices be in vain. I will end Vilgax once and for all! I moved my hand over the omntirx. I looked at the battery and saw.
''Enough for one more transformation before recharge, better make it count'' I muttered to myself. I tapped the watch, which pulled up the holographic interface. I rotated as Vilgax watched, curious. I stopped on the alien I wanted. I looked at Vilgax angry. Vilgax looked at me with a smug grin
''You ready Tennyson, no alien you have their can beat me with the power and strength I have now. Even weakened, I am still strong'' He said, then laughed. I just stood there, not impressed. When he saw my face he was confused. I smiled at him and told him
''Your wrong Vilgax, I have one alien who has beaten you time and again, one you have never defeated in battle'' I said to him, with a smile on my face. I saw his eye widen. That is when I hit down the omntrix and in a flash of light, I felt myself transform. I grew taller and taller until I was one hundred feet tall. When the transformation ended, I shouted the alien's name
''WAY BIG!'' I shouted. I looked down at Vilgax and could see the look of ABSOLUTE HORROR on his face. I glared down at him. I did not even spare a second. I raised my foot and stomped on Vilgax's legs, breaking them and grinding them to absolute dust. Vilgax screamed in pain in a way I never heard before
''AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'' Vilgax screamed in pain, tears coming out of his singular eye. He looked up at me, all that bravado and smugness gone, now replaced by fear and pain. I glared down him. I just remained silent and crossed my arms, preparing my cosmic ray. Vilgax knew what I was about to do, and started to beg for his life
''Please Tennyson, Please! Don't do this, you're a hero you do not kill'' He told me. I found it pathetic that he was begging for his life. I was done. I tried the moral route one too many times with Vilgax, it was time to end this! I just fired my cosmic ray, and it zoomed towards Vilgax, with a look of shock on his face. The blue ray of destruction consumed him, as he screamed in pain, as the ray started to vaporize him. He however shouted his words to me
''BEN TENNYSON! YOU MAY HAVE KILLED ME, BUT I AM THE ONE WHO HAS WON OUR DECADES LONG FIGHT! YOUR NOW WITHOUT YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FRIENDS! YOU ARE NOW ALONE WITH NO ONE TO CARE ABOUT YOU! YOU HEAR ME TENNYSON, YOU HAVE LOST!'' He shouted as he was finally disintegrated into ash. I looked down and saw nothing left of Vilgax. I close my eyes, as I hear the beeping of the time out of the watch. I changed back in a flash of light, back to human on y knees, tired and depressed. I look up
''It's finally over'' I muttered to myself. Vilgax was finally dead, though it was a hollow victory. My family and friends were gone, and I am all alone. I look at the crater, and say only one thing, knowing what I'm going to do.
''See you guys soon'' I say. I run to my car and drive off, heading for downtown Bellwood.
A little later, downtown Bellwood, Ben is at the top of a skyscraper.
Here I am, at the top of one of the tallest skyscrapers inside of Bellwood, about to do the unthinkable.
I'm about to take my own life.
It may be selfish, but I can't live without them! They were always by my side, even at my worst. I maybe the hero, I'm expected to be strong and to keep going forward no matter the cost, but I just can't do it. With Vilgax gone, the Universe will be a lot more peaceful place . The plumbers can handle all the other threats, I am done. I stood up on the railing, looked down, and with a calm look on my face I jumped. I felt my the wind pass by me fast as I plummeted to the ground. I just had one final thought before I hit the ground.
I'll see you soon guys''. I am finally at peace.
No One's POV:
Little did Ben realize as he plummeted to the ground, a portal opened up below him, sucking him, and also nearby his car, as they disappeared into the portal as it closed.
The story of Ben as a hero in his universe is over, He had beaten Vilgax finally, but lost everyone in the process. He is about to start over in a new world on a new adventure, to face new threats, and also….
Make a new family.
Outside Bryce, Utah, Orbital Launch Base, Zero Dawn Staging Area, November 20th 2064.
