“Jason.”
“Go away...”
“Jason!”
“Go way...”
“Jason! Ah’m ah be late!”
“Ok... ok... I’m up.” Jason said as he opened his eyes, spotting Apple Bloom looking at him with a frown. “Go get ready... I’ll be down...” he said, yawning. He sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
She nodded with a bright smile before rushing out of the room, her early morning energy making him a bit jealous. He quickly got up, knowing that if he stayed in bed much longer, he’d end up falling back asleep. Pulling his jeans on, he made his way to the bathroom, gazing into the mirror.
Looking back at him was a hazel-eyed young man with frizzy, curly hair that fell to his mid-back. He ran a hand through his moderate facial hair, frowning at the black lines under his eyes.
“I really need to fix my sleep cycle.” he mumbled to himself, running his fingers under the water, trying to tame his unkempt hair. It didn’t take long for him to give up with a huff. “Stupid hair...” he mumbled to himself.
He splashed some water on his face before hurrying downstairs. As he entered the kitchen, he was greeted with the glorious scent of pancakes.
“Good morning...” he said, yawning again. “God those smell good.”
“Mornin’ Jason. We were all worried ya’ll would miss Apple Bloom’s class.” AJ said, not looking away from the stove.
“I promised I’d go... no matter how tired I am, I plan to be there,” he said as he sat down and cracked his neck. He smiled wide, licking his lips as AJ placed a plate of steaming hot pancakes in front of him. He grabbed a fork, starting to dig in.
“Mighty big appetite ya got sonny,” Granny Smith commented, watching him devour his pancakes with gusto.
“Damn... right...” he said between bites, gulping down the glass of orange juice that was passed over to him. “Those... were the best pancakes I’ve ever had,” he said, grinning and licking his lips.
“Why thank ya Jason,” AJ said, nodding her head, beaming at the praise.
“Ya’ll ready Jason! Ah’ma be late!” Apple Bloom called, getting impatient.
“Yeah I’m coming,” he said, getting up and cracking his back. “See ya guys later,” he said to AJ and Granny Smith. “Ok Apple Bloom, lets get going.”
“Finally,” the little filly said, rolling her eyes. She started to trot down the path, followed closely by Jason.
“Where is your school anyway?” Jason asked, taking a deep breath of the pure country air.
“On the other side’a town.”
“Seriously!? That’ll take half an hour!”
“Ah tried to get ya up sooner, now Ah’m gonna be late.” she said, looking down with a sigh.
“Oh no you won't,” Jason said, a big grin on his face. He activated the Omnitrix, moving through the silhouettes until he found the correct one. “Here we go!” he shouted, bringing his palm down on it.
“XLR8!” he shouted, now in the form of a vaguely raptor shaped creature. “Come on,” he said, his voice raspy, scooping her up in his arms before blazing down the path and into town, leaving a dust trail in his wake.
Jason grinned under his faceplate, zipping past ponies, taking pleasure at the shocked looks on their faces. The sound of a school bell caught his attention and he steered himself toward it. He skidded to a halt, placing Apple Bloom on the ground.
“Tada!” he said, touching the Omnitrix and returning to his human form. “Um... Apple Bloom, you ok?” he asked, noticing she was wide eyed and trembling.
“T-that... was... amazing!” she shouted, loudly enough to make him flinch.
“God you're loud...” he mumbled to himself, following her inside. Looking around, he noted that the school house was just a single room, much like the old Amish school houses he had seen before. He took a spot in the back of the class, ignoring the looks and whispers he got.

“Thank you Mr. Rich for that lovely... presentation,” said the teacher, a mulberry-colored earth pony mare, while looking at a rather stuffy looking stallion.
“You’re quite welcome Miss Cheerilee,” he said as he moved across the room to take a place in the back.
“So,” a snobby sounding pink filly started, looking at Apple Bloom. “Who did you get to come this year? Your kooky old grandma?”
“No,” Apple Bloom said, glaring at the filly. “Ah brought my... uh... cousin, Jason!” she said, nodding vigorously.
“Apple Bloom, you're up next,” Miss Cheerilee called, grabbing the filly’s attention.
“Come on, Jason,” she called, getting up out of her seat to stand in front of the class. He followed after her and stood next to her, arms crossed over his chest.
