Alright, sorry for the wait. Anyway, I know it's quite a bit later in the list than in canon, but here's my take on the episode "A Jolt from the Past". I own nothing except OCs. Enjoy!
Mega Charge
Down in Bellwood's water front, inside a generic looking warehouse, was a single man performing a series of reps with a large dumbbell with nine weights on each end. A second man entered, mush scrawnier than the first with a black shirt, black hair, and a red stripe running through it.
"Hey boss?" The scrawny man asked trying to get his attention.
"This better be important Corvo. You know I don't like being bothered during my workout sessions."
"It is boss. The shipment arrived. The one from Sparksville." The bench pressing stopped and placed the dumbbell back onto the rack on the bench
"No kidding? Well this is defiantly worth stopping the reps for." The first man said. He pulled himself up from the bench. The man was dressed in a black shirt with a skull emblazoned on it, orange pants, spiked black armored boots, face paint similar to that of a skull, and a mohawk made up of orange spikes. "But this is great. With our fresh power source, we'll have so much fire power, who possibly will be able to stand up to us, let alone stop us?" The man and Corvo began to laugh an evil laugh.
Bellwood Streets…
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Ben shouted from the passenger seat of the Proto-TRUK.
"Ben, was that really necessary?" Rook asked from the driver's seat.
"I have to agree with Ben. Things aren't exactly exciting lately. And on community stake-out on top of that…" Kevin said from one of the back seats. He was right of course. Aside from the Khyber incident a few weeks ago, there had been next to nothing abnormal anywhere in town.
"It would seem to be abnormally calm. Especially with Argoth being close by." Rook commented. "Perhaps the other villains are remaining on the ground."
"I'm guessing you mean 'laying low'." Kevin said, "But really I don't see that being the case. Either way, I'm kind of glad to have the down time."
"Considering how early Ben and I started the whole hero thing. I kind of have to agree." Gwen added in.
"I was hoping for more action though. There are so many so many stories regarding you and Ben I would love the chance to continue to study their truth."
"Oh? So how are the stories standing up?" Ben asked.
"So far, I would call most true, but there is one I am sure must be made up. Alien X. Surely he cannot exist."
"What? Alien X is completely real." Ben said.
"Yeah, and real worthless." Kevin added.
"But I do not understand, if Alien X is so powerful, why do you not use him more often?"
"If I transform into Alien X, I'm literally a stationary statue unless I can get one of the other two personalities to agree with me. Rendering me just helpless."
"So, you are claiming he is real, but unusable."
"Trust me Rook, he is real, and really powerful, but also really useless." Gwen responded.
"But don't worry Rook, I'm more than willing to show you some of my other great aliens to show you more of the legends."
"Yes, that would be quite brilliant to see." The engine of the Proto-TRUK started and it left its sitting spot to be begin the night's patrol.
Screams pierced the clam night of Bellwood as a trio of crab-like aliens began to tear apart and eat a car. The owner witnessed all of this, backing away in fear before turning tail and running down the street, a fresh scream coming from his throat. The crab aliens where then caught off guard as a net fires through the air entangling one of the metal munching extra-terrestrial crustaceans.
Four-Arms walked into the alley cracking all four of his knuckles with Gwen having surrounded her hands in mana, Rook having the Proto-Tool ready, and Kevin absorbing the bricks of a nearby buildings. Two of the remaining three aliens coughed up a license plate and tried to awkwardly tried to stick it back on the car. Both pairs of Four Arms' eyes rolled as battle stances where dropped and an egg-shaped pod was thrown to collect all three of the off-world vandals.
Later, down the patrol, a fish-like alien covered in tentacles was slithering down the street, a purse in one of its tentacles. The Proto-Truck swung around the corner trying to catch him while Ben as Stinkfly made a much more direct route of flight. However, the alien seemed to just be returning a purse to an old woman who didn't even seem to know it was missing from how calmly she was sitting on the bench. Of course, that calmness was shattered when she turned and saw the alien causing her to scream and run away. Stinkfly's eye stalk lowered in disappointment as she shifted back into Ben who got back into the Proto-Truck as it arrived.
