<!-- End of Time is the unknown episode of Ben 10: Omniverse written for Fanon Con's Writing Contest.

Plot Summary
At the peak of the Time War, Maltruant hires Eon to accomplish a task that would grant him a winning move but Eon goes over his head and attempts to wipe Ben from all of history.

Plot
The episode begins in a dark, red and apocalypsitic realm in time. At the destroyed remains of Mr. Smoothies, Maltruant is seen walking out of a portal in time.

Voice: What brings you to my realm, time walker?

Maltruant: I was just about to ask you the same question, Eon.

Eon walks out from behind the remains of a building.

Eon: Maltruant?

Maltruant: Surprised to see me, "old friend"?

Eon: Legend said you were destroyed.

Maltruant: And so I was. I tell you, Eon, it was a blur for eight seconds but I could have sworn it was fourity.

Eon: Despite your malfunction, what are you doing here?

Maltruant: I require something from you that would gain me the winning move to the long, lost time war.

Eon: Time War? Okay... What do you want?

Maltruant: ...Your assistance.

Omniverse Theme Plays.

After the titles, Maltruant and Eon are seen talking to each other.

Eon: So you want me to bring you...

Maltruant: Time Beast Eggs for the seventh time.

Eon: What exactly for these... er... "Time Beast Eggs" for exactly and how will they give us the winning move as you so claimed?

Maltruant: Patience, boy. What you rightfully deserve will come to you in time.

Eon: I know what you're getting at, Maltruant.

Maltruant, looking a bit worried: You do?

Eon: Yeah... Calling me boy.

Maltruant looks relieved.

Eon:  I'm not him, okay?

Maltruant: I never said that you were. But now that you mention it, you are, in fact, an alternate variation of the boy.

Eon: He has nothing to do with this.

Maltruant: On the contrary, Eon, he has everything to do with this. His timeline is so twisted around the Time War that even Paradox has lost track of it.

Eon: But the Time War's over now.

Maltruant: No. Not yet. This Time War will be over before its even begun.

Eon: I think I see what you're getting at but if that Tennyson kid is to be meddling around then we should handle him.

Maltruant: And you will but not now. You will bring me the eggs and then hatch them with your time manipulation abilities. Attempting to destroy the boy won't get us the winning move. The Time war is like a game of Chess, Eon.

Eon: And what are you? The King?

Maltruant: No... The Player. Now fetch me those eggs or the deal is off.

Eon looks upset and then flings open a portal in time in which he walks through it and vanishes along with the portal itself.

Maltruant: And there goes my pawn.

Meanwhile in Bellwood, at Mr. Smoothies, Ben and Rook are hanging out and enjoying their smoothies.

Rook: When do you think they'll ever come up with a new flavor of smoothie? I'm sure that people are getting tired of the traditional flavors as well as the reccently new one.

Ben, finishing slurping: Yeah well the people love grasshoppers apparently.

Rook: (sigh) Yes. Yes they do. Especially with the population increased with aliens.

Ben: Ah don't worry, partner. They'll come up with a new flavor later on in the future.

Rook: Well I believe I am what you would referred to as bored.

Ben: Yeah... Same. Wanna see what the Plumbers are up to?

Rook: In search of a new mission? I would be glad to.

Ben: Alright you get the car started.

Rook: And where are you off to?

Ben: Gonna go pick up an extra smoothie? Want something?

Rook: (sigh) I guess I will also get a grasshopper smoothie.

Ben: Be right back.

Ben goes over to the pay window of the establishment and talks to the employee there. He then grabs two smoothies and begins to walk away but then he looks down as if he had forgotten something. The Proto-Truck then pulls up and Rook gets out of the truck and looks at Ben approaching.

Ben: Is it just me or does this day seem to be dragging on and on?

Rook, taking smoothie: I almost wish some universe threatning colamity would occur to eidate this boredom.

Ben: Yeah, well, something's bound to happen sooner or later. It always does. Just give it some time.

Ben is about to take a sip of his smoothie when a green portal appears from behind him. As he turns around, Ben 10,000 appears from the portal.

Ben 10,000, walking forward: Ben. Where's Paradox? The Chronosapiens have gone rogue and Maltruant's temporal beasts are on a cross-dimensional rampage. This Time War is getting out of hand.

Ben: Time War? Awesome!

Ben 10,000: No. Not awesome.

