Ben 10: The Hero's Path

The void of space lit up with fiery bolts as the larger brown warship bore down on its prey, a sleek teal vessel darting through the chaos. The hulking monstrosity of a ship, bristling with weaponry, unleashed another barrage, rocking the smaller craft. On the bridge of the brown ship, Captain Vilgax loomed over his crew, his deep, guttural voice echoing through the chamber.

"No being in the galaxy shall deny me my prize," he snarled, his red eyes fixed on the flickering image of the smaller ship's cargo manifest. "That power will be mine, and nothing—nothing—will stand in my way."

Inside the teal ship, alarms blared as the pilot, sweat beading on her brow, maneuvered through a storm of plasma bolts. The cargo hold pulsed faintly, its contents shrouded in secrecy, yet emanating a power that even the pilot couldn't fully comprehend. She gritted her teeth, whispering, "Vilgax you bastard, you're not getting this—no matter what."

The battle raged on, with fate and galactic destiny hanging by the thinnest thread.

----------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile On Earth

On the last day of school before summer break, Ben Tennyson sat at his desk in Bellwood Elementary, tapping his foot impatiently as the minutes dragged on. He couldn't wait to leave the classroom and dive into the long-awaited freedom of summer. His mischievous side couldn't resist causing a little chaos before the bell rang. With a sly grin, Ben crumpled up a piece of paper, expertly folding it into a plane. With a flick of his wrist, he sent it soaring across the room, and it landed squarely on his teacher's head. Laughter erupted from his classmates, but Ben's playful grin quickly turned to an innocent expression as the teacher shot him a warning look. The class might have been over, but his antics had just begun.

As Ben filed out of the classroom, eager for his summer adventure, he spotted Cash and JT in the schoolyard. The two bullies were tormenting a younger, smaller kid, pushing him around and laughing cruelly. Ben's heart raced; something about seeing the helpless kid made him feel like he had to act. The self-proclaimed hero in him couldn't just stand by. He puffed out his chest, marched up to the bullies, and threw out a challenge, "Hey! Leave him alone!" Cash and JT turned to him with wicked grins, clearly not impressed. Ben was no stranger to their antics, but he didn't back down. Unfortunately, his attempt to play the hero quickly spiraled out of control.

Within moments, the tables turned. Cash and JT seized Ben and the kid, dragging them both over to a nearby tree. Ben struggled, but they were too strong. With mocking laughter, they hung the two of them up by their underwear, leaving them dangling in the breeze like ragdolls. Ben's face turned crimson with embarrassment, and his temper flared. "You guys are total jerks!" he shouted, letting a few curses slip. That only seemed to enrage the bullies more. Without warning, Cash landed a punch square on Ben's face, and the world spun around him. The pain exploded across his jaw, and before he could even react, everything went black and he lost his consciousness.

Ben's head throbbed as he slowly regained consciousness, his senses sluggish and disoriented. His vision blurred as he looked around, struggling to make sense of what had happened. "What happened… where am I?" he mumbled under his breath, still hanging by the tree, his underwear digging uncomfortably into his skin. Confusion clouded his thoughts as he tried to piece together the fragments of his reality. He could barely remember the pain from the punch, but there was one question that kept repeating in his mind: "Didn't I die from being crushed by a truck?" The absurdity of it all left him more confused than ever. And then it hit him—why the hell was he hanging by a tree?

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his head, and his thoughts erupted into chaos. Unfamiliar memories flooded his mind, like a torrent that drowned out everything else. This were the memories of Ben Tennyson knowing this Ben was stunned but then he soon got excited as he have been transmigrated into his favourite superhero animation main character. In his previous life his name was also Ben Tennyson and he was a typical person who loved watching cartoons, anime, novels, ect. when he was a kid and now because of some random truck ran through him he now was transmigrated into Ben 10 and seeing himself hanging from the tree and not having Omnitrix Ben assumed that it was the start of the series and today was the day he would get his Omnitrix.

