Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Framed
The Tennysons were waiting in line at a video game store in San Francisco for a new Sumo Slammers game. Gwen tapped her foot impatiently as the twins looked excitedly at the line.
"We've been standing in this line for two hours and it hasn't budged an inch!" Gwen whined.
"It's a small price to pay for Sumo Slammers 2.1," Ben said as Jen had her headphones in, listening to This Everyday Love by Rascal Flatts. "I'd do anything to get this game. Even if it means being seen in public with you."
"Don't you already have this stupid video game?" Gwen asked Ben.
"Uh, hello? This is Sumo Slammers 2.1! You can change your fighter's color at any point during the match," Ben explained. "Duh."
"You know, there's a nice air-conditioned book store over there," Max suggested. "Maybe we could wait a bit until this line thins out a bit?"
"And lose our place?" Jen asked. "Not an option."
"You two go," Ben said. "We'll get our game and meet you back at the RV."
Max and Gwen then turned to leave for the store before Max turned back towards the twins.
"Want us to pick up anything for you from the book store?" Max asked.
"I'm on summer vacation. Why would I read anything?" Ben asked as Jen rolled her eyes with a smirk.
"Could you pick me up The Martian?" Jen asked.
"You got it, kiddo," Max said as he and Gwen left.
Later, Max and Gwen left the store, having picked up their items, and walked back to the game store.
"So, you think the twins have gone stir crazy in that line yet?" Gwen asked.
Suddenly, they heard a loud crashing sound as people ran away screaming out of the game store as a loud explosion rang out and Four Arms ran out of the store with a savage growl on his face, only a slightly more pale shade of red than normal and no Omnitrix symbol on his shoulder.
A police car came driving up with the siren running towards Four Arms, but he grabbed the squad car and shook it upside down, sending the cops sprawling out on to the road.
"Uh, why is Ben going berserk and tossing around police officers?" Gwen asked.
"Good question," Max said. "And where's Jen?"
Four Arms growled and tossed the car at the screen as the officers ran away.
A news helicopter ran in as they saw Four Arms as he tossed several debris at police cars including a street light, a section of the building that was severed, mailboxes, you name it, it was probably destroyed.
"This just in," the reporter said while the camera recorded the fight. "This has been going on for weeks now. The male member of the Omni Twins has gone rogue. Just like in several cities all across the country, he has laid waste in ways too numerous to mention. And beyond that, there is still not a word from his sister or if she's involved with his schemes in any way."
The police set up a protective barrier around the perimeter as Four Arms continued demolishing everything in sight.
"He must have snapped his cap!" Gwen exclaimed. "All this for a video game?"
"I don't believe it," Max said in awe. "What's Jen going to say when she finds this out?"
Several more police cars showed up, only for Four Arms to toss more abandoned cars at them, sending them sprawling into a fire hydrant/building, completely destroyed.
Then, a large black armored truck pulled up in front of the crime scene as a man walked out, wearing an army badge on his black and green vest, green cargo pants and a shaved flat top and a long scar on his face.
"Lieutenant Steele," he introduced himself and showed his badge, showing his section. "Special Alien Containment Team. We'll take it from here. Concussion bazooka!"
Two soldiers walked out, carrying a large yellow bazooka that was strapped to one's chest that he carried out towards Four Arms.
"That doesn't look good," Max said.
Gwen immediately stomped towards who seemed to be her rampaging cousin and glared at him as he picked up a car.
"Ben, what are you doing?! Does Jen know about this?!" she asked as Four Arms said nothing and proceeded to smash the car on top of her, only for the S.A.C.T. soldiers to fire the bazooka at them, causing Gwen to quickly duck out of the way as Four Arms was blasted into the remains of a pizza store.
He then came out, completely unscathed as he carried the dislodged furnace from the store and tossed it at the truck, resulting in a huge explosion before he jumped away from the scene as everyone looked on in horror.
"There must be some kind of logical explanation for this, right?" Max asked.
They looked on the carnage as a familiar figure as she stood on a rooftop with her arms crossed, her black ponytail flowing in the wind as she glared.
"That does it. This monster is no brother of mine. He must go down or else this country, possibly the world will suffer for it. But I'm not the one who needs to clear my name right now."
Back at the Rust Bucket, Gwen and Max marched inside, angry looks on their faces as the twins were chilling, playing their new video games as Jen played on her PS Vita with a smile.
