Chapter 87: Weapon XI: Part 1

We open on a barn, of which Alan Albright walks towards and enters. Closing the door behind himself, he transforms into his Pyronite form and lights a lantern from afar, brightening the barn. He reverts back to his human form and begins tinkering with a truck. As he tightens a bolt on the underside of the vehicle, someone opens the barn doors, prompting him to get up and find Kevin, (F/N), Rosie, Argit and Zed.

(F/N): Hey match head.

Kevin: Hey, Alan. Long time.

Alan: What do you want, Kevin and Ally? Last time you two showed up, you both drained my power.

Kevin: Yeah. Sorry about that.

(F/N): Our bad.

Alan: Sorry?! *sarcastically* Oh, goodness me. Kevin and Kelly Levin are sorry. Let's go grab a pie from the windowsill, cut us a couple of slices and let bygones be bygones.

Argit: *oblivious* Wait a minute- there's pie? *Gets smacked by (F/N)’s tail* Ow!

Kevin: Look, Alan, we really are sorry.

(F/N): And we're just here to talk- honest.

Alan: Nothing to talk about. Now, I'd appreciate it if you guys turned around and got off my property.

Kevin: Okay, okay. No talkin'. How about I show you?

Kevin reveals to Alan the energy he had absorbed from Servantis jolting around his fingers. As he draws closer, Alan transforms into his Pyronite form and jumps back.

Alan: Back off!

Kevin, surprised by Alan's reaction, hides his hand and is tail smacked by (F/N).

Kevin: Ow! What was that for?

(F/N): For being an idiot.

Argit: Oh, lose the barbecue, kid. You're not in any danger.

Suddenly, something crashes through the wall of the barn. The dust settles, revealing it to be Agent Swift.

Argit: Okay, now you're in danger.

Swift surveys her surroundings, seeing both Kevin, (F/N), and Alan are present.

Swift: Looks like we got ourselves an old-fashioned hootenanny.

Kevin, (F/N), Rosie, and Zed are sent flying out of the barn by one of Swift's neuroshock blasts, who in turn is sent through the roof by a stream of Alan's fire, taking the fight outside. Alan exits the barn, hurling fireballs at Swift, who is able to effortlessly dodge the attacks and retaliate. Argit, assuring his safety, sneaks out of the barn and passes by Kevin and (F/N).

Argit: Well, you win some, you lose some. It's not like we didn't try. Que será, será.

Kevin notices a piece of the barn door Argit is walking over and pulls it out from under him, absorbing it's properties.

Kevin: Hang on, Alan!

(F/N): Help is on the way! *To Argit* And you! You're not going anywhere!

Argit: *Gulps* Gotcha.

Alan, still dodging Swift's lasers, fires at Kevin and (F/N) which they are able to avoid.

Kevin: Hey! I'm made out of wood!

(F/N): What's your problem?

Alan: My problem? Only all of this!

Swift shoots another laser, hitting and igniting the tree next to Alan.

Kevin: We're trying to save you.

Alan: Right. You, (F/N), Argit, a green alien cat thing, some weird alien-dog thing, and your new Jetray girlfriend here?

Kevin: Ugh, she's not my girlfriend.

Alan: Not the point!

Alan bats away Kevin and (F/N), causing his shoulder to catch fire and (F/N), which he, Rosie and Zed try to put out.

Argit: For the record, I wanted to leave.

Alan propels himself into the air with his pyrokinetic abilities, continuing his fight with Swift. However, she is able to fire a blast at him, sending him back to the ground and reverting him back to his human form.

Swift: You are coming with me, Alan Albright.

Swift fires another neuroshock blast, which travels along the ground. Kevin and (F/N) jump in front of the fire.

Kevin: No, he's coming with us!

Kevin and (F/N) take the brunt of the attack.

Alan: You two really are here to help me.

Kevin and (F/N): No duh.

Swift attacks with another blast, which Kevin and (F/N) once again shields Alan from.

Kevin: Aah!

Alan: Then how come Ben isn't with you? *To (F/N)* Or Danny?

