(And I'm back with my next installment. Here's where Lincoln and his sisters meet an old acquaintance of Albert, and quite frankly are not fond of her.)
Somewhere in the arctic two teenage boys were riding around on their snowmobiles like the wild and crazy boys they were. When one wasn't looking he looked ahead and saw something sticking out of the snow and made a sharp turn which sent him off his snow mobile. To add more to the injury the ground he stood on caved in.
The other teen pulled up and laughed at his friends misfortune, until the other called, "Hey, check this out!"
The other teen rode his snowmobile down the hill to see his friend looking at a bunch of pods, "What is all this?"
"I don't know. Maybe they're worth something." the other said, as he brushed some snow off a pod, and it began to glow and open. The two looked inside and screamed before running back to their snow mobiles and high tailed it out of there.
Stepping out from the pod was a shrouded figure, with three glowing purple eyes, "The Omnitrix." it spoke.
Meanwhile in Royal Woods park, Lincoln was talking with Clyde about the recent events with Ghostfreak, as his sisters were all around doing their own things, "Ghostfreak came back and those monster aliens tried to make earth habitable for him?"
"Yeah. Not to mention I got to go out into space."
"So lucky." Clyde sighed.
"Well, it wasn't entirely fun. I mean it was fun, but it was dangerous. Honestly, we're lucky to have survived."
"Still you really have so much excitement on your adventures." Clyde said, before they noticed Albert looking out into the distance as if he had much on his mind.
Curious the two boys went over, "Hey, Pop-pop, you ok?"
Albert looked back, "Oh, yeah. I'm fine, Lincoln. Just thinking back to my plumbers days. I did so much, and here I am semi-retired and helping you in any way I can."
"And I always appreciate this," Lincoln admitted, "If not for you I wouldn't even know about half the aliens that existed out there or in the Omnitrix."
Albert smiled, as he walked off to get some exercise. The Loud girls approached, "How's Pop-Pop?" Luna asked.
"All good, he's just thinking back to his Plumbers days and about how much he's enjoyed using his experience to help me." Lincoln answered.
"You mean us, right?" Lynn asked.
"Right."
Suddenly breaking them out of their peaceful moment was the sounds of civilians screaming and running away, "Oh, great. Now what?" Lori asked dryly.
Clyde looked over and gasped, "Now that!"
The Loud kids looked over a humanoid reptilian alien from. It had green skin with blue stripes on the head, the structure of its legs looked like Blitzwolfer's. It had a long tail like a lizard and a feminine build. It's attire was a light blue and dark suit. It also had three purple eyes.
"Well, this chalks a new alien up on the list." Lisa said, as the alien looked in their direction.
It's eyes focused on Lincoln, before her eyes glowed purple. Suddenly Lincoln was surrounded by a purple aura and levitated off the ground. The alien spoke in a woman's voice, "The Omnitrix. Where did you get it? Answer me!"
Lincoln frowned at her demanding, "Long story, but the short answer is..." he activated the Omnitrix and transformed into Blitzwolfer, "It doesn't matter, because you're not getting it." he released a howling shock wave from his mouth at the alien intruder, only to see she disappeared, "Where'd she go?"
"Look out, dude!" Luna called, as the alien sued her psychic powers to disassemble the whole playground set and pelted Blitzwolfer with them. The wolf alien dodged the attacks before charging at her and tackled her to the ground.
"Whelps should know their place." she caught the hero in another psychic hold and tossed him aside, before using her power on a fire hydrant to soak him.
Blitzwolfer shook his fur off sending bits of water at his sisters, "Stop drying off and kick the bad guy's butt, Lincoln!" Lola ordered.
"What do you think I'm trying to do?" Blitwolfer asked sounding annoyed.
As the intruder was about to attack again, she was blasted from the side by Albert wearing his Plumber uniform and carrying a blaster, "No one touches my grand-kids. Turn around slowly. And don't make me repeat myself!"
"That voice," the intruder gasped, as she looked over, "Albert?"
Albert gasped, "Xylene? Is that really you?"
The Loud kids and Clyde were confused, "Are we missing something here?" Lana asked.