"Oh, you think you can beat me, Thor? Not on my watch!" she said with a determined look on her face.
"Are you demented?!" Gwen shouted as they looked up from their games. "Going alien just to get a stupid video game?"
"What are you talking about?" Ben asked, legitimately confused.
"Going Four Arms in front of that store, that's what!" Gwen shouted as Jen gained a confused look on her face.
"Um, I was with him the whole time we were there, cuz," Jen said. "And he never went alien. Trust me, if he did, I'd know about it."
"Now I'm sure they have a good explanation," Max said. "Don't you, Ben?"
"Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about," Ben said, going back to his game as Jen looked up.
"We don't need an explanation for something that didn't happen," Jen said.
"Oh sure!" Gwen scoffed. "Just like you never put an empty milk bottle back in the refrigerator or you never leave the shower all gunked up or you never ever leave the toilet seat up in the middle of the night! You never do anything wrong, do you?!"
"Sounds about right," Ben smirked.
The twins then saved their games and turned them off before turning to their grandfather and cousin.
"Look, Gwen," Jen said. "I don't know where you got this idea that Ben went on a rampage or something. But even if he did, how would I not know about it? We're twins! We're as inseparable as it gets! We go everywhere together, do everything together."
"Besides," Ben said. "You have no evidence I did anything wrong."
Gwen's eyes then shot to the remote and she turned on the Channel 4 news to show the attack Four Arms caused at the store. "Oh yeah?"
Jen then stumbled backwards, falling to the floor in shock before she recovered and looked on at the grizzly scene before her as she gasped and put her hands to her mouth.
"That's not me!" Ben gasped.
"I don't get it!" Jen said. "This is impossible!"
"Oh no?" Gwen asked, folding her arms. "I'm sure it's just some other four-armed alien going postal in front of a video game store!"
"Gwen," Max sighed.
"It's possible," Ben suggested. "Remember when Tetrax turned out to be a good guy?"
"In fact, all the alien species in the Omnitrixes live out in the universe somewhere," Jen said. "He didn't do it. He would never do that!"
"That's true," Max said. "Besides, Ben wouldn't be so irresponsible with his alien powers like that."
"Grandpa, please," Gwen said.
"Alright, maybe you've got a point there," Max admitted before the twins stood up.
"No one is going to ruin the Omni Twins reputation except for the Omni Twins themselves," Jen said as she and her brother stormed out of the Rust Bucket to investigate.
Back at the crime scene, damage control was still cleaning up the imposter Four Arms' wreckage and the destroyed squad cars being carried away as Ben picked up a brick and the twins looked at the wreckage, folding their arms.
Gwen and Max walked over as Gwen scoffed. "Criminals always return to the scene of the crime."
"Will you give it a rest, Gwen?" Ben asked. "We're trying to solve a mystery."
"Not to be rude, but what do you expect to find that everyone else couldn't?"
Suddenly, Jen felt something pulse in her brain as she turned her shoulder and saw the imposter Four Arms out of the corner of her eye before he disappeared behind a corner.
"That's him!" she shouted as she showed Ben the corner and the two ran off, giving chase as they entered the alleyway before activating their Omni Suits and chasing towards him while Jen tossed energy bolts at him, which either missed or did nothing at all.
"Stop! Imposter!" Ben shouted.
The chase continued before they lost sight of him while looking everywhere before Ben spotted him going into the roof of the San Francisco Mint.
"The mint!" Jen realized. "He's going to steal the money and blame you for it!"
"Let's get him!" Ben shouted as they used their enhanced reflexes from their armors to parkour their way up to the roof, with Gwen and Max continuing to give chase, the latter running out of breath due to his older age.
"Who said retirement was relaxing?"
Gwen and Max ran inside the mint, which was still printing out money about to be shipped out for countrywide circulation, with no aliens or twins inside.
"Are you sure he went in here?" Max asked.
They then heard an explosion from one of the corners. They then looked over to see Heatblast (still with no Omnitrix symbol) cornering two security guards. He fired his heat beam upwards and destroyed one of the balconies as the metal rained down on the guards.
"Okay, I was willing to give him one, but two offense aliens terrorizing San Francisco?" Gwen asked, furious. "That can't be a coincidence. I'm stopping this now!"
She then ran over as Max face-palmed that his granddaughter was about to be barbecued. Little did they know that a familiar figure stood in the shadows and glared at the scene.
