Chapter 25: A Triple Date!

Hey everyone! Kyle Tennyson coming back to you! Last time we talked, we met our new sensei, Bella Hyna. She's a heroine sent by the… Gods of the Multiverse, as I like to call them. She calls them the Cartoon Gods. I don't think that's a serious enough title, so I go with multiverse because it makes them sound way more imposing. She was beginning to teach me how to control my other Bijuu… things like Kurama in my watch. I worked with all of them once before to defeat Albedo, but that was because they didn't want fakes of them existing in the world, and I wanted to save the universe, as usual. I was currently working on how to train and master Shukaku, the sand Tanooki. (Is it called a tanooki?)

Bella dragged me out to the desert in nothing but my swimsuit. She was in her own workout clothes as well.

Kyle: "Bella! Why do you have to drag me out here in my swim trunks!? There isn't even a river out here!"

Bella: "It's sensei. Besides, the others are all progressing well. It's your absolute defiance of making friends with the Bijuu that worries me. They're actually really nice once you get to know them."

Kyle: "All of them are fractions of the most powerful entity in the universe! One that almost successfully destroyed it! It's my job to keep them trapped!"

Bella: "Kyle. Do you want me to have to end you again? This is my last chance with you." She focused her gaze into my eyes. She continued, "Need I remind you that I had to kill you to reset the multiverse before. It brought you back, and the Cartoon-"

Kyle: "Multiverse."

Bella: "Multiverse… Gods gave me one last chance to make you into the hero you are supposed to be. Something your father and mother would be proud of. Something Ben… I… even Ali can be proud of." I froze on the mention of my mother. Maria Robotnik.

Kyle: "Why do you always have to mention her like that?"

Bella: "It's a driving force for you."

Kyle: "It is. Now, let's get started." Bella transformed into Crocodile from One Piece.

Crocodile: "This should help you out considerably."

Kyle: "I'm sure it will." I planted my hands into the dirt, and began focusing my energy at the sand below. The Chakra Bella taught me about began to flow. Bella was forming a sand wall. I was following her example, and I felt Shukaku's energy beginning to flow.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "So, is it time for us to fight together?"

Kyle (thinking): "Yeah. It sure is, the sooner we can figure out a bond… the more confident I can be about having the rest of you around." Shukaku was the one I was beginning to form a good bond with. Chomei, the seven-tailed beetle, was also kind of friends with me, but she didn't consider me worthy of using her powers yet, most likely because I never learned the ability of harnessing the 2-6 tailed beasts. Once I learned the absolute basics of Chakra manipulation, flow, and usage, Bella thrusted me right into learning to harness my Jinchuuriki powers. I had just now formed a sand casing around myself, and I felt strikes from Bella hitting my barrier. She was teaching me Gaara's sand power. His sand barrier was one of them, and I had just now figured out how to keep it stable, and make it grow spikes to hit anyone coming for me. Keep in mind, I need Shukaku's power flowing through me to do this.

Crocodile: "Keep it up, Kyle! I can feel you and Shukaku working together!" I grinned.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "This girl is crazy…"

Kyle (thinking): "But her tactics are working, aren't they, pal?"

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "I wouldn't say pal… but I do tolerate you."

Kyle: "Nice." I gathered sand around my hands, forming giant Sandman gauntlets, and opened the orb, hopping out at Bella. I punched her in the face, sending her flying into the rocks behind her. She got up, looking like she felt no damage. But I was used to this by now. She wasn't going to feel the pain no matter what I did.

Crocodile: "Opening that barrier prematurely isn't a good idea in a real fight, kid." She told me. I grinned.

Kyle: "I don't think it's going to matter. Besides, we're both sand beings. We won't really hurt each other no matter what we do!"

Crocodile: "True… but we will need to work on getting you to master your powers now, while we still have time."

Kyle: "Time?"

Crocodile: "Remember when I said bounty hunters have been after you since you were a child?"

Kyle: "Yeah."

Crocodile: "You're starting to get to a point where maybe I don't have to be around spying on you."

Kyle: "You're still doing that?"

Crocodile: "When you have mastered your Chakra, Codon, and Chaos energies… you won't need me constantly on your back."

Kyle: "Right."

Crocodile: "Now, where will we go from here?"

Kyle: "SAND COFFIN!" I slammed her on both sides with two walls of sand. She rematerialized out of them, cracking her neck.

Crocodile: "Shukaku's idea?"

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Shit." I hopped at her again as she stretched out her hook hand to hit me. I ducked under it, as she had jumped over me again, faster than I could see, and I moved at super speed to dodge her as well.

Crocodile: "You look like you saw a ghost."

Kyle: "I keep forgetting you can use all of your powers in any form no matter what form you're in!"

Crocodile: "Like this?" She vanished yet again.

Kyle: "Flash Step." I ducked under the ground again, trying to meld with the sand in the ground. I had to think like I was Sandbox in this moment.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "That's it. You're doing it."

Kyle (thinking): "She has telepathy, remember. She'll be able to find us no matter what we do."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "I know. It makes it troublesome to gain an edge on her. Those Multiverse Gods chose their champion well."

Kyle (thinking): "But I am capable of throwing her for a loop if I try hard enough…" I rematerialized behind a mountain wall, then as I felt an attack coming, I opened a hole in my chest, and avoided getting ran through by the toxic hook. Bella came out of the wall, and got in front of me.

Crocodile: "Predicted through both Crocodile's natural skill, AND Flash Step. You still impress me. You're like me when I started."

Kyle: "Better even?"

Crocodile: "Don't get overconfident, brat. You still have eight beasts to go." I dreaded what I would have to do to get Kurama to trust me. I really did. After all the forceful restraints, after all of the cursing, insults, and… hatred. I can't think that way anymore. I swung around, punching her face into the mountain, but she reformed behind me, and lassoed me through another wall, and made me form my defensive ball again. My Ultimatrix beeped.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "It's Ali. Should I tell her to call back?"

Kyle (thinking): "A little busy right now!" I rolled into a ball after sprouting my Mobian quills, sprouted the spikes on my outer shell, and rushed for Bella's location. As I rolled for her, she slammed my ball apart, making me fly into the top of a cliff. I reformed my body, reducing the impact, and I saw she was Sandman from the Spiderman comics.

Sandman: "Calls can wait, hero!" She swirled through the air currents and sand particles, and got in front of me as I made sand claws shaped like Shukaku's claws to cover my regular hands. His armor began to cover me.

Kyle: "Form advancing is still working, Sensei."

Sandman: "Good. You and Shukaku did get along fast. It amazed even me."

Kyle: "Good. The one thing we can't seem to master is replicating the Jinchuuriki form perfectly…" My voice became slightly more gravelly.

Sandman: "Your power is still very high, Kyle. For a beginner at this, you're catching on fast."

Kyle: "It also helped that Shukaku was pretty open to friendship despite Kurama's urges." I smirked. I then stretched my claws out at her. She smacked my attack away, and rushed at me. I hit the ground, making a shockwave to force her back, pulling my stretched arm back to me.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "We can't completely transform into me because of your worries of my savagery. You're afraid of losing control."

Kyle (thinking): "I'm sorry I have to admit that."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Accessing my Chakra and using my powers is one thing. I am not afraid of doing that if I have to, or if you just want to use it for your own purposes… but if we truly have to come together as one to handle a threat, which I fear may be soon, we could mess up." That was foreboding.

Kyle (thinking): "Thanks for giving me a chance, Shukaku."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "You're welcome."

Sandman: "Still sorting out your partnership?!" She hit me again, when I was vulnerable. DAMN! I kicked her head, but she opened it so I would miss on purpose. When she struck at me again, I opened my gut, then whipped her into the floor. I stretched her around and began whiplashing her around wherever I could. I closed the hole, and began forming sand rings over my head. I tossed them at Bella as she was down, when some water rushed at me. I ducked under it by shrinking into a puddle, then I got up a bit to see that she changed again. Now she was Tia Harribel, the third Espada.

Harribel: "We shall see how you handle water, Kyle. Cascada!" She sent a wave of water at me, which I dodged, and then ran up the wall, and stretched my arm out at her to pull her towards me. She dodged yet again, and kicked me into the floor, and laughed.

Harribel: "Sonido, Kyle. You still need to respond on time." She vanished again. I could tell she was beginning to start playing with me, meaning I was beginning to fail.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Calm down! You need to focus!" I followed Shukaku's orders this time, and sunk into the dirt, avoiding the puddles. I resurfaced, and tried to sense her, but it was like she vanished. Literally.

Kyle (thinking): "Can you sense her? I'm having trouble!"

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "I can get a faint signature coming from behind! Raise up a wall!" I raised up a sand wall as he commanded, then tried to Sand Coffin her without her getting me, when I saw a puddle of water reforming behind me, and I got rushed through, slashing me apart with a sword. Harribel's sword.

Harribel: "Shukaku detected me, but you didn't." She reformed, and planted her foot on me as my right half reattached to me left half, but loosely.

Harribel: "I need you to understand your form's weakness as well as its strengths."

Kyle: "I figured as much."

Harribel: "You're still doing well, I admit that, but you are still muscling it. Again."

Kyle: "You… know… me…"

Harribel: "Reform yourself. Tighter." I focused on my halves, and they reattached themselves, but the connection was still loose.

Kyle: "Damn…"

Harribel: "Do you notice how much harder it is? Yes, the water will evaporate out, but it is much harder to put your form together."

Kyle: "I noticed."

Harribel: "Kyle." I looked her in the eye. She said, "I transformed into Harribel to prove this to you. Yes, I could have gone Water Hazard, or maybe even allowed a Blizzaga spell to melt on you, that is how I can take you out right now. Your Chakra control is much better than when we started. I can tell you've been practicing."

Kyle: "My gravity chamber is responsible. It's supposed to accelerate my training. The others only go in there when I do, and I'm usually on my own as far as I know."

Harribel: "Your gravity chamber, of course." She closed her eyes, and crossed her arms.

Kyle: "Bella?"

Harribel: "Sensei to you."

Kyle: "Sorry, Sensei."

Harribel: "I need you to be careful about utilizing it. It may drain you of your energy very quickly if you use it in a bad way."

Kyle: "Of course…"

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Are we going to keep fighting?"

Harribel: "After I'm done, raccoon."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Shit… she does have telepathy. Like you said."

Kyle (thinking): "Duh. It's how she always finds us. We must make such a racket."

Harribel: "You have no idea. Now… I want you to try to finish the transformation into Shukaku's form if you can." I nodded, and closed my eyes. I could feel both Chakras flowing and blending, but there was a force splitting it up.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Kyle! Focus! Don't restrain it!"

Kyle (thinking and out loud): "I know." This was much harder than it looked. I moved into a sitting position as my one sand tail wrapped around my waist. I felt the chakra flow.

Harribel: "Kyle, let Shukaku in! He's opened himself to you."

Kyle: "But… I don't…"

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Just let me… feel your energy. I'm letting you feel mine. It was the first step for this to work."

Kyle (thinking): "I had to undo the seal on you to allow us to fight together. Then I fought you, and we got along… after a talk, and a chakra meld Sensei let us experience. It felt wonderful. But…"

Shukaku (In Kyle's head): "It's like a trust exercise! Let me in." My Chakra opened up, and I felt the Bijuu Chakra moving into mine, just as he let me into himself. I felt my eyes twitching, and my body was twitching. I began taking deep breaths. Harribel changed back to Bella.

Bella: "That's it… feel it… you two need to become one. Just like the other aliens." I could feel my physical body getting completely enveloped in sand, and that the sand was increasing in size. My Chakra and Shukaku's Chakra were melding. This was going to be so good. Suddenly, I felt a force coming from outside. A violent one.

Kurama (in Kyle's head): "HE IS MINE, SHUKAKU! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

Kyle: "Kurama!"

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Wait… How did he find out?!"

Kyle: "He must have saw the seal get opened on you."

Bella: "Let me in! I can keep him forced back!"

Kyle: "No! I have an idea!" I flew to the key Azmuth gave me before, five years ago, made specifically to restrain Kurama. I grabbed it, and then tossed it at Kurama, making him fall back.

Kurama: "GAHH! NOOO!" The key hit Kurama, trapping him behind a seal.

Kurama: "NO! KYLE TENNYSON! HOW DARE YOU!"

Bella: "No." She appeared before his door, and made some jutsu signs.

Bella; "Yamato Seal!" Wooden bars appeared over Kurama's door, and Kurama began banging against them.

Kurama: "YOU FOOL! THE SHAPESHIFTING FEMALE WON'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT YOU FOR LONG, TENNYSON! I WILL DESTROY HER! AND THEN TAKE YOU OVER! THE JUBI WILL RISE AGAIN!"

Kyle: "No. He won't. You'll still be you. Trapped. Until we see eye to eye for once." My eyes opened, and Bella was forced out of my mind. The sand from the mini-Shukaku form I was in went back into the ground. I was panting now.

Bella: "We'll try again later. I'm happy with your progress. You were letting Shukaku into your Chakra for once."

Kyle: "I'm still afraid, Bella. I really am. Not only about my NIDS bullshit, but also about Kurama… and the other Bijuu in me… and how Ali is taking all of this."

Bella: "If she really loves you, you'll stay together." She put her arm on my shoulder.

Bella: "Come on. I'll take you to her." I nodded, and let her teleport me to Ali's apartment.

Ali: "Bella? Kyle?"

Bella: "Kyle needs some time with you. We tried to get him and Shukaku to finally become friends, and be one being, but Kurama got in the way. Kyle needs rest, and your company." Ali nodded.

Bella: "I'll go see how Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are doing on their lessons. You guys need to sort some things out." She teleported off again. Ali hugged me as I was still hugging myself. I turned to hugging her.

Ali: "Baby."

Kyle: "Ali…"

Ali: "Want me to cook dinner for you tonight?"

Kyle: "Sure. Thank you."

Ali: "I was going to make homemade pizza tonight. You want some?"

Kyle: "That sounds amazing."

Later…

Ali made me her world famous homemade pepperoni pizza. Of course, besides the things Max made, this was one of my favorite meals in the world. I needed high calorie meals in order for my super fast metabolism to be sated. I sped through my meal.

Ali: "I still remember when you needed regular meals."

Kyle: "I didn't realize I had speed abilities. Now that I know I have them…"

Ali: "How is it not having Chaos powers?"

Kyle: "Annoying. But these Chakra powers are also really cool."

Ali: "Good to know. I've been learning to control myself after absorbing energy thanks to Bella. Kevin, as well. We're both doing very well now."

Kyle: "Gwen's not only a manna master. She's learning the Kingdom Hearts spells as we speak. And Ben… wow. He's learning so much more… than… I… ever taught him." I sulked.

Ali: "Ben appreciates you and you know it."

Kyle: "Yeah. I know." It always brings me down slightly to know that Bella's doing better than me at teaching Ben to do stuff now. In fact, he even caught up with me. Slightly. It's hard to gauge. He does know how to use all of the aliens at least.

Ali: "He caught up…"

Kyle: "I know. Am I jealous?"

Ali: "No. No way. I know you when you're jealous. You're way more mad and sarcastic."

Kyle: "Right." I smiled.

Ali: "You seem to have enjoyed that pizza. How bad was… Kurama being?"

Kyle: "He tried to prevent Shukaku and I from truly joining. And after all that time of bonding and training with him. We almost had it."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "We did have it. Kurama just interrupted." I nodded.

Ali: "He talked to you?"

Kyle: "Yeah. The more we interacted, the more we bonded, and now we just talk."

Ali: "That's nice… bonding with a fraction of a cosmic entity that was bent on ending all life in the universe."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Tell her to shut the fuck up."

Kyle: "He doesn't like what you said."

Ali: "I bet not." She rolled her eyes. I got up to hug her. She hugged me once she noticed what I did, then I felt Shukaku feeling nice about the hug. None of the other aliens I bonded with this close ever did that.

Shukaku (In Kyle's head): "I love this… feeling." I smiled wider. I kissed Ali on the cheek, and she returned the favor. Shukaku yet again felt the positivity. What is it with learning from Bella that changes the nature of my bond with my alien forms?

Ali: "You feel different than usual…"

Kyle: "It's probably Shukaku in there."

Ali: "Whatever it is, it's amazing."

Kyle: "My aura… huh?"

Ali: "Oh yeah, definitely." I looked to her.

Kyle: "Can I stay the night?"

Ali: "Of course." We went to her room, after changing. Ali kept some spare clothes for me if I ever stayed over. Once we slept, I looked back into my mind to try and find Shukaku. His door was pretty far off from Kurama's.

Glacier: "Kyle." He flew over to me.

Kyle: "Hey, Glacier."

Glacier: "You're seeking the one-tailed beast?"

Kyle: "Y-yes… Please tell me you're all not giving him too much shit."

Glacier: "We are not. You and he get along, and you have bonded much like the rest of us have with you." He referred to Sugilite, Raven, Ghostfreak, Feedback, and Yang, too. Glacier led me to the area where Shukaku usually spent his free time after I let him into the rest of my roster. He was in a large desert area of my mind, wandering. He said he found deserts to be a very comfortable environment. Fourarms also apparently hung out here. Shukaku was looking at a cactus when I got there.

Kyle: "Hey, raccoon-breath!" He turned around, smirking.

Shukaku: "Heh. Tennyson. Nice of you to drop by. I see you brought the Necrofriggian."

Glacier: "You take issue to my presence?"

Shukaku: "Not at all. I was just admiring the looks of this little cactus. I do not know why it grabs my attention so much, but it is a notable thing, I suppose." I looked at it. It looked like a Cactaur from Final Fantasy.

Kyle: "Well, this was a little idea I had. I figured you might like it."

Shukaku: "I do. Say… what is it going to take for us to truly become one?"

Kyle: "Kurama not intervening. How do the rest of the tailed beasts feel about this so-called betrayal?"

Shukaku: "They didn't take it lightly."

Kyle: "Of course."

Glacier: "I for one, am happy Kyle could convince you to help us."

Shukaku: "Well, it was either stay trapped, or do something with my abilities. That Bella female definitely outlined the importance of fighting for something important. You are not good with words, Tennyson, but your actions make up for it."

Kyle: "Good of you to notice, raccoon." Shukaku laughed.

Shukaku: "I guess we'll see. Who knows how much you'll be able to do after this?" He continued looking at the cactus.

Kyle: "Well, I need to go to bed… um… see ya."

Shukaku: "Yeah, see you, too." I went to bed for later that day. The next day was really when everything with my bonds with my aliens would be put to the test. When I woke up, I was treated to an unusual call that day after breakfast. I looked at my Ultimatrix.

Kyle: "Trey?" I picked up the phone as Ali got up.

Trey: "Hey, my man! How ya doin' today?"

Kyle: "Had a long afternoon the other day training. I'm a little drained."

Trey: "Already? You just got up, my man!"

Kyle: "True. How are you doing?"

Trey: "Good, bro. Say, what do you say to you, Ali, Ben, and Kayla joining up with Chare and I later?" I wondered what he meant for a moment.

Kyle: "Is Logan going to be able to-"

Trey: "He's gonna be meeting up with us for a bit."

Kyle: "OK…" Cool. At least Logan's still fighting with Trey and Charity. (A/N: This chapter happens before Arsenal: Galactic Hero.)

Trey: "Well, I need the time, it's the weekend, and Charity thinks it's a good idea."

Kyle: "I think we can go. I just need to set some things straight first before I come. I'll tell you if I can't."

Trey: "Great! I'll be waiting for ya." He hung up.

Ali: "It was Trey?"

Kyle: "Yeah." Ali was picking clothes as I looked at her.

Ali: "Is he okay?"

Kyle: "He's alright. But he wants to take you, me, Ben, and Kayla on a triple date with him and Charity."

Ali: "Sounds wonderful! I finally get to meet her!"

Kyle: "So does Ben."

Ali: "Then who will watch out for his Bellwood?"

Kyle: "Logan and Impact, as far as I know."

Ali: "Impact, huh? Nice."

Kyle: "Sweet! I'd better call Ben and Kayla up." I immediately started with Kayla. I heard her ringback tone of 'Red Like Roses', then I heard it pick up.

Kayla: "Hey, bro! Whazzup…?" She sounded a little groggy.

Kyle: "Sorry to wake you up, but I wanted to know if you'd be willing to go on a triple date with me, Ali, Ben, Trey, and Charity."

Kayla: "I am SOO there! Um… Provided we're putting our NIDS project on temporary hold."

Kyle: "Temporary, yes."

Kayla: "I also have to give you something. That little project I had under wraps is done now. It's for your Ultimatrix."

Kyle; "An upgrade? I thought I was already perfect."

Kayla: "Ha ha. I'm not going to spoil the details yet, but it's going to be quite an important tool."

Kyle: "Gotcha. You can give it to me on the date."

Kayla: "As long as Ben understands it's for your Ultimatrix exclusively, I'm sure." We chuckled.

Kayla: "I'll call Ben. He'll love this!"

Kyle: "You do what you have to do today. I got Ben covered. See ya later." I hung up, and immediately went to call Ben as Ali walked into the shower.

Ben: "Yawwnn… Hello?"

Kyle: "Ben, sorry to wake you up, but I need to tell you this! I got a triple date arrangement from Trey."

Ben: "I finally get to go to his Bellwood?!"

Kyle: "Oh yeah. You, me, Ali, Kayla, Trey, and Charity. What do you say, bro? You in?"

Ben: "Oh yeah! I AM SOOO IN! I'll set Sumo Slammers to record on my DVR."

Kyle: "For afterwards, I hope. Trey's Ben is younger though. You may end up meeting him."

Ben: "I just hope Bella will let us go."

Kyle: "I have a backup plan in case she doesn't take too kindly." I got a devious smile. I was also fairly confident Bella wasn't close by. I think she was still preparing to deal with a Kurama breakout in case Shukaku and I decided to train together again today.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "You know I'm against this, right?"

