Hey everyone. That's right, I'm back to writing this story series. I know it may have seem that I totally abandoned this fanfic, but this just goes to show you that I didn't abandon it and neither will I do that unless I notify you guys.

I had some writer's block and university work that kept me occupied throughout the time. But now I'm gonna try finishing this part of the series by summer's end while also enjoying my vacation and getting a meantime job (that is if I can get it)

Anyway here is the chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 6: Nightly Adventure part 1

It has been more than over six months since Ben began his cross-dimensional travel. So far he met Danny Phantom, the Teen Titans, the Ninja Turtles and now he was with the Powerpuff girls. A lot of things have happened during the adventures in different worlds. There were winnings and loses on the hero's and villain's part. He had to combat a mysterious figure named Nefarius who wishes to take over the multi-verse and bend it to his own will. But Ben won't let that happen and will do whatever it takes to stop the villain once and for all.

Until Ben can beat the foe, he will have to get stronger, stop the villain's plans and ally himself with different heroes of different worlds. As he does this, he will get to understand and grow to be the Ultimate Ben 10; that is if he lives to be that.

***************************)

It was another fine day in the city of Townsville. Nothing unusual or villain related took place at the time being. That was a good relief considering the Powerpuff girl and Ben had plans; those plans being against Ben's wishes. It was one of the things teenage boys like Ben hated the most. The very mere mention of it sends a shudder down their spines. That thing was…clothes shopping.

It was noon in the afternoon and the girls were escorting Ben through different stores in a mall. So far that day, the girls had brought some clothes for themselves while Ben followed with a bored expression on his face. It hadn't reached his own turn to shop, not that he wanted to. Apparently the girls were fashion lovers; the girls being only Blossom and Bubbles, Buttercup wasn't interested in shopping which was why she was absent.

The girls stopped by a store and went in. Ben waited outside considering it would likely have things that young boys like him shouldn't see. When he breathed a sigh of relief, he got dragged in by Bubbles who found it funny to bring him in. Over the time Ben had to cover his eyes to avoid looking.

"Oh come on, do I really have to do this?" Ben whined.

"Yes." Blossom answered.

Bubbles smiled a bit and glanced at Ben, "Sorry. Besides, you can open your eyes now before you hit something."

"No way, I'm keeping them closed." Ben said strictly, but unfortunately paid the price.

As he kept walking with his eyes closed, he hit a clothes rack which knocked him and the clothes down. He yelped and opens his eyes only to see a girl's underwear on his face. Like that wasn't enough, other girls in the store eyed him with deadly glares.

"Uh oh." Ben grimanced.

"PERVERT!"

The last thing Ben remembered was a slap and a ton of kicking.

***************************)

Now the powerpuff girls were walking again, but now Ben had an ice pack. He had it close to his face to calm down the throbbing pain he got from the other girls in the store. Bubbles look to her side, at him, with a frown, "We're sorry, Ben. We didn't mean that to happen."

"I know." Ben sighed; at least now the pain was going away.

"Besides…" Bubbles perked a smile, "now you're banned from all girl related stores for a whole year."

"Yeah don't remind me." Ben said; an anime sweat drop on his face.

After a short while, the group came across a male store. Blossom directed her sister and friend into the store, where they began work on Ben's fashion. The girls picked out clothes for him which he took and went to change in the changing room. At first it was embarrassing, but then it became a lot worse when nearby guys would snicker at the sight of two girls helping him out.

"Someone please kill me now." Ben muttered with his head down.

Blossom shoved another bunch of clothes in his hands and pushed him in the changing room. Her face was strict as she retorted, "No time for that. Now try out these clothes."

Obviously Blossom didn't pay attention to what Ben said. She stood with her sister as they waited for Ben to change until she noticed some clothes not too far from them.

Blossom said to her sister, "Give this to Ben. I'll be right back."

Blossom then left, leaving her sister to look at what her sister gave her. In her hand was a football cap which was meant for Ben. She decided to walk into the changing room to give Ben, without giving a thought of how bad that was.

By the meantime Ben was finding it hard to wear a tight underwear. His back was faced against Bubbles when she came in. But when he felt someone enter he turned and froze, along with Bubbles whose eyes went down unintentionally.

Both teens froze for a few seconds before Bubbles dropped the cap and walked back without a word said. By then Blossom walked there with the clothes in hand. She noticed her sister standing frozen with a flushed look on her face in one spot and became worried.

"Bubbles, are you okay?"

