Functional Engines AU

What if Caesar fixed the research Pod engines faster? What if they were in better condition and only needed 3 minutes to repair?

Long so going under the cut

Rough Timeline Thus Far

Caesar comes out of the research pod to find his family dead, his life’s work destroyed, and the world in shambles. As in Canon, he tracks down the Rylander and with it the Omega Nanite.

There is an unfortunate meeting between Van Kliess and his freshly forming pack, but the two are able to get away due to Van Kliess still mastering his powers.

Breach remains curious about the strange man though, and ends up following him out of curiosity.

After some discussion with Rylander involving the Nanite event, Caesar realizes Rex may still be alive; and sets to tracking him.

This is around the Time that Six finds Rex (as in canon). The events of Promises, Promises occur as in canon until the Lab scene.

As Rex’s nanites begin to overload- a breach is detected by Providence.

The Molecular Disection Process isn’t started for a few more minutes as they are distracted by this new threat

Caesar (despite Rylander’s protests) enters Providence in the same way he does Mixed Signals

White Knight and Six continue fight (as in canon) ignoring orders until Dr. Kell sedates him

Holiday reaches the controls around the same time as Caesar (in his weird suit thing) does

She rushes past him to get Rex out of there as he gets to the dissection room

Upon entering the examination room, he goes from the unconcious- but stirring- mercenary to the Dr.Kell and White Knight, the former who is trying to further sedate his clearly distressed little brother

One can imagine his level of rage

After promptly using his devices to take out the two as he did with the other Provdience Agents, he sees Holiday grabbing Rex (as in Canon) and makes it up to the room where she’s doing a check up

Holiday explains the situation- and Caesar begrudgingly accepts this as she doesn’t appear to be happy with the situation any more than he is

Six comes up and suggests his earlier plan of hiding Rex

Caesar doesn’t really care- the quicker he can get Rex out of there the better- and six suggests a small town in southwest america

The signals are weird enough there that it keeps pinging on Providence’s radar, but nothing’s ever there

At this point they block the signals unless there is a direct call from one of the nearby military bases because of how often empty reports of strange people happen

Rex comes too at some point in the midst of this conversation and asks Six who the heck Caesar is

Thus his amnesia is brought up (maybe some set up for future exploring of earlier treatment bringing back some vague fuzzy memories for Rex as Caesar knows exactly what he’s working with??? Idk)

Wrapping up the details (Six and Holiday checking in and distracting Providence, where the location is, etc) Caesar takes Rex with him (who is surprisingly complacent about the whole thing once Caesar showed him some proof they were related)

Holiday and Six are left to clean up the mess as Bobo makes his own exit

Caesar gets Rex to the rescue pod and scares the h*** out of Rylander

Caesar and Rylander spend a good 4 hours checking everything before confirming Six wasn’t lying about the strange readings and how Rex and the Rescue Pod will barely be so much as a blip on the radar

And that’s how the three end up in BellWood

NOTE: this is with Reboot Ben 10; everything that happened over the summer is the same except

There’s obviously no Ben Gen 10.

Kevin and Ben’s are also trying to hide the fact that they’re the ones that can turn into aliens so they (and Ben’s family) don’t get bothered by others

Glitch is fully repaired and is adopted by Carl and Sandra

Kevin rebuilt the Antitrix and (with Glitch’s help) added some more upgrades

Sandra and Carl know about the Omnitrix and aren’t really happy about it

With that being said...

The Incruseans are at war with the DNAliens for new planets, and several have been destroyed

The Plumbers are playing both sides and helping no one

Many people have been forced to flee their home planets to avoid complete annihilation

Revonnah is only being protected by the Plumber’s for their Amber Ogia

The Tennyson’s are unaware of this

The kiddos are more focused on shifting gears to heroing in the summer to slaving away at the notebook

The schools surprised that Tennyson and Levin are getting along (they even have “friendship watches”)

Kevin tried to beat up the first kid who mentioned that

There’s a large amount of new kids at both Ben and Gwen’s school

Gwen has to show around a Mr. Blonko Rook

She initially thought he was trans as he mentioned that he had recently acquired his name

She quickly realizes that this kid is REALLY new and has no idea of the social nuances of the American middles school system

Rex was initially enrolled in Gwen’s school but was heavily suggested to be sent to the other school after a particularly interesting science class

Before that, he’d actually been doing fairly well and had befriended the redhead

Switching to Ben’s school, Rex met Noah and the two quickly clicked

Needless to say shenanigans ensue 

EVO’s are becoming an increasing problem people don’t know how to deal with

The Omnitrix goes a little wonky sometimes around them

It tries to repair the damaged DNA (like the DNAlien damage to Ken in Alien Force) but the Nanites keep activating more mutations to counteract it

Ben and Kevin find the best way to deal with the EVO’s is to lure them away from the City and book it before Providence arrives 

Luckily this doesn’t happen to often and that it does, Rex is generally close enough by to cure them himself

Glitch accidentally discover’s Rex is an Technopath when he used his driving service

This was a critical discovery, as Glitch can offload Rex’s excess Nanites with no har, to either himself or Rex.

They cause a minor “growth spurt” before settling amongst his own nanites

Rex figures out Ben and Kevin’s “secret” way before they figure out him

SIx and White Knight have been assigned to find the kid by the higher ups

Six is playing dumb, claiming that he was unconscious the entire time of Rex’s disappearance

He’s on thin ice, but is leading them astray anyways

Holiday sticks around purely for Beverly 

Also plays dumb saying that she was stuck in an EVO cage and only got out once the Armored Man (what the call Caesar) was leaving

Holiday quite providence (Bev is not an EVO) and has to spend a little while getting them off her tail before going to find Rex

Rex: why did I wake up wearing a leash?

Six: it was for your own safety

Six: you were doing backflips off street lamps

[raeseddon]

That awkward moment...

when you transmit your feels to another person to the point where they wake up with them the next day. 

I'm sorry Ruddy.

I just really, really, really love Noah and Rex okay?
