first thing's first, this takes place during Omniverse, and there will be no Robin leading the team as that would cause too much conflict with Ben.

Chapter 1

If anyone in Jump City bothered to look up, they would have seen a swirling pink vortex appear. But; since no one did any of those things, they missed the sight of a something falling out of it.

That something was a skinny teenager with messy brown hair and green eyes wearing a green tshirt with a black 10 on the chest, brown cargo pants and white sneakers. On his wrist was a white and green device that resembled a wristwatch but was something far more amazing.

This is Ben Tennyson, and right now, he's looking at a date with the ground.

"Oh crap! Come on give me Big Chill or Astrodactyl! I'll even accept Molestache or Pesky Dust!" Ben began cycling through the aliens in the Omnitrix before slamming down on the dial. In a bright flash of green light, Ben was replaced by an alien wrapped inside a thick radiation suit. "NR- oh sh-"

NRG's added weight caused Ben's descent to rapidly increase and within mere seconds of transforming, the hero found himself slamming so hard into the concrete he left a perfect outline.

"Well, at least I didn't feel that," he muttered, transforming back to himself to be able to climb out of the hole. Dusting himself off, Ben pressed the button on his communicator. "Rook, the portal worked, though I have no idea where I am, track my signal and come pick me up."

His only answer was static. Of course his communicator wasn't working, he was probably lucky that the watch worked after going through that stupid portal.

"No, it's too risky to send one of the robots through the portal so-" Ben's impression of Rook's reasoning for Ben himself to go through the untested Galvin machine was cutoff by him looking up just in time to see a green streak shooting across the sky. By the looks of it, whatever it was landed somewhere in the city. "Better go check it out, it's hero time!"

Activating the dial on the Omnitrix, Ben turned the dial and after a few seconds slammed down on it. When the light cleared the teen was replaced a white phantom creature with one green eye wrapped in chains.

"Ghostfreak!" going invisible, the Ectonurite flew off in the direction of the object's landing.


Onlookers watched in a shocked silence as two bright glowing emerald lights appeared inside the smoke billowing from the crater. No one had seen what had crashed to the ground, as it had barely appeared in the sky for a few seconds before slamming to earth with tremendous force. What stepped out of the crater amazed them all.

The glowing emerald orbs were the eyes of an orange skinned girl. She was dressed in what looked to be black and silver armor with an M shaped face mask. On her hands two enormous gauntlets were chained together.

She began shouting in a language no one could understand. When some took a picture of her, her reaction was a howl of rage and slamming the huge gauntlets into the ground. She repeated this several more times before moving on to strike a taxi, sending it flying into a building. The people began to scatter as the alien girl continued to destroy a bench, a payphone, and several parked cars.

Up on the balcony of the pizza place, the people watched as the orange skinned girl's attention was drawn to the pillar that held the balcony up. Before any of them could react, the girl leaped the distance in a split second before she began hammering the pillar with all her strength.

"Hey! Cut that out before you hurt someone!" she stopped her assault, turning, she began to growl as Ghostfreak became visible. The girls eyes widened in fear and gasped at the sight of him. But; that was quickly replaced by an angry scowl. "Um…. Can we talk about this?"

Ben barely had time to vanish as the alien girl leaped and swung the heavy gauntlets at him. He had barely enough time to go behind her and reappear before she forced him to vanish again. He dodged again, his counter slash blocked by the gauntlets.

'I need to clam her down before-" Ben mentally face palmed. Going invisible again. He flew down into the ground and approached the orange skinned girl, who had began to turn around in place, keeping the gauntlets raised to strike. Flying from underneath, Ben slipped into her body. "There now lets just- GET OUT!"

Unlike when he took over Mike Morningstar, where he had full control of his body, the girl was fighting him with everything she had. He saw flashes in her mind, memories shooting past in seconds, a planet, her family, everything she had ever done or known was going into his mind.

"GET OUT! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!" Ben felt what little control he had slipping away as the girl began to thrash around more violently than she had before. Slamming the gauntlets into the ground and whatever was close enough. Finally, he could hold on no longer and Ben found himself sent flying away into an alley nearby.

Dazed and confused, Ben laid there as the Omnitrix timed out and he was himself again.

"Are you okay?" a voice asked softly. Ben groaned and rubbed his head as he sat up, he resisted the urge to groan again as the alien girl flew off. "What was that thing? A ghost?"

"Kind of, it's a long story," standing up, he turned to see a grey skinned girl dressed in a blue hood and cape that covered her completely. "I'm Ben, Ben Tennyson."

"I'm Raven," she replied, almost whispering. "What was that girl?"

