Chapter Two

"The Jade Hourglass rises,

Time is sundered and rewritten,

Toril is changed forever."

-Prophecies of the Jade Hourglass by Notican Noam

Ches 10th, 1385 DR, Year of the Jade Hourglass

The gods can feel what happens to their worshippers, the degree depends on their level of power. Even the least demigod can feel what happens to their worshippers if it effects more then a thousand of them in the past or present. As they move to Lesser, the number is half and the time expands. Intermediate Powers can feel what effects each member of their flock, while Greater Powers can feel what happens to their worshippers even into the future. To give a rough and basic explanation.

Even as just a visitor to this universe, Paradox knew this was so. Aided by his knowledge of the fabric of space time. So when Ben had been weaved into this world, this timeline, it was a sudden shock and jolt since the Greater powers had no forwarning, and it had not been expected by those beneath them.

The power of the Omnitrix would certainly change all of their worshippers' lives. Not to mention the ideas and knowledge Ben held, even if it was not as deep or perfect as others in his home dimension. Ben himself would also likely to have effects on many of the gods here as his heroism and the wisdom gained from his great heart and his hard gained experience. Gained mostly by repeatedly learning things the hardway.

'In many of the worlds which Ben lives, he tends to become it's greatest hero... even when he doesn't gain the Omnitrix and it's sibling devices. Proving it's the spirit inside him, not the watch, which makes him the hero he is.' Thought Paradox as all of the gods worshipped in Faerun, both human and non-human, arrived in the Cynosure. Which was not the form it ususually was.

Instead, Paradox had made arrangements to make it a... much more suitable setting for the mission he was undertaking. In this case, the inside of a Mr. Smoothy restaurant, which suited what was to follow and Paradox's sense of humour. Which he added to by wearing a Mr. Smoothy hat on his head.

The gods had arrived and were confused at the setting, which was more... modern then the world they were use to. Paradox just smiled and spoke up to the mass of deities before him, "Hello everyone. Welcome to Mr. Smoothy! Anyone interested in a gumball smoothy? Special of the day."

"What in the Nine Hells is there?" asked the voice of Lord Bane, God of Fear and Tyrants, speaking first before all of the other deities. Likely seeing this as an outrage and/or slight to his divine personage.

"Lord AO has allowed be access and control of the Cynosure, to better explain the situation which has affected all of you and your worshippers. I did ask him if I could invite the other movers and shakers of the Planes of the Realms, but he is adverse to inviting them here. I'll just have to meet with them elsewhere or individually." The gods were shocked at this being given this much power by the Hidden One, but before they objected, AO made his presence and approval for Paradox known to each god.

Oghma, god of knowledge, was first to question the newcomer. As it was his way of seeking out new information, "What can you tell us of these images of this young man and his strange bracer? Why his image changes as it flickers between different monsters and humanoids?"

"The young man is young Master Benjamin Tennyson, also known as Ben 10, hero of the dimension in the multiverse I originate from. Due to a powerful weapon, he was going to be... eliminated. Then someone in this universe spoke a wish for a hero, for a protector. I was able to use this power to save my friend, but at a cost as he was quanitumly cloned across the multiverse even as a version of him remained in his universe. And none of you understand that completely..." said Paradox as he looked at the confused looks on many of the gods.

Oghma answered for his fellow deities, "He was copied multiple times in a moment, like a clone spells. Those clones were then scattered to different universes, including our own, even as one clone or the original remained in the home universe."

The gods began to understand as Paradox said, "Exactly. Then again not to be unexpected by a God of Knowledge. Ben is a powerful heroic soul in nature, one similar to those song in the performances of the bards of this world. This protector has been allow to gain his fate faster then normal, not that he's not ready for it in most part, by a powerful tool he uses. The tool itself is powerful to change the Balance and what it means to Toril. Allow me to introduce the Omnitrix!"

The image of the bracer appeared in the air in front of the counter Paradox was standing behind, which was soon visible to all gods. Paradox spoke, being careful to make sure the gods knew the power and the seriousness of the device he was revealing to them.

"The Omnitrix is not a magical device but one of technology similar to the works of Lord Gond. Magic, in a different form, does exist in my universe. However, unlike yours, most lifeforms do not harness it. In fact at least one species of beings are immune to it. Instead they harness the physical laws of their universe to make technology.

