Chapter 1: Unexpected help

Seanzilla115: Hey minna. Thought I'd bring you a new story to tide ya over until the new chapter of my Freedom Force story is finished. Also, I don't own anyone in this story, nor the Sonic the Hedgehog series, Ben 10 Series, and Blazblue series. Also...some of the dialect in here is taken from Gammatron's Omviverse Underground story. Now...let's begin!

No...

Shaky breath filed and choked his lungs as blood dripped from his mouth and head.

This...can't be happening...

His cloths burnt and caked with his dry blood as he looked at the badly bruised body of his partner from his bindings.

Rook...

-Now..to finish you like I should've done years ago...-

Malware...

He glared at the mutated Galvanic Mechamorph, the very being that ruined his life when he reappeared, as he aimed his blaster at him for the killing blow.

I don't know how...but I swear I'll get you back for what you've done...

I'm dying...

Shaky breaths filled and choked her.

"So much for girl power…eh, Lieutenant?"

I'm really dying…

Her hair, clothing, and tail were caked in her spilling blood, a blade wound visible in various places of her figure as the bloodied body of her friend laid not to far away from her.

"I think we've all learned a valuable lesson about not sticking our pert little noses where they don't belong. The same goes for that piece of trash over there."

Damn you…

"Now, what say you go on an acorn bender, or do whatever it is you Beastkin do…"

Her eyes began to close, her vision becoming blurry. Yet she could still see him. The green-hair…the black suit…His insane grin.

Damn you to hell, Hazama.

Mobius. A lush, green planet filled with many different lives, both good and evil. Thi planet is home to two kinds of biengs, Mobians and Overlanders.

However...the surface of the planet hides the scars of wars long pass, with some still possibly going on. One of which is between two forces, one that fights for freedom, and the other wanting complete control of Mobius.

The man who wants complete control of Mobius is known as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, or Eggman as he goes by now. His millitia is primarely robots, and a group of Mobians with Cybernetic enhancments called the Dark Egg Legion. Abducting the people of Mobius, he has been converting them into 'Robians' with his Roboticizer, or converting them into Dark Egg Legionars.

The opposition to this madman is the Freedom Fighters, a covert group designed to do five thingsassault Robotnik's forces, destroy bases, build up ranks, rescue captives, and-the most important of them all-defeat Eggman.

But sadly, things aren't looking good for them as their former enemy, Ixis Naugus, has regained his powers and usurped the thorn of their home, New Mobotroplois, thanks to a former member restoring him from his madness, one of their top members, The Princess of Mobitroplois, Sally Alicia Acorn, Roboticized by Eggman and acts as his top weapon, and slwoly, one by one, more member of the group keep falling, or mysteriously dissapearing.

One member in particular, the legendary Blue Blur of Mobius; Sonic the Hedgehog, is slowly starting to lose hope as thought of disbanding teh Freedom Figthers filled his head, his whole world crashing down around him as his girlfriend is being controled by a egg-shaped madman, the entire city being controled by a dark wizard, and slowly one by one...he's losing more of his friends.

A week has passed since two of Sonic's friends, Antione, who was hospitilized due to a metal version of Sonic blowing up in his face during its attempt to go after the former prince and king of Mobitropolis, Elias Acorn, and his family, and Bunnie, who was Deroboticized thanks to Naugus' magic, although he was the one who turned her robotic parts into crystal in the first place, soon went missing after her husband was put in the hospital.

The blue hedgehog rested on his bed, dreaming. Sonic blinked a bit when he noticed that he stood within a strange realm, the hedgehog unaware of where he was. It was…chaotic, to admit. It was a strange shade of azure at times before flashing into a sickly venom/emerald green for just an instant. Inscribed upon a door floating before him were four simple words.

"Um… 'Help me! Professor…Ko-ko-no-ay?'" Sonic read, having to sound out the last part.

"Very well. Lost child of the day…you may enter!" a voice called out from the other side of the door.

It opened up, revealing not more of the strange realm, but a dirtied laboratory of sorts. Sonic slowly walked through the gate and it slammed shut behind him, causing the hedgehog to flinch and look back in shock.

"Hey, I told you to get in here!" the voice snapped.

