(The next morning at Mr. Smoothie's, Ben and Jen got the collection of smoothies as Kevin sighed on his car with Gwen and Allison comforting him as Becky leaned against the car, sighing.)
Ben: "Cheer up, guys."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "Mr. Smoothie makes everything better."
(Kevin took a smoothie and then immediately spat it out in disgust.)
Kevin: "How does turnip and wheatgrass sludge make anything better?"
Ben: "Well, I like it."
(Ben said as the others immediately took a step back from him.)
Ben: "Besides, it's also got ginger in it."
Becky: "Oh, ginger. That solves all our problems."
(Becky said, rolling her eyes.)
Gwen: "Seriously, Ben."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "Magister Gilhil pretty much just put the Omni-Team out of business."
Allison: "What are we gonna do now?"
(Allison asked.)
Jen: "We're gonna keep doing what we've been doing."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "Find the Plumber's kids, fight the bad guys."
Becky: "He said he'd put us in the Null Void."
(Becky said.)
Becky: "I am not going back there unless I absolutely have to."
Ben: "He also said Plumbers never come around here anymore."
(Ben reminded.)
Ben: "We'll worry about when, or should I say if he ever shows up again."
Kevin: "He took our badges."
(Kevin groaned.)
Ben: "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges."
(Ben said.)
Kevin: "You think this is a joke, Tennyson?!"
(Kevin shouted, taking Ben by the jacket in anger.)
Gwen: "Kevin, let him go!"
(Kevin then shouted out and tossed him onto his car, spilling the smoothies everywhere.)
Jen: "Dude!"
(Jen said.)
Kevin: "I wanna be a Plumber, okay?!"
Allison: "So do I."
(Allison said as she looked to him.)
Allison: "When we were little, our mom would tell us stories about our dad. How he was a Plumber and how he did all this cool stuff. I thought she was fibbing back then, but now I know it's real."
Gwen: "We never met your Dad."
(Gwen said.)
Kevin: "Me either."
(Kevin said.)
Allison: "You did. You were just an infant then."
(Allison said.)
Allison: "You wouldn't remember. I was about four years old when he died."
Kevin: "I still want to be like him."
(Kevin said.)
Kevin: "Make him proud."
Becky: "That's why you know so much about the Plumbers and alien technology and everything."
(Becky realized.)
Kevin: "It's why I agreed to help you guys in the first place... mostly."
(Kevin opened the car door and sighed.)
Kevin: "I need my badge back. It's the only thing that matters."
Allison: "I'm going with you."
(Allison said, getting on her bike.)
Allison: "For Dad."
Kevin: "For Dad."
(The two then drove out of the parking lot, leaving the Tennysons shocked at what had just happened.)
(Meanwhile, at a Highbreed base of operations, a group of DNAliens walked along the space, setting up some devices before looking up to hear some footsteps slowly approaching towards them.)
(The figure stepped out of the shadows to reveal himself as wearing a grey and black suit with silver gauntlets and a silvery mask on his face that concealed everything.)
(The leader of the DNAliens signaled his comrades to blast their slime balls at him, only for him to counter them with dark energy blasts before sending a dark energy beam forwards, knocking the DNAliens down.)
(He walked forwards towards the door to the base before ripping it from its hinges.)
(The DNAliens wielded their laser lances forwards which blasted into the figure, but doing little damage.)
(He glared and blasted an energy beam forwards that knocked them down before approaching forward.)
(A section of the ceiling opened over him and a DNAlien dropped down on him, only for him to grab his neck and then he threw him towards the wall, knocking him out.)
(Two more DNAliens walked forwards with laser lances and then the figure blasted forwards with his energy blasts, knocking them out just like the others before he broke the door off of its hinges and crumpled it up like a piece of paper and tossed it at the figure before him, sitting on his throne.)
(The figure turned himself around to reveal a Highbreed commander.)
Highbreed: "Who are you?! What insignificant alien speck dares to enter the command center of a Highbreed lord?"
(The figure said nothing as he approached the Highbreed with a glare.)
