A Universal problem
Ben 23 was currently in a training session with Azmuth, right now he was watching different video clips of aliens and trying to determine good from bad and when and how to handle the situation he watched as an alien shoved several aliens to the side to make his way to the front of the line "I should stop him at the front and tell him kindly to not push and go to the back of the line" he said
"good, and if he refuses?"
"persuade him to go back by telling him that I will take him into custody"
"yes that's a very good form of persuasion" Azmuth was about to show him another clip when a swirling vortex appeared and a steam punk looking man walked out followed by and older version of Gwen and a normal looking older Ben stepped out
"where are we?" Gwen 10 asked
"this would be Universe 23" the man said
"time walker, what business may I assist you with" Azmuth asked
"I regret to inform you that someone is planning on eliminating every Omnitrix user across the multiverse"
"and I take it you require this Ben's assistance in the matter?"
"indeed, that is of course he is willing to help us"
"of course I'll help that's what being a hero is all about" Ben 23 said
"excellent, now come along time is of the essence"
"just a minute time walker I happen to know of another Ben who could greatly assist you all in this little dilemma" Azmuth said with a smile.
Meanwhile
Ben was now walking home with Ship perched on his shoulder, while normally he would ether teleport or fly home, because it was so nice out he had decided to walk, earlier though he had encountered Eon who had asked him to join him in wiping out all of the good Omnitrix users but with a punch and a kick Ben had sent him packing. Throughout the rest of the day he had been expecting Paradox to show up but so far nothing else had happened, as he neared his home a swirling blue vortex appeared in front of him before Paradox, a younger version of Gwen, a normal version of himself, and Ben 23 exited "my word I wasn't expecting there to be a Benjamin like you" Paradox said
"judging by that statement am I to assume that you are a Paradox from another Universe?" Ben said
"my you are very perceptive"
"and judging by the fact you have 3 Omnitrix users Eon was successful in recruiting other Omnitrix users from a cross the multiverse"
"impressive master Tennyson, I assume Eon made you an offer to join him"
"yeah but he left after I almost punched his lights out, so B23 how are things in your universe going?"
"better than ever thanks to you...I'm sorry I have to do this" and he hugged him
"it's okay, but if you start kissing me then we'll have a problem"
"dude what happened to you?" Ben Prime asked
"lots of things, why do you ask?" Ben replied casually
"I meant with you head and arm"
"it'll take more time to explain then we've got left so we'd better continue"
"wow this Ben actually has a brain" Gwen 10 said
"well put master Tennyson, off we go then" Paradox said as he opened up another portal Ben 23 let go of Ben and they all walked through it.
When they exited it they found themselves in what looked like an ether alien or futuristic city "where are we" Ben asked
"this is the galactic headquarters of Ben 10,000" Paradox explained
"so did Julie let you borrow Ship or something" Ben Prime asked
"Julie? I hope I never see the b-(looks at Gwen 10 and Ben 23) that witch again"
"bad break up?"
"break up? we never even got together"
"then why do you hate her so much?"
"she rejected my offer of a second date in the absolute meanest way possible"
"seriously? You hate this girl just because she didn't go out on another date with you? That's a pretty stupid reason" Gwen 10 said
"she rejected my second offer while also saying that no one could ever love me because of the way I look as well as that I have the Omnitrix"
"oh now that's a reason for you to hate her"
"yeah but I proved her wrong, I've now been dating a girl for almost 9 months now"
"really and who would that be?" Ben Prime asked
"Sludgie" and in a flash he turned into a Lenopan before morphing into Ester "hi there my names Ester, it a pleasure to meet you" he said while shaking Gwen's hand before turning back into Sludgie and then back to normal after touching the Omnitrix symbol
"dude, you have Master Control!?" Ben Prime asked in amazement
"yeah, why don't you?"
"no, Azmuth said he'd do it for me for possibly my 18th birthday"
"lucky you"
before Gwen 10 could ask any questions about Ester they all arrived in a control room where they could see a man at the console.
The man turned around to look at them "Paradox?" Ben 10,000 said
"hello Ben" Paradox replied
Ben 10,000 looked at his counterparts "let me guess, some kind of cross time doom's day threat that only wearers of the Omnitrix can stop"
"looks like this Ben has a brain as well"
"dweeb" Ben's Prime, 23 and 10,000 said
"well then let's get started" Ben 10,000 started before he turned his younger self into Clockwork
"so what should I do as Clockwork?" Clockwork asked
"actually because Eon is another version of Ben he may sense the resulting Sotobro Effect" Paradox said
"Sotobro Effect?" Ben 23 questioned
"a sort of ripple in the time stream that Clockwork causes when he uses his powers"
"then we'd better not risk it (turns back into Ben) if Eon and Vilgax suspect anything they may change their plans" Ben Prime said
"Vilgax! He's still...oh wait it must be the Vilgax from your time line" Ben said while looking at Ben Prime
"yeah, I take it something happened to your Vilgax?"
