The galaxy was vast, infinite wonders to uncover, countless planets to gain from. Space was full of treasures to take, of knowledge to acquire, of power to gain.

And of pests to get rid of.

The Megacruiser, a pathetic old ruin of a spaceship, had captured many fighters, many creatures, just for the sole amusement of those willing to watch others brawl. All of that under the former watch of Slix Vigma, a robotic fiend who thought entertaining populations through illegal fights would lead him anywhere.

If Ben hadn't already got rid of him, he would have as soon as he found this place.

And if the information he had was correct, the one he was looking for was there, waiting for him.

That mutant knew nothing of what he had coming. He would soon learn what'd happen when you dare harm the heir of Vilgax.

Kevin was in luck.

He had stopped counting the days after that Ben Tennyson left him behind to rot in this junk. Ever since that Technorg guy beat him down and went back to his home planet, Kevin had only one goal in mind: rip that kid's head off his body and take his watch for good measure.

Tennyson was just another kid asking for a beatdown, he just needed to get his stupid weak mouth shut. After that weird robot guy was taken down, Kevin was stuck in there, so he decided to show everyone who was still there who's boss in this ship. Now they were all acting like cowards, making weird noises like sick animals. That's what these aliens freaks were after all.

So he told himself, if he couldn't defeat a wimp like Tennyson on his own, he needed help from someone who was just as bad as he is. He kept looking for other tough guys on other planets, but they were all too weak, too lame as fighters. They all didn't look for a fight like he did, or they were too easy to wipe the floor with.

It pissed him off that Tennyson got away with beating him up, but he had to stay there, in a freakish body with ugly monsters around, and they all blamed him for that. He'd show them after ripping that watch off Tennyson's wrist.

But even if he didn't find someone tough enough, he kept hearing rumors. Every time he went somewhere with the Megacruiser, people kept mistaking the ship for another one. And whenever he went out, they all kept mistaking him for someone else until he got close.

Whenever he went anywhere, he heard the name Vilgax.

That guy was apparently one of the scariest aliens in the universe, an iron fist that was feared in almost every solar system. Just what he needed to get rid of that little snot rag.

He ordered the aliens aboard to find a way to contact him or get his location. He had to make himself clear more than once, sending them flying all over the place, dumping some overboard, before they finally obeyed. If that wasn't what that Vilgax guy did with his own slaves or whatever, Kevin doubted he could get help. But at this point, he was itching for a fight.

A spaceship that looked like a taser gun from one of the sci-fi movies he used to sneak in to watch was coming near. It did look kinda cool, maybe he could take it for himself when he's done clobbering Tennyson.

The Megacruiser's hatch opened itself, allowing the Chimerian Hammer to enter. The alien workers around were getting nervous, some fleeing while Kevin wasn't looking. Vilgax the Conqueror was there for Celestialsapiens' sake! Why the weird hybrid that forced them to work for him had decided to meet Vilgax of all people was beyond them. If they weren't careful, they could become squid monster food any time soon.

The smaller, yet more threatening, spacecraft opened its door. Drones came out of it, scanning the surroundings. They however seemed to shut when their sensors went over Kevin, as if he wasn't a threat to their owner.

From behind the shadows the Chimerian Hammer contained, a giant squid man, wearing a dark maroon armor and some type of breather mask on his face. 'Maybe that fish-head can't breathe on land like I do.'

The workers were all shivering in fear. This was it. This was how they went out. Killed by a tween's whim of wanting to wrestle against another tween. Couldn't he just buy a rag doll and be done with it instead of taking them down with him? Those were cheap when you got a ship like this, only a few Tayden coins. But no, they just had to die like this!

Kevin grinned, showing Ripjaw's teeth on the amalgamated mess that was his face. He might've won the jackpot.

"The legendary Vilgax."

Vilgax looked with disgust at Kevin, not that the young mutant could tell. The alien knew exactly who he was dealing with, and how to deal with him.

"Wherever I went in the galaxy, no matter whose butt I kicked, one name kept coming up over and over. Your reputation precedes you in this dump."

"What is the reason of the signal you've sent to my ship?" snarled Vilgax.

"We have a lot in common." said Kevin. "You're looking for something called the Omnitrix, I want to shred the kid who has it in pieces. I met the one who has it, and his name is Ben Tennyson." Vilgax's fist tightened. "I heard you went to Earth and came back without Tennyson's watch. If you're as bad as they say you are, then you're just what I need to take him out, for good."

