(Welcome back, everyone. Here's my new update.)
On the Stinger's mother ship, Queen Waspella was walking through the halls with General Hornitor at her side.
They entered the bridge where several Stinger soldiers were on standby, "Are you all ready?"
"Ready, and waiting, your majesty." one of the soldiers buzzed.
"Then prepare to beam down." Hornitor ordered, until there was an alarm sounding.
"What's going on?" Waspella demanded, as the soldiers armed themselves.
"A prisoner's escaped!" a Stinger on one of the monitors answered.
"Which?"
"It's-" but the monitor was shut down and only showed static.
Waspella buzzed angrily, until the doors opened, and a black blob bounced in with some Stingers trying to catch it.
"No!" Waspella gasped, "Catch it, you fools!"
The Stingers tried apprehending the blob, but it was too quickly and slippery for them. The blob slunk to the control panel for the teleporter and ended up hitting in coordinates before landing on the platform.
"No!" Hornitor buzzed as he tried to grab the blob, but it disappeared.
"It escaped! Waspella buzzed, before speaking to a Stinger, "Where did it go?"
The Stinger checked the coordinates, "Well, my lady, the prisoner is on earth where we were heading. But it landed in a place called Great Lakes City."
Waspella turned to her general, "Hornitor, take our troops and retrieve it. I spent a fortune for that, and in another's hands could do who knows what."
"Yes, my lady." Hornitor assembled his troops and were ready to beam down to earth.
Meanwhile on earth, Lincoln was on his hoverboard on his way to see Ronnie Anne. As he came to a red light, he spoke to the viewers.
"It's Saturday and I decided to pay Ronnie Anne a visit. You know keep up updated on all the recent issues in Royal Woods as of late. Plus I do enjoy the city." when the light turned green, Lincoln continued on.
He rode up to the bodega below the apartment to see both Ronnie Anne and Sid kicking back on the stairs of the apartment.
"Ronnie Anne! Sid!" Lincoln called, as he halted.
"Hey, Linc." Ronnie Anne greeted with a friendly hug.
"Good to see you." Sid greeted.
"Thanks. Good to see you girls too."
"Heard you had a run in with Dr. Splice recently." Ronnie Anne noted.
"Yeah, and he wasn't alone."
"Tell us all about it over a hot dog." Ronnie Anne said, as the three walked.
After getting a hot dog from favorite ht dog vendor Bruno, Lincoln was telling the girls about his recent team up against Splice.
"Power Rangers?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Yeah. That's some team name." Lincoln confirmed.
"They sounded awesome." Sid voiced her excitement.
"They were very awesome. But the baddies they deal with? Man, I thought I had it rough with enemies." Lincoln chuckled.
"You goin' soft, Lincoln?" Ronnie Anne teased.
"In your dreams." Lincoln chuckled.
"Well, at least you're keeping the craziness in Royal Woods," Sid began, "We get enough of that here without alien or anything."
"Run! Giant bugs!" a civilian screamed, as the three teens spotted several pedestrians running in fright of something.
"Did that guy just say 'giant bugs'?" Ronnie Anne asked in concern.
"He did." Sid confirmed.
Ronnie Anne looked to Lincoln, "You don't think..."
Lincoln nodded and squinted his eyes, "Stingers."
"What would the Stingers be doing here?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Don't know. That's why I need to find out." the boy answered.
"Care for some back up?" Sid asked.
Lincoln looked at the girls before answering, "Keep your distance and your heads down."
"Yes, sir!" Ronnie Anne did a mock salute. Lincoln rolled his eyes, as he and the girls headed off to the source of the commotion.
Out on the streets, the people were running away, as Hornitor was leading several Stingers around. Hornitor looked at one Stinger holding a tracking device, "Are you sure it's here?"
"Positive, general. The tracker's pinpointed it here."
"Then fan out. Leave no stone un-turned." Hornitor ordered, as the Stingers flew around searching.
Lincoln and the girls peeked around the corner and saw the Stingers on the hunt, "What're they doing?" Sid asked.
"Looks like they're looking for something," Ronnie Anne suspected, "But what?"
"Whatever it is, it must be important," Lincoln replied, "I'm going in for a close up," he rolled up his sleeve and turned the dial before selecting an alien, "It's hero time!" he slammed down on the dial.
As the Stingers searched around, they heard hooting sounds before one was caught by a spider threat and thrown into two more. The Stingers and Hornitor looked seeing Spidermonkey hanging from a lamppost before dropping down.
"Hey, guys!"
When the aliens recognized the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, Hornitor buzzed angrily, "Loud!"
"Hey, Hornitor, dig that beauty mark." the hero motioned to the scar Hornitor received from him the first time they fought.
Hornitor was not amused, "You will pay for that."
"Sorry, don't have my wallet on me," Spidermonkey joked, "So what're you guys doing here in the big city?"
"That's none of your concern." the general answered.
"Oh, keeping secrets, huh? Well, I guess I'm gonna have to find out on my own." Spidermonkey jumped into battle latching onto one Stinger's face.
"Get him off!" the bug alien buzzed, as two more tried to attack the hero, who let go.
Spidermonkey continued to dance around them, while shooting web strands at the Stingers while trying to tie them up. The Stingers managed to use their stinging swords to cut themselves free, as Hornitor attacked the hero.
"Before you and I fought, I never lost a battle." the general began.
"Wow. Guess I broke your streak, huh?"
"I swear when this is over the thing that will be broken next is you!" Hornitor swung his sting sword at Spidermonkey who kept jumping around to avoid the sharp weapon.
As Ronnie Anne and Sid watched their friend from a distance, Sid suddenly heard something, "Huh?" she looked around and saw something hiding underneath a bench. She went over and looked underneath the bench to see what was hiding, "Whoa. Hey, little guys. Where'd you come from? Ronnie Anne, you gotta see this!" Ronnie Anne went over and was shocked.
"No way." she gasped.
"This must be what they're looking for." Sid said.
"We got to get Lincoln over here." Ronnie Anne said, as she went back to the corner to watch the fight.
As Spidermonkey kept dodging Hornitor and the Stingers, he saw Ronnie Anne peeking around the corner motioning him to come over. Needing to act fast he spat bigger webs up pinning the Stingers and their general to the ground.
"Bye, guys. Gotta swing!" he jumped up and grabbed onto a lamp post before swinging off.
Hornitor watched and buzzed, "I'll get you, Loud."
As Spidermonkey met up with Ronnie Anne and Sid in a secure location behind a dumpster, he changed back, "What's up?"
"Sid and I might've found out what they're looking for."
"What is it?"
"This." Sid opened her arms to reveal she was holding a small black creature but when it lifted it's head up it had a familiar green eye outline with green circuitry markings on its back.
Lincoln looked in shock and gasped, "No way!"
The creature spoke, "Ship-Ship!"
(And there you go. Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, and Sid have discovered the Stingers are on the hunt for a little mechamorph who was their captive. Don't miss next time.)