"right, let me just tell my son (turns around to the console) Kenny I just need to run an errand" Ben 10,000 said and Ken just gave him a thumbs up
"wow, you and I have kids with two completely different people" Ben said getting a questioning look from his older counterpart.
Soon they were all ready "okay now the universe we're about to enter is the universe where both Vilgax and Eon now have all of the bad Ben's as well as home to the only Ben across the multiverse has never even heard of the Omnitrix, right now he has just had his first encounter with Bad Ben and is currently running away from him" Paradox said before he opened up a portal and everyone walked through now finding themselves at an abandoned army base "Ben Prime could you do us a favour and retrieve your watch less counterpart before he is destroyed"
"you can count on me" he replied before he turned into Astrodactyl "I'll be back"
"hold it" Ben started "I'll get him I'm a lot faster than you" and before anyone could say anything else Ben disappeared
"I was actually just going to open a portal for you to go and retrieve him" Paradox said
"oh well that would be easier"
"but seeing as how that Ben has the ability to teleport anywhere in an instant I suppose he's-"
Meanwhile
No Watch Ben was running for his life from two people who had turned into monsters, after running down another ally he ran around a corner and stopped for a breather "tough day huh?" he turned his head and saw another Ben, he was about to run when the other Ben grabbed him and pulled him back
"why are you doing this to me?" he asked now cowering in fear
"look I'm here to help you"
"oh and why should I trust you?" before Frankenstrike appeared on one end of the ally and Ultimate Humungousaur appeared on the other
"let me answer that with another question who would you rather take your chances with me or them?" No Watch Ben screamed and clamped onto his counterpart "not the response I was waiting for but okay" and in an instant he disappeared
Back with the other's
The two Ben's reappeared "-just as fast"
"okay you can let go of me now, you're safe" Ben replied making No Watch Ben let go
"okay who are you all, where am I, and what's going on?" he asked
"my my so many questions with such little time, I suppose I'll start with introductions; Professor Paradox at your service" he said and they shook hands "and these are different versions of yourself from across the multiverse"
"huh?"
"I suppose to explain that better as well as your last question you'll need to brush up on quantum mechanics and string theory" a hologram of space with multiple Earth's floating around appeared in the large storage shed "There are many dimension, many Universes, many Earths, and thus many Ben Tennysons across those dimensions, dimensions which are not always in sync in time."
"is that all? (Chuckles) I totally get what's going on now"
a holographic tree grew from the floor making No Watch Ben gasp in surprise "think of time and space as this tree. Down here is when you were 10 years old. Right here is now. Up here is when you'll be 30 years old. The trunk is the main timeline. These branches represent alternate timelines, where reality literally branches off and becomes a different timeline, each containing its own Ben Tennyson"
"Make sense now?" Ben Prime asked
"not even a little bit"
"wow even this Ben doesn't have a brain" Gwen 10 said making No Watch frown
"then think about it like this have you ever had to make a decision between doing two things" Ben asked
"yeah"
"well in this universe you did the choice you made where as in another universe that parallels this one you chose all of the other options; for example in this universe you were wondering whether to have cereal or toast for breakfast, in this universe you chose to have cereal where as in the parallel universe you decided to have toast, understand?"
"yeah I do now that makes more sense to me"
"well put master Tennyson, the problem is two people by the names of Vilgax and Eon are working their way through the branches, kidnapping all the different Ben's throughout space and time."
"these guys weren't trying to kidnap me. they were trying to wipe me out." No Watch Ben said
"there is something unusual about you or, more specifically, something usual about your wrist"
"all of the other Ben's had that freaky watch"
"The Omnitrix. Every Ben Tennyson throughout space and time has had his fate intertwined with that of the Omnitrix. you, however, as well as Gwen 10's Ben, have not" before he could say anything more a grenade was thrown in
"get down!" Ben Prime called out but before it could go off Ben grabbed it in his cybernetic and held it out in front of him letting it detonate in his hand shielding everyone from the blast
"weak" he said dropping the fragments on the ground he heard a chorus of dude's and wows behind him "well looks like this party is about to get started" Ben said and he started to walk out of the hole only to bump into Eon who took a few steps back in shock
"they recruited you!" Eon said
"yeah so are you going to give up or do I have to beat you to a bloody pulp"
"I'm actually well prepared to beat you this time" he said before Ben sent him tumbling back with a light flick to the chest
"yeah bet you weren't prepared for that" he called out as Eon came to a stop. As he walked out into the open he looked around and saw multiple different Ben's including a Ben that looked exactly like him only with a psychopathic look on his face "oh dear god" he muttered as the good Ben's and Gwen 10 came up behind him.
