Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Super Alien Hero Buddies
A group of kids were playing and having fun at a playground when they suddenly gasped and looked to their sides to see a crook with red hair and a black mask with a black and white striped suit with a bowling ball symbol on his chest came by and summoned two bowling balls to his hands. A purple-skinned wizard wearing a purple robe and hat with orange gumdrop symbols on them followed and waved his wand at the kids. Finally, a blue and white-furred cat with a blue KL on its chest appeared and carried a garbage can.
The villains then went to work by tossing bowling bars at the slide, wrecking it, using magic to tie the swings together and dumping garbage everywhere in the playground.
"Who will protect us from the nefarious deeds of the League of Evil Doom Fiends?!" the narrator asked.
The crooks laughed to each other before they saw a light from behind them and gasped as they saw three familiar figures behind them. The first jumped out, looking exactly like Four Arms.
"Handy Buddy!"
The black and white criminal tossed a bunch of bowling balls at Handy Buddy, but he easily caught them in each of his arms.
"Ugh! You'll not be tossing me out of the game anytime soon, Bowling Ball Bandit!" Handy Buddy shouted in a Scottish accent.
The second figure, who looked exactly like Battlefly, then smirked and flew into the battle as well and crossed her arms.
"Fairy Buddy!"
The wizard shot his wand out at her and stuck her feet to the ground before she looked at the mess on her dress and glared.
"Hey, watch where you're aiming, Gumdrop Wizard! This is a new dress!" she shouted in a posh accent before she summoned a whirlwind in her hands and blew the gummy mess away and flew towards her enemy, glaring all the while and punched him away with a strong hit to the jaw.
The third and final figure, who looked exactly like Wildmutt growled playfully at his friends battling the crooks.
"Doggy Buddy!"
The cat then mewled outwards and ran towards Doggy Buddy.
"Look out, laddie!" Handy Buddy warned. "It's the Kitty Litterer!"
Doggy Buddy then turned around and scratched and pawed at the ground, sweeping it up and knocking Kitty Litterer into the garbage bin along with his friends, who sat there, defeated and dazed.
"The forces of good and fairness united to form... The Super Alien Hero Buddies!"
The twins looked at the TV in the Rust Bucket, absolutely horrified at the cartoon in front of them as Gwen and Becky stood there in shock while it looked like Allison was working on something in her bed.
"Ben? Jen?" Gwen asked. "Is it just me or are those super lame versions of your alien heroes?"
Becky then turned the TV off as Jen's eye twitched in anger and Ben balled his hands into fists and looked towards the girls with hatred in his eyes along with the girls.
"Someone is going to pay for this," Ben glared.
"Big time!" Jen agreed.
Outside of Universal Studios Hollywood, Jen growled and shouted in anger as she ripped off a poster of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures and started tearing it to shreds in anger.
Allison stepped forward and intervened, wrapping her arms around her friend and pulling her back towards her brother and cousins as she continued tearing up the poster like a wild animal.
"Easy, Jenny!" Allison said. "You know that you're better than this!"
"I know!" Jen said as Allison set her beside her equally angered brother as she glared at the poster and balled it up. "But this time, it's personal! It's not just a horrible cartoon. It's a direct insult to me and Ben personally!"
"Right?!" Ben asked. "It's not enough that they ripped us off. Why did they have to make us look like such losers?!"
"Guys, I understand your pain," Gwen said as she slung her backpack over her shoulder along with the rest of the group. "If Lucky Girl got ripped off, I would be as mad as you guys are now. But right now, there's nothing that you can do about it. I'm sorry."
"I know, Gwen," Jen said. "Maybe there's nothing we can do about the show, but the creator is signing autographs today."
"You're right!" Ben said. "Maybe we can give him a piece of our mind about ripping us off."
"Go for it, you two," Becky smiled.
That was when Max walked over with a rag in his hand and the camera panned out to show the Rust Bucket's engine was smoking... again.
"Just as I thought," he said. "It's the distributor. I saw a garage a few blocks back. Let me see if I can get another one."
"But what about Universal Studios?" Gwen asked.
"Ah, you're right," Max smiled. "The twins have been bugging me all summer to take them to see Kangaroo Commando. You five start without me. We'll meet here again at 4:00."
"Thanks, Grandpa," Jen said as she and Ben started beaming along with their cousins while Allison only rolled her eyes and followed them into the park.
As they entered, they looked upon a giant standee advertising that Abel North was going to be signing autographs today as Kangaroo Commando showing the hero in full costume.
"I still don't get what's so cool about some old guy jumping around in his underwear," Gwen said to the twins as Jen nudged her.
"Tell that to all your favorite superheroes in the comics like Spider-Man and Batman, Gwen."
Ben then did some impromptu fighting moves to the camera as they all looked to him weirdly.
"I wouldn't expect you three to care about Kangaroo Commando, but Jen and I have been watching the show since we were five years old. He's the one that inspired us to be superheroes."
"Well, him and Captain Nemesis," Jen said as she pulled out an action figure of said superhero and smiled at it before putting it away again.