Kyle (thinking): "Dude, we all need a break. Besides, I've been training for weeks straight with her. All of it involved you."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "I suppose all humans need a break once in a while. I'll give you the space you need if you desire it."

Kyle (thinking): "Thanks, man. I need to pick my clothes for today."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Won't it be the same as usual?" Shit. Curse getting used to the same outfit day in and out. I just grabbed my usuals, and went with it. Man… Cartoon reality gets to ya fast.

Later…

I met up with Bella at the base. She had taken up semi-permanent residence here.

Bella: "Hey, Kyle. You finally over the whole Kurama thing?"

Kyle: "Yeah. Staying with Ali was a good idea. Hey… how about we take a brief break from training today and pick up tomorrow?" This perked her ears up, and she turned to look at me.

Bella: "What happened to wanting to even the score with me as soon as humanly possible, Kyle?" She smirked, crossing her arms to me.

Kyle: "You see… I have a friend, Trey Sergauson. He lives in another dimension."

Bella: "I'm well aware of Arsenal's exploits. I also know you and he are buddies. Not quite as close as he is with Logan and Charity, but up there. What is this question you have?" As I was about to respond, she stopped me.

Bella: "I see your question, and I'll raise you an appropriate response! No. Not today."

Kyle: "What?!"

Bella: "Hey. The Bijuu are nothing to toy around with. You already know that."

Kyle: "Don't you think I already know that?!"

Bella: "Those blocks we put up on Kurama won't hold forever. If we don't get you to master your bond with the other tailed beasts before then, you're not going to be able to solve this. At all."

Kyle: "It's just one day! Don't you say that everyone needs a break?"

Bella: "Not now. I gave you your break already when I sent you to stay with Ali for the night. Come on. Get your trunks on again."

Kyle: "I still don't understand why we need to get to exposing ourselves for training."

Bella: "Exposing all of the necessary pores of the skin allows for more respiration. Also-"

Kyle: "You and I both know you're throwing bullshit together."

Bella: "Maybe I am… Maybe I'm not." She gave me a very big smirk.

Kyle: "There are times I don't know-"

Bella: "If I'm kidding around with you or being serious, I'm well aware. HOOHOO!" She launched herself through the ceiling of the base like a rocket, then spontaneously reappeared next to me.

Bella: "But my point still stands, Kyle. No date today." I grumbled to myself.

Bella: "Wood chipper again? Really?"

Kyle: "STOP LOOKING INTO MY HEAD!" My eyes were trying to go red, but didn't. I sighed, and followed her. I was taken to the desert again, where everyone else was.

Gwen: "Why did you drag all of us out here?"

Kevin: "Yeah. I still had a car to fix."

Ben: "I just finished lunch!"

Ali: "I was already preparing for my sixth undefeated fight in a row…"

Bella: "I didn't bring you all here for something new. Yet."

Kevin: "Then why the hell are we all here exposed like this?!"

Ben: "I swear she likes seeing us like this."

Kyle: "A little too much."

Bella: "HEY!" She cleared her throat. I nodded.

Bella: "Anyway… you all need to put the skills you learned to the test against each other today! It's something I decided will be necessary every month or two. Or when I feel like it."

Gwen: "I can see the merit to that, but do we NEED to be dragged out here in our swimsuits?!"

Bella: "Do not question your sensei!"

Kevin: "I question this." He raised his hand. I raised my hand, too.

Kyle: "Yeah. I do, too. I'm surprised you do this with everyone."

Bella: "Well, at least you're not naked." I fell over as she said this.

Ben: "Sensei…"

Bella: "Ben, Kyle already asked. Not today."

Ben: "What?!"

Ali: "Please?" She tried to make bambi eyes towards Bella.

Bella: "Nice try. Now… let's see you all go against each other with your newly refined skills! Kyle! Ali! You two first!"

Kyle: "Man…" Ali gave me a look.

Ali: "Since she's been taking you one on one the most, I bet you've been learning quite a bit that's new."

Kyle: "True… I did. Let's go."

Ali: "Okay. I'll show you what I learned from earlier." She transformed her body to look like Firecracker from the Q&A.

Kyle: "WHOA!"

Firecracker Ali: "I can now tap into DNA energy I absorbed in the past. Which means… I can turn into Firecracker or Draculust me whenever I want."

Kyle: "Oh boy."

Ali: "You are so done."

Bella: "Kyle, show her." I nodded, and resummoned sand around myself.

Firecracker Ali: "Huh?" Once the sand formed, blue lines sprouted out, my fingers grew claws, and I grew a long tail. My eyes opened to be completely black with red irises. An Ultimatrix symbol appeared on my chest.

Firecracker Ali: "You got one of them to listen to you?"

Shukaku: "Oh yeah… I did."

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Not really listen, more like work together with."

Shukaku (thinking): "Right." Yes, I finally figured out how to turn into him thanks to Bella. Once I actually blended my Chakra reserves with his, it was an official form. I gotta love the results of Bella's training sometimes, right?

Firecracker Ali: "Bring it on." She slammed her fists together, turning her newly grown Ember Celica on. I stretched my claws out at her, making her dodge. She then fired bullets at me, but I took them. They flew right through me.

Firecracker Ali: "Hey! That's cheating!" I smirked, then rolled at her. She dodged.

Shukaku: "Ha. There's no cheating when I'm involved. I have every superpower in the book, remember?"

Firecracker Ali: "Right…" She hopped at me as I put up a sand shield, then slammed her on both sides with fast stretchy arms, and slammed her into the sand.

Ben: "Holy crap!"

Gwen: "Kyle DID get better."

Kevin: "Amazing."

Bella: "Told ya." Ali got up, and punched my sand shield open, then absorbed the sand, becoming a sand form of herself.

Shukaku: "Ali?!"

Firecracker Ali: "Matter absorption, AND alien transformation. At the same time." She charged at me, and punched me in the face, but I sunk to the ground, reformed behind her, and slashed at her again, and she was sent flying a few feet as I rushed at her again, and punched her yet again. She turned around, and began shooting explosive bullets, trying to scatter my sand body around. I slipped down, sinking into the ground. She freaked, as I popped back up, clobbering her into the air. She was having trouble holding herself together in the wind while airborne, so she de-sanded herself to land whole.

Firecracker Ali: "YAAAHH!" She powered up, rushing at me again. I got hit, and my sand particles got scattered. I reformed myself while restraining her.

Shukaku: "You honestly thought that would end it?"

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "Watch her temper. She flares more in this form." She turned around to clock me in the face while Shukaku spoke to me.

Shukaku: "AGH!" I rolled back, then leaned down, and tail-whipped Ali away from me, and spin-dashed into her again. She caught me, picking me up, and then she German Suplexed me, cracking my sand armor.

Firecracker Ali: "Gotcha!" She tried to mount me, as I grabbed her, and stretched her into a rock wall. She whipped me into the top of the wall, then back down, smiling. I pulled her towards me, and then clobbered her, and summoned a sand mace, whipping it down as she caught it. She punched it, cracking my mace as I regenerated my hand. She then uppercutted me, cracking my head armor. The power boosts were already taking effect.

Firecracker Ali: "Looks like I'm gonna win." I grimaced, then slammed the ground.

Shukaku: "SAND COFFIN!" Sand towers were summoned on both sides of her, and hit her on both sides.

Ben: "WHOA!" Ali began pushing them to both sides.

Kevin: "Oh. My… God."

Gwen: "NO… WAY!" I grinned. Ali grinned back.

Firecracker Ali: "Come at me again." I rushed her, and slammed her into the ground again, as she punched me in the gut, nearly shattering my armor entirely. I kicked her in the face, and was trying to reabsorb sand to fill the cracks. Ali launched herself at me, and as she tried to hit me, I whipped her with my tail, launching her upwards, then wrapped her up in it, and slammed her into the ground. She got up, panting, as her Firecracker adaptation faded.

Shukaku: "Ali?"

Ali: "Yeah. I'm not good at holding it for long…" She laughed. I turned back to me.

Kyle: "You did really well, though. You can both absorb and transform… I mean… Wow." I just looked at her, and she looked back at me, blushing.

Bella: "Okay. NEXT! You two gotta rest for now. Ben, Kevin, you two are up!"

Ben: "Alright!" I was wondering what Bella may have done to change up Ben. He couldn't have changed too much.

Kevin: "Alright, Tennyson. How's about you go Chaotix for this one?"

Ben: "Really?"

Kevin: "Yeah. Come on." Ben nodded, transforming into Chaotix.

Chaotix Ben: "Who's the baddest of the bad now?!"

Kevin: "Cool. Now, watch me." He began changing, back into an old form. Is body became rounded like Cannonbolt's, he grew Arcticguana's back spikes, Upchuck's tail, Way Big's head fin, some of Snare-Oh's bandages, Frankenstrike's shoulders and face, Wildvine's fingers, a few of Eye Guy's eyes on his arms, which had Cannonbolt hands, Ditto's legs, and Blitzwolfer's eye on the right, with an Eye Guy eye on the left.

Kevin 11 2.0: "This old form. Ali didn't absorb as much DNA as I did in the past, so, here I am now."

Chaotix Ben: "You wanted to see which form of yours was better, right?"

Kevin 11 2.0: "Sure did, Tennyson. Now… BRING IT ON!" He stretched Snare-Oh tape at Ben, who dodged with XLR8 speed, and then hit him. Kevin rolled back as a ball, tackling Ben over.

Bella: "Interesting fight idea, Kevin."

Gwen: "You can do it!"

Kyle: "Ben! Show him who the better mutant is!" Ben got up as Kevin began shooting lasers at him. Ben dodged again, then shot fire, knocking Kevin back. Kevin growled, then shot ice breath at Ben, who flew over it, then spat Stinkfly goo at him.

Kevin 11 2.0: "AGH! STINKFLY GOOP!" He got it off of his face as Ben punched him, sending him flying. Kevin charged his fists with Frankenstrike electricity, then shot lightning at Ben, who had to dodge around again.

Chaotix Ben: "What's wrong, Kev?! Too hard to hit?!" Kevin breathed ice on the ground the next time, forcing Ben to slip, then he lassoed him in Snare-Oh tape, and whipped him into the sand.

Kevin 11 2.0: "Nah. Just needed to slow you down." He grinned again.

Kyle: "I see what you did, Bella. You taught Ali and Kevin complete control while they were mutated. Awesome job!"

Bella: "Thank you, Kyle. It's good to know I AM getting something done…" She then turned into Deidara.

Deidara: "Hmm?"

Kyle: "Y-yeah. Please don't blow me up."

Deidara: "It's okay." Kevin then wrapped Ben up in vines as they sprouted from the sand. He then threw some of the pods off of his back like grenades. Ben used his Ripjaws teeth to rip his way out, then shot diamond shards to stop the pods. He shot fire at Kevin again, who breathed ice at it, cancelling it out.

Kevin 11 2.0: "Need to try harder, man." He smirked. He then began spitting loogies at Ben, who dodged around them, and kicked Kevin in the face. He was about to turn around and give him a burning left hook, but Kevin caught it, and blasted Ben away with two Eye Guy blasts. He then did the Way Big pose to fire the cosmic ray.

Kevin 11 2.0: "I may not be as big as Way Big, but I still got this!" He fired the blast at Ben, who summoned a diamond shield to block the attack. He shot it back at Kevin, knocking him into a cliff.

Chaotix Ben: "Who's still got the skills?! That's right! ME!"

Kevin 11 2.0: "Not bad, Ben. But I'm still kicking!" He made a sonic howl, as Ben dodged it. Ben flew up after he ran, and began dropping fireballs at Kevin. Kevin moved out of the way of the first batch, then got hit by the second round. Ben fell on him, giving him a quadruple slam attack to his head. Kevin smirked, grabbed Ben, and sent electricity through him.

Chaotix Ben: "GAAAH!"

Kevin 11 2.0: "Who's the better mutant now!"

Ali: "Whoa."

Kyle: "What did Ben get out of this?"

Deidara: "You'll soon see." She smirked widely, as Ben got up, panting. He then smiled. His eyes changed from green to pink, then he blasted Kevin back.

Kyle: "Anodite power?!"

Deidara: "Yes. Since he had the ability to use the Sorceressa transformation, I decided to see if his quarter Anodite heritage left some kind of spark, as Verdona would call it. I was right."

Kyle: "You awakened his inner Anodite abilities. You are SO awesome."

Deidara: "My teachings are a work of art."

Chaotix Ben: "You are SO done. He ran at Kevin, and punched him, sending him soaring. Kevin slammed into a wall, then Ben immediately got back into his face, and began pulverizing him with both his diamond and Heatblast arms. The pink aura around Ben was getting bigger, as Kevin hit him again, and tried to trap Ben in vines. Ben burned his way out, and shot fire at Kevin, knocking him back again. He turned his hand into a diamond blade, then began charging it with manna.

Kevin 11 2.0: "No… way…" Ben raised it up, then smacked Kevin with it, reverting him to normal.

Kevin: "Nice job, man." Ben turned back to normal.

Ben: "Who's your hero?"

Kevin: "You are…" Ben's pink glow turned off.

Ben: "Now what, Sensei?" Bella turned back to herself.

Bella: "Hmm… Gwen? Who do you want to fight? You learned quite a bit."

Gwen: "If Kyle's okay with going again…"

Kyle: "Uh… sure."

Ali: "Be careful."

Kyle: "I will be." I got up to face Gwen.

Gwen: "I learned a lot…" She grinned. I sprouted my quills first.

Gwen: "You sure you don't want to transform?"

Kyle: "Pretty much. Come on!"

Gwen: "If you insist. GRAVITY!" She summoned a black/purple colored orb. I tried to zoom away, but was caught in it, getting trapped.

Gwen: "I know you train in it, but this gravity is supposed to keep you paralyzed." I noticed. I transformed to Gravattack, then forced it off of me.

Gravattack: "Okay. Did NOT see that coming." I rushed at her. Gwen dodged, then threw manna orbs at me. I caught them to throw them back. She blocked them, then brought her hands down. I looked up, and moved quick. A lightning bolt almost struck me.

Gwen: "Thundaga spell. Bella's teachings." She then began hurling Firaga balls at me. I went Flarecrow to absorb them.

Flarecrow: "Not bad, Gwen. Try this!" I shot fire back at her as she dodged, and used her platforms to drop towards me. I dodged, then punched her. She grabbed my arm, judo flipping me into the ground.

Gwen: "Bella helped with my physical training as well, Kyle." I grimaced, then tried to kick her off, but she flipped away. I tossed another fireball, and it missed. I transformed to Scorponok.

Scorponok: "It has been quite a bit, dude." I opened my claws to reveal machine gun barrels, and fired. The bullets missed Gwen as she put a force field up. I then rushed at her, and extended my scorpion tail over the force field, striking her with it. She was pinned down by my tail.

Scorponok: "Try getting out of this, Gwenny!"

Gwen: "AGH!" She focused her hand towards me.

Gwen: "Hado #31: Shakkaho!"

Scorponok: "What in- OW!" I was pushed back by a red blast. Gwen restrained me in her manna after that.

Gwen: "Yeah. Bella taught me Kido spells. Speaking of… Carriage of Thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel. With light, divide this into six! Bakudo #61 Rikujokoro!" Six lights trapped me to one spot. I transformed to Feedback, and absorbed everything she trapped me in.

Feedback: "Come on, Gwen! You need to do better than that!" I sent it all as lightning back at her. Gwen rolled out of the way.

Gwen: "WHOA!" She dodged, then focused on me.

Gwen: "Blizzaga!" Ice shards went flying at me. I jumped over them, and began falling towards her, going Ronin, drawing my sword. She shielded herself.

Ronin: "Not bad, Gwen, but knowing more spells won't help you!"

Gwen: "Terpho!" I was blasted back. I transformed to Terraspin to stop the wind, and I landed on the ground, and blasted myself at her, tackling her with my shell. She got under me, then tried to use a different spell.

Gwen: "Try this! Magnesium Conformus!" That trapped me in place with metal rods form the sand. I saw eight of them. They all held me down.

Terraspin: "DAMN!"

Gwen: "Gotcha now." I transformed into Sorceressa.

Sorceressa: "That should do it!" I opened my hands, destroying the metal rods, and I shot the energy back at Gwen. She flipped over the attack.

Sorceressa: "KEMO CHAR!" I sent a heat ray at Gwen now, knocking her back. I then flew at her, and punched her into a wall.

Gwen: "Oh…" She got up again as I went Cannonbolt, and rolled at her, bowling her over.

Bella: "And the winner is Kyle!"

Gwen: "How?"

Bella: "Gwen, I told you to not use a Kido above rank 50! Those require too much energy for you to sustain without causing a lot of drainage for your manna reserves. I'm just happy manna and spiritual pressure were similar enough that that could work."

Gwen: "But Kyle always wins…"

Bella: "Okay, guys. Break. I'll go try and come up with another lesson for all of you. You all are doing well in learning your new skills. Kyle, your Chakra manipulation lessons have helped you advance farther than ever. Kevin, Ali, mastering your mutations is just the beginning of this. Ben, your Anodite spark is there, and I'm happy it got you the win today. Gwen, your Kido and KH magic is working out for you, but you need to remember that using it too many times in a row can drain you."

Gwen: "Got it." Bella left as we all began relaxing.

Ali: "Is it time?"

Kyle: "You know it." Ben and Ali smiled.

Kevin: "Alright, what kind of dastardly plans are you devising over there?"

Kyle: "You'll see. Ben, now." Both Ben and I went Echo Echo, and split apart into two versions of ourselves. Both sets of clones hit their watch symbols, becoming human.

Kyle 1: "Oh yeah! It worked!"

Kyle 2: "Of course it did. We're set for that triple date tonight!"

Ben 1: "Okay Ben, like we rehearsed."

Ben 2: "Uh huh. You got it."

Gwen: "Triple date?"

Ali: "Uh huh. Triple. Trey and Charity invited us to their dimension for a big dating night."

Kevin: "Wish Gwen and I got that invite! We already missed his sweet 16."

Gwen: "Lucky! Wait. Ali, what about you?"

Kyle 1: "That is where my Chakra comes in." I made a handsign.

Kyle 1: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" I made a clone of myself via Chakra.

Ben 1: "Wow."

Kyle 3: "Hey guys."

Kyle 1: "You know the drill."

Kyle 3: "Oh yeah." He transformed into Ali after doing a different handsign.

Ali: "The likeness is uncanny."

Kyle 3 (Ali): "It sure is."

Kyle 2: "I like it myself."

Kevin: "I'm impressed, too, but you guys need to get out of here before Bella comes back. Hopefully she hasn't read your minds yet.

Ali: "Good point! Kyle, come on!"

Kyle 1: "Gotcha!" I went Teleportal.

Teleportal: "Kyle 3! Act natural!"

Kyle 3(Ali): "Won't be a problem." After that, I made a portal to go to Galvan, and the real Ben and Ali followed me through, while our clones stayed behind.

At Galvan… Kayla was Grey Matter, working on a device.

Azmuth: "Good work, Kayla. The sooner you finish this, the sooner your graduation. Then you can rejoin Kyle."

Grey Matter Kayla: "And I'm done!"

Azmuth: "Excellent." He smiled. Kayla hopped down, and reverted to normal, also in our normal attire as opposed to earlier.

Azmuth: "You are now free to go back to Earth. I have nothing left to teach you."

Kayla: "Thanks for everything, Azmuth. I can see why you're First Thinker." We appeared behind Kayla.

Teleportal: "Hi, Azmuth!"

Azmuth: "Kyle and Ben Tennyson. Welcome. This is unannounced, but appreciated nonetheless. And Ms. Levin. How are you all?"

Ali: "You're unusually happy today."

Azmuth: "Kayla will graduate Galvan High very soon. Her project is a guaranteed hit."

Kayla: "And I can move back with you guys!"

Ben: "About time!" He walked up to Kayla, and the two began hugging.

Kayla: "Hi, baby."

Ben: "Good to see you, too."

Ali: "We're here to pick up Kayla for the big triple date."

Azmuth: "The one with Tremaine Sergauson and Charity Jennings, I presume?" We nodded.

Azmuth: "It will be nice for her to go to an Earth event for once." He put the device for her school project away, then looked at me.

Azmuth: "Kayla also finished your upgrade."

Kyle: "My upgrade?"

Azmuth: "Yes. It should make combat much easier for you in the future." I walked up to Azmuth, and he showed me a crystal.

Kyle: "What's this crystal for, Azmuth?"

Azmuth: "It is a very special crystal, with some technological adaptations. Go ahead. Insert it into your Ultimatrix core." I nodded, and popped out my core so I could insert the crystal. Once I did, I felt a big power surge.

Ali: "Whoa!" Once the surge ended, the Ultimatrix went back to normal.

Ultimatrix: "New parameters attained. Now able to switch directly from one Ultimate or Giga form to another, without reverting to a previous form to do so." My eyes widened.

Kyle: "Azmuth… what did you…?"

Azmuth: "I was only the advisor for this. Kayla built it herself as her first venture into inventing."

Kayla: "It's a Polymorphic Stabilizer… with some other Galvan do-dads here and there. It functions like a Galvanic Mechomorph in some ways. Go ahead. Try it." I thought about transforming, and went Power House.

Power House: "Okay… Here goes." I slapped my symbol, transforming into Ultimate Power House. He was like a purple version of the Hulk now, with a mullet, and was much more muscular.

Ultimate Power House: "Now if I understand correctly…" I glowed red again, and then transformed into Ultimate Wildmutt.

Ultimate Wildmutt: "HOLY SHIT! I don't have to be regular form anymore?"

Azmuth: "Not necessarily. You will still need to start in your regular alien state, but when you transform into your Ultimate forms, you can switch from one Ultimate form to the next, without switching to a normal state first. This change also applies to your Giga forms as well. That was why Kayla had to add extra technology to the Polymorphic Stabilizer."

