"Aahhh!" Shouted our teen hero Benjamin Kirby Tennyson. After several moments of screaming and realizing he wasn't dead, he opened his eyes. What he saw surprised him to say the least. Instead of falling from the lower layers of our atmosphere towards the base of Mt. Rushmore, he was sitting in a city alley. "What the heck?" He wondered aloud, and that's when his memories starting flowing back to him. A blue portal had opened underneath him as he was falling, but then he remembered something else. He wasn't falling alone! Kevin and Gwen were also plummeting towards the ground with Ben, however, unlike Ben, they were both unconscious. Ben couldn't remember if they had also fallen through the portal with him. He just had to hope for the best and pray they did. Just as he was calming himself about that situation though, another thought occurred to him. "Vilgax!" He shouted aloud as he remembered. He had to get back to Mt. Rushmore. He reached for the device on his wrist. The omnitrix. It, however, was still not charged! But Ben couldn't just sit around and wait for it to recharge so he ran out of the alley intending to start running towards Mt. Rushmore until his omnitrix recharged, however when he ran into the city streets he was once again surprised. He was in a city he didn't recognize. There was a tall building sitting right across the street from Ben that had a giant golden globe on the roof. The sign read The Daily Planet, also all in gold. 'Never heard of it.' Thought Ben before deciding to ignore it and he began to run off again. He stopped about a block away when he realized something. He didn't know which way was Mt. Rushmore. He then remembered that his new omnitrix had GPS technology. Apparently he was in a city called Metropolis. Mt. Rushmore was about 1,300 miles away. 'Well, better start running' Ben thought to himself, and so he did. A few blocks later and the omnitrix finally beeped green. Ben didn't waste a second as he reached for the watch and transformed into Jetray, his fastest alien.

Moments later, Ben arrived at Mt. Rushmore. When he got there though he was even further surprised. Not only was Mt. Rushmore in one piece but Vilgax and his ship were no where to be seen. Nor was his Grandfather, cousin, friend or any of their vehicles. Ben had no idea what to make of the situation. He decided to see if he could find any clues inside the old plumber base. When Ben landed near the entrance of the base, he transformed back into his human self and put his hand where the security pad should be. However, nothing happed. 'Strange' thought Ben, as he tried moving his hand around the rocky wall thinking he just put his hand in the wrong spot. After about a minute of nothing happening, he decided to just transform into ghostfreak and phase his way through the mountain. After several minutes of going through the mountain, ending up on the other side and trying again, he was beginning to understand what had happened. He was in a different universe. "Great!" Ben shouted to no one in particular, "Not again." Ben decided to try one last thing before giving up. He tried to communications feature on the Omnitrix. "Grandpa Max?" Nothing. "Gwen? Kevin?" Nothing. "This is Ben 10, does anyone copy?" Nothing. 'Well, there's my answer then,' he thought to himself. 'Now what? Usually when this sort of thing happens Paradox explains the situation first. Except that one time when I ended up in Rex's….oh.' With that Ben once again transformed into Jetray and was going to head back to Metropolis as he recalled seeing a statue of someone with a cape and some symbol on their Chest cause 'hey, why not? It couldn't hurt….could it?' Up until this point his only enchanters with people wearing capes and symbols on their chests were the Galactic Enforcers, and while he wasn't particularly a fan, they were good guys. Before he had a chance to fly off though, a strange white light caught his attention.

Three figures appeared. One was a man dressed in black and had what looked to be a bat theme going on. The second was what looked like an actual goddess, she had black hair, a tiara and had a sword, shield and lasso. She drew her sword and shield. The last was a man in a green and black suit, he was glowing green. He immediately began hovering off the ground and raised his arm towards Ben, who noticed the man was wearing a green ring. "Who are you?" Asked the man in black, "And why are you here?" Ben wasn't sure if these were the good guys, I mean what heroes wear black and draw their weapons on people who haven't done anything, just because he looked like an alien gave them the right to treat him like a criminal. Ben decided to have some fun. He took to the sky with incredible speed. Oddly enough the only one based off a flying creature wad the only one who didn't fly after him. 'Well, one down. Two to go' Ben thought. With that though, he knew he couldn't be the first one to attack them, as it might be hard to claim he's a hero if he does just so happen to attack this world's heroes. Luckily, he didn't have to wait long. The glowing green man shot a beam of energy at him, that Ben decided to let hit him so he could retaliate. The beam was a bit stronger then Ben thought it would be but it still barely did a thing to Jetray besides knock him off balance momentarily. Ben turned his head and aimed his tail and the man and fired three direct shots. 'Guess he wasn't expecting me to fire back' he thought. However the blasts did very little damage to the hero thanks to the green energy protecting his body. The woman was the next to attack as she tried to lasso him, but this time Ben dodged the attack and again fired back at her with three bolts of green energy. However she was able to block them with her shield. That's when a green bubble incased Jetray. Ben acted quickly though and transformed into Big Chill and immediately went invisible but decided not to try and escape the bubble. No, he just wanted to hide, after all he didn't want his fun to end just yet. The man released the bubbles incasing the now invisible moth, thinking he had escaped. "Great Hera!" Exclaimed the woman, followed by a "What the heck?" From the man. That's when the man in black appeared in some kind of a plane or a ship. "What happened?" He asked when the roof to the plane opened. "He's seemed to have just disappeared." Said the other man. The man in the plane turned to look at one of the screens in the plane. "There was a large energy spike, it's not like the zeta beam energy or boom tube energy, but I suppose it still could be some kind of teleportation technology." There was a pause before he continued. "It's the same energy spike I detected in Metropolis, right before I detected that creature moving at flash like speeds towards this location." "What are you saying Batman?" Asked the woman. "I'm saying, Wonder Woman, something strange is happening. We should keep monitoring for more of these energy signatures. We have no idea what we're dealing with here." "Let's head back to the Watchtower, he might show up again somewhere else." Said the man in green. "Good Idea Green Lantern." Said Wonder Woman, and with that, the three disappeared. 'Hmmm,' thought Ben, 'Batman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman. And they have teleportation technology. I might be able to use that to get back to my world, but first, back to Metropolis.' And Ben, in the form of Big Chill, flew back towards Metropolis. He feared that if he transformed again those three would be right back on his tail, and probably with a shoot first mentality. And maybe even with reinforcements, he was still not sure if they were heroes on this world.

