Aerodactyl999: Thanks for voting,it will be counted below. Also, there's no need to apologize,as the votes are meant to be done in the form of reviews. Even if it's just one character you vote for, that's ok, but since you also voted for the Zenin sisters, I'll add them as well.

Maximum Rhapsody: Thanks for voting,it will be counted below. Unfortunately Charmcaster is not possible. No,Gwen will still have an edge over Ben, mostly due to her experience with her powers. Yes, Ben will also use his newly formed abilities against opponents in the future. If I ever do a proper Ben 10 and Naruto crossover, I'll ask for your assistance as a co-writer.

The Princess of the Red Moon: Thanks for voting,it will be counted below. I agree with everything you said about Mai, and it's good to know that there's a fellow manga reader as well. I'll consider it, but until then, let's continue to push through S1. Hope this meets up to your expectations.

Jetjaguar98: Thanks man for everything, and I'm glad as well. Hoping things keep getting better. Thanks for your votes,it will be counted below. Do you mean In Charm's Way,Charmcaster's debut episode in Alien Force? If so,I think I get what you mean. But yeah, it'd probably be better if we discussed more on it. I agree with you on the fact that the girl's close to Ben get power ups completely, and that the execution for most of them could have been better. Also none taken, Julie can't fight without Ship, but she can at least stand up for herself.

Glad you liked the fact that I went in that direction. Your theory about Male and female anodites is very intriguing, and I can see that happening. I'll employ it in this story as well. I agree as well,I don't intend for Ben to immediately surpass Gwen once he awakens his powers in order to be fair to her. Love your suggestion on how to deal with Ben's powers, will use that as the basis to highlight his growth.

Also, i don't see it as rambling,as I enjoy reading your reviews. Thanks for again for your support and well wishes, take care of yourself as well, and hope you enjoy this chapter. Knowing that I can count on all of you for support with this story makes me extremely grateful

Also, newly added. I loved your reply to Bountyodst. Not only did you raise every point necessary as to why Ben not having an anodite form doesn't work, but you did so in a really respectable way, without belittling him. My respect for you has increased,so keep it up.

VongolaPrima53: Thanks for voting,it will be counted below.

Bountyodst: Thanks for voting, it will be counted below.

Originally,I was going to explain my reason for giving Ben an anodite from,as I understand your gripes with it. However,by the time I checked the review section,I already saw that Jetjaguar98 had replied to it.

The reasons he gave I agree with them fully, as they are also my beliefs on why Ben not having an anodite simply doesn't work. He even listed facts that I had forgotten about initially, but importantly,he did so in a respectable way by also considering your feelings as well. For that,my respect for him has increased a lot.

Hope you understand, and are not offended in anyway, though I doubt you would be. I want to assure you that I would not make any alteration to Ben 10 canon unless it feels like it is justified like in this case. I can tell you for certain that this may the only one in the story so far. If I do end up making another alteration to Ben 10 canon,I want to be able to count on you and the readers to let me know if that is the right move,as I appreciate your opinions greatly.

Omni warrior and Ninjago2002: Thanks for voting guys,it will be counted below. Also, thanks for the reason you gave as to why you voted for Nobara,gives me more insight on what you would like to see between her and Ben.

Chapter 6: A New Team

Location: Tokyo,Japan

It was a warm,sunny day in the streets of Tokyo. There was peace and harmony as the nearby pedestrians went on with their daily activities.

"The train bound for Shibuya and Shinagawa is now arriving at Track 1." Said the voice of a female train conductor.

"For your safety, please stand behind the yellow line." Standing below a signboard that seemed to be a pony made up of multicolored marbles was a young, teenage girl. She was relatively short with a slim figure. She has mid-length orange hair that reaches to her neck that is styled with bangs that cover the left side of her forehead. She also had orange eyes, long eyelashes, and thin eyebrows of the same color. She had on a pick backpack.

She wore the jujutsu school uniform, which consisted of a dark blue gakuran-style top (a button-down jacket) and a long matching skirt that reaches to just above her knees. She also sports black stockings and brown shoes along with a signature brown belt.

"Saori.I'm here." Said the girl as she held the handles of her backpack tight without moving from her position. They were numerous civilians in front of her and at her sides. They were all absorbed in their activities, which variated from either reaching their destination, stopping to take photos with each other, buying and eating pastries. All just to name a few.

