DriveMaxUltraDynamoZord bringing a new Ben 10 story.

Ben 10, or not?

Chapter 1: Meeting the Tennysons

This is me, Kyle. I'm not going to give out my last name. I basically was watching Ben 10 on my season 1 DVD, but… something very weird happened. I don't know how, or why, but I was actually traveling around with Ben, Gwen, and of course, Grandpa Max. I'll start my story off. I have blond hair, wear a red shirt with blue pants, and black shoes, I'm slender, and I like playing video games, watching TV, web surfing… all that stuff. I also like hanging out with my friends, and being with family. Your basically average 13-year old.

Kyle: "I'm just going to watch season 1 of Ben 10 through again, Mom. Nothing special."

Mom: "Okay, but don't forget. Ashley is coming to pick you up for dinner tonight."

Kyle: "I'll watch as much as I can."

Ashley's my girlfriend. She's 14. We've known each other since kindergarten for me. She was in kindergarten, too, but was always a year older than me in January. She's the coolest girl I know.

Kyle: "Hmm… Season 1, Episode 1, duh…" As soon as I plugged it in, though, the power had gone out.

Mom: "What the hell was that?"

Dad: "A power-outage!"

Kyle: "Oh no…" I hate when the power goes out. Nothing to do except play my Nintendo DS. So, Dad gave me a flashlight, and I went to my room, and played my DS there. Hours later, the power came back on. I went back up to my DVD player on the TV, and it had a vortex-like look to it instead of the menu screen.

Dad: "I'd better call the electrician or TV repairman. Hold on."

Mom: "This is definitely strange." Of course, I, loving weird things, enjoyed seeing it.

Mom: "Don't touch it, okay honey?"

Kyle: "Okay, Mom." When she left the room, though, I proceeded to touch the TV screen. I got sucked in, and I landed on my face in the dirt in front of what looked like Max Tennyson's RV.

A voice: "What was that bang?"

Another voice: "Ben, Gwen, wait here." I then heard footsteps, and crawled as fast as I could under the RV. I saw Max Tennyson's brown shoes.

Max: "There's nothing here. It was probably the wind."

What sounded like Gwen: "Good. The wind plays tricks on people, you know."

Ben: "I'm starving over here, guys!"

Max: "Help us set up camp for the night, alright?"

Ben: "No problem…"

I crawled out to the side of the RV they weren't on, and started walking out into the forest.

Max: "Hey there." I immediately froze, turned around, and said, "Hi…"

Ben: "Shy, huh?"

Max: "I'm Max Tennyson. These are my grandkids, Gwen and Ben."

Gwen and Ben: "Hi!"

Kyle: "I'm Kyle. I was, uh, just strolling by here…"

Gwen: "Oh. Were you the one that made the banging noise on the RV?"

Kyle: "Yeah. Sorry."

Ben: "It's okay."

Max: "Well, the least we could do is offer you some food. Come on."

Kyle: "Sure! I was getting hungry! Thank you, Mr. Tennyson."

Max: "We're friends here."

Ben: "Yeah, but, why so friendly so soon?"

Max: "Part of being a plumber." I knew what he meant, but I kept my mouth shut.

Kyle: "Thanks for the hospitality." I ate some of the worms he found, which weren't horribly bad, and I actually liked them a bit.

Gwen: "You like that stuff? Ew…"

Kyle: "Apparently, huh?"

Max: "I like someone who has good taste."

Kyle: "I didn't even know I liked this stuff."

A shooting star came through the sky, and landed somewhere.

Ben: "Wow! What was that?"

Kyle: "I'll check it out!" I knew it was the Omnitrix. I immediately set out in that direction, and paid no further attention to Ben and Gwen.

Gwen: "Wait! It could be dangerous!"

Max: "Hold up, Kyle!"

Ben: "It can't be that dangerous, right?"

Gwen: "There could possibly be bears out here!"

Ben: "Oh! We'd better hurry then!"

I ran until I saw a crater to my left, and slid into it. There was a pod, exactly as I remembered.

Kyle (thinking): "The Omnitrix. I'd better get this to Ben."

The pod opened up by itself, and I went to grab it, but it latched on to my arm.

Kyle: "No!! Not me!! Get off!" I pulled and tugged at it as hard as I could. It did not budge. I then groaned.

Ben: "I found him!"

Max: "Why'd you take off like that?" I climbed back up to the top of the crater.

Gwen: "And what's with that watch? You weren't wearing it before."

