Chapter 4: Two Billion

There was a bank robbery that occurred in a small city, and the two thieves who committed the robbery were currently running away from both Ben Tennysons. One thief was a guy with a human head and a cockroach body. He has two yellow eyes with dark bags around them, a mole on his cheek, a slight tan, sharp teeth, black hair, and a mustache. There are three appendages on each side of his body. This was Maurice. The other was a tall human with a cockroach head. He has black eyes, antenna, maxillary palpi, and labial palpi. He wore an orange suit with black gloves and the black radiation sign on the left side of the chest. This was Sydney.

"Come on Sydney, you bug-eyed pest, load the money into the truck" Maurice said, "I had my hands full with one brat with the watch, now there are two of them and the new guy is more of a problem."

The two Bens had no problem pursuing the two lab failures of crooks.

"You can outrun us freakshows," Prime Ben said.

"But you can't outrun…" Reboot Ben said.

Both Bens finished by saying, "XLR8!" before slamming down on their Omnitrices.

Prime Ben turned into a bug/insect alien with four insect-like flat legs, two arms, whose hands are human-style ones with three clawed fingers, and a tail with a stinger. He has four pedunculated eyes. These eyes are linked directly to the sides of his huge head. His large wings are light green and very fragile with lines on them, and his skin is a light brown-greenish color. His clothes are green with black stripes and are spread only until his forehead. The Omnitrix symbol is on his forehead. This was Prime Ben's version of Stinkfly

Reboot Ben turned into an alien with a slender, humanoid body. His body is mostly blue, but his shoulders, armpits and ankles are light blue, while his chest, abdomen, neck and the lower part of his face are cyan. He has three blue fingers on each of his hands and three-toed dark cyan feet, with the third toe being on the back of his feet. He has greenish blue eyes. He has a light blue V stripe on his forehead, one coming from each eye, one on his nape and, one in each finger and two in his thighs. He has two orange wings with black edges and two dark cyan antennae. This was Reboot Ben's version of Stinkfly.

"Stinkfly!? That doesn't even sound like XLR8!" Prime Stinkfly said in frustration.

"Wait, that's your Stinkfly?" Reboot Stinkfly asked his Prime counterpart, "This is my Stinkfly."

"I'll ask why our Stinkflies look so different later, right now we have a truck to catch," Prime Stinkfly said.

With that, the two Stinkflies flew off to pursue the two bank robbers. They both shot slime at the truck (Prime Stinkfly shot from his eyes, while Reboot Stinkly shot from the ducts on his shoulders), to slow it down.

"You bugs wouldn't mind two other bugs bugging you, would you?" Reboot Stinkfly asked.

Reboot Stinkfly got on the back of the truck to get all the money bags out, while Prime Stinkfly was on the roof of the truck to try to get the Bug Brothers by surprise by sneaking into the shotgun. Prime Stinkfly was outside of Maurice's opened window and poked his head through it.

"Sydney, deal with the pest," Maurice ordered.

"Hey," Prime Stinkfly said.

Sydney muttered some nonsensical bug noises.

"I don't care if you are driving, just get rid of this butt-ugly bug. You know what multitasking is," Maurice complained.

"Who are you calling 'Butt-ugly', Butt-Ugly!?" Prime Stinkfly asked.

Suddenly Reboot Stinkfly was on Sydney's open window.

"Surprise," Reboot Stinkfly said as he blasted bad-smelling methane gas into the truck, while Prime Ben blasted slime into it.

"Ahhh! Gross! It's in my mouth!" Maurice said. Though you probably couldn't tell if he was tasting the methane, the slime, or both.

The truck drove out of control before crashing into a lamppost. Fortunately, both Stinkflies got out before the crash. The Bug Brothers weren't so lucky, they were okay, but they were covered in slime and smelled worse than they usually do. Rook arrived at the scene, armed with his Proto-Tool, and both hybrids got out their blasters. Prime Stinkfly hit his Omnitrix symbol and transformed.

Prime Ben turned into a humanoid alien whose upper-body and palms are covered with large, green eyes with dark green, although he has no eyes on his face, which consists of a mouth and a very large pair of bat-like ears. He has dark yellow skin with lighter yellow skin on his chest and feet. He wears green cuffs, and black pants with green stripes on them and a green belt with the Omnitrix symbol on it. This alien was Eye Guy.

"'Eye' suggest you give up," Eye Guy said.

"As if we will give up to you pathetic chumps," Maurice said.

"We warned you," Rook said.