The blond haired Powerpuff glanced at her sister and whispered, "I'm too young…"

"What?" Blossom looked at her sister confused.

"I'M TOO YOUNG!"

Bubbles couldn't contain herself anymore. In a flash speed, she ran out of the store screaming. Blossom blinked twice until Ben came out in his normal clothes. She looked to him and asked, "What happened to her?"

"I don't know." Ben simply shrugged his shoulder as he answered.

Blossom decided to leave Ben and flew off to catch up with her sister. Once the girl left, Ben flushed and fainted.

*****************************************)

An hour later, Blossom had finally found the final clothes for Ben. But before then things had been hectic during that hour. Blossom had to find her sister for the most of it. She eventually found her on the top of the mall building, rocking her body back her forth as she folded her knees to her chest. She kept muttering, "I'm too young. I'm too young…"

Then an entire twenty minutes was spent trying to calm Bubbles down. From there she and Bubbles went back to the store, only to find Ben unconscious on the floor. Both girls had to revive him until he was fully conscious to be himself. Blossom knew then that Bubbles saw the unspeakable from Ben, but chose not to bring it up.

Now back to the present, Ben came out of the changing room with a new look. Instead of his usual clothing, now Ben wore a black shirt with a green jacket and blue pants. The green jacket had white stripes which had the number ten on it. He also wore blue shoes and the Omnitrix was under the jacket's sleeve.

"Perfect!" Blossom smirked and clapped her hands.

Ben took a look at his new clothes and nodded. The new look really went with him.

********************************************)

The rest of the day went well. The usual monster attacks happened and the girls and Ben were able to beat them. Other than that they engaged in other fun activities before the day came to an end.

The girls slept at their usual room while Ben slept at a spare room that used to be storage. The house was silent for the next few hours until a door moved. That cause was Ben who began to make his way to the kitchen to get a midnight snack. He knew it was wrong, but his stomach had talked him over it.

The brown haired teen made his way pass the girls room but came to a stop. The door was silent open, so he peeked through to see the girls sound asleep. He was just about to close it when he noticed something odd. Bubbles got off her bed quiet and carried a bag at the corner of the room. Ben didn't make a sound, not wanting the girl's enhanced hearing to pick him up.

Soon, Bubbles flew out the window. Ben closed the door quietly and thought to himself as he ran to the front door, 'Where the heck is Bubbles going to? Especially at a time like this.' He came to a halt and slammed into the front door.

"Ow." Ben winced as he turned the door knob. It opened and he walked out.

A minute later Ben went to the Omnitrix and activated it. The usual green hologram popped up and he slammed it down when he found the right alien for him. A flash of light engulfed him and began to change him. His body began to grow a little taller as he earned horns on his forehead and wings under his arm. When the light died down, Ben called out the alien form he is.

"Jetray!"

He then took off to the skies and headed fast to Bubbles. When he caught up with her, he found her landing in front of a building. It had a circle building structure and lights so blind were on the front door. Bubbles flew at the side door and walked in.

Jetray came closer to the building and went behind a parked car to change back. When he came out he was back to his normal self. Around the building were parked cars that were expensive and fancy. There were people dressed in glamorous clothing that walked into the building. It began to make Ben wonder what Bubbles could possibly be doing in a place like that.

Taking a look at a lighten billboard, it had written words which said "Special art Auditorium Day 5 discovery of artists"

"Hmm." Ben said to him.

Quietly, Ben crossed the street and went into the same door Bubbles went in. He found himself in a room with another door which peeked out lights from its small spaces. Ben looked around for any sign of Bubbles until his eyes caught sight of the same bag she used. He looked into it and found her usual clothes in it.

"Okay, this is odd." Ben said to himself, "I wonder what Bubbles is doing here."

Deciding that Bubbles might have gone through the door, Ben opened it and brought his head out. The room he came to see was bright with white walls and some art paintings on the wall. He saw a few rich individuals that didn't get his attention until his eyes landed on a crowd that were gathered around someone and an art painting.

From the looks of it the crowd was pleased with the art and the artist. When they departed Ben became wide eyed to see Bubbles. Not only that but she was dressed entirely different

"Bubbles?" Ben gasped in surprise.

The blond teen was dressed in a blue long elegant skirt and a blue shirt that only hung on one shoulder. Her blond pigtail hair was loose, letting it down that it reached pass her shoulders. She wore square glasses and wrist bracelets in both hands while her face was painted with face makeup.

