We've all heard about the legends of Ben 10 and how he has also saved the multiverse on multiple occasions. But what if there was another? Another hero there to help Ben? Another hero who wielded an Omnitrix variant? This is the origin story of how a young boy named Y/N L/N who joins his best friend Ben Tennyson, as well as his cousin Gwen and even Grandpa Max on a long cross-country summer vacation, becoming the universe's second hero.

In June 2020, the world ends without warning and without mercy for sound. Jamie Lam, a Chinese-American high school swimmer from Ronald Reagan High School in San Antonio, Texas, has spent her teenage life as a student and also measuring time in laps, meets, and countdowns to the next season. When a summer trip to Italy with her closest friends becomes the setting for a global catastrophe, Jamie must learn to survive not by speed, but by restraint. As monstrous beings-drawn only to sound-tear through cities across continents, Jamie and her friends find themselves stranded in Naples on the day the world collapses. Their only hope lies across the water, toward Sicily; one of the last places where life still dares to be loud.

In June 2020, Madison Yang-a 17-year-old swimmer and orchestra student at Syosset High School-lives a life built on rhythm: early practices, crowded hallways, late-night texts with friends, and the steady comfort of water. Alongside her best friends and teammates Sasha and Natalie, Madison believes her world is predictable, even when the outside news feels heavy and uncertain. But as seasons pass from Halloween lights to championship nerves, from winter city streets to spring protests, everything begins to shift. And when a long-awaited trip to Cape Town, South Africa turns into something unthinkable, Madison and her friends must rely on instinct, loyalty, and the one thing that has always kept them alive: motion. They will run, hide, fight to stay quiet... and ultimately chase the ocean toward escape-toward Mauritius, and then a faraway life still filled with sound: Melbourne, Australia.

In the quiet suburbs of Bellevue, Washington, 17-year-old Kaitlyn Dela Cruz has always balanced school, swim meets, and a close circle of friends with practiced ease. Popular, ambitious, and fiercely loyal, Kaitlyn thrives in the rhythm of her everyday life-until the world is abruptly silenced. When the enigmatic Death Angels descend during a European vacation in Valencia, Spain, Kaitlyn and her friends are thrust into a fight for survival. In this new reality, sound itself becomes a weapon, and every step, every breath, could spell disaster. With her swimming skills, quick thinking, and unshakable determination, Kaitlyn must navigate chaos, protect her friends, and find a way to safety-setting their sights on the Canary Islands, one of the few places still untouched by the silent menace.

An alternate universe, where Ben didn't become a hero at 10, Grandpa Max isn't there to guide him, Villains are more dangerous then original but a world always needs a hero and so ITS HERO TIME!!

Before the world ended, it was loud. Phoebe Oh is seventeen, a competitive swimmer from Rancho Santa Margarita, balancing senior year at Santa Margarita Catholic High School with the relentless demands of Irvine Novaquatics. Her life is defined by routine-early mornings at the pool, long drives to swim meets, laughter with her closest friends, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly who she is and where she's going. Sound is everywhere, and it means nothing. In June 2020, a sudden and catastrophic invasion turns Los Angeles into a battlefield. Creatures that hunt by sound reduce cities to silence within hours, and the world Phoebe knows collapses in panic and confusion. As the military fails and survival becomes instinct, Phoebe learns that the discipline she once used to shave seconds off her races now determines whether she lives.

In a distant realm where magic thrives, ferocious beasts shake mountains and rivers with their mighty roars, and individuals wield superhuman strength capable of reshaping their surroundings. It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.

"The eyes... reflect what the brain perceives. Like a mirror to view and see. But some mirrors are more different than others. Some are cracked, while others are shattered. So tell me, is this the truest of your reflections, or is it just a shattered version of you?" There is more to the Koul'in than just their country-wide invasion. All of the enemies they have fought so far... they're only pieces, fragments, and parts of a whole. And when that whole picture forms... who can Jihyo truly trust? The greatest fan meet to ever exist becomes the most vile, bloody treasure hunt there is.

Seventeen-year-old Taylor Vernon, a varsity swimmer with Olympic ambitions, knows the rhythm of life by the sound of water - the splash of her dive, the cheers of the crowd, the laughter of her teammates echoing through the Woodward High natatorium. When the Death Angels arrive on June 18th, 2020, during their summer break trip to Los Angeles, Taylor and her friends must transform from competitive swimmers into silent survivors. Their mission: reach LAX International Airport and secure passage to the still-safe Australia, one of the last places on Earth where waves and voices are still allowed to be loud.

Stop worrying about the damned rain and start thinking about what's on the other side of that storm: Survival.❞ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ The people aren't quite people anymore. From here on out, you shoot to kill.
