Benny 10 ā Classic Season #1 (My AU Version)
Benny 10: A parallel universe where our beloved Ben Tennyson āthe boy heroā transforms into female alien forms.
If you want to get more familiar with the AU, you can read this and this post.
Iām not going to explain every detail ā just the timeline points that matter most.
-ā-ā”-ā-ā”-ā-ā”-ā-
As mentioned before, Benny gets the Omnitrix and defeats Vilgaxās robot using his female alien forms.
This episode is extremely important because Tetrax, SixSix, and Kraab appear ā and Tetraxās presence matters a lot.
In the previous post, I explained how Tetrax betrayed Zenith (the creator of the Omnitrix) and Tirixie (his daughter). His betrayal led to Tirixieās death right in front of him.
Zenith didnāt have enough time to gather perfect DNA samples, so for the Petrosapien DNA she used Tirixieās DNA ā Tetraxās daughter.
So⦠Diamond Shard (my AU version of Diamondhead) is literally a copy of Tirixie. Even the name āShardā is a deliberate reference to Tetraxās own name.
When Tetrax sees Diamond Shard for the first time, heās suddenly faceātoāface with his daughterās image.
He freezes ā shocked, terrified, drowning in guilt ā while Benny has no idea whatās going on and just sees a threat.
Diamond Shard (taunting): āHey, useless bounty hunter! Why are you just standing there? Why arenāt you attacking like before? What, scared of someone who looks like you?! Huh?!ā
Tetrax (stunned): āā¦Tirixieā¦ā
Diamond Shard: āHuh?! Who the hell is Tirixie? My name is Diamond Shard, not Tirixie.ā
And Tetrax suddenly pulls her into a hug. Itās strange, but yes ā he even cries (if his species can). He apologizes over and over, crushed by the guilt of his betrayal.
This moment becomes the starting point of Tetrax realizing the truth behind the Omnitrix.
At the end of the episode, Tetrax gives Benny a necklace made from his own stone and tells him he can call for help anytime using it.
Originally I wanted to change Kevinās gender ā but then a much more wicked idea came to mind.
When Benny meets Kevin, he gets a crush on him. And because heās a boy, he panics and tells himself he must like girls, not boys.
Kevin notices the crush ā and starts flirting intentionally.
Thereās a scene with some bullies bothering Kevin. Benny secretly transforms to defend him. As XLR8 (I still havenāt picked a name for her AU version), he beats the bullies easily. Kevin compliments the alien girlās body, and Benny blushes hard and runs away faster than ever.
Later, when Benny approaches Kevin in human form, Kevin talks about the alien girl again ā and Benny blushes even more, while his brain screams at him to āstop being gay.ā
Eventually Benny is forced to transform in front of Kevin, revealing his secret. Kevin then intensifies the flirting and convinces Benny that liking him isnāt wrong. And in the perfect moment, he absorbs the Omnitrix ās power ā transforming into male versions of the aliens.
Thatās when his true nature shows.
Kevin, at age 11, is honestly the worst person alive. Once he gets the power, he drops the flirting act and becomes a narcissistic, homophobic jerk. Every word he says breaks Bennyās heart.
Benny, full of rage and pain, transforms into Four Fist (AU Four Arms) and fights him.
Kevin (mocking): āYouāre such a weak, girly little thing. Ohā sorry. I forgot youāre a boy. But youāre still worthless.ā
Four Fist roars in fury and cracks his knuckles.
Four Fist (cold): āLet me show you how a girl fights ā and breaks you.ā
He beats Kevin brutally, breaking his bones.
After this experience, Benny is emotionally shattered. Gwen drops her pride, hugs him, and comforts him with genuine kindness.
This episode is mostly the same as the original ā except Gwen gets a crush on Charmcaster, and Charmcaster returns the feeling. They develop an enemyātoālovers dynamic.
Final Two Episodes of Season #1
These episodes are completely different in the AU ā and they change Bennyās future entirely.
Instead of Vilgax, Kiaxa, Vilgaxās daughter, is hunting Benny.
When Benny first gets the Omnitrix, Kiaxa arrives on Earth following the last known coordinates of the device. Every city Benny passes through becomes a disaster zone because Kiaxa is searching for him ā causing chaos and death.
Benny decides to stop running. He chooses a remote area where no civilians will be hurt and waits for Kiaxa to arrive.
Kiaxa shows up. She boasts about her mother Aālaxās empire and demands the Omnitrix back.
Benny refuses, saying the device was created to stop conquerors like them.
A battle begins. Magister Maxine and even U.S. soldiers join the fight. Kiaxa uses her hidden ship to slaughter the soldiers and captures Benny, taking him aboard to deliver him to her mother.
Maxine is badly injured. Gwen canāt help. Benny uses his last hope ā the stone Tetrax gave him.
While being transported offāplanet, Benny manages to escape his cell. Kiaxa confronts him. They talk, revealing Kiaxaās motivation: she wants her motherās approval and honor.
Tetrax, SixSix, and Kraab arrive. Kiaxa fights all four alone. She kills SixSix by throwing him into the burning engine, and she tears Kraab apart and throws the pieces into space.
Tetrax refuses to let Benny suffer the same fate as Tirixie. He tells Benny to escape with his ship while he holds Kiaxa off.
Benny leaves. Tetrax fights her ā unleashing all his rage and guilt.
But Kiaxa is relentless. Just as sheās about to win, she realizes her chest has been pierced.
Benny stands behind her, holding a massive laser weapon ā having shot straight through her torso.
Benny grabs Tetrax and escapes.
Kiaxaās ship crashes into asteroids and explodes, leaving no body behind.
Tetrax brings Benny back to Earth. Maxine recovers thanks to advanced tech in the Rust Bucket.
Benny feels the crushing weight of having killed someone. Tetrax comforts him like a father, helping ease the burden.
In the final scene of Season 1, Aālax sits on her throne. Her son Jaxx informs her of Kiaxaās death. Aālax orders the invasion of Earth ā and the retrieval of the Omnitrix.
-ā-ā”-ā-ā”-ā-ā”-ā-
I honestly didnāt expect the āsummaryā of Season 1 to get this long ā but it makes sense. The AU is deep, emotional, and complex. And the next seasons will probably be just as intense.
