Alex, Alexis, and Kalin all sat on one side of a large table inside of The Rubber, with an unexpected guest seated opposite them – their mother. It was one of the rare times when they got to spent time together outside of their house, as luckily enough today all three siblings' ended school just in time to come to their favorite restaurant during their mother's lunch break. Kalin and Alexis were happily biting into their pizzas, while Alex was slowly cutting small pieces of his own and eating them with his fork, and their mother was eating soup… Not all too strange, considering that it was raining snow outside.

"Your exams are coming up soon," their mother commented, which caught the siblings' attention. "I've talked with your teachers. And Kalin, they didn't tell me a lot of good things about your marks so far."

Kalin looked at her with his eyes wide open, and a large piece of pizza in his hand, as he was trying to shove it into his mouth whole. After a few seconds, he pulled the piece of pizza out of his mouth and put it down, took a deep breath, and leaned back into the bench he and his siblings were sitting on.

"And what did they tell you about my marks, exactly?" He asked, though from his tone his siblings were able to easily guess that he seemed to be panicking quite a bit at the thought.

This was one of their mother's tricks to get him to sing everything. She would tell him something among the lines of, 'I spoke with your teachers', or 'I meet with your classmate's mom', or something along those lines to check how he would react. If he was starting to panic, as he was doing at the moment, then he was trying to hide a low mark from her. It was a cruel method of interrogation, but also strangely satisfying to watch for Alexis and Alex, who unlike their brother didn't have to worry about their mother finding that type of stuff. They would never tell each other's marks to her, and because they didn't give her much information on who their classmates were, she couldn't use the excuses she used on their brother against them.

"A lot of things, like how you must he slacking after school, and so on," their mother leaned forward, giving the boy a glare that made his skin turn pale. "But from the look on your face, it seems to me that you want to tell me something about your marks as well."

"Careful mom, you shouldn't shout here, since we're in a restaurant and all," Alex muttered jokingly, knowing that this little interrogation was going to most likely end with her getting really pissed off.

"Listen, mom, it's not that I'm slacking it just that, ya know, with those devices on our wrists, we very often have to save this town or the world from catastrophes and alien attacks, and so on." Kalin laughed nervously, as he rose his hands in front of himself for defense. "I'm really trying my best, but you know, if I don't save the planet first, then it won't matter how much I study."

"How comes your brother is managing well then?"

Interestingly, Alex had heard both Kalin's excuse, and his mother's counter-question, several times in the past, and they always ended up the same way, so he was genuinely starting to wonder if Kalin wasn't having some sort of mental defect for trying to pull off the same excuse every time despite know, every time, that it just wouldn't work out for him.

Kalin was ready to beg the Universe for an alien attack to occur at that very moment to save him. He was ready to fight titans, and even the Witch, but he just couldn't with against his mother's glare. And strangely enough, the Universe heard the boy and decided to grant him this wish, in a way. His mother's interrogation was cut short, but a car getting slammed into the street outside, and people starting to run and scream in panic, prompting the four to step outside the restaurant and take a look.

What they took a look at, was a giant spider-like machine with four long legs, wrecking the town and throwing cars around with some sort of invisible force; something like telekinesis. After staring at the machine for a few minutes, the four all returned back to the restaurant and sat back down at their table to discuss a plan of action. Since the creature didn't seem all too interested in killing the citizens, they had a bit of time to put up an actual plan of action, instead of just rushing outside without a plan and getting completely destroyed.

"Fixing all of this destruction's going to come from the taxes I'm paying, you know?" their mother reminded them.

"There's a giant fucking robot outside, wrecking the shit out of this city, how are you not scared!?" Kalin shouted. "Do you even have a soul, or are you a demon?"

"Cut it!" Alexis shouted and slapped her brother on the back of the head. "That thing's still just a machine, not an alien or something worse. You know how to deal with that, yes?"

Kalin stared at his sister for a second, before coming up with an idea. He jumped off his seat and activated his Omnitrix, scrolling through the alien holograms, until he came across the one that he would use to destroy the robot – Four-Armed! Yep, that was going to do, he didn't have a better alien for this situation; no electrical aliens to short-circuit it, or Upgrade to dismantle it from the inside, no, no, he was going to punch it hard and it was going to work out. In a flash of blue light, the 14 years old disappeared and the large red alien with form arms appeared in his place flexing his muscles.

"Are you serious?" Alexis hit her head. "You know what, fine, if you're too stupid to figure out what to do, then I'll!"