As Ben hung there, still stunned and processing the whirlwind of thoughts in his mind, a teacher finally walked by and noticed the two kids dangling from the tree. With a quick and surprised reaction, the teacher rushed over, untangling the knots and pulling Ben and the smaller kid down to safety. Ben, still disoriented but grateful to be on solid ground again, quickly grabbed his bag and made his way to a nearby bench. As he sat down, the weight of the situation began to settle in. This wasn't supposed to happen like this. In the original series, when Ben was in trouble, it was his Grandpa Max who came to the rescue, not the teacher. His heart raced as he thought deeper. Could this be an alternate universe? After all, there were countless versions of Ben Tennyson across different realities. The more he considered it, the more it made sense. This might not be the Ben 10 universe he had grown up watching. The twists and changes in this world were bound to be different, and Ben had to prepare himself for whatever came next. He closed his eyes and began recalling everything he could about the Ben 10 Classic series—the villains, the challenges, the transformations—anything that could help him navigate this unfamiliar version of his new life.

Suddenly, a sharp jolt ran through Ben's mind, like a surge of electricity. His eyes widened in confusion as a voice echoed in his head, cold yet commanding.

[Ding...Strongest Hero System is loading]

Before he could fully process it, a green screen materialized in front of his eyes, floating like a hologram. It displayed a message in bright, bold text.

[Ding...does the host want to bond with the system Yes/No]

Ben's heart skipped a beat. The legendary system that all transmigrators talked about—he had it! Without a moment's hesitation, his excitement bubbled over. He clicked the Yes option, his fingers practically shaking with anticipation. The moment he did, another notification rang out.

[Ding...Strongest Hero System has been bonded to the host]

Ben grinned wildly, but the notifications didn't stop there. A two new message appeared almost immediately

[Ding... Congratulations host for getting a Newbie gift pack]

[Ding...Newbie gift pack is stored in the inventory]

The notifications from the system stopped, leaving an eerie silence in its wake. Ben, still reeling from the rush of excitement, instinctively recalled the many novels he'd read in his past life about characters who received systems after transmigrating. He knew exactly what to do. Without hesitation, he mentally called out, "Status." The air around him shimmered for a moment, and then a new green screen appeared, displaying detailed information about him. His name, age, and stats filled the screen.

Name: Ben Tennyson

Age: 10

Str: 3

Dex: 4

Int: 3

Charm: 5

Inventory: Newbie Gift Pack

Ben studied the stats carefully. His strength, dexterity, and intelligence were low and this was acceptable because he was only a kid, but charm—charm—had a surprising rating of 5. He couldn't help but chuckle at it. It seemed like the system wasn't pulling any punches. Now the only thing that caught his attention was the Newbie Gift Pack stored in his inventory.

Just as Ben was about to click on the Newbie Gift Pack, a loud engine noise cut through his thoughts. He turned just in time to see an RV come to a stop right in front of him. His eyes widened as he recognized the iconic vehicle—the Rustbucket—a high-tech, rust-covered RV that Ben had seen countless times in the animated series. This was his Grandpa Max's vehicle. The door creaked open, and out stepped an elderly man who looked perfectly ordinary at first glance. He wore a white shirt beneath a red Hawaiian button-up with a floral design, along with blue pants and brown shoes.

Ben was stunned as the man or now his Grandpa Max—emerged, looking every bit like the lovable, rugged old man he remembered from the series and the memories of original Ben. Though he appeared like any other elderly man, Ben knew that under the surface, Max was far from ordinary. A retired plumber, Max had seen things most people could only dream of. Without thinking twice, Ben quickly closed the system screen and called out, "Grandpa Max!" Max smiled warmly, his eyes twinkling with the same familiarity Ben had always known. "Hey there, kid," he said. "Come on, hop in! Let's get this summer vacation started right." With a grin.

Ben followed his grandpa into the RV. Ben as a transmigrated person know what came next—his cousin, Gwen Tennyson, would be joining them on this road trip. Max had somehow convinced Gwen's mother to change her vacation plans, and now she would be tagging along for the three-month adventure. Ben, now fully aware of his situation as a transmigrator, had a different perspective. In his previous life, he had been a 30-year-old man, and the petty bickering he'd seen between Ben and Gwen in the show seemed trivial. He wasn't interested in picking fights or making fun of her, as was often the case.

