Chapter 1+2 (exceptional)

It had been five years since the incident with Diagon, Vilgax, Sir George, and the war between the Forever Knights and the Esoterica. At the time, Ben had proven his development into a proper young a.d.u.l.t. As a sign of approval, Azmuth had gifted Ben with a brand new Omnitrix. The Ultimatix was, in Azmuth's word's, "an inferior copy." Instead of a gauntlet, the new Omnitrix was back to a wristwatch. Its faceplate was now square instead of round and had a white and green color scheme. The faceplate was black with two green stripes forming an outline for the hourglass of the intergalactic peace symbol. When the faceplate slid back, the Omnitrix revealed the core. Ben was ecstatic that Azmuth trusted him with the final product. This was a new dawn in his hero career.

Five years have passed since that day. Ben continued to fulfill all of his social roles as a family member, friend, and boyfriend. The cousins graduated from their respective high schools thanks to a mutual understanding of the duo's responsibilities. Max made sure that Ben and Gwen were only brought in only when necessary, and both of their parents made sure that they were not skipping out on schoolwork. The parents knew they were heroes, but they didn't want them to be high school dropouts. Gwen graduated with honors, and Ben graduated within the top twenty. Soon after, they went to different colleges. Ben wanted to continue hero work, but he promised his parents that he would make it into his full career after graduating from college. He attended a local university to at least get his Criminal Justice degree. Gwen, on the other hand, fulfilled her childhood goal of attending an Ivy League school. Friedkin University was where Gwen studies the mystic arts. It was located east of Bellwood, and it was the best Ivy League college among all the colleges around Bellwood. Given the fact that Ben 10,000 was able to perform some magic, Ben had asked Gwen to help him in that area.

Ben had also spent the last five years doing some part-time Plumber work with his new partner Rook during breaks. After many exciting adventures, he unlocked new aliens and sharpened his combat and mental skills at the Plumber Academy. In honor of Ben's eighteenth birthday, Azmuth gave a software update to his Omnitrix. This added new features and improved old ones. Initially, Azmuth believed that the evolutionary function that Albedo previously developed was asking for trouble. Then again, he made a sword and a watch that could allow a being to conquer galaxies. In the end, it all comes down to how power was used and how stable the power is. Azmuth was well-regarded as the smartest being in the universe. He was often referred to by his Galvan peers as the "First Thinker." Along with his intelligence, Azmuth was gifted with years of experience and knowledge. It was evident that if anyone could improve the evolutionary function, it would be Azmuth, and he did.

One of the initial problems of the evolutionary function was the lack of safeguards in the evolutionary process. Previously, the ultimate forms in the Omnitrix became unstable and conscious, and they tried to escape while possibly trying to kill Ben in the process. Another problem was the issue of a stable mental state. The evolution feature worked by placing the selected species in a simulation, right down to the DNA, for an extended period, about a million years or so, in what was described as a "worst-case scenario"; the actual DNA was then modified to match the new DNA. This survival of the fittest routine explains why the evolutions are more combat-centered than their standard forms. One would assume that a species spending a million years in 'hell' could cause possible mental problems. The new safeguards Azmuth placed in would slow the development of evolved DNA. Each genome would be analyzed to meet Azmuth's requirements before the form would be allowed for use.

Earth had changed a lot in the last several years. Things had finally calmed down not only on Earth but throughout most of the universe. The Plumbers, an intergalactic police force dedicated to preserving peace throughout the cosmos, had been granted powerful new technologies developed by the Galvan.

New weapons, new armor; basically, everything they needed to combat threats that previously required the aid of Ben and his team. Azmuth made sure to regulate the level of technology that was distributed in the organization; in fact, he was made the leader of research and development. The Plumbers would be well equipped to handle low to mid-level threats, but the Tennyson family would be on call whenever extreme danger arrived, which was not often.

Ben was mature enough to know this change was a good thing. There was peace, crime was down, and life was good. But still, there was a part of him that missed turning into an alien every day and fighting some criminal or giant monster. He didn't do any of his heroics for the fame; or at least, not anymore he didn't. He enjoys the feeling of helping others. Ben even got back into soccer along with other hobbies.

With the new-found peace, Ben was better able to strengthen his social bonds. He kept close ties with his best friend Kevin and his family. His relationship with Julie Yamamoto only strengthened thanks to the peace. They were finally able to spend quality time together without the worry of danger. Both of them attended university together. Ben and Julie moved in together in an apartment not far from campus. Luckily, they were still able to keep Ship as their pet. Julie continued to pursue a career as a professional tennis player, and Ben fully supported her. He did anything he could to keep her happy. After the situation with Esoterica, Ben knew that he had to be more supportive, considerate, and understanding. They shared a very loving and intimate relationship. All in all, life was good.

