The Tennyson Trio and their plus one have currently taken another stop, somewhere near San Francisco. And during this time, they decided to wait in a long line to buy a newly released game. "We've been in this line for two hours and it hasn't budged an inch," Gwen wined, scratching her leg.
"Small price to pay for Sumo Slammers 2.1. I'd do anything to get that game... even be seen in public with you.", Ben said with a sideways glance at Gwen.
Gwen crossed her arms. "Don't you already have this stupid game?"
"Hello! This is Sumo Slammers 2.1, you can change your fighters color anytime during the match.", Ben said as Alex looked down and just shook his head.
"Y'know theres a nice air conditioned bookstore over there. Maybe we can wait inside until the line thins out a bit," Max said with a smile.
"And lose my place?! Not an option.", Ben crossed his arms as Alex shook his head.
"You guys go ahead, we'll stay and wait.", Alex waved them off.
"And you're not coming because???", Gwen tilted her head and wondered why he'd stay.
"Well other then the obvious, there's this new Samurai Jack game that just came out after being delayed for about a year. So, we'll meet you guys back at the RV.", Alex said with a smile as the other two walked down the street and to the bookstore.
~
It's been at least another hour, maybe slightly more since they were in there, and the line had thinned out so much that the line wasn't stretching near the bookstore. So, seeing this Max and Gwen walked out.
"Think those two have gone stir crazy in that line yet?" Gwen asked jokingly, before a familiar red figure leap red out.
Yep... Muscle Bound. Or what looked like him anyways, his shirt lacked a certain alien badge, and he looked to be a much darker shade of red. The Tetramand looked ahead to see police, and in response, he grabbed it with two hands and tore it in half, causing the cops to fall out.
"Uhhh, why is Alex going berserk and tossing around police officers.", Gwen asked stepping back.
"Good question."
The Tetramand simply stood there as the police officers shot at him, so in response he picked them up and threw the two into a nearby store. It looked over again to see more of them, and with a twisted grin on his face he casually picked up a car and threw it at them.
"He must've snapped his cap.", Gwen thought it was completely absurd Alex would react this violently to waiting this long... or Ben convinced him to.
With a quick stomp, The Tetramand sent approaching police cars swerving and crashing
Suddenly, a vehicle pulled up, more like an armored car actually. Then, four figures stepped out, mostly wearing black with goggles. Their leader had a buzzcut, with a long scar on his face. He wore a black shirt with two straps, carrying guns in the pockets. In addition, he wore a belt with pouches. He had grey pants. "Lieutenant Steel, Special Alien Containment Team. We'll take it from here officers." Steel said with a drill Sargent like tone. "Concussion bazooka!"
Seconds after he said this, two of his men pulled out a giant device resembling a bazooka. One of them was wearing a harness that had at least four battery packs connected by a long red tube in which the other one held up the end of it and aimed at the creature.
In response, the Tetramand ceased movement and gestures them to do it, having a smirk that just oozed overconfidence. "Fire!" In response to their leaders command, the two operatives shot out a narrow yellow beam at the thing which sending it flying into a store nearby.
Seconds after, the creature stood up and walked out completely unbothered by the laser. He kicked up a car with his foot and threw it at them, before leaping away.
"There's gotta be a logical explanation... right?", Max said completely bewildered at what just happened.
"Are you two demented?!", Gwen stormed into the RV seeing Alex and Ben playing their respective video games. "Going alien just to snag a stupid game?!"
Alex and Ben looked at each other with the same confused expression. "Elaborate?, Alex looked at Gwen with a raised eyebrow.
"You going four armed freaky in front of that store that's what I'm talking about.", Gwen growled as her hands glowed with blue mana.
"I'm sure they have a good reason for doing it, don't you?", Max looked at the two.
"Um... yeah. We don't know what you're talking about.", Alex said unbothered and went back to playing Shadow of Aku.
"Yeah we were in line, got our games and left. Simple.", Ben said very casually.
"I'm not sure if some dictionary bonked you on the noggin but I didn't do anything, alright?", Alex looked at her with a shaking head.
"Good, so who's that?" Alice said as she pointed to the mini TV, displaying news of the recent Tetramand attack.
Alex immediately jolted up. "Thats not me!" He said slightly offended.
