Hace poco me envicie con dos historias del chaquetrix, la del usuario @JoaSwitch y la de @The-King-100. Ya tenía ganas de hacer mi propia historia del chaquetrix, pero el primero me inspiró para hacer una enfocada en el reboot de Ben 10. Desde ahora avisó que la historia va a tener algunos cambios. Créditos de las imágenes usadas a sus respectivos creadores. La idea original le pertenece a @TrixTheAlien.