Kevin: Ben's got bigger problems.

(F/N): And Danny's got even bigger problems too.

Meanwhile, Ben, Danny, and Rook are hanging out at a Mr. Smoothy. Ben is trying to slurp down a smoothie and is struggling to do so.

Danny: Dude, you've been trying to drink that smoothie for over an hour and a half, just get another one.

Rook: Danny is right, Perhaps you should just ask them to make you another. Clearly, this smoothie is not smooth enough.

Ben: No smoothie's gonna get the best of Ben 10! *to smoothie* You hear that, double-guava-gumball-gulp? You're going down.

Ben begins slurping the smoothie again as Rook and Danny raise an eye. Ben swallows the smoothie and briefly grins at Rook and Danny, before ultimately succumbing to the smoothie.

Ben: BRAIN FREEZE! GAH-HA-AHH! *runs off* AAH-HA-AAAAH!

Rook: I know your brain cannot possibly be frozen by such an undertaking.

Danny: This is Ben we're talking about.

Ben continues running around in pain, accidentally bumping into someone or two someones

Ben: Gwen? Paulina?

Rook: Gwendolyn! Paulina! To what do we owe this unexpected visit?

Gwen: What... is... this? *holds up a letter*

Paulina: I got the same thing too *holds up another letter*

Rook: *to Gwen* We have not seen Kevin and Kelly Levin since our encounter with the Rooters.

Ben: Yeah, they've been off the grid.

Danny: I don't think they want us to find them.

Gwen: Which makes him sending this to me even more strange.

Paulina: And (F/N) sending me this too.

Ben: *takes letter from Gwen* "My dearest Gwendolyn-" Oh, cheese balls! It's a love letter. I'm not reading it. *hands back the letter*

Danny: *Takes letter from Paulina* “My dearest sweet Paulina-” Oh come on! I got the same love letter too! I'm not reading this either. *Hands back the letter*

Rook: Aww, how thoughtful of Kevin and Kelly.

Gwen: Exactly! Something is definitely wrong.

Ben: Yeah, that's not like them at all- like at all, at all.

Danny: And it's like (F/N) to leave a letter at all.

Gwen: *Reading* "My dearest Gwendolyn-"

Paulina: *Reading* “My dearest sweet Paulina-”

Ben: *covers ears* Aaaaah! That doesn't mean you two have to read it out loud.

Danny: *Covers ears* Make it stop! Not even Sam would like this!

Gwen: *Reading* “You have ben the most wonderful girlfriend for so manny years. I can hardly remember my life before I met you. Your arrow did pierce my heart forever, and nothing but your love could ever phil the void."

Paulina: *Reading* “You have ben the most Danny-iest, Jazz-iest, wonderful girlfriend and wife for so manny years. I can hardly remember my life before I met you. Your arrow did pierce my heart forever, and nothing but your love could ever phil the void. Without you my life wouldn't be the Sam and I would be too Tucker-ed out."

Ben: Stop! Seriously! Me and Danny are drowning in sap.

Rook takes the love letters

Rook: There are numerous grammatical and spelling errors in both letters. Maybe it is a cipher. *returns the letters to Gwen and Paulina*

Gwen’ I tried every way I can think of to decode it- held it up to a mirror and in front of a light, scrambled and descrambled it. I spent hours online, running it through translators.

Paulina: *to Gwen Don't you know a decoding spell or something?

Gwen knocks her head for not having thought of Paulina's suggestion.

Gwen: Tuum Manifestes Occulta.

The letters fly off the papers and return to it rearranged.

Gwen: Um, " Me and (F/N) got Alan. You get Manny. Helen. Null Void."

Paulina: *Reads* “Get Jazz, Sam, and Tucker, ghost weapons, and get Manny. Helen, Null Void.”

Gwen: I've got to go help Kevin!

Paulina: And I got to go help (F/N)!

Ben: As if we're not coming with you. *is handed the letter* "Don't tell Ben"? Oh, now I'm definitely coming with you.

