Another day, another dollar, my man ben 10 out here working hard, fighting aliens. Nothing too serious, just another invasion by Vilgax, because apparently, bro doesn’t know when to just give up.

“Ben 10, you will retreat and hand me the Omnitrix! And in return, I’ll consider sparing you!” Said the green tentacle critter as he held Ben down on the ground.

Obviously, this wasn’t the best situation he was in, I mean.. His Omnitrix timed out, and his arms are pinned behind his back, idk guys, he might be cooked 😔🙏.

. . .

Nah, I’m just joking, on god I am.

“Ben! Move!” Yelled the one and only goat, Rook BLONKO!!! He fired his gun, which, with his perfect god tier aim, sniped Vilgax right in the eyes and made Brosky stumble back. Not that far back, and it barely did any damage.

But it allowed Ben to free himself from Vilgax, and of course, once his arms were free, you alr know what he did next. “Oh yeah! It’s hero time 👨🫳⌚!1!11!”

Slamming his hand down onto his watch, his body morphed and bent into an alien freak.. Not ghost freak, but instead, NRG.

“Yessss!!! IT is GOOD! To be FREE!” He flew right out of his suit and into the air, letting off a bright red light that temporarily blinded everybody in the area.

Ben paused, right.. Now’s not the time to be cheering, first, he’s gotta take down Vilgax. Bursting with energy, Ben lunged at Vilgax like he was foxy from fnaf 2, and tackled him down onto the ground.

“Take this!” His body heat was quite literally burning Vilgax, infact, he was burning so hot that the area around him (the city) grew hotter. Felt like they were on the surface of the sun or sumthin.

Rook, sweating like he had just come out of a sauna, was on the ground, panting as if his life depended on it. “B-Ben! Your heat, it is cooking us, you not to stop before you accidentally—”

It was sudden and made literally no sense. But his intense power caused– err, BURNED a literal hole in time and space, making what looked like a wormhole. “What the hell!?😨” Ben faltered, confused and a bit wary of what was going on.

That falter did, however, let Vilgax kick him away “I have no idea what’s happening.. But that doesn’t matter!” He grabbed his sword and swung at Ben, but luckily, my actual goat managed to dodge at the last second.

“Wait! This doesn’t really look like the time too–” The Wormhole grew bigger, pulling Ben into it “Gah! Rook, HELPPP!” Rook leapt over with the power of 3 and a half frogs to grab him, but was forced back by some odd force.

“Ben!” he shouted, reaching out for him. But the Wormhole closed, taking Ben with it…

… Floating in a pitch black void. He was starstruck, his transformation done, so he had reverted back into a normal human being. “Ugh.. seriously, guess I’m gonna go on some random adventure again..” He muttered in an annoyed tone, arms crossed as he huffed.

Ben had already had enough of these space adventures for now, I mean.. Space is cool, but he legit just wants to spend one normal day, maybe hang out with his mom or Rook? Not fight Aliens, or meet other versions of him, or have to save the universe again.

“I swear to god–” Before he could finish his words, the tunnel ahead of him grew white, before flashing and blinding him for a moment. When he regained his sight, he was in the middle of a street “Huh—”

Nearly getting hit by a car cut him off, “HUH!?” But, being the absolute goated person he is (no glaze, promise🥺), he dodged, just because he can. Ben ran over to the sidewalk to get away from all the 1 ton machines.

Letting out a sigh, he rubbed his nose bridge, taking a second to calm himself. “Okay, so obviously.. I’m damn well not on my planet, I can already tell i’m just probably not.” Shoving his hands into his hoodie's pockets, he decided to make a move, as in move away from the place he was at, as everybody was staring at him.

I mean, he did just suddenly appear in the street and nearly get run over by some cars.

—-

After walking for about fifty minutes, he realised at least one thing. He’s in Japan, he can tell by all the billboards, and the fact that he asked some random person what country they were in.

“Japan? Huh, that’s not too bad..” The corners of his mouth slightly raised, “Maybe I should do some more exploring.. I wonder if they have that new Diamond Sumo Slammer action figure here.”

He should be worried, you know, about the whole |I got sent🚶‍♂️‍➡️ into another world😰!!!| But, this has happened too many times for it to be a genuine issue to him.

