A reviewer asked if the Cosmo in this story has any relation to the Cosmo in the actual Sonic series. Due to the fact that it would be a gigantic Continuity Snarl otherwise, I think it's safe to assume that the Cosmo and other aliens in this story are just alternate universal versions of the ones in the actual Sonic series.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programing. Hopefully.

Classic Ben was currently fiddling with his Omnitrix, laying on his bed. He was trying to entertain himself as Max drove the Rust Bucket back to an actual road. After meeting with the two Seedrians, Ben knew that this was gonna be a looooooooong trip. Gwen, however, was actually enjoying Cosmo's company. She was currentley sitting in the booth, showing Cosmo her laptop,

"So, this Laptop thing can pull up things from... What did you call it again?" Cosmo asked.

"The Internet." Gwen answered. She typed in some words on the laptop and then said, "You can look up a bunch of things on it. Like this." She hit "Enter" and the screen on the Laptop pulled up a bunch of odd squares on it, all of them with words or pictures. Cosmo looked in awe. "This is Wikipedia. It's kind of an encyclopedia for just about everything we humans know." Gwen explained.

"Really? Everything?" Cosmo said in amazement. Gwen nodded. "And it can also bring up a bunch of other things. You don't just use the internet for finding things out." Gwen said as she re-typed on the laptop. She then brought up another bunch of squares, but these were much more colorful and were placed differently then before. "You can also talk to other people through it. This is something called a forum. It's a place where people come on to talk about several different things."

Cosmo kept watching. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. "This... 'Internet' You humans have is amazing!" She said, astounded.

Gwen typed in some more letters and an odd black square showed up, "You can also watch funny videos on here." She said. The odd black square then had an actual video on it. Cosmo watched, her mind being blown. The video had a man in front of some odd, white polls and a small white ball in it. A man then ran up from off-screen and kicked the ball towards one of the polls. The white ball bounced off of the poll and hit the other man in the face. Gwen laughed. Gwen did notice that Cosmo was not laughing however. In fact, she was frowning. "Hey, what's wrong, that was funny."

"I just hope that man was okay..."

Gwen looked at her with a face of confusion, but then said, "Oh, I get it. You don't like to laugh at other people's pain."

Como nodded.

"Well, in that case, here. Lemme show you this." Gwen said as she typed on her keyboard. She clicked something and another video appeared. This one had a man dressed in white armor doing a pelvic thrust. Gwen laughed hard. Cosmo did not at first. But as she watched it, she felt herself snickering at it. She snickered until she burst out laughing with Gwen.

Ben, with a combination of utter boredom and curiousness, decided to go and find out what the two were laughing about. He got up from his bed and walked over behind them, making sure that they did not hear or see him. He knelt down behind the booth that the two girls were sitting in and slowly came upward, looking at the screen of the storm trooper doing a pelvic thrust.

He looked at Gwen an saw the perfect opportunity for something devious. He walked up to the fridge and carefully opened it, taking out a few pieces of ice. He closed the fridge and slowly got back into the position he was in before he got to the fridge. Unfortunately, the video was over and the girls' laughing fits were dying down.

"Oh, that was hilarious, Gwen..." Cosmo said, trying to catch her breath from laughing hard.

"Oh, man... here, lemme try and find another one..." Gwen said, typing on her laptop once more, "Oh, man. This one's good." She clicked the video and almost immediately the two girls burst out into laughter. Ben saw this opportunity and took it.

The backs of the girls' necks were showing, so Ben took the pieces of ice and placed them onto the girls' necks. Their eyes widened and they stopped laughing, instead screeching at the cold substance on the backs of their necks. The two jumped up from their seats, trying to get the ice off, but all that it did was go down their shirts, leaving an icy cold line across their backs. Gwen and Cosmo had their hands on their backs, attempting to get the icy cold substance away from their backs.

"Ah hahahahahahaha... thahahahat is toohoohoohoo goohoohoohood! Hahaha!" Ben laughed."Ben!" Gwen yelled. The ice fell out of their shirts and onto the ground, it's icy sting no longer bothering the two girls.

Cosmo walked up to her mother who was sitting next to Max, "Mom?"

"Yes, Cosmo?" Earthia replied.

"Can I have my Avohkii Staff?"

"Are you going to hit Ben with it?"

"Not in the face, no."

Earthia gave Cosmo a look. Cosmo folded her arms and said, "Fine." She walked back to see Ben laying on the floor laughing his brains out and Gwen, carefully opening the fridge and puling something out. Ben rolled over in his laughter, trying hard to control himself. Gwen knelt down to Ben and pulled the back of his shirt up and threw a piece of ice into it. Ben's face went to one of pure joy to one of uncomfort as he jumped up to the ground and danced like a monkey, trying to get the ice out of his shirt.

