Episode 19: Hero Time (Part 1)

[In alien language]: "That Ben Tennyson has foiled my plans one too many times! But now... I'm going to destroy him. -I'LL DESTROY HIS PAST!"

The one who said that was Vilgax. But... there was something strange about him. He looked a bit different and slightly bigger and more muscular. His outfit looked a bit different as well. Vilgax's ship may not have looked that much different on the outside, but it's a whole different story inside. The inside now had more technology, some of the controls looked different as well. Vilgax was about to tap something in his ship's controls when...

*SMASH!*

Vilgax (In alien language): "-H-HUH?!"

Something SMASHED on the ship! "-Wh...-WHAT WAS THAT?!" Vilgax yelled in alien language. When he turned around, he saw a light blue bipedal dinosaur-like creature! "-YOU!" Vilgax roared as he saw the creature, which had the OMNITRIX on his chest!

"-You're about to be Humungou-sorry!" *-BAM!* "-ARGH!" *-CRASH!*

The creature was BEN! Ben rushed up to Vilgax and punched him in the face! "-ARGH!" Vilgax yelled as he got sent flying before smashing onto his ship's controls! Once Vilgax was able to get back up, he looked at the controls. Some of them were BROKEN! "-RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Vilgax growled as he started charging and firing big eye lasers at Ben! But Ben turned into Wildmutt and used echo roar!

*ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*

Vilgax and his lasers were blown back! Vilgax was sent crashing into his ship's controls again! Breaking some more of them! Ben then leapt onto Vilgax before trying to attack him, unfortunately Vilgax swatted him away with one of his chin tentacles!

*-BAM! -ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! CRASH!*

Ben made a whiny sound as he hit the wall, then some of Vilgax's robotic humanoid lackeys started shooting at him! Luckily, Ben jumped in the air and used echo roar again.

*ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*

The lackeys exploded, the echo roar was more powerful than usual. That was strange, but I guess Ben just got more powerful over time. "-I'LL FINISH YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Vilgax roared as he charged towards Ben, who jumped again and clawed him.

Big laser blasters then started coming out of the walls of the inside of Vilgax's ship, they all started firing big lasers at Ben. Who turned into Wildvine and threw seed bombs at the laser blasters.

*-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!*

"Bull's-eye!" Ben said pumping his fist. But then, Vilgax slashed him up with his sharp fingers and ripped him apart! Ben and parts of his body fell onto the ground, Vilgax tried burning Ben and his body parts using eye lasers. But Ben and his body parts got out of the way and were able to combine back together. Ben then threw seed bombs at Vilgax.

*-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!* "AGH!" *THUMP!*

Vilgax ended up falling on the floor. His lackeys then turned their hands into big blasters before firing at Ben again. But Ben just turned into Upgrade, split him and his body parts and made him and his body parts land on the lackeys before downgrading and destroying them.

*-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-KZZT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-KZZT-KZZT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-KZZT- -BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!*

The lackeys exploded! "-I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" roared Vilgax as he started charging and blasting lasers at Ben again. Who liquified himself and went over to Vilgax before trying to downgrade and destroy his armor.

*-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-KZZT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-CRACKLE-KZZZT-* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" *-KZZT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTT-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-*

However, Vilgax's armor was tougher than before! And it wouldn't easily be downgraded and destroyed, especially by Upgrade. Vilgax managed to get Ben off of him by pulling on him violently and throwing him! "Oomph!" said Ben as he hit the floor. Vilgax tried using eye lasers again, but Ben got out of the way before turning into someone else.

*FLASH!* "Cannonbolt!" *-FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-CRASH!* "-ARGH!"

Ben used Cannonbolt to roll super fast towards Vilgax, before smashing into him and sending him flying across again. However this time, Vilgax managed to stop himself from hitting anything by using his rocket boots. "-CANNONBOLT CANNONBALL!" yelled Ben as he continued rolling. Vilgax tried to react, but Ben was too fast and hit him hard on the head!

*-BAM!* "-OOGH!"

Vilgax tried retaliating by using eye lasers, but Ben jumped while rolling before turning into Stinkfly and covering Vilgax in stinky blue sludge. Vilgax tried to get the sludge off, but Ben just kept shooting more. When Ben stopped, he went Fourarms and landed on the ground with his feet. Once he was on the ground, he used sonic clap to send Vilgax flying again.

*-BAM! -FWOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! -CRASH!*

Vilgax crashed into some more of the controls, when he got up and looked at them he growled and yelled "YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!" before starting to run towards Ben again. However, Ben turned into Wildmutt and let out a long and loud echo roar.

*-ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!*

Vilgax got sent flying again, but he wasn't the only one who was sent flying this time. The lackeys that were about to rush up and attack Ben were also sent flying and destroyed! Vilgax crashed onto some of his ship's controls again. Now a big part of it was TOTALLY WRECKED! Then, the ALARMS started BLARING.