One of the many things Vilgax praised himself for and what many people disregarded, was his ability to keep his composure, even when he was ready to murder someone. Well, as long as his patience allowed him. And he felt his patience dropping at fast rate.

This abomination was the one who impersonated Ben, copied the Omnitrix's abilities, kept trying to annihilate his son on numerous occasions, had seemingly no intention in giving up that goal. At this point, the warlord was tempted to kill him on the spot. He had readied himself to face every alien Ben currently had available, including the ones he had gained after their first meeting.

But killing him now would be too kind, too easy, and there was a chance the Ectonurite DNA allowed that misshapen chaotic amalgam of creatures to escape. No, he wouldn't risk it, not yet. He would get even properly. If this child thought it was funny to make a mockery of Ben, Vilgax would show him one of his own tricks.

"It is true, I did leave the planet Earth without the Omnitrix. I do seek that power and I hold a grudge towards the Tennyson family." seethed Vilgax. Kevin seemed eager to start the team-up, he had no idea this would blow up in his face. "I've heard of you too, Kevin 11."

"It's Kevin Levin!" groaned Kevin. Not his fault his full name rhymed with the number eleven.

"It doesn't matter. You have the power of absorbing any type of energy and integrate it into your organism for a small amount of time. Your body is a pathetic mixture of ten different alien creatures from across the galaxy, all taken from the Omnitrix." he frowned. "The Omnitrix. If what I've heard is true, your DNA has merged with it just like Ben's. What do you know about the Omnitrix?"

"Thanks for the lesson, professor. Knowing why merge my fist with Ben's face!" Kevin was walking on thin ice. "If you need the watch thingy that turns Ben into those alien heroes, I know plenty."

Vilgax hummed. "I know exactly how to take care of you for the sake of this mission, and how to take care, of Ben." he beckoned the young mutant with a clawed hand. "Follow me."

Kevin grinned further, following the alien warlord inside his ship. The aliens behind were all cowering. What else did this crazy kid have in mind?!

The hybrid followed through the corridors of the ship. It did look pretty fancy from the inside, and Vilgax's 'toys' would be fun to reduce to pieces. Too bad he couldn't turn into that green gooish technological alien to take one with him. Might as well take the whole ship if he could.

"Not bad for a fish-face, where did you get all of this stuff?"

"If you knew more about my reputation, you would know I've gained all of my possessions through battling, conquering, showing my true power to others and building my empire myself. And from the looks of it, you know nothing."

"Hey, back off!" groaned Kevin. "Where are we even going?"

They arrived at some sort of arena, with tubes coming out from above. Suddenly, the ship wasn't stationed anymore, it started leaving the Megacruiser.

"Hey, what are you doing?! I thought we were gonna put an end to Tennyson! Answer!"

"Gladly!" snarled Vilgax, turning around. The robotic pieces on his arms glowed, his muscles swelling. "You're right, I want to put an end to Tennyson and his family. However," his red eyes were angrily glaring at Kevin, "I do not consider my son part of it!"

This was probably the best day of his life.

He did it, he actually got it!

He was now on a tree, cautiously waiting. Just a bit more... Closer...

"Ewwww! Ben!" complained Gwen, pushing her bowl of pudding away now that it was covered with Stinkfly's goo. "You've been Stinkfly for hours, give it a rest, dweeb!"

"No way!" giggled Stinkfly, flying over the picnic table. "Now that I can stay alien for as long as I want, it's time to cash in. Check out the green I made giving rides to tourists!" he said, dropping bills on the table.

"You know, I never thought I'd say this," she glared at him with Max behind, "but I'd rather see your normal jerky face for a change."

"Gwen's right, Ben." said Max. "Just because you can be an alien all the time doesn't mean you should be an alien all the time."

"Why not? Why not being an alien all the time?" pouted Stinkfly.

"Because this can attract a lot of unwanted attention, and we still don't know if there are any hidden consequences."

"I turned into an alien freak like Kevin a while ago, you turned into a larva, but that didn't stick forever. You're worried about nothing!" argued Stinkfly.

"Well, you can't say for sure it won't do you any harm. You can't stay an alien kid forever, Ben."

As soon as those words left his mouth, the bug alien landed silently on the ground, reverting to a human. However, the look on Ben's face meant business.

