Tonight, two of these worlds will clash, leaving two of it's greatest heroes to learn that friendship is ultimate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was a dark, quiet, and peaceful night in the small town of Bellwood. It was a rare sight, having all this peace, for this town is home to the alien superhero known as Ben "10" Tennyson, his energy being cousin Gwen Tennyson, and his matter absorbing best friend, Kevin Levin. The three have had many adventures together, and their newest (and also strangest) adventure was about to begin... Ben, Gwen, and Kevin were inside an old warehouse they found, testing a warp jumpgate they recently obtained. "Are you sure this is going to work?'', asked a curious Ben. "Sure I'm sure," answered an annoyed Kevin,"once I hotwire this Highbreed jumpgate, we can teleport anywhere we need to go, we wont need my ship ever again!" "But I thought you liked that ship.", stated a concerned Gwen,"Besides, I can just teleport us any where myself." "Ok look, it took me forever to find this thing, just let me have this!" Kevin then turned around and activated the jumpgate,"Here goes nothing." The jump gate had roared to life, and everything seemed to be going ok, but something went wrong, large strikes of lightning shot out from it and the ground around it started to rumble. "Hit the deck!" The jumpgate exploded, leaving nothing but smoke. "Well, there goes that plan...", coughed kevin as he tried to get all the smoke out of his face. "Wait," said Ben, "I think I see something!" Ben was right, in the smoke there were four silhouettes. When the smoke cleared they were revealed to be... horses? And also... a little dragon? They were very short and almost seemed cartoony. The first horse was a cyan blue, with two wings, a rainbow mane and tail, with two rainbow colored lightning strike tattoes at both of its flanks. The second also had wings, it was yellow, had a long light pink mane and tail, and also had tattoes at its flanks, except it was of three butterflies. The third had no wings, it was pink, and a dark pink frizzled mane with tail, and ballon tattoes at its flanks. The last appeared to be a short, wingless, purple dragon that stood on its bipedals. "Something? More like somepony!", the blue one stated. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin all had to rub their eyes to make sure they weren't seeing things before Kevin spoke up, "Uh, whoops, looks like I brought something through." The blue pony then responded to this, "You brought us here? Alright, it's go time!" The blue one then flew at amazing speed toward kevin before Gwen trapped the winged pony, along with the others, in an energy bubble with her powers. The yellow pony seemed to be having a panic attack, muttering things like "oh no" and "this can't be happining" while the pink one seemed to be having a blast. But the blue one was angry, and shattered the shield with its speed, freeing it, and its friends while yelling, "Alright, I've had enough! It's time for you three to give us some answers!" Ben smirked, he looked down on his left rist where layed: the Ultimatrix, a device that could change anyone into any alien in the galaxy. "Yeah?", he asked, "Well your watch must be slow, because mine says it's hero time!" Ben dialed his watch, looking for a form to turn into, when he found one he liked, he slamed his hand down on the image of the alien and turned into; "GOOP!", he looked down at himself and noticed he turned into a big, green blob with arms, legs, and a floating saucer on top, seemingly keeping the body togrther. "Wait, Goop? I wanted Big chill you stupid watch! Eh, guess I'll have to make this work." Ben changed Goops form to some type of blanket and wraped himself around the four to make sure they didn't get away. "Aaaah!", the yellow pony shouted, "Get it off! Get it off!" "Cooool!", the pink one stated, "It's like a giant blanket is hugging me, and also trying to kill me! Which is also sorta awesome..." Ben then turned his attention to the blue one, "Stop struggling! I'm Ben 10, I can help you aliens get back home!" "I don't know what a "Ben 10" is, but don't call me an alien, it's Rainbow Dash! Also, you're ticking me off." The pony now known as Rainbow Dash burst out of Goop while also freeing her friends. She then started flying around the room super fast. "Hmmm...", Ben thought, "She's fast (at least I think these ponies are shes) better go for a faster alien, like XLR8!" Ben transformed again, but instead of XLR8, the Ultimatrix turned him into a big (very big) dinosaur-like creature, "HUMUNGOUSAUR! *sigh*, it's going to be one of those nights, isn't it?" Rainbow Dash swooped in to swat at Ben but he reached out and was able to stop her with his massive strength, "Alright little pony, you've got five seconds to reconsider what you're about to do!" Rainbow turned and responded, "What? Are ya scared of me?" Ben answered, "Have it your way." Ben then threw Dash on the ground and precedded to stomp on her but was stopped by a pink energy shield. "Are you trying to kill her?", yelled Gwen. Dash took this oppertunity to fly out from under Ben and went back to buzzing around his head, landing in a few hits every now and then. Gwen turned to Kevin and asked, "Could you watch those three? I need to make sure these two don't kill each other." Kevin sighed and grumbled, "I always get stuck with the grunt work..." Kevin ran over to the three but before he could say a word, he was cut off by the pink pony, who ranted, "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! That shy little pony over there is Fluttershy! See that little dragon? That's Spike! Your friend is wierd, how does he turn into those things? Is he from the everfree forest? There's alot of wierd monsters there, but not as wierd as your friend! He's pretty since he can keep up with Rainbow Dash! Are you guys hairless monkeys? I mean, I know you have hair on your head, but you know what I mean! Hey, did you-". Pinkie was then cut off by Kevin who exclaimed, " How about you sit down and shut up before I pound you into next