As he entered the RV, he spotted Gwen sitting at a small table, her arms crossed, looking out the window. Without hesitation, he smiled and called out, "Hi, Gwen! Didn't expect you to tag along. It's going to be a good summer vacation with you being here with us." Both Gwen and Grandpa Max froze, caught off guard by Ben's calm and friendly tone. Normally, Ben would have teased Gwen, pulling some prank or poking fun at her, but this was different. Gwen, always quick to pick up on his usual antics, was suspicious. She narrowed her eyes, thinking this might be some new trick he was pulling. But when Ben spoke so genuinely, she hesitated. It was unlike him to be so nice, and, unsure of what to make of it, she decided to respond in kind. "Well... I guess it will be better with you being less of a pain, for once," she said, a small smile tugging at her lips. Max, still shocked by the exchange, couldn't help but laugh to himself. It seemed like this summer was going to be different and he soon goes to drive the RV and then they all sets on the road towards their destination, while travelling Ben was calm and was talking with Gwen nicely to which Gwen was not used to.

After Ben excused himself to freshen up, he stepped into the bathroom, his eyes automatically drawn to the mirror. As he gazed at his reflection, he realized he looked exactly like the Classic Ben Tennyson from the animated series—down to the spiky hair and confident expression. However, his baggy pants and slightly shorter stature were detracting from his appearance. He'd have to put together an exercise routine to work on his height and develop a lean, muscular physique. And of course, a shopping trip for new clothes was a must to ditch the outdated outfit. With a newfound determination, Ben called out to the inventory, and a 10 × 6 grid appeared before him. On the first grid was the Newbie gift pack, glowing temptingly. He clicked on it, but before he could open it, a notification rang out.

[Ding...it is requested for the host to open the newbie gift pack after he gets the Omnitrix this could increase higher level items to get from the pack]

Ben, now fully aware of the implications of the system's notification, hold off on opening the Newbie gift pack for the time being. Instead, he decided to dig deeper into the system's capabilities. "System, what functions do you have?" he asked, eager to understand more. Almost instantly, the system replied with a chime.

[Ding...replying to host The Strongest Hero System provides you with a status panel, hero missions, and rewards after being transformed into an alien hero.]

The system then went on to explain the details of each function.

STATUS PANEL: This function displayed an overall attribute of the host and any aliens Ben transformed into. It also included an inventory, allowing him to keep track of his items.

HERO MISSION: The system would assign Ben various missions, and upon completing them, he would receive corresponding rewards.

ALIEN UPGRADES: After transforming into an alien hero, Ben could earn rewards that would enhance the strength of his transformed alien forms, making them the strongest of their species.

After reviewing the system's functions, Ben quickly freshened up and stepped outside, deciding to join Gwen. Since it would be a long journey to their first stop, Ben pulled out his handheld video game and began playing to pass the time. Gwen, noticing this, was initially suspicious. She couldn't understand why Ben wasn't his usual self—fighting or teasing her like he always did. However, she shrugged off the thoughts and focused on her laptop, trying to find something interesting to keep her occupied. As the hours passed, they finally arrived at their first destination: a campsite nestled in the woods. Grandpa Max, ever the adventurer, eagerly announced that they were about to embark on a "flavor adventure," where they'd sample exotic and unusual foods ranging from mealworms to sheep's tongue. Ben and Gwen exchanged wary glances, both quickly agreeing to steer clear of Grandpa Max's cooking at all costs. The idea of tasting such bizarre dishes was enough to send a shiver down their spines.

----------------------------------------------------------

Back in space, the battle raged on in a violent storm of fire and destruction. Vilgax, commanding his bioids with ruthless precision, ordered them to board the opponent's ship. However, the enemy ship retaliated with a well-aimed shot that tore through the control room, sending a wave of flames and debris toward Vilgax. The explosion engulfed him, leaving him severely wounded, his dark armor scorched and cracked. In a fury of pain and rage, Vilgax's ship retaliated, unleashing a colossal blast that obliterated the smaller vessel in an instant. But just before the ship was reduced to rubble, a small pod was jettisoned into space. The pod spiraled through the cosmos, hurtling toward Earth, its descent unnoticed by most, but its destination already set. It was on a collision course with the planet below