"How can you even say that?" Ben asked with some venom. "I am an alien kid, what proves otherwise?"

Max sighed. "Ben, it's not because you found the Omnitrix by accident that it makes you an alien. You're human and you belong with us, remember?"

"What difference does having the Omnitrix even make?! No, with or without the watch, I don't belong. You should know that, since you know a lot more about us than we do."

Gwen readied herself for the word fight that was about to ensue.

"I'm a kid on a road-trip across the country, I'm supposed to be having fun here! LET ME LIVE!"

"You think I just like to boss you around for fun?! You never listen to me!"

"Maybe I would've listened more if you didn't hide so much stuff to me, to us!"

"I did it to protect you, not to make your life boring! Stop pretending I'm trying to make your life harder for once!"

"Well it sure feels like it!"

"Maybe if you understood that I'm doing all of this to make things better, you wouldn't have to hear me complaining!"

"And maybe if you stopped thinking you made things better for once, you'd see how awful everything you did was! Family never leaves its members behind! Especially when it stays truthful, loyal and knows where it's at."

Something in Ben's words made Max step back. Gwen thought he'd crossed a line, and didn't expect Max to hesitate before answering.

"Ben..."

A flash of green, and Ben was XLR8, running away from them.

Max brought his hand to his face in frustration, getting a headache from all the arguing. This was bad, this was so bad.

It almost felt like Ben knew he took him away. Vilgaxia and working for Vilgax would've been a terrible fate for him, Max had no other choice, he couldn't leave Ben behind. And now, Ben was lashing back at him, and not even for that reason. Ben was mad at him for something he did, and while Max knew he should've been more honest, Ben wasn't that tolerating either. He didn't know the truth could break him...

No, he couldn't tell Ben, not now. Ben wasn't ready to know, not when he acted like this at least. Carl and Sandra would've told him before if they knew he was ready, and Max knew his son and daughter-in-law were responsible enough. When Ben was ready, Max could tell him. Now he just needed to deal with a sulky kid for the rest of the summer, with no hint Ben would forgive him any time soon.

"You know you two need to talk, Grandpa."

Max turned to Gwen.

"You've been tolerating each others for days, you can't stay in the same vehicle that long and keep pretending nothing happened forever."

"I know, Gwen. I know. I just don't know how."

Frowning, her grandfather left the picnic area, going back to the RV. Gwen felt like planting her face right in her plate (if it wasn't so disgusting).

Back when her mom decided to make her go camping with her cousin and grandfather, Gwen thought their time would consist of Max trying to reason with Ben, her trying to manage with her cousin's disgusting attitude, Ben causing arguments with her all summer along, getting them to live the worst summer ever. She didn't know what to think when Ben got the Omnitrix, aside from believing he would be even harder to manage, even if he could help it. But now...

She was at a loss. Ben was making a fuss with Max, about something serious. Max had trouble dealing with him, but because of something her grandfather did, not Ben. And Ben was complaining because he felt hurt, betrayed. Usually, Gwen would think Ben is taking things out of proportion again, but for once...

She felt she could sympathize with Ben about being upset. She too had some trouble accepting what her grandfather was hiding, even if Ben's way of doing it was exaggerated. He wasn't being too unreasonable about being angry, and since he had the Omnitrix on him, he was at the center of this mess, he had a right to be mad.

Sometimes, Gwen felt Ben was taking the "I don't feel like people care about me" act too far. Not as far as Kevin did, he hadn't done anything illegal on purpose (yet). Sure, he didn't have that many friends and acted like a freak, but did he think acting like that would get him more affection? Though she had to admit, learning their grandfather was a space cop AND having an alien watch fused with his arm was troubling. It just wasn't the impression you'd think Ben would get.

Ben really had changed over the course of summer. A month and a half has passed, and Ben wasn't the same snot bag he used to be. She wished he didn't change that way. It was good to know he was more aware of what was going on, but it would've been so much better if he at least didn't decide everyone on the planet was being ungrateful or targeting him.

It wasn't because he could be an alien that he had to act as if he was out of this world. It didn't matter what form he was or who he thought he was, he was still her cousin. She wasn't gonna let go of that fact even if he turned into something else or was a weirdo since day one, she still thought that doofus was family, snotty alien or not.

"Can you believe it?! Rngh!"

Skipping stones was a fun activity. It however wasn't what you'd usually expect to see with an alien. Using diamond bits. Coming out of rock hard skin.

