Chapter 2: Two More Recruits
Sonic the Hedgehog was on his usual 100 mile morning jog when Tails flew beside Sonic with his plane, Tornado. Sonic greets him, "Hey Tails! What brings you here?" "Sonic we've got trouble!" Sonic grins, "Eggman Trouble?" Tails nods, "Do you mind putting your jog on hold for a bit?" Sonic replies "Of course! I'm always willing to kick his over-sized butt!"

After a few minutes Sonic and Tails are talking beside a tree. Sonic says, "So what has Robotnixs done this time?" Tails begins to tell the story, "He has captured the seven Chaos Emeralds and is using their energy to power up a machine with an incredible amount of power!" Sonic being his usual "not worried about it" self says, " So Eggman is using the Chaos Emeralds again huh?" Tails nods and continues, "Not only that, but he's also stolen the Master Emerald from Angel Island!" Sonic replies "How did that oversized Egghead take the Master Emerald away from the Hot Head Knuckles?" Tails replies "well this is what Happened…"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flash back
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a quiet day and Knuckles was sitting at the Angel Island Shrine guarding the Master Emerald. When suddenly, Knuckles heard a loud noise, so loud that it shook the ground. Knuckles jumps to his feet, "What in the world!?"
The loud noise boomed again and again. Knuckles thought to himself "that sounds like huge footsteps!" And, Knuckles was right! Just as Knuckles uttered those words, he saw a huge robot, state-of-the-art technology, piloted by no other than Eggman!!
Knuckles yells to Eggman, "Eggman! What are you doing here!?" Eggman replies "I've come to take the Master Emerald off your hands!" Knuckles growls and yells "Not if I can help it!"
Knuckles then charges at Eggman's giant robot. Eggman just laughs and says to himself, I thought you might say that!" Eggman pressed a button and the robot shot out a huge blue beam at Knuckles which sent him flying backwards slamming into a mountain wall.
Eggman then says "Now that; that Knucklehead is out of the way I'll just take the Master Emerald and be on my way." Eggman then commanded the robot to grab the Emerald. But, just as he was about to grab the Emerald, Knuckles punched the Robot's hand so hard that the hand of the robot broke off the robot's arm.
Eggman seeing this yells "Why you little….!" Eggman then quickly commands the robot to punch knuckles with it's only other hand. Knuckles tries to dodge but the fist just slammed into him at a very fast pace. Knuckles once again slams into the mountain wall and this time he losses consciousness.
Eggman then takes the Emerald and says angrily "That stupid Knucklehead broke my Robot's right hand. That hand took forever to built! Well at least I have the Master Emerald now!" Eggman then leaves with his robot.
After a few more minutes Tails arrives in the Tornado and revives Knuckles! Knuckles comes too, "Ughhh what Happened?" Tails replies, "You tell me. When I was flying overhead I saw you on the ground unconsciousness and the Master Emerald gone!" Knuckles then says angrily "Grrr! Now I remember! That butthead Eggman took it!" Tails is shocked! "How did that happen?!" Knuckles then tells Tails what had happened just a few minutes ago. Knuckles says "I have to get the Master Emerald back!" Tails agrees. "But Knuckles, you don't know what Eggman could do to you if you go. Let's go find Sonic! Then we can think of a plan to retrieve the Master Emerald."
Knuckles cannot wait. "I have to go now Tails! My people protected the Master Emerald with their lives! I am the only one left! I can't let my brethren down! They sacrificed their lives protecting the Emerald from Danger! So I have to go Tails! I'm sorry." Knuckles then runs off without waiting for a reply.
Tail's then thinks to himself "How is he going to find Eggman in the first place? Oh well, I guess I should go tell Sonic about this." Tails then get's back into his plane and flies off.

End Flashback
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sonic listens as Tails tells the whole story. When Tails finishes, Sonic says, "So Knuckles is going to Eggman's base huh?" "Yeah, but he has no idea where it is. Which is why I'm going to try to locate it on my plane's computer." Sonic replies, while looking in another direction, "Uh, Tails that won't be necessary. I can see Robotnix's base from here." Tails shrugs his shoulders, "Oh well then never mind." Sonic stands and says, "Let's go and kick that Eggman's big fat butt Tails!" Sonic and Tail dash off to Eggman's base.
Tails tries to rein in his friend! "Sonic wait! Shouldn't we come up with a plan first!" but Sonic has gotten too far ahead and can't hear. Tails sighs and heads back to his plane to catch up with Sonic.