"I am just as lost as you." Lisa admitted.
"Are these children with you?" Xylene asked.
"Actually, yes." Albert confirmed.
Xylene floated over to the kids, "My sincerest apologies. Had I known I was attacking anyone associated with Albert Jefferson I wouldn't have been so forceful."
"Like who're you?" Leni asked in confusion.
"And how do you know our Pop-Pop?" Lynn asked.
Albert approached, "Kids, this is Xylene. An old friend of mine from long ago. Xylene, these are my grandchildren. Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lana, Lola, Lisa, Lily..." The Omnitrix beeped before Lincoln changed back to human, "And Lincoln."
"And I'm Clyde," Clyde introduced himself, "I'm a... friend of the family."
"Eleven grandchildren?" Xylene asked, "Albert, your family certainly grew."
"I know." Albert laughed.
"Uh, any chance we could move this discussion elsewhere?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, one that's 'out of sight'?" Luan laughed, as the kids groaned.
Xylene raised a brow in confusion, "I don't get it."
"Trust me, none of us do." Lori assured her.
Meanwhile back in the arctic, the two boys brought another person back to the sight where they saw Xylene, "I don't see any big lizard. Just a bunch of junk."
"Maybe they can be salvaged for money?" one suggested.
Suddenly rising up out of the snow was one of Vilgax's old drones. The sight of it caused the three to panic and make a run for it, while the drone was scanning around before locking onto the abandoned snowmobile. It got closer, and two black cables emerged from it and started ripping pieces of the snowmobile off it.
Back in Royal Woods, at the Loud House, Albert and Xylene were on the family sofa looking all chummy,as the Loud Family and Clyde watched from the other room.
"So she's a friend of your Pop-pop's?" Rita asked.
"Yeah. But we don't know the exact nature of their friendship." Lisa answered.
"So why don't we go ask them?" Lynn asked.
"Because they look like they're having a moment." Lori reminded her.
"They've been having one for three hours now," Lincoln said, "I think that's more than enough time for us to get a real explanation."
"Agreed." Lucy confirmed, as they entered the living room.
"So how do you know our Pop-pop?" Luna asked Xylene.
Albert answered for her, "We go way back to my first days in the Plumbers. We worked a lot together in those early years."
"You even made me an honorary Plumbette." Xylene giggled.
"Well, nice to know my dad knew some interesting people in his secret job." Rita said trying to be hospitable, until Xylene looked at her.
"Rita?"
"Um, yes?"
"I remember when Albert first showed me your picture. You were so small back then. But you've grown. And raising this many children. It must be a tough job."
"You don't know the half of it." Rita answered dryly.
"So Xylene, what brings you back to earth after all this time?" Albert inquired.
"That!" she motioned to the Omnitrix.
Lincoln frowned, as he and the girls got defensive, "I knew it! You're just after the watch like every other galactic villain I meet!"
"Now calm down, Lincoln," Albert tried to ease the tension, "Xylene, tell him it isn't so."
"Why wouldn't I be interested in the Omnitrix?" she asked rhetorically, "I'm the one who sent it to earth in the first place."
"That was you?" Clyde asked.
"I was transporting the Omnitrix, when I was attacked by our old 'friend'." Xylene began.
"Vilgax." Albert scowled.
Xylene flashed back to the night it happened when Vilgax attacked the ship that contained the Omnitrix. The ship Xylene was piloting. As Vilgax's ship opened fire she fired back, until Vilgax sent his drones to retrieve the watch.
Xylene went to the back to see the drones that made it on board. She used her powers to throw them into the wall destroying them, but the ship was taking too much damage, "When I realized I could no longer keep the Omnitrix safe from Vilgax, I placed it inside a pod and launched it to earth. I made it into my own escape pod just before my ship was destroyed. I crashed landed on earth but fell into a deep hyper sleep, until I was eventually awoken."
The flash back ended, as Albert, "Well, the good news is no longer a problem. Thanks to my grand-kids, he's finally doing time in the Null Void, same as that notorious hunter and beast seller Singe."
"Yes, well, I'm sure you're just being modest about your role in all that." Xylene replied much to the irritation of Lincoln and his older sisters.