Inside an orbital launch base, that was recently recommisioned to be used for a secret project called Zero Dawn to be to counter the effects of robots that had gone rough, a portal opened up, and once it opened you could screaming. A few seconds after the screaming, Ben Tennyson fell out of the portal right onto the floor face first. The portal closed right after. Ben, who was sitting up rubbing his head from the fall, opened his eyes and got up. He looked around and saw he was in a pretty weird place.
''Where am I? Ben said. Ben had just thrown himself off the roof of a skyscraper in Bellwood, and then when he opened his eyes, He saw he was in a portal and then that's when he landed here. He could tell from the pain and everything he wasn't dead, so where was he. He looked around and saw it seemed very government like and high tech. he wondered if maybe the Plumbers Base. However, looking at the tech and the walls, he could tell, while advanced that the tech was nowhere close to the alien tech back on a Plumbers Base. And the lack of the Plumber's symbol around here told him enough it wasn't a Plumbers base. Ben looked at the omnitrix and decided to test it out to see where he was.
''Omntrix, do a scan, where is the nearest plumber base on earth?'' Ben asked the omntrix, and the watch did a scan and after a few seconds Ben was shocked when an error popped up, and the watch responded
''Error Error, No plumber bases located anywhere on planet earth'' The watch responded. This got Ben a little nervous, but he decided to try once more, this time galaxy wide.
''Omnitrix , call all plumber bases,outposts, and academies around the Milky Way'' Ben told the watch. The watch started scanning a signal, this one taking a little longer. It ended with the same result.
''Error Error, No Plumber activity detected in the entire Galaxy'' The watch responded. Ben was now fully panicked , wondering what was going on. Ben decided to see what he could find,
''Can you scan and find anything of note?'' Ben asked the watch. The watch scanned and came back with three answers.
''Three signals detected'' the watch responded. ''One from a dimensional anomaly just a few moments ago, a signal from some advanced technology across the planet, and a signal in this facility on the other side'' the watch said, finishing its analysis. Ben was confused. Three signals? Ok so the first was a dimensional anomaly, which was the portal. This confirmed to Ben that he was in another dimension, which didn't panic him as he had been to both a dimension with an alternate him called Ben 23, and another with a different hero named Rex Salazar, a guy who controlled things called nanites to turn his body into different machines and weapons. Ben wondered if he was in either of those dimensions. Ben asked the omntrix
''Omntirx, search for any other omntrix in the galaxy'' Ben asked. If he was in Ben 23's dimension, whether he was on earth or Galvin Prime, He should be easy to find. The scan completed, and to Ben's disappointment it was a no go
''Scan complete, no other omnitrix device found in the galaxy'' The watch responded. Ok, so Ben 23's Dimension was out of the question. He then wondered if he was in Rex's. He looked around, and walking down the corridor, Ben found what appeared to be a holographic calendar. The date read,
November 20th, 2064
That dashed any hope Ben had immediately, as he remembered Rex's Dimension went by the same date and year his dimension did. This meant Ben was in a totally new dimension he has never been to before. Ben sighed, now even more frustrated. He had lost his family, decided to end his own life, and instead he winds up in another dimension. Guess fate wasn't done with him yet. Ben didn't really have a game plan, so he just decided to walk around the facility, get his bearings and even find a way out. Ben looked around at the place and saw it was some of space station, obviously an American one. But It was way more advanced than his earth's, without alien tech that is. Ben walked a bit more, and realized he was a bit thirsty, and looked around to see if there was a water container or anything to get a drink from. That is when on the table he saw two cups of water. He picked one up and examined it, looked inside and it appeared to be regular water, and no weird smells either, so Ben assumed it was safe to drink. He drank it and it was nice and cold. Now refreshed, Ben continued down the hall, but just as he turned the corner, something started to feel off. Ben stopped and wondered what was going on. He started to feel light headed. At first he thought it was his injuries from his battle with Vilgax, but looking at himself his injuries he seemed to be healed. His vision started to go also started to blur. He turned back the way he came, stumbling wondering what was going on.