Later in the night, a larger alien with a squid-like head was seen backing a smaller child-sized alien into a corner of an alley. The alley became bathed in the light of the Proto-TRUK's headlights. A green flash and Ben was a pale-blue humanoid moth-like alien with a lanky build, a pair of wings that almost resembled a torn and frayed cloak, and patches of fur along his shoulders with the rest of his team standing in the alley almost looking down intimidatingly on the larger alien. The alien turned around annoyed allowing them to see a bottle as it picked up the smaller alien and began to feed it. Gwen, Rook, and Kevin began to awkwardly slink back into the Proto-TRUK while Big Chill sheepishly phased into the ground to disappear.
After a short break for food, Ben was sitting in the front seat of the Proto-TRUK finishing off a carton of chili fries. "After a faithful night of patrols, Ben 10 once again saved the world…from the dreaded car eating crabs."
"Well at least it's something." Kevin said. "Even if it's just like 10 days for property destruction."
"I'm just a bit annoyed. I mean, I could have gotten some more stuff done around the house. Instead of this patrol."
"Patrols are necessary regardless of how slow and eventless they may be Gwen." Rook responded. "Besides, you never know when something may happen and we will be needed."
"Yeah look, there's an ordinary guy on a cellphone, let's bust him for jaywalking." Ben said sarcastically. The man in question was wearing a black and orange hoodie with a skull on the front. His hood was down showing the matching black and orange hair. Rook's eyes narrowed taking in the device, a frown was forming as well.
"That does not appear to be a normal cellphone." He said, "And that power source appears to be not of this planet. Is that normal?"
"No…no it's not." Ben said, "Come on, and stay quiet." Gwen and Kevin got out of the Proto-TRUK as well.
"I'm sure I've seen this guy before…but I can't remember where." Kevin said.
"Stay quiet." Gwen reminded her boyfriend.
"What? Tell her I'm onto something big. And once the boss man's plan goes down, Corvo's back on top!" The man said into his phone. He looked back at the quad of people trailing him. "I'm gonna have to call you back." He said quickly turning around, his cellphone morphed into some kind of blaster as he fired a beam of yellow energy straight for our heroes. There was an explosion and during it he turned and ran. The smoke cleared to reveal Gwen having a mana shield up.
"By the authority of the Plumbers I order you to cease this chase!" Rook ordered.
"Make me cat-freak!" Corvo said continuing to run.
"Yeah Rook, that never works." Ben said chasing the goon into an alley, only for him to rocket out in an orange dune buggy nearly running over the heroes.
"Guys, get back and get to the Porto-TRUK, try to cut him off!" Ben ordered.
"I got my car on Auto Pilot coming straight for us. Another four wheels on the ground should help a lot." Rook and Ben nodded as Rook ran back for the Proto-TRUK and Ben began to charge for the buildings.
"Good luck outrunning Big Chill after I phase through these buildings." Ben said slamming down on the Omnitrix, only to run into the wall of the building as Heatblast.
"Heatblast? Are you kidding me?" Heatblast bemoaned. "Fine, time to improvise." Heatblast began to glow brighter before shooting a turret of fire beneath him before collecting it into a fireball, chasing after the car. Seeing the flying fire man chasing him, he pulled out his blaster again and fired into the air, making Heatblast have to weave back and forth. The driver than took a hard swerve to avoid the Proto-TRUK attempting to head him off. Rook pounded on the steering wheel in frustration before hitting a switch shifting the truck into jet mode.
Shortly after Kevin's green muscle car gained fast on the road. A winch appeared in the front and fired out, a powerful magnet attached to the back of the car and Kevin slammed on the breaks before switching into reverse.
"That's not gonna hold me punk." Corvo said slamming down on the accelerator breaking the wire of the winch.
"Man, this guy's car has some serious pep to it!" Kevin said as his car spun out a bit before he got it back into control, "Just wish I could remember who he was or where I saw him before."
"Is that really the best thing to think about right now?" Gwen asked annoyed.
"I've had about enough of this." Heatblast said increasing the speed of the fireball he rode before jumping off it. He hit his Omnitrix symbol while flying through the air changing into a bulky metal alien with various metal straps across him making him look like something akin to a walking furnace with a grill plate face with a red glow behind it.
