Hey, everyone! I'm back with another chapter of Ben 10 meets DC Superhero Girls! Lets begin!
I DON'T OWN ANYONE IN THIS SERIES!*
It was another day at Metropolis High, and today our heroes were getting their report cards.
Jessica: At the risk of sounding like a pawn to the education-industrial complex, I have to admit... I love report card day!
Ben: I bet.
Kara: [opens her report card] If my GPA is up this term, Jeremiah will finally let me have my car back. [shudders] Let's see. "D-Minus"? [overjoyed] Guess who's back on the road!
Rook: I don't think that's good, Kara.
Ben: [check his report card] I did really well, in my account.
Babs: [rips her report card open] "B". "A". "B!" Ih, my gosh, it's finally happening. An "S" for satisfactory in test prep! My grades spell "Babs"!
Ben: Wow, that is interesting.
Karen: [notice Diana reading her report card] Diana, is everything okay?
Diana: [smiles] Oh, yes. It is just that there is an unusual symbol next to one my "A's". Perhaps it is a smudge.
Zee: That is a minus. You got an "A-minus".
Diana: Uh, me-noose?
Babs: You know, like not quite an "A". But better than a "B-plus".
Diana: But I have always achieved straight "A's". Clearly, a misunderstanding has transpired. A misunderstanding that shall be rectified immediately! [walks away]
Ben: This isn't going well.
Soon...
[muffled speaking]
Then, they saw Diana coming out.
Diana: It appears this me-noose is legitiment. Now, if you will excuse me, I have some "totally not related to the me-noose" buisness to attend to.
Then, she went into the janitor's closet.
Karen: Diana, that's the-
Babs: [stops her] Uh-uh, she probably want some alone time.
[Diana grunts]
Babs: You know, to vent a little.
[Diana grunting]
Babs: A lot. Give her a sec.
[Diana grunting]
Then, the door fell off.
Babs: Getting it out of her system is all.
Diana came out with an angry look while holding a mop!
Babs: See?
Diana: [shouts]
[crashes]
Babs: Maybe just give her one more second?
5 days later...
Diana was lying on the couch in the base all depressed!
Karen: Is she still breathing? Someone should check.
Kara: Yeah, she hasn't moved from that couch in five dya to even brush her teeth. I'm not going anywhere near where she breathes.
Zee: Well, one thing's for sure. It's on us [as she makes her hat and wand appear] to cheer her up.
Ben: Yeah!
Rook: Indeed!
Jessica seemed to be teaching Diana some meditation.
Jessica: Whenever I am feeling down, I find it helpful to re-center and efocus. [inhales deeply] Breathe in the outer peace, [exhales] and breathe out the inner chaos. [to Diana] You try.
Diana: [sighs, as a fly flies out of her mouth]
[fly buzzing]
Kara was now punching her training dummy of Superman.
Kara: [grunts] Oh, yeah! See that? Punching stuff just makes you feel better. [to Diana, as she grabs her hand] Come on, let me show you.
Diana just remained motionless! Then, Tom came in with Thunder.
Tom: I know what could help you out. You can come on a ride with me and Thunder, just get some fresh air in the sky.
But she just remained depressed!
Thunder: [grunts sadly]
[party horn blowing]
Babs: [wearing a party hat] I call this my party hat! [puts a party hat on Diana] Because wherever you go, the party is at!
That still didn't cheer her up, as Zee decided to give Diana a makeover!
Zee: [painting Diana's face with a makeup brush] Nothing like a little makeover magic to put a smile on your face.
Diana had big eyelashes, purple eyeshadow, and pink lipstick! However, she started to shed tears, ruining her mascara.
Zee: Eh, this isn't working.
Karen: We're not addressing the real problem. The reason Diana got that minus is because she's spread way too thin. [approaches Diana, as her eyes widened] See, Diana, on Themyscira, you only had focus on being a warrior and a princess. But now you're also a superhero, a student, a team leader... and, well actually, here, [pulls out a chart] I made this chart.
