Good copy, bad copy

Ben and the gang had had a very interesting week, first Ben and Gwen had found out that their grandmother was actually an Anodite while also finding out that that was what Gwen was turning into when she changed forms, next they had met a time travelling professor who Gwen named Professor Paradox due to him forgetting his original name and just yesterday they had encountered an alien mapmaker who had been imprisoned by the Forever Knights for over 1000 years.

It was now night time and Gwen and Kevin were currently in his car heading towards a currently unknown destination "are you sure we're going the right way Kevin?" Gwen asked

"positive, my sources are really reliable...to a degree" he said

"and you think Ben is somehow involved in this"

"there's been a lot of alien attacks recently and Ben's name keeps popping up in all of them" he said as he turned off the main road and onto a dirt road. After a bit they came to a surprising sight, a partly destroyed castle in flames

"wow" Gwen said as she looked around at the destruction, suddenly something red shot out of the smoke and disappeared into the night sky

"what the heck was that?" Kevin asked

"it could have been Jetray" she replied before they heard groaning, looking to the side they saw a badly hurt Forever Knight lying on the ground, rushing over to him they could see that his helmet had been hit with such force that it had broken instead of dented

"Ben 10 has shown no mercy" he said

"well what did you do?" Gwen asked

"nothing, I swear on my order, he has destroyed 5 of our castles within 3 days and says that he won't stop until he gets the right answer" he replied

"well this is the first I've heard of it"

"what's his question?" Kevin asked

"his question is 'where is Ben Tennyson'" Gwen and Kevin gave each other questioning looks "a rumour going around says that he also took out a hive of DNAliens as well" he finished before he lost consciousness

"I don't know if your cousin has gone off the deep end or he's finally putting that Omnitrix to good work" Kevin said casually

"I hope it's not the former" Gwen said now really worried about her cousin

"hey, hey I was just kidding about that first bit" he said trying to prevent her from getting too upset "let's just go to his house and ask him about it" he suggested, Gwen nodded and they got back in his car before heading to Ben's house.

Ben's house

Ben was currently scanning through his physics book, he had found out that the cybernetic part of his head could scan information and stored it in the cybernetic part so he wouldn't forget anything "oh yeah I am going to pass this test for sure" he said as he finished scanning his 200th page

"congratulations Tennyson" a voice said making him jump he turned and saw Gwen and Kevin standing at the door "you're finally putting the Omnitrix to maximum use, you know butt kicking wise" Kevin said before Gwen elbowed him

"ever heard of knocking" Ben asked as he retracted his scanner back into his head before his eye came back down

"so Ben why have you been going into all of these battles alone" she asked

"and what's with the stupid question?" Kevin added

"I don't know what the heck you guys are talking about" Ben said as he stood up

"nice try but we saw you as Jetray flying away from the Forever Knights castle" Gwen said

"after you pretty much tore the place apart" Kevin said

"look I've been here scanning this book for my physics test tomorrow because if I fail it my mum's going to ground me and that means zero hero time" Ben stated

"I believe him, when you lie you're left eye twitches" Kevin said as Ben touched his left eye "but who knows maybe you've been blacking out and sleep fighting"

"it's possible" Gwen said

"well there's only one guy I know who would know if I have been doing that" Ben said "Ship *whistle* *whistle* *whistle*" Ben said

"Ship, Ship!" Ship chirped as it leap into the room and stopped at Ben's feet

"hey buddy have I been blacking out or left the house for no reason after I've gone to sleep?" he asked, Ship just shook it's head from side to side "well that answers that question" Ben said as he picked up Ship

"okay then but maybe Kevin should keep an eye on you just encase" Gwen suggested

"why do I-" Kevin was cut off as his phone rang "hold on" he said, checking the ID he answered his phone "Argit what's up?" he asked

"Kevin *crash* I thought you'd *crash* like to be interested *roar* that Benny boy *thud* is currently tearing up *roar* Undertown gahh" and the phone went dead

"crud, well looks like you were right Ben it isn't you that's been attacking your enemies, well we need to get to Undertown asap your imposter is tearing it up"

"what!" Ben and Gwen said in union, Ben activated his teleporter while Gwen and Kevin grabbed onto him "Undertown" Ben said and in a flash they found themselves in the destroyed market place in Undertown

"where is Ben Tennyson" the heard a deep voice roared out, a building then crumbled as a Vaxasaurian busted threw it.