Ben closed the door right away to get over what he saw, "Wow, Bubbles looks cute." He slapped his face, "What did I just say!? This isn't time to think that. I got to find out what she's doing here but I can't just go there with these clothes. Maybe this dump has something…useful."

Ben's eyes landed on a clothes rack. It was deserted of clothes except a tuxedo that was about his size. Though coincidental, Ben decided it will do for now and wore it. He finished wearing it when he wore the bow. Then he went to the door again but this time went out through it and looked around for Bubbles.

A round of laughter came from the hall at Ben's right. The Omnitrix bearer saw Bubbles talking and laughing with a group of rich teens. He quietly and firmly walked to her and tapped her shoulder. Bubbles didn't notice and giggled at his face until her eyes grew wide as she recognized her friend.

"Ben!?" Bubbles gasped, shockingly.

"Do you know him?" A blond teen, much taller than Bubbles and Ben, asked.

"Uh…yes." Bubbles said nervously while facing him, "His…uh my rich friend from…uh Florida."

"Oh that makes sense, Lady Grace."

The blond teen laughed with his other friends. Bubbles made a fake laughed at excused her and Ben before grabbing him by his sleeve and taking him to a corner. Once they were alone Ben gave her a look, "Lady Grace? Okay, you got three seconds to tell me what's going on here."

Bubbles sighed, "Fine, I knew I would get caught eventually. I just thought Blossom would be the one."

"Not helping"

"Sorry." Bubbles sighed again and explained, "A month ago I did some work on my art drawing and submitted it to a website. I didn't know that the website was actually some financial institution for art paintings until it was too late. A rich guy that calls himself Mr. Boss saw it and loved it. Ever since then he has been offering me to come to this place during its occasion nights and displaying various paintings I made."

"Okay that explains why you're here. But what doesn't explain is your clothes and fake name."

"Oh that." Bubbles said with a flustered look, "I made that up so Mr. Boss won't know who I am. I worked off the clothes by taking a lot of part time jobs. It's a good thing I have super speed or else I wouldn't have made it in time." Bubbles then took a breath and held Ben's hand with her two hands, "So please don't ruin this for me. Once Mr. Boss decides to sponsor my art career I'll be famous and finally achieve my dream."

Ben gave it a thought and shrugged as he smiled, "Sure why not? I don't see what could go wrong. I'll like to stay around just to watch out for you."

"Thanks." Bubbles shrieked with glee in her eyes and kissed Ben on the cheeks.

The Omnitrix bearer blushed before following Bubbles back to the people. There, Bubbles and Ben spent their time talking with the rich people and socializing. At first it seemed hard but Ben got it down a little. He even got a fake name from Bubbles, Mr. Daniel Fenton.

Sometime later Bubbles noticed a certain person coming and shrieked in excitement. She gripped Ben's hand so tightly that the teen had to muffle a cry.

"Bubbles, my hand."

"Oh sorry." Bubbles blushed and let go. She then pointed to her front, "Look, it's Mr. Boss. All my hard work will finally pay off."

True to her words, the man named Mr. Boss approached with two teens. Mr. Boss was a short hunchback man with a brown moustache and an almost bald head. His teenage company was the blond boy from earlier and African-American teen. Both teens are at the age of sixteen.

"Ah, it's so good to meet you, Lady Grace!" Mr. Boss openly said with a grin. He saw Ben and pointed to him, "Who is he?"

"This is my friend. He's Mr. Daniel Fenton, a guy from Florida." Bubbles answered.

Bubbles took a lady's bow, which she then quickly nudges Ben to do a bow as well. Mr. Boss showed his impressiveness nature up, even as he then looked at Bubbles painting that was right behind her. The painting was that of a beautiful butterfly with bright colors consisting of blue, yellow and red stripes. The eyes were green and its antennas were pitch black.

"So is this your latest master piece?" Mr. Boss asked as he faced the two.

Bubbles became nervous as doubt about the drawing came to mind. Ben realized she wouldn't speak soon, so he confirmed it, "Yeah it is. I think it's one of her best so far."

"Oh really?" Mr. Boss glanced at it and smirked, "I love it. This can be used in the teen arts award next year once I buy it."

"Buy it?" Bubbles narrowed her eyes at the man in confusion, "I'm sorry but this isn't for sale."

"What!?" Ben shouted.

"What!?" Mr. Boss's company shouted.

Mr. Boss became mute, his happy expression gone. He nodded to Bubbles and said, "Alright then. It was nice doing work with you. Have a nice day."

With that said the man walked away. Ben watched as the man and his people walked away and then glanced at Bubbles who only bowed her head down in sadness.

