Ben 10: Coming Storm

Template:Rating

*Ben 10: Coming Storm* is a movie by Hannah which focuses on what becomes of Ben Tennyson after *Omniverse*, serving as a final outing for the show. For this reason, it does not exist in any other of Hannah's universes and attempts to be as in keeping with canon as possible.

## Synopsis

A breach into the Null Void is made by an alternate counterpart of the Rooters, who claim that their Ben became the Coming Storm, and that they need the Prime Aggregor. However, as their dimension-travelling technology fails, more Ben Tennysons become involved in an ever-growing plot. And not to mention Aggregor's own plans...

## Plot

Ben receives three distress calls. One from the Null Void about the Rooters causing trouble again, which Kevin goes to deal with. One from a street brawl which Rook and Gwen go to quell, and one from a group of apartments being attacked, which Ben goes to investigate. There he begrudgingly finds Clancy and swarms of insects, which sweep him up and prevent him from transforming. He attempts to become Heatblast, but mistransforms into Bullfrag, allowing him to get free from the swarm long enough to try Heatblast again, this time getting Ball Weevil. Using the plasma balls to repel the swarm, he feels a strange ripple through the area before trying - this time - to get Swampfire. As he becomes Terraspin, his complaints about the Omnitrix are interrupted by an announcement by another person. Swampfire runs up and torches a large amount of bugs, before noticing Terraspin and asking if he's Albedo.

Terraspin denies that he's Albedo, and asks in return if Swampfire is an alternate version of him, only getting confusion as a result. As the bugs return, Swampfire decides that they don't have time for questions except if Terraspin is good or bad; and once they establish they're on the same side they attack as a combo and incinerate the bugs with a flame tornado.

Once they reach Clancy himself - still horrifically mutated - Swampfire evolves and Terraspin switches into Big Chill, to each others confusion; Big Chill from Ultimate Swampfire still being accessible, and Ultimate Swampfire from Big Chill's altered appearance. They engage with Clancy, and Big Chill switches into Gutrot - which U. Swampfire points out is a new one. Gutrot generates pesticide to immobilise Clancy, and they succeed in incapacitating him.

The Plumbers arrive, and Ultimate Swampfire devolves and then reverts into a 16 year-old Ben Tennyson, still wearing the Ultimatrix. Gutrot reverts into a 17 year-old Ben Tennyson wearing the present Omnitrix, and UA Ben immediately recounts what happened in the Forge of Creation, suggesting the present Ben may have done something to bring him forward.

"You can't just *enter* the Incarcecon, dude." Ben 23's hand stopped just short of the entrance, as the Ultimatrix-wielding Ben folded his arms behind him, "You could get eradicated, or something."

"It's fine." Ben 23 shrugged in return, "I'm sure nothing will happen. Besides, you aren't *my* Ben. My Ben would agree with me, right?"

Ben thumbs-upped, "Go for it, man."

"You're going to let him walk through that gate?"

"Yeah."

"Without checking for security?"

"Yeah."

"You're a year older than me, right? Why do I get the feeling you're less mature?"

Ben shrugged, "Only one way to find out." As he stepped forward, Ben suddenly saw 23's form twist, and as his counterpart faded away so did the rest of his surroundings.

And then he was falling. Fast. Without ever being aware that he closed them, Ben snapped his eyes open and looked forward. The horizon was non-existent, and dark red tinged the sky in every direction. Rocks were sparsely floating around the landscape, and the gravity felt odd. He was in the Null Void, still, but he was falling fast.

"Um." A young voice came from beside him, followed by a blue flash, and Bat-Dude had glided under Ben, halting his momentum, "I think the door *was* booby-trapped."

"You think?" Ben wrapped his arms around Bat-Dude to keep stable, and let out a sigh of annoyance, "We need to find the Incarcecon again."

"No need to rush, it's not like there's any threats in *this* void." Bat-Dude laughed. And then the shift. That same, strange shift that Ben had felt while fighting Clancy happened again. A feeling Ben couldn't name - but was definitely tangible, like everything in the world moved just a little.

Before he could respond, something collided into him, and his grip of Bat-Dude slipped, sending Ben tumbling downwards, fast. A flash, and Ben was AmpFibian, ascending once again to view his attacker. The Null Guardian lunged again, only to be restrained by tentacles. Electricity shot through its body and it screeched in pain, bucking violently. Another set of tentacles wrapped around its back, and another AmpFibian - its Omnitrix symbol blue and gold and its skin a lighter teal - let loose its charge, as the beast roared more and more.