----------------------------------------------------------

At the campsite, Ben pretends to be bored as he sat by the fire, tossing occasional glances at Grandpa Max and Gwen. "I'm going to check out the forest for a bit," he said casually, rising to his feet. Grandpa Max, ever the cautious one, gave him a concerned look. "Don't go too far, Ben," he warned. Ben nodded nonchalantly, then turned and headed into the trees, his mind set on finding the place where the original Ben had discovered the Omnitrix. His heart raced with anticipation as he ventured deeper into the forest. Suddenly, a streak of light shot across the sky—a shooting star. But Ben knew better. This wasn't just any shooting star; it was the pod containing the Omnitrix, hurtling through the atmosphere and crashing just ahead of him. He quickened his pace, and soon, a large crater appeared before him. Ben's waiting had finally come to an end. Without hesitation, he jumped into the crater, landing just in front of the pod. As he stood there, the pod's hatch opened on its own, revealing the glowing-green device inside. It was unmistakably the Omnitrix. Ben reached out for it, and the moment his hand touched the device, it sprang to life, latching itself onto his wrist with a familiar click. Unlike the original Ben, who had panicked at this moment, Ben remained calm. He knew this was exactly how things were supposed to unfold, and now, with the Omnitrix on his wrist, the true adventure was about to begin.

Without wasting any time, Ben opened his inventory and clicked on the Newbie gift pack, eager to see what rewards awaited him. As soon as he did, three items burst out in a flash of light, each one floating before him with a detailed description.

1. Omnitrix Time Upgrade: This upgrade increases the transformation state to 30 minutes, with a cooldown of about 10 minutes between uses.

2. Super Soldier Serum (SSS): A powerful serum from the Marvel universe, famously used by Captain America. It enhances the user's strength, speed, dexterity, defense, and other physical attributes by a factor of 10 times that of an athlete, turning the host into a peak human specimen.

3. Six Styles (Rokushiki): A full set of the Marine Six Styles, a set of advanced martial arts techniques used by the Marines from the One Piece world, it can be used in human as well as in alien forms.

Seeing the items Ben eyes were wide open and he was shocked, he was not expecting that this many good thing to come out form the gift pack.

Ben soon recovered from his stunned expression, quickly adapting to the new reality of his powerful gifts. Not choosing to integrate the rewards, he made his way back to the campsite, where he found Gwen and Grandpa Max deep in discussion about what to prepare for dinner. As Ben approached, Grandpa Max waved him over. "Come on, Ben! We need a tiebreaker here—what's it going to be for dinner?" he called out.

As Ben drew closer, Max's eyes fell on the strange device now adorning Ben's wrist. His jovial expression shifted to one of shock and concern. "Ben," he said slowly, pointing to the glowing green watch, "where did you get that?" Hearing the question, Gwen turned her attention to Ben's wrist and immediately became curious. "Whoa, what is that? A new gadget or something?" she asked, leaning in for a closer look.

Ben alredy knowing that his grandpa would ask this already prepared an answer for it and without waiting for a moment, He looked directly at his grandpa and replied, "I found it in a pod that fell from space. When I looked inside and reached for it, the watch just... came to life and latched onto my wrist." Grandpa Max's expression darkened slightly, and he seemed lost in thought. Without another word, he stood up and said, "Wait here, both of you. I need to check where that pod landed." Leaving Ben and Gwen behind, he grabbed a flashlight and began heading toward the forest, a look of quiet urgency on his face. Ben knowing that grandpa have recognized Omnitrix was calm and he knows what would happen now and on the other hand Gwen was clueless what is happing right now so he came closer to Ben to know more about the watch.

----------------------------------------------------------

Back in space, Vilgax's mutilated body floated in a healing tank, tubes and wires connected to various machines keeping him alive. His once-imposing form was now ravaged, his armor shattered, and his flesh badly burned from the explosion. Despite the agony, his mind remained sharp, fueled by rage and a singular purpose. As he monitored the aftermath of the battle, his sensors picked up a crucial signal-the Omnitrix had fallen to Earth. Vilgax's eyes burned with determination as he processed this information. Without wasting a moment, he ordered one of his deadly Mechadroids to be deployed.The towering machine, equipped with advanced weaponry and scanning capabilities, was sent hurtling toward Earth with a single mission: retrie The Omnitrix at all costs.