Ben watched as Eon got back up and he started to walk over to the one being he hated the most, Vilgax "so many evil me's" No watch Ben said
""Evil" is relative" Bad Ben said
"not to mention offensive" Albedo added
"I don't care what he calls me" Mad Ben said cracking his knuckles
"(Scoffs) Lame" Nega Ben said as he got up
"it was a long process, assembling Ben Tennysons from all over the multiverse, but we had plenty of time" Eon said
"you, however, do not" Vilgax said
Ben stepped forward "hmm lets see we have a guy who thinks black hair is the new brown, an Aussie with a Mohawk, an emo, a zombie, a psychopath, a medieval knight (Sir Ben), and my Albedo you've gotten so much cuter since the last time I saw you" Ben said making Albedo go red with anger "however I seem to have noticed that we're at a slight disadvantage due to that Ben not having an Omnitrix so I'm sure one of you Ben's would gladly give him yours right?" he said the response he got was a chorus of laughter from the evil Ben's
"dude did you really expect one of them to give you their Omnitrix?" Ben Prime asked
"nah I just thought I'd throw the offer out there before I do this" he then turned back to the evil Ben's "now who should I take an Omnitrix from, lets see eenie meenie minnie...you!" he then shot forward and was now holding Albedo up by his left arm with his organic arm
"hey let go of me" he demanded and he punched and kicked Ben with absolutely no effect
"okay squirt here's whats gonna happen, you're going to decouple your Ultimatrix and willingly give it to me"
"and why on Earth would I do that?"
"or else I will break this arm and then tear it off"
"pfft yeah right as if you could 1. do that and 2. would do that"
"I warned yah" and everyone heard a loud crunching followed by Albedo screaming in pure agony "now one last chance decouple your Ultimatrix or else I'll tear this arm off"
"okay! okay! I'll do it! I'll do it" and he said the proper code making the Ultimatrix expand "g-g-go on t-t-take it" he said in great pain, Ben took it off and dropped Albedo making him scream in pain again as his shattered forearm bent at a 45 degree angle, Ben then twisted his ring finger on his cybernetic hand and looked at Albedo
"give me your broken arm now" Albedo quickly did what he said not wanting to risk having another bone broken Ben then, surprisingly, gently held Albedo's broken arm with his organic hand and then used his healing beam on it's wide setting to completely heal his shattered arm in seconds "what? you think I'd just leave a kid with a shattered arm?" Ben asked and as soon as Albedo's arm was healed
"I'm not a kid!" Albedo said firmly
"are you sure (Ben clenched his cybernetic hand into a fist and sparks flew around it) because kids are one of the only things I won't kill"
"okay I'm a kid"
"good answer" Ben then stood up and walked back over to the good Omnitrix users.
"dude, I can't believe you just did that to a child" Ben 23 said
"he's actually a bad 500 year old alien stuck in the form of a 11 year old us" Ben replied casually
"he's actually right about that" Ben Prime confirmed as Ben walked over to his No Watch counterpart he then grabbed his left hand and slid the Ultimatrix onto it. they then saw it retract and go from red to green
"okay Ultimatrix crash course 101, you select an alien like this, you press here to activate it and then you press this down" and in a flash he turned into Four Arms
"whoa who's this guy?"
"Four Arms, basically he has super strength, but for a bonus" he then whacked the Ultimatrix symbol and in another flash he became Ultimate Four Arms "that's the Ultimate function on the Ultimatrix"
"why are you just standing around for kill them!" Vilgax yelled causing the evil Ben's to snap out of their shock and begin attacking the good Ben's and Gwen.
Ship turned into its armour form and began fighting while Ben made his way over to Vilgax who pulled out his sword "hold it before we fight I just want to see a look on your face"
"and what kind of look would that be?" Vilgax asked, Ben responded by lifting up the sleeve on his organic arm and then took a picture of the absolutely shocked look on Vilgax's face "you're a Space Demon!?"
"yep I was offered your position after I killed you" that was actually a lie but he didn't have to know that "technically I don't even need to transform to beat you but just for the sake of joining in, Kickin Hawk" and in a flash he turned into said alien before kicking Vilgax in the stomach sending him flying back "lets see, where did that evil version of me go?" before ducking as a blade of energy nearly decapitated him "okay he's over there" he said and he ran off.
He found his doppelganger slashing at a pink feminine looking Goop "why you not die" he said with his sword fingers repeatedly slicing through her
"man your dumb, you haven't realised yet that im just a pile of goo" she said before something shot past her and stopped behind the Ben attacking, Mecha Ben stopped attacking and fell face first on the ground.
Gwen 10's Omnitrix then timed out turning her back to normal "wow you knocked this guy out with one hit" she said
"yeah you can knock anyone out with one hit if you hit them in the right spot"
"I think this guy needs his head examined, he was a total nutcase"
"that of which I intend to do" Ben said before the fingers on his cybernetic hand turned into various tools he then pried open Mecha Ben's head and began doing some "brain surgery" "you'd better go this might get graphic" Gwen 10 nodded and left to fight another Ben while Ben worked on removing the mind control device from his doppelganger's head.