"*Stop!*" A scream sounded from behind the Guardian, as the two Amperis released their grip.

"JellyFritz too much for you?" Ben 23 gave another zap to the Guardian, which moaned weakly.

"Yes! My pet barely scratched you, and you do that?!" Ben couldn't see the source of the voice, even though he could clearly hear it.

"Who are you? Show yourself."

"Don't you recognise me? I'd think that by the endless misfortune you've caused me, not to mention there being somehow *two* of you this time, I wouldn't be mistaken."

Dr. Animo reveals himself - a Merlinisapien hybrid still calling himself D'Void. When both Bens don't recognise him at all, he mentions how 'Ben' left him to rot in the Null Void, and he slowly became sympathetic with the species there, forming proper bonds with them. Both Bens express confusion at his explanation, and assume that it must be an alternate version of Ben who did so. This is confirmed by the sudden arrival of Mad Ben, who attacks the two as Mad Wildmutt, incredibly, heh, mad at them for imprisoning him. After a short scuffle, they question Mad Ben on how he travelled there, and he replies that he doesn't know, he just suddenly ended up in the Null Void, and after picking the lock off his Power Watch he saw the Bens and assumed they had brought him there to humiliate him. Ben insists that he didn't bring Mad Ben there ("at least, willingly"), and it's also revealed that D'Void is not Mad Ben's, him calling Mad Ben "the totally wrong colour".

Ben Prime proposes an alliance between them, Mad Ben and D'Void until they figure out why individuals from other timelines are suddenly appearing; D'Void agrees under the condition that they do not hurt his 'pets' any further, but Mad Ben vehemently rejects it, entering a three-on-one against Ben Prime, Ben 23 and D'Void. Ben Prime transforms into Brainstorm and reasons that Mad Ben's pursuits of revenge are weak and needless, and tells Ben 23 that the easiest way to end this would be to send Mad Ben back to his own timeline as done in *And Then There Was Ben*. Ben 23 transforms into Windy-Hindy, but is intercepted by Mad Rath, who furiously attacked the two and overpowers them. Brainstorm figures out that the platform they're on is short, and if Mad Rath was knocked off Windy-Hindy would be given a window to fire the time blast. Brainstorm switches into Rath and enters a direct brawl with Mad Rath, managing to throw him off the edge after a very angry battle.

"I see. And the ideal transformation for that would be..." Brainstorm tapped his Omnitrix symbol, and Mad Rath snapped around, frothing at the mouth.

"You can't copy-" Mad Rath was interrupted by a lunge from Rath, knocking him backwards and onto the ground.

"Lemme tell ya somethin', Benjamin Kirby Tennyson from an alternate timeline in which I am a warlord for no particular reason! Rath chooses what Rath needs for the situation!"

Claws dug hard into Rath's back, and Mad Rath pulled downward as the tiger screamed and was flung off of him. His claws dug into the rock below them to break his momentum, and after another moment he was charging forward again.

"Lemme tell *ya* somethin', Benjamin Kirby Tennyson from an alternate timeline where I think that piss green is a good colour to wear! I was Rath first, and there can't be two Raths!"

"Why not?!"

"Because I am the one and only Rath!"

"No, I am the one and only Rath!"

"You're making me MAD!"

"You're making me MAD TOO!"

(From somewhere behind the opposing Raths, Windy-Hindy helped himself to invisible popcorn.)

"There's only one way to settle this!"

"Rath agrees!"

"A battle-"

"-of fists!"

"Let's do this, inferior alternate self!"

And then one Rath lunged at another (Windy-Hindy wasn't sure which was which anymore), and pinned him down, only to be kicked violently in the stomach, followed by a grab by the shoulders and a flip

The suit almost resembled what Chrono Spanner - his son - looked like, but there were a few distinct differences. Primarily, the colours were drained and dull, gray replacing green and the white resembling dirty sheets more than the shiny coating of the armour Ben 10,000 knew. The signature scarf that Ken's Spanner wore was absent, and the suit had a plain hole on the back of both of its hands. Noticing Ben;s line of vision, Spanner threw his - his? at least, Ben assumed that this Spanner was male too - hands up in jest.