With these words, Alexis's body morphed, turning black with green circuit lines running across it. She turned into liquid form and spilled out of her seat, then morphed back into her humanoid shape next to her brother and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Grab me and threw me at the robot, I'll take care of the rest." She told him.

"One yeet coming right away," Kalin laughed and grabbed the black and green alien in his arms. He ran out of the restaurant and turned to face the machine, then threw the Galvanic Mechamorph at it.

Problem was, for one reason or another, a powerful wind suddenly blasted Alexis off course, and instead of flying onto the large machine, and she flew past it and slammed through the window of a building. Kalin winched slightly and turned back to his brother, who was standing next to him with his arms crossed and an unimpressed expression on his face.

"I swear, I have no idea what happened there, but I'm sure that I threw her the right way," Kalin told him.

"That wouldn't have been a problem if you used your brain some more when selecting your aliens." Alex rolled his eyes and activated his Omnimatrix, scrolling through the aliens, until the watch's selector landed on Polarstar's hologram; since what better choice to fight against a machine than magnetism? Alex pressed down on his watch, and in a flash of light, he transformed.

"So, you tell me that I should think more about my aliens, but isn't Armoredrill the same as Four-Armed in terms of power set?" Kalin asked, noticing the alien form his brother had turned into.

"First, no he isn't, and second, I got the wrong alien!" Alex shouted at him, then ran out into the open to face the robot.

The bulky red alien turned his arms into drills and slammed them into the ground, pumping the jackhammer pistons on his elbows to cause the ground under the robot's legs to start shaking, and then break, with some pierces raising up and others sinking down. The robot quickly lost balance and dropped back, only for a powerful wind to blast underneath it, forcing its body back up; much to Alex's surprise and utter confusion. These winds weren't normal, were they?

The robot turned to face him, his singular red eye flashing brightly for a moment, then a blast of wind shot toward Alex, sending all the cars, trucks, and everything else in its path flying into various directions. The windblast collided with its target, the force of the impact causing a part of his red armor to crack, as Alex's body was flung back and his upper body flew through the front window of a truck.

"What's this power?" Alex pulled himself out of the truck and looked down at his chest, with a bit of black liquid dripping out from the crack in his armor. "Armoredrill's blood is black? More important, Armoredrill's bleeding from this?"

He turned back to the machine, just in time to see his brother as Four-Armed trying to charge it. Kalin jumped toward the robot's main body with his fists raised over his head, but the robot swung one of its legs upward, hitting him, and sending the red alien to fly up into the sky. At that moment, another wind blast hit Kalin in the back, accelerating his fall, as he crashed through the rooftop of a four-story tall building and fell all the day to the bottom floor.

"Wind-based powers, huh?" Alex's tiny white eyes looked around, especially at all the destroyed cars lying around him. "Let's check out how fast you can fire those wind blasts, eh?"

Alex ran over to one of the wrecked cars and picked it off the ground. He positioned one of his arms behind it and used the other to aim it at the robot, then, the arm pressed against the backside of the car pumped its jackhammer back and back in, creating a small shockwave that traveled throughout Armoredrill's arm and collided with the car it was holding, launching it toward the robot like a bullet. A car-sized bullet.

The robot turned to face the projectile and released another blast of wind that tore through the car and sent its pieces raining around the street, only for another one to follow right behind the first, colliding with the robot's main body and denting it slightly, as the machine stumbled back, losing its balance for a moment. A third car came flying its way and it blasted it away from itself the same way it did the first, but like the previous time, another car followed right after and hit the robot, dropping it on the ground.

Alexis walked over to the fallen machine and gave her brother a thumb-up. "Thanks for the help!"

She jumped on the machine and her black and green body spread out, creating a thin layer that covered the entire machine. Despite that, Alexis noted that there was something strange as the machine's controls didn't immediately came under her command, and a moment later, a powerful electrical current ran over the robot's surface, electrocuting the Galvanic Mechamorph, who dropped down with smoke coming out of her body.

"It's never that easy, is it?" Alex sighed. He looked over to his left, his brother breaking through the front door of the building he had fallen into and joining him, as both turned their attention toward the large robot who was starting to get back onto its feet.

"So Upgrade doesn't work on this fella, eh?" Kalin crossed his arms and looked at his brother smugly. "And what were you saying again about not using my brain to pick my aliens? Seems like you owe an apology after this epic failure."

