Chapter 1

"Say, Rook, what exactly are these 'spacequakes'?" Ben sat beside Rook as they rode the Proto-TRUK through the Bellwood. "What are we supposed to investigate?"

"You see Ben," the blue felid-like humanoid, Rook, began to explained, "they can be said to be portals linking our world to a world we've never seen, creating a crater in the process."

Just then, a beeping sound was heard.

"That's our spacequake detector, right?" Ben asked.

"That is correct, Ben," Rook replied as he watched Ben hop off the Proto-TRUK with a radar. "Ben, will you be alright?"

"You can always count on me, Rook. I do have a lot of experience, after all," Ben then brisk-walked towards the source.

"Huh?"

Beh felt a light tremor in the air.

"It's coming," Ben spoke, "I think Humongosaur can handle this!"

Before Ben could slam his palm down on his watch, a giant orb of darkness expanding from nothingness and blasted him afar and obliterated his radar, but before he could touch the ground, he pressed the watch, the Omnitrix, but it seemed that he didn't transform into the form he wanted...

He managed to levitate off the ground before he fell to a possible death, then performed a safe landing, his back facing the sky. Just then, he saw a woman in purple armour, pointing her broadsword at the hero Benjamin Tennyson.

"You, lady, have you come to slay me?"

Ben was shocked. "No, no-"

Something was wrong with Ben's voice. It sounded too feminine to be male. Noticing this, Ben felt his chest and moaned, knowing there was something different - it felt a little bigger. He got up and noticed his long, silky, rainbow-hued hair. "Hmmm... not bad."

Just then, up in the sky, Ben could see a few women clad in black plugsuits of sorts descending down to the ground.

"It's them..." The purple-clad girl muttered.

"Princess and Unknown Spirit identified. Permission to fire," one of these women said. Shortly after, they aimed their weapons at both the purple maiden and Ben's new form.

"Spirit huh? So that's what they call these guys?" Ben said to himself as he looked down, noting that he was wearing what looked like a green-black-white colour scheme sports bra and spats. He looked at the purple lady's armour. "Oh come on. This is a joke."

There was no time to think, they were being under attack.

Ben put his- or her arms in front, seeing what she could do. A small, dark orb was formed. "Not bad, what does this do?" She then flung it straight at the attack force, before it exploded, creating quite an amount of damage.

The purple one beside her used her sword to create sonicbooms, easily blasting the attack force away. This awed Ben, until he noticed that one of the attackers was aiming for her blind spot. Ben went in front of the purple one, blocking the energy sword with her bare hands.

"Hey girl, what's your name?" Ben asked the purple one.

"I do not have one, but they call me... the Princess," the purple one - Princess, spoke.

"There's a time to go hero and there's a time to run, Princess," Ben said, "RUN!"

Ben then created another explosion of darkness, destroying the energy sword and blasting its wielder away, along with the rest of the attack force. The smoke created allowed Ben and the Princess to escape.

Ben and the Princess were in an empty alley, away from those that struck them.

"Those guys, who are they?" Ben asked as she wiped the sweat off her head.

"Mecha Mecha Squad, they never give up," the Princess pouted. "Anyways, thank you for your help. No one, not even another Spirit, has done that to me before. What are you called?"

"I'm Ben Tennyson, world famous superhero," Ben smiled as she twirled her silky rainbow hair. She tried to smack the emblem on her choker, but failed to transform back into her human form.

"Hmmm, I don't think I've heard of you, but you are a hero, and my first friend, that I definitely know," the Princess' frown turned into a smile.

"Well, I've got to find my friend Rook. Now, let's see if these other functions work..." Ben pressed a few buttons on his Omnitrix emblem. A voice emitted, "miss me Ben?"

Just then, Ben and the Princess looked up to find the Proto-TRUK hovering above them. They simply flew towards it, then entered it.

"I would question about your new form, Ben," Rook commented as he drove, "but who is your new friend?"

"She says they call her 'the Princess', and she is under attack by some 'Mecha Mecha Squad'. Is there any way to help her?" Ben replied with a question.

"Princess? I could have sworn that I have heard of this name while looking through some documents," Rook said as a holographic screen appeared in front of him. "It says here that the Princess is classified as a Spirit, a sentient species the Plumbers have little data about. That is your current form, Ben."

"So, any information on the 'Mecha Mecha Squad'?" Ben asked Rook.

"I do not believe there is. However, there is a team known as the 'Anti-Spirits Team', or AST for short. who originally operated in Japan alongside the Japanese Government, until Spirits starting appearing outside Asian regions," Rook explained.

"It's the Mecha Mecha Squad!" the Princess saw the hologram of what Rook called the AST, and then stepped onto the ground. "Sandalphon!"

In a matter of seconds, the ship was sliced in two, causing Rook to fall while the Princess and Ben hovered. "If only I had Ball-" Ben spoke before realising that he possessed flight, then descended from the sky to catch Rook before touching the ground.

"Thank you Ben. We're right here," Rook pointed to a shop that has a sign 'Max's Plumbing'. "Miss, come with us," Rook smiled at the Princess as they all walked in.

"Hey boys, good to see that you're back," an elderly man in a Hawaiian shirt, known to Ben as 'Grandpa Max', greeted Ben and Rook. "I see you brought a new friend."

"Greetings Magister Tennyson," Rook greeted, "about our efforts, we have found a Spirit, two if you count Ben's new form. They have been pursued by the AST, I believe." He continued by whispering into Grandpa Max's ear, "she destroyed my Proto-TRUK with a single blow after seeing a hologram of the AST, so I am unsure if we should let her in."

"Ben? What's going on?" the Princess looked a little worried as she looked at Ben's Spirit form.

"It's alright Princess, I promise that there is no AST or Mecha Mecha Squad in there, just images of them," Ben smiled back as all three of them followed Grandpa Max to a secret entrance, leading to a lift...

"You see kids, we Plumbers have a very rocky relationship with the AST," Grandpa Max began to tell a tale, "not much can be said now..."

(I hope you all enjoyed my first chapter of my story, Date 10 Live! It just came to be some day when I was thinking of the numerous races Ben could turn into if there was a crossover scenario. Do leave some criticism so that I can take it to improve , harsh or not.)