That's what he’d say if he didn’t notice some weird, burgundy, fleshy thing moving in the corner of his eye. “Vilgax?” He mumbled quietly, reaching for his watch as he slowly made his way to the alley where he saw that weird thing.

Ben peeked around the corner, “Hel–” He stopped himself from speaking once he saw what was in the alley. A purple beast with a deformed human face on its stomach, and a pink-haired guy punching the thing with some black aura on his hands.

“...” Well, this wasn’t the weirdest thing he’s ever seen. Must be an alien or something, guess he’ll have to take care of it. Quickly fidgeting with his watch, he had already chosen his alien “It’s HERO TIMEEEE!” He slammed his hand down again!

You already know what happens next: his body morphs, blah blah. NOW he’s the speediest of speedy speedsters XlR8! “I’ve got this🏃‍♂️‍➡️😼!” He zoomed straight over to where the cursed spirit was, then proceeded to hit the hideous beast with a 600-piece combo, each hit picturing its soft flesh.

Itadori, who had been fighting it, stepped back in confusion. “What?” Nah, cuz why did this blue and black critter start boxing his opp, “Uhm..” well, didn’t really matter to him; he might as well take the chance to kill the cursed spirit with its help.

“HIYAH!” He ended the Cursed spirit with a black flash— Is what I would’ve said if they both didn’t get interrupted by a large hole in space and reality opening above them.

Yuji backed up immediately, but Ben proceeded to pummel the spirit. But of course, his pummelling stopped when somebody fell through the wormhole “GYAHHHH!”, and fell right onto Ben.

“Talk about weird..” It was the second goat, Peter of Parker, the spiderest of men. “Hey, mind getting off of me?” Said Ben, Peter got him sniffing concrete the way he’s on him.

“Uhm.. sorry?” He got up and off of him, but his spidey senses flared up. The cursed spirit lunged at Peter, but he dodged, as always. His Olympic athlete ahh was not about to get hit by that purple nurple looking beast. “Whoa, calm down.. Thanos, you really went downhill after the war!” he shot a web at the beast's face, distracting him as he helped ben up.

The two proceeded to start jumping the cursed spirit, all whilst Itadori watched in the back, confused as to why some speedy creature, and a red and blue spider dude were fighting a cursed spirit? “Damn, I must be on something.”

Okay, well, he’s not really sure what's going on.. I mean, itadori was actually walking home after going to a mini market to buy some icecream, only for him to stumble into a cursed spirit in an alleyway.

Him being him, he decided that he could take on the critter and eliminate it. And, the fight was going really well, that was.. Until these two erm.. Humans? Guys? Appeared in front of him and started beating the living hell out of that beast.

He could join in, but well, they seem to be making light work of that purple monster “Hm, uh, well..” he glanced at his bag of icecream, which had tumbled over onto the ground during the chaos, and now the contents had spilled onto the ground “Damn it, 😞, that caused me like.. 12k yen” ( I have no idea how much icecream would cost in japan😊) He sighed in disappointment.

Inflation hitting hard, bro spent all his allowance on that 😭 💸

Oh well, it is what it is, no need to cry over spilled milk. Instead, he could take out his aggression on the spirit in front of him. Speaking of which.

—-Switching perspectives 😜

For Peter, this wasn’t as weird.. I mean, just like Ben, he’s also done dimensional and universal travel before, so this was actually kinda common, along with fighting alongside aliens.. Or whatever this blue and black thing next to him was.

IN the midst of the fight, Peter realised something. NONE of his punches or kicks were actually doing anything against that beast, “Huh, that’s a bit weird?” Maybe he’ll have to try something else.

He quickly pressed a button on his web shooter, which released a wire from it, aimed at the cursed spirit. But whilst aiming, the cursed spirit lashed out, its long body slamming into the ground and walls, which caught Peter off guard.

“Watch out!” he shouted as he jumped back, and because of the jump, his wrist moved slightly (0.2 millimetres) to the left, allowing the taser to (conveniently) hit ben instead “oh fuck- my bad-”

Ben let out a blood-curdling scream, at least 500 BILLION decibels loud— Nah, I’m just joking with you, that’d be wild if he was that loud. But still, he screamed in pain as his body spasmed out and fell to the ground.