Ben: Wow. Since when did I loose my sense of fun.

Ben 10,000: Since the Time War begun. It gets a little complicated after a good while.

Ben: Well I haven't seen Paradox in a long while actually not since well-

Ben 10,000: When you met me. I know. Time has been rewritten to a point where events that should have happen didn't which is why I thought that Paradox is here. That's because he was.

Ben: I'm sure he'll just pop up from behind any second now like he always does.

Ben 10,000: I'm afaird that it's not always that simple. Come. We have important matters to discuss.

Ben and Ben 10,000 walk into the time portal which closes behind. Rook then looks out in a confused state. Later on, in the future, both Bens exit the time machine in Ben's HQ.

Ben: Whoa... The Future.

Ben 10,000: More like the present for me.

Ben: So how are things in the future anyways?

Ben 10,000: Like Paradox would say: "Spoilers". But things aren't doing all so well which is why I need your help or my help. Still not quite as used to the whole time travel stuff. Come on.

Ben follows Ben 10,000 into the corridors of the HQ. They later reach the command center.

Ben: Oh you've redecorated. I don't like it.

Ben 10,000: I only moved some computers around. Glad you remembered.

Ben: So how exactly do I help out? I mean, I'm you. Surely you remember what I've been through, right?

Ben 10,000: Like I said before, time is twisting and turning. Things that you go through can alter your future which is, well, me.

Ben: What's this about Maltruant and his temper-or-all erm... can't we just call them Time Beasts?

Ben 10,000: Nevermind that. Eon is more important.

Ben: Eon? What's he doing here?

Ben 10,000: It's Time Travel. Why wouldn't he be here? Eon has been striking different points in our timeline. Apparently, Paradox fixed the resolution between you and our younger self but I doubt that would stop him.

Ben: What's his next move?

Ben 10,000: He's going to travel further back along our timeline until he suceeds in destroying us from history.

Ben: Okay so what's the plan?

Ben 10,000: The plan was to get Paradox but he's been away for a while forcing me to build a time machine of my own design and travel back in time to fight in the Time War but things aren't doing so good unless we alter time itself. (notices Ben) Um, are you alright?

Ben: Fine. Just getting a time travel headache.

Ben 10,000: Don't worry. You start dealing with it around my age.

Ben: Okay so why don't we stop Eon from messing with my events that didn't happen in the first place. Then Eon won't try to go back in time from your point of view.

Ben 10,000: What you are suggested is risky and might just cause a paradox.

Ben: We can't alter something that doesn't exist.

Ben 10,000: Hm... Good point. But we seriously need Paradox for this. My time machine won't be able to enter an event that didn't occur.

Professor Paradox, walking into the open: Oh but they did occur. They were just rewritten. What you're asking me to do is to take you two back to a point where it was written and change those events before they get rewritten. It seem generally impossible.

Ben: But you can do it, right?

Professor Paradox: Well of course I can. But let this be a warning, Benjamin, I do not advise you to medel with your own timeline.

Ben: I was just enjoying a smoothie.

Professor Paradox: I was referring to your older variation.

Ben 10,000: You wouldn't answer.

Professor Paradox: Yes sorry about being late but I had important matters to attend to and it seems that you didn't need my help after all until now of course. Anyways, let's be on our way. There isn't much time.

Professor Paradox then opens a time portal in which the three of them enter. Back in time, again to Mr. Smoothies, XLR8 is seen running from a few time blasts until he stops in front of the sign.

XLR8: Seriously? (avoids blast) Your name is Eon? Like E-Yawn (immitates a yawn) (escapes time blasts)

Eon: Your juvinille taunts won't save you, Ben Tennyson

XLR8, running past him: Save me from what? You can't even lay a figure on me.

Eon: I don't have to. Time is on my side.

Ben: Think again, Eon!

Eon turns around and sees a blue time portal appear and the two Bens and Paradox emerge.

Eon: Paradox! What have you done?

Professor Paradox: I was just about to ask you the same question.

Ben 10,000: It's over, Eon.

Eon: Oh but its just beginning.

Eon fires a time blast at the three but Ben 10,000 activates his Biomnitrixes and transforms into Atomic-X. He then takes the hit and falls over. Ben activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Astrodactly.

Astrodactly: Astrodactly? Rah. Now we're talking.

