Mina sped off after the Knights, but found no sign of them. "What the hell?" She mumbled to herself as she kept looking.
She then saw a Knight come into view, she got closer to see what he was doing, but he noticed her right away and started shooting her with a laser lance.
Mina dodged each blast with ease, sending neuroshock blasts towards the Knight, but he had a personal force field. "Damn." She said, putting more attention into dodging. Mina failed to notice another 2 Knights come up behind her from a trap door. The laser lance blasts corralling her towards the other Knights, til she was in range where they shot a bazooka-like weapon that expelled an energy net.
The net caught her and it wrapped around her, causing her to plummet. She tried neuroshocks, but they had no effect. She hit the ground hard, getting knocked out and transforming back into her human form.
The Knights smirked behind their helmets as they grabbed their ensnared prey and made their way to the trap door with their prize.
"Grandpa, I don't see her." Gwen said as they rode up on the scene of the fight. "And the Knights aren't here either."
"I can see that Gwen…" Max said in annoyance. "I told her this was a trap."
"Why would they take her? Sure they are Xenophobic pricks, but they've left us alone for years, why now?" Gwen asked.
"I… Don't know…" Max sighed, he had an idea, but he didn't want to tell Gwen or Mina yet, at least until their Plumber facility was retrofitted to scan for Highbreed and Xenocyte DNA. "Gwen, does your book have a tracking spell?"
Gwen's face lit up. "Yes, it does." She said, running back into the Rustbucket. She came out a couple minutes later with her book and one of Mina's t-shirts. "I can't believe I forgot about it, I was practicing it a couple months ago." She started to concentrate, and float in the air, a pink aura around Mina's shirt, which was now floating in front of her. "It might take a few minutes for it to lock on.." Gwen said.
Max nodded and waited for Gwen's results.
Mina groaned as she woke up. "Ow… My head…" She moved her arms and felt that they were restrained. She quickly opened her eyes and adrenaline instantly took away her grogginess. She was most definitely restrained, in Plumber energy cuffs no less.
She looked around and found herself in what had to be the main hall of a castle, though she was trapped in a red energy field, with an alien control panel just outside the field. She rammed her shoulder into the field and was sent back, getting shocked.
"Ah-ah-ah." A shorter old man in Forever Knights armour and robes said as he walked into her view. "That field was made specially to stop all of your known aliens from getting through."
She stared at the man, noticing the crown on his head. "So you're the new Forever King?" She asked rhetorically. "I expected you to be taller."
"Ah, you still have your infamous wit." He chuckled. "I expected you to be male." That angered her a bit, but she bit her tongue. "First you are a traitor to your planet by helping aliens invade, now you let them take your manhood… You're pathetic."
"Hey! I never let them invade! The ones who were invading, I stopped." She replied in anger. "Not all aliens are as malicious or xenophobic or STUPID as you!"
A flash of anger came across the king's face, but he hid it fast. "Your lies fall on deaf ears traitor." He said. "Now, to get to why you're here." He started pushing buttons on the control panel.
Quite a few small electrodes came out of the walls and started shocking Mina. She screamed as her Omnitrix transformed her into Heatblast. The electricity stopped, and she collapsed. Then a machine on a long arm came down from the ceiling and scanned her form. The shocking started up again, turning her into Wildmutt, machine scanning this form before the electrodes shocked her again, turning her into Brainstorm. This continued until the Omnitrix timed out, the king smirking all the while, having cycled through Diamondhead, Nanomech, Whiplash, Blitzwolfer, Ditto, Spidermonkey, Buzzshock, Echo Echo, Mygax (female versionof Gax), Mudpuppie and Big Chill.
Mina was barely conscious. "Wh-what did you do…" She asked, out of breath and still in pain.
He smirked. "I simply used this Techadon DNA scrambler to make the Omnitrix change your form." He said proudly. "Then scanned the DNA of each species you changed into." He walked to right in front of where she was lying. "You see, we've recently got our hands on a way to wipe out all alien life on Earth, but we need samples of their DNA."
"You… Bastard!" She screamed as loud as she could through the residual pain. "I-I'll never let you do this…"
"With how it looks to me, you have no choice in the matter, my dear." He said, putting venom into those last two words. "Now, let's continue." He said, moving to the control panel and starting the process over.
