A few days after the whole Yurlungur incident, Ben and the town's mayor had talked. And he was given a house, other than for saving Bahumut, he was also rewarded for helping out the dragon.

Though Ben initially refused the mayor wouldn't have it, so in defeat Ben accepted the offer. Currently the aforementioned hero is flying through the air.

"Okay lets see" he said taking out a list, he had a schedule for his duties as the town's protector. Number one on the agenda was to survey the area around Haruna for anymore Trips. The beetle creatures from before.

Speaking of the battle within the dragon's belly, Ben had ran a system's check of the Omnitrix. As it turns out when Leviathan transformed into her enhanced form, the Omnitrix had also done something.

And when Ben observed the change the Omnitrix analyzed the entire process. Apparently the device had scanned Leviathan's transformation and recognized it as a very useful ability. So it made a new program that can allow Ben to copy abilities that are able to enhance one's already present abilities.

Such as the female mage's winged forms of this world to enhance their abilities to the maximum level. And considering this world's history, Ben had been the only man who was able to have a winged form like the women.

When he was told that... well little to say he was a bit flustered. Because he can do something only a women from this world can do he was technically considered a girl. Not that it bothered him that much, he had experienced something similar... but.

Well let's not talk about it, any way, he was about to finish his rounds around the forests. "Okay looks like the place is clear for now" Ben said as he flew down to find a place to land.

"Now what to do, my schedule is free until this noon when I have to do another sweep of the area. And I don't have that meeting to attend until Monday and Wednesday". As it turns out that was a self made schedule Ben has. The mayor only told him to survey the area, but also to help in any way he can around town.

And the meetings were to discuss about the trips infestation in regard to Ben after helping out Yurlungur. "What should I... oh hey wait isn't that Jörmungundr down there?" Ben asked himself. Looking down he saw a little village, and next to one house he saw his friend Jörmungundr.

"Hey maybe she needs help with something" he said as he flew down to ground level. "Hey Jörmungundr" he called out, she turned around to spot him flying.

"Hey Ben, funny seeing you here" she said as he landed, "hey I just finished my sweep of the area, now I'm just looking for something to do in between until my second sweep" he replied.

"Okay, want to help me out with making breakfast?" Jörmungundr asked, "sure, what'd you need help with?" Ben asked.

Just then the two heard three voices screaming Jörmungundr's name. Or the first part of it "Jörm!" They yelled, Ben looked to the source to see three little girls. All of which had tanned skin like Jörmungundr's.

"Hey who's this big sister?" One asked, "oh remember when I told you the story of how me and three other people had to get my Ax out of a dragon?" She asked.

The three young girls nodded, "well he's one of them, say hello to Ben" he gave a shy wave. "Wow he's handsome" two of the three said "Kinda cute also but more handsome" the other said.

"Seriously you treat Ben with respect and not me!?" An angry little voice yelled. Ben looked to one of the girl's hands to see Syrup trapped, "Syrup? What are you doing posed as a little girl's doll?" He asked.

"DOESN'T MATTER CAN YOU PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE THEY'RE MAN HANDLING ME!!!!" The Fairy screamed.

Later on Ben and the girl's had finished preparing breakfast for nearly the entire village. "Wow this is quite a spread, how come you made so much food?" Syrup asked. "Oh it must be for me huh?..." Ben groaned over the fairy's obliviousness, especially since he saw a lot of men behind her.

Most likely one of them is Jörmungundr's dad. "Man that smells delicious" one of them said, "oh my a little fairy, is this your guest Jörm?" An old man asked. "Yeah" she replied, the elder then caught eye of Ben "and how about this young man?" He asked, "uh hi there, names Ben Tennyson" the shapeshifter introduced himself.

"He's the one who helped me battle also those bug things inside of that dragon dude" Jörmungundr reminded them. "Really? Well thank you for keeping Jörmungundr safe, you have our respect" one of the other men said.

"Just happy to help, after all as a super hero it's my duty to help others regardless of what happens to me" he said. The other men seemed impressed by his morals, "ah yes, young Tennyson always does the right thing, even if he has to throw away either his well being or dignity away" a voice said. And an all to familiar one to Ben, they looked to the source to see a middle aged man wearing a lab coat and goggles.

"Woah, professor Paradox?" Ben gasped and the scientist nodded, "yes it is I Benjamin" he said. "Huh? Ben who is this guy?" Jörmungundr asked, "that is Professor Paradox, he's a time traveler and has been known to move through other universes to" the teen alien answered.