Five years after Diagon

Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Tour Finals

Ben, Kevin, Gwen, Ship, and Zed are currently spectating Julie in the last match of the tournament. Ship was lying on Ben's lap while Zed was curled up against Kevin's leg. Winning this tournament would be a big step in Julie's career. The final match was between Julie Yamamoto and Donna Vekic. So far, the first two sets have led to a tie, and the score had Julie at an advantage. To win the match, Julie had to score one more point.

"The game is cutting close. Do you think Julie can win Ben?" Gwen asked.

"She's been practicing for months. I know she can do this. I have faith in her." His eyes were full of confidence toward Julie.

"Ship, Ship," Ship 'said.'

"That's nice to hear coming from you Tennyson," Kevin commented.

"I'm not the same guy as before, and today is gonna be a big milestone for us," Ben said as he kept watching the match.

"I know. It's so sweet that you guys have been together for four years today," Gwen commented.

"I have you to thank for all this, Gwen. You made this all possible when you helped me ask her out to the pier."

"Which you ended up wrecking," Kevin remarked.

"Ship…" Ship 'said' in a much lower and embarrassed tone.

Ben cringed at that memory of the date, sighed, and smiled. "I'll be honest. It could have gone better, but it all worked out in the end. An alien was saved, we met Ship, and Julie and I walked home safe and sound." He began to stroke Ship's head as Ship purred.

"Even though walking a few miles home isn't the most romantic, it did let you two get closer. I saw you two walk past my house holding hands," Gwen replied with a slightly teasing smile.

Ben blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, I remember that. When I escorted her to her house, her dad gave me a menacing glare for bringing her home the next morning. I ended up getting interrogated to find out what exactly happened. Luckily, Julie was there to confirm my lie that the car broke down, and we got lost. He was suspicious, but in the end, all he cared about was that Julie was safe. When I got home, I ended up having an awkward conversation about my innocence, 'feelings' with girls, and safety." He let out a sigh on that memory.

Kevin tried to hold in his laugh until Gwen elbowed her boyfriend to get him to stop, and she pointed toward the court.

It was Julie's turn to serve, and Donna was on the other side in a ready stance. Julie bounced the tennis ball twice, threw the ball up, and swung an overhand serve. The ball soared to the other side as Donna made her move. The ball bounced once, and just as it was going to make its second bounce, Donna stretched her racket arm in time to underhand swing the ball back to Julie's court. The awkward body movement made her stumble a bit. Julie was prepared for that, and she quickly knocked the ball to the opposite end of the court. It landed just before the line, and Donna couldn't make it in time, scoring the winning point for Julie.

"The tournament is over, and we have a winner! A first-time winner, Julie Yamamoto. Congratulations on your victory." Yelled the announcer.

Julie walked toward Donna and shook her hand. "Good game."

Donna took a deep breath. "You too." She said while also giving a congratulatory hug.

Julie beamed a smile toward the crowd, taking in her hard-earned victory. The announcer walked up to Julie and said, "Julie, you are now the new WTA champion. What do you have to say to everyone out there."

"I want to thank all of my friends and family. I especially want to thank my boyfriend of four years, Ben Tennyson. He supported me in my dream. Meeting him is one of the best moments of my life. I love you."

Ben jumped from the stands and ran to his girlfriend and the announcer. He wrapped her in his arms and kissed her tender lips. They both had a blush, but Ben continued. "I love you too, Julie. Congratulations on winning. I knew you could do it."

"You were with me every step of the way. I could always count on you."

"Thanks, but there's something important that I have to ask you."

"Anything Ben."

The announcer stepped off to the side while still maintaining the camera view and audio of the conversation.

Ben got down on one knee.

Julie, Gwen, the announcer, and all the women in the crowded covered their mouths in expectation.

"The life of a superhero is filled with danger, adventure, and excitement; however, I want to spend every moment of it with you by my side." He proceeds to pull out a small black box from his back pocket. He holds it in one hand and opens it with the other, revealing a gold ring with a sizeable taydenite gem in the center. "Will you marry me?"

The crowd swooned at the proposal.

"Oh my god!" Julie immediately broke into tears of joy at what was happening to her.

Gwen was jumping up and down squealing in excitement while latching onto Kevin.

"We have it here first folks. The hero of Earth, Ben 10, has officially proposed to his longtime girlfriend," the announcer said to the camera.

'While I'm happy for you bro, you raised Gwen's expectations for me." He gave his best friend a big smile with a small sweatdrop.

"Ben! I can't believe this is happening!" She exclaimed with such enthusiasm and excitement.

"The world is waiting for your answer, Julie," the announcer stated.

She takes a deep breath to calm her nerves. She opens her mouth, and just as she was about to give the obvious answer,

BTOOOM, a massive explosion occurred in the background.

