Hello my fellow readers, writers, and people who have been enjoying this story so far, I'm back with another new chapter. In this chapter we're going to be covering the events of Perplexahedron with some noticeable differences but instead of coming right out and saying them like the old me would have done I'm just going to have it so that you have to read what those differences are.

I've blabbed on long enough so without further ado let's get this show on the road.

"talking"

"Thought"

"Yelling"

The group was about to leave but after Ben transformed back into his human form the Ultimatrix started beeping. He turned the dial and on the faceplate and it stopped beeping and Gwen said "so what's the plan" and Ben said "I'm thinking" and Kevin said "we are in trouble." Gwen said "let's think about this we know that Aggregor has 3 of the four pieces of the map of infinity."

Ben replied "we know this" and Kevin said "it's true every time he got one we were right there getting our butts kicked" and Gwen said "I mean let's try to learn something from our losses to prevent it from happening." At this moment the Ultimatrix seemed to activated by itself and a hologram of the creator said "learn something I only expect to live another 3000 years I don't have time for you to learn something."

Natsu said "I didn't know the holograms on your watch could talk" and Gwen said "they can't this is actually call from the creator of the Omnitrix at first and then eventually this Ultimatrix." Natsu had a look on his face that said that was Gwen had said went right over his head and Erza decided to dumb it down for him.

"what she's saying is that this is the person who gave Ben the power to turn into different species" and Natsu said "well why didn't she just say so" and everyone with the exception of Natsu facepalmed. Ben said "Azmuth I have some bad news" and he said "yes you have let yet another piece of the map of infinity fall into Aggregor's hands your ineptitude-"

Kevin interrupted "harsh" and Azmuth continued "what is harsh is the consequences of your repeated failures. While you went about saving mere planets Aggregor is closer to going to the forge of creation-" this time it was Gwen who interrupted "which you still won't tell us anything about. Azmuth continued "it is beyond your comprehension all you need to know is that if he gets the last piece of the map it will be a disaster on the galactic scale."

While Azmuth was saying that Ben was fiddling around with the faceplate and muttered "I bet I could project you on the wall." During his fiddling the hologram phased out for a moment and as soon as it came back on Azmuth said "Tennyson pay attention this is important." Ben replied "no it's not your yelling at us telling us how stupid we are that's not helping us catch Aggregor so it's not important."

Azmuth seemingly enraged said "Ben Tennyson" and then seeming to have let it go "you are absolutely correct" and Kevin inquired "he is?" and Gwen stepped up and said "he is" and Ben said "if you want us to stop him tell us how to find him." Azmuth said "I know where he's going" and the hologram opened its hand and in it was a spinning square.

"the Perplexahedron a place of my own design to protect the final piece of the map from all those who are unworthy I'm teleporting you there now do not fail the universe this time Ben Tennyson" and Ben said "no pressure." A blue light went over the group of nine and after another flash of blue they were in the rustbucket 3 which was currently flying through space.

After each of the group had sat down in the chairs Gwen said while looking at a monitor "Azmuth just teleported to a different Galaxy." Natsu said "so where's the thing that we're supposed to protect" and Gwen said "the Perplexahedron I don't think finding it will be a problem" and the ship was engulfed in a shadow and after looking at another monitor Lisanna said "it's huge nothing like the thing in Azmuth's hand."

Kevin said "so how do you think we get inside" and Ben said while looking out the front window "maybe we should ask him" and he pointed to where Aggregor was. Kevin pushed a button on the console and after a moment a crap ton of missiles launched out of the ship toward Aggregor and after they made impact the smoke cleared quickly to reveal that Aggregor had protected himself with a force field of sorts.

Kevin said "I'm throwing everything we've got at him but he's out of range" and Ben said "try to keep on him if Azmuth is right this place should slow him down" and after a moment they were able to see the side that Aggregor was trying to get through was firing a red beam at him and Natsu said "I can hear what he's saying."

Erza said "well don't keep us in the dark what is he saying" and Natsu said "What he said was exactly you cannot deny me I hold 3 quarters of the map behold" and just as Natsu finished repeating what Aggregor had said his cheeks puffed out as motion sickness got to him and another smaller beam this time blue shot toward the unfinished map and apparently was scanning it and at the time where the red beam was coming from started opening.

Aggregor smirked before heading into the opening and as soon as he went through the opening started closing and Kevin was heading toward the opening and Erza said "we're never going to make it its closing too fast" and Kevin said "I hope you're wrong" and he sent the thrusters to max and got into the opening and just before it closed they crashed into the floor and was sent skidding across the floor a little bit."

