Simple

I don't own Digimon or Ben 10

Gwen was drinking a smoothie along with Kevin and Ben who were both wearing ID masks to hide their mutation. "Ship, Ship, Ship, Ship," Ship chirped jumping up and down beside Daisuke.

"Down boy," she said with a smile before she saw her team and she ran up to them. "There you guys are, I've been looking for you all morning," she told them.

"We know. We got the fifty messages," Gwen told her.

"It wasn't fifty," Daisuke replied.

"No. It was fifty each," Ben said.

"Anyway, I need you guys for a mission, it's off planet," Daisuke explained.

"I have taekwondo practice tonight Dai, sorry," Gwen said.

"Ben? Kevin?" Daisuke asked.

"Yeah. No," Kevin answered and Ben nodded agreeing with Kevin.

"Seriously?" Daisuke asked them.

"We love helping out Daisuke, but we have lives. Why don't you just take Veemon with you," Gwen suggested.

"He's gone to Japan for the week to visit Gatomon, so that option is unavailable. And you can say no to me, but you can't say no to this," Daisuke said as she pulled out a holo-viewer and the image of a young girl in blue appeared. "I found this in my room this morning," she told the others.

"Dear Miss Dai Ten, my name is Probity. My mom and dad told me all about how you saved the universe from the Highbreed," the girl said.

"So you get fan mail. Big whoop," Kevin told her.

"Shush. You'll miss the important part," Daisuke replied.

"I hate war. Do you hate war? Because if you do I wanted to know if you could come here and stop everyone from fighting, anyway even if you can't I still think you're great, thank you," the girl said before the message ended.

"So, there you go," Daisuke said.

"There you go what?" Gwen asked.

"Don't you get it? She wants us to go to another planet and end their war," Kevin answered.

"No, she can't mean...you don't mean?" Gwen asked Daisuke who nodded.

"Yup," she said.

"Not that I am considering it, but how are you going to stop a war?" Ben asked her.

"Simple," she answered him and soon Ship was in his spaceship form and flying through space.

"I can't believe we're doing this. Everyone hates war, but no one does anything about it," Kevin said.

"That's because there has been no one like me before," Daisuke said.

"Oh right. The great Dai Ten is going to stop a war in a weekend," Kevin said.

"It's a three day weekend," Daisuke replied.

"I like that Dai cares enough to want to come all the way out here to help, you could use a little of that yourself Kevin," Gwen told him.

"War is like eating or sleeping Gwen. Its part of human nature," Kevin said.

"That's where you're wrong," Ben said.

"I think I know a little more about human nature then you do," Kevin told him.

"But these aren't humans, they're aliens. So..." Ben said before poking his tongue out at Kevin.

"Really?" Daisuke asked him as a beep was heard.

"We're coming up on the planet," Gwen said.

"Is that a big dotted line coming across that planet?" Daisuke asked as Ship neared the planet.

"Yep," Kevin answered and sure enough a big dotted line was appearing across the planet.

"That calls for a closer look," Gwen said.

"Ship, down boy," Daisuke said.

"SHIP, SHIP!" Ship replied as he flew down and the gang saw a large ship dropping stones making the line.

"That explains where the fence came from, but what's it..." Ben was cut off as anti-air artillery began to fire at them and Ship took evasive action.

"Why are they shooting us!?" Daisuke asked as Ship rocked from an impact.

"Duh," Kevin answered.

"Translation: the fence must be some kind of borderline and they think we're the enemy," Gwen said as Ship spun through the air.

"SHIP," he said.

"Good boy. No shooting," Daisuke said.

"What!?" Kevin asked her.

"SHIP!" Ship shouted as he descended and flew at a very fast speed avoiding the flak.

"Okay. I vote for we turn around and go home. Gwen can still make karate practice and I don't need to get shot at as a bonus," Kevin said.

"Except we'd be throwing away a little girl's chance for a world without war," Ben told him.

"Life's full of disappointments. What is she five? It's past time she learned," Kevin said as Ship flew over to the other side of the fence and was now being shot at from the other army.

"Ship find a place to land. I'll distract them," Daisuke said as she opened the door and she was enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned into Jetray who then flew out of Ship down towards the red coloured army. "Hold it. Hold it!" she shouted as she landed on one of the guns. "Have any of you heard of..." she said before being enveloped in a gold flash of light and she turned back to Daisuke. "Dai Ten?" she asked and the soldiers gasped.

"It's her. It's really her," one soldier said quietly.

