Hello Everybody! Btr100 over here with the 31th chapter of my story, Ben 10: The Faction Returns...
Okay...it's time for Ben's Team and the Big Ben 10 Villains to make a reappearance after like...17 chapters? I don't know. All I knew, is that it's been awhile now..
Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 or the Teen Titans and I never will...
Peace!-Btr100
In Ben's Universe, his team are currently fighting Khyber and Malware at the local Mr. Smoothies Store, the fight causing a lot of wreck and havoc not only at the store, but also at a small part of the city, since the notorious hunter and the technological psychopath were unusually stubborn today, unlike in the days when Ben was still around.
Gwen and Kevin were currently battling Khyber. Kevin, in his steel form, turned his hands into blades and attempted to strike Khyber with it, but the hunter grabbed his shield and sword and blocked the blows, before he retaliated with his own, but Kevin dodged the blows and attempted another sword strike, but Khyber dodged, before the Osmosian dodged a kick soon after. With Khyber not suspecting it, Gwen grabbed him with her mana rope from behind and tied him up, with Khyber struggling to get out.
"Yeah. Don't care how strong you are. You're just wasting your time trying to get out of there." Gwen said smirking, as Kevin walked up to her.
Meanwhile, Rook and Hope are currently battling the psychotic Malware, with the mutant Galvanic Mechamorph being sent backwards by Hope's magic blasts and bolts and Rook's laser blasts. Rook then changed his Proto-Tool into a quantum staff, before attempting to strike Malware with it, but Malware dodged, before retaliating with his own quantum staff hand, attempting to strike Rook with it, but Rook blocked the blow and changed his Proto-Tool into a tazer, before he jumped and stabbed the tazer on Malware's head, greatly electrocuting the mutant Galvanic Mechamorph.
"I believe this would be your turn of attack Hope!" Rook shouted, before jumping off of Malware, as Hope fired a hex blast which then hit Malware and turned into a magic bubble when it made contact with Malware, trapping the psychotic mutant inside the bubble.
"Well. That's taken care of." Hope said, dusting her hands as the other members walked towards her, with Gwen throwing the tied up Khyber towards the bubble trapped Malware.
"Just like always." Kevin said.
"I believe that is where you're wrong, child." Khyber said, using his sword to cut the mana rope and set himself free, before slamming his sword down the magic bubble around his teammate, breaking the bubble like it was glass, before he threw a smoke bomb to the ground, before he and Malware escaped and ran away.
The Team coughed and coughed until the smoke cleared, and it revealed that Malware and Khyber had already disappeared.
"Aw great. They ran away like always." Kevin said.
"Do not worry. We will capture them soon enough." Rook said.
Meanwhile...
Dr. Psychobos slammed his large pincer into his table when he found out that Khyber and Malware had been defeated by Ben's team yet again and barely managed to escape. They have been attempting to capture the Team a couple weeks after the mutant Cerebrocrustacean sent Ben into the Teen Titans universe in order to prevent any of them from interfering with their plot to destroy Galvan Prime and their race once and for all.
"FOOLISH IDIOTS! We have already p-p-put Ben Tennyson out of the p-p-picture and yet you two still can't defeat his t-t-team whose leader has already been e-e-eliminated!" Dr. Psychobos angrily shouted.
"And there is also the p-p-possibility that Ben T-T-Tennyson can return into this d-d-dimension!" Psychobos continued, before shooting an electric blast at the wall, and it was strong enough to leave a large hole, black smoke bellowing out of it.
"Tennyson's team are getting stronger due to their stronger teamwork now that they now they have to operate without their leader. I say we go into the dimension Ben is currently residing and eliminate Tennyson for real, which will put his team into total vulnerability and then we take the chance, and take eliminate them as well, before we can go to our respective goals." Khyber said.
"I have knowledge of the dimension of where Ben currently is. It's Earth is guarded by five heroes who call themselves the Teen Titans. They are worthy opponents, and with Tennyson, they outnumbered and outmatched me. When we eliminate Tennyson, we shall annihilate the Titans as well." Malware added, which caused Khyber to gain interest in the dimension.
"But since you idiotic i-i-imbeciles can't even take out T-T-Tennyson's team by yourselves, recruit every single one of Tennyson's old enemies to a-a-aid you. I shall join you as well, w-w-whether you like it or not." Dr. Psychobos said, agreeing with the plan.