Meanwhile, in an alley somewhere, Kevin was regaining consciousness. "ugh, what happened?" Kevin wondered aloud. "And where am I?" He asked just now realizing he was in an alley. That's when his memories flooded back to him. "Vilgax!" He shouted, as he remembered what happened. The last thing he remembered was him, Ben and Gwen fighting robots on Vilgax's ship before being knocked out by an attack from Vilgax himself. But that still didn't explain where he was now or why he was here. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his plumber badge. "Gotham City?" He wondered aloud, "New Jersey! I was in South Dakota!" Before he could wonder anymore about his current predicament, another thought crossed his mind. "Gwen!" He tried using his badge to locate Gwen's plumbers badge, put he couldn't find it, instead he found a different signal. "Ben!" And with that he tried to use his badge to contact Ben, but there was interference that prevented it from working. 'Guess I'm just gonna have to do this the old fashioned way', he thought. He was about to go leave the alley when he remembered something. "My car!" He shouted, practically loud enough for all of Gotham to hear. He ran out of the alley in hopes of finding his car there, but alas, it was not there. "Damn it." He grumbled to himself. 'Guess I'll have to steal a car' he thought to himself as he began walking towards the nearest car. Something stopped him however before he even reached the car. It was something that sounding like it was about to break the sound barrier, and that's when it happened. A black car raced paced him almost too fast for him to see it. 'That'll do' he thought to himself as he continued to break into the nearest car. Hey, he still needed something to get him to that car, walking after it would surely take too long.

Once he broke into the car and started it, he just had to figure out where the car went. Just as he began thinking of ways to find the mysterious car and explosion went off at the other end of the city. Kevin began to wonder if whoever was driving the car was responsible for the explosion. If that were the case then he would have no qualms about taking the car from him. It only took him about 20 minutes to reach the building that was now on fire. It was a bank. 'Figures' thought Kevin, 'the guy had to pay for the car somehow, or he stole it. Either way, this guy was a criminal.' Kevin used his recently updated plumbers badge to scan the building for life signs. There was one. It was on the roof. Kevin looked up just in time to see a kid jump from the roof of the burning building to the next one over before appearing to dive into an alley. Kevin ran over thinking the kid must've been the one to cause the explosion. He got there just in time to see him open the roof to the black car Kevin saw before. "Hey!" Kevin shouted as he ran towards the kid. The boy turned to look at the man but said nothing. When Kevin reached the car, he touched it and absorbed the material of the car. The boy jumped down by the man, drawing his sword, not sure if the man was going to attack or not. Kevin jumped over the car and into the driver seat while simultaneously raising one of his hands to create a dome around the car separating the boy from him. The boy just stood there, shocked at the dome that appeared out of no where and now covered the car. Using his free hand Kevin tried to figure out how the car worked as there were a lot of buttons and screens. The boy realized the dome was made of the same material as the car and tried to think of ways to get through the dome, but knowing the material was nearly indestructible made it impossible for him to think of any possible solutions with just the tools he had in his utility belt. This left only one choice, a last resort. Back in the car, Kevin thought he finally figured out what most, or at least the most important, buttons did, and to test his hypothesis he pressed a button. The car whirred to life. After that the rest was easy. Steering, braking, and gas. Once he was far enough away from the car's owner, he could figure out what else the car could do. The dome started to recede so Kevin could pull his arm in and close the roof of the car. As soon as he was fully enclosed in the car and was about to drive away, two things happened. The first was that he noticed the kid had moved towards the front of the car blocking Kevin's only escape route. The second was that a call was coming in on one of the many screens in the car. Kevin was going to just ignore the call but it was on some kind of automatic response. Surprisingly, on the other side of the screen was an old man in a suit, and not the evil boss looking kind of old man in a suit. No, this man had a sort of kind and calming face. If he was surprised to see Kevin he sure didn't show it. "Ok, I'll bite. Who are you and where's Robin?" Kevin realized that must've been the kid's name. "Robin's a little preoccupied at the moment. Can I take a message?" Was his response, but before the old man could say anymore Kevin hung up. 'That takes care of one problem, now for the other' he thought. While he was talking to the old man, he was examining the buttons and predicted that some of the buttons had to be for weapons, he just had to figure out which did what. 'Hopefully I have missiles, I can break down the wall behind me turning two dead end alleys into one non dead end alleyway' thats when he noticed there was a glove box. He opened it and to his surprise there was a manual. "Go figure." He said aloud. After about a minute of skimming, he found what he wanted. Missiles. He pressed the button and Two missile launchers erected from the rear of the car, while inside the car, the steering wheel turned into a targeting controller. Moments later, Kevin was driving through Gotham City towards Ben's location, which Kevin could see because he put the plumbers badge on the center console arm rest, where Kevin also noticed cup holders. 'Man,' thought Kevin, 'they think of everything'.

Thanks to the speed of the car, and the fact the Ben happened to be flying his way, Kevin was able to meet Ben by nightfall in a small town in Iowa, called Pittsdale. Kevin was right below Ben's plumber signal so he fired a rocket into the sky near Ben. That of course, got his attention, but not in a good way. Ben seemed to have recognized the design of the vehicle and thought Batman was in there. He flew down and was about to freeze the car, when the roof opened revealing Kevin. Ben became tangible again and transformed back into his human form. "Kevin!"

"Good to see you to." Kevin replied seeing the happy expression on Ben's face. "We shouldn't stay here in the open though. I kind of stole this car and I haven't checked to see if there's a tracker on it.

"Right. I passed a garage about a mile back, it seemed to be abandoned."

"Ok. I'll go there and work on the car, you go get us some food, and we'll catch up when you get there." And with that our two heroes went their separate ways.

