Disclaimer: I do not own Ben Ten this is just a story for fun.
On Galvan Prime two Plumbers were escorting a handcuffed Albedo from a medical bay to a holding cell. The rogue Galvan scientist glared at the energy cuffs around his wrist. They were specifically designed to keep from from transforming and attacking his escorts. Albedo had been going through a lot of medical procedures even since the incident with the Cassiopeian Dream Eater. Albedo shuddered at the memory, he had tried to use the creature to get revenge on Ben, but do to a slight mishap Albedo had ended up with the Dream Eater on his head that plunged him into a horrible nightmare, where he was attacked by Ben's alien heroes.
Albedo silently cursed Ben's name as he caught a look of his reflection in a nearby window. The face was Ben's face only it had silver hair and red eyes, oh how Albedo hated that face.
"Ben is that you?" Asked a female voice.
Albedo turned around to see a blond girl in a grey and black jumpsuit. The girl approached Albedo and his escorts.
"What happen to you Ben? Are you in some kind if trouble?" Asked the girl.
Albedo had no idea, who this girl was, but perhaps he could use her as some kind of distraction to escape. Before he could say anything Myaxx walked in on the scene.
"Don't be fooled Eunice. That guys not Ben. His a Galvan named Albedo, he used to be Azmuth's assistant, but now his a criminal." Said Myaxx.
"Why dose he look like Ben?" Asked Eunice.
"He tried to recreate the Omintrix. Then the Omnitrix he made synced itself with Ben causing his default form to resemble Ben. Albedo tried to steal Ben's Omintrix there was a huge surge of energy that corrupted his image making look like the way he is now." Explained Myaxx.
"That's crazy." Said Euince.
"Yep. Guy was playing around with fire and he got burned. Now his a criminal." Said Myaxx.
That angered Albedo.
"Watch who you call criminal you idiotic cephalopod! I'm one of the smartest beings in the universe! I have an intelligence that rivals Azmuth's intelligence!" Shouted Albedo.
Eunice just looked at Albedo stunned, he looked and sound like Ben, but he definitely wasn't Ben.
"Well if your so smart how come you've lost to Ben four times?" Asked Myaxx.
"It was three times, the fourth time didn't really count. He just got lucky." Said Albedo.
"You just keep telling yourself that." Said Myaxx as she turned to Eunice. "I have some fresh DNA samples I need you to sort out in the lab."
"Ok I'll get right on that. Goodbye Albedo. It...was interesting meeting you." Said Eunice as she walked away.
Myaxx turned back to Albedo.
"Azmuth wants to have a few words with you." She said as she lead the group down the hallway.
A few minutes they stopped in front of a large metal door. There was a click and it parted open. Azmuth stepped out. Albedo glanced through the door and saw a sword surround by a glowing shield floating above the ground. The door closed and the sword was lost from view. Albedo turned his attention to Azmuth.
"Hello Albedo. I see you've fully recovered from your recent failure." Said Azmuth.
"It was an accident! Ben just got lucky." Protested Albedo.
"There you go again blaming someone else for your misfortune. Honestly Albedo I had such high hopes for you, then you went behind my back and created that other Omintrix. When your Omintrix synced with Ben and his form became your default form you tried to steal Ben's Omintrix. Then you stole the Ultimatrix and helped Vilgax steal the Omintrix from Ben! Honestly you've completely have lost my respect." Said Azmuth.
Albedo went nuts.
"Don't you talk down to me like I'm some kind of child!" He shouted.
"Have you looked in a mirror recently?" Teased Myaxx.
Azmuth shot a look Myaxx before turning back to Albedo.
"You will be held here for awhile until a proper punishment and sentence is given. Hopeful you will take this time to reconsider your past actions and try to make some attempt to reform." Said Azmuth as he turned around. "Take him to his holding cell."
The two Plumbers dragged Albedo down to a holding cell and tossed him in. The energy cuffs vanished as the cell door closed. Albedo tried to transform, but couldn't. There was some energy being pumped into the cell to keep him from transforming. Albedo cursed his luck and sat down on his bunch. He began thinking of ways to escape and get revenge.
On Earth a group of men were meeting in a warehouse. There was a man with dark hair and glasses wearing a red robe and about forty men they wearing black suits with red skirts, bracelets and scarfs. The men also had yellow tattoos with flame designs on their chest and face. These men were all that was left of the cult known as the Flame Keeper's Circle. The cult had suffered a major setback when their former leader was killed and their deity was imprisoned in a sword and taken away from them.
The current leader of the cult was named Steven, he had taken the place of leader ever since the cult's last leader Edwards was killed. Steven stood before the forty Esotericas and prepared to tell them his plan. After several months of research and the hacking of a few Plumber computers Steven had concluded that the sword that imprisoned Diagon was no longer on Earth, but on another planet. A little more research told Steven that the hero known as Ben Ten gave the sword to a being called Azumth an alien that hailed from a planet called Galvan Prime.
That presented a problem the cult had no knowledge of obtaining or piloting a space ship. Even if they did find a space ship to steal it would get the attention of authorities or worse Ben and his group. So that only left the option of dimensional traveling. The technology the cult used to do that was limited and didn't go that far. Even if they did make it to Galvan Prime the place that the sword was kept was probably heavily fortified. The Flame Keeper's Circle needed help them travel and help get through what even defenses that were put up to protect the sword.
Steven had gone through the criminal files on the Plumbers database and came across a man named Hex, who a powerful magician that hailed from a dimension know as Ledgerdomain. The cult would use Hex to navigate through the dimensional plains and get the sword.
Steven stepped forward to deliver his speech.
"Brothers of the Flame Keeper's Circle after months of hardship I have located the place where our master is being kept, he is on another planet!" Shouted Steven.
The cultist all murmured and cursed. Steven raised a hand to silence them.
"Do not despair my brothers, for I have devised a plan to travel there. We will seek the aid of a magician named Hex to help us travel through the dimensional plains and reach the planet our master is being held prisoner on. We will free him and bring a new age of prosperity to the universe! By Diagon's will we will succeed!" Declared Steven
The cultist cheered at this. Steven smiled in triumph. A few minutes latter Steven lead his men out of the warehouse and towards the address, where Hex was currently living.
To be continued.
