Hello everyone. Here's another chapter of the Cross Dimensional Adventure of Ben 10: Hero meets Heroines. I'm very sorry for the late update. I've been busy and gone through some bad things now. I also wish to apologize for any grammatical error in this chapter. The next chapter will not have any error that this chapter may have.
Now on to the chapter.
Chapter 4: True Power and Underestimating a hero
A week had passed since Ben and Buttercup returned from a terrible future version of Townsville. Since then, Ben was introduced to the rest of Powerpuff girls and their creator by Buttercup. When Buttercup also explained everything that happened, the rest of the girls were surprised with the Professor showing the same reaction. They were even shocked about Ben and the Omnitrix that he possessed. It wasn't long before they accepted him to stay home with them.
After a day of introduction, the girls did their usual heroism, but Ben stayed behind. The reason was because Blossom wasn't sure that Ben was capable of handling such situations. Buttercup agreed with her on it because that gave her the chance to tease Ben about how powerful they were. Ben was angry, but respected them as he stayed home.
It became a routine for Ben that he became so bored. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore when the week ended. When the girls went off he followed them by foot so he won't get detected by them in anyway.
In the city of Townsville, the girls were battling against a giant rock monster. It has a humanoid body with one eye and elf ears by the side of its head. The girls came at the monster and shot laser beams from their eyes at it. However, the hard rock skin of monster kept it from harm. The monster saw them and backhanded them, sending them flying through buildings.
Ben arrived at the scene and saw the monster, "Wow, this is so cool."
The monster must have heard him as it now had its one eye at him. Seeing that the monster was coming at him, Ben made a run for it. But the monster managed to grab him and lifted him up to its eye. It was at that moment that the girls arrived to see the scene.
"Ben!" The girls shouted in surprise.
"Um…uh…" Ben tried to come up with something to say to the girls. But since he was lost in words he pushed that aside as he pulled his hand with the Omnitrix and activated it. An alien hologram appeared before he slammed it down, resulting in a flash of light. When the light, in Ben's place was a humanoid pile of goo with an Anti-Gravity Projector that hovered above his head.
"Goop!" Ben shouted. He then looked at himself, "Huh, I haven't turned into this guy since my training with Danny."
The rock monster roared as it raised its other hand to squash Goop. However, the alien flew right out of its hand by the Aniti-Gravity projector. The monster roared in anger and tried swatting Goop with its hand, but couldn't succeed. Goop flew around it in a vain attempt to distract it which in turn made the monster of focus on him. It was able to backhand Goop, sending him crashing to a wall close to the ground. Goop hit the wall and in a flash of green light was back to his normal human form.
"Aw men." Ben groaned as he stood up.
The monster roared again, but Buttercup and Bubbles flew at it while Blossom flew to Ben. She sent an angry look at Ben and blew ice from her mouth. Ben was frozen to the wall with his hands apart from each other.
"Now stay put!" Blossom yelled and flew off.
Ben growled in anger, but nothing could be done. He now had to watch the Powerpuff girls fight off the rock monster which was something he wished he could do.
***)
Later that night, the Powerpuff girls and Ben returned home. The fight with the rock monster was rough, so it took hours before the girls left. Blossom carried Ben while at the same time ignoring what he had to say about helping them. As much as she appreciated the help, it was too risky to do so. Ben had once told her about a time limit his Omnitrix have, so she was afraid that if that happens that he might get worse in a difficult situation.
When they got home, Buttercup and Bubbles flew to their room by the window while Blossom flew to the front door and dropped Ben. The Teen hero huffed in anger and began walking away when Blossom put a calming hand on him.
"Look, Ben, I'm sorry for what I did there, but it was for your own safety. You saw how you did back there and it was rough. I only froze you so you won't get hurt in the fight." Blossom tried to assure him.
Unfortunately, Ben shrugged her hand off his shoulder. He snarled lowly and faced Blossom, "I don't care about that, Blossom! I've gone through a lot worse than a rock monster! What happened there was a mistake which…"
"See, a mistake!" Blossom interjected, "In the fights we get into there is no room for mistake! You just have to understand that we're trying to protect you!"
"Shut up!" Ben yelled in an outburst of anger
Blossom was taken aback from the outburst. It now occurred to her that she had finally made Ben to snap. The teen hero had a fresh glare of hatred on her before turning back and walking into the house. Blossom still remained outside, trying to process through what just happened. A feeling that both she and Ben were being watched came to her and she looked up at her rooms. She managed to see Buttercup and Bubbles faces before they went back into their room.
Blossom finally looked back at the door and sighed, "What have I done?"
****)
Morning came up once again and the Utonium family was up. The Professor was in the kitchen preparing breakfast when the Bubbles and Ben walked in.
"…so I was like, dude that's gonna hurt." Ben cracked a joke of his hero days.
Bubbles giggled from the humor as she took her seat by the table. Ben sat on a seat the Professor had added and saw the breakfast prepared for him. The Powerpuff girl also saw her food and began eating with Ben doing the same.
The Professor heard them come in and turned to them, "Good morning, Bubbles. Good morning, Ben. I see both of you are up this morning early."
Bubbles looked from her breakfast and smiled, "Yes, Professor. I don't want to be late for school."
Ben chuckled, "I'm not awake for that. I just woke up early for once. It's weird really."
"Well, Ben, it's good you are up for your first day of school." The Professor revealed.
Once Ben heard that word, he dropped his spoon with his mouth wide open, "You're kidding me…right?"
"Actually, I don't joke about schools except the time I went to the Annual Chemistry of Genius last year. I think the joke went off like…."
Bubbles turned to Ben and whispered, "Cover your ears. The Professor's jokes aren't good."
Ben nodded and did as he was told. Bubbles covered her own ears while the Professor went on about whatever the joke the teens will most likely not understand.
***)
The time for school soon arrived and the girls were outside, ready to go. Ben came out of the house and met the girls with a backpack of his own.