***************************************)

The event came to an end. The people who attended began to leave including Ben and Bubbles from the front door. For the two teens the event was depressing, specifically for Bubbles. She felt like all her efforts had been for nothing. It was really painful for the Powerpuff girl.

Ben held her close to him as they left the building. Since then he has been trying to calm her down, though he could hear her crying with a muffled tone. He held her close to his chest when they were far from others and whispered to her ears, "I know this hurt really badly but I promise it will be better. That guy doesn't know what he just lost. But that doesn't mean you've lost too."

"Really?" Bubbles questioned as she looked up to Ben with teary eyes.

"Yeah." Ben confirmed with a smile, "Another opportunity will come up. Just you wait."

Bubbles sniffed a bit and smiled, "Thank you, Ben."

"No problem." Ben said. He pulled out a handkerchief from the tuxedo and gave it to her, "Now clean up. Just make up is kind of…you know."

"Oh." Bubbles blushed in embarrassment

True to his words, Bubbles makeup was messed up. Her eyeliner had become black and pink from all the crying. The blond teen took the handkerchief and began to clean it off. It came off quiet easily, allowing that cheerful face Bubbles possess to appear once again.

"How do I look?" Bubbles asked.

"You look outstanding. No makeup can make change that."

Bubbles blushed a bit and looked away. Unfortunately that moment was ruined when an explosion came from the arts buildings. Quickly both heroes spun their heads to the direction and saw it was on fire. Not only was it on fire but the top of the building was blown up.

Bubbles gasped, "My paintings."

The Powerpuff made a run for it but Ben grabbed her hand. She looked back at Ben and pulled her hand from him, "My paintings are in there. I have to save them."

"I know, but you can't just go in there like this." Ben said, talking about her clothes, "Besides, if people see a Powerpuff girl going in there, the girls and Professor will know we snuck out."

"Oh." Bubbles frowned and teary face.

"Relax." Ben smiled, "I got this."

Quickly as he said that, the Omnitrix bearer went to his watch. The usual hologram popped up; displaying an alien form he has never seen before. "Huh, I wonder what this guy can do." He asked to himself before slamming the face down.

The usual green light engulfed his body; the transformation beginning. His body becomes taller as armor replaced his body and a hood covered his head. Not only that but his face become metal with no mouth and his eyes were green. On his hands formed port holes as he also had fingers with claws; the Omnitrix symbol rested on his chest.

Finally the green light died down, revealing the new form Ben possessed. The alien's entire body was covered in red armor, which questioned Ben to look at his new form.

"Okay…this is new."

Bubbles looked the alien form well and asked, "What is he?"

"I don't know." Ben shrugged his metal shoulder, "This is probably one of the aliens Paradox installed into the Omnitrix. I never got to try it out."

Suddenly the fire became so high it got the heroes attention. Bubbles again gasped and looked to Ben for hope of stopping it. Ben knew this before running off to stop it. Though he didn't know how, he surely wasn't going to stand there and watch as Bubbles work was burned down to the ground. He came closer to the place when a gush of water shot out from the port holes in his hands.

Falling to the ground, Ben went on his hands and feet as he glanced at his right hand, "So that's what I can do. Alright…" He got up at this point while his hands were down, "let's do this."

Another gush of water shot out from both his hands this time and shot him into the air. He flew to the top of the building, where he touched down. But due to the fire burning, the place Ben stood on almost gave out. He jumped before it fell apart and did it again when that part almost collapsed. He stood on somewhere was stable and held his hands upward.

"I hope this works!"

Immediately He shot his hands upward into the air and shot a large gush of later. It went high up and came down in drops of rain water that began to extinguish the fire on the building. The people were amazed as they saw from the ground a humanoid alien in red armor getting rid of the water. The crowd began to cheer with a loud voice, with Bubbles who had tears of happiness forming in her eyes.

However the work was far from over. The fire outside was gone, but the fire within was still active. He brought his hands down and punched the roof, making him to fall into the building. As expected the fire went widely within the building. The water system sprinklers were burnt due to the wide fire. The paintings Ben could see were burnt while a few others had dark ashes.

The Omnitrix Bearer shot out hands to his side and unleashed gushes of water. He stood at the corridor different hallways and began to shoot water through them. The fire was quickly extinguished, soon making the fire spreading to come to an end. His actions kept the fire from spreading, but it began to get stronger.

"Damn, I can't keep going at this."