Vilgax groaned and rubbed his head, then he looked around. Suddenly, he and Ben could feel the ship falling down! "-YOU FOOL!" Vilgax shouted as he looked at the ship's controls before looking at the computer screens. When he looked at the screens, he could see that the ship was moving downward FAST. "-WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY SHIP?!" Vilgax yelled again.

*-FLASH!*

Ben went Upgrade again, "Time for this ship to sink!" he said before covering the whole ship inside out with himself. -Then...

*-KZZT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-KZZT-KZZZZT-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-*

"-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" shouted Vilgax as he saw Ben start to downgrade and destroy his ship from the inside out. He tried to get Ben off, but he just got blasted with a big blue laser. The lackeys tried getting Ben off as well, but they just got destroyed. -Then...

*-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!*

Vilgax's ship EXPLODED! It shattered into a million pieces! Some of the parts were on fire, while others got burnt. Destroyed pieces of Vilgax's equipment including his lackeys rocketed into space! Soon, more parts of the ship caught fire!

As for Vilgax, he was floating in space. His body was diagonally SPLIT IN HALF! But... the surprising thing is... -he's still alive! "You will pay for this, Ben Tennyson..." he growled before continuing to float in space.

[Meanwhile... in the 10 year old version of our Ben's time...]

Ben and Gwen were inside the Rustbucket, Max was driving it. "So kids, I've heard of this amazing pizza place. Do you two want to come?" Max asked, "Yeah." replied Ben. Gwen just nodded. "Alright then, let's go." replied Max as he kept on driving.

But then... -something strange happened! As Max was driving, he saw a purple portal appear in front of him! "-Wh...-WHAT'S THAT?!" Ben asked pointing at it, "-OH NO!" said Max as he quickly tried to stop the Rustbucket. The Rustbucket drifted so fast before it finally came to a stop. When it did, the Tennysons looked out. "-Wh...-What? A portal? What's a portal doing here?" asked Ben, "I don't know, but we better get ready just in case." replied Max. Just then...

*Fwoosh! Fwoosh!* "-BEN TENNYSON!" *Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!*

Two certain villains came out of the portal! -It was Vilgax and Eon! Of course, if there's any time travel stuff you bet Eon's most probably gonna be there. What was strange about Vilgax was that he looked exactly like the one who's ship just exploded in the other timeline, but I guess time travel stuff is weird.

"-WH...-WHAT?! -VILGAX AND EON?! -WHAT'RE THEY DOING HERE?!"

"I don't know, but it's probably nothing good."

"Ben Tennyson, I've come to DESTROY YOU!"

Vilgax and Eon were looking at the Rustbucket, they knew Ben was in there. Ben then got out and said "Alright you crazy freaks, what're you two up to this time?!". But Vilgax and Eon didn't respond. Instead, they both threw big blasts at Ben!

*-FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! -FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! -BOOM-BOOM!* "-AAH!"

Luckily, Ben got out of the way in time. Then, he said "The both of you are going down! It's hero time!" before quickly activating the Omnitrix and slamming it.

*FLASH!*

Ben had turned into Wildvine, then he got some seed bombs from his back and threw them at Vilgax and Eon. Who got out of the way before throwing more blasts at Ben, who dodged them. Ben tried throwing more seed bombs, but Eon made them vanish out of existence using a blast.

"What do you two want?!" Ben asked, "I already said that I WANT TO DESTROY YOU!" roared Vilgax. "Why is Eon here then?!" Ben added, "Eon is helping me." Vilgax replied before blasting eye lasers in Ben's direction. "-WHOA!" yelled Ben as he jumped just in time. "You won't last long!" Vilgax roared again as he and Eon started blasting at Ben again.

*-BAM! -BAM! -BAM! -BAM! -BAM! -BAM!*

Vilgax and Eon's blasts destroyed Ben into pieces! Some of them crumbled into dust, luckily most of the pieces were okay. So Ben and those pieces combined themselves back together. And he and the pieces replaced the pieces that crumbled into dust.

After Ben and his body was fixed, Ben tried throwing seed bombs again. This time, he managed to hit the ground near Vilgax and Eon. Smoke flew everywhere. When it cleared, Vilgax and Eon could see that Ben wasn't there anymore. "Where'd he go?" said Eon. -Then...

*-SNAP-SNAP!* "-AGH!" "OOF!"

Something whipped Vilgax and Eon from behind. It was Ben, who used his vine arms to whip them. Ben tied up Vilgax and Eon using his vine arms before breaking them off and growing new ones. Unfortunately, Vilgax and Eon got free easily! Then, they started blasting at Ben again, who started running.

Meanwhile, Max and Gwen were now ready. They started firing at Vilgax and Eon, making them fall down. Before shooting power strings at them.

*BAM! BAM! -CHAKK-CHAKK! -CHAKK-CHAKK! -FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH- -FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH- -KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-KZZT-* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

Once the power strings were done, Vilgax and Eon got weakened a bit. But then, Eon used his time powers to make the strings vanish out of existence. He did the same for the burns he and Vilgax got from the strings.