While all of the civilians screamed in shock at the development, Ben had a different reaction.

Ben groaned in irritation and anger. "Why! Why! Why! Why now! Can't the universe see that I'm busy here!" He screamed into the sky. He sighed and looked at his love. "I'll be right back for your answer, honey. I want this moment to be free of any more distractions." He turned toward the cameraman. "Keep the camera rolling, this would make an interesting family video in the future."

Julie blushed at what that statement implied. The thought of them together at home with a young baby sleeping her arms caused her to go completely red.

"Gwen, Kevin, I'll meet you there!" The two and Zed ran toward the site. The faceplate of the Omnitrix opened, and Ben began scrolling through his aliens. He found the right one. "It's hero time!" He slammed down on the core, instantly transforming him in a flash of emerald green light. What replaced him was a blue-skinned, green-eyed, semi-armored Velociraptor wearing a helmet that was black, long, elliptical, and pointed at the top. The creature had black wheels on his feet, five blue stripes on his tail, arms that ended in three-fingered hands, black lips, black facial markings, black rings around their eyes, and had the Omnitrix symbol on its chest. "XLR8!"

He looked at the camera and stated, "Gotta go fast!" and he proceeded to run to the battle. 'Always wanted to say that.'

Downtown Bellwood

XLR8 finally reached the area which turned out to be the Plumber outpost downtown. Gwen, Kevin, and Zed were currently assisting civilians outside of the danger zone. He zipped toward Gwen and Kevin and asked, "What's the current situation?"

Gwen turned to him and replied. "The civilians have all been moved, but the intruder is still inside."

XLR8 acknowledged. "Kevin and I will take point while you take our six and give support." Both nodded, and the trio headed toward the outpost entrance. Ben pressed his Omnitrix symbol and released another burst of emerald light. XLR8 was replaced with a humanoid crystalline-rock being wearing a green and black jumpsuit with an Omnitrix belt buckle.

"Diamondhead. Not holding back, huh." Diamondhead was one of the first aliens that Ben transformed into, and the form had become one of his favorites.

With a hint of anger and annoyance, he gave a devilish grin. "Whoever interrupted my marriage proposal is so going to pay for that." 'The world can interrupt my first date. It can ruin prom night. It can even crash my high school graduation. But interrupting a milestone in my life such as this crosses the line. "You guys ready?"

Gwen placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "We're a family Ben. We stick together, no matter what."

"Consider this your early wedding gift from us," Kevin remarked and received another blow to his side.

"Don't worry, Ben. After this is all over, I'll be picking out the present. Kevin will just be paying for it. Isn't that right babe?" Gwen gleamed a look to her boyfriend for approval. Kevin was such a softie for Gwen that even if he were in charge of the relationship, Gwen would tell him when to put it on. Kevin nodded nervously.

'There's nothing worse than a woman scorned, especially if she's an Anodite.' Kevin remembered the time when he almost forgot their anniversary. Luckily, Ben was able to distract her long enough for Kevin to prepare everything. Kevin shook his head of these thoughts as he genuinely loved Gwen, and he would go through a lot to be with her, even the fallout from his mistakes.

"Thanks. You guys are the best. Let's move out."

"Zed, stay. We'll take it from here." Kevin ordered.

"Bark."

Plumber Outpost

The hallways to the facility were significantly dimmed. "Whoever broke in cut off all the power except the auxiliary." Gwen proceeded to raise the palm of her hand, creating three purple glowing orbs of mana. She had the spheres lead the way about 10 feet ahead.

Kevin gave his thoughts on the situation. "If I remember correctly, the only systems that should be on right now are emergency lighting, life support, and high-level security. Many of the Plumbers stationed here escaped with minor to moderate injuries. The baddy is hostile. Does anyone know what this section housed? It might give us a clue on who we're dealing with." The other two shrugged as both had no clue. Most of the time, they had to deal with off-planet issues. It was more comfortable to allow the Earth Plumbers to manage the local stations. The group came across a computer terminal in what appeared to be the receptionist area. Kevin logged in with his Plumber authorization. "From the looks of it, this facility was in charge of storing confiscated items until disposal transport."

"I have a bad feeling that today is going to be one of those days." Gwen resigned.

Ben let out a sigh. "Great just what I need. Even more drama with the possibility of big explosions."

5 Minutes Later

They heard a loud crash, and Diamondhead's hulking crystal figure speed up to the sound, with Gwen and Kevin following. Diamondhead reached a level 8 security door with a giant hole cut out. Alarms were going off signaling said break-in. He whistled at the sight. Gwen and Kevin caught up and gave a similar response.

Kevin stepped forward and examined the metal door. "It's coltan. Whoever did this was able to heat this to the melting point at about 3000 degrees Celsius."