Vilgax's Mechadroid landed with a thunderous crash at the site where the pod had fallen, its metallic frame towering ominously above the smoldering crater. The machine scanned its surroundings with glowing red optics, the whirring of its internal systems breaking the eerie silence of the forest. It advanced to the pod, its clawed hands prying open the hatch, only to find it empty. The Omnitrix was gone not finding it the Mechadroid launched a missile on the pod and the pod exploded into pieces then the Mechadroid opened compartments on its massive shoulders, ejecting two smaller, sleek flying drones. They hummed to life, their red sensors flickering as they activated their scanning protocols. The drones zipped into the air, spreading out in opposite directions and the Mechadroid also went on his own search for finding the Omnitrix.

----------------------------------------------------------

As Gwen got closer to Ben, she grabbed his wrist and closely examined the strange watch-like device. "What is this thing? What does it do? Have you tried using it? Does it show the time or have some kind of weapon function?" she asked, her barrage of questions coming rapid-fire. Her curiosity only grew as she leaned in so close that her face was practically touching the Omnitrix. Feeling uncomfortable and not wanting her to accidentally activate it, Ben quickly pulled his hand back.

"I don't know what it does," Ben replied nonchalantly, though his mind was racing. He knew exactly what the Omnitrix was capable of, but he had no intention of telling Gwen or anyone else about his transmigration or the system. Some things are better left secret, he thought. Pretending to inspect the device, Ben placed his hand on the Omnitrix's faceplate and rotated the dial. To his satisfaction, the circular piece popped upward with a faint click.

Gwen's eyes lit up with curiosity. "How did you do that?" she asked.

"I just turned the dial," Ben said, keeping his tone casual. Rotating it further, he watched as shadowy images of various alien forms appeared on the Omnitrix's display. As the silhouettes flickered before him, Ben noted with satisfaction that all the original aliens were available. He already knew which one would be perfect for what was coming.

Without hesitation, he locked in his choice and gently pressed the dial down he pressed it gently because he knows that why did Omnitrix gives the original Ben random aliens and this was because of his roughly hitting the Omnitrix dial and to not get random aliens he choose to use the Omnitrix more gently. Then instantly, a bright green light engulfed him, so intense that Gwen had to shield her eyes. When the glow subsided, she slowly opened them, only to see a completely transformed Ben. His body was now sleek and black, like liquid metal, with glowing green circuitry patterns etched across him. The familiar hourglass symbol of the Omnitrix gleamed on his chest.

Gwen's jaw dropped as she took in the sight. "Ben... is that you?" she asked, her voice trembling with shock.

The creature turned to her, his voice now deeper but unmistakably Ben's. "Yeah, it's me," he said with a smirk. As Ben marveled at his new alien form, a sudden notification from the system rang in his mind:

[Ding...Host has transformed into his first alien: "Upgrade."]

[Ding...Rewards are being distributed to the inventory. Please check for them.]

Before he could process or check the rewards, a beam of red light shot out of nowhere, striking him directly and sending him flying backward into a tree. The impact left him momentarily stunned, his sleek alien form smoking slightly from the attack. Gwen screamed his name in panic, rushing toward him as he pushed himself up from the base of the tree.

Ben's sharp eyes spotted the source of the attack—the drones sent by the Mechadroid. Knowing exactly how to use Upgrade's abilities, Ben focused on the circular eye on his head, and a green beam of energy shot out, instantly obliterating one of the drones. Gwen gasped in awe, her fear giving way to astonishment as she reached Ben. "Are you okay?" she asked breathlessly.

"I'm fine," Ben assured her, his voice steady despite the situation. But before they could catch their breath, the remaining drone surged toward Ben. This time, Ben leaped onto it with precision, his liquid-metal body merging seamlessly with the drone's machinery. Within moments, Ben gained control, shutting down the drone's systems and destroying its core functions. As he disconnected from the lifeless machine, his form reverted to normal. Then with Gwen's help, Ben dragged both drones into one place. Before she could bombard him with questions, Grandpa Max emerged from the forest, his expression briefly serious as he took in the scene. "What happened here? Ben is the you?" he asked, though his tone quickly returned to his usual calm demeanor. To the question Ben answers "yes grandpa it is me".