Kyle: "I guess… I knew what was coming from it was for Ben, and I tried to get it to him…"

Ben: "How'd you know that watch was for me?"

Kyle: "But now, it's on my wrist, and there's almost no way to remove it."

Ben: "What is it?"

Kyle: "Well, I guess I should show you." I hit the button on the front of the Omnitrix. The face popped up, and showed a shadow of Heatblast. I then hit it down, and became him.

Ben: "Whoa!"

Gwen: "Kinda cool, I'll admit…"

Max: "It turned you into an alien!" Ben and Gwen looked at him.

Max: "Well, monsters aren't real, so… what else would he be? Look at him."

Kyle (Heatblast): "Yeah, basically. And this is only one of 9 forms available on this device."

Ben: "The watch makes you turn into one of 10 different aliens? Sweet!"

Heatblast: "And this is Heatblast!" I made a fireball in my hands, and threw it between both of them.

Gwen: "But, there's a good chance the forest will be set on fire, right?"

Heatblast: "Not if I'm careful it won't."

Max: "Alright. But be careful with it. We don't know what else it does besides that."

Heatblast: "Um… of course, Mr. Tennyson."

Max: "Just call me Max."

Heatblast: "OK. Max it is."

Ben: "What else can you do as Heatblast besides throw fireballs?"

Gwen: "This is not the best place, Ben!"

Max: "Nor the best time. Come on Heatblast. Let's get back to the RV before someone sees you."

Heatblast: "You can call me Kyle. I don't care."

Ben: "Alright then! I'm gonna finish dinner for the night."

Gwen: "We all should." We all walked back, and I finished my mostly cooked worms, since as Heatblast, I burned them when I touched them. The bowl was mostly unaffected, though, so it could still be used.

Heatblast: "I'm gonna stay out for a bit, okay, guys?"

Gwen: "Of course. I have to say, though, how did you know what it was before you got it?"

Heatblast: "I can't say." I didn't want to tell them they were just TV show characters where I came from, and I had no idea how I got there in the first place. All I knew was, I have the Omnitrix now, and I have to go with Ben, Gwen, and Max now.

Gwen: "You knew this was going to happen, didn't you?"

Heatblast: "Well, yes, but…"

Gwen: "I knew it!"

Heatblast: "Knew what?" I thought she caught on.

Gwen: "You knew it was going to land! You knew you'd have that power somehow, and you knew how it was going to get here. I bet you don't even come from here!"

Heatblast: "No, I don't. You're right. But I wanted to get it to Ben. I didn't want it."

Gwen: "You wanted Ben to have the watch?"

Heatblast: "Exactly. But I didn't think the pod would open when I got in front of it, then it jumped out, and latched on to me."

Gwen: "Oh…" She looked concerned for me now. "I'm sorry, I…"

Heatblast: "It's fine. I was just…"

Gwen: "Gonna leave?"

Heatblast: "No. I have nowhere to go."

Gwen: "You can stay with us, then!"

Heatblast: "I wanted to, but, only if…"

Max: "You can. Don't worry."

Gwen: "Grandpa!"

Heatblast: "Max!"

Max: "I've had experiences with aliens before. I guess you knew that, Kyle."

Heatblast: "Yeah, but…"

Max: "I could tell by the look in your eyes when I said plumber. You know about the Plumbers, don't you?"

Heatblast: "Yes."

Max: "Then I guess there's no real secrets between us."

Gwen: "Grandpa, what's a Plumber, in your case?"

Ben: "Yeah! Now I'm curious, too, Grandpa."

Max: "The Plumbers are an intergalactic protection agency that deals with outer space alien affairs. We either negotiate, fight, or work with aliens depending on who or what they are. It's been around since George Washington's time. He was one of the first Plumbers."

Gwen: "Wow! Kyle, are you a Plumber?"

Heatblast: "No, Gwen. I'm not."

Ben: "Then you can take Grandpa's place now."

Max: "Just expect me to give advice now and again, okay, Kyle?"

I then did a salute. "Yes, sir! Honorary Plumber, Kyle, reporting for duty!" I stated.

Max laughed. "Welcome aboard." He said to me.

Ben: "Grandpa? What's that make us?"

Max: "You two are also honorary Plumbers. Just remember to keep it secret."

Gwen and Ben: "Of course."

Heatblast: "So, now what, Max?"

Max: "There's a reason that watch was sent down here. And, someone is after it. We don't know who yet. Kyle, do you have any idea who would want it?"