Ben went Wildmutt before using echo roar, however Eon just made the roar's waves vanish using his time powers. "Give up, Ben Tennyson." said Eon, but Ben just turned into XLR8 and dashed towards him and Vilgax before punching them! Eon got sent flying, but Vilgax just slid back a bit. Vilgax tried using his eye lasers again, but Ben came back and created a tornado that sucked him and Eon in it.

*-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-*

Eon and Vilgax yelled as they were thrown into the air! Ben followed them and saw them crash into things. Once Eon and Vilgax crashed onto the ground, Ben used Stinfly to fly high into the air before going Cannonbolt and rolling down super fast!

Eon and Vilgax groaned as they sat up. Vilgax rubbed his head, and he and Eon looked in the sky. When they did, they saw Ben rolling down! Vilgax and Eon gasped before trying to get out of the way, but Ben got to them first and smashed into them before dragging them across the ground by rolling.

*-SMASH! -RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-RUMBLE-*

Once Ben stopped, he got off of Vilgax and Eon before landing not too far from them and uncurling himself. "Oh yeah! Take that you freaks!" said Ben. "-HRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" roared Vilgax as he got up and started firing a continous eye laser. "-AGH!" yelled Ben as he got sent flying across and crashed onto the ground, but luckily he was able to get back up. Then, Ben rolled towards Vilgax super fast. Only for Vilgax to swat him away like a volleyball!

*-BAM!* "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Ben flew high into the air and disappeared! Meanwhile, Max and Gwen were running. While they were doing so, Gwen saw Ben and said "-GRANDPA LOOK!". "-H-Huh?" said Max as he looked to where Gwen was pointing. He saw Ben flying in the air! "-BEN!" Max yelled as he saw him crash somewhere.

*-CRASH!* "OOGH!"

"-BEN!" Max yelled again as he and Gwen started running towards him. Unfortunately, Vilgax suddenly jumped out of nowhere and blocked their way! "-AAH!" Gwen and Max yelled in surprise. "-V-V-V-V-V-VILGAX?!" stuttered Gwen, "Yes. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Vilgax laughed. Gwen and Max then started blasting at Vilgax's face! "Agh!" said Vilgax as he held his face in a bit of pain, then Gwen and Max tackled him.

"Oogh!" said Vilgax as he fell, Gwen and Max tried to attack him but he was able to push them off! "-THE BOTH OF YOU WON'T RUIN MY PLANS!" growled Vilgax, "Allow me." someone suddenly said. -It was Eon, who sent continuous purple blasts Gwen and Max's way. "-AAH!" Gwen and Max yelled as they got out of the way just in time. But they ended up falling down. "I'll take care of these two." Eon added as he continued to try and blast Gwen and Max, who were now running everywhere. Meanwhile, Vilgax used his rocket boots to fly high in the air to look for Ben.

Vilgax looked for Ben from above, he saw a big crack somewhere on the ground. Ben must have fallen there, but he couldn't see him. Then...

*-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-SPLAT-* "-AGH-"

Light blue sludge was shot at Vilgax! It was Ben, who turned into Stinkfly. "Your day's gonna "stink"!" Ben said as he shot more sludge before stabbing one of Vilgax's chin tentacles with his tail. "-AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" yelled Vilgax before trying to blast Ben, unfortunately Ben was a bit too fast. Ben then flew higher before going Fourarms, as he was falling he grabbed Vilgax by the chin tentacles. "-ACK-" said Vilgax as he got dragged down.

"-LET GO OF ME!" Vilgax roared as he tried to make Ben let go of him, but it didn't work. As Vilgax and Ben were falling faster and faster, they could see the ground. Vilgax kept on trying to get Ben off of him, but he still couldn't. -Then...

*-SMASH!*

Ben smashed Vilgax onto the ground! Creating a big crater! Smoke flew everywhere! Once the smoke cleared, it revealed that Vilgax had bruises! Even on the face! "-Uuu...-Uuurrrggghhh..." groaned Vilgax as he tried to get up. -But then...

*-SMASH!*

Ben smashed him on the ground again! Making the crater a bit deeper! Vilgax groaned some more before he finally gave up. "Give up Vilgax! You lost." said Ben, "...Uuunnnggghhh..." Vilgax groaned some more before giving up.

Meanwhile, Gwen and Max were fighting Eon. But it was REALLY HARD because Eon was a powerful opponent. "-RRRAAAGGGHHH!" Eon yelled as he managed to punch Max! "Argh!" Max yelled before falling down, "GRANDPA!" yelled Gwen before firing a power string from her blaster. The power string got Eon and electrocuted him.

*-CHAKK-CHAKK! -BAM! -FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH-FWOOSH- -KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!* "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Oogh!" said Eon as he fell down. Eon was about to get back up again, when...

