CTHULHU_YOGSOTHOTH

When Ben Tennyson discovers the Omnitrix during a summer road trip with his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max, he thinks he’s about to have the best vacation ever. But things take a strange turn when they stumble upon a second crashed pod—and inside it, an unconscious boy with no memories.

The boy, who later remembers his name as Alex, carries a mysterious watch of his own—one that’s different from the Omnitrix, yet somehow just as powerful. Unlike Ben’s device, Alex’s watch allows him to scan aliens and transform into their natural predators. But the origins of his watch are unknown, and the feeling that something is wrong with his presence in this world lingers.

As Ben and Alex struggle to uncover the truth, they quickly realize that the universe isn’t as stable as it should be. Familiar faces and strange forces begin appearing—heroes and villains that don’t belong in Ben’s world. When the Powerpuff Girls make an unexpected entrance to battle an alien invasion, it becomes clear that something—or someone—has started pulling different realities together.

With Vilgax closing in, a warship on its way to Earth, and the fabric of reality itself at risk, Ben and Alex must join forces with unexpected allies from across dimensions. But as Alex’s memories slowly return, one question haunts him:

Why does it feel like he was never supposed to exist here in the first place?

Ben 10: Omniversal Collision

The summer road trip was supposed to be boring. At least, that's what Ben Tennyson thought.

Sitting in the Rustbucket, he sighed loudly for the tenth time in the last hour. "Gramps, come on! We've been driving forever!"

"Quit whining, doofus," Gwen Tennyson shot back, barely looking up from her book.

Grandpa Max chuckled. "This summer is about adventure, not just fast food and video games, Ben."

Before Ben could protest, the sky suddenly lit up with a streak of green light, cutting through the night like a shooting star. But instead of fading, it grew brighter, roaring as it crashed down into the forest nearby.

Ben's eyes widened. "Did you see that?!"

"Probably just space junk," Gwen said, unimpressed.

"Only one way to find out," Grandpa Max said, already steering the Rustbucket off the road toward the crash site.

The crater was still smoking when they arrived. In the center sat a strange metallic pod, glowing faintly green, its surface cracked from impact.

Ben grinned. "Okay, that is definitely not space junk."

Grandpa Max narrowed his eyes. "Stay back, both of you. We don't know if it's dangerous."

But Ben was already moving forward, curiosity outweighing caution. As he got closer, the pod suddenly hissed open, revealing a strange black and green device—almost like a watch.

Before anyone could react, the device launched onto Ben's wrist, locking into place.

Ben yelped. "AHH! What the heck?!"

He frantically tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't budge.

Gwen smirked. "Nice job, genius. You broke it."

Grandpa Max stepped closer. "That… looks alien."

But before they could focus on the watch, Ben noticed something else—or rather, someone.

A second pod was half-buried beneath the first. Unlike the first one, this pod's door was already slightly open. Inside, a boy lay unconscious.

Ben's breath caught. "Uh… guys?"

Gwen gasped. "Is that a… person?"

Grandpa Max quickly moved forward, checking the boy. He looked about Ben's age, with dark hair and slightly tattered clothes. His breathing was steady, but his body was limp, clearly knocked out from the crash.

"He's alive," Grandpa Max confirmed, lifting the boy carefully. "But we need to get him somewhere safe."

"Are we seriously taking him with us?" Gwen asked, eyebrows raised.

Grandpa Max gave her a look. "We're not leaving him out here."

Ben stared at the kid, feeling a mix of excitement and worry. First an alien watch, and now a mystery boy falling from the sky?

This summer just got way more interesting.

Back at the Rustbucket, the boy was still unconscious, resting on the small couch inside. Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa Max sat around, watching him like he might explode at any moment.

"You think he's an alien?" Ben asked.

"He looks human," Gwen said. "But we don't know for sure."

Grandpa Max frowned. "Whatever he is, we need to be careful. If that pod was alien tech, then he might be connected to it."

Suddenly, the boy stirred. His fingers twitched, then his breathing grew sharper. With a low groan, his eyes slowly blinked open—striking blue, filled with confusion.

Ben leaned forward. "Uh… hey? You okay?"

The boy blinked at him, then looked around, eyes unfocused. He tried to sit up but immediately winced, holding his head.

"Take it easy," Grandpa Max said. "You were in some kind of crash."

The boy's brows furrowed. He opened his mouth… then hesitated, as if trying to grasp onto something just out of reach.

Finally, in a quiet voice, he muttered, "I… don't remember."

"You don't remember anything?" Gwen asked, skeptical.

The boy shook his head slightly. "I… I think my name is…" He paused, then let out a breath. "Alex. That's all I remember."

Ben stared at him, then turned to Grandpa Max. "Okay, this is officially the weirdest day of my life."
