Ben Tennyson had always been a normal kid; a naughty kid and an energetic kid that loved to play pranks and play games.
But this all changed the day he found the Omnitrix and started fighting aliens. His life flipped into overdrive and the last week had been the most adventurous time of his life.
He had thought nothing could top it off but then Naruto appeared and Ben learned of the greater world that was out of his wild imagination.
In just three days the man had transformed into a athletic person with good fighting sense as he had actually fought in battles against various foes within these three days while his body had been forced to go through different movements to create instinctual reactions.
Before Naruto, Ben had only fought like 10 battles or so and those had been much easier except the ones with the Hunters but now he fought against ten opponents and lost all the fights.
Ben may not be smart but he understood things with game terminology and stocked up as his levelling up from experience.
He was so looking forward to becoming the hero of earth like those comic books.
"Man you are one ugly alien. Did your momma abandon you at birth?" Ben said in a teasing tone as he flew around the foe while looking at him carefully
He had learned not to underestimate anyone as they could be hiding some powers or equipment.
The target was a humanoid mole man who was dwarf sized and wore miner hat along with having thick robotic arms.
He had attacked the local bank through the ground with his oversized drill machine that had caused a giant hole in the road and used explosives to destroy the bank before going inside to collect the money.
Ben realized this wasn't the target they had been looking for but he was still an enemy.
Hearing his words, the alien looked at him and started speaking angrily as he threw out bombs but Ben easily dodged the attack and laughed at his futile attempts.
"Come on man, you could atleast give me some challenge."
"Grrr" The mole man growled as he operate the machine beside him and Ben realized it was an oversized vacuum machine
With a smile he started it up and Ben felt the pull that almost pulled him in so he had to push in the opposite direction while the mole man decided to continue with his business.
"Oh no, you are not going anywhere or my ass is toast." Ben muttered as he hoped no one saw this blunder and locked on to the target before shooting a mana beam at the machine causing it to malfunction before trapping the Mole man inside a mana orb
'Fighting feels so relaxing now after seeing so many other powerful aliens. I should probably ask Master to take me to the Lake and find the Kraken for its dna.'
"At least this one was taken out without much fanfare. Hey Ben, you planning to add this one to the collection." Gwen arrived with Max and turned to look at Ben in that form, which would be hers if she just asked
'How unfair that he gets it so easy while i have to choose between losing my humanity or not?'
"Hell to the no, this guy is too weak and ugly. One combination i am never willing to take." Ben denied furiously the thought
"Let me take care of it" Max took out the portable null void gun and shot which caused the energy ball to disappear into a portal
"What is that thing?" Ben asked as he floated around Max looking at it curiously
"It is called the Null void projector and it sends any target to a different dimension, which us used by Plumbers as a galactic prison. I wouldn't have used it if the alien hadn't just harmed humans without concern. His actions were breach of law and according to the guidelines he deserves time in the null void since this is an illegal entry."
"What if it had been legal entry?" Gwen asked
"We would have to pass him to the authorities of his species after making sure he serves a sentence."
"What if he was someone important? How would that affect this situation?"
"That is a topic for another time as it's very complicated. Just remember that decisions can be changed according to circumstances."
Gwen understood that even on a galactic scale those things didn't change. It was very much similar to their planet in that case.
"Where's Ben?" Gwen asked as she looked around and face palmed as she saw him flying around people
"I am your new hero people, call me Legion as I am many" Ben announced as the people recoded with their phones and changed into a Ghost freak before changing into XLR8
"See ya" Ben disappeared with those words leaving a crowd of shocked humans that were just feeling like it was a dream with that giant drill machine and the aliens
"Teacher did you see what he did?" Gwen complained to Naruto as he sat atop a boulder while his new slaves Kraab and Sixsix sat on his shoulders after being miniaturized
Naruto had actually no need for them but thought they might be useful for this group or maybe a good gift to his children.
They were powerful hunters of the lower ranges so not so bad and there in fighting was the only reason for their loss against Ben.