*-BAM!* "-OOGH!" *THUMP!*

Gwen whacked him in the head with her blaster! Eon's head is protected with a helmet-like thing, but Gwen whacked so hard he ended up getting knocked out. "And stay down!" said Gwen as she kept looking at Eon to make sure he wasn't going to do something sneaky or tricky. After a while, Gwen went over to Max and said "Grandpa!" before helping him get up. "Grandpa, you okay?" asked Gwen, "Yeah, nothin' I can't handle." Max replied. Then, he added "Oh, so you managed to knock out Eon. Good job Gwen.". Gwen just smiled.

"Hey guys, check out who I got." a voice said, it was Ben as Fourarms. Gwen and Max turned to look at him. When they did, they saw him holding Vilgax. Ben then dropped Vilgax near Eon before turning back to human.

[Some Time Later...]

Vilgax and Eon were taken away by the plumbers, and the Tennysons were now back in the Rustbucket. Ben and Gwen were talking with each other.

Ben: Vilgax kinda looked different. His armor is different, he's bigger and I think he's a bit more muscular. -He... -He just looks a bit different now.

Gwen: Maybe he just upgraded his stuff and got stronger.

Ben: Maybe.

[Meanwhile, in another part of our Ben's time]

We are now in another part of our Ben's time.

"Hey Azmuth, I finally got him."

"Don't be so sure, he might come back one way or another."

I... -I'm not sure if I'm right or not, but the person who said "I finally got him." looks like... -a future version of our Ben?! He still wears the same outfit, even after many years. But obviously he's now taller, stronger and grown up. The Omnitrix still looks the same, it's not a bad thing though. Why change the Omnitrix when it's still perfectly fine as it is? And here's another thing, this Ben is the same Ben that helped and used Alien X in the episode Battle Of The Bens (Part 2).

Ben: Yeah, but don't worry. If Vilgax does something crazy again, I'll just kick his butt again.

"Hmm." Azmuth said before returning to his work. Yep, this Ben knows Azmuth. I'd tell about how Ben got to meet Azmuth, but I won't.

Ben decided to take a rest for a while, it had been a long battle today. And he was a bit tired. Before Ben took a rest, he drank some soda first.

[Some Time Later...]

Ben was now done resting, he was about to get up from his chair when

*-Beep-beep-beep-beep! -Beep-beep-beep-beep!*

The Omnitrix started beeping. "Oh. Grandpa Max's calling." Ben muttered to himself as he picked up the call. Then, he said "Hello? Grandpa Max?".

"Ben, me and Gwen were thinking we could go places, wanna join us?" Max said, "Sure." replied Ben. "Great!" Max added, "I'll get to where you guys are using XLR8. I'm kinda bored anyway so sure. I'll join you guys." Ben replied. "This is gonna be fun." said Max, Ben then hung up and activated the Omnitrix before turning into XLR8 and dashing off.

*-FLASH! -FWOOSH!*

[Some Time Later...]

"I'm ready grandpa."

"Good, now all we have to do is wait for Ben."

Gwen and Max wore different outfits and were now ready, they were just waiting for Ben. But they didn't have to wait any longer.

*-FWOOSH!*

They heard something zoom and stop outside. They knew who it was.

"Ben! You're here."

"Yeah, let's go."

Ben turned back to human before getting in the Rustbucket with Max and Gwen. Max then started his vehicle and drove off.

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!*

"Just like old times huh?" Max said while driving, "Yeah." agreed Gwen. "Yeah." replied Ben as he was reading a Sumo Slammers comic book.

"So Ben, what have you been up to lately?" asked Gwen, "Oh you know, saving the world and kicking bad guy butt. As always." Ben replied smiling. Gwen laughed a bit, "What 'bout you? What are you doing?" Ben asked back. "Studying and stuff like that. But I decided to take a bit of a break just this once." Gwen answered, "Cool." said Ben.

[Some Time Later...]

"We're here." said Max as he pulled up to what looked like a pizza place, "And perfect timing too, it's nearly lunch." he added. "Well, let's go." said Ben as he, Gwen and Max got out of the Rustbucket before going in the restaurant. Once the Tennysons got in the restaurant, there were lines. "Guess we'll have to wait a bit." said Max, "Alright." Ben replied.

The Tennysons waited as the customers got their food. When it was their turn, the cashier saw Ben and said "BEN 10!" in surprise. "Hey." Ben said smugly, when the other cashiers saw Ben they screamed in excitement. Then, the cashiers wanted Ben to give them autographs. Ben did, after that the cashiers screamed with excitement again.

"Uhhh... can we make an order now?" Ben asked, but the cashiers were too busy screaming in excitement. Ben just laughed a bit, Gwen rolled her eyes and Max just stared. When the cashiers finally stopped screaming, one of them said "Ok sir what would you like?". "Alright, we gotta order something we all agree upon." Ben said to Max and Gwen. "How about sardines pizza?" suggested Max, sardines pizza was on the restaurant's menu by the way. "Wait what?!" Ben asked in surprise, Gwen just looked in a bit of shock. Then, she said "I'm trying to go for something that dosen't have too much stuff on it.". "How 'bout we just order a pepperoni pizza?" said Ben, "Yeah, sounds good." Max replied. "Mmmhmm." Gwen added. "One pepperoni pizza please." Ben said to the cashier before giving her the money, "Alright sir." the cashier replied before taking it. "Let's find somewhere to sit." Ben said to Gwen and Max, so they did.