Diamondhead replied."We're getting close. Keep an eye out." After they went through the hole in the security door, they saw that the walls lined with security boxes. "Wow. Look at all this. These must have been here for years."

Kevin explained. "Due to the amount of paperwork, Plumbers tend to keep them in storage for much longer than intended."

Gwen stopped. "Wait. Do you hear that?"

"Yeah. It's this way!" Kevin exclaimed as he ran toward the source.

BTOOOM

A door flew off of its hinges, revealing a helmeted figure in a black cloak with purple lining.

"Well, if it isn't the pest, himself: Ben Tennyson and company. What an unpleasant surprise."

"Yeah, and it's all cinnamon and spice for us seeing you, Eon," Diamondhead stated sarcastically.

"What are you even doing here?" Gwen demanded.

"Uh... isn't he stealing confiscated alien tech?" Kevin whispered to his girlfriend. Gwen sweatdropped as the answer to her question was pretty obvious.

In an attempt to salvage herself, she whispered, "It was a rhetorical question."

"What could you possibly want from here anyway?" Diamondhead cut in.

"Ah, but telling you would be too easy. As people say, it's for me to know and for you to find out. Now it's time that I get going." Eon reached into his pocket, grabbed a remote, and pressed a button. "Why don't I introduce you to my entourage while I continue with without you people in the way?" Eon stepped aside, revealing approaching figures. As they left the shadows, it was clear who the enemies were: Techadon robots. "These five have been custom made to hold you off. Ta ta." The Techadons jumped and landed in front of the team.

The Alien Force took their battle stances, and Ben looked towards the retreating figure and said, "Once we finish these tin cans, I'll be coming after you."

"Yes. Yes. Whatever you say. I have much work to do" Eon ran off into the shadows.

"Let's get this over with." Kevin absorbed the steel from a support beam, and Gwen charged up her hands.

The room turned into an all-out brawl. It didn't take long for the trio to breakthrough several walls to bring the fight outside.

Diamond held off the machine and glanced at the others. Gwen and Kevin were doing well holding off one Techadon each, but the two extras were pushing them back. "Looks like we're gonna have to even the odds." Diamondhead punched the machine straight at the chest, pushing it back about 20 feet. Diamond pressed the Omnitrix symbol on his cheek, and he was once again engulfed in emerald light. When the light show ended, a small white humanoid stood. One of his most noticeable features was a square appendage resembling an MP3 player behind his back with a port on it. The alien appeared to have cassette tapes on his lower legs. He wore a pair of headphones around his head, and he had green circle-shaped indents on the back of his hands. The inside of his mouth was green with lines that give it the appearance of an amplifier. "ECHO ECHO!" His voice sounded high-pitched and electronic.

He immediately split into three copies. "Help them."

"Got it." the two said in sync and ran off.

Echo Echo faced the staggering robot and glared. "Wall…." He split into three copies. "of…" The three turned into nine. "Sound!" All nine copies reverberated the last word in sync of one another. The sound waves amplified each other into a single devastating blow through constructive interference. The Techadon was still standing, but it was sparking in places. 'Thank you, physics.' Echo Echo thought.

Meanwhile

"Lay off the family, rust buckets!" The two Echo Echos attracted the attention of the two extra Techadons. The two Echo Echos nodded at each other and stood at opposite sides of the robots. "Echo Chamber!" In a flash, the two robots were surrounded by copies, bearing down the force of multiple amplified sonic attacks and sparking like the others.

Suddenly, the Techadons grabbed Gwen and Kevin and pinned them down. The remaining three grabbed onto the Echos. "Ben!"

"Hey, let us go you oversized action figures!" They yelled in unison.

"Yes. Thank you for the distraction, my minions. I have finally completed the device."

"What's it going to do? Destroy me? Just like every other time, someone tried that on me?" Echo Echo said sarcastically.

"As much as I would love to destroy you, I believe that I have found a much better solution to prevent your further hindrance." A machine with a large ring was wheeled into view. "Through my many travels, I had seen many alternate timelines when I battled the Tennysons and the Omnitrix." His eye made a glance at Gwen before turning his attention back to Ben

Echo Echo didn't know why he used his family name, so he pushed the thought to the back of his mind. "So? That means I'll always be there to kick your butt one way or another." He replied in a mocking tone.

"That's where you're wrong. I know that I can't kill you." He looked at the Omnitrix symbol remembering the Omniverse timeline. Echo Echo gave a confused look. "Since I can't do that, I'll just have to move you." Eon pressed a button on his wrist, and the device lit up and activated. Inside the ring was a distortion of colors. "It brings me great pleasure that I have the opportunity to cast you out, forever lost within the expanding multiverse."

"What!?" Gwen and Kevin called out.

