Ben Across Time

(Unknown Location, Unknown Time)

On a floating meteor in a strange, shadowy world stood Professor Paradox, who was looking over the surroundings with a grim expression. The man had seen timelines that fell into total destruction, but this one was special. He stood upon a place that was destroyed by a grave threat.

"And to think, Benjamin may have to face a potential of this happening to many worlds when the Incurseans get their weapon...a shame," Paradox said with a small sigh before feeling a strange shift in his pocket watch. He looked it over and saw something. "Hmm...two parallel points, separated by about 5-7 years estimated...this cannot be good. Not good at all." He saw the dates and frowned. "What is he planning…?"

(6 Years Prior to Present)

(July 29th, 11:03. Bellwood Mr. Smoothie Parking lot)

At the newly built Mr. Smoothies' Parking lot, Heatblast was currently dodging energy blasts from a figure wearing a brown robe, his hands shining violet. "So...Eon, huh? That's sounds like a lame name. But hey, most villains got lame names." He ducked around another blast before firing a burst of fiery energy towards the man in the cloak.

"Heh...infidel insults. Suited for one your age." Eon said calmly, his voice distorted through a mask as he fired a blast of energy. A dark blue barrier went up as Eon turned to see Gwen there, smirking as she powered up another spell. Unknown to the younger counterparts...something was happening in that same spot…

(Present day. Same place, same day and time)

In the present day, Eon was there as well but was fighting off Ben and his team with many Plumbers standing by in case they needed cover. "It's been awhile, Eon," Wyvurn growled out as he fired down a blast of energy down at Eon, who created a time barrier to block it. "Lets see you keep up with these new aliens I got."

"Heh...I have seen timelines where you have used that beast, Benjamin," Eon said as he ducked around the tailwhip. "Do not forget...we are one and the same. I know how you think."

"Lets see you keep up with us," Julie said as she used a specialized jumping mount for Rook, who sent a Wind Sickle kick into the time-traveling villain which allowed Wyvurn to smack at him with a energy-infused wing slap.

"Ugh…" Eon growled as he slammed his energy blade down. Suddenly a strange purple energy began to ripple down under the ground as the spot began to age rapidly and shatter, causing Wyvurn to nearly fall over. Fortunately, he took to the air before he caused any displacing.

"Okay...need to get this focused…" Wyvurn powered up a burst of energy...at the same time as his younger counterpart was powering up a powerful blast of fire of his own.

"There we go…" Eon said as he put a strange gauntlet on his arm, which Julie caught.

"What is he-" Before Julie could finish, Eon fired the blast just as both Ben counterparts in their respective times fired their attacks as there was a strange clash, which caused time and space to begin to ripple as a strange aura flew around Wyvurn.

(6 Years prior)

The same energy went around Heatblast, who shook his head in confusion as the energy had caused Eon to disappear. "Whoa, that was weird. Huh?" he felt himself in confusion as he felt himself over. "When was I Heatblast? Okay Skurd, if this is a joke its not fun-" He looked down and saw Skurd wasn't on his Insignia...and only saw a confused younger Gwen. "GAAAH!"

"Okay, what's with you, Ben?" asked Gwen in confusion as Ben pointed at her.

"Gwen? You're a kid?! Wait, where did you come from?" Heatblast in confusion as he felt the energy from the Omnitrix that made him turn back to his normal self. "And why am I a kid?" He checked and saw it was the original omnitrix. He stared at it, a little shocked to see it again after a couple years.

"Okay, you're being weirder than usual. What's up?" Gwen asked as Max came over, concerned. "You're talking kind of weird."

"You okay, son?" Max asked as Ben just groaned, rubbing his head.

"I don't know...I hit Eon with one of Wyvurn's blasts and next thing I know I'm 6 years in the past. What's going on?" Ben asked, rubbing his chin at this. "Better hope the others are okay with whatever is going on…"

(In the Present…)

The energy caused a clash of energy, sending Julie, Rook and the other Plumbers back. Julie groaned as she saw Eon had disappeared. "Did Ben vaporize him?"

"Doubtful...Eon is tricky." Max said as Wyvurn was looking around, his face puzzled. Max looked up at him in confusion. "You okay up there, son?" Wyvurn blinked as he was studying the area around him.