Kevin said "any landing you can walk away from am I right" and right next to him Ben was looking like Natsu was and Gwen said "I think you should set the bar a little higher than that." After they all disembarked the ship Kevin was examining it and after a few moments he jumped down from the top and said "she'll still fly probably" and Mira said "that's reassuring" and Gwen said "shouldn't there be a welcoming committee for trespassers."

Lisanna said "is it possible that Aggregor took care of them already" and Gwen said "I don't know it seemed like this place practically let him in so he may not have needed too." Lucy said "so which way do you think he went" and Ben spoke up and said "I think this way It's the only hatch in the landing bay" and they walked toward the door and Grey said "how do we open it" and just as he finished the door opened up automatically.

"well that's nifty alright" and Lucy said "yep nothing like on earthland am I right" and Grey said "I'm sure they could come up with it if they were to use a lacrima." After walking through the door, they were in another room that was exactly the same as the one before and Ben said "we should split up into teams of three" and Kevin said "that sounds good" and Gwen said "are you sure maybe we should stay together."

Kevin responded "two to one majority rules" and Gwen said "okay then what are the teams" and Ben responded "I was thinking I go with Magister Heartfilia and Natsu, Kevin goes with Erza and Grey and you go with Lisanna and Mira" and Gwen said "okay but be sure to activate the tracking signal in your badge and set it to the rustbucket."

Kevin said "Already ahead of you" and he was holding out his badge" and they walked into the door on the left" Gwen's team walked into the door in front of them and Ben said "Well we should head through our door" and they walked into the door on the right.

(with ben's team)

After separating from the team, we see the group going in a different direction each doorway they go through until they come upon a room where all the doors were locked. After Ben and Lucy had tried to open all the doors in the room and Ben said "I think they're all locked" and Natsu said "let's see how they stand up against me."

Natsu ran at the door that Ben was trying to open while igniting his fist on fire and shouted "fire dragon's iron fist" and when he made contact with the door the cracks around it lit up. Natsu said "what do you think that means" and Lucy said "maybe you made the door mad" and just as she said that a laser blaster opened up from the section above the door."

Natsu said "what is that" and Lucy said "a Galvan protoblaster level 10 tech" and Ben said "how deadly is it" and he was blasted at but managed to dodge just in time. When the small smoke cleared the hole in the floor made it clear to him and he said "very deadly got it however if it's lasers then they call for chromastone" and he pressed down on the faceplate which showed a hologram of chromastone.

After a blinding flash of green light instead of the alien they had seen in legerdomain a being that seemed to be made of magnets pulled together and formed a being with an iron head floating between his shoulders. "lodestar if you're going to give me the wrong guy all the time why do you even have a dial" and the laser blasted his head."

Natsu said "Ben are you okay" and the head floated back to where it was before and he said "yeah but that laser blaster won't be soon" and he shot magnetic waves at it but they did nothing. He said "okay why didn't that work" and Lucy said "I forgot to mention the Galvans don't make them out of metal they make them out of extremely resistant plastic" and Lodestar said "you could have mentioned that when you saw I turned into a being made of metal."

Lucy said "I might have something that will work" and she pulled out her key ring out of the hidden pocket in the plumbers suit that she was wearing but the blaster shot them and her back against the wall." Natsu said "turn into something stronger and throw me at it" and Ben said "it would do the same to you" and Natsu said "just do it" and Ben said "okay" and pushed down on the dial and in his place, was a hulking four-armed alien with red skin."

He grabbed Natsu and threw him toward the laser blaster and Natsu said "fire on my left hand and fire on my right hand combine them together and get fire dragon slayer secret art crimson explosion fire dragon blade" and the attack managed to destroy the laser cannon before three more appeared." as Natsu landed Ben said "how many more of those do you have in you" and he said "maybe one why" he asked completely obvious to the three laser blasters that had appeared after he destroyed the first."

Ben said "look at the walls" and then he noticed and said "okay can you take care of them" and Ben said "maybe" and Natsu said "okay you destroy them and I'll protect Lucy" and she walked up to him and said "I don't need protection." Natsu said "you're okay but how are you after getting shot by the blaster" and she said "the blast only broke the plumber's suit I had on" and she pulled out her keys and after picking one she said "okay open gate of the lion Loke."

After a bit of flirting with her as Loke usually did she said "just take out two of the blasters" and Ben transformed into Chromastone and said "got the one I was hoping for this time" and he waited for his blaster to shoot him and when it did it actually managed to knock him back a few feet but he managed to absorb it all and he said "let's see how you like being blasted" and he shot his beam at the laser blaster destroying it."