"Excuse me?" Lincoln asked in shock, "I'm the one who had to fight those two inside the Null Void!"
"And we risked our butts just to keep those two in the Null Void before Lincoln could get out." Lori argued.
"Well, I'm sure your roles greatly benefited Albert." Xylene answered all condescending.
Lincoln didn't like her attitude, and spoke, "So since Vilgax is gone, and the Omnitrix is safe, I guess you can leave now."
Albert scowled, "Lincoln, that's no way to behave."
"Your grandpa is right, son. Mind your manners." Lynn Sr. scolded him.
Lincoln frowned, as Xylene pulled out a device which sent a beacon up into the air, "My transportation will be on its way shortly."
"In the meantime, this'll give us some time to catch up." Albert said, as the two left the house.
"So all those hours they've been sitting here wasn't catching up?" Luna asked.
"I do not like her." Lincoln frowned.
"You and me both." Lynn agreed.
"Kids, this is no time to be jealous of your Pop-pop's old friend." Rita warned them.
"We're not jealous." Lori answered.
"We just don't like the way she was talking to us." Lynn added.
"Like, yeah. How rude can an alien be?" Leni asked.
"Yeah. She needs to lose that Rude Tude." Luan joked and laughed.
"And who does she think she is talking down to us like we're children?" Lisa grumbled.
"Technically, you are children." the Loud dad reminded her.
"Nevertheless!" Lisa argued.
"I'm going to do some reconnaissance." Lincoln stepped to the door.
"Lincoln, don't spy on your Pop-pop." Lynn Sr. warned him.
"I'm not spying on Pop-pop. I'm doing reconnaissance on her." Lincoln answered, as he went out the door.
Later, Albert and Xylene were taking a walk around the forest area around Royal Woods. The alien spoke, "About the youngsters. I knew you had a daughter, but you couldn't have possibly imagined you would have eleven grandchildren."
"I know. But that Rita of mine is full of surprises. You know I taught her how to fly a plane."
"You don't say?"
"Oh, yeah. And that training still lives on in her." Albert boasted.
"Good to know, but don't you miss your Plumber days?"
"Occasionally, but I retired from that life. And besides we're still getting our fair share of excitement around these parts. Especially since you dropped that little present of yours into our laps."
"Despite your appearance, you really haven't aged at all since I last saw you." Xylene marveled.
Popping out from a nearby tree was Lincoln who had changed into Wildvine who gagged, "Ugh. This is worse than spying on Lori and Bobby. If they keep this up I'm gonna hurl sap."
Xylene spoke to Albert, "Do you remember that night?"
"How could I forget?" Albert asked, as the two reminisced.
Out in the desert of Roswell, a much younger looking Albert and another plumber was with xylene outside her ship, "Rumor has it a new DNA weapon is out there. Are you sure you won't change your mind about coming with me?"
Younger Albert answered, "Tempting. But until I bring Vilgax down, I have a job to do here. But we'll always have Roswell."
Xylene smiled, and the two kissed, before Xylene boarded her ship that took off into the galaxy.
Albert sighed at the memory of that day, until Xylene spoke, "With Vilgax out of the picture, there's nothing to keep you here now. I could use your help out there."
"Another temping offer." Albert sighed.
Wildvine overheard that gasped, "Whoa." he sunk back into the tree and decided to head home.
He returned to the Loud House, to see his family and Clyde. Clyde noticed his entry and spoke, "Lincoln, how'd it go?"
"Get any juicy info?" Lynn asked.
"Oh, I got it all right." Lincoln answered angry.
"What's wrong, honey?" Rita asked.
"I should've kicked her butt back to space hours ago."
"Lincoln!" his parents gasped.
"What is it, Linky?" Leni asked.
"I overheard Xylene trying to talk Pop-pop into going with her to outer space," the kids gasped, "She's trying to take him away from us."
"She can't do that!" Lola protested.
"Who else are we supposed to visit, Aunt Ruth?" Lynn asked rhetorically only for her parents to scowl at her, "Not that there's anything wrong with visiting Aunt Ruth of course." she grinned nervously.
