Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Destroy All Aliens
Part-1
I sincerely apologize for keeping you waiting longer than you should have. But keep this in mind: constantly pestering me about new chapters isn't going to make them come out any faster. Believe it or not, I do have a life outside of this. Sometimes you need a reality check.
At night, the Bellwood Police Department were chasing after what looked like some kind of intergalactic tank that drove on the sidewalk, breaking the streetlights and sending the civilians into a panic before it crashed into an oncoming car. It rolled over the cars with reckless abandon.
"In pursuit of runaway vehicle," the cop said as he stuck his head out the window. "Proceeding west on Pugsley Bvld. near Kline Ave."
The cops then started firing their guns out at the tank, with the bullets simply bouncing off of it. The tank then aimed its cannon at the cars, which sent out three laser beams that vertically bisected the first car, sending its parts scattering and the cops were helpless as they climbed out. It then fired some missiles from its back towards the remaining car, sending it skittering into the streets as the Rust Bucket drove after it with the Omni-Team ready to go.
"Whoa," Omni-Green said as he sharpened his energy sword construct against his gauntlet. "That's some tank, Grandpa."
"It's not a tank, doofus," Lucky Girl said. "It's a fully automated urban assault vehicle."
"You're a fully annoying assault on my eyes and ears."
"You're a fully annoying assault on my nose! Do you shower much?"
"Only to wash off your cooties!"
"Shut up, you two!" Matter Girl shouted as she cracked her joints into place in anticipation. "We're a team. We have to work together."
"Ally's right," Omni-Pink said as Huntress glared after the tank.
The tank suddenly grew six grasshopper-like legs from its frame and leaped through the streets and over the buildings, leaving our heroes in awe as it blasted out its lasers and missiles, destroying several buildings.
"Easy," Max said as he then made a sharp right turn, which knocked right into the tank's legs, sending it sprawling into a building and stopping it in its tracks.
Max smirked before they looked to see the tank right itself up on its legs before it blasted its lasers at the Rust Bucket.
Omni-Pink quickly made a forcefield around the RV and blocked the laser before it peeled away as the tank drove after them and Huntress gulped.
"We've only been living in Bellwood for three months, sis," Huntress said. "I do not want them to be our last!"
The Rust Bucket ducked under a bridge as it avoided the lasers.
"I concur," Omni-Green said with a gulp. "Jen and I don't want Emma to loser her brother and sister this soon after she was born!"
"Whatever this thing is, it's completely out of control!" Max said as he grabbed his blaster from the glove compartment and the team filed out of the Rust Bucket, hiding under the bridge as the lasers advanced.
"Which means that it's hero time," Omni-Pink said as she bowed to her brother who nodded as he activated his Omnitrix... just before Max yanked him backwards.
"Not on a school night!" Max glared. "I promised both of your parents I'd have you home by 8:00."
He then blasted at the tank with his blaster, sending it backwards a bit as Matter Girl glared and cracked her knuckles.
"Sorry, Max. You need us!"
"Well, girls, according to my watch, it's time for an Upgrade!" Omni-Green said as he popped the Omnitrix core up and adjusted the dial before slamming down the core.
The Omnitrix sunk into his arm and his skin turned black and green lines of energy scrawled their way across his body as his clothes and hair vanished into his body and his eyes merged into one and merged into a circle before he struck a pose as he finished.
The Galvanic Mechamorph then smirked as he and Jen leaped after the truck before he found himself smacking into a pink wall that Lucky Girl generated.
"Not so fast, dweeb," Lucky Girl said to Upgrade walking forward. "What this thing needs is a dismantling spell."
"Upgrade!"
"Dismantling spell!"
"Upgrade!"
"Dismantling spell!"
This cycle continued with Upgrade trying to leap forward and Lucky Girl making him go splat with her pink energy walls as the rest of the team groaned outward, trying to get this mission done as Max got knocked aside by one of the tank's legs.
"Are you guys about done?" Omni-Pink asked.
"Okay, you win," Upgrade said as Lucky Girl smiled and then snapped her fingers, dispelling her force walls before she got ready again... right before he faked her out and leaped towards the tank. "Psych!"
"Okay, you got us," Omni-Pink said as she slammed her core down and transformed into Frostblight, flying forwards as Matter Girl and Huntress ran forward and blasted away with their energy blasters as the tank glared at them and aimed its cannon at Max.
