Chapter 1: Years later, Gungnir and the Emerald hero
Third Person POV
In the upper floor of the Sun flower shop an alarm clock started to buzz. A yawn was made by its occupant and he lazily pressed it to deactivate it. Sitting up straight Ben stretch his arms and groggily opened his eyes.
It's almost been two years since Ben arrived in this world. And he reminisced that it was rather busy two years.
(Diamondhead)
Two Years ago:
After he left the three girls at the ambulance that arrived at the concert hall, he immediately dashed off to an alleyway and turned back to his normal form.
Drained after all that transformation he took a moment to gather his wits and process on what happened. All he could safely assume was that he was in another dimension just like the time he went to Rex's world.
Still with little information he decided he needed to gather data and fast. Activating the omnitrix after it recharged, he transformed to his Ectonurite form called Ghostfreak, a phantom/ghost-like alien with a gaseous appearance and claw like hands. He has grey skin with black lines running all over him and had a large green eye and a black pupil. The omnitrix was placed at his chest.
Turning invisible he floated to the destination he had on mind he knew for sure had an internet access, the public library.
Arriving at his destination he made himself intangible and went through its wall. Luckily for him there were not that many people. Heading towards a computer console that had no people loitering about, he activated the omnitrix once more and turned to his Galvanic Mechamorph form he had called Upgrade. Upgrade has a black and green exterior and has green and black stripes that resemble circuitry all over him. The omnitrix was still placed at his chest.
Merging with the computer he was able to access the entirety of the internet with ease. Gathering all the history of this version of earth he found nothing to different from his own earth except for the Noise. He also found about Tsubasa and Kanade, who they are, there carrier and others stuff.
Now with thing calm he noticed how beautiful the two are. He blushed at his thoughts. Being one of Japans famous idols jus add more points for them. He had to admit no other girl in his universe can come close. He couldn't help it he was still a teenager, so it was normal.
Pushing his thoughts back he then absorbed the japans language and its writing so at the very lest he won't have trouble communicating with the locals. Gathering the rest he needs he released his merge with the computer and once again turned to Ghostfreak and left the place.
Floating to a roof top he Transformed back to his human form and processed everything. Without any massive difference from his own universe he better start planning on what he would do next.
He knew he can't fully relay on Paradox since he hadn't shown up yet, he thought he should start on gaining money if he was trap here. I
It was against his code on using his aliens on obtaining easy money but right now he can't be picky. Transforming into Diamondhead he started grow chunks of his crystals on his back and like extension of a limb he commanded them fall of the ground.
Deciding that it was enough for now, he turned to Ghostfreak and searched for any pawnshop in the area. Finding one, he went to a well secluded part of the street and turned back to normal and entered the shop.
After bartering the crystal for a rather large amount his next objective was lay low for a while since he was technically an illegal alien. He wondered around for a bit and sometime passing some stores and an academy called Lydian Private Music Academy and sometime later his stomach started to growl. Seeing that he needed to eat something he came across a place called Sun Flower. Finding no other option he entered the establishment.
Upon entering Ben was impressed on how well furbish the place was and he noticed most of the costumers were students from the academy. Taking an open seat he sat upon the chair and browsed the menu.
Then the owner of the store that called herself Boss lady came to Ben asked his order. She noticed the rather tired and troubled look Ben had and asked him what was wrong.
Ben was a bit surprised at the sudden question of a stranger but saw nothing wrong with so he explained that he was looking for a place to stay. Being the kind woman she was she offered Ben to stay in an extra room in the store and offered a job as a staff member for him here.
Ben was taken back at the generous offer. Ben didn't know why she did this but looking at here he knew she was being completely honest. Ben saw that she had no ulterior motive what so ever. Accepting her kind offer Boss lady squealed in delight saying she finally got another helping hand in the store.
Leaving the other details for later Boss lady offered the store famous dish, Okonomiyaki free of charge. Ben tried to refuse but Boss lady left no room for arguments. This was Bens first time sampling this kind of dish and he didn't not know what to expect from it.
Taking a bit, his taste buds exploded and almost moaned in delight. He even deemed it in par with chili fries which he thought was impossible. Eating the rest vigorously the Boss lady can only smile in delight, making Ben blush.