Astrodactly flies out and tackles Eon. Now carrying him, Astrodactly flings Eon into the Mr. Smoothies sign which then falls over above XLR8 who looks up. XLR8 then runs out of the way and over to the Rustbucket. Astrodactly lands by XLR8.

XLR8: Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Astrodactly: Rah! Saving your butt.

XLR8: Whoever you are, I'm the hero, here.

Astrodactly: And people say I'm self-centered.

Atomic-X and Eon are seen dueling. Eon then draws his energy sword and slashes at Atomic-X who is defending himself with his arms. He lowers his arms then charges up.

Professor Paradox, next to Astrodactly and XLR8: You two might want to head for cover.

Astrodactly and XLR8 look at each other and then spilt. XLR8 makes it to the back of the RV quickly and Astrodactly flies overhead. Atomic-X then releases a green blasts at Eon which destroys a lot of things behind him. Astrodactly is caught in the blast and is blasted into the ground. Atomic-X's Biomnitrixes then time out and then he transforms back into Ben 10,000. Nothing is seen where Eon was standing.

Ben 10,000, turning around: Is everyone alright?

XLR8's Omnitrix times out and he transforms back into 11-Year Old Ben. Young Ben then goes over to the hole in the parking lot and sees Teen Ben is there waking up.

Young Ben: Whoa... Are you alright?

Ben: Fine. Just aching. A lot.

Ben then climbs out of the hole and looks at Young Ben.

Young Ben, examining Ben: Do I know you? You look sort of familiar.

Ben: I should think so. I'm you. Six years into the future.

Young Ben: You're kidding.

Ben: Who else would have a cool but sometimes stupid alien watch? (Shows Omnitrix)

Professor Paradox: As much fun as this reunion has been, we haven't gotten much time.

Young Ben: But we won, right? That purple time dude is gone.

Professor Paradox: On the contrary, he's only shifted between time to escape the blast which makes this event more complicated.

Ben 10,000, approaching the group: So what happens now, Paradox?

Professor Paradox: Now we must follow Eon into teenage Ben's timeline and stop him there before he shifts again through time and we loose him.

Young Ben: But how do we know he went back to the future?

Ben 10,000: Because it happened before.

Later on, in the present, Diamondhead is seen ramming into a pick up truck. Diamondhead then turns around and faces Eon at Mr. Smoothies.

Diamondhead: What? No weird time beams or whatever? Not your usual style, Eon.

Eon: The only ever predicitable about me is that I'm unpredictable. (draws energy sword)

Eon strikes at Diamondhead but Diamondhead defends himself with his arm.

Diamondhead: Unpredictable buttlame. (Draws arm blade) Now this is a sword.

The two engage in an apparent sword fight until Eon pushes Diamondhead back which causes his Omnitrix to time out and transform back into Ben.

Eon: Aha! Just what I was waiting for.

Ben 10,000, unseen: Hold it right there, Eon.

Eon turns around and the three Bens and Paradox emerge from the blue time portal.

Ben: Is that... me?

Eon: You won't stop me this time, time walker!

Eon grabs Ben's Omnitrix and it begins to spark green. Ben then runs away from the group and grabs hold of Eon's hand; trying to release it. Within a flash, Ben is thrown back into the ground. He gets up and looks at himself.

Ben: Hey, nothing happened.

Eon: NOOO! You ruined my plan!

Ben: Wait what? Where's the other me?

Professor Paradox: Eon's plan was to switch the minds of you and your past self but since we intruppted both parts in the timestream,-

Ben 10,000: The event never occured.

Young Ben: So whatever happens now-

Ben: -is history.

Eon: At least I have an advantage into destroying you, Ben Tennyson.

Ben: Wasn't that your goal this whole time?

Eon: This little distraction would have summoned Paradox to my side in which I would take his Chrono-Navigator and take control of the timelines.

Professor Paradox: And if you would have listened to me the first time, you won't be able to control it.

Eon: It makes no difference. I will accomplish my task by destroying Ben 10.

Ben 10,000: I don't think so, Eon.

Ben 10,000 activates his Biomnitrixes but Eon fires a time ray at them causing him to transform into Heatjaws.

Heatjaws: Heatjaws? I haven't had an accidental transformation in years.

Professor Paradox: Your Biomnitrixes must have malfunctioned with the temporal distrubition of Eon's blasts.

Young Ben: Doesn't mean I'm out of the game. It's Hero Time!

Young Ben activates his Omnitrix and undergoes a transformation sequence. He transforms into Diamondhead.