"NRG!" He yelled smashing into the ground leaving a crater where he landed. "Alrrright, stop now and ve von't have to do zis harrrd vay." Corvo tried to swerve out of the way, but NRG did his best to put himself in his path once again. And while the bulky metal containment suit of NRG was able to hold the runaway car for a bit, he was ultimately unable to keep him from force himself free of his grasp and drive away. "Fine, harrrd vay it zen." The glow behind NRG's grill plate grew brighter until he released a beam of radiation heat directly at the road melting it. The melted road continued to rush forward until it caught up to and passed the fleeing car, melted asphalt swallowing the cars of the wheels before cooling hard again.
"Ben, do you not thing that was a little unneeded?" Rook asked. NRG shifted back to Ben.
"Well we weren't really catching him other ways." Ben responded.
"Speaking of which," Gwen said shooting out a stretch of pink mana grabbing Corvo as he jumped out of the car and tried to run on foot, "Where do you think you're going?" She reeled him back. Kevin grabbed the cellphone/blaster from the guy.
"Cellphone blaster hybrid. Level 4 tech. Really only advanced cultures get this level stuff. But I doubt you got it yourself so you gotta be someone's henchman." Kevin said.
"That's pretty much obvious from the stupid outfit." Gwen added.
"You are correct Kevin." Rook said scanning the blaster. "Level 4 technology. You picked up on it very quick."
"What can I say, me and Argit moved a lot of tech."
"Guys can we focus?" Ben asked, "Alright buddy, where's your boss so I can kick his butt?"
"Please, you have no chance against my boss." Corvo said, "Ask Levin here, he would know."
"Yeah, I don't remember who you are. Or your boss." A noise came from the half-buried car.
"What was that?" Ben asked.
"I don't know, your freak tactic probably damaged my engine." Corvo said.
"I'll check it out. Rook care to help me?" Kevin asked. Rook nodded in agreement.
"No, you stay away from that!" Corvo said. Rook opened the front of the buggy to see a large glowing yellow tube with smaller tubes hooked up to it. Cracks began to form in the tube before it seemed to explode into an electrical discharge. While Rook and Kevin weren't hurt, a small battery-like alien flew out of the tube.
"A Nosedeenian." Rook said as it zipped around the air, "He and his boss must be using them as living batteries to power their alien machines."
"No duh." Kevin said trying to swat the thing away from his face despite its size. "So, how do we contain this stupid thing?"
"I do not think that's fully important Kevin. Nosedeenians are mostly just playful." Rook said as it gave him a shock making him jump, "But they have been known to be mischievous and destructive."
"That's putting it mildly," Ben said, "Fought these guys when me and Gwen where younger. Bit of advice, don't get shocked."
"Noted." Rook said receiving another shock before the Nosedeenian noticed Corvo's backpack and flew into it. The backpack began to spark up before two Nosedeenians broke out of it. The sudden jerk of them escaping broke Gwen's hold and made her drop Corvo who quickly took off running.
"Did it just multiply?" Gwen asked preparing a mana attack, remembering what they did back in Sparksville.
"No, I think that was a second one." Rook responded as the twin Nosedeenians swirled around the group giving them mild shocks and zaps.
"What is wrong with these things?" Ben asked.
"I do not know but they are trying to get away!" Rook pointed out. The pair of Nosedeenians zapped themselves into the powerlines and began to travel along the wires.
"Rook, give me some eyes in the sky. Kevin, Gwen, see if we have anything in the Proto-TRUK or Kevin's car we can use to hold those things." Ben said running off after them as Rook fired a grappling hook up onto the roofs of nearby buildings. Ben could see the yellow surges of electricity getting further away from him. "Rook, where they going buddy?"
"It would appear they are heading for the water front."
"Gotcha. Fine, you guys think you're so great, let's see you outrun one of your own!" Ben dialed up Buzzshock on the Omnitrix and slammed down.
Rather than turning into the black and white energy alien, he instead swelled out into rotund, brass skinned alien covered in black lines with a transparent glass plate on his chest that bore the Omnitrix symbol on it with green gears moving within and a wind-up key on top of his head.
"Clockverk? But he is zo slow!" The freshly changed alien said but continuing to run before he saw the electrical trail escape far in front of him. "Lost zem already. Zis is just terrific…huh?" He wondered aloud seeing them return and appear above the wires, one making obnoxious noises while the other one blew a raspberry at the time manipulator.