"Hey ugly!" Ben called out getting its attention, its eyes widened before walking over to Ben, Ben got ready to activate his Omnitrix at a moment's notice once the Vaxasaurian was standing in front of Ben it pressed the Omnitrix symbol on its chest and turned into "wha!" Ben said as a fully organic version of himself now stood in front of him

"Ben Tennyson it's been a while, you are quite the most difficult creature to find but I must see you"

"have we met before?" Ben asked

"yes, it is I Albedo of the Galvan"

"hey I remember you, you helped Malware become complete"

"of which I still regret even to this day"

"but last time I saw you, you were about yay high and not as good looking"

"because your DNA is encoded as the default in your Omnitrix, mine synchronises across space and time with yours, so you have become my default as well, that's why I'm stuck in a stick, sweaty, noisy, hungry, hairy, smelly, teenage human body, and constantly craving chilli fries" Albedo stated angrily

"well look on the bright side at least you're not half machine" Ben said

"THAT would be an improvement over this" Albedo snapped

"okay so why have you been causing so much destruction?" Gwen asked

"to try and find Ben of coarse" Albedo said before turning back to Ben "now I'm only going to say this once, give me the Omnitrix" he ordered

"but the DNAliens, the Highbreed, I'm supposed to use it to save the world"

"it is incomplete and prone to catastrophic malfunction" Ben tapped the Omnitrix face

"not lately it hasn't"

"you have an unnatural amount of luck or by now you would have ripped a hole in the fabric of the universe"

"he might be a Highbreed trying to get the Omnitrix" Kevin said

"maybe" Ben said before he grabbed Albedo's face and tried to pull it

"let go you imbecile, I'm not wearing an ID Mask" he protested before Ben let him go

"well he's telling the truth about him being stuck like me" Ben said

"yes now hand over the Omnitrix this is your last warning"

"not gonna happen" Ben said crossing his arm

"very well there are other ways to disarm you" Albedo said as he took a step back and activated his Omnitrix before he pressed it down turning into Humungousaur.

He raised his arms and brought them down on the three teens, luckily they dodged the hit, Kevin touched the ground turning to stone before he ran forward and punched Humungousaur hard in the knee causing him to roar in pain, Gwen changed into her Anodite form and shot two beams of mana that wrapped around Humungousaur's neck and she flung him over her before slamming him into the ground. As Humungousaur started to get up he was repeatedly punched in the face by Four Arms, he was then sent flying back with a quadruple upper-cut, as he flew in the air Gwen hurled both Kevin and Ben at him where they proceeded to give him a sledgehammer hit each sending him crashing into the ground again, Ben then turned into Jetray and grabbed Kevin before gliding down to Humungousaur. As soon as they landed however Humungousaur started to get up "not bad children, you're more competent than I gave you credit for" he then touched his Omnitrix and turned into Big Chill "however with my superior intellect mixed with my knowledge of the Omnitrix you have little chance of beating me" he said before a cart landed on him Jetray and Kevin looked up and saw Gwen floating above, Big Chill groaned as he pushed the cart off of himself looking up he saw Gwen now floating next to Four Arms and Kevin while Ship transformed into his battle suit form "drat, this isn't over" he said before he phased through the floor.

The team then all changed back to their normal selves "can you track him Gwen" Ben asked

"lets see" she began to glow for a bit until it stopped "behind-" Gwen was cut off as she as well as the rest of the team were fully encased in chunks of ice each

"too easy, I'll be taking this" Big Chill said before he grabbed Ben and flew off.