Sonic gulped before continuing deeper into the lab. It was there he met a fairly young adult catgirl with a slim build. Her eyes were a golden-amber with visible bags under them, due to working overtime in the lab they were in most likely in Sonic's guessing. She had pink hair which she kept tied in a specialized style consisting of a long ponytail backing up longer tufts resembling large cat ears which tended to overshadow her actual animal-like ears-the hedgehog barely seeing them-, which faded into white at the tip. Her attire consisted of an altered, scientist version of the usual Kaka jacket with a white coloration. How Sonic knew that, he'd never figure out. A hole at the lower base provided room for her twin, cat-like tails. She also wore a pair of small spectacles, and held a blue lollipop in her left hand.

The over-sized sleeves were cut at the sides to make it easier for her arms to slide in and out of them. She wore a pair of red capri pants with a black belt adorned by a large cat bell. The attire was completed with a pair of white mules with heels similar to the boots the Kaka Clan wore, but with no vamp, allowing her to take them off almost reflexively.

"Now this is interesting. I was expecting Makoto Nanaya, but got a blue anthromorphic Hedgehog, instead," the catgirl noted.

"Uh…Where are we?" Sonic asked, "And who are you?"

"Didn't you hear what I said earlier?-!" the catgirl demanded, a tick mark appearing on her head, "You're making me say it again?! Son of a…!" she paused to sigh in annoyance, "Mysterious room, sad little lost children, Avalon, nutbars, flowchart, piss off."

"All I heard was 'Very well. Lost child of the day…you may enter,'" Sonic replied with a shrug.

"Son of a bitch! The damn door's too think to hear the beginning part of it then?! No wonder those idiots never heard me earlier!" the catgirl growled before adjusting her glasses, "Well…"

"Sonic the Hedgehog."

"Nice name. You probably got that name because you can run at supersonic speeds," the catgirl noted.

"Wow. You're right on that," Sonic pointed out.

"Now let's see here…'Sonic the Hedgehog,'" the catgirl began to press something on her clipboard, "Hm? Oh! So you're the legendary hero of Mobius. Your soul must have been in deep need of help then if you came here."

"Huh? Look, lady, can I just get your name and where we are? Because I'll just le…"

"No."

"What?"

"You can't leave this place until you hear my excellent advice. Kinda creepy once you think about it," the catgirl informed.

"…You're that 'Co-co-no-hey' that the sign said, aren't you?"

"It's 'Kokonoe,' but yeah. You got that right," the catgirl adjusted her glasses, "Now then, seems you just recently ost two of your friends, one of which being blown up in teh face due to a robot version of you exploding in front of him while the other dissapeared to who knows where, am I right?"

"Uh…Well…yeah? How'd you know that?"

"Oh, I'm a goddess while we're here, so you can't keep a secret from me," Kokonoe replied with a cat-like smirk before resuming looking at her clipboard, "Now let's see here…You're the leader of the Freedom Fighters, next to your girlfriend, Princess Sally Acorn, daughter of one Maximillian Acorn, and can control the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds. It seems you'll be enduring some deep shit later that you alone won't be able to handle."

"What are you talking about? I can take on anything!" Sonic growled.

"Except Eggman and Naugus at your current level of strength. You haven't even awoken the true potential of your Chaos Energy even! I mean, What kind of damn idiot are you?!" Kokonoe demanded.

"Hey…!" Sonic scowled.

"Whatever. Anyways, just listen to my advice for you," Kokonoe informed as she showed Sonic the clipboard, revealing a map, "Follow this map to the 'X.' There, you'll find four poor lost souls that will aid you against Eggman if you're able to help two of them find a way to heal their poor lost souls."

She pulled the map off and shoved it into Sonic's hands. Sonic looked at it for a moment before putting it into his head quills.

"My head just hurts right now, so I'm leaving, okay?" Sonic sighed.

"Okay then. Oh, and Sonic?" the hedgehog turned to Kokonoe once more, "I hope you find that special girl you've always wanted."

"Wh...what're you talkibg about? I already have Sal after I get her back!" Sonic blushed.

"I wasn't reffering to just her..." Kokonoe smirked teasingly

Sonic blinked a bit before he blushed heavily at that. He quickly ran out as Kokonoe began to laugh at his embarrassment. She eventually ended her laughter once Sonic slammed the door shut. She turned to a large figure in the shadows.

"Tager."

"Yes, Kokonoe?"

"Makoto's not showing up," Kokonoe informed.

"Really now?"

