A giant golden book with a green hourglass symbol appeared from the empty space as it opened up its pages...again.
The Forgotten Ben's: Chapter ten, The Choice Made Wrong.
Xxxxxxx
-USA, South Dakota, Mount Rushmore, Plumber Base-
From the broken face of Washington we find the now depowered Vilgax, holding a stab wound to his chest, as a silver clad Ben loomed over him, a battle against good and evil now concluded.
But on this day, a choice will be made that will tip the scales to one or the other, dooming one side and bringing the other to the heights of glory itself.
This was the time of words, the time for exchanges with the spoken word.
"Then you are a fool. You have the ultimatrix, the sword of Azmuth, and the power of Dagon at your fingertips." Vilgax spoke after hearing Ben's idea for utilizing the power of the defeated Dagon.
"Yeah, so?" Ben asked with a confused look on his face.
"You claim to be a hero. What will you do with all this power?"
"Turn everybody on earth back to human, for starters."
"You think too small." Vilgax smirked. "We are alike, you and I. We take the universe in our hands and mold it to our will. You say you want peace and justice? Use your power. With little more than a thought, you could wipe out all evil."
Ben blinked while imagining the idea of destroying evil itself as Gwen and Kevin, now awake from the assault of the Dagon powered alien. "I really could."
"Ben. What are you thinking?" Gwen asked while still feeling a little dizzy.
"He's saying that the end of your struggles is at hand. He can create whatever universe he imagines." Vilgax said while Ben looked like he was in a trance. "Do it."
"Just wipe out evil."
"Do it!" Vilgax yelled while Gwen looked at Ben in shock.
"Are you really taking moral advice from Vilgax?"
Ben looked at the blade, then at the empty sky as he started to find the idea of eliminating evil to be perfect for him, to get rid of those that would destroy the planet multiple times just for petty revenge, to rid the universe of the many warlords, insane scientists, killers and false gods so the universe and many even other dimensions can finally relax and obtain a lasting peace.
But as these thoughts entered his mind, another one wormed its way into his gray matter.
Who would lead these beings into the future and who is worthy of keeping the peace that he might make with the powers currently in his hands.
"Ben!"
He turned to Gwen and smiled. "I have a thought, what if Vilgax is right?"
"Wait-"
"Hear me out." he said while the armor around his right arm slowly moved back to reveal the ultimatrix. "Evil will always come out of the shadows, and every day we have to either kick them back into said shadows or just let them take over our lives."
"That's kinda true." Kevin frowned. "But this is Vilgax we are talking about."
He tapped the lense of the ultimatrix with the ancient blade as it glowed a bright white color and then returned to normal. "I know, but his idea is sound except for three things. One, if I eliminated all evil, will evil return to this world as a new form or from a place the powers I have can not penetrate?"
Gwen raised an eyebrow at this while Ben turned the lense and did a complex series of turns. "This isn't the time for philosophy Ben, you have to fix humanity now."
He ignored her before pressing the lense down. "Ultimatrix, connect to Primus and make copies of all known DNA with it's archives before activating self destruct."
'Order granted. Anything else?'
"Activate a dimension wide magnetic field on the ultimatrix and allow for every weapon, item, disease, DNA strand and other miscellaneous objects to send them to this location." ben said as it began to emit a dark green wave that spread out in all directions.
"Ben!" Gwen yelled as Kevin looked up and saw everything near them getting absorbed into Ascalon itself, as if they were made of liquid metal.
'It will be done in five minutes. Anything else?'
"Yes, unlock all aliens." he said as the core glowed red for a second. "As I was saying Gwen. The second thing is that if evil should exist in the same place, it would be pointless to eliminate it all within the said universe as long as it's still working. Just as Azmuth said about the omnitrix, I am Noah and it's the Ark. So for the ultimatrix, no longer shall it be an instrument of evil, it shall be a vessel for myself as I become the only good being to oversee the destruction and rebirth of this dimension."
Vilgax smirked at this. "So you chose to eliminate evil-"
SWISH!
Dark green blood covered the light gray armor as the warlord's head was lopped off by Ascalon.