Moments later, 5 figures materialized out of thin air.

"The signal came from around here. Spread out and find him." Said Batman, and as though his word was law, the other four figures silently and quickly spread out while Batman stayed where he was, examining the area. Almost as soon as he was alone his communicator started buzzing. "Master Bruce, I'm afraid I have some bad news." Came the old butler's voice when he answered. "What is it Alfred?"

"While young master Damien was returning from a bank robbery, somebody stole the Batmobile."

"Were you able to track it?"

"We only got as far Pittsdale, Iowa. The signal disappeared a few moments ago."

"I'll take care of it. Keep me posted."

"Yes sir." After that Batman switched back to the Justice League frequency. "Be on the look out for the Batmobile."

"Why are we looking for the Batmobile?" Asked a female voice.

"Someone stole it. This was as far as we were able to get as far as a location."

"Roger that." Said the voice of Green Lantern.

Once the signal cut out, Batman's communicator began buzzing again. "What is it now Alfred?"

"I did some investigating and I believe I found where the Batmobile might be hiding."

"Where?"

"There's an abandoned garage about a mile west of you. It's also the only abandoned building in the area."

"Right. Let me know if anything else pops up."

"Yes sir." And with that he once again switched his communicator to the Justice League frequency. "J'ohnn, I need you to teleport me on top of the roof of a garage a mile west of my current location." A moment later a white light surrounded him.

Kevin had finished removing the tracker several minutes ago and was currently reading the manual waiting for Ben to return with food. He was startled however when a black figure came crashing through the skylight. "You stole my car." Before anything else could be said Batman threw a batarang right at Kevin's face. Kevin reacted quickly though and absorbed the material of the car. The batarang hit him just as he finished covering his body in the near indestructible material. Batman tossed a smoke bomb on the ground and jumped behind some old crates. He then activated his comm. link. "Green Lantern, Wonder Woman converge on to my location. Hawkman, Hawkgirl keep looking for the manta ray creature." Just as he finished speaking, Kevin landed in front of him. Kevin then turned both his hands into maces and attempted to land a hit on Batman. Batman, being the skilled martial artist that he his, was able to dodge and parry all of Kevin's attacks. After about a minute, Kevin began to tire and Batman was able to put him on the defensive until his allies arrived. Green Lantern was the first to arrive and put a brick wall between the two heroes. Batman visibly relaxed as he put his arms under his cape, allowing it to hide his entire body. "Stand down." Said Green Lantern. Kevin got out of his fighting stance and turned his hands back into hands, he did not, however, depower. That's when Wonder Woman barged through the wall Kevin had his back towards. She immediately unsheathed her sword and drew her shield. Kevin wasn't sure how much longer he could stall until Ben came to his rescue. He was contemplating how to escape, luckily, however, he didn't need to because it was at that moment that Ben, in the form of Cannonbolt, having received Kevin's S.O.S., came bursting through the main garage car door and rammed into Green Lantern, who dropped his wall in favor of blocking the oncoming attack. His shield that he put up however did nothing to stop the attack as Cannonbolt broke right through it and slammed into Green Lantern causing him to smash into the ground. He then made a quick right turn and aimed for Batman. At the same time, Kevin turned both his hands into swords and began a one on one fight with Wonder Woman. Batman was able to dodge the yellow ball several times before Ben gave up trying to hit him in favor of blind siding Wonder Woman. Kevin took the opportunity to turn his hands into hammers and then once again engaging in a fight with Batman. Wonder Woman was knocked unconscious after being hit several times by Cannonbolt, who then once again tried hitting Batman. Batman, realizing he was now outnumbered and outgunned decided to escape through the hole he originally entered in the hopes of buying enough time to contact reinforcements. As Batman was rising to the roof, Kevin turned his hands into ramp for Cannonbolt. Cannonbolt crashed through the ceiling, just missing Batman. The debris from the new hole however did hit Batman, knocking him off balance and allowing Cannonbolt to finally hit him. Ben then rolled through the hole he created landing back in the garage. He then transformed into his human self before he and Kevin both jumped in the batmobile and drove away.

Moments later, in yet another alley, Gwen began to wake up. "Ugh. What hit me?" She asked as she sat up and moved her hand to her head. "Vilgax!" She shouted suddenly remembering what had happened. She rocketed to her feet as the memories came back to her. The last thing she remembered was fighting against Vilgax with Ben and Kevin. She saw Vilgax knock Kevin out before doing the same to her. "Kevin." She whispered. Immediately she ran out of the alley only to find she was in Washington D.C. 'How'd I get here?' She wondered. She then noticed a building she didn't recognize. The letters towards the roof read The Hall of Justice. 'That's strange.' She thought as she decided to investigate it. When she arrived it became clear that the building was used as some kind of museum. 'Must be some kind of tourist attraction.' She thought as she noticed the sheer number of people in and surrounding the building. Ultimately, she decided to enter the building and see what all the fuss was about. She was surprised to say the least when she was finally able to get inside of the building and saw the seven giant gold statues opposite the main entrance. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian ManHunter, and Cyborg. These were the names of the seven founding members of the Justice League. "The Justice League." She said before pausing. "Never heard of it."

"You've never heard of the Justice League?" Asked a woman who happened to be nearby and heard Gwen's statement. "How's that even possible?" She asked.

"I guess you could say I'm not really from around here." Gwen replied, beginning to realize she was in an alternate Universe.

"So you're an alien who's new to Earth?"

"Yeah, you could say that."

"Still, that's kind of strange. The Justice League has been on several missions in space that weren't exactly low profile."

"I'm from a small back water planet. We don't really get much other planetary news."

"If you don't mind me asking, what planet are you from?"

"Not at all. I'm from a planet called Anodyne. And my name's Gwen by the way. Also, what are you wearing?"

"I guess you wouldn't know. I'm Black Canary. I'm a member of the Justice League, and this is my super suit."

"So you're a hero? That's really good news actually."

"Why's that?"

"I haven't actually been entirely honest."

