Chapter 2: the journey begins, to the white dragon village
About now Ben is outside Yun and Iksu's hut, just yesterday the oracle had told them all that Yona was to find the four dragon warriors. A little explanation is in order is it not? Great now I sound like Professor Paradox. Anyway, in this world long ago, this Kingdom's first sovereign was a crimson dragon god,
He came down from the heavens to rule, and he had loved the people for they are the ones who taught him to truly feel. However they had turned on him and had sworn to kill him. Forgetting how to love, then when he was about to meet his end the heavens opened up and four dragons came down to save their brother.
But the crimson dragon had refused, he loved the humans too much, and the dragons respected his wishes. But not without swearing to watch over him, in order to do so they gave their blood to four loyal human warriors to protect their king.
Granting each of them one of their powers, the white dragon warrior had claws that can destroy any earthly material. The blue one had eyes that can see past great distances and even in the dark. Another which was green had a leg that could allow him to jump to the heavens and the last one, yellow, had an impenetrable body.
Yona was considered to be the possible descendent to the crimson dragon king, and with that she was to find the Four warriors an save the kingdom once more. after hearing this Ben had approached the fallen princess swearing that he would help her in her journey.
Because he had lost his family the same way she lost her father he wanted to help her regain her throne and bring peace to this kingdom. After all, he was now the Ben 10 of this world, doing what is right and guarding the residents from harm and mistreatment.
"I can understand why he'd be mad, but I don't think throwing a tantrum was a very mature move" he said while eating some kind of bun. A little while ago, Yun had a little argument with Iksu about the oracle asking Yona, Hak and himself to have Yun join them. He wanted the boy to see the world and have new experiences.
"I hear that" a voice said, Ben looked to his left seeing the man with the spear from yesterday. His name was Hak and apparently he was Yona's bodyguard as well as fiancé. Let's just say when Ben mentioned it to Yona she chased him around for an hour. Princesses can be scary when they want to be.
And the princess hadn't agreed to the engagement and well... she threw tea cups and furniture at Hak. "I don't think you have any room to talk either mr. I like to tease people for fun. Pretty immature to me" Ben replied tossing the last of it in his mouth.
Once the boy had gotten back he agreed to come with them, and also agreed to make Ben some new clothes. As to why, new world, different clothing, the shapeshifter would stick out like a sore thumb. And thankfully the new attire Yun provided for Ben had been to his liking and style.
(A/N: if anyone out there is good at designing clothing, mind coming up with a design for Ben's clothes in this world? I may be good at drawing monsters and unique characters but a guy or girl and his or her limits).
"Oh yeah, ever acted mature mr hero of the universe?" Hak taunted, "admittedly yes, but one thing about being mature own up to your mistakes" the teen hero replied then stretched. Yona had walked over to them "so does anyone know how to get to the dragons again?" She asked.
"Iksu will know, he said he has a map to the white dragon's village" Ben explained. Earlier him and the oracle were talking about how they were going to get there. Blondey had told them that one of the dragons had made a village next to the fire empire or kai empire.
Kinda ironic and hard since they were the enemy, but Ben has been in tougher situations. One involving charmcaster's spells and a beauty pageant but let's not talk about that.
Yun the walked out in his traveling attire, Ben had to admit one thing, he looked kinda cute like a girl. He even sees Yun as a younger sister... er brother! Yeah brother he he, (A/N: just for the record Not Yaoi, not against it just not my thing okay).
And Yun the same way, funny fact about the multiverse Ben's when they share their memories with people native to that dimension they occasionally see them as a sort of sibling. Like in my Fairy 10 book since Lucy was the first one Ben met he sees her as kind of a sister.
Same with Yun since he shared his memories with him first as well. He even started calling him big brother a while back. "Well I'll be off" the boy said to the oracle. "Alright then, are you going to be okay?" Iksu asked Yun. "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" He retorted "come on, he's just worried is all" Ben said.
