Disclaimer: I do not own Ben Ten this is just a story for fun.
Hex sat in his mansion reading one of his spell books. The powerful magician no longer cared for conquering the world after his plans had been thwarted by Ben and Gwen. Hex was contempt with just staying in his mansion. His niece Charmcaster had returned to their home dimension Ledgerdomain leaving Hex alone. Hex missed his niece, but he was afraid of what he might find if he went there looking for Charmcaster. Hex cringed slightly at the thought of losing another family member. It was then that some sixth sense warned him that there were intruders in his home. Hex reached for his staff that was laying nearby, when all of a sudden several men suddenly appeared out of thin air around Hex! One of them grabbed Hex's staff and delivered a punch to Hex's face knocking him back into his chair.
"Greetings Hex. Pardon the intrusion, but we've heard that you have a tendency to attack intruders on sight." Said a man wearing a red robe as he appeared in front of Hex.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Demanded Hex.
"We are the Flame Keeper's Circle. I am their leader Conduit Steven. We have come asking for your assistance. You will help us travel through the dimensional plains to get to an alien world. We know that the realm known as Ledgerdomain is the best rout to go." Said Steven.
"I will not help you. That dimension is home to a powerful evil being named Adwaita, he will destroy us once we enter Ledgerdomain. I will not return to that dimension and be killed by that monster! Do whatever you want to me, I won't help you!" Said Hex as he glared at Steven.
"Very well you've made your choice. Thanks for the information, will just take some of your spell books and be on our way." Said Steven before ordering his men to start grabbing books.
Hex angrily protested, but Steven fired an energy blast at Hex hitting him in the chest and knocking him to the ground in a heap. Hex laid on the ground his chest moved up and down confirming he was still alive. Steven and his troops grabbed a bunch of spell books and left the mansion.
"If Hex will not help us perhaps we can convince this Adwaita person to help us." Thought Steven as he studied one of the spell books back at the warehouse.
Steven found something that caught his eye. It was a spell called Yahwahtacsip. According to the book it was a spell that opened the Door To Anywhere, which lead to Ledgerdomain. Steven even had found what he needed, he summoned his troops and recited the spell.
"Yahwahtacsip!" Shouted Steven.
There was a flash of purple light and a large door appeared before the cult. An evil grin spread across Steven's face. He called upon the rest of the cult and showed them the door.
"My brothers here is they door that will reunite us with Diagon! We will seek the aid of Adwaita and we will join forces with him. Together we will free Diagon and bring forth a glorious new age!" Declared Steven.
The cultist cheered, went into the portal and vanished.
In Limbo Eon and Kevin 11,000 watched a view screen that showed the Flame Keeper's circle vanish into Ledgerdomain.
"And so the players are on the move." Said Eon.
"You still haven't told me what your big plan is." Complained Kevin 11,000.
"Patience Kevin. All shall be revealed shortly. I just need to make a couple of little moves to make sure everything goes according to plan." Said Eon as he teleported away.
In Ledgerdomain Charmcaster sat on her throne in her castle looking board and sad. A few yards away from her on a pedestal sat the Alpha Rune. On Charmcaster's lap was the mask of Michael Morningstar.
A lot had happen to Charmcaster in the past several months. First she was asked by her old enemy Gwen to take her to Ledgerdomain and prevent a powerful villain named Aggregor from stealing the Alpha Rune from Adwaita. Charmcaster agree to help Gwen and the rest of her team. After a long battle through Ledgerdomain they faced Adwaitia. They battle him for a while, but Aggregor showed up and stole the Alpha Rune. Charmcaster helped Gwen and her team escape, but stayed behind to deal with Adwaitia. Some time latter the Alpha Rune returned and Charmcaster used it to dethrone Adwaita and become the new ruler of Ledgerdomain. It was then that Charmcaster came up with a plan to bring her father Spellbinder back to life. She built a massive device to drain all the the life from Ledgerdomain to preform a magical ritual. Gwen and her team showed and tried to stop her, but their souls were sucked out and the ritual was preformed. Spellbinder reappeared before his daughter. Charmcaster told her father how she brought him back, but that only seemed to horrify him. Spellbinder told Charmcaster he couldn't stay at the cost of so many souls that were sacrificed to bring him back. He told Charmcaster that he loved her, before fading away, making the ritual null and void and returning all souls back to where they belong. Charmcaster broke down crying, not knowing what to do with her life now. Gwen and her team left Charmcaster alone and returned to Earth.
It was a few months latter that a mysterious young masked man named Michael Morningstar showed up in Legerdomain. When Charmcaster took off his mask and saw his face, she was immediately captivated by his good looks. For a little while the two of them got along quit well. Michael was the first boy Charmcaster had ever followed in love with. After awhile Michael said he need to return to return to Earth to settle an old score with his enemies. Charmcaster told Michael her real name was Hope and put a rune on his hand that would give him energy from Legerdomain and allow to travel back and forth between Legerdomain and Earth. Michael left, but soon returned saying that his power had been cut off. A few minutes latter Gwen and her group showed up revealing themselves to be Michael's enemies, much to Charmcaster's shock. Michael and Charmcaster battled Gwen and her group. Gwen told Charmcaster that Michael was evil and vain and that he was only using her to get more power. Charmcaster refused to believe Gwen, but then she asked Michael to call her by her real name to prove that he loved her. Michael called her Heather and proved that he really didn't care about her. Charmcaster teleported Gwen and her group out of Legerdomain and then she sucked the magical power out of Michael reverting him to his true ugly form. Charmcaster then kicked Michael out of Legerdomain and handed him over to Gwen and her group.
