AN: Sorry for the long wait. I had a lot of stuff to do and had no time to write. But here's the third chapter! Enjoy! Also, I have a poll on my profile for a new Ulitmate alien. Chose the alien, and give me some idea for new powers :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 or Young Justice.

Chapter 3: Humiliation

Ben was running as fast as he could when The Flash and Kid Flash caught up with him easily at 500 miles per hour right as they crossed into New York City. Ben saw the two speedsters and decided to take care of them and raced into an alley way right next to him. He then stopped and turned around.

The Flash stopped with Kid Flash right behind him and said "Halt! You are under arrest for attacking the Justice League and the Team."

"Anything else?" XLR8 asked, "Cause I'm outta here."

With that said he hit the Ultimatrix on his chest and transformed with the usual green light.

"DIAMONDHEAD!"

For some reason this transformation still shocked the two speedsters and Ben took advantage of this distraction. He shot a round of diamond shards at them and they reacted and sidestepped the deadly shards.

Suddenly, diamonds grew around them and encased them in a shell. The Flash easily vibrated out of them but Kid Flash couldn't do that without exploding the crystal.

The Flash looked at Wally for a second to make sure he was okay and Diamondhead took advantage of the distraction and punched Barry Allen into the wall.

The famous Flash smashed into the wall and fell unconscious as Kid Flash watched in horror. Ben then created diamond platforms and jumped up to the rooftop when a laser beam hit him in the chest into the middle of Time Square.

A bunch of pedestrians gathered around Ben as he got up, taking pictures and video, when a green cage surrounded Diamondhead.

"Attention! You are under arrest for attacking the Justice League and the Team, as well as half destroying Mount Justice!" Green Lantern Hal Jordan said, his voice booming across Time Square, as six of the seven original Justice League members landed in a circle around Ben.

"Is that all?" Ben asked sarcastically, "Cause this is getting old."

He then tapped the Ultimatrix again and when the green light died down, there was nothing in the cage.

"Where did he go?" Superman asked as everyone looked around for the shape-shifting creature.

"He's gone, but I'll have the team track the thing down and bring it back for interrogation." Batman replied.

-The Cave, the next day-

"Team, your mission is to track down the shape-shifting creature, designated 'Transformer'." Batman said. "You are to leave immediately in the bioship and track down the energy signature whenever it appears. Also, to begin your search start at the last know location of the signature, which is in NYC. Dismissed."

"Alright, payback time!" Wally said as the team walked to the hanger and boarded the bioship.

-New York City, the same time-

Ben yawned as he walked out of the cheap motel he had slept in for the night. He would have already created diamonds with Diamondhead last night but he was too lazy and he didn't want to attract anymore attention to himself.

Time to become rich. Ben smiled as he walked into an empty alleyway and activated the Ultimatrix.

"DIAMONDHEAD!"

He then proceeded to shot several rounds of diamonds into the ground. After this he pulled the diamonds out of the ground and transformed back into Ben.

Ben put the diamonds into his jacket and pant pockets and walked out of the alley humming, looking for a jewelry store.

-On the bioship-

"Scanners just picked up the energy signature briefly in Lower Manhattan." M'gann said from her pilot seat.

"Did you get a specific location?" Robin asked.

"Negative. The energy signature was too powerful for the scanners." M'gann replied.

"Alright, take us to Lower Manhattan. We'll start our search there." Robin said.

-1 Hour Later-

Ben walked out of the fifth jewelry store he had visited with his pockets full of cash and devoid of diamonds.

I have 10000 dollars in my pockets right now, probably a good idea to find a place for the night and a laptop. Ben was thinking when he saw Robin jump from a rooftop.

Oh great, now those teenage sidekicks are after me. Ben thought as he rushed into an appliances store that sold high quality laptops, according to the sign plastered across the window.

Ben quickly scanned the aisles and found the best laptop the store had. Even though the price was very high, money wasn't a problem now for Ben Tennyson.

He quickly paid for the laptop, and hurried out of the store only to be nearly knocked down by a yellow blur.

"Woah! Sorry dude!" Kid Flash said as ran off again.

Hmmmm they don't seem that bad. Ben thought as he walked toward a 5 star hotel.

-2 hours later-

Team, status report. Robin said into the telepathic link.

Nothing still. Superboy replied.

I'm hungry. KF said.

A no for me and idiot here. Artemis also said.

Everyone else? Robin asked.

No, sorry Robin. Everyone else replied at the same time.

Alright, we'll take a break on the bioship. Robin said again.

Jeez, you'd think a shape shifting alien thing would be easier to find. Wally said as he raced back to the bioship, hungry for snacks.

-At the same time, in a five star hotel-

Ben got out of the shower and changed into some pajamas he had bought in the hotel with some money.

"Ahhhh, this is the life." Ben said to himself as he collapsed on his bed.

"Well, time to get to work. First, I think I'm going to need an identity in this universe."

He opened up his laptop and turned it on. Then he activated the Ultimatrix and selected Upgrade.

"UPGRADE!"

Ben then morphed with the laptop and hacked into several government databases and created himself an identity. He then shipped a hard copy of the identification to his room in the hotel. After this he created himself a bank account and unattached himself from the laptop.

"Time to cash in a huge deposit." Ben said as he transformed into XLR8 and raced to the nearest bank.

-At the same time on the bioship-

Beep beep beep

"Everyone up!" Robin yelled. "The energy signature has been activated! Everyone get out there and looking for the 'Transformer'!"

-In front of a bank-

Ben stopped in front of the 24 hour bank and transformed back to human. He then walked in and deposited all of his cash money.

As he was walking out the teenage heroes dropped down in front of him and raced toward him.

"Hey you!" Robin yelled at Ben.

"Yes?" Ben asked warily, thinking that might have figured out who he was.

"Have you seen an shape shifting alien around here?" Robin asked.

"Nope. I think I would have noticed." Ben replied with relief.

"Ok, thanks." Robin said as the team spread out, obviously looking for Ben.

Ben nodded and walked away whistling, thinking how close of a call that was.

-2 days later-

Ben was lounging in his penthouse, thinking about the last two days. So much had happened, in so little time.

After the encounter at the bank, Ben had waited for his copy of identification and then used Graymatter to create himself a fortune by investing in the stock market. After this, Ben had bought a penthouse and bought the parts needed to create alien technology.

The first thing he made was an energy disrupter that spread out the Ultiamtrix's energy signature across the city so the Justice League never had an exact location. The next thing he did was upgrade the penthouse with alien tech and an advanced AI that scanned the news for danger in the city.

Right when Ben was about to fall asleep, the AI turned on the TV, showing a scene of a robot that was fighting the teen heroes in Time Square. The bad thing though, was that the super heroes were losing and Ben knew what he had to do-hero time.