''Wha-aa-ts ha-ppe-ing t-o me?'' Ben asked himself. Ben looked up and though blurry, he could make out the shape of a two people. One appeared to be a man and the other he was standing over, who appeared to be collapsing and stumbling herself. Ben grunted in tiredness and confusion, which got the attention of the man. The man turned and saw Ben, and though Ben could not see his features, his body language seemed to indicate surprise. He walked away from the woman and walked towards Ben, and upon getting close, he seemed to be inspecting Ben. Upon finishing looking at Ben, the man began to speak however Ben couldn't clearly hear him. However he could understand the jist of what he was saying
''Wh-o -re- ou?'' He asked Ben, but mostly seemed to be to himself. He then turned his eyes back to the woman and then back to Ben and seemed to laugh,
''N-ot ex-ac-ly acc-or-ding to pl-an, b-ut I c-an ma-e th-s w-rk'' The strange man said. He put a hand on Ben's shoulder, and that is when a loud voice appeared, which knocked Ben out of his stupor temporarily that it was enough to make him conscious enough to hear the voice and hear it clearly. It was the omnitrix, and it was responding to a threat to its wearer. This surprised the man,
''Warning: User Ben Tennyson has consumed liquid laced with drug, Host weakened and vulnerable. Threat nearby, activating Bio-Energy Feedback'' The watch responded, which caused the man to back away a foot. The watch exploded out a dome of green light which sent Ben flying backwards and the man flying far back into a pile of crates. The man screamed in pain, yelling and cursing
''FUUUCKK! MY Arm! It's Broken!'' The man screamed as he got up, holding his now broken arm. Through his blurred vision, Ben could see the man running off, getting away. Ben got up, and with the adrenaline boost wearing off, the effects of the drug returned full force. Ben remembered the woman who was also stumbling still. Ben struggled to walk up to her, and placed a hand on her shoulder.
''H-e-y ar-e you –ok-ay'' Ben asked his voice slurred. The woman looked up, but before she could even fully raise her head she collapsed. Ben grabbed her, but then he started to pass out too, and then all he knew was blackness.
Couple Hours Later…
Ben's Pov:
I slowly opened my eyes, as I was trying to adjust my vision. I saw I was in a dimly lit room, and I was lying down in a bed of some kind.
''What happened, did I dream the whole thing with Vilgax?'' I wondered out loud. But I realized that this room looked the same as the rest of that facility I remembered walking in.
''So it wasn't a dream, I really did lose my family and I am in another dimension'' I muttered sadly to himself. Before I could ponder more, I realized how cold I was. I put my arms across my chest to warm myself but realized something.
''Why am I not wearing a shirt?'' I muttered to myself. Then I realized something.
''Why doesn't it feel like I'm wearing anything?'' I said as I started to panic. I quickly founded a light switch near the bed and turned it on. When I turned the switch the room filled with light, blinding me. I shielded my eyes for a moment for my vision to clear up. When it cleared up and I looked down at myself, I immediately screamed in shock
''WHY THE FUCK AM I IN BED NAKED!'' I shouted into the air. I looked and saw I was naked. No shirt, pants or even underwear or socks. The only thing I do have on is the omntrix. I looked around and saw all my clothes on the floor, which confused me even more. Before I could fully process it all,I was shocked when I heard light breathing next to me.I turned and looked at the side of the bed next to me. What I saw shocked me to the core and made me drop out of the bed in both shock and horror.
''WHOA!'' I shouted in surprise, as I fell to the floor. I was on the floor, surprised, and after taking a minute slowly shaking in nervousness, I got up and peaked to see if what I was seeing was right and sure enough it was.
Lying in the bed was a naked older red headed woman. She appeared to be in her late thirties- early forties. She was sleeping peacefully despite all the noise I made. I panicked and had a hard time wrapping my head around what happened.
''What happened!? , how did I wind up in bed naked with an older woman?'' I asked myself. That is when I regained some memory, blurs of what happened, the cup, the drug and the strange man in front of me, and the woman on the ground. I put it all together and was shocked.
