Hello Everybody! Btr100 over here with the 12th chapter of my story, Ben 10: The Faction Returns...

Well, after Captain Nemesis AKA Overlord, Will Harangue (AKA the stupid reporter) and Charmcaster AKA Hope made their first reappearances on B10:TFR, time to break that streak with the first chapter that has the main plot and the subplot!

I noticed that every one of my chapters of this story only has one plot, so I decided to change it a bit, as I have thought a plot for Hope and Gwen and a plot for the men trio.

For the readers of Pokemon: The Championship Tournament, I am sorry, but I have lost some motivation for writing the next chapter and it will be on hiatus. Sorry...until further notice.

Peace!-Btr100


Well, everyone in this entire planet knows that life has very hard challenges. Difficulties. Problems. And other things that we will meet during our journey from childhood, to teenage years, to young adulthood, to adulthood. Everybody knows that right?

Right?

(You're a total idiot if you don't know that...)

Well, if you think you're having a bad day, tell your problem to Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, a 23 year old man who is about to be literally ripped into pieces by his crazy teenage fans while expecting a normal day at Jimmy's apartment.

So in short, life is hard...

Very hard indeed...

But the life of a superhero who saved the Universe and other dimensions a couple of times, defeated super alien freaks who wanted the power of the device he is wearing on his wrist, defeated a nearly Omnipotent 'God' who almost successfully forced every other inhabitants of Earth under his control, and is currently about to be killed by his 'adoring fans' is..Even...HARDER!

"WE LOVE YOU BEN!" said a crazy girl, holding a sign that says "I love Ben Tennyson!"

"WILL YOU MARRY ME BEN?!" a blonde girl crazily shouted as she was about to rip Ben's shirt off, creeping out the young superhero even more...and makes him want to think about going Clockwork and preventing Jimmy from downloading that video to the entire world.

"GIVE ME A SMOOCHY SMOOCHY BENNY!" shouted a crazed fan that was really yanking and was about to rip Ben's hair out of his head. Can anyone imagine a bald Ben? Anyone? Anyone at all?

"I take those words that I love being famous! I don't even want to be famous anymore! I want my secret identity back!" Ben shouted, before the Omnitrix core popped out, and Ben slapped it down, the transformation sequence beginning.

(Grey and black fur then started to form all over Ben's body, from his wrist where his Omnitrix was located to his eye. As he closed his eyes, he opened them again, his eyes turning into pure green eyes. His ears then became pointed, his arms and legs grew buffer and his finger and toe nails became claws. He then grew a tail and he did a pose, a green flash appearing on the background.)

"Blitzwolfer!" the wolf-like alien shouted, before roaring loudly at the swarm of crazed fans. It was successful to scare away some of the fans, but majority of the fans still stayed on the area, their craze for Ben getting even worse.

"Oh My God! Ben just turned into a werewolf! We are the vampires Tennysoners! As I know from Twilight, we are supposed to destroy them! Attack!" a crazed fan who is in front of the swarm, and the crazed girls started to dogpile poor Blitzwolfer.

"Bad idea to turn into someone who is based on the antagonist from the Twilight series!" Blitzwolfer shouted as he was about to get dogpiled by the swarm of ladies. If he was in his human form, he'd be dead by now.

A green flash then forced the girls to cover their eyes, and the alien was so big that the ones dogpiling Ben were knocked down the ground. When the fans opened their eyes, they screamed in horror as their eyes met:

"Frankenstrike!" the alien based on the Frankenstein monster shouted, before looking at the now terrified fans, and smirked as his hands began to cackle with electricity.

"Oh My God! He's going to kill us! Run for your lives!" the same crazed fan in front of the swarm shouted.

And they did what the girl said: they ran for their lives until they were out from Frankenstrike's sight. Frankenstrike laughed and laughed as he reverted back to Ben and he was laughing so hard, that some people saw him rolling on the ground, laughing like a maniac.

Ben then stood up again, his laugh turning into a chuckle until it eventually stopped.

"I wonder how it would do if I turned into Humungousaur?" Ben asked himself, before walking back towards his car and drove towards Jimmy's apartment. Apparently, the crazed fans had to throw rocks at the car's glass and even flattened the tires using various pointed objects, but luckily, Ben installed an auto-repair program on his car, with the car repairing itself in seconds.

Minutes later, he arrived at Jimmy's apartment.

As, Jimmy's room was on the top floor, Ben had to climb lots of stairs and as he got there, he had to avoid teenage fans.

Females...specifically.

When he arrived at Jimmy's room, he knocked on the door, which was quickly opened by Jimmy himself, as his mom went out grocery shopping.

"Hey Ben! What brings you to my place?" Jimmy asked the young man in front of him.