“Everypony, this is mah cousin Jason,” she said, introducing him.
“Hello everyone,” he said with a smile, waving a bit. “Yes?” he asked, spotting a bluish-green unicorn colt holding up a hoof.
“Um....what are you?” The young colt inquired, his classmates nodding in agreement.
“I am a human, though our scientific name is Homo sapiens,” he replied, leaning back on the chalkboard.
“You look like a hairless monkey,” a grey filly said with a snicker, the pink one from before laughing with her.
Jason glared a bit, resisting the urge to argue. “That is true,” he admitted. “We humans did evolve from primates. Yes?” he asked, this time the pink filly had raised her hoof.
“So do you eat bananas?” she asked, a grin on her face.
He clenched his fists, taking in a breath. “Yes, humans can eat bananas.” Before they could ask another question, he quickly changed the subject. “Now, I don’t exactly have a speech or anything planned, and I’d rather not bore you so, how about I just show you this.” he said, holding his arm up, displaying the Omnitrix. “This is the Omnitrix. It allows me to change into other creatures. Like so.” He popped up the dial, clicking through it before pushing it back down.
“Star Ocean!” he shouted, smirking at all the gasps and hanging jaws. “As you can see, I am now an alicorn.” Jason’s alicorn form stood as tall as Twilight, his coat a deep green while his mane and tail were black with green streaks.
“What else can you turn into?” a white unicorn asked, waving her hoof in the air.
“Yeah, can you be a minotaur?” another asked.
“No, do a griffon!”
“Woah now, calm down.” he said, putting his hooves up. “I don’t have either of those yet.” he said, smiling. “But lets see what else I got.” he said touching the Omnitrix again, reverting to human form. He transformed again, this time now a bipedal, very angry looking tiger.
“Rath? Let me tell you something Omnitrix!” he shouted, pointing at the Omnitrix, located on his chest. “Rath didn’t ask for Rath, Rath wanted Lodestar!”
“Um... Jason...” Apple Bloom said, poking his leg, a frown on her face.
“Not now Apple Bloom, Rath is laying the smack down!” Jason said before going back to berating the Omnitrix for the mistransformation.
“Is he really yelling at an inanimate object? How bright is he?” the pink filly asked with a snicker.
“Lemme tell ya somethin’, tiara wearing pink filly!” Jason shouted, getting up in her face, pointing a finger at her. “Rath does not like you calling Rath dumb!”
“W-what are you gonna do about it?” she asked, gulping.
“Now see here,” Filthy Rich said, not about to let his daughter be attacked.
“You're her father right?” Jason asked, turning to him and narrowing his eyes.
“Yes I am, and I...”
“Lemme tell ya somethin’, father of that disrespectful filly!” Jason shouted, poking the stallion’s chest with a beefy finger. “Rath thinks you need to teach your daughter some manners! Like Apple Bloom! She has great manners!”
“Jason... please...” Apple Bloom said, tugging on his other hand.
“Ok, ok.” he said, frowning. “You best learn some manners!” he instructed the filly before returning to normal. Once back in human form, he noted the class, adults and foals, were all staring at him. “Yeah... sorry about that... Rath isn’t very smart and he tends to yell a lot...” he explained, rubbing the back of his head.
“That was so cool!” an orange-colored pegasus filly shouted, hoof pumping. A few others joined in, mumbling their praise.
“Well thanks,” he said blushing a bit, smiling cheekily.
“Yes... that was quite interesting,” Miss Cheerilee said, clearing her throat. “I believe it’s time for recess,” she said, and as if on cue, the lunch bell rang. All the foals rushed outside, the white unicorn and orange pegasus quickly joining Apple Bloom.
“Ahem,” Filthy Rich said, clearing his throat.
“So yeah... sorry about the yelling...” Jason said with a sheepish laugh, looking anywhere except the stallion.
“I’m willing to look past it Mr. Jason,” Rich said, fixing his tie. “Now, this Omnitrix, how much would it take for you to relinquish it?”
“You want to buy the Omnitrix from me?” Jason asked, raising his eyebrow.
“Yes and I will pay handsomely for it.”
“Why do you even want it for?” Jason asked, sitting on one of the desks.
“My daughter of course. With it, she can truly be the princess she was meant to be.” Rich said, a smile on his muzzle.