"Correct as always young Tennyson, but this happens to be more of a friendly greeting" he added. "I have come here to inform Ben that he isn't the only Ben out in the multiverse" he said. "Uh Paradox, of course I'm not, there are other universes out there with their own Bens" he said, "that's not what I'm talking about. Remember that device that sent you here?" Paradox asked.

Ben nodded "well it just so happens that it also split you into separate parts and regenerated you all into full Ben's" the time traveler explained. The teen hero'e eyes widened, "so your saying I'm not the only Ben like me?" He asked.

"Both yes and no, you see in the multiverse each Ben like you is a full Ben. Meaning an original himself, so that means your an original Ben as well" paradox explained. "Well at least I'm not some copy cat, that's a good thing" Ben said, "not to mention in a few universes the Ben's like you have gained their own kind of unique ability in the duration they've lived there" Professor Paradox said.

"Such as that transformation you did from within Yurlungur" he added, "oh yeah, I guess you're right" Ben said. "Well anyway I have to go, but before I do you may want this" he said giving Ben the Nemetrix to which it zapped him. The teen put the Omnitrix rip off inside his null space projector, think of the null void projector only for closet space.

"And what was that for?" Ben asked, then noticed the Omnitrix glowing red, "just a new form your brother's have gained. see you later, or should I have said, saw you earlier" the time traveler then disappeared. "Man Ben knows some pretty strange people" Syrup commented before a bright Ruby red light flashed. Signifying Ben had transformed, but this time it was something different.

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 had roared in his new form, "so this was the transformation Paradox was talking about" Ben said. "Wow it looks so cool, and so fierce" Jörmungundr said, "as expected with the universe's predators" the alien said.

A few minutes later the men left to go work in the coal mines, Ben stayed at the village to train in his new form while Jörm and her sisters finished up chores. Little to say they were all impressed with the new and unique abilities Ben's predator form had.

Syrup was even more impressed at how adept he was at using them despite being his first time using them. "Wow your powers are so cool" Jörm's little sisters said.

"Thanks" Ben replied shooting terroranchula energy webs in the air, "I'm more surprised at the fact that you can use them" Syrup commented. "You know despite just getting them" she added, "well this isn't the first time I've gotten new powers" he said.

Then they all heard a loud crash, Ben and Jörmungundr ran towards the source. The former on all fours due to his new body being quadruped.

Once they got their Jörm's eyes widened, it was the coal mine. "Oh no, what happened" she said, "Jörm!" Her three sisters cried as they approached the mine. "Girls stay here, me and your big sister will go in" Ben instructed, they all looked at him worriedly.

The two then ran in, "looks like a cave in, not a problem for armadrillo" Ben said about to reach the Omnitrix. But remembered that Armadrillo's has a predator to, "actually maybe slam worm can do the job" he said morphing Predator's body to match the giant annelid.

"INCOMING!!!" Ben yelled as the giant worm like reptile started tunneling through the cave. "Wow, that's some power" Jörmungundr said as she tried to catch up with Ben.

They finally breached a more open area of the mine, "they must be deeper in the mine" he said. Then all of a sudden a fast moving object was swung near him and hit the other blocked tunnel which destroyed a lot of the rocks blocking it.

Ben turned back and saw that Jörm threw her ax, "come on we can't stop now" she said pulling her ax out f the rock. Then she started glowing, next thing Ben new she did the same transformation thing as Leviathan.

Except she had green armor on, two small horns on her head, and a green dragon tail. "HRRAAAAAHHH!!!!" She yelled trying to get through the tunnels, "wow you are strong" Ben said, before snapping out of it and turned his arms into diamond tipped Armadrillo drills.

"Talk about digging deep" he said before drilling the rocks, a few hours they had gotten through to another open area. But the others still weren't there, "wow they must've gone way deep" Ben commented, when Jörmungundr ran out of steam and reverted back.

"Easy now" Ben said, then the two heard familiar voices, looking back they saw Leviathan and Bahumut along with syrup enter the cave. "Guys, Syrup told us, have you reached them yet?" Leviathan asked.

"Sorry no, they're in to deep and I can't keep digging, plus Jörmungunr ran out of steam" Ben said. "Well maybe I can be of assistance" a voice said, a voice Ben knew all to well.