Upgrade then glared as he shot forward and constricted his liquid metal body all around the tank as it grew more blasters from its sides and blades from its legs and wheels as Upgrade shot his head out.
"Whoa. Not the kind of upgrade I had in mind."
Frostblight flew forwards and then shouted out as she blew out a strong breath of super cold air that froze the wheels and encased it in ice all the way up to its frame as she flew over to Lucky Girl and nodded as her hands glowed blue.
"Now, Lucky Girl!"
"Mechano Discombobulus!"
The girl shot out a blast of pink lightning that arced outwards and sparked around the tank and Upgrade along with it... just as Frostblight was in the spell's range and she shouted out in pain as the sparks reached the Omnitrix symbol on the clasp of her belt as she fell unconscious right into her best friend's grasp.
"Whoa! Not good!" Upgrade said as he completely lost control of the tank's mechanics as the extra parts completely fell apart... right as Max was underneath it.
He shouted out as he quickly avoided all of the pieces of the tank as they fell around him on the ground and dodged the last piece that just missed his head.
Matter Girl tackled Huntress and Lucky Girl with Frostblight in her hand as they hit the ground and Lucky Girl quickly generated a forcefield around them.
Upgrade melted all off of the tank's destroyed pieces and shot up as Frostblight weakly started to flutter her wings as pink lightning sparked all around the twins.
"Whoa!" she said as she shook it off and then the Omnitrixes timed out and the Omni-Twins were left standing in the rubble caused by the tank as they rubbed their heads.
"Um... oops," Omni-Green said.
Omni-Pink and Lucky Girl ran over and used their pink and blue auras to lift the tank parts up off of Max as he stood up.
"Grandpa," Huntress said as she helped him up. "Are you alright?"
"A few more inches and I wouldn't be," Max said as he saw the head of the destroyed cannon.
"This is all your fault!" Omni-Green and Lucky Girl shouted to each other before growing shocked. "My fault? How is it my fault!?"
"You're the peabrain who upgraded the assault vehicle!"
"Well, you're the nimrod who hit us with a dismantling spell!"
"Knock it off! Both of you!" Huntress said, knocking the two of them onto their butts with her spear with an angry look upon her face.
"The point is that the danger's over and everyone's fine," Max agreed.
"Fine!" Omni-Green said, turning her back.
"Fine," Lucky Girl said, turning as well.
"Oh man," Matter Girl said as she sighed, deactivating her suit. "Can we get this overwith? I have to get to my job at the diner."
"Allison's right," Max said. "Let's get out of here before you guys cause any more damage."
Everyone deactivated their suits and the twins sighed, putting their hands in their pockets, not noticing as the Omnitrixes sparked out with pink lightning.
Ben and Jen rode on their X-321 hoverboards through what looked like a green and pink shaded city of Bellwood with the room through the sky.
"Gwen? Grandpa?" Ben asked the void.
"Allison? Becky?" Jen asked, shrugging.
"Where is everybody?" the younger twin asked as they floated by a gas station.
They each floated around the city, looking for any kinds of life, even in the cars.
They then spotted two figures in the dark cloaked by the shadows.
Suddenly, the figure on the right ignited his flames and revealed the two figures to be...
"Heatblast? Blossom Rose?" Ben asked as they quickly activated their Omni-Suits and flew away from Heatblast as he and Blossom Rose blasted fireballs and solar beams after them with a shout.
"Why are you guys attacking us? You are us!" Jen shouted as she blasted pink energy beams after the two aliens and Ben shot out his energy cannons from his gauntlets as the two just kept on coming, Heatblast firing after them.
They then used their hoverboards to get up a building, avoiding the firestorm as Jen nodded and leaped off her hoverboard and then grabbed Heatblast before she used her telekinesis to toss him down into the firestorm.
The hoverboard then flew after her and she joined her brother at the top of the skyscraper, sighing in relief.
Suddenly, they heard a rumble and saw the wall at the top break in as Jen's Four Arms and Ben's Frankenstrike leaped out with a glare.
"Four Arms? Frankenstrike?" Jen asked.
Four Arms shouted out and Frankenstrike leaped forwards, blocking their path as Ben used his energy swords to incapacitate his Frankenstein Monster alien and the two leaped over him as Jen gave out an energy kick to her Tetramand alien and they got back onto their boards as they flew away.
