I do not own Ben 10

Prologue.

All was silent in Bellwood that night, it was the last day of school for our two favorite cousins. Gwen was in her bed dreaming of the wonderful adventures she had with Ben 3 years ago in that summer with their grandpa.

Her room was very clean and organized, if you were to look around you would think that her family had their own house maid. But no, she did it all herself, her large collection of books from fiction, academia, to magic were all organized in neatly in their shelves. Not one thing was out of place.

She was tired from her long day, with the ending of school, meeting with her friends at karate practice, and with packing her belongings for her third trip with her grandpa and cousin

She stirred in her sleep, mumbling something incoherent then she said

"Ben. . . stop it." then she was still but with a smile on her face.

In another part of town Ben was not asleep, he was still up packing his things for his trip with his grandpa and Gwen. He was so excited for his trip that he completely forgot to pack after school. so he was rushing about trying not to wake up his parents on such a late hour. By the time he was done his clock said it was 1:00 am.

"Aww man." then he slumped on his bed and fell asleep.

This year their grandpa wanted something different, since they had already gone on 3 trips around america they had pretty much seen everything so in the middle of the summer he had called Ben and Gwen's parents to convince them to let them go on a overseas trip around Asia.

At first they said they would think about it but eventually they gave in thinking that Ben and Gwen were mature enough to go around in a different continent with their grandpa. That and Gwen's parents wanted Gwen to improve her cantonese while she was abroad.

Although that was not the only reason that grandpa Max wanted for his grandkids to tour around Asia since they seemed to avoid his cooking he decided to bring them to Asia to "broaden" their tastes.

He was able to get the trip pretty much free with the help of some of his old Plumber friends who ended up in the airline business. His plan was to surprise them on the day before the last day of school. When he talked to them over the phone to tell them the news Gwen was ecstatic as she always was to learn about different cultures.

But on the other side of the world in the hot and humid streets of the slums in the Philippines a figure was walking down a shadowy alley. No one was asleep, why would they? It was practically the middle of the day over there.

The figure was not very tall, but was average in that part of the world. He was wearing a cap and in the blistering sun no one could see his face.

He seemed to walk with authority, you know how when a guy come into a room and it seems like he owns the place but not in a cocky way, or the way Clint Eastwood went into a saloon full of deadbeats and everyone gets out of his way? Yeah its like that. But even with the way he walked no one paid him any attention, why should they they had better things to do, besides no one really knows who he is.

As he slipped out of the alley and out of the slums and into the richer part of the city he walked until he reached a warehouse and brought out a large metal object that looked like and old plumbers badge. He placed it on the floor of the warehouse and suddenly lines were becoming visible on the floor and a small set of stairs led underground, he picked up the badge and went down the stairs. When he was out of sight the floor closed up again and there was no trace of the man or the passage.