"Hey, hot head!" she shouted, gaining Heatblast's attention. "Back off the fireworks before somebody gets really hurt! Now if you take responsibility for all the whacko stuff you've been doing, I'm sure that we can help you.'
That was when the twins dorpped down from the rafters and got their game faces on as they looked in shock at the imposter Heatblast.
"I knew it!" Jen shouted.
"Gwen!" Ben shouted, concerned.
"Not now, dweeb!" Gwen shouted. "Can't you see I gotta deal with..." She trailed off once she realized who spoke and she looked behind her. "Ben? So who are you?"
"Me?" the imposter Heatblast asked as he smirked. "I'm a hottie, can't you tell?"
Heatblast fired his heat beam at Gwen before Ben transformed into Diamondhead and blocked it.
"So do you believe me now?" Diamondhead asked as Gwen nodded her head nervously.
"You and Grandpa everyone out of here now!" Jen shouted. "We'll handle this copycat."
Jen tossed several energy bolts out from her hands and Ben fired several crystals at Heatblast as Max and Gwen led the security guards out of the mint as Jen backflipped and transformed into Needle Mouse and fired several quills from her arms, while the impostor disappeared from view in a puff of smoke.
"I don't know who you are, but you're giving the Omni Twins a bad name, buster!" Needle Mouse shouted.
"Then why don't you go cry about it?" Heatblast's voice sounded from around them. "Or are you going to go run and tell on me to your Grandpa Max or that cute smartmouth cousin of yours?"
He then fired a heatray at a container above them, making change rain down on them and bury them under it as they stuck their heads out weakly as he smirked at them.
"Hey! It's raining money!"
"Who are you?" Diamondhead asked.
Suddenly, they heard a voice cry out from the shadows as she ran in and tackled Heatblast while covered in an armored skin of silver as she glared and beat him down before he blasted her off of him before she slid backwards, sparks flying from her feet as she backed up and showed her face to Needle Mouse and sighed in relief.
"Hey, Jenny," she said.
"Allison?" Needle Mouse asked with a gasp.
"In the flesh... or silver, so to speak," she said before turning to the impostor. "This game has gone on long enough Kevin! It's time for you to stop!"
"Kevin?!" Diamondhead gasped as Heatblast rolled his eyes before he shifted his head to Stinkfly to Diamondhead to Upgrade and finally to the familiar face of the vigilante from New York.
"Hey, partner."
"I don't get it," Needle Mouse said, shaking her head. "I thought you were drained of all Ben's powers back at the bridge in New York."
"That's what you get for thinking, Jenny," Kevin smirked. "It turns out that I absorbed enough of that weird watch energy so I could transform into any of those aliens inside if I just concentrated hard enough. Only problem is I can only stay human for a short time."
"And I've been trailing him across the country ever since," Allison explained. "Hitchhiking, bus rides, you name it. I've spent the last month tracking him here to San Francisco where we finally found you two because you're who he was looking for."
"Why?" Diamondhead asked.
"Revenge," Kevin said. "You made me this freak, Benji."
"Oh, so this is all his fault?" Needle Mouse asked. "Who's idea was it to drain out all the powers of the Omnitrixes? Not ours."
"I don't care," Kevin said. "So now it's payback time, partner. Everything 50-50. I do the crime, and you'll do the time."
"And what about me, Kevin?" Needle Mouse asked. "Ben and I are a package deal. You can't transform into my aliens, so it's not like you can frame me for any crimes."
"Your pain at having your brother rot away in prison with you on the outside is revenge enough for me. And if my sister was wise, she'd join me."
"Forget it. No brother of mine would ever stoop so low."
"Then you're going down too, big sis," Kevin glared as he cracked his knuckles.
"You'll never get away wit this," Diamondhead said. "Your kind never does."
"Wrong! You'll never get away with this! I'm not me, I'm you! Remember?"
That was when S.A.C.T. burst through the mint's windows, catching the attention of our heroes before Kevin blasted them with a heat ray, sending them tumbling into the pile of cash as Allison pocketed one of the quarters before they all looked to the vigilante.
"Keep the change. You can use it to pay your bail." Kevin then focused and transformed into Stinkfly. "Gotta fly." He then flew away, bursting through the window, leaving the others in the mint as they were surrounded by S.A.C.T. soldiers as Needle Mouse put her paws up in the air in surrender.