Eye guy blasted a laser at them with the eyes on his shoulders and chest. The lasers destroyed their weapons. Rook netted them both. Stinkfly finished the job by blasting slime at them and hanging them upside down.

"This stinks for you guys," Stinkfly said, "Get it?"

"Dude, watch the puns," Eye Guy said, "Pretty soon you use up all the 'eye-conic' ones, and they just get 'cornea' and 'cornea'."

Stinkfly and Rook looked at Eye Guy with annoyed expressions.

Stinkfly said, "Yeah, I see your point."

The Bens turned back to normal and they returned the stolen money, while Maurice and Sydney were taken away by the police(who were wearing gas masks). The Bens went back to the Rust Bucket, which was behind the Proto-TRUK(which Rook went back to) and towing Kevin's car in a trailer. The two went in and saw Prime Gwen waiting and Reboot Gwen reading a purple and gold miniature book that Prime Ben recognized.

"Hey, I think I recognize that book that you're reading," Prime Ben said, "Isn't that my Gwen's spellbook?"

"Yeah," Reboot Gwen said, "My other self is trying to teach me magic!"

"Magic?" Reboot Ben asked, "Pull a rabbit out of your hat. No, do the card trick. No, saw someone in a box in half."

"Not that kind of magic," Prime Ben said.

"Yeah, it's more like projecting lightning bolts, teleportation, or telekinesis," Prime Gwen said, "Now have you read all the basics?"

Reboot Gwen nodded.

"Good, now let's start with a simple spell," Prime Gwen said before lifting her own hand up. "Contemptu omnium materia."

When she said the spell, the empty cup in front of her levitated to her will.

"Now you try," Prime Gwen said.

"Okay," Reboot Gwen read the book, and our her hand out, "Contemptu omnium materia."

When Reboot Gwen cast the spell, she started floating, before landing upside down on the ceiling.

"Maybe we should try something easier," Prime Gwen said before reversing the spell and catching her Reboot counterpart.

"So, Ben," Prime Ben said, "You got any place that sells smoothies?"

"Well, according to the GPS, there's a Mr. Smoothies place around the corner if you're interested," Max said.

"Totally," Prime Ben said.

"I guess we could go," Reboot Ben said.

"To Mr. Smoothies!" Prime Ben said, pointing at the windshield, with a determined heroic-looking pose.

Meanwhile…

The location is a large bedroom with red-violet walls, a white ceiling, and a reddish-brown wooden floor, with pillars on all four corners of the walls and an expensive-looking chandelier on the ceiling's center. There is a large, gold-painted, flat-screen TV on one side of the room, along with huge, gold-painted speakers, which are all hooked up to a DVR, a TV monitor, and a bunch of video game consoles. The floor has a gold-colored carpet that takes up most of the floor. There are three large windows on the wall on the left of the TV, with white curtains. On the other wall, there are large bookshelves filled with books, pictures, toys, and video games. Against the wall parallel to the TV is a huge, King-sized bed made of white wood with gold-colored curtains, a gold colored-mattress, red-violet pillows, and a red-violet blanket.

On the bed was a boy with brown eyes and black hair. He wears a red-violet tux and a pink bow tie, a tux with gold buttons at the end of his black sleeves, gold pockets, a white shirt under his tuxedo, a gold medal, and black shorts. This was Billy Billions of the Reboot universe.

Billy sighed in satisfaction, "A perfect day. My allowance is looking as splendid as ever, I had a nice spa day in my own room, I have a pile of comics to read. Nothing can ruin this."

However, Billy would find himself to be very wrong. His butler, wearing a fancy suit, brought him the bad news, fittingly in the form of a newspaper before leaving. Billy opened up the newspaper and the article shocked him. "Ben 10 and Ben Tennyson Save the Day!" The picture showed both Bens standing in a large town, in front of a trashed robot (from when both Bens faced Steam Smythe). The realization that there were now two Bens angered Billy and he ripped up the paper, threw it on the ground, and stomped on the pieces.

"Just great!" Billy said, "As if one of that pathetic, idiotic, good for nothing, little twerp wasn't enough! Now there's two of him! Ben Tenny-Sucker always has to ruin everything! I wish I had another version of myself so that I can pound them both to the ground."

Suddenly, in a flash of red light, someone else appeared on his unoccupied bed. He looked like a normal eleven-year-old human boy. He has a large forehead, and black hair which is styled like devil horns. He was wearing an outfit similar to Billy's. This was Billy Billions of the Prime universe.

"What the!? Where am I? And who are you?" Prime Billy asked, pointing towards his Reboot counterpart.

"Name's Billy Billions, what's it to you?" Reboot Billy rudely greeted.