Black Canary stiffened at this. "What do you mean."

"Well…" Before Gwen had time to explain however there was an explosion and a loud crashing sound that came from what sounded like a room on the other side of the wall. Black Canary ran through the door between Superman's statued feet. Gwen decided to chase after as well in the hopes of stopping whatever was happening. "Star Sapphire?" Asked Black Canary, who then turned towards Gwen noticing she had followed her. "What are you doing here? You need to get out here, get to safety." Before anything else could be said though, Star sapphire shot a violet beam of energy towards Black Canary, who hadn't noticed the oncoming attack since she was still looking at Gwen. "No!" Shouted Gwen who did notice the attack. Her hands glowed pink and fired towards Black Canary. Black Canary's eyes widened at the sudden attack, beginning to think that Gwen was a villain and that's what she meant by not being honest before. Star Sapphire's attack reached Black Canary before Gwen could save her. The attack sent her flying against the wall and knocking her out. Star Sapphire then turned to Gwen and shot a blast of energy at her as well. Gwen saw this coming however and created a shield with one of her hands just in time. "I really wish Ben and Kevin were here right now." She whispered under her breath. Gwen then shot several energy tendrils using her other hand, which bended around the shield, and raced towards the villain. Star Sapphire avoided all but one of the tendrils which wrapped around her leg. Gwen dropped her shield and fired a blast of energy towards her opponent. Star Sapphire shot energy at the tendril breaking it of it's grip on her she was then knocked back a few feet by the energy blast. Black Canary then moved in her unconscious state. Star Sapphire Realized that Black Canary could wake up at any moment and she would then be outnumbered. Star Sapphire decided to make a strategic retreat, so she fired a beam of energy towards the ceiling above Gwen and, while Gwen was distracted with not getting crushed, Star Sapphire fled through the hole she originally created. Meanwhile, Gwen had created a dome shield to protect her from the ruble. She then expanded her shield so that when she dropped her shield the ruble wouldn't land on her. Afterwards, she was about to check on Black Canary when a white flash caught her attention. It was Green Lantern coming to apprehend the violet lantern. Surprisingly however, the violet villain was no where to be seen. "Who are you and what did you do to Black Canary?" He demanded. "I can explain." She began, before being cut off by a beam of green energy from the hero. She once again reacted in time and raised another shield. "Ok, that's it. I've had enough of this!" She exclaimed before beginning a teleportation spell. "Abeo Exorior!" And with that Gwen disappeared from the Hall of Justice and reappeared in the alley she originally woke up in. 'I have to find Ben and Kevin.' Gwen thought. 'I can only hope that they came to this world too.' She continued as she pulled out her plumbers badge. She felt immediate relief as she that they were both in this world with her, but even better than that, they were together. "Ben, Kevin. This is Gwen, can you hear me?" She asked into her badge. Nothing. "Ben! Kevin! Do you copy?" Still nothing. She was going to teleport to their location, but they were moving way too fast for her to get a lock on their location. She would just have to wait until they stopped moving. It was at that exact moment that her stomach grumbled. 'Well, guess I have something to do to past the time at least.' She thought as she headed out of the alley. But then she realized something. The Justice League would be hunting her down now, with a shoot first ask questions never mentality.

"This day is full of surprises." Said Batman. "First a creature that appears and disappears in a flash of energy. Then a man that can absorb solid matter and can shape his body to form weapons. These two seem to be connected somehow, oh and they stole my car. Now there's a girl who uses some kind of magic and use energy like Green Lantern except she doesn't seem to have a power ring. Oh, and apparently she's an alien from a planet we've never heard of. As of right now she doesn't seem to be related to the other two but the coincidence is too high to be overruled right now. Am I forgetting anything?" He asked to the other founding members, who had gathered for a meeting to discuss the situation. "Yes. What about that weird yellow wrecking ball thing? It seemed alive." Said Wonder Woman. "Could be another creature?" Asked Flash. "It's possible." Said Batman. "The way it stopped attacking me and then attacked Wonder Woman. I don't believe it was some kind of weapon, especially since I don't think they had time to build something like that." "Do we have any idea what the girl wanted from the Hall of Justice?" Asked Superman, who didn't like the idea of another rogue alien, especially one that could use magic. "As of right now we have no idea as to the goals of any of them." Said Batman. "Yea, for one thing," said Cyborg, "the manta ray creature didn't attack you until you attack it. Secondly, it seems almost as though the second guy only stole the Batmobile to get to his ally. Not that he can exactly just return the car now. Thirdly, after looking over security footage from the Hall of Justice it appears that the girl was actually trying to help Black Canary and stop Star Sapphire, that is until GL arrived and attacked her. She also didn't retaliate against GL, she just ran away." "Cy makes a good point." Said Flash. "As of right now I don't think I'm entirely convinced they are criminals." "I'll keep monitoring the situation." Said Batman. "The rest of you go back to your cities. I'll call if anything comes up." And with that, all seven heroes left the room.

Gwen had found a few clothing stores in a not so nice part of town. She bought a new top, pants, a hat, and glasses. She only hoped it would be enough to keep the League of her tail long enough for her to get to Ben and Kevin. They needed to get home to stop Vilgax. For all they knew Vilgax had already enslaved Earth. She just had to keep her mind off the negative and focus on the here and now. She then checked her Plumbers badge and noticed that the boys had finally stopped moving. 'Finally!' She then went into the nearest alley and performed the same teleportation spell she used before to bring her to Ben and Kevin's location.

