(Location: earth) (year : 2001)
As the scene comes into view we can see a 5-year-old darting through the halls of Bellwood Public Library, his face painted with a bright smile.
"Benjamin Kirby Tennyson! You stop running right now." , The sudden command froze him in place. With a nervous grin, he turned to face his mother, whose eyes softened despite her reprimand. "But Mom Ishiyama himself is signing today I need his autograph and i need more info on the story, how its gonna develop, how the characters are gonna change, what new upgrades-" and he kept rambling.
Her stern expression melted into a gentle smile."Okay Benji, but no more running you might trip and hurt yourself."
"Yes, Mom!" he chirped, his excitement bubbling over as he bounced in place.
As he dashed off again, she watched him with a bittersweet smile, a fleeting sadness clouding her eyes. Her heart ached as memories of old surfaced in her mind. A single tear slipped down her cheek, she quickly wiped it away and she steeled herself.

(First Person POV: Ben)
I've lost her, Great. That gives me about four minutes before she finds me again, now for a progress report how should i go about this...well being reincarnated is quite the experience it was quite disgusting being birthed but nothing that out of pocket compared to what some of the martial artists and fighers would do to gain strength but anyways so far playing the role of an eager child is easy and deflects any suspicion, also it seems i'm in an au of the ben 10 universe due to the absence of Ben's father and the thing I came here for along with other minor inconveniences whose names end with possible
The miraculous( thats why i'm here today) objects containing kwami which are basically gods and lucky for me there's a showing for one today not in the library obviously but in the museum across the street....shit i've got 3 minutes left, i gotta move."
Looking at the crowd in front of him he sighed "oh wow guess I got to get through them first.", suddenly from his left he heard a voice
"Man that's a lot of people, oh hi i'm max nice to meet you"
He glanced to his left in surprise then to his outstretched hand which he shook, beside him stood a boy with hair similarly brown as his and eyes almost black but noticeably brown if looked at in direct light. " I'm Ben nice to meet you as well so wheres your mom?"
"Shouldn't i be asking you that but anyways i ran away from her to explore, i'm new in town, gotta see the views ya know?, 'though i doubt we'll be here for long' " ( ' this is for thoughts, "this is for speech)
"Yeah right in Bellwood you'd be lucky to see a beaver try to cross the road, nothing fun happens around here this place is almost as bad as my aunt Veras' neighborhood it's so boring there that the only thing interesting is her food choices." Making a face as if he was gagging Ben dramatized the whole thing.
Hearing that max starting laughing uncontrollably almost falling over a stray book cart ." MAXWELL MCGRATH when I get my hands on you-"
"Oh no gotta split nice meeting you Ben hopefully i'll see you again bye" max said as he was getting swallowed by the crowd.
Waving dumbly Ben realized " oh great max steel as well how many worlds are fused here ,hopefully nothing containing beings that can kill alien x otherwise i'm cooked."
Anyways back to what i was originally thinking about the miraculouses contain hopefully its not a relavant one like the moth or peacock as there are some very interesting things I want to acquire that I can only acquire if things go according to plot as I am aware.'
You know I really need to work on my spatial awareness, bumping into people or getting snuck up on while thinking is not a good way to survive longer in a world like this I should be receiving an info package soon then I will be able to actually get this show started for now I need to continue my training regimen
"Im getting side tracked alright lets go-"
A sudden pressure on his shoulder gave him a pause looking back he saw his mom ' oh shit i'm outta time'
"Benji dear you ran off so fast, the signing is this way if we hurry we can still make it"
Dumbly nodding he thought 'sigh foiled yet again first it was meeting kim possible jr aka mini kim possible now its max steel how many people are going to get in my way of achieving ultimate power ' as tears ran down his face he cursed all the plot cliches he's gone through since his life has begun anew 'if only I knew this was gonna happen I would of just told her I wanted to go to the museum....you know what fuck this, neither fate and plot will stop me from having unlimited power fuck all other protags i am the only one of worth, this world will rue the day it crossed me for my name is Benjam-'
"Oh dear, there he goes again i hope he grows out of these internal monologues this can't be healthy." His mom says with a hand on her cheek
'Not helping mom'