"How is that even possible for you? I thought you could only move through time." Gwen still struggling to get free.

"Ah. Yes. I still haven't gotten to that part yet." He turned back to Ben and asked, "Do you remember that interview you had a few years ago?"

Echo Echo thought back and remembered. He hoped he wasn't right. "Yes," he said reluctantly.

"You disappeared on national television, so it was obvious for me to find out about your...predicament."

"What did you do?!" Echo Echo shouted. Ben knew Eon was referring to the time he went into Rex's Earth, but what happened while he was gone.

"While you were on the other side of that thing doing who knows what, I decided to do a little digging. That little light show that appeared was an event horizon. The energy particles were able to tear through the boundaries of the multiverse. I tried to close the anomaly before you could return to no avail. That was when I realized that this was my opportunity to get rid of you. I just needed to bide my time to get the necessary equipment and set the trap."

The three Echo Echos struggled to get free from the robotic grips, but their small form didn't give them the necessary strength. "Don't make me do something I might regret Eon. Surrender now and maybe I won't punch you in the face."

Eon scoffed. "A tempting offer, but I must get started." He turned around to run some diagnostic checks.

The three Echo Echos looked at each other and nodded. 3...2...1

SCHREEEEEEECH

Each Echo aimed at a different target. Two aimed at the two Techadons holding down Gwen and Kevin, and One was aimed right at Eon and the control panel.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH" Eon yelled in pain. He needed to get out of range, so he jumped away to safety as the console began to spark and the machine shutting down.

Gwen and Kevin were able to break free from the Techadon's holds, and they proceeded to bash their helmets.

The three Echo Echos tried to blast sound waves at their captors, but they were able to shut him up. How? They shoved their fists into his mouths. Gross.

With Ben incapacitated and Gwen and Kevin still distracted, Eon needed to act fast. He ran to the console and pulled the manual override activating the machine once again. "I need you gone now!" The device powered on, but something was off. It was too unstable, and it began to pull in the surroundings. "Goodbye, Ben. I'll see you never." In an instant, Eon jumped out of the current timeline.

This was bad. The Techadons were still holding onto Ben, and he needed to get out. He never tried this move before, but now was a good time as any. The three Echo Echos closed their eyes and focused. Suddenly all three exploded into multiple clones, causing the robots to lose their grip.

The multiple clones unleashed multiple sonic attacks shattering the three robots to scrap. What the clones didn't know was that the pull of the machine was getting stronger. The Echos tried to run for it, but the pull was too strong. Some recombined, and then they became a line of 5 clones each hanging on to the other with one hanging onto a nearby railing.

"Somebody, stop this crazy thing!" all five of them screamed in sync. The duplicates couldn't focus enough to recombine.

"I'm slipping," the one in the far end yelled.

"Just hold on a little longer" the one-fourth in line yelled back.

Number five looked ahead to the struggling Echo slowly losing his grip on the railing. He looked back to copy number 4 "If the original is going to survive this and get married, we need to let go."

"Are you crazy? We can't do that. We don't know what's on the other side."

"We can't wait for the others any longer, and the pull is getting stronger."

"I don't want Julie to be a widow before she even gets married. I know I'm going to regret this but fine. The original is the priority."

"Follow my lead." Both clones let go allowing Echo Prime to reaffirm his grip. The two flew through the air toward the hole. Five gave a hard look at 4, and they both nodded. Both opened their mouths and unleashed a combined sonic attack at the ring. The machine began to break down, and the hole started to shrink slowly. Unfortunately, the pull was still active. "Hopefully, I'll see you on the other side. Stay safe" 5 saluted to 4.

"Who knows? Maybe we'll make it back home." Four replied. They both smiled at each other as they both flew into the tear.

Seconds later, the tear closed, and Echo Echo Prime was finally able to let go and recombine. Gwen and Kevin made it back to Ben and saw the broken robots at the destroyed machine.

"What happened here, Ben?" Gwen asked.

Echo Echo pressed the symbol on his chest and reverted into Ben. Ge had a somber expression. "I couldn't recombine, and I couldn't hold onto all five of us. 2 of my clones decided to let go so I could live." He sat down to absorb today's events.

Gwen placed a hand on Ben's shoulder. "Ben, we can mourn for their loss later. Don't let their sacrifice be in vain. You still haven't heard Julie's answer yet." Ben's expression perked up at the mention of Julie. They began walking back to the tournament to find Julie.

Kevin took his other shoulder. "Don't worry Ben. I'm sure they're in a better place."

Elsewhere

Echo Echo opened his eyes as he felt a massive gust of wind blowing on his face. That's when he realized he was falling from the sky.

"Oh, geez! What the–?!" Echo Echo tried to say as he kept falling. He immediately slapped the Omnitrix symbol once again transformed. In place was a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armor plating on his back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms. The alien was mostly white, with four claws on both of his hands. This was Cannonbolt.