"Why are we in Metropolis again?" Asked Kevin, as he and Ben were sitting on a bench outside an alley where they parked the Batmobile. "Because this is the home of Superman. I saw the statue on my way to Mt. Rushmore. After realizing that we're in an alternate universe I thought we could enlist the help of this world's hero." Replied Ben. "And why can't you just use one of the aliens in your watch to bring us home?" "Firstly, because as of right now the only alien I can turn into that might be able to help us is Alien X. And if I were to transform it would give our locations away to the guys that attacked me twice now, and I can't exactly fight them as Alien X." "Alright, fine. I see your point, but how are even suppose to find this guy?" "I….haven't actually gotten that far yet." Kevin face palmed. It was at that moment that a flash of pink light caught their attention. "What was that?" Asked Ben. "You don't think…" Before Kevin could finish replying, Gwen had walked out of the alley they had parked the Batmobile in. "Gwen!" They shouted in unison as they stood and raced to hug Gwen. "Missed you too guys." She said as she reciprocated the hug. "So I guessed you two figured out we're not on our world anymore?" She asked. "Yeah." Said Ben, "Is that why you changed?" "It's a long story. I trust you two didn't cause any trouble?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow almost knowing their answer already. "About that," said Kevin as he raised an arm to rub the back of his head. "Is that why you changed?" Asked Ben. Gwen decided to change the subject. "Why are you guys here anyway?" "Ben thought we could enlist the help of this world's hero." Said Kevin. "You mean heroes?" Asked Gwen. "They formed a team called the Justice League. So far I only know about Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian ManHunter, Cyborg and Black Canary." "That's not good." Thought Kevin. "What did you two do?" Asked Gwen. "Nothing!" Claimed Ben, "Well, I did nothing. Kevin stole Batman's car." "So we've all had run ins with them already, and not in a good way." Said Gwen. "Seems that way." Added Kevin. "So now what?" "Well," Started Gwen, before being cut off by Ben. "First things first. We need a place to call home, somewhere I can transform without the League being able to track me. Or anyone else for that matter, we don't need another Vilgax situation." Then, at the name of Vilgax all three heroes stiffened. "Oh no." Said Kevin. "Ok. New plan." Said Ben. We're going to get in the Batmobile, Kevin's going to drive to Mt. Rushmore, while I transform into Alien X and see if I can't get us home. Kevin wait until I transform for us to leave." "Right." Said the other two heroes as the three of them headed for the car. Ben then transformed into Alien X right before Kevin drove off towards Mt. Rushmore.

Meanwhile, back with Batman. "All founding members, prepare for immediate teleportation to Metropolis. The creature energy signature just appeared a few blocks away from the Superman statue." "No need to teleport me." Said Superman, as he would get there faster and allow the other heroes to arrive quicker if Batman didn't teleport him too. "Copy." Said Batman as he pressed another button, teleporting all six other members to the location. "There's nothing here." Said Superman, having already searched the area before the others arrived. "He must've figured out we could track his energy spikes." Said Batman. "This guy is making us look like fools!" Exclaimed a Green Lantern, not happy about the continued elusive creature. "Agreed." Said Wonder Woman. "There's nothing else we can do." Said Cyborg. "We should switch gears." Said Martian Manhunter. "We should try to locate the Batmobile. We think this creature is working with the guy that stole it, right?" "Find the Batmobile, find the creature." Simplified Superman. "You're the one who's prepared for everything. Surely You have ways of finding your car." Confirmed Green Lantern. "There is one thing that could work." Said Batman, who then pressed a button on his utility belt, causing all seven heroes to teleport back to where they came from. "Batman?" Asked Superman, not realizing what happened. "It's going to take some time." Came Batman's only explanation.

"What did you do now?!" Screamed Bellicus upon Ben's arrival. "Good to see you too Bellicus, and you too Serena." Ben said Politely in an attempt to get on their good side. "Hello Ben." Said Serena. "Do you care to explain why we're in another dimension?" "I don't understand it myself. One moment me, Gwen and Kevin were fighting Vilgax, then we were falling out of his ship, plummeting to Earth and then a portal brought us here." "It must be the Convergence." Said Bellicus. "It is that time of year." Said Serena. "What's the Convergence?" Asked Ben. "Every dimension in the known multiverse rotate around the original Universe, the universe from which every dimension was then conceived from. They move not unlike your solar system. When two dimensions, sort of line up in regards to the original universe, a sort of portal can connect the two universes, almost always connecting the two Earths. These portals are completely random and without any sense of order." Said Serena. "The problem is, that anything that goes through a portal will be unable to return back from which they came unless they go through the same portal." Said Bellicus. "That means they we can not return to our universe." Added Serena. "The only way back would be to go through another Convergence portal connecting the two universes." She continued. "The chances of a portal connecting the same two universes in one person's lifetime is almost assuredly impossible." Said Bellicus. "I'm sorry Ben, but there is nothing that we can do for you." Said Serena, "Even if we did agree to bring you back." She finished. "Well, if that's the case, then there is one more thing I'd like to ask you guys." Said Ben. "I would like to move to vote on a motion to create a new Plumbers base in this world's Mt. Rushmore. Where no one will be able to detect when I transform." Serena and

Bellicus looked at each other for but a moment. "Motion carried!" Exclaimed the three combined voices of Bellicus, Serena and Ben. "Good." Said Ben. "Now that that's settled, how about letting me leave now?" The two beings looked at each other once more. "On one condition." Said Serena. "You agree to having monthly meetings. There is so much to see and do in this new world. Serena and I are going to have so many more arguments and we're going to need you to fulfill your role as the voice of reason." Said Bellicus. "Fine. I agree." Said Ben. Then the voices combined once more, "Motion carried!" And then there was a flash of green light. Ben had transformed from this stiff sitting form of Alien X back in to his human form and began to explain to Gwen and Kevin what he just learned about everything that happened while he was Alien X. "So, how far away are we from Mt. Rushmore?" Asked Ben, after finishing his explanation. "About an hour or so." Answered Gwen. "I could get used to this car." Said Kevin, throwing his two cents in. "Well don't." Said Ben. "As soon as we have our own car we're returning it." Continued Gwen, making Kevin frown.

