Peace!-Btr100
Dr. Psychobos fired a yellow beam from his newly-upgraded Cerebro-Tool. Before Ben can do anything, the yellow energy beam hit him and a yellow flash blinded everyone in the room for a while, but Gwen swore that she saw a bit of green flash just seconds after Ben was hit. After the yellow light disappeared:
The great Ben Tennyson is now gone...
"Ben!" Max shouted, before angrily looking at Dr. Psychobos, who was laughing like a maniac, but then coughed.
"With Ben T-T-Tennyson out of the p-p-picture, handling you will be a p-p-piece of cake!" Dr. Psychobos said, before shooting a laser blast from the Cerebro-Tool but Gwen ran in front of him to protect fer grandfather with a mana shield.
Then, there was an explosion, a few Plumbers being sent flying onto the Armory. The gang looked to see Khyber, Malware and Zed as Crabdozer, ready for one violent and destructive battle.
"Your precious Ben Tennyson is now gone." Khyber said.
"Which means we will be easily taking you out of the picture." Malware said, before his hand turned into his Tachyon Cannon and fired a giant red laser blast, with the blast heading for the camera, causing the scene to end.
Meanwhile...
After Ben was hit by Psychobos's energy beam, a yellow flash enveloped the room and next thing his teammates and his grandfather knew, that Ben suddenly vanished into thin air...
Ben, suddenly found himself falling and plummeting down from a yellow void that suddenly formed in the sky. As Ben was falling into his doom he suddenly thought about Rath and the Omnitrix transformed him into Rath.
Rath looked at himself, before yelling:
"Let me tell ya somethin' gravity! You can't beat RAAAAAAATTTHHH!" the Appoplexian shouted, before he crashed into the sandy ground of the desert, causing large amounts of dust to fly and a large crater to be made. Rath, despite managing to survive a long meter fall last time, his expectations did not meet and he was knocked unconscious and suddenly transformed back into Ben.
Ben was lying unconscious on the ground. He opened his eyes and saw that it was already morning, since when Khyber, Malware and Dr. Psychobos attacked, it was only 7 o'clock in the evening. He then stood up, hoping to find somebody there, because he knew that he wasn't inside the Plumber's HQ.
"Where am I?" Ben said as he looked around. But all he saw was an ordinary and plain desert, a tumbleweed rolling past him.
"Guess I better start walking." Ben said and he started walking east, hoping to find some kind of civilization. As he walked, he began to think about how he got into this mess and how he can possibly get out of it.
"Dr. Psychobos. He got me into this...when I get back, I am so going to make him an appetizer for Vicetopus!" Ben angrily said as he continued to walk forward.
Seconds...minutes..and an hour has passed and yet Ben hasn't seen any sign of civilization, city or even an oasis and he fell down to his knees in exhaustion and in dehydration after finding no source of water for over an hour.
Then, a second after he fell on his knees, he remembered the very name that can surely lead him out of this mess: Professor Paradox.
"Maybe he can get me back to Bellwood." Ben muttered, and a second later a blue flashed forced Ben to cover his eyes for a while. When he opened his eyes once again, there stood the very person he has been waiting for..Professor Paradox.
After the time war event, Professor Paradox has removed all of the extras on his clothes but still remained the cane and the mechanical hand for his Chrononavigator.
"Hello young Benjamin." Paradox said, before holding out a white paper bag.
"Gumball?" he offered. Ben then immediately picked one and ate it.
"Man, how I'm glad to be seeing you here Professor Paradox. Can you please tell me where am I?" Ben asked as he momentarily looked at his Omnitrix for a while, before looking back at the immortal professor.
"I'm afraid you are in an alternate Universe where you do not exist." the Professor replied.
"Wait, so that's why Psychobos needed the piece from a Null Void Projector, to be able for his stupid tool to allow anyone to another Dimensions, or alternate realities." Ben said, but since Paradox is by his side, his smile still beamed brightly.
"But you can still get me back to my Universe...right?" Ben asked hopefully.
"I am afraid that this will be one of the problems in which I can't help you with. I am able to travel between alternate realities but I can't take people with me and I can only exist here for a limited amount of time. Believe me, a boy was stuck in an alternate universe and I attempted to bring him back to our reality, but sadly, he was sent in Dimension 22." Professor Paradox said sadly.
"Are the Plumbers existing in this Universe?" Ben asked.
