THANK YOU FREN!!!!

Don't get her wrong, she loves having Destiny's Embrace, but let's face it, it's frilly and pretty and delicate-looking when everyone else gets default Keyblades that are cool or intimidating or at least practical. Dealing with that on top of how the narrative treats her is kind of Not Great!

So she finds out that there's a new girl joining the ranks and she's rich and into fashion and she got her Keyblade while being put through the Damsel in Distress Treatment and Kairi figures she'll actually have someone to commiserate with on this bullshit-

-and then Tulip comes in lugging around a fully functional engine block!

What if, since Trinity was designed to look like a combination of Hyrule's Three Golden Goddesses, she technically counts as a Fusion despite being created that way to begin with.

And as a result, she has the unique ability to "de-fuse" into three new Programs with designs that resemble the Oracle/Minish Cap versions of Farore, Din and Nayru. All three of them are still her, but each one has a couple of her personality traits exaggerated slightly to correspond with their respective Triforce piece.

Since they're supposed to be one person they prefer not to stay split up for long.

(And yes, she can also have just one of them split off for three unique duo mixes. The first time she tried this did not go well, Power and Courage without Wisdom is a bad combo when you aren't prepared for it)

You know that one evil superpowered Ztar that SMG3 and Bowser made waaaaaay back in the classic era that showed up like twice and was completely forgotten about despite not really properly being defeated?

Well, what if it managed to defeat the Old Man Star (since all the stars it had absorbed made it significantly more powerful even if the Star was at least enough to drive it to the edge of the universe) and it kept accumulating power sources on its long trek back, only for one of those sources to be some kind of Code Stuff, which caused it to be elevated into a full-on Virus...... and then the instability from its Toad side made the ascension go wonky and scramble its memories to the point where it was essentially an entirely new person who occasionally gets weird completely-out-of-context flashbacks to A Time Before.

This new person turns out to be nothing like the world-destroying eldritch horror they were before, instead being a kind and caring sort who only wishes to help others (in spite of how they're viewed and treated due to being a Virus), and they decided the best way to do that would be to study psychology, unknowingly following in their creator's footsteps.

Fast forward to today, they're a fully licensed therapist, somehow a Moderator despite being a Virus, and are more than qualified for a promotion to Admin but due to their nature there's obviously a lot of pushback from the council.

Considering the SMG department desperately needs therapy and has a reputation for accumulating the misfits and rejects of the Code World, you can probably see where this is going.

Due to some of the Omnitrix's safety features he can't initiate fusions while transformed, but for some reason the resulting fusions can still use the Omnitrix. If it's with a human (or at least something close enough like a Hylian) they'll become a Fusion of two of the selected alien, and if they split the other person will stay that species until Ben changes back to human.

Meanwhile if he's fused with someone distinctly non-human and transforms they'll stay their original species and the Fusion will become a Hybrid. But like, a "greater than the sum of their parts" type of Hybrid like when Programs with extremely different models and abilities fuse, not the standard Ben 10 half-and-half looks-cool-but-is-actually-ass type of Hybrid.

The first developed organically after Worm was defeated the first time and it became safe for Programs to gather in large numbers, and after a while the server they were using for it wasn't large or powerful enough to do everything they needed it to and they had to give it a complete overhaul.

The second iteration was destroyed by Zer0 during the period of time between his creation and his arrival in Spudnick's world.