Danny: And as if I'm not going with you either. *Is handed the other letter* “Whatever you do, don't tell Danny”? Alright now I'm coming with you.

Back at Alan's barn, the battle rages on, with Kevin and (F/N) enduring multiple blasts from Swift. Suddenly, Zed and Rosie leap into the air and bite down on Swift's tail, forcing her down.

Swift: Aah! Get off.

Swift fires a neuroshock blast at Zed and Rosie, setting herself free.

Zed and Rosie: *yelps*

(F/N): Nobody hurts Rosie!

Kevin: Nobody hurts my dog!

Kevin and (F/N) tackle Swift as she continuously fires blasts at their face. As she gains the upper hand and is about to unleash another blast, she is suddenly assaulted by an onslaught of quills. Argit arises from nearby crops.

Argit: Somebody's cranky! Nap time?

Argit continues firing a stream of quills at Swift, while Kevin chucks a rock at her and (F/N) fires some laser blasts at her.

Swift: *weakly* Keep running, Levins.

Swift makes a quick escape using a Null Void Projector and the portal closes behind her.

In the Rooter Headquarters, Swift appears from the portal. Servantis, Leander and Phil appear before her.

Servantis: Agent Swift, you return empty-handed.

Swift: Agent Levins were there, collecting the experiments before we can.

Proctor Servantis holds her chin up towards himself.

Servantis: Before you can. Phillip, Leander, prepare to move on the others.

At the barn, Kevin reverts back to his normal form and so does (F/N).

Alan: All right, I'm listening. What's this all about?

Kevin: We promise, this will all make sense to you in a minute.

Alan: Why do I have a feeling I'm gonna regret this?

(F/N): Probably because you are, *to Kevin* Do it.

Kevin uses the energy he had absorbed to restore Alan's memories.

5 years prior to Omniverse.

A 6-year-old Alan is brought down a flight of stairs in the Rooter Headquarters by Servantis. They enter a room.

Servantis: And this, Alan, will be your living quarters.

Alan looks and sees two kids on a beanbag watching a movie on a large TV, who turns around a looks at him. Another kid, reading a book next to a wall, does the same. Another two kids follow suit, with one slurping from a drink. The first kid speaks.

Kevin: 'Sup?

(F/N): Hi new kid.

Alan: Who are you guys?

Servantis: They're your roommates- orphans, runaways, outcasts, like you. Kevin, Kelly,  please make young Alan feel right at home.

Servantis exits the room.

Alan: So, what is this place?

Kevin: *chuckles* Yeah, the Proctor isn't big on info, huh? Ever been to summer camp?

Alan shrugs. The kid with four arms walks up to Alan.

Manny: Well, you have now... sort of. Manny.

Alan: Alan.

The more lizard-like kid skates over to Alan extremely quickly, startling him.

Helen: I'm Helen. *points to the kid reading*  That's my brother Pierce. And you know what else? You're it! *giggles*

Helen tags Alan and speeds off.

Manny: Don't bother. You won't catch her.

Kevin: Grab a bag, Alan.

(F/N): Welcome to basic.

In the present.

Alan: I-I don't remember any of that.

Argit: It's a lot to take in, huh?

Kevin: Well, take it in on the road.

(F/N): Yeah, no idea when the Rooters might be back.

The group leaves the farm in Kevin's car.

Alan: What about the others? They're going to need our help, too.

Kevin: Already got it covered.

Meanwhile, Ben, Danny, Paulina, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Gwen and Rook are flying in the Proto-TRUK.

Jazz: I can't believe we're in a spaceship!

Paulina: Well believe it later were on a mission.

Gwen: *impatiently* Can't this thing go any faster?

Ben: What's the hurry?

Rook: Manny and Helen are trained Plumbers. They should be able to handle the Rooters until our arrival.

Paulina: Rook one of them can turn into a large energy sucking monster and the other is a NRG laser blaster with legs.

Tucker: Please tell me you're joking.

Paulina: There's no joking when it comes with the Rooters.

Sam: Oh come on I'm sure these guys we'll be fine, it's Rook said.