Now with Bens stomach full, Boss lady led Ben to his new room upstairs. Upon arriving Ben saw the room and saw it was rather spacious and a bit dusty and it already had some of the essential furniture. Boss lady instructed Ben that he can clean and furbish the room for the rest of the day and he would start working tomorrow.
Giving his thanks Boss lady returned downstairs to cater with the costumers.
Ben, who didn't really want to take too much time on cleaning, activated the omnitrix and turned to XLR8 and proceeded to clean the room in high speed. Within a few seconds the room was spotless. Deactivating his transformation Ben sat on the bed and thought of his next course of action.
Thanks to Boss lady he can now think on how he could help this world with the Noise. He admitted that he was rather in a bind. Since he was in another dimension he had limited access on Intel and information. Back in his own dimension he had the state of the art tech and information network thanks to the plumbers. He didn't have that luxury right now.
So he decided rest and wait for nightfall to avoid any by standards.
When night came Ben exited from the veranda and tuned to XLR8 and rushed to the city dump. He knew the money he had was for emergencies so his next option was to salvage what he needed.
Now at the dump site he quickly gathered what need and with his speed it would take roughly a bit more than a minute or two. He knew what kind of components he needed since his grandpa Max thought him some of the basics builds for many kind of equipment he would need in case he was stranded some were. Part of the training he had with in the plumbers.
Finishing his tasked he carried all and rushed back to the Sun flower.
Arriving back he placed them all on the table and activated the omnitrix and turned to his Cerebrocrustacean form he calls Brainstorm. It has a crab-like appearance. He has pincers for hands and four legs, a black loin cloth with a green stripe running across it on the bottom of his body. He has a black stripe in the center of his head with a green stripe in the center of it. The omnitrix was worn as a neck brace.
Brainstorm is one of Ben's most intelligent forms with hyper intellect compared to even the smartest humans and second only to the most intelligent species in the Milky Way galaxy the Galven.
With it he was able to make a device that was able to intercept any form of signal or communication. Linking it with the omnitrix he programmed the device to alert him of any reports on Noise attacks as it main priority and any other reports as it second priority.
Since it was late and that he had to wake up early in the morning for his new job he layed to bed and almost immediately he fell asleep.
The few days had past and Ben was already getting the hang in his new job. It mostly consists of buying the stores ingredients which Ben debated on making a set of wheels for him to use. Cleaning and mopping the floor and washing dishes and taking orders from costumers which almost all the time consist of the girls from the academy. And for some reason Ben couldn't understand why they were blushing stuttering and giggling every time he came to take their order and sometimes he could get a glimpse of them looking at him weirdly and sighing in satisfaction. And Boss lady smirks at him every time that happens. He will never understand girls.
He also found out that Kanade was in a coma and that she would retire from her carrier. Ben felt a bit guilty. He kept telling himself that it was alright. That he managed to save her life, but that guilt still persisted in side of him.
He sighed; being the hero is hard sometimes. He kept his mind occupied with his work and with other concerns. Like with the Noise.
He was troubled since not once did they appeared after that incident. He knew he should be thankful for it but he still had this feeling of agitation, it's not like they were being controlled or something. He questioned why he tempted the universe for some reason.
That same moment his omnitrix started to beep, alerting him that it intercepted a signal. Activating it and saw what emergency it was. It read a Noise attack has been reported a few miles on where he was.
He greeted his teeth and immediately stopped on what he was doing. The Boss lady was startled and asked Ben what was wrong. He said that it was an emergency and that he would be back. She saw the urgency and fear in his eyes. She didn't know what he being troubled at but at the very least she knew it was not something small that he could ignore. Giving a silent node of understanding he dashed off to the back of the store out of prying eyes.
Activating the omnitrix's selection screen he cycled through the playlist and selected XLR8. Once the transformation ended he wasted no time and dashed to where the report said the Noise appeared.
Reaching his destination he saw the destruction the Noise left and the masses of people were running away in panic. It didn't help that his alien form stopped some of them and fall to the floor.
He then saw a small boy that tripped and the mother run back to help him up. The Noise was not far and they were only inches from them. The two could only stare in fear. The mother held her son in the attempt to shield him from them even though she knew it won't make a difference. She waited for their end that would never come.
