Author's Note: Well here's the next chapter of Stan 10 as promised.
Sorry for the long delay though.
Life caught up with me.
Now here's the chapter.
So sit back and enjoy it.
Italics: Thinking.
Bold Italics: Thick deep voice.
Previously on Stan 10: It was a depressing and rainy day so everyone was inside the Rust Bucket.
Whilst Max was sleeping due to exhaustion and boredom, the kids were playing on Ben's portable game system.
Following an argument between the kids, Stan transformed into Upgrade and hacked Ben's portable game system.
The other kids then ended up tugging on the game system before they all ended up zapped inside the game because of a bolt of lightning hitting the game system.
As a result, the group of four ended up trapped inside Sumo Slammer Smackdown.
Fighting their way through the levels, the group needed to find the Upgrade icon to escape the virtual world.
During the journey, the group also met Ishiayama and Kenko who were the main characters of the game.
Following a decisive final battle, the group escaped the video game and returned to the real world.
Now having arrived at Universal Studios Hollywood, Stan will have to endure his most embarrassing adventure yet...
Chapter 35: 'Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures.'
It was a warm and cool sunny day in Los Angeles, California as the Sun shined brightly in the Sky.
Currently, the Rust Bucket was parked up near the main entrance to the complex where the iconic Universal globe spun above the lake it was present above.
As groups of tourists and locals flocked into the Citywalk or the Theme park complexes, the Rust Bucket was parked up on a road nearby.
Outside the RV, the engine of the vehicle was smoking before Max sighed and muttered, "I really should update this engine."
Whilst inside the RV, Gwen, Ben and Nibbler were sat down on the side booth and laughing to themselves.
So where was Stan?
Inside the bathroom, Stan adjusted his neat brown hair before he smirked and placed on a pair of black sunglasses over his blue eyes.
"Stay here, I'll be back," Stan happily muttered under his breath doing an impression of the T-800 from Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
Feeling a surge of joy spread through his body, Stan giggled slightly before he happily thought, "Ah... Universal Studios Hollywood, A combination of a theme park and movie studio featuring some of the greatest franchises of Hollywood films."
Removing the sunglasses off his face, Stan shrugged and placed them back on the countertop before he placed his normal black glasses on and walked out of the bathroom.
"Hey, guys, What's so funny?" A confused Stan asked Ben and Gwen who was watching the TV giggling slightly.
"Take a look." Ben snickered to Stan who looked at the TV which was playing an animated show for children.
Looking at the TV screen, Stan noticed three kids playing on at a playpark right before three cartoon villains appeared.
The first one was a robber who wielded a pair of bowling balls with spikey orange hair.
The second one was a wizard who wore purple robes and matching hat then appeared and waved his wand.
The last one was a furry blue and white cat appeared holding a rotten garbage can.
The kids gulped before they screamed and ran off whilst the three villains began ruining the playground.
"Who will protect us from the nefarious deeds of the League of Evil Doom Fiends?!" A narrator's voice then blared out from the TV.
"Okay, it's a kids cartoon. Why are even watching this?" A confused Stan questioned Ben and Gwen.
"You'll find out." Nibbler then bluntly remarked to Stan.
Turning around Stan then froze in shock before his blue eyes widened in alarm.
There on the TV screen was cartoon silhouettes of Upgrade, Four Arms and Wildmutt.
The Four Arms silhouette then leapt forward before the narrator declared, "Handy Buddy!"
"What?!" Stan muttered in disbelief as Nibbler, Ben and Gwen burst out laughing in response.
The robber with the bowling balls then hurled the weapons towards Handy Buddy who caught them quickly with his four arms.
WHOOSH! GRAB!
"Urgh! You'll not be tossing me out of the game anytime soon, Bowling Ball Bandit!" Handy Buddy yelled out with a thick Scottish accent.
The Upgrade figure then moved into the background before the narrator yelled out, "Digital Buddy!"
The wizard then hurled some gumdrops towards Digital Buddy who quickly got stuck under the mess.
SPLAT! SPLOT!
"Gumdrops messing up my feet? You're going down thanks to digital fun, Gumdrop Wizard!" Digital Buddy shouted out in a robotic and eager tone.
Digital Buddy then morphed off from the gumdrops and sprinted towards Gumdrop Wizard.
SPLAT! WHRRR! Slither...
"Doggy Buddy!" The narrator shouted out once again before the Wildmutt Expy roared, "ROAR!"
The cat villain then chuckled and grabbed hold of the rubbish bin before running towards Doggy Buddy.
"Look out laddie! It's the Kitty Litterer!" Handy Buddy warned Doggy Buddy.
Doggy Buddy immediately kicked the ground and sent dirt onto the Kitty Litterer.
WHOOSH! THUNK!
The Kitty Litterer then was then knocked into his rubbish bin with Bowling Ball Bandit and Gumdrop Wizard also trapped in the rubbish bin beaten.
Comical stars then surrounded the trio of villains before the three alien ripoffs walked forward and shook hands together.
"The forces of good and fairness uniting to form... The Super Alien Hero Buddies!" The narrator boldly declared as the cartoon came to an end.
As the adverts then played, Stan's bright blue eyes were stunned with his jaw wide open whilst Ben, Gwen and Nibbler finished laughing.
"So Stan. Is it just me or are those super lame versions of your alien heroes?" Gwen snarkily questioned Stan.
Ben then turned off the tv with the remote before he told Stan, "Don't worry, Stan. It's not that big of a deal."
Stan merely turned around and gave off a glare before he warned them, "Someone's going to pay for ripping off my aliens, especially Upgrade!"
A few moments later outside the RV and near the entrance gate to Universal Studios Hollywood...
Looking around, an enraged Stan then noticed a poster of the Super Hero Alien Buddies group before he scowled.
Grabbing hold of the poster, Stan carefully looked over what company and designer had made the poster.
"Copyright: Tim Dean 2005, All rights reserved?!" Stan muttered under his breath before he ripped up the poster with a furious look on his face.
Stan then stamped on the poster numerous times as his Anger briefly took control over him.
"Whatever jackass thought it was a good idea to rip my aliens off and make money off that should be ashamed of themselves! When I met him... Oh boy... It's gonna get ugly." Stan angrily ranted under his breath.
Wanting to help out his friend, Ben calmly walked over to Stan and reassured him, "Hey Stan. Take it, easy man."
"Tennyson is right. There is no need to be alarmed like this." Nibbler spoke not knowing what copyright law was.
"Uh hello?! You're an alien Nibbler, plus the pair of you would hardly understand what that is." Stan angrily ranted back to Ben.
Ben rolled his green eyes back before Gwen stepped forward and told him, "Copyright laws aside, I can understand why you're angry right now. But don't you think you're going a bit too far?"
"Too far?! Whoever this Tim Dean person is, has blatantly ripped off the aliens from the Omnitrix and made them look like a laughing stock! He's also making money on top of that!" Stan then angrily ranted to Gwen.
Before Gwen could get some sense back into Stan, Max then appeared carrying an oiled rag whilst the Rust Bucket's engine was hissing out steam on the road nearby.
"Just as I thought." Max began before he explained, "It's the distributor. I saw a garage a few blocks back. Let me see if I can get another one."
"What about Universal Studios Hollywood, Grandpa?" Ben questioned Max before Nibbler stated, "It's a once in a lifetime moment for us."
Wiping the rag, Max then chuckled and told the kids who were giving him pleading looks, "You're right. You both have been bugging me all summer to see Kangaroo Commando. Alright, you three get started without me. I'll meet you back at the Universal Globe around 4.00 Pm."
"Yes! We can do Terminator 2-3D: Battle Across Time!" Stan eagerly rambled on before he smiled happily.
"I'm looking forward to doing all the shopping and meeting Betty Boop!" Gwen shouted out just as excited as Stan.
"Well, we're going to meet Kangaroo Commando and do Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride And Jurassic Park: The Ride!" Ben eagerly yelled out with Nibbler's voice being present briefly.
Smiling happily, Max then waved goodbye to the kids before they walked over and managed to get inside the theme park.