Ben wasn't looking where he was going, however, and managed to slam right into a guy in a Four Arms - or should I say Handy Buddy- suit.
"I'm Handy Buddy!" he said in an obviously fake Scottish accent. "Watch me now-"
He then fell onto his butt since he couldn't dance and groaned outwards as the twins looked on him in disgust.
"Hey, Four Arms doesn't dance around and fall on his butt like a goof," Ben said.
"Who's Four Arms? I'm Handy Buddy, me boy! Shake!"
He then stuck out his hand to them only for Jen to angrily slap it away and walk away with her brother in anger.
"This is getting ridiculous!" Jen shouted as she then turned around and saw a bunch of people dressed up in cosplay outfits that looked exactly like their aliens and Omni Suits, rather poorly.
There were Battleflies, Four Arms, XLR8, Frostblight, even Grey Matter suits galore all around the park. There were also posters of the alien heroes all around surrounding the other movies and TV advertisements in the shops and they gasped.
The twins looked to each other in awe and Ben whimpered.
"Jen?"
"Yeah?"
"Am I hallucinating or are we surrounded by around a thousand cosplays of our aliens?"
"Nope, you're good," Ben said as he bumped into a Cannonbolt cosplayer with a shout.
"Sorry, little dude," the Cannonbolt replica said.
"What's going on here?" Jen asked. "What's with all of the Omni Twin merchandise?"
"You've obviously been living under a rock for the past few months," the cosplayer said. "The Omni Twins are all the rage nowadays. Everybody's talking about them all around the country. All around the world."
"Oh, really?" Jen asked. "Who's Omni-Pink's Number One alien according to the fans?"
"No question, Stinkbomb."
Jen's eyes widened once she looked around and saw several cosplayers dressed up as the skunk alien and her cheeks immediately flushed with red as bright as a beet.
"Oh my God," she said as she saw the size of their rears, which were slightly larger than Stinkbomb's was normally. She felt an amazing amount of heat flush to her face and she slightly fainted into her brother's arms as he caught her.
"You okay?" he asked her as she recovered and she shook her head.
"I said I wanted to be famous when I was older... THIS ISN'T What I MEANT!"
"Wait until you see the fanart," the cosplayer said as he walked away from them and Jen fanned herself with her hand as the others walked over to her.
"You've got to be kidding me," Allison said as she looked around. "What happened to all of the other superheroes in the world?"
"Yeah, where are all the Lucky Girls?" Gwen asked as Becky looked upwards and the kids looked to see a poster of Handy Buddy, Fairy Buddy and Doggy Buddy surrounding a man with red hair and a goatee.
"Meet Tim Dean: creator of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures," Allison read.
"You want to get an autograph?" Becky teased.
"Have a Super Alien Hero Buddy day!" Handy Buddy said as he walked by along with guys in suits of Doggy Buddy and Fairy Buddy as Jen glared.
"That does it!" she said, looking at the Fairy Buddy suit. "Battlefly's butt is not that big! Come on, bro!"
They marched on over to Tim, who was signing autographs with a bored expression on his face.
"Thanks for watching," he told the kid who ran off wit h his photo of Handy Buddy.
Ben and Jen then marched forward and Jen ripped apart a picture of Fairy Buddy with a visibly angry expression.
"Hey! That's a Tim Dean original!"
"What do you mean original?!" Ben asked.
"You totally stole your her-noes from u- The Omni Twins!" Jen shouted, pointing a finger accusingly at Tim.
"Prove it," Tim said. "Take them away, Fairy Buddy!"
Fairy Buddy and Handy Buddy then grabbed the twins and carried them away, leaving them shouting out in anger at them.
"Her name's Battlefly!" Jen shouted. "And she is not that much of a neat freak!"
"And why is Four Arms Scottish?! That doesn't even make any sense!" Ben shouted as he and his sister were thrown out and Gwen, Becky and Allison looked down at them with a smirk.
"Something tells me that guy isn't too open for constructive criticism," Gwen said.
"Then maybe it's time for a little destructive criticism!" Ben said. "Going hero!"
Ben and Jen then leaped behind a Fairy Buddy picture and slammed down the Omnitrix cores.
The watch sunk down into Ben's arm and from where it sinked, brown-orange rocks erupted from his skin and worked their way down his body until they reached his eye. Then, cracks appeared in the outline of his now rocky skin and the watch symbol appeared on his chest. His head erupted into flames with a face outline and he struck a pose, ending the transformation.
Jen's skin turned a deep fuchsia pink and it shifted up to her eyes as she clutched them closed and she opened them to reveal they had turned a fully deep pink and a more compound shape as she smiled to the camera. Two antennae grew from her forehead and her hair turned a deep pink. Her clothes turned into a pink skintight one-piece leotard with the Omnitrix symbol on the belt. Two slits opened in the back of her outfit and two large pink, purple and red patterned wings burst forth. She flapped them rapidly and posed for the camera.
Heatblast and Battlefly then walked from behind the standee and were about to wreak havoc when they heard a sudden explosion.
