Ben Ten disappeared from the public eye prior to Portal Year 10 (the launch of the game), and was not heard from for several years. One of her most famous deeds was defending the town of Yanshi against the Tumeroks and, during the Beta of Asheron's Call, helped defending Rithwic.2010/06 Shifting Gears - Yanshi (Town Network Sign)1999/07 Call to Arms - Announcements - Asheron's Call Beta#Call to Arms Recap