Once they passed through the entrance gates, the trio noticed a large cardboard cut of Kangaroo Commando with cartoonish text that stated, 'Meet Abel North! TV's Kangaroo Commando!'
The Kangaroo Commando suit was a brown uniform that had a yellow kangaroo silhouette in the middle with matching black briefs, a black belt with dark brown pockets and yellow gloves.
The suit also had a black cap with two holes for eyes with a large yellow K being the insignia for his costume with his black belt also having that cosmetic feature.
"Tch. I still don't get what the big deal is about some old TV actor jumping around in his underwear." Gwen muttered to Ben and Nibbler.
Ben then leapt in the air and did a martial arts kick before punching the air whilst Stan rolled his eyes in response to Ben's antics.
"We wouldn't expect you to appreciate Kangaroo Commando. But we've watched the show ever since we were just a kid." Ben explained before he coughed and said, "Uh, I meant I, not we since Nibbler wasn't inside me then."
"So I take it he's the one that was your favourite superhero as a kid? Fair enough." Stan mused to Ben having figured out what Ben meant.
"You got that right! He inspired us both to be superheroes!" Ben then blurted out loudly before he froze and giggled slightly.
Knowing that wasn't good, Stan turned around and spotted something rather embarrassing.
It was a person dressed up in a Handy Buddy costume with his mouth and face visible from the outfit.
Frowning, Stan then crossed his arms whilst the man in the costume blurted out in a fake Scottish accent, "I'm Handy Buddy! Watch me now..."
The Handy Buddy actor then tumbled onto the floor.
Thunk!
"Seriously? Four Arms doesn't dance around like that." Stan muttered under his breath before he helped the Handy Buddy actor get up from the floor.
"Who's Four Arms? I'm Handy Buddy me boyo!" The Handy Buddy actor informed Stan before he held out his index arm and said, "Shake!"
"No thanks." Stan coldly replied before he rejoined Ben and Gwen who was facing a brick wall where a poster of a young man who had bright ginger hair and a goatee along with wearing a smart blue shirt and matching trousers was present standing in between Handy Buddy, Digital Buddy and Doggy Buddy.
The poster also had a bright cartoonish text that stated, 'Meet Tim Dean... The creator of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures today!'
"Meet Tim Dean, creator of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures," Nibbler muttered to the kids before Ben smirked and asked Stan, "Want to get an autograph?"
Feeling annoyed, Stan then spotted the Handy Buddy actor walk past before a pair of actors wearing a Doggy Buddy costume and a Digital Buddy walked by.
"Have a Super Alien Hero Buddy day!" The Handy Buddy actor yelled out towards a group of nearby kids who then began cheering happily.
"Oh for crying out loud... This is so embarrassing." Stan complained to Ben, Gwen and Nibbler who had slight grins on their faces.
A few moments later in the Universal Studios Upper Lot...
"Yippie!" A young kid around five years old happily declared once he received a signed autograph from Tim Dean.
As the kid ran off, Tim Dean who was sat down on a table with two Universal security guards near him yawned and said in a bored tone, "Thanks for watching. Next!"
Stan then casually strolled past all the people who were waiting patiently in the long line before he barged in front of a mother who was with a young son.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" The outraged mother demanded Stan who ignored her and promptly ripped her son's autograph of Digital Buddy into shreds.
RIP!
Immediately, the kid began crying with everyone in the queue line giving a variety of looks towards Stan.
"Hey! That's a Tim Dean original!" A furious Tim criticised Stan for his behaviour.
Crossing his arms, Stan then bluntly told Tim, "An original piece of work? You ripped off those alien heroes that have been appearing all over the news recently! Plus you broke the copyright law as well."
"Prove it." Tim Dean mocked Stan back.
"Well, since you created those characters. You were the copyright author from the start correct?" Stan questioned Tim who shrugged back and said, "Yeah I did."
"Ah... But some of those characters you made previously started showing up all over the country recently. So techinically you took the designs of those alien heroes and you have ripped them off and turned into you own creations which they were not. Who's laughing now?" Stan bluntly explained his point to Tim before he smirked.
"Take him away, Digital Buddy!" Tim yelled back in response.
An actor wearing the Digital Buddy costume then grabbed hold of Stan's shirt collar before he was dragged off.
"You're a fraud, Tim Dean! Digital Buddy's real name is Upgrade! And he's not an alien that prances around! And why's Four Arms Scottish?! That doesn't even make any sense!" Stan angrily ranted on catching everyone's attention.
WHOOSH! THUNK!
Stan was then tossed out of the convention before Tim Dean told everyone, "Sorry about that. Now next person, please."
Helping Stan up from the ground, Gwen remarked to him, "Something tells me that guy isn't open for constructive criticism."
"Then maybe it's time for a little destructive criticism." Stan coldly replied to Gwen.
Moving away from the others, Stan looked over his shoulder and walked behind a Digital Buddy state before the kids heard him say, "Upgrade."
BEEP! FLASH!
A bright flash of green light then occurred from behind the figure as Stan grinned and embraced his transformation into his favourite alien.
The Omnitrix sank into his right arm as a smiling Stan embraced the digital and electronic change as his skin morphed into a thick black metallic substance with green wiring present slowly covering his body quickly.
His hands morphed into larger but simpler hands as did his feet.
He then turned around as the substance covered his body as his face slowly changed into a bright singular green eye whilst his clothes morphed into a white jumpsuit that covered the majority of his lower body.
To finish off, the green lines that connected to his eye morphed on his body like circuits as Upgrade posed with his eye smiling with the Omnitrix symbol glowing on his chest.
FLASH!
Appearing from behind the Digital Buddy statute, the Omnitrix symbol on Upgrade's chest then beeped out, "Galvanic Mecharmorph DNA sample activated."
Upgrade then charged up his bright green eye only for something to blow up behind him.
BEEP... CRAKA-BOOM!
"Stan!" Ben warned him before Upgrade said, "What? It wasn't me."
"Look over there!" Gwen then yelled at Upgrade causing everyone to turn around and gasp in shock.
Dangling from the Universal show stage on a platform was Kangaroo Commando aka Abel North who was struggling to get onto the building.
"Isn't that Kangaroo Commando?!" A shocked Upgrade asked Ben who yelled out with Nibbler's voice saying, "Yes! We've got to save him!"
Looking at Gwen and Ben, Upgrade told them both, "I should be able to handle this on my own. Is that alright?"
"You go and help out Kangaroo Commando. We'll join you shortly." Gwen advised Upgrade who nodded back and called out, "Stinkfly!"
FLASH!
Emerging from the flash of green light, Stinkfly flapped his wings before he flew off upwards towards the burning show stage whilst his Omnitrix symbol beeped out, "Lepidopterran DNA Sample activated."
WHOOSH! ZIP!
Once Stinkfly flew over to the Universal Studios Hollywood Show Stage, Stinkfly landed on the ground and called out, "Heatblast!"
FLASH!
Blinking just as fast, Heatblast slowly looked upwards before his Omnitrix symbol beeped out, "Pyronite DNA Sample activated."
Smiling slightly, Heatblast then placed his hands together and absorbed the intense heat from the burning structures thinking, "Hopefully this doesn't backfire on me..."
Manipulating his hands, Heatblast carefully formed a fire tornado and grabbed hold of Kangaroo Commando with the fiery tornado before he was gently placed on the ground near Heatblast.
BLAM! THWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Stunned, Kangaroo Commando shook his head briefly before he heard Heatblast ask him, "Are you alright Abel?"
"What the?! Who the hell are you?" Kangaroo Commando demanded Heatblast who shrugged and told him, "A Pyronite from Pyros and now I'm gonna be someone else. Spitter!"
FLASH!
Shocked by what he saw, Kangaroo Commando stepped back before Spitter then inhaled his cheeks and fired out a massive blast of acidic spray from his mouth directly at the burning fire.
Rumble... HISS! SPLAT!
The massive flames were then extinguished before Kangaroo Commando crossed his arms and sarcastically told Spitter, "So who exactly are you again?"
