Currently on a plane to the country of Japan, there is a brown haired, green eyed 17 year old boy, wearing a green jacket, black T-shirt and jeans. This was Ben Tennyson, other than being your average American teen... oh my.

Only at the beginning of the story an the author has already told a lie.

Ben isn't at all like your normal American teenager, in fact he's far from normal. Forget far, seven years ago Ben had acquired a device called the Omnitrix.

A piece of extraterrestrial technology that allowed the user to change themselves into different aliens at he genetic level. And ever since Ben has used it to help people whenever he can and became a super hero.

As to why he's heading to Japan, no there wasn't an alien invasion, no dr. Animo isn't running amok with mutants, no there isn't an inter dimensional portal opening there. (reference to my other books).

The thing is, back in America and actually everywhere, no evil activity was up. No bad guys running loose, nothing, at first one would think the villains had just gave up. Nope, the plumbers got some super strong new tech, and villains have been fearing to go out in public.

Since there wasn't any need for a hero, Ben decided that for the time being he'd go for a vacation. And a paid one at that, Max decided that his grandson should have a slight working position while he's on vacation.

"So what was the job again Grandpa?" Ben asked his grandfather over the Omnitrix. "Just monitoring the area for suspicious activity" Max said, "normally most extraterrestrials wouldn't dream of coming near earth anymore. But recent activity says otherwise, we only want you to update us every so often. And if need be, we'll you know" he added.

"Got it, and by the way I'm getting paid for that right, didn't think I would get paid on vacation" Ben said to himself. A year has passed since the Daigon event, so far Ben has gotten a new ally named Rook, a cat like alien. And a few new transformations along with his Omnitrix, which after the year was updated.

Given a new form factor to, suit the master control. Yes Azmuth now trusted Ben enough to give him master control of the Omnitrix. Along with install the hyper evolution back in since he saw how it aided Ben numerous times.

And when Galvan acquired the DNA of a slimebiote, a type of small blob like alien. He gave Ben the ability to turn his arms into his alien forms. Speaking of the alien device, it can now change its shape to suit any situation. Whether a choker for men, a shoulder plate, a necklace, and even a chest plate.

Currently the Omnitrix is in Arm band mode? As in on the upper arms near the shoulder. "Yes I guess it does seem strange, but you know the reason" Max said.

Ben nodded then turned the communicator off, mainly because the plane was about to land. As for who Ben was going to be living with, some relatives on his mother's side of the family. Two who were picking him up were named Tō and Saya Endō, he's never met them before.

But he did video chat with them once when he and his parents called a few days back to inform them. "Huh, I didn't know mom had relatives in Japan" Ben commented as the plane finally landed.

Once he walked out of the large air craft, he headed straight for baggage claim. While he was there a girl pale brown hair with piercings was holding a sign that read, Tennyson in English. "Of all the dang things I have to go through. I knew I should've checked if Tō had a double sided coin" she said.

Ben finally got out of baggage claim and looked around. Then spotted the girl with the Tennyson sign, "oh that's me" he said walking towards her. She noticed and held the sign up "you must be our cousin Ben Tennyson right? Wielder of the Omnitrix and what not" he asked.

"Ha ha yeah that's me" Ben said bashfully, "you must be my cousin Saya right?" He asked. "Yup, welcome to Japan" she said.

After a long travel, they were now in Sara's home town. It was almost summer break, hooray, and she would have a lot of free time to spend with her cousin and show him around. In truth despite what she said earlier, Saya was excited to meet Ben.

Not only were her and her brother Tō fans of Ben, but she also wants to get to know her family. "Anyways, welcome, we don't get lots of visitors here, but maybe with you things may change" she said.

"That's most likely the case" Ben chuckled nervously, the two then walked to a cafe. The sign above read Cafe Endō, "I have to work for a while, hope you don't mind" she said. "Not at all" Ben said, "you have your own Cafe, not bad" he added as they walked in.

Then they were greeted by a voice, one that Saya recognized "Yo Saya, that you? Where's...". The source had turned out to be her older twin brother who had blonde hair. In addition he was wearing sunglasses and was wearing a red Hawaiian shirt.

"Woah, mom wasn't kidding, our cousin really is Ben 10" he said. This was Tō Endō, unlike his sister he seemed much more like one who likes to mess around with people. "You must be Tō good to meet you" Ben greeted offering a handshake.

"The pleasure is all mind mister Tennyson" Tō said frantically shaking Ben's hand. "Hey it's fine just call me Ben, or cuz if you like" the shapeshifter said. "Uh sure cuz" the blonde replied, "honestly" Saya said putting on an apron.

"Could you be anymore embarrassing? I am just as much a fan of Ben as you are but at least I was calm when we met" she said. "Bet you blushed, she did didn't she Cuz?" Tō said, Saya blushed, which made her brother laugh.

"Uh Tō, you may want to stop laughing, you're fueling a fire" Ben advised. "What?" The blonde idiot asked, "you're making her mad, and women are powerful and scary when they're angry" the shapeshifter said. "Oh come on, Saya may be strong, but who says she's gonna actually be able to hi..." Tō's sentence was cut off by her punching him in the gut.

"I warned you" the shapeshifter smirked, "he really did" Saya said. Then the door opened and a kid with black hair came in, "hey Saya just came in to visit..." his voice droned off when he say Ben. "Oh hey Coconuts" Tō greeted recovering from his sister's punch.

"How many times do I have to tell you it's Kokonotsu, and why is Ben 10 here?" He asked. "Oh Ben here is our cousin apparently, he came here for a little RnR" Saya said. "Ben that's Kokonotsu, Tō's nickname for him is coconuts because of his name" she added.

"Great to meet a friend of my cousin's" Ben said shaking Kokonotsu's hand, "wow I'm actually meeting Ben 10 in person" he replied excited. The rest of the day went by without incident, well except when Ben had to hold Saya back as four arms, to keep her from killing both Kokonotsu and Tō for accidentally getting a peak under her skirt.

Overall, Ben's relaxation in Japan was about to be interrupted.
