Chapter 230: Ben 10 (2)
~Mash B. POV~
[Bellwood, Mr. Smoothy, Earth]
Gazing around the field my eyes saw Rook turning his back to me while I managed to analyze the situation with everyone's attention towards Eon instead.
This is something Professor Paradox hasn't figured out yet because of what's to come of this. No, I remember in the show he was even uncertain of it happening of him winning or losing but he admitted this fact truthfully because if there is one thing Paradox is his no liar.
Eon proved that fact. But he can misdirect his words but for now, focus on the situation at hand.
*Swooosh*
Sending my [Unseen Hand] I began to 'share' what Professor Paradox knew. And know my way around the Ben 10 or Prime Timeline using [Gluttony] devouring what he knew and by god he knew a fucking lot.
But my eyes at Gwen trying to use the spell called Combibo Potentia to free Professor Paradox. Not gonna happen. Nope! No siree!
With the chaotic forces of time and space around I began to wave my hand slightly. I misdirect Gwen's spell messing with it as her eyes shot in surprise as it fritz conducting the spell.
She began harder to free Professor Paradox. That should be enough time, but he'll eventually be free via magic power. I waited for the chance when the two bens attacked Eon but soon shook it off with a powerful temporal energy on him and broke through creating a shockwave.
*BOOOM*
Feeling the shockwave passed by I pretended to be injured to not alert the heroes and villains of the story. Standing up to see both Arctiguana and Wildvine are knocked down reverting into Ben.
He soon asks Paradox whether he has a plan after Max arrives at the scene. Oh, fuck the scene of this episode is about to end.
Listening to Professor Paradox's words while Rook was too busy with his servants. I kept my eyes on the prize as the professor said in a serious tone, "You must anchor Eon to your respective time zones. I would suggest Clockwork."
Managing to stand up into a running position ignoring the part of the conversation, I knew I had to get the Chrono Navigator would be my last chance. Readying myself and steeling my resolve I will make sure I get the last laugh.
I need to act up when Ben attacks Eon using the flash of light in that moment to jump into the past. I remember the Chrono Navigator falling into the past I need to get it before it goes into the past.
Once young Ben doubts the fact that Paradox's plan would work, prompting Paradox to say that it is better than the Omnitrixes not being able to synchronize.
*BEEP*
Seeing in a flash of green light Ben and Young Ben transform into Clockwork at the same time, and they blast Eon from both points in time. Eon of course screamed in pain from the tag team beam attack.
"AHHH!!"
NOW!
With Clockworks busy killing off Eon I saw a green light coming inside his mouth and eyes roaring out in pain about to explode. I used that moment to teleport myself using [Delete Space] instantly teleporting.
*SHIII*
Ignoring everyone I teleported towards the exploding Eon hoping to grab the Chrono Navigator while I managed to grab something cold and metallic. What felt like a glove holding – whoa.
[Ding!]
[Due to contact with the Chrono Navigator your head is filled with a timeline of events!]
When I contacted the Chrono Navigator, I soon viewed the entire timelines and realities before me, but I already knew what timeline to go to in this reality of Ben Prime. My eyes soon landed on the young Ben 10 with his eyes in disbelief at what was going on and what was going to happen next would surely leave him shocked.
Recalling Eon only needed his thoughts to activate it and Paradox needing only to mentally displace it I would just need to think which point at time I would need to go. Staying any longer would lead me to bigger pains than gains. Think what – wait… yes.
*Sheeee*
Using the Chrono Navigator I began to use it to tear open a portal of time traveling back to that certain point in that certain time to get ready for the items needed and speed run the hell out of it.
Wish I had the time but for now, I need to hurry.
*Shiii*
Tearing open to the past to that event I see that the Ben's in their Clockwork form tried to manipulate time only for Professor Paradox to cancel it as he spoke in a serious tone, "No Ben Tennysons! Manipulating time during this point where timelines are correcting itself will leave dire consequences!"
Falling straight in I managed to catch a glimpse of them stopping in their tracks with me dropping inside to my next goal. No doubt Ben would try to follow me after all with Paradox stuck on the edge of time or simply jump to the past or present it will take him some time before he completes another Chrono Navigator or no time at all.
And with Ben as Clockwork I have no doubt he could travel in time to come after me once Paradox explains the situation for him to either A come after me or B wait till, I finish my goals which could be bad.
Paradox is a time walker after all, but I would rather hurry it all up before he has a chance to respond or not. But still, what I need is just a little bit of time to get a set that will at least guarantee me a few more minutes or seconds before I get rid of the Chrono Navigator.
I don't want an Alienxtincetion of Alien X coming after me no thank you. And a good thing Ben can't jump in time here to that point unless he wants to collapse his reality with how unstable Eon made in this time.