Gwen 10 arrived to see Ultimate Four Arms fighting, or rather pounding, an alien that looked like Frankenstein's monster "wow this is actually a lot of fun" Ultimate Four Arms slammed Farankenzarro to the ground and then jumped up in the air ready to drive two elbows into his back only to turn back into Four Arms and back to normal before landing on Frankenzarro's back "oh crud" he said as Frankenzarro got back up
"me smash you" he said as he reared an arm back only for Ultimatrix Ben to disappear in a blur "huh?" looking to the side he saw a feminine version of his fast lizard-like alien holding his target
"phew that was a close one, thanks Gwen" Ultimatrix Ben said
"don't mention it" Gwen 10 replied as she put him back on his feet before she began running around Frankenzarro rapidly jabbing his legs with her claws, ending the assault by giving him a tail whip to the face knocking him to the ground. Gwen gave Ultimatrix Ben a triumphant look before she ran off, looking at his Ultimatrix he saw that it now glowed green, activating it he went through several silhouettes until he just picked one at random, in a flash he turned into Diamondhead
"okay let's see what this guy can do" he said as Frankenzarro started to get up. Diamondhead thrust his hand out at Frankenzarro and was surprised as crystals flew out of his hand and struck his target hard "awesome" he said and he kept firing crystals forcing Frankenzarro to retreat "lets see if the others need help" he said and he began following the explosions.
Ben 23 now as Mr. Mucky (Swampfire) was fighting against Bad Ben who had turned into Bad Arctiguana and the two were now throwing fire and ice attacks at each other Mr. Mucky put both hands out in front of himself and fired a stream of fire at Bad Arctiguana who countered with a freeze ray both cancelling each other out and covered the area in a thick mist. Several thuds were heard followed by Bad Arctiguana flying out of the mist "score 1 for the good guys" Mr. Mucky said as he exited the mist only to have bandages wrap around him tightly and he began to get spun around while crashing through the surrounding buildings. As he was spun he saw that the bandages belonged to Benmummy (Snare-oh), making 2 balls of fire in his hands the bandages burst into flames and he was free in second, unfortunately due to the momentum he was sent rolling and tumbling along the ground until he came to a stop, he started to get back up only to have Mad Rath land on him
"let me tell you something Ben Tennyson who has fused two of his aliens together, I'm going tear you to pieces, put them back together, and then tear them up again!" he said before Fourmungousaur grabbed him and hurled him into a building just as Mr. Mucky turned back to normal
"awe man" Ben 23 said as he got back up and looked around at all of the explosions happening and fighting around him "man you could make a movie out of all of this or at least a 2 part episode" he said with a grin, once his Omnitrix began glowing blue he then turned into Speedyquick and ran off.
Ben Prime, now as Humungousaur, was now facing off against Sir Ben "so I take it you decided to use the sword's power along with Diagon's, rather than give it up"
"indeed, I have eliminated many of foe using these power's and I continue using it to cleanse the universe of evil, even if that means taking down anyone who will prevent me from doing so"
"what happened to Gwen, Kevin, and Julie that night"
"they tried to prevent me from using these powers so they all met their demise that night"
"then tell me why are you helping Eon and Vilgax if you're so against evil"
"with their help I shall be able to travel to other universes and cleanse the evil within them, then as soon as my quest is completed I shall vanquish them both"
'I'm really glad I gave up all of their power back then'
"and if I have to eliminate you and all of these other Ben's to complete my quest then so be it, have at thee" Sir Ben then swung his sword and a light blue arc of energy came out and struck Humungousaur in the chest sending him flying back and crashing into a building before his Omnitrix timed out, Sir Ben he then spun the sword around that made a whirlwind which caught Ben Prime and sent him spinning around while being cut and bombarded with debris from the building he had crashed into. The whirlwind only stopped when Sir Ben was knocked over by Nega Bloxx, when he got back up he aimed his sword at Nega Bloxx and blew him to pieces before turning his attention back to Ben Prime who was now back on his feet and had turned into Whampire
"time vor zeh zecond round" he said before he charged at his opponent.
Ship was running from one fight to another helping out in any way it could, as Ship looked around it spotted Vilgax on top of a roof, knowing that he was the main one responsible for all this it flew up to fight him.
Vilgax's stomach was still hurting from the Ben that had kicked before, but knowing that that Ben was a Space Demon that took his place hurt even more "wow one kick and the great Vilgax is down" Eon taunted
"zip it Eon (grabs Eon's head) now open up the portal" Vilgax said and dropped him
"We're partners in this endeavour" he then opened up a portal and Vilgax reached into it and pulled out an odd looking device which he placed on the roof "I should be in on every detail of your plans, especially if they suddenly involve a bomb"
"not just a bomb, a Chronosapien time bomb"
"you're going to destroy this Ben 10 and his timeline? – Nice"
"on the contrary the detonation won't even touch this Ben Tennyson or his timeline. It's designed to wipe other timelines from existence"
"which one?"
"All of them" Vilgax then put in the right settings and activated it. The key on top of the bomb then spun around and a glowing red ball of energy shot up into the sky before stopping and expanding "only this timeline will be left intact, while all others will cease to exist, so every Ben Tennyson not from this timeline will be destroyed"
"but I'm an alternate Ben Tennyson not from this timeline. What what happens to me?"
"Thank you for your help, Eon. Your assistance is no longer required" Vilgax said before he was tackled off the roof by a very angry Ship who started to punch kick and blast Vilgax for what he had just done.