"I already told you. I'm one of many alien species that has visited this planet to help out its citizens." Spitter truthfully explained to Kangaroo Commando.
"Oh really? Then why are you trying to ruin my stun show?!" Kangaroo Commando ranted at Spitter.
Confused, the young Sphoeriod looked behind Kangaroo Commando and saw a large colourful banner with the Universal globe on it that stated, 'Universal Studios Hollywood proudly presents... The Kangaroo Commando Stunt Spectacular! Now running for a limited amount of time!"
Spitter also noticed a variety of audience members sat down on the wooden bleachers staring at Spitter and Kangaroo Commando in confusion and awe.
As the audience began talking, Spitter nervously scratched his head with his fish-live claws and told Kangaroo Commando, "Sorry... I should have been more alert."
Kangaroo Commando then glared and walked forward to Spitter who slowly moved back and told him, "Look... Maybe we can calmly talk about this without having to resort to mindless violence?"
A few moments later...
SMASH! CRASH! WHAM! BLAM!
After Heatblast attempted to relight the show on fire, (And nearly killing some audience members in the process who were saved thanks to Ben, Nibbler and Gwen) Kangaroo Commando was fighting Stan.
Recovering from the wooden bleachers that he had been thrown into, Blitzwolfer groggily emerged from the debris and shook his head.
"Urgh... That was so unnecessary." Blitzwolfer groggily complained before he yelled out, "Hey! It was just an accident! Heatblast didn't mean to do that!"
Nearby were some shocked tourists that Gwen and Ben had managed to rescue from the wooden bleachers.
"So... Great show, huh?" Ben questioned the tourists before Gwen remarked, "So realistic, huh? Hey. I think we'll be able to see better from over there."
The group then ran off from the battle as Kangaroo Commando then used a pair of jumping boots to leap over the flames Heatblast created before he used a Fire Extinguisher to put out the flames Heatblast created.
PHWOOSH! SPLAT!
With his mouth full of foam, Blitzwolfer spat out the foam before he heard Kangaroo Commando declare, "Who put you up to this? Tim Dean?"
"Are you that stupid?" Blitzwolfer snarkily joked back before he opened his mouth and fired out a green sonic blast.
HOWL! WHOOSH! BLAST!
Kangaroo Commando was briefly stunned by the howl before he took out a grappling pistol and fired a piece of rope at Blitzwolfer's legs.
WHOOSH! GRAB! THUNK!
Blitzwolfer then fell onto the ground before Kangaroo Commando dragged him down the wooden bleachers.
"Isn't it enough for him to mock my TV show off the air with that stupid cartoon of his?! Now he has to ruin my live shows as well?!" Kangaroo Commando angrily ranted to Blitzwolfer.
"I'm not working for Tim Dean!" Blitzwolfer protested back before yelled out, "Rath!"
FLASH!
Emerging from the flash of green light, Rath's anger took over him before he roared and ripped the rope with his thick claws whilst the Omnitrix beeped out, "Appoplexian DNA Sample activated."
SLICE!
"RARGHH! RATH!" The dumb Appoplexian roared out before he angrily ranted, "LET ME TELL YA SOMETHING KANGEROO COMMANDO! RATH DOESN'T WORK WITH TIM DEAN!"
Rath then grabbed hold of the cable around him, dragged it back and smashed the grappling pistol onto the ground.
GRAB! SMASH!
Grinning against Rath, Tim Dean chuckled and muttered, "Alright... Now we're giving the public what they want!"
Rath then heard the crowd cheering loudly for him before he heard cheering from onlookers and spectators.
"Kick his ass alien!" "Go Kangeroo Commando!" "Jolly good show!" Various people were loudly calling out from the stands.
"Oh... Rath gets it now. This is Hollywood and people want entertainment... Well, Rath will give the public what they want!" Rath dumbly rambled on before he smirked and charged back into the fight.
As Kangaroo Commando and Rath exchanged blows, Ben and Nibbler were cheering loudly for Kangeroo Commando whilst Gwen was cheering for Stan.
Meanwhile back with Tim Dean...
As Tim signed an autograph of Doggy Buddy, he told the young girl, "Thanks for watching."
BOOM! Rumble... BEEP! WHIRRR! BLAM!
Looking upwards, Tim and everyone else nearby had spotted a series of green digital laser beams blasting upwards from the Universal Studios Hollywood Show Stage.
On the arena roof, Upgrade fired digital green beams from his eye directly at Kangeroo Commando who swiftly dodged them with the grappling gun that he was swinging onto.
BEEP... FLASH! BLAM! WHOOSH! BLAST! THUNK!
"HOORAY! YEAH! ALRIGHT! WAHOOO!" The crowd happily cheered for the two combatants.
Kangaroo Commando then landed on a water tower and did a bring it on gesture to Upgrade.
WHOOSH! THUNK!
Grinning, Upgrade then charged towards Kangaroo Commando only for the Commando to jump over Upgrade's attack.
Immediately, Upgrade was sent flying into the water below as he yelled out, "WHY ME?! ARGH!"
WHOOSH! SPLASH!
Landing in the water below, the crowd went insane with claps and cheering whilst Kangaroo Commando smiled and told the crowd, "All in a day's work for this superhero!"
Kangaroo Commando then bowed down whilst Upgrade slowly emerged from the other side of the pool...
Now soaking wet.
SPLAT! Slither... Splosh...
Morphing back to his normal form once out of the water, Upgrade sighed before he coughed and mumbled, "Urgh... Stupid lakes of water... I hate it... So cold..."
The Omnitrix symbol on Upgrade's chest then bright red before Stan was engulfed in a flash of bright red light.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! FLASH!
"Warning! Omni-Energy supply is low. Recharge Mode activated." The Omnitrix flatly beeped out whilst a soaked Stan looked around and noticed he was behind the wooden bleachers.
Ben and Gwen then noticed Stan before Nibbler sarcastically asked him, "Are you okay Stanley? You seem rather wet."
Rolling his eyes, Stan then told the three, "I'm fine... Just fine... Well except for the fact, I need a dryer immediately."
"So? By the looks of things, you just got to be Kangeroo Commando's partner!" Ben eagerly informed him.
Stan merely sighed and thought to himself, "I wonder if anyone else has been in this same situation as I am?"
"More like his punching bag." Gwen snarkily joked back to Ben and Stan as the kids watched the crowd cheer on loudly whilst Kangaroo Commando continued bowing.
Ten minutes later after Stan had been dried off near the exit to the Universal Studios Show Stage...
Kangaroo Commando had finished signing an autograph of himself along with a picture of his actor self Abel North to a grinning Ben.
"There you are, young man. Now is there anything else I can do for you?" Kangaroo Commando questioned Ben.
"Can we take a picture together?" Ben eagerly questioned Kangaroo Commando with Nibbler wanting that picture as well.
"Of course. Now then, remember that Kangaroo Commando isn't so much a role as a way of life. I do all my stunts, and build all my gadgets and special effects." Kangaroo Commando explained to a smiling Ben who bluntly told him, "Yeah, we're your biggest fan. So we know everything!"
Kangaroo Commando merely smirked back as Ben and he took a picture together whilst Stan and Gwen watched on.
"Urgh! I can't believe we're missing the Rocky Horror Picture Show!" Gwen muttered under her breath flipping through a park map of the complex.
"Let Ben have this moment Gwen. Then we'll do some rides." Stan replied to Gwen watching Ben move over to them with a large smile on his face.
Before Ben could reply, Tim Dean furiously walked around the corner with Digital Buddy, Handy Buddy and the Doggy Buddy actors following him behind.
"North! What were you thinking?! Stealing Digital Buddy to try and save your pathetic stunt show?!" Tim demanded Kangaroo Commando.
"Me?! You sent them to try and intimidate me!" Abel bluntly yelled back at Tim in response.
"Listen to me, old man! Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures will bury you." Tim warned Abel placing his finger on his chest before he remarked, "And I'll be there kicking you in the last mound of dirt!"
Ben was about to say something before Stan and Gwen glared at him not wanting the truth about Stan to be revealed.
