Ben 10 Miraculous X-alien

meeting between friends

- The times in Paris were quite calm, but the new appearance of the new hero of Paris raised many questions, especially for the two main heroes of the city. Marinette was now in her room, looking at a sheet of paper while Tikki flew beside her, munching on a croissant -

Marinette - { Done! Here are the places I’ll take Ben, so he can get to know Paris and have fun at the same time. }

Tikki - { I’ve never seen you this excited. }

Marinette - { I haven’t seen Ben in years, so I want to have fun with him like we used to and catch up, you know? }

Tikki - { I hope you both have a great time. }

Marinette - { Thanks, Tikki. I hope Ben has fun too. }

Tikki - { Speaking of him, did you let him know about this? }

Marinette - { ... I have to tell him!! How could I forget? } - She rushed around her room until she found her phone and dialed Ben’s number.

(( Ben: Hey Mari, how's it going? ))

Marinette - { H-hey Ben, I’m good, and you? }

(( Ben: I’m good, and Aunt Sabine and Uncle Tom, are they well? ))

Marinette - { They are, Ben. I’d like to ask if you’re free this afternoon so we can hang out a bit. }

(( Ben: I’ll be free, where should we meet? ))

Marinette - { You can come to my house. }

(( Ben: Cool, I’ll be there in an hour, Mari. ))

- Marinette hung up the phone and placed it on the table.

Marinette - { Done... I thought I wouldn’t manage. }

Tikki - { Well, now we need to choose an outfit. }

Marinette - { That’s true. I have to choose the best outfit I have. }

- Marinette and Tikki rummaged through the wardrobe looking for the perfect outfit for her day with Ben -

      《 Tennyson Family House 》

Ben - { I didn’t expect Mari to invite me out. }

《Alert! Searching for ideal clothes for a friend outing in your wardrobe.》

Ben - { What? }

《Alert! Ideal outfit found: the first shirt from your wardrobe, the second pair of pants from your drawer, and your second jacket located near your old shirt from 10 years ago. The sneakers on top of your wardrobe will also be very useful.》

Ben - { Okay... I didn’t expect that, but I’ll wear them. Thanks, Cybertrix. }

《Alert! My duty is to assist the bearer in everything they need.》

Ben - { Well, it’s time to get ready. }

- Ben got dressed, putting on the clothes Cybertrix suggested. He also added a bit of cologne, grabbed his phone, and headed to the living room where he found his dad -

Carl - { Going somewhere, son? }

Ben - { I’m going out with Mari. }

Carl - { I see, wait a moment. } - He left the room and went to a drawer near the TV, retrieving a small necklace.

Carl - { Give this to Marinette as a gift. }

Ben - { Dad, it’s not a date. }

Carl - { It doesn’t matter; after all, you’ve been away from each other for years, so it’ll be nice to give her a gift. }

- Carl handed the necklace to Ben, who took it and put it away. Carl also gave him some money, which Ben tried to refuse but eventually accepted -

Carl - { Go on, son. I hope you both have fun. }

Ben - { We will, bye, Dad!! } -

- Ben walked to his car that had just arrived and started driving to his friend’s house. He arrived at the Dupain-Cheng bakery, turned off the car, and entered the bakery, where he was greeted with a hug from Tom -

Sabine - { Tom, you’re suffocating him. }

Tom - { Sorry, Ben. } - He released Ben, who was already red from the strong hug.

Ben - { It’s okay, it’s a pleasure to see you both again. }

Sabine - { The pleasure is all ours, Ben. }

Tom - { We heard that you and Marinette are going out together. }

Ben - { Yes, she invited me out this afternoon. By the way, where is she? }

Marinette - { I’m here; I hope I didn’t keep you waiting. }

- Ben looked at Marinette, surprised and with red cheeks. He quickly composed himself and approached her, handing her the necklace -

Ben - { It’s a gift; I hope you like it. }

Marinette - { Thank you, Ben! I love it so much; can you put it on for me? }

Ben - { Of course. }

- Marinette turned her back while Ben placed the necklace around her neck -

Marinette - { How do I look? }

Ben - { You look beautiful, Mari. }

Marinette - { Thanks, Ben. Shall we go? }

Ben - { Let’s go. }

- They said goodbye to Sabine and Tom and headed to the car. Marinette was surprised to see Ben's car. After they got in, Ben started the car and began driving, but he had to remember that Paris is not always a peaceful place -

           《 Billions Company 》

??? - { Please, Mr. Joseph, give me one more chance. }

Joseph - { No, I want competent employees, not failures like you. }

??? - { But, boss, I- }

Joseph - { Get out of here, or I’ll call security, Michael. }

Michael - { Yes, Mr. Joseph. }

- Michael left sadly from the company, and to make matters worse, he tripped in a puddle, causing several people to laugh at him. Michael ran away while crying, as someone saw that sadness as something very useful -

        《 Hawk Moth's Base 》

Hawk Moth - { Oh, a man being fired after so much effort, only to be humiliated on the street... a great prey for my akuma. } - A butterfly descended to his hand.

- Hawk Moth covered the butterfly with both hands, transforming it into a black butterfly that flew out of the base -

Hawk Moth - { Fly, my little akuma, and bring that man to evil. }

- The akuma reached the man who was crying in an alley, entered his hammer keychain, and a mark appeared on his face -

Hawk Moth - { Hammerfist, I am Hawk Moth. Your boss fired you despite your hard work, so I’m giving you the power to destroy everything and everyone in exchange for the miraculous of Ladybug and Cat Noir. }

Hammerfist - { With pleasure, Hawk Moth. I will make that bastard fear the true wrath and power of Hammerfist the relentless.}