“Sorry to break this to ya but I’m not selling it. Besides, it doesn’t come off,” Jason said, demonstrating by tugging on it. “See? Don’t come off.”
“Hmph. I respect your decision but I think you should take my offer, it’s not everyday one such as yourself gets an offer like this.”
“Did you just insult me?” Jason asked, standing and glaring down at the stallion.
“Of course not, I merely meant that you are alone here, it would be a good idea for you to make some connections,” Rich said, looking him in the eye.
“We’re done here,” Jason said in disgust before walking off. “I’ll see ya back at the farm, Apple Bloom,” he called, barely registering her response as he headed for the library.
***
The still atmosphere of the afternoon air that permeated the royal gardens was broken as a grinding, crackling sound echoed in the empty gardens. Three of the statues that made up the garden’s collection started to shake. The first one shattered, releasing the being that had been trapped.
“Ah, it feels so good to be free,” he said, taking a deep breath. He cracked his neck and a grin spread across his face. “Come Xemnas, the spell is weakened.”
The second statue shattered, releasing the being known as Xemnas back into the world.
“Of course brother, it is very good to be free,” he agreed, stretching his body out. “What of the Arishok?” he asked, turning to the third statue, which was still cracking.
“Leave him, he will distract those pathetic ponies while we make our escape,” Ansem said, as he held his hand out to create a portal of darkness. “Let’s take our leave, brother,” he said, stepping through it, followed quickly by his brother, the portal closing behind them.
The final statue shattered not long after, allowing the Arishok to go free. He stood up to his full height, surveying the area.
“Finally, the curse is broken. I shall bring order back to this world,” he vowed to himself, hefting his sword over his shoulder as he started to move out of the garden.

Ansem? Xemnas? What are THEY doing here? This isn't Kingdom Hearts! Though it would seem that this is a Kingdom Hearts crossover now........
4903551 They are cosplayers that went LOHAV. There will be other villains later as well.
Ansem? Say WHAAAAAT now? That be a Kingdom Hearts name ye be usin'!
Thank you author for giving me even more reason to hate Diamond Tiara and her father.
I feel sick after reading their lines. And I'm not even a fan of Ben Ten! 
Also, this is a good story! 
4903559
....may I just say that I feel like a freaking idiot right now? Because I feel like a freaking idiot right now....
Wow. So he's going to be battling other cosplayers? This is unexpected, though not the first universe I've seen more than one in.
I don't know that last one though.
Loving this story. Just 2 things though:
When Jason is a pony, does he have a cutie mark? I was expecting it to be an Omnitrix symbol generally, maybe even a unique variation for each of his Pony forms.
Also, did he just become a Male Alicorn? I would expect there to be more of a stir about that if the word gets around. The general consensus appears to be that such a thing is rare verging on impossible, & if one ever did appear he'd be Equestria's first ever Alicorn Prince.
Crackfic. This is a crackfic.
Do go on.
Ansem, Arishok? What are you talking about?
First of all, Star Ocean? Really? You'll need a much better name than that... Also, the Omnitrix isn't broken, so you would've gotten Lodestar....
4904182 Yes he did become a male alicorn, but no, I have no idea what his cutie mark would be
I feel like DT and her dad are a bit flat. Their characters wouldn't act like that, in my mind. Bit this is yoir story, so do what you will.
Either way...
Badabababaaaa, I'm lovin' it!
4904210 It isn't broken, but hitting the omnitrix with enough force will cause a mistransformation
4904481
That's the new one, which has a lot of design flaws and is kind of tacky, not the old one...
Not sure what the 'Qun' are.
Slightly disagree on your characterization of Filthy Rich though. From what I observed, he's a very outstanding and good hearted pony.... but by the looks of the shadows under his eyes, I can guess how Diamond became how she is. Diamond is likely more 'good' around her dad... and as such, her dad is blinded to how bad she is since his work keeps him from spending time with her. He spends so much time trying to give all her physical needs and desires that he doesn't realize he's neglected her emotional needs and raising her. Know what I mean?
Though, since he DOES live in rich circles, it likely wouldn't take long for word about the Omnitrix to get around to more despicable individuals, eh?
In truth, while I'm thinkin' on it, I'm quite surprised that Filthy didn't reprimand Diamond himself, considering how much he reprimanded her actions in previous episodes.
