(They met back at a familiar hideout by the river as they were all stuck in some sort of energy tube, wrapped in chains and hanging in suspended animation.)
Gilhil: "I don't understand what's going on."
(Gilhil said.)
Gilhil: "That's the guy who tipped me off that the six of you were impersonating Plumbers."
Kevin: "Yeah, and he scammed big ugly too."
(Kevin said, causing the Highbreed to growl at him.)
Allison: "He's got a point, dude."
(Allison said.)
Allison: "He did. Don't snarl at us."
Jen: "We know who he is, Magister."
(Jen said.)
???: "Do you really?"
(the figure asked as he looked at them from the ground.)
Ben: "Of course we do."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "You'd have to be somebody who knows all about the Plumbers and the Highbreed to pull this off. But most importantly, you'd have to be someone with a grudge against us."
Jen: "Yeah."
(Jen said, glaring hatefully.)
Jen: "Why don't you take off that stupid mask... Michael?!"
Kevin: "Wait."
(Kevin said.)
Kevin: "That's Michael Morningstar?!"
Allison: "The creep who stole all his powers from us and those girls at his prep school?"
(Allison asked.)
???: "When you ruined my plans, you nearly destroyed me. But over the weeks, my powers returned, stronger than ever. But so did my hunger. My old method of feeding is no longer sufficient."
Ben: "Oh, so the high school girls are too tough for you, huh?"
(Ben asked.)
???: "On the contrary. I needed more power than they could supply. Michael Morningstar no longer exists."
(He then reached for his helmet, pulling it off and fully revealing himself to the team, who recoiled in disgust at his ugly zombie-like appearance.)
Darkstar: "Now, I am Darkstar. You did this to me and now, you will feed my hunger."
(He then blasted his black energy beams forward, beginning to drain his prisoners dry of their energy as they groaned in pain.)
Darkstar: "I will take your strength and make it my own until you have no more to give!"
Kevin: "Can you reach your Omnitrixes?"
(Kevin asked with a groan.)
Kevin: "Maybe Alien X?"
Ben: "No!"
(Ben shouted.)
Jen: "If he absorbs all of that power, nothing will be able to stop him!"
(Jen groaned.)
Darkstar: "Eventally, I'll have it all anyway."
(Darkstar said.)
Gwen: "Mike!"
(Gwen shouted.)
(He turned to see the two sisters glaring as Becky cracked her knuckles.)
Becky: "Ew."
(Becky said at his appearance.)
Becky: "I swear that you were better looking when you and my sister went out."
Jen: "Hey, I was there too, you know!"
(Jen shouted weakly.)
Darkstar: "Laugh while you can. I have all the power of your teammates, plus the Highbreed and Plumber combined. How can you two possibly hope to defeat me alone?"
Gwen: "Who said we were alone?"
(Gwen asked with a smirk.)
(The windows suddenly burst open and tons of DNAliens came through the windows and doors to surround Darkstar.)
Gwen: "They're pretty mad about you kidnapping their boss."
(They charged forwards and Darkstar hurriedly drained the energy from them one by one, leaving them as empty husks as he tossed them aside, only for him to more to charge as he drained their energy as well as they swarmed him hard.)
(Gwen snuck by the distracted Darkstar as she blasted forwards to the field generator, dissipating the shield as Kevin and Allison absorbed the metal from the chains before breaking them and doing the same to their teammates and Gilhil.)
Gilhil: "Thanks, kid."
(the latter said to Kevin.)
Highbreed: "What about me?"
(the Highbreed asked, still chained.)
Ben: "Hang in there. We'll get you later."
(Ben said as the team ran forwards to Darkstar, who was up to his eyeballs in DNAliens.)
Darkstar: "There's too many to absorb!"
Gwen: "And the bad news keeps on coming."
(Gwen said as she blasted forwards to Darkstar, who flew back as Allison ran forwards and slammed him with her spear as the twins transformed into...)
Echo Echo: "Echo Echo!"
Firefox: "Firefox!"
(Echo Echo let out a sonic scream combined with a fireball from Firefox, as Darkstar fell into them and Gilhil blasted them before they quick-changed into Spidermonkey and Kung Fang with a swift double-kick and he fell into a hammer arm from the Levins as they transformed into Jetray and Discharge as they let loose a blast of electricity and neuroshocks to him, sending him sprawling downwards towards the hole as he groaned in pain as he saw a flash of green.)
Humungousaur: "Nighty night."
(Humungousaur said as he dropped on him, creating a powerful crater and sending debris flying as Gwen protected the others with a shield.)
(Becky and Allison looked around to see nothing else.)
Becky: "The Highbreed is gone."
(Becky said.)
Kevin: "The DNAliens must have sprung him while we were fighting."
(Kevin surmised.)
(Darkstar groaned in pain as the twins transformed back and panted in exhaustion from the amount of energy they exuded.)
Allison: "You okay, guys?"
(Allison asked the twins.)
Jen: "Tired."
(Jen said.)
Gwen: "Sit down and catch your breath."
(Gwen said.)
Ben: "Good idea."
(Ben said as they sat down and started breathing.)
Gilhil: "Is everything okay?"
(Gilhil asked.)
Ben: "Everything's spinning."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "Going dim. Need... smoothie..."
Becky: "They're fine."
(Becky smiled as the twins fell asleep.)
(After the twins woke up, the team faced Gilhil, who had Darkstar in energy cuffs and inside an energy tube to keep him prisoner, smiling on proudly at them.)
Kevin: "You sure that rig will hold him?"
(Kevin asked.)
Gilhil: "It's Level-6 technology, son. He isn't going anywhere but the Null Void."
Jen: "What about us?"
(Jen asked, folding her arms.)
Gilhil: "I've been giving that some thought. You guys made a difference today."
Ben: "And?"
(Ben asked.)
Gilhil: "Maybe I don't need to send good men to this quadrant. Maybe they're already here."
Kevin: "What's that mean?"
(Kevin asked.)
Gilhil: "You six have been drafted. Here's your badges back."
(Gilhil said, handing the badges back to Kevin and Becky, who smiled gratefully.)
Gilhil: "And some for you four as well. As of now, you are the only law enforcement in this quadrant. Do a good job."
(He then pressed a button on his suit, teleporting away with Darkstar in tow as the Omni-Team examined their new badges.)
Becky: "Alright!"
(Becky said, rolling her fist as Allison examined her badge with a smile.)
Allison: "We're Plumbers."
(she said.)
Allison: "Officially."
(Kevin smiled as he walked off.)
Jen: "Hey, where are you going?"
(Jen asked as she pocketed her new badge.)
Kevin: "I've got to tell my Mom."
Allison: "Wait."
(Allison asked.)
Allison: "Mom's here? In Bellwood."
Kevin: "Sure. I told her where we were and she packed her bags and got an apartment here. Wanted to be closer to her kids."
Allison: "I'm going too! I haven't seen her in forever!"
(Allison said as she ran up and they ran alongside each other, leaving behind four smiling Tennysons.)