"What is this? The Omnitrixes' Greatest Hits: Live?" Ben asked as they avoided the aliens as they leaped after them and crashed into the street several stories below.
"Or... is this a prank from one of Gwen's spells?" Jen asked as the twins flew away across a bridge... just as they caught a whiff of something absolutely foul and gagged in disgust as they saw their Lepidopterran and Pyrolampus forms flying after them and blasting slime balls and heat rays after them.
"Stinkfly? Firefly?" Ben asked.
The twins ducked behind an alley and let Stinkfly and Firefly leave after them.
"This definitely doesn't smell like a magic spell," Ben said as Jen nodded.
Suddenly, a hole in the wall broke through and they saw Diamondhead and Stinkbomb glare at them as Diamondhead turned his arms into blades.
"Diamondhead and Stinkbomb?" Jen asked as they avoided the toxic gas cloud and tons of crystals that followed them as they shouted out in fear as they headed to the park.
Suddenly, the Felineko and Vulpimancer forms shouted out as they followed them as Jen shouted out in fear.
"Wildmutt and Wildcat?" Jen asked as they avoided landed on the hoverboards and Jen kicked Wildcat off with an energy kick as Ben flew Wildmutt into a tree and avoided them.
"Who else wants a piece of us today?" Ben asked... right as he lost control of his hoverboard and fell off as Jen quickly leaped off of hers as Upgrade formed from Ben's and they gulped. "Upgrade? I had to ask."
The two then ran through the park, blasting out green and pink energy blasts from their cannons... right as the ground beneath them started to shift and break away as they found themselves on a hand that grew out of the ground, followed by a body as Way Big roared out and left them helpless as the other aliens all gathered on the ground beneath them.
"Way Big," Jen said with a sigh of defeat. "Why did it have to be Way Big?"
"Ben and Jen Tennyson!" Way Big shouted.
"What do you want from us?!" Ben said as he and his sister prepared themselves.
"YOUR HOMEWORK!"
"That is, if you care to stay awake long enough to turn it in," the teacher said as Ben and Jen suddenly shouted out with a start as they fell out of their seats... right as the entire class laughed at them except for Casey and Simone, who groaned out in embarrassment as they covered their faces.
"Oh yes, sir," Jen said as she handed hers out to him. "Here you go."
The teacher took her's as Ben handed in his... right as his Omnitrix sparked out pink energy as the teacher groaned.
"Turn off that blasted watch alarm... and where's the homework?" the teacher asked as Ben looked and saw the paper was gone.
"Uh, didn't I just..."
"Get an F on your homework? Yes."
The kids in the class all laughed out and pointed at Ben as Jen glared hatefully at them with two obvious exceptions as the bell rang.
"And don't you kids forget: your history reports are due Monday."
"What history reports?" Ben asked as Jen gulped adn realized she had forgotten about it.
"Oh man. Being a hero isn't easy."
The teacher took Ben's notebook and rifled through the pictures of the Omni-Twins as their heroes fighting alongside their allies.
"Maybe next time, you should use your planner for writing down class assignments instead of doodling monsters."
"They're not monsters, they're aliens!" Jen piped up as she quickly covered her mouth as the teacher flipped the pages over... to find one of himself in an embarrassing position.
"...Except for that one," Ben sighed.
"You just earned a detention to go with that F, Mr. Tennyson. And your sister better keep her mouth shut if she doesn't want to join you."
"*sigh* Yes, sir," Jen said as Ben took his notebook back and they went back out to their lockers where they took their stuff out.
"We're supposed to be saving the world, not doing reports on it," Ben sighed.
"I know, bro. But there's nothing we can do about it now," Jen said as they sighed.
"Could our lives get any worse since summer ended?" Ben asked as Cash and J.T. suddenly appeared.
"That's a pretty tall order for dweebs like you, Tennyson!" Cash said as Jen glared and wagged her finger back and forth.
"When I get my hands on you, I'll..." Jen began as J.T. grabbed her and her brother and stuffed them in their lockers, clearly not afraid.
"Wow. They both actually fit in one of them," J.T. said as the bullies ran away.
"HEY!" Ben shouted.
"HELP! Hello? Anyone?" Jen asked as Ben smiled.