"I'm in Tokyo!"


Not too far away from where the girl was, the three teens stood beside each other. Both Ben and Yuji had worn completely different clothes from their casual attire,as they now sported the jujutsu uniform.

Yuji wore a black long sleeve shirt resembling a gakuran over a red hoodie, black pants, and red shoes. He was leaning back on a very short steel railing that was brown in color. In his right hand was a blue popsicle stick.

Ben's attire was evidently inspired by Yuji's,as it beared nearly the exact same design. The difference was in the hoodie he wore underneath, which was a white hooded jacket with green stripes on both arms. Inside the hood was the number '10' written in green.

The left sleeve of his hoodie however,was most likely tucked in,as underneath the black long sleeved shirt was the Ultimatrix,just slightly exposed. He and Megumi stood at opposite sides of Yuji slightly away from the railing. Ben put his hands in his pocket while Megumi put his left hand on his waist.

"How are they only four first years? Isn't that few?" Yuji asked Megumi.

"Well, have you ever met anyone who can see curses before?" Asked Megumi rhetorically as Yuji began to nibble on the top of the popsicle.

"Nope." Replied Yuji.

"That just proves how small a minority jujutsu sorcerers are." Said Megumi.

"Also, didn't you say I was the third?" Asked Yuji.

"Their entry was decided a while ago.. You know what our school's like. Everyone has unique circumstances." Answered Megumi.

"You can say that again." Said Ben with a smirk.

"Sorry for the wait." Said Satoru with a smile as he came out from a building in front of the trio, waving at them.

"Oh?" Said Satoru in surprise as he took in Ben and Yuji's new appearance.

"Your uniforms made it in time,I see." Said Satoru with delight.

"Yeah, it's a perfect fit." Said a smiling Yuji.

"Same. Though I can't help but notice that it's different from Fushiguro's." Said Ben with a devious smirk.

"Yeah, you're right. It has a hood for one." Said Yuji as he looked towards Satoru.

"That's because the uniforms can be customized upon request." Said Satoru.

"Huh?" Said a confused Yuji.

"But we never put in any requests. I know I didn't." Said Ben.

"I didn't either." Said Yuji.

"I was the one who put in the custom orders." Said Satoru smiling. The two teens eyes widened in surprise,as they didn't quite know what to make of Satoru's revelation.

"Well,at least the designs are cool, so I'm ok with it." Said Ben with a shrug.

"Same here." Nodded Yuji in agreement.

"Careful you two. Gojo-Sensei has a tendency to do things like that." Warned Megumi as he looked at the duo.

"More importantly, why are we meeting up in Harajuku?" Megumi asked Satoru as he looked at the older man.

"Because it's what she asked for." Said Satoru.

"Hey, popcorn! I want some!" Said Yuji with enthusiasm.

On the street across from the four, there was a short, elderly man with black hair cut in a mullet wearing a green business suit. He had a smile on his face with his eyes closed as he walked alongside a young lady dressed in a red raincoat opened the down the middle, revealing a black collar shirt.

She also wore a white blouse with black leggings and red high heels. Strapped around her left hand was a red designer bag, and on her head was a black Ascot cap with vertical and horizontal white stripes placed on her head. Her hair was red and also parted in bangs. She had an evident look of disinterest on her face.

"Oh,hello there. Are you on the clock right now?" Asked the man.

"No, I'm not." Replied the lady nonchalantly.

"You see, I'm looking for potential models This is who I am. Would you be interested?" Pitched the man.

"I'm in a hurry right now." Said the lady dismissively.

"Just hear me out!" Pleaded the man as he stopped in his tracks. This would be futile as the lady would walk away from him without giving him a second thought, much to his dismay. Unbeknownst to him,an unlikely individual would be watching him from the street across from him.

"Hey, you." Said a female voice, pulling him. Once he turned to his back,he saw the girl with the jujutsu uniform from earlier, with three bags in each hand. One on her left,two on her right.

"What about me?" She asked as she pointed to herself.

'Her?!' Thought the man in disbelief as he gritted his teeth and widened his eyes in fear while sweat began to drip down off his face.

"For the modeling gig,duh. I'm asking what you think about me." She said with her arms crossed.

"Oh,um. I'm in a hurry at the moment..." Said the man nervously before attempting to walk away. He would immediately be pulled back by the girl with both hands. The guys watched the event unfold from across the street, with a sweatdrop coming down from the right side of Ben's face.