Once the Tennysons found somewhere to sit, Ben and Gwen started talking to each other again. "So Ben, how many transformations have you unlocked on that thing?" Gwen asked pointing at the Omnitrix, "28." Ben answered. "Really? I thought there'd be LOTS more by now." Gwen added, "How many spells can you do on your spell book now?" Ben asked back, "I can do more, but most of those spells don't have too big of an effect when you use them." Gwen replied. Ben laughed a bit, Gwen rolled her eyes while also laughing a bit. Then, the Tennysons kept on waiting for their food.

After a while, the pizza arrived. "Here's your pizza sir." the cashier said to Ben, "Thanks." Ben replied. The cashier then left. "Well, dig in." Ben added as he, Gwen and Max started getting slices of pizza.

[After the Tennysons finished their food...]

Once the Tennysons were finished eating, they chatted to each other for a while. After that, Ben said "Well, I guess it's time to go.". "Yeah, I've got lots of places we can go I have in mind." added Max as he, Ben and Gwen got up from their chairs and started to go for the doors. But... -as they were doing so...

*CRASH!* "-AAH!" "-AAH!" "-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Someone blasted the doors of the restaurant! "WHOA! What was that?!" said Gwen in surprise, "-EON!" replied Ben pointing at the one who blasted the doors. "BEN TENNYSON!" Eon yelled, "What're you doing here?!" Ben asked. "I'm here to capture you." Eon replied as he formed purple energy in his hands. "Not gonna happen." said Ben as he transformed into something.

*FLASH! -FWOOSH! BAM!* "URGH!"

Ben went XLR8, he dashed towards Eon punching him and sending him flying outside! Eon ended up crashing on the ground, Ben then went Stinkfly and trapped him in sticky blue sludge. Since this version of Ben is an adult, his forms have gotten stronger. Including Stinkfly. "STAY THERE EON!" Ben yelled as he landed near him. Unfortunately, Eon was able to break free using his powers! Ben tried shooting more sludge at him, but the time traveller used time powers to vanish.

Eon had disappeared, but Ben knew he was going to reappear soon. So he turned into Goop and got ready. A few seconds went by, and Eon hadn't reappeared yet. But Ben knew he was going to do it anytime soon. Suddenly...

*FWOOSH! -PEW!*

Eon reappeared! He tried blasting at Ben, but Ben liquified himself before solidifying himself again and extending his arm to punch Eon. "Oof!" Eon said as he held his head, not like he could do it properly anyway because of the helmet. "You'll pay for that!" yelled Eon as he kept trying to blast Ben, but Ben would just dodge the blasts. Then, Ben started shooting acidic sludge. Eon tried dodging, but some of the sludge got on the things he was wearing. "Agh!" Eon yelled in surprise as he saw the acidic sludge melt some parts of his outfit.

"Give up Eon." said Ben, "-RRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Eon yelled as he threw more blasts at Ben, who dodged them all. Then, Ben tried shooting acidic sludge again. But this time, Eon managed to dodge. "Sooner or later, you're gonna make a mistake." said Eon, but Ben just extended his arm and punched him again.

"Sankna Tuvna Merachta Abalos Misshio Dentva Pitralis Mankna!" uttered Gwen. The spell book then glowed yellow, before sending out a big blast towards Eon! Once Eon was able to get back up, he saw the blast coming towards him. "-AAH!" he yelled as he tried to run, but the blast got him first and paralyzed him.

Now it was Max's turn to do something. He grabbed a circular thing that had the colors of Upgrade. It was a galvanic mechamorph bomb, you can change the settings on it for it to do something else instead of explode when used. Max changed the bomb's settings to "downgrade" and threw it at Eon. Once the bomb got on Eon, it started covering him with itself. -Then...

*-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! -KZZT-KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! -CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-KZZT- -FLASH!*

It started downgrading what he was wearing and the equipment on him! Eon struggled to get the bomb off of him, but he couldn't. Then, the bomb finished downgrading Eon and his equipment. After that, some parts of Eon's clothes started to shatter and crumble into dust. "-AAH!" Eon yelled in surprise as he saw what happened to some parts of his clothes.

"It's over Eon, your gadgets, gizmos and whatnot are all busted. You can't fight anymore." said Ben, "Until next time, Ben Tennyson!" yelled Eon as he tried getting out of this Ben's time. But before he could, Ben trapped him using Stinkfly's sludge. Eon was trapped. "...Uuu... -UUURRRGGGHHH!" Eon groaned as he tried to get free, he couldn't use the equipment he had that could still work because they were covered in Stinkfly goo.