"So when is the bus coming?" Ben asked.
Buttercup smirked, "Dude, when you're a superheroines like us you don't need the bus." After that, she took off to the skies with Bubbles following her.
Ben took a few steps forward while going to the Omnitrix, but a hand held his wrist from touching it. He traced the sight of the hand and found out it was Blossom. The Omnitrix bearer shot her a glare, "What do you want now, Blossom?"
"You can't change into an alien here. Come on, I'll just carry you."
However, the teen hero refused as he knocked her hand off his wrist, "You're not the boss of me! You're not my mom!" At that finally outburst, he slammed the Omnitrix and was covered in a flash of light. Blossom had to shield her eyes until the light died down, revealing an alien in Ben's place.
Standing in Ben's place was a moth like alien. He has a blue humanoid body with four big wings and an antenna on his head. The most recognizable thing of the alien was his green eyes and the Omnitrix symbol on its chest.
"Big Chill!" The alien bellowed.
Now as Big Chill, Ben glared at Blossom and foggy ice at her face, "Back off."
Right after then, Big Chill took off to the skies. Blossom watched him go before getting over what happened and flew after him. She came close to Big Chill until the alien noticed her and quickened his speed. However, Blossom was determined and flew faster to catch up to him.
"Ben, stop! You're going…"
Big Chill turned to her while flying and shot an ice breathe at her, "Leave me alone!"
Blossom was hit by the ice blast which froze most of her body. Since she couldn't move, gravity took over and sent her crashing to the ground. But Blossom quickly summoned her strength and broke out of the ice before she could hit the streets. It was then that Buttercup and Bubbles arrived behind her.
"Wow, you must have made him really angry. School is right over there." Buttercup said and pointed to the right, where the school was visible to see.
Blossom sighed sadly, "I tried to tell him, but he won't listen."
Buttercup rolled her eyes and huffed a bit of air at her right hair bang, "Well duh! You're acting like his mom. I've seen what Ben is capable of, so you shouldn't be worrying over him. He can handle himself."
The Powerpuff girls remained quiet for a while as they stared at each other. Buttercup gave Blossom a glaring look before turning back and flying off to school. Bubbles didn't say anything; though from the worried look she gave Blossom she was afraid on who to side. She might have reached her decision though as she flew back to school to catch up with Buttercup.
Watching her sisters go, Blossom sighed deeply and flew after them to head to school. Right then she wasn't sure on what to do.
****)
Townsville's Middle School was like any other normal schools. It had its usual ups and downs like popularity, club activates and other things in schools. Just because the girls goes to the school doesn't mean much was different. The building was big with different classes, rooms and structures of its own. It remained safe from harm though, thanks to the Powerpuff girls.
When the school bell rang, the students began to head to their classes. The numbers of students in the halls soon reduced until it was almost deserted. The only ones to be in the hallway were the Powerpuff girls. The leader of the girls was furious as she walked very fast to make it to class quick. Since she was going fast, her sisters tried to catch up with her in the same speed.
"What is taking Ben so long!?" Blossom yelled angrily, "I thought he'll be here by now!"
Buttercup growled a bit from frustration and got in front of Blossom, "Calm the heck down, Blossom! Whatever Ben is doing, I'm sure he's fine! You can kill him when we get home!"
Blossom sighed softly, being calm enough to speak, "The Professor wants him to be here. It's already the second period and he still not here. If he doesn't get here now, he'll…." She would have continued, but a sudden breeze blew against her and the girls, interrupting her and blowing their hair.
The sudden wind was unusual since it had a blue blur pass right them. The girls followed where it went and found it standing right behind Bubbles. The Powerpuff girl shrieked as she jumped back, while looking at a blue and black feline-like alien. It was as they looked at the alien that they noticed the Omnitrix symbol on its chest.
"Ben?" The girls asked in unison.
"Hi." The alien smiled and did a wave. He taps the Omnitrix symbol on its chest which changed him back to normal in a flash of light. Standing in the alien's place was Ben, "Sorry I was late guys. Fasttrack had some hero work to do."
"Who's Fast…you know what? Forget it." Blossom shook her head rapidly as she pushed the question away. She came forward to Ben and was about to say something, but Buttercup pushed her away to the ground and put her hand around Ben.
"Dude, you took forever to get here. Come on let's get you to the Principal office!" At the last sentence, Buttercup took Ben by the wrist and took him away.
Blossom sat on the ground while growling with a glare at Buttercup. Bubbles came to her and brought her hand out, "Are you okay, Blossom?"
"Yeah…" Blossom sighed as she looked up at her sister, "I'm fine. Buttercup is out of control sometimes."
"Since when isn't she?" Bubbles giggled at the humor.
Blossom giggled and got up from the ground. She dusted her clothes a bit before walking to the Principal office with Bubbles following.
***)
After some arrangements and introductions, Ben was officially a student of Pokey Oaks Middle School. He got the schedule for his classes and went to them when the classes for him came up. Fortunate for him, each of the girls had a class with him so that way he wasn't alone. He was however distant from Blossom because of her bossy attitude.
The time for lunch soon came as the school bell rang. The students headed for the cafeteria, including the Powerpuff girls and Ben. When they got there, Ben found it like any normal cafeteria. There were long metal tables and students were either eating or chatting with friends.
The Powerpuff girls and Ben went to the food serving and got theirs. The Omnitrix bearer had to admit though that the food was a lot better than his school back home. The milk was cold for enjoyment and other food were included. He stayed behind to get his hands on a cupcake while the girls went to find a table.
"So where should we sit?" Buttercup asked while looking around.
Blossom found a table and pointed it, "Over there, girls."
Agreeing with their leader, the girls and Blossom went to take their seat there. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any troublemakers that might have caused trouble to get the table. The girls placed their tray of food on the table and looked back to Ben.