"What the hell? Don't run from me! Come out and say it!!" Said the girl in annoyance as she impressively held the man in place by the shoulder with just one hand. The man would once again attempt to run while whimpering in fear, but to no avail as the girl's grip remained.

"I'm sorry! Please let me go!" Pleaded the man.

"We're about to go talk to her?" Said Yuji with slight nervousness. Yuji was wearing a set of red shades that had the Letter 'R' at the left and the letter 'K' at the right. In his left hand was a popcorn in a green bag, and in his right hand was a strawberry ice cream. Ben stood in the middle of Yuji and Megumi, as Megumi was at his left and Yuji was at his right.

"This is kinda embarrassing." Said Yuji.

"So are you." Said Megumi with a scoff.

"Itadori's got a point though. Last thing we need is to make a bad first impression. Though she's kinda making a bad first impression right now." Said Ben with a sigh.

"Hey!" Shouted Satoru who stood at Megumi's left. He then placed his left hand at the left side of his mouth.

"Over here!" Shouted Satoru before dropping his left hand and waving with his right with a smile.

"Damn, what's up with that blindfold?" Said a lady who walked behind him.

The four males were currently at a place called the '400 Yen Corner' with the girl. She dropped her luggage inside a locker before closing it and locking it. After putting the key inside her pocket, she turned to face them directly with her hands on her waist.

"Okay, once again." Said Satoru with a smile as he stretched out his left hand while standing in front of the three teens. Megumi had a look of disinterest on his face. Ben had one of a slightly forced smile, while Yuji looked very nervous, which was obvious due to his head being slightly lowered down.

"Kugisaki Nobara." The girl introduced herself as her right hand was now dropped to her side.

"Be happy, boys. I'm the one woman in your group."


'Stare...' Thought Nobara as her eyes fell on the three boys, looking at each of them closely. Megumi looked away to his left side,most likely out of nervousness. Yuji looked at her with his mouth open, most likely due to a mixture of confusion and curiousity. Ben also maintained eye contact, and his slightly forced smile still remained.

"I'm Itadori Yuji. I'm from Sendai." Greeted Yuji with a smile as he pointed to himself.

"And I'm Tennyson Ben. I'm actually from the U.S, but I've been living in Sendai for a while now." Greeted Ben.

"Fushiguro Megumi." Said Megumi simply as he turned to look at her. Nobara frowned in response.

Kugisaki POV.

Yuji's facial expression immediately turned into that of a cartoon character with a slightly uncanny smile and an even more uncanny posture as his head moved from side to side in a slow, but wobbly fashion.

'He looks like a potato. He's definitely the type that ate his own boogers as a kid."

Ben's facial expression changed into a grin, with his eyes moving rather suggestively towards Nobara. He too also moved in a similar motion to Yuji.

'He looks like the kind of guy to stare at his own reflection in awe of himself. Definitely has an ego, plus he's a foreigner to boot. Though, I'll admit, his Japanese is surprisingly really good.'

Megumi moved in a similar motion to Ben and Yuji, but his expression was completely different from theirs. His eyes looked even more uninterested than before, and his mouth though closed, was rather amusing due to how it would extend to the ends of his face.

'And only a name here? I can't stand high-and-mighty dudes. I bet he likes setting oil-slicked gulls on fire.

End Pov

Nobara sighed in disappointment as her head fell to the side.

"I always get stuck with unfortunate circumstances." Said Nobara.

"She took one look and sighed." Said a disappointed Yuji.

"Her people skills are impressive." Said Ben sarcastically.

"Are we going somewhere from here?" Said Megumi as he looked towards Satoru. Satoru chuckled in response.

"We do have all four of you together. Not to mention,two of you are from the countryside." Said Satoru as the four teens looked at him.

"So of course we're going on a tour of Tokyo!" Grinned Satoru.

"Tokyo! Tokyo! Tokyo! We love Tokyo!" Shouted Yuji and Nobara in excitement as they hugged a smiling Satoru from both sides.

"Huh?" Said Ben and Megumi in confusion.

"TDL! I want to go to TDL!" Shouted Nobara.

"Idiot! TDL's in Chiba! Let's go to Chinatown,Sensei!" Shouted Yuji.