"Unfortunately no, and also your aliens in our Universe are merely myths and legends in this one, but on the bright side, they also have aliens here, only...different. Don't worry Ben, I'm sure you'll find a way to get home." Professor Paradox said.
"If only Clockwork can travel into different dimensions and realities." Ben muttered. Paradox chuckled.
"I believe my time here is almost up, so one last piece of advice, the nearest city is five minutes that way." Paradox said, while pointing at a stretch of the desert.
Ben then looked at where Paradox is pointing but couldn't see anything.
"Five minutes? But I can't see anything." Ben said.
"Let me reiterate...Five minutes, with the help of an old friend.." Paradox said with a smile as he pointed at the alien device on Ben's wrist. A moment later the air around Paradox vibrated before he vanished into thin air.
Ben then looked at the Omnitrix, which is currently glowing green. Ben smiled with confidence and the faceplate slid off, revealing the Omnitrix core. Ben then held out his hand in the air, before saying his very catchphrase:
"It's Hero Time!" Ben shouted, before slapping the Omnitrix core, creating a flash of green light.
(Ben's left hand turned into black claws. A black color runs all the way from his wrist, to his left eye. When the glow reached his left eye, his head became a pointed helmet and his chin became pointed too. His feet turned into black rolling balls and he grew a blue and black tail. XLR8 then covered his face with his visor, before doing the pose he did in the Original Series.)
"XLR8!" he shouted. Using his enhanced speed, XLR8 dashed through the landscape, leaving a black and blue blur behind and dust kicking up in its wake.
Just like Paradox predicted, Ben came into a town after five minutes of running. XLR8 then came to a stop at a large sign by the side of the road to catch up his breath. Running like XLR8 for 5 minutes is very tiring.
The sign said: "WELCOME TO JUMP CITY! HOME OF THE TEEN TITANS!" with a picture of a large building in the shape of a T with Jump City in the background. XLR8 then looked at the sign for a couple of seconds before looking at the city in front of him.
"Teen Titans?..must be the city's football team. And they have one LARGE house over there." XLR8 figured as he looked at the large T building on the sign he just read. "Better go as human. This city probably isn't used to aliens except for the ones Paradox mentioned." XLR8 said, before reverting back to Ben.
Walking into town, he looked around to see it was an ordinary city, but then stopped for a moment when he found something interesting. Off shore was a small island with a large tower in the shape like a T. "That must be where the Teen Titans live." Ben said, before shrugging it off and continued walking further into town.
Walking further into town, he eventually found an apartment and saw that a room was available.
"If I'm going to be stuck in this place for a while, better have an apartment for a start." Ben said, but then before he can enter the apartment, an explosion down the street drew his attention as smoke bellowed out of a building which happens to be a jewelry store. After a few seconds, a man wearing a mechanical suit with the logo of a light bulb walked out of the smoke, carrying a large sack, obviously full of jewelry.
"This horde should be enough for a specific object that i need for my powers to get stronger!" the man said, before running away and sure enough, half a dozen cop cars were speeding down the streets towards him.
Ben watched as the man fired yellow energy beams from his hands which hit several cop cars and causing an explosion, creating a distraction for the man to run away again. Ben then ran after the man.
"No time to sit on the sidelines! It's hero time!" Ben said, before slapping the Omnitrix core, and the transformation sequence began.
(He held his hand in the air as crystal began to form all over it. The crystals then ran all the way from his wrist to Ben's left eye. When the crystal reached his eye, his eye turned green and the crystal was all over his body. Two long shards then formed on his back and he did his OS pose, before a green flash covered the background.)
"Diamondhead!" the crystal like alien shouted, before jumping very high, which surpassed the agility his looks suggest. The superpowered man continued running, but then Diamondhead landed just in front of him, startling the man and making him drop the bag.
"Hey man. Robbing a jewelry store? Seriously? That's too mainstream.." Diamondhead said.
"Your the shapeshifting member of the Teen Titans! No matter! I've seen what you can do before, and your pathetic ability can't outshine the brilliance of Doctor Light!" the man with the name of Dr. Light shouted, before firing a yellow energy beam from his hands which hit Diamondhead, but due to Diamondhead's crystal body, the blast was merely reflected back into Dr. Light, sending him back.
"Wow. For someone with the name of light, you're not very bright." Diamondhead said.