Highbreed: "It doesn't matter. Dead men don't need names."
(He simply swatted the figure towards the wall, creating a crater and kicking up a cloud of dust as some debris fell on him.)
(But he simply lifted the debris off like it was nothing and tossed it aside.)
???: "Nice shot."
(the figure finally spoke.)
???: "You're just as strong as I've heard."
(The Highbreed hissed before unfurling his wings from his form as the figure tossed a piece of debris towards him and walked forward as the Highbreed recovered and growled angrily.)
Highbreed: "That's it. Show me all your power."
(The figure let loose a beam of energy that enveloped the Highbreed in a black and white aura, draining him of his energy.)
???: "Give me your strength."
(Once all his energy was gone, the Highbreed groaned out in pain on the ground as the figure kicked him over.)
Highbreed: "What... do you want from me?"
???: "I want to make a deal."
(At the Omni-Team's headquarters, Kevin was tuning up his car in the garage on the underseat as he saw two feet step in front of his car before he pushed his bench out to sneak a peek.)
Kevin: "Who's out there?"
Gwen: "Us."
(Gwen said with Becky by her side, holding a cup.)
Gwen: "I brought you something to cheer you up."
Kevin: "Yeah, thanks anyway-"
Gwen: "It's not a smoothie."
(she said, shaking the ice-filled cup before taking a sip.)
Gwen: "See, regular soda."
Allison: "Yeah, okay."
(Allison said as she cracked a soda from the seat by her as Kevin took a sip.)
Gwen: "We were in the neighborhood and came by to see how you were doing."
Kevin: "Fine, you know."
(Kevin said.)
Kevin: "Listen, the two of us don't want to talk about our dad."
Gwen: "It never crossed our minds to be honest."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "I brought you a present."
(She then took out a small bag and tossed a ball to Kevin, and he looked at the strange ball.)
Kevin: "What are these?"
Gwen: "A wooden ball. Absorb it."
(Kevin then absorbed the material from the ball, coating his hand.)
Gwen: "How about this one?"
(Gwen asked, tossing a metal ball to him, which he absorbed.)
Becky: "Ball bearings made out of... ball bearing stuff."
(Becky explained.)
Becky: "Stainless steel."
Gwen: "We brought you a whole bag of them, all made of different materials."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "That way, when we're on a mission, you and your sister can absorb anything you want."
Allison: "Thanks, but it doesn't really work that way unless you're really experienced."
(Allison said.)
Allison: "He need a lot of whatever we're absorbing to coat ourselves entirely until he gets more practice."
Gwen: "Oh."
Kevin: "And what makes you think that I'm still helping you guys anyway?"
Becky: "Because you changed."
(Becky said.)
Kevin: "Maybe, but I'm still on parole. That Magister can put me back in the Null Void any time he wants."
(The four then sighed before they heard a crash and a rumble, looking to see the Highbreed lord form a hole in the wall with a glance towards them.)
Highbreed: "Human scum!"
(he shouted.)
Highbreed: "I will cleanse the world of your filth!"
Kevin: "Looks like I gave up the wrong day to give up fighting monsters."
(Kevin said, absorbing the material from his car.)
Allison: "You think?"
(Allison asked as the team all transformed into their hero suits and glared at the Highbreed.)
Gwen: "It's a Highbreed."
(Gwen examined.)
Gwen: "The twins said that they're too strong for us to fight."
Kevin: "Well the twins ain't here!"
(Kevin said as he ran forwards, absorbing the concrete from the ground and ran to the Highbreed, punching him in the face and gut, but he stood solid before grabbing his face and tossed him into his car.)
Matter Girl: "Kevin!"
(Matter Girl shouted as she ran forwards, absorbing the stainless steel from the ball bearing and kicked him, punching backwards, morphing her hands into steel maces and punched him in the gut and head with a shout of anger as Huntress ran forwards and kicked him before whacking him with her spear with a shout as he grabbed her spear and tossed her into Matter Girl, sending them both back as Lucky Girl looked up with a gasp.)
