Prologue

London Clock Tower, The hidden school of magi where many families send their next of kin to study and build upon their magic with the help of high-quality resources. Many masters from the infinite teachings of magic share their knowledge in the hope that they may reach their main goal of fully understanding the power of the universe.

Within the halls is a man name Zelretch, a man that has been on this earth for hundreds of years. A highly respected individual and also revered for his power over magic as very few people ever see him.

"Master Zelretch, Here are the reports you requested" A man with long black hair in a red coat entered and places the papers on the desk.

Zelretch only nods in acknowledgement and sat back in his chair. Even though he has accepted the man in front of him known as Waver to be his assistant, he rarely talks to him. Waver then walks to the window and was about to light a cigarette, when Zelretch suddenly stood up and stared at the space in front of him.

"Paradox," He says to the space infront of him and with a blue light a man appeared. He had the look of a scientist and a man in his late thirties.

"No matter what I do, Only you can sense me coming." Professor Paradox said greeting the man. Zelretch gets up and walks over to the Proffessor

"As you say: Time travel is only for the immortal and fools." They both shake hands greeting each other.

"Good the see you Zelretch. Haven't aged a day since the last time I saw you."

"And you are still wearing that labcoat" Zelretch then sat back down in his chair.

"Now You only come to me for either tea or me lending my knowledge on the paranormal, and I have a feeling you are looking for the latter."

"A little bit different this time, I ask for a favour." Paradox sits down in the chair across.

"Another? Oh well, it keeps me busy this is it?" Zelretch raises an eyebrow in interest as the time traveller always brings stories that were anything but ordinary.

"I need you to convince the association to keep a blind eye to a certain man who will end up in all too fatal game."

"The Holy Grail War." Zelretch closed his eyes collecting information he had.

"The battle of seven magi and their servants. Now I expect that your man isn't going to be a run of the mill master". Paradox nodded.

"Yes, he will be an eighth master for this battle and will summon a servant.."

"You sure bring in the most interesting situations to my attention. I can keep the Association out of the war besides the masters they intend to send out."

Paradox nods " You wish to know who this man is, Don't you?"

"As a man with great influence, I would like to know where my efforts were going to."

"Alright." Paradox then got up from the chair.

"Ben Tennyson" Paradox's words got the full attention of both Zelretch and Waver.

"Hmm. Interesting. It won't be a problem as he is in the public spotlight, so the Association is trying to avoid him."

"Perfect, Thank you old friend." Paradox then pulls out a pocket watch.

"Oh, before I forget, how's that 'favour' going?"

"The first two are fully functional. The third as about two years away from completion"

Paradox then nods and opened a blue portal. "Well, I should get going. Good to see you again and Thank you"

Zelretch nods and the portal closes leaving the remaining men in the room.

"Master Zelretch who was that man?" Waver asks in confusion and concern.

"Professor paradox, a man who achieve a full understanding of time travel via science" Zelretch answered. Waver then thinks about the holy grail war and how he was once a Master.

"Something on your mind?" The wise man broke his train of thought.

"Should we be concerned about Ben Tennyson participating in this battle? If a recall his powers are not magic-based. Why would the Grail chose him?." Waver asked.

"Ben Tennyson is an interesting individual. It's no surprise that he will be a master." Zelretch simply stated with no concern in his voice. Waver saw that and calmed his thoughts but had one more question in mind."

"Master Zelretch, What is that "Third" one you were talking about?" Waver asked wonder what Paradox asked him to do.

"..."

Waver sighed as he now wasn't going to get an answer and returned to his cigarette.

Chapter 1

Ben Tennyson was more than your average 16-year-old, ever since an alien watch latched itself to his arm when he was ten nothing has been ordinary. He can transform into different alien lifeforms that are currently alive or even extinct. He fought villains such as Vilgax, The High-breed and Ultimate Aggregor all tried to bring harm to the universe but saw their plans to an end thanks to his use of the Omnitrix. Ben now wields The ultimatrix, A variant of the Omnitrix that could hyper evolve DNA to give an edge in combat. Of course, no hero is alone, he always had help thanks to his best friends: His cousin Gwen and past nemesis turned best friend Kevin.