"Guys," Allison said sternly.
"What?" Heatblast asked.
"That wasn't us," Battlefly said.
"Look!" Becky said, pointing behind her to show a burning building and sets and Kangaroo Commando was dangling from a pipe hanging from the roof.
"It's Kangaroo Commando!" Heatblast realized. "He needs help!"
He then fired two heat beams directly below him to propel himself up onto the wall and Battlefly followed him with her wings as she then flew upwards to Kangaroo Commando and took him by the collar, flying him to the wall with a smile.
Heatblast smirked and then stuck his hands out and absorbed the fire from the building with a shout.
"Who are you?" Kangaroo Commando asked.
"Um, just your biggest fans in the world," Battlefly smiled.
"Is that why you're trying to ruin my stunt show?"
He then gestured behind him to show a set of bleachers with a few people sitting there and a sign that said Kangaroo Commando Stunt Spectacular.
Battlefly then twitched a little before she nervously chuckled.
"Heh, oopsie. Sorry."
"Maybe I can fix this," Heatblast said.
He then turned around and blasted a fireball outwards towards the building again, only for it to reflect off the water tower and back towards the crowd.
"Oh my God!" Allison shouted as Gwen focused and activated her Luck Charm tattoo and tackled the family of four who was in the audience away from the blast with a grunt of effort as the fireball destroyed that section of the bleachers as Allison jumped off and Becky front-flipped away, landing in a perfect three-point stance.
The crowd, including the cosplayers in the crowd, went absolutely bonkers with cheers and applause at seeing both the real Omni Twins and Kangaroo Commando battling each other in the same show. It was like a dream come true.
Kangaroo Commando then activated kangaroo-like extensions on his boots and kicked Battlefly and Heatblast away from the group, sending them crashing into the flaming bleachers.
"Hey! It was just an accident!" Battlefly shouted as Kangaroo Commando leaped towards them.
"Great show, huh?" Becky asked the family as she and her sister chuckled nervously. "So... realistic."
"Hey! I think we'll be able to see it better from over there," Gwen said as she, her sister and Allison led the family away.
Kangaroo Commando then took out some sort of fire extinguisher and sprayed the fire away with it, soaking Heatblast and Battlefly as well as they groaned outwards.
"Who put you two up to this? Tim Dean?" he asked.
He then adjusted his gun and wrapped a rope around their legs and pulled them towards him as they protested against it.
"Let us go! We're superheroes too, you know!"
"It's not enough for him to knock my show off the air with that stupid cartoon of his? Now he has to ruin my live shows too?!"
"Hey, we're just as mad about that as you are!" Heatblast shouted as he reignited his flames and shot a fireball out that knocked his grapple gun away.
"Alright," he said as the twins stood up with a glare. "Now we're giving the public what they want."
"Oh, I get it," Battlefly said as she started flying up and winked to her brother. "This is Hollywood."
"Oh, you're right," Heatblast said as they both started flying towards Kangaroo Commando with a shout and punched towards him.
Not far off, Tim was still signing autographs to his fans.
"Thanks for watching."
He then saw a red light and looked upwards to see a bunch of fireballs and whirlwinds going off in the skies above the stunt show.
A huge crowd had gathered to see Heatblast and Battlefly fired their best wind and fire attacks at Kangaroo Commando and he avoided them all using his grapple gun.
He then smiled and landed on the water tower with a smirk and gave the twins a 'bring-it-on' gesture.
"Gladly," Battlefly smirked as Heatblast propelled himself forwards and leaped towards him while Battlefly prepared a flying punch to his jaw.
But Kangaroo Commando was prepared and leaped over them as Heatblast gasped and collided with his sister and they fell into the waters below while Kangaroo Commando jumped down and played it up for the applauding crowd.
"All in a day's work for this superhero!"
Gwen, Becky and Allison were standing by the exit when a red and purple light flashed outwards and the twins walked by with not a drop of water on them with a smile.
"What's up, guys?" Ben asked.
"Are you two okay?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah," Jen said with stars in her eyes and hands clasped to her chest. "We're going to be Kangaroo Commando's partner!"
"More like his punching bag," Allison whispered to Becky and Gwen before they looked back at the marsupial superhero.
Later, Kangaroo Commando was signing autographs on pictures of himself and his actor persona, Abel North, as well as taking pictures with the fans.
"Kangaroo Commando isn't so much a role as a way of life. I do my own stunts as well as build my own gadgets and special effects."
Ben and Jen smiled at their favorite TV star while Gwen, Becky and Allison groaned, unimpressed, and looked at the park's brochure.
"I can't believe we're missing the Stars with Scars horror movie makeup demonstration for this!" Allison shouted.
"North!" said a familiar voice as the kids looked to see Tim Dean approaching with Fairy Buddy and Handy Buddy flanking his sides as he approached Kangaroo Commando. "Stealing Fairy Buddy to try and steal your pathetic stunt show?"
"Me?!" Abel asked. "Clearly you sent her and that fire alien to try to intimidate me!"
