At this point, Ben had been a superhero for a long, long time. Although he had been training, he couldn't deny the fact that he was actually only a human and that a human's abilities can only get you so far in the vast and wide universe.
Meanwhile...
A certain someone had gathered what appeared to be practically every single one of the Tennysons' enemies, it was Bob! He had this grand plan of getting every single villain the Tennysons had faced into one big team under his rule.
"Now listen up, we all have a common enemy. And his name is... Ben Tennyson."
"How do you expect us to take him out? Even a group of villains couldn't beat him!"
"Ben has always had his family and girlfriend by his side. We take them out, we'll have a good chance at taking out Ben himself. He may be strong, but he can't put up a good fight forever."
"Exactly! Nyahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
A Few Minutes Later...
Ben was coming back towards his house when he saw something on the ground. It was a letter. Curiously, he picked it up and opened it. It said "We have your friends, Tennyson. If you want to see them alive, come to the abandoned warehouse ALONE.". Ben was alarmed, then he quickly rushed towards the warehouse using XLR8.
FLASH!
FWOOSH!
Once Ben got to the abandoned warehouse, he looked around. After a while, he saw Gwen, Max and Catherine all chained up. Gwen had been placed with runes that prevented her from using her magic, and Catherine was being watched closely by none other than Satania herself. Just then...
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
"Bravo. As expected from the one and only Ben Tennyson."
Someone had said that from the shadows, it was Bob! Getting angrier, Ben tried dashing towards him. However...
FWOOSH!
BAM!
"Agh!"
CRASH!
He was stopped and swatted by Satania! "Ungh..." groaned Ben as he got back up again. After he got up, Bob turned the lights on. Ben saw that practically every single villain he had faced was here! "Wh-What the-?!" he thought as he started backing up. Then...
"Every time you defeated us Tennyson, it's always been with the help of your friends. But now, let's see how tough you are without them!"
"This is gonna be real fun!"
"I can't wait to beat him into a bloody pulp."
Gwen, Max and Catherine were worried, they weren't sure if Ben was going to get out of this alive. He wasn't facing just one or two villains this time, he was facing practically all of them! With this, Ben started trying to fight against all the villains. However, it proved to be too much for him. He was attacked from every side.
CRASH!
"Oomph!"
Ben couldn't handle it, even switching between different alien forms didn't help that much. "You just don't get it do you, Tennyson? The hero time is up!" another villain said, it was Dr. Viktor. He used his coils to try and electrocute Ben, Ben switched to Diamondhead and deflected the electricity using his arms.
FLASH! KZZT! KZZT!
BAM!
Gwen, Max and Catherine continued trying to break free, but they didn't have a chance. They were vulnerable right now. "Ugh, you morons!" said Satania, before letting her pitchfork go ablaze and throwing it towards Ben.
FWOOSH!
BAM!
"Agh!"
"You are a fragile crystal, ready to shatter." mocked Satania, then...
FLASH!
"Cannonbolt!"
Ben switched to Cannonbolt, before he curled into a big ball and started rolling towards Satania. Just then...
FLASH!
ROOOAAARRR!
BAM!
"AGH!"
CRASH!
"Humungoraptor!"
As Ben got close to Satania, Bob transformed into a new alien form before swatting Ben away with its tail. "Humungoraptor!" shouted Bob, before he put his fists up. Humungoraptor was a relatively new alien in the Antitrix. He was red with curved spikes on his back, he also looked like a tyrannosaurus rex and had gold biological armor. "Ungh..." groaned Ben as he got back up. Then, Bob switched to Quad Smack before saying "All that power inside that little trinket of yours and for what? Helping those pathetic people? Saving the crumbling universe? Face it, Ben. You'll never achieve your goal of world peace. You cannot save this world, this world is permanently broken. As for me, I will do what I do best. Lie, Destroy, Kill, Cheat and Survive!".
At this, Ben replied with "If people were allowed to do whatever they want, when they want and how they want it... this world wouldn't have lasted as long as it did. If we went by your standards, this world would've fallen into chaos and ruin a long time ago.".
"That's why being a hero is a scam. You try your best to keep this world running. And for what? For it to eventually crumble with time? Your efforts will not save the world forever, Ben. Soon, you'll be gone. And this whole world will crumble apart. You think you're the world's greatest superhero? Ha! Get real! Even with the Omnitrix, there will always be heroes greater than you. Soon, this world will fall apart even with you and the superheroes' help! And when that happens, the only ones who'll be able to survive are people like me!"
Ben thought about what Bob said. Then, he replied "You have some points. But I will not let your evil ways ruin the world! Until then, I'll put a stop to you and the other villains' plans as much as I can! If possible, I'll end them now!". "You will perish for your foolishness." Bob added, before he switched to another alien.
FLASH!
"Dark Matter!"
Bob switched to an alien he called "Dark Matter", he then started throwing red energy blasts towards Ben. However, Ben switched to Ghostfreak before going intangible and invisible. "Wh-Where'd he go?!" one of the villains asked, then...
SLASH!
SLASH!
SLASH!
Ben had freed Gwen, Max and Catherine. Now that they were free, they could help him. Ben destroyed the runes that were inhibiting Gwen's magic. "Get 'em!" yelled Gwen, before she, Ben, Max and Catherine got into action. "RAAAHHH!" Bob roared in anger, before he and the other villains tried to take down Ben, his family and his girlfriend. However...
BAM!
SMASH!
BOOM!
SMASH!
BAM!
THUMP!
"Oomph!"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
FLASH!
With their combined efforts, Ben, Catherine, Gwen and Max managed to take down every single villain in the area. After that, Max pointed something at them. It was a "Null Void Projector". The Null Void Projector is a gun that could send anything to the Null Void, a dangerous dimension with scary creatures and unwelcoming surroundings. Max pulled the trigger, before...
FLASH!
"AAAHHH!"
Bob and all of the other villains started to get sucked into the portal that led towards the Null Void. When Bob was getting closer and closer, he switched to another alien.
FLASH!
"Bootleg!"
Bootleg was Bob's version of Upgrade. Once he got super close to the projector, he covered it in himself trying to downgrade and destroy it as much as he could before he could get sucked in. Bob didn't get to downgrade and destroy the projector from the inside for too long, before he finally got sucked into the Null Void. "This isn't over..." he said as he was sucked in, then...
PLOP!
"Get outta here! Now!"
FLASH!
BOOM!
The Null Void Projector malfunctioned, before it finally exploded. It took the whole building with it. "Guess it's bye bye to that building." said Ben, he and the others managed to get out and get to a safe distance just in time.
A Few Hours Later...
"I'm glad all of you are okay."
"Yeah, thanks for saving us cuz."
"You really are a hero."
"We're proud of ya, kiddo."
After everyone thanked and showed gratitude to Ben, Ben looked outside the window. He wondered what was out there. There were lots of dangerous things outside. But until then, he could enjoy the rest of the villain-free day. After Max sent practically every villain into the Null Void, Bellwood became a much, much safer place. There were still a few villains around town, but they weren't enough to cause some serious damage. Everyone was grateful of the Tennysons' and Catherine's efforts, and they started seeing them for the heroes they really were. Cross and the police stopped trying to bust them, and the other authorities started trusting them more. I guess something good came out of this battle after all besides most of Bellwood's villains being sent to the Null Void.