Things were going well for the shapeshifter but the issue's in normal life was beginning to affect his downtime.

"Ben?" Gwen says shaking ben awake sleeping at a Mr Smoothy table. "Ben?" Gwen frustration growing as Ben isn't waking up.

"I got this" Kevin says walking with a greasy bag of ben's favourite fast food item...Chili Fries…

Kevin shakes the bag over his head and Ben darts awake "Oh boy some Chili Fries!"

As ben was about to grab the bag Kevin pulls it away leaving him confused.

"Uhh, what gives?" He notices Gwen not happy with him at the moment

"Ben we need to talk" Ben knows where this is going...ever since he broke up with Julie he's has been..off recently but it hasn't stopped his quest.

"Ben you need to get your head back into school and your..." Gwen was about to mention Julie

"I know I need to get the school back on track. I just don't know how to fix it. 'Going hero has kinda been messing my homework hours"

"Also, you need to stop being mopey about Julie. We are here for you Ben, I just want to know why did you break up with her." Gwen says as she sits right beside ben and Kevin the following suit.

Ben breathed in a huff and sighed. "Fine. I broke up with her because…" He gave a pause "because I want her to live her life with me getting in the way" He says leaving Gwen confused. Back when they were going to help the Mechamorph symbiote, Ship, Save his creator from religious aliens they resolved that situation and Ben saw how happy Julie was having Ship back.

It made him realize a sad truth...

"I thought you were made for each other, surely you can make it work again?" Gwen responded but Ben remained silent.

Kevin then chimes in "If Ben was just a soccer player it would've worked." Kevin continues

"But Ben is always on the hero's duty and is in the spotlight half the time he's in town. Which leaves him little to no time for anyone who doesn't want to be a hero with him all the time."

Kevin hit the nail on the head.

Gwen then understood what he was talking about... If Ben didn't put the Omnitrix back on a year ago on and lived a normal life he might've had a much more steady relationship. Sadly Ben wasn't gonna stop being a hero; his duties kept on getting in the way of Julie's lifestyles along with putting her life on the line. Julie has Ship to help her in a fight but isn't suited for the hero work like Ben was. Unlike Julie, Kevin was ready to be a hero when he joined Gwen and Ben so his relationship with her worked out well since they were a part of team 10.

"I'm sorry Ben, I didn't understand…" Gwen sighed sadly. Signally Kevin to hand over the greasy food. It cheered up ben

"It's ok, Gwen really it is." Ben began chowing down on his favourite food.

When he finished his food Gwen piped in

"So, Me and Grandpa Max have found a way to get you some extra credit for school"

Kevin then bluntly adds: " I was planning on hacking you some boosted mar ...HEY!"

Gwen elbowed him and said "Something legitimate and could be fun for you. We signed you up for a student trip to Japan!"

Ben was surprised and confused, "That sounds cool, but would I need to learn Japanese?"

Gwen chimed in "With the help of some plumber tech and some reading sessions we can get you talking like a native speaker."

Ben Thought for a bit… he could use a vacation and help with school. "Where in japan in exactly?" he asks.

"It's a small city split into two by a river named Fuyuki and you would be going to a local High school. The city is big enough to have the full experience but also small enough that you might not get recognized as hero" Kevin answered.

Ben liked the idea of having some form a secret identity again since his cover was blown by a fan of his.

"Well since I don't have any better Idea's, I guess I'll give it go. I could use a fin trip When do I fly out?" Ben agreed to trip getting a happy smile from Gwen.

"Two weeks from now, let's get the Japanese started later today. Kevin needs to grab the tech first"

"Oh boy." Ben bracing himself for studying but was also excited to go.

3 days before Ben's trip to Fuyuki: Emiya Estate

"Senpai?...Senpai!" Sakura Matou shakes her schoolmate, Shirou Emiya, the adopted son of the late Kiritsugu. Who is sleeping in the backyard work shed like he usually end up due to some bad habits.