Ben would still lose against them even now as the duo knew how to fight Anodites and many other species in the universe.
"I did and it's his business if that gets him fame or infamy. Children need to enjoy their life and if Ben finds danger exciting then who am i to stop it."
"But..." Gwen stopped as she understood those words
'He doesn't care what happens as it has nothing to do with him or because of his immense power. Arrogance has led to the fall of the mighty many times, does he not understand.'
"Sometimes thinking too much only brings stress child. Learn from Ben and enjoy life who knows what can happen in the future. No one is far from death as it always walks with us."
"Naruto, what did I tell you about speaking to children?"
"She is a smart child so i find no reason to cuddle her through this period of time. Isn't that right child?"
Gwen felt his eyes focus on her with that neutral look and nodded even though she found his outlook on life very grim but he wasn't wrong.
It was logical and she agreed to his words.
"Gwen, don't get too influenced by his words." Max said as he stood beside Naruto
"He is right you know. Now go along and read some more as it won't be long before i teach you some spells." Naruto rubbed her tiny fragile little head that could be so easily crushed
Gwen didn't know what his thoughts were and nodded to his instructions as she left the adults alone for now not understanding what Max meant.
'Was grandpa acting jealous?' Gwen thought as she found Naruto very smart and collected like a professional should be unlike her grandpa
"You don't have to worry about my feelings or anything since I doubt have any for anyone."
Max sighed hearing those words as he felt that Naruto had fallen so low from his initial positive personality to this current husk.
It wasn't hard to notice the change as the Naruto from before had a smile on his face all the time that showed his charisma while the current one was like a dying sun especially since receiving some messages on the way about him nearly attempting suicide before stopping at the last moment.
"Naruto those words hurt me a lot so please never repeat them. Xylene would be heartbroken to hear these words as well. I know things have been going wrong for you but you have a long time to find more in life instead of existing in the past.
The past of your previous self shouldn't dictate your life choices. Won't you look at the present and the future at least once?"
"Words are quite empty you know. I have said it many times but this traitorous heart can never let go. Regardless Max take care of your things while I will take care of mine since this journey is to find myself a goal. You don't have to worry about me croaking soon since i will outlive you by at least a millennia."
"I am watching you."
"I hope not when i am visiting the loo."
"If you want I am willing"
"I will die before allowing such a thing."
"So cruel..." Max remembered the times when he would play around with Naruto like this before retiring and was trying to force out such things from him with the hope it will cause him to liven up
But there conversation came to a halt as the mountain starting shaking as shockwaves spread in the area from what sounded like explosions.
"You target has arrived and it seems he has some company." Naruto smirked as he felt the two beings looked in combat above the mountain top
One of the aliens was like the devil itself with its completely black clothing, fingers elongated into claws, devil's horns, tattered wings, and skulls on its shoulder and knee. It had the deep red Mark of Evil on its chest and on its left boot. It also wore belts around its lower torso, left leg, right upper arm and left forearm, gauze bandages around its right forearm and left hand, and a skin-tight balaclava that only reveals its mouth and red eyes.
It was one of the nightmare soldiers from the Dark part of the universe where species that thrived on misery and evil lived in their chaotic world.
It has a cunning and fiendish personality, but it also possesses an outstanding intellect. It is said that those who have stared into its two eyes, which shine a deep crimson, are mind-controlled and completely dominated by the devils mind.
On the other hand its opponent was a mutant species that transformed through the power of manliness and guts.
Written in its body were the words the spirit of manliness
It was part of the earth golem race but after going through the transformation it stood tall at 4 meters with metal covering up its rock like body. It had grey metal armor covering most its body with a purple cape on its back along with the red orb shining on its chest.
It has thick right arm while the left arm ends with a drill instead of a hand that has enough power to cut apart the hardest materials in the universe except a few.
This mutation was very rare and could happen to any specie but no one knew how it happened and why but at the moment only five of them existed.