"I'm too young for the big house!" she whimpered.
That was when Lt. Steele walked up to them, shaking his head.
"Well, well, well. Looks like both of the Omni Twins are in on the action. Well, I hate to break it to you, but there will be no unauthorized withdrawals on my part."
"My brother's innocent! It was just some poser doing all of those crimes! He just got away! We're the good guys here, sir!" Needle Mouse insisted.
"They're telling the truth!" Allison said.
"Yeah, sure you are. Just like those other alien friends of yours that have been all over the news nowadays. No sale, you two. To me, you're just an overgrown hedgehog and a walking chandelier."
"Those other aliens we fought are not our friends!" Diamondhead said.
"They're telling the truth, officer," Gwen said as she and Max walked up. "There was another alien who-"
"I don't try 'em, kid. I just catch 'em, no matter who they are under the skin. We'll let the guys at Area 51 decide who's naughty and who's nice. Chicago, Tallahassee, Barstow; you and your alien pals have been keeping me real busy. But you're not getting away with it this time."
"This time?" Diamondhead asked.
"Long story," Allison whispered.
"Less talking, more escaping!" Needle Mouse squeaked out as she and Diamondhead readied their quills/crystals before firing them in both directions, embedding them into the S.A.C.T. soldier's blasters, causing them to explode as they along with Allison made a break for it to escape, dodging the blaster's fire as they ducked for cover.
"Get those things!" Lt. Steele shouted as his soldiers moved in.
Our heroes ducked for cover before Allison noticed a laser pointer aimed at her friend's chest before she gasped, absorbed the silver from the quarter she picked up and leaped in front of her to block the laser blast.
"Thanks," Needle Mouse smiled.
"My pleasure, Jenny," Allison said as the twins fired a flurry of crystals and quills at the balcony that the soldiers that fired the blast were, severing it and causing the soldiers to fall to the ground.
Diamondhead then noticed Lt. Steele and the other soldiers running up. He then punched his hands to the ground, blocking their path with a wall of crystal.
The determined Lieutenant walked around the wall to notice his three targets climbing up a ladder to make their escape. He then signaled his two soldiers to block their path on either side.
The twins and Allison made their way to the top of the ladder onto the balcony when their Omnitrixes started beeping down. They looked to see the remaining soldiers approaching them from one side and Lt. Steele blocking the other side as he reached for his holstered blaster
"Any ideas?" Diamondhead asked.
"Yeah," Allison said. "Jump."
"What?" Needle Mouse asked.
"You have any other ideas?"
"When you put it that way..." Diamondhead whispered as they leaped off of the balcony and ducked for cover.
One of the soldiers was looking for them when a flash of red and purple light shined out. He then turned the corner and drew his blaster to see the twins feigning a cower in fear as they ducked their heads.
"Ah! Don't hurt us!" Ben shouted.
"Are those monsters gone?" Jen asked as they held each other.
The soldiers holstered their weapons as the twins smirked in mischief and Allison ducked her way out of the mint.
Lt. Steele and the soldiers escorted the twins out of the mint when Gwen came running up and she hugged them with a smile.
"Thank goodness you found them!" she said. "We were so worried. They're always running away. We're considering getting leashes."
Lt. Steele then noticed the Omnitrixes on the twins wrists, catching his attention. "Nice watches. Never seen anything like 'em."
"Yeah, they're from..." Ben began.
"Japan!' Jen lied, quickly chipping in as her brother nodded along with her.
"No sign of those aliens or that girl, sir," a soldier said, walking up. "It's like those things just vanished into thin air."
"And I don't suppose you four know anything about those aliens?"
"Only that their the two coolest superheros in the country!" Ben said.
"The Omni Twins rule!" Jen smiled. "Especially the girl."
"Hey, the boy has the girl beat by a long shot," Ben smiled as the two winked to each other.
"Believe me, if we saw them, we'd tell you," Max said.
"Yeah, of course you would," Lt. Steele said as the Tennysons left. He then turned to one of his soldiers with a stern glance. "Keep an eye on 'em. They know more than they're saying."
Later on, the Rust Bucket picked up Allison after she came out of her hiding place and the twins had a meeting with her.
"It was Kevin at both the video game store and the mint," Ben said. "They were set-ups."
"It was all for revenge on us," Jen said as Gwen searched recent events on her laptop.