Eon could see that the Tennysons were coming towards him. He kept on struggling, he seemed like he was trying to do something else other than get free. "C'mon c'moooon!" Eon said to himself, then he managed to get his hand out of the sludge. "Stop him!" said Ben as he saw what happened. But then, Eon managed to get his other hand out of the sludge. It was holding what looked like a purple pocket watch. Eon managed to use his other hand to do something with the pocket watch before closing it. -Then...

*DING! DING! DING!*

The pocket watch made some loud sounds like you would hear on old clocks. The Tennysons tried getting to Eon, but then... purple light started surrounding him before he quickly disappeared.

*FLASH!*

"He's gone!" said Ben, Gwen and Max just stared in surprise. "Let's get some help." Ben added as he, Gwen and Max started running in the other direction.

[Some Time Later...]

The Tennysons tried getting help, they got help from Azmuth, the plumbers, other superheroes and anyone who could help them. But so far, no one was successful in tracking down Eon.

Ben: Oh man! Eon got away from us again!

Gwen: We'll get him the next time we see him.

Max: So... do you guys want to continue the trips we planned?

Ben: Let's rest a bit first. Trying to help in finding Eon was a bit tiring.

Max: Oh, ok.

[Meanwhile... somewhere far far away in space...]

"What are we going to do Vilgax? Everytime we try to carry out this plan we end up failing it."

"Hmm, I think I know someone who can help us. But it's going to be hard to find him."

"So, let's start finding him then. Wait, who are you talking about?"

"Maltruant."

"Oh yeah, I've heard a little bit about him."

"I'm going to try and find out where he is exactly first."

Vilgax and Eon were talking about how to make their plan not fail this time. If you're wondering how Vilgax becomes perfectly fine again after every time he's been beaten, it's because of Eon's help. Vilgax thought of getting help for the plan from someone he heard of. Maltruant. In the real Ben 10 show, Maltruant is a black chronosapien with some red parts on him. In our story, Maltruant dosen't really have color. He's just the color of metal. Our Maltruant also had rust in most parts of his body. Our Maltruant's eyes are colored yellow, and so was the middle part on the front of his body.

"Let me check the ship's screens first and see if I can locate him." Vilgax added, "Alright." replied Eon as Vilgax did just that. But since Maltruant is SO FAR AWAY from where Vilgax and Eon are, the screens would have a VERY HARD time finding him. And it would take a LONG time too.

It took a very long time for the screens to be able to find where Maltruant is, Vilgax and Eon ended up getting a bit bored. But eventually, the screens found who they were looking for. "-H-Huh?" said Vilgax as the screens made sounds when they found Maltruant. "Wh-What is it?" asked Eon, "Look." replied Vilgax pointing at the screens. "He's pretty far away." Eon replied, "I know, that's why we have to get to where he is as soon as possible." Vilgax replied back as he started his ship.

The Chimeran Hammer's engine started making sounds, then it blasted off as Vilgax started it. "This will take a while..." Vilgax said as he drove.

[3 Days Later...]

[In our future Ben's time...]

*Yawn...*

Ben had just woken up. The sun was shining and the day looked great. But then, he was surprised when he looked around him. He was... -in the Rustbucket? "-H-Hey... -wh...-why am I in the Rustbucket? I didn't sleep here last night!" said Ben, then he looked at Gwen and Max. Who were still sleeping. "How'd I end up here?" Ben wondered, then he woke Gwen up.

"Gwen! Gwen!"

"-H-Huh?"

"Something strange happened! I didn't sleep here last night, but why am I here now?"

"What do you mean? You did sleep here last night."

"B-But I didn't?

"Uhh... you did?"

Ben was confused, why was Gwen telling him that he slept in the Rustbucket last night when he didn't? Ben then woke Max.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

"-H...-Huh?! -Wh-What is it?!"

"Grandpa, I didn't sleep here last night. But now I'm here! Something weird happened!"

"Wh...What are you talking about? You did sleep here last night."

"No I didn't!"

"Yeah you did."

Ben was even more confused now, why couldn't Gwen and Max remember things that actually happened? Like him not sleeping in the Rustbucket last night, then... something went in his mind.

(In Ben's Mind): "Th...-That's it! Eon! He must've done this to get revenge on me!"

Ben was thinking that Eon was the one behind all this, but he wasn't 100% sure if he was right or not. Still, it kinda made sense since time looked like it had been changed. And Gwen and Max couldn't remember things that actually happened. Then, Ben looked at his left wrist. He noticed that the Omnitrix WASN'T THERE! "-WAIT, WHERE'S THE OMNITRIX?!" Ben said in surprise, "The what?" asked Gwen confused. "The Omnitrix." Ben repeated, "What's the Omni... -Omnitrix?" Gwen asked again, "It's something that looks like a blue watch that can turn the user into different creatures." Ben replied as he started looking for the Omnitrix inside the Rustbucket.