The device has the power to collect and store the genetic... I mean physical building blocks... of coporeal and sentient lifeforms. Then it allows them to take the form of those beings, called aliens in my world, and use their natural powers. It would be as if a human could use it to become an elf, an orc, a giant, a dragon or whatever. In fact due to an agreement with Lord AO, the building blocks of life my people call DNA from all of the compatable species connected with Toril will be added to the watch, even if the DNA is locked out of Ben's reach for now. It will save him and the world the time it would take to scan every sentient living thing in the world.

Some lifeforms are exempt from this, such as deities like yourselves and other being who could be said not to have DNA or to be sentient. To better show you the power of the Omnitrix I am going to show you Ben's life with the Omnitrix. I have manipulated time to allow all of you to see the events in his life. The moment you entered the Cynosure, time on your planet was basically paused. Given the importance of this, AO has agreed. He also is keeping you all here till I have explained enough to allow you to understand what is going on. Sorry about that." said Paradox as a movie screen appeared in front of the counter and the Mr. Smoothy shifted into a movie theatre.

In a manner of hours, outside of time, the life of Ben 10 was shown. From the first day of the long ago summer trip which changed so many lives to the most recent events of the Incursion Occupation of Earth. The gods, for the most part, reacted as could be predicted. Focusing on the events in Ben's life which could best suit their portfolio and their limited focus on their universe.

Gond was almost drooling over all of the technology which was being used. Talos perked up at images of destruction before him, with Shar joining him when the knowledge the Omnitrix' self-destruct could be used to destroy the universe came up. Sune was mixed between amazed and annoyed at how a man who could earn the love of so many different women could be such a lowsy boyfriend, including the break up with Julie which made the goddess mumble on how she was going to 'fix' things.

Tempus was focus on battles and on the wars, as his Red Knight was looking at the tactics which Ben used even as he seemed to have no order to them. Torm admired the loyalty, determination and heroics of Ben. Even if he didn't seem to follow the rules, which did annoy the god of paladins. Tymora smiled at Ben as he seemed to be a living example of her dogma, while Beshaba frown as she could see her sister's interest. Ben's luck, which seemed to swing from good to bad and even both at once at times, was about to be kicked up a knotch.

Bane was admiring Vilgax, Aggregor and Maleware. Tyrants all three to different degrees. Other dark gods admired these three of Ben's main enemies. Malar held more of an affinity to Khyber the Huntsman as well as the number of predators within the Nemetrix... which gave him ideas to give to his dark druids. While Lathander and Finder Wyvernspur were embracing the redeemption of Kevin Levin and the near redeemption of Charmcaster. Mystra was interested in the Anodites, made up of mana energy which was used for magic, making them into magic elementals. Giving the goddess ideas of what she might be able to do in the realms.

Paradox knew the important moments with the deities would be the issue around Alien X as the story continued. The main focus was on the day the universe was ended by the power of the Anihilaarg, the same day Ben as Alien X recreated an almost exact copy of the universe. Even Ben might make some mistakes or miss some things while remaking all of time and space. The thing was the only being with the same type and level of power of creating a universe would be Lord AO himself. The same being who created and regulated the gods before him. Which suggested Ben's Celestialsapien form was also able to control and change the divine forces, as well as all forces equal to them like the Primordials, Devils, Demons and so on.

Eyes of the deities lit up with fire, or light, or shadows, or whatever approperate. The Professor knew the powers of the Omnitrix were enough to have the immortal forces of Toril fight over them. The power of Alien X, as uncontrollable as they were, were the stuff of envy, fears and powerlusts of the deities. The good would try to take it to keep it from the evil, the evil would try to use it to fulfill their own twisted desires and the neutral would take it for likely both reasons. Paradox was also glad AO had prevented contact from the Avatars here as well as allowing those save Avatar to leave when he allowed it, as from the second Ben jump started a new universe, he knew the gods would have scattered to gain the power.

The life story ended with the end of the Incursion Occuption, when the light returned and Paradox had the Cynosure take the form of Mr. Smoothy. He knew what the gods were going to say from their communications, both vocal and telepathic. Gifts again for this session from the Overgod. He called for silence and spoke to them.