"And three." Ben said while smirking at the other teens. "Beliving I would let him live to corrupt MY new order was just stupid."
"Ok." Kevin frowned while the stars and planets began to get absorbed into the blade. "I think it's time for a rest." he then absorbed some steel and gained a coating of metal as his right hand formed a hammer. "Stay still."
He raised his blade up before stabbing Kevin in the heart, the coating falling apart as the teen felt his strength fading. "One down."
SWISH!
Gwen's eyes widened as Kevin was cut in half as she tried to form mana in her hands, but felt all of her strength fading from her body as well. "Kevin!"
"One to go." Ben walked over to Gwen and smiled. "Sorry, but I can't have you or Kevin live. Your evil might infect my new world, don't worry though, your energy and DNA will be preserved in my new dimension."
"Ben." she got out while extending her hands out. "Don-"
SWISH!
The head of Gwendolyn Tennyson fell to the ground as it faded into pink particles along with her body, the armor clad teen turning around and raised his blade into the air.
The ancient blade Ascalon, now glowing with green energy, absorbed everything within the universe and beyond as Ben watched on with a sly smirk.
And just like that. Nothing. Nothing but a blank slate.
The void of pure milky white permeated the dimensions of this once vibrant dot in the vastness of existence itself.
The only one left, Ben Tennyson himself.
He looked around while smiling at his work, the former hero shedding no tears to the destruction he had created, for this was all necessary for the elimination of evil and thus, the plan to remake the universe as a utopia for good and noble lifeforms.
As he looked at the void, he raised his blade up and, with the ultimatrix glowing in unison, and with a single motion plunged the blade into the milky void, causing the void to be bathed in a rainbow of light.
As it died down, we see that the void has become a vast black galaxy full of planets, stars, nebulas and comets while a dark lifeless planet orbited around Ben.
"My first world." he muttered before looking over himself and frowned. "This won't do, I should be awe-inspiring not...filthy with evil's blood."
The blade and gauntlet glowed before Ben's body was covered in a bright light.
Revealing a gigantic figure made of pure gray metal, dark yellow eyes that shone like supernovas, with long metallic gold lines going across its body, ten massive wings of golden light lined its back as it's head was covered in wavy galaxies that went to the waist and were pointed near the ends with triangular moons, and had a massive sword of pure white energy floating around them as a dark green hourglass symbol floated around the head like a halo, which towered over the planet itself.
"I now bring forth life." he said in a booming voice before raising his hand up and causing the planet to obtain an atmosphere, water, land, soil and all the necessary things for life to start. He then looked upon the universe he created and for a short amount of time, worth a million years, he was content.
But his was short lived as he felt a disturbance on the planet he just created and looked into it, zooming across thousands of light years in a single gaze, and saw a society of tiny gray skinned humanoid lizards, all of them wearing the furry skins of ten eyed mammals of unknown origin, squabbling over the carcass of one of their own, stone spears and ten inch claws aimed to destroy the other.
"Evil has won." he said before using the blade to slice the dimension in half again, sending everything to the void again, his own form slowly gaining red line like cracks on the smooth metallic skin. "But not this time. I shall recreate this world again."
The eyes glowed red while he started to plunge the blade back into the white void, the cracks glowing brightly as the dimensions of this reality became obscured by it's hues.
"And this time, evil shall be destroyed forever. So says I, the god of gods."

Aliens used: None.
Bio: Within the vast omniverse, the decision of Ben to give into Vilgax's idea of ending evil itself would normally be discarded in favor of fixing humanity and either keeping the ultimatrix and the blade Ascalon or giving them away for a new omnitrix model. However, this Ben Tennyson chose to give in to that notion due to his Julie failing to appear at his hour of need, thanks to being converted into an Esoterica before Ship could cover her in Galvanic Mechamorph armor. Due to this, he decided to reprogram the ultimatrix, absorb all things in the universe before eliminating it in a single 'blip' in time, but after recreating the first instance of his dimension, he developed a god complex that compels him to destroy all evil that appears in his 'perfect worlds', even if it's a tiny minute thing. Because of his insanity and constant remaking, the dimension is being destroyed with every remaking, soon it will be completely destroyed, taking him with it.