"and there" Ben said as he closed up his doppelgangers head declaring the operation a success, as he got up Ben 23 (now as Toolboxx) and Gwen 10 (now as Rollout) flew and crashed into each other before falling to the ground and turning back to normal
"man these guys just don't give up" Gwen 10 said as she got up followed by Ben 23
"uh guys what's that?" Ben 23 asked as he saw a large red and while dome increasing in size
"if I had to guess I'd say Vilgax just activated a Chronosapien time bomb programmed to eliminate every Omnitrix user as well as their timeline from existence" Ben said as the dome got bigger and closer
"are you serious?" Gwen 10 asked, hoping that he was joking
"yeah I am, well might as well stop it" Ben said they then watched as Mad Ben was engulfed and disintegrated "Clockwork" Ben said before turning into said alien he then pressed the Omnitrix symbol and turned into "Super Clockwork!" Ben 23 and Gwen 10 were starting to shake in fear as the dome got closer and closer, they both wanted to run but something was telling them to stay. Super Clockwork then put his hands out in front of him and to everyone who was watching's amazement the dome stopped expanding as soon as it pressed up against his hands "okay time to send this bad boy back to where it came from" Super Clockwork said and he began walking forward forcing the blast back and making it smaller. As he pushed Mad Ben came out making Super Clockwork stop "you so owe me for this dude" he said and he kept pushing while also making Bad Ben reappear. Super Clockwork kept pushing until the blast was the size of a baseball which he thrust back into the bomb making it deactivate he looked up and saw a surprised Eon "hey bro mind if I use this"
"what are you going to use it for?"
"something SUPER cool" and he began reprogramming it.
Meanwhile
Down below Vilgax was now locked hands with Ship the two trying to force the other back "once I'm through with you all I need is to eliminate one inexperienced Ben Tennyson and then this universe will be mine"
"you know Villy we have a saying on Earth, don't count your chickens before they hatch" Vilgax turned his head and saw an odd looking alien holding his time bomb, he then saw a familiar symbol on his chest
"no it's impossible how did you survive my Chronosapien time bomb!"
"I not only survived it dude, I shoved the blast back into it so it's ready to go off again, of which I'll do right now" he said before he set it off and threw it up into a portal that appeared above them which then closed up.
"what did you just do with it"
"simple I hurled it into your universe, only this time dude I changed it so that every VILGAX not from your timeline will be erased"
Vilgax's eyes widened "why would you set it off in my universe rather than this one" Vilgax asked
"another simple answer I'm going to kill you...that is of course Ben Prime would like to do the honour's"
"dude I'm all for whooping Vilgax's butt but I'd never kill him"
"suit yourself bro, Ultimate Frostbite" and in a flash he turned into said alien Ship moved away from Vilgax
"you think you have what it takes to beat me? I am the conqueror of ten worlds none can surpass me" the next thing Vilgax knew he had Ultimate Frostbites fist lodged in his stomach
"you think you're so great and powerful I massacred over 4000 Incursean's without breaking a sweat (gives Vilgax another hard punch to the stomach) I've beaten a 90 foot tall alien Zombie that could take out a To'kustar, I even beat Vilespa in hand to hand combat (he then began a barrage of punches kicks and tail whips) so killing you will be childs play at best, Shocksquatch" turning into said alien he grabbed onto Vilgax and screeched as he sent massive volts of electricity coursing through Vilgax's body "I bet that this is a real shocking development for yah aye?" Shocksquatch said before he picked up Vilgax and threw him to the ground making a crater as he did. Shocksquatch grinned "Gumwad" he and in a flash he turned into an alien that looked like someone had tried to make a person out of a huge wad of chewed up gum
"grr what the hell is that thing?" Vilgax asked as he struggled to get up
"I'm an Elastomeara and that's all you need to know" he said before his arm shot out and wrapped tightly around his neck before lifting off his feet he then began repeatedly slamming Vilgax to the ground while the fist on the end of the arm that was wrapped around his neck kept punching him in the face.
With one final slam Gumwad retracted his arm leaving Vilgax sprawled out on the ground face down, he then touched his Omnitrix symbol and in a flash he was back to normal "dude I think that was really over excessive" Ben Prime said
"not excessive enough" Ben replied and he walked over to the groaning Vilgax "Ship cover their eyes" Ship understood what Ben meant and it put it's hands over Ben 23 and Gwen 10's eyes. "If you guys also have weak stomachs turn around"
"hey that's enough!" Ben 10,000 called out as he ran over to Ben to stop him.
Vilgax looked up and saw Ben glaring at him "I yield" Vilgax groaned out
"too bad" Ben replied and in one swift motion he grabbed Vilgax's head and tore it off just as Ben 10,000 reached him "want this as a trophy?" Ben asked as he presented Vilgax's head to Ben 10,000
"you're worse than they are, you're a monster" he replied gesturing to the bad Ben's
"believe what you want, I prefer to nip problems in the bud before they bloom into disasters, Supanova" Ben said before he turned into a humanoid figure that looked like he was made of pure magma he then took a deep breath and blew a stream of fire that incinerated Vilgax's body before doing the same thing to his decapitated head.