"As you can guess, AO already knows the power of Alien X as well as how all of you would hunt poor Ben to death to get it. Just like some of you did with the Tablets of Fate. Not understanding the nature and the power of those tablets is what brought down so many problems during the Time of Troubles... as well as today. Much is the same as the nature of Alien X, as even if you could get one or both of the aspects of the Celestialsapien to agree with you, there would be effects you didn't figure into it taking place.

I once told a friend, time travel is for fools and immortals. What I didn't say, is most of the time both are one and the same. So is the nature of changing reality. Only those with experience and/or training should do it. Else it leads to madness, which is hard to detect with the power to control reality. For what is madness but living in a different mental reality then most of us as well as the universe, which can change with the power to change existence at a whim to match you madess.

So AO, with his powers over all of you, has made some rules with regard to Ben. With dire punishments to those who violate them, to the point of destroying the god. The powers as well as portfolios of the destroyed god to other gods or even mortals. Which ever is most suitable.

The most important being... Any non-mortal, as specficied by Lord AO, who attempts to directly use the power of a Celestialsapien's power will be destroyed before they can access the power. In other words, only a mortal being can use Alien X's power. However, before you think of killing Ben as one of your worshippers to get the Omnitrix, it should be noted the deviced is keyed to work for Ben only." The Timewalker knew this was a bit of a lie, as Ben or Azmuth could give orders to the device to work with someone else. What the gods didn't know, couldn't hurt Ben, could it?

"I also know of each of you hoping to bribe or use other methods to make Ben do what you want to him to do. Any magic or other forms of control similar in manner over Ben is considered direct manipulation as I have said before. Non-magical bribing, persuasion, duress and such are indirect and allowable. Bewarned, Ben is a clever and intelligent hero. Even if he doesn't seem like it. Put him under duress or try to manipulate him, and it might just be you who is burned. This is a man who helped destroy a demon-god from another dimension. Yes, I know he had help from the Omnitrix and a technological sword which could control magic. You have to remember he still has the Omnitrix, and who says there is not a magical item or artifact which could aid him as such here?

If you were to take my advice and I know some of you will not...*Cough* Cyric *Cough*, you should treat Ben as you would as any other powerful mortal who lives in the realms. As he will have to live under the rules of this universe, such as having a patron deity collect his soul if he dies. Given how flexible those rules could be, it shouldn't be a problem. Just don't expect Ben to play favourites for the god or gods he might choose to follow.

AO will give you the rest of the rules he has come up with regarding Ben. I will be watching as well as I have offered my assistance to Lord AO with certain matters. He could do it himself, but two head are better then one. And there ends our presentation for now. Any other questions could be directed to the Overgod or the list of rules which should be appearing... now!" said Paradox as a large pillar of black jade appeared with eerie glowing runes of green jade. This pillar contained all of AO's rules, punishments and comments about the Omnitrix as well as Ben. It was important enough to enscribe on this indestructible pillar which was just two feet tall in height. It also detained basic information and knowledge of all the unknown lifeforms in the Omnitrix. Which was the knowledge of all aliens within the Omnitrix from the world which Ben and Paradox had come from.

It didn't details all of the secrets of connected with Ben, which were in the Timewaker and the Hidden Ones hands. Hidden from all prying eyes, even those of the Goddess of Secrets and the God of Knowledge. Such as the fact the timeline had been change in both the present and future, but also the past. The realms as they remember it was not the realms as it was before Ben had appeared. Only AO and Paradox knew that... though some people, mortal and immortal, might pick up something being different or changed.

As Paradox vanished, allowing the gods to go free and the Cynosure to return to it's natural form... but not before giving each of the gods smoothies, burgers and chilifries which were meat or vegentarian as suited the god... Paradox returned to aid the Overgod in his mission.

"Are you prepared to aid in their recreation?" asked the Overgod as he looked at a pile of dust, collected from the years since the Avatar Crisis.

"With my powers, we will have all the time in the world and mere nanoseconds will pass else where. So we should be able to recreate and stablize the Tablets of Fate again. Bane and his friends never really understood what they were playing with. Yes, the Tablets of Fate held your power. More then you let on." said Paradox, as he knew the power of the Tablets.