On Khoros, Manny and Helen are pushing Gorvan on a stretcher into a Plumber Ship.

Manny: For once, I'd like to be up against some heavy hitters, not heavy eaters.

Behind them, a portal opens up, from where Leander and Phil exit. Leander readies his laser and Phil smirks.

Helen: You just had to say that.

Helen and Manny engage in a shoot-out with Leander. Manny takes cover behind the entrance ramp to their ship and continues firing.

Manny: Now, this is more like it! Whoo!

Gorvan awakes and sits up on his stretcher, only to be met by a laser beam from Leander, which he narrowly dodges. Gorvan flees the scene as Phil transforms into his Terroranchula form. Helen creates a vortex around Phil as she shoots at him, but he is able to catch and throw her against a leg of the Plumber ship. Just as the ship is about to fall from instability, Manny grabs Helen and gets out of the way. Just as Phil and Leander run towards the two, a missile lands in front of them and explodes. They look upwards and see the Proto-TRUK flying at them. The Proto-TRUK docks and the back opens up, revealing Ben and Gwen.

Ben: Helen!

Gwen: Manny!

Helen: Ben!

Manny: Gwen!

Helen and Manny climb aboard the Proto-TRUK. Helen notices the pilot and team Phantom.

Helen: And... friends?

Rook: Rook.

Paulina: Paulina.

Sam: Sam.

Tucker. Tucket.

Danny: Danny.

Jazz: Jazz.

Rook and Danny continue the assault on the Rooters, forcing them to retreat back into the Null Void. The Proto-TRUK begins its flight back to Earth.

At Paik's Body Shop, Kevin and (F/N) are searching for something.

Kevin: *sighs* Where is it?

(F/N): It's got to be here.

Zed and Rosie look behind some boxes and drags out a Null Void Projector.

Kevin: Attagirl, Zed!

(F/N): Good girl Rosie

Argit: Is that what I think it is? Unh-unh. No way I'm going back into the Null Void. Not even for you, buddies.

Kevin: Don't worry your prickly little head.

(F/N): Me and Kevin are going alone.

Argit: Well, if you insist, I'll, you know, sit this one out, you know, for the team.

Alan: I won't. I owe you both.

Kevin: Are you nuts? Me and (F/N) just got blasted to splinters trying to keep you away from these guys.

(F/N): And dragging you back into the Null Void.

Alan: But I've got to go back. I need answers. Besides, it's just summer camp. I mean, you told me so yourself.

Argit: Uh, maybe you didn't zap him enough.

(F/N): Let me do this one.

(F/N) puts her fingers to Alan's head again.

Alan: Hey!

5 years prior to Omniverse.

Proctor Servantis is standing over a young Alan

Servantis: There is nothing to fear, young man. We have perfected the operation.

Alan, strapped to a table, is reoriented vertically.

Kevin: Yeah, no worries. It's worked with all the other kids.

(F/N): You won't feel a thing. Well maybe a little tickle.

Kevin is strapped to an identical table, and so is (F/N),. as is a Pyronite. All four have headgear on, connecting each other.

Servantis: That's right. And Mr. And Ms. Levin here are the keys to it all. Do you know what DNA is, Alan?

Alan: The building blocks of life?

Servantis: That is correct. Now, Kevin and Kelly have a very special, one-of-a-kind mutation in his DNA that makes it possible for us to live-graft your DNA with that of our other friend over there. *points to the Pyronite* When we are finished, you will have great powers and be able to do great things.

Servantis activates the machine the three are strapped to.

Servantis: This isn't going to hurt a bit.

Servantis types on his computer and DNA from the Pyronite travels through a cord connected to his headgear. The DNA is then brought to Kevin's headgear, causing him to wince then to (F/N)’s headgear as she winces a bit too and the DNA finally makes it to Alan's headgear.

Alan: Hey! Kind of tickles.

Servantis: *to Kevin and (F/N)*  Thanks to you, the universe will be saved from the coming storm.

Kevin: Yeah, well, the way we see it, the coming storm has it coming.