"Oh nothing Jim-jim. Just wanted to check how your doing, and I can't think of any place in where crazy girls may find me and rip my hair, shirt, hand or even my entire body apart!" Ben replied as he entered Jimmy's room.

"I'm doing great Ben. Don't worry about me. Although I am more concerned about something else..." Jimmy said.

"What is it Jimmy? Girlfriend issues?" Ben asked while smirking at the last part he said, causing Jimmy to elbow him at the left very hard. Hard enough for Ben to shout softly at the pain Jimmy gave him.

"No! But..take a look at some news reports and see if you know the dates of your missions.." Jimmy said as he went to his computer and typed something on the search engine before pressing enter. He then click on a search result about various news reports of Ben Tennyson.

They then watched the first video which was a news report of Will Harangue Nation.

"Welcome folks on the Will Harangue Nation. Today, we will be talking about the alien menace Ben Tennyson really is." Will said, looking at the camera, before a screen appeared next to him and it showed a footage of Rath robbing a bank and nearly killing the guards and some police officers who tried to stop them. In this video, Rath looked the same. Green Omnitrix symbol with the only difference being Rath's yellow eyes.

"Robbing a bank? Now Ben Tennyson just makes me plain sick. Viewers. You decide on whether Ben Tennyson is an alien menace or-" Will said but was interrupted as Jimmy paused the video.

"What!? Albedo! He has to be behind this! Maybe he even stole an Omnitrix core from Azmuth to build his Omnitrix or Ultimatrix again!" Ben shouted angrily as he was about to leave, but Jimmy grabbed his arm.

"Hold right there Ben. I know lots of information about your villains and Albedo has red eyes. Not yellow." Jimmy informed Ben, who hasn't noticed Rath's different eye color.

"Whoever he or she is. He or She is not a very good Ben Ten wannabe." Ben said as he left Jimmy's room.

Meanwhile...

Gwen and Charmcaster are in Gwen's house, where Charmcaster is teaching Gwen all the spells, tricks and other feats she knows but she took off the Alpha Rune just to be fair. Charmcaster was very surprised by Gwen's fast learning skills, as all of the spells she showed her are quickly learned by Gwen and even performed it better than Charmcaster.

Before the spell demonstration, Charmcaster thought Gwen about the secrets of magic and taught Gwen about knowing the secret true name of things and that names are power in learning magic, and also explained to her that Magic isn't as tough as it seems.

"Okay Gwen. I gotta say I'm very impressed. You really are a fast learner and a better spell user than me, despite being self-taught." Charmcaster said as she put the Alpha Rune back in her neck with Gwen smiling.

"Believe me or not, I learned how to do the spells you just showed me a couple of years ago." Gwen said, still smiling.

"Really? No wonder you managed to do those spells better than me." Charmcaster said.

They then laughed, before Gwen interrupting it.

"I wonder if any villains will attack us this day. Or if Ben's going to call for help." Gwen said, with Charmcaster chuckling.

"Don't worry Gwenny. A few hours later, Ben is going to call for backup or possibly a few minutes later, an old rival of Ben will come crashing into the wall, try to knock us out and then threaten Ben to give him the Omnitrix or else we will be killed." Charmcaster said.

"Oh, that's impossible. I saw you turn intangible!" Gwen said.

"Yeah, but they might rip off the Alpha Rune or give me a power-neutralizing collar or something." Charmcaster said, but then a few seconds later, a loud BOOM! was heard. The two girls then looked to see Khyber and his dog standing there, with Khyber literally ready to assassinate someone.

"Khyber!" Gwen shouted.

"Tennyson is too boring nowadays. It's your turn. Missy." Khyber said, as he fired his laser eyes at the two girls. Both Gwen and Charmcaster then managed to dodge the lasers, before their hands glowed pink with mana and magic.

"You again? Let's make this quick lover-boy." Charmcaster said, before firing pink energy beams from her eyes. Zed then transformed into Crabdozer and took the attack, although it managed to sent her flying out of the house and into a car and then into another house.

"I take the dumb mutt Gwen. You take pretty face over here." Charmcaster said as she ran towards Crabdozer.

Gwen then narrowly dodged one of Khyber's laser beams, before firing multiple blasts of mana from her hands, but Khyber did a couple of backflips and sidesteps to dodge them while doing a frontflip to slowly advance towards Gwen.

"Eradiko!" Gwen shouted as she fired multiple streams of mana from her hands. The streams of mana then wrapped around and all over Khyber, before turning into a large sphere of mana which imprisoned Khyber inside.

"Okay Khyber. You can leave like always, or we can do this the hard way, just like you always wanted." Gwen said, with Khyber chuckling.

"Oh Gwen Tennyson. I'm the greatest huntsmen in the Galaxy. I always want the hard way." Khyber said as he used his laser eyes as an attempt to break the mana sphere, but the sphere was too strong even for Khyber to break.