The chart pictured Diana balancing different tasks!
Girls: Wow!
Rook: This is indeed great, Karen.
Ben: When did you make this?
Karen: For a while. Oh, hold on...
But then, she unfolded the chart, and it pictured Diana doing even more tasks, including a super long list!
Babs: [reading the list] Soup kictens, volunteer tutoring. Wait, you've been giving our dogs baths?
Kara: That's why Kryto [as she snaps her fingers] stopped smelling like sardines.
That's when Diana spoke up!
Diana: Thank you, Karen. This presentation has been most enlightening. And with Zeus as my witness, I swear to never again spread myself thin.
Ben: Wait, what?
Karen: I'm so glad to hear that. Now you-
Diana: Because from the day forward, I shall only spread myself thicker.
Kara: you shall what now?
Diana: Karen is right. I cannot let a single, yet unforgivably reprehensible, transgression like a me-noose keep me from fufilling my responsibilities. And now that she has streamlined each of my duties for me, I am sure to never again reek of failure.
Karen: N... no. Diana. My chart is supposed to show you that you're maxed out.
Diana: Not for long. [takes out a quill and scroll] I must write to Themyscira at once! [begans writing]
Ben: This might be getting out of hand.
Rook: Indeed.
They all ran outside, and Diana seemed to be standing on a lampost like a bird.
Diana: [mimicking crowing]
Ben: [whistle the cuckoo sound]
Jessica: Uh, you're not sending away for a magical or anything, right?
Diana: Magical shell? Oh, do not be silly.
[hawk screeching]
Diana: I have requested the Mystical Fruit of Hermes. You see, when an Amazon prepare for war, she eats a sacred fruit that grants her boundless energy. And now I shall once again call upon its strength.
Then, a golden fruit dropped down!
Ben and Rook: Huh?
Diana: [chews loudly]
After eating the fruit, Diana gained a confident smile on her face and leaped off from the lampost! She then grabbed Karen's chart!
Diana: [folds the chart] Can't forgot my to-do list. [starts to run off]
Karen: It's not a to-do list. [groans]
The next day, Diana seemed to be doing a science project in the auditorium while giving a speech!
Woman: And now giving the rebuttal from Metropolis High School, Diana Prince.
Diana: In closing, I will simply say this... if we ever hope to grow as a society, we must put ego aside and accept this immutable truth... pineapple has no place on a pizza pie.
[crowd cheering]
Garth: Uh, Diana? Did Science Club really need to meet on the debate stage?
Diana: Yes! Oh, and next week we meet during Gymnastic Regionals, so be sure [tosses a pair of leotards to him] to bring your leotards.
Soon, Diana had started eating more of the strange fruit and started to multiask at everything! She was competing in one of the school's vollyball games while studying for exams!
[buzzer sound]
[vollyball team cheering]
The next day, Diana was jogging with Karen, Kara, and Rook. However, Diana seemed to be jogging in a zigzagging direction!
Rook: Oh dear.
Kara started to get annoyed by this and stopped, suddenly, a giant robot was attacking!
[all screaming]
[robot growls]
Kara: Alright. Let's get to smash-
But then, Wonder Woman started fighting the robot by herself, as she punched its head, sliced off its leg with her sword, and charge through it and ripped out it wires! Then, Wonder Woman punched the across the street and it exploded!
Diana: [running in place] Come on, guys. We don't want to let our hearts rates drop. [runs]
At two in the morning, Babs was sleeping peacefully, but she heard water splashing outside. When she looked outside, Diana was giving Babs' do a bath! Back at the base in the morning, Karen and Ben were looking at the pictures Babs posted online from her phone, as Diana seemed to be lifting a barbell while reading a book.
Diana: [grunting] Eight, nine, two, two, five, six.
Karen: Uh, Diana, you busy?
Diana: [with a crazy look] No, no. I'm just squeezing in a few reps while brushing up on Neruda and reciting pi on its hundredth place.