(F/N): And he's gonna get what he deserves.

The machine finishes the operation and shuts down. Servantis briefly uses his electrokinetic abilities on Alan.

Alan: Aah!

Servantis: How do you feel, son?

Alan: Exactly the same? It didn't work.

(F/N): Give it a second.

Alan is suddenly engulfed in flames, transformed into his Pyronite form.

Kevin Was I right, or was I right?

Alan creates a small flame between his fingertips.

Alan: Coolest thing ever! *laughs*

Kevin and (F/N): You're welcome.

5 years later, in the present.

Alan, shocked, stumbles back and assumes his Pyronite form.

Alan: The Rooters used us.

Kevin and (F/N): Yep.

Alan:.And replaced our memories, our lives, with fake ones!

Argit: Yep.

Alan: We have to do something!

Kevin: Me and (F/N) have to do something.

(F/N): You all could have lived normal lives if it wasn't for us.  Me and Kevin are not putting you in harm's way again now.

Alan: But I want to help.

Kevin: Then take care of Zed for me.

(F/N): And watch over Rosie for me too.

Zed and Rosie whines.

Kevin: Goodbye, girl. *hugs Zed* Be good.

(F/N): Rosie be good to Alan. *Hugs Rosie and kisses her forehead*

Kevin activates the Null Void Projector and he and (F/N) step in as it closes behind them. Zed and Rosie whimpers.

Argit: *to Alan* You want to split a pizza? I think Kevin left some in the fridge.

Argit begins to search for pizza in the fridge.

Ben: I'll take a slice.

Argit bumps his head on the roof of the fridge and he turns around to find Ben, Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Paulina, Rook, Gwen, Manny and Helen present.

Gwen: Where's Kevin?

Paulina: And where's (F/N)?

In the Null Void, Kevin and (F/N) are traversing the rocky terrain until he finds the Rooter Headquarters.

(F/N): One of the many places I did not wanna come to.

Kevin: Ditto.

In the base, Swift flies over to Proctor Servantis.

Swift: Perimeter breach in sector 7G, sir.

The monitor in front of Servantis switches between cameras until it reaches the camera tracking Kevin and (F/N)’s presence.

Swift: I'll be there before the Levins know what hit him.

Servantis presses a button on the computer.

Servantis: Allow them to proceed.

On the camera, Kevin and (F/N) are seen absorbing the base's material and forming a blade in place of one of his arms. He breaks open a panel using the blade and he and (F/N) make their way further in.

At Paik's Body Shop, Argit is explaining the whereabouts of Kevin.

Argit: I insisted on going along, but they- they had their minds set on going it alone.

Alan: They blame themselves for letting the Rooters live-graft our DNA with aliens.

Danny: Woah what?

Manny: I'm still not buying it.

Alan: You, me, Helen, Pierce.

Argit: That- that one was my DNA.

Manny: Look, I know who we are! We ain't nobody's experiment!

Helen: We're human-alien hybrids.

Alan: I'm telling you, those are false memories implanted by the Rooters. We were created to prevent some coming storm from destroying the entire universe.

Ben: Been there. Done that.

Danny: Ditto.

Rook: Please never do it again.

Manny: And Kevin and (F/N)-

Gwen: Are alone in the Null Void with the Rooters.

Paulina: And whatever else is in there.

Gwen activates the Null Void Projector and she and Paulina begin to walk towards the portal, before Argit runs in front of them.

Argit: Now, hold on a second. How dare you- all of you? My best friends- your boyfriend- -your girlfriend, made it clear he did not want to be followed. And I, for one, refuse to besmirch their memories by dishonoring their final requests. *sniffles* It's what Kevin and (F/N) would have wanted.

Gwen: Nice try.

Gwen kicks Argit through the portal.

Paulina: Come on everyone, field trip!

Sam: Seriously, this is what you do whenever you and (F/N) are in Bellwood?

Paulina: Yep.

Tucker: Is it always this crazy?

Paulina: Not like this.