"Vat are zey doing?" Clockwerk asked in confusion before something dawned on him as the two fleeing Nosedeenians popped back into the wires, "Vait…of course! Clockverk doesn't have to be faster, zey just have to be slover!" The wind-up key on Clockwork began to spin until green energy spread off him. And while the Nosedeenians where still fast, it was more like chasing down a skilled track jogger, rather than catching electricity. "Rook, I zink I can keep up vith zem like zis. Zee if Gven and Kevin have anything und track my location."
"Affirmative." Rook said doubling back watching Clockwork dash off in a blur.
Bellwood Harbor…
Clockwork was panting heavily when he reached the waterfront, he had to restart the time slow several times. He was practically suffocating due to exhaustion from the run by the time the Proto-TRUK arrived.
"Amazed you were able to keep up with them Ben. A Chronosapien time manipulation can only reach so far and they could have easily outpaced it." Rook said. A red flash and Clockwork was back to a panting Ben.
"Yeah…I know…" Ben panted. "Just…give me a minute…"
"Dude are you gonna be okay?" Kevin asked. "Look like you're gonna hurl. And for distance at that."
"Yeah, yeah I think I'm fine." Ben said straightening himself, "But if I start to turn green, either get out of in front of me or point me at a bad guy. You guys get something to catch the Megawhatts in?"
"Nothing long term. But I got a rubber lined tool box we might be able to use." Kevin said, "Should hold them long enough for some other plumbers to show up with something that can hold them longer."
"Good enough. Come on let's go." Ben said. The group snuck into the warehouse and where immediately struck in awe. Strewn across the warehouse was a number of large machinery plus a number of large crates containing some unknown machinery.
"Whoa, guys look at all this stuff." Kevin said. "This is some serious stuff here. Major firepower."
"That I believe is an understatement." Rook said running the Proto-Tool across the room in scanner mode. "These crates contain far more alien technology. Level 6. Weapons, power armors, and far more. If you name it, I believe that it will be somewhere in this warehouse."
"But this stuff can't be powered on Earth. Even nuclear power would be like a AA battery compared to what these things normally run off of." Kevin pointed out.
"Yeah…I think I found out." Gwen said reaching near the center of warehouse. There was some large engine-like machine with several glass tubes loaded into it. Inside nearly every tube was a Nosedeenian who occasionally flared up in electricity with the voltage being drained into the large machine, yelling in pain the whole time. Meanwhile the two freed Nosedeenian began to try to break out their fellow aliens by banging on the glass tubes.
"Whoever is doing this is using these things to power the alien technology." Kevin said.
"Then I'm busting them out." Ben said readying the Omnitrix before a beam of energy shot down and grabbed the two free Nosedeenians and pulled them into a pair of mechanical arms filling tanks on the shoulders making them glow yellow. The man operating the arms was of a semi-muscular build with tan skin, white hair in a mohawk, and a black shirt with what almost looked like orange skulls on it.
"Thanks. Boss would have been pretty mad if he found out a pair of the batteries got out." The man who absorbed the batteries said. "Of course, boss also doesn't much like spies snooping around."
"Let them go." Ben threatened his eyes narrowing. "Trust me, you don't want me to make you." Suddenly a similar beam to what caught the Nosedeenians grabbed the group and lifted them up off the ground. A second man appeared. With similar build to the first man but with pale skin and orange hair in his mohawk and grey stars instead of orange skulls.
Behind him, the large warehouse doors where opened with an ease and speed that made them seem more like sheets of plywood rather than slabs of steel. The man who opened the doors with such force was large and stormed in, followed by Corvo. "Alright, this had better be worth it. I already had my work out interrupted once today. And I don't like having my" The large man stopped when he saw the floaters, "Well well. If it isn't Kevin Levin. Long time."
"Alright now I'm sure I'm supposed to recognize this guy and his goons." Kevin said.
"Never were that sharp Levin." The man said walking by them tossing his towel around his neck aside.
"Sharp enough to know when I'm being insulted…. wait…" Kevin said.
"Who are you anyway?" Ben asked.