"...Okay, how did I get up in the sky? And why does Bellwood look...different? And what's with my voice?" Wyvurn asked in confusion as he rubbed his neck...only to then notice his wing-like arm. "What the…?" He looked down...and his eyes widen. "WHOA! AWESOME! I'M A DRAGON!"

"Ben?" Rook asked in confusion as Wyvurn flew down, excited. He saw the group and blinked, squinting a bit before recognizing Grandpa Max.

"Grandpa, check it out! I got an awesome new dragon alien!" Ben said with a laugh as Skurd looked in confusion.

"Okay, did that energy blast wipe out some of his memories?" Skurd asked as Wyvurn looked down in confusion.

"Who said that? Who's talking?" asked Ben before Skurd stretched up to look at him in the eye. "...Gross. Talking booger." He said in disgust.

"Okay, something is wrong here." Julie said as Skurd concentrated and Ben turned back to normal, as he looked at himself. "Ben, what's wrong?"

"Hmm...a temporal mental inversion...interesting effect, but it should work for me." a voice said as Eon appeared again, removing his hood to reveal his purple-tinted glass helmet, a mouth guard over his mouth. "Now to get what I want…"

"You again? Time to take you-Whoa...what's with the Omnitrix?" Ben asked in surprise, looking it over. "It's all...small and watch-like. More than it was before." He pressed on it...and saw the holograms of the many aliens. "Whoa! I got like...a lot of aliens now! This is awesome!"

"Enough of your childishness, where is Paradox!?" Eon demanded, his eyes shining in anger as he glared down at the group. Rook and Julie got ready, Skurd quickly slinking up Ben's arm, much to his disgust.

"Paradox? Who's that?" Asked Ben, as Eon growled in frustration. "What? I don't think I met that guy yet if this is the future."

"...Of course, he'd go for the other one." Eon said, his posture relaxing as he looked at the group, giving a soft laugh. "Though...seeing this group together again is oddly nostalgic to my own version of the team. Ah well…" He chuckled as he vanished in a light violet shift in the air.

Rook looked a bit uneasy by that turn of phrase as he looked at the others, concerned. "What did he mean by that…?"

"I agree...that was quite odd…" Skurd said, his tone unsure as Julie looked to Max with a confused expression.

"Who is that guy, Max? I heard a bit about Eon from Ben, but I never got the full picture." Max nodded, understanding why Julie was asking this.

"That Eon is actually a version of Ben, who was corrupted by the original Eon after an Alternate Ben defeated him. Our Ben met him when a version of his future self came to us with Paradox." Max explained, as Rook nodded. "Currently he's taken the form of a Chronian clone of the true Eon."

"So a Chronian...that would explain how he was able to get to Argost." Ben looked confused at what Rook said, tilting his head slightly. Julie just sighed, holding Ben's hand.

"Come on, let's get you back to the base so we can figure this out." Ben was blushing faintly, given that a pretty girl was holding his hand, but he tried to keep a straight face about it as they all headed back, unaware of someone watching the group from afar.

(Back in the past…)

"So...let me get this straight." Gwen muttered as she looked at Ben, who was trying to look over his Omnitrix inside of the Rustbucket. "You're from the future...or at least your brain is? How does that make sense?"

"Eon hit me with a weird energy blast...and next thing I know I'm in my younger body," Ben explained as he rubbed his throat. "Man, did my voice always sound this high? That's an awkward thing to not remember…"

"Ehehe...Puberty is an interesting thing, is it not young Tennyson?" a voice asked, causing Gwen to jump in surprise as Paradox arrived, giving the two a smile.

"Who the heck are you!?" Gwen asked in a panic, eyes wide and several things suddenly falling as a blue-violet aura came around various items. "Huh…?" Gwen asked herself in confusion as she saw the blue aura she usually had at this age starting to gain a more purple hue.

"Ah, so this is during her maturing stage I see," Paradox said with a wistful tone as he shrugged. Max came over and looked at the man oddly. "I do apologize for the sudden arrival, but I need aide from young Ben Tennyson. We are allies, or we will be allies in a later date."

"He's a time traveler." Ben explained as Max and Gwen just slowly nodded, fairly confused as the two moved away from them so they could talk privately. "You got any idea why I'm like this after meeting Eon again, Paradox?"