I shrugged. I knew it was Vilgax, but that would be saying too much to him.

Max: "I have an idea, but I can't be sure."

Gwen: "I'll always be right by your side, Kyle."

Heatblast: "Thanks, Gwen."

Ben: "Me, too."

Heatblast: "Cool."

Max: "Let's get a move on. Tomorrow, we pack up."

Gwen: "Good thinking."

Ben: "On the road, kicking bad guy butt! My kinda summer!"

Heatblast: "Mine, too, Ben. Mine too." I got a questioning look on my face, though.

Gwen: "What's wrong?"

Heatblast: "This thing should've changed me back by now. What gives?"

Max: "Maybe this is different."

Ben: "It's gonna be hard walking with you in Heatblast mode."

Heatblast: "I know. Let me try something. Wildmutt!" I then transformed into Wildmutt from Heatblast.

Gwen: "Whoa!"

Wildmutt: "ROAOARRROAR!" I then became Diamondhead.

Ben: "It lets you change your forms around?"

Diamondhead: "I guess so… Interesting." I then became XLR8 by just thinking about it.

Max: "I think I know what this device is called."

Gwen: "What?"

Max: "The Omnitrix."

XLR8: "But that doesn't explain why I can do this."

Max: "Can you be human again?"

I changed back to normal.

Kyle: "Yeah."

Gwen: "Well, you have that option. I suggest taking advantage of it whenever possible."

Kyle: "I will."

Max: "We'd better get some shut eye."

Ben: "Yeah."

Just then… In Vilgax's ship…

Robot: "Vilgax, sir, the Omnitrix has been active for over an hour now."

Vilgax: "And?"

Robot: "It has shut down."

Vilgax: "Send some drones to those coordinates! Now!"

Robot: "Yes sir." He sent the big robot seen in episode 1, and it landed on earth within 15 minutes.

I was sleeping on a couch in the RV, and was woken up by Gwen.

Kyle: "What's wrong, Gwen?"

Gwen: "I can't sleep. I'm worried about you too much."

Kyle: "I'll be fine. I know how to use the aliens to fight. Don't worry."

Gwen: "Can we go out for a walk?"

I was a bit awestruck, then said, "Of course. If it'll make you feel okay."

Gwen: "It should. Thanks. She got a jacket and some slippers on, and was about to grab a flash light.

Kyle: "We have Heatblast, remember?"

Gwen: "Oh… Yeah. I forgot."

We both stepped out, and I became Heatblast.

Gwen: "Let's go."

Heatblast: "Okay."

We started walking around for a bit, and I asked her, "Why did you want to go out?"

Gwen: "Well, I wanted to say, I'd be willing to help you 100% of the way."

Heatblast: "That's cool, but…" I stopped myself. "Wait… You like me, don't you?"

Gwen: "NO! Dweeb."

Heatblast: "You do know I'm older than you, right?"

Gwen: "Sorry."

Heatblast: "It's okay. I can tell."

Gwen: "Yes. I do, alright?"

Heatblast: "Don't get defensive of yourself. Listen. If you're ever in trouble, just holler. I'll be there ASAP. Don't worry."

Gwen: "I know."

Heatblast: "We're cool, then."

Gwen: "Yeah."

We continued on. It was starting to get slightly lighter out.

Gwen: "You know, we should be heading back."

Heatblast: "Maybe." We started to turn around, but then, a laser came out of nowhere. Gwen screamed.

Heatblast: "Gwen, take cover! I got this!" She took my advice. I became Wildmutt, and started hearing out for the robot. I found it, then jumped at it, and landed on top of it. I bit its head off, and it ran into a tree. Gwen was right under it.

Wildmutt: "ROAR!!" I became Diamondhead, landed behind her, and stabbed the tree. It stopped the fall.

Gwen: "That was close. Thanks."

Diamondhead: "Don't mention it." Another laser came out, and I became Fourarms, then swung the tree like a baseball bat, and the other robot exploded, while the laser missed.

Gwen: "Wow!" I dropped the tree.

Fourarms: "I know." I changed into Stinkfly.

Stinkfly: "Now hop on!"

Gwen: "Okay." She got on, and we saw Ben and Max already out preparing breakfast.

Gwen: "Eww… What's that smell? Has to be whatever Grandpa's cooking."

Stinkfly: "It actually might be me, Gwen. Sorry."

Gwen: "EWW!!!!"

Stinkfly: "I said sorry!!" I landed on the ground.