"Yeah, I'm sure it's another four armed alien going freaky in front of a store.", Gwen said rolling her eyes.
Alex laughed at her. "Ah so Tetrax doesn't exist anymore? C'mon Gwen, listen to yourself. You have a grandfather who's met countless of aliens and I have a watch with aliens. So it's extremely likely all the Omnitrix aliens live out somewhere in the Universe."
"He's right Gwen, besides, he wouldn't be so irresponsible his powers like that.", Gwen looked up at Max. "We'll not that irresponsible."
Alex nodded with a grin on his face. "Challenge accepted."
Alex looked around at the destruction the Tetramand caused and kicked away a brick that was smashed out of place. "Criminals always return to the scene of the crime."
"I swear to god, if you don't shut up imma tape your mouth shut.", Alex immediately shut her up.
"What're your expecting to find that nobody else couldn't?", Max asked as Ben's eyes wandered about before catching the gaze of the Tetramand from before.
"There he is-", Ben was cut off as Alex immediately chased after the runaway alien, the Tennyson trio following behind.
Alex jumped on a box and leapt over a fence as he spotted the Tetramand on top of the US Mint. "Hurry up, he's in the Mint!"
~
"Are you sure he went in here?", Max ran in as Ben and Gwen couldn't find Alex once they got in. Right on cue, ah explosion occurred, they quickly ran towards the cause of it... which was Sunburn. However his rocks looked much darker then before.
Sunburn shot out a fireball, which narrowly missed one of the guards. "Okay, I was willing to give him one chance but two of his aliens attacking San Francisco? That can't be a coincidence. I'm stopping this right now!", Gwen pulled out Charmcasters spell book and was ready to fight him. "Yo! Hothead, back off the fite works before someone gets really hurt! Now if you take responsibility for the wacko stuff you've been doing lately I'm sure we can help you!"
"Uhhh, right here.", Gwen turned to see Alex waving at her before immediately turning back to The Pyronite.
"So who are you?", Gwen backed away as the creature turned around.
"I'm a hottie, can't you tell?", The Pyronite shot out a flame throwers at Gwen, who immediately erected a barrier shortly after Crazy Diamond jumped in and punched the Pyronite. With this opportunity, both the Tennyson trio and the security guards ran out.
Crazy Diamond gasped and used his fingers to frame the Pyronite who was rubbing his jaw. "Is that an Oscar just for me? Y'know I was thinking Emmy but beggars can't be choosers." the crystalline alien said before shooting a barrage of crystals at him. The Pyronite narrowly dodged and blinded him with a fire ball to the face. Crazy Diamond looked around, wondering where he'd gone to. "What's the point of this? Why give aliens a bad name?"
"Why not?", a fire ball shot out from an unspecified direction, Crazy Diamond quickly dodged the shower of of coins. "Hey! It's raining money.", The Pyronite said as he walked up to him.
"I recognize that voice.", Crazy Diamond thought to himself before smirking. "Framing me? C'mon Kevin, you gotta try harder then that."
The Pyronite responded in kind, he morphed his head only, switching through A Galvanic Mechamorph, to a Petrosapian, to an Arachnidchimp, and then finally Kevin's face emerged. "Knew you'd figure it out."
"Yeah. Let me guess, you weren't drained of my powers back in New York right?", Crazy Diamond said with a grin.
"You guess right. Turns out I absorbed enough of that weird watch energy and if I concentrated hard enough, I could transform into any of those aliens inside. Only problem is I can only stay human for a short time.", Kevin said crossing his arms, Crazy Diamond yawned.
"Sounds like you're whining about putting yourself in this situation.", Crazy Diamond said as Kevin growled.
"It's payback time Alex, everything fifty fifty. I'll do the crime and you'll do the time.", Kevin said as the two heard the sounds of vehicles approaching. "Keep the change-", he grunted as he morphed into a paler version of Cold Soar. "You can use it to pay your bail.", he said before flying through the wall.
A few seconds later, the SACT Operatives surrounded him. "Sorry rock head, no alien withdrawals on my watch," Steel said next to one of them.
"You've missed your guy.", Crazy Diamond said calmly, crossing his arms. "I'm the good guy here."
