Hello my fellow readers, writers, and people who have been enjoying this story so far, I'm back with yet another new chapter. In this chapter we're going to be going over the events of the Ben 10 Ultimate alien episode titled the enemy of my frenemy. I don't know how much of this episode is going to change in this chapter with the Fairy tail element in it but I guess we'll see.
Anyway with nothing else to add let's get this show on the road.

Gwen's P.O.V
I was breaking into Hex's magical library which at this point had become second nature to me since I had already done it so many times. as I got up to the main window using mana stairs and avoiding the stone golems I did as I normally do which was project a bit of mana to break the defensive spell that was always around the window.
After breaking the spell and stepping into the library I put the last book I took back before grabbing another one and I opened it. However, that seemed to be a mistake since a bluish see through sphere appeared around me which also caused me to drop the book out of shock. Then Hex's voice appeared "at long last I've caught the little book work that's been stealing from my library
I tried firing my way out of the sphere with a mana blast however that only caused it to rebound back at me and the sphere to start shrinking. Hex then said "it won't work Gwendolyn the energy from your spells only makes the sphere more powerful" and he came down from apparently the roof in another sphere and landed surprisingly gracefully on the ground and the sphere he was in dispersed.
"what I'm saying is you're about to face a final crushing defeat" and the staff he was holding opened the mouth on the end of it and it glowed with red energy. In panic I said "what it's about Charmcaster" and Hex jumped to the wrong conclusion "what have you done with her." I said "I'm trying to help her she took us to legerdemain we came back after we defeated Aggregor but she stayed behind to fight Addwaitya.
As soon as he heard that the mouth of the staff closed after the red energy in it died down and the sphere disappeared and he said "she went back to legerdemain she's still there." I said "she said she want to avenge her father and free her people I promised I'd find a way to get back there and help her that's why I needed your books." He turned his back on me and said "don't bother if's still in legerdemain then my niece is already dead."
I said "you don't understand Aggregor stole the alpha rune Addwaitya was practically powerless" and he said "the book" and created another sphere that enclosed the book in it and the sphere placed it in my hands and he said "open it." I did so and a glowing magenta line with various symbols appeared and I said "what's happening" and he said "the true name of legerdemain has been changed and it changes again every few seconds."
I said "but without the true name there's no way to travel there" and Hex said "a spell like that would require unbelievable power after you defeated Aggregor Addwaitya must have regained the alpha rune." I responded "then come with us if we combine our powers we could defeat him" and he said "my brother gave his life so his daughter and I could escape that accursed dimension I love my niece dearly but I'm not about to go on a suicide mission.
Take the book take whatever you want just leave me at peace" and I put the book in my satchel along with a few others for recreational reading and headed back to the plumber base.
Mira's P.O.V
After Gwen told us what happened and what she learned she said that she wanted to go back and help save Charmcaster. At this point Natsu started laughing and after a moment he stopped realizing that none of us were laughing along with him and he said "you're serious aren't you." She responded "yeah I am I promised I would go back and help her" and Grey said "just so we're on the same page you want to go to legerdemain and help the person that's always been trying to kill you.
I don't know about you but if someone were constantly trying to kill me I defiantly wouldn't do them any favor just ask any of the dark guilds that we've trashed." She said "Addwaitya's an evil oppressive dictator don't we have a moral obligation to help fight him" and while most of us said yes Kevin said no and decided to lay on one of the couches in the room and said "well you guys tell me how it turns out okay."
Lisanna then pulled a light pen out of her pocket and wrote water above him and it materialized and landed on him which got him up from his about to sleep position and he said in a dejected voice "I'll go fire up the rustbucket." As he walked off and we were following him I said "how did you do that" and Lisanna said "I got Levy to teach me a little bit about how to use solid script."
As we got to the door to anywhere Gwen pulled out a laptop and was floating in the air along with the book that she grabbed and was typing frantically on the keyboard of the laptop. Ben said "so what's with the computer are you pirating spells on the internet" and she said "I've written a spell that uses a predictive decryption algorithm that figures out the true name of legerdemain before it changes if I can sync it up right."
Natsu said "so your acting as a magic hacker now" and looked back at Grey and said "is my girlfriend cool or what" and Gwen said "I think it's working here goes" and surrounded her hand in mana and said "ynappis" and after a beeping from the computer she said "darn" and then "Nekoboh" and after a nope she said "Nekwaheew."
After a bit of rumbling that felt like an earthquake the candles that Gwen had in a triangle pattern went out and Ben said "that's the one" and I said "what gave it away." The name appeared above the door and it opened and Gwen said "quick before it closes" and Kevin said "I'm so going to regret this" and Lisanna just pulled him along before he started running toward the door.
