Aliens and Fairies are real?!

"Are you done yet?"

"No"

"Are you done yet?"

"Dyna, for the last time creating something like this takes time and patience" Ben or rather Grey Matter told her with a small sigh as the two were sitting next to each other on top Ben's makeshift workstation next to a bunch of tools obviously meant for a human

"What is it that you're making anyways?" The red and blue haired pixie said sounding bored as she just lays down on the hard metallic surface

"Essentially a prototype version of my omnitrix" Grey said as he slowly inserted the core into the watch like device which was modeled after the original prototype

The device stayed silent for a long while as he held out his breath but then suddenly "BE-WEEEP!" The device let out a sound as it lit up with the core a soft bright blue as Grey just stood there frozen before the realization dawns on him…..he did it...he had made an omnitrix....a successful one...by himself

"I did it..…hell yeah!" He yelled happily as be jumped back reverting back to human the moment the moment his feet left the metallic workstation

"OH, Azmuth you'd be so proud of me" Ben said his voice suddenly gaining a sad tone before he just let out a small sigh before grabbing the newly built device and stuffing it into his hoodie pocket

"Wait….we're leaving?!" Dyna said as she quickly flew up to him only for her to immediately gain a disappointed look on her face as Ben spoke

"No I'M leaving, you're going to have to return to pixie village since I'll be heading down to earth with my adoptive little sister" Ben clarifies only for Dyna to fly right up to his face crossing her arms

"Nope I'm coming with you and that's final!" She says looking away while letting out a loud 'HMPH!" sound only for her to hear the sound of an omnitrix activating followed by the transformation noise, with her turning to look to see XLR8 holding the newly built device in one of his hands

"No time to talk, I'll make it up to you!" He says with a big smirk on his face and before Dyna can do anything she sees Ben drop down his visor and disappears leaving behind a black and green blur

"What the?!" She says before she flies after and unfortunately even with the hedgehog DNA she got from him, she's still nowhere near fast enough to catch up

And as soon as she makes it to the front door, it flies open sending the pixie flying against the wall letting out a quick 'SPLAT' sound

"Ben? Ben, where are you?" Bloom could be heard asking loudly as she and the rest of the winx plus Ship walk into the dorm only for them to turn at the sound of a groan

"You….just….missed….him" Dyna says as she falls to the ground only to be caught by….well more like fell on Kiko who let quick scream as he jumped up launching Dyna into the air who then proceeded to fell right into Bloom's arms

"What do you mean we jus-" Flora stops mid-sentence as she feels a quick tap on her shoulder before a hand reaches around her and places something in her hands….Ben's Ultimatrix?

"Be back in the afternoon, me and Sapphire are going down to earth for a quick trip to my hometown" A voice that sounds like XLR8 says and with the girls just barely managing to turn around in time to see two kinecelerans run away….which is something that to them, shouldn't be possible as Flora is currently holding the ultimatrix

"Was that….Ben and Sapphire?" Musa asks before her attention is drawn to Dyna who just lets out a loud groan while rolling her eyes

"Yeah, he finally finished that device he was working on and ditched me to go see his sister" Dyna says disappointed as she crosses her arms and pouts

"Well, then let's go after him" Stella says only for Musa to roll her eyes

"Sure, let's go after someone that's way faster than sound and possibly light, I'm suuuure we'll catch up" Musa says sarcastically only to be stopped by Flora holding up the Ultimatrix

"Well, I do have his Ultimatrix" Flora said as the Ultimatrix is taken from her by Tecna

"How's that going to help us, he's probably off planet by now" Tecna said sounding somewhat upset and only then does Dyna speak up

"Why do you even want him so bad?" Dyna said only to then rapidly look at Flora and then at Tecna switching back and forth before she suddenly gets a sly smirk "You, like Ben don't you~" she says in a sing song voice as making the two fairies freeze for a second

"W-was it that obvious?" Flora asks while Tecna rubs the back of her head as she's more confused on her feelings then Tecna as they seemed to have come out of nowhere after the incident in black mud swamp many days ago

"Well, he did mention something about his hometown so maybe we could start our search there" Bloom suggests as the rest make nods, but only then do they realize....they have no idea what Ben's hometown is since he never talked about it

"So…..Kevin and Hope it is?" Stella says as the others just nod before they all head out the door with their next stop being Red Fountain