"Listen, old man. Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures will bury you! And I'll be there kicking in the last mound of dirt."
"We'll see who buries who!"
Ben and Jen then looked to each other nervously before Jen approached Abel while wringing her hands.
"Mr. North," she said. "I have a confession to make to you about Battlefly."
"Save it, kid," Abel said, walking away.
"That went well," Becky said, crossing her arms.
"He's just a busy guy," Ben said. "Come on. If we want to go on Kangaroo Commando: The Ride, we should hurry up. The line's probably a mile long."
They then looked up to the ride to see... an absolutely desolate line leading up to the cars.
Ben and Jen got in the first car in the front, Gwen and Becky in the second and Allison in the third.
"Guess no one wants to hop along and ride with your hero, guys," Allison smirked.
"Well they don't know what they're missing," Jen smirked.
"All clear," the operator said as he pressed a button and the cars moved forwards on the track, leading up a hill.
Ben and Jen looked outwards to see the whole park as well as a large Handy Buddy inflatable being shown over the park. They then looked behind them to see the others looking nervous as Becky looked to Allison.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Now that you mention it, I've never actually been on a roller coaster."
"If you can handle going up against sinister aliens like Vilgax, you can handle this," Ben smiled.
"I guess so," Allison said as the car started its descent as Ben and Jen put their hands in the air, embracing the experience while Gwen, Becky and Allison looked nervous. Allison especially was looking a little green in the face at this.
The car then entered a cave area with a Kangaroo Commando sign waving at them as well as fake volcanic craters and laser lights going around the area as Jen and Ben laughed at the sight.
"There's no way he could come up with a cool ride like this!" Ben shouted. "Whoo-hoo!"
"These special effects rock!" Jen cheered.
Gwen gasped as they felt a shake through the cave and saw some boulders fall onto the track, destroying it.
"Um, I don't think these are special effects, cuz!" Becky shouted as they advanced towards the now broken tracks.
"Um, now would be a really go time to go hero, guys!" Gwen shouted.
"We're trying!" Ben shouted as he and Jen fiddled with their Omnitrixes.
"Hold on!" Allison shouted as she closed her eyes and braced herself... only for the car to suddenly stop after the front went off the tracks.
The kids looked behind them to see a cable had attached to the back of the car and looked further back to see the twins' hero smiling back at them.
"Kangaroo Commando!" Jen cheered.
"Yes!" Ben said as he and his sister high-fived.
He then tied his cable around a pillar in the cave area and activated his jumping boots and leaped down towards the kids as they smiled down at him.
"Let's see what we can't do about those safety bars."
He then pulled a blowtorch gadget out from his utility belt, activated it, and used it to burn through the three safety bars, releasing them and letting the kids go.
They then heard a scream by their sides as they saw a woman on another track dangling from her purse.
"Don't worry! Kangaroo Commando is here to save the day!"
He then sheathed his blowtorch and unhooked his grapple gun and fired it towards the woman as the Omnitrixes chimed out.
"Yes!" Ben said as he and his sister smiled and pressed the buttons to activate their Omni Suits. "With a little help from some friends."
Kangaroo Commando safely got the woman out of the ride as they looked above to see part of the track that was above them loosen and fall down towards the crowd. Everyone braced themselves... until they looked up to see the track was enveloped in a purple aura and it was tossed aside by the others.
"Need an extra hand?" said a voice as he looked to see Four Arms and Omni-Pink standing by them.
"How about six?" Four Arms asked.
"Hmm," Kangaroo Commando said as he looked to see them. "You must be one of those new animatronics."
"Actually, we're the Omni Twins!" Omni-Pink said. "That's what we've been trying to tell you!"
They then looked up once again to see the roller coaster stop again and the tracks fall off while the kids inside the car were screaming for help.
"Well stand back. These kids need my help!"
He then leaped towards them with his boots while Jen groaned and activated her Omnitrix.
"What happened to the "Heroes stick together" code?"
She then slammed the core down in a pink light.
Kangaroo Commando reached the cars and saved one of the kids while Four Arms and Diamondhead came in and lifted the safety bars up with their strength before taking a kid each.
"Thanks, Omni-Green," the kid said.
"Don't thank me yet," Four Arms said as he ran away.
Diamondhead then created a crystal slide downwards and took her kid and slid down the slide while Four Arms ran along the pipes as the tracks fell away
Four Arms then leaped away and landed on the Handy Buddy inflatable, sending it crashing to the ground and deflating under his weight as the crowd cheered for him, his sister and Kangaroo Commando.
"Go Omni-Twins!" the crowd cheered out and then smiled.
"You know, we could be partners," Diamondhead suggested.
"Did that once with Marsupial Man. Until I found he was hiding all of my gadgets in his pouch. I go solo."
He walked away as Gwen, Becky and Allison walked up.
"Why is he so upset?" Four Arms asked. "It's not like this is another stunt show."
"I don't know," Gwen said.
"Doesn't this whole accident and rescue seem a little, I don't know, convenient?" Allison asked.