"That would explain a lot," Max said. "I knew it wasn't you, Ben. I don't mean to offend you, Allison, but your brother is missing a couple of paddles."
"No offense taken, Max," Allison said. "Besides, that monster isn't any brother of mine."
"But why does that alien S.W.A.T. team guy think all aliens are bad?" Ben asked. "Hasn't he seen the Omni Twins on the news?"
"Looks like some personal experience," Gwen said as she showed them the news articles she found. "Your friend's been busy, Ben. And not just here in San Francisco. Wildmutt terrorizing Tallahassee, Ripjaws in Chicago, Ghostfreak in Barstow."
"Ben's going to get blamed for all that stuff!" Jen realized.
"And I didn't do any of it!" Ben added.
"Can anybody say ironic?" Gwen asked as they heard screaming.
They looked out the window to see a trolley full of passengers with Upgrade's pattern on it speeding past them down the hill they were parked on as Allison face-palmed.
"Kevin!" Jen glared.
"The boy must have gone Upgrade to hijack that cable car," Max realized.
"Anything he can upgrade, I can upgrade better," Ben said, slamming his Omnitrix down, turning himself into...
"Wildmutt?" Gwen asked. "Nice choice, fido."
The Vulpinmancer just growled at her, annoyed.
"I'll meet you guys down at the bottom of the hill," Jen said, slamming her Omnitrix core down and transforming into Frostblight before flying down the hill to the bottom.
Wildmutt then pounced out of the RV with Allison riding on him as he chased the trolley.
Little did they know, the S.A.C.T. soldiers saw them leave.
"Mobile 1, a wild dog alien with that girl riding on him and an ice pixie alien just emerged from that RV. Now both them and the liquid metal alien are headed down California St."
"Maintain visuals. I'm on my way."
The passengers in the trolley were panicking as the driver tried to engage the brakes, only for Kevin's eye to appear in the trolley's frame.
"Now why are you doing that?" he asked. "We're just starting to have fun!"
He let out several tendrils and ripped the brakes out of the frame and tossed it out of the window as the trolley sped downwards.
Frostblight finally reached the bottom of the hill as she saw the trolley approaching.
"Let's do this," she said before inhaling a deep breath and let out a super cold gust of air, freezing an ice wall on the end of the boardwalk to stop the trolley to stop the trolley in its tracks should Wildmutt and Allison fail to stop it.
The traffic stopped as the trolley sped downwards and Wildmutt and Allison bounced on top of it as they followed it.
"Ben, just get us in close enough to stop the trolley!" Allison said as she fingered the materials in her pockets.
Once Wildmutt reached a close enough distance, he leaped off and Allison absorbed the discarded Diamondhead crystal's material before they landed on the cable car.
Soon enough, they passed by an antique shop with Chinese writing on it and a young Asian girl wearing an orange sweatshirt saw the whole thing out the window as the Rust Bucket passed by with her on it.
"Hey, Uncle Jackie, I just saw an orange dog with no eyes with a girl covered in diamond riding on a black and green trolley that seems to be out of control," she said.
"Now, Jade, that was probably just your imagination," a voice said from nearby.
"Yeah, and the demons and Shadowkhan were just my imagination too," she scoffed.
Back on the trolley, Kevin's eye then popped up in front of her with a glare.
"Sorry, Ben. No pets allowed!" Kevin said as spikes shot up from the frame, causing him to lose his balance as he grabbed onto the side of the trolley and he and Allison dodged the incoming traffic.
"Hang on, Ben!" Allison shouted as she punched a hole in the window and the two leaped inside.
Meanwhile, the Rust Bucket sped down the street with its fins engaged.
"You know, at times like this, my stockcar driving experience really comes in handy."
The passengers freaked out over the diamond-coated girl inside the trolley as Kevin stuck his head out beside his sister.
"Peek-a-boo, sis!" he said before he punched Wildmutt into her, causing them both to stumble as the trolley's bench collapsed beneath them, knocking them unconscious. "That's a good little hero."
Kevin then de-merged with the trolley and smirked.
"Let's see, the breaks are out, heroes are trapped, and everyone's about to go for a dunk in the bay. My work is done."
He then transformed into Stinkfly and flew away as Wildmutt and Allison recovered as the Rust Bucket pulled up to the back of the trolley as Max shouted to them.
"Guys, attach the line to the bottom of the RV!"