"New alien DNA added to Codon Stream"

"When I took over her body I saw everything from her memories," he replied. "She needs help, and I'm just the guy to do it."

Raven watched as Ben activated the device on his arm and was engulfed in a bright green flash of light. When it disappeared, he was replaced by a tall, muscular orange skinned alien with long red hair wearing purple armor. She blushed as his emerald eyes locked with her and, within seconds she found herself pulled into a kiss. Behind them, Raven heard a trashcan explode.

After several seconds, he pulled away.

"Thank you, Raven," he said, before quickly flying off.

She watched as he vanished from sight, and, despite herself, sighed dreamily, before following after him.


Ben followed the path of destruction until it ended at a video store. Landing, he cautiously stepped through the large hole in the wall and was greeted by the sight of the girl with her had almost completely buried in a popcorn machine, devouring as much as she could.

"Koriand'r" he said, using her native language. "Let me help you"

Koriand'r removed herself from the popcorn machine, stray pieces falling out of her long hair. Her glowing green eyes widened and the light faded to reveal surprise and shock.

"Brother, is that you?" she replied, taking a tentative step forward, then another. After what felt like an eternity, she finally broke and ran towards him and leaped as Ben barely reacted to catch her. "I had thought you dead on Tamaran, oh this is most wonderful!"

Ben felt tears sliding down her neck as the Tamaranian girl buried her face into his neck. He ground his teeth as he prepared to speak.

"I am sorry Koriand'r, but-" his voice died as she pulled back to look at him, the happiness on her face made his heart break. Reaching down he grabbed her gauntleted hands. "-I need to get those cuffs off of you."

Finally, after fiddling with them, Ben was able to finally get the cuffs to release and dropped them to the ground. Koriand'r rubbed her wrists before grabbing him around the neck and hugging him as tight as she could.

"Is Komand'r here as well?" she asked, looking up as him. Her smile vanished when she looked into his eyes. "What troubles you, Ryand'r?"

"I…. I am not your brother," Ben said. The next thing he knew, Ben was flying out into the street. He skidded across the pavement, tearing up the road as he went. When he finally came to a stop he sat up just as the Tamaranian girl stepped out into the open, her face a rage filled mask, and her hands covered by glowing green energy.

"How dare you!" she shrieked, as she began hurling bolts of green energy. Ben rolled and quickly flew up into the sky as the angry girl continued her attack . "I will make you regret deceiving me!"

"I knew I should've kept my mouth shut!" Ben exclaimed, as he continued dodging more and more of her attacks. When he tried to counterattack, he was horrified to find that he couldn't generate energy like she could. "Oh nuts-"

Koriand'r kicked off the ground and in a sudden burst of speed, slammed her shoulder into Ben's stomach before he could react. Without releasing him, Koriand'r kicked her legs behind her, causing her body to swing up until she was above Ben and quickly rocketed both of them towards the ground, slamming both of them down and causing a massive crater to appear.

Ben barely felt her grab him by the collar and effortlessly lift him up into the air.

"Any last words deceiver?" she asked, drawing back her fist and powering up another bolt of green energy.

"AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS" Koriand'r looked towards the direction the words came from just in time to be hit by a mailbox, slamming her into the side of the crater. Ben felt something wrap around him and lift him up out of the crater. He was barely conscious enough to see Raven kneeling over him once he was on the ground. "Ben, are you okay?"

"Does he look okay?" a voice asked. Ben opened his eyes to see a green skinned boy wearing a mask. "She spiked him into the ground."

"Ya'll we got another problem," a different voice added. "She's back up and looks mad!"

Rubbing his head, Ben was barely aware that the Omnitrix was beginning to time out.

"Raven?" he mumbled, around him the sounds of battle were far away. The grey girl formed what looked like a dome of black energy around the two of them.

"It's okay, your safe," she said, looking away. "For now, at least."

Sitting up, Ben watched as the green boy and what looked like a robot fought against the Tamaranian, to his surprise the smaller boy transformed into a green grizzly bear and began swiping at the alien girl, who effortlessly flew away from his reach and hurled energy bolts at him.

"That's Cyborg and Beast Boy," she said. "I ran into them while following after you

Koriand'r fired another round of energy blasts towards Beast Boy, causing the green teen to transform into a hummingbird. She dove down and slammed into Cyborg, driving the robotic African American back, leaving deep gauges in the pavement.

"Lady you need to-" a backhand strike cut him off before the Tamaranian head butted him in the nose using her metal facemask.

Ben stood up shakily, leaning against Raven to keep from falling down again. His head was pounding and his vision was going blurry.