Loke got in the middle of the other two and shouted Regulus blast" and shot a golden light out of both his hands destroying the remaining two blasters. Lucy said "that was great Loke you can go back now" and he did only to reappear behind her and said "I'm not going to leave you in this dangerous place with just those two as protectors" and Ben while trying to ignore the barely disguised insult he said "how did you get here without Lucy summoning you."

He said "since I'm the leader of the zodiac spirits I used my own power to pass through the gate so that I don't use up her magical energy staying in this plane of existence." Ben said "okay let's just get a move on before Aggregor gets the final piece of the map" and they walked forward through another door that opened up for them."

(with Kevin's team)

After separating from the group and going left in the opening Erza said "we need to go back to the ship" and Kevin said "why" and she said "Because if there is anything we will need something more protective then my armors since most of them are more revealing then I would like." Kevin said "not a problem grab onto my shoulder both of you" and they did so and he knelt down and touched the floor covering himself in the material that it was made of.

However, instead of it just covering him the material also covered Erza and Grey and they said "how is that possible" and he said "because of the fact that I'm an osmosian" and Erza in her scariest voice said "isn't that the race that Aggregor is a part of." Kevin said "it is however I've already figured out how not to go insane just don't absorb energy in fact it was a rule of my race.

However, the only reason that Aggregor is like he is now is because he thought those were lies told by the powerful to control the weak. The reason I did it when I was younger was because I had no idea that would do to me so don't group me together with Aggregor." Erza said "I am sorry for insinuating that you were the same as Aggregor if you wish you may hit me" and Kevin was about to do so until Grey whispered in his ear "if you do she'll hit you back harder" and he said "just forget about it" and started walking toward a door.

Instead of the door opening before he got there it wouldn't and put his hand on it and instead of gently touching him like he did to it the door grew a fist and punched him in the face knocking him back. After it did that the door morphed into a humanoid form and he said "I got this" and he morphed his fists into maces and ran forward at the door and dodged it and managed to hit it toward Erza and Grey.

Grey froze it and after that was done Erza sliced into it in half with one of her many swords and it was completely destroyed after that double attack. Kevin said "well that was easy" and Grey said "you got that right" and Erza cut into the conversation "almost too easy I think we should keep our guard up until we get out of the death trap."

(with Gwen's team)

We were walking through the doors that were opening for us and after a moment I said "so what do you two do for fun" and Mira replied "I really don't have time since I cover the bar at the guild hall but in my spare time I do occasionally like going shopping." Lisanna said "same here only we usually don't have the same days off so I usually go alone or if one of the others want to I go with them."

Gwen replied "I'm surprised you don't take the guys you like with you to carry all the bags that's what me and Julie do all the time." Lisanna said "I do take Natsu sometimes but I don't think he usually wants to since he's usually out on a job when I take my days off and there when I'm working." Mira said "I would say the same of Laxus if he usually lounged around the guild hall" and Lisanna said "we should force them to go with us next time" and Mira said "yes we should."

The three of them walked over to another door however they almost immediately regretted it since Aggregor was on the other side. He walked past the three and said "a few of Tennyson's lackey hardly worth the bother" and Mira said "you may want to rethink that" and she turned into her main devil form and Gwen ignited her hands in Mana and Lisanna turned into a cross between a flamingo and a vulture.

Aggregor kept walking forward only for lasers to pop out of the wall however before they shot at him he destroyed them with his laser eyes. He walked into another room in which the whole room was covered in snow and was freezing cold." Gwen surrounded his body in a mana enclosure while Mira and Lisanna shot down at him however that hardly worked.

He swatted Lisanna away and then did the same to Mira and walked right through the mana enclosure and after Gwen shot him with some mana blasts he turned around and said "you three amuse me less and less" and he pointed both his arms at them and shot water at Gwen and Mira and then turned one of his arms on Lisanna before spraying her as well. He then turned around and said "now I have a map to find while you three have problems of your own" and as he walked away they were encased in ice.

(with Kevin's group)

They three were stuck in a room where there was strange green substance coming out of raised platforms on the ground. Grey was about to go over to it to freeze it and Kevin said "don't that's stuff's acid" and Erza said "it's melting the floor which is what our armor is made of" and Grey said "do either of you have a plan" and Erza said "I might Requip."