He rolled up into a ball and crashed on the ground, creating a sizable crater. He turns back to human form and lies down on the same hole. "Ow..." He muttered.

A/N:

I hope you enjoyed the chapter. If you did, please favorite, follow, and review. See you guys next chapter. Before we get to the story, I want to let off some steam about most of the Ben 10 and JL/YJ crossovers I have seen. I am sick and tired of the whole "I lost my family, so now I'm gonna kill myself" BS. It's been done to death. At least with Ben 10,000 Returns by Ashton Knight, Ben grows a pair and does something productive with his life. Ashton even offers a timeline and explanation since he or she made both series occur in the same universe. The only completed story that I can truly compliment for the "I lost my family, so now I'm gonna kill myself" scenario is Ben 10: Unlimited by The Incredible Muffin. It was your story that made me love the idea of this particular crossover.

For the record black holes do not lead to other worlds. Black holes are very large concentrations of matter with such a high gravity that light cannot escape it. It has an ever-increasing mass and can reach a near zero volume. What authors should be referring to as a tear in space and time is a wormhole.

On a different note, there is so much plagiarism in the Ben 10 JL/YJ crossovers. Two stories had the same scenario with Wonder Girl, and one pretty much stole a kiss scene with Chesire from a DBZ/YJ crossover. For god sake people, if you are going to copy, at least cite the original work.

This Ben takes place in an alternate timeline to the canon Ben. Events from Omniverse will be used at my discretion. I mean really... Ben and Julie broke up over a video game phone call, and Ben became less mature than before. In addition, the retcon of Plumber's kids and Kevin sucked. For the record, character designs will be determined at my discretion. Some of the omniverse character redesigns are friggin ugly. Why does NRG have a damn handle on his head? Why does Echo Echo look like a deformed troll? I believe that using more pleasant character descriptions will help visualize the story better.

Since I plan on making the two series originally separate, I wanted to use an adapted version of the intro from RWBBYVerse: Clash of Heroes by bcarandang1

Chapter 2

4:36 pm

"Wake up Tennyson." A voice said.

"No, Mom. I don't want to go to school today. I want to stay home and bake cookies with you.

"Ugh… Benjamin K. Tennyson, you wake up this instant!" It yelled in annoyance.

"Aaaah." Ben woke up instantly to the yell.

"Finally," it said in relief.

Ben looked around for the source of the voice but found none. "Who said that?"

"I did," the voice replied.

Ben looked at the Omnitrix in confusion. "What?" Suddenly, the faceplate opened up and projected a hologram of a small frog-like being.

"I've been trying to wake you for about an hour now." It sighed in relief.

Ben raised an eyebrow. "Azmuth? What are you doing here?"

"I'm not Azmuth. I'm the AI that runs the Omnitrix. Azmuth 10. Who do you think says all those indications to you?"

Ben just blinked. "I'm surprised about seeing an AI besides Eunice."

Azmuth 10 decided to explain. "The Omnitrix uses quantum computing to analyze all the DNA stored within along with monitoring the various functions. Azmuth couldn't trust any AI except one he made himself."

"So why are you here now? You haven't shown up before."

"I was given this feature with the latest update you received. Whenever you lost connection to Primus, things tend to go poorly, so he allowed me to speak to you in such cases."

"Well, that's good because I happen to be in a bit of a pickle."

Azmuth sighed in annoyance. "What happened this time?"

Ben relayed the events before his arrival here.

"So you're one of the Sonosarian clones. Interesting."

"Interesting? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Remember when you split yourself using the Sonosarian DNA a while back."

"Yeah. I ended up causing trouble because of the different personalities."

"After you told me that, I was programmed to reduce mental side effects. At the moment, your mental state should be about equal to the originals. "

"Well, that sounds good. If we're able to get back home, do you think that we could recombine."

"I'm not so sure about that."

"Why?"

"Do you know how Sonosarians reproduce?"

Ben thought about Echo Echo. "Isn't the species just living sound in a suit?"

"Exactly. When Sonosarian clones separate for long periods, their brain waves come out of sync. The clone becomes its distinct consciousness. That's how they reproduce."

"So if I don't get home soon, I won't be able to recombine with the original Ben."

Azmuth nodded, "That is correct."

Ben sighed in relief. "That's not too bad. I'm alive. He's alive. Not the worse thing to happen."

Azmuth smirked at the response. "I'm glad to see such optimism in our current situation."

Ben shrugged. "Since we're pretty much stuck here with no way back, we should probably look for civilization."

"Indeed. I may be able to help you in that regard. Raise the Omnitrix above your head." Ben did as requested. The hologram turned off, and energy emitted.