"Like those alien heroes all over the news nowadays? No sale. To me you're just walking chandelier.", Steel said, shaking his head. "We'll let the boys at Area 51 look you over. Chicago, Tallahassee, Barstow. You and your outer space buddies have been givin me a real pain in the neck. But you're not getting away with it this time."
"Cant get away with something I haven't done now can I?", Crazy Diamond said as he sharpened his fingers, quickly turning around and shooting the barrels of the SACT operatives behind him then quickly running past.
"After that thing!", Steel yelled out to his men, who immediately started to chase after.
Crazy Diamond quickly dodged a laser blast, before shooting diamond boomerangs at them. He noticed the other three running after him, but he quickly erected a wall made of diamond shards then quickly climbed up the ladder. Steel noticed him and he and his men quickly ran to meet him up there.
Crazy Diamond finally climbed his way up, searching for a spot to time out safely, as he had little time left. That's when he noticed a SACT operative and Steel were blocking his exits. "Nowhere to run."
"I wouldn't be so sure.", Crazy Diamond leapt off the bridge and crashed down into one of the machines. Steel looked down to see he had already ran off again.
A SACT operative patrolling the ground armed himself with his pistol, before seeing a red flash erupt. He quickly ran over and aimed at Alex. "Woah! Relax man!", he put his hands up in defense.
"Just a kid.", the operative sighed, in which Alex had to force himself not to grin.
~
"Thank goodness you've found him.", Gwen pulled Alex into a VERY tight hug. "He's always wandering off somewhere, we're considering getting a leash.", Alex managed to pull himself free from Gwen.
Steel looked down at the Omnitrix. "Nice watch kid, where'd you get it?"
"Yeah, got it from Japan.", Alex said quickly, hoping he'd fall for it.
"No sign of the alien sir! It's like that thing disappeared into thin air."
"I don't suppose you four know anything about this alien?", Steel cocked a brow.
"Not really, but we'd tell you if we did.", Ben said with a shrug.
"Sure you would.", Steel said as the four walked off. "Keep an eye on them, they know more then they're saying."
~
The four had returned to the RV, and at that point Alex had told them what new information he found out. "Turns out it was Kevin at both the GameStop and the Mint," Alex said as Gwen was busying herself by searching up crimes caused by aliens.
"That'd explain a lot, that kid has a couple of screws missing in his noggin," Max said pointing at his head.
"But why does that swat team guy think all aliens are bad?", Ben asked confused.
"Hey, check this out.", Gwen turned the computer to them, which showed Derek as a strange alien, looking like a humanoid fish. "Your friend had been busy, not just here. Spider-Monkey Terrorizes Tallahassee, Fish man in Colorado, The Mothman of Barstow."
"Imma get blamed for all that stuff and I haven't done any of it.", Alex said as he perked up, both he and Max looked out the window to see a trolly train speeding down the street covered in a black, white and green substance. "Kevin!"
"Boy must've gone upgrade and jacked that cable car.", Max said as a green flash erupted.
"Let's make haste!", Drag Racer said before speeding out of the Rust Bucket and down the street. However he didn't notice two SACT operatives posted up on a roof.
"Mobile one, a speed alien ran out the RV, heading down California street," the SACT operative said on a roof with his partner, before nodding, probably something from Steel
~
Inside the car filled with screaming passengers, the driver tries to stop the car by pulling the lever. Suddenly, a green circle appeared in front of him. "Now why are you doing that? We're just starting to have fun!" Kevin's voice, sounding like it came out of a speaker, said as tentacles emerged from him and ripped the lever out.
Drag Racer had effortlessly caught up to them, leaping onto the roof and transforming into Trench Monkey. Kevin's 'eye' appeared on the roof. "Sorry Al, no pets allowed!"
Trench Monkey let out a chirp as he flipped up, narrowly missing spikes and swinging into the trolly train. "Peek-a-boo.", Kevin's head poked up before he formed a fist and uppercutted Trench Monkey into the roof before being met with a chair to the face.
"Heh," Kevin snickered as he started to de-merge from the trolley, reforming on its roof. "Breaks are out, hero's trapped and everyone's about to take a nice swim in the bay, my works done here." G.M Derek said as his body started to mutate in a very disgusting way, now morphing into a Cold Soar. Taking a deep breath of relief before flying off.
