Aliens and Fairies are real?!

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Revived by a Melody



"Clothes….check"

"Essentials...check?" a slightly worried voice can be heard saying as it's revealed to be Ben who moves some stuff aside in what appears be a suitcase before reaching down to take out his phone before letting out a sigh of relief

"Nearly thought I'd lost you….why did I even put you in there?" He mumbles and facepalms at his own stupidity before stuffing it into his pocket before he's interrupted by knock at the door which wouldn't make any sense as they usually just barge into each others bedrooms

"It's been a while, Benjamin" The voice startles him as he turns as fast as he's able to while putting a hand on the omnitrix though his expression changes from one of concern to one of anger as he sees the man standing at his door...Paradox

"Paradox?" Ben asked confused as he didn't really expect to see him especially since he was just about to leave Alfea since it was some type of holiday break, which he would be spending with Musa and her family

"What are you doing here…..and how did you even get in" Ben asks not really all too concerned as to why he's here since it's probably nothing important though he is concerned as to HOW he got in without knocking on the front door

"I won't take much of your time, as I know your busy" Paradox said walking into Ben and Stella's shared room spotting a particular book sitting on Ben's nightstand which was the exact book he had stolen from Cloud Tower picking it up his thumbs already getting slightly stained with sharpie that had been used to hide the contents in the pages inside which had somehow begun to leak through the cover

"Then what is it that you came here about?" Ben asked before he turned on his phone showing him the time which only manages to make him anxious since he has to leave soon or he could miss the ship going to Melody and he doesn't want to end up either flying through space or end up going through multiple magic links in the oceans of Andros trying to find the right one to go through in order to get to Melody

"Well first, I wanted to talk about your overuse of Alien X" Paradox began setting down the book back down as he focused his gaze on Ben's omnitrix which caused the omnitrix user to hide it behind his back

"Paradox, listen I know Faragonda trusts you but that doesn't give you the right to dictate how I use my omnitrix" Ben says his eyes ever so slightly narrowing as he looks at the Professor

'Well, if he's just here to reprimand me I might as well just get my things and leave' Ben thought as het let out a quiet sigh and speaking up

"Well, Paradox this…..chat's been real pleasant but I've got to go" Ben says as what appears to be Snare-Oh's bandages begin to come out of the top of his hand picking up his luggage as he begins to make his way to the door

"Ben I-" Paradox's words were halted as a sonic boom was suddenly heard as Ben, having transformed into his hedgehog form, suddenly ran away leaving a black and green blur only for the black and green hedgehog to return moments later.

"Oh, and also get out of my apartment" He says deciding to attempt using magic while transformed, inky blackness slowly covers his gloved fingers before he then snapped his fingers as Paradox then felt the floor below him give out as a portal opened beneath him and before he knew it he found himself in the place between universes and there's only one word to describe it

Cold

 

Which lasts only a few seconds before what appears to be large green ship of some sort comes barreling towards him, a ship Paradox recognizes as Kevin's old modified Rustbucket 3

'Interesting' is all Paradox thinks as the Ship does some a barrel roll to the side barely managing to avoid the professor by a few feet as it's thrusters shut off as it comes to a stop shortly after

Paradox could already tell who was going to come out as the airlock finally opened up and a few seconds after out came Alien X

"Well...this is new" The celestialsapien says unsure at what he's seeing as he just floats in front of the Professor

"Ah hello, Benjamin" Paradox says a small smile ever so slowly making itself onto his face as he enjoys seeing the celestialsapien's eyes widening

"How do you...talk, and do it fast" Alien X says outstretching a hand towards Paradox threatening to outright erase him, but Paradox doesn't look too phased

"Oh, that's not important, what IS important is that I know your trying to find a safe place for your family" Paradox says gesturing to the rustbucket which only makes Alien X's eyes narrow even more but allows him to speak

"I know somebody...or rather….somepony that might be able to help you" Paradox said calmly while also partially wondering if this would cause a certain chain of events that a certain someone told him about

"Some….what now?" Alien X asked genuinely confused as he slowly lowered his hand until it's down by his side as he's just...confused