Ben and I went in first which appeared to have been a mistake since everyone else ended up on top of us with the exception of Gwen who used mana platforms. As I was trying to get everyone off of us along with Ben I heard Natsu and Grey arguing again "Get off me snowman" and Grey responded "you say that as if I wanted to be on you flame for brains."
I said "would you two just stop arguing and get off of us" and they stopped when I assumed Erza slammed their heads together which caused them to fall off of us." Ben looked at Kevin and said "not one of your better entrances" and Gwen landed right next to us as we were getting us. Ben said "it looks a little different than last time and I said "it's a dimension made of magic so it stands to reason that things would change quickly."
Lucy said "some things haven't changed" and those flying stone bats with a single eye appeared and Gwen fired a beam at them and Natsu said "ease up a bit most of our powers are supercharged here which means it's time to make those bat things toasty" and he ignited his hands. Instead of letting him charge into a battle where we would have to bail him out Gwen just put up a shield which deflected the beams of energy from the bats.
Ben said "could you tie us together so we don't get separated magically I mean" and she said "yeah" and she did so with a loop of her mana around each of our waists and after a moment Ben transformed into Fasttrack and after calling out his name he said "hold on this is going to be a bumpy ride" and I said "what are you planning on doing" and he just took of running with us trailing behind him.
While Ben wasn't normally considered a vehicle in his alien forms Natsu's motion sickness started acting up from the sheer speed of Fasttrack. As we were running since Kevin was at the very end and those stone bats were catching up to us he did some actual quick thinking and turned his hand into a stone slab and slammed it into one of the bat creatures sending it flying back at it's friends.
Ben then jumped over this large rock formation and ran over it and off the edge and grabbed onto it so that the stone bats would leave us alone. He seemed to have just thought over his plan since he started to lose his grip since one of his hands was only gripping lose rocks now. Since I was in the middle of magical 'rope' I said "I'm going to see if I can swing us over to this cave here" and Ben said "whatever you do, do it fast."
I did so and just as I was about to land on my feet, I was grabbed by a stone golem and pulled into the cave which since we were tied together the rest of the team were pulled into the cave as well." Ben said "out of the frying pan" and I finished "and into the lava" and the stone golem instead of attacking us said "shield your eyes" and its hand glowed with white energy and we did so.
It performed a spell "Gir igi-nu" and that sent a beam of light out of the cave and must have blinded those stone bats since they flew away from the cave entrance." The stone golem said "they won't be back for a while at any rate" and Lisanna said "thank you" and Ben transformed back while Natsu was rash as usual "I didn't know rock monsters could talk."
Erza slapped him upside the head and said "I am honestly surprised too and that you speak in English" and Natsu then said "then why did you hit me." She slammed her fist down onto his head and said "Because you voiced your surprise which was insensitive." The stone golem seemed unsurprised by this and said "I speak many languages I am Ignaceous the scribe at least I was a scribe long ago.
We should keep moving" and as we started walking Gwen said "you're people were enslaved by Addwaitya" and Ignaceous said "Addwaitya enslaved everyone everything only a few of us dared fight back." Gwen said "we're looking for a friend of ours she was fighting Addwaitya too" and he said "I'm sorry but as far as I know I am the last of the freedom fighters.
The rest were captured or slain during the chaos" and Grey echoed "the chaos" and Ignaceous said "a few months ago Addwaitya simply disappeared" and Kevin said "probably after Aggregor took the ruin." I said "with Addwaitya gone everyone was free though weren't they" and Ignaceous said "indeed free to pursue the throne themselves.
The rebels became despots each fighting for control I wanted no part of the bloodshed" and Gwen used her tracking powers and said "but Addwaitya's not gone I can sense him I recognize his aura from before." After thinking for a moment Ignaceous said "I suspected as much I've seen signs Addwaitya's returned no doubt more powerful than ever.
If your friend still lives, she is Addwaitya's slave" and Ben said "so it's back to plan a we go kick some turtle but and rescue Charmcaster" and he turned to ignaceous. "you can take us to his castle right" and he said "Addwaitya's citadel lies in ruins he must have a new stronghold but where I cannot say" and Gwen said "that's okay I should be able to track him by his aura."
Kevin said "then let's get moving this dimension's creeping me out" and Lisanna said "Ignaceous I can't ask you to fight but we're not from around here we could use a guide." He said "very well I will accompany you to Addwaitya's stronghold but after that I make no promises" and we started following Gwen.
After a while Ben said "are you sure we're going the right way there's hardly any room for a porta-potty much less a castle." Gwen said "he's close I can feel it" and we continued until we came upon a shocking sight, Addwaitya held up in the air as if he were a prisoner. He was groaning in pain as some stone were stealing his magic from him and Grey said "I don't know who's in charge here but it's not this guy."