"Not a one...did he have something with him?" Paradox inquired, which made Ben stroke his chin in thought before snapping his fingers in a realization, remembering that gauntlet he had.

"That weird glove! He put it on when I blasted him with Wyvurn's energy blast!" Ben said with a bit of excitement. He coughed a bit as he gave a sheepish smile. "Sorry." Paradox only chuckled in amusement before looking ahead, glaring as he sensed something nearby.

A purple circle appeared on the ground as Eon arrived, the purple clad Chronian smirking under his helmet. "Well, this is where you are? Alright, Time walker. I want your Chrononavigator, now." He said, holding a hand out for it.

"You know I will not give it to you," Paradox sneered as he brandished a cane-like weapon with a pointed end at the bottom. He tapped it and then suddenly seemed to shimmer and form as Eon fought back. Ben, as well as Max and Gwen who came out, could only watch with shock as they saw the after images of the two time travelers clashing.

The images they could see was Paradox parrying against the energy blade created by Eon, before the Chronian blindsided him with an energy attack. Due to Paradox's unique physiology, all it did was slightly scuff his coat as his cane was knocked aside before the malevolent time-walker grabbed him by the collar.

"Paradox!" Ben quickly slammed on the Omnitrix, turning into Grey Matter...much to his chagrin. "Aaah come on! Ugh! This stupid glitch! I forgot it had this!" He yelled out in annoyance before trying to run ahead but Paradox put a hand up.

"Don't worry, Benjamin. I'm sure you got this well in hand. Just make sure to keep yourself uplifted and the answers will be there for you." Paradox cryptically spoke as the two vanished, making Grey Matter pause as he looks at the cane.

"Uplifted...hmm…" He then moved over to the rounded top of the cane...and out came out a pocket watch. "The Chrononavigator…!" Grey Matter quickly picked it up and ran towards the RV. "I need to hide this thing, stat!" He reached behind him but growled at his shorter limbs. "Ugh! Stupid prebubesent amphibious limbs! Gwen, slam on the Omnitrix face on my back."

"Huh, why do I-"

"Just do it!" Gwen looked surprised at how forceful his tone was before she did so as he glows, turning into XLR8.

"Great, thanks!" He said as he quickly went to work and started to do things with it. "Gwen, I need you to do something VERY important. This is due or die stuff. Whatever you do…" He then took out a piece of the Chrononavigator; a strange blue crystal, and handed it to her. "Do NOT lose this. Find me in about...5 or 6 years. Especially if word about Eon gets around, bring this back to me. Understood?"

Gwen blinked at her cousin's request, but seeing how serious Ben sounded...she nodded as she held the small orb tightly. "Gotcha, Ben, I'll make sure to remember."

"Thanks, dweeb," He said with a smile before using the tools to take the machine apart quickly, trying to keep most of it in big enough pieces. He soon confirmed his satisfaction with his work with a nod as he took them. "Gotta go, see ya!" He then vanished in a burst of speed, as Gwen looked at the orb curiously.

(6 years later…later in the day)

In front of the Plumber HQ's entrance, the current era Gwen arrived via a borrowed car from Kevin, getting out after an alert came to her badge. She looked at a ring box cautiously and nodded as she went inside of the base.

In the main hub area, the younger Ben was currently trying to avoid boredom while Rook and Max were talking strategy while he was giving a slightly annoyed look as Verdona was currently nearby, concentrating her mana on his head.

"So you're my Grandma? Where were you?" Ben asked curiously as Verdona gave a sheepish chuckle.

"I was trying to avoid meeting a parasitic alien that hunts my species, the Anodites. And before you ask; you don't have the spark active inside of you, so you're not an Anodite yourself," Verdona explained as she stood up, as if finding something with a confused Ben just trying to figure it out.

"You get anything from him?" Rook asked as Julie looked on with equal curiosity. Rad came up with his blaster at the ready just in case Eon showed up in the base. He was a time traveler, he could be anywhere.

"It appears it is a younger Ben inhabiting his body...this is an ancient form of magic, something even I am not familiar with," Verdona explained, causing Rook to groan. "What's wrong, dear?"

"Forgive me, Mrs. Tennyson. But I have enough issues with a teenage Ben, who can handle a pre-adolescence one?" Ben gave an annoyed glare to Rook for the remark before they heard the door open, and saw Gwen coming in with a small nod.