In a fraction of a second Ben was in front of the mother and child and he had already shredded the Noise with his sharp claw like hands. Both of them were stunned at the sight of Ben in his XLR8 form. Ben turned to them and grabbed them both before moving them to safety.
Setting them gently on the ground the two were at a daze on what had transpired. Ben told them to run to safety before dashing off back to the Noise.
Ben knew he needed to deal with the Noise as quickly as possible. So he started to spin at an amazing speed that looked like he was black and blue blur. This had caused a massive twister that all the Noise where being sucked in to it.
Within the twister the Noise could not do anything while they where shredded to pieces and dissolving to nothing. When the last of the Noise disintegrated, Ben ceased and letting the twister disperse.
He then heard the sound of applause. He turned and saw the remaining people clapping and cheering. Usually Ben would bask on the cheers and praise, but right now he couldn't enjoy this.
He saw some amount of ashes after arriving here people had died before he arrived. Now the guilt he felt earlier came back in force. He couldn't handle this now. He dashed off back to the Sun flower leaving the people a bit shocked and confused.
Arriving back and turning to his normal form, Ben sighed, he had to admit he rarely sighed back in his own home. But he guessed this universe was stressing him out more. He knew that he won't be able to save everyone, he knew even if he rarely ever faces this dilemma. But still it would take time getting use to it.
He walked back inside the Sun flower and saw Boss lady waiting for him with a friendly smile almost like she knew he was depress. He gave her a similar but weak smile and proceeded back to his work.
Entering the dining area his attention was drawn to a group of girls who were celebrating something. His sights then turned to one of the girls. His eyes widened because he knew this girl. She was the one he saved during the incident in the stadium.

Present day:
Rubbing his head to shake off from his reminiscing thoughts he continued to finish his preparation for today's work. Changing back to be casual clothes he went down and found Boss lady waiting for him.
"Good morning Ben-kun." She greeted our alien hero with a kind smile. Ben returned her smile with his own. "Good morning to you too Boss."
"Ben-kun could you please buy some ingredients we need for the smoothes in the market. Here is the money and the list." She handed him a piece of paper and some yen bills. "Are they out already, man these girls really love the smoothes I made.
Of course Ben knew they would be popular he based all of the recipes from Mr. Smoothes. He introduced the said drink when Boss lady asked Ben if he had any idea for a new drink and he wasted no time and told her of his most favorite drink. "I'll be back in half an hour."
Boss lady gave him node and he left the building to the shed he made in the back. Opening it there was a muscle car similar to Kevin's own. Its entire body color was green similar to Bens omnitrix green and two black stripes runs across it's from its trunk up to its hood.
Ben smiled remembering his folks back home. He had manage to build this with some of the money he had earned, buying pieces of it from the local junk yard and using his brain aliens to assemble it himself. It wasn't as advance as Kevin's since he didn't have access to any alien tech but it gets the job done.
Getting in and starting the engine he drove off to the local market place to buy the remaining ingredients. While driving Ben had noticed he had gotten used on living on this alternate earth. He gotten used to this routine spending the day in the Sun flower hanging out with Hibiki and Miku and saving the day and people from the occasional Noise attacks.
While thinking about the Noise he recalled the encounters of his with the 2nd division and with Tsubasa. He frowned at the thought the blue headed girl. Ever since his encounter with her in the battle field she would always give him death glares and he noticed that she was struggling to lash out at him.
He wanted to find out but he couldn't get any opportunity to do so since every time the fight would swarms of the agents from the 2nd division would try to surround him. He didn't want to deal with this world government knowing full well if they try to get the omnitrix from him it would be certain they would end up destroying this world. So he either used XLR8 to escape or Big Chill to go intangible. He smirked at remembering their faces when he did that.
He stopped his thoughts when he noticed a girl was stuck on a tree. He sighed and knew who it was. He stopped at a curve and went out walking towards and as he expected Hibiki was stuck on a tree with a small kitten on her arm.
He sighed since this was actually a routine for him, "Hey Hibiki stuck again huh?" he said gaining the attention of the slightly frightened girl.
"Oh hey Ben-kun uh I can explain." She said to him with a nervous smile and tone. He just smiled knowing she was just trying to help the small creature. He stretched out his arms ready to catch her.