In the Rooter Headquarters, Kevin and (F/N) make their way to the main control room. He looks around and spots Servantis.

Servantis: Welcome home, Kevin and Kelly Levin.

Kevin: Kind of figured it was too easy breaking in here.

(F/N): Where are your lap dogs?

Servantis: Where they can keep an eye on you two.

Kevin and (F/N) turn around and see Phil, Leander and Swift atop a flight of stairs. Servantis approaches Kevin and (F/N).

Servantis: I was hoping you two were going to bring our recruits with you, all guns-a-blazing.

(F/N): Not this time, “Dad”

Kevin: Sorry to disappoint ya.

Servantis: Mm. I am disappointed. We are going to need all your help in our fight against the coming storm.

Kevin: Stop calling him that!

(F/N): His name is Ben Tennyson.

Kevin morphs his arms into swords and (F/N)  morphs her arms into maces.

Kevin: And he's our friend.

Servantis: Come now, Kevin. Ben Tennyson- "coming storm, destroyer of the universe"- what difference does a name really make? This is what you always wanted. His destruction is what you and I created the children for.

Kevin: Yeah? Well, Ben's not here, and you and I aren't partners anymore.

(F/N): And we're not leaving until we settle accounts.

Swift: INCOMING!

Agent Swift flies towards the windowed roof, as Atomix and Danny  fly and smashes straight through it. He lands and reverts back to Ben.

Ben: *to Kevin* Surprise!

Kevin: Ben, you've made some boneheaded moves in your day.

(F/N): Danny, of all the dumb things you did.

Ben: It's good to see you, too.

Kevin and (F/N) glare at Ben and Danny, annoyed.

Gwen: Hey, babe.

Paulina: Hey sweetie.

Gwen and Paulina enter through the hole Atomix had made on a Mana platform, carrying Rook, Argit, Zed and the Amalgam Kids with her.

Kevin: After all we did to keep Ben, Danny and the Amalgams away from the Rooters,  you just bring them here?

(F/N): Didn't you get our notes?

Gwen: Yes. Very sweet, by the way.

Paulina: We loved it.

Kevin and (F/N): Not the point.

Alan: Ever heard of backup? You should be thankin' us.

Servantis: Thank you.

Everyone gasps as Servantis opens his cranium, electrocuting Kevin and (F/N) and reverting them to his normal state. Three more jolts of electricity spout from (F/N)’s backside, reaching the Amalgam Kids and causing them to yelp in pain. The flow of electricity stops.

Manny: What- what did you do to us?

Helen: It's like a million bells just stopped ringing.

Servantis: I reconnected your psychic link to your team leader. Kevin, (F/N), I need to speak to you both.

Servantis creates an electrical force field around himself, (F/N), and Kevin, lifting the two into the air.

Servantis: Children, keep them busy.

Alan: Our pleasure.

Alan transforms to his Pyronite form and Manny draws his blasters.

Ben: Oh, your bad now?

Danny: For once, can't we just invade some bases without all the turntable shenanigans?

Helen: Gwen, Danny, Paulina, Jazz, Tucker, Sam, Argit, Rook, you're free to go.

Manny: Our battle is with Ben.

Gwen: Since when?

Alan: Since forever, I guess. Hard to say.

Argit: Right, then. Gwen, Rook, gang, I'll be seeing you when I see ya.

Argit scampers off.

Sam: *Sarcastically* Our hero.

Rook: If your fight is with Ben, then your fight is with us.

Danny: All of us.

Rook activates his Proto-Tool.

Manny: Suit yourself.

Helen speeds towards the group, but Gwen creates a Mana bubble, protecting them and causing Helen to slide off. Alan and Manny fire at the bubble, which also proves ineffective. Phil transforms and leaps onto the bubble as Gwen lifts it off the ground, causing the bubble to plummet. As Gwen dissipates the bubble, Rook snipes Phil and sends him into the tower of the base. Swift and Leander tag in as Helen forms a vortex around the group.

Gwen: Rook, Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, and I will handle the Plumbers' Helpers. Ben, Paulina, you've got the Rooters.