"Too many allies. Can't pick out where to begin." Khyber said.
"Then let's start out with Tennyson's first enemy." Malware said...
The Faction duo then started their mission to find every villain that has fought Ben before and they went to every Plumber prison, first starting with the space prisons, because of they started on the Earth Plumbers' HQ, they would have to deal with Ben's team very early.
First, they freed Vilgax from his stasis pod, and when they did, Vilgax jumped out of the pod in rage, before destroying his pod and destroying the pieces everywhere, before firing laser and fire blasts which severely damaged a large section of the room they were currently in. When Plumbers arrived in an attempt to put Vilgax back in his place as well to arrest the Faction duo, Vilgax froze them with his ice breath, before totally destroying them with an electric blast.
"Tennyson! I am coming for you!" Vilgax shouted with anger, before releasing fire energy from his body which caused the Plumbers' Space Station to explode, with Vilgax, Malware and Khyber (wearing his space suit for hunting prey in space) flying out of the destroyed station, before locating the next station.
The next station contained Albedo and Aggregor, and they freed the human Galvan and the Osmosian from their pods, and with Albedo as Negative Rath destroying everything around and beating Plumbers senseless and Aggregor firing red energy blasts everywhere, they destroyed the station, before they flew out, Aggregor commandeering the ship the Faction Duo brought for villains who can't fly nor survive in the void of space.
They then went to Anodyne, with the five powerful villains causing a rampage on an Anodyne city, defeating multiple Anodites, before visiting Sunny's home. Sunny was more than happy to assist the villains and helped them cause massive wreck and havoc to her own city, before flying out of Anodyne, with Sunny in her Anodite form. She then led them to Antonio's world, where they picked up Antonio and they flew away, finding more allies for their quest to eliminate Ben Tennyson once and for all.
The next station contained Attea along with the Sotoraggian Mercenaries: Sixsix, Sevenseven and Eighteight. When the Faction Duo freed them, the Sotoraggian Mercenaries and Attea defeated the Plumbers and destroyed the station, before flying off to the next one.
Their next location was in the planet of the Synthroids, before recruiting an entire army of the mechanical beings, and when they flew out of the planet, they were joined by multiple ships belonging to the Synthroid.
Their next location was in a planet rich in Taydenite crystal, where they saw Vulkanus and his Pickaxe aliens. The Detrovite Alien along with his Pickaxe Minions quickly accepted the request, having the greatest chance to finally get his revenge on Ben.
They then went to the Null Void, where they broke in the Null Void prison and recruited Trukk along with Morgg and his robot guards. After a lot of more searching they managed to find the Halloween Trio, consisting of Dr Viktor, The Mummy and The Yenaldooshi. The Faction Duo, Vilgax and Albedo had to battle them before they can convince that they were also Ben Tennyson's enemies, before the Halloween Trio accepted the request to join them.
In the Null Void, the villains also met with Kolar, who accepted the request to join them, as he wanted revenge since Ben took him back to the horrible depths of the Null Void, but he also thanked him, since battling the Null Guardians for his survival made him much stronger, and now he's prepared for his revenge on Ben.
The rest of their fellow villains were taken prisoner on Earth, and the villains came down, the Synthroid fleet landing on the moon with one Synthroid robot flying down with the other villains.
Prison breaks increased, number of escaped criminals and villains are gaining in number, and the only Plumbers Base in Earth left with Ben's enemies in is the Max's Plumbing secret Plumber HQ.
Meanwhile...
Gwen, Rook, Kevin and Hope are in Gwen's house, trying to figure out the cause of the increase in jailbreaks this day, when suddenly their Plumbers' Badges began to beep loudly, louder than their usual beep. Gwen quickly took out hers and Max's voice was heard, along with gunfire and explosions, joined with screams of pain.
"Kids! All of Ben's old enemies has attacked the HQ, and they have released all the others! Come quickly ASAP!" Max shouted through his Plumbers' Badge, before the transition ended, with all of them having wide eyes, before Gwen looked at them with a serious look.
"Okay. ASAP it is then." Gwen said.