"Fine... Do you want to prove how superior your show is to mine? Bring it on." Abel coldly warned Tim who huffed and then walked off with the mascot aliens following him.
Abel rolled his eyes before he continued signing autographs to young kids and fans of the franchise he was a part of.
"Well, that went well." Gwen pointed out to the boys who shrugged back.
"Anyway, can we do some rides now? Terminator 2: 3D should be starting soon." Stan questioned Gwen.
"Okay fair enough. Let's do that then." Ben bluntly muttered to Stan.
A few hours later near the exit to Jurassic Park: The Ride...
"OH HELL YEAH! THAT WAS AWESOME!" Ben shouted out before Nibbler briefly took over Ben's voice near the end soaking wet from head to toe.
Walking near Ben, Gwen adjusted her wet red hair to remove the water from it before she muttered, "I agree with Ben, but I still don't understand why we had to shield Stan from the water."
"What?" A clean and dry Stan questioned the other kids before he pointed out, "I got the dry seat in the middle and you two didn't."
Rolling his green eyes, Ben then told Gwen and Stan, "Right then. Now that we've done rides and shows you want to see, We want to do Kangaroo Commando: The Ride. So we should hurry up. The line's probably like a mile long."
"Yeah, I can handle another rollercoaster. They're not that bad." Stan replied to Ben as the group headed to the roller coaster.
Nearly ten minutes later in the station for Kangaroo Commando: The Ride...
After waiting in a rather short line for the Intamin rollercoaster, Ben, Gwen and Stan watched as the roller coaster train pulled up into the station.
Moving into the ride cart, Ben and Stan got the front seat whilst Gwen got in the seat behind them both.
"So... Looks like no one want's to hop aboard and ride with your hero." Gwen nervously informed Stan and Ben.
"Well, they don't know what they're missing." Ben cockily replied to Gwen right before the train moved out of the station and climbed up a 100ft lift hill.
As the train moved up the lift hill, the kids looked around and saw the Universal Studios Hollywood resort complex along with the nearby tourist landmarks including the Warner Bros Hollywood Studio Tour.
Peering over the track, Stan noticed how high they were along with seeing a large balloon of Handy Buddy floating in the air for the resort.
The train then slowly peered over the top of the lift right before the chain detached on the rollercoaster train.
"Geronimo!" Stan loudly shouted out as Ben placed his hands upwards and yelled out, "ROLLERCOASTERS ROCK!"
The train rocketed down the first drop reaching speeds of 55mph before it entered the indoor section of the ride passing underneath a large animatronic version of Kangaroo Commando who's robotic arms waved up and down.
Narrowly missing the structure, the rollercoaster then entered a large vertical loop which caused the kids to be weightless briefly.
"ARGH!" Gwen screamed in fear enjoying the experience whilst Ben and Stan laughed loudly as the train went back inside and performed a swooping helix above a few glowing pools of fake lava with fake laser beams also being fired randomly.
WHOOSH! ZIP! RUMBLE!
As the train dived downwards, Ben laughed and told Gwen and Stan, "No way he could come up with a ride like this! WAHOOO! These special effects rock!"
"Yeah, that does make sense." Stan calmly muttered back to Ben right before Gwen shouted out, "Huh! The track's destroyed!"
Looking ahead, the kid's eye's widened in shock and fear right before Ben loudly yelled out, "OH CRAP!"
Immediately, Stan began fiddling with the Omnitrix which beeped several times still recharging.
Beep... BEEP! Beep...
"Um... Now would be a really good time to go, hero, Stan!" Gwen shouted out to Stan.
Rolling his blue eyes, a panicked Stan yelled, "I can't! The Omnitrix is still recharging!"
"Brace yourselves!" Nibbler then warned the kids as they braced for impact right before...
WHOOSH! CLUNK!
As the front train car dangled over the broken track, the car grunted and groaned before the kids turned around and noticed Kangaroo Commando having used a rope to prevent the car from plummeting down.
"Kangaroo Commando! Man, are we glad to see you!" Ben then spoke out praising his favourite hero.
Nodding back, Kangaroo Commando then tied the rope around a large metallic pole before he activated his jumping boots which generated a pair of large skis before he jumped down onto the front train car.
WHOOSH! THUD! WHOOSH! THUD!
"Let's see what we can do about those safety bars." Kangaroo Commando eagerly informed the kids before he grabbed hold of a Blowtorch from his utility belt and used it to melt the safety bars.
HISS! Groan...
Kangaroo Commando then detached the bar from the train right before a woman screamed out, "OH GOD! SOMEONE HELP ME! I'M STUCK!"
Looking up, Kangaroo Commando noticed a young woman dangling from the track with no way out.
"Fear not! Kangaroo Commando is here to save the day!" Kangaroo Commando replied before he used his grappling pistol to fire a rope upwards at the track.
WHOOSH! THUNK!
Once Kangaroo Commando vanished, the Omnitrix on Stan's right arm glowed green and beeped loudly.
Looking at Ben, Stan smiled and told Ben, "Want to help Kangaroo Commando save people Ben?"
"Yeah! Let's do this..." A smirking Ben muttered back in excitement.
Nibbler then slowly overtook Ben's body before Stan called out, "Four Arms!"
Splat... BEEP! Slither... FLASH! Squelch...
At the same time outside Kangaroo Commando: The Ride...
A crowd of people cheered loudly for Kangaroo Commando as he landed on the ground with the woman he had saved.
"Oh thank you for saving me!" The woman praised Kangaroo Commando who smirked back proud of his rescue.
Creak... Groan... SNAP!
A piece of rollercoaster track above the crowd then snapped and fell above the crowd as Kangaroo Commando braced himself when...
However...
WHOOSH! KA-THUNK!
Looking up, the group of civilians then noticed Nibbler and Four Arms holding up the large piece of track with their strong muscles.
"Hey! Need an extra hand? We've got two." Nibbler jokingly questioned Kangaroo Commando.
"Just help me would you?" Four Arms asked Nibbler who rolled his white blank eyes and helped the Tetramand lift the track up in the air.
As the crowd began cheering, Kangaroo Commando scowled slightly before he asked the two aliens, "Hmm. You two must be one of those new animatronic devices."
"Were aliens from another planet." Four Arms began before Nibbler finished, "That's what we've been trying to tell you."
SMASH! CRASH! Rumble...
More parts of the rollercoaster track began falling apart with another train of people being stranded on the track.
"HELP US!" "WE'RE GONNA DIE!" "MOMMY!" "OH S_" The various people from the ride train called out.
"Well stand back. These kids need my help!" Kangaroo Commando promptly told Nibbler and Four Arms before he activated his Jumping boots and jumped up onto the track.
WHOOSH! THUD!
"Let's go!" Four Arms ordered Nibbler who both placed the rollercoaster track piece on the ground and stomped after Kangaroo Commando.
As Kangaroo Commando jumped onto the back car, Nibbler and Four Arms lept on the front end of the train car with each person grabbing one of three trapped people in the train car.
With each person holding onto a child, Four Arms and Nibbler prepared to jump down right before a kid told Four Arms, "Thanks, Handy Buddy!"
"My name is Four Arms. Not Handy Buddy." Four Arms gently replied to the kid before both aliens jumped off the rollercoaster train and landed on the large Handy Buddy inflatable which popped and deflated.
POP! Rumble... THUNK!
Once both aliens landed on the ground, they placed the kids back on the floor before the crowd went wild for them both.
"HOORAY! YEAH! ALRIGHT! WAHOOO!" The crowd happily cheered for the three heroes.
Nibbler simply placed his hands in the air smugly and cheered back whilst Four Arms calmly thanked the people around him whilst Kangaroo Commando sadly looked on.
"You know. We could team up and be partners!" Nibbler then suggested to Kangaroo Commando.
Placing his hands on his hips, Kangaroo Commando told Nibbler, "Tried that once with Marsiupal Man. Until I caught him taking all my gadgets in his pouch. I go solo."
Kangaroo Commando then walked off from Nibbler and Four Arms whilst Gwen then joined them both.