Sonic arrives at the entrance of Eggman's base and waits for Tails, who arrives a few minutes later. Smirking, Sonic says to Tails, "Hey, Tails! What kept ya?" Tails is about to reply when he spots Knuckles running into Eggman's base. Tails calls out to him in a loud whisper, "Knuckles!" Sonic sees Knuckles as well. Knuckles sees Tails, but keeps right on running, "Sorry! I can't talk Tails. I've got to get the Master Emerald back!" Knuckles stops as Sonic says, "Whoa! Hold up Knuckles! You can't just expect to barge into Eggman's place and take the Master Emerald from him do ya?" Knuckles replies "Isn't that what you're about to do?" Sonic replies, "Yes, but I am a Professional. Breaking into Egghead's bases and foiling his plans is my specialty. I'll get your Master Emerald back for ya and I'll grab the Chaos Emerald too." Knuckles replies "Sonic.. I don't know." But Sonic just says, "Trust me!" Knuckles gives him one long hard stare and says "Alright Sonic, but I expect for you to bring the Master Emerald back to me!" "Of course!" Sonic and Knuckles shake hands and Sonic turns to Tails. "Tails you wait out here with Knuckles and I'll take care of Egghead!" Without waiting for a reply, Sonic dashes into Eggman's base.
As Sonic runs into the base, Eggman watches him on the monitors and says to no one in particular, "So Sonic, you've come to foil my plans eh?"
Sonic is bashing his way through numerous Eggman machines and robots using his homing attack. Eventually he makes his way to a large gap in the floor and on the other side he sees huge doors that leads to Eggman's control base of operations. Sonic notices the 5 floating eggman robots over the gap in the floor and grins. "So you think this is going to stop me Egghead!? Think again!" Sonic then uses his homing attack to destroy each Eggman robot while moving over the gap. Once he arrives at the huge doors, Sonic easily knocks it down with a charged up spin dash.
Eggman, who has been watching all the action, grins evilly. "Ah Sonic! You are just in time to witness my latest invention!" Eggman presses a button and four mechanical arms come from the walls and each one grabs one of Sonic's limbs. Surprised, Sonic yells, "What are you planning to do Eggman!?" Eggman presses another button and just says, "This!" With that, a wall opens up to reveal a huge device with a bright object at the very top. In the sockets of the machine are the Chaos Emeralds. Eggman then shows Sonic the Master Emerald before he starts bringing it to the machine. "You see Sonic," Eggman began, "the moment I place the Master Emerald into this socket of my machine, the Machine will spread a deadly radioactive wave all around the globe making everyone bloat up! So much that they won't even be able to move. And only I know how to reverse the effect and, the only way I'll reverse it is if they make me Ruler of the World." Eggman laughs his evil laugh, "Mwah, ha, ha!" Sonic, trying to distract Eggman, yells at him, "You really think your going to get away with this!" Sonic secretly tries to wriggle one of his hands free of the machines grip. Eggman looks at Sonic and recaps, "Hmm let's see your captured and there is no one else here to stop me. Yep I think I'm going to get away with it!" Eggman turns and begins to put the Master Emerald into the final available socket on the Machine.
Sonic manages to free one of his hands from the mechanical arms. He takes out his communicator that Tails gave him and mutters to himself, "Sorry Tails." Sonic throws the communicator at the button on the console freeing the rest of his limbs from the mechanical arms. Eggman turns around and is shocked! "Sonic how did you escape?" Sonic winks at him and replies with a smirk, "You've really got to make better traps for me Eggman." Sonic then runs towards Eggman. Eggman runs to the device. "Oh, if I can just put the Master Emerald into the last socket…….." But, Eggman is quickly nailed in the back by Sonic's homing attack and falls to the ground. He drops the Master Emerald and Sonic makes a leap and catches it neatly. "Well Eggman looks like I win!" Eggman leaps to his feet and presses a button on his watch. A small floating egg-shaped chair comes out of nowhere to Eggman and he climbs on. "You've may have won this time Sonic but I'll get you next Time!" The Chair flies off with Eggman through a hatch which closes behind them! Sonic then grabs all 7 seven chaos emeralds from their sockets and puts them in his fur (Along with the Master Emerald), looks around and says, "Well looks like I'm done here!" Just as he is about to leave, he hears an unfamiliar voice…….
"Time Out!"
Confused, Sonic looks around. "What's going on?" Sonic spots a weird looking person floating in the air, shape-shifting from toddler to prime age to elderly in no particular order. Sonic says to the shape, "So, who are you supposed to be? The grim reaper?" The person just ignores that comment and says "I need your help Sonic."
Sonic is shocked. "First off, with what do you need my help? And second, how do you know my name. And third, and perhaps most importantly, who are you?" The shape replies, "I am Clockwork. And I have been watching you, Sonic, through my Time Portal. Upon seeing your skills, I believe that you would be an excellent hero to assist young Daniel in his mission to stop a woman by the name of Jean Gray from destroying the Universe from her world. She is extremely powerful and can vaporize people in a matter of seconds." Sonic smirks, " A woman who can vaporize people? Sounds like my kind of woman!" Sonic says, "Alright Clockwork, (Sonic uses the air quote thing while saying Clockwork) I'll help but first I have to tell my friends where I am going. Not to mention that if I don't return the Master Emerald to Knuckles he's going to kill me." Clockwork replies "You don't have anything to worry about that Sonic I will freeze time so when you return it will be like you never left." Sonic grins, "So you can freeze time huh?" Clockwork responds, "Yes I'm the master of time!" Sonic concedes, "Well since you are so kind enough to freeze time for me I guess it would be rude not to go. But I have a question, who is Daniel?" Clockwork replies, "You'll know soon enough." and with that Clockwork teleport himself and Sonic to his lair in the Ghost Zone.