Confused, Ben asked. "What was that?"

Azmuth began to explain. "I used a small pulse to locate large concentrations of sentient life. There appears to be a city a few miles North just through that swamp. I wouldn't recommend flying there as we don't know if this Earth is hostile to new life forms flying. On a side note, there is a signature in the swamp, so you might want to transform before your departure."

Ben nodded. "Thanks for the help."

"It's what I was made to do. Call me again if you need further assistance."

"No problem." Azmuth closed the hologram function. 'Since we're going through a swamp, I know who to be.'

He scrolled through the watch and pressed the core. In a green flash, he became a humanoid plant-like alien with a green and black colored body with root-like feet, seemingly holding rocks. The shoulders and head had red and yellow petals.

"SWAMPFIRE!" 'Take that, damn mosquitoes. It will be a long walk…' "Engage Lifeform lock."

"Lifeform Lock Engaged"

'Better get a move on.'

8:14 pm

Swampfire was in the middle of the swamp. 'Sheesh, how big is this place? Huh?' He came to a small clearing with a strange plant-like house near the swamp water. 'Must be that signature Azmuth told me earlier. I should approach carefully.'

"Hello! Is anyone inside? I'm just passing through. I mean no harm. I'm just heading to the nearest city." A minute passed, and there was no response. "I guess no one's home."

"Who are you?"

Ben turned to the direction of the voice. A shadowy figure stepped into the light of the clearing. What Ben saw surprised him. 'Is he an alien?'

The creature eyed him warily. "What are you doing here?"

"I mean no harm. My name is Swampfire. I'm just passing through."

"Hmm." The creature looked at Swampfire once more. "...Very well. You may call me Alec. The Swamp seems to confirm your words. I will trust you for now." He gave an immense glare and looked to the sky. "It is getting late to continue on foot. I permit you to stay for the night."

"Uh...Thanks. I appreciate the hospitality."

10:13 pm

The two were gathered around a fire cooking some gator that they caught earlier. They ate in awkward silence until Ben decided to break it. "So…what are you?"

"What do you mean? Are we not of the same origin."

Swampfire raised his nonexistent eyebrow. "You're an alien too?

It was Alec's turn to be confused. "I am confused. Are you not a product of the Swamplands? You are an alien?"

Ben could feel the awkwardness in the air. "Well...yeah."

Alec eyed him top to bottom, trying to get a read on him. "So, you're like that Superman guy but a plant... How is that possible?"

'Superman? I guess he's a known alien here then.' "Uh. I come from a planet where plants evolved into sapient life." It wasn't a total lie. That is what happened for this species but not him personally. "What about you?"

"At the moment, I am not sure. I used to be human, studying these very same Swamplands, but there was an accident."

'Well... that's a new one to add to the origin books.' "I'm sorry to hear that." He wasn't sure about what else to say.

"Don't worry about me. I have come to terms with my new life a long time ago. The Green, it comforts me, guides me.

"The Green?" Ben asked.

"I don't fully comprehend it myself, but it resides and connects with all plant-life all around us. It is within me. I can even sense it within you."

Swampfire placed a hand to his chest. "Woah. That's heavy. Although, I think I know someone who can clarify."

Alec tilted his head in confusion.

"Hey Azmuth, I think I found something you might want to look at."

From the Omnitrix symbol came the Azmuth AI.

"Yes, what seems to be the…" He cut himself off at the sight of him. "Fascinating, sentient plant life on Earth."

Alec blinked at the hologram. "Who and what is he?"

Swampfire paused to come up with an answer and shrugged "He's my guide of sorts. He's brilliant, so don't judge him before you get to know him."

Alec continued to stare at the little frog thing. "I see."

A yellow light panned over Alec. Azmuth put a hand to his chin. "From my analysis, I can see that you are perfectly fine. Although you aren't an evolved life form such as Swampfire here, your consciousness and plant body are bonded together because of the Earth's mana.

Alec's confusion on the current situation grew, raising an eyebrow. "Mana?"

Swampfire decided to step in and explain. "To me, Mana is considered life energy. It is in all lifeforms and planetary bodies. Doesn't sound too far off from the Green you mentioned."

Alec looked at his hands and then to the surrounding swamp. "Fascinating. But, why me?"

Azmuth nodded. "That's the question we all ask ourselves. Whether this Green has a conscious or not, it saw something in you before you perished."

"The Green. It has shown me many things in this Swamp. As there is a light, there is also darkness?"

Swampfire frowned. "Darkness?"

Alec pointed into the distance. "Just as the Green is a balance of life and death, there is an imbalance out there, only bringing death, a Rot if you will"

"That doesn't sound good at all."

"I know. It is not a lie to say that the land of the Rot had been abused."