"Why is he so sad? It's not like this is another stunt show." Four Arms questioned Gwen and Nibbler.
Placing her hand on her chin, Gwen then suggested, "I'm not sure... Hmm... Doesn't this accident and rescue seem a little, I don't know, convenient?"
"Convenient? That does sound interesting." Nibbler then muttered under his breath whilst Four Arms remained silent thinking, "Something seems fishy about this... I wonder if..."
"This was no accident!" Kangaroo Commando then shouted out interrupting Four Arms who shook his head and glanced at Kangaroo Commando who was kneeling near a piece of rubble.
Holding up a white glove, Kangaroo Commando told everyone, "Someone rigged this ride with explosives!"
The crowd then began murmuring amongst each other whilst Kangaroo Commando grabbed hold of an evidence bag and placed the white glove inside it.
Turning around and showcasing the glove to everyone in the crowd and remarking, "Someone who worse this ink-stained glove, the kind used by animators..."
Immediately after that line was said, Kangaroo Commando and Nibbler then blurted out, "Tim Dean!" "TIM DEAN!"
Rolling his four eyes, Four Arms then muttered, "Stan!" And transformed back to normal in a flash of bright green light.
FLASH!
"Host DNA sample activated." The Omnitrix beeped out from Stan's right arm whilst he felt dizzy briefly and muttered, "Urgh... Why me?"
Ignoring Stan's post-transformation headache, Gwen crossed her arms and asked Kangaroo Commando, "Oh come, he just happens to find a glove?"
"Yeah. Because he's a crime-fighting genius. And we will be his partner." Nibbler snarkily muttered to Gwen before he stepped forward and jumped when...
Splat... Slither... Squelch...
Nibbler then morphed back inside Ben before he landed on the ground back first.
WHOOSH! THUNK!
"Ow!" Ben angrily complained before he complained to Nibbler, "Why'd you do that?!"
"Just to troll you." Nibbler bluntly remarked back before he chuckled darkly.
Ben frowned before Gwen then cockily told Ben, "How proud he must be."
Twenty minutes later in The Universal Studios Upper Lot...
A frustrated Tim Dean was arguing with Abel North with several security guards surrounding the two.
"Why would I blow up your stupid ride? It doesn't make any sense!" Tim furiously shouted at Abel.
"So Universal Studios could tear it down and build your stupid kiddy ride!" Abel angrily yelled back before he pulled back a curtain.
Behind the curtain was a series of cartoon-style cutouts of the characters interacting with riders before the wham shot was shown.
Two wooden crates of explosives were present.
Shocked, the security guards restrained Tim who pointed out, "Those aren't mine! I mean... the sketches are, but not the explosives!"
"Gentlemen, I believe we've caught the culprit red-handed," Abel informed the security guards who nodded back.
"Come on buddy. Were going to have a word with L.A. police about your destructive actions here." One of the security guards coldly informed Tim.
Ben, Gwen and Stan then arrived on the scene and watched him being hauled away.
Ben was smiling slightly whilst Stan muttered under his breath, "Sure I wanted revenge... But this may be going too far."
Curious, Gwen then noticed the glove in the plastic bag and realized something important.
Tim Dean had been framed.
Immediately Gwen grabbed hold of the plastic bag from Abel's grasp and shouted out, "Wait! That glove can't possibly belong to Tim Dean!"
Everyone froze in shock before Ben asked Gwen, "And how exactly is he not to blame?"
"It's a right-handed glove. Dean did all those sketches left-handed." Gwen told everyone present.
"Hey?! Who's side are you on?" Stan then bluntly questioned Gwen in anger.
Ignoring the kids, Abel stormed forward and shouted out, "That doesn't prove anything! You committed the crime!"
Breaking free of the security guards, Tim yelled back, "Oh please! Even with the weak villains on your old show could have pulled off a far better frame job!"
"Oh really?!" Stan pointed out waltzing forward before he suggested, "You want to talk about weak villains? Bowling Ball Bandit? Kitty Litterier? Those are some of the worst villains in pop culture history."
Furious with what Stan and Abel told him, Tim finally snapped.
"THAT'S IT! I'M NOT TAKING ANYMORE CRAP FROM BOTH OF YOU!" Tim roared out in anger before he charged towards Abel and punched him right in the face.
PUNCH! SMACK!
Abel's face gained a small bruise causing him to freeze and angrily glare back at Tim right before his eyes widened in anger.
"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING YOU DAMN FRUAD!" Abel shouted back before he charged forward and began punching Tim.
Soon the two were brawling it out on the floor as the security guards soon intervened to break up the violent brawl.
"WE NEED BACKUP! WE'VE GOT A CHICKEN FIGHT GOING DOWN HERE!" One of the security guards yelled his radio as Tim and Abel continued fighting each other.
SMACK! PUNCH! CRACK! WHAM!
Ignoring the ongoing brawl, Nibbler then told Gwen, "Nice going, Gwen. We could have put that slimeball animator away for good if you hadn't opened your big mouth."
"Didn't North say he handles all his special effects? Including explosives?" Gwen bluntly reminded Stan and Ben.
"Woah... Gwen's right!" Stan realized in shock before he pointed out, "But why would Abel North blow up his ride?"
"I don't know why... But he's an actor that would do anything to save his show. We need to keep an eye on him." Gwen remarked to the boys.
"Oh, man... We've got a bad feeling about this." Ben then nervously informed Stan and Gwen.
Ten minutes later in the sky above Universal Studios Hollywood...
As Abel North walked away from the Upper lot and down to the Lower lot, Stinkfly hovered in the air with Gwen and Ben riding on his back.
WHOOSH! ZIP!
"Hmm... He doesn't seem to be doing anything odd." Stinkfly informed Ben and Gwen.
"This is a major waste of time. We should be trailing the animator guy." Ben remarked to the others before Nibbler suggested, "Because if that's not a crime. We don't know what is."
"Were making the right choice here," Gwen informed Ben and Stinkfly who both noticed a large series of TV monitors showcase the Super Hero Alien Buddies cartoon.
"Hey, folks, don't forget we'll be premiering a brand new episode of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures right here on the big screens of Universal Studios Hollywood!" An announcer then informed the tourists inside the resort.
"Really? I've got a premiere for you." Stinkfly angrily muttered before he opened up his mouth and spat green goop at the screens before he flew off.
WHOOSH! SPLAT! ZIP!
"Real mature, Stinkbreath." Gwen mocked Stinkfly who told her, "They had it coming for mocking me earlier."
"Look! North's heading for some kind of room? Take us down there." Ben ordered Stinkfly.
"On it... We'll..." Stinkfly muttered before the Omnitrix symbol on his head began beeping red.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! FLASH!
Emerging from the flash of bright red light now back to normal, the Omnitrix on Stan's right arm then beeped out, "Warning! Omni-Energy supply is low. Recharge Mode activated."
"Me and my big mouth," Stan whispered under his breath before the group plunged downwards to the ground.
"ARGHH!" Everyone screamed plummeting down to the ground right before...
WHEEE! KA-SPLOSH!
As the group crashed into the pool of water surrounding the Show Stage Arena, Ben and Gwen quickly resurfaced.
Coughing out water, Gwen then asked Ben, "Where's Stan?!"
SPLASH!
"NOOOOO! I WON'T GO IN THERE AGAIN!" A panicking Stan screamed out as he quickly scrambled out of the water on the other side of the Show Stage.
Ben and Gwen sighed in relief before they swam over to the other side off the Show Stage and joined Stan on land who was frantically drying himself off.
"GAH! WET! SOAKED! BAD!" Stan frantically muttered scared of having been in the water again.
Rolling her green eyes, Gwen then took out her spellbook from her pocket before she muttered, "Aervoapa!"
BZZZT! ZAP! WHOOSH!
Immediately, Stan, Ben and Gwen was free of being soaked and were completely dry after a bright flash of purple energy surrounded them briefly.
"What the?! How did you do that Gwen?!" A surprised Ben questioned a smug Gwen who placed her spellbook in her back pocket.
"Not all spells are combat based, some are just useful to dry people off." Gwen snarkily joked talking to Ben and Nibbler.