Ben dials in and transforms into Feedback and Paulina turns into Buzzshock.

Ben: *As Feedback* I was hoping you'd say that.

Paulina: *As Buzzshock* Yeah let's take them down.

Zed and Rosie growls and pursues Helen, while Alan shoots fireballs at Gwen. She retaliates with Mana disks, but he evades the attacks. Feedback ,meanwhile, pulls off a floor panel, revealing technology. He absorbs energy from it and fires it out at the Rooters. Manny opens fire on Rook, who is able to deflect the shots with his Proto-Tool acting as a staff. He vaults over to Manny, knocking the blasters out of his hands. Manny puts his fists up, as does Rook. They begin to fight, but Manny is able to catch all of Rook's limbs and throw him away. Nearby, Helen knocks down both Zed and Gwen.

Kevin: *slamming force field* Leave them alone!

(F/N): *Slamming the force field* Don't hurt them!

Servantis: For what purpose? The creation of the Amalgams and their current service to us- it is all because of him! *Sees Paulina's Omnitrix* And especially her.

Servantis points to Ben and Paulina, who is absorbing electricity from Phil. Kevin rummages through his wholesters and pulls out a piece of Taydenite, absorbing it's properties and so does (F/N)

Kevin: He's our best friend!

Kevin and (F/N) go in for a punch but is once again electrocuted and reverted by Servantis.

Servantis: A complication. Your memories were altered to get you close to the target. You two were not supposed to get that close.

Kevin and (F/N) look down at Feedback.

Kevin: *groans* We don't get it.

Feedback electrocutes Swift and Leander.

(F/N): He's saved the universe at least a dozen times!

Servantis: And destroyed it! All because you, Agent Levins, never completed your mission to neutralize him years ago.

Kevin: And we're not gonna do it now! Your little brain blast worked on the Plumbers' Helpers, but you can't turn me and (F/N) into one of you.

(F/N): Yeah, If you could, you would have done it already.

Servantis: Turn you both? Kevin, Kelly, you already are one of us.

Kevin and (F/N) ponders for a second and looks down at the battlefield again.

Kevin: But why? He's no "coming storm." He's just a kid.

(F/N): He didn't asked to get involved in this, it wasn't his choice.

Feedback lifts and tosses Phil across the room and Paulina zaps  him and reverting him back into his human form and so does Paulina.

Servantis: Precisely. A device with as extraordinary power as the Omnitrix was never meant to be wielded by an unpredictable and immature child and as if one wasn't enough.

Ben and Paulina revert to normal and they transform into Alien X. Ben raises his hands, and the Amalgam Kids and Rooters are thrust against a wall. Leander lets loose an energy blast, which Alien X refracts.

The blast hits numerous parts of the base, causing explosions everywhere. Gwen, team Phantom, Rook, Rosie, and Zed flee, as Argit pops out from a vent under the floor.

Argit: *oblivious* Sweet freedom!

Argit notices the situation unfolding as the gang dives into the vents alongside him.

Argit: What's Benno and Paulie doing up there? It sounds like a war zone.

Rook: Ben and Paulina have control of Alien X.

Argit appears shocked.

Above,  Ben and Paulina forces the Amalgam Kids and the Rooters to face each other, returning Manny's blasters.

Servantis: He was never supposed to receive the Omnitrix. He was never supposed to wield it's power. You two knew this instinctively! Especially you Kelly.

Ben and Paulina transforms Phil back into his Terroranchula form. Ben causes Swift to fire a neuroshock blast at Phil. She is then hit by Leander's beam. Helen speeds towards the other side, but is intercepted by a fireball from Alan. Manny draws his blasters, but he also shot down by Leander, before he is ultimately taken out by Alan.

Servantis: Who was it that drove you both mad? Who was it that sent you both to the Null Void when you were both children!?

Ben and Paulina lifts his opponents off the ground and motions Alan forward.

Servantis: You two know what you must do, Agent Levins. Save the universe from Ben Tennyson! Be the hero you two were always meant to be!

