Hello Everybody! Btr100 over here with the 17th chapter of my story, Ben 10: The Faction Returns...

In this chapter, Gwen, Kevin, Rook and Charamcaster will be appearing on this one, but will only receive little screen (Screen in...your mind?) time, and I think one or two character(s) will be joining Ben in Jump City...Can you guess who will it be?

Find out!

Peace!-Btr100


After kicking the butt of a monster completely made out of stone and cinder-block using Humungousaur, a monster who is composed of electricity and Artificial Intelligence by absorbing his electric body as Feedback and turning a monster made out of slime and ooze into a statue using Heatblast yesterday, Ben now has experience in handling Jump City villains and is also now a Teen Titan.

What is he doing now, you ask?

Well, he and his new friends, the Five Founding Members of the Teen Titans, are battling a bunch of huge robots which looks similar to Dimension 12 Robots, except that they have the color blue and had actual robotic legs instead of a wheel.

He is doing great as AmpFibian (Because using a strength alien is TOO mainstream, and come on! Give the other aliens a chance!) and is working well with Starfire thanks to her having unusual strength and Cyborg having much experience in battling robots, since he is half robot himself. But the others...not doing so much good...especially Beast Boy.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" Shouted Beast Boy as he was thrown into a comic book store.

The Titans then looked to see three of the robots heading towards their way, some of the other robots completely destroyed thanks to AmpFibian, Starfire and Cyborg, their pieces laying everywhere on the streets. One of the robots, fired a laser blast, but AmpFibian countered with an electrical blast and went intangible, before going inside the robot.

Seconds later, the robot's body began to spark with electricity and a second later, the robot exploded into a thousand pieces. When AmpFibian got out of the destroyed robot, the second robot attempted to hit him with its robotic hands turned into a saw, but Starfire tackled it hard and even managed to bash right through it, leaving a large hole in the robot's chest area and the robot exploded.

"RAAHH!" AmpFibian and Starfire heard an angry scream and they turned their backs around to see Cyborg repeatedly punching the third robot in rage, before shooting it with a blast of his sonic cannon, before literally ripping its head off and and ripping it apart. Cyborg then jumped off the robot, and the headless robot fell down, destroyed.

Meanwhile, Robin, Raven and Beast Boy were handling some robots themselves, but they weren't doing so good. Beast Boy turned himself into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and bashed at two robots, sending both robots flying, but then another robot attacked him from behind with a laser blast, causing Beast Boy to roar in pain, with the robot tackling him hard enough, for him to be sent flying into multiple buildings, forcing him to revert back to Beast Boy.

A robot was shooting laser beams everywhere, but then a voice of a female was heard, saying the words:

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" the voice shouted, and the robot was instantly covered in black aura and was slammed repeatedly into the ground, before being ripped into pieces, the remaining pieces falling into the ground. The camera then reveals Raven, her hands glowing black and her eyes glowing white, but then she was hit by a laser blast from behind and she fell into the ground, unconscious.

"RAVEN!" Robin shouted, as he jumped high enough to reach the robot's head and plant some time bomb discs at the top of the head. Robin then jumped away, just as the discs exploded and destroyed the robot, but then another robot blasted him with a laser beam, knocking Robin out.

"Robin!" Starfire worriedly shouted as her boyfriend was knocked unconscious by the robot. In rage, Starfire flew towards the robot and punched the robot repeatedly, before lifting it, quickly spinning it around, before throwing it so hard that it managed to reach outer space (for comedic effect, the robot was instantly frozen.) AmpFibian and Cyborg watched in amazement, but then gasped when a group of robots walked towards her when she was distracted by a horde of robots in her front.

"Okay Cy! Let's go!" AmpFibian shouted, and both he and Cyborg flew (Cyborg is using a jetpack) towards the horde of robots about to attack Starfire from behind. Cyborg then tackled a robot, which forced the robot down, before firing a sonic blast at its head, destroying it, before jumping off the robot and firing sonic blasts in mid-air, hitting some robots, but a robot in front of him swatted him away, sending him skidding into the streets.

Meanwhile, AmpFibian is currently firing an electric shock which hit two robots and short-circuited them, sending them falling down the streets defeated. AmpFibian then saw another horde of robots, and he went intangible and went right through them while using his electric powers, short-circuiting them as he went right through them.

After short-circuiting six robots, he landed on top of a building.