"Will you shut up?" Alex growled and hit his brother's Omnitrix symbol, the two extra arms disappeared and crystals covered his red skin, as Kalin transformed from Four-Armed into Diamondguy.

"Hey, what the hell?" Kalin stepped back and looked at his arms for a second, then turned back to his brother and narrowed his eyes. "But Diamondguy isn't as strong as Four-Armed, what the heck?"

"You won't be needing muscles for what we're going to do next," Alex told him and then turned toward the machine, pointing a finger at it. "Generate crystals at its feet and trap it in one spot for me!"

"Whatever," Kalin rolled his eyes and knelt down, slamming his fist into the ground.

Small crystals started to break out of the ground, as the main crystal moved underneath it, reaching under the robot and then splitting into four directions. After a few moments crystal began to grow out from underneath the robot's legs and around them, trapping the huge machine from moving them. After that was done, Kalin turned toward his brother to see what he was planning to do next.

Alex turned his arms into drills again and slammed them into the ground, pumping the jackhammer pistons on his elbows, forcing the ground under the robot's entrapped legs to start shaking, and then break the same way it did last time, with enough force for the robot to lose its balance for a second time and drop down on its back. A powerful wind blasted the machine from behind to keep it from dropping fully, and then forcing its back up, but this time Alex had a plan to deal with the problem of the machine's powers.

"Now, create a huge crystal from underneath it!" Alex shouted, and Kalin realized what their game plan was this entire time.

In an instant, a huge crystal with a sharp end rose from the ground and pierced through the robot's back, with the blade coming out of its front. Fire and smoke started coming out of the body, and its legs shook uncontrollably for a few seconds, before going limb. This was why Alex had thrown those cars beforehand, to test if the machine was able to fire multiple wind blasts one after another, but since every second car he tossed managed to hit, it meant that the robot needed at least two or three seconds to pass between its attacks. And since it had to use a wind blast to keep itself from falling, well, it just didn't have anything to protect it from the second part of their attack. Or was it the third, since Kalin locked its legs first?

"You crazy bastard." Kalin laughed, hitting his brother on the shoulder. "That actually worked out for us! I guess you will want to scrap it now, before the authorities show up, right?"

"You know me." Alex nodded and headed toward the large machine, the crystal that had pierced it retracting back into the ground by Kalin's command, as the two of them walked over to it.

Alexis joined them a moment later, still in her update form. Alex turned back to his brother and gestured for him to go on. The crystal-based alien form grinned wide as he jumped on top of the destroyed robot and turned his arms into blades then started to slide the thing open, careful not to hit any important-looking components.

And talking about important-looking components, the crystal alien suddenly stopped as he saw what was standing in the center of the robot's body – a metallic coffin with multiple cables coming out of it and connecting to the robot's other components. He stopped and stepped out of the machine.

"I think I found something weird." He told his siblings. "There's something that looks like a coffin. Should I slice it open?"

"Don't, let Alexis take a look at it." Alex gestured to his sister.

"It will only take me a moment now," Alexis jumped into the machine with her younger brother and her body turned back into its liquid-like state, covering the strange metallic coffin completely, with her eye-like circuit appearing on the front of it. "Um guys, there's an actual body inside of this thing."

"You got to be kidding me." Kalin shivered at the thought of it and jumped out of the machine. "Ok bro, you wanted this stuff, you get inside and look at it!"

Alex rolled his eyes and climbed onto the machine's body. He knelt down next to the hole his brother made and looked down at his sister, giving her a nod. After a moment, Alexis's eye flashed positively and with a low hissing sound, the coffin opened up, revealing the pale body of an average fifteen years old boy with cables coming out of the back of its head and spine, connecting it to all the machinery.

"I haven't studied for this, but I'm pretty sure that if his body is so pale it must mean that he died a long time ago?" Alex guessed.

"Yeah, the insides of this coffin act like a freezer, actually." Alexis's body morphed out of the coffin and she stood over the body. "It appears that the robot has been using his brain to calculate its attacks. No, I'm pretty sure that in actuality, the robot's been using his powers, to begin with."

"You mean the same type of super-powers that Elis and her sister showed to possess?" Alex asked, receiving a positive nod as an answer. "Just fucking great. Try taking a blood sample, so we can see if those powers are something genetic."

"What about the boy's identity?" Alexis asked.

"Two-One will work on that."