Ultimate Wildmutt: "No… way." I transformed to Ultimate Big Chill, then went Giga Big Chill, and then into Giga Swampfire.

Giga Swampfire: "HOLY… SHIT. THANKS, SIS!" I turned back to me, then jumped on Kayla as she was still hugging Ben.

Ben: "Hey! Where's mine?"

Kayla: "I can make one for you soon, Ben. I just needed to make sure it worked on Kyle's first."

Kyle: "So if it fucked up, I'd be in trouble?! Wow. Just when I thought you were looking out for me."

Kayla: "Sorry bro. So, are we ready to go to Trey's?"

Ali: "I sure am."

Ben: "Yeah! Let's go!"

Kyle: "Alright!" I tried to go Black Streak, then remembered I couldn't.

Kayla: "Forgot your Chaos Powers were sealed away?"

Kyle: "Yeah."

Kayla: "That's why Ben and I are here." They both transformed into Blue Streak and Pink Streak. Pink Streak was Amy Rose, with a pink Omnitrix symbol on her dress.

Pink Streak: "Ready to do it, Ben?"

Blue Streak: "Sure am, Kay. Now!" They joined hands.

Pink Streak and Blue Streak: "CHAOS… CONTROL!" When they did this, they opened a portal.

Kyle: "Bella taught you how to do that?!"

Blue Streak: "Yep. Then I taught it to Kayla."

Pink Streak: "Follow us, bro!" Ben, Kayla, and Ali went through the portal, then I followed after them, but stopped to wave bye to Azmuth. He waved back, and then I went through. We were back in Trey's Bellwood. It seemed normal again. Since Trey didn't need to call for my help yet, this was good to see.

Ali: "This is my first time here, hero. So, where should we start looking for Trey?"

Blue Streak: "This is my first time here, too." Both he and Kayla reverted to normal.

Kyle: "Well, Ben, I gotta tell ya, the Ben here is 10 or 11. You're going to experience déjà vu. As for looking for Trey, I never saw too many places here. I was here to give him his gift, hang out, and go. Then Apocalypse happened, and now I don't know what. Maybe Mr. Smoothie, or looking for an Arsenal public event would be the best way to go."

Ali: "Good idea."

Kayla: "Should we split up and look around?"

Kyle: "I'll call him first." I turned my Ultimatrix on, and looked for Trey's number. I then dialed it. He picked up after a little while.

Trey: "Kyle, dude! You came?"

Kyle: "Yep. I had to pull a string or two, but I'm here now."

Trey: "Excellent! Hey, I need you and the others to come to the Town Square. Trust me. It will be wild!"

Kyle: "Wild?"

Trey: "You'll see when you get there. Can't wait to meet back up with you, bro!" He hung up.

Ben: "Kyle?"

Kyle: "Apparently they're at the Town Square. Come on. I know my way there." I transformed to Jet Stream, one of the Arsenal forms. He was a green alien with white stripes, who had holes in his hands and feet, as well as a jetpack. He had red eyes and a red Ultimatrix symbol, since I was him.

Jet Stream: "Come on." Ali touched the ground, armoring herself up, and sprouted butterfly wings. Ben transformed to Astrodactyl, and Kayla went Big Chill.

Jet Stream: "Kayla and I will lead the way. Come on!" We flew through the city.

Astrodactyl Ben: "So, there's a big event planned?"

Jet Stream: "I suppose."

Big Chill Kayla: "I hope it isn't too wild. We can't drink yet."

Ali: "That wouldn't be good for any of us. Don't joke like that." As we flew, we saw a signal flare get shot up. When I looked down, I saw Logan, who was holding a bow. Charity, Trey, Max, Younger Ben, and Gwen were all down there.

Ali: "Is that… Ben and Gwen?"

Jet Stream: "Told ya, didn't I?"

Astordactyl Ben: "You sure did. SQUAWK!"

Big Chill Kayla: "Yeah. It threw me for a loop, too." We landed in front of them, and we all turned back to normal as Ali de-armored.

Trey: "Kyle, my brother from another mother!" I walked up to him, and did a fist bump, then we both did jazz hands towards each other, laughing.

Kyle: "Yo, Arsey. How have things been since I left?"

Trey: "Pretty damned good. I had to stop a few crooks to make sure no one would interrupt this little event I have planned for ya." Event? That was when everyone else walked up to me.

Younger Ben: "Hey, Kyle!" I patted him on the head, and Gwen hugged my waist.

Gwen: "You doing okay since…"

Kyle: "Yes, Gwen. Thanks for asking." Logan made a high five with me.

Kyle: "Logey. How's the bionics holding up?"

Logan: "Pretty damn good. My fire arrows seemed to catch your attention." I laughed, then Charity walked up to me. During the times with Apocalypse, she was the closest thing I had to Ali. And maybe… I was the closest thing she had to Trey. But Logan was there, too. Maybe I was wrong.

Charity: "Hey, 10-K."

Kyle: "Chare." Trey looked at me funny, but I just smiled to him, trying to reassure him. I nodded to her.

Charity: "So… you're back?"

Kyle: "In sorts, yes. Here, yes. Also, I'm better than ever!" I raised up my hand for a high five. She returned it, then gave me a very quick hug. I looked at her awkwardly.

Charity: "It just worried me, wondering if you were going back to normal."

Kyle: "I was. I don't think you met Ali. Ali, Charity. Charity, Ali." Ali walked up to her.

Ali: "Pleasure's mine." They shook hands.

Ali: "Did you take good care of Kyle while I couldn't get to him?"

Charity: "I slapped some sense into him when he needed it." I sheepishly put my hand behind my head.

Ali: "Good. Kyle tells me you're a demon?"

Charity: "Yes! I know it may sound weird to hear, but I found out I had demon powers. Now I fight alongside Trey and the others." Kayla had walked up to the Younger Ben.

Kayla: "Hey, there, little man!" She hugged him.

Younger Ben: "Air! Air!"

Ben: "Uh, Kayla?" He walked up.

Kayla: "Oh yeah. Little Ben, this is Big Ben. He's you when you're 15."

Ben: "This isn't the first time I met a younger version of myself. Is Gwen still a dweeb?"

Gwen: "Hey!"

Younger Ben: "You have NO idea! But yeah, we get along alright."

Ben: "Kyle told me about this Impact form you guys had."

Gwen: "Yeah. Kyle told us you had a watch. Trey did, too." Ben showed them his watch.

Ben: "Green Ultimatrix. Read it and weep!"

Younger Ben: "Amazing! Dude! Turn into something!"

Ben: "I suppose. What should I turn into?"

Younger Ben: "Igneo! No wait, K-9! No… Wait! Um… Surprise me!" Ben transformed into Tora, his Saiyan form. He looked like Bardock's old friend from the Bardock: Father of Goku film.

Tora: "This would be me as a Saiyan. What do you think?"

Younger Ben: "Even better than Matt!"

Tora: "Matt?"

Trey: "Yeah, we had a Saiyan on Team Arsenal for a while. When the Saiyans found out I wasn't half-Saiyan anymore, Matt took the title of King."

Kyle: "Nice. Matt can't make it then. I gotta meet him someday." I turned to Max.

Max: "Good to see you, sport."

Kyle: "Max. I don't care if you're an alternate version of mine, it's always good to see you." We shook hands. Ben had turned back to normal.

Ben: "Grandpa?"

Max: "And it makes me feel good that your Ben is an accomplished hero like mine is."

Gwen: "With help, thank you very much." She showed us the bracelet that they used to become Impact.

Ben: "Oh yeah. What do you guys have as powers? Kyle said you fused."

Younger Ben: "We sure do. Ready, Gwen?"

Gwen: "Yep."

Younger Ben and Gwen: "Fuzija!" They became Impact, who was dressed like Ultra Ben, but without the cape, with blue hair and pink eyes.

Ben: "That is pretty cool."

Younger Ben: "You know it!" Gwen's ghost appeared alongside him.

Gwen: "I'm the guiding voice, and Ben does the fighting. But we both use magic." Both Logan and Charity went to Ben.

Logan: "So, Benji. Feels good?"

Ben: "Oh yeah. It's amazing."

Charity: "Good to see Ben gets to grow up well, then. Good thing I'm still with Trey."

Ben: "Y-yeah." Trey made an 'ahem' noise. We all looked at him.

Trey: "Everyone done with the meet-n-greet?" I chuckled.

Kyle: "I guess so, yeah."

Trey: "Good. So, Kyle. Everyone here's been wanting to catch up with you since you left." That surprised me.

Kyle: "Everyone?"

Trey: "Yeah. I got a public event together for you and everything!" Oh boy… I gulped.

Trey: "Dude? You okay?"

Ali: "Um, Trey?" Trey looked to her.

Ali: "Kyle doesn't like speaking at public events like this." Trey looked surprised.

Trey: "But you're well known!"

Kyle: "True, but I never went up to speak like this! I'm used to paparazzi cameras and the occasional street interview!"

Trey: "Okay. I'll go out with you. Nothing can go wrong then, right?"

Kyle: "Y-yeah." I smiled. A bead of sweat trickled down. Trey walked out with me.

Trey: "And Kyle Tennyson is here everybody!" The whole crowd cheered. This reaction surprised me. After I messed up so royally… they still cheer for me? Looking at Trey, I saw him smiling wide, waving to the crowd. I just gave a nervous wave, and began to kneel a bit, but Trey pulled me back up.

Trey: "My man and I don't have a lot of time! We have a big series of events planned for tonight, and I want to treat him to the best night on the town Bellwood can offer! So, we'll start with the questions."

Kyle: "One at a time, please!" I looked around very quickly, and my foot was beating near the podium.

Interviewer: "Kyle Tennyson! It's good to see you after so long! We never got to get these questions out of the way before, so, I'll start. You're from an alternate dimension?"

Kyle: "Yes! It's another Bellwood. This is a way different one, though. Still good! Just… different. Looks better than when I was here."

Woman: "Vicki Vale of Bellwood News! On behalf of everyone here, I have to thank you for being the last beacon of hope in the days of Apocalypse." I stopped beating my foot on the ground. Trey patted my back.

Kyle: "Really? But… I fucked up. I couldn't stop him… or even some of the villains. I mean-"

Vicki: "Are you kidding?! You kept everyone's spirits up! We knew that somehow, you could help us! And you did! You got Arsenal back, and even backed him up in the final battle to save the world! You did so much!" I placed my arm behind my head again.

Kyle: "Trey got himself out. He did most of the work… I…" Trey interrupted.

Trey: "And I couldn't thank you enough for it! Dude, you made sure people could feel like they could get up in the morning. YOU made them think that if anyone could do it, it'd be you. You also not only helped me with Apocalypse, you helped me with Eon all that time ago. Kyle, you couldn't be a better friend from another dimension." I actually got red-faced.

Kyle: "Thanks man." I finally got some confidence.

Kyle: "Anything else?" I suddenly saw a girl in a 10-K shirt. She was good-looking, with long red hair, and green eyes.

Girl: "You single?"

Kyle: "I am taken. Sorry, ladies." I sounded confident again. I also had fans in this dimension, too. After feeling like I failed these people, they appreciated that I even tried to save them all. I continued to answer questions for some time, then Trey pulled me close.

Trey: "Let's hear it for Kyle Tennyson!" I waved again. The crowd cheered.

Trey: "Now, he and I have a big night planned. No more questions. At least for today." He took me backstage.

Trey: "You did alright."

Kyle: "Yeah… I usually have Ali with me in times like that."

Trey: "I can cover for her then. Listen, uh… about that hug Charity gave you…"

Kyle: "We did NOT do anything!" I raised up my hands immediately.

Trey: "I don't think you did. But whatever you did to help her, thanks." I nodded. He continued, "Seemed like she was really worried. I wish I knew you got that mentally beat up after that."

Kyle: "It wasn't her fault, or yours. It was Apocalypse's. Maybe mine, too. Actually, yeah. It was all mine. I tried to save you on my own, and I couldn't."

Trey: "Yeah. Logan told me about it after you left. He said it was like you lost something besides the battle out there." I hung my head.

Kyle: "Yeah. I wasn't immediately sure I wanted to come back, myself, but I didn't want to skip out on seeing one of my best buds." I looked back up.

Kyle: "And I will be damned if I let something like that happen again." My voice turned dead serious.

Trey: "Maybe this wasn't the absolute best idea."

Kyle: "Dude, I haven't seen you in a while. We can catch up, and I definitely feel much better than I did before. I thought the civilians here would've hated me."

Trey: "I know these people. They're just happy you did all you could and kept everyone hoping for a better day. Which happened." He grabbed my shoulder.

Trey: "Come on. We have a triple date to do." He transformed to Jetray, and I followed behind as Stinkfly.

Jetray Trey: "Stinkfly, dude?"

Stinkfly: "Shut the fuck up and fly." He laughed, and I flew behind him. We got to the airship, and everyone was there waiting for us. They must have taken off while I was on TV. Trey and I changed back to normal. Ali hugged me.

Ali: "Hey, babe."

Kyle: "Phew…" I kissed her cheek, hugging her back.

Ali: "You must have been so scared!"

Ben: "Of all the things you face, a crowd of interviewers scares you more?"

Kyle: "Yeah. It's true. I have other so-called irrational fears! Wanna hear them?!"

Ben: "Whoa. Easy."

Kayla: "You did good."

Trey: "Now that we got that out of the way… okay. Logan, Ben, Gwen, you guys are on patrol. You run into a crook you guys can't beat? You call us. We'll be there in a flash." Younger Ben and Gwen nodded.

Logan: "Godspeed, Trey. Godspeed." We all chuckled.

Max: "I'll stay here and keep an eye on the city from here."

Trey: "Exactly. Charity, Ben, Kyle, Ali, Kayla, and I are all going to have fun tonight. Chare and I got it all planned out." Charity laughed.

Charity: "I got it all planned out. You just didn't know we had one until now." Trey looked around nervously.

Trey: "Babes…" I laughed even harder.

Younger Ben: "You all have fun now."

Trey: "Sure will, Benster. But before we do… we'll give you a grand tour of the new digs!" The Armory they had before got destroyed, so they had to get a new airship. The first thing he showed us was the kitchen. It put Ali's to shame. Mine in my base was about as good. I saw Trey's room, which had his Steph Curry jacket hanging off of the wall, and a poster. His bed was still there, and he had a big screen TV, hooked up to a PS4.

Kyle: "Sweet. But I have all three systems."

Trey: "The Xbox One and the Wii U?"

Kyle: "Uh huh. I play Smash Brothers a lot."

Ben: "Kyle's a Sonic main."

Trey: "Good shit. The room next door is Charity's." Charity opened up her room, and we saw pink mixed with a tone of black in the walls. Stuffed animals were all over her bed, and we saw a bookshelf filled with books, with a 'Velvet Horseman' poster, much like Trey's Steph Curry poster.

Ali: "Excellent Décor."

Kayla: "Eh… needs more red."

Charity: "Zip it, Kay." We laughed. Ben put his arm over Kayla's shoulder. Kayla got a sly look.

Ben: "Um…"

Kayla: "Thanks." We then saw the bathroom, which Ali had to borrow temporarily. He then showed us the bad guy cells. I saw Ember, Nabu, Kewl Breeze, Badaboom, Hyde, Terra, Rojo, Morbius, Krantz, Rupture, Spellbinder, and some guy wearing kiss makeup with a Mohawk. Ember turned to look at me.

Ember; "Well well well, Tennyson decides to come back. What, looking back on the handiwork Trey had to clean up, baby pop?"

Ali: "I don't like her."

Kyle: "Yeah. She's the worst singer ever."

Kewl Breeze: "Amen!"

Ember: "Hey! You didn't say that when we worked with Artillery!" Logan's Dad… right.

Morbius: "Quiet! I am TRYING to sleep!"

Hyde: "Hyde don't give shit. Hyde want freedom!"

Terra: "Yeah, Tennyson. Still wish you could have crushed me on your own?"

Kyle: "Fuck. You. I can so do it now. Besides, you're not Eon anymore. How the hell ARE you alive?"

Terra: "As if I'd tell you."

Kyle: "And wow. Trey is right about your cup A's!" I snickered, then dabbed up Trey.

Terra; "What?! HEY!" She covered herself, and then I went Chalcedony in front of her, astonishing her.

Chalcedony: "Cup D's. And I'm not even a woman all the time."

Terra: "You… son of a… daughter of a… FUCK!" She looked away from me, crossing her arms.

Charity: "Trey… Kyle's weirding me out."

Trey: "Kyle, I never thought I'd have to say this… but, can you put your boobs away?" I shrunk them to size B's.

Ali: "He said away! God damn… Be happy Trey doesn't do this to you, Charity." She looked embarrassed. Kewl Breeze made a dog whistle.

Kewl Breeze: "I can see the sides from here!" I turned to him, covered myself, then reverted to normal.

Kyle: "Perv." Now I know how anime women feel. I sweat dropped.

Rojo: "So, Tennyson. Any reason you came back?"

Ben: "He's here on a triple date. With the rest of us."

Trey: "Gotta remember, Rojoke. You still don't have any of your tech. You're in no position to interrogate anyone."

Rojo: "Up yours, Sergauson!" She flipped him off.

Kyle: "Yep. Way crazier than my villains."

Rupture: "Tennyson! You, your sister and I still have a score to settle!"

Kyle: "Sorry, Andreas Fault. Not today."

Trey: "Decent. But I'd rather say… Marianas Trench!" We high fived again. Rupture screamed in annoyance.

Morbius: "I am TRYING TO SLEEP!" He rolled away from us.

Nabu: "You and me both, boy!"

Spellbinder: "DAMN IT ALL! I can't concentrate with you all rambling!"

Charity: "On what?" Spellbinder suddenly got quiet.

Spellbinder: "N-nothing."

Charity: "Better not be."

Kayla: "Want me to get it out of her?"

Charity: "Thanks for the offer, Kay, but I can handle it myself, if the time comes."

Ember: "So, baby pop…" She started playing with her hair in front of me.

Ember: "You really seemed to get your ass kicked. Did you let me?"

Kyle: "1. Stop calling me baby pop. 2. No. Admittedly, I was sucking it. That's why I stepped up my training."

Trey: "Wait. You train?"

Kyle: "Yeah. I even have a new Sensei. Her name is Bella."

Trey: "Hope she's not into vampires." We laughed.

Kyle: "Not that I know of. She taught me some new skills, and I'm a better Kyle Tennyson than ever!"

Trey: "Want to show me how much better?"

Kyle: "Any time, any place."

Trey: "Let's go to the training room."

Charity: "Oh no."

Ali: "The boys want to rumble."

Kayla: "Ooh. Me likey."

Ben: "I think I can stay for that."

Kyle: "4 to 2. Overruled." Trey and I did another dab to each other.

Charity: "I'd better call up Magister Lerman and Pierce, make sure these two keep themselves under control." After she called them up, we reached the training room. I saw the Pierce I saw in the Null Void, and then Phil.

Kyle: "PHIL?!"

Phil: "That's Magister Lerman to you." I got my Ultimatrix ready. Ben and Kayla got their watches ready, and Ali armored herself.

Pierce; "Whoa, hotshot! Magister Lerman is a friendly!"

Kyle: "Wait, what?"

Trey: "I can vouch for it. These guys have always had my back."

Kyle: "The Phil in our dimension was an honest Plumber, but then he got into releasing crooks from the Null Void just to make money."

Lerman: "He did? Wow. Wonder what got him off of his rocker?" He scratched his head, but disregarded pondering for a moment.

Lerman: "Regardless, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person, Kyle. Trey and the others told me so much about you." I lowered my watch, then shook his hand.

Kyle: "Pardon me if I expected a trick."

Trey: "Bro."

Kyle: "Just kidding! Come on." I decided to trust Trey.

Pierce: "You two want to square off?"

Kyle: "Yep. That's the plan."

Lerman: "Just TRY to keep the training room intact. It was supposed to help Trey, but he seems to not care much about training. Logan, on the other hand…"

Trey: "We will, Magister."

Kyle: "Double up on that, Ph- Magister." Magister Lerman nodded, then allowed us to go to the room itself.

Trey: "Hey, Magister, can you elevate the ceilings so that Way Big can fit in here?"

Kyle: "Oh-ho! THAT all out? You got it."

Charity: "TREY…"

Trey: "I got this, Chare."

Ali: "This is going to go so badly."

Ben: "This is going to be awesome!" There was a ding. Everyone looked around the room, then saw Kayla as a girl Freakazoid making popcorn.

Freakazoid Kayla: "What? I wanted some. Plus, I always wanted to see this happen." She sat down next to Ben, who was next to Ali, who was next to Charity.

Ben: "This is going to rock!"

Ali: "Don't seriously injure each other now!"

Kyle: "We won't."

Trey: "Let's start this off small, then work our way up." He smiled, as I sprouted my quills.

Kyle: "Mobian powers, dude. Bring it." I zoomed at him. He turned his hands into Igneo hands, and slammed the ground, summoning a rock wall. I rolled up into a ball, spin dashed through it, and he dodged, but I bounced off the wall, then the ceiling, and headed back down for him.

Trey: "A'ight. I see what you're up to." He dodged again, then turned his legs into Fasttrack legs, and dodged my next attack. He was running at super speed now, too. When he was running for me again. I ducked under an elbow, Matrix style, surprising Trey, and then I landed an uppercut on him, sending him sprawling. I knew I didn't cause much damage, but that was pretty cool.

Trey: "Usually people don't dodge that."

Kyle: "I guess I'm the fastest of the fast."

Trey: "Maybe." I saw his legs transform into Godspeed legs, and freaked out.

Trey: "Or are you?!" He zoomed away again, and was instantaneously on me. I couldn't even sense him coming that time. I was hit with a few rock hard Igneo punches, then picked up. I vibrated my body to phase through his hand, then I flying kicked Trey in the face, and he slid back. I then spin dashed into him, but he deflected me away by using Cannonbolt armor on his chest.