Stan simply smiled back and told Gwen, "Thanks for helping out there as always with your unique magical talent."
Gwen smiled also smiled back with a small red tint appearing on her cheeks thinking, "Stan can be so heartwarming and cute... I..."
"HEY, YOU KIDS! GET OUT OF THE WATER! THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY!" A nearby security guard then shouted out from the wooden bleachers interrupting Gwen's daydream.
"Quick! This way!" Stan ordered Ben and Gwen who quickly ran after him away from the security guard.
The three kids then ran out from the stage into a wooden door and out on the other side.
Once the kids ran through the door, Ben closed it before they ran over to a nearby hedge and hid behind it.
"Sssh... We need to wait until he's passed us." Gwen whispered to Ben and Stan who remained silent.
WHAM!
The door was then slammed open by the security guard who mumbled under his breath, "Those troublemakers couldn't have gone far..."
The security guard then ran off leaving the kids behind on their own who all sighed in relief.
"Okay... Let's move." Stan informed the others before they sneaked off and hid near a wall.
Looking around to see if the coast was clear, Ben heard people talking from an open window.
"This has gone too far!" Someone muttered out from the building.
Curious, Ben, Gwen and Stan moved closer to the window and noticed Abel talking to someone.
"This has to stop now before someone get's hurt!" Abel muttered under his breath walking around the room.
"Who's he talking to?" Ben questioned the others before Gwen remarked, "Himself?"
"No... He's got to be talking to someone were not seeing." Stan pointed out to the others.
"You don't tell me what to do!" A hostile voice then warned Abel scaring the kids slightly.
As the kids stepped back, the security guard chasing them then found them and dragged the three of them by their shirt collars.
"Bout time I found you, troublemakers. Now come with me!" The security guard bluntly told the shocked kids.
A few moments later...
The kids were shoved out of the backstage area and into the main plaza where the security guard told them, "If I ever catch you three sneaking around again, you're out of the resort!"
The security guard then walked off leaving the stunned kids behind before Nibbler pointed out, "There is something majorly weird about North. He was arguing with himself."
"Well, maybe he was just practising lines for his show or something," Ben said defending the actions of his favourite fictional superhero.
"I'm sorry Ben. But it would seem that your icon is not the hero. But the villain." Stan sadly remarked back to his best friend.
Twenty minutes later in the Lower Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood...
The group was casually walking through the Lower Lot ready to go home.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Universal Studios Hollywood is proud to present a world premiere episode off..." The announcer stated before the various monitors around the resort then gained static before the footage changed.
Instead of a cartoon, the footage now showcased a dangling Abel who was tied upside down above a boiling cauldron of acidic chemicals.
As the crowd began murmuring with security guards contacting each other, the kids looked at each other with a determined look.
"How original... Hanging over a flaming vat of deadly chemicals?" Gwen snarkily pointed out having seen everything by now.
"Okay, guys. You know the drill by now." Stan remarked to Ben and Gwen who nodded back and activated their powers.
Splat... BZZZT! Squelch... ZAP! Slither...
As Gwen's hands glowed pink with Mana energy and Ben's hands became covered with green Symbiote colouring, Stan activated the Omnitrix and tapped down the core becoming engulfed in a flash of bright green light.
BEEP... FLASH!
As the Omnitrix core shrunk down into his right arm, light black fur slowly grew out from his arm and slowly moved up the rest of his body.
With the black fur growing on his Human body, Stan didn't grow in size unlike most of his alien transformations.
Stan's Human features slowly vanished as his hands morphed into black furry hands with faint brown furry stripes going across the fur with the hands having four fingers and one thumb as brown gloves formed over the hands with his black arms being exposed bare.
Next, his feet morphed with Stan's trainers vanishing to have been replaced by flat bobcat-like feet which had two small claws growing on each side.
The feet were then covered by a pair of black combat boots which had a brown striped line running across on the back of each glove similar to some of the other aliens wearing clothing Stan could turn into.
Following this, on his back, a black feline-like tail with a light black ball of fur then grew from his back and curved upwards slightly.
With his fur growth now complete, Stan's face morphed into a bobcat-like face which had a bobcat-like nose which was light brown with his mouth remaining the same but growing to the sides slightly.
Also, two large pointy ears that had faint brown furry stripes in the fur then sprouted from his head as two deep blue eyes with large black pupils and two brown bushy eyebrows stared at the camera with his head being bare revealing black fur that was pointed upwards in a wild and unruly fashion almost like a haircut design.
Following this, an armoured jumpsuit then morphed on the alien similar to what Four Arms and Diamondhead wore as it covered the Lombax's body with a hole in the bottom near his trousers for his tail.
The Omnitrix symbol then morphed on Gadget Cat's chest beneath his face as the main transformation finished.
Observing his new body, the bobcat-like alien noticed that something was missing before a weapon fell on the ground before him.
Grabbing hold of the Omni-Wrench, Gadget Cat swung the weapon and tossed it over his back before he stared proudly at the camera.
FLASH!
As the green light faded, Gadget Cat smirked before he noticed something odd with Ben and Gwen.
"HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!" A panicking Tim yelled out running for his life from...
Kangaroo Commando himself.
Using his jumping boots, Kangaroo Commando then kidnapped Tim and bounced off from the scene.
WHOOSH! THUD!
"Kangaroo Commando?" Gwen muttered before she asked Gadget Cat and Ben, "Wait. How can North be in two places at once?"
"This is confusing." Gadget Cat snarkily joked before he told Ben and Gwen, "Follow me! We're getting to the bottom of this as a team."
Nodding, Ben and Gwen followed Gadget Cat who then summoned the Shock Blaster using his Quick Select Ability.
WHOOSH! ZAP!
Holding the futuristic shotgun, Gadget Cat soon led the group of three towards a large warehouse used for storming film props and equipment known as 'Backlot Warehouse 6.'
As the group approached the warehouse door, Ben smirked and told Gadget Cat and Gwen, "Allow us to open the door."
Ben then held out his arms as Nibbler took control of the hands and morphed them into large green fists before he pulled open the wooden door.
SPLAT! THUD! Groan...
Once the group stepped inside the warehouse, they noticed that the warehouse had a series of huge boiling cauldrons of acid and industrial equipment with massive and destructive flames tearing the building apart.
WHOOSH! BLAST! BOOM! Rumble...
"The whole building's on fire! We've got to extinguish the flames!" Gwen then bluntly informed the others before she aimed out both her hands and yelled, "Meena Foh!"
Icey beams of frozen mana energy then erupted from Gwen's hands as she began putting out the fires with Ben firing tendril blasts from his hands to help put out the fire.
BZZZT! SPLAT! WHOOSH! SLITHER! FREEZE!
As Ben and Gwen put out the fires, Gadget Cat then used his Quick Select ability and summoned another new weapon to help him out.
WHOOSH! ZAP!
The weapon was a long blue rifle that had a large barrel with a left-hand grip and a series of tubes on the weapon with a large nozzle for the weapon.
What was the weapon?
It was a freezing gun known as the Liquid Nitrogen Gen.
WHOOSH! FREEZE!
Unleashing the frozen Nitrogen from the gun, Gadget Can and the team slowly continued to put out the fires.
Unbeknownst to the group, in a control room above the floor of the warehouse, Abel was watching them before he walked over to a control panel and pressed a button.
Tap!
Confused, the group looked upwards and spotted a large animatronic head of Godzilla glaring at them.
"That is so fake." Ben then cockily pointed out before the Godzilla animatronic roared and breathed fire at them.
WHOOSH! BLAST! BLAM!
"Scatter!" Gadget Cat ordered Ben and Gwen who both jumped off and ran for their lives.
The Godzilla animatronic then focused on Gadget Cat and continued breathing fire at the Lombax who swiftly attempted to avoid being burnt.
As the skirmish continued, a nearby security camera recorded the battle to the live audience outside the warehouse.
Thinking that the skirmish was part of Super Alien Hero Buddies, many people began cheering and clapping in excitement at what they were seeing.