"Ow.", Trench Monkey rubbed his head before looking up to see the Rust Bucket close behind. "Alex! Attached the line to the bottom of the RV", Max yelled out to him.
In response, Trench Monkey used his wall crawling power to keep him steady as he grabbed it and hooked it to the bottom of the RV. "Ready!", he said before leaping up and erupting into a green light.
Now all Max needed all he could do to brake the movements, which proved to be harder than he thought. So in response, the RV's tire attached to the back opened up and shot out an anchor, which attached to a building. Parasite landed a few feet away from the trolly train, stretching himself to stop the train from going any further. With both the anchor and the wall of Symbiote, the trolly train was finally stopped.
Parasite gave Max a thumbs up and swung off, shooting a black tendril and swinging away similarly to Trench Monkey.
Later at night, the RV stops in a parking lot Grandpa Max, Ben and Gwen come out. It seems that they were there to pick Alex up after the incident. "I was aiming for Circuit Breaker the first time but hey, it worked." Alex said with a shrug.
"Not bad." Gwen said patting his head.
"FREEZE!" Steel said, what looked like a couple of dozen operatives there, with their guns pointed at them. "One wrong move and you're Swiss cheese! You have two choices, tell me what you know about these aliens or get measured for your prison uniforms. It's got something to do with that watch isn't it?", Steel said pointing at the Omnitrix. "Is it some kind of signal to call the aliens?"
Alex simply laughed. "Wow, I bet you feel real tough aiming all those guns at four kids and an old man. No wonder why people call you in."
"You getting smart with me brat?", Steel narrowed his eyes at Alex, who shrugged.
"How am I gonna get smart if there's only a couple of rock heads?", Alex said with a smile.
Before Steel could retaliate, one of his operatives spoke up. "Sir, that crystal alien is back. He's on the Golden Gate Bridge, it looks like it could bring down the whole bridge."
Steel let go of the boy before Max could punch right through his face, and pulled out his walky-talky. "Pick up at my twenty. We're not done yet." Steel said as he and his men turned and walked off, a helicopter appeared and picked him up.
"Guess I'll help.", Alex said shrugging as the other three looked at him as if he was genuinely considering not helping.
Kevin in his Petrosapian was on top the bridge, shooting out diamond shards from his hands, which severed the cords connecting to the bridge, which in rapid de destroyed a couple of cars, along with causing an explosion. He smirked as he turned and shot the helicopter that had just arrived, causing Steel to leap down and land in front of him.
"If it isn't my bestie, Lieutenant Steel." Petrosapian Kevin said with a smirk as the lieutenant of the SACT ran right at him. In response, Kevin just grabbed him with his crystal hand and slammed him right into the ground, before picking him back up and round house kicking him against the Metal wall.
"Here, for your funeral bill," Petrosapian Derek said as he shot out shards into the lieutenants legs, Steel quickly moved his legs out the way before being kicked in the face by Kevin, breaking his nose. He walked over and picked up the blond man, forming a blade in his other hand and ready to gut him open.
"Let him for Kevin.", Kevin looked around to see Muscle Bound standing behind him. "This is about you and me."
"Sounds fine by me!" Kevin said as he threw the Lieutenant off, who thankfully landed on one of the upper cords, clenching for dear life. "Still tryna be the goodie two shoes Alex? Lemme guess, you just wanna help me?" Kevin asked mockingly, even snickering.
"Why would I help you? You've been given plenty of chances. This time, you're getting what you deserve.", Muscle Bound narrowed his four eyes at him.
"Awwww, does this mean we're not best buddies anymore?" Kevin snickered again as he fired off diamond shards at him again, in which Muscle Bound leapt at him and drop kicked him in the face. Kevin formed a blade from his hand and attempted to stab him before being sent flying back into a wall.
"You've risked all those innocent lives just to get even with me?"
"Nobody's innocent! They just haven't had the chance to make fun of me yet!", Kevin yelled out as he got back up and ran at him before being met with another fist to the face.
~
"Targets sighted," the SACT Operative said into his com, along with his comrade holding up the concussion bazooka. "Permission to fire?"
[Fire on my command. Repeat, fire on my command.]
The SACT operative looked highly irritated before his comrade just looked at him. "You really don't wanna disobey Steel."