"I think I can." She gave a smile as she looked at Ben curiously. "So this is the situation? Let me guess...mind swap?"

"...Yes, how did you know?" Julie asked with a confused tone, before giving a sigh as an idea formed. "Don't tell me...precognition now? Did you get that?"

Gwen caught what she was insinuating before giving a small laugh. "No, I didn't see into the future. Back when I was 11, Eon showed up out of nowhere and Ben started acting weird. I think whatever Eon is doing is slightly affecting my memories. Whatever changes Ben makes in the past now, we are affected by it."

"That would explain the shifts in Mana...why are yo here?" Verdona asked as Gwen placed the box in front of them all.

"Before Ben sped off as XLR8 way back, he gave me this." She opened it, revealing the device. The sight of it made Rad and Verdona go wide eyed in surprise

"That's...the core of the Chrononavigator." Verdona breathed out in surprise, her eyes blinking. "So Ben took it apart…"

"I still think we should remember more about this...time travel for you." Max said with a small groan of annoyance. "Always gives me a headache. Just hope Paradox is okay…"

(Unknown Location)

In an unknown dimension, Paradox was bound to a cross made out of energy in an empty throne room. It looked like an old church-like building in front of what looks like a large disc on the back, which was broken down the middle. "So this dimension's Hands are destroyed as well...hehe, looks like that plan went well," Paradox said with faint mirth.

"This is not the time for pleasantries, Timewalker!" Eon growled in clear annoyance. "Tell me where the Chrononavigator is, old man."

"Now now, Benjamin...if you still go by that name." Eon gave a glare at Paradox. "Then I'll use the name of the one you are succeeding; 'Eon', do you really think I would tell you where it is?"

Eon gave a snarl in response as he slammed his hand against it. "I am wise to your tricks, Paradox. You would have hidden it somewhere I couldn't find, but you could use with ease. Now...what did you have then that you don't have now…"

A cough drew their attention as Argost arrived, holding a strange device as four men stood behind him, all wearing dark purple armor. "Pardon the intrusion, my good man. These fine lads have told me they were waiting for their orders."

"Simple; Get me the Chrononavigator! There should be a signal that you can follow with its core. Try and get a tracker set up with Subdora." Eon said as a taller of them gave a nod before they followed Argost. Eon then heard Paradox chuckling and tossed a glare. "You find this amusing, elder?"

"Indeed. You have changed, Benjamin. At least in this version...how were you convinced by the previous Eon's honeyed words?" Paradox asked, a hint of sadness in his voice.

Eon's hands clenched before he stormed off, punching a wall with a time energy infused punch. He glared at a Robotic guard as he yells, "Make sure he's not taken out of that cell!" He stormed off, wondering what the Bens were doing right now.

(Present time. Mr. Smoothies)

"Hmm...if he took it apart, then he should have split them to pieces…" Rad said from inside of the Proto-Truk, as he was setting up a tracking device with Rook's aide by using the energy core to act as it's main tracking focal point. Julie was keeping an eye on Ben with Gwen...and she was stuck in the middle of them arguing.

"You're dating Kevin 11 of all people?!" Ben asked in shock, while Gwen gave a glare of annoyance. "Is this the crazy future or something!?"

"Hey, Kevin is a good guy now! I mean...yeah, he stumbles at points and he's still got problems with that energy madness stuff, but he's trying to go good still. You even helped save him a few times!"

"But still, you're dating him! That's all kind of weird!" Ben exclaimed in a slightly whiny voice as Ship just gave a sigh.

"Just what I wanted to hear today...an argument about dating," Skurd sighed with an annoyed tone, his eyes giving a squinted look at Ben. "Really now, I know you have the mind of a child right now, but grow up some. Actually, upon reflection, there's not much difference between then and now, is there?"

"Okay, is it your job to give me snippy remarks or something?" Ben asked as he stared at Skurd with an incredulous look. The Slimebiote, for his part, merely responded with a scoff.

"Please, if I was paid for this indignity, I'd be richer than that Billions boy. No, my job is to make sure this device," he tapped the Omnitrix's faceplate to emphasize his point, "doesn't overload and break your body's DNA apart atom by atom."

"Why would Azmuth do that?" Ben asked with a frown, making Skurd sigh.

"Look, it's a long story involving betrayals on my end, you becoming a random assortment of weaker aliens, your friends and enemies having your powers...it's a long and tedious story."