"Call it a gut feeling. Better start getting things a look-over…Damn it, Tits McGee. I even had a Bust Chart set up for explaining that shelf of yours…"

Sonic cracked an eye open and yawned. His eyes shot open all the way when he found a scroll in his left hand. He unrolled it and gawked in shock. It was the map that cat lady, Coconut-Hay, gave him (With Kokonoe, she began to rant about her name being misspoke as Tager moved slowly away from her so as not to be pulled into it). He rolled the scroll back up and clenched his free hand into a fist, adopting a determined expression. He got up form his bed and lept out the window in his room, paying close attention to the map as he quietly left his house since it was still night time. Was that Caw-Caw-Norway (Kokonoe Note: Damn you, you blue rat! Tager Note: *hiding behind a brick wall with me*) a goddess or something?

"Sonic...Why do we have to be out here so late?" Sonic's number one fan and self proclaimed girlfriend, Amy Rose, asked as she and a certain, twin tailed fox and best friend of teh blue hedgehog followed him outside the city.

"Maybe it has something to do with that Map he's looking at," Tails pointed out to the map in the blue hedgehog's hands.

"...a Map? Sonic, I don't understand. What's so important on that map that we...?" Tails began.

"Shh..." Sonic hused her, the bags under his eyes barely noticable since he had been searching for what's on the map since thre in the morning and it was seven now, "If you pay attention to your surronding Amy, we're in the forest almost not too far from New Mobotropolis..."

"...why would...(gasp)Oh my gosh! I see what's going on now! You're taking me out to a secret place where you'll confess your love to me!" Amy squealed.

Both Sonic and Tails facepalmed at that. Ever since Amy made herself older using the Ring of Acorns a few years ago, she's been really clingy towards Sonic, even if he was together with Sally. That was when Sonic slumped, realizing that his Girlfriend was still under Robotnik's control.

"...Look Amy. Just...just try and be a litte more quiet while we're looking for whatever this map leads us too, okay?" Sonic asked the pink hedgehog.

"Oka...! Oops! Heh heh...Okay Sonic..." Amy whispered with a quiet giggle.

"...I got a bad feeling about this..." Tails whispered to himself as the group walked further into the woods.

"Are you sure this is where you saw them heading, Drago?" a crimson red Echidna with cold blue eyes, Rose red hair on top of her dreadlocks, and wearing a black, leather jumpsuit that hugged her figure, black gloves, and black boots asked a feral looking wolf twice her size with white fur, slited yellow eyes, cybernetic arms with razor sharp claws, and wearing a dark-purple and blood red uniform.

"Yes, Lien-da. Eggman's Scanner's picked up that damn, blue rat and two others leaving the city to who knows where," the wolf growled.

"I'm not going to ask why you're here anyway since I already know you want to get back at that blue punk...and you better hope you're right. Oterwise Robotnik won't be happy," the echidna/Lien-Da frowned before sighing.

Ever since Eggman fixed her and the Dark Legion up after that whole incedent with Enerjak, they've pledged their allegiance to him. But...lately she's been questioning his actions as almost everytime Eggman had Sonic cornered and almost defeated...he lets him go. Was it a act of pity...or was he trying to make him suffer mentally as more of the blue hedgehog's friends went down one by one? Lien-da just sighed a bit, still not seeing what Eggman was thinking.

"Sonic? Is everything okay?" Tails asked the blue hedgehog as he was still looking at the map

"Yeah," Sonic replied, barely looknig up from the map.

"So...what're we looking for anyway?" Amy asked curiously.

"Something. I don't really know. It's just supposed to be something that shouldn't be in a forest," Sonic waved her off as he looked up, "Past the weathered down, fox-shaped rock formation…Huh. If I didn't know any better, this thing was made just last night…"

"So what are we finding? Is it treasure?" Tails asked curiously.

"Apparently, if what that crazy cat-lady goddess or something told me, we're supposed to find 'four poor lost souls,'" Sonic informed, "She also said something about 'Mysterious room, sad little lost children, Avalon, nutbars, flowchart, and piss off.' No clue about it, though. A bit fuzzy still."

The pink hedgehog and twin tailed fox slowly looked at each other while Sonic progressed ahead. Sonic continued his walk until he yelped and fell onto his face. The hedgehog slowly got up as his two friends ran over in concern before skidding to a halt. The trio stood before a clearing in the trees expanding for a decent half-mile. In the center of it was a strange structure. The middle of it was made of a scarlet sphere with a window depicting a strange azure-colored energy. At the left and right sides of the dome stood four tube-like pods, all twice the size of Drago, and colored in the same scheme as the sphere. On them was a pair of clear panel doors, fogged up to hide the items within.