After flying for a bit Big Chill came down and fazed through the roof of an abandoned warehouse before dropping Ben, when Ben hit the ground and the ice encasing him shattered, freeing him "s-s-so c-cold" he said as he rubbed his chest with his organic arm

"now that we're alone, let's start over, give me the Omnitrix now before I break your arm off" Big Chill said

"y-yeah like t-that's gonna happen" Ben shivered out before he activated his Omnitrix turning into "Swampfire! Why don't I warm you up a bit" he said before he shot a stream of fire at Big Chill, Big Chill made himself intangible and the fire harmlessly passed through him, taking a deep breath Big Chill blew on Swampfire rapidly covering him in ice Swampfire reached up and touched his Omnitrix symbol and turned into "Humungousaur!" he then reared an arm back and punched Big Chill making him slam into a wall, touching his Omnitrix symbol he turned into Four Arms. Charging forward he began punching Humungousaur repeatedly in the stomach while forcing him back, Humungousaur then grew in size and then grabbed Four Arms in both hands before slamming him to the ground which made the whole warehouse shake Humungousaur then pressed his Omnitrix symbol and turned into "Shocksquatch!" thrusting a hand down on Four Arms chest he sent electricity coursing through Four Arms' body, Four Arms then grabbed Shocksquatch's arm and threw him to the side, pressing down on his Omnitrix symbol he turned into Frankenstrike. Frankenstrike's conductors began to spark with green electricity as he ran at Shocksquatch, the two electric aliens locked hands and began trying to push the other back while sending electricity into each other's bodies.

A dome of yellow and green electricity surrounded the two "yield and give me the Omnitrix" Frankenstrike demanded

"yeah like that's going to happen" Shocksquatch said as the dome got bigger and bigger until it became too much and detonated, blowing up the whole warehouse. When the smoke disappeared Frankenstrike and Shocksquatch could be seen lying on the ground sparking before they turned back to normal, Ben and Albedo groaned as they got up, they looked at their Omnitrix's and saw that they had timed out

"no matter I don't need my Omnitrix to destroy you" Albedo said before he threw a punch at Ben only for his fist to be caught easily

"yeah the key difference between you and me right now is that I'm a heck of a lot stronger" Ben said as he reared his cybernetic arm back and punched Albedo hard in the stomach. Albedo had never felt this kind of pain in his life as he fell to his knees and held his stomach in agony, looking up he saw that Ben was still holding onto his hand before he let it go

"give me your Omnitrix!" Albedo demanded and he lunged at Ben's cybernetic but Ben just moved his arm to the side but as both Omnitrix's passed each other their arms swung back and the two dials on the Omnitrix's stuck together like magnets.

"What's happening?!" Ben asked as he tried to pull his Omnitrix away from Albedo's, but they wouldn't separate

"their proximity is creating a bio-energy feedback" Albedo explained as green sparks started to shoot out of the two Omnitrix's. As they did Albedo changed colours as his DNA was damaged, he now had white hair, his skin was now slightly paler, his eyes had turned red, his eyebrows had turned black, and oddly enough it turned the colours of his jacket from green with white stripes to red with black stripes. "You primitive primate look at what you've done, you damaged this form" Albedo said before Ben began swinging his arm around trying to shake Albedo off of him. "Stop it you mindless buffoon, you're going to tear my arm off!"

"Seriously, don't tempt me" Ben said before the two Omnitrix's finally separated and Albedo was sent flying and crashing into a destroyed machine where he fell unconscious "finally, I thought he'd never come off" Ben said and he walked over to the machine where he could see Albedo's Omnitrix arm hanging out. when he arrived there was a bright flash of green light when Ben could see properly he saw Azmuth standing in front "Azmuth, it's been a while, what are you doing here?"

"you've over loaded the Omnitrix so badly that I could sense it half a galaxy away, those non-stop transformations are going to break it"

"I was just-"

"save it I know my...oh well I would lecture my former assistant Albedo about making an inferior copy of the Omnitrix but it looks like I'd just be wasting my breath" Azmuth said as he saw Albedo now lying unconscious in the broken machine.

Azmuth walked over to Albedo's limp arm and removed the Omnitrix from him before Albedo disappeared "he won't bother you again" he said

"that's good to hear" Ben replied

"I'll be taking my leave now" he said and he disappeared in a green flash before Ben could ask him anything

"darn it, oh well at least I don't have to worry about anymore doppelgangers"

"right all you have to worry about now is your physics test tomorrow" Gwen said as she, Ship, and a shivering Kevin walked up to him

"hey when did you get here?" Ben asked

"just now" Gwen replied as Ship leapt onto Ben's shoulder

"hey do you guys think we could continue this some were a little warmer?" Kevin asked as he rubbed his arms

"sure grab on" Ben said Gwen and Kevin grabbed onto Ben as he activated his teleporter "home" he said and in a flash they disappeared.