Up on a roof top Eon watched the scene with a smirk "nice" he said before he opened a portal and walked through it with it closing behind him.
Turning back to normal Ben turned to the bad Ben's as Ship removed its hands from Ben 23 and Gwen 10's eyes Ben then disappeared and reappeared behind Mad Ben "you're lucky you lot aren't going to suffer the same fate as he did"
"stop!" Ben Prime shouted before Ben chopped Mad Ben in the back of the head knocking him out he then proceeded to do the same with all of the other Ben's however when Ben tried to knock out Sir Ben all he ended up doing was making him skid forward
"wow that armours more durable than I thought"
"uh what did you do to that Vilgax guy?" Ben 23 asked
"I killed him, I just didn't want you to see such a gruesome sight"
"dude you are so messed up in the head" Ben Prime said hoping he wouldn't turn on them
Ben then teleported right in front of his Prime counterpart "most people would argue at a statement like that but I fully agree I am messed up in the head, I mean 70% of my brain is mechanical now and from appearances you can easily tell my head is not 100% so I fully agree with you I am messed up in the head" he said with a huge grin on his face.
"Have thou finish with thy buffoonish chatter so that I may now smite thee" Sir Ben asked readying his sword
"um you do realise that you're totally outnumbered right?" Ben 23 questioned
"I have smite entire armies with great ease, taking out just 6 people and a pet will be child's play at best" he said before they all turned into a different alien, he then swung his sword and an arc of blue energy came and struck them all in the chests making them all time out
"well I wasn't expecting that" Ben Prime
"and I bet that thou was not expecting this" before anyone could react he fired two beams from his sword in rapid succession that tore through Ben 23 and Gwen 10's chests sending them flying back and tumbling along the ground until they came to a stop next to each other, now lying perfectly still.
Ben made Ultimatrix Ben (who was next to him) jump in fright as his eye flipped up and his scope came out as he did a scan on the two downed hero's "they're dead" he said before he walked over to them, once he was between the two he shocked everyone by turning into his Anodite form
"no way" Ben Prime said, Ben then put his hands over the holes in their chests before blue waves of light came out of his hands and washed over the two kids with the holes in their chests rapidly closing up until there wasn't so much as a scratch on their now exposed chests. "this guy is just too much, I can't tell if he's with us or against us" Ben Prime said
"I agree he is an odd version of us it greatly disturbs me that he's not afraid to kill at his age" Ben 10,000 replied
"and how the heck did he become an Anodite as well? (looks to his older self) can you do that?"
"no I can't" Ben 10,000 replied just as shocked as his younger self. Once Ben 23 and Gwen 10's chests were fully healed up Ben chanted some words and sent a pulse of mana and life energy into their chests, bringing them both back to life.
the two young heroes both groggily sat up "are you an angel" Gwen asked still not 100%
"yes Gwen I'm an angel, all us angels have flaming heads"
"who are you" she asked finally clearing her head
"I'm the Ben that saved us all from that bomb" he said before he stood up and turned towards Sir Ben "I am going to put an end to this whole mess promptly" he stated before he turned back to normal "darn reviving two people must also take more than just two years off my life"
"you needn't worry about that" Sir Ben said before swinging his sword vertically leaving a long slit in the ground that went between Ben's legs, Ben's eyes and mouth were wide open as he stood perfectly still
"uh dude are you okay?" Ben 23 asked, everyone (minus Sir Ben) got looks of horror on there faces as they saw Ben split in half vertically with the two halves falling to the side Sir Ben then swung the sword multiple times turning the two halves into large bloody chunks which landed on Ben 23 and Gwen 10 causing them to scream.
"Even a foe as mighty as he was could be slain easily" turning to Ben's Prime and 10,000 he readied his sword "does though wish to perish mercifully or painfully"
"Ship" they all turned and saw Ship was now glowing bright green and shaking "die" Ship then shot forward and punched Sir Ben in the face sending him flying back, Ship then began a brutal assault on Sir Ben with punches kicks and firing weapons of all kind while growing bigger and getting faster at the same time.
"You prepare to help Ship if he needs it I'll try and calm these two down" Ben 10,000 said gesturing to the now hysterical Ben 23 and Gwen 10, Ben Prime nodded and then looked at his counterpart in this universe who had now fainted.
'well this is quite odd' the cybernetic part of Ben's head thought 'I wouldn't have thought in a million years that my head could still function without a body' his eye then saw the part of his cybernetic arm which contained the Omnitrix only about two feet away from him 'come on Omnitrix change me into Goop or Swampfire' nothing, Ben focused and concentrated as hard as he could but nothing he even tried turning into an Anodite but still nothing 'come on surly the greatest mind in 5 galaxies could have anticipated something like this...wait' the cybernetic part of his head then teleported the two feet and was now in front of the Omnitrix 'cool I can still teleport which means, sorry about this kid' he then teleported onto Ben 23's lap. As Ben 23 and Gwen 10 were being calmed down Ben 23 felt something heavy on his lap looking down he saw the cybernetic part of Ben's head and went into hysterics again as the eye blinked Ben 10,000 grabbed the cybernetic part and watched in shock as the eye looked at him and then to the side, seeing that he wasn't getting the gesture Ben's eye looked to the side for a bit before rolling his eye around.
