Chapter 1: ocean's all around
Ben opened his eyes to see the world he was in, and his family standing before him. Malgax had crashed next to them, "once all of you are gone, our plan to finally bring down that brat Tennyson will finally prevail" he said turning his arm into a blade.
The mutant held it over his head, "say goodbye to your family Tennyson!!" Malgax said as her swung.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Ben cried out.
Scene change, in a large room filled with books, Ben was laying down on a couch. A man in a lab coat was supervising him, there were also a few kids there who were inspecting Ben as he slept.
A girl with tanned skin and red hair then came in, "how is he?" She asked. "Doing fine, in fact I can't seem to find a single thing wrong with him" the man said. Ben's eyes then shot opened and he screamed "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" In addition he also had Echo Echo's powers on.
Which lead to some of the kids getting knocked back, he held his fore head in stress. He was also breathing heavily, "oh your awake now, that's a set of pipes you have on you" the man said. The girl then walked over, "I'll say if I didn't know better I think you may have caused the dent in the wall" she said jabbing her thumb at a large indentation.
With which the cause was indeed Ben's sonic scream. "Sorry" he said rubbing his head, "would you mind telling me where I am or at least how I got here?". "Oh well, me and my crew found you a little while ago sinking in the ocean" the girl said.
"Oh, then can you tell me where I am" Ben asked getting up, "woah maybe you should sit down, after all you nearly drowned" the girl spoke up. "Now Bellows, I know your concerned but there's nothing wrong with him" the man said. "Also it would be a good idea to let him take in his surroundings".
The red head, now known as Bellows had conceded and signaled Ben to fallow her. "Come on, I'll show you around" she said, "later Dr. Oldham" she said as they walked out.
"So where am I exactly?" Ben asked, "you happen to be on the largest fleet in the world" Bellows said. She opened the door to reveal a large city composed of buildings on boats. Surrounding from all sides is a whole ocean, "meet Gargantia".
Ben stood in awe, a large city on the ocean, "just where am I? Is this even earth?" He asked. "Yeah, this is earth? It's just, a long time ago, an... oh hold on I need to check on something" he red head said. "Wanna fallow?" She asked, Ben nodded and fallowed her, "where to?" He asked.
"Over to those storage houses, impatient?" She asked, "nope, I just think I can get use there quicker" Ben said. "Oh yeah? How" Bellows asked quizzically' Ben smirked swept her off her feet. "Hey what do you think you're doing!?" She yelped in surprise, the teen shapeshifter turned his legs into XLR8's and sped away.
Little to say Bellows was freaking out, luckily it was short lived as Ben stopped outside of a large store house. "Sorry about that, thought it'd be helpful if I got you there quickly" he apologized. "That... was... amazing, how can you run so fast" she asked.
Ben tapped the Omnitrix face plate, "I'll explain later" he said as they walked in. Once they had entered a blonde guy was trying to open something up. "Dang it, this thing won't budge" he said, Ben walked over "hold you horses" he said taking the crowbar from him.
"Hey who do you think you are" the blonde guy asked, "sorry but I thought I could help, now let's see" he said. "Ha we've been trying to open up that tin can for hours now and it still hasn't come loose".
Ben smirked then found a solution, "and break, break break break break" he repeatedly said trying to take it apart. He had managed to open a few areas but no luck, "hmm ooh build build build build build build!!!".
The shapeshifter was now grabbing random tools and combining them together and had created some kind of all purpose tool. "Stand back, this is gonna get sparky" Ben advised, he used the tool's combination blade and blow torch to make a small crack.
With one tiny nudge it opened up, Ben used four arms' strength to try and get it open. Only to have it close again, "man this is tough" he said, "though you hadn't fully opened it, I have to say I was impressed" the blonde guy said.
"Thanks, names Ben Tennyson" Ben introduced, "Pinion, also how were you able to open that thing up? Even if it was a little" he asked. "Helps when you can adjust your strength" Ben said, the workers had given him a confused look.
Then a girl came running in, shorter than Bellows but with equally tan skin. Brunette hair, wearing sorta tribal like clothing, and she had a flying squirrel on her shoulder. "Here's that order you wanted" she said giving Bellows a pad to sign.
She the looked to Ben "hey isn't that the kid you said you found in the water?" She asked. "Oh yeah, Ben this here is Amy" Bellows introduced, "oh uh there Amy, my name is Ben Tennyson" he greeted. She smiled in response "well nice to meet you Ben, so any luck opening it up Pinion?" Amy asked.
Pinion replied "nah, this thing can't be opened, I can't even take it apart" he said. Ben then turned his eyes and brain into Gray Matter's. "It seems that this piece of technology is almost thousands of years ahead of you. If that is the case the indestructible armor is well required if it were to be a combat machine" Ben said.
Everyone had looked at him funny "oh yeah Ben, how do you know?" Pinion asked. Ben then pointed at it "well when you look at it carefully, the writing here doesn't seem to match you language but it seems to have characters similar to normal earth language. In addition when you look at the overall design" the shapeshifter then made major leap to the higher platform.