Meanwhile with Ben and Sapphire the two have just barely gotten to Bellwood as Ben who was currently Jetray touches down in a secluded corner of Bellwood city park before he reverts back to human

"Finally, we're here and we only got lost 5 times…..well Sapphire welcome to Bell-" Ben's forced to stop mid-sentence as a small boom occurs right next to him as Sapphire who had been flying slower than him as Jetray, crashed right next to him. With him peering into the crater as the female aerophibian can be seen in the middle of the crater

"So.....what did we learn?" Ben asked with an innocent smile as he sat at the edge of the crater kicking his feet casually

"That I should've slowed down as soon as I passed the stratosphere" She groans as a brief flash of light blue, light fills the area as she reverts back to normal

"Troposphere actually, you should've slowed down once you entered it" Ben corrected as he pushed himself off the edge sliding down the crater until he reaches her, "But not bad for using Jetray for the first time" He compliments extending his arm down to help her up which she takes as she pulls herself back up

"Thanks….by the way….why did we even come to your hometown?" Sapphire questions while the two crawl out of the crater before making their way to a path going out of the park

"Oh simple, I wanted a smoothie" He says casually as he turns to her and gives her a casual smile while she just gives him a look that says, 'is that all?'

"Plus...I didn't want to be reprimanded by Faragonda if we accidentally blew something up while testing out your ultimates" Ben admits as he rubs the back of his head not noticing Ben's eyes suddenly light up

"This thing comes with ultimates?!" She says almost immediately reaching down for her omnitrix making the core pop up, with Whampire's silhouette popping up just as they make it to the sidewalk having exited the park

"Yep, but I'd recommend holding off on turning into Humungousaur or any other alien for now….because now" He begins as they reach a Mr. Smoothy that wasn't there in his original universe "It's smoothie…..time" Ben says as the two walk into the store and find…..absolutely no one

"Uhhh…..Ben, is it normally like this?" Sapphire asked as Ben took a couple of steps more before putting a hand up to his neck with Wildmutt's gill-like glands appear on his neck

"I…don't know, it looks deserted" Ben says as he took a quick sniff which immediately makes him freeze before he suddenly takes a running start vaulting over the counter as his right arm gets mixed with cybertronian DNA with him taking out his ion blaster kicking the door in, with him pointing his ion blaster at….himself?!

"Ok…..I've seen weirder" Ben said as he eyed his other self who was just staring at him in shock before Ben then reverted his right arm back to normal "Let me guess, omniversal nonsense" Ben said casually since at this point this didn't surprise him, as he's friends with a blue hedgehog, two tailed fox, an echidna, and a green tenrec with electrical who he has a love-hate relationship with…..especially after sh-

His train of thought was interrupted by Sapphire vaulting or more or less tripping and falling over the counter "What's going on?!" Sapphire asks worried as she gets up her hand already on her omnitrix, only to be shocked by seeing what appears to be another Ben, two galvans, and some random four armed alien

"Omniversal travel stuff Sapphire, you get used to it" Ben said casually as he crossed his arms, "So…..it's odd meeting another Ben Tennyson that's not my future self, so what's your story?" Ben asked finally addressing his counterpart

"Well, we we're looking for the 23rd Mr. Smoothy when that happened" Ben Prime said pointed to the busted up machine beside him

"You know I can't believe it two, Ben's!" one of the galvans said while Ben kneeled down to inspect the device only for it to let out some smoke and a harsh noise before Ben who was actively trying to draw out Alien X's DNA so he could instantly fix the machine and be done with it, so he and Sapphire could go get their smoothies, felt the dimensions around them change and before he knew it he no was no longer able to draw out Alien X's DNA

"What the fuck?" He mumbles to himself as he looks down at his omnitrix and scrolls through it, with him realizing he can't find Alien X

"May I suggest figuring out where we are, and preferably a place where we're the only smoothie shop" The four armed alien says as the Sapphire just stares at him oddly

"I think we have much bigger problems to worry about" Sapphire stated poking her head out of the backroom they were all in as they then felt the building shake as an explosion rocked the building

"Shit, just our luck" Ben stated as he, Prime, and Sapphire all rush to the door with Ben having already pressed and slammed on his omnitrix turning into Rath but the moment he got out his claws, he freezes making the two slam into his back

"Woah, what was that for?!" Prime asked as he and Sapphire looked up at the frozen Apoplexian who then reverted back to human before breathlessly saying

"Tetrax?"