Trey: "HA!" I slammed into the wall behind me, then got up, spitting saliva.

Trey: "I'm a Doppelganger, dude! I can use any alien powers, remember?!"

Kyle: "I remember."

Trey: "How'd you vibrate out, though?"

Kyle: "It's a little something my new sensei taught me. She said it would come in handy. Kind of like this!" I made a handsign.

Trey: "What the-"

Kyle: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" The room got filed with about 30 clones of me.

Ben: "Hey!"

Ali: "Wow."

Charity: "Be careful, Trey!"

Trey: "Chakra, huh? Nice trick. But I know one of you is real, and the rest should disappear if I do this!" His hands became Ironheart hands, and he spread repulsor lasers all around him. I ducked under it as all the clones faded away. He then rushed at me to punch me, but he hit a log.

Trey: "Substitution?!" He was then decked in the face by a right hook from me, and I barraged him with side kicks until he caught my leg, and then he flipped me behind him, slamming me on my back.

Trey: "Ironheart strength, Kyle." He smirked. I then poofed on him, revealing another log.

Trey: "WHAT THE?! That's cheating!" He then made his hands into Echo Echo hands, and spread sonic waves all over the chamber. I heard them, and I was forced to cover my ears. He saw me, then made one of his hands a Flarecrow hand, and chucked a fireball at me. I got hit, and rolled to the side.

Trey: "You learned how to use ninja stuff, too. Tight, man. Tight. Too bad it only delayed this!" He made his hands into Atomix hands, and was about to smash me as I went Stealth, then sunk into the floor to avoid his attack. I then resurfaced, and transformed to Chromastone.

Chromastone: "How's about we go alien now?"

Trey: "Sure." He went Diamondhead, after he put his alien limbs away.

Diamondhead Trey: "This'll be fye as hell, now." I grinned at this. We rushed at each other, full tilt, then clobbered each other in the face. I then tried to throw him over top of me, but he slashed me away, and fired diamond shards, forcing me to shield myself. He then went Titan, summoned his sword, and flew at me, slashing me, and sending me into the wall. I transformed into Omniprime, and shot atom-shaped lasers at him. He got knocked back as I transformed to truck mode, then ran into him, knocking him into another wall.

Omniprime: "Who's the Cybertroninan now?!" He then went Megas, and shocked me using stinger weapons, knocking me back again.

Megas Trey: "Says the one with Bumblebee stingers! WOO!" He then shot lightning at me as I transformed to Robot Mode, then dodged around his lightning.

Freakazoid Kayla: "WOO!"

Ben: "Kick his butt, Kyle!"

Charity: "You got him on the ropes, Treezy!"

Ali: "KYLE! KYLE!"

Lerman: "Wow. They're into this. What about you, Pierce?"

Pierce: "Best show I've seen all day." I grabbed him, then slammed him into the floor again. He turned into car mode, then escaped my grip, making me stumble to my belly. He then hopped up, went Cannonbolt, and slammed into my back. I grabbed him, then chucked him towards a wall, then went Fourarms, and hopped at him again, knocking him into the floor after he tried to rebound into me. I slapped my symbol to go Ultimate Fourarms, and prepared to give him a thunderclap, when he went Armodrillo, and slammed his jackhammer arm into me, and launched me farther away before I could smack him. I went Red Lightning, and zoomed at Trey, but before he could plan a hit, I went X-Plosion, and detonated right into his face, sending him into another wall.

Armodrillo Trey: "Holy shit, man!" He got up, and saw me reforming, then transformed into KaBoom.

KaBoom Trey: "Big bomb guy want to see a boom?!" He then went Ultimate KaBoom.

Ultimate KaBoom Trey: "TRY THESE ON FOR SIZE!" He launched HUGE fists at me. I saw them, then braced myself as they exploded on me. I flew through the room, then landed on my feet. I shot bombs at him. He absorbed each one, then spat them all back at me. I turned into The Worst, absorbed all of it, then flew into another wall.

The Worst: "OW!" He then shot his own bombs at me. I turned into Heatblast, then shot flamethrowers at the bombs, making them explode. I rocketed myself at him, then he transformed into Hydro Tide, shooting water at me to make me land in the ground, steaming.

Charity: "YES!"

Ali: "KYLE!" I transformed into Aquos, then shot acidic water at Trey.

Hydro Tide Trey: "YOW! Acid rain?!" I slithered at him, then jumped on him, making him cringe more as he transformed to Jet Stream, then used his powers to scatter me all over the room. I reformed myself, transforming into Igneo. I shot rocks at him, but his tornado picked them up, launching them at me. I threw up a wall to absorb the rocks, then went XLR8, and rushed at Trey, making his tornado spin in reverse.

Jet Stream Trey: "No fucking way, Tennyson!" He transformed into Red Lightning, punching me into the wall. I recovered, but he was on me in a heartbeat. I dodged him, then punched him in the face, and transformed into Slapstrike, slapping Trey on both sides of his head before punching him backwards. He flipped as I rolled up into a pillbug ball and rolled at him, but he went Power House, and kicked me like a soccer ball. I went straight into Ultimate Cannonbolt, then bounced back at him as a spinning spike ball. He gasped, then went Ultimate Power House, and caught me. I begun spinning while he held me, scratching him with my spikes, then he slammed me on the ground.

Ultimate Cannonbolt: "Ow…"

Ultimate Power House Trey: "So, you figured out how to skip normal to go straight to another Ultimate, huh?"

Ultimate Cannonbolt: "I just got the upgrade, yeah. You?" He transformed to Ultimate Humongousaur.

Ultimate Humongousaur Trey: "Something like that, yeah!" I transformed into Makeshift to dodge his next attack, then shot eye beams at him, making him swat at me. I teleported farther away, then transformed to Permafrost.

Permafrost: "Dinosaurs never lived through the ice age, Treez. Thought you knew that!" I shot ice at him, freezing him up, when he transformed into a purple colored Heatblast, making a fire wave to bust out of my ice.

Purple Heatblast Trey: "This is my Ultimate Heatblast. When I scanned you before, I saw yours was different."

Permafrost: "Maybe so… but I can go even further!" I transformed into Giga Heatblast.

Giga Heatblast: "Have you ever seen me evolve beyond Ultimate?!" I shot black fire at him. Trey tried to absorb it, but got knocked back, and the fire lingered on him.

Ultimate Heatblast Trey: "What the… What is this?!"

Giga Heatblast: "The equivalent of Amaterasu flames. You're done, Treez."

Charity: "Trey!"

Ali: "OH YEAH! Told you Kyle was better!"

Charity: "This isn't over! Show 'em why, Trey!" Trey nodded, then all of a sudden exploded red, getting rid of the flames, and I saw he was in a red battle armor, and in human form.

Giga Heatblast: "What the-"

Trey: "Doppelganger armor. I used it to defeat Artillery before." His hands were also morphed into Celsius' hands.

Trey: "It amps up my limb powers significantly." He flew at me after sprouting Astrodactyl wings. I was tackled into the wall as he made his hands into Ultimate Humongousaur hands to fire missiles at me. I changed into Ghostfreak to go intangible. I then went Giga Ghostfreak, wrapping Trey up in chains.

Trey: "WHOA! Save it for after dinner, dude!"

Giga Ghostfreak: "Hellfire chains. Something I found out I had." I sent fire through them, burning his armor. I saw him sprout a Scorponok tail, and he opened it up to blast me with the gun barrel hidden in it. I was blasted back, and I went intangible to get back underground.

Trey: "Getting real tired of you dodging me, Tennyson!" He turned his hands into Armodrillo hands and began shaking the ground up. I flew up, and rolled my cape around me to make a spike ball, bowling myself into him and slamming him into a wall. He punched me off with Biohazard Smack Hands, then began shooting Doom Discs at me. I transformed into Astrodactyl to dodge around them, then went Ultimate Astrodactyl, and pulled out some pistols, combining my star whips with them to make SMG's, and began firing star power bullets at Trey, who made his hands into Feedback hands to absorb them. He shot them back at me, and I dodged the bullets, and punched him when I got close, then kicked him into the ground. He kicked me upwards with a Punk Buster leg from Biohazard, then turned his Scorponok tail into a Spidermonkey tail to shoot webs at me. It webbed me to the ceiling as I went Ultimate Swampfire to blast myself out and I shot blue fire at him. It blasted him into the floor as I went Giga Humongousaur, and body slammed him. I punched him while he was down, and then whipped him into the wall, turning off the armor.

Trey: "Not bad."

Giga Humongousaur: "We are not done, Sergauson." Trey smiled, turning into Goku, then Super Saiyan Goku.

SSJ Goku Trey: "Think you can handle a Super Saiyan?"

Lerman: "Trey, if you boys are going to take it this far, maybe it should be outside…" Trey looked at me, and I looked at him. We knew we weren't even close to done. Besides, I never fought a Super Saiyan before. I only saw this a few times. He rushed at me, and I caught him, increasing my size to 80 feet tall, and I slammed him into the ground behind me. He punched my hand off of him, then flew at me, and punched me in the face. I then breathed fire at him, pushing him towards the ground, and he smirked.

SSJ Goku Trey: "KAME… HAME… HA!" He fired a Kamehameha at me, making me absorb it, and shoot it back at him. He dodged, and I tried to step on him, but he caught my leg.

Giga Humongousaur: "Too much for ya, little man?!"

SSJ Goku Trey: "Not… even… CLOSE!" He toppled me over, and I landed on my back. When he flew at me, I pulled myself into my shell and spun around, creating an ice shield around myself. After that, I got myself up, and tried to slam him, but he caught my hand, and flipped me over again, reverting me to human.

Kyle: "Ow…"

SSJ Goku Trey: "Don't tell me you're done now!" I got up, and transformed into Bardock.

Bardock: "Heh. As if I'd give up that easily!" I rushed at him, and he caught my next punch.

SSJ Goku Trey: "Dude, don't try it when you can't even go Super Saiyan yet, huh? Only Matt and I can do it."

Bardock: "Who said this was going to be a Saiyan fight?!" I had poofed into a log out of nowhere.

SSJ Goku Trey: "AGAIN?!" He sensed me, then saw I was Echo Echo, and I split into two of me.

Echo Echo: "Can you do this, Treez?" Both my clone and I slapped our symbols, and became Ultimate XLR8 and Ultimate Fasttrack.

Ultimate XLR8: "Two of me…"

Ultimate Fasttrack: "Against one of you!" We both zoomed at him, and punched him on both sides at the same time.

Charity: "HEY! KYLE CAN'T SUMMON A HELPER!"

Ali: "He's always been able to do that from what I remember. He just doesn't always use that skill." Both Ultimate Fasttrack and I were still pounding away at Trey, when he blocked one of Ultimate Fasttrack's blows, and whipped him into me before I could tail whip him.

SSJ Goku Trey: "This just lets me beat one motherfucker with another motherfucker, man! Neat trick, though!" Does anything phase him? Wait… He's trying to make us lose our cool. That's his style. His quips are part of it!

Ultimate XLR8: "Dude, he's trying to lure us in with his jokes."

Ultimate Fasttrack: "He is?"

Ultimate XLR8: "Yeah. If we can get him occupied, maybe we can win."

Ultimate Fasttrack: "Yeah. How?" I smirked. He zoomed of to the side.

SSJ Goku Trey: "You need more than speed, man!" I became Ultimate Atomix.

Ultimate Atomix: "YOU THINK YOU GOT ME?!" I flew at him as my two free electrons spun around me. They began shooting lasers as Trey began using ki blasts to knock them away. Ultimate Fasttrack zoomed at Trey from below, and jumped up, transforming into Ultimate Super GekiRed, and extended his claws to slash at Trey. Trey blocked him as Ultimate Super GekiRed kept swiping at him. I flew behind Trey, and punched him into the ground. I summoned a laser, then blasted him.

Ultimate Atomix: "HOMINA HOMINA HOMINA… ULTIMATE NUCLEAR BLITZ!" I fired, with the two electrons aiding me, blasting at me. Ultimate Super GekiRed summoned his Claw Cannon, and blasted his shot right at Trey. Trey got up, and got hit by both attacks this time. The blasts shook the entire airship.

Ben: "GUYS! EASY!"

Freakazoid Kayla: "AGH!" She summoned a nuclear shield to shield the others. When the smoke cleared, Trey was shielded, and was a larger version of Goku, with Super Saiyan 2 hair.

Ultimate SSJ Goku Trey: "Heh… I actually felt that." I let him get stronger…

Ultimate Atomix: "We need to go all out."

Ultimate Super GekiRed: "I agree." We both landed on the ground, went Echo Echo, and remerged. I then went Firecracker.

Firecracker: "HA! Let's see what you got!" I launched myself at him, and our fists collided when we punched at each other. The resulting shockwave shook the whole airship, and even broke the viewing glass everyone else was looking through. Ben had to go Diamondhead to shield Magister Lerman and Pierce.

Diamondhead Ben: "Should we tell them to stop this fight?"

Lerman: "This is getting out of hand." He hit the intercom just when Trey and I were about to hit each other again.

Lerman: "If you kids keep going, you'll destroy the airship!"

Pierce: "It was just getting good." Ali and Charity sighed.

Freakazoid Kayla: "Are you two ok?"

Ultimate SSJ Goku Trey: "Yeah, we're fine."

Firecracker: "I'm in agreement." We reverted to normal.

Kyle: "This ain't over, Trey."

Trey: "That's okay. I was winning."

Kyle: "I was still strategizing."

Trey: "I went Super Saiyan, and was thrashing your Ultimates."

Kyle: "I was trying not to hurt you too bad. I'll keep that in mind for next time." I narrowed my gaze at him, but he high-fived me anyway, and we began laughing it off. We walked back up to Ben and the girls, who were all in normal form.

Kayla: "That… Was… AWESOME!"

Ali: "I admit, I was on the edge of my seat."

Charity: "I think Trey was gonna win, though."

Ali: "No. Kyle was. We just needed to give him more time to formulate a plan."

Ben: "Kyle was muscling the fight the whole time. Not to mention, Trey's quips were getting to him."

Kyle: "Alright… Alright! So… how's about something a bit less destructive?"

Charity: "What would you guys have in mind?"

Trey: "How about this? We have a 3-on-3."

Ben: "A 3-on-3?"

Charity: "You don't mean…"

Trey: "A basketball game. Us guys against you."

Ali: "Oh. I see your game."

Kayla: "This'll be great!"

Charity: "But babes…"

Trey: "You know the rules, Chare. I promise we'll start easy." Basketball?

Kyle: "Dude, I'm not good at ball-themed sports."

Trey: "Don't worry. You'll learn fast."

Ali: "It's true. I beat him in hoops all the time." I huffed.

Trey: "Okay, then…"

Back with the clones Ben and I left behind…

Kyle Clone POV…

Flash: "Your running training is going perfectly!" All of us were running from Bella as she was the Flash from the Justice League. She had on a purple Omnitrix Symbol instead of a lightning bolt, and her lightning on her outfit was purple instead of yellow. It still looked pretty cool. I could tell she was holding back, but she was still on us very quickly. She was trying to get us used to dodging fast opponents, since the assassins she's been protecting me from all have amazing powers like some of the DC superheroes and whoever else. She even had to stop a fishman from One Piece when I went after the Krakken way back when.

Flash: "Good dodge, Kyle!" I had gone Godspeed to run around it.

Godspeed: "No problem, Sensei! I try my best!" She zoomed for Kevin, who rolled to the side on time, then threw sand in her direction. She also rushed for the Ben clone, who had an Anodite aura on at the time. She tried to kick Ben, but Ben grabbed her leg, and flipped her into the ground. Bella got up, and patted Ben on the back.

Flash: "Also good. Now for the girls!" She rushed for Gwen and the Shadow Clone disguised as Ali. Gwen used her manna to launch herself up, then blast Bella with some manna orbs. Ali me morphed sand onto his body, then shot at Bella, stopping her in her tracks, and she flipped backwards, spinning her arms to launch tornadoes at him. He rolled to the side, and launched sand balls at Bella, making her shield herself and rescatter the sand.

Flash: "Interesting trick. Learn something from Kyle just now?" He nodded.

Kyle (Ali): "Yep. Sure did. Shukaku was a big help."

Flash: "Interesting…" She turned into herself.

Bella: "Okay. Now, you all against me! Think you can all stack up?!" We nodded.

Ben: "You are so done!" He transformed to Jolly Roger, another form we got from Trey.

Jolly Roger Ben: "Guys! Get ready!" Kevin mutated into his first Kevin 11 form.

Kevin 11: "We are going to rock you!"

Gwen: "I know we can take you!" The Ali clone completely covered himself in sand.

Kyle (Ali): "Ready, babe?" She winked at me. I nodded.

Godspeed: "Time for a cool change." I transformed into Trey's Celsius form.

Celsius: "You're finished. You can't beat all of us!"

Bella: "Something tells me we'll soon see." She summoned her Oathkeeper Keyblade, and immediately used Graviga on Kevin, who moved to dodge the orb. He tried to punch Bella, but she flipped him over, and transformed to Deadpool.

Deadpool: "I've been waiting for this! BANGBANGBANGBANG!" She pulled out his guns and began bombarding Kevin with the bullets. Kevin used a diamond shield to take the shots as Gwen tried to knock her back with manna blasts. Bella began teleporting around them.

Deadpool: "ANIME POWER UP TIME! WOO!" She powered up slightly, then hit Gwen with an uppercut.

Deadpool: "SHORYUKEN!"

Gwen: "AGH!" She flipped to her feet as Ali me rushed at her with a mace hand. She teleported away again, then smacked Ali me with a giant bar that looked like a health bar.

Kyle (Ali): "AGH!"

Deadpool: "You need to do better than…" She then got hit in the head by a flying bone arm, which was thrown by Ben, who was now charging at Bella. He then tried to kick her, but Bella transformed into King Candy, and glitched through it.

Jolly Roger Ben: "Glitch ability?!" He was then blasted with Chocolate.

King Candy: "Gotcha, Tennyson! WOO!" She vanished as I began to shoot ice around in an attempt to catch her. She rematerialized, and I froze her, but she burst out as Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider: "Now I'm mad." She sent a soul chain at me, but I dodged around it, and blasted at her again. She smacked my ice beam apart, and transformed back into Deadpool, teleporting, then slamming me on both sides of the head with two mallets. I fell down, then transformed into Humongousaur, and swung at her. She teleported away, then was shooting bullets at me again.

Deadpool: "BANGBANGBANGBANGBANG!" I charged through the shots as she poofed again, and I swung around, catching her as she was about to grab my tail, but she caught my punch.

Deadpool: "Yeah. See, if I was regular Deadpool, I wouldn't be able to do that, right audience?!" She then flipped me over top of her, and I landed on my back. I whipped her off of my tail, and she transformed to Arcticguana.

Arcticguana Bella: "Time for a cool change!" She began to breathe ice at me as Kevin blasted her with a flamethrower.

Kevin 11: "Nice try!" He zoomed at her, then picked her up, slamming her into the ground. She then turned into Clayface, and tried to envelop Kevin. I transformed into NRG, and shot heat into her, making the clay harden. Kevin smashed his way out, and Bella quickly reformed herself,

Clayface; "Now that's hardly fun, boys." She zoomed at us, even though she was Clayface, and slammed our heads together. Ben's skull was flying at us, and then it bit Bella in the head, continuing to munch. Bella chucked his head back at his body. Ben caught it, then transformed into Diamondhead, shooting diamond shards at Bella.

Clayface: "My body is clay right now!" Ben then went Ultimate Diamondhead.

Ultimate Diamondhead Ben: "You might want to try looking again!" He snapped his claws, and the diamonds exploded, splattering her clay form everywhere.

Ultimate Diamondhead Ben: "Gwen! Now!"

Gwen: "Right!" She cast Reflega over top of all of the clay bits, and they were pushing against the barriers.

Gwen: "We win!" She looked behind her, and saw a clay blob she missed. It jumped onto her, turning into a mini Clayface. It clobbered Gwen.

Gwen: "AGH!"

Mini-Clayface: "Blobs! To me!" The Reflegas faded as she reformed into a full Clayface. Ben flew at her, only to get smacked by a clay mace. Bella then shapeshifted into Rosescythe, with a scythe, and rushed around at all of us, slashing us down. Kevin growled at this.

Kevin 11: "AGH!" He zoomed at Bella, then hit her, making her flip onto her scythe. She spun on it, breakdance style, kicking Kevin into me.

NRG: "We need speed now!" I turned into Fasttrack, and zoomed at her. She grinned, then flipped up her scythe, smashing me with it like a hammer.

Rosescythe Bella: "Ooh! This IS fun! I hope you all are learning something!" She zoomed off, then shot fireballs out of her scythe at me. I zoomed around them. Ali me hopped at her, and she turned around, slamming him into the ground.

Rosescythe Bella: "Nice try, Ali! I sensed you coming a mile away!" Ben transformed to Omniprime, and tried to run her over as a truck, but she transformed into Iron Man, then caught Ben, threw him, and blasted him with a repulsor beam, knocking him into the ground.

Iron Man: "Come on, guys! This isn't even fun any-" Ali me got up, and smacked him with an enlarged sand fist.

Kyle (Ali): "We're not done with you yet!" I tried to flying side kick her as she dodged me, then fired another repulsor. I dodged, and tried to deck her with a left hook, but she dodged, elbowing me in the gut. I almost spat on her, but she then blasted me off. Kevin was back on her, and tried to run her through with a diamond blade, but she turned into Fourarms and caught it.

Fourarms Bella: "Kevin… Kevin… KEVIN!" She hurled him upwards as he spat Stinkfly goop at her. She dodged around it, then teleported again. We suddenly saw her as Deadpool, and she slashed at Kevin with both swords, knocking him out.

Deadpool: "This is getting crazier and crazier!"