"Hey Yun what's with that bag you've got?" Yona asked, "if its books leave 'me they'll be too heavy to carry" Hak said. Ben had heard him and smacked him upside the head, "that's rude" he said, Hak attempted to smack him back only to meet a painful chemical burn. "Gotta love Goop's acid" Ben smirked at his success.
"Anyway it's not books" Yun said bringing out a large sac from his bag, "it's a bag that we can use to put the princess in when we see Soo-won's soldiers patrolling" he said. "Don't know if I like that".
A little while late they had all left, Ben had been ready to start the journey to save a kingdom.
Time skip: the group had encountered a local traveler who had done business with Yun. He gave him some rice in exchange for medicine, "long time no see kid, I've been desperate for your medicine" he said giving Yun the rice. "I'll trade you for some rice if you got it" Yun said, "I've never seen you travel with friends before you're usually alone. So who's the big guy with the stick and the one with the glowing green eyes?" He asked.
"Well uh" Yun responded when Ben and Hak did it for him. "Just a traveler ok route for the boarder on a delivery, nice to meet you sir" Hak said. He was wearing a hat to block his face, "and I'm Yun's new big brother" Ben said.
"Oh well, take good care of him" the man said before leaving, as to why he didn't ask about Yona. They really had used the sac to hide her in, and as of predictable Ben had argued against it but reaction was the winner.
Now they had taken the princess out of the bag and let her walk, "princess, princess, what're you so mad about?" Hak asked. "Maybe the indignity of being called a bag of dirty laundry" Ben replied, "look I had to handle her roughly so it'd be believable, and I even warned you before hand" the ex general said.
"Okay I'm sorry I took advantage of the situation and grabbed your butt" Hak said as if he wasn't sorry at all. "Dude seriously get some class" Ben said, "you're gonna pay for that" Yona said grimly then chased Hal up a tree.
"How dare you! That was the scariest thing I've ever been through I didn't need you to make it worse by man handling me" She yelled. Ben put a hand on her shoulder and admonished her to stop "it's fine Yona it isn't worth it" he said. She backed down, "besides why'd you wanna kick his butt, I mean all he is is a Pervy soldier right" he taunted Hak.
"Oh yeah at least I ain't a stinking monster" the soldier retorted but was hit in the head by some goo. "Ew what is this!? GAH!?" And after that got hit by a diamond slab. "That was from both of us" Ben said, "man I thought that guy was on to us for sure my heart was pounding the whole time" Yun said.
"You were and amazing actor though little brother" Ben said, "(sigh) okay listen up you guys" he ordered.
"Princes flame head of the morning"
"Ex general wilder beast"
Hak: "That's Lightning beast".
"Big brother alien hero"
"Present" Ben said easing his hand.
"And I'm a beautiful genius, we gotta lay low because the Four of us stick out" Yun said. "Can't get any lower than this" Ben said becoming invisible, "cool but stay focused please, we're nearing fire clan territory, and the royal capital so heads up" Yun said. "You know what happens when we're caught don't you?".
The three responded with "yeah", "and thanks to the oracle we know the dragon warriors live in extremely remote locations" Hak said. "Which he gladly gave us a map to" Ben said holding it, "now Yun" he said turning into Omni shrinking down and jumping on his shoulder.
"I am going to decipher this for a while, so I'll be guiding you through the land scape" The alien elaborated. "And how do you know the land?" Hak asked, "he's kinda right on that aren't you from another universe or something?" Yona asked.
Omni smirked "that may be true but never doubt the powers of an alien" he said then released a small energy burst. Then it headed back for him, "got it, okay everyone" he said jumping off, "fallow me".
"First we'll need to restock on supplies so we'll be heading to a nearby town" Ben said. Yun then went on about how excited he was to see the world, then Hak teased him about it again.