~
Kevin put his guard up to block his hits, but he noticed he was starting to chip away at his defenses. He was suddenly picked up and slammed into the floor. Kevin looked up to notice Muscle Bound was going to attack again, Kevin quickly morphed into a Pyronite and unleashed a powerful flamethrower at him. Muscle Bound stumbled back surprised at this, Kevin responded in kind by shooting another flamethrower at him.
Muscle Bound grinned and retaliated by clapping his hands with so much force, it sent a shockwave towards him, extinguishing his flames before throwing him into the air. Kevin took this opportunity to morph into a Necrofriggian. Right as he was flying at Muscle Bound, he unwillingly morphed back into his human form, simply bouncing off his chest and onto the floor in front of him.
Muscle Bound looked confused but walked over to Kevin, looking down as Kevin closed his eyes as Muscle abound stomped the space next to his head. Then turning to walk away. "Get back here and fight! I'm not done with you yet!"
"But I'm through with you, you're not worth it anymore. You never were.", Muscle Bound coldly stated as Kevin grits his teeth.
The rage he felt reached its boiling point, he started to transform again... though not into one transformation. His arms grew in size, along with growing another pair, his entire body grew twice as large and completely ripped through his shirt, growing a tail with a blue cloak bursting out of his back. Letting out one final scream to complete his transformation.
Generally, Kevin 11 mostly resembles a reddish-pink version of Muscle Bound but with an upper left arm belonging to Sunburn, an upper right arm belonging to Crazy Diamond, and lower arms belonging to both Trench Monkey and Kracklescean. He also has Cold Soar's wings, Drag Racer's tail, and an upper back resembling Circuit Breaker. His head consists of his own hair and ears, two left eyes belonging to Muscle Bound, a right eye belonging to his human form, and Lagoon's lure, teeth, mouth/jaw interior, and gills. He wears Kevin's cargo shorts. Kevin looked at himself in horror, he concentrated to transform into his human form again, he failed at doing so. "Wha- no! I can't change back?! LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"
"Is there anything I'm not gonna get blamed for today?", Muscle Bound scratched his head as Kevin used his super speed to close the distance between him and Alex. Once he got close, Muscle Bound narrowly dodged his left hook and countered with an uppercut to his jaw.
Kevin 11 slid back but seconds after he regained his footing he charged in again. Using a combination of his super speed and flight to rush in and hit him with a right hook so hard it send a light purple tooth covered in green blood flying out. Muscle Bound quickly grabbed his wrist and punched him in the face, with Kevin doing the same before receiving a head butt to the face. Kevin growled and expanded his jaw to chomp down on him before being punched in the gut by one of Muscle Bounds lower arm and immediately thrown off him.
Kevin 11 growled and shot a glob of webbing at his foot with Trench Monkey's arm, charging in again and throwing him over the railing, in which Muscle Bound grabbed onto the ledge as his hand was stepped on. "You'll never beat me, because you're the good guy! And good guys don't have the guts to finish guys like me off."
"But I do. Fire!", Fire!", Steel said as the concussion cannon was fired off. The blast had enough force to send Kevin flying off the Golden Gate Bridge, hitting his head on the huge metal ropes before landing in the water below.
Muscle Bound pulled himself up and over the railing, popping his neck before jumping over to Steel, picking him up and helping him stand. "Are you still looking for me?"
[Second target locked on. Permission to fire?]
Steel pressed the button on his walky talky. "We've got our alien. Stand down.", Muscle Bound grinned as he leapt off. "Well what're you waiting for a pretty please? Get me down off of here!"
~
"Not even Kevin could survive that blast," Alice said looking somewhat nervous at his eventual return.
"I don't have high hopes he did," Alex said adjusting his glasses, before exhaling.
As the Tennyson's and their plus one drive off to their next destination, Steel stops them to have a talk with them, walking to the passenger window. "Why is it that you three are always around when Aliens show up?"
"Really? We hadn't noticed," Max said using a very fake surprised tone, which sounded convincing regardless.
"Yeah, might be just coincidence. Maybe we'll see each other again. Drive carefully, there's a lot of weird shit in the world," Steel said as Alex mainly chuckled.
"You're tellin us," Alex snickered as he rolled up the window, before the RV drove off.
/End/