"That's right Dai Ten and I am here to tell you to stop this war," Daisuke said making the soldiers look at her. "War is pointless. It accomplishes nothing, and ruins lives," she said as some soldiers parted to reveal a general in red with a monocle.

"Get her," the general ordered.

"Uh...guys?" she asked as the soldiers aimed their weapons at her. "Okay, if it's a fight you want. Then it's a fight you'll get," she said as she was enveloped in a gold light and she transformed into a new alien. This alien had a magnetically floating metal head which levitated in an arch between her shoulders, she had crab like claws for her hands and her body was mainly black with yellow feet, hands, shoulders and chest and her eyes were ice blue. "Lodestar!" she shouted. "A new alien? Not the best time to turn into one," she said as the soldiers began to fire at her and she stumbled as she was hit. "Cut it out!" she shouted holding one of her claws out and a wave emanated from it and all the soldiers weapons were pulled towards her and they began to stick to her body. "Cool, magnetic powers," she said as the soldiers approached her and she pushed all the weapons away from her and the soldiers. "As I was saying," Ship then landed and Ben, Kevin and Gwen walked out and Ship turned back to normal.

"A new alien?" Gwen asked.

"Who is keeping track?" Kevin asked.

"And you have got to sit down with your enemies and talk to them. They are just like you," Lodestar told them.

"What's this?" Ben asked as he bent down and picked up an alien device in his Swampfire hand as Gwen walked towards Lodestar and the soldiers.

"A regenerating power pack," Kevin said impressed as both he and Ben saw crates filled with weapons and they ran towards the stockpile and Kevin grabbed one before someone else grabbed it too.

"Hey! Finders keepers get your own-Kevin long time no see did you cut your hair?" Argit asked him once he saw who it was.

"No," Kevin answered.

"I was just going to call you. I'll have that money I owe you real soon," Argit said nervously.

"Sure you will. What are you up to?" Kevin asked.

"Nothing," Argit answered as Ben picked him up off the ground.

"Spill it Argit. What's the scam?" he asked as his Diamondhead arm turned into a sword

"I was going to cut you in Kevin. Honest. These guys they leave their weapons around all over the place, so I scoop them up, paint them blue and sell them to the other guys, low overhead and big profits," Argit explained and Kevin smirked as did Ben.

"Your overhead has just gone up," Kevin told him as Ben put Argit down and the trio walked towards the others just as Lodestar turned into Daisuke.

"Of course I want to hear your side of the story," she told the general.

"Good. Because you have us all wrong, they attacked us. We're only defending ourselves," the general explained.

"Really?" Daisuke asked and the general nodded as energy bolts started flying around and the blue army were attacking.

"See!?" the general shouted as he and his soldiers ran for cover and Daisuke was enveloped in a gold flash of light as she turned into Spidermonkey and she jumped off and ran across the side of one of the huge blocked and she jumped down and shot webbing at several blue soldiers.

"It's one of those alien Spidermonkeys! You know what to do!" the blue general shouted and some soldiers saluted and ran off as Spidermonkey landed in front of him.

"Are you the one in charge?" she asked.

"I am," he answered.

"We need to talk," Spidermonkey said.

"I am a man of action. Not talk," the general said.

"And look where it's gotten you," Spidermonkey told him.

"Indeed," he said as a grenade landed in front of Spidermonkey and it released gas and she coughed and fell to her knees. "Look at where it has got me," the general said as soldiers advanced towards Spidermonkey. Meanwhile inside one of the fence blocks Argit was painting several weapons blue.

"What's taking so long Argit?" Ben asked him.

"Give me a break Ben. I'm going as fast as I can," Argit replied as someone knocked on the door and Argit grabbed some blue coloured weapons and ran to a door which opened to reveal soldiers from the blue army. "Here you are gentlemen, the finest weapons money can buy," he said handing the weapons to a soldier and another one gave him four jewels. "Much appreciated and death to the red guys," he said as he pocked the gems.

"Argit," Kevin said pointing to a large chest full of gems.

"I was gonna," Argit said as he put the gems into the chest as someone knocked at the other door and Argit grabbed some more weapons this time red ones and he walked to the door which opened to reveal soldiers from the red army. "Here you are my friends," he said handing the weapons to one red soldier while another handed him four gold nuggets when someone knocked on the other door. "I wasn't expecting anyone," Argit said as Ben walked towards the door and his Diamondhead arm turned into a spiked mace and he opened the door to see Gwen frowning at him.

"Nice little racket you and Kevin have got here," she said.