"Khyber. Your just wasting your strength." Gwen said, mocking the huntsman in front of her.

"I don't have to. Cancelatto!" Khyber shouted, and seconds later, the mana sphere around him quickly disappeared, with Gwen very surprised.

(A/N: Forgive me, but in making spells out of my own, I am so terrible at it..)

"As said by your sorceress friend fighting my loyal dog, magic isn't as tough as it seems, as you only need to know the true name of things." Khyber said, before taking out his hunting rifle and firing multiple energy blasts at Gwen, who easily dodged them.

Gwen then fired two mana beams around Khyber, which then turned into giant fists and it wrapped all over him, grabbing him, before tossing him into a lamp pole, and he skidded into the wall, effectively bashing through.

Charmcaster was then skidding into the streets as she crashed into a car. She then stood up and the camera scene changes to reveal Zed as Tyrannopede walking towards Charmcaster. She then transformed herself into Omnivoracious and flew several feet away from the ground. Charmcaster then levitated herself.

"Ooh. Your starting to impress me, Ben-copying dog. Now it's my turn!" Charmcaster shouted before firing several magic bolts from her hands and Omnivoracious easily dodged them. Omnivoracious the flew off and Charmcaster gave chase.

In the sky, Charmcaster repeatedly fired several types of beams from her hands or eyes in an attempt to stop Omnivoracious in her tracks, but the Galvan predator was just too fast enough for the sorceress.

Charmcaster then fired a small blast of purple flames from her hand and it managed to hit Omnivoracious's wing, crystallizing it, making it too heavy for Omnivoracious and sending her flying down, with Charmcaster looking in amusement.

Meanwhile, Khyber engaged Gwen in hand-to-hand combat, with Gwen proving herself to be able to match and counter Khyber's quick hits and punches. Luckily for her, karate classes did paid off and her black belt did came handy. She then blocked another punch, before attempting to kick the huntsmen, but he quickly dodged it and kicked Gwen and sent her back.

"You are quick and agile Anodite. But it just needs a little more power." Khyber said, but before he can do anything else, Omnivoracious then fell on him, with the crystal on Omnivoracious' wing breaking. Khyber then threw her off as she reverted back to Zed.

But then, Khyber narrowly dodged another purple fire blast, with the road turning into hot tar and Khyber nearly fell right into it. Khyber looked as Charmcaster landed beside Gwen and her eyes glowed pink.

"Give it up Khyber. There's no way you can beat the both of us!" Charmcaster shouted, but then Gwen suddenly pushed her out of the way, and narrowly dodged a red laser blast from the sky. The two girls then looked up to see Malware, flying high in the sky, his right hand turned into a laser cannon. Malware then landed right next to Khyber and his dog, who just regained consciousness.

"What a pathetic display of amusement Khyber. From now on, I will be doing your job of killing Ben Tennyson and absorbing the Omnitrix." Malware said as he shot an optic laser beam, which the girls easily dodged. Khyber then prepared his hunting rifle, Zed transformed into Mucilator and Malware turned his right hand into a bio-battling gun.

The two girls then looked at each other and nodded, before preparing their powers.

Meanwhile...

At a Forever Knights' Castle, a Forever Knight is shown to be thrown into the wall and was knocked unconscious. Several knights were then shown to be charging with their energy swords and shields ready. The camera then pans over to a yellow-eyed Humungousaur, battling the Forever Knights.

(A/N: After the war with Diagon and the Esoterica and the death of Sir George, the Knights were still active but still believed that all aliens are evil and their belief went worse after the war, so they spent several years collecting technology and attacking several aliens who got in their way. They still don't know Undertown yet. Their have their UA appearances.)

The Forever Knights then attempted to slash Humungousaur with their energy swords, but Humungousaur evaded their attacks and used his tail to send them all flying and effectively knocking them out too.

Some Forever Knights then appeared on the scene and fired several laser blasts, most of the blasts hitting Humungousaur and managing to send him backwards. This, however, made him even more annoyed and slammed on the ground, creating a large shockwave that managed to destroy the entire castle and obviously knocked out the remaining Knights.

"That's the 5th castle today. Now for the next one-" Humungousaur said, before he was blasted from behind. This made Humungousaur angry and annoyed.

"Alright! Whoever blasted me is going to get pounderized by the might of Humungousau-" Humungousaur shouted before he was suddenly thrown into a nearby tree, knocking the tree down. The attack didn't do much to Humungousaur, as it only made him even more annoyed.

The camera then reveals Gravattack, Rook and Kevin standing near the castle debris, with Rook preparing his Proto-TOOL and Kevin absorbing the rock of the debris, turning himself into his stone form. Gravattack was just as angry as the yellow-eyed Humungousaur.

"Ben Tennyson. We meet at last." Humungousaur said.

