(At the tennis court, Julie was practicing on the tennis ball launcher, managing to swat every single ball was sent flying her way as she saw her boyfriend and his sister walk up to her as Jen pushed Ben forward while looking at her nails with a sigh.)
Ben: "Hey, Julie."
Julie: "You're early, Ben."
(Julie said.)
Julie: "I've still got court practice for another hour."
Jen: "Yeah. We thought we could talk to you while you practice."
(Jen said.)
Julie: "It must be serious if your sister and partner is here with you."
(Julie said to her boyfriend.)
Ben: "It might be."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "For the past week, the last few times I've used my powers, I've just had a blackout."
Julie: "You don't remember anything?"
Ben: "I remember slapping the Omnitrix, but everything after that is completely blank."
Julie: "Hmm..."
(Julie said, smacking another ball.)
Julie: "It's easy enough to figure out what you've been doing. Just transform again and we'll follow you. I have a notebook in my bag."
(She then walked over to the twins and rifled through her handbag before she produced her small notebook.)
Julie: "I'll keep a record of everything you do. You can read it afterwards."
Jen: "Good idea."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "The three of us will get to the bottom of this... hopefully tonight because tomorrow one of us has to babysit our little sister again. And I'm sure it's going to be me because of your... issues."
Julie: "Sounds good to me. But how are you going to keep up?"
(A few hours later at sundown, the twins stood by in the parking lot as Julie sat on her electric scooter as Ben stood by as Jen limbered herself up, preparing for the chase.)
Julie: "Ready, hon."
(Julie said, placing her helmet on.)
Julie: "You?"
Jen: "Go for it."
(Jen said to her brother as Ben activated his Omnitrix and showed it to them.)
Ben: "You remember Jetray, Julie?"
Julie: "From the pier on our first date. I do."
(Ben then adjusted his Omnitrix to Jetray as Jen cracked her joints as Ben winced.)
Ben: "Okay. Here goes nothing."
(He then slammed the core down, transforming into Jetray... before his form instantly shifted into...)
Big Chill: "Big Chill!"
Jen: "Huh?"
(Jen asked, confused as she activated her Omni-Suit as Julie looked instantly as confused.)
Julie: "Big Chill?"
(Big Chill then unfurled his wings and flew away from the court's parking lot as Jen slammed her core down and transformed into...)
AeroForce: "AeroForce!"
(she cawed before she flew upwards and gestured Julie to follow her as she zoomed after her brother.)
AeroForce: "Okay, now, Julie."
(she told herself.)
AeroForce: "Fast!"
(They followed Big Chill as he landed at Burger Shack and folded his wings up to their cloak-like form and Julie took her first note.)
Julie: "Followed Big Chill to Burger Shack."
(she told herself before pulling forward slowly as AeroForce hovered above, flapping her wings as she looked to her friend.)
AeroForce: "Be careful."
(she said.)
AeroForce: "You don't stand a chance against my brother. I do."
(Big Chill walked up to the drive-in radio and pressed teh button repeatedly as Julie wrote down every action.)
Julie: "Appears to be hungry."
(That was when a waitress appeared with the order of a hamburger, fries and a chocolate milkshake.)
waitress: "Here's your ord- ah!"
(she screamed at his alien appearance, the food tossing into the sky as AeroForce gasped and quickly flew up as fast as she could and gathered her food the best she could as she managed to quickly scoop up the fries and shake into the container and glass before they hit the ground as the tray went flying and Big Chill swallowed it in one bite as AeroForce looked in awe at the real food in her talons and noticed her brother not even thinking about it.)
Julie: "Very hungry."
(Julie noted as the waitress peeked back in as she saw the harpy-like alien with the food as she winced.)
AeroForce: "We're... gonna take this one to go."
(she said, a bit embarrassed as the waitress nodded and took the food before she went to get a to-go bag.)
(Big Chill then started feasting on the radio, eating it in one bite as he turned to another teenaged customer listening to his headphones and eating his burger before he saw Big Chill's reflection in the glass.)
Big Chill: "Scram!"
(The teenager gasped before running away as Big Chill started eating the metal pole he was sitting at as AeroForce flew by him, confused as to what was happening.)
(Big Chill pushed her away before he inhaled and unleashed his icy breath on the entire row of radio poles, freezing it before it crumbled to the ground due to how brittle it was before he ate them as well.)
Julie: "Support beams."
(Julie wrote down as AeroForce flew next to her.)
Julie: "Roof... Okay, Jen. We've definitely got a problem."
AeroForce: "You think?"
(AeroForce asked as the waitress nervously walked up and handed her and Julie two to-go bags of burgers and fries and two milkshakes as she produced her debit card, which the waitress slipped through her automated phone and handed it back to her as she pocketed it.)
(They watched Big Chill fly up and just eat the giant metal burger from the Burger Boy statue... followed by the statue itself as AeroForce observed from the air as Julie looked from below.)
AeroForce: "He only seems to be interested in eating metal instead of real food."
(AeroForce examined as Big Chill let out an extremely loud belch.)
Julie: "Ooh, that's not right."
(Julie said in disgust as she took a bite of chili fries.)
Big Chill: "More..."
(Big Chill said as he flew off towards the city as AeroForce and Julie sped after him as AeroForce took a bite of her cheeseburger.)
Julie: "Big Chill! Ben! Wait up!"
(Julie called.)
AeroForce: "It's your sister and your girlfriend, remember?"
(AeroForce said.)
AeroForce: "We just want to talk to you!"
(Big Chill turned a corner and as the girls followed... only to discover it was a dead end as Big Chill smirked to them.)
Big Chill: "See ya. Wouldn't want to be ya."
(Big Chill said, turning intangible and phasing through the brick wall, leaving the two behind as AeroForce transformed back to Jen and she landed on the ground, food in hand as she glared at the wall.)
Julie: "Great. We lost him."
(Julie said as Jen looked down with a sigh... and looked at necklace around Julie's neck.)
Jen: "Julie?"
(Jen asked.)
Jen: "When did you get that necklace?"
Julie: "It was a present from Ben for our month anniversary."
(Julie said as she took her necklace off as Jen smiled at that as she focused.)
Jen: "I can track his mana with this."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "We can find him."
Julie: "Awesome."
(Julie said as Jen focused, her eyes glowing pink as the necklace glowed in a pink aura above her hand before it settled as Jen smiled.)
Jen: "I've got him."
(A few hours later, Ben groaned as he came to and stood up as he rubbed his head... only to find he was in front of a large crater and saw his sister standing over him, noticing the crater.)
Jen: "What is this?"
(Jen asked.)
Ben: "Uh..."
(Ben said, unable to explain.)
Jen: "I think we're about to find out."