Meanwhile, back at the Watchtower, Batman finally hit a breakthrough. "All founding members report to the Watchtower immediately." After about 20 minutes, Flash was the last of the seven members to arrive at the Watchtower. "Now that you're all here," said Batman as he glared at Flash, "we can begin." "Were you able to track your car?" Asked Wonder Woman. "No." Said Batman, "But I think I have a lead on where the people who stole it are going." He then activated one of the monitors which now had a map of the U.S. "This is a timeline of the energy spikes we've picked up." Dots then appeared at Metropolis, Mt. Rushmore, Pittsdale, Pittsdale again, and then Pittsdale a third time, then again in Metropolis, and then the last dot appeared about an hour East of Mt. Rushmore, assuming they're in the Batmobile driving at top speeds. "This map, as well as our encounters with these people has led to a couple of conclusions. The first being that I believe they know we can track whatever is causing the energy spikes, which is why the past few times we were unable to find them when they activated whatever caused the spikes. And the other thing, is that I believe they are going back to Mt. Rushmore. That's why I called you all here. If we leave now we should be able to beat them there." "So what's our plan of attack?" Asked Superman. "Superman, Green Lantern and Flash will fight the creature. Wonder Woman and J'ohnn will fight the guy who stole my car. Cyborg and I will provide back up where needed." "What about the girl?" Asked J'ohnn. "Yeah, what if we're wrong and she actually is working with them?" Added GL. "I'll tell you if it turns out she is with them." Said Batman, as the other members gave each other uncertain looks.

30 minutes later, Ben, Gwen, and Kevin finally arrived at Mt. Rushmore. "We're here." Said Gwen. "Good. I had to make some tweaks for our base and there's only three ways in. There's only one entrance for cars though, we have to go to the old service entrance on the cliff." Said Ben. Just as the Batmobile was about to reach the cliff side, a green energy dome encased the car. Then, through the internal speakers of the car came Cyborg's voice. "Come out with your hands up," then a pause before, "I've always wanted to say that." Then, all seven heroes formed a circle around the Batmobile. "Now what?" Asked Kevin. "I don't think we have a choice." Said Gwen. "You're right." Said Ben. "We're just going to have to fight them." Kevin decided. "What? No!" Said Gwen. "We know they're the good guys now." Said Ben. "And we're not bad guys, so we are not going to fight them!" Added Gwen. "Fine." Agreed Kevin. "But if the shoot first, all bets are off." He added. Ben shook his head in agreement. Leaving Gwen to sigh in defeat.

Meanwhile, outside the car, the Justice League were starting to get impatient. "Can we just rip the car open now?" Asked Wonder Woman. "Not an option." Said Batman. "After the debacle with Superman I built all my vehicles out of a near indestructible material. Anything shy of a nuclear bomb wouldn't even dent the car." "Luckily," Said Cyborg, "I was able to regain remote access. Say the word and I'll open the roof." Before anything else could be said however, they roof did open, revealing the three figures stepping out of the car, they did not, however, raise their hands. "Looks like the girl is working with them." Said Flash. "Superman and Flash handle the kid with brown hair. Wonder Woman and Green Lantern handle the girl. Cyborg, J'ohnn, you're with me." Answered Batman. "Can I fight them yet?" Whispered Kevin. "Not yet." Answered Ben. Then Superman flew towards Ben. Wonder Woman went to lasso Gwen. And Batman lunged at Kevin, while Cyborg turned his arm into a cannon. "Now!" Shouted Gwen, who then raised a dome of pink energy. Kevin absorbed the Batmobile and turned his hands into hammers. Ben slammed down the core of the Omnitrix as he had raised it and selected an alien before he, Gwen, and Kevin left the car. "Diamondhead!" Shouted Ben, after the iconic green light faded. Superman halted in his flight surprised by the green light. Ben however was unable to take advantage of the opportunity as he was too busy arguing with himself. "Stupid Omnitrix! I wanted Humungousaur!" Flash, who was also surprised by light, quickly got over it and ran at Diamondhead with incredible speed. As he punched Diamondhead, however, he realized where the name came from. He broke his hand from the impact of the punch! Superman, seeing his team mate and friend in pain, was able to get out of his stupor and once again charged at Diamondhead. This time it was Ben's turn to be surprised however as Superman tackled him to the ground some hundred feet away from where he was standing. Superman then proceed to punch Diamondhead several times before firing a blast of heat vision. The heat vision, however, reflected off the diamond skin and hit Superman in his eyes, blinding him temporarily. Ben took advantage of this and proceeded to flip him and Superman over, leaving Superman on the ground underneath him, and punching him several times. Suddenly, however, a red tornado started circling around the two figures. The wind speeds raised rapidly and began to lift Diamondhead off the ground. As soon as Diamondhead was off of Superman, Flash moved Superman away from the effects of the tornado and then proceeded to continue running in circles. Once Diamondhead has significantly high off the ground, Flash stopped running and the tornado dissipated causing Diamondhead to fall towards the ground. Ben reacted quickly however and slammed the Omnitrix symbol that was on his chest. Another flash of green light. "Cannonbolt!" Shouted Ben as he turned himself into a yellow ball. Flash was not stunned as much this time however and reacted quickly spinning his arms really fast and shooting twin tornado blasts at the yellow ball slamming it into a nearby tree.

Meanwhile, Gwen was struggling to keep her dome up from the combined attacks of Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. Wonder Woman was slashing the dome with her sword and would then try to punch the dome with her other hand before continuing her slashing. Green Lantern was firing and unrelenting beam of energy that seemed to get stronger every time he repeated what sounded like a mantra. Green Lantern decided to up the power of his beam one more time. "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light!" And with that the beam seemed to glow an even brighter green as it's intensity grew. And finally, Gwen's shield had broken. The multiple power ups to his attack however left him a little winded, leaving Wonder Woman to fight Gwen by herself. Gwen created multiple energy tendrils from both her hands and aimed at Wonder Woman. All the tendrils from her right hand banged to wrap themselves around Wonder Woman's left arm and leg. Wonder Woman, however, was able to break the tendrils that aimed for her arm that she was using to fight with her sword, the rest of the tendrils from Gwen's left hand, however, managed to wrap themselves around Wonder Woman's right leg. Before Wonder Woman had a chance to free herself however, Gwen lifted her into the air and slammed her into the ground several times before spinning around, gaining momentum, and dematerializing the tendrils, causing Wonder Woman to go flying for a few hundred feet before crashing into the back side of Mt. Rushmore creating a crater.

