Chapter 1: the Star, the Magician and the Rex

We now go to a jail cell that was currently holding both Ben and the man he was helping out in that street brawl. "This is not my day" he muttered sitting on one of the beds of the cell, he would've talked to someone but all the other inmates had been scared to the other side because of his scary friend.

But not because he had intimidated them... okay he actually did, I mean look at the guy his appearance spells I'm a deadly force to be reckoned with. But that wasn't he only thing, the other part was... apparently this dude had voluntarily cooperated and locked himself in here. Even after the police said they'd let him go ruling it out as self defense but he wouldn't have it. Mainly due to he fact that he thought he was possessed by an evil spirit, which is actually convincing because.

He's got tons of stuff inside the cell that wasn't there earlier, "I don't think we've been properly introduced" Ben said to the man. "My name is Ben Tennyson" he introduced, "Jotaro Kujo" the person said listening to a radio.

"So why did those thugs try and pick a fight with you anyway? Couldn't have done something that bad to them?" Ben asked, "they just did, no reason whatsoever" Jotaro replied. Ben then saw he was reading a manga of some sort "where'd you get that thing anyway?" He asked confused "the evil spirit brought it here, probably to make me lower my defenses" he said before a translucent hand appeared out of his shoulder. Then grabbed the manga he was reading after he was done and set it down, "considering I can see it... I can believe it" Ben said dryly.

'Although that souls explain why he managed to beat up more of those guys that me' he added really thinking about it, and it was true. Jotaro seemed to be able to beat up most of those thugs, that was probably the spirit's doing. "Weird, nobody else can see it. How come you were able to?" Jotaro asked, "not sure, maybe a special few can see them" he shrugged. "Still it doesn't really seem evil, if anything it... seems to be rather overprotective" Ben suggested making he man scoff.

The shapeshifter then noticed the massive amount of stuff the spirit had brought in "not to mention generous" he added. A voice then called out Jotaro's name, sticking his head out of the cell Ben saw a... really pretty woman running to them. Was that Jotaro's girlfriend or wi.. "oh my son"

That snapped Ben to reality, his woman... was Jotaro's mother?! Ironic considering the man himself looks like a full grown man. And she looked fairly young, when she went over to him her son exploded.

Shut up!" Jotaro exploded, causing Ben to jump at his outburst. "You're so freaking annoying!"

Ben gawked at his new...acquaintance. The guy's mother had just come to see him and he shouted at her, cursed at her, and called her annoying? "God Jotaro! Did fall you're head or something what kind of son says that to his mother?!" Ben exclaimed rather defensively before a translucent arm like Jotaro's appeared out of his shoulder. And like with the officers they couldn't see it like Jotaro said, but oddly his mother could. Only instead of a human hand this was like an animal's claw and was green.

"Well... apparently I have one also" Ben had said surprised to see a spirit inhabiting his body. And even more wondering why didn't he Omnitrix keep it out of him when it tried to posses him.

"Okay!" His mother replied with a bright smile on her face. Ben suddenly felt a strange urge to face-plant. Not that he would ever say something like that to his mom but if for some reason he did, she would not respond kindly to that at all.

Jotaro's mother turned to face the officers. "Officers, he's actually a sweet child. He would never do something so awful." The woman had pleaded.

Ben wondered if she was talking about the fight  he and Jotaro got in or what he had just said to her. Either way, Jotaro looked the furthest thing away from sweet. And that is putting it Mildly.

"Excuse me ma'am, but do you know this guy?" One of the officers said, pointing directly at Ben now. "He saw the fight happening and helped to fend those guys off your son."The officer had said, the teen had looked at the woman and tried to mouth to deny knowing him even though she didn't.

"Um..." Jotaro's mother, Ben was guessing she was Mrs. Kujo, looked him over. After a minute she shook her head. "No, I don't recognize him. Is he a friend of yours, Jotaro?"