"Chinatown's in Yokohama!" Shouted Nobara.

"Yokohama's part of Tokyo! Don't you know that! Look at a map!" Shouted Yuji.

"The hell?! Quit spouting nonsense!" Shouted Nobara.

"I will now announce our destination." Said Satoru, causing both teens to stop arguing and kneel on their right legs.

"Roppongi!" Shouted Satoru.

"RoP..PON..GI!" Shouted Yuji and Nobara as they looked at each other with wide smiles,stary eyes and faint blushes on their cheeks. Meanwhile, Megumi looked at them with annoyance while Ben looked at them with a look of confusion.

The five arrived at their destination. It was in front of a large building at least three stories high. It had a dark purple aura surrounding it.

"You Liar!" Shouted Nobara as she gritted her teeth in anger. She stood to Satoru's right,who was in front of the four teens with a smirk.

"This isn't even Roppongi!" Shouted Yuji as he covered his eyes in frustration. He stood to Satoru's far left, and to Megumi's left as well. Ben stood to Megumi's right. While Megumi had a neutral expression to hide his embarrassment,Ben had an understanding smile on his face.

"You were toying with us country folk!" Nobara pointed at Satoru accusingly.

Imagine a cemetery where the sky was suddenly pitch black. But in the middle of it was a parting that looked rather colorful with a mixture of blue and purple.

"There's a big cemetery nearby. The double whammy of that and an abandoned building brought out a curse." Explained Satoru as the setting changed back to reality.

"Who does he think is responsible for the rice he gets to eat,huh?!" Shouted Nobara as she spun around while still throwing a tantrum.

"So they really do pop up more often around graves?" Asked Yuji as they all ignored Nobara.

"The issue isn't the cemetery itself. It's the fact that people associate cemeteries with fear." Explained Megumi.

"Oh,it was the same for schools, too, wasn't it?" Asked Yuji.

"Hold up. He didn't even know that yet?" Asked Nobara as she now turned to face the four of them.

"To be honest..." Began Megumi before recounting to Nobara the events that led to Yuji consuming one of Sukuna's fingers.

"He swallowed a special-grade cursed object?!" Shouted Nobara in disbelief.

"Gross! Unbelievable! That's so unsanitary and the disgusting!" Shouted Nobara as she stood in front of Satoru with her hands crossed in a manner similar to one ready to fight.

"No way,no way,no way,no way!" She comedically scooted further away from Satoru by a few metres.

"What?" Said Yuji with mild annoyance.

"I agree with her." Said Megumi.

"Not cool guys." Said Ben with disappointment.

"I want to know what all of you are capable of. Just think of this as a field test." Said Satoru.

"Nobara,Yuji. You two go exorcise the curse inside that building." Said Xlr8 Satoru with his hands behind the back of his head.

"Geh." Said Nobara through gritted teeth.

"Huh? But I thought only curses could exorcise curses, right?" Asked a confused Yuji. Satoru then turned back to look at him.

"I can't use jujutsu yet."

"You're basically half a curse already. There's cursed energy flowing throughout your body." Said Satoru as he pointed at Yuji.

"Though controlling that energy isn't something you can learn overnight, so use this." Satoru handed Yuji a broad blade sheathed in a brown scarb. The three boy's mouths widened in astonishment.

"It's the cursed tool, Slaughter Demon It's a weapon imbued with cursed energy. It'll work on curses,too." Yuji held up the now unsheathed blade. It looked like a short butcher's knife with two vertical holes at it's base. Below it was a white bandage and the part before it's handle had black fur. With a smile,Yuji put the blade back into it's sheathe.

"Gotta admit, that's pretty cool." Said Ben in approval.

"It's lame." Said Nobara dismissively before walking forward and loosening her belt before tightening it again. Yuji began to follow him suit.

"Oh,one more thing." Said Satoru, causing Yuji to stop and turn back to look at him.

"Don't let Sukuna out. If you use him, you'll get rid of all the curses nearby in a flash, but you'll also drag everyone around into it." Advised Satoru.

"Got it. I won't let Sukuna out." Said Yuji with a thumbs up.

"Hurry it up!" Shouted Nobara who had gone far ahead.

"Yeah,yeah." Replied Yuji as he ran forward.

"Go on,now!" Said Satoru.

"Good luck you two!" Encouraged Ben.