Wildmutt looked out of the window and saw a line and hook at the rear of the cable car. He looked to Allison and nodded as he grabbed the line in his mouth, jumped out the window and attached it to the bottom of the Rust Bucket. Max then slammed his foot on the brakes with Wildmutt hanging on.
Allison then absorbed the lead from her stray bullet and leaped out of the front of the trolley and slammed her hands against the bumper, digging her feet into the and shouted out in effort as she tried to slow it down.
Max fired a line out of the Rust Bucket's rear and it shot into a building at the end as the Frostblight looked out from the end of the boardwalk, biting her nails intensely as the trolley rapidly slowed down before Allison's foot gently touched her ice wall as the trolley stopped.
Everybody gave out a sigh of relief as they all slumped down in exhaustion.
The passengers of the trolley all cheered out at their rescue as Frostblight smiled and nodded before flying over to her grandfather and Wildmutt as she put her hand on her head.
"Grandpa," she said, breathing heavily. "I think I might need an EKG in five minutes."
Later, after the twins hid from view, the Rust Bucket pulled up next to a dumpster as the twins and Allison went out from behind it as Ben and Jen smiled.
"Not bad for a 3-inch pixie and an alien with no thumbs," Gwen said as Max proudly rubbed their heads.
"Freeze!" Lt. Steele shouted as his soldiers surrounded them and aimed their blasters at them from all sides. "One move and you're all Swiss cheese."
"What is this?" Jen asked. "What did we do?"
"You have two choices kid: tell us what you have to do with the Omni Twins or get ready to get measured for your prison uniforms."
"What are you talking about?" Ben asked as Lt. Steele picked up left arm with the Omnitrix.
"It has something to do with this watch, doesn't it?" he asked. "Is it some sort of signal to call the Omni Twins to your location?"
"Sir," a soldier reported. "We have reports of that crystal alien attacking the Golden Gate. It looks like it could bring down the whole bridge if it isn't stopped."
Lt. Steele released Ben's arm and picked up his communicator before activating it. "Falcon One, pick up at my twenty. We're not done with you five."
A helicopter appeared overhead and released a line that Lt. Steele picked up and attached to his belt before flying off to the Golden Gate Bridge, leaving the twins and Allison worried.
"Those guys don't stand a chance against Kevin!" Ben shouted.
"We have to stop him," Jen said as Allison nodded.
"Count me in," she said with a smile.
At the Bridge, Kevin as Diamondhead fired his crystals, severing some of the cables, which fell onto the cars on the bridge as well as destroying the cars themselves with them.
The Falcon One helicopter zoomed in overhead as Diamondhead glared and fired his crystals at it, destroying the tail fin and sending it hurtling away.
"Oh yeah!"
Lt. Steele then took out his knife and severed the line before landing on the bridge, facing the Petrosapien in front of him.
"Lt. Steele. So nice to see you again."
Down below, the Rust Bucket pulled up on the bridge, examining the damage as the twins and Allison groaned.
"Great. Just one more thing I'm going to get blamed for," Ben said.
"Let's finish this right here and now," Jen nodded as Allison stuck her hand out and absorbed the metal from the fallen cable and nodded to them.
"I'm ready," she said as the twins readied their Omnitrixes.
Meanwhile, Lt. Steele was getting the crap kicked out of him as he groaned, realizing how foolish he was as Kevin turned his hand into a blade and was about to cut his head off when he heard a voice from behind him.
"Let him go, Kevin," Ben as Four Arms said from behind him.
Lt. Steele looked confused as he saw the four-armed alien behind him, cracking his knuckles.
"This is between you and me."
"Sounds good to me," Kevin said as he tossed Lt. Steele into the water before he was caught by Battlefly as she flew in the air, nodding to him with a smile as she set him onto the cable.
"Stay out of this, officer," Battlefly said. "We'll handle it from here."
"Why did you save me? You know my job is to hunt down your kind."
"Because it's the right thing to do. My brother and I are heroes. This is what we do," she said with a kind smile before she flew off.
"Still trying to be a little goody-too shoes, Ben?" Kevin asked. "Let me guess, you just want to help me?"
"You had plenty of chances to get help, little bro," Allison said from behind him as Kevin turned around to see her with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face. "But you always chose yourself in the end. This time you're getting what you deserve. Just imagine what Mom's going to say when she finds out about this."
"You swore that you would never mention our mother!" Kevin shouted to her.