"This was no accident," Kangaroo Commando pitched in, hearing them. "Someone rigged this ride with explosives."
He then pulled something out of the rubble and placed it in a plastic bag and showed it to the crowd.
"Someone who wore this ink-stained glove. The kind used by... animators."
"Tim Dean," Kangaroo Commando, Four Arms and Diamondhead chorused.
"Oh, come on," Becky said. "He just happens to find a glove?"
"Yeah," Diamondhead said. "Because he's a crime fighting genius."
"And we will be his partners!" Four Arms said as he prepared to jump away... only for the Omnitrixes to time out mid-jump. Luckily, his enhanced reflexes thanks to his Omni-Suit allowed him to flip forwards onto his feet to prevent him from hurting himself.
"Yeah, and how proud he must be," Gwen said as she shook her head along with her sister and friend.
Later, Abel, now out of the superhero costume and in regular clothes, stood with the park security to confront Tim with the evidence he found.
"Why would I blow up your stupid ride?" Tim asked.
"So Universal Studios would tear it down and build your stupid ride!"
Abel then gestured to the curtains behind him and parted them away to reveal some of Tim's drawings above some cases of dangerous explosives.
"Those aren't mine!" Tim shouted. "I mean, the sketches are, but not the explosives!"
"Gentlemen, I believe we've caught the culprit red-handed," Abel said to the guards as they seized Tim's arms and led him away as the team walked up to him.
Ben and Jen watched pleased as he walked away.
That was when Gwen's eyes strayed to the glove in Abel's hand and she immediately grabbed it and held it up to the guards.
"Wait!" she shouted. "That glove can't possibly belong to Tim Dean!"
"Huh?!" Jen asked as everyone turned to her as she held up the glove.
"It's a right-handed glove. Dean did all those sketches left-handed."
"Hey, whose side are you on!?" Ben asked as Becky and Allison sighed.
"She does have a point, Ben," Allison said. "I do remember that he was signing the autographs with his left hand."
"That doesn't prove anything!" Abel accused.
"Oh, please! Even the weak villains on your old show could've done a better frame job."
"You wanna talk about lame-o villains, dude?" Ben asked as he and his sister walked up. "Bowling Ball Bandit? Kitty Litterer?"
"That stupid furball doesn't even meow right!" Jen agreed.
"That does it!" Tim shouted as he and Abel started getting into a massive fight and the guards tried to break it up as the team looked on in embarrassment.
"Nice going, Gwen," Jen said. "We could've put that slime ball animator away for good if you hadn't opened your mouth."
"Didn't North say that he handles all his own special effects?" Becky remembered. "Including explosives?"
"...Yeah," Ben said. "But even so, why would Kangaroo Commando blow up his own ride?"
"He's not Kangaroo Commando!" Gwen said. "He's an actor who'd do anything to save his show. We have to keep an eye on him."
"*sigh* Okay," Jen caved. "You're right. We probably do need to do some investigating."
Later, as Abel walked away from the set, Allison and Gwen were flying on the twins as Stinkfly and Firefly, who groaned in annoyance.
"This is a major waste of time," Stinkfly said. "We should be trailing the animator guy."
"We'll get to him later, I promise," Allison said.
"I hope so," Firefly said, gesturing to the screens behind them. "If that's not a crime, I don't know what is."
"Hey, folks," the park's announcer said over the intercom. "Don't forget. Today, we'll be premiering a brand new episode of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures Right here on the big screens at Universal Studios Hollywood!"
"I've got a premiere for you," Stinkfly glared as he hocked up and spat out his slime at the screens before he and his sister flew off.
"Real mature, Stinkbreath," Gwen said.
Allison looked ahead. "North's heading for his dressing room. Take us down."
"We'll land when we're good and ready!" Firefly said before she looked to see her Omnitrix symbol started beeping before she groaned. "Me and my big mouth."
The Omnitrixes timed out and Jen created an energy platform beneath her and Allison's feet while Gwen used her Levitation tattoo and grabbed Ben and they landed safely on the ground back at the Kangaroo Commando Stunt Spectacular set.
"Hey, you kids get off the set!" a passing security guard shouted to them.
"Run!" Allison shouted as she and the others ducked into and through the set and then burst out of the back door.
They then ducked behind some hedges as the security guard passed them.
"Okay, that was close," Jen said as they crawled their way over to the dressing room and looked through the window and saw Abel pacing around.
"This has gone too far," he said. "This has to stop before someone gets hurt."
"Who's he talking too?" Ben asked.
"Himself?" Gwen suggested.
"You don't tell me what to do!"
Suddenly, Ben and Jen felt their collars being yanked by the security guard.
Gwen and Allison groaned and face-palmed, shaking their heads.
The security guard threw them off the set and by the entrance to the bleachers, where Becky was waiting for them.
"If I catch you four sneaking around again, you're out of the park!"
"This why someone always stays behind," Becky said. "What did you guys find out?"
"That something is majorly wrong with North," Allison said. "He was having a argument with himself."