"Okay, we got the tracker set up," Rad said as he came out, making sure no one was looking as he did so. "We got it hooked up to the Proto-Tool's mapping system."

"And this is the odd thing. The pieces aren't just in Bellwood, where two pieces are. But in other locations as well; They are also at an army base, a rural farm and what appears to be a town in Nevada," Rook explained, showing the five locations.

"Wait…" Julie took a closer look and before speaking, "That's Grandsmith tower...and Mr. Baumann's store here in Bellwood. What are those other three places?"

Gwen squinted as she looked at the addresses before giving a nod. "I know those places; the base is where Joel is stationed right now, the farm is our cousin Clyde's and the town in nevada is where the Green family lives."

"Now why would Ben bring them to those people…?" Skurd asked as he stroked his "chin," as Gwen snapped her fingers in realization.

"Because Eddie, Clyde, Baumann, Joel and the Greens know Ben's secret!" Gwen exclaimed as she looked at them. "We need to head to those locations, fast!" They all nodded as they ran into the Proto-Truk before it shifted into ship mode and took off towards Grandsmith tower.

At that building, Eddie was looking over something at that moment; a clock face that seemed to house what appeared to be a still dot on the right side between the six and seven marker on it. He then heard a shift in the air. "Hmm?" He looked up and went wide-eyed as he saw a figure wearing purple armor appear.

"G'Day, Mr. Grandsmith. I think you got something that belongs to mah boss," The young man spoke, his voice rather rough sounding. "So hand it ovah 'fore things get rough."

Eddie frowned as he addressed the intruder, "I think you forget who this building used to belong too." The young billionaire pressed a button on his desk as several weapons came out. The masked man looked around before giving a sigh.

"Wanted tah be nice." The stranger got his own balster out and fired quickly, dodging any fire coming his way. Eddie ducked behind his desk as his security lasers were being taken out by this young man.

Eddie looked up and gave a nervous sounding yelp when he saw a blaster pointed at his face. But before the stranger could fire, a sudden shockwave of sound hit his ears. He looked out to see the Proto-Truk firing out a sonic burst that shattered the window.

"Ugh, that was annoyin…" The man said with a frustrated tone as a green arm grabbed Eddie and dragged him inside, Wildvine stretching out to get him. "Hey! Get back 'ere!" He said in anger as Wildvine got Eddie inside.

"How about now, creep!" Wildvine shouted with a hiss as Skurd mixed some Stinkfly goop to the bombs on his back. With them given a sticky residue, the plant alien tossed them with good accuracy. The goo even acted as a power up to the seeds, making them blow up much stronger than usual.

"Oh, my secretary is not gonna like that…" Eddie cringed as he looked at the group. "So that was the first time an assassin just teleported in my office...I'm guessing it's over this thing?" Eddie asked as he showed the clock face.

Gwen nodded and confirmed Eddie's suspicions. "Yep, that's part of the Chrononavigator." There was a beep sound coming from a communicators as Rook answered.

"Yes?" There were sounds of explosions on the other end as an image of an older Native American man came up, who was ducking and dodging around blasts. "And you are?"

"I am Magister Wes Green of the Earth Plumbers. I am requesting back up from Ben Tennyson's squad. Is this them?" He asked as Ben looked over curiously. "Max told me the situation. It would explain why I am being hunted."

That got their attention, as Ship slinked out to make the engines more powerful. "Hunted? How so?" Gwen asked as a snarl could be heard as Wes ducked around, nearly getting slashed by what looks like purple clawed hands. "Whoa!"

"Okay, that's screwed up!" Ben said in shock as the Proto-Truk's Engines supercharged and headed towards Nevada, making a sonic boom with it using the warp drive to head there faster.

In the valley below, Wes ducked around a large rock to get away from another helmeted warrior. His hands were exposed; they appeared to be corrupted and violet in color, with splotches of sickly blue skin showing

Wes panted as the creature seemed to be skulking around, almost animalistic in his search. "Green...you have something that I want…" the stranger growled out, his voice a slight hiss.

"Is he talking about that chain Ben gave me…?" Wes asked himself with a frown before a boom is heard. The creature looked up with a small growl as something fell from above.