"Eo Recedentia!" Gwen shouted, and in a flash, all of them were out of their house, before instantly appearing in the Plumbers' HQ, before seeing the battle between the Plumbers and their old enemies, and their old enemies are quickly winning as the number of Plumbers in battle dwindled and dwindled.
"We need to help them!" Rook said, about to grab his Proto-Tool, but then they were electrocuted from behind, screaming in pain as the sparks of electricity surged all over their bodies, before they had enough and each of them fell down, unconscious. When they fell down, it revealed:
"Yes...bow down to Vilgax the Conqueror!" Vilgax shouted with pride, his hands covered in sparks of electricity.
"Now now Vilgax, settle down." a voice said, before he revealed himself to be Khyber.
"This is only the first phase of our operation. We still have to attract Tennyson to this dimension, then we will get him to his greatest vulnerability: his friends being held captive and the Headquarters being captured and there, we strike." Khyber said, before Albedo came up beside Vilgax, along with Malware and Dr. Psychobos.
"Take them in G-G-Galvan." Psychobos said.
Albedo nodded, before transforming himself into Negative Fourarms, carrying each of the Plumbers with each of his four arms, before walking away, towards the Prison Sector, where the Plumbers too will experience life in custody.
Vilgax and Khyber then watched the raging battle between the remaining but resilient Plumbers, with Max being one of them, and the large group of villains.
They watched as Max fired blasts from his plasma gun which then managed to hit several of Captain Kork's Mechaneers and effectively destroyed them. Rojo and Thunderpig then charged at the old Magister Plumber, before Rojo fired blasts from her modified laser cannon and Thunderpig threw his energy mace. Max then dodged the blasts and the blow of the mace. Max then fired a plasma blast at Thunderpig, which then managed to hit and sent him flying, before looking to see Rojo in the air, about to slam her energy hammer down. Max then quickly fired a plasma blast at her stomach, which then effectively sent her flying.
Max then looked to see Captain Kork, with an energy sword, but Max quickly reacted by grabbing a retractable metal bo staff from his utility belt and he used it to protect himself from Kork's stroke, which effectively cut the staff into half. The two halves then turned into discs that look like Ultimate Echo Echo's Sonic Discs. He then threw them and both of them fired a sonic scream at Kork, which then knocked him unconscious.
"Luckily Ben managed to put the Sonic Discs idea." Max said, before looking to see more of his Plumbers get knocked out by the old villains of his grandson. He was about to run and help them, when two large hands managed to grab hold of him, before Max saw Antonio. He attempted to get out, but it was obviously a futile attempt due to Antonio's super strength.
The rest of the villains then rounded up in front of Antonio, before Antonio turned around, to see Malware, Psychobos, Albedo and Khyber behind him.
"Good work Antonio. Albedo, join Antonio in taking Max captive and take his Plumber's Badge as well." Khyber said. Albedo then walked towards the old Magister and looked at his utility belt, before finding his Plumber's Badge and throwing it towards Malware, who then caught it, before revealing to have gotten Gwen's, Kevin's, Rook's and Hope's Plumber's Badges.
Albedo and Antonio then walked away with Max captive.
"Excellent. Now, all we have to d-d-do is to attract T-T-Tennyson back to this d-d-dimension. I t-t-think that all of you...will be enough." Dr. Psychobos said.
From left to right there was:
Vilgax, Sunny, Attea and some of her Incursean Soldiers, Sixsix, Sevenseven, Eighteight, Psyphon, Aggregor and some of his Aggrebots, Michael Morningstar, Carl Nesmith, Jennifer Nocturne, Will Harangue, Gilvix, some DNAliens, Dr. Animo, Hex, Billy Billions, Mazuma, Dr. Viktor, The Mummy, The Yenaldooshi, Zombozo, Acid Breath, Frightwig, Thumbskull, Sunder, Fistina, Liam, Bubble Helmet, Vulkanus with some of his pickaxe aliens, Trumbipulor, Tummyhead, Gorvan, Kolar, A Dimension 12 Robot, Exo-Skull, Thunderpig, Driscoll with another Forever King suit and his Forever Ninja, Eon and his servants, Ssserpent, a Synthroid, Captain Kork and a Mechaneer, Seebik and some of his Kraaho, Sublimino, Clancy, Rojo, Trukk, a couple of Forever Knight soldiers, Morgg and his robot guards, Buzz, Surgeon and Hammer, Kraab and finally ending with Nyancy Chan.