"Name's Fisttrick." He said beginning to work over a punching bag. "Took over a bunch of Levin's old channels after he went straight. Now my turn. What are you bros and babe doing in my place of business?"
"With a place this remote, and no sign, something tells me you don't like people knowing this is your place of business." Ben said seeing Rook pull out a small device.
"Look bro, Kevin can confirm. These things don't exactly fall off the truck." Fisttrick said barely turning his attention off the punches he's throwing. "But that's where me and Kev's styles different. See, he was fine with getting the tech himself, and selling it off to some other aliens. Me, I prefer a different style. Some alien makes it, I use other aliens to charge it, I mass produce it, and I sell it to anyone with the cash." Fisttrick threw a powerful punch launching the punching bag swinging strong enough to break the chain and crash against the far wall. "It's just good business."
"Believe it or not, I remember this freak now." Kevin said. "Sells anything to anyone. Real scumbag."
"Hurl insults all you want bro." Fisttrick said, "Point is, you lose, I win." The muscle meathead noticed the device Rook had as a red light on it changed to green, "What is that?"
"An electron entanglement disruptor." Rook said cheerfully pressing down on a button releasing a green energy pulse breaking up the yellow beam they were held in. As soon as they were free, all the heroes readied for battle. Rook pulled out the Proto-Tool, Gwen surrounded her hands in her mana, Kevin armored up off of the concrete of the ground, and Ben slammed down on the Omnitrix turning into a segmented alien.
"BLOXX!" The alien yelled forming both fists into a single large hammer, spinning and slamming it into Fisttrick. Sadly, the skull-faced villain seemed to just pull himself up from the hit.
"Thug! Hoodlum! Take them out!" Fisttrick ordered.
"Wait, those are your guy's names?" Gwen asked seeing the two punks charge.
"Man Kevin, how did you forget this guy?" Bloxx asked.
"Hey, me and Argit met a lot of weird guys." Kevin said, "Although, I really should have recognized the fashion sense." The orange haired goon, apparently named Thug, charged at Rook, who quickly did a leg sweep tripping the guy up and a roundhouse kick to knock him into a wall. The other gang member, probably named Hoodlum, slammed his fists together covering them in electricity. The kicked aside Thug tried to do the same, but a ground smash from Bloxx sent a cracking upsurge of the ground throwing him off balance allowing Kevin to rush in and slam a stone covered fist right against his face knocking him out cold.
Hoodlum charged at Rook, swinging his energized fists. Rook managed to stay one step ahead of the blows, changing the proto-tool into a sword formation and after a particular heavy punch slashed at it causing the arm to lose power and fall to the ground. He charged an energy beam from his working arm, but Bloxx's arm stretched out and grabbed the energy gathering knuckle before morphing to fully enclose around it. He flung Hoodlum at Fisttrick's feet, leaving the cannon barrel covered before it exploded knocking out Hoodlum and causing Fisttrick and Corvo to have to take a step back because of the smoke.
"I hope you know you made a big mistake." Fisttrick said as Bloxx changed back into Ben.
"Yeah, I make them all the time." Ben said. "But let's see just how bad this one was." Rather than remarking, Fisttrick turned and run. Corvo seeing his boss flee did the same running after him. Gwen placed her hand forward.
"Somnus!" She said an energy surrounded Corvo causing him to fall on his face with a loud snore. Meanwhile an area of the ground began to open and Fisttrick jumped down into it.
"Hurry up guys he's getting away!" Ben said before a loud rumbling filled the air as the hole grew bigger.
"I do not believe that escape is his intention." Rook stated as a large figure began to rise up.
"You know bros and babe, you four aren't exactly the smartest people I've come across." Fisttrick said sitting in some kind of control hub in the figure's chest. "I mean, didn't you wonder why I needed so many of these Nosedeenians? All to charge this big boy. Something I threw together from the best of the best of what I got my hands on.
The power armor was a large bulky frame with an orange color scheme, helmet like head with a series of spikes mirroring its pilot's own mohawk. The arms ended in claw-like hands with almost shield-like arms. The legs where thick ending with tank-like treads around heavy duty armor making the feet look more like the ending of legs rather than unique body parts.
"Ben, we need serious muscle." Gwen said as Fisttrick's power suit prepared a powerful punch that Gwen was barely able to get her shield up in time and even then, it barely withstood the impact.