"LOOK OUT BELOW!" Ben yelled out in a slight panic as he was in the form of Sandbox...and was having trouble with the wings at that moment.

"IT IS LIKE STINKFLY, YOU PREPUBESCENT TROGLODYTE!" Skurd yelled out as they were falling. "USE THE WINGS LIKE THAT!" Sandbox gave a sheepish sounding laugh as the wings began to buzz correctly and get some air time, shooting out a blast of sand at the villain to help his height.

"Whoa, cool! I can shoot out sand! What else can I do?" asked Sandbox as he noticed something...interesting; he was in a desert, which gave him plenty of material to create sand. "Huh…" He tapped his chin, as if an idea was forming. "Mr. Green, get to the ship! I got ugly here!"

"How?" Asked Wes as the Proto-Truk landed nearby, and looked at Ben who just gave him a nod, which he returned. Eddie and Gwen helped Wes onboard as they took off, the other guy trying to run after them but was stopped by Sandbox.

"Let's try this out!" He concentrated as he manipulated the sand he had already shot out, making it mix with the sand around him as his wings began to beat a fast rate. Suddenly a large tornado made out of sand started to form around the other guy and create a sandstorm environment. "Heh, cool! Sandstorm maker!"

"Heh, clever! Using the pre-existing sand and mixing it with your own to create the amount of sand needed for the sandstorm technique. Quite intuitive," Skurd said with a slightly impressed tone as Sandbox only smirked.

The stranger roared out as he tried to slash at Ben, who retaliated with his own clawed hands. The two stagnated before they started to try and claw each other, Skurd adding some kick to Ben's own claws by using Ghostfreak's talons to extend them out.

"Ghostfreak…" the armored man growled, while Ben looked curious. But quickly sent a kick at his head to make his body go through the sandstorm around him. The figure looked up, before Ben and Skurd froze when they saw the bluish-purple skin under and the sickly green eye before he vanishes in a purple light.

"How did he know about Ghostfreak?" asked Ben, looking at Skurd curiously. The living slime shrugs as Ben's phone rang. "Hmm?" He looks at it and answers, "Yes?"

"BEN! HELP! I'M BEING CHASED BY A CRAZY GUY FOR A CLOCK PIECE!" Clyde screamed on the other end. Ben cringed at how loud it was.

"Yep, that's Clyde…" Ben rubbed his ear before scrolling through his aliens and slamming down on the watch, turning into XLR8 and speeding ahead. Skurd looked at the Plumbers database to get a good tie into Clyde's signal before coming across the sight.

There they saw an older man wearing armor glaring down at Clyde, who was groaning. XLR8 glared at the taller figure before sprinting for a tackle, but the man grunted as he held his ground.

"Nice try…" the man then tossed Ben down. The Kinicelearian quickly got up to swipe at him with his tail and Skurd slinked up the tail before shifting into bandages to bind the man.

"I'll be taking this." One of the bandages then grabbed the clock piece before XLR8 spun to send him into Clyde's car. He quickly grabbed Clyde and speed off, the man grunting but had a hidden smirk under his helmet.

XLR8, Skurd and Clyde soon arrived back at the Mr. Smoothies in Bellwood, with Rad and Rook working on the ChronoNavigator and putting it back together. "Hmm...so this is the Chrononavigator…" Rad said to himself in thought as XLR8 gave the last piece, which the duck-like alien began to put in.

"So, wonder why we needed these...why did Future me break it to pieces?" Asked XLR8 in confusion as Rad put it back fully.

"It's simple…" A voice said calmly as they turned to see all four of the goons arriving, their eyes narrowed under their masks. A fifth portal opened as Eon came out, crossing his arms. "Likely tried to delay the inevitable. But now...I'll be taking that pocket watch, if you do not mind."

"Oh, we mind," XLR8 said with a scowl as he looked at Skurd, "Mind giving me something I can beat this time traveling creep with?" Skurd then looked through the database before nodding.

"This should do it." He slammed down on the chest piece as he shimmered into Articguana, making him hiss out steam. Eon jumped forward for the watch, but Rook was able to get a spin kick on this to deflect him.

The more feral henchmen then went for it, but Julie blocked him with one of her energy blasts; currently in her default armor. Rad gave back up fire as the two began to send energy towards them.