Ben: "Cool! A giant bug form!"

Max: "Where were you two?"

Stinkfly: "Gwen couldn't sleep, so, we went out, and then we got attacked by robots. I beat them no problem, though."

Max: "Good. Now let's get out of here."

Ben: "Why, Grandpa?"

Max: "There could be a bigger robot out there hunting you down, Kyle. Come on!"

Ben: "But what about…"

Max: "You, Kyle and Gwen will eat breakfast in the RV! Come on!"

Gwen hopped off, and I changed to Upgrade.

Upgrade: "Need some help getting a boost out of here?"

Max: "Yes! Quick!" Ben, Gwen, and Max got in the RV, and then I merged with the RV.

Ben: "A machine-possessor one?"

Upgrade: "Yep, Ben. And I'm Upgrade!"

Max: "Full throttle, now!"

Upgrade: "No problem, Max!" I turned on the rocket boosters, started the RV up, and took off.

Ben: "Woo-hoo!!!!"

Gwen: "AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

Max: "AAAHHHH!!!"

Upgrade: "Too fast for you guys?"

Max: "Yes!!!"

Gwen: "Slow down!"

Ben: "I'm enjoying this!"

I slowed down, though. I turned off the rockets, and went at the speed on the road.

Max: "Hoo… That was close."

Upgrade: "Sorry, Max."

Ben: "It was cool! Going at turbo-speed! WOOOOOOOOSHHHH!!!!"

Gwen: "Never again… please!"

I went back in and let Max take control of the RV, and became normal again.

Max: "That boost was all we needed. Thanks."

Kyle: "Pleasure to be of service, Tennysons."

Gwen: "That was cool of you to fly me back, though. But I need a shower… Hold on." She went into the bathroom, and put on the shower.

Ben: "Nice escape plan, dude!"

Kyle: "I know! I had a rush of adrenaline! Or… um… download power? Hmm…"

Max: "Whatever it was, it got us out. Thanks."

Kyle: "Welcome."

Ben: "You use it like a pro!"

Kyle: "As much as I can be with 10 aliens."

We kept going on the road.

On Vilgax's ship though…

Robot: "Sir. The Omnitrix has left the wildlife park. Shall the drone pursue them still?"

Vilgax: "Yes. Do it."

Robot: "As you command, sir."

The robot took off in the air, and was speeding towards the direction we left.

Kyle: "I'm not bringing you guys in too much danger, am I?"

Ben: "Of course not. We live for it now, right Grandpa?"

Max: "I wouldn't say live for it, but I'm certainly used to it."

Kyle: "That's perfect then."

Gwen came out of the shower. She asked, "How do I look?" She was in a top with white shorts, and the top was blue with the cat thing from her other shirt on it.

Kyle: "Nice."

Ben: "Okay, I guess…"

Max: "Great, honey." Max turned his eyes back to the road.

She sat next to me.

Gwen: "What would you like from the fridge?"

Kyle: "Uh, what is there?"

Gwen: "Yogurt, apples, carrots, grapes, usual stuff."

Kyle: "An apple then, please."

Gwen: "Coming right up."

Ben: "I'd like a Kool-Aid please, Gwen."

Gwen: "Get it yourself, doofus."

Ben: "Hey! Why does he get special attention?"

Gwen: "Because, now that he's a superhero, he needs all the energy he can get, and I'm not gonna let him waste it. You on the other hand, are just a normal 10-year-old noy. Get it?"

Ben: "Fine."

Kyle; "Geez, Gwen, that was a little harsh."

Gwen: "Whatever. Like I said. 100% of the way." She plopped the apple into my hand, and smiled.

Kyle: "Is this out of trying to pay me back for saving your life before?"

Gwen: "A little."

Kyle: "It's just what heroes do. Don't worry about returning a favor, okay?"

Gwen: "Okay."

I proceeded with eating it.

Max: "We're about to stop at a Burger King. Who wants to stop for lunch?"

Kyle: "That'd be nice."

Ben: "Cool!"

Gwen: "I'm in."

Ben: "But you don't like fast food, Gwen."

Gwen: "Gotta give it a try, right?"

Kyle: "I guess so."

Max: "I'm stopping." He pulled in, and we all went inside. I had a Whopper with Cheese only Ketchup in it, Ben had a burger loaded with everything, Gwen chose the same thing I did, and Max got a 12-pack of chickens. I chose Sprite, so did Gwen, Ben chose Pepsi, and Max had and orange Hi-C.