"Maybe there's an explanation for this," Jen said. "He was... practicing lines from his show or something?"
"Face it, you two," Gwen said as they walked away. "Your hero's the villain."
Later, as the team was walking, an announcement was sounded over the loudspeaker.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Universal Studios Hollywood is proud to present a world premiere episode of-"
The announcement was cut off when the screens suddenly went snowy and cut to Abel tied up and dangling upside-down over a flaming vat of chemicals.
"Seriously?" Gwen asked. "Dangling over a flaming vat of deadly chemicals? How original."
"I don't know, Gwen," Jen said. "This looks pretty real to me."
Just as she and her brother turned to find a safe place to transform, they heard a cry for help.
"Help!" shouted Tim as he pushed his way through the crowd. "Someone help me!"
"What the?" Allison asked.
Suddenly... Kangaroo Commando swooped in from above, grabbed Tim and swung away as the kids looked on in awe.
"Kangaroo Commando?" Gwen asked.
"But how can he be in two places at once?" Becky asked.
"I'm... so confused." Ben said.
"Either way, North and Dean are obviously in real trouble," Jen said. "What are we going to do?"
Allison smirked as they hid in an alleyway to see a restroom nearby and smiled.
"The park wants superheroes?" she asked the team. "Well let's give them superheroes. That thing I've been working on in the Rust Bucket?"
"Yeah?" she asked.
"It was this," she said as she opened her backpack to reveal black clothing and gloves and a black mask underneath.
"That's why you bought those extra fabrics at the store," Jen realized.
"Let's hero up," Ben said turning to Gwen and Becky. "You guys brought your suits like we talked about?"
"Sure did," Becky said.
"Let's do this," Jen smiled.
2 minutes of a suiting up montage later, the bathroom door opened and Gwen, now wearing her Lucky Girl suit, kicked the door open and smiled.
"Lucky Girl is back," she said as she crossed her arms.
She was followed by Becky as she was now wearing her homemade pelt clothing and footwraps from the Null Void as well as a grey mask over her eyes as she smiled at the group.
"Kangaroo Commando is going to be the prey for this Huntress," she said.
"Huntress," Jen smiled. "I like it."
And finally, the door opened again to show Allison, now wearing a black tank top with the grey initials MG on the torso as well as black fingerless gloves, loose black leather pants, black combat boots, a belt with a pouch at the side and a black mask over her eyes.
"Whoa," Jen smiled, impressed. "Allison."
"Who's Allison?" she asked with a smile. "I'm Matter Girl."
"Now we're ready for action," Jen said as she and Ben activated their Omni-Suits before slamming down the cores again, initiating their transformations.
The Omnitrix sank into Ben's wrist and vine-like tendrils spread up his arm and encased him in a green cocoon-like shell. Two clawed arms sprouted from the sides of it, a blue spore-like sphere opened on his shoulders and he grew six black seed-like spores from his back. The bottom of the shell grew vine-like legs and the top opened up to reveal a green head with a single blue eye and razor-sharp teeth. He then posed to the camera as the transformation ended.
Jen's Omnitrix sank into her wrist and she grew pink fur with white patches from the wrist down as it snaked up to her body as her hands grew sharp claws and her muscle mass increased as she spun around. She grew a long pink bushy tail with a white streak through the middle as her feet shifted to paws as the fur made its way up to her face as she clutched her eyes open again, revealing them to be pink with black sclera. Her clothes morphed into a pink one-piece leotard with the Omnitrix symbol beneath her breastbones. She whipped her tail to the screen and she struck a pose.
"Wildvine and Stinkbomb?" Lucky Girl asked. "Nice choices."
"Let's get it on," Stinkbomb said.
Wildvine swung his way across the studio while the others followed him on foot/paw and they came across a warehouse.
Lucky Girl took out her spellbook and flipped across to the page she desired. "Fallum Quarca Daminigan!"
As she said that, the wooden doors immediately crumbled in on themselves and Matter Girl walked in, absorbed the material from the street and blew the doors open with a single punch.
Everybody gasped as they saw that the warehouse was in chaos and fire and explosions were raining everywhere.
"This is not good," Stinkbomb said as Wildvine swung up to the rafters.
Meanwhile, in the control booth, who appeared to be Abel pressed a button and a giant Godzilla head appeared and Wildvine looked unimpressed.
"That is so fake," he said.
The giant dinosaur head then opened its maw and a burst of fire came forth as Wildvine avoided it.
"But that's not!"
The head turned around, firing out blasts of fire all around as the heroes split up and dodged it as Matter Girl turned to Stinkbomb and glared.
"Think you can get me to it?"
"I think so," Stinkbomb said as she grabbed her friend and placed her on her back as she ran forwards on all fours and avoided the fire blasts.
Meanwhile, Huntress, Wildvine and Lucky Girl were doing their best to keep it occupied by either swinging around, shooting arrows at it or firing spell blasts at it as Stinkbomb ran ahead behind it.
As the action was going on, a camera was on them filming the whole thing and showing it to the audience outside.
"Woo-hoo! That was awesome!" a kid cheered.