"Hey, I know where we can get a hand. Or better yet four of them."
Sister smiled to brother as they slammed their cores down and transformed into... Heatblast and XLR8.
"Heatblast?" he asked. "Not what I was going for, but it'll do."
XLR8 then kicked the door open with her strong legs as they got out and smiled.
That was when the smoke detectors activated the sprinklers due to the heat from Heatblast's body.
"Ugh. What a boring day," a kid said to her friend as they walked out of the school.
"Yeah. Nothing exciting ever happens in this town."
That was when a blue blur sped out of the building and a ball of fire shot out following her as they raced off to home.
A trail of footprints burned into the pavement led up to the new Tennyson household that they bought and furnished a month ago and Heatblast walked into his room and sighed as XLR8 zoomed into her room and sighed.
"Why does this thing never time out when I want it to?" Heatblast asked as he heard a knock on his door.
"Ben! Come out here this instant young man!" Carl said to his son.
"Just a second, Dad!" Heatblast said, trying to make his voice sound normal.
He then waited until the Omnitrix timed out as he and his sister looked out to see their parents looking at them. Sandra was holding their new baby sister, Emma Tennyson, in her arms as she looked very similar to Lily Loud with thin blonde hair that their mother had and their dad's brown eyes as they looked.
"Ben? Jen?" Sandra asked.
"Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad," Jen said as she smiled and playfully kissed her new sister's head. "And hi, little Emma."
Emma playfully babbled as Jen cooed her.
"Can you two tell us why the entire house is covered in scorch marks?" Carl asked as he gestured to Heatblast's burned footprints that led up to Ben's room.
"We can explain!" Ben said as he looked at his Omnitrix. "Actually... no we can't. You wouldn't believe us if we told you."
"And what's this that we hear about you two falling asleep in class?" Sandra asked as she handed the baby to Jen, who patted her back gently.
"I'm afraid that we're going to have to ground you two, kids," Carl said as Jen groaned.
"But, Dad! We're supposed to go fishing with Grandpa Max and Ally this weekend!"
"You two spent the entire summer with your grandpa," Sandra said, holding his wife close. "Missing one weekend with him won't be the end of the world."
"Okay," Jen sighed, putting her head down. "You're right."
Rex then walked up to her and barked as she bent down and scratched him behind his ears as she smiled.
"At least I always have you and Emma to be on my side, Rex. Yes, I do. Yes, I do."
"Please tell me that it's the end of the world, Grandpa!?" Ben asked as he talked over his laptop camera phone. "Please tell us that there's a life-or-death alien situation that the Omni-Team has to deal with this weekend!"
"Can't overrule your parents, Ben," Max said as Jen sighed on her camera as well. "And that goes with you too, Jen."
"I wish we had never come home from our road trip," Jen said as she silently practiced her guitar to herself with a sigh as
"Summer can't last forever. Everybody's got to get off the road sometime."
"Not superheroes like us, Grandpa," Ben said.
"Guys, don't make the same mistake I almost made with your father. There's no point in saving the universe if you lose your family."
Later, Ben began typing his history report into his laptop with a groan.
"'First Person Narrative from the Point of View of a Crew Member During the Age of Exploration.' Ugh, just shoot me now."
That was when his Omnitrix shot out a blast of green and pink energy that vaporized his laptop and he shot out of his seat.
"I didn't mean literally! And since when can you vaporize laptops? What's going on with you anyway?" He sighed. "Well, I guess desperate times call for desperate measures."
Gwen's phone rung as she picked it up and sighed.
"Hello?"
"Gwen. How's my favorite cousin?"
"What do you want, Ben?"
"I don't need a reason to keep in touch with family like you and Becky. It's just always nice to shoot the breeze with the smartest person I know."
"Okay, who are you and what have you done with Ben? Is Jen mind-controlling you with her powers?"
"Wow, clever. In fact, you're so clever that if I were to randomly pick a topic, say, the Age of Exploration, you could rattle off a bunch of interesting facts. Enough to fill a first person narrative."
"Nice try, cuz. But you need to experience the joy of research yourself. I'm not helping you cheat."
"Come on. Just do me this one favor."
"No. You can't just expect all life's answers to just come flying in through the window."
As soon as the words left her mouth, a Petrosapien crystal flew through the window and Jen burst into the room to see what was going on.