"Come on I'll catch you like always." Hibiki did so and she slowly edged herself and fell to his arms. With a light grunt from Ben he gently helps Hibiki to her feet.
"You alright Hibiki?" Ben asked which caused Hibiki to blush.
"Yah I'm fine, thanks for always helping me out Ben-kun." Ben always admired he cheerfulness, even what she been through since the incident 2 years ago and the aftermath of it she would always smile like there no problem at all. He admired that about here.
"I think you better let go the kitten Hibiki. I think it wants to go home now." She then remembered she was still holding the furry creature, gently setting the kitten down. It started at them both for a while before it meowed and ran off.
"And also Hibiki." Ben said gaining the attention of the airheaded girl. "I think your running late again." Hibiki gasped and checked her watch and as Ben had said it was 10 minutes until the bell.
She turned to Ben and tears were waiting to fall. "Ben-kun what should I do…"
He sighed this was REALLY becoming routine for him. He even thought of just picking here up from her home and drive her to school every day.
"Come on Hibiki, I'll give you a lift. If we hurry we might make it in time." In almost an instant Hibiki's face lights up with joy and sparkles were in her eyes.
"OH THANKS SOOO MUCH BEN-KUN!" Ben could only sigh in amusement at her antics. Both went to his car and Ben drove off in a hurry, hoping they could reach Lydian Private Music Academy before the gates would close.
Arriving exactly on time Ben and Hibiki thought she was scout free. But to Hibiki's dismay, her teacher was already in front of the gate with an irritated expression on her face.
"Tachibana I hope you have a good explanation on why you are late?" Her tone was heard with venom and her brow was visibly twitching.
Hibiki could only nervously laugh not knowing what to say to her.
So to save her from a harsh punishment, Ben stepped in and made an excuse for her. "Sorry I was the one who made Hibiki late again. She was helping out with my shopping and we just lost track of time. So could you let Hibiki off the hook again?" He pleaded acting sincere to sugar coat his lie.
She only gave Ben a board stare making Ben seat a bit from it. She sighed while rubbing her forehead. "Really Tennyson-san, do you think I'll believe that kind excuse? Knowing what kind of girl Tachibana is?!" She further emphasizes her reason with pointing her finger towards Hibiki making the poor girl flinch.
Bens smile was beginning to cramp getting her point. She sighed again before talking. "Very well I'll let her go with a warning." She turned her sharp gaze to Hibiki. "But THIS will be the last time I'll give any leeway Tachibana."
Hibiki could only node with a stiff face. "Now go to class." She finished.
"Yes sensei! See you later Ben-kun." She waved at Ben before dashing off to class.
"I don't know how you deal with her Tennyson-san but thank you for always looking out for her." She said while turning to Ben and giving him a grateful smile.
Ben returned the gesture. He knew under that strict attitude he knew she cared for Hibiki as well. "No problem, I'll always look out for her. Well better get going still have a lot of stuff to do."He said his good bye and went to his car and drove off.

2nd division HQ:
Hours later in the 2nd division medical section, Tsubasa was watching over Kanade's unconscious form behind a glass window. Tsubasa looked at her with a pained expression, everyday losing hope that her best friend will never wake again.
Ever since that day Tsubasa had suppress her emotion and became an emotionless blade that would do anything to finish her mission. She also understood why everyone else is trying to change her back, but to her it was impossible. Not as long as Kanade remains in a coma.
"Kanade…when will you wake up? We need you, I need you." she wishpered in a desperate tone. "If only… if only he!" she was interrupted by a sudden call from the base intercoms.
"Tsubasa Kazanari, head to the control room immediately, I repeat report to the control room immediately." She didn't waste any time and bottled up her emotion and proceeded to her designated location.
Arriving at the control room Tsubasa was met with various operatives.
The first was a man named was Tsubasa's Manager Shinji Ogawa. He has short brown hair and eyes. He is wearing a black suit with a black tie and white collared shirt.
The next person is a woman who is part of the Mobile Disaster Response Corps named Aoi Tomosato. She has dark blue hair with purple eyes. She wears a blue jacket with a blue dress and black tights and shoes; she looks around her late 20s.