Kevin, however, wasn't fairing too well against the combined fighting skills of Cyborg, the Martian Manhunter, and Batman. Sure they couldn't physically hurt Kevin thanks to the material of the Batmobile that he absorbed, but Kevin wasn't getting any hits in either. In fact, he hadn't managed to hit any hero once, whereas all three heroes got shots in on him. If he didn't do something quick, he might just lose this fight. Sure enough, the Martian left himself open to a kick to his left side after missing a punch a Kevin's face. Thanks to the initial stun of the kick, Kevin was able to overwhelm his opponent and hit him a few more times before being interrupted from a blast from Cyborg's energy cannon. "Cyborg. Hit him with your sonic cannon! With any luck he won't be immune to sonic vibrations."

Back with Ben however, he had transformed into Xlr8 and had got into a race with the Flash. It was becoming apparent however that Flash was much much faster then Xlr8, so Ben had to change tactics. He began to try and get Flash to trip over his tail, so he could punch him with his claws. Flash however was doing a pretty good job of dodging the tail, until Ben finally got a good swing in. By the time he knocked Flash out though, Superman had finally regained his sight and once again sped towards his opponent. Ben then transformed once more. "Big Chill!" He whisper shouted and then turned intangible, causing Superman to fly right through him and turning him into a solid block of ice. Superman quickly shattered the ice however and proceeded to once again fire his heat vision at his enemy, but Big Chill just remained intangible. Deciding to try and end this quickly and help his cousin and friend, he slammed down on his Omnitrix one more time and this time four spikes popped out. "Ultimate Big Chill!" Ben shouted after upgrading his form. He then blew a breath of fire that was so hot it froze Superman, and this time Superman couldn't break out so easily. That was when he heard Kevin scream. He saw Cyborg attack him with a sonic cannon. Ben reacted quickly a flew towards Cyborg and proceeded to freeze him in a block of ice too. Kevin was winded and was unable to fight off Batman and the Martian Manhunter. Seeing that the Martian was going to be the most difficult for Kevin to stop, Ben started with him. J'ohnn had had enough however. Four of his team mates were down, making this a three way one on one fight. He had to act quickly or these three villains would be the first to take down the Justice League. His eyes began to glow red! He was trying to psychically take down Ben. Unknown to the Martian however, the Omnitrix prevented all forms of psychic attack on the user. This left the Martian open for an attack, and Ben took it. "Green Lantern, we need to retreat." Said Batman after noticing J'ohnn fall to the ground. Green Lantern did not respond however as Gwen had just knocked him unconscious. Batman spared only a second to glare at his opponents. Next time they would not be so lucky. He then pressed a button on his utility belt and the seven heroes vanished in a white light. Ben and Kevin smiled to themselves knowing that they just beat the Justice League. Earth's mightiest heroes. Gwen however, was not so happy. She knew what this victory would mean. The Justice League would now officially label them as criminals, if they didn't already. "You idiots!" She shouted at the two males. "Do have any idea what you have just done!" "Um, singlehandedly defeat the Justice League?" Asked Kevin. "Yes!" Shouted Gwen. "Do you know what that means?" Asked Gwen. "That we're stronger then the Justice League?" Replied Kevin. "No Kev." Said Ben, realizing where Gwen was going. "It means that they officially think we're the bad guys." "But they attacked us first." Said Kevin. "Because we didn't actually surrender. Kevin, you stole their car and already fought them once. Ben fought them twice. And they think I attacked one of their allies in their own headquarters!" Retaliated Gwen. The realization finally hit Kevin. He was once again labeled a criminal. "So now what?" Asked Kevin. "They must've of picked up when Ben transformed out of Alien X and realized we were coming here." Said Ben. "But they don't know why." Continued Gwen. "They might come back and try to look for us." "But they won't find us." Said Ben. "Firstly, our base is completely off the grid, completely untraceable. Secondly, The outer walls of the base prevent people capable of intangibility from entering our base. And finally, they don't know that this is our base." "There is one problem though," said Gwen. "They were able to hack into the speakers of the car." "So they might be able to hear us." Finished Kevin. "Once we're inside I can take a look. Make sure they can't hear us, and if they can I'll disable it and try to figure out what they might've heard." "Good." Said Ben. "Then let's get inside before they come back with reinforcements."

Once everyone had recuperated from the fight, there was another meeting. "Well," said Superman, "that was humiliating." "Agreed." Said J'ohnn. "So what are we going to do about it?" Asked Wonder Woman. "Cyborg and I will return to Mt. Rushmore. See if we can't figure out what they wanted or where they are now. The rest of you get some more rest and be ready for another fight. Right now, those three are our top priority. Anyone or group that can and will defeat the Justice League must be contained." "What's the plan for when we do encounter them again?" Asked Cyborg. "Superman, J'ohnn, and I will deal with the shapeshifter. Cyborg and Wonder Woman deal with the guy who stole my car. Flash and GL will deal with the girl." And with no other questions, the seven heroes left the meeting room.

"I finished going through the car." Said Kevin, meeting the other two teens in the main ops center. "I completely removed all remote features and found out that they didn't hack in to hear what we were saying." "Well," Said Gwen, "at least there's some good news." "And I've got even better news." Said Kevin. "What is it?" Asked Ben, looking away from the security camera feeds. "Thanks to them hacking the car, I was able to trace it back, and well, long story short, we can listen in on them, even when they're not talking in to their communicators." "That is good news." Said Gwen, "Except if they detect it, they'll have even more reason to think of us as criminals." "Hold that thought." Said Ben, "They're back." And sure enough, Batman and Cyborg had appeared on the monitor. "Kevin? You said we could hear what they're saying?" Asked Gwen. Kevin nodded his head and began typing on the computer.