He lay there on the ground, face scrunched up in a frown as he huffed, “Yeah, nice aim, bugboy.” Peter let out a faint chuckle, scratching the back of his neck as he hunched his back slightly, “M-my bad, I said watch out.. Aheh..” he mumbled to himself.

“Oi, step aside!” Itadori shoved Peter out of the way, ducking and weaving beneath the cursed spirits' attack to reach him “HIYAH!” He rammed his fist into the spirit's head, landing a black flash which finished it off, making its head explode and sending bits of its flesh flying everywhere.

Peter and Ben stood there, watching as the being turned into dust. Then Ben turned towards Peter, “So? You are?”, Peter placed one hand onto his hip, and raised his other into the air to give a thumbs up “Your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman And you—”

The glorious sound of the Omnitrix timing out interrupted him, which then, a flash of green light followed. Ben was back to being his normal self, “Ben Tennyson, saviour of the univ—, never mind,  just call me Ben.”

“You uh, did pretty well in that fight! Like, you’re a speedster, right? That’s actually pretty cool!” Peter paused for a second, “So like, you have the ability to turn into a superspeed superhero, or something?” It’d be a weird assumption, but then again, where he comes from, superpowers are starting to become more common than anything.

Ben smirked, doing a small shrug before responding, “Mhm, yeah, I guess, and you? Spiderpowers?”

“Yep, bitten by a radioactive spider and gained power.”

“Damn, inconvenient. But also REALLY COOL!”

And while these two were out here yapping, itadori is still standing in the alleyway, holding his now melted icream and mourning over it, but also confused about what the two were saying.

He can only understand 1 in every fifty words or something, “English speakers?” He tilted his head, glancing at Ben, then Peter, then Ben again. He had to ponder whether he should introduce himself to them or—.

“Ah, Hello.” Of course, he’s gonna introduce himself to them, why wouldn’t he? Now, if he’s honest, he doesn’t speak much English, only really knows the common words like ‘hi’ and ‘hey’, etc.

Ben and Peter stopped their chattering to stare at him, “Hi?” “Sup.” Itadori then proceeded to stare at them in return. I mean, he didn’t know what to say next. So, they just looked at eachother for the next 2 minutes.

“Ahem, so uhm.. Bye. ” Peter was tired of the staring contest, and decided to just.. Well, skedaddle. He pressed the button on his web shooter, quickly swinging away from the two.

Now, there were only Ben and Yuji left, “Anyway”, “🚶‍♂️‍➡️” Like some npc, Ben casually walks away from Yuji, fading into the darkness of the night as if he was in an edit or sumthin.

“Well, that was weird,” Yuji said to himself as he also casually walked away. Now, those two could’ve POSSIBLY, just MAYBE, PERHAPS, been trouble. But they’re not his trouble, so he’s outta there.

It was the next day, as usual, the students at jjk high were studenting, you know.. The usual, training and stuff. But, Itadori, whilst training with his master, Gojo, Itadori couldn’t help but be distracted.

Those two people from before.. Were they also sorcerers or cursed users? Gojo, who was actually just on his phone instead of training Yuji, noticed the way he was zoning out.. Just sitting there, nonchalantly staring into the distance.

“Erm, Yuji Wuji what’s wrong with you?” No response.. Hm, he’ll have to get geeked to make Yuji get locked out. “Dude, you okay? What’s got you so focused rn?” He bent down, waving his hand infront of yujis face to get his attention.

“Bro, yesterday, I saw these two people fighting a cursed spirit, which I was fighting.” He finally looked up and at Gojo. Gojo tilted his head, having that usual smile on his face. "Okay? So?" Yuji sat up and moved closer to him, "No, that's not it! They were like, not people at the same time! I actually have proof,” he pulled out his phone, and showed Gojo a short video of Spiderman and ben 10 hitting that cursed spirit with a 200 and fifty-nine piece combo.

Now, when did he take this video? Don’t ask me 🤷‍♀️, he just did.

At first, Gojo was literally not interested in the video for even a second, but after a few second of watching it.. He still wasn’t interested in it, not sure why he would be.

“Mhm, anyway, back to training, man, drop back down and give me two hundred pushups.” Gojo placed Yuji's phone down on a table and sat down on a nearby chair, going back to doing whatever he was doing before Yuji zoned out.

