Sorry for the huge delay. I'm just having trouble coming up with ideas, because this story will not be canon to the main series of Ben 10, except what we see in the shows. Let me clear myself, everything from Ben 10 to Ben 10: Ultimate Alien is canon, but his thoughts and actions off camera are not. His backstory will not be canon. Also, Ben 10: Omniverse will not be present here, only a few things, like Charmcaster's look. Or thing. I don't like the Omnitrix (DID YOU KNOW THE FULL NAME WAS OMNIMATRIX?) , so I will stick to the Ultimatrix.

So sorry for the delay, I'm still clearing stuff out. But I should have somsthing out for Christmas Eve and Christmas day.

For know enjoy this small preview.

Ben awoke to the blinding light of the lamp above him. He closed his eyes and waited until his eyes adjusted to the sudden lumination.

When his eyes finally adjusted he decided to look around. It seemed to be that he was in a hospital room. He concluded this by the fact that there were three monitors to his side, one was taking his heartbeat while the other two just spit out numbers. Also the fact that the whole room was white and smelled like hand-sanitizer.

He was wondering what he was doing there for, when he remembered what had happened. He was attacked by Hex. He saw the flashes of the battle race through his mind, he relived the feelings. As relucent as he was to admit it, he was scared when he saw Hex throw that spell at one of his Echo Echos'. The thought of being in that much pain was cringing to him, and he didn't want that to happen to anyone else.

Ben lifted his arm, only to find that pain ran through his arm. He dropped it immidietly, afraid to be in any more pain. He turned his neck to the sides to see if there was any medicine. To his bad luck, no. There was no medicine in sight, but what there WAS in sight was a blaster, like the ones the Plumbers use. At this, Ben's eyes widened, he knew what this meant. He wasn't in a real hospital were he was going to have to explain to the nurses and doctor's what happened, he was in the plumbers base, under ground, safe from any outside attacks.

Ben then moved his hand to the call button that was in the side of the bed, only to be stopped as pain registered in his arm, wrist, hand, fingers, and knuckles. His puples became smaller, his teeth grinded on each other and he started to sweat.