Back at the base, Alex was working with the DNA machine, looking through the boy's DNA, and trying to figure out how humans were suddenly able to have superpowers. He put the DNA against several other samples, including his own, and found noticeable differences, mutations that shouldn't be there. He was unsure of how this type of mutation was able to form in individuals, even tried to compare the DNA sample with the DNA of Typhoon, but fortunately, there didn't appear to be any match.

"Are you still worried about the existence of mutants?" Alexis asked, glancing over her brother's shoulder.

"How are you not?" Alex turned back to his sister. "Or I guess you simply don't see the danger that such genetically defective freaks could pose?"

"Don't you think you're going a bit too far there?" Alexis raised an eyebrow. "Calling your own species defects, I mean,"

"Just imagine hundreds if not thousands of people with the same powers as the aliens we are fighting, running around, and destroying the world," Alex told her. "You don't trust me with the full power of the watch that I have, yet you will have no problem trusting complete strangers with a similar type of power?"

"That's not what I was trying to say," Alexis sighed. "I admit that these types of mutations aren't… normal. I don't know of a way that human's genetics could mutate to allow them to control the wind with their mind, or create fire from the body like a Pyronite. But, what do you plan to do about it? Put them all in jail?"

"Find who's responsible for the creation of these mutants and stop them from making any more," Alex explained. "We can't do anything about those who have already become what they are, but we can make sure that this type of power doesn't end in the hands of actually dangerous people."

"That sounds more like something I could get behind," Alexis smiled and turned to face Two-One. "So, do we have any leads on the boy's identity? His name, or address?"

"Daniel Harper, from state Oregon, the United States of America," Two-One stated, showing the profile of the boy. "He has been reported missing by his parents a month ago.

"Far away from home, huh?" Alexis crossed her arms. "Super-powered humans aren't a piece of common knowledge. Maybe we will get close to who gave Daniel his powers if he looks into who built that machine and why they sent it here."

"I've been watching the area around the destroyed machine through the city's cameras," Two-One stated. "I believe this recording would be of interest to you."

One of the computer screens on the wall turned on the recording Two-One was talking about. It was some time after the siblings had taken down the machine, there were police officers, firefighters, even a few ambulances, though their presence wasn't required as most of the damage caused to the city had already been fixed by Warrio'Clock. And that's what Two-One zoomed on. As the boy's body was being carried into one of the ambulances, the medic behind him appeared to be carrying some sort of small black box that made Alexis hit her head at how stupid she was. When she updated the machine, she should have looked at it had a black box of some sort.

"Where's that ambulance right now?" Alexis asked.

"It has driven out of town," Two-One stated. I can't tell where exactly it has headed.

"Do you have its number and which road it took?" Alex stood up and walked toward his storage.

"I see what you have in mind sir," Two-One commented. "I'll input the data into Two-Two immediately."

"Mind telling me what exactly Two-Two is?" Alexis turned to her brother.

"I was trying to make a robot with the help of Two-One that I could send out there to survey the galaxy and its various species," Alex explained, as he opened the door of the storage, and a small UFO-shaped drone with a single green eye in the center of its body flew out. "It's not spaceflight ready, but it should be able to act as a scout, what do you say, Two-Two."

"It would be my pleasure to help out with your assignment, sir." The AI said in a voice that sounded almost the same as Two-One's, only younger. "I've accessed the briefing package from Two-One, commencing reconnaissance."

With those words, the little bot flew out of the room, leaving a proud Alex and a mildly confused Alexis stared at the door after it left. After a few seconds, Alexis shook her head and turned back to her brother.

"I want you to know that you're really killing it with all those inventions of yours lately." She told him.

"Glad to hear that you think so," Alex smirked. He put his hands into his pockets and turned back to the computer. "I'll be working on that other project, you know the one. Call me if Two-Two finds something important."

With that, the door slid shut behind Alex, leaving his sister alone in the room. At least he was doing something useful with his aliens when outside combat, but Alexis was starting to get worried about what sort of stuff he was working on in there. A few days ago she went to clear the storage and noticed that the Chronian Time Navigator was missing and that the Techadon Robots they stole from Vulkanus were disassembled.

"I'll leave you to do your job then, Two-One." Alexis sighed and walked toward the exit herself. "Call me."

Even though Two-Two wasn't completed yet, it was still a fast drone. With the information of which road the ambulance had taken, it was very quickly able to catch up to the vehicle, flying behind it in stealth mode that made it invisible to the naked eye. The drone followed them for hours, the sun starting to set down on the horizon when the vehicle finally arrived in the big city.