"Right, gotta go! Smell ya later," Ben said as Jen gasped and looked through the window to see two old friends come down as they degenerated their helmets to reveal...
"Tetrax? Maya?" Jen asked as she noticed a small creature floating by Maya. It had a thick, round, translucent blue membrane resembling a jellyfish's hood. Within this membrane were four red, spherical organs resembling nuclei with red connections. It had three leech-like fangs, one larger than the other. lt floated by Maya and rested on her shoulder as she glanced.
"I believe that we need to talk, you two," Maya said as the two sighed.
"We'll get the hoverboards."
"So?" Jen asked as she floated by Maya. "What is that thing by you?"
"Ridley is a Metroid," Maya said as Ridley floated next to her and brushed against her chest lovingly like a child to its mother. "My family is famous for hunting them, but since an experiment that infused my Mom with Metroid DNA, Metroids don't attack us or our friends anymore. We're kind of human Queen Metroids if that makes sense. So, Ridley here is kind of like my hunting dog."
The Metroid squeaked before flying close to Jen and snuggled next to her as Maya chuckled.
"Ridley, down," she ordered as Ridley flew back to her and flew next to her shoulder.
"Now on to why we're here," Tetrax said. "We received an urgent message from Azmuth."
"The creator of the Omnitrixes?" Ben asked. "What did he want?"
"He did not specify. Only that he needed to meet with you two right away."
"Yes!" Ben said.
"Only problem is that we're grounded. We're not even supposed to be out of the house all weekend," Jen said. "Our folks are going to kill us."
"I see. I guess you don't have to meet-"
"On the other hand, it would be rude for us to stand up Azmuth."
Maya smiled and the four flew down into an open clearing in the woods. Tetrax held up his gauntlet which started to glow as a green aura appeared in the ground below as the Resolute deactivated its cloaking device.
"That's odd," Maya said as she sat down on a rock with Ridley floating beside her. "Azmuth told us he would be meeting us directly at these coordinates."
"Wait a minute, Azmuth's coming here?" Jen asked. "I thought we would be going on another space road trip?"
"Sorry to disappoint you two," Tetrax said as he saw the twins' Omnitrixes sparking out pink and green energy that they quickly covered. "Is something wrong with your Omnitrixes?"
"Uh... no," Ben began as Jen quickly got onto her hoverboard and her brother followed suit.
"I think that we'll go look for Azmuth right now!" Jen said as they took off.
"Ben, Jen, wait!" Maya called.
The two hovered alongside the road as Jen wiped her brow.
"That was close. What is up with these things?"
That was when they looked and saw their Omnitrixes spark green and pink energy outwards that illuminated the night sky.
"That can't be good," Ben said.
They looked to the side and saw a flatbed truck move into their path and Jen screamed outwards as the truck honked and pulled over as Ben and Jen briefly skimmed the truck's length and crashed into the woods, sending their hoverboards flying.
"Ow," Jen said as she gave Ben her hand and helped him up as they quickly ran over to the truck as it rested in the clearing.
"Hey! Are you okay?" Ben asked as they moved to the truck, which had crashed into a tree nearby.
The twins heard a crunching sound and they looked up and rolled their eyes in defeat as a large tree branch fell down and pinned them underneath it, restraining their hands from using the Omnitrixes.
"Oh boy," Jen said as she looked up and saw that through the trees, a Way Big with purple armor and red piercing eyes looming through the horizon and roared at the top of its lungs moved towards them.
"Wow. You look like Way Big, only way uglier."
The Evil Way Big roared and moved towards them in big strides as Jen's eyes glowed pink and she levitated the tree branch off of her and Ben... just as a large energy blast flew forwards and hit Evil Way Big's foot followed by some crystals, causing him to roar out in pain.
"Tetrax! Maya!" Ben said as they quickly activated their Omnitrixes.
"Where did this To'Kustar come from? And why is it attacking?!" Maya asked as Ridley loomed over her shoulder. "I don't think that a Metroid would be cut out for this, Ridley."
"Talk later," Jen said as she and Ben adjusted their Omnitrixes to Way Big and Rainbowgon. "It's hero time!"
"Way Big hero time!" Ben said as they slammed the cores down.