"I keep calling him out, I make an effort to make him spit it out, and he acts like he hasn't done a thing and I'm being excessive! Rah!" Diamondhead complained, throwing a flurry of diamonds on the surface. Fishermen and tourists would get their pockets full when they'd find those.

"I'm tired of having to pretend he didn't do anything wrong, I'm done with him trying to follow his restrictions and stop myself from having fun, I'm so through with him acting as if he knew what was best for me!"

He heaved in anger.

"He most certainly doesn't know where your loyalty truly resides, young master." explained Kraab, making Diamondhead roll his eyes.

"If he knew, he'd let me be instead of trying to control me. I can't believe this is the same grandpa that taught me how to ride a bike and helped with all my stuff before." he sat down, frustrated with Max and himself.

It took him a few minutes as XLR8 to find where his guards were hidden, and they could talk in peace. They were impressed that he got Master Control, but he switched to let off steam soon after. The boy under their care was acting brash, impatient, intolerant and easily angered. He really was his father's son.

"Let's look at the bright side of things, young lord. You now possess the ability to turn into any species inside the Omnitrix the way you want, you have full control over it now. And certainly, that pesky old plumber had no credit in helping you achieve that goal."

"Yeah..." said Diamondhead, reverting to Ben. "You're right. Took a while, but now I can do whatever I want with the watch. Grandpa just told me to stop toying with it, but I gained something from doing it. He doesn't know what he's talking about."

Ben looked at the Omnitrix. He had total control over it, he could do whatever he wanted. Vilgax trusted him with it, Max had no say in whether or not he should still have it. For all Ben cared, this was his watch, and he deserved it for all the trouble he went through to keep it.

He just didn't know what to do with it now.

Keep making pocket money? Would attract too much attention at some point, especially if some people still remember Kevin's actions. Look for a hero thing to do? Ugh, who was he fooling, this place barely had any crime or saving to do, beside old people falling off their boats. Try to contact Vilgax? Sixsix had done it a while ago, and he got no answer.

"This is so boooooooooring." he laid down on the grass. "I got all the power I'd want on my wrist, and I don't even know what to do with it! No way I go back for tourism with Gwen and Grandpa Max now, I'm not done being mad at him." he pouted.

Sixsix let out weird noises again, that Kraab translated into "I suggest you practice with your new powers, young master."

"That sounds fun, but with what? You guys wanna spar?"

Both Bounty Hunters shook their heads. "We cannot do that. We were charged with protecting you." "Fighting you would be against your father's orders, even for training."

"Oh come on! I beat you two down last time, like you could cause me any harm. Just defend yourselves while I'm doing my thing."

"We are not allowed to do that, young lord. If we do, it'd be disobeying."

Ben groaned. "You're no fun! I could become any alien I want to defend myself, I could even do the stuff you do! Or wait..." he paused. "Kraab, you're an alien robot, right?"

"Um..." the cyborg hesitated. "Well, my species has fought the Pyronites in a past war, with a very few survivors. All that is left of my organic body is about 5% of it."

"Yikes!" Ben winced. "Sorry if I ever use Heatblast against you."

The cybernetic Piscciss Premann looked at Ben weirdly. Something told Ben the guy wasn't used to apologies or having someone give him some respect for the war.

"Wow, so I don't know how you looked before you became a robot." Ben realized. "But now, I could try to figure it out..."

Sixsix and Kraab looked at each other with obvious worry, even if they wore helmets. Ben looked at the dial and seemed to focus.

Suddenly, the Omnitrix's core popped up, and a new silhouette was showing.

"Let's try this one out!" Ben said, slamming the dial.

A flash of green, and he felt his skin harden, his left arm stretching and strengthening, his legs getting wider and stronger. A few seconds later, both hunters stared at the alien child before them.

Ben had turned into a non-robotic crab, with the same overall shape as Kraab had, but he didn't have metal everywhere on his body and was smaller in comparison. His shell was a dark green, his left arm's pincer was gigantic (though there was no blaster or sprayer inside), and he lacked the robotic circuits Kraab had. His eyes had a yellow sclera with green dots as his pupils, and his lips were jagged. The Omnitrix was now on top of his head, resting on a tough carapace.

"So, this is how you used to look like? Huh, kinda cool to be honest." said Ben, looking at his new pincer. "I'm gonna call this guy... Shell-Shock!"