"Indeed." Rook said, "Me and Gwen will attempt to give you the time you need." Rook took aim with the Proto-Tool while Gwen released a barrage of mana attacks.
"Don't worry guys, Humungousaur coming up." Ben said slamming down on the Omnitrix. Rather than the orange dinosaur, he instead began to grow into an 11-foot stone humanoid with a round torso-head hybrid, thick arms covered in plates and a series of spikes like mountains or mesas, four fingered hands, three toed feet, and some kind of semi-glowing red of swirling substances area near his gut with a white spot in the center of it. The Omnitrix symbol rested in between his eyes. "What the? Who and what is this?"
"A Galilean Ben." Rook explained just barely taking his attention off Fisttrick, "A living planet."
"What? A pile of rocks? Don't I already have someone like this on the Omnitrix?" Ben seemed to think over to quickly drop the thought when Fisttrick stomped down making Gwen and Rook dive in different directions.
"Hey rock head, that little shapeshift thing ain't gonna help you here!" Fisttrick said throwing a powerful punch launching the living planet through the wall of the warehouse. "All that size…and you can't do anything with it. Pathetic." Fisttrick taunted exiting the warehouse in the suit before grabbing Kevin's car off the ground. He hurled it at Ben who raised an arm in defense, a strange white energy wrapped around it, and Kevin's car stopped mid-air.
"Huh?" He asked in confusion.
"Ben!" Rook said seeing Ben was okay, "Ben, Galileans can manipulate gravity."
"You don't say…" Ben said with a smirk. "Well, let's see how this chump likes a GRAVATTACK!" The newly christened alien swung his arm down increasing the gravitational pull on Kevin's car, sending it slamming down into the armor of his punk enemy.
"Ben! My car!" Kevin yelled out.
"Oh, sorry dude." Gravattack said. Fisttrick quickly recovered from the automobile attack and tried to throw a punch, but was caught in a minimal gravity effect curtsey of Gravattack.
"Trying to throw a punch while I'm talking? Not cool." Gravattack said, "But since I got you all hung up, how about a little thing I learned from the newest Sumo Slammers game?" Using both hands he raised Fisttrick up high into the air, before causing him to come crashing down under extreme gravity pressure.
"Gwen, Kevin, give me a hand." Rook said rushing onto the back of Fisttrick's armor, "We have to free the Nosedeenians."
"Hey! Don't mess with my suit!" Fisttrick said hitting a few buttons causing a massive discharge of electrical energy from his back. The current flowed through each of three trying to depower the weapon and where thrown off. All three then laid there, seemingly unresponsive.
"Gwen! Kevin! Rook! You're gonna pay for messing with my friends!" Gravattack said trying to charge Fisttrick, but the battle armor sprung back to its feet grabbing the living planet by his face before twisting and slamming him into the ground.
"You! Can't! Defeat! Me!" Fisttrick said punching Gravattack's face on each word. His fist and forearm seemed to sink into his arm turning each punch into a powerful piston blow. "So, you had enough yet bro?"
"Ugh…yeah I think I have." Gravattack moaned out.
"Shame, I have more left in the tank. See, there's a possibly you could be a threat to my organization." Fisttrick retracting the fist yet again for another blow lowering his aim to Gravattack's core. "Interesting side note, I've always wanted to see what happens if you crush a planet's core. And hey, looks like I got my work out today anyway."
"Hey! Leave him alone!" Kevin's voiced yelled out. Fisttrick turned to see Kevin, gaining a fresh covering of armor off the cables of a crane being swung on it like a makeshift wrecking ball before jumping off, forming both fists into large hammers slamming both into Fisttrick making the large armored figure to stammer back before Gwen's voice came up.
"Aquata Risa Spackwata!" She said water shooting up, arcing around the dock to catch the nearly falling figure, tossing him up into the air before hitting the dock.
"Guys! You had me worried there for a sec." Gravattack said seeing Kevin and Gwen okay, "And here I thought me and Kevin where the only ones who practiced combo moves."
"Ben!" Rook called out from the crane controls. "I think I have a way to depower his armor, but I need him to remain stationary."