The Omnitrix bearer was still at the serving point, trying to get some food to eat. So far he had gotten the cupcake, two pudding cups and now he was going for a chocolate cake. He almost got it, but a hand came and took it from him. This got the teen's attention as he faced the person responsible.
"Hey! That was my cake!" Ben yelled angrily.
Ben's voice caught the attention of whoever that took the cupcake. When he shouted, the cupcake the person held was paused to her mouth. She took it back and glanced at Ben.
"Who are you?" Asked the person in a girl's voice.
"I'm Ben Tennyson. I believe I saw that cupcake." Ben growled a bit and held out a hand for it.
The girl growled herself in a bit of anger, but gave Ben back, "Whatever. I wasn't even interested in it anyway." Ben didn't care of what she said as he put the cupcake with his tray of food. He was about to go on when the girl stopped him, "Hey, wait! You never got to know me."
Ben glanced back at her with a confuse look, "And I should know why?"
"Because you're speaking to the most popular girl in school." The girl smirked proudly and held her hand out for a handshake, "I'm Princess Morbucks, Ben Tennyson."
Princess Morbucks is a girl with dark red hair in curly poofs on two sides of her head. She has freckles on her on her face, has brown eyes and wore a tiara on her head. She also wore a yellow sweater with a shirt underneath, a purple skirt and matching violet shoes.
Unknown to them, Princess was a villainess of the Powerpuff girls. When he looked at her he didn't see any sign of evil she possessed within. So when she offered her hand in handshake, Ben brought forth his hand to reach hers. However, a direct laser beam came between the same space between their hands, causing them to yelp back and pull their hands aside.
Both teens glanced at where it came and found it to be Buttercup. The Powerpuff girl's action had caught the attention of every student in the cafeteria. The rest of the girls noticed, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Buttercup had a direct glare at Princess and left her seat, "Get away from him, Princess!"
That instant Blossom knew Buttercup might cause trouble. To ensure that doesn't happen, Blossom and Bubbles left their seat and held her back. Buttercup understood to stay back and did as they told. Blossom then left her sisters and walked to Princess, "What are you doing with Ben, Princess?"
"It's none of you girls business." Princess smiled slyly, "I was just introducing myself to him."
"Well introduction is over!"
"And why should I listen to you?" The smile on her face spread as she continued, "Are you his mom…or his girlfriend?"
Everyone made a 'oooo' sound from that word. Blossom blushed from it and heard her sisters snicker. The students also laughed a bit which caused her to blush more. She managed to get over it as she shook her hand and faced Princess angrily.
"First, he's not my boyfriend! Second, you should leave now!" To emphasis her point, her eyes flashed red.
Princess knew the fun for her was over and complied, "I'll leave here. But…" She walked to Ben and handed him a Pamphlet, "I'm having a party over and I want Benny here to come."
"He's not coming with you!" Buttercup yelled.
Princess only snickered and winked at Ben with a smile. After that she walked away which in turn brought back normalcy into the cafeteria. Blossom glared at Princess while she left, but of course the villainess didn't see it. The other two Powerpuff girls walked to Blossom and Ben.
"She didn't do anything bad to you, right?" Buttercup asked, though she sounded angry enough to attack Princess if she harmed Ben.
"No, I'm good. But I don't see why you girls are overprotective." Ben said.
Blossom explained, "Princess is a bad girl. You shouldn't hang out with her since you don't know her like I do."
Ben gave a glare at Blossom, "Butt out of my life, Blossom. I never asked you to." With that said, he walked right pass Blossom, hitting her shoulder with his intentionally.
Blossom was surprise of what he did and was about to go to him, Buttercup held her back.
"Leave him alone for now, Blossom. He just needs time to himself."
"Alright." Blossom sighed with a frown.
****)
Outside the school, Ben walked right out the exit door with his tray of food. He was very angry of the incident earlier and right now didn't want to be around the Powerpuff girls. He appreciated their friendship and welcome to their home, but he hate being bossed around. After all he saved two universes and is fighting a dimensional evil villain who wishes to take over the Multiverse.
While outside, Ben went to a tree he saw and sat underneath it. His tray of food was on his legs as he kept quiet to enjoy the loneliness. It was nice to get his thoughts away from what happened, but sadly his peace didn't last. A shadow casted over him which made him to look up at who it was.
"Princess?" Ben glanced at the girl in front of him.
"Yes, it's me." The spoiled girl smiled, "So what's a cutie like you doing here?"
"Um…uh." Ben was taken aback. Never has he had a girl call him cutie. In fact it was his first time hearing such from a girl.
Princess easily knew she had him off guard and decided to sit next to him, "Relax, Ben, I don't bite. I just came to see how you're doing."
Ben felt alright again and nodded to her, "I just came here to stay away from the girls. Except Bubbles, the others are too overprotective."
"I hear you." Princess listened to him, "Blossom is mostly bossy. That's why she doesn't have as much friends as her sisters. Buttercup is a ticking time bomb ready to explode and Bubbles is a big softie."
"Yeah, but I already knew that. So why did they call you a bad girl?"
"Um…well I kind of make them angry. They don't like me because I like to be my own person without being afraid of them." Princess lied. She knew just from when Ben asked that the Powerpuff girls haven't told him she's a villainess. So rather than telling him the truth and giving Ben a reason to hate her, she instead told a lie so that way he'll be against the girls and she'll have a boyfriend by her side.
Since Ben didn't know everything about the Powerpuff girls he nodded as he believed her lies.
"I didn't know the girls are like that. Aren't they superheroines?"
"Yeah, but I think it's an act. I can tell Blossom is keeping you so you won't do something that will embarrass them." Princess again lied to the Omnitrix bearer. She saw in his eyes that he believed her. This made her plan work perfectly than she imagined. She stood off from the ground, but still had her eyes on him, "So will I see you in my party?"