"I can explain," Ben said.

"You're making money off other peoples misery," Gwen said.

"I guess I don't need to explain," Ben said.

"I thought you and Kevin were here to help Daisuke," Gwen said.

"When has she ever gotten into trouble she can't get out of?" Ben asked his cousin.

"I'm telling you guys I'm not the enemy. I believe in peace!" Spidermonkey shouted as she was tied to a post in front of five soldiers. "The real enemy is war!" she shouted as the general gagged her.

"Ready...aim..." the general said.

"Stop!" a voice shouted and Probity ran up with a small alien beside her. "That's Dai Ten, I'm sure of it," she said.

"She doesn't know what's talking about. Fire!" the general shouted and the soldiers fired before a shield of mana appeared in front of Spidermonkey.

"Get yourself free. I can't hold this much longer," Gwen told her as Probity ran up and untied Spidermonkey who turned back to Daisuke making the soldiers gasp.

"You truly are her," the general said walking up to her. "So what do we do now?" he asked.

"I know. Let's eat," Probity said and a few minutes later Daisuke was sitting at a table with the general as she watched the blue soldiers eating messily.

"Do you guys always eat like this?" she asked the general.

"We must keep our strength up. For the war you know," he answered.

"I bet Probity doesn't eat like this every day," Daisuke said looking at Probity who was eating slowly while her pet was gnawing on a bone.

"Unfortunately our citizens must sacrifice for the sake of the war," the general said.

"But if there was no war. She could eat better and go to school," Daisuke said.

"Dai Ten I hate war as well. But the reds continue to attack us, we are only defending ourselves," the general said.

"But that's what the others said too. And if you're only defending yourselves there doesn't have to be a war," Daisuke said making everyone look at her.

"Here you go boys, use them in good health," Argit told some blue soldiers handing them weapons and one soldier walked towards him to pay him.

"Stop! They declared a truce. No more fighting!" a blue soldier shouted and the soldiers cheered and ran off.

"That was the best scam i ever pulled," Argit said.

"I bet they'll be fighting each other soon enough," Kevin reassured him. Meanwhile in one of the ships which were sucking up the giant stones making the borderline Daisuke and Probity watched the two generals argue.

"And I say he was red!" the red general shouted.

"No he was blue! I say that any idiot knows that but obviously you don't!" the blue general shouted back.

"Red!"

"Blue!"

"Red!"

"Blue!"

"What are they arguing about?" Daisuke asked Probity.

"Zabin of course, he was the wisest person to ever live. He gave us our laws and stuff like that, his statue is over there," she answered pointing to a large statue. "It was painted a long time ago and the paints faded away,"

"So no one knows if he was red or blue right?" Daisuke asked and Probity nodded.

"You're so smart that's what the fighting is about," she said.

"Say did you call me an idiot!?" the red general shouted.

"No! You underqualified!" the blue general shouted and both general lunged at each other and began to roll across the table.

"Hey! Cut it out!" Daisuke shouted running towards the generals and she turned into Four Arms and she grabbed both generals by their collar and held them apart from each other, before she dropped them."Now both of you shake hands," she told them but the generals huffed and turned away from each other. "Fine, I'll start," she said holding out her hand.

"Ha. I knew it, you're with them!" the blue general shouted before walking off with his shoulders.

"What just happened?" Four Arms asked.

"You ruined everything. You tried to shake with your right hand we shake with our left," Probity told her before running past her.

"Come on men. We've got a war to win!" the red general shouted and soon the borderline was set up again and both armies mobilised and began to attack each other. Soon Argit opened a door and handed weapons to some soldiers from the red army.

"Death to the blue guys and have a nice day," he told them and one soldier handed him some gold coins. "You were right about that truce not lasting Kevin, when did you get so smart?" he asked Kevin.

"Experience," Kevin said as he pulled out a gold coin from Argit's pocket.

"Oh come on. Cut me some slack here!" Argit pleaded.

"Fine," Kevin replied handing the coin back to him. "We are in a growth industry after all," meanwhile XLR* ran up to a cliff overseeing the battle and she stood beside Gwen.

"If only they had talked to each other," she said.

"Seems like they were doing better off before they started talking," Gwen said.

"Talking isn't the problem. It's the listening," XLR8 said as a light bulb appeared above her head and her visor dropped and she sped off again.

"And it's you my fellow soldiers who are the only hope against the heathen blue hordes, they claim our Zabin as their own and they would have our children attend school with blue trash it is you..." the red general said before the door was blasted open.