"Pretty good trick there girlie." Fisttrick said getting his armor back on its feet. "Wouldn't mind having you on my crew. How you feel about leather?"
"Not in a million years creep!" Gwen retorted. "And I have a boyfriend you know."
"Ouch, that had to hurt, hope you didn't get to crushed. After all, gotta be something left for me to crush!" Gravattack said creating the energy around his hands and greatly increasing the gravity upon his opponent.
"You think I can't handle this? In this suit, I can lift this like it was nothing bro!" Fisttrick said, "You got nothing. Just a one trick pony."
"Hey, I just got this guy cut me a break." Gravattack commented, "And yeah, you might be able to handle all this extra weight. But think the docks can?" Gravattack said smirking on that last point. Fisttrick looked down, hearing the sound of cracking concrete, wood, and straining steel beams. Suddenly he burst through, splashing down into the water. Before Gravattack lifted the armor out of the water, before slamming it back down.
"Hey, it's like a dunk tank!" Gravattack said, "You know, this is pretty fun when it's not your butt getting soaked by age regressing water. Hey Gwen, care to give me a hand giving this guy a good cleaning?"
"My pleasure." Gwen responded raising her hand. "Tur-bo!" A pink whirlwind created around Fisttrick but lowered into the water, causing it to spin. Between Gwen controlling the water with the wind, and Gravattack dunking him, Fisttrick was practically caught in a large washing machine.
"How you doing in there big guy?" Gravattack taunted. Inside the cockpit Fisttrick was out of prime control position, soaked, and half ready to throw up. Gravattack caused the water-logged suit to raise and float above the water. "Well Rook, I don't think he's getting any more stationary." Rook nodded grabbing the edge of the crane roof before flipping himself up onto it and running out onto the crane's arm before shifting the Proto-Tool into a bow formation.
Rook aimed carefully before firing off two long and thing energy poles both punching easily into the suit's armor. The containers holding the Nosedeenians released before breaking open against the undamaged parts of the dock, freeing the captured aliens.
"Wow, nice shot Rook." Gravattack said. "Now, one more for good measure." Gravattack said tossing the armor high up into the air, letting Earth's natural gravity bring him falling down to the ground and crashing into the dock.
"Warning, power level critical…remaining power 12%...power lever dropping rapidly…running off backup power supply." Fisttrick's armor sited error after error as he finally got himself back into control of it.
"Okay, that's it. No one makes a fool out of me and gets to talk about it!" Fisttrick yelled revealing a hidden button, "Feast on this bro!" His fist slammed down on the button in anger, several missile salvos appeared from various points in his armor before firing off a swarm of explosive projectiles. Out of reflex, Gravattack raised his arms in defense, but the missiles where seemingly pulled off their course to begin to circle around Gravattack.
"What the…whoa…check it out guys! I got my own orbit!" Gravattack boasted.
"With how big your head can be it was only a matter of time." Kevin slipped in.
"I heard that." Gravattack said, "But I do have an idea…" He said beginning to concentrate while glaring at Fisttrick.
"Oh…this is not gonna end well…" Fisttrick bemoaned. Gravattack began to curl up into a ball, making him resemble a small planet. The large armor began to get pulled in to circle the living planet alongside his missiles.
"Hey…bro…." Gravattack said with a mocking tone on the last word, "Care to make any bets on where you're gonna end up? To late you're off!" The armor was freed from the gravitational orbit and was hurled across the waterfront into a shipment of his weapons. "Hey, don't forget about these!" He released the missile massacre having the missiles roughly follow the same path as Fisttrick. As Fisttrick tried to get the armor to respond to avoid the attack, he wasn't able to get it to work resulting in the missiles to pepper his armor resulting in a massive explosion.
Fisttrick began to crawl out of his ruined armor seeing the team stare him down. "Ugh…. bro…."
"That was not easy." Rook commented.
"Yeah, I don't remember the guy being that tough." Kevin said.
"You didn't even remember him until now." Gwen said producing her badge. "Gwen Tennyson on the Bellwood docks. We have multiple containers of contraband and the smugglers ready for pick up…"
Later…
Several plumber agents where soon on the scene, taking Fisttrick's various pieces of smuggled alien technology into their possession. Meanwhile, others where leading Fisttrick into a kind of shuttle, as he was put through the perp walk, he cast a glare down upon Team Tennyson that basically read 'This isn't over bro. And I'll be ready when round two comes'. Kevin actually noticed something on the ground when looking away to avoid Fisttrick's gaze.