"Um, my species does not naturally have energy powers..."

"I know, but I kinda heard it in history class, sounds wicked as an alien name. Come on, let's fight!"

"I do not believe I should do that, young master."

Shell-Shock sighed. He walked up to Kraab on his new legs, impressing the cyborg by the ease Ben found in walking with his new limbs. And impressing him even more when he seized him with his claw, and threw him over his shoulder.

Kraab didn't realize what Ben did until he was on the ground. Shell-Shock was ecstatic at his new form, clapping his pincer in eagerness. "I barely even touched you! This alien is awesome! Man, now I get how you could go fight even without your robot parts, you don't need to make much of an effort to defeat someone! And wow... that's why you're a hunter, you got super skills!"

If robots could blush of embarrassment, Kraab maybe would've. He hadn't seen one of his own in such a long time, especially one praising him...

"Okay, Sixsix, your turn! Hit me with what you got!" said Shell-Shock. The Sotoraggian shook his head no. "Oh please! I could become anything, like your little toys could hurt me."

Sixsix made grunts, trying to dissuade Ben. Shell-Shock pouted, upset he still was being refused what he wanted. Then, he had an idea.

He reverted back to Ben, and looked at the still green dial again, making the core pop up. "Hey, I don't even need to touch this thing." He closed his eyes, transforming by will.

It really felt amazing to be in control, have all that power all for him and no one to say otherwise.

The light faded out, and he found himself in armor. He wore a black armor similar to Sixsix's with white pads over it, though he didn't have his belt or any of the battling equipment the Sotoraggian possessed. His mask was black, with green lines making a hourglass shape on it, the Omnitrix in the middle of it.

"Sixsix, stay focused!" shouted Kraab. "We can't let the young master hurt himself."

But Sixsix wasn't listening, he didn't even budge as Ben's new form took one of his blasters away and started running around with it. He just stared at the kid, barely moving.

His partner took his arm and shook him several times to make him snap out of it.

"What are you doing?! He could get himself in trouble!" Sixsix growled back. "This is really not the time to think of your siblings! We got more important matters at hand!" More grunting. "Hey! That's not true, I was just taken aback by my species being inside the Omnitrix! You know it's almost impossible to find an intact member of my people nowadays!" Still arguing. "This is our employer's son, we can't get him to your little brother's birthday without getting in trouble either!"

They were interrupted by a purple blast coming between them. Ben was jumping around like an athlete and making backflips all over the place, shooting everything with the blaster gun he held, the noises he was making showed he was excited with having this new alien.

Sixsix made an affectionate grunt, remembering his siblings back home. He just had to show the young master's form to Eighteight and Sevenseven if they ever met again while he fulfilled his mission. A nudge from Kraab brought him back to reality.

They nodded at each other and, coming from each side, Kraab took a hold of the weapon Ben stole at the same time Sixsix grabbed the boy by his shoulders, picking him up above the ground.

Ben made several outraged noises as he was practically manhandled, trying to kick Sixsix and free himself from his grasp.

"I think it'd be better to stay put while we attempt to contact your father, young master. You aren't experienced with our forms yet, you could hurt yourself or someone else while running wild this way."

He could tell the boy was pouting behind the mask. Sixsix made a few grunts to Ben, attempting to soothe him down.

"I am not sure taking him to your species' drone assassination rite of passage would be of any help." Kraab said, receiving a glare from the Sotoraggian. Ben complained, wanting to keep practicing. "I am sorry, young master, but even I can't understand what you're saying."

'This is just like the Mega Mutts, they can't understand me because I don't speak alien and can't speak human with this body. Wait, I saw videos of animals talking on the internet, and not one of those cheap clickbaits I keep finding. Can I really not talk like this?'

Ben made gurgles and grunts trying to speak. The two men looked at him in confusion, until he sighed and pointed to the ground with a finger. With an apology, Sixsix put him down and bowed.

'Now for a name... Hmm, how about...'

"What is it that you're saying young master?" asked Kraab. "Um, Tenten? That does sound like a fitting name and a good choice for your Sotoraggian form. Um, what is he saying, Sixsix?"

Tenten jumped in place in impatience. Either he wouldn't use this form much, or he needed to learn how to speak alien. He started making signs. 'First thing I do when I become a one-man army? Play charades.'