Ben glanced at the Pamphlet she gave him and looked up to her with a smile, "You bet I will."
"Good. See you later, Ben." With that said, she left back into the school.
"You sure will." Ben smirked.
***)
Unknown to Ben, someone watched from the top of the building. Nothing much could see said about the person from the ground, except that his mouth shaped into a smirk. It would seem his latest ally was doing exactly what he intends to do soon in the future. Now he just has to wait for her to come.
It didn't take long before a door on the top of the building open and a girl walked out. Princess saw the man she was supposed to meet and went to him. She noticed he only wore a black cloak that covered most of his body. The only thing noticeable was a metal scythe he held and his visible mouth.
"I see you did exactly like I intended." The cloak man said in his satisfaction.
"Yeah Yeah Yeah." Princess easily brushed it off as she came closer to him, "So now can you tell me who you are?"
"Very well, girl." The man faced her and smirked, "They call me Nefarius."
"Nefarius huh?"
"Yes."
Princess gave him a skeptic look and shrugged, "Alright, the name is good enough. So why is Ben involved in this plan of yours against the Power brat girls?"
Nefarius didn't reply, but his smirk turned into a grin. A flash of red came from his hidden eyes before he answered, "You'll see soon, Princess. Until then I have a present that will ensure you total victory against the Powerpuff girls."
Hearing those words, Princess smirked, "Excellent. It's about time they get destroyed."
***)
As time went on, night soon befall the city of Townsville. Every kid and adult was back in their various homes, sleeping while through the quiet night. But unknown to most parents, the kids began sneaking out of their homes. The reason was because of a teen party hosted by Princess Morbucks. It was a school so most kids weren't allowed to go out by that time.
Among the many kids was a certain brown haired hero. He pretended to be sleeping in his guest room until the alarm clock vibrated. He quickly shut it off and got out of bed as quiet as he could. The teen was able to get dress before walking out of his room and went down the stairs to the living room. He was just about to pass the kitchen when he came to a stop mid-way.
The kitchen light was on, meaning someone was in. Ben looked into the kitchen and found the fridge open with someone's feet plainly showing underneath. Before the teen could leave, the fridge was closed by the person who so happens to be Bubbles. She was in her PJs and held a glass cup of milk which was obviously to drink.
Bubbles turned to the doorway to see Ben standing there. Her sleepy eyes made it hard for her to see him well, but she was able to recognize Ben despite her fuzzy sight.
"Ben?"
The brown haired teen took a step back and whispered quietly, "This is all a dream, Bubbles. I'm not really here."
"Are you sure? I would have thought my dream will be with ponies." Bubbles tried to look at him clearly, but her sight were still fuzzy.
"Well if you head back to bed maybe you'll have that dream."
If Bubbles's mind was clear she would have known Ben was lying. But since she was too sleepy, she yawned and nodded, "Okay, Ben."
From tiredness, she bowed her head a bit and walked out of the kitchen. Ben step aside from her and watched her as she went up the stairs. He didn't move a second until he heard the door close. When he was sure the coast was clear he let out a sigh of relief and left the house quietly without making a sound when opening and closing the door.
***)
Bubbles went to bed and shoved into the sheets. But by doing so, she accidently nudged Blossom by the side. The leader of the girls moaned as she faced Bubbles sleepily, "Bubbles…where were you?"
"I was…in the kitchen…talking with Ben." She said tiredly.
However, just those words were able to wipe all sleep within Blossom as she sat right up and shouted angrily, "WHAT?!"
****)
Meanwhile at Princess Party, dozens of kids from Pokey Oarks Middle school were there. It all took place in her mansion which was a huge estate with a pool, a big hall and other fun games for the good and naughty.
As other kids arrived at the party, Ben flew above the mansion as Jetay. He was pretty amazed at the sight of the party while at the same time liking the music. The light from the house was bright that Ben could have sworn aliens could see it from space. He shook away the thought as he flew behind some trees and changed back. He came out as his normal human form and headed to the front door to join the party.
However, unknown to Ben the Powerpuff girls just arrived at the party. Blossom surveyed the sight of the party from the air and shook her head disappointedly, "Look at them, girls. These kids should be sleeping to get ready for the next day of school, but here they are now."
"Well, Blossom, it looks like a cool party." Buttercup smiled a bit at the sight. But when she said that, Blossom hit her right behind the head, "Ow! What's that for?!"
"Try to concentrate on why we're here." Blossom said firmly and flew off to the party.
Buttercup mumbled angrily, but followed her sister anyway. Bubbles followed as well to keep up with her sisters.
****)
Inside, Ben met up with Princess who then showed him around the house. Her father was absent, making the party go on without a problem as kids had fun in any way possible. Ben was fascinated at the places Princess showed him like the game room she personally owned and a giant hall that many kids were dancing to a music playing.
"Wow! All this is amazing!" Ben kept looking around him while enjoying the music.
"Yeah, it is." Princess smirked as she folded her hands over her chest, "So, is it better than staying with those Powerpuff pests?"
Ben's smile formed to a frown as he nodded, "Yeah but…the girls are my friends. As much as this party is awesome, I gotta go before they find out I'm gone."
"Too late, Ben!" Blossom's voice shouted louder than the music.
Once the voice of the Powerpuff was heard, Ben's heart felt like it skipped a beat as the music came to a halt. Every kid there furrowed and turned their eyes to the Powerpuff girls who stood not far from behind Ben and Princess. The Omnitrix bearer and the villainess faced the girls as well, making it that all eyes were now on the superheroes.
Blossom's eyes met with Princess's glare. The two girls clearly hated each other, considering their past fights. But this didn't stop the Powerpuff girl from speaking at Ben, "What do you think you're doing here, Ben!?"
"Um…well…" Ben shuttered a bit, knowing he was caught.
However, Princess stood in front of Ben with confidence, "Leave him alone, Blossom! He's not your tool to control!"