Diamondhead: Diamondhead? But I wanted Four Arms.

Heatjaws: Diamondhead is immune to time rays.

Diamondhead: Is he? I mean of course he is.

Diamondhead fires diamond projectiles at Eon who blocks them with his temporal shield. Diamondhead engages in battle with Eon who duels him with his energy sword. However, Eon easily defeats him.

Eon: I've done this before, Tennyson, except you're much younger and far too unexperienced. Destroying you would destroy them all. So I'll be sure to do it nice and slow.

Heatjaws then fires a fireblast at Eon which throws him into a car. Heatjaws then falls over.

Ben: What's wrong with you?

Heatjaws: Water...

Ben looks around and then activates the Omnitrix. He transforms into Water Hazard. He then sprays Heatjaws with water.

Water Hazard: Better?

Heatjaws, breathing it in: Like a breath of fresh air.

Eon then climbs out of the car and fires serveal time rays.

Heatjaws, noticing: Get back! (stands in the way and gets shot) AHH!

Heatjaws then disintergrates into dust in which Ben 10,000 falls out of.

Diamondhead then goes to Ben 10,000. Water Hazard then times out and turns back into Ben and then Diamondhead times out and turns back into Young Ben.

Both Bens: Aw man...

Eon: Victory is mines.

Professor Paradox: Ben, prehaps its time to transform into Clockwork.

Ben: Right. Good idea.

Professor Paradox: I was referring to your younger counterpart?

Young Ben: Clockwork? What type of name is that?

Ben: I didn't unlock Clockwork at that age.

Professor Paradox: No but your future self did.

Ben 10,000: Right.

Ben 10,000 grabs hold of Young Ben's Omnitrix and adjusts the dials. Eon approaches with his blade ready. Young Ben's Omnitrix then gains a shillochute of Clockwork.

Ben 10,000: There. Unlocked. Now let's do this thing.

All three Bens ready themselves and face against Eon.

All Bens: It's Hero Time!

They slap down their Omnitrixes/Biomnitrixes and transform into Clockwork except for Ben 10,000 who transformed into Clockgrade. They all then fire green time beams at Eon from their chests, with the addition of Clockgrade's hands too. Eon is then blasted.

Eon, being blasted: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eon is then vanishes within a bright flash. All of the trixes then time out and transform their respective owners back into Humans.

Professor Paradox: And then there were three.

Young Ben: Alright! We did it!

Ben: Awesome!

Ben 10,000: Oh yeah! Nice work, mes.

Professor Paradox: Yes, now that Eon is sent back into his dark realm of time, I shouldn't think he would try to do this again.

Ben: What about us? We're not from the same time zone or whatever.

Professor Paradox: Leave that to me. Time will become rewritten which means-

Young Ben: I won't remember any of this.

Ben 10,000: Smart kid.

Professor Paradox: Yes. Very smart indeed. Well we must be off, Young Master Tennyson and my dear friend, Benjamin.

Ben 10,000: Whatever happened to Ben 10K?

Ben 10,000 and Paradox enter the portal. Young Ben is about to enter but then turns around looks at Teen Ben.

Young Ben: Y'know you're not what I expected to be in the future.

Ben: Oh...

Young Ben: But you're just as good.

Ben: (smiles) See ya.

Young Ben: And I guess I'm gonna be ya.

Young Ben then enters the temporal portal which then disappears. Ben then sees his smoothies on a table and decides to take them. As he walks away from Mr. Smoothies, the Proto-Truck arrives. Rook then exits the Proto-Truck and looks at Ben approaching.

Ben: Is it just me or those this day seem to go on an on?

Meanwhile, in the dark dimension in time, Eon appears and is thrown into the ground in front of Maltruant.

Maltruant: You fool!

Eon: Forgive me.

Maltruant: You had one task to accomplish and you failed me. Now the events in which the Time War transpired has been altered by your medeling.

Eon: I can fix it.

Maltruant: There is no need to fix what is beyond repair. Bring me the eggs and all will go to plan.

Eon: What about Ben? I have altered his timeline.

Maltruant: It matters not. The timeline is still in sync. I have taken away Paradox's winning piece and now its time to get mines.

Maltruant looks into a temporal portal showing Ultimate Ben's timeline. This is also being viewed on a watch screen on a suit of armor. Spanner is seen looking at it.