"Yeah! Go Cat alien!" A young teenager yelled out amongst the crowd.
"Wow! Those kids are incredible!" Another person muttered under his breath before someone replied, "Eh, I've seen better."
At the same time back inside the Warehouse...
WHOOSH! THUNK!
As Nibbler landed on a nearby support column, he decided to take out the Godzilla animatronic.
Smirking, Nibbler then landed on the Godzilla's animatronic's head and sliced it with his thick claws.
WHOOSH! THUNK! SLICE!
The Godzilla animatronic's head then shut down before it failed and went back down underneath the ground whilst Nibbler leapt onto an industrial crane.
WHOOSH! THUNK!
Dangling from the support column, Nibbler then noticed Abel North tied up to a chain dangling upside down over a boiling cauldron of acid.
"Mr North! Hang on! We'll save you!" Nibbler loudly boomed out before the crane he was on began moving.
Groan... Rumble...
Tim Dean was then dragged into the industrial warehouse also tied up to a chan upside down over another boiling cauldron of acid.
"Please don't hurt me! I just do drawings for god's sake! I'm not even good!" A pleading Tim shouted out in fear.
Wildvine then emerged from a nearby support column before he noticed both Tim and Abel in the building.
"Hold on... Didn't you kidnap Mr North?" Wildvine then questioned Tim.
"No you overgrown weed! He kidnapped me!" Tim angrily yelled back.
Tim then noticed Abel hanging upside down before Nibbler snarkily muttered, "You sure about that?"
"Didn't he?" A confused Tim replied to Nibbler.
"This is a very confusing situation." Wildvine quietly thought to himself.
Right before Wildvine could say anything, a voice from an intercom then blared out, "Pity you won't be able to figure it out and save them both!"
The man in the control room then flicked down a pair of levers which caused the chains Abel and Tim were on to move downwards.
Flick! Rumble...
Looking around, Wildvine and Nibbler then spotted Gwen on a maintenance catwalk before she yelled out, "Ben, Grab North! Stan, Grab Dean! I'll help out Ben!"
Wildvine nodded back and swung over to the chain Tim was on and began dragging him up whilst Nibbler swung over to the chain Abel was on and began dragging him up.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! WHOOSH! SPLAT! THUNK!
As Wildvine dragged up Tim, Nibbler then grabbed the chain that held Abel before both aliens managed to free them both.
"Hold on!" Nibbler warned Abel right before he leapt onto the maintenance catwalk Gwen was on whilst Wildivine swung onto the opposite maintenance catwalk.
Determined to kill Tim and Abel, the man in the control booth then flicked more switches right as some flammable oil barrels exploded in the warehouse.
Flick! Tap! Flick! KA-BOOM! BLAST! Rumble...
The maintenance catwalk that Wildvine and Tim were on then collapsed causing Wildvine to call out, "Diamondhead!"
A bright flash of vibrant green light then covered Wildvine as he transformed into Diamondhead mid-air.
BEEP! FLASH!
"Petrosapien DNA sample activated." Diamondhead's Omnitrix symbol then beeped out.
Plunging in mid-air, Diamondhead then grabbed hold of Tim with his left hand before he yelled out, "Brace yourself!"
Aiming out his right hand, Diamondhead then fired some diamond shards on the ground which formed into a large curved diamond slope upon impact with the ground.
RATATAT! WHAM! Rumble... CRACK! WHOOSH! THUNK!
Using the diamond slope, Diamondhead and Tim then safely landed on the maintenance catwalk the others were on.
"Everyone good?!" Diamondhead asked everyone who nodded their heads back.
Taking charge, Diamondhead then ordered the group, "Now let's get out of here before..."
CRACK! Rumble... CRASH!
A massive piece of rubble and debris from the roof then fell off the roof right towards the group.
However...
WHOOSH! KA-THUNK!
Using their combined strength, both Nibbler and Diamondhead managed to catch the debris object before Nibbler roared out, "RARRGHH!" And chucked the object off the catwalk.
As Nibbler and Diamondhead recaught their breath, Gwen then asked Nibbler, "So do you always need to roar when doing something like that?"
"Why not? Make us look like badasses." Nibbler confidently boasted back to Gwen before he muttered, "Now let's find the person who's responsible for this mess."
The group quickly moved down the maintenance catwalk to the control room before the intercom blared out, "Attention park-goers! I regret to inform you of the demise of the has been Abel North and that talentless animator Tim Dean!"
The group then walked into a corridor leading to the control room where a series of props and items from Universal's cinematic history were on display.
"Has-Been? Talentless?" Both Tim and Abel murmured at the same time.
"Whoever has done this has gone way beyond a personal grudge," Gwen remarked back to Tim and Abel.
"Damn right! He must have taken over the park's master control centre, I told him this has gone too far!" Abel explained before he ran off down the corridor.
"Wait told who?!" Diamondhead questioned Abel before Nibbler muttered, "We think we know who he could be..."
THUNK!
Abel then kicked down the door to the control room where a person sat down on a chair was busy inputting commands into a keyboard.
Nibbler then aimed his right hand at the chair and fired out a large tendril from it that stuck to the chair and turned it around.
WHOOSH! KA-SPLAT!
As the chair turned around, the group noticed a man identical to Abel except he had a thin handlebar moustache and was younger and fitter then Abel.
"Uh... Why does he look like a James Bond villain?" Tim then questioned the others before Nibbler's white eyes widened.
"Of course! We should have figured it out!" Nibbler then exclaimed to the group with Ben's voice then saying, "It was so obvious for us!"
"Who is he?" Diamondhead bluntly asked Nibbler who rambled on using Ben's knowledge, "Kangaroo Commando: The Series, Season One, Episode Ten, Kangaroo Commando had his brother on, His twin brother Kane."
The group glanced at Kane in shock and anger before Gwen whispered, "Seems like this was one sibling rivalry that went too far."
Kane then stood up from his chair and angrily declared, "I'm the real Kangaroo Commando! I built all the gadgets and special effects while you took all the credit!"
"So what gave you the idea to kidnap Dean?" Diamondhead then questioned Kane knowing how dangerous Human beings could be.
"Because he ripped off my idea! I wanted to develop a character-driven series about those aliens that had been popping up all over the country! But Dean scrapped the concept and made it kid-friendly and stupid by making his crappy cartoon!"
Rolling his yellow eyes, Diamondhead then muttered under his breath, "Seriously? Can't Hollywood come up with anything original these days?"
"But now the world will know at last who the real creator of Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures is!" Kane loudly shouted with his eyes twitching slightly.
Kane then hurled a smoke bomb onto the ground causing everyone to not being able to see clearly.
WHOOSH! BOOM!
Stumbling around, Diamondhead then noticed that Kane had run off from the chair causing him to frown and think, "Kane's already gone off the deep end."
As Nibbler and Gwen were blinded by the smoke, Kane sprinted past them both and used his grappling pistol to fire ropes that tied up both Tim and Abel.
WHOOSH! THUNK!
Kane then grabbed hold of them both and ran out of the control booth dragging them across the floor.
Gwen and Nibbler then noticed Kane running off to a pair of emergency exit doors which he then kicked down.
Diamondhead then appeared from the smoke before Gwen told him, "We've got to follow them!"
"Follow us then!" Nibbler informed Gwen before he ran off after Kane causing Gwen and Diamondhead to sprint after him.
Outside the Warehouse building, Kane sprinted across the rooftops of the theme park before he came across a large globe that was used as a separate entrance for Universal Studios Hollywood.
Trapped, Kane then turned around before he was confronted by Gwen and Nibbler on the sides along with Shocksquatch in the middle of the trio.
"Give up Kane! You're surrounded eh!" Shocksquatch warned Kane ready to fight him.
"Nothing will stop me from getting my revenge! Nothing!" Kane madly yelled back before Nibbler snarled and morphed his arms forward causing him to shove Kane onto the floor.
WHOOSH! SPLAT! THUD!
Gwen and Nibbler then leaned down near Abel and Tim whilst Shocksquatch confronted Kane who hurled a smoke bomb in the Gimlinopithecus's face.