That statement made Dr. Light mad and he charged at Diamondhead and attempted to punch him but Diamondhead merely caught his head and held him in place. As Dr. Light tried to punch Diamondhead, the Petrosapien merely yawned. Dr. Light was then fed up and threw a flash grenade on the ground, blinding Diamondhead for a moment and giving Dr. Light enough time to escape, grab his bag of loot and run away.
When Diamondhead could see clearly again, he saw Dr. Light running away.
"Hey! We're not finished yet!" Diamondhead shouted as he slammed his fist on the ground and several crystals blocked Dr. Light's path. Dr. Light looked back to see Diamondhead walking straight towards him.
"This cannot be the shape shifting boy of the Teen Titans. He fights much more strategically." Dr. Light said, before firing another energy beam from his hands, but once again, they merely reflected back when it hit Diamondhead. When Diamondhead was in front of Dr. Light, the Petrosapien merely dodged Dr. Light's third blast and swatted him away, sending him flying into a car, knocking him out.
Diamondhead then shattered the crystal wall that was blocked the road with a single hand.
"That guy is much more easier to beat than Ssserpent." Diamondhead said, but then noticing the people staring at him and Dr. Light unconscious. A girl then start screaming and the people started to run away.
"Ow man. I forgot about me being an alien!" Diamondhead said, but his thoughts were then interrupted when a green energy blast forced him backwards. Diamondhead then looked up to see three boys and two flying girls on a rooftop of a building in front of him.
"What is a Petrosapien doing here on Earth?" a purple hooded girl with purple eyes asked her teammates.
"You know this thing Raven?" a boy asked the girl. He has black spiky hair, wearing a red suit with an R as a patch, a yellow and black cape, green pants, a yellow utility belt, black shoes and a mask with black for the sides.
"Yeah. There supposed to be extinct and legend says that the last surviving Petrosapien is an evil bounty hunter who will do anything for his selfish and greedy needs." The purple hooded girl with the name of Raven replied.
"If that's the case, let's beat this guy for answers." a half man and half cyborg said.
"And also ask him if we can mine his arm off...I would be a billionaire!" a green man wearing a purple and black suit and he also had sharp teeth.
"Questions about being a billionaire later. Right now, there's an alien attacking our city! Titans GO!" the boy said and the 5 of them jumped off the rooftop. Diamondhead just mentally slapped himself in the face.
"Oh boy. Here we go again." Diamondhead muttered.
The spike-haired boy threw several discs at him, which then exploded on contact and sent Diamondhead backwards. The boy landed on the ground and grabbed his metal bo-staff and slammed it on the crystal alien, but instead, the metal staff quickly turned into smithereens. Diamondhead then merely swatted Robin away, sending Robin flying into a car and into a window of a pie store.
Diamondhead then looked to see a green mammoth charging at him. Diamondhead then caught the mammoth, but the mammoth easily managed to send the crystal alien backwards and sending his feet sliding deeper into the ground. Diamondhead then made his feet bigger and also made his hands bigger, which was enough to hold the green mammoth in place, and then throwing the large animal onto a building. The mammoth then reverted back into a green young-looking man as he was knocked unconscious.
Several missiles then hit the Petrosapien and he looked to see the cyborg man charging at him, missile launchers equipped on his shoulders. The cyborg man then fired several more missiles but Diamondhead managed to dodge them this time. The cyborg man then fired a sonic blast from the cannon on his left hand, which then hit Diamondhead, but the blast was reflected back to the cyborg man, sending him backwards. Diamondhead then punched him hard in the face, enough to knock the cyborg man out.
Unexpectedly, Diamondhead was hit by a car, glowing in a black aura, sending him backwards. Diamondhead then looked to see the Raven girl using her telekinetic abilities to lift a truck above her. The girl then threw the truck at Diamondhead, but he created spikes all over his body and when the truck hit him, the truck was broken into pieces.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven chanted, and the ground cracked, with the cracks heading straight for Diamondhead. Diamondhead then touched the ground, fixing the cracks with crystals and also forming a crystal mountain. Diamndhead then jumped from his crystal mountain and fired several crystals. Raven managed to dodge majority of the crystals but three managed to hit her, exploding on contact and sending crashing into the rooftop she and her friends were once standing on.
Diamondhead was then hit by several green energy discs. He then looked to see a pretty red-haired girl flying towards him. With unexpected strength, Starfire punched Diamondhead's arm so hard that it broke into pieces.