"And besides, Pop-pop has Myrtle." Lori reminded them.
"She must go." Lucy pounded her fist.
"Kids, you're overreacting." Rita calmed them.
Suddenly an alarm started blaring, "What is that?" Clyde asked.
Lisa gasped, "My warning alarm. An unidentified life-form is closing in on our home."
Lincoln hearing this went outside only to almost get blasted. The others peeked outside and looked up to see the drone from the arctic. The robot released its cables and tried to attack Lincoln and the others.
"Lincoln, that's one of Vilgax's bots!" Clyde called.
"And here I was hoping to be done with all of them," Lincoln groaned. The robot launched missiles at the group who jumped clear of the explosion, "It must be after the Omnitrix like before." Lincoln suspected.
"So send it to the scrapyard already, dude." Luna said.
"Agreed," Lincoln activated the watch and turned the dial, "Upgrade's gonna dismantle it from the inside out." he slammed down on the dial and changed into Fourarms.
"Huh? Well, this works too." he attacked the robot with his strength to rip it up.
Albert and Xylene overheard the commotion and arrived on scene, "What in the world?" Albert gasped.
Xylene floated over to Fourarms who was busy ripping the wires out of the drone, "Don't worry, I got this!" he assured her, as he kept his grip on the robot to avoid falling off.
Xylene used her powers to break up the ground under the robot making it fall over with Fourarms rolling off it. Albert whipped out his blaster and started shooting the robot, with Lucy using her magic to project a blast at it as well.
With the robot distracted, Fourarms jumped on it again to continue ripping it apart. When Xylene used her powers to toss it again, she ended up tossing Fourarms as well. The two landed atop the Beast, and the robot used its cables to take pieces of the Beast and attach it to itself for repairs.
"It's taking the Beast apart!" Lana gasped, as the robot looked bigger and stronger.
As the robot was about to attack, it stopped in place and revealed Fourarms was tugging on its cables, "You ain't touching my family!" suddenly the robot aimed an energy cannon at Fourarms, "Dang it!" he cursed as he got blasted along with part of the Beast blowing as well.
The robot continued to blast at the others who took over, until Albert saw a propane tank attached to the robot as a means of fuel, "Xylene!"
Xylene seeing what Albert was thinking used her powers to levitate the propane tank onto the front of the robot, as Albert blasted it. The explosion damaged the robot more making it near inoperable.
"Whoa." the girls gasped.
"Nice." Clyde admitted.
"We make a good team." Xylene told Albert.
"Like old times.' Albert agreed.
Fourarms went back to the robot and ripped it apart so more to make sure it wouldn't move again. Seeing it was done, he got off and spoke to his grandpa, "Sorry about the Beast, Pop-pop. I guess I kinda over did it."
"Yeah. Kinda." Albert replied.
"Well, nothing I can't handle." Lana said, as she went to get her mechanic bag. The whole group was unaware that a piece of the robot had wandered away from them.
Later on everyone was doing their part to put the Beast back together good as new, with Lincoln as Diamondhead piecing the parts together.
"Where did that robot even come from?" Luan asked.
"It must've been the same one that fell to earth with Xylene." Albert suspected.
"And it's doing the merging thing like the one that did to Kurt." Clyde recalled.
Xylene spoke, "Apparently they developed the ability to amalgamate mechanical devices. In order to fulfill their programming."
"You mean retrieve the watch?" Leni asked, as Xylene nodded before speaking to Diamondhead.
"You're certain the mechadroid was completely destroyed, are you?"
"Of course I am. I'm very careful with things like that." Diamondhead answered, irritate. The group was unaware the the piece of the drone that got away started stealing car parts and other things to repair itself.
As the group had finished the rebuilding the Beast, Xylene spoke to Diamondhead, "If you wanted to be truly helpful a Galvanic Mechamorph would've been more appropriate."
Diamondhead frowned, "I was gonna go Upgrade, but the watch doesn't always work right!"
"A lack of experience is no excuse." Xylene continued to patronize him.
At that moment Diamondhead had enough, "ALRIGHT THAT'S IT!" everyone was startled by Diamondhead's outburst, "I have had it with you condescending me ever since you got here!"