This was Naruto's first type coming across this mutation and wondered how it will fight Ben since it won't stop a battle for anything as fighting was all it lived for while the humans down there were of no concern to it.
Ben flew to the top to see the monsters in combat which was causing the tremors on the mountain that could lead to serious damage below.
"Hey you freaks get a room" Ben locked onto them both as they attacked each other and hit them with a mana beam while getting charged automatically by the energy in the atmosphere
Bancho Golem punched the dark entity in the face causing him to crash few meters away while taking the beam head on.
Ben was choked by his actions but was horrified to see the result as it had been eaten cleanly and rock bullets came at him
There were too many to dodge so Ben made a shield in front of his body while releasing an energy bolt to the foes feet this time.
Even though the attack would have been effective in another situation but he was fighting the Bancho Golem, a being that controlled the earth beneath it and excelled in fighting.
The BG moved to the side while released a beam from its chest that crashed into Ben's barrier and sent crashing.
With Ben handled BG went towards the dark entity that had its wings damaged and its jaw was almost dislocated by the last strike.
Fortunately Ben arrived to take its attention and Dark entity got the chance to create a spell diagram for a powerful attack.
"Dark Scream" In the dark tongue the being spoke as a loud screech was heard across the region causing mass hysteria even far away while the closest beings git their heart filled with fear
"Useless, if that is your bests shot then you can die now." BG spoke for the first time after the beginning of the battle while the foe was panicking now
"Hey rock face I am not done with you." Ben appeared in the sky above them and changed into Canonbolt as he charged into BG
"Wielder of the Omnitrix an interesting challenger, come show me your guts." BG roared with his fighting spirit rising and raised his drill towards the incoming target
Both spinning in different directions at extreme speeds but none was able to get an advantage as Ben was thrown back and BG was pushed back few meters only leaving few scratches on Canonbolts shell.
"Hey friend we should work together or you will never beat him in a fight. This is the Bancho Golem, one of the most atrocious fighters of the galaxy. His hunger for combat is so bad that he would crush anything that comes in his way. He has been directly responsible for a few cities disappearing across planets." Dark Entity spoke to Ben as it slipped to his side with a sweet and kind voice
BG didn't say anything to suggest he disagreed but Ben wasn't stupid, the guy looked entirely evil. No matter his words, Ben could never trust him.
'Maybe I am just speciest.'
"Sorry but my parents told me to never go with strangers." Ben replied with a tackle to its giant body and crushing it underneath his spinning form before getting enough fuel for another attack on BG
"Your attacks are too easy to predict."
Ben heard his words before getting punched of the mountain, "Shit not again."
With that he transformed into Ghost freak as he decided to check for its weakness while invisible but the moment he got to the top, Ben felt a hand grip his face.
"Ah can i say sorry?" Ben asked innocently before he was smashed into the ground as BG's hand was glowing red from some kind of energy
The impact caused him to almost lose consciousness and was only saved by the timely intervention of the human brigade.
Gwen and Grandpa Max to the rescue along with Sixsix and Kraab and they shot at BG from the back.
The attacks barely did anything to its body but Ben was at least saved for the time being as he turned to face the new threats.
"Stop, I am here to give you a message from my leader." BG spoke as he saw Naruto at the back
"Me?" Naruto asked
"Yes, Uzumaki Naruto. You have been challenged by Bancho Leo to a one on one battle in the grand Leo arena."
Naruto was surprised that the Werelion species powerful mutant would challenge him.
"Is he sure about this?"
"Our kind knows no fear. Battles are all we live for so don't deny our request."
"2 months later i will give him beating so you can leave now just let him know to prepare his delicate heart for the beat down of the century."
"I will relay your exact words, Uzumaki." BG muttered as he started to walk away before stopping and turning to Ben
"Child, you have great power so i look forward to our next encounter and if you win you can collect my dna. Farewell."
With BG gone the group realised the dark entity had slipped away during the battle with Ben and the group.
"That was just terrible. Master please teach me how to take care of that rock face." Ben complained as he had gotten beaten very badly for the second time