"What are you doing?" Gwen asked, "I'm trying to see if I can find the Omnitrix somewhere in here." Ben replied. Gwen and Max then looked at each other confused. Ben searched the whole Rustbucket for the Omnitrix, but he couldn't find it. "It's not here anywhere!" he said. Then, Gwen said "Ok, tell me what's going on. 'Cuz I'm confused right now.". "I think Eon must've changed time so that I wouldn't have the Omnitrix so that I couldn't fight him." Ben replied, "Wait, -how do you know about EON?! We never took you to our battles." Gwen replied even more confused. "I know him because I've seen him and I've fought him before. I think the reason you guys don't know it is because he probably changed time." Ben replied again.

"Yeah, hold on a minute Ben." Gwen said, then she whispered "Grandpa, let's huddle." to Max. So she and Max did. Then, Gwen started whispering.

Gwen: Is this really true? Eon has changed the timeline?

Max: I mean... it is possible. After all, Eon has time powers. So he really might have changed time.

Gwen: Oh, alright.

After Gwen and Max whispered to each other, they turned to Ben. "Alright Ben. So how do we get things back to normal?" Gwen asked, "We need to time travel or something." Ben replied. "Alright." Gwen replied back. But, before the Tennysons could do anything else...

*Fwoosh! FLASH!*

"Wh... What? W-Wait... P-Professor Paradox?!"

"Hello, Tennysons."

A yellow portal appeared. And out came a certain man. "P-Professor Paradox?!" Ben said in surprise, "Hello, Tennysons." Professor Paradox replied. "What're you doing here?" Ben asked, "I'm here to help with this time problem." Professor Paradox replied. "I knew it was a time problem! So, lemme guess. Eon did this, right?" Ben continued, "Well... no. Not entirely." said Professor Paradox. "Wait what?! Who else is helping him?!" Ben asked again, "Maltruant." said Paradox.

Ben: Who's Maltruant?

Professor Paradox: Maltruant is just like "Clockwork", except he dosen't have any color and is rusty on a lot of his parts. He's evil.

Ben: So let's go get Maltruant.

Professor Paradox: Wait, before we do. I must tell you that you aren't fit to fight right now. Maltruant reversed time on some things. Including your body, fighting skills and whatnot.

Ben: -WAIT WHAT?!

Professor Paradox: But don't worry, I can fix this. *Uses some of his equipment*

Professor Paradox started using some of his equipment along with a golden pocket watch. After he did, yellow light started shining all over. The Tennysons covered their eyes with their arms to avoid getting bothered too much by the light. As time went on, the light grew brighter, and brighter, and brighter, and brighter, and brighter, and brighter. Until...

*-FLASH!*

It disappeared. Once the light disappeared, Professor Paradox said "Ben, look at your left wrist.". So Ben did, and he saw the Omnitrix on his left wrist. "The Omnitrix! It's back!" he said as he looked at it. Professor Paradox smiled and said "Alright everyone, get ready. We have to stop this.". Gwen and Max put on their plumber suits. They were improved and much better now. They almost had no color at all (that's okay, not much time or money will be wasted on painting and coloring them.) and were much tougher than before. The plumber suits also came with new equipment like improved blasters, galvanic mechamorph bombs and more. The new plumber suits now used galvanic and galvanic mechamorph technology as well.

"Let's go." said Max, Professor Paradox then made another yellow portal. Together, he and Tennysons went inside it.

[Meanwhile... somewhere in space...]

"HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Three certain villains were laughing. Vilgax, Eon and... -what looked like... -Maltruant?!

Eon: Finally, that pest is taken care of. Now we won't have anything much to worry about anymore.

Vilgax: Don't be so sure. Be ready just in case that wretched pest finds a way to get to us.

Eon: Alright.

Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant succeeded with their plan. But they only fully succeeded for a short time, as Professor Paradox was able to give Ben the Omnitrix, some % of his fighting skills and some other stuff. Still, the Tennysons and Paradox would have a hard time fighting Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant because what Maltruant did affected some things about the Tennysons. Including their fighting style, fighting skills, how strong their abilities are, how much they could use those abilities, etc.

[Now... back to the Tennysons and Paradox]

The Tennysons and Paradox soon came out of the portal. When they did, they saw that they were inside the plumbers' base in The Alternate Dimension. "The plumbers' base?" asked Ben, "We could ask the plumbers for help in figuring out who or what exactly caused all this. But I already know that Eon's going to be a part of it." Professor Paradox replied. Just then, one of the plumbers arrived.

Plumber: Oh, the Tennysons. And... Professor Paradox? Wh...What are you doing here professor?

Professor: Something happened that changed Ben's timeline.

Plumber: And what's that?

Professor Paradox: I'm not sure who caused all this, but I think Eon's a part of this.

Plumber: Alright, I'll get some other plumbers to help you and the Tennysons.

So the plumber did, he called for some other plumbers. It took a while, but eventually some other plumbers came out.

Plumber 2: Hello Tennysons and Paradox. You guys got a time problem?

Professor Paradox: Yes, I'm thinking Eon was part of this. But I'm not 100% sure. There are other bad guys that can use time powers.

Plumber 2: Alright, we'll see what we can do.