Getting the gesture this time Ben 10,000 turned the dial on the cybernetic attachment until he could hear Ben's voice "thanks for that" this made Ben 10,000 drop the attachment "great handling butterfingers" the attachment said before it disappeared from its spot and reappeared in front of the Omnitrix "Blightspeed" Ben's voice said and in a flash all of Ben's pieces turned into glowing yellow pieces covered in smooth grey skin with glowing yellow galvanic Mechamorph like lines on it, Ben's 23, 10,000 and Gwen 10 were absolutely speechless as they watched the two human like feet prop up right followed by all of the pieces fully glowing yellow before little balls of light began coming off of them and merging with the ankles Ben's 23, 10,000 and Gwen 10 watched as the legs reformed followed by the torso arms and then finally the head "phew that was quite an interesting experience" the grey skinned humanoid stated
"what alien is that?" Gwen asked
"Blightspeed, a species that's made of pure light, sorry if I freaked you all out just then" he then turned around and saw a now 50 foot tall Ship brutally beating up Sir Ben "now if you'll excuse me I need to dedub a knight" and in a flash he disappeared.
Sir Ben skidded backwards before charging forward and began countering all of Ship's punch's with sword strikes, he had taken quite a beating from the enraged Ship but thanks to the sword he was still able to fight. Ship, realising that punches weren't working, put both hands together which then merged and formed into a large cannon which was aimed straight at Sir Ben "you foolish creature if you fire a weapon of that magnitude at this angle you'll kill us all" the inside began to glow bright green, Sir Ben readied his sword to at least block the attack when the green started to fade away while Ship shrunk until it was back to it's normal armour form with its arms separating and turning back to normal "I see that thou has come to thy senses"
"Ben?"
"what?"
"he means me" Sir Ben turned around and saw a grey skinned humanoid alien wearing an Omnitrix symbol in the centre of his chest standing behind him with one leg raised "and encase you've ever wondered, this is what it's like to be kicked at the speed of light" Blightspeed then swung his leg which was now glowing yellow and the instant it made contact with Sir Ben's head he disappeared this was instantly followed by 3 buildings collapsing "I bet knight boy felt that one huh Ship?" Blightspeed said before he was embraced by Ship who had turned back to it's regular form "come on, did you really think I could be killed that easily?"
"shi ip ip ship sh ip hip"
"yeah I guess you're right that kind of thing has never happened to me before, well at least I know I can survive something like that" he then saw Sir Ben slowly getting up from the remains of the last building he had crashed into. Blightspeed laughed as he saw the side of Sir Ben's helmet was compacted in trapping his head inside of it. Sir Ben looked at the group and saw that they were all there which meant...
"how did thou survive my attack?" he asked
"the cybernetic part of my head as well as my Omnitrix were still active so that was all I needed to pull myself back together, let's see ya try and top that"
"gladly" Sir Ben then charged at Blightspeed and made multiple sword strikes but his sword just went through him until Blightspeed blocked it with a glowing finger
"if you don't mind I'd like to end this now" he said as he raised his other hand and pointed his index finger at Sir Ben before a beam shot out of it and pierced right through Sir Ben's arm making him yell in pain, Blightspeed then did the same his other arm making him drop his sword, as the armour retracted Blightspeed kept shooting multiple beams that pierced through Sir Ben's arms legs and torso until he finally collapsed and fell face down
"is he dead" Ultimatrix Ben asked (having woken up) as he looked at the now bloody Ben on the ground
"no no I shot him in nonlethal area's so he's just in excruciating pain" Blightspeed replied before turning back to normal, he then bent down and picked up the sword Sir Ben had dropped
"what are you going to do with that?" Ben Prime asked cautiously
"simple, I'm going to make sure that this sword will never cause any more damage" Ben then changed into his Anodite form and touched his counterparts head before frowning, he then straightened up and began to get a blue aura around himself which travelled to the sword sparks began flying in all directions as the aura turned purple and became wild everyone could see the strained look on his face "all...most...there" he said before there was a bright flash of light that blinded everyone for about a minute.
When they could see again, they saw Ben panting a bit before he turned back to normal "okay dude seriously what did you just do?" Ben Prime asked
"I absorbed the full power of Diagon and purified it within my body as well as absorbing all of the power in this sword" he replied before getting a sheepish look "frankly I'm surprised I didn't I didn't kill myself by doing that" he said with a grin, he then took off his shirt and handed it to Gwen who was currently covering her exposed chest with her arms
"thank you" she replied and she put it on.
Ben then looked down at his unconscious counterpart "while in my Anodite form I read this scum bags mind and found out what he had done to the Gwen and Kevin in his universe" he then decoupled the Ultimatrix from Sir Ben's arm and took it "I think I can find a better use for this than he would"
"wait if you could remove the Ultimatrix so easily why didn't you do the same to Albedo's" Ben Prime asked
"his was of a different design so I didn't know how to remove it manually" Ben replied "Clockwork" he then pressed the Omnitrix symbol "Super Clockwork!"