Max smiled as he listened to the ruckus going on behind him. He was against them fighting, but pulling pranks like this certainly brought back memories of his own kids. However, there was one thing that he heard just now that he would like explained. "Avohkii Staff?"

"Yes. The Avohkii Staff. It's Avohkii-based technology. We were the first in the Milky Way Galaxy to invent it."

"I see..." Max said, sounding intrigued.

Earthia looked at Max for a second, "... You have no idea what Avohkii is, do you?"

"Not a clue in the world."

Earthia giggled at his, "Well, would you like me to explain it to you? Something tells me that you humans just have a different word for it."

"Absolutely." Max said, shifting his eyes to Eathia for a brief five seconds.

These five seconds were all that was needed for something to jump out from the bushes of the pathway that the RV was driving on. It was hit by the Rust Bucket! Max slammed his foot onto the breaks. Ben, Gwen and Cosmo tried to hold on to something as the RV shook. After about two seconds, the RV stopped.

Max unbuckled himself and got up from his chair. He walked to the door and opened it, the going outside to see what he had hit. Earthia followed, but she had something in her hands. "Cosmo, here." She gave it to her daughter. It was a blade attached to a stick. She nodded. Ben , finally getting the ice out of his shirt, started to fiddle with the omnitrix, This way, if something were to attack them, he would be ready. The five walked outside to see what Grandpa Max hit.

They looked around, but Cosmo was the first one to see it. She gasped in response to it. Ben and Gwen looked at her and then looked at where she was looking. Max and Earthia did the same.

It was black and red in coloration, it's hands and feet being the red parts. It had two normal fingers and a thumb on each hand, while it had two clawed toes on it's feet. It's eyes were large and yellow.

"Whoa! What the heck is that thing?!" Ben asked upon seeing it.

Cosmo lifted up her staff and pointed it at the strange alien, oddly holding it like a gun, it's blade pointed at the creature. "Th-th-th-that's-th-tha-th-tha-that's a-a-a-a-a..." Cosmo stuttered.

"A Black Arm." Earthia finished.

"Black Arm?" Gwen looked at the creature. It seemed to be staring at the five. It made an odd noise as it's head bobbed forward ever so slightly, it then pulling back when the sound was over.

"You mean the aliens that you're going to war with?" Ben said.

Earthia nodded.

"Sweet! Then I'll kick the crud outta it!" Ben said as he lifted up his hand to slam down on the Omnitrix. He was stopped as Earthia grabbed his hand.

"No!"

Ben pulled his hand out of her grasp, "No? Whadda you mean no?"

"We don't know if this is just a scout to look for us. If it is that and we attack it violently, then the Black Arms will think that we don't want peace and will never sign the peace treaty." Earthia explained.

"Well then, how do we tell if it is just a scout?" Gwen asked.

The Black Arm cooed at hearing this, it's head tilting to the left.

"We'll just have to keep a close eye on it and see." Earthia explained.

Max, however noticed something that no one else did. A small, purple, gun-like object a few feet away from it. It looked upon them all, it's vision tinted with the color yellow. It noticed something behind the five beings before it. Something small and round flew towards them. It quickly reached out and grabbed it's gun like object, holding it up and reading it to fire.

"It's not a scout!" Gwen shouted as Ben started to lift his hand up to slam down on the watch. The alien, however, shot a laser blast from the gun, but it did not hit them. No it hit the small, round object that was flying towards them. This resulted in a large puff of smoke to appear around them all. They all coughed hard as the smoke made it's way into their lungs. Cosmo's vision began to become blurry. As did Ben's. And Gwen's. And Earthia's. And Max's. Even the Black Arm's vision was blurry.

Cosmo fell to the ground and she drifted into unconsciousness. "Come on!" Grandpa Max coughed, "We have to get back in the Rust Bucket!" These were Max's last words before he fell to the ground too. "Grandpa!" Ben shouted. He kept on coughing as he saw Gwen and Earthia fall to the ground as well. He kept awake long enough to see two figures walking towards them. He fell to the ground and the last thing he saw were the feet of the figure before him before falling to unconsciousness.

Back with Modern Ben, he, Julie, Rook, and Cosmo all walked up to Julie's house. She opened the door and walked in herself, followed by the other three.

"You guys go to the backyard, I'll be right there with ship." Julie explained as she walked upstairs.