"Hello there Tennyson, so good to see you again along with the Omnitrix" he looked into the rock pile to see his old slimbiote pal Skurd. "Skurd? You're here too?" Ben said as the parasite jumped down, "yes and not just me" he pointed to two other slimbiotes that were with him.

"Meet splotch and streaks, two other members of my kind" he said, "greetings" one with Red splotches greeted enthusiastically. "Hello" another with dark yellow streaks said shyly. "Hey, also what're you doing here?" Ben asked, "oh you see I also came back to earth for a visit only to see it as a distopian horror story" Skurd said.

"Paradox found me, along with your formerly deceased family" he said, Ben's eyes widened. "Did you say, formerly deceased?" He asked the DNA parasite. "Yes indeed; the time walker brought them back to life and like you multiplied and spread them throughout the multiverse" Skurd replied.

"We were actually in there when the tunnels collapsed, we need to hurry or they'll be trapped good" he added. "Ben is that the slime thing you told us about!" Leviathan asked, "yeah that's him, come on there must be some way to get through this" Ben said.

"Ahem, ectonurite" Skurd said, "besides literally passing through it" the shapeshifter added. "Maybe we can be of assistance, I'm already aware of your powers with Omni, but who's to say his power can't affect us" Skurd said. Ben got an idea and hit Skurd with an Omnitrix patch straight to the head.

The result was that "oh yes, I'm back" he said, "but I still need a host to attach to be of more use" the slimbiote said. "What do you mean a host?" Jörmungundr asked, "why this young lady" the parasite said attaching itself to Leviathan.

"Skurd!!!" Ben yelled when the parasite slimed part of himself on Leviathan's arm and covered it in slime completely. "Hey what're you doing!?" She yelped in surprise, "now what do you say to a little wash down" Skurd said turning the slime into a Water Hazard Water Cannon.

"What is this? My arm looks like one of Ben's arm transformations" Leviathan had observed her new arm. "Yeah Skurd can do that, he's able to take DNA from a host and replicate it. When he attached to the Omnitrix he managed to give me some pretty sweet weapons" Ben explained.

Then turned his arm into the Heat Blast mace arm, "my my, your powers have been getting stronger Tennyson" Skurd said. Streaks then approached Jörmungundr, "pardon me ma'am, but may I attach to you?" She asked. "Huh sure" she said, then the shyer parasite jumped on her, "hey Ben, I think Streaks needs something" Jörm said when Ben launched Omnitrix patches at Streaks and Splotch.

The slimbiote then formed around Jörmungundr's arms and transformed into Armadrillo's drill arms. "Woah these are awesome!!!" Jörm said rushing to the blocked tunnel and started drilling. "Well looks like I'm with you" Splotch said jumping on Bahumut, formed around her hands and created two Heat Blast flaming spiked spear tips.

"WHAT THE HECK!? WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH THESE!!!" Bahumut yelled. Splotch sat on her shoulder and pointed to the tunnel "what do you think, Blaze and slash" he instructed. "Blaze and slash?" She looked at her hands quizzically, then rushed to the rocks and slashed, the rock started to break apart and melt down into lava. "Woah, this is...
Helpful" she said smirking, then continued to penetrate the wall.

"But what does this do?" Leviathan asked shaking her new Cannon arm, "ah the Orshian, a species from the andromeda galaxy, Ben's form
Which he named water hazard can blast powerful torrents of water" Skurd explained.

"Water?!... hmm" she pointed her cannon towards the tunnel, "girls move out of the way" she yelled before blasting water towards the rocks eroding them away. "Wow so powerful" Leviathan said amazed, "seems like you and your friends have connected to Jörmungundr, Bahumut and Leviathan's elemental affinities" Ben said.

Then turned his arms into Diamond tipped Armadrillo drill arms, and started digging again. Leviathan then aimed another water blast at the tunnel, except this time she used her magic to manipulate the water by making the end form into the shape of a spinning drill.

"Come on, please tell me you have something better than these" Bahumut said seeing as her spear hands weren't doing much. "Op I have an idea" Blotch said turning the spears into flaming barbed spikes. "This'll do" Bahumut said throwing one spike into the wall and it some how vibrated like Jörmungundr's new drill arms.

This went on for a while, Sytup had went ahead of them, then they started hearing voices. "Papa, is that you!?" Jörm yelled, "Jörm, is that you? Oh thank the gods, were down here" the older man Travis said.