"Thanks Tennyson. But we'll be fine!" Shouted Yuji with a smirk. He then knelt down in order to open the garage door.. Once it was open,Nobara ran inside and Yuji walked in before closing it. He then ran inside as well.


The three males sat on a short but long stone concrete that could make for a chair. Megumi sat at the left, Satoru sat in the middle, and Ben sat at the right.

"You know, I'm kinda wondering you didn't let either me or Fushiguro accompany them." Said Ben as he looked at Satoru.

"You already proved yourself by beating Sukuna,so you can afford to sit this one out. And Megumi's still recovering, so there's no need to stress him." Reasoned Satoru.

"But someone needs to keep an eye on Itadori, right?" Asked Megumi.

"True. But the one we're testing this time is Nobara." Said Satoru.

"She's quite the character isn't she?" Said Ben a bit sheepishly.

"The same could be said for Yuji." Said Satoru as he placed his index finger on his head.

"He's missing a few up here. He has no hesitation when it comes to killing these things that take the form of living creatures, albeit bizzare looking ones,to try to kill him."

"And it's not like he's been familiar with curses for long time like you, Megumi."

"Or has he ever fought the monsters and aliens you have, Tennyson." Megumi looked at Ben in surprise but didn't say anything since Satoru was still speaking.

"This is a boy who used to live a normal high school life. You've seen plenty of jujutsu sorcerers , even those with talent, give up in frustration because they couldn't conquer their fear or disgust, haven't you,Megumi?" Megumi didn't respond.

"So today,I want to confirm how crazy she is."

"But Kugisaki has experience, right? Little late for that now, isn't it?" Asked Megumi.

"Curses are born from human minds. So their strength and numbers grow in proportion to the population." Began Satoru.

"Do you think Nobara understands... that curses in Tokyo are on a different level than those in the countryside?"

"You've got a point there. But for her sake,I hope she doesn't underestimate these things.I only just started fighting them a few days ago, but I can already tell that they're pretty persistent, and not to mention smarter than they let on. The moment you let your guard down,they get the drop on you. And if you're unlucky, that might just be your last mistake." Said Ben with a grave tone as he reminisced how a cursed spirit nearly attacked him in human form at Yuji's school.

Images of Megumi getting injured, and Yuji nearly getting eaten flooded his mind, causing his body to tense slightly.

"That's a pretty accurate assessment for someone who just started fighting curses recently." Said Satoru.

"I'm full of surprises." Said Ben.

"Yeah it is. Far too accurate if you ask me." Said a wary Megumi.

"What do you mean, Fushiguro?" Asked Ben.

"Despite Itadori's consumption of Sukuna's finger being a rather unfavorable outcome, you handled yourself very well against the curses we fought for your first time. You even beat Sukuna in combat, and even though it was a weaker version,it doesn't undermine how impressive that is. Your mannerisms, your decision making,they all show signs of someone with extensive experience in using their abilities. And with what Gojo-sensei just said, you've fought beings just as dangerous if not more, than curses." Observed Megumi.

"What are you driving at?" Asked Ben, though he already know to that question.

"How is it that you got these powers without anyone knowing or hearing about it? And these foes that you've faced. Who are they, and how have I never heard about them. Quite frankly,how has someone like you managed to keep themselves concealed for so long, especially from Jujutsu Tech?" Asked Megumi. For a moment, silence was all that stood between the trio.

"Guess I was going to get asked sooner or later." Said Ben with a sigh.

"I promised you that I'd tell you whatever you need to know. Sorry i never did so till now." Megumi looked at Ben with narrowed eyes as he awaited an answer.

"Guess now's a good time as any." Said Ben with another sigh. He then looked Megumi straight in the eye,as he knew the weight of what he was about to say.

"Listen, Fushiguro. There's no easy way for me to say this but the answers I give you now many only leave with more questions than when you asked. You might not believe it at first, but I want you to know that everything I'm about to say to you is the truth and nothing but the truth. I also want you to know that there's a lot to be said. So much in fact that I can't say it all at once. I'm going to need you to bear with me as I tell you the most important parts because then, I'm sure you're still going to have a lot of questions."

"Are you asking me to employ a suspension of disbelief?" Asked Megumi.

"More like asking you to wait until I'm done explaining before you ask more questions." Said Ben.

"Very well. I will withold any further questions until you are done with your explanation." Said Megumi as he agreed to Ben's terms.