WHOOSH! BOOM! KA-THUD!
Shocksquatch was then sent flying back slightly as Kane leant down and grabbed hold of Abel before he activated his jumping boots and landed on the Universal globe.
WHOOSH! THUD!
Frowning, Shocksquatch then told Nibbler and Gwen, "Eh... I'll take him out. You keep an eye on Tim, eh!"
Nodding back, Nibbler then morphed back into Ben and kneeled near Gwen who was removing the ropes off Tim Dean.
Splat... Slither... Squelch... SNAP!
Shocksquatch then leapt onto the Universal Studios globe before he slowly clambered up the massive structure.
Kane then grabbed hold of Abel and prepared to throw him off the roof.
"See you around brother!" Kane cruelly taunted Abel right before Shocksquatch punched him onto the ground.
ZAP! THUD!
Kane landed on the ground before he glanced and watched as Shocksquatch removed the rope bindings off him.
SNAP!
"Eh... Are you okay?" Shocksquatch questioned Abel who told him, "Yes. Now go stop Kane!"
"With pleasure." Shocksquatch jokingly remarked back before he stomped forward past Abel and called out, "Ghostfreak!"
FLASH!
Appearing from the flash of bright green light, Ghostfreak then floated near Kane and creepily warned him... "Just give up Kane... Or else... Old Ghostfreak will scare you..."
Kane merely punched through Ghostfreak's body which did no damage to the Ectonurite.
PUNCH! Whoosh...
Rolling his singular eye, Ghostfreak then pulled open his chest before his tentacles grabbed hold of Kane and slammed him onto the globe.
RIP! SLURP! WHOOSH! GRAB! THUD!
Kane then activated his jumping boots and slammed into Ghostfreak's chest catching the Ectonurite off guard.
WHOOSH! THUD! SLAM!
Groaning, Kane then jumped onto Ghostfreak's body right before he called out, "Cannonbolt!"
FLASH!
Stunned by the flash of bright green light, Kane then noticed Cannonbolt's yellow shell right before Cannonbolt punched Kane onto the ground again.
THUNK! PUNCH!
Kane then landed on the ground as Cannonbolt jumped upwards and pinned Kane down onto the floor whilst his grappling gun landed on the ground.
WHOOSH! Whirrr... KA-THUD!
The Omnitrix symbol on Cannonbolt's forehead then began flashing red right before...
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! FLASH!
Cannonbolt was then engulfed in a flash of bright red light on Kane's chest.
Stan barely had time to react right before Kane shoved Stan onto the globe's floor.
WHOOSH! THUMP!
"Warning! Omni-Energy supply is low. Recharge Mode activated." The bright red Omnitrix beeped out from Stan's right arm.
With his vision blurry, Stan shook his head before he noticed Kane standing over him.
"Looks like I'm not the only one who isn't quite what he appears to be." Kane darkly muttered before he moved forward to Stan.
Panicking, Stan then dived towards the grappling gun only for Kane to kick the weapon into his hands with a backflip.
Kane then chuckled and told Stan, "You've messed with me for the first and last time you little shit!"
Kane then grabbed hold of Stan's shirt collar and dangled him over the edge of the Universal globe.
Feeling terrified and emotional, Stan's body began shaking as the Omni-Energy within the Omnitrix began appearing.
WHOOSH! BEEP! ZAP! SPARK!
Stan's black hair then rose up into the flame-like pattern before he closed his blue eyes right before the Omnitrix blared out, "Warning! Extreme Omni-Energy surge detected!"
Stunned by what was happening, Kane then froze in fear right before Abel saw his chance to attack.
Yelling out loud, Abel then smashed his fists onto Kane's back causing him and Stan to land on the ground.
SMACK! PUNCH! THUD!
Immediately, Stan's black hair fell back to normal whilst the Omnitrix stopped beeping rapidly and flashed back to red as Stan's transformation into his Omni-Evolution form was interrupted.
WHOOSH! BZZTT! ZAP! SPARK! THUNK!
Abel then grabbed hold of Kane and punched his twin's face with a violent knock out punch.
PUNCH! CRACK! THUD!
Kane was then knocked out and crashed onto the floor motionless as blood leaked out of his nose.
With Kane beaten, Abel leaned down and then questioned Stan, "Hey, you alright kid?"
Slowly reopening his bright blue eyes, Stan felt his body ache slightly before he asked Abel, "Urgh... What just happened?"
"I took out Kane with a good old fisticuff." Kane remarked back to Stan who smiled and said, "Thanks for saving my life."
Abel then helped Stan get up from the ground with his hand before he suggested to Stan, "Looks we can both get the job done with or without our costumes."
The crowd from below then began clapping and cheering loudly for the two as Tim, Gwen and Ben joined them.
Nearly twenty minutes later...
It was closing time for Universal Studios Hollywood.
As the crowds walked out of the entrance gates, several Los Angles County police officers and Universal Studios Hollywood security guards were dragging a handcuffed and unconscious Kane to a prison van before he was chucked in and locked up.
"Yet another freak who's going off to Seagate Penitentiary." One of the police officers muttered before his colleague declared, "His loss for being a criminal, to begin with."
The van door was then closed as the kids watched Tim and Abel talk to each with respect.
"Dean. Those Super Alien Hero Buddies of yours aren't half bad." Abel eagerly told Tim.
"Oh, you really think so? Because Kangaroo Commando has always been a major influence in my work." Tim happily told him back.
"Well, I'm glad you two are getting along... But aren't you forgetting about something?" Stan gently informed Tim and Abel.
"Of course. I'm sorry for ripping off the alien heroes." Tim remarked to Stan who smiled and told him, "You know what? Maybe that cartoon of your's ain't so bad after all."
"See ya around kids." Abel then remarked back before him and Tim walked off with Gwen pointing out, "All's well that ends weird."
"You can say that again." A smirking Ben declared before Nibbler whispered to him, "Correctamundo."
Max then walked over carrying a paper shopping bag before he informed the kids, "Sorry I'm late. But were all fixed and ready to hit the road again. You kids have a relaxing day at the park?"
"Well Uncle Max, it was a usual sort of relaxing day for this group." Stan truthfully told Max exchanging glances with Ben and Gwen.
"Are those the spare parts from the Rust Bucket, Grandpa?" Gwen then questioned Max about the paper bag he was carrying.
"Oh, no." Max remarked fumbling around in the bag before he stated, "There was a Toy's R Us store next to the garage. The salesman there said these were the hottest characters on TV. Thought Stan might like em. They reminded me of his aliens."
Max then pulled out a Digital Buddy toy as Stan's eyes widened in shock and joy.
"Urgh! That is such a..." Ben snarkily began right before...
"Masterpiece and figurine of my favourite Omnitrix alien of all time?! This is certainly something I'm gonna keep for the rest of my life!" Stan happily told Max as his Joy took over him.
Gwen then began laughing at Stan's antics whilst Ben rolled his green eyes and muttered, "Ah man."
Several hours later back inside the Rust Bucket...
The Rust Bucket was parked in a rural desert as the wind howled outside with the night sky dominating the evening.
Inside the RV, everyone was asleep and everything seemed normal.
Except that Stan was tossing and turning in his sleep mumbling under his breath.
"Zzz... Must use Upgrade more often... Such a wonderful alien... Zzzz..." Stan snored under his breath.
Little did Stan know that using Upgrade to much would have tragic consequences for him and the entire group as a whole...
Author's Note: So I hope you enjoyed reading the chapter.
So couple of things to talk here.
I've gotten a few useful suggestions from readers about as to what chapters I could do next.
So expect some original chapters in the mix every now and then and suggestions going forward.
Also, I've gotten an increase in favourites and follows, so thanks to everyone who's followed this fanfic.
The last thing I want to address is the Upgrade situation.
So Upgrade is Stan's favourite alien and he's been using that form a lot recently.
Now considering what happened with Ben and Feedback...
Things are going to get ugly for Stan and Upgrade.
Anyway, that's it.
So thanks for reading this chapter and as always, see you when the next chapter goes live.