"Oh, nevermind just go in that direction and you'll be there in no time" Paradox says ignoring his confusion while gesturing to another part of the inky blackness of the in between space of universes

"And once you arrive at that universe search for someone called Celestia she'll know you're coming by the time you get there" Paradox said before opening a portal and walking….or rather floating through it with Alien X unable to stop him in time as now Paradox finds himself in a field

"Hmm…..about time I paid the alicorn a visit, how many years has it been since I last came for a visit…..500?" Paradox wondered aloud as he began to make his way down a nearby dirt path that he knew wasn't often traveled, passing a moss-covered sign that had an arrow pointing towards a city in the distance which looks to have been built on the side of the mountain, with the sign he passed reading 'Canterlot"

 

Meanwhile back with Ben, he could be seen rushing down the halls in hedgehog form but as he arrived at the front doors he suddenly stopped sliding to a stop as he looked up and around 'That's...odd…I swear I just felt a change in the timeline' Ben thought as his eyes flickered to the sides one last time almost as if waiting for something to happen but…..nothing does and after a few moments he lets out a sigh of relief

'Guess I'm just paranoid….still though that was weird' Ben thought shaking his head as he shook his head before walking forward pushing the front doors open his eyes landing on his girlfriends, with his eyes slowly going over them

Bloom, Stella, Musa, and finally the two newest and hopefully last additions to their weird little polyamory thing they had going on

Tecna and Flora, yes he had begun dating the two fairies which also meant that he was now officially dating EVERYONE in his apartment…..how had this happened again? He could only wonder though then again he did suspect that tree he incinerated back when they went back to Black Mud Swamp had something to do with the last two joining, especially with those...aphrodisiac spores as he called them...….he's still trying to get the events from that day erased from his memory

"Finally! Thought you'd never arrive, do you know how long we've been waiting" Musa breaks his train of thought as he turns to see the music fairy put her hands on her hips as she glares at her boyfriend who just laughs as he rubs his head quills

"Yeah yeah, sorry" Ben laughed before looking up at them though this only lasts a few seconds as he reverts back to 'human' as he stretches while looking around noticing that a few certain people are missing from the group

"By the way…..where's Sapphire and Ship?" Ben asked and almost as if on cue a light blue and white blur is suddenly seen rushing towards them before sliding to a stop

There standing near them is a light blue and short female hedgehog with white highlights, breathing heavily before she speaks up "Sorry but….these two insisted on getting smoothies" A voice he quickly recognized as Sapphire said and in her arms where two of his children....one more awake than the other as Ship was asleep and her being a heavy sleeper meant that she wouldn't wake up for anything

"Daddy!" Amy yelled wiggling out of Sapphire's grasp falling to the ground before running up to Ben jumping up into his arms as a smile quickly made its way onto his face

"Oh, my sweet snow angel, have you been good to your auntie Sapphire?" Ben asked gently ruffling Amy's soft brown hair which matched his own, Amy nods rapidly

"Yeah, she took us out for smoothies and-" Amy went on and on and on for what must've felt like an eternity before he just simply shook his head and laughed, God how much he loved her

"Amy, sorry but you have to go now" Ben said suddenly walking over to Bloom before handing her off only for Amy to gain a sad look on her face

"But I wanted to stay with you" Amy says giving him the biggest puppy eyes she can which hurt honestly more than it should, but he made a promise and he's sticking to it, and luckily Bloom's there to help him out

"Amy, your daddy has a lot of things to do" Bloom said, making the small necrofriggian turned fairy look up at her. "But don't worry he'll come to visit one day" Bloom reassured making Amy sigh as she relented

"Well" Ben said suddenly letting out a deep sigh trying to steady his sudden growing nerves as he knew the moment he arrived at Melody things could either go really well or absolutely horrendous but still he made a promise to revive Musa's mother and he currently was having last minute doubts but, taking another deep breath to calm his nerves he opens his eyes filled with sudden determination

"Let's go Musa, we've got a ship to catch and a mother to revive"

 

A handful of hours later and Ben and Musa had finally arrived at Melody, Musa's homeworld and before long they were standing in front of her house but unfortunately, they began to have some…..complications