Gwen: "KEVIN! THAT'S IT! HADO #34! SHAKKAHO!" She fired another red blast, knocking Bella back. Gwen then rushed at her, and tried to punch her, but Bella dodged around, and wrestled Gwen to the ground.

Deadpool: "Gwenny. Nice try!"

Gwen: "You're… going… down!" She shot eye beams at Bella, knocking her off of her as she pointed her hands at her.

Gwen: "STOPGA!" The spell was cast, trapping Bella in place, without movement.

Fasttrack: "Now, guys!" Ben transformed into Rosescythe, and Ali me, Ben, and I rushed her. We all hit her at once, only to see that it was a log.

Gwen: "How could she have possibly got around a Stop spell?!"

Rosescythe Ben: "I have no idea!" I turned into Wildvine.

Wildvine: "Come on, Sensei! We know you're here!" Suddenly, Ali me went down. We saw that it was Eon Bella.

Eon Bella: "Layered Henge… I was preparing it the whole time." I grimaced, then stretched my thorny tendrils at her. She cut around them as Ben got up close and tried to slash her with his scythe.

Rosescythe: "There's no way you can beat all of us!" Gwen ran in to back him up, when I saw them both spontaneously get knocked down. They hit the ground, and Ben reverted to normal.

Ali me: "Whoa…"

Wildvine: "GRR…" I slapped my symbol. It grew spikes now. My arms split open to reveal brown clawed hands, my flytrap closed, and turned sideways. New eyes opened up on them. My leg tendrils combined, then split into two brown legs. My seed pods merged into big guns, and moved to my shoulders to be cannons, and my body became muscular and bulky. I also grew thorns out of my back that spiked upwards like Diamondhead's.

Wildvine: "ULTIMATE WILDVINE!"

Eon Bella: "That's new." She shot a time beam at me as I shot pods out of my cannons. They stopped the time rays. Ali me rushed at her, and swung sand blades at her. Bella deflected his attacks, then kicked him backwards. I rushed at her, then punched her into the sand dune behind her. I then hopped at her, and she teleported away, then morphed into Heatblast, and shot fire at me.

Heatblast Bella: "Plants don't like fire, or the desert! Remember?!" Ali me came up behind her again, then punched her in the back of the head, and slammed her back into the floor. Bella kicked Ali me away, then knocked him on the head. Suddenly, he poofed.

Heatblast Bella: "What the-" That gave me the perfect opportunity to shoot knockout gas at Bella, so I did. Then she went Terraspin, and blasted it all away.

Terraspin Bella: "Shadow Clone? How did I not detect it at first?" I stretched my tendrils at her again, only for her to fly at me, and tackle me into the ground. She then went Deadpool, and knocked me on the head as hard as she could with a big mallet. Then things went black. When I woke up, I saw that Ben and I were strapped up to a rack.

Kyle: "What the hell?!"

Ben: "Dude! How did we end up here?!"

Bella: "Welly welly welly well… Seems like there was a prank pulled, or the both of you are impostors sent by one of my many enemies who are impersonating Kyle and Ben to hide the real ones!"

Ben: "Whoa! Hey! We're Echo Echo Clones! Really!"

Kyle; "Yeah! The real uses are in another dimension! You don't need to torture us!"

Bella: "A likely story!" She pulled something. Ben and I were getting stretched.

Ben: "OW!"

Kyle: "S-SHIT! GAAHH!"

Kevin: "Whoa whoa!" Kevin and Gwen ran in.

Gwen: "THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO?!"

Bella: "Gwen, these two are spies sent by an unknown party to kill Kyle! They just took Ben because… Um… BECAUSE THEY WANTED YOU TO BE HELPLESS! LIKE I'LL MAKE THEM!" She began stretching us again, as Gwen pulled the lever back, making the stretching stop.

Kyle: "Thanks, Gwen."

Kevin: "Gwen and I can vouch for them. They're clones."

Gwen: "Just take them out of the stretcher, and we can talk about this."

Bella: "Okay. Let me ask them some questions only the real Kyle and Ben, or only CLONES of them MADE by them would know the answers to!"

Kevin: "Knock yourself out."

Gwen: "Kevin!"

Kevin: "Hey, why not. This should be fun."

Kyle: "Oh man…"

Ben: "Ditto."

Bella: "Question #1. Did Kyle once plan to eat all of his and Ben's pizza, in exchange for Ben doing all of Kyle's chores?" She had spontaneously materialized a game show podium and a stack of question cards.

Kyle: "Yes!"

Ben: "It's true!" A bell ringed.

Bella: "Good job. Now… Question #2! Did Ben sleep with a teddy bear the day they met Trey?"

Ben: "Yes…" I laughed, then nodded. Another ding went off.

Bella: "Hmm… Final question! How much does Kyle love Ali?"

Kyle: "More than anything!" Ben nodded, and another ding happened.

Bella: "Now… for the tickle round!" She cast a spell, and Lego hands appeared out of the table holding feathers. I froze in fear.

Kyle: "No… NO!"

Ben: "Please!"

Bella: "If you laugh the entire time, I can prove you're not robots!" Kevin exploded with laughter, and Gwen made a facepalm.

Kyle: "HAVE YOU GONE MAD?!"

Bella: "Yes. TICKLE THEM!" We began laughing uncontrollably as the feathers kept moving against us.

Gwen: "Haven't they already proved it?!"

Kevin: "Dude… they're still taking this. I just want to see how long they'll last before they spill everything."

Gwen: "Please. Kyle never spilled to Vilgax. He can handle this."

Kevin: "Or can he?"

Gwen: "Well… he may not be able to take tickles. He never let me… do that." She gulped.

Kyle: "BELLA-HAHAAA! STOP! HAHAA!"

Ben: "PLEASE!- AHAHAHAA!"

Bella: "Nope. Just a bit longer." She twiddled her fingers.

Kevin: "I'm happy she's a good guy, at least." Gwen nodded. Ben and I were still forced to laugh. She kept it up for three more minutes, then called off the Lego arms. We were panting heavily.

Bella: "So, you're organic. Back to questioning."

Ben: "Phew…"

Kyle: "I hope our real selves felt that shit…"

Bella: "They wouldn't have. Now… Question #4… Kyle, did you ever think Ali was pretty before you dated her?"

Kyle: "Y-yes." A ding went off.

Gwen: "I KNEW IT!"

Kevin: "Um… staying out of this one."

Ben: "It doesn't matter now. Besides, you love Kevin now."

Bella: "Ben, on a scale of 1 to 10, how jealous were you before you got your Ultimatrix?"

Ben: "Easily an 8." A ding went off.

Kyle: "I don't blame you."

Bella: "Kyle, what is your favorite color?"

Kyle: "Red." A ding happened.

Gwen: "Duh."

Bella: "A clone might have a differing opinion. Ben. Did you think your Mom's cooking was good?" Ben almost barfed, then a ding went off.

Bella: "Kyle, where's Ali?"

Kyle: "With the real me." A ding went off yet again.

Bella; "Where?"

Kyle: "In Trey's dimension." A final ding went off.

Bella: "I see. So, they did skip my training to do something else." She was frozen.

Gwen: "Bella, I'm sorry."

Kevin: "We should have said-"

Bella: "You knew?!"

Kevin: "RUN!" Both he and Gwen ran as she turned into Fasttrack and ran after them.

Kyle: "Maybe now we can get a break from tickle and stretch torture."

Ben: "Knowing Bella, it's probably going to be eviler than what we can think of."

Back with the real Kyle…

Kyle's POV

Seems like Bella hasn't found out yet. Good. She'd be on my ass the moment she found out! We all changed to be in basketball jerseys now, with the boys' team wearing Arsenal jerseys, and the girls' team wearing a Hellspawn jersey, showing Charity's demon form. They were custom made real quick, just for this.

Charity: "Hope you guys are ready to lose!"

Trey: "Us?! Not with ME as team captain!"

Ali: "Not when one of us sucks!"

Kayla: "I suck, too." She shrugged.

Ben: "So we both have the same disadvantage. That makes it fair." I facepalmed. Ben looked at me, then Trey shook his head.

Trey: "Did you even register it before it left your mouth?"

Ben: "What?"

Kyle: "YOU LADIES ARE GOING DOWN!" Ben still looked clueless.

Ali: "Wait! How about we make this more interesting, and fair for the people who suck at basketball?"

Trey: "How so?"

Ali: "We can all use our powers. But no watch transformations."

Kyle: "Sure!" I nodded. Ali never let me use my Mobian speed and agility before.

Ben: "But I don't have powers without… Oh." He surrounded himself with his pink Anodyte aura.

Ben: "There we go." I sprouted my quills, and Trey got some Fourarms arms ready.

Trey: "Doppelganger limbs fair game?"

Ali: "If it's a natural power of your ability of your alien species, yes."

Trey: "Since my Genocide form works that way, yes."

Kyle: "What do you guys have?" Charity transformed into her demon form, Ali absorbed the court floor, and Kayla sprouted her quills.

Kyle: "What do we play to?"

Trey: "I think 20 is a fair number."

Ben: "Oh yeah. I totally see that."

Charity: "You boys are going down."

Kayla: "And since I can run as fast as Kyle, I can keep up with the fast balls."

Kyle: "But I have more training with it. We have the advantage."

Charity: "Who's the hellspawn here?"

Ali: "Can we just play?"

Kyle: "Yeah. Let's quit trashin'." We got Pierce to be ref as Magister Lerman sat in the stands.

Lerman: "A much safer test of their abilities."

Pierce: "Remember. No destroying the court. This is supposed to be a nice, clean game."

Trey: "We got ya, Pierce."

Pierce: "Especially you, hotshot." Trey nodded, then Pierce threw the ball in. Both Kayla and I immediately dashed for it as we grabbed it, trying to pry it out of the other's hands. Suddenly, I saw some bullets fly for me. I dodged, making Kayla take the ball and dash for our side of the court, when Ben focused his energy on Kayla, stopping her from making the dunk.

Ben: "Yeah. Don't even think about it."

Kyle: "SHOOTING ME, ALI?!"

Ali: "I said powers were legal!" She then made her gun into a hand as Charity flew for Kayla, who chucked it to her, and Trey then made his legs Fourarms legs, and jumped at Charity, intercepting the ball, and he threw it to me. I caught it, and rushed for the other goal, and dunked it in.

Ali: "HEY!"

Kyle: "Boys, 2. Girls, 0!" I made a touchdown dance.

Trey: "There we go, Tennyson! I thought you said you sucked!"

Kyle: "I saw the opportunity."

Charity: "Ali! Defense next time!"

Ali: "He was too fast for me to see!" Pierce got the ball as I threw it to him.

Pierce: "Good work, Kyle."

Ben: "Me?"

Pierce: "Magic hold may be a little much."

Ben: "Aw man." He let Kayla go.

Ben: "Can I at least build force fields?"

Pierce: "Sure. And Ali, no guns."

Ali: "WHAT?!"

Kyle: "Get served!" I laughed. Ali growled at me.

Ali: "You're gonna get served this match." We got back to the center of the court for the ball to be thrown when Charity made a leap for it. Ben blocked her with a force field, then Trey used Spidermonkey's tail to net the ball. Kayla zoomed at his net, grabbing it out, then as I tried to stop her, I felt Ali's hand touch me, and I got a little drained all of a sudden. She zoomed at the ball, and grabbed the ball as Kayla tossed it to her, and I fell to my knees as Kayla dunked it.

Kayla: "Score's tied!"

Kyle: "Oooh man…"

Trey: "Kyle! What happened?"

Kyle: "I got drained suddenly." I looked at Ali, who had her own sprouted quills. They were violet, like Sonia's.

Mobian Ali: "Well, that worked."

Charity: "Good work, girlfriend!" The three of them high-fived.

Trey: "Head in the game, Kyle! Come on!" I nodded. We got into a huddle.

Ben: "That was crazy! Now they got two fast people!"

Trey: "I can change my legs up." He changed his legs to Red Lightning's legs.

Kyle: "Perfect." I grinned.

Kyle: "Keep those on the rest of the game. Ben, try and keep Charity busy. Trey and I will work on Kayla and Ali."

Trey: "Good plan." We looked at them.

Ben: "This isn't over yet."

Mobian Ali: "We know. Come on!" Pierce threw the ball back in the game as Charity made the first move, and used her cape to keep Ben and I away. Trey hopped over, then made his hand into Snare-Oh tape, and wrapped the ball up, pulling it out of Charity's grasp. Ali ran for Trey, and made her hands into a sword to cut the tape. Kayla then caught the ball as I got in front of her to begin blocking her.

Kyle: "Not this time."

Kayla: "I assumed as such." We began running circles around each other. Trey got behind Kayla. I saw Charity and Ali to one side, and Ben catching up to us.

Ben: "You guys move fast…" I focused on the ball, then tried to fake Kayla out. She caught on, and zoomed for the net, when she faceplanted into Ben's shield, dropping the ball. I zoomed for it, and grabbed it, giving it to Trey, who used his tape to dunk it into the goal.

Pierce: "Three points!"

Charity: "YOU… YOU!"

Trey: "What, babes? Too good?"

Charity: "TREMAINE!"

Trey: "Hey!"

Kyle: "Don't get sore."

Mobian Ali: "Kayla, watch the shields."

Kayla: "Charity needs to get in the game!"

Charity: "I am in the game!"

Kyle: "And they're fighting each other."

Trey: "This is what we want, my man."

Kyle; "Really?"

Trey: "Psychology. We need to take advantage."

Kyle: "Oh."

Ben: "I am ALL for that." I grinned.

Charity: "YOU… ARE… DONE!"

Mobian Ali: "Head in the game!"

Kayla: "We can yell afterwards."

Kyle: "Hmm…" Pierce got the ball again. As he threw it, Charity grabbed the ball with her cape, and made a straight shot for the net as I rolled in front of her, making her stop. Ben tried to pull it out of Charity's grip with his Anodite power, but Kayla zoomed by, distracting him. The both of us zoomed around her. Charity chucked the ball to Ali, who tried to use my Mobian ability to dunk it, but a rock pillar blocked her as she ran into it. Trey had Igneo's arms.

Trey: "Rock power."

Ali: "GRR…" She dropped the ball, and I zoomed up to grab it. Trey ran alongside, building up rock walls to keep the others from interfering, but as I was about to dunk it, I was blocked by Charity's cape. I moved away, then was blocked by Kayla. Trey tried to interfere, when Kayla snatched the ball out of my grip, and ran off. Ben tried to block her, but he was interfered with as Ali zoomed past him. Kayla then made a dunk.

Pierce: "5 to 4!"

Charity: "Good job, Kay!" Kayla high fived with her.

Kyle: "Sorry."

Trey: "It's just two points. We're still ahead."

Ben: "My fault." I patted him on the back.

Trey: "Now what?"

Kyle: "We play. Hard. Ali didn't say I couldn't use my jutsu."

Trey: "I see what you're getting at." Pierce got the ball out again when Trey resummoned some rock to block the girls. I made some handsigns to summon two Shadow Clones. Both they and I ran around the rocks, and I grabbed the ball, then we each ran for the net, and dunked it. The girls were distracted with my clones, and they went poof.

Charity: "HEY!"

Pierce: "7 to 4! Boys favor!"

Trey: "Not bad, Kyle's." My clones poofed, and I nodded to Trey.

Ben: "We got this in the bag!"

Kyle: "You know it, Benji."

Ben: "Quit it with the Benji crap!"

Ali: "I didn't say you could use jutsu!"

Kyle: "You never said I couldn't."

Kayla: "He's right." Charity nodded.

Ali: "Fine… No more clones."

Kyle: "Yeah, that was cheap, I admit." As the ball was reset, I grabbed it, and Ali jumped at me, as her quills faded, then a log was left behind.

Ali: "HEY!" I was zooming for the basket again. Charity and Kayla were already heading for me as Ben built up shields to my right, and Trey used rock pillars on my left. I jumped for the net, when Kayla blocked me, and we began playing tug of war for the ball.

Kayla: "NOT THIS TIME, BOYS!" Charity then made a hellspawn growl, making me freak and let go. Kayla zoomed for the other goal when Ben blocked her, making her stop, and Trey webbed it right out of her hands, then swung it towards Ben. He caught it, and began running for their goal, then tossed it when Ali got in his way. I got it, but was scared by Charity again, and she stretched her arm, dunking it in our goal.

Pierce: "7 to 7!" Trey nodded.

Trey: "Gotta admit, good tactics."

Kayla: "Wanna throw in the towels yet?"

Kyle: "We haven't even brung our A game!"

Ben: "We haven't?" Trey backhanded Ben on the back of the head.

Charity: "Don't worry girls. This game is ours."

Ben: "A game isn't over until the last ball is dunked!" Space Jam began playing in my head.

Trey: "They're gonna be onto us."

Kyle: "I know." Pierce retossed the ball, and then Trey webbed it immediately, zooming for their goal. I covered him by keeping Kayla off of his back. Ben and Ali ran in our direction, when Charity got in our way. Trey threw the ball to me, and before Charity could scare me, I moved out of her gaze, and leaped for the goal. Kayla jumped in ball form to block me. I dropped the ball, then Charity grabbed it, throwing it to Ali. Ali ran for our net, when Ben blocked her, but she punched through the field, and leaped for our net. I zoomed to get in her way, then she dunked it before I could block.

Pierce: "7 to 9! Girls' favor!" I grimaced.

Ali: "Better luck next time, honey." She blew a kiss. I couldn't help but smirk. She's too hot. Trey went up to me.

Trey: "You okay?"

Kyle: "Yeah. Just didn't get there in time."

Ben: "There's still time." We looked at each other. We got ready, then Pierce threw the ball. I got it again. When Kayla tried to block me, I substituted away, then made my way for the goal. Charity began to get in my way, with Ali next to her.

Kyle: "Huh?" Ali then absorbed some energy out of Charity. Her clothes changed to Bayonetta's style, then she ran for me.

Hellspawn Ali: "Kyle… I got you now!" I felt her reach for the ball. I tried to substitute out of it, but did not. She suddenly had the ball. I don't even know how it happened! I saw Trey block her with Igneo rocks, then Ben pulling the ball out of her hands. I regained control of my body, then zoomed away, and took the ball from Trey, who threw it to me, then I dunked it.

Pierce: "9 to 9!"

Trey: "What happened?"

Kyle: "She stopped my movement somehow."

Ben: "Attraction."

Kyle: "Huh?"

Ben: "Ali used your attraction for her to stop you. Some kind of demon power."

Kyle: "That little… actually, that was clever."

Trey: "Too clever." My Ultimatrix beeped at me. I looked down at it.

Kyle: "Huh?"

Ultimatrix: "New DNA acquired. It showed me a hologram of Bayonetta.

Kyle: "Shit." Ben's watch beeped, showing the same hologram.

Trey: "Wow."

Hellspawn Ali: "Almost had him!"

Charity: "Yeah. Totally."

Kayla: "You nearly had him. Like… really!"

Hellspawn Ali: "Maybe next time."

Kyle: "Well… now's not the time to use Baynoetta here. Maybe in my next fight."

Ben: "Agreed." Pierce threw the ball again. I roared, jumping at it as Ali moved in. Ben blocked her, making her run into the force field. Charity made her way for Ben as I grabbed the ball. Kayla tried to block me as I made a substitute, and I rushed for their goal again. Trey blocked Charity, and Ali ran back for me as everyone headed my direction. I rolled into a ball, then jumped. I hopped into the net when Kayla missed.

Pierce: "Oh. 13 to 9!" Charity and Ali were getting mad.

Kayla: "How'd I miss?"

Hellspawn Ali: "Wait. 13?!"

Pierce: "He dunked the ball, and himself while he was a ball."

Charity: "How is that fair?!"

Pierce: "It isn't going back now."

Trey: "Good to know that's a rule."

Ben: "Yeah."

Hellspawn Ali: "Like that helps you, Tennyson!"

Kayla: "Hmm… HUDDLE!" We saw the girls all huddled together.

Trey: "Nice moves, Kyle."

Kyle: "I just… ran."

Ben: "And it worked."

Kyle: 'What do you think their new plan is? Obviously, they can't use attraction."

Trey: "They still could." The girls got out, then got ready for the ball. Pierce threw it, and Kayla hopped at it as Charity and Ali tried to shield her. I rolled into a ball again, then hopped up, as Ben used his shield to block Charity's cloak, and Ali's reached for me, which Trey made Diamondhead hands to block with a shield. Kayla got to the ball, but I hopped off of Trey's head, then headed for Kayla as a ball. Both Kayla and I were balls rolling for the net. We began running in circles as Ben made another shield. Kayla rolled around it, and I grabbed the side of the shield, launching myself for her, and blocked her dunk. I then got the ball, only to get blocked by Ali's new cloak, which slid the ball to Kayla, who double-dunked like I had.

Pierce: "13 to 13!"

Kyle: "Um…"

Trey: "It's okay! It's just tied again!" Ali's Hellspawn power wore off at that point.

Kyle: "Fucking…"

Ali: "You tried your hardest, Kyle. That's all that matters. But this is for bragging rights."

Kyle: "Right…" As we got back together for the next ball toss, Ben got platforms under the girls, and launched them upwards.

Ben: "GO!" Trey and I leapt for the ball. I caught it, and Trey began using diamond pillars to block me now. I did another double-dunk maneuver.

Pierce: "17 to 13! If the boys get one more double dunk, it's over!"

Trey: "Huddle!" We huddled up now.

Trey: "Good job, Tennyson. Launching them up really stopped them."

Ben: "Yeah, but I think they'll prepare for our next one."

Kyle: "Ben's right."

Trey: "Yeah. We need another strategy, then. Okay. I'll use the Punk Busters, and Kyle blocks Kayla. Ben, shields up."

Ben: "I can manage, but my shields are getting weaker. I haven't used them this much before."

Kyle: "Try to worry more about conserving energy then."

Trey: "But Ali and Charity will be on him so fast that-"

Kyle: "Treez, you got this." We got back up.