Ben said "what's happening to him" and Gwen said "that stone is stealing his mana" and was about to pick it up. Ignaceous said "don't that stone is transmitting his power to whoever imprisoned him if you disturb the flow, they will know we are here." Gwen said "we can't just leave him like this" and Ben said "and since that stone is transmitting power to whoever we're here to fight shouldn't we stop it."
Natsu said "fine" and walked forward, grabbed the stone, and chucked it off the edge of the cliff we were on and said "problem solved." Gwen walked up to the giant stone circle and said "liberatio" and Addwaitya fell to the ground and Ignaceous said "We should not release him Addwaitya is dangerous at least place a binding spell on him so he cannot use his powers."
Gwen said "alright" and recited the spell "necte artes magicas" and mana cuffs appeared around his wrists." I walked up to him and said "Addwaitya who did to you" and he said "the usurper took my power, took my throne, took my world." Ben then walked up and said "Addwaitya this thief who stole your powers you know where to find them right.
Take us to him and we'll help you take him down" and Addwaitya who seemed crazier by the minutes said "down take the usurper down, punish the thief vengeance come" and he ran off. Ignaceous said "this is a terrible idea" and Kevin said "I've got to go with iggy on this one" and Ben said "how else are we suppose to find the bad guy."
Erza said "well this is the only way now but if some pink-haired pyromaniac didn't throw that stone over the edge of this cliff we would have been able to track them with that stone." We came to what appeared to be a waterfall that the source was floating above us and Gwen said "it feels like we've been walking for miles" and then looked at Ignaceous "that is water right" and he said "yes."
We all decided to take a little water break and Kevin said "dude teaming up with evil guys never ends well" and Ben said "what about you" and Kevin said "what about me I'm not evil I had a rough childhood." Ben said "what about Dr. Animo" and Kevin said "tried to kill us" and Ben said "Darkstar" and Kevin said "betrayed us and then tried to kill us."
Ben kept listing off different people that have tried to kill us before when what appeared to be suddenly a giant water monster appeared and grabbed most of us. After swinging us around for a bit Kevin said "seriously I think I'm going to hurl" and Ben who had avoided being grabbed, dodged some of the water tentacles and transformed into a form that I hadn't seen before.
He then grabbed a rock and held it above his head and ate it before shooting a beam of green light from this fin on his head which when through the water monster but destroyed the rock it was being formed from. Kevin said "I did not see that coming" and Gwen then noticed that Ignaceous was knocked apart. As she ran over to him with us following, he said "do not worry my friends.
We are a durable race my wounds will heal in a few hours" and Natsu said "but we don't have a few hours" and Gwen said "Natsu" in an angry sort of way." Ignaceous said "no he is right you must follow addwaitya, defeat him and the usurper and free this land once and for all." After a little while longer walking we came to a rock wall and we started climbing up it which was easier then it seemed like it would be.
Gwen said "I think Addwaitya is just beyond this ridge but there's also mana a lot of it and something I don't quite recognize." I said "let's just spy on this for now" and we looked over the rock formation that was in front of us and saw this giant machine that seemed to be operated by the man power of more of those stone golems.
Addwaitya then appeared and said "usurper of my throne thief of magic come out and face the mighty Addwaitya." One of the things that Addwaitya was using as guard dogs when he was in power walked forward and riding it was Charmcaster. She said "okay who let the old windbag lose" and I had a feeling we were all shocked by this since she was wearing the alpha rune which if I remembered correctly gave her control over this world.
Addwaitya was still under the delusion that he was all powerful and said "insolent fool taste now the wrath of Addwaitya" and he started a spell "animo arenam ut haben vindic" only to be cut off as he was lifted into the air by Charmcaster. She said "I was going to milk your power for a little while longer but since you're being such a jerk about it."
She then closed her fist which caused Addwaitya to jerk around for a moment before this magenta energy came out of him and flew toward the machine which left him dead on the ground. Ben said "did she just" and I said "yeah I'm pretty sure she did." Charmcaster then said "you might as well come out where I can see you even Ben Tennyson, his ridiculous cousin, their thuggish sidekick, and their group of idiot savants can't stop me from draining the life force of every living thing in this dimension."
We all stood up and Gwen said "why are you doing this" and she said "oh Gwenny I thought you understood it's the same reason I've done everything I want my father back." Kevin being as blunt as he normally is said "your father is dead" and Charmcaster said "for the moment but my sorcerer's engine will soon change all of that."
Gwen said "but that's it's the darkest of dark magic it's forbidden" and I said "just like on earthland where the R-system is forbidden." Charmcaster said "as I've always said rules were made to be broken and now that little miss made of magic has arrived it's time to do some breaking." She shot this beam of energy at us which threw most of us back except Gwen who had only managed to stay standing due to her shield."
