Ben 23 and the Battle at Area 51

**Ben 23 and the Battle at Area 51** is the seventh episode of Ben 10: Battle of the Omnitricies. This episode was written by Benzarro85 on May 6, 2022.

## Plot

A raging tiger storms out during the late hours in downtown Bellwood. The tiger was humanoid, with glowing green eyes, and a visible Omnitrix symbol on his chest. The naked Appoplexian was busy in a battle against a returning villain, who Ben hadn't seen in a while. There, the villain, who had been revealed to be Billy Billions, started firing yellow rays from his blaster as the angered tiger would continue to dodge, which would set him off to become more aggresive.

"LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHIN' BARNEY BILLIONS! RATH IS GONNA KNOCK YOUR BLOCK OFF, STARTING WITH THAT STUPID BLASTER OF YOURS!!!" Rath shouted.

Billy snarled at the tiger as he responded. "IT'S BILLY! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?!"

"AS MANY TIMES AS I'LL KICK YOUR BUTT." Rath snapped back, before Rook managed to get behind the child. "Before my partner will just so happen to trap you in his net."

"His what-?"

And so, the Revonnahgander proceeds to take down Billy Billions and trap him inside his net projected from his Proto-TOOL. As soon as the battle came to a close, Rath transformed back into Ben as he yawned. It seemed as if Ben and Rook had been trying to take down Billy all night, since the sun was about to come out. By then, both the Human and the Revonnahgander decide they should head home to get some rest. Rook makes his departure to the headquarters, while Ben makes his way home.

A timeskip of two hours had passed, and Ben had been struggling to sleep. Because of the fight that happened overnight, Ben could not get some rest. He checked the time as it was revealed to be gone six in the morning. The sky remained as a sunrise, with the clouds looking like a pinkish-purple colour. Within a couple of seconds of complete silence, a blue portal is instantaneously projected as Azmuth from the 23rd Dimension and Ben 23 spawned in.

Ben sprung up from his sleeping position to see Ben 23 and the Galvan stand in front of him as he wiped his eyes. A groan could be heard.

"Not this again." Ben spoke, getting up. "How many times do I have to be his mentor until he sorts himself out?"

Azmuth from the 23rd Dimension responded. "Until he learns to become a proper superhero, I have no clue. He continues to abuse his power of the Omnitrix for his personal gain."

Ben crosses his arms. "And that is?"

"Pleasing his fans and other unnecessary, dim-witted uses."

Ben wasn't surprised at all by the comments Azmuth made. It seemed Ben had a lot to teach Ben 23 and his abuse of the Omnitrix that he calls the Hero Watch. It seemed as if today was not his day. By then, Azmuth returns to his normal dimension, as Ben 23 stands there, waiting for Ben to speak.

"Right... let this be a lesson to you. You do not abuse the power of the Omnitrix when I'm in charge, got it?"

Ben 23 scoffs. "Yeah yeah... I've been told this before we got here."

"Yeah, but knowing you, you don't listen." Ben responded, stretching. "And I wanna know if you know things about Albedo."

"Who? The one with the grey hair and wears red?"

"Yeah. Has he been inside your dimension at all recently?" Ben asked.

"For your information, he has indeed been inside my dimension." Ben 23 responded. "Allow me to tell you the story."

The flashback started with Ben 23 signing autographs with his fans. Just a casual day for him, until a mysterious flash appears from nearby.

"A purple flash had shown up at home. And that's when he showed up." Ben 23 narrated.

Albedo had exited the portal as he finds himself in contact with Ben 23. Albedo transforms into Swampfire briefly before he evolved into his ultimate form, being Ultimate Swampfire.

"He... turned into an evolved form of Mr. Mucky, so I had no choice but to fight."

Ben 23, in the flashback, transformed into Rollaway as he tried attacking the evolved Methanosian. Ultimate Swampfire manages to easily take down Rollaway as he curled into his spherical form. He rolled from the fight, looking as if he retreated, but he slammed directly into Ultimate Swampfire, knocking him into a building. The flashback ends with Rollaway getting ready to finish Albedo off.

"So Albedo has been inside your dimension?" Ben asked again.

"Yeah. It felt out-of-the-blue, get it?"

Ben rolled his eyes. "Enough with the puns, this is serious."

"Whatever, man. All this heroing business at home is nothing but a joke for me." Ben 23 responded. "I don't see why any villain has the audacity to ruin my business-"

Ben 23 is cut off by an explosion that just so happened to be nearby Ben's house. Further down the road, a Ben Tennyson with spiked hair, with orange eyes, looks for revenge. Ben 23 and Ben exit Ben's house to stumble upon the evil Ben. Mad Ben turns his head, looking at them.