"This is Ben," Jotaro explained. "Mom, go home. We're possessed by spirits. We have no idea what they might make us do."

One of the officers sighed. "Good grief, that's all he's been going on about. We told him he could leave but he refuses to listen. Forgive me for asking this, but is your son alright in the head?"

"This isn't some hotel!" snapped the other officer, kicking the cell bars. "Get out!"

Suddenly the other three inmates ran to the bars, their arms reaching out. "Please! He's telling the truth!"

"They're possessed by evil spirits! Well, I know that big guy is but if he says the other's got one, I believe it!"

"Let us change cells! We'll never do anything bad again!"

"Shut up!" The officer slammed his baton against the bars but it didn't dissuade the three from begging to be let out of the cell. "Hey, Ben, want a drink?" Jotaro offered, pulling a can from seemingly out of nowhere.

"What kind of soda is that?" Ben asked.

"It's beer," Jotaro said plainly. This lead to the shapeshifter/spirit host doing a spit take in shock "I AM NOT DRINKING THAT!!! I happen to be eight..." Ben was saying before checking his Omnitrix. Thanks to his Alphas warning him about the age regression and acceleration, so he had installed a function that tells him what his age was. He was now nineteen, "Nineteen I am nineteen years old and I am still underage to drink!" He lectured.

"I'm seventeen" Jotaro stated

At first Ben thought he was being sarcastic but as Jotaro fumbled around in his pocket before pulling out a fountain pen, Ben stared. "You're seventeen?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Kujo beamed brightly suddenly appearing back, earning a grunt of annoyance from her son.

Well, Jotaro was definitely the tallest and most buff person Ben had ever met. And that included a teenager that was part Tetramand, a shapeshifting Wizard, a tall and not to mention alluring Umbra witch, and from a recent call from one of his generation a guy with copying powers and white hair.

Not phased at all by Ben's reaction to his age, Jotaro stabbed the bottom of the can with the pen. Once he removed the pen he pulled the can's ring and quickly lifted the can to his mouth. Ben thought he had heard of something like this before. What was it called again?

'Eh, probably best not to think about it' Ben thought before tinkering with his Omnitrix to see if any of his other selves were on the horn.
"He's drinking beer in his cell," One of the officers muttered. "How did he get a beer in there?"

"The spirit did it," Jotaro said, holding up a book. "It brings things to me." Music started playing and Ben noticed there was a radio next to Jotaro.

"He's listening to the radio while reading Shonen Jump?!" One of the officers exclaimed. "How did he...?"

Jotaro got up from his bed. "Do you still want to release me after seeing all this? How about I show you just how dangerous it would be to let me out." He walked towards the bars, the ghostly arm materializing from his right shoulder. The hand reached out of the cell and plucked one of the officer's revolvers out of its holster. Ben stared as the hand placed the gun in Jotaro's.

"My gun?! He took my gun!" The man had exclaimed.

"Dude what are you doing?!" He asked when the seventeen year old had shot himself in the temple for no reason, only to see he was perfectly fine. The spirit thing had caught the bullet before it could even hit him, sighing in relief Ben had fell back into the bed he was sitting on startled.

"That was scary" he muttered, Did...did you really need to do that?" Ben asked, his heart still pounding.

"They wouldn't listen to me," Jotaro said flatly, the ghost arm dropping the bullet, making it clink when it hit the ground.

"So you thought shooting yourself was a good idea?!" Ben yelled.

"Would you rather I shot you instead?" Jotaro asked. "Make your spirit appear?" The young man had a red at him for that "couldn't hurt me if you tried. I'm sometimes bullet proof" Ben had growled.

Later on Jotaro's spirit had brought even more stuff for him. There were several books, a table complete with a lamp, mugs, and a blender, some jackets, some remote-control cars, exercise weights, and even an exercise bike. This supported Ben's theory that the spirits were not evil, but Jotaro wanted to wait until they found out more.