''Whoever that man was, drugged our cups, and because of that we slept together, oh great, and I'll probably be blamed for it'' I said to himself. That's when I decided to do something stupid but risky. I was going to run. It may be stupid but I do not want to be blamed for this. I quickly grabbed my clothes as quietly as possible, trying not to wake up the sleeping woman. Once I was fully dressed, I looked over and saw she was still asleep peacefully. To be honest about myself, I was still a virgin, I never did it with anyone, not even Julie. I wanted to save it for a special someone, and while I won't deny this lady was beautiful, it wasn't willing between the two of us, it all happened due to some scumbag. I swear if I find out who it was, I'll go Heatblast on their ass and burn them hard! Once I saw she was still asleep, I made my escape. I raised the omntrix, popped up the holographic interface, selected the alien I wanted which slid back revealing the core, and I hit it and transformed, becoming an alien that would get me out of here easily. When the transformation was done, I was a ghost. I was Ghostfreak. I looked back at the woman one last time and phased through the wall. I phased through a couple walls until I found the outside. Once outside, I saw the facility I was in was in a remote area. I looked around I saw I was in a parking lot and that's when I saw my biggest surprise.
''My car is here!?'' I said in shock. Right there in the lot was my car Kevin got me for my birthday. I was confused until I remembered I parked my car at the base of the skyscraper I jumped from, which is where the portal appeared. I was not complaining, as It made for easy transportation. I doubt these people have seen aliens, so I didn't want to travel by flying and on foot wasn't an option so this was perfect. I phased into the car and then changed back. I quickly put on my seatbelt, pulled out of the lot and drove out onto the open road. I saw a sign
''Bryce, Utah two miles away'' I said as I read the sign. So I figured that was the closest town, so I might as well head that way. I kept driving until I realized something.
''Where's my jacket?'' I said, realizing I wasn't wearing it. That's when I panicked and realized my fuck up.
''I left it back in the room, crap!'' I shouted. I realized It was too late to go back for it, which sucked as that jacket was a gift from Gwen for my 14th birthday. I couldn't worry about that now, it was gone, just like my family and I had to move on. It's not like I had to worry , as long as no counterpart of me exist in this world, they won't be able to trace the jacket back to me. I decided to turn on my radio as I got a message that intrigued me
''Operation Enduring Victory continues throughout Asia, as the Faro Plague continues to spread. It was not even a month ago that a swarm of Faro Automated Solutions Chariot Line bots owned by the Hartz Timor Energy Combine suffered a malfunction, and stopped listening to commands. As we know the Chariot Line is very dangerous, the peak of military weaponry, with their biomass conversion systems used for fuel, their ability to self replicate, unhackable software, and their ability to hack any opposing machines make the rogue swarm very dangerous, especially the Horus Titans, giant octopus like bots that can scale mountains. Because of this, The United states government under General Aaron Herres has recruited old soldiers and even civilians from all countries to help fight against the plague. Doing this while F.A.S founder Ted Faro starts ramping up production of Human operated vehicles and weapons for the fight, since the U.S. own chariot bots are useless against the rogue swarm. According to General Herres, A secret weapons project called Zero Dawn, a project headed by Dr. Elisabet Sobeck and Funded by Ted Faro, is being worked on. It will destroy the rogue swarm, as long as humanity holds off the swarm long enough for it to finish. Now onto other news''-
I stopped the radio as that shocked me. Rogue robots with abilities like that? That sounds bad. These bots sound like monsters ,and dangerous to even be close too. I debated on what I should do. Do I be a Hero and save these people? Or do I just relax and let them handle it? It was a big moral question but then I remembered all my adventures and all the good I did. I even remember the night I got the original omntrix and around the campfire I told Gwen why I wanted to learn to use the watch
''If I could figure out how this thing works, I could help people, really help them'' I muttered to myself. I always wanted to help people and when I got the omntirx that was a possibility. I then looked up, determined and smiled. I had a new resolve. This may not be MY earth, but these people needed help, a hero to save the day and that's who and what I am. Watch out world Ben 10 is here to kick some robot ass! I smiled as I drove down the highway and entered Bryce.
''After a quick pit stop, it's off to Asia'' I said to myself as I parked my car outside a store, wanting to grab a bite to eat after all the stress.