“What was even weirder was the fact that the blue dude turned human after that fight.” Now that, THAT, got Gojo's interest, finally. “Damn, rlly? And what exactly was that ‘blue dudes’ name?” he sat up, legs crossed and hands together, making him look exquisite.

Yuji shrugged “I don’t fucking know. They were speaking english. 😩” Well, bummer, is exactly what Gojo thought. Guess that’s that, no point in searching… Nahh, you alr know hes gonna go search for the ‘blue dude’, it’s his destiny to.

“Hm, Itadori Yuji,” Gojo said, his tone suddenly serious as he had that locked in look on his face. “stay here. I have some business to attend to.” Itadori raised an eyebrow.

“business?” Wth is he yapping about, 🤨 “Bro, you ain’t got no damn business to att-” and Gojo was gone, just like that. He sighed, once again, unc left him by himself.. “Damn big back.” Yuji then went onto his phone instead of training.

Walking around the busy streets, Ben’s stomach growled.. He’s a lil bit hungry rn, and kinda wants to chow down on something.. Some chilly cheese fries would go hard rn, but there’s ONE problem.

His ahh is Broke 🫠.

“Ugh..” he groaned, sitting down on a bench and staring up at the beautiful blue sky, listening as birds sang. “What’s a hero to do in these hard times?”

“Ho, so you’re the so-called transformer fella?” A voice said from behind him, which nearly made Ben jump up in surprise.. But he didn’t, because he’s an actual GOAT and built different ✊😤

As he turned around, the person behind him disappeared and appeared behind Ben “What??” He then turned around again, and finally, he got to see the man himself. The white and blue wonder, the rizzer upper himself, the honoured one..

Gojo Satoru. (this guy >👨‍🦳)

Ben and Gojo stared at each other for a second before one of them finally spoke. “Okay, so.. Hi?” Ben raised his hand up and waved, an awkward smile on his face as he waited for a response. “Sup!” Gojo replied, his hands tucked into his pants pocket as he smiled proudly.

Right now, Ben wasn’t really in the mood to talk to others or anything, he was in the mood to eat something, literally anything.. I mean, he hasn’t eaten since last morning, my man's out here starving, and some random guy tryna start a conversation. “So, you’re a foreigner? Tourist or something? Want me to show you around town? I know a good cafe nearby that sells some great Tiramisu!”

Look, he knows that stranger danger is a thing and all.. And that he fr should NOT, under any circumstances, be following some random adult anywhere, especially one as suspicious as this bad lad in front of him.. But deadass, that rule doesn’t apply to him.

Because you gotta understand… Ben isn’t the one in danger here.. this guy is (😾 when my eyes go red, run 😈). “You know what, sure. Why not” He got up and lightly stretched.

“Exactly, how far is this cafe?”

“Ehhh, it’s about an hour away… or more from here.”

—- – - - - -

Fifty plates of Tiramisu eaten.. Not by Ben of course, by Gojo. Ben was only at 2, he wasn’t really in the mood for dessert, he actually wanted to eat real food. “Uhmm, thanks for the food?” My boy Ben was still a bit puzzled, like.. Why’d this guy come up to him and ask if he wanted to go out and eat at a cafe.

“No problem, dude! Anyway~, I’m Gojo Satoru, actually wanted to offer you something!”

Ben stopped midway through digging into another plate of Tiramisu, “Mhm, offer?” he said, his mouth full of the sweet delight.

“You have cursed energy, righttt? I wanna see how strong you are, SO, let’s fight!”

“No.” He said nonchalantly, putting his spoon down onto the table. “Whattt, whyyy?” Gojo drawled out.

Benjamin Kirby Tennyson shrugged, “I mean, one, I don’t have any cursed energy. And two, I’m not just gonna randomly fight you!”

“C’monnn! Think of this as a way to repay me for buying you all this Tiramisu!”

“Uhhh…” He mulled his answer for a moment, “Nahhh, I actually have other things to do! You see, I’m not from—”

“Pweaseee 🥺👉👈”

“Dude—”

“Pwetty pwease wit a charwwy on top 😿”

“Damn, can’t say not to that🤷‍♂️,” He got up and walked to the exit, “Let’s just get this over with.” Gojo followed behind before suddenly stopping him, “Wait, I feel like things might get a bit destructive, so let’s go somewhere where there's nobody around!”