"Don't play faker. I'm the real Billy Billions," Prime Billy said.

"Wait, you're not just another Billy, you're me from the other universe," Reboot Billy said, "I suppose you came here to help me defeat both Bens, right?"

Prime Billy was confused, until he noticed the ripped up paper and realized what he meant.

"Yes, I totally intended to come here on purpose to help you defeat both Ben Tennysons and I was transported here by means I absolutely know about," Prime Billy lied.

"So, what would you have to say about him? Because-" Reboot Billy said.

"I despise that loser with the fury of a thousand suns!" Both Billys said in unison.

"Did we just become besties?" Prime Billy asked.

"I think we did," Reboot Billy responded, "What do you say we get some ice cream, take a nice walk in the park, or… destroy both of those little watch-wearing stains?"

"Ooooh! I like that last one," Prime Billy said.

With that, both Billys laughed maniacally.

Meanwhile at Mr. Smoothies…

Both Bens, Reboot Gwen, and Rook were sitting at a four seat table. Rook was on a tablet, while Gwen was watching both Bens in a smoothie slurping contest.

"The Internet has far too much information. Who needs to know 30 ways to draw a perfect circle?" Rook asked.

"Someone drawing a lot of bubbles," Gwen responded.

Gwen couldn't tell who was going to get a brain freeze first. Needless to say, Prime Ben was better at it than he let on, because now both he and Gwen were cracking up while Reboot Ben held his head.

"Aaaaaah! There's frostbite in my brain!" Reboot Ben screamed.

"Hehe, I warned you dude!" Prime Ben said before taking another long slurp of his watermelon lime smoothie, "This is basically a pastime for me."

"You really should've known by the way he challenged you," Gwen laughed, "But you were so sure you could win."

"I thought my appetite would win out," Reboot Ben said, placing his face on the table, "But it didn't. I was deceived," Reboot Ben managed to make eye contact with Prime Ben and asked "Other me, how do you do it?"

"It's a skill bro," Prime Ben answered, "it takes serious practice."

"Hello there Benny," a voice greeted. The voice belonged to Reboot Billy Billions, who stepped out of his limousine.

"Oh great," Reboot Ben said, "if it isn't Bully Billions."

"Billy," Billy corrected.

"What do you want Billy," Gwen asked, not very happy to see him.

"I just wanted to stop by," Billy said, "Because last time I saw you, I didn't get my revenge yet, and I'm here for it."

"You and every other creep in the universe Billy," Reboot Ben said, "take a number."

"Sorry, I came for my revenge now," Billy said.

"Forget it Barney," Prime Ben said.

"Billy," Billy corrected.

"Don't care," Prime Ben said, "My point is, you're outmatched and outnumbered. You face, not one, but two heroes with two variants of one of the most powerful devices in the entire universe. And it's two against one."

"Count again," Billy said.

And with that, Prime Billy stepped out of the limousine door.

"Wait! What!?" Prime Ben asked in shock.

"Surprised to see me, Benny?" Prime Billy asked

"Wait, isn't that your Billy Billions?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Yes, indeed. The question is: How did he arrive in this dimension?" Rook said.

"That's for me to know, and for you to have as a mystery," Prime Billy said, despite not really knowing how he got into this dimension.

"Me and my alternate version have come to fight both of you," Reboot Billy said, "And we are determined to win."

"Yeah? You and what army Billys?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Only a one man army of a giant robot," Prime Billy answered.

With that, a giant robot landed behind the limousine. The robot was at least 10 stories tall. It had two pairs of arms, which had golden hands, cuffs, elbow, and upper arms, and red-violet forearms. It had two golden legs which had golden ankles, soles, and knees, and red-violet boots and shoes. It had a red-violet body with a golden chest and a golden stripe going down the middle, which ended at a golden belt. It's shoulder-guards were large and were red-violet with a golden outline. There were two cockpits where the robot's head should be. There was a golden Billy Billions symbol on the chest, which was a B with the dollar sign lines going through it.

The two Billys used their jet packs to fly into the cockpits. Reboot Billy flew into the front, bottom cockpit, while Prime Billy flew into the back, top cockpit. Everyone except the heroes ran away.

"We're going to need a bigger Omnitrix," Reboot Ben said.

"Or a big alien," Prime Ben said, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Definitely," Reboot Ben said.

"Humungousaur!" Both Bens shouted before slamming on their Omnitrices.