Elisabet Pov:
I started opening my eyes feeling groggy, wondering what was going on. I got up, shielding my eyes as the light blinded me. Once my vision started to gain focus, I saw I was in some kind of rec room, and I was lying in a bed. I felt cold, so I wrapped my arms around my chest and that is when I felt plumpy bare skin. I looked and realized I was naked!
''What the hell?! Why am I naked?!'' I shouted. I was completely naked, no clothing to speak of. I am freaking out! What happened to me. At first I thought did I drink last night?
''No that isn't possible, I was working on Zero Dawn last night and we have a strict no drink policy on work time, and even then I am not fond of anything but a glass or two of wine'' I said to myself. So If I wasn't drunk and I know well as fuck I didn't do this intentionally, so that could only mean one thing.
''Was I drugged and raped?'' I said. That would explain me not remembering anything. I felt tears start to well up in my eyes, but I quickly wiped them away. I needed to find the son of a bitch who did this to me!, and make him pay. I got up and grabbed my clothes and quickly got dressed. I was about to leave the room when I saw a piece of clothing that wasn't mine. I went to examine it. It was a green jacket with white lines and the number 10 printed over the heart.
'' This must belong to the fucker who did this to me, good I can possibly get DNA from this. This person either works for Zero Dawn or was a civilian who entered the facility, the latter being scarier as that expands the list of suspects and puts the truth of Zero Dawn being revealed to the public, I can't let that happen the truth must be kept secret'' I said to myself. I grabbed the jacket and headed out the door. I started to head down the hallway, trying to figure out where to start. That is when I ran into my fellow Alpha and fellow ex F.A.S employee, Margo Shen. Margo smiled and waved at me, but upon seeing the serious and disturbed looked on my face, she got worried.
''Hey Liz, what's wrong'' she asked me. I smiled softly at her, if there was anyone I considered a friend here, it was Margo. We both met after she left F.A.S and we shared the same ideals and got a long great. She looks up to me like a hero due to all my work and wanted to just as good as I am, and I was flattered by it and tried teaching her everything I knew about Green Robotics. I knew I could trust her, so I decided to tell her the truth .
'' I am about to tell you something serious, something I do not want shared with anyone else, not even the other Alphas. I'm not asking you this as a colleague, but as a friend.'' I told her. Her eyes widened in shock but nodded. So I began with what I knew, telling her how I just woke up in bed naked, not remembering anything past from what I left working on GAIA yesterday, and how I figured I was drugged and violated. Tears began to fall into my eyes, as I finished my recounting of what happened. Margo had tears in her eyes and jumped and pulled me in for a hug. We both started to cry together, me letting my emotions out and her comforting me. I pulled away and dried my tears, as she did the same with hers. I showed her the jacket and explained how I would try to get DNA off of it to track this fucker down. Margo stopped and seemed to be thinking, when she came up with something good.
''Why don't we check the cameras in the hallway? I'm sure they may give away the person who did this'' she suggested. That was a great idea. I forgot about the cameras we had in the halls.
''That is a great idea Margo, let's go'' I told her. We left to go find the computer room, which was just down the next corridor. As we turned the corner, and made our way down we stopped as we saw a pile of destroyed crates.
''What could have destroyed those?'' Margo asked me. I wasn't sure. Did this happen due to me? Was this from a struggle with my assailant? I turned toward Margo to share my thoughts
''Not sure, though it may have to do with me and the son of a bitch that caused this, maybe we had a struggle before he drugged me'' I told her. She nodded, as we walked into the security room. We were about to find out what happened to me. We went up to the screen and started to play back from yesterday. We sped up through the day, as nothing seemed out of places. Just security ,and fellow Alphas wandering the facility. We stopped about after the meeting ended at 7 p.m. but weirdly that is when some parts of the camera started blurring. Margo and I tried to fix it but it wouldn't happen.
''They must have tampered with the cameras to cover their face'' Margo suggested. This made sense, as if they knew about the facility or even worked in the facility, they would know about the cameras. Something however compelled me to keep watching, pretty much a gut feeling. Me and Margo kept watching , hoping something of note came up. That is when it got to a certain scene came up. I pointed out to Margo what popped up on the screen.