"Lincoln, Xylene was the watch's transport. She probably knows more about it than any of us do. Maybe you should listen to her."
"You're taking her side?" Diamondhead asked in outrage.
"Boy, you're being irrational." Xylene replied.
"Well, if you think I'm such a screw up then why did you even send it down to me in the first place, huh?!"
"He does have a point." Clyde admitted.
"I didn't send you the Omnitrix," Xylene replied, "You found the Omnitrix before it could reach its intended recipient."
"What're you talking about?" Leni asked in confusion.
"The pod containing it veered slightly off its intended course."
Diamondhead was confused as he changed back into Lincoln, "You mean I got the watch by mistake?"
"Of course," Xylene answered bluntly, "You didn't believe I'd purposely send the most powerful device in the universe to a child, did you? I was sending it to Albert." Albert was surprised.
"Makes sense given the fact he was a Plumber." Lisa replied, as the other sibs scowled at her who didn't even notice Lincoln getting dismal.
"So then why did it end up with Lincoln?" Lynn asked.
"As I said, it veered off its course slightly and ended up picking up Albert's DNA from his grandson."
"Well, that's just great!" Lincoln snapped, "Go and take it back just like you want to take our Pop-pop from us to explore the universe. SEE IF I CARE!" he screamed before running away in tears.
"Lincoln!" the Loud family and Clyde called, but he clearly wasn't coming back.
The Loud kids and Clyde looked at Xylene and were as angry at her as Lincoln, "Nice going, dude." Luna said in sarcasm.
"I'm surprised with all the time you spent around our Pop-pop you don't have any class or manners!" Lola scolded her.
"Come on, everyone. Let's check on Lincoln." Lori suggested, as they all followed after Lincoln, leaving the adults to themselves.
Xylene spoke to the three humans dumbfounded, "Did I say something wrong?" The loud parents could only scowl, while Albert sighed.
The kids found Lincoln in the park by the pond brooding, "Lincoln?" Clyde asked.
"It was all a mistake," Lincoln replied, "I thought the watch fell to me because I was important or something. Meant to be something much more than who I am. But it wasn't. I just happened to be in the convenient place at the convenient time."
"Bro, who cares what Xylene says," Luna comforted him, "So what if it was all just chance that you found it. You think if anyone else found it they could've done all that you have?"
"Luna's right, Lincoln," Lana agreed, "You took on criminals, alien warlords, bounty hunters, magicians, and freaky clowns. Who else could've done anything like that?"
"I could've." Lynn answered, only to get shoulder swatted by Lori.
"Point is, you have the watch and you are a hero. Who cares if Xylene doesn't think you're the right one for the job. It's not her call." the eldest sister said.
"It's not even just about the watch," Lincoln replied, "I'm worried what if Pop-pop does decide to go with her? I mean look at him. He's never been that happy with a woman except for Gran-Gran or even Myrtle." The kids did feel worried about the possibility of their grandpa actually agreeing to go with Xylene.
Back at the Loud House, Rita and Lynn were scolding Xylene, "I know you're Albert's old friend, but really did you have to hurt our son's feelings and bruise his pride? Believe me we see him get enough of that from his own sisters." the father lectured her.
"My apologies," she began, "Human offspring is a mystery to me. On my planet once you hatch you're on your own."
The Loud parents were taken aback, as Rita spoke, "We didn't know."
"well, soon that won't be a problem for me." she motioned to Albert who still wasn't sure how to break it to her.
They didn't have time, as they were almost blasted once again by the mechadroid, "Oh, no it's back!" Lynn gasped, as she and Rita took cover.
Xylene tried to attack it but was swatted away by the robot, "Xylene!" Albert tried blasting at the robot again, as the mechadroid honed in on Albert and sent its cables at him.
It brought Albert against it as the cables connected to his suit adapting to it. The kids returned and saw this, "No!" the girls cried.
"Pop-pop!" Lincoln cried, as the robot took off with Albert.
After recovering Lynn argued at Lincoln, "I thought you said you destroyed it, Mr. I'm very careful with things like that."