Gwen used her magic to get the Chrononavigator to her from the desk and tried to turn it on. "Come on Paradox...where are you…?" She asked as she tried to meddle with it, causing it to spark up as her mana mixed with the chrono tech.

"What…?" Eon asked as he saw the area around him start to shift, as if a mirror started to form behind him and hisses. "So the wall of my two anchors are meeting...this should be annoying…"

Articguana looked confused as he quickly saw a younger version of himself and Gwen. "Gwen?" he asked in confusion as the two looked over.

"Wait...Ben!?" Gwen asked in shock as she also saw the older Gwen. "Is that...Me?!"

"Careful children...this is not something to trifle with." said a voice as they saw Paradox in between the two, though he seemed to fade in and out of the battle. "History has already been damaged enough."

"Timewalker...what is this?" Eon asked in anger as his body glowed with chronic genergy, as Paradox just scoffs.

"Despite your connection to Ben Tennyson, you seemed to not have their usual shared ability to understand basic danger; you used Maltruant's gauntlet to cause this time shifts, it is starting to collapse in on these two anchor points. We must stop this now before time itself collapses in on the weight."

Eon gave a growl at this as he put the gauntlet back on. "No...if you say we will destroy these points, then I shall destroy both of these Tennysons." He raises his hand as younger Ben dodged, hissing out mist.

"Ben, use Clockwork!" Paradox called out, getting both of their attention. "His time powers can be a great aid."

The older Ben held up his arm and said, "Hello! I don't have him!" Then it clicked, making him look at the ice lizard. "But he does...Skurd!"

"On it! I'll aid the younger Benjamin, you distract the goons," Skurd commended and proceeded to whisper an idea to young Ben, who smirked. Rook and Julie tag-teamed a strike while Gwen gave Rad a boost, getting a few shots in at Eon, who Grunted in mild pain and irritation.

They kept the fighting up as Eon tried to aim at the younger Ben again, but a tendril quickly wrapped around him. "Oh no you don't!" said the older Ben, as Underwraps. He made more gauze go around him. "Pretty sure your powers don't really work well on Anur Aliens."

"Ugh… No, their extended life spans make it very difficult…" Eon admitted as he tried to grip one of them while he attempted to zap it off and make that particular part into dust. "But not impossible."

"Well, I hope you dealt with what you wanted!" A voice said as Clockwork was formed, his body shifting as Skurd extended out Upgrade's arms. "Because you're time's up!" He then formed an eye from a mechamorph on his hand to charge up his chrono energy and fired at the gauntlet.

"NO!" Eon yeled out as the gauntlet was blasted off, the Gwens using their magic to free Paradox while the artifact was atomized from his hands and reformed near Paradox.

"Hey Doc, I think this is your's!" Rad shouted as he jumped off of one of the goon's heads and threw the Chrononavigator like a shuriken towards Paradox, who quickly caught it with surprising ease.

"Thank you, my good mallard. Now to get this insanity fixed with." Paradox vanished and picked up the gauntlet. He concentrated the chrono energy from his own body through the two artifacts as the area started to shine. "Sadly though, you may not remember this occurring. Quite a pity...you have learned a lot."

"Yeah...good seeing me, I guess," Underwraps said to his younger counterpart, who just gave a thumbs up.

"Yeah, back at you." he said with a chuckle as the light enveloped the area as Eon yelled out in rage.

(July 29th, 10:43. Mr. Smoothies, Bellwood USA. Present Time)

The Proto-Truk arrived at Mr. Smoothies for a early-morning smoothie run. "Man, Patrol last night was brutal…" Ben said with a yawn as they got out of the truck. "Been up all night…"

"Yeah...you want anything, Rad?" Julie asked with a small yawn of her own, as Rad just tilted his hat back while in the back seat.

"Nah, I am just gonna catch some Zs. Wake me up when something exciting happens." Rad said with a chuckle as he went to sleep.

"Heh, let us hope nothing too exciting goes down." Rook said with a chuckle as the three headed to the counter, Paradox watching near by with a small smile before would be a peaceful day after all.

End of Episode 10

MAAAAN did this take awhile to come out. I am really sorry I haven't updated this story in so long. But I hope you enjoyed it and was worth this long wait. Again, very sorry. Also for those interested, I did start a new fic; a Young Justice and My Hero Academia crossover. Hope you enjoy that too. Please Read, Review and Suggest away!