"This is it!" Sonic grinned as he zipped over to it in a blue blur, "Okay, now let's see…How does this thing work?"

"It's simple, really," a voice noted, "We catch you and take this to Eggman."

The three tenseed as a electric, energy cage trapped them as Lien-Da and Dragon appeared from the behind the trees. From the shadows appeared multiple cloaked figures carrying blasters as multiple, humanoid, mechanical warriors flew overhead.

"Hello...rat," Drago smirked with a growl.

"Great...you two again...and I'm not a rat! I'm a hedgehog!" Sonic snapped, attempting to grab the bars of the cage before moving back when they erupted in electricity.

"Ah-ah-ah~," Lien-Da tsked, "You won't be escaping that. As you can see, the middle of the floor has been insulted while the bottom of it is electrified, so no chance of you escaping there with your little Spin Dash, you blue pest. Plus, if that little fan girl of yours or that twin tailed freak try to pull anything funny, the Legionars will open fire on you three," she turned to a Dark Egg Legionar with a atom design on it's chest, "Activate that machine."

The Legionar nodded before approaching the device. A computer monitor and keyboard emerged from the sphere and the Legionar proceeded to start typing something down. Steam hissed from the four pods. The panel doors flipped upwards at a one-eighty degree flip. Four figures fell from the containers, two male and two female. They all noted that they were human, though one of the females had a pair of squirrel ears and a squirrel tail.

The first male's hair was brown and was a bit curly and seemed to go with his peach skin, slightly tanned from possibly spending his days outdoors. He wore a white jacket with green line designs on it with a black circle that had a white '10' on it on his left lapel. The tears in it revealed a black shirt with a green line going down the middle along with a few tears in it as well along with his brown baggy pants. On his left wrist was a strange green and white watch with the face showing no time, just a solid white faceplate with two green lines that made a pair of 'Vs' on it.

The 2nd male's body seemed to be the tallest of them. He appeared to have lavender fur with black and white markings on the face and pointed ears. His mouth was opened a little, exposing large and pointed upper canines. He seemed to be wearing a strange black jumpsuit with blue armor plating over it, blue gloves, and blue and black combat boots, all of which were torn in various places. He seemed to have a strange white and black weapon on his back.

The 1st girl's outfit was quite revealing in terms of skin. Her black thong was visible with the middle of it being barely hidden by an orange short-short skirt. Her only upper clothing was a strange orange and yellow piece that let the lower half of her breasts be exposed with the upper half hidden completely and connected to a black choker on her neck with black fingerless gloves on her hands. On her legs were a pair of black stockings that went up to just below her thigh and a pair of orange heeled running shoes.

The 2nd girl had long, scarlet hair and fair peach skin. She wore what appeared to be a fighting outfit made of white robes and had a bit of a Japanese militaristic look to them. She had a hat on her head in the same soft cream colors with a half-opened azure eye on it with little angel wings. In her left hand was a shield that seemed to be made of a large round book with the same half-open azure eye on the border while her right hand held a short red blade with the same eye on the end of its hilt, looking more like the tip of a pen than a blade. Like the others, her outfit was torn and she appeared to be hurt a bit.

The brown haired teen groaned as he was the first to awaken. He shook his head before holding it a little.

"Huh? Wh…Wha's goin'…?" the teen mumbled before shaking his head, "Ow…" he then turned towards the taller male, "Hey Rook. You okay?"

"Ugg...I..I think so..." The taller male replied as he rasied himself up a little using his arms before rubbing his head, "I feel as if I was mauled by a fusion of a Apolexian and a Tetramand...

"Hey! You there! Who are you?-! You better tell me right now or I'll come down there and make you talk!" Drago snareld, catching the two males' attention as they turned to the scene of the three Mobians and all the robots and Legionars ready to fire at the caged trio.

"...I think the better question is...who are...?" Rook began.

"The name's Ben Tennyson. And guess what? It's Hero Time!" the brown haired teen smirked.

He poked the face of it and a holographic wheel appeared, showing strange face-like symbols. He began to circle the face with the still-poking finger. The images began to cycle around, one always lighting up at the top of the cycle. He settled on one and removed his finger. The hologram vanished and the emblem flipped back, revealing a circular version of the face. It rose up an inch above the face's normal spot. He proceeded to slap it and a flash of green light erupted around light faded to reveal the brown haired teen had been replaced by something…something big. It was actually towering over everything in the area. It appeared humanoid, but was primarily white with red. His head had a red blade-like horn on it and green eyes. On his torso was the same symbol the teen had on his device. Tails fell over trying to get a good look at the face of the giant.