Swampfire nodded solemnly. "This Green, it's trying to find balance again, right?"

"Yes."

"Tell me. How can I help you get rid of this Rot."

"The Rot goes beyond conventional biology. I listen to the Green, and they tell me what is needed."

"You said that you sense the Green within me. Can you teach me?"

"I would be happy to."

"Thank you for your help and for talking to me about all this. Maybe in return, we can exchange tips on controlling plants. I'm pretty sure you grew that house that way."

Alec chuckled before walking toward a tree. "Perhaps. Now, place your hand on this trunk. Close your eyes, and let the Green flow through you."

For the next hour, Swampfire felt more connected to the world than ever.

7:16 am

Both of them had woken up at the crack of dawn. The two were standing outside of the camp seeing each other off.

"Good luck on your journey. I hope you find what you are looking for." Alec held out his hand toward Swampfire.

Swampfire took his hand and gave a firm shake, confirming their friendship. "Thanks for everything. Goodbye. I'll come by and visit sometime." He began walking North.

Alec waved at the shrinking figure. "Farewell!"

Swampfire waved back without looking, continuing his journey toward the city.

Omnitrix DNA Entry:

Name: Swampfire

Species: Methanosian

Home World: Methanos

Powers and Abilities:

Methanosians have a wide array of powers, such as regeneration powers, the ability to slip through tight spaces, enhanced strength, chlorokinesis, stretching, and the ability to alter their body. They can generate and blast flames of various amounts of heat and intensity through their hands and mouths via igniting the methane in their bodies, with enough precision to melt a metal cage without harming the people inside. Methanosians can reattach detached body parts by manipulating their vine-like "veins" to reach out and meld with the insides of the detached limb. Methanosians could instead regenerate a lost limb or reform if destroyed and their body parts are close enough.

Dude, awesome story. I can't wait for the next chapter, and is he really going to be paired with Julie because I think it would be better if he was paired with someone from the Young Justice universe? So, good job, and I can't wait for the next chapter. Write soon. Later.

Reply: The answer to your question will be in this chapter.

timijaf

Seems Interesting so I think you are going to have been run so fast he runs into another dimension and this is your story but you don't have to do this but I never really like it when they have him go to the cave at the start maybe he lands in central city or maybe Starling iCty or Gotham

Reply: How he gets there will be answered in this chapter. Don't worry about where he ends up. I plan to be original.

OmniNinja

I think it is a great chapter. I can't wait for the next one. I hope this story works out and Ben is able to return and finish his proposal to Julie. See you next time.

Reply: Thank you. In addition, I found a way to make both sides happy.

TerrorKing10

Okay, you've got my attention, now I want to see where this goes. I think Ben should be paired with one of the girls from the dc universe. My top 3 candidates are Miss Martian, Artemis, and Zatanna. You could also add villains who didn't appear in the show like Metallo, Giganta, Star Sapphire, Toyman and whoever might interest you. Also can Ben's Ultimatrix scan Superman, Martian Manhunter and whatever other aliens Ben will meet? Update soon.

Reply: I want to explore the list of available heroines first before I dive into the romance aspect. I want to flesh out characters and allow them to develop. I also want to include storylines outside of the show to assist in the development of characters. Do I plan on scanning aliens? Yes.

WolfoftheMoonStorm

This is a really good first chapter. There was a lot of backstory to go through, but it doesn't feel like too much of an information dump. I'm really curious to see where you'll go with this story, as most others are never completed.

Reply: Thank you for the compliment.

Ben 10 Reader

I think most of the crossovers in this and the JL section use sandman7734's Justice League: Ultimate Hero and its reboot as a base (Which kinda pisses me off because there are SO MANY SCENES which were just copied and then changed. A little. Like, only the names. And sometimes even they didn't get changed). Even Ben 10: Unlimited by The Incredible Muffin was based on sandman773's story (which was inspired/a bit based on a JL/Spiderman crossover). I read both and while Incredible Muffin's is complete, it just didn't pull me in like Justice League: Ultimate Hero. I really hope this one will end up better than both.

Just, please, don't overdo it with the romance if you are going to include any. It's the main thing which made me dislike Ben 10: Unlimited. While I don't hate romance, it's pretty much all you can find for Ben 10. *cries*

Reply: Don't worry about the story. I plan on using the episodes as pillars of some events with original fillers to add more depth to the story. I love romance as much as the next guy, but love takes time to develop. There may be infatuation or a crush, but that's not love. I plan on a slow burn type.

Rider's Light

You have a very good, start. Character development is good, and there is enough information to keep the readers up to date with the story, yet they don't feel as if they are only reading background info. You are not basing the opening off of Sandman (which despite being good is frankly overused), and that separates your story from many others.

You have caught my attention, and I am eager to see where this story goes.

Good Job~