Later, as they sat around the bonfire, Gwen broke the silence. "So, how long are you planning on staying like that... monster?" she asked, her brow furrowed.

Grandpa Max corrected her gently, "It's not a monster—it's an alien."

Gwen raised an eyebrow. "And how do you know it's an alien?" she challenged.

Max hesitated, clearly caught off guard. "Well... what else could it be?" he said with a nervous chuckle. And then a beeping sound was heard and Gwen and grandpa looked at Ben and saw the Omnitrix began to glow with red light and bam! Red light burst out and Ben returned to his original human form.

Ben knowing this was going to happen because of him not integrated the rewards into himself his time limit for being alien hero was minimum and then Ben pretending to be surprised said,"great! Now it means it don't take much time to return into my original self after being transformed". Gwen and Grandpa both agreed with it and then Ben ask grandpa to help them load he drones waste into the RV so that they could find something from then to which Grandpa agreed and took the materials into the RV.

Back at the RV, the trio sat discussing the strange watch, speculating about its origins and purpose. Suddenly, a distressed voice crackled through the RV's dispatch radio. The transmission revealed that a group of people was under attack nearby—by none other than Vilgax's Mechadroid.

Ben's expression turned serious as he realized the machine was after the Omnitrix. He looked at Grandpa Max and said firmly, "We need to go there. I'm the only one who can stop it."

Max hesitated, his protective instincts warring with the determination in Ben's voice. Gwen, too, was unsure but moved by Ben's resolve. "Alright," Max finally agreed, starting the RV and heading toward the coordinates.

As soon as they arrived at the scene, Ben didn't waste a second he said,"stay here don't come outside". He rushed outside, activating the Omnitrix mid-run. The green light engulfed him, and once again, he transformed into Upgrade. Without hesitation, he fired an energy beam from his eye, striking the Mechadroid and forcing it backward. The machine staggered under the attack, giving Ben the opportunity to leap forward and merge with its systems.

The Mechadroid struggled violently, its limbs flailing as Ben's liquid-metal form spread through its circuits. Within moments, Ben reached its core and destroyed it, rendering the machine lifeless. The battle was over as quickly as it began, and the onlookers stared in stunned silence.

Max and Gwen watched the scene unfold from the RV, equally astonished. "How...?" Max muttered, unable to process how Ben had mastered the Omnitrix so quickly. Gwen, still wide-eyed, whispered, "Since when is my idiot cousin this... amazing?"

Using his control over the disabled Mechadroid, Ben guided its bulky frame toward the forest near their campsite. Realizing Ben's intent, Max quickly started the RV and followed.

The people who had been under attack were left bewildered, glancing between each other in disbelief. "What was that thing? And where did it go?" one of them muttered, still trying to comprehend how a strange, metallic creature had appeared out of nowhere, defeated the monstrous robot in mere seconds, and then disappeared just as abruptly.

At the campsite, the large, defeated Mechadroid lay sprawled across the ground, its once-menacing frame now silent and lifeless. Ben, still in his Upgrade form, stood nearby, his liquid-metal body shimmering faintly under the moonlight as he surveyed his handiwork. Moments later, the RV pulled up, its headlights casting long shadows over the forest floor.

Gwen was the first to hop out, her face a mix of disbelief and awe. "Ben, that was incredible! You took down that giant thing like it was nothing!" she exclaimed, walking over to him.

Grandpa Max followed, his expression proud yet contemplative. "I've got to hand it to you, Ben. That was some quick thinking back there. You handled yourself like a pro."

Ben's metallic form shifted slightly, his glowing green circuitry flickering as he turned to face them. A cocky smile formed on what could only be described as his alien face. "What can I say? I'm a natural," he replied with a smug tone, causing Gwen to roll her eyes.

But she wasn't letting him off so easily. "Seriously, though," she pressed, her curiosity overriding her annoyance. "How did you figure all that out? You've only had that thing for, like, an hour, and you're already acting like a pro!"

Ben crossed his arms, the Omnitrix symbol on his chest glowing faintly. "Let's just say I've got good instincts," he replied, deflecting the question as he mentally congratulated himself on not revealing anything about his transmigrated identity or the system.

