I know that this is a few days late, I thought I'd uploaded it the same time as the last chapter. Now it's a few days dated, but anyhow...
Thank you for reading Reflected Scars! I hope you enjoyed it! And the ending as well! And thank you again for the request for the story; despite how long it took to write, I enjoyed doing it.
And that leads us to the next topic, yes, there is going to be a sequel to Reflected Scars, as hinted at in the end of the chapter. It takes place in Ben's home dimension, where Vilgax has taken over in his absence. He's going to have to put together a team to face down the threat of Vilgax, a team composed of both former allies and enemies. But, if they do manage to take down Vilgax, can Ben maintain control over his team, or is it going to be chaos all over again?
Like I said in the Author's Note section of chapter six, I'm going to be focusing primarily on The Ultra 10 Chronicles: Volume 3: Storms Gathering, though I am going to be working on several other minor stories as well. I plan to post the first chapter of Volume 3 this coming Thursday. But first, here's a preview for the U10C, Volume 3!
Ben let out a sigh and picked up the mask. The NanoMech had always felt oddly heavy in his hands. Like it was too much metal packed into too little space. But it felt even heavier now. This time, it was heavy with symbolic weight. Too much responsibility packed into too small of a person. But it was a weight that he hadn't only learned to carry, but to rely on.
"I know what I have to do," Ben muttered as he raised the mask to his face. "I know that my duty is to stop these villains, for good." As he felt the NanoMech expand over his body, he felt the reassuring feel of protection covering him; making him stronger than he was without it. Strong enough to do what had to happen. Benjamin Tennyson simply wasn't strong enough to protect the innocent from Ultra 10's villains. And so…
"I can't be Ben Tennyson anymore," he said, his mask illuminating his eye sockets in an eerie blue. "I have to be Ultra 10." With that, he activated the Omnitrix, emerging from the flash of light as Accelerate. In an instant, he disappeared.