We sat down.

Max: "Glad we can do this now, huh?"

Kyle: "Yep. Good to be normal."

Ben: "Sometimes." He sounded disappointed.

Kyle: "Ben?"

Ben: "You wanted to give the Omnitrix to me right?"

Kyle: "Yes-"

Ben: "Then take it off, and put it right here, on my wrist, right now!"

Kyle: "I can't. It's not that simple. Once it gets on your wrist, it stays there for the rest of your life."

Ben: "Oh. Sorry…"

Kyle: "It's not all bad, though. Don't feel sorry."

Ben: "Sorry about yelling at you, I meant to say."

Kyle: "Oh. That's fine, Ben."

Gwen actually seemed to be enjoying her burger.

Kyle: "I'd better start chowing down now." I was, and eventually, we all finished, and we left, because Max paid on the booth.

Gwen: "That was… nice. I never knew fast food tasted nice."

Kyle: "You're welcome." I got in the RV, and right before Max even started the car, the giant robot drone landed right in front of the RV.

Ben: "They found us again! Kyle, go hero!"

Kyle: "Already on it, Ben!" I became Ghostfreak, and phased through the RV, then became Heatblast, and threw fireballs at it. It backed up, then shot a laser. I transformed into Diamondhead, and refracted the laser back, and it moved out of the way.

Diamondhead: "Guys! Get everyone out of here! I'll hold him off!"

Gwen: "No! I'll stay with you!"

Ben: "It's too dangerous!"

Max: "He's right! Just do it!"

Gwen: "Okay…"

Diamondhead: "That's the best way you can help right now!" I then became XLR8, and ran straight up the robot, and started kicking at its head. Gwen, Ben, and Max got every citizen out of the area, and then stayed to cheer me on. The robot, after trying a lot of times to grab me, finally did, and threw me off. I became Stinkfly, and shot some slime at its eyes. They made a direct hit, and it couldn't see a thing. I then became Fourarms, landed on the ground, ran up to it, and then threw it down to the ground. It got back up, grabbed me, and I became Grey Matter.

Max: "I can't see him anymore. Where is he?"

Ben: "Maybe he became a small alien?"

Gwen: "Possibly."

I crawled along its arm a ways, then thought, "Okay. Now I have to get to an open valve or duct on it somewhere, and short it out from the inside." I couldn't find it, so I became Ripjaws, and started biting a few chunks out of its armpit while still being latched on by my claws to its side. It tried to grab me, but I climbed higher up, and when I got to its head, I became Diamondhead, and started digging at the top of its head, until I got a tiny hole on it.

Ben: "Does he even know what he's doing?"

Gwen: "Yes."

Ben: "How do you know?"

Gwen: "I can tell. He's looking for a weak point."

Max: "You're winning! Keep going!"

After I got a hole a good size for Grey Matter to go through, I transformed into him again, and hopped in. I wandered around its head, until I found its processors.

Grey Matter: "Jackpot! I think…" I started messing with its processors, making it do all sorts of things on the outside, until it deactivated, and fell down. I rolled out of there, and became normal again.

Kyle: "Now that was kinda fun!"

Gwen: "You were amazing out there!"

Ben: "Yeah! A total professional!"

Kyle: "Well, I do my best."

Max: "That was only just the beginning."

Kyle: "I know. I need more practice with this thing."

Gwen: "Let's leave."

Max: "Not until Kyle cleans this up."

Kyle: "Aww…"

Max: "Part of being a Plumber. Clean up after the mess."

I became XLR8, and started pulling stuff apart, and then used Fourarms to toss parts into the water below.

We went back on the road after that. That's how my adventures with the Tennysons officially started. But Max was right. That was only just the beginning of many thing s to come.

On Vilgax's ship…

Vilgax: "This being is apparently very clever. It knew exactly how to use the Omnitrix's powers."

Robot: "Yes. But wasn't the Master Control supposed to be deactivated?"

Vilgax: "I thought so. Apparently, whoever was transporting it knew to activate it."

Robot: "And that means, the being is more of a threat than we thought?"

Vilgax: "Exactly. And if the Master Control's been activated, that means it now has access to all 1,000,903 aliens on the Omnitrix!"

Robot: "But you cannot fight it in your current condition."

Vilgax: "I know…"

The End of Chapter 1. What will Vilgax do next? Is there a way to get back to my dimension, and why does Gwen take a liking to me? We'll find out later.