Max chuckled softly at this but got serious quickly. "Well, whatever it is, it's working. Just be careful with that watch, Ben. It's more powerful than it looks."

Ben nodded, his cocky demeanor softening slightly. "Don't worry, Grandpa. I've got this." and the beeping sound was again heard and red light showed and Ben returned to his human form. Then the trio freshened up and had their dinner to which Ben and Gwen were both allergic to but still to not make their grandpa unhappy ate the dinner and then they goes to sleeping while Ben pretending to sleep silently called out for the system inventory and 3 rewards were shown with their discription.

[ 1. Bio-Mechanical Symbiosis:

Ability: Upgrade can now bond with living organisms in addition to mechanical objects. This ability allows host to merge with and enhance the biological capabilities of living beings (e.g., gaining enhanced strength, senses, or regenerative abilities). When bonded with a living organism, Upgrade can share knowledge, improve their natural abilities, or even heal their injuries by restructuring cellular patterns.

Limitation: The bond is temporary and requires consent (or an established connection). Overuse may tire both Upgrade and the organism.

2. Instantaneous Integration:

Ability: Upgrade's integration speed has drastically increased, allowing host to merge with mechanical objects or living beings almost instantly. This ability reduces the time needed to understand and adapt to new systems, enabling him to make rapid upgrades in high-pressure situations.

Feature: This speed also extends to undoing merges, making it possible for host to shift between targets seamlessly in battle or emergencies.

3. Infinite Neuro-Capacity:

Ability: Upgrade possesses a vast and expandable neural database that allows it to store all information about anything he merges with. This ability also extends to host human form, enabling host to store or process this information.

Feature: The database includes mechanical blueprints, biological data, or tactical insights, making host a walking encyclopedia of advanced knowledge and enhanced brain capacity.

Drawback: Storing excessive information may strain host mental ability (ie.headache, falling unconscious,etc) when in human form, though he can selectively offload data to manage it. ]

Seeing this three rewards Ben was happy because this rewards can now enhance not only his upgrade form but also increase his brain capacity in his human form which was quite incredible. Then he told the system to integrate the rewards and a sudden surge of energy coursed through him, and he felt a strange sensation, as though his mind was expanding. His thoughts became clearer and faster, and he realized his mental capacity had significantly increased. Memories and strategies seemed easier to recall, and he could feel an improved ability to process information at lightning speed. It was as if his brain had been upgraded from a primative human to intelligent human. After integrating the rewards he got form the first hero transformation Ben shifted his attention towards the other gifts for the newbie gift pack.

[ 1.Omnitrix time upgrade

2.Super Soldier Serum (SSS)

3.Six Styles (Rokushiki) ]

Ben then selects the Omnitrix time upgrade and integrated it as soon as he the integration starts the symbol of Omnitrix shines with green light and then soon dims down. Ben knowing that the integration have succedded shifts his attention into next reward but heasisted and ask the system "system does after integrating the SSS does my body will transform into same as captain america? Will I get the same muscle mass and other changes if so then it would be troublesome in giving Grandpa Max and Gwen some explanation".

[Ding...host doesn't have to worry because it is modified by the system and if host want the system can slow the integration process in which as age of host increases the integration will also increase but for starter there would be some changes that will happen to the host that would be increase in height and some normal muscle gain]

Hearing this Ben was satisfied and quickly integrated the SSS and then a rush of intense energy surged through his body. His muscles tensed, his heart rate accelerated, and he felt a burning sensation spread through every vein. Moments later, his body began to adjust, and the discomfort was replaced with a feeling of raw power. Ben knowing that it was not good to wake up and check himself about the changes to his body as he was still pretending to sleep and then selected the last reward and proceeded to integrate.

Then many memories regarding the Six Styles (Rokushiki) flooded his brain but because of infinite neuro-capacity this memories were stored in Ben's head and Ben have already figured out all the moves form the Six Styles and now he just have to apply it in his fight against the villains or aliens to test it or he should just test it tomorrow morning.

After integrating the rewards Ben was soon overcomed with tiredness because of the battles he have gone through for the first time and also because he was tired of integrating the rewards into his body so Ben then began to fall asleep for real........