"This ends now," he said, turning the dial on the Omnitrix, unable to see what alien it was he prayed that he picked right. "Drop the shield, Raven."

The empath looked up at him like he was crazy, he looked ready to pass out from fatigue and the alien girl looked like she was still fresh to fight. But; seeing the determination in his eyes, she knew the only choice to make and dropped the bubble.

"Stand clear," he said, slamming his hand down on the dial as she moved away. The three teens were all shocked to see a 12 foot tall brown dinosaur creature. "Humungousaur!"

Koriand'r barely had time to look in the direction the shout cam from before a massive hand grabbed both of her feet by the ankles. The three teens watched as Humungousaur began to slam the alien girl repeatedly into the ground around him, whipping her from one side to the other before, with one final earthshaking slam, he drove her several inches down into the concrete.

Beast Boy cautiously moved forward, giving the severely angry dinosaur a wide berth to check on the orange skinned alien. She was looking up at the night sky, her eyes glassy and wide.

"Um…. You got her," he said, looking up at Humungousaur, who sat down on the ground with a thud and placed his head to rest on his knees. "You okay…. Um… Humungousaur, right?"

"Ben….. Names…. Ben," he replied, breathing heavily. "Gonna…. Need a minute…. Raven….. Can you…. Tie her up?"

Cyborg stepped forward.

"I got this," he said. After ripping a lamppost out of the ground, the robotic teen pulled Koriand'r up out of the crater Ben made and effortlessly wrapped it several times around her, careful to make sure her hands were covered and held down tight. "That should hold her."

Raven floated over and placed a tentative hand on Ben's massive arm.

"Are you okay?" She asked. "Do you need me to heal you?"

"I feel like I could sleep for a year," he said, turning his head to look down at her. "She's no joke."

The Omnitrix began to beep, and to Cyborg and Beast Boy's surprise, Humungousaur was replaced by Ben. Leaning against Raven, the teen stood up. Already, he could see Koriand'r beginning to stir, now he would have to reason with her, there was no way for him to keep fighting. Turning the dial on the Omnitrix, Ben transformed back into a Tamaranian.

"Koriand'r, it's over," he said, kneeling down in front of her. "You're safe now, there's nothing to fear from us."

The Tamaranian girl scowled at him, but; her expression changed to sadness as tears began to fall.

"How can you say that? How can you tell me that I am safe while wearing my brother's face?" she sobbed. "You should have left me alone, I would have been free by now, but instead you try to steal my mind and pretend to be my brother."

"I never claimed to be Ryand'r, you were going to hurt more people if I left you alone," he replied, placing a hand on her shoulder. "The people of Earth do not understand Tamaranian, that is why I took this form so that I could reason with you. I am sorry that I only caused you more grief and pain."

"What're they saying?" Beast Boy whispered to Cyborg.

"It's all Greek to me," he replied.

"Shhh!" Raven hissed. "It's working."

"I never wanted to hurt anyone, I just wanted to be free," she said, looking down. "I surrender to you, I will do as you command."

Reaching out, Ben ripped the lamp post holding Koriand'r apart. Standing up, he held out his hand. She looked at it in surprise, then up at him before taking it. In a flash of green light Ben was himself again.

"It's over-" as he turned his head away to look at the others, Koriand'r grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him into a kiss.

"Dude!" Beast Boy laughed, not at the kiss itself, but; the jealous look that flashed across Raven's face.

"I apologize for all the damage and pain caused by my actions," Koriand'r said, after pulling away from Ben. "The thought to acquire your Earth language never occurred to me, I had not expected to be on your planet for so long a time."

"What's your name?" Beast Boy asked. "I'm Beast Boy."

"Call me Cyborg,"

"My name is Raven," Raven said.

"And I'm Ben Tennyson," Ben finished. "Welcome to Earth, Koriand'r."

"I'm never gonna be able to say that," Beast Boy said.

"In your language, my name is Starfire," she replied, smiling. "But; now I must leave your planet, staying anymore will put you all in grave danger."

"Grave danger? From what?" Ben asked.

As if to answer his question, a large and intimidating battleship appeared in the night sky over the city. After several seconds a large hologram of a vicious looking lizard alien appeared in front of it.

"People of Earth, we are hunting an alien fugitive and have tracked her to your planet," he said. "Surrender her within 3 of your Earth hours or we will destroy your planet with our particle cannon to make sure she does not escape."

When the face disappeared, the 4 teens looked at the Tamaranian.

"The Gordanians have found me," she said sadly, looking down. "There is nothing we can do now."

"Oh yes there is," Ben said, he stepped forward and turned to look at the 4 other teens. "It's hero time!"