To no one's surprise, the ambulance suddenly took a left turn and went in a direction that according to both Two-Two's and Two-One's calculations wasn't leading toward the hospital. Instead, it drove through the back alleys into some kind of warehouse. Two-Two stopped following the vehicle after it drone into the building and instead flew on its rooftop, landing there. Its eye started to flash, emitting a signal for Two-One.

After a few minutes, there was a ripple in space just behind the tiny UFO and both Starman and Alexis walked through it, after which the former reverted back to human and knelt down next to the drone.

"You did well." Alex praised it. "Now stay away and observe the area for anything, well, stranger than us."

"Affirmative," Two-Two stated and flew up.

"Think it's time we burst in?" Alexis's hair turned green, and her disguise activated, as she transformed her right arm into Fire Force's.

"After you," Alex gestured forward, with a hand, and activated his ID belt with the other, turning his hair white and his eyes red.

Alexis generated a fireball and threw it, generating a large explosion that collapsed part of the rooftop they were standing on. The duo then jumped through the hole and Alexis returned her arm to normal and generated Frost Ghost's wings out of her back, grabbing her brother as the two of them descended, landing in the center of the warehouse, catching the attention of the three men inside.

"They followed us." One of them muttered.

"I didn't expect them to notice what was happening so quickly." Another one added.

"Somehow, you guys don't sound surprised to see two eighteen years old with strange powers destroying your rooftop." Alexis raised an eyebrow, retracting her wings back into her body.

"You have come for Daniel over there, haven't you?" One of them gestured toward the back of the ambulance they drove.

"Actually, I'm more interested in the black box that you took from the robot," Alex told him.

"Ah, the black box, is it." the man chuckled nervously and looked back at his friends, who nodded. "Sorry, but unlike the corpse, the box still has its uses. But seeing how there are two of you here, would you mind helping us test a few new toys."

As the man said that, a pair of large mecha-like units appeared behind the ambulance. No, they didn't just appear, they were there the entire time, hiding using some sort of advanced cloaking technology, or maybe a cloaking ability from one of the bodies inside of them. Alex and Alexis immediately took a defensive position, and the former activated his Omnimatrix, quickly strolling through his aliens.

"I take the skies, you attack from the ground!" Alex commanded and slammed the red core down.

His body transformed into Humanosaur with the same green eyes as Alexis, wearing black shorts with a red waistband, and the Omnimatrix symbol on its chest. The large beast stood up and raised its head roaring. This was not what Alex had wanted, and his transformation could even fly! He looked back at his sister, who shook her head.

"I guess I'll be taking the skies." She muttered, morphing her body into Turbo Manta.

Alex roared, his body growling slightly with the scales covering his skin becoming larger as well, a crest growing on his forehead and spikes on his tail. He shot forward, aiming his fist at the second robot whose powers they still haven't seen. The machine's three eyes flashed red, and it let out an ultrasonic screamed through the speakers on its shoulders. Alex dropped on the ground, grabbing his ears and roaring loudly as his body began to trash around from the pain.

"That just won't do!" Alexis fired a green beam from their tail.

The first robot jumped in front of its partner and crossed its arms, opening the armor to reveal a white crystal underneath it that absorbed the incoming beam. The machine turned invisible again and the Sonic Robot turned toward Alexis, unleashing another sonic blast from its speakers that knocked her down. Alex got up and charged the Sonic Robot again, but was stopped in his tracks, once again, by the Invisible Robot, who had grabbed his tails and released an electrical charge through its arms, electrocuting the dinosaur-like alien.

"The robots are putting a good fight," One of the men in the warehouse, or at least what still remained from it, remarked. "Maybe they could win?"

"I wouldn't bet on that," another one commented as he got back into the ambulance. "They haven't adapted to the kids' combat styles yet, but their opponents on the other side,"

Alexis jumped on her feet and flew over her brother, focusing the lasers from her eyes and tail into a single powerful beam that hit the ground in front of the Sonic Robot, setting it on fire and obscuring its field of view. Alex growled and his body suddenly shrunk down to around five-sixths of his original height, freeing himself from the Invisible Robot's grip and then jumped through the fire, letting his body large again, colliding into the robot with enough force to knock the machine on its back. He stood back up and grabbed Sonic Robot's left arm and leg and swung it around, throwing it at its partner, dropping the Invisible Robot.