When the light faded from around her she was dressed in a top that left very little to the imagination and the same thing for the bottom. She was also wearing leggings that were dark blue in color with a green fabric trailing behind her this however removed the armor that Kevin gave her. She said "Grab onto my arms" and the two did as she said and she flew up and they went through a door that was opened for them."

(with Ben's group)

The three had just walked into another trap room which was currently trying to drown them and Lucy said "do either of you have a plan" and Ben said "as long as the Ultimatrix works I do" and Lucy said "that's not good enough" and she pulled a key off her key chain. "open gate of the water bearer Aquarius" and a mermaid looking being appeared with the sound of a doorbell.

The spirit said "what do you need now" and Lucy said "there's a door that's locked at the bottom of this room and I need you to break it down." The mermaid said "you call me just to break down a door" and she dived under the water and then appeared behind Lucy and absorbed some of the water from the room into her urn and then shot it toward the door which caught the group in the same whirlwind.

They slammed against the door and shortly after being stuck against the door, the door eventually broke down and the water was slowly draining out into the room they were now in. Lucy shouted at the mermaid "you're not suppose to catch me and my friends in the attack" and the mermaid ignored her and said "well I got to go I've got a date with my boyfriend" and she disappeared and Lucy said "you don't need to rub it in."

Ben said "beside that let's just try to navigate this 3d maze" and they walked to another door and it opened to them to reveal Gwen, Mira, and Lisanna all frozen in blocks of ice. Natsu said "I wonder what happened here" and through another door Kevin, Erza, and Grey came in and Grey said "I was wondering if we would meet up again."

Natsu ran over to him and punched him in the face which knocked him against the wall" and Grey said "what the hell was that for ash breath." Natsu said "why did you freeze the three girls icicle stripper" and he said "what are you talking about." Natsu said "in case you haven't noticed Lisanna, Mira, and Gwen are ice statues" and he said "while it is thorough this isn't my work."

Ben said "okay let's just thaw them out" and he turned into a plant guy and shouted out "swampfire" and he placed his hands on either side of Gwen's head and ignited the palms and she started thawing out. Natsu went to do the same with Lisanna but Erza said "why don't you just leave this to Ben since he's got more self-control then you."

Natsu said "what do you think I would do" and Grey said "knowing you it wouldn't be long before you managed to break one of them into tiny pieces" and Natsu said "I dare you to say to my face stripper" and Grey repeated himself and Natsu punched him again which sent him flying up to the wall. He jumped down and punched Natsu again only for him to land near Lisanna.

Ben said "why don't you two stop fighting now and start trying to figure out how to navigate this maze" he said while he was thawing out Mira. After he got the three of them thawed out Gwen said "how did you find us" and Erza bluntly stated "it was a complete accident." Mira said "that's how we ran into Aggregor" and then Ben turned back into his human form.

Lisanna said "no matter what we do we can't stop him he's just too powerful" and Ben said "well if we get the final piece of the map is here then I think I've figured out a way to get to it." Natsu said "how did you do that" and Ben replied "the guards" and Grey said "what about them" and Ben replied "they only appear at apparently random intervals the rest of the time of door open for us."

Erza said "unless they need to be closed for the traps to work" and Ben said "that's what threw me at first but then I thought what does a death trap need with guards. The only appear when you're going where you're not suppose to" and Lisanna cut in "Towards the map" and Ben said "exactly so to get to the map we just ignore any doors that open for us and only to through the ones we have to fight our way through."

This time instead of splitting up the team were walking together and combining their strengths to get through the rooms and the guards that appeared out of nowhere. As they were taking a small break Gwen said "Seriously three fire rooms in a row" and Natsu said "I don't see what the problem was" and Lisanna gently reminded him "yeah but you're immune to fire" and Grey said "wait you could have just ate the fire couldn't have you Natsu."

He said "well if we're pointing fingers here they why didn't you freeze the flames like you're always threatening to do to me" and he said "because I figured you were going into the center of the room to eat all the flames." Erza having enough with their argument walked right up beside them and slammed their heads together with only enough strength to get their attention and to make them stop arguing.

She said "stop your arguing we have a mission here to do" and they walked away from each other and Gwen pointed to Ben and said "you have a deadly robot spider on you" and he swatted it off and smashed it by stepping on it and said "another one the spider room was like 10 rooms ago" and after another guard they walked into a room with a skinny green being wearing a crown was sitting on a throne.

Natsu said "so what can you do" and he said "I do not intend to fight you young man I am the sentinel, protector of the final piece of the map of infinity. Max Tennyson has spoken highly of all of you" and Gwen said "you know my grandfather" and the sentinel said "only through legend professor paradox spoke highly of him we have won" and Natsu said "who is professor paradox" and Kevin said "we'll explain later."