Ben's part
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa Max were driving in the RV to Colorado when Gwen says, "Ben! Give me back my Laptop!" Ben holds the laptop high in the air, "What's the Magic word?" Gwen just says angrily, "Now!" She kicks Ben in the shin. Ben yells "Ow!" and that kick forces him to drop Gwen's Laptop, which Gwen then catches. Ben yells to grandpa Max "Grandpa!" Grandpa Max replies, "Knock it off you two! We're still hours away from any civilization!" Ben and Gwen apologize together, "Sorry Grandpa." Then they give each other evil glares.

Ben 10's Theme Song (Sorry I didn't really know Ben's Theme Song)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It started when a alien device did what it did
It stuck itself upon his wrist the secret that it is
Now he's got super powers he's no ordinary Kid
He's Ben 10
How many aliens from earth is there?
He'll never stop till he saves the day
Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day
He's Ben 10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a few hours of driving something huge lands on the RV and the RV shakes and shudders. They then hear a familiar sound they all know too well
"Guess who's back Doofus!"
Ben says, "Kevin and I know just who will take care of him!" Ben cycles the Omnitrix until it reaches four arms and slams down the button. A green flash of light fills the RV. Once it is gone Ben Is now shown to be Four Arms. Ben roars, "That freak is going down!" Ben opens the side of the moving van. Max yells, too late, "Ben no wait!" Ben is already out and on top of the RV about to face Kevin. Kevin laughs at him, You picked that alien freak?? That is so typical of you, nerd!" Ben jumps to ready stance, "Enough talk, let's brawl!" Kevin replies, "You took the words right out of my mouth!"
Ben charges at Kevin, a move which knocks both of them off the top of the RV. The RV stops pretty quickly after this. Kevin knocks Ben off of him and, using his Diamondhead arm, launches crystals at Ben. Ben punches his way through and tries to give Kevin nasty uppercuts but Kevin knocks him back with a punch of his own. Kevin uses his super speed and gives Ben another huge punch sending him flying into a pile of rocks.
Ben scrambles to his feet, "Now I know how a cannonball feels when they get shot through a cannon." Ben then picks up rock after rock and throws them at Kevin who manages to dodge some, but gets nailed with the rest. While he is recovering, Ben quickly runs up and gives Kevin a devastating punch which sends him flying into some rocks as well. Kevin, knowing he is hurt from crashing into the rocks, gets up and says, "You got lucky this time nerd! But next time you're mine!" Kevin then uses his super speed and disappears.
Gwen and Max come walking up. Max does NOT look happy with Ben. Ben's watch starts beeping red and in a flash of red light Ben is back to his normal self. Grandpa Max barks at Ben. "Ben I told you to stay in the RV! Kevin could have seriously injured you!" Ben is not phased. "Hey! I fought Kevin multiple times! What makes you so concerned about this time??" Max starts to reply when another voice cuts in………
"Time Out!"
Ben is puzzled. "Huh? What was that guys?" When no answer comes, Ben turns to look at Gwen and Grandpa Max. "Guys!? Hello!?" The mysterious voice continues, "They're frozen in time." Shocked, Ben replies, "What!?" He turns around to see what looks like a ghost. The shape of which keeps changing from a toddler to a adult to a elderly man and back again. Angrily, Ben shouts at the Ghost like figure, "Who are you and what do you want!?" The shape speaks, "I am Clockwork and I see you have the ability to change into different beings with that device of yours. This is an ability that would be most helpful to me. You see I want you to help save a world from destruction." "Not so fast!" Ben replies, angry at the shape, "What about my Grandpa and my Cousin Gwen!" Clockwork assures Ben, "Like I said before they are frozen in time for I am the ghost master of time." Ben asks, "You're a Ghost?" Clockwork smiles. "Indeed." Ben is not sure about the ghost's request. "As much as I love to save worlds from destruction. I just can't leave my world defenseless." Clockwork replies "I'm the master of time young Ben! Your world will remain just as it is until you return." Ben is curious. "How do you know my name?" Clockwork replies "Now is not the time to discuss that. Are you willing to come with me and help save another world?" Ben thinks long and hard and then says, "I will, but if your lying to me.." Ben then shows his Omnitrix which is glowing green (Which means he can use it again) to Clockwork "Your going to wish you hadn't!"
Clockwork replies "Understood." and he teleports himself and Ben to his lair in the Ghost Zone.