"OW!" Diamondhead shouted, as his arm regenerated. After his arm regenerated, Diamondhead narrowly dodged another punch, and dodged yet another one and also managed to dodge a kick. When the girl was about to do another punch, Diamondhead created a crystal shield between them, with the red-haired girl easily shattering it.
"Wow. No I remember to not always judge the book by it's cover." Diamondhead said, before dodging another punch from the unexpectedly strong girl.
"I do not understand. What do you mean by 'Do not judge the book by its cover.'?" the redhead asked. This gave Diamondhead enough time to touch the girl's hand and crystallize her. But, unfortunately for Diamondhead, the girl managed to easily free herself from the crystals.
"Okay. Diamondhead's not enough for this girl." Diamondhead said, before transforming himself into:
"Spidermonkey!" an alien with a blue monkey-like body with four arms, four eyes and a tail. The strong redhead gasped.
"You transformed from a Petrosapien into an Arachnichimp..." The girl said baffled.
"Yeah. I get that a lot." Spidermonkey said, before firing a stream of web from his tail, but unfortunately for the blue monkey, the female alien grabbed the stream of sticky web and used it to spin Spidermonkey around and throw him a lamp post and into a window of a electronics store. Spidermonkey recovered quickly and rubbed his head in pain.
"Ow...seriously? How about.." Spidermonkey said, before transforming herself into:
"Cannonbolt!" the Arburian Pelarota shouted. The red haired alien girl wasn't baffled this time, and already knew Cannobolt's powers and his alien transformations ability. Cannonbolt then rolled towards the girl, but with her unexpected strength yet again, she slammed her hands into the rolling Cannobolt, leaving him stuck in the ground and some cracks in the road.
Cannobolt's body then flashed green and standing in his place seconds later was:
"RAATTTHHH!" a large tiger-like alien with a muscular body shouted into the air. The alien girl, looking nervous, stood back, and backed away in fear.
"An...Appoplexian? They're not...s-s-supposed to be real! They are just Tamaranean myths and horror stories!" The girl nervously shouted.
"Grr...Let me tell ya somethin'! Alien girl who is unexpectedly stronger than Diamondhead! Rath...Is...Going..To..DESTROY YOU!" the tiger shouted, but he was then sent back from a flying kick a boy Diamondhead defeated earlier sent him. Rath then looked to see the spiky-haired boy, fearlessly fighting against the Humanoid Tiger.
"NOBODY'S DESTROYING STARFIRE!" the boy shouted, before firing some discs, which then exploded on contact on Rath, but it only pushed him back. Rath then delivered a punch...hard enough to send the spiky-haired boy flying into a car. Rath then looked to his left, to see multiple missiles coming right at him. He then dodged them all, before looking to see the cyborg man yet again.
"You again!? Let's see how strong your Techno body has given you! RAAAHH!" Rath shouted as he charged towards the cyborg. The cyborg then punched him two times in the face, but Rath gave him a punch in the stomach, an uppercut and then a punch to the face, hard enough to sent the cyborg crashing into a building.
"Now...where were we-OW!" Rath shouted as he was sent back by a strong punch. Rath then looked to see a green monkey, looking angrily at the humanoid tiger. "Oh...you want a piece of RATH?!" Rath shouted as he flawlessly lifted the green gorilla with one hand and threw him at the alien girl. The green gorilla then reverted back to a green young-looking man.
Before Rath can do anything else, a large rock suddenly hit him at the back of the head, sending him stumbling. Rath then looked back to see Raven, her eyes glowing black and several stones around her glowing black too.
"You again!? I thought you were going to hit me with a tanker!" Rath shouted, but the Raven fired the stones, but Rath easily dodged all of them and jumped, attempting to grab Raven, but Raven levitated herself higher, causing Rath to miss and fall back down the ground. Rath then transformed himself into:
"Hunter Arian! Good thing. Fighting with Khyber has gave me some lessons which really paid off." the new alien said as he fired a laser blast from his eyes, which then hit Raven and knocked her unconscious. Hunter Arian was then blasted from behind and he looked back to see Starfire, with her eyes glowing green and Really Angry...
"Nobody...hurts...my FRIENDS!" Starfire shouted and fired a green beam of energy, which then hit Hunter Arian and sent him lying down the ground. His body then flashed green and after a few seconds, the one who replaced Hunter Arian is...
"Jetray!" the red flying manta ray shouted. Jetray then flew into the air and fired a neuroshock blast from his eyes, but the redhead managed to counter with a green energy beam from her hands. Jetray then fired another neuroshock blast from his tail, which successfully hit the superpowered girl and paralyzed her.