However, Reboot Ben turned into a silicon-based, crystalline humanoid. His body is composed of durable pale green crystals. He sports two crystal shards on his back and has yellow eyes and a sharp point on his head. He wears a sleeveless uniform which is black with a yellow "V" stripe on the middle of his torso. He wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest. This alien is Reboot Ben's Diamondhead

Meanwhile, Prime Ben turned into a muscular sasquatch-like alien. He has yellow and black fur, along with a grey face and grey fingers and toes. He has two metallic grey circular bolts on the sides of his wrists and where his ears should be. He has green eyes with black pupils and yellow lightning bolt-shaped horns. He wears a green and white belt where the Omnitrix symbol is located. This is Shocksquatch.

"Seriously?" Diamondhead asked.

"Yeah, why do these things even have dials if they're just gonna give you the wrong alien?" Shocksquatch asked in his Canadian accent, "By the way, this is Shocksquatch."

"It's time that we showed you just how puny you are compared to our brains and brawns," Reboot Billy said.

"Just try it," Diamondhead said, "you'll just lose like always and- uh oh."

Diamondhead was cut off when the robot fired a gigantic laser from it's hand at both heroes' feet. They managed to get out of the way just in time, and started running down the street, dodging lasers, and missiles. Shocksquatch climbed up a building and dodged the robot's enormous fist as it smashed the building and fired a few missiles. Shocksquatch managed to land on the robot's lower right arm and ran up it on all fours. He dodge the robot grabbing him with its upper left arm and jumped onto the right shoulder before jumping onto the cockpit. He electrified himself, attempting to fry the robot's controls. Meanwhile, on another building, Diamondhead was throwing crystal shards the size of tree trunks at the robot, much to both Billys' annoyances. Shocksquatch kept banging on Prime Billy's cockpit with his lightning enhanced fists.

"Come on Billy Brainless, fall down already," Shocksquatch said, before suddenly getting grabbed by the upper left arm.

"That's pathetic," Reboot Billy said, "Stop!"

Shocksquatch was thrown at Diamondhead before a laser was fired at both of them. Both heroes turned back to normal and managed to dodge the laser and hide in an alleyway to regroup.

"This is insane!" Reboot Ben said, "How are we going to beat those two?"

"We just need a different strategy," Prime Ben said.

As Prime Ben was thinking of a strategy, he got an idea.

"We'll just tell them a false plan," Prime Ben said.

"How's that going to work?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Just trust me dude," Prime Ben said.

Both Bens were now in front of the robot, which was previously trying to swat the Proto-TRUK in flight mode.

"About time both you losers showed up," Reboot Billy said.

"Now we will crush you," Prime Billy said.

"Alright Ben!" Prime Ben shouted, "Now, first we will attack my Billy Billions! Because he is smarter, stronger, and cooler!" Prime Ben then winked at Reboot Ben. The 'plan' earned an egocentric chuckle from Prime Billy.

"What are you saying? They aren't- Oh. I get it," Reboot Ben said, "That sounds like a terrible plan! My Billy is smarter! Plus he's way better than your Billy!"

"Please! My Billy is the best!" Prime Ben said.

"Yeah I am the best," Prime Billy said.

"What are you talking about?" Reboot Billy said, "I'm clearly the better one out of both of us."

"Not at all," Prime Billy said, "That honor goes to me. Me me me me me me me me!"

Prime Billy's cockpit was hit by the lower left arm.

"Hey!" Prime Billy said, "Let's see how you like it!"

Reboot Billy's cockpit was hit by the upper right arm.

While both Billys were fighting, both Bens fist bumped each other.

"Both our Billys' one common weakness," Prime Ben said.

"Over-inflated, planet-sized egos?" Reboot Ben answered.

"Yeah," Prime Ben said before grabbing Reboot Ben's Omnitrix and transforming him.

Reboot Ben turned into a technomorphic alien with a predominantly plum-coloured exterior with a violet torso and thighs. He had purple stripes that extend from his body, resembling circuitry, with the circle on the front of his head being his eye. The Omnitrix symbol was on his chest. This was Reboot Ben's Version of Upgrade.

"Now you take over the robot while I distract them," Prime Ben said.

"Got it," Upgrade said, "Both Billys won't know what hit them."

Prime Ben climbed up a building using the fire escape. He then got to the top and turned into XLR8.

"I know that this catchphrase belongs to someone else, but I'll say it anyway," XLR8 said as he put both his hands on the ground, looking like a runner about to run a marathon, "Gotta go fast."

And with that, XLR8 sped off to the giant robot. Both Billys were still arguing over who was better, until XLR8 landed between their cockpits.

"Hey Milly!" XLR8 said.