Ben: I think it's time to take a break, D.
Diana: I need no break!
Karen: So, uh, I couldn't help but notice you've been acting different lately.
Diana: Indeed, I have. Thanks to your chart, I have never been so productive.
Karen: Uh...
Diana: In fact, I've nearly forgotten all about this shamefull and indelible left behind by a conttemptible me-noose.
Karen: About that... You know, a lot of people would be proud of an "A-minus".
Diana: As well they should be. But I must hold myself to a higher higher standard.
Karen: Why?
Diana: Why? Well, you see, because I...
However, Diana seemed too nervous to tell her friends the truth!
Diana: [doing squats] Time for squat cross, Shakespeare, and recitation of the periodic table of elements. [doing pushups while reading a book] One, H, hydrogen.
Ben, Rook, and the others were at Sweet Justice discussing the situation.
Jessica: Guys, I'm really worried about Diana.
Kara: Don't worry. I got a plan to get our Diana back.
Sun Wukong: What's that?
Kara: [knocks the sundea away] [takes out the fruit] We trash these things.
Babs: [she and Wukong picks one of the fruit] Hmm. Are we sure that's the answer? These look harmless [eyes sparkle] and kind of delicious.
Jessica: [as Babs is about to eat the fruit] Uh, Babs, I wouldn't eat-
But it was too late! She already took a bite out of the fruit!
Babs: [chomps]
Suddenly, her eyes widened!
Rook: oh dear.
Zee: Babs? Are we okay?
Babs: [grins] Okay? Yes. [nods] Very okay. Are you guys okay? After all, I'm sitting here watching you bounce all over, unless, of course...
Babs began to bounce all over the walls, literally!
Babs: You're sitting over there and I'm bouncing all over... [bounces around] which come to think of it, makes way more sense! [bounces around all over the place]
Sun Wukong: Really? It's that good? [takes a bite] [chomping]
His eyes sparkles from the fruit, but...
Sun Wukong: I'm not getting it. This isn't anything like my Stone Fruit in my world.
Karen: The fruit's not the problem, guys.
Babs: [bounching around] [whooping]
Karen: Well, not the whole problem. We need to get rid of that chart.
Babs: Of coruse. That makes total sense. Diana is subconsciously using the chart as a way to keep her mind preoccupied in order to avoid having to think about her self-perceived failure. The "A-minus" or me-noose, as she so adorably puts it, it's a classic denial tactic. Side note, the "A" in Babs on my report card was in Psychology! Wazzup!
However, she seemed to be hanging upside down from a ceiling lamp.
Zee: Uh, Babs, honey, you can come down now.
And she flopped to the floor with a goofy smile on her face with her tougne out!
Kara: Okay, so here's the plan. We swipe Karen's stupid to-do list while Diana's not looking.
Jessica: Kara, Diana's the most rational among us. [as Babs starts sneaking the fruit away from the table] If we share our concerns with her with both love and respect, I'm sure she'll hnag over the chart willingly.
However...
Diana: I will hand over no such thing! [hissing like a cat]
Ben: Wow!
Jessica: Okay, she's a bit more obstinate than I thought, but there's one technique... Quick! Karen, [as she transforms into Bumblebee] swipe your stupid to-do list while she's not looking!
But Diana sprang into action and cornered Bumblebee at her side of the base! But just as Diana was about to grab it from her when Green Lantern grabbed it with a green constructed hand and made a run for it while Wonder Woman chases her! And the chase was on! Green Lantern then tossed it to Batgirl and she was playing keep away!
Batgirl: So, first off, sorry about this. Quick question. Does eating the fruit always leave this weird after taste? It's like something in between hickory, the color mauve and time itself.
Wonder Woman: Give me what is rightfully mine! [as Batgirl throws it towards Zatanna]
Zatanna: You can have it, if you can figure which one it is. [speaks incantation, making four duplicates]
But Wonder Woman managed to figure out which one it was by using her sword!