In an instant, they were in Nebraska, a place where there’s nobody around in fifty square miles. “Here’s perfect! Alright, I’ll let you get the first hit, so hurry up and transform!” He said in a sorta playful or cocky tone, arms crossed as he stood there smugly.

“It’s HERO time!” No hesitation, Ben Ten chose his alien and slammed his palm down onto the watch.. And then he turned into the coldest unit around, literally, Big Chill.

Gojo watched in— well, not in awe, more like interest or curiosity, but it was something. “Ooh, that’s kinda cool! Now come at me!”

“Huh? Nah, you're bugging. YOU come at me!”

“Uhm, no?”

“What do you mean no— Nevermind, fine.” Benjamin flew straight at Gojo like he was a freight train tryna run over a damsel in distress tied to the railroad tracks.

Gojo, with the swiftness of.. Of something, and the reflexes of an Olympic athlete, dodged with ease “Yawn, try harder.”

TRY HARDER!? 😡

“Tsk,” He stepped back a bit before taking a deep breath. Ben then exhaled, spraying a bunch of ice all over Gojo “Chill out, dude.”

“Nuh uh uh, I’m not really in the mood to be frozen” He broke out of the ice that was covering his legs. “C’mon, keep coming at me! Show me more of your powers!”

Nah.. wait, hold on. He didn’t know if this was rage bait.. But he knew one thing: whenever an enemy knows all his powers in a fight, Ben usually ends up cooked.

It’d be best if he just stuck to freeze breath and flying.. Then again, he highly doubts that Gojo has ANY counters to his intangibility.

“Alright then, but you asked for this!”

It was like a barrage.. Actually, it was. Continuous beams of ice dart right at Gojo, forcing him to constantly dodge as he plays defence. “Not bad, not bad. But how would you respond to this?”

“Huh, Nani—” Gojo was behind Ben, in no time.. Dude must have teleported or something. That’s not really new to Ben, just a bit surprising..

“Boo 😈” he stuck his hand out, simply about to place his hand onto bens shoulder. But Ben had them good instincts and auto reflexes, so immediately, before the purple wonder could touch Ben, he turned intangible.

And Gojo's hand fazed through his body “Uhm, what the actual fuck?” That actually caught Mr Nonchalant himself off guard, for a moment.. Only a moment, but it still counts.

Before Satoru could get another word out, he was backhanded by Big Chill, sending him flying a few feet back. “A– damn, you actually got me there!” Instead of wincing in pain, he was smiling like some madman or masochist.

Awh hell nawh, was this dude enjoying this? Why? Why does Ben always have to encounter freaks???

“I can tell that you’re no amateur!” Gojo pointed out.

“Thanks?” Ben arched an eyebrow.

“So, I’ve decided you’ll be joining my school!”

“I’m good. I’ve had enough of school, and I also don’t have time for it.” He slowly started descending to the ground as the Omnitrix timed out. “I’m not even from here, and I gotta get going home!”

“Plus, I’m sure my friends and family are worried like hell.”

His words made our boy Satoru pout, “Damn, that’s tough..” he then shot up with an excited smile, “Don’t care, didn’t ask, you’re coming with me!” he snatched up Ben and teleported right away.

—- Meanwhile, with the Man-Arachnid.

“Uhm.. it’s been a whole day, and I still have no way to get home?” Currently, he was swinging around the city, gaining the attention of the many Tokoyoites down below him.

“Although it’s kinda nice being able to swing around in peace without having to fight a villain every ten minutes..” he glanced at a building with a large screen that had some advertisement.

“And no J. Jonah. Jameson!” Now, if only he had some money.. Or a way to get food, but you already know, they don’t call him Peter Brokeboy for nothing. “Well, it is what it is 😌”

Peter swung himself towards a building to land on, only to face-plant right into another person who was conveniently on the building, directly in the spot he wanted to land in. “GAH–” he yelped.

“So sorry, totally didn’t see you there—” “So.. you’re the person that’s all over the news, Arachni-guy or something?” Said the man, speaking Japanese.

“Uhm..?” Parker slowly got up, using the wall near him as support whilst he did. “You’re not in danger or anything, so don’t run away.” Said the man once more.. Speaking of which, who even is this guy.

Well, we all know and love him, it’s Nanami! 🤭🤨