So the plumbers got to work, they started opening things in the computers. "This is going to take a while." another one of them said, "We'll wait." replied Max.

[Some Time Later...]

It took a long time for the plumbers to figure out what caused this time problem. But eventually, they managed to do it.

Plumber 3: Aha!

Ben: What is it?

Plumber 3: The ones who caused all this are Eon, Maltruant and Vilgax.

The Tennysons: -VILGAX?!

Plumber 3: Yeah.

Ben: Where can we find them?

Plumber 3: *Types using holographic keyboard* They're over here. *Points at where the computer said Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant were*

Gwen: That's so far from where we are!

Ben: I know someone who can help us. Profesor Paradox, can you take me, Gwen and grandpa back to our dimension?

Professor Paradox: Alright. *Creates another portal*

The Tennysons & Professor Paradox: *Walks in the portal*

*Fwoosh! Fwoosh!*

When the Tennysons and Paradox got back to their dimension, they were in the Rustbucket. After that, Ben said "I know someone who can help us. Azmuth. Let's go to Galvan Prime.". "Alright." replied Max. "Professor Paradox, can you make a portal that leads to Galvan Prime?" Ben asked Paradox, but Professor Paradox just said "I'm sorry Ben Tennyson, but I can't do that right now. What's planned for the time dosen't want me to do it.". Professor Paradox's situation is like this Ben's Alien X. The difference is that this Ben's Alien X is restricted from doing some things by Bellicus and Serena, while Professor Paradox is restricted from doing some things because of what was planned for time.

"So... you can't make a portal..." said Ben, "I'm afraid not." Professor Paradox replied. "I got this." said Max as he went to the Rustbucket's driver's seat before starting it up.

As the Rustbucket started up, Max pressed a light blue button on it. When he did, the Rustbucket's wheels made it jump. While the Rustbucket was in mid-air, the wheels started facing down. Light blue energy that looked like fire but wasn't started coming out. -Then...

*-FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!*

The Rustbucket flew into the air before disappearing into the distance.

[When the Tennysons and Paradox got to Galvan Prime...]

"Look, there it is!" yelled Gwen as she pointed at where she and the others were supposed to go. Galvan Prime. Galvan Prime is the home planet of the galvans. And galvans are the ones you'd mostly see there. Galvans are Grey Matter's species.

Max then drove the Rustbucket to Galvan Prime. Eventually, he was able to get near it. Meanwhile, one of the galvans saw the Rustbucket approaching. He activated his communicator and said "The Tennysons are here!", "Alright." replied a familiar voice. -It was Azmuth.

[Some Time Later...]

Once Max was able to land the Rustbucket somewhere, he, Ben, Gwen and Paradox got out. "Galvan Prime, really nice planet." Professor Paradox said, "Yeah." agreed Ben. Galvan Prime had all sorts of tech in it. But not everywhere, it's a SUPER BIIIIIG planet after all. It would take MANY YEARS before Galvan Prime would have tech literally everywhere.

Just then, Azmuth came along. "Hello Tennysons." he said, then he looked at Paradox and added "So you three have brought a friend along.". "Azmuth, we need your help." Ben said, "On what?" Azmuth asked. "Vilgax, Eon and someone named Maltruant have messed with time." Ben answered, then he added "One, two or all three of them changed the timeline so that I wouldn't have the Omnitrix and I wouldn't be as good as usual in fighting. But Professor Paradox was able to help, ...well... sorta. He was able to give me back the Omnitrix and some of my fighting skills. But the timeline's still messed up. It says here on this paper that the plumber gave me that I'm not famous like I'm supposed to be, me, Gwen's and grandpa's fighting skills have been weakened, some of the stuff in the Rustbucket is missing, Gwen dosen't have the same number of spells she usually has in her spell book, the Omnitrix can only turn me into an alien for a much shorter time and it has a bit less aliens. There's many more things in the timeline that was messed up." Ben replied. "Alright, how can I help?" said Azmuth, "Can you send some backup for us so that we'll have even more of a chance against Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant?" Ben asked, "Alright." said Azmuth.

[Even more time later...]

Soon, Azmuth was able to provide backup. Which were strong trained galvans riding in galvan ships. Some galvanic mechamorphs (Upgrade's species) decided to help too, they brought things that had galvanic mechamorph technology in them. Including their own ships. Azmuth decided to come along as well just in case, Xylene went with him.

Some time after, the Tennysons, the Rustbucket, the plumbers, galvans, galvanic mechamorphs, Paradox, Azmuth and Xylene were now heading towards where Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant were. Their locations were figured out, now all they have to do is go to them. But it was going to be a long journey, and I'm pretty sure the battle is going to be VERY HARD.

Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant have messed with time. Luckily, the Tennysons were able to get some help. Now they're going to where Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant were with the plumbers, the galvans, the galvanic mechamorphs, Azmuth, Xylene and Paradox. If everyone finds Vilgax, Eon and Maltruant, will they be able to stop them? Find out next time on Ben 10 Alternate Dimension.