"If could be trying to lower my guard" Jotaro had retorted once driving one of the RC vehicles. "You sure don't mind them though" Ben had said. "If the spirit wishes to get me this stuff, I'll use it," Jotaro retorted. "But that doesn't mean I'll give in to it."

All Ben's spirit had been doing was popping out once in a while and lightly tapped its claws on his shoulder every now and again. Jotaro has chalked it up that Ben's spirit was not evil, rather it was just a benevolent spirit just curious about him. 'Atleast it isn't trying to kill me' he thought before feeling the spirit's arm scratching his back where it had been itching. 'It's a nice one though'

The two heard the sound of footsteps walking towards them. One of the officers from before was peeking around the corner. "Good grief" the officer muttered. "There's even more stuff in there than before. Where did he get it all?"

"I'm still trying to figure that out," Ben called to him.

"And he's got that violent...thing in there with him. Said the American had one too. If word of all this gets out, I'll be fired!" The officer fretted.

"Don't worry," A tall figure wearing a long trenchcoat and fedora who was standing behind the officer said. "I'll get my grandson and his friend out."

Both Ben and Jotaro sat up at this. "Grandson?" Jotaro repeated.

"Alright, step aside" Jotaro's grandfather said, grabbing the officer by the back of his uniform and hoisting him into the air.

"Hey!" The officer shouted as he was moved to the side. "I told you it was too dangerous to get close to the cell, talk to them from here! It's dangerous! I can't be held responsible for what will happen!"

From behind the large figure, Jotaro's mother stepped into view. "Jotaro, it's your grandpa! He can help you two. Just come out with him!"

Instead of replying to her, Jotaro simply got up from his bed and made his way to the cell bars, his grandfather matching his pace step by step until the two of them stood before each other. Ben could definitely see the family resemblance, Much like Jotaro, his grandfather was indeed a tall, muscular figure. His hair was short and grey, and he sported a thick but well-trimmed beard. Aside from his trenchoat and fedora, he wore a turtleneck sweater, khaki pants, dress shoes, and brown gloves with dark wristbands. He and Jotaro stared each other down.

"Get out," Jotaro's grandfather ordered. "You're both coming with me".

"Go away," Jotaro told him abruptly. "I didn't call for you. So you want to help us? What could you do? I'm sorry you came all the way from New York but you cannot help me, grandpa." He then held out his right hand, revealing that he was holding something.

Ben looked at it and saw it was a prosthetic finger, and looking o the elder his missing his pinkie finger, was secretly thankful it wasn't his middle one. "Did you see it? Or even notice it? Don't get near me, it'll only shorten what's left of you life" Jotaro said tossing the finger back to his grandfather.

"Wait, Jotaro" Ben said. "Maybe, if your grandpa can see it, maybe he has a spirit too". He faced Jotaro's grandfather. "Excuse me, Mr..."

"Oh, a fellow American," The elderly man smiled, a sudden shift in mood from what had just transpired. He didn't seem all that fazed at losing his finger either. "At least you seem to have better manners than my grandson. My name is Joseph Joestar. Now, from what I understand, you have one of these evil spirits too, eh?"

"My name is Ben Tennyson. Yeah, it looks like I have one but I don't really know if it's violent or not like how Jotaro's is."

"Is Jotaro forcing you to stay in there?" Joseph asked.

Ben shook his head. "No, but since we both have these spirit things, I wanted to stay behind and help figure out what they are. So, Mr. Joestar, do you have a spirit?"

Jotaro looked over his shoulder at Joseph, curious about his reaction.

Joseph silently looked back and forth between Ben and Jotaro, who waited for his answer. Then he shouted. "Avdol! You're up!"