"The machine bares a humanoid form, making more of a military or combat based vehicle, so the armor on it would be near to unbreakable for the durability while fighting". The workers had indeed nodded and agreed with what he said, "say where did this come from? Because another part of the design some how says that it is capable of astronomical transportation" Ben asked.
(A/N: Ben is also talking kinda nasally like Gray Matter, his powers make him talk in the alien's voices from time to time).
"What?" Pinion tilted his head, Ben sweatdropped, "space travel, just what did happen to earth?" He asked jumping to the floor with WildMutt's limbs.
"That sounds like a question for doctor Oldham, but I'm sure we should get you to Ridget first" Bellows said. "Who's Ridget?" Ben asked, "oh she's the fleet commander's advisor, if anything important turns up then she has to tell the commander about it" Amy explained.
"Oh I guess we can talk to her first" Ben said turning his arms back to human and his legs Into Fasttrack's. "Lead the way" he said picking Bellows up again, "your going to do this every time aren't you?" The red head asked. "Would you prefer go over my shoulder?" Ben asked dryly.
"Fair point" she admitted then they sped to their desired location. "So we close yet?" He asked, Bellows looked around. "There make a right" she instructed, the shapeshifter did as requested and sped towards a well guarded tower.
They entered and a black haired woman wearing glasses addressed Bellows. "Bellows? I didn't expect you here? State your business" she asked. "I take it your Ridget" Ben asked, the ravenette turned to him. "Is this the boy you found?" She asked the red head, Bellows nodded.
"Well, in glad to see you are okay, also have either of you seen anything strange?" Ridget asked the two. Bellows gave an awkward laughed, "just for the record, define strange?" Ben said.
"Strange as in a fast moving object moving through Gargantia", Ben then laughed awkwardly as well. "Funny thing" he said, "that... was me and Bellows" he said. Ridget had a confused look, "what do you mean, how can you two move at sonic speeds?" She asked.
Ben then used the Omnitrix to turn the top of his skull into Brainstorm's and his brain into a hybrid of graymatter and Brainstorm. He opened up his skull plates to reveal his brain, "Gah!? Just what is that!?" They both exclaimed.
Ben's brain then sparked with electricity and it slowly made its way to the two women. He had shared his origins with them, after a few seconds he stopped and turned his head back to normal. The two had been astonished, "so you came here, from another universe?" Ridget asked.
Ben nodded, "and... you lost your family... and the device on your chest" Bellows said. "It's what gives you those weird but powerful abilities", he nodded again.
Later on he had talked with the fleet commander, the commander had allowed him to stay on Gargantia provided he help out. Normally with helping the citizens when there's a skirmish occurring, when fishermen are in need of assistance. And the most important task, protection, the commander had informed Ben about the hazards at sea.
One in particular being pirates, fully understanding the proposal Ben agreed. "So looks like you're stuck here" Bellows said, "yeah looks like it" he replied.
"I still can't believe, despite the knowledge that your family's gone" Ridget said, "you still volunteered to help us. Why is that?" She asked. "Because it's what heroes do" Ben said, "back where I was from I was a hero and protected and helped those who couldn't protect themselves. It's only right I carry it out here, in order to keep my own family alive, I'll keep doing what I do best, so they can live on through me".
The two had been impressed with his resolve, "that's good, we should probably notify the fleet about you" Ridget said. "In the morning, I mean it is pretty late" Bellows said, "okay but where is he going to sleep?" Ridget asked.
"It's fine I can sleep anywhere, I'll just make a spider monkey hammock between two buildings" Ben said. "Not going to happen" Ridget said sternly, "for one it would be rude to leave a new resident of Gargantia just sleeping outside and what if it rains. Two what would happen if some one were to see you?".
Ben understood her point, "then where am I gonna live?" He asked.

'Me and my big mouth' Ben was now sleeping in the same bed with Bellows. He said he was going to shrink down and sleep somewhere on a shelf until she accidentally got him in the head. That had knocked him out cold, he just woke up now.
'Okay Tennyson, just calm down, divert you mind away from the fact that you're in the same bed with a girl' he thought to himself. Bellows had stirred a little in her sleep, 'oh boy, please god, try not to make this more awkward than it already is'.
Then Bellows put her arm around him, 'you hate me don't you' he thought, then an alarm went off. Bellows had woken up and hurled Ben off the bed, "ow" he groaned. "Oops sorry" bellows apologize, then both ran outside.
Ben then smelled something "Huh hey what's wrong?" Bellows asked. The shapeshifter's head then changed into WildMutt's as did his arms and legs. "This way quick" he yelled as he ran on all fours to the source of the smell.