The next person is a man who is also part of Mobile Disaster Response Corps named Sakuya Fujitaka. He has leaf-green hair and eyes and he is wearing a blue suit with light blue tie and pale green shirt.
The next person is the head scientist of the Mobile Disaster Response Corps and the creator of the Sakurai Theory, Ryoko Sakurai. Ryoko is a tall woman with long hime-cut brown hair done up into a beehive shaped dome with a purple butterfly clip on the left side. She has purple eyes and wears glasses with red frames with yellow tinted lens. Her main outfit is a long white lab coat worn over a short, loose pink dress with coral trim, purple frills in the neck, and a purple cloth belt. She wears open-top pink shoes with slight heels and X-shaped straps.
The last occupant is the commander of Special Disaster Response Team Section Two and the uncle of Tsubasa, Genjuro Kazanari. Genjuro is a tall and muscular man with gold eyes, spiky red hair, and a goatee. He is most often seen wearing a red dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a pink tie with its end tucked into the left breast pocket of his shirt, light beige slacks and black and blue athletic shoes.
"What is the emergency commander?" Tsubasa said with an urgent tone. Genjuro looked at Tsubasa before explaining what happened.
"There is a report of an armed robbery, were monitoring it now." He calmly said but Tsubasa was giving a look of confusion.
In her mind she wondered why the commander is bothering with something like a robbery. They were only supposed to be worrying about any Noise attack, so what was so important about a petty robbery? Then it hit her.
"Its Ben 10 isn't it?" she said in realization and was further confirmed by Genjuro.
"Yes he's already in the scene." Genjuro gestured to the large monitor at the center of the room. As he said Ben was already in pursue. The form he had taken was his Necrofriggian alter ego Big Chill. Big Chill s a humanoid, moth-like alien whose four wings and antenna can fold up into a hooded robe (much akin to a poncho), giving him the appearance of a phantom. He has a black body with cyan patches on his arms, shoulders, legs, the back of his wings, and the back of his neck that resemble ice chunks. On his face are blue cheeks and under jaw, a mouth that always shows bluish white teeth, and large green eyes with dark green spots. He has three pointed fingers and a thumb on each hand, and two toes on each foot and a third toe-like extension on his ankles. Big Chill wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
Tsubasa narrowed her eyes at Big Chills form. It was this very form which made Ben impossible for them to capture. At first Ben would use XLR8 to out run the 2nd division before they could even get near him; even with Tsubasa was not able to subdue him with his kind of speed.
When they finally manage to surround him and try to detain him for some answers he turned to Big Chill and went intangible, shocking every one. Just as would seem they had finally had him he had another trick at his sleeve.
Continuing to watch the video Ben already froze half of the armored truck that caused the driver to lose control and crash into a wall. The robbers exited the vehicle and ran in order to escape from the alien hero.
Then Ben tapped his omnitrix and turned to a new form. His Thep Khufan he had dubbed Snare-oh. Snare-oh shared a striking resemble to an Egyptian mummy. His eyes, and the gaps between his bandages, glow green. He has a black and gold pharaoh's head-dress. Snare-oh also has black bracers and greaves and wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
"Oh yet another new form!" Ryoko gushed out, excitement evident in her voice.
"How many forms does this guy have?" Sakuya said. Still baffled on how many transformation they had seen Ben had.
"With the current count that mummy of his makes seventeen." Aoi continued.
In the monitor Ben sprouted tendrils of his bandages from his back and directed all of them to the escaping robbers. Now capturing them he drags all of the struggling robbers to his location and adding more bandages to effectively immobilize them.
Now the job done Ben waited until the police was nearing them before using his bandages to swing away from the sight just like a spider themed super hero from another universe.
After that the Monitor died down and a few second of silence entered the room.
"Commander what should we do? We tried nearly everything to gain contact or to capture Ben 10. If this goes on any further the Higher ups will take more drastic measures." Sakuya gave the grim news.
Everyone knew how desperate the government is. Ever since they found out of him and his shape shifting powers, the higher ups kept pressuring them to gain such power. With such power at their disposal the Noise will be a minor problem. But they all knew what they really wanted with it.
"Have any thoughts Ryoko?" Genjuro asked the woman scientist. As one if not the most intelligent person in the planet surely she had an idea.