"Dude! A level 6 Techadon Firing Pin! How in the world did Fisttrick get his hands on this?" Kevin said in amazement, before he noticed a blond haired muscular male looking at him with a raised eyebrow. "That I of course was going to give to you Cooper." Kevin handed over the piece of alien weaponry. Cooper placed his hand on it as his eyes glowed blue.
"Wouldn't have been able to do anything with it anyway Kevin. Damaged." He said his eyes going back to normal. "You must have really smacked the guy around to damage it. Suppose you can take solace in that." As Cooper walked away and Kevin gave a slight groan in annoyance Max approached the young heroes.
"So, I thought you guys might want to hear, there's a group of Megawhatts, who volunteered to help power Undertown." Max said.
"Really? Who?" Ben asked confused before Max pointed to a large container being moved containing the Nosedeenians who were previously trapped in Fisttrick's generator. Meanwhile the others who were freed by the battle seemed to be willingly lead into the container. Once even shook a plumber's hand before seeing Ben and the others, giving them a friendly wave, and zapping into the container to join his friends.
"Hey, no problem." Ben said returning the wave, "You know, those guys aren't half bad when they aren't attacking an entire town."
"Yes, they are actually quite friendly. They just do not fully know when to reel their antics in." Rook said, "Now Gwen, I believe you said you had things to take care of back home? I believe this patrol has served its intended purpose."
"Thanks Rook, but after this, I don't know if I'll be able to focus. But bed sounds real nice."
"Have to agree with you there." Kevin said, "Come on, I'll drive you home."
"I am more than willing to give you a lift home as well Ben." Kevin said.
"Thanks man." Ben said, "Just, let's keep it on the ground. Don't want to draw any attention. And by the way, Alien X is real."
"But then why can I not see him?" Rook asked in confusion as they turned to go to the Proto-TRUK as Kevin simply chuckled and Gwen shook her head.
"Some things…you just have to trust me on."
Later that night, a Plumber Cell…
Fisttrick kept his feet on his bunk, doing push-ups against the floor. "Stupid…bro…ruin my ring…force me to this pathetic work out…" He mumbled under his breath. He then heard a ringing coming from a hidden compartment on his boot. Taking a quick look around for guards. He pulled a kind of sim-card like device from his boot and seemed to slide a part of it open. A holographic screen appeared showing the masked face of Nazak.
"Nazak! Great to hear from you bro!" Fisttrick said, "Look, plumbers got me locked up. So, I was thinking you and your crew lay an attack on this place and get me out of here."
"You were captured?" Nazak asked. "Well, that certainly changes things. For starters, it would appear the Plumbers who got you missed this." The masked alien held up a glowing canister. "A galvanized ion power core. Rare, hard to get. Glad to see you could get your hands on it."
"Yeah that thing wasn't easy. But I'll gladly knock down the price if you get me out of here."
"See, that's where the plan changes. We could free you and pay you. But…I have it now. And you can't stop me from just taking it."
"Wait-What?" Fisttrick said, "Bro! You can't do that! We had a deal!"
"So sorry bro." Nazak mocked. "But you know what they say. No honor among thieves. Next time…take your payment up front." The screen died out and the device destroyed itself in a small explosion. As Fisttrick coughed and waved the smoke from his face, Kevin showed up outside his cell.
"What are you doing here?" Fisttrick asked.
"Well, I decided to bring you your meal. A little 'thank you' for taking over my business."
"Hey, it's not like some straight-laced bro like you needed it anymore." Fisttrick said with a smirk.
"Yeah, I don't. But doesn't mean I'm happy you took it. Anyway, Ben pulled some strings to pick your meal. And he let me deliver it. Enjoy." Kevin said giving the covered platter to Fisttrick. The skull-faced man opened it to reveal its contents…chili fries.
"CHILI FRIES!" Fisttrick yelled seemingly afraid of the dish. "It's almost nothing but grease! I'll get you for this bro! You hear me! BRO!" Fisttrick yelled as Kevin walked away laughing.