The young boy had chased him around until Ben smacked Hak with Diamond Head's arm. "Get your act together" he said as they kept walking, "some ones coming" the spear holder said. Yun was about to take the bag out when Yona put down her cloak. she walk passes the passer by and nothing happened, once they were out of range she took her cloak off.
"It's fine, your injuries haven't finished healing, and I don't feel like
You need to carry me all the time Hak" Yona said. "Anyway, I want to see the kingdom, I've been sheltered my whole life".
Hak thought for a while "fine have it your way, but don't forget about what Yun said about this area, it may look safe but we have to stay on guard" he said. Only to see that his three traveling companions had vanished, Ben had tagged along with Yun and Yona to see what they were up to.
The two had found a water wheel, Ben then looked around and saw some people pulling some plants out of the ground. 'Must be a farm or something' he said walking down, "hey there" he greeted. If you're gonna live in this world it's a good idea to make a friendly first impression.
"Oh hello, haven't seen you around these parts" a woman said with her husband and kid close by. "Just a traveler seeking something new, I noticed you're having something trouble with your harvest, mind if I give a hand" Ben asked.
"Well if it's not to much trouble" the man said, Ben had already grabbed a few, "just for the record I may work fast so don't be surprised" he said. After a few minutes he got enough for them to live off of for two whole months. "Again thank you" they said, as thanks for Ben's help they have him some food "it's no problem" he said.
He had headed back to his group, "how did you get that?" Yun asked, "just being nice" Ben said as they walked further.
As of right now they're in a restaurant, Yun and confirmed they had most of what they needed. Ben had gone out to get some extra supplies, luckily diamond head was more than happy to lend a helping crystal. And little to say these babies were enough to buy an entire load of fine cloth. He had some ideas to consult with Yun, "and that's about it, now I just need to hurry back to..." he stopped when he saw the soldiers.
He got out of sight and turned into Omni, ten shrunk down and turned invisible. "Losers" the alien said as he ran past them and bumped into Yun, "there you guys are I think it's best we hurry" Ben advised.
Later on they were walking through the woods again, Yona had asked Hak to teach her how to defend herself. And he refused but had allowed her to have a bow and arrow. "At least you've got something, here I'll show you how to shoot" Ben said.
A few hours later she tried to hit a bird and managed to get it in the wing. "I can aim but I can't exactly hit it" she said, "don't worry you'll get the hang of it, one time I accidentally launched a diamond shard towards a valley and there was flammable gas underneath and the whole place exploded" Ben said.
"How'd that happen?" Yun asked, "its Better you don't know, even I want to forget" Ben advised.
The next day Yun woke up to find his new brother sitting on top of a tree watching Yona. She had been practicing shooting her arrows, and three of them made successful hits. 'She's gotten better' the boy thought, 'like life itself Yun' Ben said telepathically. "Life grows and becomes stronger and better every chance it gets" he said.
Later on they had walked into a foggy mountain top. "I think we're close by" Ben said, he was cute I Omni and was using Wild Mutt's sense of smell. "Really? My goodness this fog is thick" Yona said, "its to be expected, I mean the oracle did say that the white dragon clan did like their solitude" Ben said.
"Are we any closer?" Hak asked, "almost..." he said before a voice screamed. Specifically the voice belonged to Yun, "Yun, Yun are you okay?" Ben asked concerned. He sniffed around to find his cloak and bag in the ground.
"No who did this!?" Ben said then sniffed the air, Yona and Hak appeared just behind him. "Ben what's wrong, where's Yun?" She asked him, Hak then pulled Yona close then swung his spear causing the fog to disappear.
Once the blind was removed, there were many men around them with white hair. "Who are you and what are you doing here!?" The leader yelled, "hey the one with the spear just blew away our fog" one of the soldiers said.
Ben had grew large "okay you little punks, tell us what you did with Yun or prepare to er squashed" he said. "Just what is he?" Another man asked, then the leader had his eyes fixed on Yona's hair and Ben's Omnitrix.
"Let them in, the king had returned and the savior is upon us" he said.