But to his disappointment she only gave an apologetic look.
"Nothing new I'm afraid. All I can give are assumptions. He could be an alien super hero from another dimension who saved the universe a couple of times." Why did everyone fell the almighty universe just praised her deduction.
"Truly I don't know. All we could gather from our encounter from him is that he is male if his voice is any indication; he has transformations with powers that vary from super strength, regeneration, flight, invisibility, intangibility and power over the very elements like they were toys. And each time he transforms he uses a huge amount of energy comparable to the sun out put a billion times over. And they are all connected to that strange hour glass symbol on his chest. And at the very least he isn't a foe if his actions speak for about him."
Even the world best mind can't come up with anything. All they could hope that in time Ben would willingly come with them.
But to Tsubasa she was busy with her own thoughts.
"All that power… With all the power he has! He called himself a hero! Then why… why didn't he save Kanade!"
Unbeknownst to Tsubasa her uncle was looking at her with narrowed and worried eyes, while Ryoko looked at her with amusement.

Sun Flower:
Once again arriving in the back of the Sun flower, Ben arrived still as Snare-oh deactivated his omnitrix and reverted back to Ben. He stretched a bit before going inside the store.
Now at the dining area of the shop he was greeted by Boss lady. "Oh Ben-san your back." She said sounding a bit relived.
"Yah, sorry for taking so long, I'll get straight back to…" He wasn't able to finish when Boss lady held her hand in front in a stopping gesture.
"No Ben-san you look tired and I want you to take a break for now." Ben blinked before speaking.
"But I can't just…" again he was stopped by Boss lady.
"No that's an order and besides." She gestured at a pair who was sitting on one of the tables. "I think someone might need some support." She said while pointing her thumb at the pair of girls.
He turned his gaze at were Boss lady was pointing and saw Hibiki who was mopping in a depressed state while her best friend Miku Kohinata, Hibiki was trying her best to cheer the poor girl up. Miku who has green eyes and shoulder length black hair with a white bow tied around the back of her head, keeping part of her hair away from her face in a half-up do.
Ben then walked his way to the two, a bit worried on why Hibiki was so depressed.
"Hey Miku, hey Hibiki what's the matter?" he asked, Hibiki was still sobbing pretending she didn't hear Ben and for Miku, glared at Ben for a second before giving him a friendly smile.
Ben couldn't understand why Miku always does that. He knows that she doesn't hate him or anything. It's a complete mystery to him.
"Oh hello Ben-san, it's just nothing. Hibiki's just depressed because she embarrassed herself in front of Tsubasa-sempai." Miku explained causing Hibiki to sob a bit louder. "Come on Hibiki come on it wasn't that bad." She continued to cheer Hibiki up.
"Yah you shouldn't let something like that get to you." Ben said his piece which caused Hibiki to look at Ben.
"But I bet you didn't embarrass yourself in front of your idol with a piece of rice stuck on your face Ben-kun." She said with a pouty expression and watery eyes.
"Well yah I didn't but!" he said recalling his first encounter with his used to be hero Captain Nemesis now named Overlord. But that was not the right answer because now Hibiki went back to sobbing. "Nice job Tennyson. REALLY nice job."
Miku in response gave Ben a dead pan look, silently saying "This is your fault. FIX THIS."
Ben began to sweat a bit, trying to think how to defuse the situation. "Hey that reminds me Tsubasa's new album is out right now right!" he said what came first to his mind. In truth Ben was secretly a fan of her singing. Ever since he had first listened to one of her songs, courtesy and insistence of Hibiki he got hooked. He admits every time he encountered her he suppressed the urge to ask for her autograph.
At that moment Hibiki stopped her sobbing and shot up from her sheet. Just realizing what today was. "OH NO I FORGOT!" she cried out. "Sorry Miku I need to go before they sold out. Thanks for reminding me Ben-kun." Then she dashed off out of the store leaving both Ben and Miku sighing at her usual energetic self.
"She's really a handful." Ben said in exasperation while Miku nodded in agreement.
Miku then notice something on the table. "Oh no…"
"What is it?" Ben responded to Miku's sudden distress. He looked at where she was staring at and found Hibiki's wallet. "Really what are we going to do with her?"
