I'm happy to see that people still like this story. Here's a little bit of a dilemma I'm having, though. In regards to Ultimate Humungousaur, do I want to use his Ultimate Alien form, his Omniverse form, or do I want to use his Ultimate Alien Ultimate Form with the colors of his Omniverse form? Either way, it probably means Ultimate Humungousaur won't be appearing anytime soon. In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

*I still don't own Ben 10 or Teen Titans!*

Siblings Reunite!

In the universe of DC, everything was peaceful as per usual at Titans Tower. Robin was looking at some data on the main computer in an attempt to find any leads on this Slade character, Raven was reading, Cyborg and Beast Boy had gotten into one of their famous meat/tofu debates, and Starfire was in the kitchen preparing a dish from her home planet. Like I said, peaceful.

But as Starfire started to put away some of the dishes she'd used to prepare the food, her mind wasn't entirely on the task at hand. She grew saddened as she remembered that something traumatic happened on this very day.

'Today is the day the Gordanians first invaded Tamaran. The day he went missing… I still miss him every day of my life.'

Just then, Starfire tensed up and her hands went slack, causing her to drop the plates she was carrying. Their resulting crashing sound caught the attention of the other Titans, as Starfire was known to never drop anything when working in the kitchen.

Suddenly, they were forced to their feet as Starfire's eyes began glowing a bright green as her own green fire began to surround her in a pillar of flame. But within the pillar, something strange was going on with Starfire. Her left eye began to glow dark red as flecks of red fire began to mix with the green. But as this happened, Starfire began to notice a strange and familiar sensation reawakening deep within her subconscious.

"What's happening? Where am I?" asked a voice that was both foreign and familiar to Starfire.

"Hello?" she telepathically called out.

She looked to her side and saw something forming from the red fire of the pillar. It was a humanoid male with glowing red eyes that were very familiar. So familiar in fact, that it made Starfire gasp in shock.

She knows exactly who this is. The hair may be longer and he may be taller. His voice may have deepened, but it was the eyes that gave him away to her.

Those eyes… Starfire KNOWS those eyes.

"Redfire…? Brother, is that you?" she asked.

"Redfire? Who's Redfire?" the figure asked, raising an eyebrow. "You must have the wrong guy, miss, because my name's not Redfire. It's Ben. Ben Tennyson."

"No, you are wrong, brother! You may have lost your memories of your past life, but that is something to be expected. You were only four when you disappeared all those years ago. But I can tell as I look into your eyes. You are my younger twin brother, Redfire of Tamaran! And it is I, Starfire, your older twin sister!"

The figure, who we now know is Ben/Redfire, looked as though he didn't want to believe this girl standing before him. Starfire… the very mention of this name stirred something within the darkest recesses of his mind. His eyes widened as he saw visions of a memory flash before his eyes.

There appeared to be a younger version of himself playing around with two little girls in a lush garden filled with alien plant life. One of them looked like a younger version of Starfire, the other girl looked to be two years older than both of them, and had black hair and purple eyes with lighter skin.

All three of them tumbled around on the ground, laughing as they played and just had fun like children do. Then he saw two grownups walk out into the garden to meet up with the children. One of them was a man with black hair, the other was a woman with the same auburn hair that Starfire has.

As he snapped back to reality, he knew exactly what had happened, and that Starfire was telling the truth.

"I… I remember now…! Every bit of it! Tell me, sister, how do I get to where you are now?" Ben asked.

"I do not know. I believe you are currently in a comatose state, and so a link has been established between us. I believe that if you have a strong enough energy source, you will be able to solidify and interact with this world as if it were the world your physical body is currently residing in. But where can we find such an energy source?"

Ben thought about this and knew of only one energy source that could possibly help in this situation. The Omnitrix was able to freely access the bio-energy residing in the Codon Stream in order for him to transform into various types of aliens. But he knew that wouldn't work. Albedo made sure of that in their last fight.

But that's when he felt something odd on his hand. He looked down and was shocked to find the recreated Ultimatrix on his hand. He had no idea how it got there, nor did he really care at the moment. All he knows is that he has the energy needed to help them out here.

He reached for the Ultimatrix and instinctively knew how to activate it. The core popped up, and he saw that the selection system was similar to when he had gotten the Omnitrix when he was ten years old. This time, it seemed to show an image of himself. With nothing to lose, he pressed down on the Ultimatrix core and was engulfed in a flash of red light that not only intensified the brightness and heat of the flames, but also dispersed them just as quickly.

When it was done, the other Titans were greeted to the sight of Starfire standing in front of another Tamaranean, a male who looked to be around Star's age, if a little younger.

He was taller than Starfire by about a foot, and his skin was a darker shade of orange with long scarlet red hair tied in a low ponytail. His eyes were glowing red, and he was wearing an outfit that was a dark red bodysuit that hugged his body and showed off his lean yet strong muscle tone. He also wore black shoes that looked similar to those that Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z wears, along with black gloves and a battle jacket that were the same style as Vegeta's armor in Dragon Ball Z Resurrection 'F'. The battle jacket was primarily black with silver straps and silver armor over the abs.

Finally, this strange Tamaranean was also wearing an odd device over his left hand. It looked almost like a gauntlet of sorts and didn't seem to hinder the movement or grip of the hand even with a glove underneath it. The device was red in color with four black squares that were located where the knuckles generally were. It also has these four white 'spikes' sticking out from a circular dial with a red hourglass mark in it.

The glow in both Tamaraneans' eyes died down and revealed the strangers eyes to have a color palette similar to Starfire's, only in red. The irises were a dark maroon color with the sclera being a lighter shade of red. If not for his own obvious heritage, one might have mistaken that for lack of sleep or a bad case of pinkeye.

"Whoa…!" gasped Cyborg.

"No way!" Raven managed to breathe out.

"Dude!" gasped Beast Boy.

"Starfire, what happened? Who is this guy?" Robin asked.

After a moment of silence, Starfire walked toward the stranger and placed a hand on his shoulder. He was solid. The strange method he used worked like a charm.

"Friends, I would like to introduce you all to my twin brother, Redfire. He was named that because of his red eyes and red starbolt fire." Starfire said, introducing him.

The boy scratched his head, not quite used to being called by that name.

"Being called by my real name is going to take some getting used to. So for now, just call me Ben."

The Titans were in shock. Starfire has a brother? Then why has she never mentioned him before? And where has he been all this time?

*To Be Continued…*

Sorry, still a short chapter, but at least I got this part out, just to explain to everybody what the situation is between Ben and Starfire. Hope this clears some things up, and I'll see you all next time!