"Woah, watch where you're going!" Kevin could be heard yelling at another driver as he was forced to swerve as the winx could be seen all cramped into the back of his car like a can of sardines with the two shortest Winx, Bloom and Musa being forced to sit on the other's laps. They were on earth, since the Winx had no other way of knowing where Bellwood was without Kevin and Charmcaster, with Kevin agreeing to take them in his car.

"We're all going to die, aren't we?" Dyna could be heard saying as she was forced to sit on the dashboard clinging to it for dear life

"We should've just teleported!" Stella yelled from as the car swerved once more as she began to take off her ring, but Kevin quickly shut that down

"Don't even think about it, no magic in my car" Kevin said not wanting something to happen to his car before stepping on the gas, all the while Hope was just flipping through a grimoire she had borrowed from her uncle Hex, not one bit bothered about the chaos happening around her

"You know, the roads to Bellwood are a lot more chaotic than I remembered" Hope said casually as she flipped the page

Meanwhile the winx all just look at each other as they all mentally agree that next time, they're just flying or teleporting the next time they need to go somewhere, because there's no way they're getting in Kevin's car again

"Duh! That's kinda obvious dude" Ben Prime says pushing Ben to the side leaving Ben standing there as the world seems to start changing for him

"Ben…..Ben" A pained voice that sounds oddly like Tetrax says before he suddenly gets shaken as the world suddenly returns to normal as that someone calling his name suddenly becomes familiar

"Ben!" Sapphire's yelling suddenly snaps Ben out of it as he blinks confused not noticing that Tetrax had begun to fight another version of himself, one who looked to be around Sapphire's age maybe a bit older

"Huh?!" He says turning to the young girl who was already reeling her hand back ready to slap him, though she stops once she sees that he's more or less back to normal

"I'm fine, I'm fine just..." He begins before taking a sigh and then continuing "It's just odd seeing someone you saw die, with your very eyes live again" He admits quietly as he watches the fight end, his blue colored counterpart act like a brat before sighing once more…..and just when he thought that today would be simple

"A little sucker bait, who is Alien 24" 23 as Ben had decided to call him said as they were now standing in front of a building displaying Feedback's silhouette

In all honesty, Ben had more or less turned his brain off and went on autopilot after 23's fight with his universe's Tetrax, as he was mostly just waiting until the omnitrix decided to give him back access to Alien X, so he and Sapphire could go back home

Meanwhile Sapphire was just worried for Ben as despite him being damn near invincible, he was pretty weak mentally when it came from things from his past, especially with his PTSD and the sheer amount of death he's both caused and seen

And just when all seemed well, a voice Ben didn't want to ever hear again suddenly speaks up "Ben, call me when you get this" Max Tennyson's voice comes out from Prime's omnitrix and for a second, Sapphire thought she was about to witness a murder as Ben turned so fast towards Prime that he nearly suffered whiplash

"Woah was that Grandpa Max?" 23 says only for him to freeze seeing the sheer amount of hatred coming from his eyes

"Ben...Let me tell you this, Max's voice ever comes from that omnitrix again, I'm destroying the core and tossing the device into the sun" Ben says to Prime with pure hatred in his tone of voice so much so that it makes Sapphire and 23 take a step back

"Dude relax, what's your grudge against grandpa" Prime says as Ben suddenly grabs him by the collar of his shirt and forces him to look up as while they're the same person from different universes, Ben is way taller than Prime being 5'11 compared to Prime's 5'7

"I'm going to assume we have the same partner, The reason I hate Max with a passion is because he killed my partner, HE killed Rook Blonko in front of my eyes" Ben says his voice laced with venom before he shoved Prime away

"W-what no, no way, grandpa would never" Prime says in disbelief, but Ben just ignores him before looking at Sapphire

"Cover your ears" Ben says in a tone serious enough for her to just do as she's told as Ben taps the omnitrix core and speaks up "Play audio recording: Blonko death" Ben speaks into the omnitrix as he removes his hearing using his magic, not wanting to hear his partner dying

"Ben, Ben!" Rook could be heard saying before multiple shots are heard as the next few seconds are followed by screaming, blood curdling screams as Ben called out for his partner which is then followed by the sound of Ben transforming