"Okay. Time to change into an alien I didn't use for a while." AmpFibian said, before transforming himself into:

"Crashhopper? Okay then! Time to remember how awesome this guy used to be!" the grasshopper-like alien said, before jumping VERY high, leaving a shockwave that caused the rooftop to crack.

"WOOOHOOO! YEAH!" Crashhopper shouted as he jumped in mid-air. He then landed on a robot and jumped again, creating a shockwave which sent the robot crashing down into the streets. He then did this on another robot, and a few seconds later, the robot was down. He did this until he managed to take down 7 robots, before jumping once again in mid-air and transforming himself into:

"Big Chill!" the blue moth like alien shouted, before flying towards Cyborg, who was still down, but not before dodging some robot parts that Starfire was throwing as she destroyed multiple robots one by one.

"Hey Cyborg? You okay?" Big Chill asked as Cyborg stood up and rubbed his head.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Cyborg said as he and Big Chill dodged another robot part, which was a head, the light that signifies the robot is in good condition turning off, signifying it is now useless to be used.

"Okay." Big Chill said, before looking at the horde of giant robots coming at their way, with Starfire repeatedly punching one of them before firing a green beam of energy from her hands, which hit the robot and caused a big hole in its chest and stomach area, before falling down in defeat.

"Okay Cy. Me and Star will take care of the remaining robots while you find Robin, Beast Boy and Raven and try to wake them up." Big Chill said, before flying off, while Cyborg ran to find his teammates who he hasn't seen yet since they were separated by the sudden attack of the robots.

Meanwhile, Big Chill is currently freezing a robot using his ice breath, but after a minute, his ice breath only managed to freeze half of the robot and the giant robot easily managed to thaw itself out. Big Chill then slapped the Omnitrix symbol, causing it to grow four spikes, and a green glow flashed all over his body, and seconds later he shouted:

"Ultimate Big Chill!" the now red moth-like alien shouted, before firing a stream of flames from his mouth and it hit the robot, but instead of burning the robot, it froze the robot instead and much more quicker too and he did this until the robot was completely frozen. Ultimate Big Chill then found two robots walking towards him and then saw 5 more robots at his back.

"Oh great, it looks like the tides turned serious." Ultimate Big Chill said, before flames started surrounding his body. With a loud scream of rage, he released the flames, causing it to spread around the surrounding robots and turned them into ice sculptures, but also turning a small part of the city into a winter festival.

Ultimate Big Chill then turned around to see another robot head flying towards him, but he turned intangible and the robot head went right through him. Ultimate Big Chill then made himself visible again and reverted back to Big Chill, before landing down the ground and reverting back to Ben, and a few seconds later Starfire landed beside him.

"Friend Ben, I wish to ask, but do you know where Cyborg is?" Starfire asked.

"Yeah. I sent him to find the others. I don't know where they went." Ben said, before they heard Cyborg's voice in the distance.

"Yo! Ben! Starfire! I found them! We're over here!" Cyborg shouted, and Ben along with Starfire ran towards where his voice was heard. After a few seconds of running, Ben and Starfire arrived at where Cyborg is, along with Robin, Raven and Beast Boy. Starfire gasped as the trio was seriously injured, especially Beast Boy.

"They're all seriously injured. According to my scanners, they've been hit by laser blasts that damages the target's nervous system." Cyborg said.

"I know how to cure them, but it will take a lot of time and is also very painful." Cyborg added. Ben then looked at his Omnitrix and sighed.

"Omnitrix. Do you have an Alien DNA Sample that can cure people?" Ben asked and a few seconds later, the Omnitrix beeped.

"Affirmative. Searched. Curohealian DNA Sample Found.
Powers: Able to heal any injured organic livings and revive dead organic livings from any injury. Has self-sustenance. Able to teleport for easier travel. Able to become intangible and has levitation.
Weaknesses: Lack of strength and durability makes DNA Sample unsuitable for physical battle and must only be used in healing allies." the Omnitrix beeped.

"Is the DNA Sample locked?" Ben asked.

"Negative. DNA Sample ready to be used." The Omnitrix beeped as the Omnitrix core popped out. Ben then immediately slapped the Omnitrix core down, and the transformation sequence began.