"Who said I was controlling him?!" Blossom said in disbelief, "If anything you're the one controlling him! Ben shouldn't be around you!"
"Oh yeah!" Princess snarled.
"Yes!" Blossom snarled louder.
Ben knew that moment that trouble was beginning to arise. He decided to intervene as he got between Princess and Blossom, "Look, girls, let's just calm down and talk this reasonably!"
"No, Ben!" Princess yelled and pushed Ben aside, "This time the girls have gone too far!"
The villainess raised her wrist and pressed a button on a metal bracelet. The item glowed a bit before spreading from the wrist and growing all over her. It also caused a yellow bright light that forced the kids to cover their eyes in an attempt to shield it. When the light died, everyone unshielded their eyes to look at Princess.
When everyone looked at Princess again, they found her dressed differently. The girl now wore a yellow armor suit which almost resembled her old armor suit when she was little. The only difference with the new armor was that it has armor sleeve and black leggings.
Princess smirked as she looked around everyone and then the girls, "Prepare to die, girls!"
The Powerpuff girls were taken aback from the new change, but quickly became themselves again. They've faced Princess so many times that they weren't afraid of her in the slightest way. However, they didn't know that Princess latest way to destroy might assure that.
"Pfft! I've seen better!" Buttercup scoffed at the villainess.
Princess only smirk a bit more than she did before forwarding her fists at them. Two cannons replaced her hands and she shot bright blue beams at the girls. However, Blossom saw it quickly and shouted, "Girls, division attack formation!"
Quickly, the girls flew apart from each other, but still headed for Princess. Blossom flew to the air and came down at attack the villainess, Bubbles came from the right and Buttercup came from the left. The girls moved in such a fast speed that time seem to slow down for them. However, Princess was unfazed by it all and let out a burst of energy from her the suit. The blast from the suit hit the girls, sending them crashing to the hall's walls.
Princess laughed into the air with her hands on her waist. The girls were now on the ground after falling off the wall. They became conscious enough to hear Princess's evil laugh and quickly looked at her.
Buttercup became fully angry at the villainess and stood up, "Alright, that's it! I'm not holding back!"
"Buttercup, no!" Blossom warned her.
However, Buttercup ignored her team leader as she flew straight at her. She clenched her fists tightly, making it so that they were covered in green flames. Once she came at Princess, she threw multiple fast punches at Princess. But when she did, Princess dodged them easily in a faster speed than the Powerpuff. The only thing that Buttercup managed to do was force her to take a few steps back.
Suddenly, Princess became intangible that Buttercup's hand went through. The Powerpuff was caught off guard and quickly drew back her hand, giving Princess the chance to grab her throat. Before Buttercup could react, Princess sent high voltage of energy from her hand and into Buttercup. She watched with delight as Buttercup screamed from the major pain given to her. Even the kids, Ben and the Powerpuff girls watched with fear as Buttercup was being taken down.
Princess ceased her attack on Buttercup which also stopped Buttercup from screaming. The Powerpuff girl was weakened to the point that she could barely keep her eyes open. Princess grew a grin as she drew back her fist and threw it hard at Buttercup. She hit Buttercup right at the face, sending the girl breaking through a pillar and finally hitting the ground. She finally hit the ground and fell unconscious.
Blossom and Bubbles were wide eyed, surprised at what happened. Of course they weren't alone as every kid present was surprise. The girls got back to themselves and faced Princess determinedly on their feet. Blossom clenched her fists tightly before throwing it to the ground. Her action sent tons of rocks at Princess who didn't seem intimidated by them.
Princess simply raised her cannon covered hands and shot direct lasers at the attack. This caused an explosion that dust covered the entire scene. Before Princess knew it, she was hit by double direct laser beams at her chest. The villainess was taken aback, but remained on her feet to face her opponents.
Through the dust cloud, Blossom flew straight at Princess and threw a fast punch at her face. Princess was sent flying from her feet and hit the ground. She stood up to her feet and faced the girls. But she was unaware of Bubbles coming behind her while the villainess faced Blossom. The blue eyed Powerpuff girl came at Princess from behind and kicked her, sending her straight at Blossom.
When Princess was sent at Blossom, the Powerpuff side stepped until Princess almost passed her. She quickly grabbed her wrist and flew up in the air with the villainess in her hand. Once she got to the ceiling, she did a backflip and threw Princess to the ground. Nothing could stop the villainess from falling until she made contact with the ground.
However, Blossom was not through as she flew at Princess. She hovered above Princess and let out a breathe of ice from her mouth. Princess was getting up to her feet despite the beating, but the sudden ice attack covered her. Blossom stopped her attack and waited for the ice fog to fade away. But when it cleared, the girls and everyone else were shocked.
Princess stood up straight, though she looked very angry. Her suit had a red aura that prevented her from freezing by Blossom's ice power. The villainess glared at Blossom directly and yelled angrily, "Now it's my turn!"
Within the villainess's right fist, a red elastic energy whip formed. She swung the whip at Blossom, trapping her by the foot despite the Powerpuff tried to fly away. She swung the Blossom around the air while making her hit a pillar and a wall.
Bubbles became scared and flew at Princess, "Let my sister go!"
"My pleasure." Princess smirked.
The villainess swung Blossom at Bubbles, sending both of them to hit the ground. While the two were down, she made the whip to disappear and closed her eyes to concentrate. As she did so, her hands went forward at the girls and an orange formed around their waist. By the time girls tried breaking free, it was too late. Their hands were by their sides and their legs were held together by an orange energy ring.
Princess put down her hand and laughed. But it didn't last long as she felt a tingly feeling as a warning of something coming at her. She quickly turned around and made a green shield to cover with her hands up just in time to obstruct a laser beam. She put it down and looked up to find Buttercup hovering above her.
"I see you never give up!"