(F/N): …He's right Kevin.

Ben  winds his arm back as Alan is pulled in, readying for a punch. Kevin and (F/N) then jump between the two.

Kevin and (F/N): STOP!

The Amalgam Kids and the Rooters drop to the floor as Alien X reverts back to Ben and Paulina changes back too.

Ben: Nice to see you two join in after we did all the work.

Servantis' force field lowers to the ground.

Kevin: You're not touching Alan!

(F/N): Or anyone else!

Ben: Hey, me and Paulina didn't want to.

Paulina: Yeah Proctor Servantis has been messing with their heads.

Ben activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Kickin Hawk and Paulina turns into Four Arms.

Ben: *As Kickin Hawk*.Now let me at him.

Ben and Paulina try to get to Servantis, but Kevin pushes him back.

Kevin and (F/N): No.

Ben: *As Kickin Hawk* What's your problem?

Kevin: You are, Ben.

(F/N): You're the coming storm.

Ben: *As Kickin Hawk* You're talking crazy.

Paulina: *As Four Arms* Servantis is messing with your head, too.

Kevin: We're all us.

(F/N): We always have been.

Kevin absorbs the metal floor, once again forming a sword and (F/N) turns into her Infinite form and forms a sword too. He and (F/N) take a slice at Ben and Paulina, but they jump over the swing.

He and Paulina goes in for a kick, but Kevin avoids the attack and slashes back, again missing. Kevin morphs his arm into a hammer, but is knocked back by Ben but he gets punched away by (F/N) and throws Paulina into Ben. Argit, hoisted on Rook's shoulders, takes a peek at the fight for the others.

Gwen: Is it safe?

Argit: Uh, I think we should wait down here. Yeah, Benny Boy's got it all under control and so does Paulina.

The gang hear a crash and Kickin Hawk's screech.

Sam: You were saying?

Kevin: But none of this would have happened if you'd never found the Omnitrix!

(F/N): It's all your fault!

Kevin swings his hammer at Ben, but the attack is dodged and Ben knees him in the stomach and (F/N) throws Ben away as he got up.

Ben: *As Kickin Hawk* You two don't know that!

Kevin:  We would have never been sent to the Null Void.

Kevin lands a hit on Kickin Hawk, sending him back and (F/N) does the same with Paulina.

Kevin: Alan, Helen and Manny would still be regular human kids.

(F/N) lands another blow.

(F/N): And Pierce might still be alive!

Kevin morphs his hands into one larger hammer, slamming Ben into the floor ans (F/N) does the same with Paulina.

Ben: *As Kickin Hawk* Kevin, (F/N) I'm your best friend!

Paulina: *As Four Arms* And I'm your wife!

Kevin: My best friend would've listened to me and stayed home!

(F/N): And so would my wife!

Ben: *as Kickin Hawk* That doesn't even make sense!

Paulina: *As Four Arms* Like at all!

Kevin lifts Kickin Hawk above his head and (F/N) does the same with Paulina.

Kevin and (F/N): You're not my friends!

Kevin and (F/N)  throws Ben and Paulina into the floor, which caves in, revealing the rest of the gang.

Argit: Told you he'd have it all under control.

Gwen: Where's Kevin?

Danny: And (F/N).

They all look up and see Kevin and (F/N) staring them down. He morphs his arm into a sword as Gwen patches the hole with a Mana shield, which he and (F/N) starts cutting against.

Ben: *As Kickin Hawk* Run!

Ben and Paulina picks up Gwen and Rook as the gang retreats, jumping onto nearby terrain in the Null Void. Ben and Paulina revert and Gwen along with Paulina look solemnly back at the Headquarters. Ben and Danny console them, and they continue to retreat.

At the base, the Rooters watch the gang running away on a monitor. The Amalgam Kids are now decked out in Rooter suits, and Servantis turns around.

Servantis: Good to have you back, Agent Levin. Now, complete your mission at last.

Kevin: Hunt them down.

(F/N): Hunt them down and destroy Ben Tennyson.