4904658 That's actually a good point
4904442
I suppose the fact that the control dial of the Omnitrix is always visible in any form he takes serves much the same function as a cutie mark.
I wonder if the CMC will see it that way though?
So we have Arishok,

Mansex,

and Ansem/Xeanort's heart.
drkitachi.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ansem21.jpg
Interesting.
4905181 And there are still five more of them.
“God you're loud...”
(This has nothing to do with the story other than it was in the story.) I do not understand this sentence. Is Jason directly telling God that he's loud? I am confuzzled.
4905310 I think we missed a coma.
Why are there Kingdom Hearts villains in my Ben 10 story?
What? No fast track?
4911093 XLR8 for life!!
4911130 true dat. Xlr8 is way better anyways... Clockwork! Are you going to ever use him?
4915396 I'll try to use every alien at least once
4915415 swag. Oh god... I wonder when you'll use way big and nanomech. Ooh! Or jury rig! Actually, when would you use him? Echo echo and ditto seem pretty easy... SO MANY FRICKEN ALIENS!
Adding to my last comment...
SO AWESOME!!! 
I've been waiting for something like this! Xemnas fighting Chromastone, maybe? Seems ledgit since Xemnas attacks with lazers. 
Did he just add Ansem AND Xemnas to the end of it?!
4903559
What is LoHAV?
Translation: "Jason! I'm I be late!"
Wait do i detect a second crossover. Maybe they could be nobodies after all.
4943903 League of Humans Acting Villainous.
... Sorry but I am pretty sure as a stallion he should be bigger than Twilight in her alicorn form, seeing that colts are generally either a few inches or much bigger than mares, just compare with Shining Armor, the royal guards, Breaburn, and Big Macintosh.
If Twilight grew taller as a female alicorn, even if just 2 or so inches, then he should be bigger as a male alicorn as well, compared to all standard sized stallions in Ponyville, for example Thunderlane or Time Turner (aka Doctor Whooves).
That makes him bigger than Twilight without a doubt.
mlp:fim, KH2 and Ben 10? awesome crossover thus far indeed
Haven't read the rest of the story yet, but I'll be severely disappointed if Rainbow doesn't hear about XLR8 and challenges Jason to a race.
5179018 Too cliche
5567288 That hasn't stopped the author yet.
*“As you can see, I am now an alicorn.”* It should be a female alicorn cause rule of funny and alicorns only being female in canon.
Also, the problem with using Ben Ten after the first series is that he is too damn powerful.
Jigallag has awackened, he shall bring order to the world, and none of the other daedric princes can stop him!!
Goodness, introducing arbitrary and unrelated villains already? I just don't understand what all the fuss is about. After all, it's nobody important.
5752228 I once read a fanfic where Megatron scanned Nightmare Moon, but he became a female Alicorn
6143998 Yes! another worshipper of the glory that is Nightveil Specter, trolliest of Magic Cards!
Oh crap, we've got villains on the loose!
Huh, I wonder who are these stoners. Well, former stoners.
Final Fantasy?...great...
7343015
Actually, with Ansem and Xemnas, I'd say this has more of a Kingdom Hearts element tossed in here.
BUENO...
Okay, first off, since you've clearly set this after the episode where Granny came to the school, Diamond Tiara should KNOW not to insult Granny, especially with her father IN THE ROOM!
Then there's how diamond reacted to the main character, again, WITH HER FATHER IN THE ROOM!
Finally, there's Filthy. HOW could you mess him up so bad? Even before we got to see more of Pony Rich's truly good natured personality we have lately, we already know from around that episode's timing that Filthy is a reasonable pony, since he punished Diamond after she insulted Granny Smith right in front of the class. So, the fact you've written him so blatantly as a dick is not very well approved.
For one, you have him not once reprimand her during her insulting of the main character in front of the class. I totally understand him speaking up to defend diamond when Wrath started on Diamond, but he never once spoke up when Diamond was insulting him without good reason.
And then, he outright says he wants to give the daughter who willingly was insulting everyone with him IN THE ROOM the power of a Princess! Then he outright tells the main character how he SHOULD sell the one thing that will likely help him out throughout his time in Equestria, just to spoil the daughter he CLEARLY HEARD BEING A TOTAL SELF CENTRED ASS TO EVERYONE IN THE CLASS!