''There! There I am on the screen!'' I pointed out to Margo. We watched as I came into view and stopped at a table. I picked up a cup, and I drank from it. Me and Margo kept watching, waiting nervously for what happens next. Margo and I were shocked when on screen, we saw that I started to get dizzy. I started to collapse on the floor.
''What the fuck! So I was drugged'' I screamed. I was so pissed, and so was Margo. We tried to calm down and keep watching. That's when we saw me on the floor, struggling to get up. This is when a man appeared on screen, with his face blurred.
''This must be the guy who did this to you'' Margo said, seething with contained rage. I was about to agree, when I saw this man wasn't wearing the green jacket I had. I pointed this out to Margo
''No it can't be see he is not wearing the jacket I have'' I told her holding up the jacket to her. Margo didn't seem convinced.
''I don't know Liz, this man seems to be the one who did it, I mean he showed up after you drank the cup'' she said. She made a good point but I chose to keep watching and she followed.
Well well, look at the great Elisabet Sobeck now on her knees defenseless, not so high and mighty now are you? When I'm done with you, I'll have you broken and fragile and make you pay for the shit you did to me'' The man in the video said. Margo and I were shocked.
''Ok so this guy seems to have some personal beef with you Liz'' Margo said. I agreed with her, wondering who I could have made mad enough to do something like this to me. I just couldn't piece it together, and neither could Margo. We kept watching for more clues.
''Now we are going to have some ''fun'', just as I grab the oth- the man said as he approached the able to reach for something, only to seemed shocked it wasn't there. What is he surprised about?
''The other cup, where is it!?'' The man said frantically, as he tore apart the table looking for it. I was even more confused than before.
''Another cup? What for?'' I wondered. Margo seemed to share my thoughts and gave an answer.
''I think he may have been trying to drug himself. That way he would look innocent and not be suspected'' she said. That seemed to make sense, with the blurry camera and audio, along with being drugged, they probably wouldn't be caught, but that only leads to two questions
'' Makes sense, but if so where is the cup? And why run away before I woke up'' I asked her. Margo didn't seem to have an answer for this, so we just kept watching further.
'' I can't find the cup, this isn't good'' the man said, and he turned to look at me. Just when he seemed to be figuring out what to do, a noise seems to startle him and he turns around. What he sees behind him is another person, moving sluggish and falling over.
''Who are you?'' The man asked the new stranger. This person seemed to be in their 20's, and had brown hair. Their back was to the camera so their face was being hidden. One thing that struck out is what the person was wearing
''THAT PERSON IS WEARING THE GREEN JACKET!'' I yelled, startling Margo. She was shocked by my outburst and upon looking at the camera, she could see that I was right. This bought on even more questions.
''So that is the person who owns the jacket, but clearly they weren't the one who drugged you, so what's going on'' She asked me. I couldn't answer as I could not piece it together myself.
''Let's keep watching we are sure find out more'' I suggested. Margo nodded and we continued to watch.
''The man looked at the other male, then turned back to Elisabet and back to him and then started to laugh very creepily.
''Well not exactly according to plan, but I can make this work'' The man says. He walks up to the stranger and puts a hand on his shoulder.
Margo and I were shocked. We were trying to process what was going on and how this made any sense. That's when Margo understood
''You saw how the stranger was walking right and how the guy was wondering where the cup was right, well I think that stranger in the took it by mistake and you both slept together, which was not the original intention. This guy didn't do it on purpose, he was a victim of this sick motherfucker also'' She told me. I couldn't believe this, so not only was I fucked up by someone who clearly hated my guts, but an innocent young man fell into this by complete accident not even knowing what would happen. If I find this motherfucker, I will cut his balls off and smash his teeth in! I was so pissed but Margo held my hand, calmed me down, and reminded me we had more to watch. I nodded and we continued. What we saw next shocked us.