Cyborg and transformed his arm into a scanner and began trying to see if he could find out what the three villains were doing at Mt. Rushmore and trying to see if he could find any traces of them. "Anything?" Asked Batman after about 10 minutes. "Nothing." Said Cyborg, "I can't detect any reason for why they were here, besides the obvious fact that this is a famous land marking, not that they appeared to have done anything to it. What about you?" "I tried to follow the Batmobile tire tracks, but they seem to have disappeared over here. Are you still linked into the Batmobile?" "No. They must've found my hack and locked me out. I'd have to be near it again to establish a connection before I could even try to hack in again." "So this is a dead end." Said Batman, as if ruling the case closed. "The only thing I might be able to do, to at least give us some idea of where they could be, is figure out how far they possibly could have gone since we teleported away figuring they traveled at the Batmobile's top speed." "Don't bother. At this point, they could potentially be anywhere in the United States. Another 20 minutes and they could be in Mexico or Canada." " So for now, we're stuck." Batman then pressed a button on his utility belt and the two heroes disappeared in a flash of white light.

Over the course of the next few days, the Justice League and our three heroes were found busily preparing for the next time they faced each other. Ben and Kevin had begun to build their cars and were putting the finishing touches on the technology before they could activate them. Gwen kept busy learning about the new world, all the heroes and villains in it, as well as the magic that was unique to this world. Meanwhile most of the league were business as usual, while keeping an eye out for the three villains just incase they happened to be causing trouble in their respective cities. Superman had spent the last couple of days getting word out to the other superheroes that there were three new villains on the scene. Batman had made files on the three villains a couple days ago and was now programming them into the training program, so the league could practice fighting them until the time came to fight the real versions. One thing bothered Batman about the shapeshifter though, why did he insist on shouting (what he could only assume were the names of each form) after he changed, and what was the deal with the one he called Ultimate? Another problem Batman thought of was, what if he could transform into other more powerful forms? And just how many different forms did he have? Another thought that kept nagging in the back of his mind though, was why couldn't he find any prior history of the three of them. It was almost as though they just appeared out of nowhere. He gave the task to Cyborg and the Question of tracking down their real names and their histories.

They finally hit a miracle. After a week from it being stolen, Batman was able to locate the Batmobile. It was in Gotham City. The same block it was taken from. Even though this seemed odd, and there was in no way any guarantee that they were still there, Batman wasn't taking any chances. He immediately contacted the league and told them all to be ready in exactly 5 minutes.

"Think he'll show up?" Asked Gwen, standing on top of a roof over looking the Batmobile. "He'll be here." Said Ben, who then looked down the other side of the building to look at Kevin who was waiting in his car for them to return. As soon as he finished speaking, Batman materialized in the alley across of them. He immediately tried to locate the three villains. Sure enough, he found them. He immediately fired his grapnel gun and zoomed off towards the roof. Ben and Gwen saw this however and immediately ran towards the other end of the roof. Gwen had created a platform to lower them to the street. Just as they got on Batman had thrown to Batarangs and ran after them. Ben dodged one of the batarangs but the other one lodged itself in Gwen's shoulder before shocking her into unconsciousness. The platform disappeared and the two teens fell towards the street. Ben reacted quickly and activated the Omnitrix. "Stinkfly!" Ben then used his arms to grab Gwen and lower her to the ground. Kevin had saw them falling and jumped out of the car. He took Gwen from Ben's arms and planed her in the car. "Get out of here. I'll catch up to you guys!" Ordered Ben. Kevin then got back into the car and sped off. Batman then landed in front of Ben. "You'll pay for that." Stated Ben before firing globs of goo at Batman. Batman jumped out of the way, throwing down a smoke pellet when he landed. He then ran behind a nearby parked car and pressed a button on his utility belt. Ben flew into the air and began to try to catch up to Gwen and Kevin. He didn't get very far however, before a giant green hand grabbed Ben and plunged him towards the street. Ben turned his eyes to see what happened. There he saw the seven members of the Justice League. Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter were floating in the air, Superman and the Martian's eyes were glowing red and orange respectively, Wonder Woman had her sword and shield drawn, Flash, Cyborg and Batman were standing in the street, Flash was charging his body with lighting ready to chase after him, Cyborg pointed his sonic cannon at him, and Batman had pulled out three more Batarangs waiting to be thrown. Due to the energy fist around him, Ben couldn't transform. So, he did the only logical thing he could do. He aimed each of his eyes at a different hero, first he aimed at Green Lantern, then Superman, then Flash, and he pointed his last eye at Cyborg. He missed all of his targets, but Green Lantern did retract his energy hand in favor of a bubble shield. Ben then slammed down his Omnitrix and transformed once more. "Ghostfreak!" He shouted in an eery whisper. The heroes didn't get a good look at him before he turned invisible and flew off. Superman and Cyborg however were able to track him thanks to his heat signature and J'ohnn could track him by focusing on Ben's thoughts. He might not be able to read, influence or fight him psychically but he could at least locate him. Once Ben had gained a little bit of distance however, he transformed into Jetray and sped off, making the heroes lose their ability to track Ben. Once Ben had caught up to Gwen and Kevin he transformed into his human self and joined them in the car.

"Well, at least you have your car back now." Offered the Flash. Batman just glared at him. "Why would they risk giving it back to you though?" Asked Superman. "Maybe because they have their own car now?" Shrugged GL. "How'd they get another car though?" Asked Wonder Woman, "Weren't we scanning all cameras around the world? Wouldn't we have noticed if they bought or stole a car?" "Not necessarily." Said Batman. "I just scanned a list of all stolen cars in the past 2 weeks, and none of them match the description of the car they were driving." Said Cyborg. "So either they stole a car and no one reported it, or they bought one without us noticing?" Asked J'ohnn. "Is it possible the shapeshifter has another human form that wouldn't of triggered any alerts?" Asked Flash. "No." Said Cyborg, "No cars were sold in the last two weeks matching the description of their car." "So if the car wasn't stolen." Said GL. "And the car was bought." Said Flash. "Then where did the car come from?" Asked Superman. "And how did they get it?" Asked Wonder Woman.