Buttercup snarled a bit and cracked her fists, "First rule about me, Princess. I never give up." Immediately she said that, the Powerpuff girl flew straight at Princess and threw a punch. But at the last second, the villainess disappeared, letting the fist to pass her. Before Buttercup could question her disappearance, Princess reappeared right behind her. The Powerpuff look back and glared at the girl angrily, "Do you really think you can run away from me that easily?!"
"Who said anything about running?" Princess's voice came from behind her.
Buttercup became confuse and looked back and saw another image of Princess. Then another voice of hers came from her right, "Yeah, Buttercup."
"I'm right here." The real Princess stood by her right.
Seeing that Princess had surrounded her, Buttercup concluded that the villainess made duplicates of herself. Of course she wasn't worried about it, but rather was angry at Princess. She charged up her eyes to fire which made then glow red.
However, Princess took a shot breathe of air and let out a sonic scream like Bubbles. Her duplicates did the same thing, sending all of their attacks at Buttercup. The tough Powerpuff girl screamed in pain as she held her ears in an attempt to block the attack. It was getting too much, but that didn't stop Buttercup from shooting each duplicate with her laser beams.
Each duplicate she shot, that duplicate shattered into yellow star dust. She finally faced the real Princess and shot her laser beams at her. However, to her shock Princess vanished like the others. This meant that who she thought was the real Princess was actually a duplicate.
Angered but also weakened, Buttercup cried out in anger, "Come out here, coward!"
"Who are you calling a coward?!"
Buttercup right behind her and found Princess standing. However, before she could act, Princess's hand went into Buttercup's chest intangibly. Everyone and the captured Powerpuff girls gasped when they saw the hand go deep within Buttercup's chest. Buttercup couldn't do anything as she felt a squeeze on her chest before blacking out.
When Princess brought out her hand, Buttercup fell to the ground. The kids and the girls gasped which brought the attention of Princess.
"I didn't kill her yet!" She told them as she faced the captured girls, "I want to kill her along with her sisters. That way not even one of them will last."
Ben gasped, "Oh no."
Princess failed to see the shock expression on Ben's face as she picked up Buttercup and went to the captured girls. She threw the defeated Powerpuff next to the others and formed a ring around her in case she woke up before she ends them. Princess then back up a bit and formed a yellow energy ball in each hand and shot a huge energy blast from them.
The Powerpuff girls could do nothing as they squeezed their eyes shut and hope for the better to live. Ben watched the whole thing and came to a conclusion; Princess is evil.
"No!" Ben shouted and jumped into the air. He landed right in front of the girls, surprising them and Princess. The blast came right at him, but he quickly slammed the Omnitrix down. A flash of light engulfed him before going away. When it went down, Ben stood as Perk Upchuck.
Immediately the two blasts came, Upchuck opened his mouth and ate them right before everyone. He swallowed down to his stomach and it glowed within with no bad effect on him.
"Stop this now, Princess!" Upchuck told the villainess firmly.
Princess was wide eyed at what she saw. When Upchuck's voice registered in her mind, she shook her head and yelled at the hero, "You're a freak too?!"
"I'm not a freak!" Ben said with the deadliest glare his alien form can give, "I thought you were good, Princess. But beating and threatening to kill my friends has gone far enough!"
"Too bad." Princess smiled slyly, "For staying by their side you die with them!"
At the last word, Upchuck prepared himself to fire, "Not happening!"
Upchuck opened his mouth and let out the same blast he ate previously. Princess didn't except it, so as a first reaction she held her hands up to shield herself. The blast hit her, which made every kid present to cheer in excitement. However, when the dust that formed vanished they found Princess still standing. The villainess growled through her teeth and shot it at all the kids surrounding them.
"Back off! This isn't over!" At the last syllable, she formed a cannon on her right hand and shot it at the girls and Upchuck. A huge explosion took place, making a huge hole in the wall and debris on the ground.
Outside, the girls and Upchuck found themselves a bit far from a destroyed wall of the Manson. The girls were still tied despite the blast, so it was only Upchuck that was able to stand up. The small alien felt a lot of pain from the blast since his body was meant to take that much. It was a good thing that he was still alive and standing.
It didn't take long as Upchuck stood that Princess walked through the large hole, "Had enough, freaks!?"
Upchuck held his side and panted, "Not a cha…" He came to a stop when the Omnitrix symbol began to flash green with a constant beep. Knowing what that meant, Ben frowned, "I…um meant to do that."
A flash of light covered Upchuck. When it died down in Upchuck's place was Ben again. The Omnitrix hero frowned and slumped his shoulders, "Sometimes I really hate when that happens."
Princess laughed in full amusement, "So is that the best you got, freak? I expected a bigger challenge than that. I guess that's why the girls kept you. It's all because you're weak and nothing, but that."
Ben growled in anger and was about to yell when a mist of dark energy formed right next to Princess. He noticed it and became wide eyed as it formed into the Dimensional villain, Nefarius.
"I agree. That isn't your best, Tennyson." Nefarius stated.
Seeing his worst enemy again, Ben let out a growl, "We'll see about that!"
Blossom gasped and shouted, "Ben, get out here!"
However her words were ignored as Ben charged at the two villainess. Princess put up a smug look and glanced at Nefarius who nodded for her to go on. She looked back at Ben and formed a cannon laser blast at him before firing lasers at him. But that didn't stop the teen hero as he ran fast and moved out of the way of the blasts. Nefarius was amazed and so were the kids and Powerpuff girls.
Princess got irritated and stopped her blast at Ben. She put the cannons away and held her hands up which soon formed a huge yellow energy ball. Ben came to a sudden halt when he came close and quickly jump back as Princess threw the ball at him. It made a big impact on the ground, sending a strong force that hit Ben. The teen hero was able to do a back flip before hitting the ground, so instead he stood on his feet.
Princess scowled a bit with visible teeth and a hot glare at Ben, "Stay still you runt!"