"That's a girl's name," Reboot Billy said.

"Whiny bratty cranky crybaby loser says 'what'," XLR8 said very quickly.

"What?" Both Billys asked.

"Too easy," XLR8 said before speeding all over the robot.

Both Billys tried to get XLR8, but were stopped by each other because they could no longer work together.

"Get out of my way Billy," Prime Billy said.

"You get out of my way," Reboot Billy responded.

"You!"

"You!"

No, you!"

XLR8 got off the robot and got a far distance away from it before charging at it, knocking it off balance in the process.

Prime Ben turned back to normal before slamming on his Omnitrix again and turning into a large, bulky, reddish-brown planet-like alien with rocky skin, a giant mouth with teeth that are also made of rocks, and a molten lava planet core at the center of his body. His feet are tan with three toes, and he has three fingers and one thumb on each hand. He wears black shorts with green stripes, a green belt with white stripes and the Omnitrix symbol on his forehead. This is Gravattack.

"You guys like gravitons? Because I'm going to give you a lot of them," Gravattack said before using his gravity powers to cause the robot to float in the air, like it was in space. The robot fired missiles at him, but Gravattack caused them to orbit him before throwing them back. He then increased the robot's weight so that it fell down and couldn't get up. Gravattack stopped holding them down when he noticed that the robot had a small plum-colored patch on it.

"That's it," Prime Billy said, "I'm taking matters into my own hands."

However when he used the controls, nothing happened.

"What's going on?" Prime Billy asked before the entire robot turned plum-colored with purple circuitry stripes. Upgrade's head came out of the control panel.

"Error! Sorry, you are a loser," Upgrade said, "And always will be, no matter what dimension you come from.

"Oh, crud," Prime Billy said.

Upgrade used the robot's lower hands to grab both squirming Billys and tie them up against a lamppost. He then sent the robot out into space, and put it in self-destruct mode.

"Score one for the Tennysons," Upgrade said, high-fiving Gravattack. Both Bens then returned to normal.

Both Billys were arrested and sent to prison. When they were in prison, and had each other as cell mates, Prime Billy disappeared in a flash of red light. Prime Billy found himself somewhere other than the prison.

"I'm out of jail?" Billy asked, "Oh yeah, I can now plot my revenge and destroy Ben Tennyson. And nothing's gonna stop me this time."

"FREEZE!" Yelled a voice.

Billy turned around to see that he was in Plumber headquarters cornered by plumber agents. Knowing that there was now way out, Billy put his hands up and was taken into their custody.

"Why does the universe hate me?" Billy asked.

Meanwhile in the Rustbucket…

"Today was… quite surprising," Rook said.

"Sure was, but we kicked Bully Billy butt," Reboot Ben said.

"You did get some help from Rook and I," Reboot Gwen said, "Kevin and the other me helped too. Contemptu omnium materia."

A plastic cup then levitated to Gwen's will.

"Hey, I finally got it!" Gwen exclaimed with pride before the cup fell, "I'm still counting that."

"There's one thing that bugs me," Prime Ben said, "My Billy couldn't have known that I would be here. Someone must've sent him here. But who?"

Meanwhile on the Chimerian Hammer…

"Those little brats you sent failed to defeat both Tennysons," Prime Vilgax said.

"I saw this outcome," Reboot Vilgax said grinning, "That's why I sent them as a test."

"A test?" Prime Vilgax asked.

"Yes, I assumed your Billy Billions would be like my Billy Billions. By that logic, I could guess that neither one of them could use a spear to kill a fish if it was in a small tank," Reboot Vilgax said, "I only brought him to this universe to watch both of them fail for my amusement. That and to monitor your Ben's aliens, and to test out our interdimensional teleporter. The results were better than I had hoped. We can now send anyone to your universe, or bring anyone to this one."

Prime Vilgax also started grinning. "Good," he said, "then perhaps I can use it to recruit an old ally of mine from my universe. And if what he told me was true, then he will in turn, recruit us two allies of his own. One from my universe, and one from yours."

Prime Vilgax used the machine to create a red portal, and a figure stepped out of it. The figure was an 11-year-old human with shaggy white hair, red eyes, pale skin, black eyebrows, and dark black marks around his eyes. He wears a red shirt with a black stripe and short sleeves, grey cargo pants with side pockets, and black and white sneakers with black stripes. He wore something that looked like a red, fingerless gauntlet that stopped at the wrist. It had the same symbol as the Omnitrix, except it was red instead of green, and had a silver rim that was connected to four small white tubes.

"Welcome to the team Albedo," Prime Vilgax said.