What they were trying to do was reform the tablets which defined the portfolios of the gods, but also defined many of the physical definations of the cosmos which the realms rested. If one could control the tablets, they could control the gods and the essence of the realms themselves. The problem with Bane, Mykrul and Bhaal's scheme was the basic fact only one of Overgod power could use the Tablets. While if they merge they could use their power to control it, their likely lack of unity would doom them to destruction. Yet it was why AO had to act fast and hard to get them back, as they held his power and he had no power over them. Before any gods could unite themselves together and use the tablets all together to change things.

It was also why he had made a law, known only between AO and the Gods of Magic (plus now Paradox), for Mystra to divide her power between gods and choosen. For in a world with such a strong magical base, where magic itself was one of the fundemental forces like how gravity and electro-magnetism was in Ben's world, Mystra and her previous incarnations were so very close to becoming an Overgod. For each cast spell, be it arcane or any other method even the divine magics used by the other gods, gave the goddess of magic strength. Which was why her death had a such an impact, like it would have in the Year of Blue Fire where it would cause the Spellplague.

'Yet there is no year of Blue Fire and therefore no Spellplague. No, there is the Year of the Jade Hourglass in it's place. The future which was in changed. The question is what future Ben will bring to Abeir and Toril?' thought the time traveller as he decided to see it when his tasks with AO and others were done.

Author's Notes:

Quickly...

The information on the Tablets of Fate are based on the limited knowledge of effects of the Sundering event which occurs this August... barring deadlines being missed or Wizards of the Coast being wrong on publishing dates. Plus my artistic lisence, which was renewed for another year on my birthday. The aced the written test but only just passed the art and music tests. As added the idea of Mystra getting power from each spell cast, like how each insult or appeasement might empower gods no one likes... like the Sea Witch with a B.

If you can guess, this is a slightly alternative universe. This is due to Ben being dropped in and the effects a shapeshifting alien hero can have on the realms. It would be like dropping any other major character in the realms. Remember that the realms is magical, including divinations. Hundreds if not thousands or more beings of all types using powers to see the future, all of this happening over millenia. Even if just less then one percent sees the future correctly, there would be information of Ben and his adventures (Past, PRresent and future) lurking in the realms. Information which could be collected and interrupted through the lens of any number of people. Which could effect the realms in little ways... and as said by a wise man, from tiny acorns might oaks grow. So while the majority of the big picture of the realms is the same... the detailed strokes of the image might be completely different.

Also banished the Spellplague, as it was the aftermath of the Mysta's death when Cyric and Shar wanted her power. So why would they continue to want Mystra's power... when they could jump over her power level straight to the power of Alien X. Even if they could not do it directly, there is a lot of ways to do it indirectly.

Review answering time:

I can see Ben more as a Sorcerer then a wizard, as being an Anodite scion is more like being of Dragon or Elemental blood. Wonder what an Omnitrix-user class would be like or even called?

Also most lifeforms in Toril can use magic (at least by third edition, it was just some were better with it then others. Revealed by favourite class and ability scores). So why not have Ben's aliens be able to use magic, even Terraspin whi might be resistant to most spells (just because you are immune to magic, doesn't mean you can use it).

The aliens in the Omnitrix requires, from my research from the show and things like wikias and staff comments from people like Dwayne McDuffie, both sentience of somekind (meaning being intelligent to be sense aware, so a Troll and Ogre would be smart enough to be sentient while a Giant Spider would not) as well as some version of DNA or something similar. It is why Anodites, which are energy beings and have no DNA, are not in the Omnitrix. Most things in Toril would have that.

Things like Gods, Archdevils, Demon Princes, Elemental Lords and such which are ideas made physical then physical beings would not likely be scannable by the Omnitrix. There bodies being like those of Anodites, in my opinion, and not truely them as they are more like energy beings. My question was with lesser immortals/outsiders or elementals, could they be consider to have the equavalent of DNA? Being as outsiders basically disintergrate when destroyed and elementals seem made up of matter then any form of biology?

Well, as I have added all possible DNA in the Omnitrix (to save Ben the time and energy scanning every living thing in the realms) and have decided to have much of it 'locked'... when I decide conclusively, I can unlock them. Of course like Pandora's box/urn/jar, once open it can not be locked again. So constructive and clam commentary on why or why not I should add them would be welcomed.

Thanks for the comments and I hope you have enjoyed this. We will see how far it goes...