"Yeah like I'm gonna do that!" Ben retorted and went to the Omnitrix. A hologram appeared before he slammed the dial down, making a green light to engulf him in a flash. When the light disappeared, Ben stood as a humanoid alien with green eyes and a bat-like ears for a face and a mouth as well. He has yellow skin and wears black pants with white circles on them. The Omnitrix symbol is on the belt of the pants.
"Oh yeah! Do I have it!" Shouted Ben as Eye Guy.
Eye Guy summoned a huge eye on his chest and began to charge it up to hit Princess. However, he was beaten to it as Princess shot a single blast at the eye. Eye Guy cried out in pain as he held the eye, "Oh crud! My eye!" He was then covered in a flash of light and changed back to normal, "Um…that wasn't suppose to happen."
"Give up, Tennyson." Nefarius stated right away, "The amour the girl wears is a powerful weapon I developed since our adventure in the universe of Danny Phantom."
Ben smirked a bit and activated the Omnitrix, "Then I guess I'll just have to break!" He slammed the watch down and changed into Perk Upchuck in a flash of light.
"Not this time!" Princess shouted and shot a fast blast at Ben.
Upchuck opened his mouth to swallow it, but when he did he blew up like a balloon and changed back to normal in a flash of light. Exhausted, Ben began to pant and went to the Omnitrix, "Okay…please give me a good one." Again, the slammed the watch down and was engulfed in a flash of light. When it cleared, he stood as a humanoid-insect alien with some shark like looks. He was dark blue, has a long horn on the top of his head and a large mouth. The Omnitrix symbol was on his chest.
"Now we're talking!" Ben exclaimed excitedly. A thought then came to him and he took a look at his alien form again, "Alright…um…what power does this guy have."
However, Ben didn't ponder much on that as Princess shot an electric blast. Ben cried out in pain as surge of electricity shocked him. It was so much that he fell on his knees and changed back to normal. Luckily, when he changed back he didn't feel the pain.
Nefarius smiled in amusement and laughed, "Had enough, Tennyson?"
"I'm...just…warming up." Ben panted in exhaustion.
While the whole ordeal happened, the girls tried struggling from their bonds. Ben was easily getting beaten by Princess from the looks of it, but sadly there was nothing they could do.
Blossom let out a grunt and cried out to Ben, "Get out of here! We'll take care of her."
Princess rolled her eyes with a snicker and appeared behind Ben's back, "Too late, girls. Ben is all mine now."
Immediately, the villainess took Ben by the back of his shirt and flew up into the air. The Powerpuff girls and the kids watching gasped as Ben was taken higher. From the looks of it Princess wanted to drop him.
While Ben gazed helpless from the sky, Princess reached to his ear and whispered, "You may be cute, but you're too weak for my taste."
"Trust me, you're no good looking." Ben cleverly said, "I have a girlfriend and she thinks I'm pretty awesome. In fact I've had enough of people thinking and calling me weak. It's time you guys see what true power holds."
Princess was a bit lost at what he meant, but couldn't care the least. Ben went to the Omnitrix, but this time dialed to the right alien. He found the hologram of a powerful alien he knew and slammed it down. Soon a brightening flash of light engulfed him while also blinding Princess. The villainess let go of Ben and he was sent falling to the ground while he began to change.
When Ben hit the ground, the whole place shook violently and a huge dust cloud covered him. Everyone had their eyes on the ground to see if Ben truly survived the fall. They noticed a small white flash before the dust cloud cleared away. Ben was alright, but he looked very different. He was about twenty foot tall and had a humanoid robotic appearance. He mainly had the color green and white on him while also with large cylinders on his arms, near his wrists which were filled with green energy. He has an Omnitrix shaped chest and also the symbol of it on his torso.
Ben stood up from the ground and bellowed with his hands up, "ATOMIX!"
Unknown to everyone, Nefarius formed a grin. Everything was going exactly as he planned. Now it was time to see who was more powerful.
Princess hovered a few meters from Ben above. Upon seeing his new appearance, she scoffed, "When will you get it that those freaks you have can't save you."
"Come and see for yourself, little irritating girl." Atomix said and did a 'come and get me' hand sign.
Angered, Princess powered up fists and shot an energy blast at Atomix. The Omnitrix bearer did not move, but rather held his hand at the blast and absorbed it. Before Princess could react, he raised his other hand at her and fired the same energy she sent except that it was green. Princess got hit hand and crashed on the ground, a block away from him.
Everyone gasped in the power Atomix just did. He didn't have to do much to take Princess down. But it didn't mean that Princess was out of the fight. The villainess got off from the ground, now angered at how easily Atomix hit her. She flew straight at him with her fists glowing powerful energy and threw her right fist at him. Atomix caught it with his hand easily and caught the other one when Princess threw it.
Now holding her, Atomix spin around once with her and threw her straight into her father's mansion. He knew that Princess will get right up again, so he looked at the kids standing close to the mansion, "Get out of here, little ones! It's time I end this fight."
The kids listened to the Omnitrix bearer and ran away from the house. It was a good thing though as Princess flying out of the ceiling with yellow energy all over her body. From the expression on her face, Atomix knew that he made the villainess very angry. He was wondered about it, even when Princess came fast at him.
Atomix's fists glowed and he moved it around in circle, "HAA-MEE-NA HAA-MEE-NA HAA-MEE-NA-HA!" A flow of energy formed covered on his chest as he brought them close together and faced them at an upcoming Princess, "NUCLEAR WINNER!"
Immediately, Atomix shot a massive blast that was bigger than him. It cut right through the air and the ground while heading straight at Princess. Despite the power she possessed, Princess was hit by the blast and sent flying into her mansion with the blast followed. In an instant, the whole place collapsed into debris.
The Powerpuff girls were wide eyed at what they saw. Ben single handedly took down Princess without getting a hit or trying seriously. It wasn't only them that were amazed as the kids and Nefarius had also seen it. The dimensional villain grew a bigger grin as he was now satisfied with his answer. Ben was more powerful than his battle suit.