Ben looked to the side and saw another muscular man, with dark skin, a large overcoat with long sleeves, and a scarf. He wore a headband and his hair was tied upwards. A necklace made of several medallions sporting symbols that Ben did not recognize was also present, though he slightly cringed when he realized that instead of wearing it around his neck, the man wore the necklace from ear to ear. The man didn't seem bothered by it but Ben could never imagine himself getting any sort of accessory like that. He also wore two large bracelets on both of his wrists. Joseph introduced him.

"This is Avdol, a friend of mine who I met three years ago in Egypt, Avdol, make my grandson Jotaro get out of his cell" Joseph had instructed of his companion. "What about Mr. Tennyson?" He asked, "I'd go voluntarily but I'm afraid I'll get shot at or tazered but I'll go along if things don't boil over" Ben had replied standing back up. "Forget it" Jotaro said sitting up from his bed, "He looks pretty strong but you're dealing with me here. Besides, do you really believe I'm the kind of person to let an ugly guy like him do whatever he wants with me? Don't count on it. Now I'm even more pissed off and I won't ever come out" he added.

Ben groaned but in the short time he had met Jotaro, he realized that once the guy was set on something, he stuck to it. That and it seemed that he had issues with authority. Ben wondered if he would get along with Kevin. That is, if he ever got to see any of his family again.

"Mr. Joestar," Avdol said tensely, never taking his eyes off of Jotaro. "It's going to be a little violent. I think he's going to be screaming in pain and ask us to let him out".

Hey, hold on" Ben interjected. "Can't we talk about this first?" He wasn't sure what was going to actually happen but he had a feeling that the situation was getting out of hand. If there was going to be a fight, there was a chance that a lot of people might get hurt, especially if Jotaro's spirit attacked anything even remotely like a threat. Jotaro's mother, the police officer, even those three inmates who were still cowering at the farthest side of the cell could get caught in the crossfire.

"Please step back, Ben," Joseph said cordially to him. "It seems that my grandson is the kind of person who can only be reasoned with through force".

"Dad, what are you..." Mrs. Kujo started to ask.

"Hey" the officer spoke up weakly. "Hey! Don't make any trouble!"

"Shut up!" Joseph barked at him.

The officer flinched. "Yes sir!" Ben sweat dropped as he suddenly had the desire to knock Jotaro out.

Suddenly a red aura like flames began emitting from Avdol's body. As the aura began building up, something seemed to burst out and appear within the cell; a creature with a red, heavily built, humanoid body but with the head of some sort of bird. Flames were being emitted from the being's wrists and completely engulfed the lower half of its body.

"What the Heck?!" Ben exclaimed backing away from the bars as the avian headed entity had appeared. "What the?" Jotaro uttered shocked, "so Avdol's got..."

Joseph smirked at their reactions. "That's right. Avdol also possesses what you call an evil spirit. One that he can control at will! Its name is...Magician's Red!"

Magician's Red opened its mouth, unleashing tendrils of fire that shot towards Jotaro, actually picking him up and slamming him against the wall, pinning his hands and feet. A few tried to get to Ben but he turned his Skin into Heat Blast's.

Jotaro winced from the impact and the heat of the flames. "It's hot," he hissed through gritted teeth. "I'm burning! My arms are burning!"

"Kujo's thrown himself against the wall!" The officer cried. "And he won't budge."

"This doesn't make any sense," said his partner, who must have been behind everyone else the whole time. "Hey look that other guy's got magma for skin or something?!" One of the inmates had yelled in surprise seeing Ben's Pyronite skin. "Also, isn't it getting a bit hot?" He looked over at the thermometer on the wall and gawked when it started rising rapidly. "No way! How can it be this hot?"

Ben took note of what they were saying. Not only was Magician's Red invisible to these guys but so were the flames.

Magican's Red released the tendrils from Jotaro's body, causing him to fall back down onto the bed. It grabbed him by his shoulders and started lifting him up.

"It seems that some how Ben's little transformation trick allowed him to become immune to Magician Red's fire powers" Avdol noted.

Then out of nowhere a loud voice roared out "ORA!"