Sigh, but still that means this universe is now open season and I need to speed-run it. Time to get busy.

[New Orleans, Earth]
*Shiii*
Exiting out from the tear of time and space I couldn't help but mutter out loud, "Fucking hell…"
Jumping out to a nearby city area in the distance gazing around to find myself somewhere else entirely holding the Chrono Navigator in my hand. Immediately I began to use [Trace] on the item like Shirou did in Fate as I checked out its capabilities. [TOOS].
----
Item: Chrono Navigator
Rarity Item: SSS
Type: Space-Time Travel Device
Description: Taking the form of a metal gauntlet the Chrono Navigator is an extremely powerful technology that allows its user to travel through space and time. Its only known owner has been Professor Paradox, who uses it to transport himself throughout the multiverse. Simply put, the Chrono navigator can transport its user to any point in space-time without them getting lost.
Paradox once rationalized it to a chrono-mental displaced Ben as "a GPS for the multiverse". This power enables access to not just any point in the Prime Timeline, but to all alternate timelines and parallel dimensions. Through misuse or the desire of the user, the Chrono navigator can cause irreparable damage to the time-stream, destroying existence itself.
----
Yeah, that's what I expect from this damn thing. But taking a quick look around I see… I'm in New Orleans wait what's the time?!
Looking into the city I soon view a paid newspaper screen inside reading to myself what it said in an excited tone, "Latest news aliens have been here and are protecting humans? Date **/**/**? Perfect. I'm just in time… Haha… Hahaha! MWAHAHAHA – "
As I was cackling in an excited tone I abruptly stopped as a random passerby spoke in an annoyed tone at me, "Hey shut it, you idiot!"
Seeing I was laughing like an idiot I quickly apologized. Might've gotten a bit ahead of myself there but no matter. I couldn't believe I managed to pull that off and in front of the heroes of the Ben 10 world as well!
Whew… No, I need to get busy.
Mentally calming myself down I viewed the newspaper at the scene of a forest fire happening in the shot. I smirked while I managed to come to this point and time of the Ben Prime timeline as this was very important for me to come to this point.
A point in time where I can rest up before speed-running the items. Putting away the Chrono Navigator into my [GoB] I began to wait to catch my breath of the recent events with adrenaline pumping through me.
New Orleans is a Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico. Nicknamed the "Big Easy," it's known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live music scene, and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African, and American cultures.
Embodying its festive spirit is Mardi Gras, the late-winter carnival famed for raucous costumed parades and street parties. But also, a great starting point for collecting the Charms of Bezel in the process to speed run my advantage before the heroes arrive.
No matter what happens I will be the one to come out on top – aw shit…
*Beep*
Hearing a call from Ryuko through my REVOCS bracelet I tapped it seeing a very angry Gear Eyes, neutral Yui, and Eyebrows raising an eyebrow as I responded in a nervous tone, "Ah…. Hello Gear Eyes, Eyebrows, and Yui… what's made you call on this delightful day?"
Ryuko bluntly responded with her eyes twitching as she asked in a serious tone glaring intently at me, "… Oh nothing much but you suddenly going off on your own again… You could've asked or waited for me to come along?"
Rubbing the back of my head listening to her words I responded in a sheepish tone about why I had to leave immediately, "Ah right… Sorry but BB finally found this worldline finding the specific events occurring using the Second Magic. I was on a time crunch, and it was a world where I can't have you here for?"
Satsuki asked in a curious tone with her arms crossed wanting an explanation from me with a leveled glare at me, "Is that so? What makes this world unique that you won't have my sister's assistance in this endeavor? You better have a good explanation my love or else you might be sleeping on the couch when you return…"
*Shiver*
Damn it Eyebrows… but I exclaimed to them as I walked around New Orleans explaining why Ryuko or anyone is allowed to follow me this time around. Especially since Ben can scan them to get a new transformation.
The only reason it didn't work on Shinra-Koketsu is that after spending a large amount of time devouring my blood, she gained some magical properties making the Omnitrix useless to scan. After all, one of its weaknesses is Magic Interference.
After explaining to them they calmed down listening to the news with a heavy sigh Ryuko said in an annoyed tone, "Sigh… fine. You get away this time mister but next time you owe me an adventure."
I chuckled lightly as I said my last words making them pause considering my words in an excited tone, "Sure… but only after you meet my folks first. If it works, then you gals meeting my parents would be a dream come true no?"
*Beep*
Ending the call letting them worry of seeing my folks I had to be focused with the task at hand. After getting the charms I'm off to fight a snot-nose brat for his Omnitrix effectively cutting off any Ben's attacking me. It's do-or-die time.