Charity: "We're not letting you bullshit us like that again!" Trey turned his hands into Humongousaur hands.

Trey: "EAT CLAP!" He made a thunderclap, forcing them back as Ben put the shields up. I hopped for the ball, but saw Kayla come for me as well.

Kayla: "NO WAY!"

Kyle: "Yes way!" I saw Kayla vanish on me.

Kyle: "Huh?!" She then reappeared, grabbing the ball.

Kayla: "Chaos Control, bro." She chucked it for the net, and it made it. I was shocked.

Pierce: "17 to 16! Half court shot!"

Ali: "Why didn't you double dunk?"

Kayla: "I wanted to Chaos Control to it."

Charity: "Wait, that's our ticket to win, then!"

Ben: "Oh man!"

Trey: "Defense, Ben! Defense!"

Ben: "Easier said than done, Treezy!" Pierce threw the ball again. Kayla immediately vanished, and I ran towards the net. Ben built up a blockade, and Ali and Charity ran for him. Trey made another thunderclap to trip up the other girls as Kayla reappeared, holding the ball. She tackled through one of Ben's shields, and I tackled her back, making her throw the ball backwards. Ben grabbed the ball with his power, and chucked it to Trey, who caught it, and made his legs Godspeed legs to dunk it.

Pierce: "19 to 16!" I saw Ali transform to her Firecracker self.

Firecracker Ali: "Time for a big shot dunk."

Charity: "You really think you got this?"

Firecracker Ali: "Oh yeah."

Charity: "Good." Kayla grinned.

Trey: "I made a good dunk, but I coulda made it a three-pointer… Wasn't thinking."

Kyle: "Well, that just ups the tension. Something I can appreciate, good buddy."

Ben: "I need to take a breather…" He chugged a Gatorade.

Trey: "They still need a double dunk, and we just need one more shot."

Kyle: "Can we call for a free throw?"

Trey: "Yep." He nodded. We then went for the free throw. Trey threw it, but Charity caught it with her cape, then chucked it backwards. I zoomed for it, and caught it before it made it in. Ali was leaping at me, and she hit the ground near me, tripping it up as she grabbed it again. She dunked it.

Pierce: "19 to 18!"

Firecracker Ali: "Oops."

Kyle: "That… is… SO… cheating…"

Firecracker Ali: "Not for much longer."

Trey: "It is literally down to the wire!"

Ben: "We need to make sure we get the next goal, no matter what it is!"

Kyle: "Let me go for it."

Trey: "Ky-"

Kyle: "I can do it."

Ben: "If you're certain."

Kyle: "I am. Just cover me."

Trey: "Okay." We nodded.

Pierce: "Final toss!" He tossed it, and Ali slammed the ground as Charity went up and Kayla vanished. I was already leaping as Kayla rematerialized at the ball. Ben threw a force field up, blocking the ball as I got it, and leaped off of Ben's force field, heading for their goal. Charity stretched her cape towards me, but I rolled into a ball at the last minute to dodge the grab. Trey slammed the ground, making a flat diamond pillar for me to bounce off of, and I headed for the net. Kayla got in front of me, but I spun in the air as she tried to grab me, but she grabbed a log. I was already running on the ground. Trey grinned to me. Ben was already following me. Ali ran for me as well, then used some gunshots to catch up. As she slammed the ground, I leaped, and dunked the ball in.

Pierce: "21 to 18! Boys win!"

Firecracker Ali: "HOW?!" She exploded with fire, and red eyes.

Kayla: "Well, in the end, it's just a game."

Ben: "Glad… you… feel that way. Can we get dinner now? I'm starved."

Kyle: "Me too." I saw Charity and Trey hugging each other.

Kyle: "Aw."

Firecracker Ali: "Hm?" She looked at them, then her power wore off again.

Ali: "That is pretty cute."

Ben: "I'll say."

Charity: "Yeah, we can go to dinner. AFTER we all shower and dress up for it."

Kayla: "Fan-CY! Alright. I'm game!"

Back with the clones…

Kyle Clone's POV…

Oh… God… The torturing was finally over.

Kyle: "Oh man…"

Ben: "At least everyone got to get some for it."

Kevin: "Shut… up."

Gwen: "And we covered for you."

Kevin: "My bad."

Bella: "I hope you all learned your lessons about skipping training! Senseis don't like that." She made her creepy Yamato face at the end. We gulped.

Kyle: "It'll never happen again!"

Ben: "We swear to the Gods!"

Gwen: "Ow…"

Kevin: "I can't feel my arms."

Bella: "Now, I need to find the real Kyle and Ben, along with Ali, because they need to feel this, too!" Suddenly, a portal opened up. Professor Paradox showed up, with Azmuth.

Bella: "Professor Paradox? Azmuth?"

Azmuth: "Hello, Toonshifter. We have much to discuss-" He stopped when he saw us chained up.

Azmuth: "Do I even want to ask?"

Paradox: "That is a rather awkward situation, Ms. Hyna. If you would be a dear and-" Bella summoned a Star Seeker Keyblade, using it to free us.

Bella: "Taken care of."

Kyle: "Azmuth. What's wrong?"

Azmuth: "Well, the HighBreed attacked Galvan." My eyes widened.

Kyle: "With an Armada of-"

Azmuth: "Yes. Thankfully, I evacuated the planet before we sustained casualties, but this is the least of our problems."

Paradox: "The HighBreed are ready to attack."

Bella: "I knew that would be soon."

Kevin: "Okay. There is NO way that they should have the ability to send that large a fleet here. We destroyed their teleporter at Los Soledad!"

Gwen: "Cooper made sure of that!"

Azmuth: "They had help. Someone from a… Diamond Authority?" Bella's eyes widened.

Bella: "NO! How did they- They were supposed to be-"

Ben: "Let me guess? One of your personal enemies that's been after Kyle?"

Bella: "Yes." Bella informed me of the assassins she's shad to stop over the last 5 years, who all had tried to lay their hands on me, but couldn't after she stopped them.

Paradox: "The Diamond Authority is the highest authority in the Homeworld of Gems. They direct everything. A Gem's functions, lifestyle, and even when to discontinue a type of Gem."

Kyle: "Sounds like some right nasty bitches."

Bella: "Not to mention, when I used to have a Ruby form… they wanted me dead for betrayal."

Gwen: "Betrayal?"

Paradox: "A story for another time. We must make haste. The Diamond Authority will not be a direct issue in this confrontation, but they have sent an assassin to the real Kyle's location, which I understand is the dimension of Trey Sergauson. A truly bad time to be on his date, unfortunately."

Kevin: "As you always say, Prof. Timing is everything."

Paradox: "Indeed. The Kyle and Ben clones need to come with me. Bella, go and retrieve Kyle, Ben, and Ali. I will come back for Kevin and Gwen shortly to round up our retaliation force."

Azmuth: "I will be joining Kyle and Ben. You all have your jobs."

Bella: "Right." She aimed her Star Seeker at the air, summoning a portal.

Bella: "These should be the right coordinates."

Paradox: "And Ms. Hyna, do not get distracted. We need everyone." Bella nodded, hopping through the portal.

Paradox: "Kyle? Ben?"

Ben: "Right."

Azmuth: "We have little time."

Kyle: "As if we had a choice." Paradox opened his own portal. Once we got to the other side, we saw a dimension I was familiar with.

Kyle: "Wait. I know this place."

Ben: "You do?"

Paradox: "You should, Kyle. This is where-"

Kyle: "Omni and Tonto are." I finished for him.

Paradox: "Well, that is a first. Good, then. I'll go back for Gwen and Kevin."

Ben: "We'll keep an eye out for Tonto and Omni." I pulled out my walkie talkie, and listened for them.

Kyle: "Kyle to Omni! Kyle to Omni! Do you read?" I got nothing but static, then an explosion. All of a sudden, I heard a voice.

Voice: "Ky! Ky?! Is that you?!"

Kyle: "It sure is, Tonto! Where's Omni?!"

Tonto: "We're kind of in the middle of saving the city right now! If you want to come by and help, it would be pretty swell!"

Permafrost Omni: "Tonto, I swear, if it's your future self again… Wait. Kyle?"

Kyle: "It sure is.

Permafrost Omni: "Our old enemy, Acropolis is on the move again! We've been trying to keep him under control, but he's a lot more… tenacious… than usual. Maybe two more Ultimatrixes would even the odds."

Kyle: "Agreed. Corral him, and I'll be there shortly." I hung up, growing my quills.

Paradox: "I wouldn't advise that. Omni and Tonto keep their identities secret."

Ben: "Ha."

Kyle: "Fine." I turned my watch on, and transformed to Razor Edge, another Arsenal form. He was red, with black on his chest, white lines on his upper arms, and he had large blades instead of hands.

Razor Edge: "Hopefully we can get there fast enough. Acropolis can't be too bad, right?" Ben turned into XLR8.

XLR8 Ben: "Dude… I just hope he's intact when we get there." He closed his visor as we ran for him.

Paradox: "Good luck!"

Azmuth "WAAAA!"

Razor Edge: "Sorry, Azmuth!"

Azmuth: "I haven't moved like this in years!" Once we stopped, we saw what looked like a Spartan warrior with a red cape, a bronze helmet, and Golden shoulder pads. He had gauntlets on his hands, and was using a sword. I saw a ring on one of his hands, as well as a medallion across his chest.

Knight: "I tire of you whelps and your magical watches!" He kicked Omni into a wall, and Tonto had just transformed into GIR.

GIR Tonto: "EAT TAQUITOS!" He sprouted a gun from his head, and began blasting at the knight, who walked through the blasts.

GIR Tonto: "When's Kyle gonna get here…?" He raised his sword, when I zoomed in, and blocked his sword with both of my blades. Azmuth hopped down, hobbling away.

GIR Tonto: "Ky?"

Razor Edge: "No doubt, dude!"

Knight: "Another one of you?!" He tried to slash at me again, but a giant fist knocked him back, forcing him to flip to his feet again.

Bloxx Ben: "Nice try, bro. By the way, Enoch wants his look back!"

Razor Edge: "Ben, this guy is more Greek. Enoch is medieval."

Permafrost Omni: "Kyle. About time you got here. Tonto and I had it under control, but it's not like I don't like extra help."

Knight: "There are four of you?! How is that possible?"

Razor Edge: "Let's just say I came from a faraway land, much like you."

Bloxx Ben: "Me, too." Omni and Tonto got to our sides.

Knight: "Lord Acropolis will not accept defeat at the hands of you!" He sliced his sword, and flew at us. I transformed into Fullmetal, and grabbed his sword.

Fullmetal: "Bro… I am all for the knight thing. In fact, I have a knight form of my own!" I kicked him back, then slammed my hand into the ground. A black shadow extension knocked him in the side of his helmet. He growled again, rushing for me, when he was blasted by ice from Omni, who turned into Diamondhead, and built a diamond prison around him. Acropolis busted out, rushing for us again. Tonto turned into Cannonbolt, and bowled into him, knocking him back. Ben turned his hands into guns and began shooting Legos at Acropolis, but he slashed each block apart, and he flew at Ben, knocking him back with a sword slash. He then blasted Ben for good measure as I got him with another shadow extension, then pulled him towards me, slamming him back into the ground.

Fullmetal: "Bro… Really now?"

Acropolis: "DIE!" He kicked me off of him, and I had to flip to safety.

Cannonbolt Tonto: "This guy's never easy…"

Diamondhead Omni: "The collateral damage alone is hard enough to not get blamed for."

Bloxx Ben: "What other ideas do we have?"

Fullmetal: "For now, prevent him from killing people."

Diamondhead Omni: "Still stating the obvious, huh, Tennyson?" I chuckled.

Fullmetal: "Seems like it."

Acropolis: "HOW DARE YOU BANTER AROUND ME WHEN A FIGHT IS OCCURRING! HAVE AT THEE!" He shot blasts at all of us, but Ben went Feedback and absorbed them, shooting them back at Acropolis, who slashed the attack in half.

Feedback Ben: "And this guy is nowhere near easy! Go figure."

Fullmetal: "Makes me wonder how the original me is doing."

Back in Trey's dimension…

Kyle's POV…

Trey, Ben, and I were getting all dressed up for dinner. Once we did, we got out of our changing rooms. Trey was wearing a purple dress suit for the night, Ben had a tux on with a green tie, and I was pulling at the tie on my suit to loosen it. It was red, but my suit was a dark blue.

Kyle: "I hate ties…"

Ben: "I thought you were all for it at the wedding."

Kyle: "Ali and I never go places where I'm forced to wear a suit and tie to look decent. Mostly for budgetary concerns, but-"

Trey: "My guy, I got this covered."

Kyle: "I hope so, Trey." That was when the girls left. Kayla left first, in a one-shoulder, extremely sparkly scarlet red long dress. She winked to Ben, while showing him a leg.

Ben: "Oh. Man." He grinned widely.

Kayla: "Come over here, Benji." It took very little to coax him over. Charity was in a more casual purple dress, but it was still good enough for a night on the town.

Charity: "Babes." Trey took her arm. Charity giggled. I hadn't seen Ali leave yet.

Kayla: "Ali?"

Ali: "Do I have to?"

Kayla: "Ali, I know you don't like fancy dresswear, but this is a fancy schmancy pants restaurant. Please?"

Ali: "Kayla…"

Kyle: "Honey?" She heard me.

Ali: "Yes?"

Kyle: "Do you want me to come in?"

Ali: "Yes." I rolled my eyes.

Kyle: "Give us a second, guys." I walked in, looking for her.

Kyle: "Ali?"

Ali: "Over here." I followed her voice. When I found her, my eyes widened. She had a top on that was a deep v-cut on both her front and back, which also had a big flowing gown section. There was a white sash in the middle to kind of round it up. I didn't know why she felt uncomfortable.

Kyle: "This is awesome! Why are you-" She covered my mouth.

Ali: "Kyle, it isn't the dress. I was using it as an excuse. For something private."

Kyle: "Ali. Not in the dressing room. Plus, it's Trey's ship. Kind of."

Ali: "No, dumbass."

Kyle: "Hey!"

Ali: "Just listen. I wanted to ask again about that cure you and Kayla are working on. I didn't want to bring it up with Trey and Charity around. They've kind of been on our backs the whole day. I wanted alone time to ask."

Kyle: "We could've gone to the bathroom any old time."

Ali: "And have them think we're doing the nasty in their shower?"

Kyle: "Shit."

Ali; "Exactly. So, is it working?"

Kyle: "Now that Azmuth's involved, we're pretty much good. We just need to verify that it won't interfere with our immune system. We may be Ultimate Life Forms, but even we have weaknesses."

Ali: "Good. I'm ready, then, honey." She hugged me while pulling me in. We kissed, then left the room.

Kyle: "She's good."

Trey: "Wow." I looked at him. He coughed.

Trey: "Well, let's go." As we left, we were walking the town and seeing the nightlife. We could actually do this now since, Kayla, Ali and I were 18, and could technically be considered chaperones to the other three. When we made it, we saw the place.

Charity: "Chef DeFrance? They have one here?"

Kyle: "Been here before?"

Trey: "In a different place, yes. If I remember correctly, though, you loved it here, Chare."

Charity: "Yeah, before those bounty hunters attacked us."

Ali: "Bounty hunters?"

Ben: "Come on, Ali. Like a bounty hunter would attack the same restaurant twice."

Trey: "That's what we're aiming for. Besides, Logan, Ben, and Gwen are on patrol, and they're really good at their jobs. Now, if I made those reservations correctly…" We walked in as he talked. Yep. Swanky atmosphere, in-house band, other fancily dressed people, the works.

Kayla: "Oh. My. God." Trey walked up to the host.

Trey: "Sergauson. Party of 6." The man looked up, then his eyes widened.

Host: "Mr. Sergauson! We've been expecting you! Please, sit." We followed him to a round table with six chairs already set up. There was a bouquet of roses on the table.

Charity: "Roses?"

Trey: "Um… isn't there supposed to be some purple tulips in there?"

Host: "Oh my! I'll get right on that."

Ben: "It's fine."

Kayla: "Like we need flowers to really get going, Ben." She patted him on the head.

Ben: "Kay…"

Kyle: "Let's get to ordering already." Once we all sat down, things started to get good. We were all drinking sparkling juice, and all had some good dishes in front of us. I stayed simple and got a chicken a la 'range… (Orange Chicken?), Ali got some kind of pasta mix with sauce, Ben got chicken alfredo, Kayla was feeling adventurous and got snails, Trey had the 'Arsenal special', which looked like a t-bone steak to me, and Charity got a huge salad bowl. Trey was just telling us about a recent crime spree he stopped.

Trey: "And that was when Fisttrick was all like, 'Bro! Don't ruin my righteous suit again!' and I said, 'So, you still have the insurance on it?', and he blasted me. Logan shot him with some eye beams, and Charity slammed him with a mace. He shot missiles out of his suit, and then tried to grab Charity. She flew away, then I used Bio-Rex and blasted the shit out of him. The suit fell apart."

Kyle: "Glad you're finding uses for my forms, too, bro."

Trey: "Anything cool happen with you, Kyle?"

Kyle: "I went to the Null Void to help some of my friends there. I ran into my real Dad that day."

Trey: "At least you met yours." He looked down. Charity put her hand on his shoulder.

Kyle: "I'm sorry. Maybe I should move on."

Trey: "Nah, keep going."

Kyle: "You sure?"

Trey: "You were going to help your friends?"

Kyle: "Yeah. After I met them, they took me across the Null Void, showing me what Dr. Animo did to everything. After that, I met the villagers, told them I sent Animo to the Null Void earlier, not knowing they lived there. Then I had to punch one of them, and that was when I found out I had Chaos abilities. Well, before my sensei sealed them off…"

Ben: "That was kind of stupid."

Trey: "But it helped you discover you could use Chakra. That's kinda cool."

Kyle; "Yeah. I met the Pierce of my universe after that. I went easy on him so he could show me who The Wrench was, who turned out to be my version of Max. I missed him so much. Shortly after I caught up with him, I met my Dad. Shadow the Hedgehog." Trey and Charity's eyes widened.

Charity: "He's real in your dimension?"

Kyle: "Yeah. My origin's really convoluted… regardless, I met him for the first time, and we fought Animo together, and had our first father-son day out, which was defeating a bad guy. I found out Maria is my mom. Rouge is my acting Mom now, and Omega is my uncle."

Trey: "What was Animo doing?"

Kyle: "He was using a substance called Kormite to power himself up. The closer he was to his machine, the more powerful he got. I threw a lot of my Ultimate forms and even a few Giga forms at him. He stood up to all of them. Bella was there, too, but I didn't know it was her at the time. I used Ultimate Black Streak to stop the machine, as well as Giga Arcticguana. It was frozen up, and unusable, so Animo couldn't use it again. He was also arrested. Point is, I met my Dad, and it felt so cool to finally meet him."

Ali: "I'm so happy for him."

Kayla: "Me too! Only because he's my Dad, too. I haven't met him myself yet."

Trey: "I'm happy you finally met him."

Ben: "Wish I met him too."

Charity: "I'm still kind of stunned."

Kyle: "Not surprised. I still kind of am." Of course, I still haven't seen him yet.

Trey: "What is he doing now?"

Kyle: "He's with Max, keeping peace in the Null Void."

Ben: "Doesn't that get boring?"

Kyle: "Don't know. He never wrote." I looked around, taking another bite of my chicken.

Kyle: "I miss him." We all began eating.

Ben: "They make a good chicken alfredo!"

Trey: "They sure do." He smiled. I began gnawing through my chicken at super speed.

Ali: "Kyle! Breathe!" I slowed down. I began to feel I offended Trey just now.

Trey: "Bro?"

Kyle: "Well… I didn't mean to make you feel bad and-"

Trey: "Dude, it's fine. Your Dad is an amazing guy. If the video games say anything."

Kyle: "They do." I smiled, when all of a sudden, Ali tapped my shoulder.

Kyle: "Ali?"

Ali: "I just felt an unusual source of energy." What could she have felt? Then… I felt it.

Kyle: "Gem." I saw Charity look suspicious as well. Can she sense these things?

Kayla: "Uh, guys…"

Ben: "What is it, Kay?"

Trey: "Kayla?"

Kayla: "I felt something weird just now."

Charity: "Me, too."

Ben: "That can't be good."

Ali: "Kyle knows what it is."

Kyle: "EVERYONE MOVE!" We all scrambled when the ceiling exploded. Every other patron ran out of the building and was screaming. The perpetrator was a red skinned woman with long red hair. She was dressed like Peridot or Jasper from Steven Universe with a yellow diamond insignia. She had two blades with a rifle slung across her back, wore ammo straps, and had gauntlets on. Her hands had two big Hulk-size hands turned on despite her skinny frame. I looked, seeing a Chalcedony gemstone on her right shoulder, which glistened in the light, and she looked angry to see us.

Kyle: "A Chalcedony Gem?!"

Ben: "Oh man…"

Chalcedony Warrior: "Thought you could escape by going to another dimension, Kyle Tennyson? Bella isn't here to protect you. This is going to be your biggest mistake ever, Mobian Halfling." She grinned once she saw Ben and I.

Chalcedony Warrior: "And Ben Tennyson, if you wish not to be harmed, you'll stay back, and let me do the job I was hired to do."

Ben: "Um… you do know who you're talking to, right?" Before the Chalcedony could answer, she got clobbered by a giant black fist. I saw Charity was already morphed.

Charity: "AGAIN?! I GET ATTACKED ON A DATE HERE, AGAIN?! YOU ARE DEAD, BITCH!" The Chalcedony got up.

Chalcedony Warrior: "Oh right. You're associates with the Doppelganger and the Hellspawn from Dimension T99. This'll definitely be interesting." She grinned.

Trey: "I don't know why you're after my pal, Crimson Bitch, but if you want to throw hands…" He transformed into Chromastone.

Chromastone Trey: "I'll be more than happy to back him up!"