Ben looked to his new pal and finally saw what Jotaro's entire spirit looked like. If he had to give a brief description of what it looked like, he would have settled for saying it looked like a big, buff, purple Aztec warrior. It had long hair, a cap on its chin, a metallic-looking headband, waving lines that ran down its arms to its torso and then further down to its legs, a short scarf, armored shoulder pads with a spiral design on each, elbow guards, knee guards, a loincloth, and short boots.

"Oh!" Joseph looked impressed. "It's finally appeared! And since it appeared so clearly, that means it's a strong one!"

Ben had to admit, Jotaro's spirit did look pretty cool. And intimidating; no wonder Jotaro might have thought it was an evil spirit. It knocked Magician's Red's hands off of Jotaro before grabbing the other spirit by the neck. Suddenly Avdol cringed, tilting his head back as if he was the one being choked. In fact, Ben could see that it did look like there was something grabbing Avdol's throat. Attacking the spirit affected the one it was possessing?

"I cannot believe he can materialize it so vividly," Avdol wheezed, though he remained standing.

"I wasn't expecting you to have an evil spirit too," Jotaro said to him before looking at Joseph. "And you, gramps, the identity of the evil spirit..."

"I know of it," Joseph said as he crossed his arms, completely nonchalant to the fight happening in front of him.

"Mr. Joestar," Avdol said. "You said you just wanted me to get your grandson out of his cell. I was planning on holding back but we are in danger because of how strong it is. Should I stop? If this continues, I may have to use enough force that will put him in the hospital."

"So be it," Joseph told him. "Give it a shot."

"Yes sir!" Avdol replied. "Red Bind!" Magician's Red shot another tendril of fire at Jotaro. This one wrapped up his body before pulling him forward, slamming him against the bars.

"Jotaro!" Ben exclaimed shocked, "Okay enough is enough" he said before flashing an emerald green. When the bright emerald flash of the Omnitrix dissipated, standing in Ben's place was a seven foot tall pale light green reptilian alien with a long lizard like tail and dark green hair wearing a sleeveless full body jumpsuit with multiple omnitrix symbols located throughout his body.

Name Omni

Species Omnisapian

Description Omni appears as a large humanoid lizard with pale light green skin. He also has dark green hair along with emerald green eyes. The uniform provided to him by the omnitrix is similar to four arms except less bulky. The torso of the outfit resembles Ben's shirt, the pants area resembles diamond head's but has a hole in the back to compensate for his long tail. On his face, shoulders, elbows, hands both palm and back, knees, feet, top only, and on the dorsal surface of his tail are numerous Omnirix symbols. The omnitrix itself located on his chest.

Powers Omni is equipped with the powers of all the aliens of the Omnitrix. He can transform his features into those of the aliens and has the power to use their abilities. These capabilities that he has are what make him the most powerful being in the universe. Omni can also combine the powers of different aliens to create stronger powers along with making weapons out of alien DNA as inspired by Skuurd. He can even use the powers of a celestialsapian. Due to his unique powers Omni is far stronger compared to any other alien race.

Other knowledge this unique transformation Ben has gained was the result of an accident with the omnitrix. When Azmuth called Ben op Galvan Prime to give him an update on the omnitrix a few way bads appeared. After promptly defeating them The omnitrix malfunctioned and all the DNA got erased except for one from an unknown life form. As it turned out a few of Ben's bad guys planned to finally destroy him by erasing the omnitrix. After a slight trauma Ben turned into his new alien which had all the powers of all his aliens. Though he missed all the transformations he originally had, he was glad their demise hadn't been in vain, they were used to create a new member of his arsenal. So to put it in a way, Omni is the only one of his kind.
________________________

"Now Stop!!" Ben roared, that was before his own spirit finally revealed itself.