"You two." Mad Ben spoke, turning his whole body around and pointing at them. "I want a rematch from our last encounter."

"Dude, our last encounter was about a month ago." Ben spoke, disinterested. "Besides, no matter how many times you and the others try to get your revenge, I'd still be kicking your butt."

"Maybe so... but I've seen what you're capable of." Mad Ben snickered.

Mad Ben dials the Omnitrix he calls the Power Watch, as the aliens were being scrolled. Aliens like Arctiguana, Blitzwolfer, NRG and XLR8 were scrolled past, as Mad Ben chose he wanted to transform into something he considered cool. Mad Ben slams down on the Omnitrix core as he is engulfed in an orange light. As quick as a flash, Mad Ben had transformed into an old favourite of his: Rath. Startled, Ben and Ben 23 quickly transformed into their aliens, being Eye Guy and RADI8. RADI8 was Ben 23's interpretation of Ben Prime's NRG.

"Wait a minute... you have NRG?" Eye Guy asked RADI8.

Annoyed, RADI8 responded. "It's RADI8, not NRG."

"Fine. But eye gotta admit, the name sounds awesome." Eye Guy spoke, adding a little pun to his response.

Rath leaps towards the two as they swurve out of the way getting ready to attack. Rath attacks Ben Prime first while Ben 23 had to think of a plan to attack whilst in his Prypiatosian-B form. And with that, RADI8 exiles a beam of radioactive energy as it strikes the chest of the Appoplexian, sending him off his feet and into somebody's backyard.

"We need to take this fight elsewhere." RADI8 spoke. "If not, houses will be badly damaged by our attacks."

Eye Guy stepped back in response. "Good call. Eye believe we should get going before he catches up. Turn into anything that can run or fly very fast."

RADI8 quick changes into Fish Kite while Eye Guy proceeds to transform into Fasttrack. As soon as they finished transforming, they fled the scene, just in time for Mad Ben to arrive and watch them escape. Mad Ben had transformed back as he began to dial his Omnitrix and transform into an alien that could catch up. And thus, Mad Ben transformed into Feedback, so he could run super fast on the lamppost wires.

Fish Kite and Fasttrack arrived at downtown Bellwood as they transformed back into their original human forms. With them catching their breath, Ben decided to think.

"Do you think... since our Omnitricies linked... you'd turn into anything I can turn into?" Ben asked.

"I would show you, but we don't have time for that now." Ben 23 responded. "Maybe some other time."

Their conversation is cut short with the arrival of the Conductoid as he jumps from the wires onto thr ground, firing away his electronic blasts, causing the two to panic and get ready to transform. Ben 23, in a panic, transforms into Mr. Mucky, while Ben unintentionally and accidentally transforms into Ventrilosquid. Confused, Mr. Mucky looks at him.

"Umm... is now a good time to use... what ever that guy does?" Mr. Mucky asked.

"I don't even know what this guy does. Let alone know who he is." Ventrilosquid responded, harshly.

Feedback manages to catch up with the heroes as they proceed to fight. Ventrilosquid tries retreating so he could change into something else, while Mr. Mucky fended off Mad Ben's Feedback for a while. Later, Ventrilosquid entered an alleyway as he transformed back. Ben tried dialling the Omnitrix again, as aliens like Four Arms, Rocks, Fasttrack, Big Chill, Atomix and Brainstorm were selected. Ben activates the core as he transforms into Brainstorm.

"Perfect." Brainstorm spoke, relieved.

Brainstorm enters the fight as he watches Feedback easily taking down Mr. Mucky, resulting in his detransformation. Ben 23 looks up to see the Cerebrocrustacean as he grew annoyed.

"Took you long enough." He groaned.

"Hush, boy." Brainstorm snapped. "I just got the wrong alien the first round. It's payback time."

Ben 23 gets up and dusts himself off before transforming into Teenage Alien Windy Turtle. The turtle alien looks at his transformation as he sighed. Brainstorm looked over as he snickered.

"So you picked Terraspin." Brainstorm spoke.

"Be quiet." the Geochelone Aerio responded. "You picked Braincrab. It's only fair."

"Would you like me to make it easy for you?" Mad Feedback asked.

"I'd like that." Brainstorm responded. "We seem to be at a disadvantage here."

"Very well." the Conductoid replied, quick-changing into another alien. It seemed as if Brainstorm and Teenage Alien Windy Turtle thought Mad Ben was going easy on them, but it turns out Mad Ben transformed into Atomix.

"Wait a second..." Brainstorm spoke. "I haven't transformed into Atomix yet. What gives him the right to use him before his re-appearance in another episode?"