"Yes!" Jetray shouted in joy, but his smile turned once again into a frown when her friends regained consciousness and formed around the superpowered girl.
"Starfire! Are you okay?" the spiky haired boy asked as the redhead quickly regained consciousness. "Yes Robin. I am okay." Starfire replied as the 5 of them looked at the flying manta-ray who landed on the ground.
"Okay. Before you try to kill me again. Let me explain." Jetray said, before reverting himself back into an ordinary teenage human boy in the name of Ben.
"Your human!?" the cyborg man asked in shock.
"Yeah. And I stayed in my Petrosapien form for self-defense since almost all of you except for spiky hair have superpowers." Ben said.
"Ehhehehe..why don't we talk about this in the Pizzeria. Our treat. And by the way, my name is Robin and this is Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven. Nice to meet you." Robin said as he shook hands with Ben. "We're the Teen Titans" he added.
"So I guess they're not a football team after all." Ben thought.
...
In the pizzeria, Ben told the Teen Titans his story. From him finding the Omnitrix, how he was a hero in his reality and how he got stuck in the Teen Titans' Universe. The Titans were in shock after they heard several stories about him saving the universe and beating enemies even without the Omnitrix. Even Raven. He also told them about the Omnitrix, it's creator Azmuth, and the Alien DNA that is stored within it.
"So, that watch alters your DNA to become your selected alien mode?" Cyborg asked Ben as he was chewing on his pizza.
"Yeah. But I still retain most of my personality when I become an alien, but I have some aliens who I have a hard time controlling their personality. One of my aliens even managed to escape the Omnitrix by his will." Ben said as he looked at the Omnitrix.
"Hey cool! Lemme see!" Beast Boy said as he moved forward to get a closer look of Ben's watch.
"Hey, no don't-" Ben tried to warn Beast Boy, but he already slid off the faceplate and slammed down the Omnitrix core and a green flash blinded the Titans for a moment. When the green flash disappeared, Ben was replaced with an alien that looked like a tiger, lion and a gorilla. It had orange fur, gill-like flaps on its neck and also had no eyes. It also had a green and white collar. It growled at Beast Boy and roared at him, sending Beast Boy cowering behind Cyborg.
Meanwhile, Starfire squealed with joy and hugged the orange alien around it's neck.
"Yay! A Vulpimancer! I always wanted my own in Tamaran!" Starfire said in joy.
"Star, do you know this alien?" Robin asked the squealing girl.
"Yes. Vulpimancers are kept as pets and companions in Tamaran." Starfire explained as she let go of the orange furred beast. The Vulpimancer then reverted himself back to Ben and shot a glare at Beast Boy.
"You were lucky it was only Wildmutt. If I transformed into my Appoplexian form, I would have destroyed this place by now!" Ben shouted, before the Omnitrix beeped several times. Ben looked to see the faceplate glowing yellow.
"Tamaranean DNA Sample Detected. Scanning." The Omnitrix beeped and after a few seconds, the Omnitrix beeped again.
"Tamaranean DNA Sample Acquired." The Omnitrix beeped and it glowed green again, signifying that the scan is complete and that the DNA Sample is ready to be used. The Titans, especially Starfire, looked at Ben in confusion.
"It scan and took a sample of Starfire's DNA. Now, I have a Tamaranean DNA sample in the Omnitrix. Let's see what he can do." Ben said, before slapping the Omnitrix core and a green flash blinded the Titans yet again. When the flash disappeared, there stood Ben as a Tamaranean.
Ben's hair turned into red, and he now wears silver neck and arm plates. He wears a green T-shirt with a black line going down similar to his shirt when he was ten and black pants. He wears a belt similar to Starfire's in which the Omnitrix symbol is located.
"Guys. I have a question." Ben asked.
The Titans looked at him, waiting for his question.
"Why do I have a sudden craving for mustard?" Ben asked, causing the other Titans to fall anime-style and Starfire to squeal in joy.
...
Meanwhile, hidden deep beneath the city, a figure stood in the dark, watching several screens replaying the battle between Ben and the Titans. The man watched the screen with interest with one eye through a black and orange mask.
"Interesting.." the man said...
If your asking, because of old memories of me watching Teen Titans and I was all like: OH YEAH ROBIN! KICK SLADE'S BUTT!" and I knew that I have to make a crossover of my two favorite shows.
Peace!-Btr100