It stood at the same height as Jotaro's save for a foot taller, had green scaly skin and didn't have any clothes on at all. Though it had three white horns on its nose and a yellow underbelly with emerald green eyes and three Omnitrix symbols. One on each shoulder and one on the center of its chest.

The creature roared out in massive power and began to use the same fire power as Magician's Red and started to Neutralize the fires. "Oh ho!" Joseph chuckled. "Both of them have appeared now."

"And this one also looks strong," Avdol commented. "So, do you plan on fighting me too?"

"Only if you still plan on forcing Jotaro out," Ben told him.

That's when a few guards screamed "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?!" They said, as if they could see Ben's spirit. "I saw the man turn into that lizard thing and after a dinosaur monster popped out of him!" Another said.

"What, they can see Ben's Spirit?" Joeseph yelped confused, "perhaps it's because young Tennyson's is so strong it has enough power to allow itself to manifest in the physical plain" Avdol theorized. "Father what are you trying to do to Jotaro?!" Mrs. Kujo exclaimed, "Holly be a good girl and keep quiet okay?" Me. Joestar asked.

Ben took notice at how faded Jotaro's spirit was when the flames were choking him, but now that they've been absorbed it was strengthening again. "So these things go away if whoever they posses can't breath" he realized, "indeed, but listen here boys" Mr. Joestar said, "these things aren't evil spirits, What they are, are powerful visions formed from your own life energy! And because they stand beside you, we have a special name for these visions," Joseph replied. "They're Stands!"

Ben sweat dropped at the name these things were called "not my first pick at a name" he commented. Making Joseph throw his head back in laughter. "Oh man I'm liking this guy! Hey Avdol let me get Ben out of his cell first, then we can deal with my grandson" he said.

Only to see Ben step out of the cell as if he was a ghost and went through it, "already out" he said. Avdol grinned. "Understood, Mr. Joestar. Magician's Red will hold Jotaro in place." He looked back at Jotaro. "Just like in Aesop's fable, the traveler only needed a coat against the icy wind, but the heat from the sun was too much. Want to leave your cell now, JoJo?"

Ben blinked. "JoJo?"

"Oh, Jotaro's friends take the Jo from his first and last name and combine them to make JoJo!" Holly explained, briefly forgetting about the standoff happening in front of her.

Ben looked over at Jotaro, who was still glaring at Avdol. JoJo did not seem like a fitting nickname unless they wanted to get on Jotaro's bad side.

"Screw you," Jotaro told Avdol. "I won't get out so I don't hurt anybody by mistake." his Stand grabbed two of the cell bars and began bending them, creating a large opening.

The bars are bending on their own," One of the officers muttered, staring dumbfounded at the sight.

With a tug, the Stand snapped the bars, wielding them like spears. Pulling his right arm back, the Stand shot forward, prepared to run Magician's Red though. Ben reached for the Ultimatrix again when Avdol suddenly turned around, Magician's Red disappearing as he did. Jotaro's Stand stopped its assault, Jotaro and Ben both staring at Avdol's actions.

"Why are you walking away from me?" Jotaro demanded testily. Avdol ignored him, walking over to the other wall and sitting down against it.

"Mr. Joestar," Avdol said confidently. "As you can see, I got him out of his cell."

"Huh?" Ben looked at Jotaro's feet and saw that he was in fact standing outside of the cell. He had gone through the opening his Stand had made without realizing it. Jotaro stared at his feet upon realizing the same thing. "Huh clever" Ben whistles as he saw how gullible Jotaro was, not that he'd say it in fear of the teenager's fist.

"Since Avdol has the same ability as you two, you don't have to stay in that cell to do research on your evil spirits anymore," Joseph said.

Ben relaxed, glad that the tense situation was over with. With a sigh, Jotaro adjusted the brim of his hat. "Good grief."

Ben had wondered what this new world would bring him, well only one way of find it. Live the adventure that awaits.

(Don't ask why the Stand is on top of the chapter I couldn't get it inside he actual story when it appeared).