Atomix noticed Nefarius and flashed his eyes in anger, "If you know what's good for you, I advise you leave now."
Nefarius complied, having seen what he needed to see. A dark energy covered him and he was gone in a second. Atomix then walked to the girls and waved his hands at the rings holding them. The things that held them vaporized into thin air, allowing the girls to get up to their feet.
"Now who's the weak one?" Atomix asked rhetorically in a monotone voice.
Now of the girls answered as they remained quiet. Atomix didn't mind at all as he turned away and flew off into the skies. The Powerpuff girls watched him fly away along with the kids as well.
"Wow." Buttercup finally said.

Tomorrow, the next day, Pokey Oarks Middle school started out as usual. The event that happened in Princess Mansion was kept on a down low thanks to the Powerpuff girls persuading the student body to keep quiet about it. The only thing that now worried the girls was Ben. Ever since the fight the Omnitrix bearer has been so quiet that he barely talked to anyone.
Blossom waited for the right time to face him when the bell for lunch rang. She followed Ben all the way to the top of the school building and saw him stand by the railings. He seems to be in his thoughts as she walked to him and stood next to him, facing the skies like he did.
"Lovely weather, huh?" Ben said all of a sudden.
Blossom nodded and smiled, "Indeed it is. But it isn't the reason I came here." She heard the hero sigh as his eyes looked away in sadness. Worried, she drew a bit closer and unconsciously touched the face of the Omnitrix. Ben failed to notice the watch glow yellow as it sampled Blossom's DNA.
"Is something wrong?" Blossom asked.
"Yeah…" Ben finally admitted, "I'm just regret being a jerk to you girls. You warned me about Princess, but I didn't listen."
"It isn't your fault, Ben. I became overprotective that I lost sight of how strong you are. Buttercup was right after." Blossom chuckled a bit at the last part, "Wow, I never thought I'll say that."
Ben felt a bit better that he faced Blossom, "So what now?"
"We do what we do best. Being the heroes and protecting innocent lives."
Ben nodded in agreement and formed a smile on his face. Blossom was glad, but felt awkward when a question came to mind, "So, Ben, do you really have a…girlfriend?"
"Yeah, why do you ask? You don't by any chance have a crush on me do you?"
Blossom blushed at those words and was about to speak when Butterup's voice interjected, "No, that's reserved for the red haired with glasses."
"Huh?" Confused, Ben looked to the entrance and found Buttercup and Bubbles standing there.
Buttercup had a sly smile on her face as her hands were folded, "Relax, it's just me and Bubbles. We've been here doing the whole conversation."
"Okay…so who's the red haired Blossom likes?"
Buttercup was about to answer, but Blossom came at her in super speed and covered her mouth. Almost to the point of panting, Blossom asked with a fake cheerful smile, "So who's up for the Professor's pie?"
"I am!" Bubbles exclaimed cheerfully.
Ben knew better not to object so he agreed. Bubbles led him all the way to the door, leaving her two other sisters behind. Blossom removed her hand from Buttercup's mouth and shot a glare that said 'keep your mouth shut.' Buttercup only laughed about it before following her sister to the door.

Night time on Dimension Doomsday, Nefarius stood behind a top railing as he watched below of a massive work. About dozens of workers were fixing his battle suit that he had given to Princess. After the fight, he had taken the suit away from her when he left and brought it back for repairs and examination. The designs of the suit were very different from how Princess wore it.
"So how did the test go?" Asked a familiar voice.
Nefarius looked to his side and found Vlad in his ghost form next to him. The dimensional villain looked back at his ultimate weapon and smirked, "It went far better than I expected. Tennyson didn't suspect that the suit was collecting battle data. And since he turned into one of his most powerful forms the battle suit took much data from the fight."
"Excellent." Vlad grinned as well, "It won't be long before the Ultimate weapon crushes Benjamin and Supremes over his Omnitrix"
"I couldn't say it any better." Nefarius said and burst into an evil laughter.

Unknown to everyone on Dimension Doomsday, an invisible kid was in a computerized room. The person hooked a flash drive into the computer and took all the information he needed before running out. Since he was invisible none of the guards or villains on board could see or detect the person.
The unidentified person opened a secret door that led outside and jumped out of the ship. It never worried the person that he or she might die as the person held a grappling hook at the top of a building. Fortunately, the hook held the pole and the person was building to the top of the building. Once done, the person removed his mask which also deactivated the invisible suit.
Now seen clearly, the person was actually a kid by the age of 11. He has a clear bald head and wore dark sunglasses. The boy held a phone like communicator and talked into it, "This is Numbuh one of the Kids Next Door, Sector V. I've obtained the information that might suggest what the adults are doing with a man called Nefarius."
"Goodwork, Numbuh One. Your next order is to bring it to Moon Base to view it." Numbuh 274 said from the other line.
Numbuh One nodded, "I'm on my way."
Once he was done, he put the communicator away and remembered a time he viewed the computer. It showed him a teenager with brown hair and green eyes. According to the little information he read of the teen, it said that the teen was very powerful. Numbuh One knew that instant that whoever the teenager was, he spelt disaster to kids all of the world.
Knowing very well that the information must be known to the Kids Next Door, Numbuh One strapped on a backpack and pressed a bit by its side. Two small jets sprouted from the side and a tube attached to an oxygen mask came on his face. With that done, the kid was off from the ground and ended straight into Outer Space.

Finally, I'm done with this chapter. Again, I apologize very much for the late update. I have things going on right now so updates might be slow to this story. I'm just glad I was able to update this chapter despite some troubles.
For your information, the alien that Ben turned into that wasn't called out was Eatle. It's the first time he turned into him, so that's why he didn't know how to use him.
Now that's cleared up. On to the review.