Lincoln frowned at Lynn, until Xylene stopped them, "We all thought it was. But that doesn't matter now."
"It doesn't?" Leni asked.
"But if it's after the Omnitrix then why take Pop-pop?" Lucy asked.
Lincoln gasped in realization, "Because it knows I'll come after it. It's all a trap."
"Precisely," Xylene confirmed, "Which is why..." Lincoln cut her off.
"Look, we know the Omnitrix is the most powerful device in the universe and protecting it is the utmost importance and more important than some single human being."
"Well, it is," she admitted bluntly, "But..."
"And there's no way we're letting that living junk pile hurt him."
"I agree, which is why..."
"So if you really care about Pop-pop help nus or get out of our way!" Lincoln ordered, as xylene got irritated and levitated Lincoln and pinned him to the wall.
"Are you quite done?" she asked, Lincoln nodded nervously, "Good. You all aren't the only ones who care about Albert. Believe me. If we work together we can save him and keep the Omnitrix safe," she lowered Lincoln to the ground, "Truce?" she put her hand out.
The kids looked at each other before placing their hands on hers, "Truce."
"So now that the team is established, we need to figure out where the robot has taken Pop-pop." Lisa began.
"And fast, the robot is collecting more parts to get stronger. If there a place it can go in this town to get that?" Xylene asked.
Lana spoke up, "I hear the docks has just delivered a new shipment of work equipment."
"Then we must go there at once." Xylene ordered.
"Agreed," Lincoln nodded, "Just let me get something." he ran back into the house and came out with his hover board, "Clyde, hop on!" Clyde got on back of Lincoln as Rita spoke to Xylene.
"Please, bring my dad home and protect my children." she pleaded.
Xylene answered, "I promise I'll bring Albert home. As for your kids... I'll protect them as if they were my own." Rita smiled, as the girls felt moved by her claim.
As nighttime fell, Lincoln and Clyde hover boarded to the docks while xylene levitated the girls after them. They stopped and hid behind the docks, before seeing some bulldozers and other moving equipment looking completely trashed.
"Looks like the junk pile got in a midnight snack." Luan joked.
"Meaning it's more dangerous." Xylene feared.
"I don't see it anywhere." Luna looked around.
"Guys," Lincoln spoke as he looked over from a pile of crates, "I found it."
They saw the mechadroid was still taking pieces from more moving equipment, before it turned around to reveal Albert still hooked up to the robot, "Pop-pop!" the kids cried.
"Kids, get back!" he ordered, "This thing has control of the nano tech in my suit!" the robot made him fire lasers from his suit's wrist blaster at them.
"Move!" Lynn cried, as they jumped for cover.
"Guys, do whatever it takes to bring this thing down. Even if it means taking me with it." Albert ordered.
"That's not an option, Pop-pop." Lincoln answered, as they took cover. Lincoln jumped out and held his wrist up to show the watch, 'You want this? I'll trade ya. My Pop-pop for the watch."
"Lincoln, no!"
Lincoln dodged the cables, 'Don't worry, Pop-pop, we got a plan."
"We?" Albert asked, as Xylene flew in and blasted at the robot.
"Albert, we've got to stop meeting like this." she flirted.
"Coming at ya!" Lori called, as she drove a forklift right into the drone pinning it to a warehouse wall.
"Get pop-pop!" Lincoln called, as Xylene tried to free Albert, but the robot kept attacking her.
Xylene noticed a storage crate suspended above them by crane wire. Getting an idea she cut the rope as it dropped onto the drone flattening it. Luckily she pulled Albert away from it do he wouldn't get crushed with it.
Suddenly they saw the crate busted open to reveal an army tank, and wouldn't you know the robot adapted to it and suddenly gained the tanks cannon, "A tank? Are you literally kidding me?!" Lori asked irritated.
As the newly powered robot kept taking a shot at the family, they took cover behind a bunch of crates, "we have to destroy the mechadroid." Xylene told them.
"Ok, hopefully this time Upgrade will be my choice." Lincoln was ready to activate the Omnitrix, until Xylene stopped him.
"I think I know of a better choice to handle this job. If you trust me, at least."