"To who? It certainly wasn't you, you monster!" Allison said as she reached down and absorbed the metal from the bridge as Battlefly flew in and glared.
"Aw, does this mean you're not my little sister anymore?" Kevin mocked as Allison started twitching.
"That tears it!" Allison shouted as Kevin fired tons of crystals at her, which she punched away with her metal armor as she ran in and slammed him with her powerful punches before Four Arms ran in, grabbed his head and judo-tossed him into the end of the bridge.
"You'd risk all those innocent lives just to get even with us?" Battlefly asked as Kevin looked up and glared.
"Nobody's innocent! They just haven't had a chance to make fun of me yet!" Kevin shouted as he shot his crystals at the butterfly alien, before she gasped and flew around to avoid them and he exchanged blows with his sister and Ben.
Back at the bottom of the bridge, the S.A.C.T. team came in with the concussion bazooka from before to end this fight before it got too out of control.
"You can't do this!" Gwen shouted. "They're trying to help!"
The soldiers charged up the bazooka and aimed for the battle, shifting from Kevin to Battlefly to Four Arms, trying to get a target locked on. They finally did so with Four Arms.
"Target's locked on, sir," a soldier said. "Permission to fire?"
Lt. Steele reached for his communicator and pressed it. "Fire on my command only," he ordered. "Repeat, on my command only."
"We gotta blow those alien freaks back into outer space."
"Do you really want to disobey a direct order from Steele?" the soldier's partner asked.
The fight continued as Allison landed blow after blow to her brother, protected from her metal armor before Four Arms grabbed him and slammed his back on his knee like Bane did to Batman.
They stood over him, ready to deal the final blow. But before they could do so, Kevin morphed into Heatblast and blasted them with his fire, sending them backwards.
Four Arms tried to charge him, but he avoided it and crashed into the other side. He then slammed his hand on the bridge, causing the metal to shift under him and send him flying.
Kevin then morphed into Stinkfly and flew downwards and slammed his sister into Four Arms with his tail and Battlefly gasped.
"That does it!" she shouted as she twirled her arms and let loose a cyclone, sending him out of the sky before he morphed back into human form and slammed against Four Arms chest before crashing down on the bridge.
Four Arms then glared at him and reeled his fist back before he saw a glance of his sister flying next to him and she shook her head at him. He then nodded to her and slammed his fist into the bridge next to Kevin, leaving a crater before Battlefly smiled at him, proud of her brother as she then flew over to him and hugged him.
"Good job, bro," she smiled before Allison shrugged as she dissolved her armor as she shook her head in disappointment at the monster her brother had become.
"Let's get out of here, guys. I'll call the cops on him," Allison said as Four Arms nodded.
"I heard that," he said as they turned around.
"Get back here and fight, Tennyson! I'm not through with you two yet!"
"Well we're through with you," Battlefly said sternly.
"You're not worth it," Four Arms agreed. "You never were."
Kevin glared at the three walking away from him... but suddenly, his pupils shrank to a pinpoint. Suddenly, his entire body was covered in gross mutated bumps and his entire body bulked up. His left arm bulked up and took on Heatblast's rocky molten texture. His shoes ripped as his legs transformed into Four Arms' legs with XLR8's wheel-like feet at the bottom and he grew XLR8's tail with Stinkfly's stinger at the end. His entire body grew incredibly muscular, his shirt ripped and he grew crystalized joints that formed two insectoid wings at the end and one ignited in flames and his . He let out a horrifying scream as his entire body grew completely unrecognizable.
The three looked back and looked at the horror movie sight going on before them and Battlefly looked about ready to puke.
"That is so wrong," she said.
Kevin stood up and the three looked at what was happening to him. He had Four Arms' body shape with two sets of arms. His torso had Ghostfreak's streaks on his torso with Wildmutt's sonar gills on his waist. His back is hunched over and he had Upgrade's metallic alloy. He had Diamondhead-like joints that formed Stinkfly's wing shape with the right ignited in Heatblast's flames and the right completely crystalized. His head had Four Arms' right eyes and Ghostfreak's eye on the left. He had Ripjaw's angler on his forehead as well as his gills and throat. His jaw was jointed with Wildmutt's incisors and Ripjaw's fangs between them. His upper left arm had Four Arm's shape and Heatblast's texture. His upper right arm had Upgrade's elastic shape and Diamondhead's hard texture. His lower left arm had Ghostfreak's shape and Wildmutt's fur and claws. His lower right arm had Ripjaws' shape and claws and Grey Matter's skin. He had Four Arms' upper legs ending in XLR8's wheel-like feet and finally, he had XLR8's tail with Stinkfly's stinger at the end.