"Ben, is that you over there?" A familiar voice said, "Gwen? Is that you?" Ben called out, "no it's your mom, what do you think Tennyson of course it's Gwen".

"Hi sweetie", Ben recognized Kevin's and his mother's voices, "don't worry we're coming" he called out, then all of a sudden Syrup flew out of the rock screaming while carrying a small jewel. "Oh good that trip is gone" she said relieved, Ben then reached for the jewel only for Leviathan to accidentally drop it when she leaned in to observe.

"Oops sorry!!" She apologized, then what happened next was little said amazing. A wall of light appeared and out of it came Yurlungur, "what the!? What's Yurlungur doing here!? Hey wait!!!" Ben said as the dragon flew right through the tunnel digging everything out and caught everyone in the cave.

Later on he emerged letting everyone out of him, and after everyone was out he spat out another trip thing. Like those beetle things from before only this one looked more like a wasp.

"Man that was close" one of the miners said, Ben in the mean time had been hugging his parents, cousin, and grandfather. "Easy sport, don't want to strangle us now" Max said before he let them down. "Sorry just glad you're alive again" Ben said, "'sup Tennyson? Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm glad to see you again" Kevin said.

"Indeed, and may I add that the trip thing that was chasing that tiny girl was rather annoying" Rook said rubbing an area on his head. Presumably where the Trip hit him, "so Ben, this your family?" Leviathan asked.

"Well there's my Grandpa max, Parents, and my cousin Gwen" Ben said. "Then there are my friends Kevin, his dog Zed, Rook, and a few people I used to work with, Magister Pateliday, the uh fish man, Blukic and Driba. The small frog things, then there's my superfan Jimmy" he added.

"Well it's good to meet you all, I welcome you to aquafall" Leviathan said bowing to the dwellers from Ben's world. "Thank you young lady" Saundra said, while Carl was sticking his tongue out "sorry, I still have the taste of death in my mouth" he said.

"Why not wash it out with a party, to celebrate Ben getting his family back and for just surviving death" Travis said.

That night everyone had been at Jörm's village, it had also been revealed that she was originally an orphan. "Wait seriously?" Ben asked, Jörm nodded, "yup, all these guys took me in and raised me together" she said. "So they're all my papas", "well that's a nice thing, a community coming together to take care of a little orphan" Max said.

"And I think introductions are in order" Jörmungundr said, "okay then I'm Meadow!" One of her little sisters introduced, "I'm Frudra" "and I'm Fragon".

"Great to meet you guys, please be good to our sister Jörm" they all said. "Of you haven't noticed Travis and the others adore Jörm and they call her their little treasure" Sedo said.

"That's why I want to do something for them in return, and not just for my Papas but for everyone I can" Jörmungundr said. "That's great, so that means you'll join the aqua fall defense force right?" Syrup asked.

"Huh? Sure if you really want me to Syuroopy" Jörm said, which irritated Syrup. "Let me guess your nickname?" Ben asked the fairy "HECK NO!!!" She retorted. "Take care of my daughter now Syroopy" Travis said.

"Hey don't forget about us you know!" Skurd yelped still attached to Leviathan's shoulder. "Huh oh yeah", "are you three gonna leave or keep sticking to us!?" Bahumut asked. "Considering young Benjamin has no need for us anymore, I think we'll make good bonding partners" Skurd said.

"I'm fine with it, besides Streaks is very nice" Jörmungundr said tickling her new Slimebiote friend. "Thanks..." Streaks said, "well I guess" Leviathan said, "I think it's a great idea" a voice said. Which was revealed to be Bahumut's father, "daddy what are you doing here?" She asked.

"I heard that you, Ben and Leviathan were here to help with a collapse in the coal mines. I came to see if you were okay, and judging by this party I say you all did great" he said. "And Ben had also told me about those Slimebiotes can do. So I think it'd be best if he trained you to use them in order for you to get stronger" he added.

"I'm a protector and a mentor now? Awesome" Ben commented. Bahumut pouted, then faced Splotch, "okay let's get this straight, I'm in charge got it?" She said. "Loud and clear mistress!" Splotch said saluting, "also Benjamin, unlike me those two aren't as impressive in personality" Skurd said.

"So in other words they're nicer easy to handle and have a lesser temperment" Ben said making an irk Mark appear on the older Slimebiote's head.