The Sonic Robot rolled off its companion and the Invisible Robot opened the armor on its arms again, firing the beams it had absorbed from Alexis into Alex's face, blinding the tall dinosaur as the Sonic Robot unleashed another sonic wave from its loudspeakers, this time powerful enough to send the huge humanoid skidding through the ground. Alexis swept in, firing her eye beams at the robots, which jumped out of the way as the Invisible Drone activated its power and disappeared from view.

The Sonic Robot started firing small sonic blasts at the red alien, which used its extreme speed to avoid each of the attacks and then answer with its own beams, which the Sonic Robot was able to dodge just as easily. The two of them were locked into a seemingly never-ending long-range battle, with neither side being able to land a solid hit on their opposition. But that gave enough time for the three men to get back into their vehicle and drive out of the destroyed warehouse unnoticed. Well, almost unnoticed.

"The main target is trying to escape in the stolen vehicle!" Two-Two's voice echoed from both sibling's badges, and Alexis turned to look at the vehicle.

"Not on my watch!" She shouted.

She fired her eye beams at the ambulance's tires, and the Invisible Robot appeared in front of the attack, crossing its arms quickly enough to absorb the laser beams and fire them right back, knocking Alexis on the ground again. Alex snaked behind the machine and wrapped his arms around its waist, body slamming it into the ground with a loud thud. He then grabbed the Invisible Robot's legs and threw him at the ambulance, which made a sharp left turn at the last moment, dodging the huge robot, which slammed into a building.

"Thanks for that," Alexis muttered as she flew around her brother and then followed after the truck.

Alex clenched his fists and looked forward at the Sonic Robot, who seemed to be eyeing him as well. The Invisible Robot had gotten up as well and began to slowly approach the dinosaur-like alien from behind. Though Alex's intelligence was somewhat diminished in this form, whose animal instincts were so strong that the idea of Alex managing to mutter something resembling human speech was laughable, he still had enough of his mind together to realize the situation he was in. They were in the outskirts of a large city, though there most likely weren't any people living around, someone should have heard all the loud noises and called the police.

A police patrol should be arriving in around fifteen minutes, which was about the same as the amount of time as an alien that Alex had left. But he had to end this quickly, so he could help his sister catch these men. The most time he could spare on fighting these piles of scrap was two minutes! He retracted his scale armor and slammed his fists against the ground, roaring at the robot in front of him.

Alex shot forward at a surprisingly high speed for a creature of his size and aimed for the Sonic Robot, who fired a powerful sound blast from its shoulders. Alex dropped on the ground, shrinking his body as the blast flew over him and hit the Invisible Robot behind him, who hit the ground. Alex jumped back up and slammed his hands onto the Sonic Robot's shoulders, destroying them and sending its arms crashing on the ground.

Alex threw the Sonic Robot on top of the Invisible Robot again, this time trapping it underneath as the humanoid dinosaur jumped on top of them. He raised his fists and slammed them down on the machines' heads, crushing them in an instant, leaving two piles of metal lying lifeless on the ground. Alex got back up and growled then grabbed the destroyed machines and tore their chests open, revealing a coffin inside each of them. Just what he was looking for.

Somewhere else in the city, Alexis was flying over the streets, following after the ambulance, which was driving overtaking cars left and right, causing chaos on the streets, causing drivers to swerve out of the way to avoid crashing into the larger vehicle.

Of course, all of that was planned. Because of all the chaos, Alexis was going to be unable to use her laser beams without risking hitting a different car instead. The girl clicked her tongue in annoyance; Turbo Manta was her fastest flying alien so if she tried to change into a different alien, like Frost Ghost, she might lose them.

"If you're going to play dirty, then I might as well," she finally told herself, deciding to make a rather risky move.

She swept down, landing on top of the ambulance and grabbing on its rooftop with both her arms and legs. Though holding on top of the vehicle while it was constantly making sharp turns to try and shake her off was hard, Alexis withstood long enough and began to fire her eye beams against the rooftop of the vehicle. If destroying their tires was a no, then she was just going to get in there herself and beat the crap of them!

At that moment, a large mechanical fist tore through the rooftop of the ambulance and hit the red stingray in the face, knocking her off the vehicle she was holding on.

Both surprised and dazed from the sudden hit, Alexis fired both the beams from her eyes and tail without thinking, managing to hit the rear tires of the ambulance, which burst from the extreme heat. The driver almost immediately lost control of the vehicle which swerved to the right, slamming into the metal column of a billboard.