"Sorry, I wanted it to be symmetric, but you know, if I didn't have the holes I wouldn't be able to access this." Spanner flipped his hand, and Ben stepped back in shock. Poking out of the glove was a red hourglass symbol which he knew all too well as an Omnitrix, but not only that, its position meant that it could only be a certain one. The Ultimatrix that Albedo had built after Ben had taken - and later destroyed - his.

"Albedo?" Ben readied his Biomnitricies warily. AS far as he knew, Albedo was still serving time, even with a body now resembling him as a young adult. Had he escaped? Given the events so far, Ben wouldn't be surprised.

"Incorrect. This *is* his Ultimatrix though, I was simply lucky enough to take it off his hands."

"You didn't... kill him, did you?" Ben pulled a gauntlet closer to him.

"Me? Kill?" The man in the Chrono Spanner suit put his hand to his heart in a melodramatic accusation, "Why would I? Don't worry, Ben Tennyson, all of this is arranged, and not a single soul has - or will - be hurt." He gave a thumbs up, before abruptly slapping his Ultimatrix down and disapeparing in a flash of grey. Less than a moment later, tentacles wrapped around Ben 10,000's torso, and Ghostfreak's voice rasped from behind him. "Except of course, you."

"Tennyson, what don't you see?" Spanner gestured at the crowds around them, and Chromastone noticed that they were watching. Waiting for the inevitable conflict that would spark between the two. "These people are victims. The Coming Storm betrayed them, and they were left without any hope. They need someone to guide them. They need a HERO!" Spanner shouted the last word, causing the crowd to move into an uproar. Thousands upon thousands cheering for him, this... fake Spanner. "It's not *enough* for just *his* death. The Storm will come again and again, across every dimension, until nothing is left. The only way is to stop every single one of you. Every Ben Tennyson.

Chromastone grimaced, "You're wrong. I've met countless versions of me who would never turn to the side of evil. Even in the future, I'm still me."

"That's the problem!" Spanner snapped, "You're always *you*. And in the end, you always give into selfishness, and always misuse that device. Which 'future' have you seen? One of potential? One which is not guaranteed to happen?"

"I-"

"And even if it comes true, you're not even fifty. Plenty of time to abuse the Galvan-given power which landed on your wrist."

"Shut up! I won't be the Coming Storm! And if you can't accept that, I'll-

"You'll what? Beat it into me? Resort to violence once again?" Spanner snarled at this point, venom dripping his every word.

"No." Chromastone tapped his chest, and he was Ben again, holding up his hands to make it clear he wouldn't transform again, "I'll talk to you. I refuse to believe that every Ben goes bad."

"Not every counterpart of yours is 'bad' is Every 'Ben' is or will be irresponsible. They do not have to be purely evil to be a threat. Take the counterpart you've named as Bad Ben, for a slightly ironic example. His background was no different; he grew up the exact same as you. And yet, he happened to give into the temptation of power sooner rather than later. That's the sole reason why he's, as you dubbed him, 'Bad'. There are countless examples; Mad Ben, Benzarro, Eon, and many more. All of them were too drawn by the power, and so will every 'Ben', eventually."

"Those are barely anything." Ben retorted, "just because in some dimensions, things don't go right, doesn't make it guaranteed for them all."

"Oh, you'll see very soon how wrong you are." Ben could sense Spanner smirking under the mask, "Now, I've wasted enough time. With the current state the dimensions are in, I won't need to travel far to find a new target." Ben's fist clenched, and he nearly lunged forward, stopping himself begrudgingly.

"Here's what I'm going to do." Spanner held up his left hand, displaying Albedo's Ultimatrix on the back of it. It pulsated a deep red against the greys of the Spanner suit, and its dial poked out from a hole in the suit. "I'm going to transform into Clockwork, and leave. You will not stop me."

"Fat chance." as Spanner reached down to the Ultimatrix, Ben lunged forward, and they fell as Spanner's shape changed into a crimson Chronosapien's. Ben touched his own watch, and felt himself shift into Four Arms. An armoured kick to the stomach sent him backwards, but he steadied himself and met his opponent's eyes. Before he could act, Clockwork's hand reached to the symbol on his chest again and spikes shot outwards from it, latching onto the corners around it. His body shape twisted again, this time becoming slimmer, and the golden metal melted into thick cogs running down from his shoulders into a large mechanism on his chest. The cogs moved in rhythm immediately, as a red display lit up with Ultimate Clockwork's face.

Four Arms lunged again, but Ultimate Clockwork