"Thanks Fushiguro." Said Ben with sincerity.

"Alright, Story time. I'm looking forward to it as well, Tennyson." Said Satoru with a smirk as he clasped his hands together.

"Don't you already know about how I got my powers?" Asked a perplexed Ben.

"I do, and that's exactly why I'm excited to hear it again. It's definitely one of the most interesting tales I've heard in my life." Said Satoru.

"Heh, can't say you're wrong. There's definitely nothing like it." Said Ben sheepishly in agreement.

"Alright then, I'll start from the beginning." Began Ben.

"I was on a summer road trip with my grandfather and cousin. During our first night out on the road,we set up camp at a park. I walked out into a nearby forest and saw what looked like a shooting star. Except it wasn't a shooting star as it headed right towards me, like a comet. Once it crashed into the ground,I walked towards the crater and saw a pod. Inside the pod was the Omnitrix." Megumi's eyes widened in surprise while Satoru's smirk widened.

"I walked into the crater to get a better look, and out of curiosity,I reached out to hold it. Then, the watch just flew onto my wrist and wouldn't come off. Like it was glued to me." Ben raised up his left hand to demonstrate as he showed the now exposed Ultimatrix.

"When I kept trying to get it off,I accidentally activated the dial. Then out of curiosity,I pressed it down and then turned into an alien for the first time. I call him Heatblast. As you can imagine,I was scared out of my mind since I turned into what I thought for sure was a monster. I was on fire, but it didn't hurt in the slightest. It felt almost as normal as breathing. I got carried away though and started a forest fire." Megumi gave Ben a look that said 'Are you serious right now?' While Satoru simply snickered.

"After a mild understanding,I was able to convince my Cousin Gwen and my Grandpa Max to help me put out the fire. After we met up and I changed back,we were thinking of what to do with the watch since it wouldn't come off. We wouldn't be able to come a conclusion anytime soon as not long after Alien robots attacked us. They were after the watch, but thanks to a few new transformations and my family,I was able to stop them." Ben grinned as he said this.

"Since then,we knew that more people would come after the watch,so we decided I might as well start using it to help out others and fight bad guys like a superhero. It was a pretty bumpy road, juggling summer vacation while having to deal with secret societies,mad scientists,bounty hunters,alien warlords, mutants and magic sorcerers just to name a few. But I couldn't have asked for better partners to kick butt with." Said Ben with pride.

"I've had the Omnitrix for about six years now, but you've heard me call it the Ultimatrix so I'm guessing you're wondering why that is." Megumi nodded in response.

"About a year ago,two of my worst enemies teamed up to get the Omnitrix. They used my cousin and best friend as a bargaining chip, leaving me no choice but to hand it over to them. Though I was without my powers,I was able to get my Gwen, Grandpa Max and my best friend Kevin to help me stop them.

I had to destroy the Omnitrix by making it self destruct so that Vilgax wouldn't be able to use it to take over Earth. Luckily for me, Albedo,my second enemy,has the exact same powers as I do. Only his watch is called the Ultimatrix. I swiped it from him by threatening to do the same thing to it like I did to the Omnitrix. With it, I was able to beat Vilgax." Megumi looked awestruck by Ben's words. Even Satoru looked evidently surprised.

"Trust me when I say that there's a lot more adventures than that." Said Ben with a smirk.

"I'm sure you're also wondering how Gojo knows so much about me. For now,let's just say we both have a mutual friend." Said Ben. For a moment Ben remained silent, giving Megumi free reign to ask his questions.

"How many aliens can you turn into? And how is it that no one else has ever heard of you? Or your foes?" Asked Megumi.

"Right now, about 63. If you're wondering why that is,a lot of the transformations in the watch are locked. That's the number I currently have access to. And on how no one's ever heard of me. That's an answer that I'd like to tell you when Itadori and Kugisaki are around. You both deserve to hear it at the same time." Though Megumi did seem somewhat unsatisfied with that response,he eventually came to terms with it and agreed.

"Speaking of Itadori and Kugisaki, they've been in there for a while now. Wouldn't hurt to check on them. At least to make sure that they're ok." Said Ben as he got to his feet. However, just as he began to stretch his hands, flying out of a window was a cursed spirit. It was rather short in stature, and the entirety of it's body,save for it's hands,legs,head and mouth was covered with brown hair. It's limbs were dark green, it's eyes bulged out of it's sockets and was closed and it's teeth were exposed. It was missing it's right hand.