"Go Lucky Girl!" a girl shouted out.
"The Omni Twins rule!" a boy wearing a shirt with the Omnitrix symbol on it.
"Please, let's see what these two new heroes are all about," a boy said to his sister as they watched.
"Okay, now!" Matter Girl cried as she leaped off of Stinkbomb and got onto the head and absorbed its material, transformed her hands into hammers and bashed the crap out of the head with no regard, which caused it to malfunction and go into the ground and she jumped off.
Wildvine hopped up onto one of the crane lifts and looked to see Abel hanging over the flaming chemicals.
"Mr. North, hang on!" he shouted.
Suddenly, the crane began moving with Wildvine hanging from it as Tim, who was tied in a similar fashion to Abel was carried by the crane over a second vat of chemicals.
"Please don't hurt me! I just do drawings! I'm not even that good!"
Stinkbomb and Wildvine looked confused as Wildvine swung to a balcony as Stinkbomb climbed up to it as they looked out.
"Wait. Did you kidnap Mr. North?" Stinkbomb asked.
"Of course not, you overgrown skunk! He kidnapped me!"
After he said that, Tim looked parallel from him to see Abel in the same situation as him and instantly looked confused.
"Didn't he?"
"Pity you won't be able to figure it out and save them both!" a voice said.
The man in the control room then pulled down the two levers and began to lower the two celebrities down into the chemicals.
"Crap!" Matter Girl shouted as Lucky Girl grabbed the two and activated her Levitation Charm and they levitated onto the balcony aside as they looked to the twins.
"Guys, you grab Dean. We'll get North," Lucky Girl said.
"Right!" Wildvine shouted as he lifted up the chains that were holding Dean.
Lucky Girl activated her Telekinesis charm and tossed a nearby crowbar to the crane, jamming it.
Huntress then shouted out as she leapt onto the chain and swung over to the crane and unhooked North before she tackled him safely onto the balcony.
"All clear," Huntress said, giving the others the thumbs up.
"Who are you?" Abel asked her as she smiled.
"Call me Huntress," she said as Lucky Girl and Matter Girl ran over to her. "This is Lucky Girl and Matter Girl. We're the new superheroes in town."
Wildvine safely unhooked Tim and Stinkbomb tackled him away safely onto the balcony.
The man in the control booth then pressed a button and the bridge beneath them started to fold away.
Wildvine then stretched over and saved Tim as Stinkbomb fell into the vat of chemicals.
"Stinkbomb!" Lucky Girl shouted as she looked into the boiling chemicals.
"No!" Wildvine looked out as the surface of the chemicals suddenly broke and Stinkbomb came out of the chemicals and spat out massively and started rubbing her tongue as Wildvine stretched out his arm, grabbed her and yanked her towards him.
"Man, chemicals do not agree with me," Stinkbomb said.
"I forgot. You're immune to poison and chemicals as Stinkbomb," Matter Girl said.
"It helps, but that doesn't make it any more disgusting."
That was when the fires that were coming from the chemicals spread to a few fuel tanks and sent out a huge explosion outwards.
"Let's get out of here before-" Matter Girl began as a piece of machinery fell away.
Wildvine was ready as he wrapped his legs around the group and swung away with his arm towards the control booth.
The crowd outside looked concerned as the man in the control booth sounded out over the intercom.
"Attention, park goers, I regret to inform you of that has-been Abel North and that talentless animator Tim Dean!"
The group walked up to the control room as this announcement was being made.
"Has-been?" Abel asked.
"Talentless?" Tim asked.
"He must have taken over the park's master control center," Abel theorized as Matter Girl walked up to the door. "I told him this had gone too far?"
"Told who?" Lucky Girl asked.
Matter Girl then reached out and absorbed the material from the door and bashed it open with only her fists.
Wildvine then stretched out and turned the chair around to reveal a man who looked exactly like Abel, only with a mustache and much more physically fit.
"Of course!" Stinkbomb realized. "We should've figured it out!"
"What?" Huntress asked.
"Season 1, Episode 10," Wildvine explained. "Kangaroo Commando had his brother on: his identical twin brother Kane."
"I'm the real Kangaroo Commando," Kane said, standing up. "I built all the gadgets and special effects while you took all the credit!"
"Okay, that explains why you kidnapped your brother," Matter Girl said. "But why did you kidnap Dean?"
"Because he ripped off my idea! I had all the sketches planned for a great TV show about the Omni Twins. It would be darker and appropriate for older audiences and then he stole it to make that stupid cartoon!"
"Seriously?!" Stinkbomb asked, crossing her arms. "Can't anyone come up with anything original in this town?"
Tim only looked down in shame at that.
"But now the world will know at last who the real creator of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures really is!"
Kane then threw a smoke bomb down and set off a massive plume of smoke, sending everyone into a coughing fit as Wildvine stretched outwards to the chair, only to find him gone.
Outside the door, through the smoke cloud, two bolas wrapped around Tim and Abel and Kane came out of the smoke and carried them away.