(His head started turned into the shape of Z'sakyr's head tilted upright, his body turned into a ghost like appearance, gained hands similar to ten-year old Ghostfreak, except the claws were rounded and not pointed. He wore a white jacket similar to what Ben wears and wears ghost pants. The Omnitrix symbol is in a belt and the transformation ended.)

"Healster!" the new alien shouted, before nearing Robin, Raven and Beast Boy and he lifted his right hand, which then glowed white. Robin's, Raven's and Beast Boy's bodies then glowed white too and in a few seconds, Healster stopped and lowered his hand and the trio then stood up, looking as if they just finished preparing to start another day.

"Hey! I don't feel numb anymore! Thanks Ben!" Beast Boy happily shouted as he attempted to hug Ben in his Healster form, but Healster turned intangible and Beast Boy went right through him, sending him running into a lamp pole. The Titans laughed as Beast Boy muttered at his bad luck again.

Meanwhile...

Gwen, Kevin, Rook and Charmcaster were at the Plumbers' HQ. They managed to fend off the Faction, but it was difficult fighting off both a ferocious Zed and his owner Khyber without Ben and as a result, the Plumbers' HQ was trashed and the Plumbers are now fixing everything in place, while the gang is thinking of a way to somehow know if Ben is out there somewhere.

"I can track Ben, but I'll need something that belongs to Ben, so I can sense his current mana." Gwen said.

"Ooh!" Rook shouted, before running away to get something. In a few minutes, Rook returned, holding a familiar white jacket with green stripes in his hands.

"Rook. Is that Ben's old jacket?" Gwen asked.

"Yes indeed. Before I left for Revvonah, Ben-dude gave his jacket to me as a what you humans call "remembrance" to remember him by while I was needed on Revonnah." Rook said, handling the jacket to Gwen, with the Anodite accepting it.

As Gwen held the jacket, her eyes glowed pink and so did the jacket, as she and the jacket floated in mid-air with Gwen in a meditation position. After a few seconds, Gwen finished and her eyes stopped glowing and so did the jacket as she softly landed into the metal floor, the jacket on her lap.

"Okay. I got him. Although it's pretty far.." Gwen said.

"Where is Ben? Is he in another planet?" Rook asked.

"No. I sensed him...in another dimension...Don't worry, I'm going to create a portal and Charmcaster will swoop in to find Ben, but she will have to hurry, as I can only keep the portal open for a couple of minutes." Gwen replied. Gwen's eyes then glowed purple as she begin to do the spell.

"Portalato Dimensiono!" Gwen shouted as a pink portal appeared in front of them, with Charmcaster ready to go in.

Meanwhile, Khyber and Zed actually hasn't left yet and they were still spying on the group inside the ducts , with Ben Tennyson suddenly gone thanks to Psychobos. Zed growled as Khyber patted her head and chuckling...

"Okay girl. You can have him. Bring Tennyson's skull back to me and use her to get yourself back in this world..now go." Khyber said, with Zed growling and transforming herself into Buglizard, but because of the small space of the ducts, she got cramped and immediately ripped off the surface she was standing on, sending her crashing in front of the Plumbers and Ben's group.

"Buglizard!" Rook shouted, as the large beast jumped high into the air...

Meanwhile...

The Teen Titans and Ben transformed into a 60. foot tall Humungousaur were still battling some giant robots and this time, Robin, Raven and Beast Boy were doing pretty good now, managing to avoid or block the robots' nervous damaging lasers.

The 60 ft. tall Humungousaur grabbed a robot by the hands and lifted it with minimal to no effort and tossed it into another robot Cyborg was battling destroying them both as they exploded, which sent Cyborg flying backwards. After Robin, Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, Humungousaur and Beast Boy defeated a couple of Robots, they grouped back together and looked around.

A lot of damaged buildings and many destroyed or damaged robot parts were scattered on the streets full of cracks and streets.

"Well Titans, it looks like our job here is do-" Robin said, but was then interrupted which then sent all of the Titans flying in all directions, with the 60 ft. tall Humungousaur being forced to take 5 steps back. Humungousaur wasn't hurt much and looked at the one who shooted the laser, but a shadow has covered Humungousaur as a 200 ft. tall robot towered the entire Jump City.

"Woah. How did we not notice this guy?" Humungousaur said, before the robot fired a laser blast. The laser blast then hit Humungousaur and it was enough to sent the 60 ft. tall dinosaur flying high.