"Way Big!" the giant declared before looking at his hands and clenched them with a smirk, "Huh? I was going to go with Rath, but oh well. This is much better."

Way Big crossed his arms in an 'L' formation. A green light shined at the crossing point. It proceeded to unleash a blast of green energy, slamming into the ground and moved along a path, destroying the robots in its path.

"Wh...what the?-!" Lien-Da gawked, seeing that army of robots being reduced significantly to piles of melted metal.

"...Well don't just stand there you idiots! Fire at that behemoth's chest! That green thing on it is obviously its weak point!" Drago snarled at the Legionars, pointing one of his claws right at Way Big.

The Legionars were about to open fire before their blasters were suddenly shot right out of there hands by what appeared to be energy arrows.

"I apologize..but I can't let you do that..." Drago looked forward to see Rook, who was holding the black and white weapon that was on his back, the weapon taking the form of a bow.

"Why you little...!" The feral wolf growled.

"Drago! Come! We have to retreat for now!" Lien-Da ordred.

"What?-! No way! I can take that scrawny punk!" Dragon growled at the echidna.

"Would you rather fight that giant?" Lien-Da frowned, pointing at the towering Way Big.

"...Grr.." Drago growled as he looked back at Rook, "This isn't over, punk."

Rook didn't say anything as the remaining troops scattered into the woods.

"...so..." Way Big spoke, catching Rook's attention as the giant alien change back into Ben and pointed at the cage containing the three, gawking Mobians, "How do we get these three out?"

"Hmm..." Rook pondered a bit as he went over to the cage and started examining it a bit before looknig at Sonic and the others, "I suggest you three step back a bit."

"...uh...okay," Sonic nodded as he, Tails, and Amy took a few steps back in the cage.

Rook aimed his weapon at a certain point on the energy cage before firing a energy arrow at the center, causing it to sputter a bit before it dissapated.

Bn was about to say something to Rook before he noticed the two girls. He walked over to the girl with the Squirrel ears and tail and gently shook her shoulder.

"Hey…Up and at 'em…" Ben spoke softly.

The left ear in her hair twitched. The girl slowly got up and Ben blushed. Her orange outfit didn't hide the lower half of her rather large breasts. They were almost as big as her he…Ah! Ben looked up at the murky skies with a blush. The girl yawned as stretched a little, accidentally hitting Ben in the face with her chest. Rook, Tails and Sonic developed a heavy blush from seeing her breasts jiggle a bit from the stretching as Amy quickly palced her hands over the young fox's eyes, a heavy blush on her face as well. The girl's eyes snapped open, revealing hazel as her eye color, as Ben moved away, blushing harder than before.

"Hazama!-!-!" the girl screamed out in anger before pulling out a pair of tonfa.

The tonfa were strange in design. They were a solid black and shaped like holy crosses. The ends of the 'crosses' ended in spikes while a gold ring was attached over them. Leather straps were on the opposite sides, attached to her wrists.

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!" Ben yelped as he and Rook ran in front of the livid squirrel girl.

"It's okay miss. Just calm down..." Rook said, trying to her calm down.

"Who are you? Are you both with Hazama?" the girl growled before noticing the wounds on teh other girl and glared back at teh two males as she entered a figthing stance, "And what did you two do to Tsubaki?"

"Uh..." Sonic gawked.

"Who's Haz…?" Ben began before ducking under a swipe from her.

"Miss! I suggest you please calm..." Rook began before ducking under a swipe from her as well.

"Go down!" she barked before slamming her other tonfa on the ground, causing a small explosion.

"Woah! Take cover!" Sonic yelped as he, Amy, and Tails barely avoided a boulder from the impact.

(CUE: ALEXANDRITE – THEME OF MAKOTO NANAYA)

*THE WHEEL OF FATE IS TURNING – REBEL 1 – ACTION*

Ben quickly activated the device on his wrist once more, going through the differnt symbols quickly as he stopped on one and slammed down on teh circular device once it popped up, causing the flash of light to appear again. For the others, it was an instant change. But for Ben, he felt time come to a halt around him. His device sunk into his skin as blue fur started to cover him. Two of his fingers on each hand sunk into his hands as the remaining limbs turned black. Two more arms emerged from his body as his feet turned black with three long, finger-like toes. His head reshaped into a simian-like appearance with six green eyes and two green sashes, the symbol on his device on the middle where the two sashes intersected with each other. The new form chittered a bit before looking at himself.