The found their way to the same area Pinion was working on, he told them that some weird dude just appeared in the hangar and kidnapped Amy. "Come on, we have to hurry" Ben said as they charged out him sniffing around to find the intruder. 'As I suspected, the mech was also a preservation chamber. To keep the pilot alive during dormant periods of time' Ben thought.
He found that out when the Omnitrix decoded a part of the language written on the armor. The teen hero skidded to a halt, "what's wrong Ben?" Bellows asked, he sniffed around then crashed through the other wall. "Sorry" he growled then fully crashed through spotting the intruder.
He seemed to have purple eyes, white hair and wearing some sort of high tech black suit.
Ben roared and broke through, the intruder seemed to be talking in a weird language. Ben had turned his limbs and head back, then transformed into Omni completely "okay buddy, put the lady down or else we're going to have problems" he said.
The stranger then held up a gun which fired a laser, Ben reacted by turning his arms into Feed Back and absorbing the energy. "Nice try" he said blasting the ground next to the intruder as a warning shot, reason why he didn't hit him. He was carrying Amy over his shoulder, "now that was a warning shot, out the girl down and you won't get pounded" Ben said turning his arms into Diamond head's.
He blasted another round of lasers at Ben, who blocked it, and escaped. Ben fallowed him, at the moment a figure had been standing by the next bend ran next to him when he ran past. "Evening young Tennyson" he greeted, the alien looked to him and gasped.
"Professor Paradox? Man it's a good thing to see a familiar face" Omni said still chasing the intruder. "I'm sorry to intrude on your current endeavor but I have something to tell you" the time traveler said.
(A/N: you know the drill, tells him about the other hims that have been spread throughout the multiverse. He excepts it and gains his predator form, sorry but this part of these books is getting tiring and redundant ).
"Man, that's a lot to take in, but at least I know that neither me or my clones brethren aren't copies but the original" he said. "Yes and also as you know this world is flooded with water, the oceans rose so high land doesn't exist anymore, but you shall learn more later" the time traveler said before zapping Ben with the Nemetrix.
"OW!?!? What was that for!?" Ben yelled then ended up transforming. "Benjamin meet your new alien Predator" Paradox said.
In the transformation Ben's clothes were replaced with a jumpsuit similar to Omni's except the legs were replaced with shorts and was Ruby red. The new creature was similar to said hybrid alien as well except it had red skin and dark red hair. It's eyes were ruby red and it had sharp fangs. It's hair ran down its back taking the shape of dorsal fins. In addition multiple Nemetrix symbols appeared around the new alien's body and the Omnitrix's symbol was replaced by the Nemetrix's. Ben's hands then turned into four fingered claws and his legs looked similar to a dinosaurs'. When the transformation was complete the new alien roared and got down on all fours
__________________________
Name: Predator
Species: Predasapian
Description: appears similar to Omnisapian except is composed of DNA from various Predatory aliens. Like an Omni's uniform is a full body suit except the legs and sleeves go down to only its fore limbs. This species is red instead of green and is more animalistic. And due to DNA they are quite comfortable consuming live creatures. This creature is surprisingly not aggressive, rather it has a large degree of protective instincts. When Ben is in this form, he feels like an animal parent defending its babies when he is defending his friends.
Powers: like Omni able to transform his features into those of the Nemetrix predators. And in addition is able to copy their powers. Abilities that require different body types, he is able to shape his body to fit that description.
Notable facts: this life form was created after the Nemetrix and the Omnitrix user made contact with its energy. Thanks to this the DNA crossed over to the Omnitrix and allowed it to create this new form.
___________________________
Ben roared then observed his new form as he was chasing the intruder. "Woah I'm every predator in the Nemetrix but I'm still me" he said. Then Threw a terrorantula energy web at the white haired intruder but narrowly missed.
"Oh I am loving this, thanks Professor see you around" Ben said before continuing the chase. The time traveler then disappeared in a flash of blue and white light.
Ben had finally reached the intruder, Amy had managed to escape long enough to give Ben a chance to sneak attack him. "Okay albino hair" he taunted then leapt at him with unmatched agility. "Let me show you what happens when you trespass on Ga... GAH!?" The intruder had nailed Predator in the stomach and flipped in over into the ocean.
Bellows had seen, then a large emerald flash emitted from the water, the surface started to shake and rise. Only to reveal a semi light blue semi green reptile rising from the depths of the ocean. Bigger than any recorded ocean life form in existence, "RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" It roared.
Everyone freaked out, that was until Bellows spotted the Omnitrix symbols on the creature's skin. "Ben is that you!?" She yelped, Ridget who also saw was equally baffled by Ben's current size.
"Okay bucko, we can do this the easy way, or the majorly hard way" Ben threatened. The intruder then spoke again and from the hangar where he appeared the mech had flown out and guarded him from Ben. "That puny thing please" he said then roared, "what are those?" "How did they get here?". Every citizen of Gargantia had been asking so many questions regarding both the robot and the alien.
'Well Benny boy' he Alien thought to himself, 'welcome to Gargantia'.