"Yeah. It's me. Now what do you want? Why are you destroying the Forever Knights and what do you want with me!?" Gravattack angrily asked the yellow-eyed Humungousaur.

"Oh, destroying the Forever Knights was just a trap. And since you're in here, I will destroy you Ben Tennyson and take over this planet!" Humungousaur shouted, before he charged at Gravattack, Rook and Kevin.

"Yep. That's what they all say." Gravattak said, before he used his Gravikinesis to stop Humungousaur in his tracks and lift him in the air. Gravattack then slammed the Vaxasaurian on the ground several times, before forcing Humungousaur into a high altitude. Gravattack then let go of his Gravikinesis and Humungousaur fell from the sky and crashed into the ground, causing large amounts of dust to fly.

A green flash was then seen from the cloud of dust, and a yellow-eyed Jetray flew out of the dust cloud and fired some neuroshock blasts, which managed to hit Gravattack but it only did minimum damage to the Galilean.

"Ouch. They really do sting." Gravattack said, before using his Gravikinesis to slam Jetray down into the ground.

Jetray then transformed himself into Cannonbolt and rolled and tackled Gravattack and sent the Galilean skidding on the ground and crashing into a nearby rock. Rook then fired several laser blasts at Cannonbolt, but Cannonbolt's shell made the blasts ineffective.

Kevin then ran in front of Rook and made his hands larger. Cannonbolt then rolled into Kevin, but Kevin managed to block the rolling alien in its tracks while being sent back. After a few seconds, Kevin managed to effectively stop Cannonbolt in its tracks and turned his hands big enough to cover Cannonbolt. Kevin then threw him in the air.

In the air, Cannonbolt was then suddenly slammed down into the ground again. Kevin and Rook turned to see Gravattack, his hands glowing green.

"Time to teach this Ben-copying doofus a lesson!" Gravattack said, before transforming himself into:

"Humungousaur!" he shouted, before slapping his Omnitrix symbol, turning himself into:

"Ultimate Humungousaur!" the evolved Vaxasaurian shouted, before firing several missiles at Cannonbolt. All of the missiles hit Cannonbolt and sent him flying into the air and skidding on the ground.

Cannonbolt was then knocked unconscious on the spot, and he then transformed into a yellow eyed Eatle. The difference is, the Omnitrix symbol is not on his chest, but on the wrist. In fact, the Omnitrix similar to the prototype Omnitrix is on his left wrist while there was a black gauntlet on his right hand.

"An Orictyni?" Rook asked no one in particular.

"With an Omnitrix?" Ben asked as well.

The Orictyni then regained consciousness and punched Rook in the face, hard enough to send him backwards and tackled Kevin and used its horn, sending Kevin flying an crashing into the ground with a thud. The Orictyni then faced Ben.

"Ben Tennyson. We finally meet face-to-face." The Orictyni.

"Who are you!? What do you want!?" Ben angrily asked.

"I am Gilvix. In my planet, Coleop Terra, our daily activities were similar to that of Humans'. We eat, learn in school, have a job, and many more. I was considered a 'nothing' and my fellow Orictyni would beat me up or defeat me in a battle. But, I have intelligence that is superior to a Cerebrocrustacean's and can equal a Galvan's. So, I went to Galvan Prime and became Azmuth's assistant along with a Chimera Gui Genesis named Myaxx. My intellect was far superior than Myaxx's, being able to greatly assist Azmuth in the creation in the Omnimatrix, the Prototype Omnimatrix and the Ultimate Omnimatrix." Gilvix said, telling Ben his life story.

"After several days in assisting Azmuth in his creation of the Omnimatrix, I grew jealous of the receiver of the Prototype Omnimatrix and Albedo managing to create his own Omnitrix, so I created my own version of the Omnitrix and also created my laser gauntlet, for self-defense if the Omnitrix times out. But luckily, I have unlocked the Master Control. I then left Galvan Prime and made my way to Earth, where I vowed to defeat the receiver of the Omnitrix and take over Earth. But then, all this years, the greatest device in the Universe has ended in the wrist of a child." Gilvix said, ending his story.

"But atleast I saved the world, galaxy and the entire Universe multiple times using it!" Ben angrily said.

"Enough of this conversation. I challenge you to a duel. You and me. If I am victorious, I shall take the Omnitrix and rule the entire planet with it." Gilvix said.

"But if I win, you will have to leave this planet and never come back." Ben said.

"Now. Let us battle." Gilvix said, before transforming himself into Swampfire.

"Okay. Time to see of the fans' fan made alien match-ups are true." Ben said, before transforming himself into:

"Heatblast!" he shouted.


And that's that! Part 2 is on the way!

And to jakevoronkov1, your story "Ben's Twin" is great! Keep it up!

Peace!-Btr100
