Hello there. It's a new day and with it, I brought change. I will now solely take over the writing of future dilemma and another surprise! It's going in a whole new direction. Hopefully it won't be so confusing anymore. This fan-fiction also includes Gwevin and Benlie. For all your information, this takes place between the end of season three of 'Alien Force' and the TV movie 'Alien Swarm'. Syranna19 proudly presents the new, improved "Future Dilemma"!

'It's like a thousand hurricanes tearing us apart. It's the rip in the middle of my heart…' The voice echoing from inside the recording studio carried with it the emotion that came with attaching yourself to a song. Obvious that the voice singing it would have this kind of attachment, because she had written it. As 'The Cover Artists'lead singer continued to... sing, there were several beeps and vibrating from the pocket of her bad-ass black jacket. As the song ended, the loud beeping could then be heard from everyone who was listening. 'Great' Jenny Levin thought, as she pulled out her new generation plumber's badge and hurried out to get to the roof. The rest of the band watched her go while the recording muggles continued to conspire on how much money they would make out of these young people. The lead guitarist, Megs, looked concerned at the way where one of her closest friends had disappeared to, and wondered what life threatening situation she would find herself in next.
"Devlyn, what's the situation? And could you have any more bad timing?" Sometimes her older brother could be a real idiot, Jenny acknowledged to herself. There was a crackle on the radio, while Jenny continued to enjoy the view from the roof of the skyscraper in modern day Bayville. Her great-grandfather would have complained about how the hustle and bustle wasn't there when her parents were teenagers, but now was not the time for such thoughts. "Where the hell have you been? Half of us are going out of our minds with what's going on, Jamie's worried sick about you! You can be glad mom and dad are off-planet helping Uncle Ben with some mission or something or you'd be in so much trouble-" Jenny cut him off mid-rant, mentally filing away the fact Jamie was worried about her and made a note to dream about that later. "WHAT is going on, Devlyn? And for your information, I was at the…" She stopped talking, wondering what lie she would have to feed her brother.
She had not confided in anyone except the people in her band, that she was the lead singer of the new, awesome and totally liked, masked-intrigue band 'The Cover Artists'. They all wanted to keep it on the down-low, neither of them wanting fame to interfere with normal life, especially not for Jenny since her mother was the president and her father was one of the greatest plumbers ever. Not to mention her uncle and daily activities… So they created artistic masks with mouth openings so they could sing, gave each other aliases of famous singers from the past, and started recording covers from old songs and writing original songs. By day Jenny Levin, by night Swift Sweetnam. When they had gotten a recording contract, it had become increasingly difficult to keep up the façade, but they had to push through. For the sake of normality…
"Jenny? Are you still there? Where have you been?" Devlyn's voice broke her out of her reverie. "I was at the library, trying to find more Latin books. Are you going to let me in on the big secret now?" She could feel the evil glare through the little machine and wanted to drop it and hope it would break into a thousand pieces, but knew that if she was next to her big brother, it would have been a whole lot worse. "Take this a little more seriously, Jen. Fagan's invaded the city AGAIN and it looks like his giant robots have even more little upgrades." She wanted to smack her brother upside the head for calling her Jen, when he informed her of what was going on. "Why do I have to go and fight the giant robots? You know what they almost did to me last time!" She usually was very brave, but when it came to giant 40 feet tall giant robots with glowing red eyes that almost killed you, you just can't argue with that logic. But when it came to family and loyalty, you can't argue with that logic either. So reluctantly she floated up in the air using her anodite powers, while still talking into her plumber's badge. "Where do you want me stationed, Dev?" Through the plumbers badge's comm. link she could hear lots of fighting and explosions. Her brother's voice was strained and deep as it garbled through the communication line and she knew he must be in his osmosian form. Devlyn had the unfortunate power of looking like her father's monster form when he was a kid. "Corner of 23rd and Bay, Jamie and Gwendolyn will meet you there." As she changed her direction South, South-West and switched her badge off, she let a long groan escape. 'Great! Now I have to get stuck with daddy's girl/snobby brat Gwendolyn, while fighting evil monster robots. What did I do to deserve this? Be born?'
As she landed at the corner of her desired destination, she could see the metallic robot crushing car after car as it made its way towards her cousin and best friend(who she may or may not have a crush on). She rushed to join them and was met with relieved looks and sarcastic jabs. "Finally, our saviour is here to rescue us! What took you so long?" Her cousin tossed her long raven coloured hair and looked at her with emerald green eyes full of expectancy. "Give her a break, Gwynn. She was probably just busy. We have to focus on taking down metal head over there." Jamie was tall for his age, 7.22 ft to be exact with bright yellow hair and orange and red highlights and bright blue eyes. It was because he was methanosian, or as her Uncle Ben called the transformation Swampfire. He looked human, but when he got shot at, it didn't hurt him. He could also shoot fire from his hands and he still controlled plants. Never got tired of all the roses he gave her. So sweet… "Jenny, look out!"
She dodged the laser beam that was shot at her just in time. "Thanks, Jamie. Now let's beat his metal butt!" With that she took to the air shooting off some manna disks at its head distracting it while Jamie made vines entangle the robot's huge legs to try and trip it, or at least get it to stop moving. Gwendolyn in the mean time, changed into ultimate Echo-Echo, using the prototype omnitrixes her father had given her and her older brother Kenny when they had turned ten, respectively. Unfortunately, it gave her Big Chill instead, but she could work with that. Soon she started phasing through the robot, freezing its insides. "That's good, Gwynn. Keep doing that!" Jenny shouted towards her cousin, though she doubted she would hear it. Just as Gwynn was phasing out of the robot again, it turned its eyes towards the vines entangling its feet and blasted them off, shooting Jamie too in the process.
"Jamie!" That's where Jenny lost all thought and rational thinking and flew to his side. "Are you alright? You're not hurt? Please tell me you're okay!" As Jamie picked himself up, he looked into her ice blue eyes. "Jenny, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." She looked at him concerned for a few more seconds before reluctantly nodding and flying up again. "Guys, it looks as if there's something inside the robot, like an engine or something!" Gwendolyn called down to them in her raspy voice. "Are you sure?" Jenny didn't want to make a mistake here. People's lives were at stake. "Yeah, I am. If you could blow it open, then maybe we can get a better look at it and shut it down faster? Or are you going to doubt me again?" Sometimes Gwendolyn could be a real pain. "No, your highness. I'll take your glorious word for it! Eterla morbulous!" Suddenly the frontal chest plate of the robot started breaking down into tiny wisps of rubble and smoke, and all three could see the large engine glowing a faint yellow at the front of the opening. "It definitely looks important. Jamie, Gwynn, cover me! I'm going to charge it and take this thing down, once and for all!" She flew towards the chest cavity, dodging lasers beams as she went, trying to get close enough to be able to touch it.
"Here it goes guys!" As she touched it, she started focusing on generating as much manna as possible and pouring it into the machine. Like her mother, machines didn't agree with her magic very well. Hopefully it wouldn't make too much of a mess. As soon as she thought it had enough energy pulsing inside it, she shot like a torpedo towards Jamie and Gwynn, covering them just in time before the blast went off. There was a humming sound and a bright flash as the engine core exploded with a boooom! Jenny watched in horror as various large pieces of shrapnel came hurtling towards her shield, just before it broke and a large piece pierced her ribs. Then a wave of white hit them and they collapsed.