"Working t-t-together, Ben T-T-Tennyson shall fall. In p-p-pain. And in agony." Dr. Psychobos said.
Meanwhile, in the Teen Titans Universe...
Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, Terra and Ben were then sent flying into several cars, but they quickly recovered and stood up again, to see Punk Rocket with his loud guitar. He then played his guitar again, emitting a louder sound wave, which forced every Titan to cover their ears, especially Cyborg, whose circuits are being covered in sparks of electricity, while Ben turned himself into Echo Echo.
"Ooh. So that's how you wanna play it huh?" Echo Echo asked, before taking a deep breath.
Echo Echo then let out a sonic scream which then forced all of the Titan to cover their ears even more and even knelt down the ground, with Cyborg not taking it much longer, with some screws from his robot parts falling off of him. Not even Punk Rocket can take Echo Echo's scream and he flew away, with his guitar as a hoverboard.
"Oh no you don't." Echo Echo said, before transforming himself into:
"Ultimate Echo Echo!" the evolved Sonorosian shouted, before taking off two sonic discs from his shoulders and flying away, the sonic discs following him. The Titans then put their hands away from their ears and walked over to the damaged Cyborg, with some of his screws loosened and lost.
Meanwhile, Ultimate Echo Echo and his flying sonic discs were chasing Punk Rocket. The sonic discs then duplicated themselves into four and they flew over to Punk Rocket, with the guitarist villain looking at the sonic discs, fearfully wondering what will they do to him.
"Say good night." Ultimate Echo Echo said, before the sonic discs released sonic screams, which were powerful enough to easily break Punk Rocket's guitar and knock the rock guitarist unconscious, before he was sent plummeting towards his impending doom.
Ultimate Echo Echo sighed, before quickly flying to catch Punk Rocket, before landing safely towards the ground, in front of the other Titans.
"Got him." Ultimate Echo Echo said, before letting go of Punk Rocket and letting him fall down the ground, before reverting back to Echo Echo.
"You still gotta fix my circuits!" Cyborg said, whose head was already loosened.
"Fine." Echo Echo said, before his body was enveloped in green light and transformed himself into:
"Upgrade!" the Galvanic Mechamorph shouted, before extending his hands towards Cyborg and covering him with his techno-liquid matter, instantly repairing and replacing all of Cyborg's parts that were either damaged or lost. Upgrade then let go of Cyborg and reverted himself back to Ben.
"Okay. Now what?" Ben asked.
"I guess it's time to finally RELAX!" Beast Boy shouted with happiness, before hearing a beep.
"Aw man!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"No BB. It's mine. What could be the problem in my dimension?" Ben said, but then his eyes widened when he heard his arch-nemesis's voice, as the Omnitrix beeped at every word he said.
"Hello Ben Tennyson. It is nice to see you again. We have captured your grandfather and your pathetic friends. If you want them back alive, come back here in your dimension and find them in Undertown. Don't be overconfident though. I'm not alone. Heed my warning, Tennyson. Or it will be your ultimate demise." Vilgax said, with Ben looking at the Titans.
"I need to go." Ben said.
"We will come with you." Starfire said.
"No. I need to do this alone." Ben said, before transforming himself into Manadite and creating a portal, about to walk in, but Robin stopped him.
"You already helped us in our dimension, now it's time for us to pay you back." Robin said, putting his hand on Manadite's shoulder, but the Anodite gently shrugged it off.
"I didn't want you guys to get hurt in my dimension. You have no idea what I'm up against." Manadite said, before walking towards the portal, the portal closing, leaving the Teen Titans behind.
A portal then opened at a Mr. Smoothies store, before Manadite walked out of it, just in time as the portal closed. Manadite then reverted himself back to Ben, before starting walking towards the direction of Gwen's house.
"Time to find out what they were doing before they were caught by Vilgax and his ally." Ben said, as he walked towards his cousin's house.
Okay! That's that for this chapter!
This is inspired by the Brotherhood of Evil saga in the part where they recruited almost every villain of the Teen Titans.
Thank you Jake, and to some extent, Axle for the support you have given me in writing this story!