week!" Pinkie happily complied while saying, "Okie, dokie, lokie!" Kevin turned to the one called Fluttershy and asked, "You're not gonna give me any trouble, are you?" She whimmpered and replied, "Oh,no,no,no... I would never... not to you..." Kevin turned to the dragon called spike and questioned, "What about you shorty?" Spike replied, "You'll get nothing from me Mister!" Rainbow Dash and Ben continued their fight. Dash realized just how small this warehouse was, so she didn't have much room to fly, which means she might lose this fight, "How about we take this dance outside?" Dash busted out one of the windows in the warehouse to get outside. Before chasing after her, Ben turned to Gwen and said, "Gwen, I need to go after her, is it cool if you stay here with Kevin to make sure those other three don't get away?" "Actually, I already asked Kevin to-" "Thanks, I'll be back in a bit." Ben smashed his way out of the warehouse, leaving a giant Humungousaur shaped hole in the wall, and also a facepalming Gwen. The two heroes were now facing each other in the streets. Both seemed ready to kill the other. "Alright monster thing, you got on my badside, so I'm taking you down!", exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "You're insane, which is why you could use some electro shock therapy, and I'd be happy to oblige!", a green light then enveloped Ben, blinding Rainbow Dash, when the light dimmed, Dash was a bit surprised. She's seen many different monsters from the everfree forest, but none of them have been able to change forms instantly like this one, the thing in front of her not went from being a dinosaur to a yeti! The only other creature that she knew could something like this was Discord. But this guy is too sane to be him. "SHOCKSQUATCH!" "Shocksquatch?" "Who were you expecting? Pikachu?." Ben started to charge electricity all over his body, and then let out a huge lightning strike directly at Dash. She was just able to get out of the way in time, having the strike just missing her. She let out a sigh of relief but stopped when she noticed Ben was charging up for another blast, "Oh no you don't!" She started flyimg rapidly around Ben over and over again until a rainbow coloered tornado started to form. Ben let out another electric blast but the tornado deflected it and shoot it right back at him. The twister vanished, leaving a pain stricken Ben laying on the ground. "Am I being to hard on ya? Ready to give up?", asked an overconfident Rainbow Dash. Ben shook his head a little to try and get rid of the pain before answering, "Nope, you're mostly working up my appetite!" Another green flash enveloped Ben, and now transformed into a short, chubby, green alien named; "UPCHUCK! Ok, I was sorta leaning towards Eatle, but Upchuck is good, still works with my pun..." "You should be less worried about puns and more worried about the pounding I'm about to give you!" Ben had to think fast, he turned over to a nearby car and grined. He extended Upchuck's massive tongue and wrapped it around the car's door. He ripped the door right off and swallowed it whole, "Hope they had car insurence..." Dash was once again awestruck, but not from amazment, more from disgust, "Wow... good thing Rarity isn't here, she would've fainted right on the spot..." Ben looked down at his stomach, it started to glow green, meaning it was time to fire! Ben shot out multiple balls of acid at Dash, who was dodging each one with ease, but was still surprised, "Is that acid? Are you nuts!? You could hurt somepony!" "That's sorta the point." Dash flew as fast as she could, ramming straight into Ben's stomach, "Ow... never realized how sensitive Upchuck's stomach was... then again, his name is Upchuck..." Ben was bent over clenching his stomach out of pain. "Ready to give up now?", asked Dash once again. Ben answered with, "Hold on... I don't... feel very good... I think... I'm gonna hurl..." Ben's eyes widened, he stood back up and let out one of the biggest acid attack he has ever done. The giant ball of acid slammed right into Rainbow Dash, who was sent flying to the ground. Ben mannaged to recover from his stomach ache, "Ugh... I think that was hard on both of us... well, I guess that'll teach you to randomly attack one of my friends!" When Ben said that, Dash then realized something, she left Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Spike back on that warehouse! She shook off the pain, flew back up and said, "Time out! I need to go check on my friends!" Dash then bolted off as fast as she could back towards the warehouse. "Hey! Get back here! I'm not done with you yet!" Gwen and Kevin were starting to get very bored. They were stuck with babysitting three odd (very odd) aliens. One talked to much, another didn't talk enough, and the last seemed to act like a little kid (they later assumed him to be one, based on his height). Then Gwen noticed something, she looked up and seen that Rainbow Dash had flown back, "Ok. you two better let go of my friends befor I-" She was cut off when a ball of acid had hit her (again) and was sent flying to the floor (again). Gwen turned back around and saw Ben walking in threw the huge hole he left in the wall, "Time in. Hasen't your Mother ever told it's rude to walk out of a beating before you can get beat up?" The two charged at each other, ready to deliver the biggest beating they've both ever given, but suddenly, "Hey! Would you two knock it off already?!" Gwen looked over and saw Spike standing almost directly inbetween them, capturing both of their attention. She looked over at Kevin who had a look on his face saying, 'I couldn't stop him'. She turned back to Spike to see what he had to say, "Why are two even fighting in the first place?!" Gwen precedded to put a shield in between them so they wouldn't get any ideas. "They started it!", they both answered in unison. "Yeah? Well I'm ending it!", yelled Gwen, "Ben, turn back to normal, and uh..." "Rainbow Dash.", Dash reminded Gwen. "Right, come back on the ground and we can talk about this." Next time: Aliens, ponies, and dragons oh my!