Gwen said "I'll handle her you guys figure out how to stop that machine" and Natsu said "oh yeah I'm all fired up" and he just jumped off the cliff and after landing started running toward the machine. As Ben and the rest of us got there he was already knocking the golems aside and he called out the name of his attack "fire dragon's roar" only for it to have no effect.
He said okay let's try this fire dragon's wing attack" and that only broke the machine a little bit" and Ben transformed into the same alien as when he defeated that water monster thing. He then knocked a golem aside with the fin and then used another as a springboard to get up onto the machine. I landed beside him in my base Satan soul form and he started ripping the metal off of the machine and started eating it.
Kevin said "Tennyson I could use some metal here" and he ripped another piece off and hit the guard dog thing in the head with it which caused it to be knocked down. Kevin then absorbed it and started attacking the guard dog which seemed to have gotten up again while Ben said "wow my eyes are bigger than my stomach I need a plan b."
He then transformed into Chromastone and flew up to the top of the machine with me following behind him and we landed on the edge of the top. I said "don't tell me your going to do what I think you're going to do" and he said "it has to be done" and he stepped into the beam of pure mana and after a few grunts said "harder than I thought" and he slapped the dial on his chest and was in the middle of transforming into Ultimate chromastone when his body was disintegrated from the pure mana.
It appeared that the beam only managed to disintegrate chromastone since Ben's body was still whole but he was falling to the ground. Just before he managed to hit the ground, I caught him but he was enclosed in a magenta glow and after a moment the same thing happened to him as what happened to Addwaitya."
Charmcaster took advantage of Gwen's shock that Ben had just died and shot a beam at her only for Kevin to take it and then the same thing to happen to him. Charmcaster then shot beams of mana at each of us from her whole body and every time the beams hit the same thing happened first to Natsu, then Grey, then Lucy, then Erza, then Lisanna, and then one of the beams hit me.
Charmcaster's P.O.V
As I killed all her friends that came with her Gwen had turned into her anodite form and I said "just what I've been waiting for" and I activated the alpha rune which absorbed all her power and then killed her. I said "now If you'll excuse me I've got a very important call to make" and I recited the summoning spell after holding the alpha rune above my head.
After a moment a rift opened in the sky and I put the alpha rune back on and a deep voice said "who has summoned me" and I said "I have called you old one I ask that my father be restored to life." The voice said "and what do you offer in return" and I said "600,000 souls the life force of every living thing in this dimension" and the voice said "the bargain is made are you prepared to make payment."
I then recited the spell which killed off the remaining guard dogs and my stone golems and after a light show a soul was formed and landed on the ground. As I ran into his arms he said "hope is it really you you've grown" and I said "oh daddy I've missed you so much." He said "but I don't understand how is this possible" and I said "I did it daddy I studied for years and I found the secret spells and talismans.
I sacrificed every living thing in legerdemain all for you" and he said "you did what" and I said "I had to daddy it was the only way." He said "I gave my life so you could be free of all this how could you even conceive of something so evil." I said "but I did it for you" and he said "I thought that if I just get you away from legerdemain you might have a chance at a normal life.
Instead you became a worse tyrant then Addwaitya ever was" and at this moment all I could say was "daddy no" and he said "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me Hope but I can't stay here knowing my life was bought at the cost of so many others. Goodbye my daughter I love you" and he disappeared back into the rift that his soul had come out of.
The voice from the sky said "if the bargain is refused then the payment must be returned such is the way of magic" and the souls that I had worked so hard to gather returned to the bodies they had come from.
Mira's P.O.V
After getting up again I said "what just happened were we killed" and Ben said "yeah I think so" and Natsu shot up from the ground and said "okay let me at her." He was however restrained by Erza and Grey and Grey said "chill out man" and he said "no I need to pay her back double for killing me" and then I pointed at her kneeling form.
I then whispered in his ear "could you really deal with knocking her out when she's already given up" and he stopped struggling and muttered "no I guess not." Lisanna walked up to her and said "what are you going to do now" and she said in a low voice "I don't know I just don't know." As we were flying back to the plumber's base after leaving legerdemain Ben said "coming back from the dead really builds up a thirst.
Whose up for a smoothie" and when no one responded "he said "really nobody" and I said "now's really not the right time for a smoothie." Gwen said "I can't imagine what Charmcaster's going through" Natsu said "hard to feel sympathy for someone who though so little for people's lives" and Gwen said "but she spent her whole life going after one thing and now that thing is gone and she's just empty.
How do you fill that void" and Natsu actually said something smart for once "it's not easy and you can never really fill the void completely but if you make enough friends then you can begin to fill it."
Yet another chapter done in the next chapter we'll be going over the events of the Ben 10 ultimate alien episode titled couple's retreat. Anyway, in my personal opinion this is one of the most heartwrenching episodes of the whole Ben 10 series mainly because of the ending there. Anyway I don't have anything else to say so until next time this is Diamondholder signing off.