Ben's watch sank into his arm as the skin hardened and turned into a green exoskeleton with the hand becoming black with three clawed fingers. His head morphed, growing four golden insectoid eyes that blinked vertically and his face turned black. His body reshaped, becoming insectoid, as six green insect legs grew out of his sides, two green silk wings grew from his back, and his abdomen grew a large black stinger. The watch symbol appeared on his forehead as he flapped his wings in a pose.
Jen's watch started surging with pink energy then covered her whole body with a pink energy surge, and she float in the air as she spun around then curled up as her body got wrapped by multiple lava-like silks until she was conceal within the lava-theme pupa then changed to orange crystal form. The pupa start cracking then a long insectoid arm with three claws, spikes on the arm and coated with orange exoskeleton smashed of the pupa then her long legs with long thin talons and finally her head, which she matured to a young woman with light-orange skin and wore crown-like horns on her head, has C-cup breastbones, very large abdomen with light-like orb at the bottom tip and a pair of large skin-like wings. Her clothes consisted of a one-piece pink and white bodysuit with wholes for the legs. She is now a humanoid firefly-like creature with the watch symbol on her forehead. She floated around gracefully as she open her eyes, revealing her black needle-like pupils with green sclera as she gave a elegant smile, threw a kick in the air, spun around and float gracefully as she finished her transformation.
"Seriously?" Firefly asked. "Don't these things ever work when we want them to?"
"Oh well," Stinkfly said as they flew in, only to be intercepted by the bounty hunters.
"Not so fast," Tetrax told them as he nodded to Maya.
"First rule in battle: always concentrate on your opponent's weak point," Maya explained. "In the case of the To'Kustars, it's the fin on their heads."
"We'll keep him distracted! You two go!" Tetrax shouted as he bore his arm blades and Maya charged into battle as well.
Tetrax threw out several crystals that embedded themselves in Evil Way Big's leg and he roared out angrily as he kicked him through several trees and knocked him unconscious.
"Uh-oh," Maya said pathetically as she grabbed her hoverboard and flew away from the scene.
Stinkfly and Firefly flew upwards and then smirked.
"Okay, Way Bad," Firefly said as she blasted out her heat ray along with Stinkfly's slime blasts. "Prepare to feel the sting of the Omni-Twins!"
That was when the Omnitrixes started timing out rather quicker than usual.
"NOT NOW!" Stinkfly shouted as the twins were sent hurtling downwards as Jen quickly created an energy platform beneath her and she floated her and her brother over to the To'Kustar's head fin as they gulped.
"Please recharge, please recharge!" Jen gulped as the Omnitrixes started up again.
"Alright!" Ben said. "Now it's time to-"
The Omnitrixes then sent out a blast of green and pink energy again that engulfed the To'Kustar and caused him to disappear in an instant.
"Oh crap."
The twins were sent hurtling down to the ground again only to be saved by Tetrax on his hoverboard as he lowered them down to the ground again.
"Thanks, Tetrax," Jen said.
"No, thank you two. You destroyed the To'Kustar," Tetrax said.
"We did? I mean, we did!" Ben said. "Awesome! Now they're vaporizing evil aliens!"
Meanwhile, Gwen looked at two containers of grubs in her hand as she groaned in disgust as Max came in and buckled up in the driver's seat in the Rust Bucket.
"All set to go fishing you two?" Max asked his granddaughters. "I already got the bait and lunch."
"Um... which is which?" Gwen asked, clearly nauseous from the thought.
Max's phone began ringing and he picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Dad? Are Ben and Jen with you?" Carl asked as he and his wife stood in Ben's room worried as Sandra held Emma in her hands and cradled her with worry.
"I thought they were grounded?"
"They are. But they're gone. You don't think something's happened to them?"
"Don't worry, son. We'll find the twins. They can't have gone too far."
"What are you talking about, Grandpa?" Becky asked. "They always go too far."
The group stood by The Resolute and pondered what had just happened.
"I fear that the To'Kustar's arrival may have had something to do with Azmuth's delay," Tetrax said.
"We should contact your grandfather," Maya suggested as Ridley purred next to her.
"No!" Ben shouted. "I mean, we need to search for Azmuth. Cover the whole galaxy if we have to! Whatever it takes!"
"This suggestion wouldn't have anything to do with you being grounded, would it?" Maya chided the two with a smirk.