"Enough!" Swampfire shouted as she walked into the room and two soldiers ran towards her and she swatted them away when a third solider shot her head off and it regrew instantly and she grabbed the general and carried him off and the general saluted the last standing soldier.

"Don't hurt me please!" the red general shouted as Swampfire carried him over to a cave and she threw him down and the blue general caught him.

"Nobody is leaving this cave until you two work out a peace treaty," Swampfire told the two generals.

"Impossible," the red general said.

"That is what I told her," the blue general replied and Swampfire snapped her fingers and she threw a fireball at the ground making the two generals shout and run off, Swampfire then turned back into Daisuke who left the cave and she sat on a rock.

"Uh Dai Ten," the red general said as both generals walked out of the cave.

"That was fast, did you guys work out an agreement?" she asked.

"No. We just want to know when lunch is," the blue general said.

"There will be no lunch or dinner or any other mealtimes until you two work out an agreement," Daisuke told them.

"You can't do that!" the red general said and Daisuke reached for her Omnitrix. "Easy, Dai Ten violence never accomplishes anything,"

"Did you just hear what you said!?" Daisuke asked him.

"He means random violence. War is orderly violence," the blue general said.

"Orderly violence!?" Daisuke asked.

"We need war Dai Ten. It gives people to blame their problems on," the red general said.

"That's right. If they can't afford houses, or food or schools it's the wars fault," the blue general said.

"If there were no war they'd blame us for their problems," the red general said.

"Exactly. So...can we go now?" the blue general asked Daisuke.

"No! Get back in there!" Daisuke shouted and both generals groaned and walked into the cave.

"There has to be another way out of here," the blue general said holding up a flashlight.

"Where did you get that?" the red general asked.

"What this? It's just a crystalline light," the blue general answered.

"Yes. But I've got this," the red general said as he pulled off his monocle making the blue general smirk. Later that night Daisuke was outside the cave and had fallen asleep when the two generals walked towards her.

"Dai Ten, we've come up with something," the blue general said waking Daisuke up and she looked at the generals who shone the flashlight at Daisuke and then the red general put the monocle in front making the light brighter and Daisuke stumbled back as she tripped over a rock and she fell over the cliff and she was enveloped in a gold light and she turned into Goop just before she went splat over the rocks below and her anti-gravity projector pulled her back up and she turned back to Daisuke.

"I hate those two," she said. The next day both armies were in front of the statue of Zabin.

"Men, this fight isn't about land or money. It's about honour and purity. And above all it's about the reputation of the great Zabin!" both generals shouted to their troops.

"What a load!" a voice boomed and the two armies looked to see Way Big stand beside the statue of Zabin. "You guys are fighting to hide your real problems," she said.

"Don't listen to her. Charge!" the generals shouted but Way Big slammed her arm down between the armies stopping them from attacking each other.

"You're going to listen to me. A few days ago I got a letter from a little girl who lives here; it doesn't matter if she's red or blue all she wants. All she wants is for the war to stop," Way Big said and Probity who was standing on a cliff with Gwen shed tears. "Kevin said I wouldn't be able to fix everything in one weekend and he's right. So I've made a decision, I am going to stay here as long as I need to make you guys come to your senses. I have nothing but time," she told them and both generals looked at her as did the armies and the two generals climbed out of the tanks they were in and they walked towards one another, they then shook hands making both sides cheer for the end of the war. A short while later Daisuke, Gwen, Ben and Kevin were in Ship heading for home.

"I can't believe you stopped a war," Kevin said in disbelief.

"I was sure something was going to go wrong," Ben said agreeing with Kevin.

"Well it didn't. That's just how good I am," Daisuke said with a grin.

"I'm glad Probity can now live in a world without war," Gwen said before she saw Kevin and Ben with a chest full of money and jewels and Daisuke saw this as well and both smirked at each other, the back of Ship opened and Gwen held her hand out and she sent a mana blast at the chest which then flew out of Ship just as he flew out of the planets orbit.

"No!" both Kevin and Ben shouted as they watched the chest crash into the ground.

"Our loot," Kevin said shedding tears as Ship flew away back to Earth.

"Dear Dai Ten, thank you for ending the war that has been raging for so long, now I can finally go to school and be a normal girl," Probity said into a holo-viewer with a smile just as the chest crashed in front of her nearly crushing her. "What is this?" she asked as she opened the chest and she saw all the gems inside and she smiled brightly and began to throw some into the air laughing happily.