Prime and 23 just stood there unable to move as what follows for the next several minutes are Max's pleads for mercy as he's being burnt starting from his feet, having transformed into Heatblast, Ben could be heard telling Max that he was going to make his death as physically painful as possible

The screaming continued for several minutes until the sound of flesh tearing, bones breaking, and the sound of plumbers pleading for mercy as they are then present to hear the sounds of Ben slaughtering the entirety of the plumbers currently in the base using XLR8

"You're lucky I don't kill you for making me play that audio" Ben suddenly said as the recording shut off and he restored his hearing

"What….what the f-" Prime begins saying not believing what he just heard before, a quick beep is heard as Ben looks down at his omnitrix and before they knew it, Ben was already walking towards a portal that had seemingly open up out of nowhere as he looked down at his right hand which had been mixed with celestialsapien DNA

"C'mon Sapphire, we're heading back to Alfea, I just hope the girls are there" Ben said quietly as all he needed at that moment was a tight hug from one of them and a shoulder to cry on as he could feel the slightest tears begin forming in his eyes

"A-are we not going to help him, get back to his home universe" Sapphire said pointing at Prime, but Ben just shook his head before coldly saying as he took a step through

"No, we aren't" he said simply before walking through and Sapphire while hesitant also stepped through

Bellwood…..God how much Ben hated this town, first he was forced to see Tetrax again after his death, and second even if he didn't hear it physically, he still heard it as for those few minutes the audio played could almost feel himself back to the moment where his entire life went from bad, to just a straight up hell

Honestly it felt like some cosmic entity similar to a celestialsapien was forcing him to relieve his trauma over, and over, and over, and over, and over again

"Ben, Sapphire!" A voice that Ben, oh so desperately wanted to hear could be heard yelling as he then felt arms wrapping around him

It was Stella who then quickly ran around and looked up at him with a smile only for her to freeze as she saw the tears about to come out of his eyes and soon, they begin slowly going down his cheeks

"Who made you cry?" Was all that Stella said as she slipped off her ring making it into her scepter

"It's nothing Stella, really" Ben tried to reassure only for Stella to grab his hand and begin dragging him towards the others with Sapphire following behind though keeping her distance

"Hey, everyone!" Stella yells as they begin to near the others as they all turn and almost immediately get on high alert as Ben in all honesty looks like shit, and that's all without looking one bit physically hurt, he just looks that sad

"What happened, who hurt you, and where are they" Kevin immediately questioned as he was surrounded a few seconds later and all the while Ben just sighed before just saying

"It's nothing…..I just want to go back go Alfea" Ben said, still feeling down only for him to feel Hope tap the back of his head as Hope used a small spell to review the last few minutes of Ben's memories. As she stands there reviewing in her mind before her eyes just turn pure purple as they only expressed one thing, rage

"Kevin, come with me" She just said as she places a hand on a nearby wall as it becomes covered by a large magic circle before a portal opens in its place, with this being the same spell she and her uncle used to arrive on Magix in the first place

"Girls you take care of your boyfriend, we're going to teach some guys a little lesson, on not bringing up past trauma" Hope says sounding pissed off as she walks through the portal followed shortly after being followed by Kevin

Stella wasting little time raises her staff but just before she does Ben suddenly speaks up "I love you girls" Ben says as the winx all pause before responding just as Stella's teleportation spell takes effect

"Love you too, Ben"

"Ok, which of you wants to go first" Hope says her voiced laced with venom as soon as she arrived at 23's and Prime's location, her eyes glowing bright purple just asking them to speak up so she could beat them within an inch of their lives

"Charmcaster?!" Prime says but he doesn't get a second word in as Kevin suddenly comes from behind him placing a hand on his omnitrix taking on his mutated form

"W-wait cool your jets" Prime says barely just managing to slide out of mutated kevin's grip before slamming down on his omnitrix turning into humungousaur

"Oh, it's too late for that" She states reaching into her bag and pulling out a little pill sized golem that has 1 horn on its head "Because this problem just got waybigger the moment you made my friend cry" She said coldly before she dropped it not really caring the chaos it brought as it grew to its full size of 200+ feet, not saying a single word as she slowly began to charge up her mana as words...simply were no longer needed for what she was about to do.