He clutched his eyes and focused, but without success. "I... I can't change back! I'm stuck like this! Look at what you've done!"
"Oh man!" Four Arms said. "Is there anything I'm not going to get blamed for today?"
Kevin charged them and slammed all four of his fists against Four Arms and his sister in absolute rage. He then tossed his sister off the bridge before she was caught by Battlefly, who was struggling a bit as she dodged Kevin's fire blasts.
"You know, your brother's a real jerk."
"Tell me about it," Allison sighed. "But he's still my brother and therefore my responsibility."
Kevin tossed Four Arms away off the bridge before he caught the bridge, leaving him dangling off. He knew that his current weight would be too much for Battlefly to handle. Kevin put his foot on Four Arms' hand.
"You'll never beat me. Because you're one of the good guys. And good guys never have the guts to finish guys like me."
"But I do," Lt. Steele said. "Fire!"
The S.A.C.T. soldiers fired the bazooka, hitting Kevin square in the chest and he was sent screaming down into the Pacific Ocean as Battlefly set Allison down as the Omnitrixes started beeping.
"Kevin!" Allison shot down as he collided with the water. She then looked down as her eyes began to water and she held her head down in despair.
Four Arms then leaped over to Lt. Steele after pulling himself up and helped him to his feet as Battlefly flew towards them as Allison sighed and climbed off of the bridge.
The Omnitrixes then timed out, leaving the twins in their armor as Lt. Steele looked on in shock at them.
"Are you still looking for us, sir?" Jen asked.
"Second and third targets locked on. Permission to fire?" the soldiers asked Lt. Steele over his communicator.
"We've got our alien. Stand down."
The twins smiled at him.
"Good work, you two," he said before he reached into his pocket. "Forgive me, I'm afraid I've misjudged you."
"No hard feelings," she said as Lt. Steele reached into his pocket and produced two badges and placed one in the hands of both of the twins.
"Consider yourselves honorary members of the Special Alien Containment Team."
"Wow," Jen said, looking at the badge. "What an honor."
"Thanks. If you ever need us, just call," Ben said as the twins leaped away from the scene.
"Well what are you waiting for? A pretty please? Get me down from here!"
The Rust Bucket drove along the road, now having one more occupant in it.
"Not even Kevin could've survived that blast and that fall, right?" Gwen asked, unsure.
"You're asking the wrong guy," Ben said. "I thought he was gone for good the last time."
"What are you going to do now?" Jen asked Allison as she sat on the couch with her head in her
"I don't know," Allison said. "Kevin was the only ambition I had before. I promised myself that I would protect him when our dad died... and now I've broken that promise. What do I have left now?"
"Well..." Jen asked with a smile. "Remember that offer that Ben made Kevin back in New York?"
"Yeah," Allison asked.
"Well, I'm prepared to make that offer to you, Allison. Come on, you can come with us. Use your powers to help people. It'll sure be one heck of a great adventure with you along for the ride."
Allison pondered for a moment before she smiled at Jen and brushed her hair out of her face.
"Well... I have nowhere else to go, so..."
"Oh yay!" Jen cheered as she shot up and spun around Allison in a hug. "This is going to be so amazing! We can travel all over the country. When we get home, I can show you where I live. You could be the big sister I never had!"
"Choking... not breathing..." Allison choked as Jen let her go.
"Sorry. Got a little carried away there," Jen said, chuckling slightly.
Ben smiled and nodded at his sister's happiness as they pulled up to see Lt. Steele's brigade at the end of the bridge.
"Now why is it that you three are always around when the Omni Twins or other aliens show up?" Lt. Steele asked as the twins covered their Omnitrixes.
"Really?" Max asked. "Is that a fact? We hadn't noticed."
They all smiled innocently and nodded.
"Yeah. Guess it's just a coincidence. Maybe our paths will cross again someday."
"I'm counting on it, sir," Jen said with a smile.
"Drive carefully. There's lots of weird stuff out there."
"Yeah, you're telling us," Ben smirked as they drove away.
The camera then shifted down to the ocean with a few bubbles rising to the surface.
