Hey everyone, Ninjamon1228 with a status update here.

I'm doing this to explain a few things as well as answer some questions and to make some announcements.

Now first off, the big one. Why did I make Clyde Kevin 11? I'm sure some of you, cough cough Danman22ful, think it would make more sense for Lynn Jr to be Kevin 11. Well…it really wouldn't.

Kevin, and by extension Clydes, powers are from being half-osmosian. And Osmosian genes aren't like Anodite genes where they can lay dormmate and not do anything for the one who has them, Osmosian genes are always present and give the one who has them the power of an Osmosian. If Lynn was part Osmosian, so would the rest of the Loud kids and even one of their parents.

And before anyone says I could have done things differently like make the powers an X-Men-like mutation or something else, I didn't want to do that. I know this is fanfiction meaning I can do what I want, but it feels disrespectful to the original Ben 10 writers to re-write or write over that. I wanna keep some of the original ideas present and Osmosian heritage is one of them.

Another reason is that Clyde is confirmed to be adoptive, and we know nothing of his birth parents. It's honestly the perfect opportunity to write some awesome back story stuff and character development for Clyde and even Lincoln. Much more so then if Lynn or anyone else was in that role.

And the last reason, well this one goes back to what I said earlier. This MY story, and I'm free to write it my way. All of what you seen is either my ideas or ideas my awesome friends came up with such as Qazse, Petrus, YellowPikmin and Gundamvid who was actually the one who gave me the idea for making Clyde Kevin in the first place.

So, if you're upset with the decision, or disappointed…then all I can say is I'm sorry. It's my story, I like what I'm doing with it, and I'm gonna keep that way. If your not ok with that, then you can simply just not read this story.

Now to answer some questions/concerns some of you have.

To a guest asking why I'm making Wendy look older…I'm not. She's just really tall, about as tall as Luna. I name two conditions in real life where that actually happens in Wendy's debut chapter. Plus theirs a reason for her abnormal height and it's actually going to be explained next chapter so stay tuned.

For all you people asking about Rath, I will say he will Debut in season 3.

Also about the Big Chill episode where you Ben 10 fans know what happens, that will also appear in season 3.

To those asking if I'll do the movies…

Secrets of the Omnitrix – Yes

Race against time – No

Destroy all Aliens – Maybe

Alien Swarm – Yes

Also a bit of an announcement. I've been discussing this idea with a few of my friends lately and I'm ready to tell everyone else about it. Once season 2 ends, I will be making a separate story home to Loud 10 one shots. These are non-canon short stories related to this story. They are simply for fun and aren't connected to the main story. As such chapters may show Lincoln with aliens and abilites he won't get for a long time. I already have a few ideas for it, some of them from other people such as a one shot by Harriet546. And if you guys have any ideas for One shots I would love to hear them, under a few condition.

They make sense, meaning they aren't just a bunch of random nonsense.

You have a name. Doesn't have to be an account, just a name so I can give proper credit.

That's about it.

Just a hint to what the first entry of that one-shot series is going to be. It's about a certain white-haired Omnitrix user handing a certain ring wielder his emerald green ass.

And one last thing before I end it here. Since Clyde's being brought into the story…who should I pair him with? Theirs two popular Clyde ships in the fandom and I'm gonna let you decide who I should pair him up with, with a poll on my profile page. The choices are either Clynn (Clyde x Lynn Jr) or Clyku (Clyde x Haiku.)

Well that's all I wanted to say. The Season 2 finale is currently a work in progress, and I hope you all look forward to when I finish and release it.