''Warning: User Ben Tennyson has consumed liquid laced with drug, Host weakened and vulnerable. Threat nearby, activating Bio-Energy Feedback'' The watch on the stranger's wrist said. Wait his watch could talk? We watched as the watch sent out a dome of green energy, as the guy took a step back. The blast expanded till it exploded, sending the creep flying into a pile of crates, breaking on impact. The stranger was sent backwards from the blast of his watch. The creep screamed in pain
''FUUUCCK! MY ARM! IT's BROKEN'' the creep screamed. He grabbed a hold of his broken arm and fled the scene. After he leaves, the stranger slumbles towards me, and asks
''ar-e yo-u o-k'' He asks me on the video sluggishly. On the video, I go to lift my head but I collapse from the effects of the drug. He catches me, but he passes out too and falls on top of me. The video ends there
Margo and I were shocked at the end with so many questions. Margo was the more vocal one
''WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT! SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT! YOU WERE DRUGGED, THAT GUY WAS GONNA DRUG HIMSELF TO SET IT UP AS AN ACCIDENT, THEN SOMEONE ELSE DRANK IT BY MISTAKE, THEN THIS STRANGER'S WERID TALKING WATCH BLASTS THE GUY INTO A PILE OF CRATES, AND THEN YOU BOTH PASS OUT! WHAT THE FUCK!'' Margo screams, both freaked out, confused and pissed off. I put my hand on hers and calmed her down. She finally relaxed a bit and started to think rationally
''Thanks Liz, sorry for going crazy there'' she says to me apologizing.
''It's no big deal I do not blame you, though at least we have some answers'' I told her. She looks at me puzzled.
''Do we though? I mean yeah we know the person you were in bed with didn't do this to you intentionally, but we don't know what he looks like, what the guy who did this to you looks like, not even a clue to who you could have made mad enough to do this'' she said to me. She was right about that we didn't have all that information, but we did have one thing.
''We do have one thing on this jackets owner though Margo, his name Ben Tennyson, at least that's what his watch said his name was'' I told her. She had her eyes wide, realizing I was right but then she asked
''How will a name help without a face?'' She asked me.
''We will scan this jacket for DNA, and put it in the data base and put a face to the name'' I told her. She nodded and we made our way out of the room, a new goal in mind.
''What about the guy who did this to you though'' She asked.I turned and looked at her.
''I will get to the bottom of that too, that guy had his arm broken during the encounter, meaning it should be easier to pull a list of suspects from. First things first, find this Ben Tennyson guy and get him hear. Not only for justice, but being a civilian he puts the risk of Zero Dawn being exposed to the world'' I told her. Margo nodded and we headed off with only one question on my mind
Who are you, Ben Tennyson?
Ben's POV: Taiwan, Four weeks after leaving facility
''Ok things are so not going my way'' I told myself, as I dodged a missile. I was in the form of Fourarms currently. It has been four weeks since I arrived in this world and left that facility. After stopping in Bryce Utah for the night I made my way to Asia to help fight these robots, and boy were they as dangerous as the news said. I was currently in Taiwan helping fight these bots, though obviously in secret, as I doubt people will take kindly to aliens when they are already dealing with a robot apocalypse. It has been 4 weeks of hard fighting and even though I have done more damage than a lot of human fighters combined and actually could easily destroy the bots easily, they replicate so fast and learn as they fight also, so it made it hard to put down a lot of them, and they can also repair destroyed units. Luckily some of my aliens managed to completely destroy these machines and reduce them to dust leaving nothing to repair. Even then they just kept coming! I was currently fighting what is called a ''Kopesh'', the heavy hitter of the swarm filled with loads of weapons and artillery. I ducked and dodged as missiles kept coming at me. I finally ran up to the Kopesh and jumped on it, and using all four of my arms I tore the kopesh apart and scrapped it into tiny pieces where it could never be rebuilt. That tired me out however , yet more kopeshes were coming, as well as the agile and hacker scarabs.
''Give me a Break, ok you guys want to fight fire with fire, I know someone who can turn up the heat!'' I yelled as I tapped the omntirx symbol on my chest and felt my body change, becoming plant like. With the transformation ending, I was
''SWAMPFIRE'' I yelled. I immediately jumped into action, throwing seeds on the ground, restricting the bots movements, then shot streams of fire at them. When the smoke cleared, to my shock the bots were just scorched a bit.