In the time that followed Charmcaster had sunk into a lonely depression. She was board and had no real goals she want to accomplish. She could go looking for Adwaita and torture him, but she had no idea what hole he was hiding in and she really didn't feel like looking to hard. Charmcaster looked at the helmet in her lap and came up with an idea. She would create herself a companion to keep her company. Finally she would have someone intelligent to talk to. Charmcaster grabbed a spell book and a piece of chalk.
"Time for a little special magic." Said Charmcaster as she drew a circle with mystical symbols in it.
She then put the helmet in the the center of the circle and stepped out. Charmcaster then pulled out a needle and pricked her finger drawing a couple of drops of blood onto the circle. The circle started glowing and the helmet levitated into the air. Charmcaster started to shout a spell as several bits of rocks circled the helmet forming a body underneath it. There was a flash of light and a new figure appeared before Charmcaster. The figure wore an outfit similar to Michael, but his was a purple shirt, with gold boots and cloth. The figure wore Micael's helmet, but glowing purple eyes glowed with the slits. The figure removed it's helmet revealing a handsome face that slightly resembled Michael's face with chalk white skin, purple eyes and neat gold and silver hair.
"Thank you oh wonderful queen Hope for this gift called life and for gracing me with your beautiful presence." Said the figure.
"Your welcome...I need to give you a name." Said Charmcaster as she thought about what to name her new creation. A few seconds latter she had the perfect name. "You shall be called Midknight."
"I thank you for the name my queen." Said Midknight.
"I have a feeling that I'm going to enjoy having you around." Thought Charmcaster with a friendly smile.
In another part of Legerdomain Steven and the Flame Keeper's Circle were making their through the dimension. So far they had encountered a few stone creatures, but the cult made quick work of them. They saw a large castle like building and made their way towards it. They were passing a large canyon of rocks, when they sensed that they were being watched. In a cave in the canyon Adwaita watched the cultist. The former ruler of Legerdomain was a sad sight. He was still powerful in magic, but he was a pale shadow of the ruler he once was, when he lost the Alpha Rune to Charmcaster. The former ruler was brooding and scheming, when he caught sight of the cultist walking through the canyon. Not knowing, who they were Adwaita decided to attack them. He created a magical ball of energy and hurled it down the canyon. It landed in front of the cultist and made them scatter. Adwaita jumped down and landed in front of them.
"Who dares trespass in Adwaita's domain?" Demanded Adwaitia as took a fighting pose.
A men wearing glasses and a red robe stepped forward.
"Mighty Adwaita my name is Conduit Steven. We are the Flame Keeper's Circle. We do not mean to trespass on your domain. We have come to ask you for your aid in helping us free our master Diagon, who will greatly reward you if you help us." Said Steven.
The name Diagon caught Adwaita's attention. He knew the god like being by another name. The other name was Old One. Adwaita thought about the power he could receive if he helped free Diagon. The power of the Alpha Rune would be minuscule compared to the power Adwaita would receive from Diagon. Adwaitia thought about this, he consider the type of prison that the Diagon was being held would be heavily fortified. Adwaitia would need something like the Alpha Rune to aid him, he turned to the cultist a plan forming in his mind.
"I will assist you, but I need your help to retrieve something that belongs to me." Said Adwaitia.
"Very well. We will help you get what is yours." Said Steven.
Adwaitia smiled with the thought of all the power he would soon be getting.
On Earth at Gwen's house Eon had just teleported into Gwen's room. The villain walked over to a nearby desk, opened a door, and pulled out Gwen's spell book. Eon flipped through the pages and found the page he was looking for, he put a book marker on the page, closed the book, and put the the book on the desk.
"Funny how the little things can lead to huge events." Thought Eon as he teleported away.
A few minutes after Eon teleported away a girl who looked like Gwen with black hair dressed in a purple shirt and purple pants flew in through the window. The girl's name was Sunny and she was Gwen's Anodite cousin. Sunny was here for a little revenge on Gwen for ruining her and Antonio's fun last time they were on Earth. Sunny looked around the room for something important to wreck, when her eyes landed on the spell book on the desk.
"Oh what's this a diary?" Asked Sunny gleefully as she picked it up and opened it. "Yahwahtacsip." She read.
There was a flash of light and a strange stone door with symbols on it appeared in front of Sunny. Sunny starred at the door in shock for a few seconds, before approaching it and walking through it. Sunny found herself in a strange world of floating rocks and a purple sky. Sunny felt her power greatly increase in this odd dimension. Sunny said the spell again and returned to Gwen's room. Sunny felt pleased with herself, she had discovered a different dimension that she could escape to that greatly increased her power.
"Man I have got to bring Antonio to that place, he'll just love it." Said Sunny as she flew out of the window.
Inside his ship Eon watched everything proceed. Almost all the pieces were set into motion. Soon the Eon's goal would be reached.
To be continued.