"super? Isn't it supposed to be ultimate?" Ben 10,000 asked
"yeah bro, but with a look this cool super fits this guy even better" Super Clockwork said as he gave Ben 10,000 a solid thumbs up "well time to send these rejects back" and he rapidly fired beams at the Bad Ben's while striking different poses with each beam he shot until only Mecha Ben and Albedo (who was hiding) were left "well the only ones left are that handsome devil and the squirt" he said before his arm extended and grabbed Albedo out of his hiding place and brought him over to the good Ben's "see yah can't hide from me kiddo"
"yep I'm a kiddo alright" Albedo said trying not to get on this Ben's bad side
"so do you have something planned for him" Gwen 10 asked
"yeah I'll find a good home for this little guy, I'll be back" a portal then opened up in front of him and he walked through with it closing behind him. Another one then opened up and he walked out now without Albedo
"that was fast" Gwen 10 said
"to you? yes, to me? I was gone for about a day, now to take this guy" he then picked up his doppelganger and he did the same thing he had done with Albedo "man that was a hard explanation" he said
"now only one more bad Ben to get rid of" Ben Prime said firmly
"who?" Ben 23 asked
"him" Ben Prime said as he pointed to Ben who frowned
"he's not a bad Ben" Gwen 10 stated
"did you not see what he just did he tortured that other Ben and he tore Vilgax's head off like it was completely normal!"
"but didn't they want us dead as well"
"that's not the point killing is never a right thing"
"tell me what would you have done to him if he had of killed your parents? Would you have just given him a bit of a smack down and toss him in a jail cell?" Ben questioned, Ben Prime was silent at that "exactly if I had let him live, he most likely would have done that eventually"
"is it true what you said, that you wiped out every Incursean"
"yep along with the help of my friends and family"
"besides how could he be a bad Ben if he brought Gwen and I back to life as well as save us all from that bomb thing" Ben 23 said with Gwen agreeing
"sorry dude, I may not know anything else about this guy but from what I've seen he's a good Ben, even if his methods are a bit...gruesome" Ultimatrix Ben said, Ben Prime and his older self frowned at this
"I'd just like to be a smartass here (looks at Ben Prime) you constantly boast that you've saved your universe a million times well I just saved every universe in existence from Vilgax" Ben said making Ben Prime scowl for a bit.
Before a fight could break out another portal opened up and Paradox stepped out "ah it's good to see everything has worked out" he then looked at Ben "I must say you are one doosy of a wild card, not even I could have foreseen the events that have occurred because of you"
"thanks Paradox"
"well now that our work is done I'll take all of these Ben's back to their universes" Ben 10,000 said to his younger self obviously still not pleased that the other good Ben's had sided with the Mecha Ben
"darn" Ben 23 said
"darn? Why darn?"
"I wanted to see how different events in different universes played out"
"that actually sounds pretty cool" Ben said with Ship, Gwen 10, and Ultimatrix Ben agreeing
"why not then" Ben 10,000 said
"then off we go! Clockwork (presses Omnitrix symbol) Super Clockwork!" Ben said and in an instant everyone was floating in a blue version of space he then pointed to Gwen "ladies first" he said pointing at Gwen 10
"I wanna see how you lost your arm and the side of your head" she said with the others agreeing
"okay then but just letting you know when we go to past events we'll all be essentially ghosts" and in an instant they were in the camp grounds where Ben had had his major accident.
The next day
"That sounds like quite the adventure you had" Rook said before taking a bite out of his meatball sub
"yeah, that Ben Prime however is way too cocky and arrogant" Ben replied
"from what you've told me he does sound like it, by the way what did you do with the Ultimatrix you took from that bad Ben?"
an Aerophibian then landed next to the bench they were sitting at and in a flash a very happy Jimmy could be seen "Ben mum says you need to be home by 7" he said
"will do" Ben said with a smile
"and once again thanks a billion for giving me an Ultimatrix" he said before hugging his older brother, he then activated his Ultimatrix again and once again turned into an Aerophibian before flying off
Ben turned back to Rook "that answer your question?"
"indeed, and what of that Ben that looked like you, as well as that Albedo from the Prime universe?"
"my doppelganger is back in his universe, I explained the situation to Grandpa Max of that universe and also showed him the mind control device, he and the Plumber's thankfully understood the situation and dropped all charges against him though I'm not sure everyone else will be as forgiving"
"I hope everything works out for him"
"same here"
"and what of Albedo?"
"lets just put it this way, Hipnoteyes is really good at changing memories on a mass scale...especially on adults that never had children"
In another universe
An alarm clock went off and a hand with pale skin reached out to turn it off, with a yawn and a stretch Albedo sat up in a bed "Ben sweetie, breakfast is ready" Sandra called out
"coming mum" the newly named Ben said, he then got out of bed and left his room.