Lincoln pondered, but decided to trust in his Pop-pop by trusting her, "What do you have in mind?" Xylene smirked, as she turned to dial on the Omnitrix a few times like a code until he saw a new silhouette appear on the dial, "Do it."
"Well, here it goes!" Lincoln slammed down on the dial and transformed.
Suddenly he stood before the group as a small pudgy green alien that looked hamster-like with some reptilian traits and beady black eyes. Small ridges ran down his back and a stubby tail came form the back. He wore a black open-front suit with orange over-sleeves and orange bands around his legs and orange padding under his three-toed feet and wore the Omnitrix symbol on his left hand. He had crooked teeth overbite, whisker-like lines on his face, and a plump belly.
Lincoln looked himself over, as Lola squealed, "Eeee! He's so adorable!"
"What the heck am I?" Lincoln asked Xylene.
"Listen closely," she began, "You're going to eat it. Literally eat it. That's your power."
"Hmm, I am kinda hungry." he admitted before opening his mouth and extending from it were four frog-like tongues that stuck to the wall.
"Whoa. Four tongues!" Lana cheered.
"Go, Lincoln," Xylene ordered, "Be the hero your grandpa says you are."
Lincoln nodded, as he retracts his tongues and ran up onto some crates before landing atop the robot, "Ok. Time to eat!" he started sinking his teeth into the robot and chewed bits of it up before swallowing making his tummy glow green, "I don't believe this. I'm eating junk parts... And it's delicious."
Lynn gagged, "Watching him eat all that is making me sick."
"Careful you don't 'upchuck'!" Luan laughed.
Lincoln hearing that got an idea, "I wonder..." he suddenly started spitting out green ball that exploded upon hitting the robot, "Yes! I've obtained Upchuck power!"
Lola gagged, "He looks adorable, but his power is disgusting."
"I kinda like it." Lana admitted.
"I'll get Albert," Xylene said, as she went to help Albert again, "Let go of him!" she demanded the robot, as she tired to free Albert.
Upchuck continued to eat and spit out the robots parts before reaching the original head piece of the drone, "Yum. Dessert." he swallowed the head. Without the main mechadroid the whole robot fell apart. Luckily Xylene freed Albert from the cable restraints.
Upchuck landed before them before barfing up the droid head that blew up.
"Way to go, Lincoln." Albert said, as Upchuck changed back into Lincoln.
The boy groaned sickly, "Ugh! Anybody got mouthwash? I have an unpleasant taste in my mouth." the girls and Clyde could only chuckle.
Later on after the group returned to the Loud House much to the parents relief, Xylene's ship was parked in the street. It was indeed time for her to go.
Lincoln spoke up Xylene, "Look, I want to apologize for my behavior earlier. I was just jealous. If you make Pop-pop happy. Then I'm happy too."
Xylene smiled, "You are definitely Albert's grandson," Lincoln looked at the watch and Xylene continued, "Take very good care of that, Lincoln. Vilgax isn't the only one out there interested in the Omnitrix."
"I know that much." Lincoln agreed while thinking of Ghostfreak.
"Well, Lincoln you once again manged to impress another alien." Lori began.
"Think we should let Pop-pop say goodbye?" Leni asked.
"Yeah. But to who?" Luna asked.
Xylene looked at Albert who already had an answer, and she knew what it was, "You're not coming again, are you?"
"It is a big galaxy out there. But everyone here is my whole world. And I sort of am seeing someone now." Albert admitted sheepishly.
Xylene said nothing as she and Albert just shared a passionate kiss, while everyone else looked away in repulse. When the two parted, Xylene went up her ship ramp and spoke, "we'll always have Roswell." Once on board Xylene's ship took to the sky and zipped off to parts unknown.
Rita spoke to her father sternly, "Dad, what happened in Roswell?"
"Oh, nothing." he said sheepishly.
"We're actually surprised you decided to stay." Lynn Jr. admitted.
"Yeah. You could've seen so much out there." Lisa added.
"I have already seen it." Albert admitted, as the Loud family and Clyde embraced the old man all around.
(There you go. They gained another ally, and Lincoln has another new alien. Don't miss next time, guys.)