"Hmm...Sakura?" Shirou gets up to find his underclassman sitting beside him. He looks around realizing he fell asleep in the shed again fixing something for a friend.

"Morning Senpai! Breakfast is ready" Sakura Happily greeted her friend. "Well, then I should go wash up and meet you in the living room. Oh, and thanks Sakura, Sorry sleeping in"

"Oh no worries, Senpai, you should sleep in now and then since you're so busy," sakura says and walks out. Shirou heads out shortly after questioning the dreams he was having the past couple of days.

"Well time to get to breakfast" Shirou shakes his head and walks out to the living room

"So Shirou, is the Guest room ready for our visitor?" Taiga, Shirou's caretaker, asked him because they have volunteered their home for the student from America.

"Yes, Taiga I have set up the detached cottage because of it closer to a western-style bedroom" Shirou answers while eating his breakfast.

"Taiga sensei what was the boy's name? " Sakura asked

"Ben Tennyson, didn't I mention him before?" Taiga looking confused

"No sensei all you told us is that you volunteered Emiya senpai's home for him to stay in" Taiga slaps her head in humiliation.

"GAH I'm sorry I've been marking assignments and forgot to tell you who is coming!" Taiga takes a deep breath and Shirou chuckles a little.

"Ben Tennyson is a 16-year-old boy from a town in America, well mannered and love helping others"

"Sound like we'll get along now let's hope he doesn't mind our cooking eh Sakura?" Shirou turns to his friend to find her lost in thought and blushing a bit.

"Uh-huh yeah!" Sakura quickly responded.

Taiga quickly turned cat-faced "Ohohohoh Is Sakura-chan interested that she might have another boy like Shirou here?" Sakura turned red as a beet.

"Sensai...that's..not true..".

"Eh Taiga eat your breakfast or your gonna run late," Shirou said saving his friend from Taiga teasing scheme.

"oh oh, Shirou relax" She returns to her third helping of rice.

Out on the streets to school, Shirou walks with Sakura. Normally she would have to leave early due to her being a part of the archery club, Which has early morning practice.

*Police cars dashing by*

"Senpai, is something wrong?" Sakura asking Shirou about the police cars dashing by.

"Don't worry about it Sakura" Shirou responses. The past couple week the city has been a target of murderers and robbers but most of the time the only thing stolen was someone's life. Just thinking about this causes Shirou's blood to boil in silent anger as he wonders why the police haven't caught this criminal.

Later that day Shirou decides to meet up with his friend Issei for lunch and tea in the student council room.

"Ah, Emiya, good to see you." Issei, head of the student council says to Shirou as he enters the student council room

"Yo Issei" Shirou sit across from him and opens his lunch box

"So you're all set for the foreigner coming to your home?" Issei asks.

"Yes and according to Taiga, he's not a troublemaker, so he won't be a disturbance in the school" Shirou finishes and begins eating

"That's good and can I depend on you to show him around the grounds since he will be having the same classes as you?" Issei asks while sipping tea. Turns out Ben Tennyson will be a classmate to Shirou in which Taiga forgot to mention like most things.

"I will Issei, relax"

The bell rings shortly after their lunch and both boys walk to class.

AN: Hey There! This is a story that I had in draft for a long time and finally decided to post it. It is pretty much done but I need to cut some silly parts out and whatnot. I am still working on my other story this is just something to post so I don't look dead.

Now to clear some things up with this story:

The Fate part is going to be a combo of the UBW and FATE Routes with some HF sprinkled in there. Call me Basic but I love all the routes.

The Ben 10 in this story is from Ultimate alien with a WEE but of OC (I didn't like Julie that much) but I will do my best to sound as OG ben as possible. Oh, and I am going to say this now: No Alien X control as that happens way later in Omnivers.(And it would be OP like Come on!) Ben can go toe to toe with most of the servants but with others...*looks over the angry demi-god* our boy is going to need some EXTRA help.