Ben: "Thanks, Trey." Kayla helped him up as Ali helped me up.

Ali: "You okay, hon?"

Kyle: "Yeah. That was still kinda unexpected, though."

Chalcedony Warrior: "You sensed me coming? Guess I shouldn't be too surprised." She got up, cracking her neck.

Chalcedony Warrior: "And don't bother using your Mobian pheromone ability. That won't work."

Kyle: "Mobian pheromones?"

Ben: "Oh! THAT'S how you attract women."

Kyle: "Shut up, Ben!" I transformed to Starfire.

Starfire: "You can be sure I'll bubble you away when we are done, assassin!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "Tamaranian? Interesting choice." The gauntlets sprouted gun barrels, and she began shooting at us. Ali got in the way, and absorbed the metal on my armbands, deflecting away the lasers.

Ali: "You were saying?"

Chalcedony Warrior: "The Osmosian female. You wouldn't be far behind, of course." She ran for her, shrinking her gauntlets to hand size, and drawing a sword from her back. Ali shapeshifted her hands into swords to block her attack, as the Chalcedony got punched by Ben, who was Splashdown at the time.

Splashdown Ben: "I got your back, Ali." Kayla transformed into Sandbox, and tried to trap the Chalcedony in a sand trap, when the Chalcedony summoned water from out of nowhere, freeing herself. We saw her blade was transformed into a water form.

Chalcedony Warrior: "A Sandanian is very vulnerable to water, clone of Tennyson. Now watch!" She sent water at Kayla. Ben got in the way to absorb it as I flew for the Chalcedony again. She blocked me by enlarging both her fists and sheathing her sword in one quick motion. I even fired up my eye beams to blast her in the face, but she headbutted me and kicked me into the wall. Charity came at her with a mace arm, but the arm was cut via a glowing fire blade.

Charity: "GAH!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "Phoenix Blade. I prepared for every one of Kyle's possible associates, as well as his forms. I remember you had a specific weakness to the fires of the Phoenix Force."

Charity: "Damn it." Trey shot a laser at her as she turned her fire blade into a diamond blade, and charged for Trey. Trey kept firing his laser at it, but the blade kept absorbing the laser.

Chalcedony Warrior: "The Crystalsapien is nothing!"

Chromastone Trey: "Shit." He transformed into Web Head, and webbed her up, then tried to toss her. What happened instead was that the Chalcedony sprouted blades out of her ammo strap and cut her way out. She then shot sonic waves out of her gauntlets, making Trey scream.

Web Head Trey: "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "Symbiotes are very vulnerable to sound, Doppelganger! I thought you knew that!" Ben turned into Cannonbolt, and bowled the Chalcedony into the streets. He tried to slam on top of her again, but she punched Ben into the wall using her Hulk hands.

Chalcedony Warrior: "You just had to get in my way, didn't you, whelp?" I flew back out, and then transformed to Humongousaur, pushing her through the road.

Humongousaur: "YOU ARE SO GOING DOWN! I DON'T NEED BELLA TO KICK YOUR ASS!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "It is because of her you are still alive!" She judo flipped me over her. As she got on top of me, I transformed into Buzzshock, then sent a shock at her. She trembled for a moment, only for her gauntlets to absorb the shock.

Buzzshock: "Oh, come on!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "Like I said. I prepared for everything. My Diamond wants you dead, and I will happily oblige!"

Web Head Trey: "Not today, redheaded stepchild!" I saw him become Ultimate Big Chill, then breathe ice flames at her. She got frozen into a statue.

Buzzshock: "Thanks for the save!"

Ultimate Big Chill Trey: "Don't worry about it, homie." We fist bumped, when the ice exploded.

Buzzshock: "I knew the fight wasn't done yet."

Ultimate Big Chill Trey: "Well… shit."

Chalcedony Warrior: "Evolved Necrofriggian. Nice try." She shot bolos at us from the gun barrels on her gauntlets. We dodged as Ali began shooting electric bullets at her. Charity was shooting necroplasm blasts as well, forcing her back. Kayla came from behind as XLR8, and kicked the Chalcedony in the face, and then she became Frankenstrike, and charged electricity into her. But that electricity was reabsorbed, and the Chalcedony struck Kayla, making her stumble back.

Cannonbolt Ben: "KAYLA!" He transformed into Whampire, and flew into the Chalcedony, slamming her into the ground. All of a sudden, a visor shaped like a scouter appeared over the Chalcedony's left eye, and she blasted a light into Ben's face.

Whampire Ben: "THE LIGHT! GAAAH!" He backed off.

Chalcedony Warrior: "The sun. A Vladat's true weakness. Like I said. I came prepared." I transformed into Ultimate XLR8.

Ultimate XLR8: "Trey. I got an idea."

Ultimate Big Chill Trey: "I'm all ears, dude." I whispered to him. He nodded, transforming into Drillbit. He dug underground. I zoomed at the Chalcedony. She saw me coming, then punched the ground. I stumbled a bit, then fell onto my belly, when Trey popped up from behind her, and made a swipe with his claws, but he was blocked.

Drillbit Trey: "WHAT?!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "PITIFUL HEROES!" She grabbed Trey, and slammed him on his back as I shot my spikes at her. She dodged them, and Ben shot one of his Corrpturas at her head. It latched on.

Whampire Ben: "Now you have to listen to my every command!" The Chalcedony grabbed the Corruptura, and threw it onto the ground.

Chalcedony Warrior: "That doesn't work on Gems, foolhearty hero." She grinned, then went for me again. I transformed into Armodrillo, and rushed at her. We punched each other's fists, and then we began pushing at each other.

Armodrillo: "You can't win, Chalcedony bitch!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "That insult is becoming rather old, Halfling. Maybe you should consult the book!" She picked me up, and slammed me on my back. I saw Trey transform into Biohazard, then ram her with his Sly Ride.

Biohazard Trey: "Quips are my thing! Don't make one up on the fly like that!"

Charity: "I don't think she cares, babe!" She flew up to Trey, and punched the Chalcedony as Trey made his Smack Hands to punch her further into the ground. The Chalcedony caught Trey's punch.

Chalcedony Warrior: "You shouldn't get that close to me in the Nanitian form."

Biohazard Trey: "Why not?!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "This." Some wires popped out of her gauntlets, and she discharged energy into Trey's body.

Biohazard Trey: "AAAGGHH!" I got up, gasping.

Armodrillo: "TREY!" I slapped my symbol, making it grow spikes. I changed my color from yellow to red. I got Team Gurren logos on my shoulders, sunglasses on my chest, and a black jetpack on my back. My legs became larger, my arms became a little slimmer, and my bulk also thinned out a bit. My wings grew large, and some sky blue lines went over my chest, going into my symbol.

Armodrillo: "ULTIMATE ARMODRILLO! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, CHALCEDONY MOTHERFUCKER?!" I flew at her, and got her off of Trey with one punch. I then fired drill missiles at her. She had to put up a shield to absorb it all.

Chalcedony Warrior: "An evolved Talapaedan?! HERE?!" She then noticed my evolution symbol.

Chalcedony Warrior: "Halfling."

Ultimate Armodrillo: "Leave me and my friends alone, thunder thighs! The true spirit of a man is to use his power to save his friends from any trouble! That's how I roll!"

Whampire Ben: "That's… new."

Frankenstrike Kayla: "Yeah."

Ali: "Oh boy…" I took the sunglasses of my chest, and used it as a blade to charge for the Chalcedony. She blocked me with both of her own blades.

Chalcedony Warrior: "Now you're throwing speeches at me?!"

Ultimate Armodrillo: "That's not even the half of it!" I kicked her in the face. She fired more lasers at me, but I knocked them away with my sunglasses sword. I then grew drills out of my hands to run her through, but she used her Hulk hands to catch my attack.

Chalcedony Warrior: "YOU ARE NOTHING!"

Ultimate Armodrillo: "Shows how much you know, Crimson Bitch." I suplexed her behind me, then punched her into a building. I then flew to Trey.

Biohazard Trey: "Thanks, man."

Charity: "Can you help him?"

Ultimate Armodrillo: "I think so." I turned into Upgrade, and combined with Trey.

Upgrade: "If I can fix your systems, you should be back to full capacity." The Chalcedony got up, and saw me fixing Trey.

Chalcedony Warrior: "Oh no you- OW!" Ali just jumped into her, and then kicked her backwards.

Ali: "You're going to have to go through me!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "I will be happy to oblige, fool!" She slashed at Ali, then found herself trapped to the floor. She saw Kayla as Diamondhead.

Diamondhead Kayla: "Looks who's trapped!" Ben came back as Rayquaza, and he fired a Hyper Beam at the Chalcedony, who put her shield up again, but Ben kept up the pressure.

Ali: "Good… we just need to hold her down." Charity stayed with Trey and I, and then his eyes beeped bright red again.

Biohazard Trey: "Thanks bro. But how about we stay combined a bit longer?"

Upgrade: "Really?"

Biohazard Trey: "Oh yeah." He grinned. He then went Ultimate Biohazard, and flew for the Chalcedony warrior.

Upgrade: "What's the plan?"

Ultimate Biohazard Trey: "I build stuff. You make it better. We fight the fight, and win."

Upgrade: "I can go for that." Trey made some Smack Hands again, and I made them spiky.

Ultimate Biohazard Trey: "Yep. Exactly like that, Tennyson." He fired them at the Chalcedony, who had no time to react. She was punched out of the diamond, and I regenerated his hands for him. He zoomed with increased speed, got a Sly Ride, then rammed into her again.

Chalcedony Warrior: "The Halfling AND the Doppelganger?!"

Upgrade: "You bet your ass!" Trey punched her into the air, and then flew above her, making a BFS, and then I made it even bigger. He then hit her into the ground, and boosted himself down as I turned his legs into spiky Punk Buster feet. The Chalcedony tried to use her shield again, but we busted it apart, stepping on her. She yelled in agony, then we kicked her into a clothing store.

Ultimate Biohazard Trey: "She needed a new outfit anyway." I chuckled, and I sprouted a hand out of him to high five him.

Upgrade: "Exactly what I was thinking, homeslice." The Chalcedony came out, guns blazing as Trey put up an energy shield. I absorbed the shots, channeling them into his new build, the Slam Cannon, and he fired a giant energy ball at her, knocking her back through the clothing store, and into a video game store, blowing it up.

Ultimate Biohazard Trey: "NOO!"

Upgrade: "Maybe I should have turned on the Doom Discs…"

Ultimate Biohazard Trey: "Damn it! Now I have to wait even longer for NBA 2018!" I gulped. The Chalcedony didn't come out for a bit, and we were wondering why. I instinctively turned on the scanners, but found nothing.

Upgrade: "This isn't good. Is she on your scanners?"

Ultimate Biohazard Trey: "I'm just trying to sense her." Suddenly, we were ambushed as she punched us from behind.

Chalcedony Warrior: "Nice strategy by combining the Nanitian and the Mechomorph, but as you can plainly see, I am still alive!"

Upgrade: "How much does it take to poof you?!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "Much more than what you have done!" She punched us with a lightning Hulk hand again, and we both shook with the shock. Ben came up from behind, firing an ice beam as she fired a flamethrower at Ben, who dodged it. Ali came rushing in as her Hellspawn form, and began shooting necroplasm boosted with electricity at her. She got blasted back, and Trey and I were split back up.

Rayquaza Ben: "She's way too strong!"

Charity: "She takes everything we dish out, and she has a counter for all of it!"

Ultimate Biohazard Trey: "But she has trouble taking us on when we team up." Kayla just ran in as Pink Streak.

Pink Streak: "I'll distract her then." I transformed back into Ultimate Armodrillo.

Ultimate Armodrillo: "You guys get her ready. I got a manly finishing move to perform!" I flew up, and sprouted drills all over my body, powering up.

Hellspawn Ali: "You heard my man! GET HER!" Trey transformed into Godspeed, and zoomed into the Chalcedony. She reflexively blocked all of Trey's attacks.

Chalcedony Warrior: "The Citrakayah?! PLEASE!" She then punched him out of his run. Charity punched her, then Ali fired even more necroplasm. Both Ali and Charity kept her pinned down with the necroplam as she got up, and used her shield to knock both blasts away. She fired phoenix light at both of them. They dodged, and Ben landed on her as Fourarms.

Fourarms Ben: "I don't think so!" He began punching her as she used Hulk hands to knock her back. Trey hurled lightning at the Chalcedony, and Kayla summoned her Piko Piko Hammer, and tried to slam her on top of the head. The Chalcedony blocked Kayla's attack, then caught Trey's lightning, only to hurl it back.

Godspeed Trey: "Come on, Tennyson…" Ali transformed to her Firecracker self, and ran at her, trying to punch her. As the Chalcedony punched at her, both hits collided, making a small shockwave.

Chalcedony Warrior: "The Auralsapien? Please! They are way too close to human form!"

Firecracker Ali: "Not quite!" She kicked at the Chalcedony, but was judo flipped to the ground as the Chalcedony tried to end it.

Ultimate Armodrillo: "FINISHING MOVE!" I hurled two sunglass boomerangs at the Chalcedony, trapping her in midair.

Chalcedony Warrior: "WHAT IS GOING ON!?" I flew at her, yelling at the top of my lungs.

Ultimate Armodrillo: "GIGGAAAAA…." A huge drill began growing out of my right hand.

Ultimate Armodrillo: "DRRRRIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…." It became ten times my size, and blue fire began engulfing my body.

Chalcedony Warrior: "NOO!"

Ultimate Armodrillo: "BRRREEEEEAAAAKKKKKEEEERRRR!" I flew at her, rocketing at full speed, and hit her, causing an explosion. My sunglasses reattached to my chest as I turned back to normal, landing on the ground.

Kyle: "I always wanted to do that."

Fourarms Ben: "Really?" He crossed his arms, shaking his head.

Godspeed Trey: "That was really sweet, though. Wonder where Logan and Impact were?" Just as he said that, Logan sped in. Impact wasn't too far behind.

Logan: "Ben, there was a disturbance over here and I-" He saw us.

Kyle: "Sorry, Logey."

Logan: "It attacked you guys and we got here too late?!"

Younger Ben: "Oh man."

Gwen: "Told you we shouldn't have gotten that smoothie!"

Kyle: "It's fine guys. The city is safe."

Voice; "Or is it?!" We looked back, seeing the Chalcedony again.

Kyle: "But you exploded?!"

Chalcedony Warrior: "You think I haven't mastered the art of regeneration? YOU FOOLS!" She had a new outfit on, looking like Lapis Lazuli's outfit now.

Godspeed Trey: "And she had to have a Deadpool healing factor. GREAT!"

Younger Ben: "And healing factors always make a fight at least ten times as hard."

Chalcedony Warrior: "And my weapons were set to merge with my body in the next regeneration! YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!" She got her hands up, firing flamethrowers at all of us. I went Arcticguana, and breathed ice at it to cancel it out.

Arcticguana: "I don't think so!"

Younger Ben: "ERADICO!" He fired a magic beam at the Chalcedony, but she absorbed it, and fired more lasers at us. We all moved out of the way as I turned into Chalcedony myself, and pulled SMG's out of my Ultimatrix symbol and barette Gemstone. I let rounds loose on her as she blocked my fire.

Chalcedony Warrior: "You had to become one of me?! HALFLING! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF GEMS!" Logan zoomed at her, and kicked her in the face.

Logan: "Sorry, Deep Cut. You're going to have to do better than that." He used a sonic scream on her, and she screamed back at him, launching him into the wall.

Charity: "LOGAN!" She ran at her, and punched her. She flew into another building, but immediately flew back out and punched her in the face again. She shined a light into Charity's face.

Charity: "AGH!"

Deep Cut: "The Phoenix Force is still in me!" (A/N: Sure, let's stick with that from now on. I like that name.)

Godspeed Trey: "She's like another Apocalypse! What're we gonna do?!"

Chalcedony: "Ben! We need to fuse!" Ben turned into Emerald.

Emerald: "Time for Ammolite to be in her first fight, you mean?"

Chalcedony: "Oh yeah."

Firecracker Ali: "We'll buy you a bit more time." Logan began shooting at Deep Cut again. Trey zoomed at her, but she began blocking all of Trey's punches.

Godspeed Trey: "How can you catch up to-"

Deep Cut: "Like I said. ALL of my weapons are integrated into my new form!" She kicked him into a wall. Ali punched her, sending her flying, but she recovered, and flew at Ali, who intercepted the counterattack with no effort.

Firecracker Ali: "Please, Deep Cut. I can hold you off all day!" Impact flew in, and binded Deep Cut into the ground. He chanted another spell, and shot more manna at her. She forced her way out, and went after Younger Ben, who flew out of the way. Logan began firing arrows at her. She deflected one without even looking.

Logan: "SHIT!" He then began shooting lightning at her. She absorbed it, and flew for Logan, when Charity used her cape to block Deep Cut, then grab her and slam her into the ground. Ben and I were performing our Livin' La Vida Loca dance, then as he caught me, light enveloped both of us. We fused.

Ammolite's POV

I looked to Deep Cut, grinning widely.

Ammolite: "HEY, TINY GEM BITCH! It's just you and me!" Deep Cut looked at me, growling loudly.

Deep Cut: "YOU COMMIT DEEP SIN AGAINST OUR KIND, HALFLING! FUSION WITH A DIFFERENT GEM FROM YOUR OWN IS WRONG!"

Ammolite: "Not the way I see it. Anyway, you're dead." I summoned Kyle's SMG's, which were now bigger, and fired at her. She was blasted into the ground.

Godspeed Trey: "HOLY FUCK! KYLE AND BEN FUSED!"

Firecracker Ali: "Yeah." She powered down.

Ali: "They can do that." I tried to step on her, but she caught my foot. I began trying to force it down, but she toppled me.

Younger Ben: "She can't do it on her own!"

Pink Streak: "Come on, guys!" She turned into Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff: "I wanted Cannonbolt! Seriously, Omnitrix?!" She sighed, and just rolled at Deep Cut, knocking her to the side long enough for me to punch her all the way across the city. I looked over, and fired more rounds at her. She flew back, kicking the bullets to the side. I saw Ali firing electric bullets, and Logan using eye beams to try and hit her. She dodged around them, and got to my face. I grabbed her, and she pushed against my grip.

Ammolite: "Face it, Deep Cut. You're toast."

Deep Cut: "STOP CALLING ME THAT! I AM A CHALCEDONY!" She erupted a big burst of light, actually making me let go of her. I grimaced, and tried to thunderclap her, but she blocked both of my hands. I then got her leg with another arm, and planted her into the ground.

Ammolite: "HA!"

Deep Cut: "GAAH!" She found herself lassoed in manna again.

Gwen: "Good job, doofus!"

Younger Ben: "Hey! Give me more credit than that, dweeb! At least I got her this time!" Trey began pummeling her while she was all tied up, and then he turned into Titan.

Titan Trey: "EAT THIS!" He tried to bring his sword down on her to end it, but she caught his blade my shapeshifting her hand into a blade.

Titan Trey: "WHAT?!" She turned her other hand into a tachyon cannon, and blasted Trey back. I stepped on her.

Ammolite: "THAT WAS MY FRIEND!" She pushed my foot up.

Deep Cut: "PLEASE! YOU REALLY THINK THIS WILL STOP… ME?!" I summoned one of Ben's claymores, and slammed it on her. I then took one of Kyle's SMG's, and combined it with Ben's sword, making it a Gunblade, like Leon's from Final Fantasy VIII or KH.

Ammolite: "Deep Cut, meet Gunblade! Gunblade, meet your first win!" I brought it down towards her, and slammed her with it, making a big fiery explosion.

Gwen: "W-whoa."

Titan Trey: "Fusion DOES make them a lot more powerful."

Younger Ben: "Duh, Unc!"

Logan: "Maybe you should figure out how to do that one day!"

Ali: "It sure is something."

Jigglypuff: "Yeah… now… why do I have this form?" They all laughed at her as I began walking towards them.

Ammolite: "Are you all okay? She's unconscious."

Jigglypuff: "Unconscious?! She's supposed to be bubbled!" I looked back, and saw another huge explosion. Deep Cut had gotten back up.

Deep Cut: "You… You… CHEAP CUTS! YOU DARE MAKE A MOCKERY OF ME?!" She flew at us, and punched me across the face.

Ammolite: "GAH!" I fell to the floor, and tried to punch at her again, but she caught my arm.

Deep Cut: "I was made to be the best assassin on Homeworld! I was made to kill everyone the Diamond Authority knew was going to be a threat to them! And you, using Fusion in the way that you do… IS A GRAVE OFFENSE!" She hit me again, and I rolled through the city, knocking some of the ground apart. She then fired a big laser beam at me, forcing me to block. When I tried to use my Gunblade, she shattered it, then punched me one more time, splitting me apart.

Kyle's POV.

I as Chalcedony, and Ben as Emerald, hit the ground.

Emerald: "OWW!"

Chalcedony: "SHIT!"

Deep Cut: "Pitiful fakes…" She floated down towards us. I summoned my guns, and began firing at her. She blocked each round. Ben rushed at her with a claymore, only to get knocked aside and reverted to normal Ben. I combined my SMG's into a sniper rifle, and fired for a headshot. She intercepted it on time.

Chalcedony: "Wh-wha…?" I was tackled into the wall.

Chalcedony: "AAAGH!"

Deep Cut: "You are nothing but a cheap copy of me right now, Halfling. You know nothing about us. You know NOTHING about power."

Chalcedony: "UGH… who said… I have to be… a Gem?" I smirked at her, when some sand pulled her off of me, and chucked her into another building. I reverted to normal.

Kyle: "Okay… Come on…" I made some handsigns.

Shukaku (in Kyle's head): "You willing to let me in now?"

Kyle (thinking): "Oh yeah, pal. Definitely." Deep Cut got back up, only to get grabbed by a pink stub. She was lifted up, and we saw a massively inflated Jigglypuff.