''Aww Man,, heat resistance'' I yelled. What don't these guys have?
The bots broke free of the vines, and started to consume them. I forgot about that.
''I forgot about your biomass conversion systems for fuel'' I said. Though I had a better idea ,which made me smile.
'' You may be heat resistant, which is impressive to stand up to Swampfires flames, but HOW much heat can you handle. Let's find out!'' I yelled out. I tapped the symbol on my chest and it popped out.
''There is always a time to go hero, but then there is times to go…. ULTIMATE!'' I shouted out.I tapped the symbol down as I didn't just changed, but EVOLVED. My plant body became more wooden, and my head became blue and bigger. When it was done, I was
''ULTIMATE SWAMPFIRE!'' I exclaimed. I looked at the bots as they kept approaching and all I did was raise my hands and blasted out powerful blue flames. The blasts were powerful and blowed the bots back, but also started to melt them. The flames were so hot, they started to melt like hot wax and by the time I was done there were nothing left of them. I smiled
'' That's more like it'' I said. I then heard a noise and then looked forward. More kopeshes and scarabs arrived, but behind them was the monster itself, The HORUS class Titan.I could only get more angry but prepared to fight.
''Can't I get a break'' I said, as I charged the bots firing flames as I did.
Elisabet's POV: Docotr's office, Zero Dawn Facility
I was sitting here waiting for the doctor. It has been four weeks since the incident and I have had no leads into either who Ben Tennyson was or who drugged us. I ran the DNA through the world wide data base and didn't find a match anywhere. I was at a loss. I had to balance this, working on Zero Dawn, and recently the past week I have started throwing up. It has been happening constantly multiple times a day for the past week. I don't know what is going on, so I am at the doctors to get a check up so I can maybe get medicine to feel better and continue my work on Zero Dawn uninterrupted. The doctor ran several tests and left quite a bit ago. As I am sitting here thinking, The doctor comes in and looks somber but smiling a bit. She comes up to me
''Elisabet I have ran your test results, and I'm not sure how to tell you this'' she said to me. I started to freak out
''What is it? Cancer? Tumor? '' I ask while freaking out. She puts her hand on mine and calms me down
'' No dear not any of that, though it will shock you'' she said.
''Ok if it's not a disease what is it?'' I asked her, nervous, and what she said shook me to my core
'' Your Pregnant''
End chapter 1.
Whoa. First chapter took days to write with how long it is. I hope everyone will enjoy this story. Now to answer some questions some will have:
One, this is set years after Omniverse
Two, Ben has his Alien Force design only he is a bit taller, like Kevin's height. He has the omniverse omnitrix, and it has the evolutionary function just like the ultimatrix has.
As I said, Ben is 25 in this fic, and Elisabet is 44 at this point. Speaking of them, why this pairing. Well I wanted to go for something unique and here are my other reasons:
Ben protects innocents and loved ones, and especially his family and friends. Having lost them all, Ben is broken and felt he has lost some purpose in life. Elisabet always wanted a family of her own, as heard at the end of Horizion when a recording of her is talking to GAIA, saying how she just ''never had the time'', and now she does have a child, and that goes against protocol of Zero Dawn Alphas. She will now have to fight to protect this child as she will finally have what she has wanted for a long time, a family. And Ben will not only have a family, but something personal that he will want to protect, something that can give him the motivation to keep fighting no matter what! Ben and Elisabet's romance will evolve as the story progresses, from stranger's to being in love and respecting each other as partners. Ben and Elisabet will clash due to opposing natures but balance each other out, whether due to Ben's recklessness and his minor immaturity or Elisabet's no nonsense attitude. They will help each other out.
Well that is all for now, where will the adventures of this story take us next? Find out next time on chapter 2 of Horizon 10: Child of the Genius and The Hero
P.S. While the Man who started all this face was covered up, I think any Horizon fan knew who is was, especially with how scummy he was in universe.
Also I do not own any of these properties or characters, they are owned by cartoon network, Man of Action, and Gureilla Games and Sony respectively.