Zatanna: I am so taking that spell out of the rotation! [passes it to Projectionist]
Projectionist then created hard light constructs of himself and the papers.
Projectoinist: [all clones] Try to find the right one holding the paper!
Soon, Wonder Woman manage to beat the clones leaving the original Projectionist standing there. He then passed it over to Supergirl, who was nervous! Wonder Woman then charged at her like a bull, but then, with redirection from Bumblebee, Supergirl tossed it to her and was about to drop it into the garbage truck!
Wonder Woman: This has gone on long enough, Karen!
Bumblebee: Diana, I'm sorry. I thought this chart would help you see that in the big picture, getting a dumb minus isn't a big deal. I mean, look at what you're doing to yourself, to us, and why? Because you can't accept that something you did wasn't perfect?
That made Wonder Woman turn away from Bumblebee!
Bumblebee: You know, since we met, I've made a lot of mistakes. But you're always the first to tell me that it's okay. Now, after all this, I finally realized that no one has ever said the same is okay not to be perfect. Because no matter what, you're still an amazing hero, leader, student and, most importantly, friend.
Wonder Woman was touched by this and started to cry, but then she looked at all her friends and wiped away the tears!
Wonder Woman: [hugs Bumblebee] Thank you, Karen.
Bumblebee: [gives Wonder Woman the chart] I think you know what to do with this.
She took the chart and tossed it into the garbage truck! Then, they all pulled the lever!
Wonder Woman: Thank you, ststers and brothers. Never again shall I let any me-noose come in between us.
They all did a big group hug, but then they smelled something bad!
Monkey King: [smells the smell] [holding his breath]
Zatanna: Uh, guys? Any chance we could move this end-of-a-hard-learned-lesson hug a few feet upwind?
As they moved away from the garbage truck, Kara's dog, Krypto, came out of the dumpster, covered in sardines!
Krypto: [yelps] [licks himself] [barks] [dives into the trash]
Meanwhile, in another universe, Azure Lion, Peng, Yellowtusk, and Warwick were looking around the strange world they were in.
Peng: [gets bit on the neck] [slaps his neck] [grunts]
Turns out, it was a fly with a rocking horse body that bit Peng's neck.
Peng: [to Azure Lion] Are you sure we'll find her here in this nightmare of a land?
Azure Lion: I'm sure of it, she landing somewhere in the Ever After.
Yellowtusk: [sees someone] Can you tell us what she looks like again?
Azure Lion: Well, she has pink and black eyes and hair, kinda like a female chap. Why?
Yellowtusk: 'Cause I see her.
Turns out, the one person they were looking for was the enemy of RWBY was Neopolitan, or Neo!
Yellowtusk: She doesn't look that strong.
Azure Lion: If she can fight a hunter, she is more then capable of joining us. I'll go first, so that she won't be scared. [walks towards her]
Neo: [hears something] [sees Azure Lion] [gasp]
Azure Lion: Don't be afraid friend. I won't hurt you.
Neo: [comes towards Azure Lion slowly]
Azure Lion: Yes, that's it, come closer. I won't harm you. I am Azure Lion, and you must be Neo. Right?
Neo: [nods]
Azure Lion: [grunts] Come out, brothers.
Then Peng, Yellowtusk, and Warwick came from their hiding spot.
Azure Lion: This are my friends, Neo. Golden Peng, Yellowtusk the Wise, and Warwick.
Neo then changes into Yellowtusk.
Peng: Wow! She can become anyone she sees. [to Neo] Do me.
Neo: [transforms into Peng]
Peng: [chuckles] Like looking at a mirror.
Neo (Peng): [tilts her head]
Peng: Not really a talker, huh.
Azure Lion: [as Neo changes back] Not really. But she is a good person.
Neo: [smiles]
She then creates a duplicate of herself.
Azure Lion: Well, that's new. But there's no time for you showing your tricks, [opens portal] time to go to our target.
Neo: [transforms into Ruby]
Azure Lion: No, not her. The only one who can give me the power to rule the Multiverse!