"I'm having doubts" Ben suddenly said ignoring the laughter coming from behind him which belonged to his lovely music fairy girlfriend

"C'mon Ben, it's not that hard just knock" Musa said placing both of her hands on his back before beginning to push but she finds it hard not noticing Ben had quite literally speaking, planted himself to the front steps as his feet had turned into Wildvine's vines planting him where he stood

"But Musa, I-" Ben begun to say only to hear an exasperated sigh as Musa comes from behind stepping around her scared boyfriend before reaching and knocking on the door

"Don't you 'Musa' me Ben, what's up with you, I've never seen you this nervous" Musa says with a sudden mix of worry and annoyance which quickly seems to fade as she notices the look in his eyes

"Sorry….It's just that well, with all the relationships I had before…..I never really met their parents as they would always…..cheat on me before I got the chance to" Ben admitted turning his gaze to the ground as he slowly returned his feet to normal not noticing Musa's expression change into one of anger

"What?!" Musa suddenly yelled outraged at what she had just been told only for the front open as both of the fairies turn to see Musa's father standing in front of them...God this was going to be difficult to explain

 

"You...Musa you genuinely believe this…." Ho-Boe looked angry while looking straight at Ben as the three were sitting at the kitchen table inside Musa's house

The two had been arguing for quite some time, with it only getting more and more heated as time went on with Ben just remaining quiet, not wanting to turn their anger towards him

"Dad. YOU. HAVE. TO. BELIEVE. HIM" Musa said pronouncing each and every word as she then looked at Ben before saying loudly "Ben, do it….NOW" Musa almost orders making Ben's eyes widen before he hurriedly activates the omnitrix scrolling through until he finds it, the alien he needs before slamming down the core not letting it even go fully up and immediately after the room is filled with green light

"What in the?" Boe's words stop shortly after as the light fades and standing there in the left side of their dining table is the celestialsapien Alien X

"There, now will you two stop arguing, it's giving us a headache and neither the 3 of us are quite pleased with the fact" Alien X says looking as if the night sky became a person as his fully green eyes turns to look at the two of them, his personality having changed noticeably and for some reason is using a lot of 'us' instead of me' or 'I' but she Musa decides not to say anything as X turns his head to look at Musa

"See, Dad" Musa says smugly staring at her father who quite can't believe what he is seeing as his racing thoughts are soon interrupted by said celestialsapien

"Like your daughter and my girlfriend has been trying to explain, Alien X grants us omnipotence or in simpler terms complete control over reality itself" X explains turning his head towards Boe making sure to use 'my' instead of the usual 'our' when his Alien X to indicate it's still Ben talking despite their being 3 personalities in the body soon after his mouthless face softens ever so slightly before he then says "Essentially we can bring your wife back to life, almost as if she never died to begin with"

"And now you understand why I've been trying to tell you to trust him" Musa says as Boe takes a few moments to gather his thoughts his eyes wandering as they land on a photo of himself with Musa and her mother that seemed to have been taken shortly after Musa's birth, as he finally makes his decision

"Well….I was wrong, but how will you go about it?" Boe asks before Alien X looks out the window snapping his fingers as Musa flinches slightly expecting something to happen, but nothing does as X just walks back and forward all the while staring at the window

Which is when Musa realizes that he's not really doing anything and is just his way of thinking which is...unusual as this is the first time he's ever done it, but soon after X puts a finger face where a mouth should be before drawing a thin line creating a mouth before giving them the most unsettling grin showing a mouthful of sharp teeth before he then spoke in his best attempt at a sinister voice

"It's simple really, but I'll explain on our way to the cemetery"

A/N: Ok....so I know you're all wondering what that section with Paradox and the alternate version of Ben was and let me tell you, so essentially, I decided to create a what-if spinoff where Ben never met the Winx and instead met a bunch of ponies.....yeah I honestly don't know what I was thinking but you can blame my sudden MLP hyperfixation

Oh, Also the next chapter is delayed by a few days as I work on the first chapter of 'My little...Alien?'

Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