Ben said "who is we" and the sentinel said "those who stand against Aggregor" and he got up and handed his crown to Ben and it shortly turned into the final piece of the map of infinity. The sentinel walked back over to his throne and sat down on it as the place started coming down. Kevin said "what's going on here" and the sentinel said "this place has served its purpose" and Natsu said "come on old man" and he said "no I will be fine go."

Natsu got a worried look on his face and slowly followed the rest of the group" and they were heading in what appeared to be a random direction and Erza said "how do you know which way our ship is without using your badge" and Ben said "it's the piece of the map it's like it just knows" and Gwen said "my badge is confirming it."

While they were running ben randomly stopped and quite thankfully no one tripped over him and Kevin said "what's the hold up Tennyson" and Ben said "I don't care what he said "I'm going back for the sentinel." Natsu spoke up and said "now you're speaking my language" and Gwen threw her badge to Erza and said "get everyone to the ship safely" and the team of three took off back toward the sentinel. and Mira said "why did they take the piece of the map with them" and Lisanna said "I don't know"

(with Ben's team)

They walked in on Aggregor about to kill the sentinel with his eye beams and Ben spoke up and said "if you want it come and get it" while holding the map piece out. The sentinel said "no" and Aggregor kicked the sentinel away and said "give it to me" and Ben instead of giving it to him activated the Ultimatrix and turned into a yellow and white alien that was large in both size and what appeared to be weight.

He rolled up into a yellow shield that came from the armored plating that was on his back and started rolling toward Aggregor to knock him against the wall. However instead of that working out Aggregor just swatted him away and Natsu started charging toward him and shouted "fire dragon wing attack" and Aggregor seemingly unaffected this this attack as well just swatted Natsu away.

Without saying something quippy like he normally did Ben just turned the symbol on his chest a quarter of the way around and pushed down on it again and after another flash of green light he was now the same being only dark grey and white with protrusions coming out of his armored plating that was on his body.

He rolled at Aggregor again and this time the ball had spikes coming off of it and Aggregor was too slow in reacting as Ben managed to pin him against the wall while Natsu was punching him repeatedly. Gwen shouted out "I got the sentinel let's go" and Ben shouted out "I'm not letting Aggregor get away from me again" and kept him pinned to the wall.

Aggregor managed to get one of his arms free and grabbed Natsu who was throwing a punch and swung him like a bat at Ben was got knocked away and the map piece flew out of hands and landed in front of Aggregor." He said "yes finally the ultimate power is almost within my grasp" and he flew up through the walls of the place and out into space." Ben transformed back and was pretty pissed at this but he didn't say anything and Gwen ran over to them with the sentinel still in tow and used her powers to encase the now 4 people into a mana shield that was protecting them from the harsh environment of space.

Gwen said "We've only got a few minutes of air" and just as she said that the rustbucket 3 came over them and Kevin said "you need a lift" and he opened up the landing bay and Gwen guided the shield into the bay. After Gwen got the sentinel and everyone else followed into the cockpit of the rustbucket the sentinel said "no it was the map that you were supposed to protect not me."

Natsu said "lay off it old man we wouldn't leave anyone behind even if we just met them" and he said "the universe is in danger all hope is lost" and those were his last words before he faded out of existence. Ben stuttered "I d-didn't know" and Natsu said "hey you're not the only one to blame that Aggregor got the final map piece I was right there fighting alongside you."

Kevin then chimed in "well whoever is at fault here it's game over Aggregor has the whole map" and Ben said "it's not a game and it's not over. I made a promise to save those 5 aliens and using their powers I'm going to do exactly what I promised" and Gwen said "yeah while Aggregor may have the whole map it doesn't mean we're just going to sit around and let him use it."

Mira said "we'll stop Aggregor from obtaining this so called ultimate power" and Lisanna said "yeah when Fairy tail works together there's nothing they can't do" and Natsu shouted "oh yeah I'm all fired up now" and Ben said "you better watch your back Aggregor because we're all coming for you."

Yet another chapter done and Jesus this chapter took way longer then I had hoped it would to write. Anyway, in the next chapter we're going to be covering the events of the episode titled Forge of Creation. Also, I am going to put something in that will make the Fairy tail mages more relevant than they are right now because while I know it's covered somewhat in this chapter and defiantly the first chapter the Fairy tail mages as they are right now don't hold a canal to Aggregor.

I can't thing of anything else to add so until next time this is Diamondholder signing off.