(She then sent her glowing hands forwards, wrapping the Highbreed up in her mana grip before he used his strength to burst out of her grip, sending her to the floor alongside her sister and Matter Girl.)
Huntress: "Sis!"
(Huntress said as she shook Lucky Girl away and they looked to see the alien lord looming over them as Lucky Girl created a force shield around them that the Highbreed pounded down on, cracking it severely.)
Highbreed: "That won't save you, human!"
(He finally punched a final blow to the shield, causing it to shatter like glass before punching forwards as the girls all shouted out in fear... only for the sure-to-be-fatal blow never to come.)
(They looked up to see Kevin block the blow from them, causing the concrete armor to crack and fall off him before he fell into Lucky Girl's arms, unconscious.)
Lucky Girl: "No!"
(she said.)
Lucky Girl: "How could you?"
Highbreed: "Like this!"
(He reeled his arm back to attack, only for it to get grabbed by Ben as Humungousaur, who glared hatefully at him.)
Humungousaur: "Hey, ugly! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size!?"
(He spun and tossed the Highbreed upwards through the roof of the headquarters and into the air as Firefox came rushing in and fired a flame blast from the roof onto him, which sent him crashing to the ground, forming a crater.)
Firefox: "I wouldn't if I were you, mate."
(she said as she saw him getting back up.)
(The Highbreed cursed in her won language as a beam of blue light came down and Magister Gilhil was standing there with a glare towards the Omni-Team.)
Gilhil: "Didn't take you kids long to get yourselves into trouble again, did it?"
Humungousaur: "US?!"
(Humungousaur asked.)
Humungousaur: "We were just-"
Highbreed: "Attacking me for no reason!"
(the Highbreed shouted.)
Huntress: "You're the one who attacked us for no reason!"
(Huntress shouted.)
Firefox: "He's one of the aliens we told you about, mate."
(Firefox said.)
Firefox: "They're attacking the Earth!"
Gilhil: "Sure, they are, kids. I want some proof."
Highbreed: "They attacked me for no reason. They said they were Plumbers."
Gilhil: "I've heard enough. You six are under arrest. And you, I don't know what's going on here, but I'm gonna find out. You're coming with me for questioning."
???: "I beg to differ."
(a voice said.)
(All eyes turned to see the figure that the Highbreed had met back in his lair.)
???: "Nobody's going anywhere. Not until I make your power my own."
(He enveloped his hands in his black aura and blasted forwards, sending everyone back as Lucky Girl shielded herself and Huntress as the figure blasted at the Highbreed, who was convulsing on the ground.)
Highbreed: "Why?"
(he asked.)
Highbreed: "You promised that if I helped you- argh!"
???: "I can't be trusted."
(The Highbreed, Humungousaur, Firefox, Matter Girl and Kevin all groaned out as they felt their energies being drained out.)
(Humungousaur growled as he activated his growing powers, towering over everyone as he grew to sixty feet and his stegosaurus features grew more pronounced.)
???: "I've almost forgotten how strong you and your sister are... Ben."
(He then doubled the dosage of his power onto the twins they each groaned outwards in pain before they were forced out of their transformations and sent sprawling to the ground with a thud.)
Ben: "Who are you?"
(Ben asked.)
Ben: "And how did you know who..."
(Jen gasped in realization before turning to Lucky Girl and Huntress.)
Jen: "Gwen! Run!"
(she shouted.)
Gwen: "What?"
Ben: "You've got to get out of here! You're our only hope!"
(Ben shouted.)
Ben: "Run!"
(They then both groaned outwards, falling unconscious as Lucky Girl deactivated the forcefield and sent a mana wave forwards to counter his blast before running for the dirt as Huntress ran beside her.)
(Lucky Girl then created a forcefield around them as they both hopped over the wall.?
???: "You can't run forever, lovely Gwen. Or you, Becky. I'll have my revenge on you, too. But first thing's first."
(He turned to the six unconscious figures before him and stepped forwards.)