(Diamondhead)
A few minutes later Hibiki was already in the shopping district heading towards the store. She was humming to herself until she notices something was wrong. There were no people in the area, it was silent like ghost town or the place was attacked by. "The Noise?"
Just as she guessed she looked around and saw ashes littered the roads. She panicked a bit inside. "I have to get out of here!" she was about to dash away but stopped until she heard some crying. She looked for the source and found a small little girl crying in the middle of the streets.
She couldn't leave the girl alone, someone like her couldn't. If it was Ben he would have saved her as well. If she didn't she would never forgive herself, Kanade who will be disappointed with her…Ben will be disappointed with her.
"Hey are you alright!" she ran to the girl and slowly helped her up to her feet. "What happened?" she asked. The little girl tried to answer in between her sobs.
"The Noise…they suddenly appeared and attacked everyone. My Papa…he told me to run and said that he well catch up… but he didn't…" she continued to cry.
Hibiki didn't need to ask any more. It was obvious what happened to the girl's father.
"Listen, I won't let anything happen to you ok. So don't be scared anymore." This made the girl sob stopped and look straight at Hibiki she gave a node and held back from crying.
Hibiki smiled but looked over to her side and saw shadows growing bigger and Noise came to full view. The little gasped holding on to Hibiki. Hibiki greeted her teeth and thought on what to do. She suddenly carried the girl and started to run to the opposite direction. The Noise gave chase.
Hibiki continued to run still holding the girl in her arms. "Where's the shelters?!" She needed to get the girl to safety. She turned her head back and saw the Noise still chasing after them. He cursed under her breath. This thing just won't give up.
Hibiki turned to an ally way and saw what appears to be an abandoned factory. No were else to go she brought the girl inside and settled he down. Hibiki breathed heavily due to exhaustion. "We should be safe here."
But fate was cruel. Hibiki heard footsteps and slowly turned and saw the Noise were already here, the small girl held on to Hibiki for dear life, scared out of mind.
"Are we going to die Onee-chan?" The girl quietly asked and that question froze Hibiki in place.
She turned to the small girl, her eyes full on determination and conviction. "No we won't. I won't let that happen. You can't give up your life, no matter what you have to continue to live! I almost gave up back then but…"
Remembering the ordeals she had to face after she survived the Noise attack. She at one point wanted to give up on life. But she didn't because… her hero saved her. The boy, who didn't have any connection to her, went out of his way to help her get back up. "…he saved me. So don't say that. You still have your whole life ahead of, so much more to see. So don't think we're going to die. No matter what…"
Hibiki briefly thought of the fiery hero who saved her at the stadium and Ben who supported her. "You have to live!"
Then something inside Hibiki's heart, where the fragment of Gungnir was suddenly started to glow and a blinding light shot up from Hibiki's chest.

2Nd division HQ:
Within the control room of the 2nd division the monitors suddenly light up startling everyone in the room.
"Whats going on!?" Genjuro demanded, a bit startled on the sudden alarm.
"We don't know sir, but we are comparing this energy to our database!" Aoi cried out trying to assess the situation.
"Could this be an Aufwachenschlagen!?" Ryoko gave her piece.
"We identified the energy sir!" Sakuya said and gasped on what it showed. On the monitor it said only one thing.
Gungnir
"Impossible Gungnir!" Genjuro exclaimed, unable to speak seeing the impossible.
Hearing what her uncle said, Tsubasa eyes widened in shock. "It can't be it was destroyed." She said quietly and she started to move to the door until she was stopped by her uncle.
"Tsubasa where are you going!" he said Tsubasa didn't stop on leaving but answered.
"I'm going to check it out commander!" then left without saying anything else. He sighed knowing he couldn't do anything to stop her. He turned back to the monitor waiting for anything new to show up.

Abandoned warehouse:
Third Person POV
Hibiki doubled over in pain from the sudden burst of light. Then a menagerie of machines emerges from her back. "AHHHH!" she screamed in pain. The light engulfs her and quickly died down revealing on what happened to Hibiki.
She was now donned with an orange and white battle suit that left her stomach open. She now sported a pair of black metal boots, white and orange gauntlets and a pair of black and white headphones.
"What is happening to me?!" Hibiki cried out still daze at her transformation.