Alexis herself wasn't much lucky though, as after getting him by the metal fist she fell on a car that was driving behind the ambulance. The driver yelped as a strange red creature dropped on the front window of his car and steered the car into the opposite lane, where he got an even nastier surprise in the form of a car that slammed into it, and Alexis's body was flung off the car she had landed on. She hit the ground and skidded to a stop, groaning in pain.

"Great job Alexis, almost became a roadkill yourself with that move," Alexis muttered to herself, as her body morphed into a humanoid green goo and she flew over to the crashed ambulance.

The doors of the vehicle opened in front of Alexis's face, and the girl's eyes widened at the sight of a large, dark grey, humanoid clock standing in front of her. A Chronosapien, the same species as Warrio'Clock; they rarely if ever stepped outside their own planet so why was one on Earth? No, why was this one looking so… pale and emotionless?

"Shocked, are you?" a male voice called out. It wasn't the voice of the Chronosapien, but a human; a human inside the Chronosapien's body!

"What's this?" Alexis stepped back; mentally debating if she should change to a different form, or try to take this thing down as Goo.

"You didn't really think that human corpses were the only ones we repurposed?" the man asked as he pointed his arm at her, a pale yellow glow coming out of the cannon on his wrist as he did.

It wasn't a Chronosapien that she was facing, but rather the corpse of a Chronosapien that has been turned into a suit to be worn! Alexis looked at the cannon and realized what the man was about to do; even dead, the Chronosapien still had some of his time powers left active. She quickly pulled back, trying to dodge the attack, but it was of no use, as the man raised his arm and fired a small yellow beam that enveloped the girl.

When the light died down, Alexis was still there, her arms outstretched with a horrified expression; her body frozen in time.

"What do you know, that guy's still pretty strong despite how long ago he had died," The man looked down at his mechanic arms and clenched them into fists.

"Don't waste your time with that," The driver walked out of the ambulance, his forehead bleeding, as he leaned against the vehicle. "Let's get out before the other one shows up as well."

"He might actually be a challenge."

"You got no idea." A third voice called out, but it wasn't their companion.

A pair of vines burst forth from the ground behind the Chronosapien suit and wrapped around its wrists then pulled the heavy machine, dropping it on its back. After a moment, another vine rose from the ground, this time with red and yellow petals on the top, as the vine suddenly grew arms and gained a humanoid shape, turning into Swamplant, who stepped on the Chronosapien suit's head and ignited the methane in his arms, generating a ball of fire in each hand.

"Ah, not wasting your time, I see," the man inside the Chronosapien suit muttered. "Sadly, due to lacking the tactical advantage, I'll have to refrain from fighting you."

Before Alex could respond, a yellow portal opened under the Chronosapien suit and it flew through, the portal closing immediately after, as to avoid having the alien standing on top of him following through. Alex quickly turned to face the remaining men, but a portal appeared next to each of them and the Chronosapien suit's mechanical arms grabbed the two of them, pulling them through.

Alex extinguished the flames in his hands by clenching them into fists and then turned to his frozen sister.

"Getting frozen in time still feels weird,"

Back at their base, Alexis was sitting on a chair with her head hung down. Though her brother had used his Warrio'Clock to undo the time attack's effect on her, because she was too slow to react, the guys they were after managed to getaway. And not just them; all three robots' black boxes were missing as well. It appeared that what they were really after weren't the corpses.

"You still did well stopping them from escaping with the body as well," Alex told her as he connected Two-Two to the main computer.

"Yes, but now we have nothing."

"That's not exactly true."

Alexis tilted her head to the side in slight confusion. After a moment, Alex finished connected Two-Two, and images began to appear on the screen. Images of their aliens, of Swamplant and Riverplant sparring in the forest, of Crystalight and the Whamanas fighting Mira, the siblings against Elin, and so much more. There were images and videos from at least a year ago. All of them. The information that those robots were feed was their fighting styles, tactics…

"They were trying to eliminate us," Alexis muttered.

"Not sure, but they have been studying us," Alex rubbed his chin in thought. "There are even images of our human disguises. I think… they were trying to test us."

"With giant killer robots?"

"They still don't know who we really are," Alex crossed his arms. "And we must silence them before they do."

Alexis looked at her brother, then back at the screen. They had to be stopped before they hurt more people. Before they found a way to hurt this family.