"Spidermonkey? Aw man...I was hoping for Swampfire," The six armed monkey/Spidermonkey slumped before pondering outloud, "Although...now that I think about it, that would've been a pretty bad choice considering we're in the woods after all."

"A shape shifter? Are you like Arakune? A human that spent too much time in the Boundary?" the girl demanded with a scowl, catching Spidermonkey's attention.

"The Boundary? Arakune? Ooh-ooh. What are you talking about?" Spidermonkey pondered before screeching in fear as he flipped over a jab she sent at him.

"Hold still!" the girl growled as she released a flurry of strikese at the blue monkey.

Rook was about to go and help until he noticed the gril with the crimson red hair.

"Ben! Try and keep her distracted! I'm going to go and check and see if that other girl's okay!" the taller of the two males yelled as he ran over to the unconcious, crimson haired female.

"Say what?-!" Spidermonkey yelled before ducking under another strike from the livid squirrel girl.

Rook had reached the crimson haired girl and was about to check her wounds, only for the girl to moan a bit as she slowly regained conciouness.

"My...my head..." the crimson haired girl winced a bit as she slowly got up and held her head.

"Excuse me miss...but I insist you lay back down," Rook told her, getting the crimson haired girls attention.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked up, making Rook's eyes widen as he saw her sapphire blue eyes were close to being dull.

'Wh...what? Her eyes...they look as if someone or something had done somthing to them..but...what?' Rook thought.

"Wh...who's there?" the crimson haired girl asked as her vision was a bit hazy at the moment.

"Look up mi..." Rook began.

"Stand still already!" the crimson haired girl heard the squirrel girl's voice yell, causing her eyes to widen adn her vision to become almost clear.

"That was...Makoto!" the girl gasped as she tried to get up again, only for Rook to stop her.

"I wouldn't get up if I were you," the lavender furred male stated to her.

"Who...who are you?" the crimson haired girl gasped as she tried to reach for her weapon.

"I'm not here to harm you. I just want to examin your wounds a bit...but I must ask you something...are you friends with that girl overthere?" Rook asked her as he ponted to the still livid squirrel girl, who was still trying to hit Spidermonkey.

"Y-yes! Makoto!" the gril called out to the squirrel girl.

"Eh?" the 1st girl blinkned as she paused from a punch she was about to deliver Spidermonkey.

'Now's my chance!' Spidermonkey thought as he shot webbing from his tail and behind the squirrel girl's body, causing her to fall to the ground face first. He then lept over her again and looked at her face, ""Now I'll let you go if you just let me talk, okay?"

The girl's eyes narrowed but nodded.

"Okay. I do not know who this 'Hazard' guy is," Spidermonkey informed as he grasped part of the webbing on her and pulled it off, "And why did you try to attack me? Honestly, you save the universe a ton of times and aliens all over want to challenge you all of a sudden…"

"Aliens?" the squirrel girl and crimson haired girl, who had overheard what he said as Rook helped her over, repeated.

"Aliens?" the two hedgehogs and twin tailed fox repeated as tehy walked over from their hiding spot.

"...what kind of Beastkin are you three?" the Squirrel girl asked once she was freed.

"I'm curious as well. You three look more animal than human," The crimson haired girl noted.

"...Um..." Tails and Sonic blushed heavily as they looekd away.

"Can you please cover yourself up? One of my friends is too young to be seeing something so revealing at his age," Amy frowned at the Squirrel girl.

"What do you mean?" The squirrel girl tilted her head.

Spidermonkey looked up with Rook, a blush on both their faces. Spiderrmoney had only just realized what the squirrel girl was wearing since she wanted to pummel him.

"Look, can we just talk for now? I think we're all on the wrong tracks," Spidermonkey informed as he removed the last of the webbing and jumped down, changing back into Ben, "I'm Ben Tennyson."

"…Who now?" Sonic asked.

"…Ben Tennyson? …Ben 10? …Really?! You don't know me? Holder of the Omnitrix? Guy who's saved the universe dozens of times?" Ben gawked.

"The Universe? Really?" Tails rasied a brow in disbelief.

Ugh…" Ben sighed, "Well? What about you guys?"

"Ahem!" Amy cleared her throat as she motioned to herself and the two girls.