Both Ben and Megumi were greatly alarmed by this. Megumi rose to his feet with his hands outstretched and Ben placed his right hand on the Ultimatrix dial. However, before either boy's could act, the curse suddenly disappeared in a form similar to decay with a black color. As a result, the purple aura surrounding the building disappeared as well.

"Nice. She's crazy all right." Said Satoru with a smile.

"That sounds so wrong." Said Ben before sighing.

"But as long as they're ok,it might not be so bad after all."


The day was gradually coming to an end as the sun began to set. The crisis had been averted, and the life that was previously in danger had been saved. A young boy with a blue short sleeved shirt and grey trousers stood in front of a house and waved at Ben, Satoru and Megumi as the three stood at the street across from him.

"I live over here! Thanks again!" Shouted the boy. Ben and Satoru waved back in response with a smile. Sitting far away from the trio on a flight of stairs was Nobara and Yuji. Both had a look of boredom on their face.

"Did you know I get into a foul mood when I'm hungry?" Said Nobara.

"When are you not in a foul mood?" Said Yuji in a low tone so that Nobara wouldn't hear him.

"Good Joseph!" Shouted Satoru with his left hand raised up as he, Ben and Megumi walked towards them.

"We made sure the kid got home." Yuji and Nobara got to their feet, both adopting fighting stances.

"Now shall we go grab some food?" Suggested Satoru with a grin.

"Steak!" Shouted a grinning Yuji.

"Sushi!" Shouted a grinning Nobara.

"Leave it to me!" Shouted a grinning Satoru.

"And what about you guys?" Asked Satoru. His question directed towards Ben and Megumi.

"I'll have a steak as well." Said Ben with a smile. He and Satoru then looked at Megumi,who was using his phone.

Feeling ignored,Ben, Satoru,Yuji and Nobara began to walk away, much to Megumi's surprise.

"Okay, let's go." Said Satoru.

"Oh,I forgot about my biggest haul of the day." Said Nobara as she walked far ahead of the boys and Satoru.

"Hey,you,go fetch my things." She said to Yuji.

"Huh? Why should I do it? I thought we were even." Asked Yuji.

"We won thanks to my cursed energy. Got a problem with that?" Said Nobara in a confrontational manner.

"What about my raw strength?" Countered Yuji.

"Your monstrous power from eating weird shit?" Said Nobara.

"It's not just that!" Countered Yuji.

"Right, Fushiguro? Tennyson?" Said Yuji as he turned back to face the two. Megumi looked annoyed while Ben had a small smile.

"Huh? what's the matter Fushiguro?" Asked Yuji.

"Nothing." Said Megumi as he looked away from Yuji.

"He's just mad that he didn't get to help out." Said Ben with a smirk, causing Megumi to look at him with annoyance, but he made no effort to deny his claim.

"What a child." Taunted Nobara as she placed her hand on her mouth in order to conceal a laugh. Yuji however wasn't as subtle as he began to laugh heartily.

Ben then looked at each of them respectively before his smile became broader and warmer. He hadn't been in this world for long, but he was already getting used to it, albeit gradually. And although he knew in his heart that the new friends he had seemingly made would never replace the ones from his world, he was grateful for meeting them as well. Because although he didn't know it, the moments he shared with them started to make him feel more at home.

Perhaps, one day, this could truly be his new home. Whenever that day may be though,he knew one thing for certain. He was going to protect it with everything he could, and cherish it as well.


That marks the end of Chapter 6. It was more pleasant to write than the previous chapter due to just how strong the episode it's based on is. So much so, that I was able to push through and publish it just two days after I published Chapter 5.

I initially wanted to include Ben fighting alongside Yuji and Nobara, but decided against it for numerous reasons. Plus I felt that Ben revealing more about who he is to Megumi would be a satisfactory alternative.

Overall,I concede that these past two chapters may not have been that significant due to Ben not really doing much. Fortunately, that's going to change during the next chapter; Chapter 7.

It will be based on Episode 4. It will also be the chapter where Ben,Yuji, Megumi and Nobara fight together as a team for the first time.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter more than I did writing it. Expect the next early next month. But until then, please have yourself a good one.