As the smoke cleared, the heroes saw Kane rushing out the door as they glared.
"We've got to follow them!" Huntress shouted as they all ran out the door after him.
Kane burst out the warehouse doors and went up to the roof and approached the giant Universal Studios logo while the new episode of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures was playing on the screens behind him.
The heroes shouted out as they ran up behind him and they all got into a fighting position as he reached the edge of the roof.
"Nothing will stop me from getting my revenge! Nothing!"
"Oh no?" Lucky Girl asked. "There's five of us and only one of you."
"That's just a number," Kane growled as Wildvine stretched up to him and kicked him away
"So not cool!" he shouted.
Kane then reached at his utility belt and threw a smoke bomb at him, temporarily blinding him as Matter Girl ran up to him and started fighting hand-to-hand with him, dodging his punches before she performed a roundhouse kick to his head, which he dodged. He then tossed a bola at her, wrapping her up and sending her sprawling to the ground they were standing on.
"This is so not fair!" she shouted.
Kane then grabbed his brother and activated his jumping shoes to leap onto the Universal logo and Stinkbomb gasped as she leaped onto it and dug her claws into the frame of the metal logo.
Kane prepared to throw his brother out until they were both enveloped by a cloud of toxic gas enveloped the twins as Stinkbomb ran up and kicked Kane away and tossed Abel to her brother as he stretched out his arms and caught him.
Huntress came up to him and unsheathed a knife from her belt and cut the rope of the bola, letting him go.
"You okay?" she asked him.
"Yeah," Abel said.
Wildvine then stretched out to join his sister as they fought Kane as he leaped and dodged their punches and swipes as Stinkbomb let out a hiss at him.
As Kane attempted to stomp on them, Wildvine stretched his vine legs around his and sent him to the ground as Stinkbomb pinned his shoulders with a glare. Kane attempted to reach for his grapple gun, but Stinkbomb swatted it away with her tail.
Suddenly, the Omnitrixes let out the familiar beep and they transformed back in a flash of light, back in their Omni Suits.
"Oh man," Omni-Pink said as Kane glared and let out an uppercut to her jaw, sending her crashing down and her helmet went flying off of her head from the sudden shock and Omni-Green looked at it as the others gasped as Jen rubbed her jaw before realizing her helmet was gone.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who isn't what he appears to be," Kane said with a glare.
Omni-Green noticed the grapple gun and went to grab it, only for Kane to swat it out of his hands with a backflip.
"You brats have messed with my plans for the last time!" he shouted as he held Jen by the collar over the edge of the logo as Omni-Pink gasped.
"No!" the girls shouted from the roof of the building as Abel glared and ran up to his brother.
He then pounded on Kane's shoulders, causing him to let go of Jen. Kane then turned around, only to be met with a knuckle sandwich from his twin, knocking him unconscious as Omni-Green walked over to his sister and gave her her helmet back, which she held under her arm.
"Thanks, Mr. North," Jen said as Ben removed his helmet to him, assuming he had already figured it out.
"Looks like we can both get the job done with or without our costumes," Abel said as the crowd cheered and whistled below as Ben and Jen put their helmets back on and joined their three teammates as the park cameras were on them, displaying the heroes on every screen in the park as they all smiled and waved and Gwen played it up for the crowd.
Later, the police led Kane into the prison truck and drove away as the kids, now dressed in their normal attire again, smiled at each other.
"So, Matter Girl, huh?" Becky asked Allison.
"Did you expect me to call myself Armor or Absorbing Girl? No, already taken."
"Dean," Abel said to Tim as the kids watched. "Those Super Alien Hero Buddies of yours aren't half bad."
"You really think so?" Tim asked. "Because Kangaroo Commando has always been a major influence in my work."
"Hey, what about us?" Jen asked as she and her brother crossed their arms.
"Sorry, kids," Abel said as Jen and Ben cleared their throats and she nodded.
"So, about the Omni Twins?" she asked.
"I'm sorry," Tim said. "The Omni Twins have been all the people ever talk about on the news since they appear to show up everywhere. The networks figured that a cartoon series about their aliens would be the perfect way to attract all of the viewers in the world. Turns out they were right."
Ben sighed and looked to him. "It's alright. We forgive you. But could you at least make it so that all audiences will love it?"
"Sure," Tim sighed as he walked away with Abel.
"All's well that ends weird," Gwen chuckled as Max walked over to them, carrying a bag.
"Sorry I'm late," he said. "But we're all fixed and ready to hit the road again. You kids have a relaxing day at the park?"
The kids looked to each other and smiled.
"Relaxing in a Tennyson way," Jen said.
Becky then noticed the bag that he was holding. "Are those the spare parts from the Rust Bucket, Grandpa?"
"Oh, no," Max said. "There was a toy store next to the garage. The salesman there said these were the hottest characters on TV. I thought the twins might like them. They reminded me of their aliens."
He then pulled out a box that contained a Handy Buddy toy.
"Grandpa!" Jen shouted.
"Aw man!" Ben whined as everyone could only laugh.