"AAAAAAAAHHHH!" Humungousaur shouted as he was thrown into the sea, near the island where the Teen Titans' Tower is located.

Meanwhile...

"AHHHHHH!" Kevin shouted as he was thrown into a large computer screen which was used by the Plumbers to monitor the troubles going around Bellwood.

The gang has been fighting Buglizard for over two minutes now, and the portal is getting smaller and smaller by the second, but Buglizard swatted Charmcaster and Gwen away, before attempting to jump into the portal, but Rook tackled her with sufficient strength and tackled her into a wall. However, Buglizard managed to throw Rook off her and she ran towards the portal.

But then she encountered her old master Kevin, who gave her a hard punch to the face. Buglizard merely shook it off and threw her former owner away again, but before she can move, she was suddenly stopped by force and the camera reveals Rook, using the Proto-Tool as a lasso to grab Buglizard's tail and hold her in place.

Meanwhile, Charmcaster and Gwen regained consciousness and looked at the portal, which was slowly closing. Charmcaster then ran as fast as she can, and Buglizard managed to run towards the portal after managing to force Rook to give out, with the poor Revonnahgander being dragged behind.

Without any interruptions, Charmcaster entered the portal, but so did Buglizard and Rook and with a BAM! The portal disappeared.

...

The 200 ft. tall robot fired lasers everywhere and ripped off buildings, throwing them into random places. Before it can fire another laser, it was hit by a couple of explosive discs, a blue sonic beam, a couple of starbolts, before bring tackled by a giant, green, 200 ft. tall monster that looks like the monster that the Titans previously fought in Tokyo. The robot then easily blasted the green giant away with its laser beam, forcing the green monster to revert back to Beast Boy.

Then, the robot was then hit by several cars, buildings, before being hit by a tanker truck which then exploded on contact which managed to send the robot back a little bit. The robot then looked to see Raven, her hands glowing black and her eyes glowing white.

The robot then raised its hand and attempted to slam it down and crush the Titans with it, but the Titans barely managed to dodge it with Robin needing the help of Starfire to carry him at the top of a building. The Titans then looked at the gigantic robot as it eye flashed red, about to fire a laser blast but then a green flash from the sea was seen, and emerged from it, was a 200 ft tall To'kustar.

"WAY BIG!" the gigantic alien shouted as he emerged from the sea.

"(gasp) A..To'kustar..." Starfire gasped as the gigantic robot fired a laser blast from its eye. Way Big then crossed his wrist together, with the right forearm vertical and his left forearm horizontal, before firing a powerful, pale green beam which collided with the laser blast.

The two beams collided, but Way Big's cosmic ray overpowered the robot's laser beam and it hit the robot, sending the robot back. The robot then charged at Way Big, but the To'kustar merely lifted the robot with no effort at all and threw it so hard, that it was sent flying into space.

"Well...looks like our job here is done.." Way Big said, but before he can revert back to human, a couple of storm clouds appeared, but in a swirly fashion and the wind started to pick up, leaves, trash and other light things being blown into the air. The Teen Titans and the gigantic alien then looked up, to see yellow lightning bolts coming from the sky, some striking buildings and setting them on fire.

Then suddenly, a yellow lightning bolt hit Way Big and electrocuted him in less than a second, and it was enough for him to fall down towards a big portion of Jump City.

"Error. Error. Electrical malfunction in Omnitrix found. Attempting to fix with using Omnitrix-Auto Malfunction Repairs. Next transformation available in 5 minutes." the Omnitrix beeped as Way Big transformed back to Ben, and since he reverted back while Way Big was falling towards a big portion of Jump City, he was now falling for his doom.

"Luckily, I came prepared!" Ben shouted as he grabbed a small disc from his pocket and threw it into the air. The disc then became a hoverboard and it automatically went under Ben's feet, with Ben now standing the glorious invention.

Ben then flew down next to The Titans, before looking up again towards the clouds.

Not long after, a giant yellow rift appeared in the skies.

"Okay. This is definitely Deja Vu!" Ben shouted.

"Star! Can you take a closer look?" Cyborg asked.

"Alright then my friends. I shall come back when I have seen something." Starfire said, before flying towards the giant rift.


And that's all for Chapter 17! Hope you enjoyed it!

After doing all my homework and projects, I finally have time to finish this on a Thursday! Tomorrow it will be...Friday! Wait...I'm going to call it Fry-Day...