"Onee-chan you look so cool!" the small child said in admiration.
"Yosh, don't be afraid anymore. Onee-chan will deal with them now!" Hibiki declared while bumping her fist together.

Hibiki began to sing while high jumping and outstretched her arm slamming it on the ground where the Noise were. The ground cracked from the force of her punch causing the Noise to be blown away.
She then charged to another group of Noise and punched widely effectively crowd controlling the enemy. The Noise that was directly receiving her punches exploded and disintegrated to nothing. This process continued on, Hibiki showing no sign of tiring or stopping.
Slowly the number of the Noise dwindled and it would seem they would leave this place alright. But once again fate was a cruel mistress. The remaining Noise suddenly deformed and in a manner that they melted and merged in to clomps. The clomps suddenly expanded in size and grew in height. It formed to a humanoid being around fifteen to seventeen meter. It was mainly green.
Hibiki was stunned and wasn't able to react in time and was easily swatted her to a concrete wall. The impact did a number on Hibiki and she could barely stand.
The Noise then ignored her and sets its sights to the little girl. It leisurely walked towards the child. The poor girl could only stare in fear.
"No stay away from her!" Hibiki cried out still struggling to get on her feet. But the girl was frozen in fear, she couldn't move an inch. The massive Noise hand slowly crept to the child it was a matter of time until she would die. But that would never be.
A blur came to the girl and in a fraction of a second she was gone from the Noises reach and was now near Hibiki being held by XLR8 in a gentle embrace.
"Wow…" was all the little girl could say, amazed at her savior.
A flash of emerald came from the being and Ben stood there leaving Hibiki, who was already on her feet completely flabbergasted.
"B-Ben?!" He turned to Hibiki with a relived smile.
"Yoh Hibiki glad you're alright… What are you wearing?" He nervously asked, a deep crimson blush forming while staring at Hibiki's current attire.
"Heh?" she looked at her clothing before realizing how reviling it was. A similar shade of crimson formed on Hibiki face. "Kyahh!" she cried out while skating down and using her arms to cover her chest. "Ben, don't look!" she continued, tears forming on the edge of her eyes.
"Sorry! Wait this isn't the time!" Ben argued while keeping his gaze away from Hibiki. "I need to beat that Noise before he destroy anything else."
He sets the girl gently on her feet and spoke in a calming tone. "Whats your name little girl?"
The girl stared for a while before shyly answering. "Hi-Hikari."
"Hikari… meaning light huh, that's a pretty name." he said with a wink making the small girl blush. While unbeknownst to them Ben was giving a dry look and her eyes were dead like a fish.
"Hikari I need you t do something for me. I want you to keep an eye on Hibiki for me okay?" The girl was unsure but nodded none the less. But Hibiki voiced her concern.
"What are you saying Ben you have to run and…" She wasn't able to finish when Ben stopped her.
"Hibiki you've done great so far. Rest for now and let me handle this." He walked forward facing the Noise without fear; his back was facing both Hibiki and the Hikari like a shield. For some reason Hibiki felt see had seen this before.
"Because…" he said while activating the selection screen of the omnitrix and activating it. The blinding emerald light came and turned Ben to his Pyronite form, Heatblast.
Hikari stared in amazement while Hibiki realized who Ben was. He was the one who saved her that day. "Ben… your!"
"Its hero time!"
Chapter End
(Diamondhead)
AN:
And I was able to finish it before what I anticipated. So her is chapter two guys hoped you liked it.
Now I want clear some question(s) left by the Guest reviewers.
*Is the Noise considered an OC alien?
Technically no since the Noise exist within the universe of the crossovers it does not count as an OC. But there are problems in which Ben can't have a Noise form. One is the alien must be a sentient being to be categorized in the omnitrix. Since the Noise are more like automatons or wild animals the omnitrix can't recognize it as a sentient life form.
Second does Noise have DNA? Physically they appeared to be made of energy and therefore can't have DNA.
*Will there be any aliens from the reboot?
…I'll just pretend the reboot doesn't exist.
Also check in my profile for the other Ben or wielders of the omnitris in my omniverse to know who they are.
So that's it for now and once again I can't promise a solid release schedule to my time constraints in work and Warframe… mostly Warframe. This is berserkerzero7 signing off.