"Sorry, I was kinda directing it to these two," Ben apologized as he pointed at Sonic and Tails.

"Name's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog."

"Miles Prower. But my friends call me Tails," the twin-tailed fox greeted before he looked at the device on Ben's wrist, "That's a strange looking watch you have there. It looks more like a wrist-mounted device that relays a wireless signal to some area out in deep space that returns anotehr signal, altering your appearance and abilities for a predetermined time limit."

"..." Ben slowly ba cked away from Tails as as the young twin tailed fox walked up to Rook and started examening the black and white device.

"Um...May I help you?" Rook asked the young fox.

"This device of yours looks very intresting. It looks like a high-tech multi-fuctional device that can change into whatever the wielder needs depending on the situation," Tails examined.

"That's...right," Rook blinked in suprise a bit at how fast the fox examined his weapon, "You're quite smart for someone so young."

"Tha'ts my little bro for ya. Give him some new tech, and he'll find out how it works really fast," Sonic grinned as he walked over and stood next to Tails, "I'm Sonic by teh way, and you already met my little bro, Tails."

"I am Rook," the lavender furred male greeted back before blinked, "Wait...he is your sibling? You...do realize you're not the same species, right?

"...Um..actually, that's something he likes to call me because I looked up to him like a big brother when I was younger," Tails sweatdropped with Sonic.

"Ahh..." Rook noted before blinking, "I..still don't understand..."

"..." The blue hedgehog blinked as he slowly walked back over to Ben and whispered to him, "He...doesn't understand expressions and otehr stuff liek that, does he?"

"Yep. He...kinda has dififculty with those..." Ben whispred back before looking at the girls, "Name's Ben. A pleasure to meet you, even thought we kinda got off on the wrong foot."

"At least he's formal in some things," Amy noted before giving a curtsy, "I'm Amy Rose. A pleasure as well."

"I am Tsubaki. Yayoi Tsubaki," the Crimson haired girl introduced herself.

"Name's Makoto. Nananya Makoto," The squirrel girl smiled apologetically before tapping her chin as she looked at teh three Mobians, "Demo...I've never seen Beastkin liek you three though..."

"I'm with Makoto on this," Tsubaki added as she looked at teh three mobians as well.

"Beastkin? Um...we're Mobians," Sonic pointed out.

"...I guess that means we're on a different planet then..." Rook noted.

"Seems so," Ben noted, 'Not suprising...I wanted to get away from it all after...'that' happened. And a planet that's never heard of me is as pretty far as it gets.'

"...NANI?-!" Tsubaki and Makoto exclaimed, the squirrel girl's tail and ears shotting straight up.

"B-b-b-b-but how?-! Our world spent years, even before the Black Beast, learning about everything we could about space and no world seemed to be capable of holding life!" Tsubaki gasped in a suprised tone

"Black Beast?" the other five repeated.

"We're going to be here for a while, aren't we?" Ben sighed.

"It would appear so," Rook nodded.

Instruct me, Magister Tennyson.

(Starring: Max Tennyson and Taokaka)

Max Tennyson: *walks in* Well isn't this a surprise? New students here at the Plumber Academy? Well, it's nice to meet you all.

Taokaka: *run in* Bouncy, where did you go?!

Max: Whoa! Are you one of the new students?

Taokaka: *looks at Max Tennyson with a tilted head and a paw near her face* Huh? *her ears went up* Oh! You betcha! Tao is Taokaka, meow!

Max: *chuckles* Well, you're certainly a lively young girl. Alright then, why don't we begin todays lesson?

Taokaka: Okay! *thinks 'I don't really know what's going on, but Hawaii-Guy seems nice, like Good Guy when he buys Tao food!'*

Max:*motions to a monitor showing a picture of Ben and Makoto* Alright...since this is the first chapter, we'll start with these four , My grandson, Ben Tennyson, and Makoto Nanaya.

Taokaka:*cheers* Yay! It's Furry girl!

Max: *chuckles a bit at the nicknames before clearing his throat* Now then...*the image on the monitor changes to just Makoto* This is Makoto Nanaya. She is a squirrel-type Beastkin and is considerably hyperactive with a short attention span, though she has proven to be rather cunning when she needs to be. She is outgoing and adventurous with the dangerous ability to wield tonfa strapped to the back of her wrists instead of having handles to hold. She has a few complexes about her race, but nonetheless, she acknowledges who she is and is proud of it. In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Makoto works for the Novus Orbis Librarium (NOL) Intelligence Department with Hazama but is actually a spy for Sector Seven. In the True Ending, she defects from the NOL after finding out what happened and leaves with Noel and Tager. In Makoto's arcade ending in Continuum Shift II, it is revealed that one of the reasons Makoto is in Kagutsuchi is because of her discovery of the several failed attempts by the NOL to create Noel Vermillion at Ikaruga.