"Alright." Ben replied. He walked through the living room and over to the kitchen. He opened the door and Julie's mother was there. "Oh, hello, Ben." She greeted.

Rook and Cosmo then walked through the door.

"Hi, Mrs. Yamamoto." Ben said, waving his hand.

Rook clasped his hands and bowed in respect, "Greeting, Mrs. Yamamoto."

"Hi, Rook." She greeted back.

Cosmo, not knowing what to do in this situation, tried to both bow and wave at the same time. "Hello, Mrs. Yama-ya-yammaaa..." She herself could not pronounce Julie's last name for her life.

"Oh, just call me Peggy." Julie's mother said.

"Alright, uh, hello, Peggy." Cosmo finished. She, Ben and Rook walked out the back door and waited outside in the backyard, Cosmo herself was particularly embarrassed at what just happened.

"Alright, So, recap on the plan." Ben said, pounding his fist into his hand, "We go to Greengate, stomp on some Drakons, save the planet, come home, get some smoothies. Got that?"

"It may get more complicated then that, but I think that will work as a basic idea." Rook replied.

Just then Julie walked out of the door, "Alright, Mom, see you later."

"Okay, be back before dinner."

"I'll try, going off to another planet might make me late." Julie said in response.

"Alright, Julie. So, where is this ship of yours?" Cosmo said, looking around.

"Ship!" Said a small voice. Cosmo looked down to see a small black and green Galvanic Mechamorph next to Julie's leg.

"Here he is." Julie said, as she picked up Ship.

Cosmo looked at her, then at Ben, "Ben, I thought you said that we were going to get a ship?"

"We are." Ben replied. Behind Cosmo Julie threw Ship into the air.

"But this is a Galvanic Mechamorph, named ship."

It was at this point that a large shadow appeared over the four. Cosmo looked up as did everyone else. She saw a large black and green ship, probably the size of a Helicopter, above them.

Meanwhile in the next yard, two boys, one named Jon and the other named Emile, looked over to see a giant ship above the next yard over. They imedietly stopped playing and ran inside, screaming "Mommy, Mommy!"

Meanwhile, back with our heroes, Cosmo looked in awe as ship hovered over them. "SHIIIIP!" Ship yelled in a much deeper voice.

"You were saying?" Ben said, smugly.

Cosmo looked back at him and smiled smugly back, "Oh, stop acting like a ten-year old and let's get to Greengate!"

A beam of green light appeared above them and the four were instantly teleported onto the ship.

"SHIIIIIP!" Ship screamed as he flew upwards and out of orbit at an incredibly quick manner.

Meanwhile, Jon and Emile had gotten their mother and father, as well as their slightly older brother Tim, outside, "Mommy, Daddy, Look! A giant spaceship!" But, low and behold, the ship was gone. Both Jon and Emile's mouths dropped at the fact that there was no giant ship around when there was just ten seconds ago.

"Emile! Jon! What have we said about making up stories?" The mother said.

"B-b-b-but it's not a story! It's true! There was a giant space ship right over there!" Jon said, pointing over to the yard.

"I don't want to hear it, young man. I was just on a very important phone call. I would've gotten a promotion had you not dragged me off!" The father said, angrily.

"But, It's true, Daddy! I saw it!" Emile said.

"No 'But's young man!" The father said, Tim snickering at the word But, "You're both grounded for the rest of the week!"

Emile and Jon's mouths dropped once more upon hearing this.

"Honestly, I don't know where they get this overly active imagination." The father muttered.

"It's from watching to much TV. We have to cut back on their Cartoon Network watching." The mother replied.

Tim walked up to both Jon and Emile. "Hey, you shoulda known better. Mom and Dad don't believe in aliums." Tim explained, missaying the word Aliens, "They still think that Ben 10 is a fraud. Meh, go figure." Tim walked inside, leaving both Jon and Emile to look up at the sky, their mouth's dropped in disbelief.

Alright, so i kinda lied the last chapter. We got some explanation before the adventure begins. But the next chapter we'll get some action, I swear!

Also, I may or may not go in a slightly different direction with what I plan. I'm gonna try and do one different part of the story at a chapter. Like, the next chapter would be just Classic Ben, and the chapter after that would just be Modern Ben, etc. The only thing that wouldn't be like this would be the final chapter, that's the one that I ultimately plan to have as the big sendoff to the fanfiction.

And before you ask, yes. Those three kids are named after TheRunawayGuys. Chugaaconroy, ProtonJon and NintendoCapriSun. A similar naming thing will happen later on. Or... earlier.. on... never mind.

So, yes. Review. Favorite. Plug other people to this story. Eat Nacho's. Do all that good stuff.