"Did we say 'grounded' before?" Jen asked, quickly coming up with an excuse to cover herself. "I meant... grounded in reality! Like real heroes! Yeah, that!"
The group then walked into the Resolute with Ridley following them as Gluto smiled and waved over to them as they waved back.
Tetrax then took their Omnitrix arms and had them hold them out.
"We need to make the final preparations," Tetrax said as he examined their wrists and they quickly took them back.
"Our watches are fine!" Ben said.
"This is for your own protection, kids," Maya said with a stern look on her face as her pet floated alongside her. "We have a long journey ahead of us."
"Just like old times, eh, bro?" Jen asked with a smile as he nodded to her.
The bounty hunter partners nodded to each other as they held their hands against the Omnitrixes that glowed out with a white light as the twins stood in awe.
"What did you guys just do?"
"We'll explain the new feature once we're in orbit," Tetrax said. "Gluto, prepare for takeoff."
Gluto nodded and activated the controls as the Resolute took off into orbit as they looked out with a smile.
"Oh yeah," Ben said. "The two of us saving the universe again. This is the life. No more teachers, no more bullies, no more getting grounded and no more stupid homework assignments."
As Jen sighed in relief, they heard a massive bump on the Resolute's ship, sending everyone stumbling forward.
"Whoa! What was that?" Jen asked as Ben helped her up.
"We've been hit!" Maya shouted as the team felt a massive blast hit the wall and tore open a hole that sucked all of the atmosphere out of the ship... and the twins along with it as they fell through the hole.
"Ben! Jen! No!" Tetrax shouted.
"TETRAX!" Ben shouted as they fell right back down to their home planet and their certain doom along with it as they quickly activated their Omni-Suits as they hurriedly slammed the cores down.
"Oh, what in Cinnibar!" Jen shouted as she glared at her watch. "Work, you blasted piece of space junk!"
Just as they hit the ground, they had transformed into their Petrosapien and Tetramand forms as Ben as Diamondhead and Jen as Four Arms groaned outwards.
"Ow." Diamondhead said as the two helped each other out of the crater and looked to see that they were on an open road somewhere in the country.
"Okay," Four Arms said. "You did say that you wanted to get away from it all, Ben."
"The question is... where are we?" Diamondhead asked as they looked at the scenery.
After the Rust Bucket had picked up Allison, Gwen levitated in a meditative position in the front seat with her eyes and hands glowing pink as she sighed to her sister, grandfather and her friend.
"I can't pick up on exactly where either of the twins are with the locator spell," Gwen told them. "I've tried everything. This is the last place I picked up on any trace of their energies."
The Rust Bucket pulled over towards the clearing where the battle with the To'Kustar happened. The group got out and shone their flashlights over the trees and saw several crystals embedded in them.
"Looks like there was some kind of battle here," Max examined as he looked at the truck that was crashed into the tree.
"Yeah," Allison said. "An alien battle."
"How did that truck get here?" Becky asked.
Gwen squinted before she gasped. "Uh, sis? I don't think that's a truck."
She then crossed her arms and then shot them out to dispell the illusion to reveal a space ship.
"Whoa. A cloaking device," Allison said.
"Wait a minute," Becky said. "Guys, we know this spaceship!"
That was when the four suddenly had a green light shine down on them from above as they looked to see the Resolute touch down by them.
"And that one too!" Allison said. "That's Tetrax and Maya's ship!"
Speak of the devil as the hatch opened up and the two bounty hunters glared at Gwen, Becky, Max and Allison as Ridley floated by Maya's shoulder as Maya crossed her arms.
"We need to talk."
The Omni-Twins walked down the road as they saw the Omnitrix symbols start to beep down in pink and green.
"Finally," Diamondhead said. "We can get a ride without freaking out the driver."
Suddenly, a flash of green and pink light flashed out to reveal... Four Arms and Stinkbomb.
"Huh?" Stinkbomb asked. "Ben, why didn't we turn human?"
Four Arms touched his Omnitrix symbol and sighed. "Maybe it's that new feature that Tetrax and Maya added and it's not allowing us to turn human again."
Stinkbomb groaned as they continued to walk up the road... only to come across a very peculiar sight.
"You must be kidding," Four Arms gasped as they looked ahead of them to see... Stonehenge.
"Stonehenge?" Stinkbomb asked. "We're in England?"