Taokaka: *blinks with a question mark appearing above her head* De...fec...ted?

Max: It's when you leave a group you no longer want to be a part of and join another.

Taokaka: Ohh! Tao sees Neow!

Max: *chuckles a bit before continuing*Now then...In Makoto's True Ending in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, it was revealed that during Makoto's time in Ikaruga, she had discovered a computer that was still gathering data from the Cauldron. She also found a file on the 12th Prime Field Device created by Relius Clover and that it was none other than Noel. Before Makoto could go back with the data she collected, the Cauldron knocked her unconscious and sent her soul to a parallel world where she met an injured Jin and Hazama, who was out to kill Jin. They later met up with Bang Shishigami, who decided to heal Jin's wounds. She then met up with Tager and Kokonoe to give them a disk, but she failed to give Kokonoe the right password saying it was 'Gnu' when it was actually 'Baa'. Kokonoe asked her the date of the disk, and Makoto said it was January 3, 2200. Kokonoe said that disk was useless to them because today's date was December 31, 2199. Shocked and confused, Makoto headed back to see Jin and found that he has escaped. She runs to the NOL where she met up with Tsubaki. Tsubaki told Makoto that she joined the zero squadron just to bring Jin back, and when she was done, she was going back to the 4th Thaumaturgist Squad. This caused Makoto to remember that Tsubaki joined the Zero Squadron out of her own free will after graduation," Shadow proceeded, "Then, Hazama showed up and told them that Ragna the Bloodedge was here. Jin ran after him. Makoto told Tsubaki to to go after him and that she need to talk to Hazama. Makoto asked Hazama where Noel was, and Hazama said she wouldn't find Noel anywhere on the planet and that her sudden appearance messed up his entire plan. Before he could attack Makoto, Rachel jumped in and saved her, explaining the situation and how she can get back to her own world. After Makoto returned to her own world, Rachel told her what caused her to travel back in time. Rachel pointed to the cauldron and three caskets of the failed clones of Noel Vermillion and told her that Noel is a human-made doll, just like Beastkin.

Taokaka: Meow?-! Furry-girl's a doll?-!

Max: Now Now Taokaka...calm down. We'll probably find out more about that subjetc soon. *continues his explanation* Rachel asked Makoto what she plans to do now that she got to look at the truth that she was never meant to find out. Makoto said she was going to Kagutsuchi to save her friends. Now...*the image on the monitor changes to Ben*let's begin with me grandson, Ben Tennyson. Ever since that fateful day when he was ten when the prototype Omnitrix fell to earth and latched itself onto his wrist, Ben has been a hero. With the Omnitrix, he could turn into ten different Aliens, more being added as time went by until he turned eleven and gave it up for four years. It was then the Omnitrix upgraded its appearance and gave him a set of ten new aliens, one of which was shown in this chapter. The Ben here had a Continuum Shift of his own.*sighs sadly*I..don't want to say much about it...but..let's just say things didn't turn out good once 'he' appeared.

Taokaka: Who's 'he,' Meow?*shivers* It's not Scary Guy is it?

Max: No, but the person who I'm talking about is almost as twisted.*thinks with a frown* 'Although...after reading the info on Hazama, he's pretty much worse than both Malware and Vilgax combined'*shakes it off as he clears his throat*sorry about that. Now, for the last subject of today.*the image on teh monitor changes to Spidermonkey*This is is an Arachnachimp alien from a planet where his kind live in the trees due to predators on the grounds below. They can climb on any surface like a spider, yet have the dexterity and appearance of a black and blue monkey. Their tails can shoot out webbing they can use for just about anything. Though it's also a problem along with their levels of strength being a bit lower than most other aliens.

Taokaka: Wow! They must love to swing from tree to tree, meow!

Max: *chuckles*They are monkey after all, Tao. But...one flase move, and they end up food for the creatures down below. Anyway...that's it for todays lesson. Next time, we'll go over Ben's partner, Rook, and Makoto's friend, Tsubaki Yayoi. So until then...

Taokaka:*waves at you* Bye!