Jigglypuff: "I'M GIGALYPUFF NOW!" She slammed Deep Cut into the ground. Trey, who was now Eye Guy, began blasting her with eye beams. Younger Ben shot manna in, Ali and Charity both fired necroplasm into the hole, and Logan was using eye beams and his sonic scream to hold her down.

Eye Guy Trey: "Whatever you're doing Kyle, do it fast! We can't hold her down forever!"

Kyle: "I know, Trey! I just need another few seconds!" I closed my eyes, and a sand ball enveloped me. It grew to Gigalypuff's size, and then shaped itself into a tanooki raccoon with blue stripes, one big sand tail, and black eyes with red irises.

Kyle: "SHUKAKU!" The Ultimatrix symbol appeared on my chest.

Shukaku: "About time I mastered one of the Bijuu creatures." I smirked, and stretched my hand into the hole, and then whipped her through the entirety of Bellwood, and slammed her into the park. I hopped over there, grinning.

Deep Cut: "So… you mastered the One-Tailed Bijuu… Shukaku of the Sand… You think… that can defeat me?!"

Shukaku: "Well, I think it's a good step forward." I grinned, and hit the ground again, summoning sand.

Shukaku: "SAND COFFIN!" I slammed her in between both walls of sand. I then tail-whipped her into the outside of town. I saw Kayla, still as Gigalypuff, flying over to me with everyone on her head, including Ben, who was being healed by Impact. Good. They got front row seats to this. Deep Cut got up, and shot water at me. The balls impacted my surface, but did little to me. I charged at her, and sent larger amounts of sand her way. She tried to shield herself, but got enveloped in my sand. She used water to make it mud, but I already landed on her by then.

Logan: "DUDE! Kyle's way more powerful now!"

Ali: "He finally mastered a Bijuu."

Trey: "A Bijuu?"

Ali: "Like Kurama."

Trey: "Shit."

Charity: "Now if only you could master him."

Trey: "Babes. Please."

Younger Ben: "GO, KYLE!"

Shukaku: "Ha." I turned to see her getting up.

Deep Cut: "AAGH!" She flew up to me, and I slapped her into a crevasse. I began charging up an energy ball in my mouth, with energy gathering all around it.

Ben: "A Tailed-Beast Ball?"

Ali: "I'm guessing he wants to end this quickly." Deep Cut flew out of the crevasse, and began charging a blast of her own.

Deep Cut: "ENOUGH OF THIS! I WILL END YOU, AND THIS MISERABLE PLANET!"

Shukaku: "ALPHA… MIKE… FOXTROT! In other words… Adios… MOTHER… FUCKER!" We both shot our blasts, and they collided, shaking everything. Even Kayla almost lost her stability.

Jigglypuff: "Sorry guys!" The blasts were pushing against each other. Eventually, my blast got to her. She got hit by it, yelling in terror and pain as she was pushed back into her Gemstone. I made my way over to it, and became Chalcedony, when a rainbow bubble appeared over it from out of nowhere.

Chalcedony: "Wait, who…"

Voice: "KYLE TENNYSON, YOU BRAT!"

Chalcedony: "Oh no…"

Back with the clone Kyle…

I was pushed back, flying through the air as Diamondhead, as I landed on the ground, turning into Biohazard. I shot Doom Discs at Acropolis. He deflected each of my attacks.

Biohazard: "Of course. Why not." Ben was NRG, shooting radiation at Acropolis. He blocked the attacks, and slashed at Ben. Ben's hide protected him, and he punched Acropolis into the wall. Tonto, who was now Big Chill, was breathing ice at him, holding him down. Omni then transformed into Fourarms, and rushed at Acropolis, but Acropolis busted out of the ice and punched Omni back. Omni then became Chromastone, and blasted him with a laser. Acropolis got blasted into a lightpost, but he pulled it out, and used it to bash Omni into Ben. Ben caught him.

NRG Ben: "You ok?"

Chromastone Omni: "I think so."

Big Chill Tonto: "We tried to use ice before…"

Biohazard: "How are we going to beat this guy?" Suddenly, Ben's and my Ultimatrix beeped.

Ultimatrix and Ben's Ultimatrix: "New form obtained. Do you wish to transform?" Our faceplates popped open to reveal a hologram that looked like Bayonetta.

NRG Ben: "I'll pass."

Biohazard: "Hold on, Ben. This might be able to turn the tide." I slapped my symbol, transforming into Bayonetta, but as her red clothed alternate costume in SSB4. I did a victory dance immediately after I transformed, and my Ultimatrix symbol was on my chest, where the circular cutout is. I had her short hair, which was black instead of white.

Bayonetta: "How did I get it, though?" Both Omni and Tonto immediately looked disgusted, like they did when they saw Metrion in the past.

Chromastone Omni: "Dude, your watch is fucking disgusting."

Bayonetta: "What? It isn't like I asked my watch to make my transformations occasionally female."

NRG Ben: "I have to deal with it, too, guys. Trust me, I find it annoying, as well, but we need to learn to get used to it."

Big Chill Tonto: "If you say so…" He slapped his symbol, turning into A.I.

A.I. Tonto: "We just need to get Acropolis to turn back into Professor Isaacs."

Chromastone Omni: "And fast."

NRG Ben: "He has an alter ego?"

Chromastone Omni: "Yeah, but Professor Isaacs never really knows what he does in his form, so after we beat him, we try to scatter the relics."

Bayonetta: "Got it." I made my pistols on my heels and in my hands click. I continued with, "Let's see what you can do, girlfriend." I ran for Acropolis.

Acropolis: "A man that can become a woman at will?! Preposterous!" He shot at me, but I flipped over his attack, and began shooting at him while flipping through the air. He blocked my bullets as I gracefully landed. He charged at me, swinging his blade, and I ducked around it, then shot him with some rounds after I kicked him with an upwards kick. He backed away as Ben tackled him, sending him flying. Tonto sent lightning at him, paralyzing him, then Omni became Flare Burst, flying at Acropolis, then punching him into the wall. He then tossed a barrage of starbolts at him, only for Acropolis to recover and kick Omni into another lightpost. I grimaced, then brought my hand down, summoning a giant demonic hand from a portal to punch Acropolis into the ground. My eyes widened. I began using the trick to knock him around while he was in place. He blocked a foot that was coming to kick him, and then he flew at me. I dodged around his sword, and then ran up the side of a building, and began shooting him as I jumped off. Ben turned into Blue Streak, and slammed into Acropolis' chest.

Flare Burst Omni: "So, you guys have Mobian forms after all?"

Blue Streak: "Sure do." Omni then turned into Speed Demon.

Speed Demon Omni: "Then let's get him together."

Blue Streak: "And you're speaking my language!" As they began barraging him with spin dash tackles, Tonto turned into Danny Phantom.

Danny Phantom: "Ghostly Wail incoming!" He screamed, blasting Acropolis into another wall, and then he shot ectoplasm beams at Acropolis, even though Acropolis got up, he knocked the beam away, then flew at Tonto, trying to kick him, and Tonto used intangibility to dodge. A giant black dragon, with me riding on it, appeared, and then ate Acropolis whole.

Bayonetta: "So that's what I needed to do." I sprouted butterfly wings to fly off of the dragon, and then it charged into the ground, exploding in a red-outlined black explosion. Acropolis got up as I gently floated back to the ground, and did another Bayonetta dance.

Speed Demon Omni: "You are enjoying this one, aren't you?"

Bayonetta: "I gotta admit, this dancing is mostly reflexive." Acropolis had gotten back up. He roared in anger.

Acropolis: "YOU FOOLS! YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY WIN!" Seemed like it was time for the big guns. I slapped my symbol, transforming into a being that looked like Doomsday. My pants were red, my Ultimatrix symbol was red, and I felt this sudden urge to go crazy.

Kyle: "ARSENAL!"

Blue Streak: "What's this?!"

Speed Demon Omni: "No idea."

Arsenal: "Trey's true Doppelganger state, Ben. I need to end this now."

Danny Phantom: "Should we move?"

Speed Demon Omni: "Yes!" They moved as I focused on Acropolis.

Acropolis: "Foul monster! You decide to become a man, AND look that ugly?!"

Arsenal: "Yep." Acropolis roared, flying at me again, and I turned my hands into Diamondhead hands, blocking his attack.

Acropolis: "NO!"

Arsenal: "Oh yeah, Leonidas. Say hello to the SMACK HANDS!" I then made Smack Hands, clobbering him away from me. I turned my legs into Fasttrack legs, zooming for him, then I punched him back into the ground, making him yell in pain. I made my hands turn into Heatblast ones, and sent fire at him. He slashed me off of him, but my healing factor reduced the pain to nothing as I flew through the air. I sprouted Astrodactyl's jetpack to fly, then began spitting Ultimate Spidermonkey webs at him. He was trapped briefly as I covered myself in Cannonbolt armor, rolled into a ball, and dived onto him, skidding him across the road. He freed himself from the web, then knocked me into a building. I got up, and shot Jetray neruoshock blasts out of my eyes. He winced when he was hit. I then made my hands into Ultimate Humongousaur hands, and fired missiles at him. He shielded himself, but he was still sent flying. I then flew up to him with the jetpack, shapeshifting my hands into enlarged Terramorph fists, and hit him into the ground. He shot a laser at me. I turned my hands into Feedback hands to absorb it, then used it to increase my power. I then pulled all of that power back, into a Kamehameha pose.

Acropolis: "What do you think you're doing?!"

Arsenal: "FEEDBACK BOOSTED… KAME… HAME… HAAAAA!" I fired an electric Kamehameha at Acropolis. He tried to move, but got enveloped in the blast. When I ended it, I took a deep breath. When I saw him get up, I made Smack Hands again, zoomed up with Godspeed legs, and then pummeled down Acropolis at super speed, knocking him out cold. He collapsed, and then turned back into an old professor-type guy. Omni zoomed up, getting all of the relics off of him. I began panting, trying to regain control of all of the extra energy I had absorbed into myself.

Speed Demon: "Ben, we need to get these all back into museums."

Blue Streak: "No problem, bro." They both zoomed off. Tonto grabbed the medallion.

Danny Phantom: "I know just where to take you, mister." He flew off with it, as I turned back to me, hoping no one looked. The professor got up.

Professor Isaacs: "Dear me… where am I?"

Kyle: "You fell unconscious in the streets, sir."

Professor Isaacs: "Looks like a battle transpired!"

Kyle: "Yes, the alien heroes in the news stopped a bad guy. Some wreckage occurred. I'll take you to the police."

Professor Isaacs: "That would be nice. Thank you." I took him to the station, then left the building, running to a nearby alley. I went Fasttrack, and then ran to Omni and Tonto's warehouse. When I got there, Ben, Omni, and Tonto were already there. Ben had Azmuth on his shoulders.

Tonto: "So, what seems to be the big issue, guys? I assume this isn't just to hang out."

Azmuth: "You would be correct, Mr. Abernathy. You see, the HighBreed have destroyed Planet Galvan with their armada, and now Earth is next."

Omni: "Oh no…"

Ben: "Yeah. Not good. They already rebuilt their arch in Los Soledad, according to Professor Paradox. That was how we got here in the first place."

Omni: "And you want us to help you stop the HighBreed, right?"

Fasttrack: "Yes." I reverted to normal.

Kyle: "This won't be easy. I contacted another wielder of the Ultimatrix as well that we know. We need all the help we can get to stop these guys. You two in?" Omni and Tonto looked at each other.

Tonto: "Omni?" Omni smiled.

Omni: "Well, you helped us stop Acropolis. I suppose the least we could do is come in to back you guys up with the HighBreed. I'm in."

Tonto: "And wherever Omni goes, I go!"

Omni: "True…" He shook his head.

Azmuth: "Good. Now I just need to reach the timewalker."

Voice: "No need." Paradox came in after opening a time portal.

Paradox: "Omni, Tonto, I suppose you already know the circumstances of this mission?"

Omni: "We sure do. And let me tell you, it isn't anything we haven't had to deal with before. Kyle's my pal, like Tonto, more or less…"

Tonto: "Hey!"

Omni: "But we both are willing to help him. If we could defeat Eon together, we can handle the HighBreed's forces together. Especially with backup."

Paradox: "Good. We must hurry. Bella should be coming back with the others by now."

Omni: "Bella?"

Kyle: "You'll see." The six of us all went through the portal to catch back up with the real me and the others.

With the real Kyle…

Kyle's POV…

Bella was tugging on Ben's and my ears.

Bella: "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BOTH SKIPPED ON TRAINING JUST TO GO ON A DATE NIGHT WITH YOUR FRIENDS?! HAVEN'T I ALREADY STRESSED THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTROLLING THE BIJUU TO YOU?! AND BEN! YOU WANT TO BE AS GOOD AS KYLE! YOU BOTH ARE SO IN TROUBLE WHEN WE GET BACK!"

Kyle: "OW! SENSEI!"

Ben: "We just wanted to have some time off…"

Bella: "THEN RESCHEDULE!" Ali and Kayla looked disappointed, but Kayla also looked confused.

Kayla: "Who is this?" Bella let go of Ben's and my ears to look at her.

Bella: "You're right. We haven't been introduced. I'm Bella Hyna, a multidimensional superhero under the jurisdiction of the Cartoon Gods-"

Kyle: "Multiverse Gods!"

Bella: "That, too. And I've been told that I am to be Kyle's sensei for a time until he learns to control all of his inner demons, I.E. the tailed beasts within his Ultimatrix." She spontaneously pulled out a resume of her accomplishments for Kayla and the others to look at.

Logan: "Shit. This is crazy."

Trey: "Yeah… I mean, you gotta be powerful if you're Kyle's sensei."

Bella: "Yes. I already know who all of you are. Kayla Tennyson, Trey Sergauson, Logan Gold, Charity Jennings, and of course, an alternate Ben and Gwen Tennyson from the ones I usually deal with."

Younger Ben: "How did you know all of that?"

Bella: "It was my business to keep track of Kyle's progress, his associates, how far along he was in mastering his abilities, and many more things."

Gwen: "So, you're a superheroine from another alternate universe, taking up residence in Kyle's dimension, to teach him to get stronger?"

Bella; "Basically, yes."

Gwen: "Thought so."

Bella: "And I am here to take everyone back, but I also need Trey for this mission."

Logan: "Wait, what about us?!"

Bella: "You need to stay behind in case some other villains get on the loose."

Trey: "Got it, Bella."

Kyle: "So, you ready to come with us?"

Charity: "I have a question, Bella."

Bella: "Shoot."

Charity: "That Chalcedony Gem earlier… What was up with her?"

Bella: "That Chalcedony was an assassin sent by the Homeworld Gems I met in my travels. They not only want me dead, they wanted Kyle dead before he became powerful enough to stop them. They're also the ones that helped out the HighBreed, since they want Earth destroyed. I was supposed to be protecting Kyle from those assassins, but he did a good job today on defeating her. I suppose my teachings are already starting to help out." She smiled.

Bella: "You did well, Kyle. But she was only the beginning of the other assassins."

Kyle: "You said you were protecting me from them since I first got the watch."

Bella: "Yes. And I still will fight alongside you if you need it. Just be happy this one was easy enough."

Ben: "EASY?!"

Bella: "Yes." She turned into Clockwork, and then opened a time portal.

Clockwork Bella: "Guys, come on!"

Charity: "Good luck, babes." She and Trey hugged, then briefly made out.

Trey: "I'll come back in one piece, Chare." Ben, Ali, Kayla, and Trey followed behind Bella and I.

Kyle: "Sorry, Sensei."

Clockwork Bella: "I am mad, but also proud. You did part of what you set out to do."

Kyle: "Yeah. One down, eight to go."

Trey: "Eight?"

Ben: "Yeah. He has way more of those inside him."

Kayla: "It isn't easy to keep them under control with the kind of mental pressure needed."

Kyle: "Thankfully, Metrion helps me with that."

Clockwork Bella: "True, but who knows for how much longer?" It was true Bella and I resealed Kurama just now. Who knows if he could still have an influence, though? I sure don't.

Trey: "Don't worry, Ky. You'll figure it out before long. I mean, at least Kurama doesn't make me go too insane."

Kyle: "You're lucky, Trey. Real lucky." Why was his Kurama not sentient, but mine and Omni's were? It made no sense.

Ali: "Well, we'll be home soon. The clones and the you's will have to re-merge."

Trey: "Clones?"

Ben: "Yeah. Kyle and I know how to duplicate ourselves using Echo Echo."

Trey: "Lucky."

Kayla: "Maybe you'll figure it out someday, Trey."

Trey: "I'll figure it out. Then Kyle and I can finish our match, which I was totally winning."

Kyle: "I was holding back because of the cramped-up space."

Clockwork Bella: "You guys fought?"

Trey: "Yeah, but I was winning."

Kyle: "Not later. Before you go back home, I want to finish our fight."

Trey: "I do, too." We grinned to each other.

Ali: "Looks like we're almost there, guys."

Kayla: "Yep. Hang tight, guys." We got to the other end of the portal, seeing we were at the Mr. Smoothies of our universe.

Clockwork Bella: "This should be where everyone's meeting up." She turned back to normal.

Kevin: "Tennyson." I looked over to him, and saw Gwen with him.

Gwen: "Hi, Trey."

Trey: "Kevin! Gwen! Wazzup, guys?!" He had a brief hug with Gwen, and then a high-five with Kevin.

Gwen: "Nice to see you."

Kevin: "We already got our group together." I looked, and saw Alan, Cooper in a big red mech suit, Darkstar (unfortunately), and Julie.

Julie: "Hi, Ben!"

Ben: "Julie?! What are you doing here?" Ben walked up to her. Kayla followed behind.

Julie: "It's okay. I brought Ship." Ship came up from behind her.

Ship: "Shipship!"

Ben: "Nice." He grinned.

Kayla: "Hey, Julie."

Julie: "Kayla." Kayla put out her hand, and Julie shook it.

Kayla: "Still a little awkward, or…"

Julie: "Maybe a little…" She admitted it, but she wasn't unhappy to see Kayla, so it was cool, I thought.

Darkstar: "Tennyson."

Kyle: "Michael."

Darkstar: "It is Darkstar now, fool."

Kyle: "Any reason you guys let him out of prison?"

Kevin: "We promised that we'd give him enough energy to last him a year."

Gwen: "Sorry."

Kyle: "It's fine… I guess."

Alan: "Yo, Kyle!" He unfired up, and we high fived.

Kyle: "Been a while, chili-pepper!"

Alan: "Yeah… can you stop calling me that?"

Kyle: "Not on your life. Become a fully grown Pyronite, and maybe I'll consider it. So… You ready to kick some DNAlien butt?!"

Alan: "After the crap they put me and my family through? You know it!" I laughed, and he laughed laong with me.

Julie: "Who's this?" She was looking at Trey.

Kyle: "Everyone, Trey Sergauson, aka, the Amazing Arsenal."

Trey: "Yo."

Kyle: "Trey, Julie, Ben's ex…, Darkstar, the worst douchebag in the entire universe, Cooper, the technopath, and Alan, who's half-Pyronite."

Cooper: "Nice to meet you Trey."

Trey: "Nice to meet y'all."

Ship: "SHIP!"

Kyle: "Oh, and Ship, Julie's dog."

Trey: "Upgrades can be dogs, too?"

Julie: "Apparently." Another portal suddenly opened up, and Paradox left, with Clone me, Clone Ben, Azmuth, Omni, and Tonto.

Kyle #2: "About time we got back."

Ben #2: "Being separated for so long was weird…"

Omni: "Considering that I saw Kyle do this before, I'm not surprised. Ben?! You know how, too?!"

Ben #2: "Uh huh. Looks like it's time to get back together." Both the real us' and the clone us' became Echo Echo, then combined into one, and changed back to human.

Ben: "Feels good to be back in one body."

Kyle: "Tell me about it." We looked at Omni and Tonto.

Kyle: "Omni! Tonto! How have you guys been?"

Omni: "Pretty good. Your clones helped us beat Acropolis again."

Tonto: "He turned into some Doomsday-looking monster! And Bayonetta for some reason…" Both Omni and Tonto still looked disgusted.

Trey: "Well, at least they work."

Omni: "I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met."

Trey: "Trey Sergauson. The Amazing Arsenal. Pleasure to meet you both." He shook hands with them.

Omni: "I'm Omnitrix the First, and this is my idiot sidekick, Tonto."

Tonto: "I hate it when you introduce me like that."

Darkstar: "Now that everyone knows each other, can we just go to the HighBreed base and destroy them?"

Bella: "In good time, Mr. Morningstar. In good time." She smirked at him.

Darkstar: "Your energy is… appealing."

Bella: "Don't even think about it, helmethead." She looked to Omni and Tonto.

Omni: "Hi-"

Bella: "Omnitrix the First and Tonto Abernathy. I know you guys already."

Tonto: "We never met you, ma'am!"

Bella: "That's okay. I researched everything about Kyle before I met him."

Omni: "Stalker much?"

Bella: "No. Just studying. I'm his teacher, Bella Hyna."

Omni: "Hi…" He was visibly disturbed at this revelation.

Tonto: "She seems nice." Omni made a facepalm.

Omni: "Have you been helped, Bella?"

Bella: "They tried. But they never got to the bottom of the problem." That remark made all of us worry.

Alan: "I'm worried!"

Cooper: "As am I…"

Paradox: "Well, now that we're all ready to go…" He grinned.

Kyle: "Right. Now that everyone's here… Let's make our way to Los Soledad." Gwen, Kevin, Ali, Ben, Kayla, and I started to walk together, then Bella, Omni, Tonto, and Trey caught up, and Alan levitated on a rock, as Cooper walked beside us. Ship transformed into his Anterian Obliterator Mode as Julie walked into him, and Darkstar started walking, with Azmuth on Paradox's shoulders, and he followed us as well. This fight was NOT going to be easy, but with everyone here… I think we can do it.