"You? Saw? What, yourself? Oh, the name! You saw that name? In a book? A comedy spectacle? An opera!"

Tenten facepalmed, doing his best to make his gurgles sound like a word. Sixsix seemed to pick up on it. Though he seemed just as lost as his partner.

"What is an anime?"

Tenten stared at both men, reverting back to Ben.

"You guys really need to spend more time doing non-bodyguard stuff, I got a lot to show you and teach you about. Tenten is a girl from a show I watched, she's super agile and good at using weapons like Sixsix, and she's kinda cute. Don't mention the last part to anyone, I got a reputation to hold."

The Bounty Hunters were amused by Ben's slight blush on his face. He really was still a young child after all.

"Well, for the moment, it would be better to simply wait for your father Lord Vilgax to arrive. He will be delighted knowing all the power in the universe is now available to you."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it." Ben sighed. "Still sucks that I don't know what to turn into, beside those weird mushrooms that attacked me, or the Limax."

"The Limax are very vulnerable to water and cold, it would be unwise to use their form near these falls."

"You don't need to tell me, you know? I fought the Limax before and Niagara Falls are some of the most famous waterfalls in the world, not gonna risk it. At least Cannonbolt could make an amazing splash! Or I could swim down the falls as Ripjaws! Or I could-"

Ben's eyes widened. Of course! Why hadn't he thought of it sooner?! He focused on someone he knew, someone he had decided to trust and would follow unconditionally.

A silhouette appeared on the Omnitrix, one that he felt familiar with. He closed his eyes and pushed on the dial.

There was yet another flash of green, but Ben barely felt any difference. It was brief, but all he felt was his guts itching him a bit. He opened his eyes and looked at himself.

He didn't look taller, and he still saw his baggy jeans and black and white shirt. "Nothing changed? Really?"

He pouted. It was worth a shot at least. Maybe the Omnitrix couldn't take that form in or maybe it was glitching again, Ben had to ask his father when he'd see him again. He decided maybe a swim as Ripjaws would make him feel better, the water looked fresh and clean. He didn't notice how his guards were looking at him.

Deciding to get his mind off the recent failures, Ben brought his hand to the watch, still on his wrist, and turned the dial. With a green, sharp four-fingered hand and an arm that looked made out of tentacles.

"Woah!"

Ben looked at his hands more closely. His shirt was the same, but now his hands were green and wore black fingerless gloves, looking a lot similar to Vilgax's...

He looked under his cargo pants, pulling the fabric away from his legs. His sneakers had been replaced with plated shoes, fitting his feet who were shaped similarly to Four Arms'...

He decided he just couldn't keep looking at small details like that. He looked at the water nearby and went for a look. Sixsix and Kraab seemed wary, aware of what would happen if Ben stayed in the water too long. He however didn't plan to go for a swim yet.

He looked at the surface and finally saw himself. In his reflection, a young alien, resembling a squid, was looking back. He had bright green eyes, tentacles on his chin and small black lips, no device on his face whatsoever.

Ben's eyes widened. He... he did it... he was...

He became what his father was. He wasn't Vilgax's son only by title and claims, but also by looks. He wasn't a human anymore, and this wasn't like one of his alien forms.

Was this...

Was this who he really was underneath that human face?

"So, what do you think?" asked Max.

"These photos are good, but... even if he totally would've ruined them, I wish Ben was there to pose with us."

"Your cousin is gonna come back any moment now, Gwen."

"Are you sure?" she asked. "I hope he doesn't go too far or loses himself with all that alien stuff..."

SURPRISE!

Since we never got "meanie alien forms" beside the Anur aliens and allegedly Tetrax in OS, I decided to give Ben his guards' alien forms. When he's got aliens with him and Master Control is available, of course he's not gonna stay put and is absolutely gonna try become them.

Shell-Shock is something I came up with while watching MLB's S2 finale. It's a term that refers to the trauma of WWI, fitting how Kraab is a survivor of his species' war with the Pyronites and only came back of it with 5% of his body.

Tenten is an obvious one, but for the sake of comedy, I made Ben more of a weeb and an anime fan (as well as having an anime crush on Tenten from Naruto lol).

So, the Bounty Hunters actually do babysit Ben without him minding that much, Vilgax decides to teach his son's bully a lesson, and Gwen deals with more of her cousin and grandpa's family drama.

Let's see how things unravel now that they've started going forward...