Ben looked around for a solution until he noticed two individuals wearing black armor. Their appearance gave them the impression of ninjas, but Ben was less concerned about that. He noticed from their body frame that one was a boy while the other was a girl. The boy held a bag filled with paintings while the girl was taking another painting from a wall; a painting Ben knew about.

"Bubbles's painting!" Ben cried out, which also got the attention of the ninjas.

Quickly he shot a gush of water to stop them. But they ran off to another hallway once Ben shouted. The Omnitrix bearer gave chase at them and began to draw close. His new alien form had agile speed which he was impressed considering the kind of armor he possessed. Once he got close he shot a gush of water at them, sending both of them flying through the exit door.

The girl ninja got to her feet quickly. She looked back to see the alien hero coming after them. She was just about to fly away but realized that her mission wasn't over. Her colleague was unconscious, so she quickly grabbed the bag of paintings and flew off via jets under feet. However a water whip suddenly lashed around her knee.

Looking down, the ninja saw that the alien had her in his reached. His water whip held tightly to her before he began pulling her down despite her resistance.

"Let go of me, freak!" The ninja scolded at him in disgust.

A small cannon formed on her wrist and shot a red beam at Ben. However it did nothing to him.

"Really, you thought that would work?" Ben said with a sarcastic tone.

The ninja knew now that she would be unable to hurt Ben. But upon looking at the water whip, she shot at it and it broke, freeing her to make her get way. The ninja laughed manically and flew off with the bag.

Ben growled angrily. He heard a fast breeze approach him and looked back, only to see Bubbles. The blond Powerpuff was back in her usual clothing.

"Wow, what happened?" Asked Bubbles.

Ben looked away from her and ran to the building still on fire, "Just watch after that guy." He told her.

Via water blasts, Ben launched himself to the top of the building. The fire within the building had strengthened since Ben left to chase the ninjas. It came to the teen hero that he won't be able to take out the water by shooting water at different spots. Fortunately he spotted a big metal box which functioned as the opening of the air vents. He tore off the cover and blasted a full gush of water into it.

The large gush of water went through the vents within the building, making its way through all parts of the building. Due to its mass, it broke through different openings and unleashed floods of water within the building. In seconds the fire was extinguished and the building was free of fire. But the water also burst through building's window.

"Whoops." Ben said with a wide eyed expression. He saw how much water was pouring out and quickly walked the other way to avoid being seen.

At the meantime Bubbles watched the fire destroyed and the water flooding out. She was happy that the building was saved, although unaware that her paintings were stolen. Suddenly Ben landed on the ground, making some cracks on the ground. He stood up straight fine and well and walked to his friend.

"Ben!" Bubbles burst out in happiness and hugged him, "You did it!"

"Yeah but…"

"And I just thought out a new name. Water Harzard."

"Okay but…wait. Water Harzard?" Ben questioned. He gave it a thought and nodded in approval since he couldn't smile in his current form, "That has a nice ring to it."

Bubbles giggled and smiled with the most innocent expression Ben have ever since. At that moment Ben tapped the face of the Omnitrix and changed back to normal. His face dropped at the thought of telling her what happened.

"Bubbles…some girl stole your painting."

"What!?" Bubbles shrieked.

"But we can get it back. I managed to get one of them." Ben said quickly and pointed to the unconscious robber.

Bubbles glared at the unconscious robber and growled. She marched all her way to the robber, which shook the ground itself. The ninja woke up due to the shaking and questioned dizzily, "Uh…where am I?"

The ninja was suddenly gripped by the neck and lifted to meet Bubbles angry eyes.

"Where's my paintings!?" The Powerpuff girl sneered.

"Oh uh what paintings?" The robber said dumbly.

Bubbles didn't say anything but rip his face mask off. She gasped when she saw the face.

"Chad Dickson!"

"Chad who?" Ben asked he came up behind her.

Bubbles let Ben see him, surprising the teen. He pointed at him accusingly, "You're that blond guy we met in the hallway and also with Mr. Boss."

"Yeah so?" The teen arrogantly said, "We knew you both are a couple of ponies, but we never knew one of you is a Powerpuff girl." His mouth then formed to an evil sly as he faced Bubbles, "Well I guess even one of the world's greatest heroes can be fooled."

"WHAT!?"

Bubbles began to get mad. Her face became full red as her eyes glowed blue. Since Chad had a very close look at Bubbles he clearly saw that he has pissed off the girl. Ben didn't have to know Chad was screwed.

"You really shouldn't have sad that." Ben shook his head with a regretful look on his face.

Last thing to be heard was Chad's scream.
