(Song Starts)

It started when an alien device did what it did

And stuck itself upon her wrist with secrets that it hid

Now she's got super powers, she's no ordinary kid

She's Gwen 10. (Gwen 10)

So if you see her you might be in for a big surprise,

She'll turn into an alien before your very eyes

She's slimy, creepy, fast and strong

She's every shape and size

She's Gwen 10 (Gwen 10)

Armed with powers, she's on the case

Fighting off evil from Earth or space

She'll never stop till she makes them pay

'Cause she's the brightest kid to ever save the day

Gwen 10

(Song Ends)


Chapter 5: New York B.C.-ity

It was night time in New York, unfortunately it was as peaceful at the moment. An apartment building at the moment was on fire. People outside the building watched as the fire continued to burn the apartment complex. Police were keeping people back until the fire department could arrive. On the scene was Lieutenant Terri Lee herself.

"Make sure to keep those people back," She ordered the other policeman. A male civilian tried to rush to the building only for Terri to hold him back. "Sir, you need to stay back!"

"But my wife and son are still in the building," The civilian nearly shouted.

"The fire department is on their way," She informed. "Until then—"

"Lieutenant," An officer interrupted pointing to the sky.

She looked up and in awe she saw was a racing fireball streaking across the sky. She saw something riding on it and she wasn't wrong. She saw Heatblast riding the fireball before it made its way to the ground below in front of the building. The people stood back as the female fire alien landed on the street. Heatblast turned to Terri with a smile and wave.

"Lieutenant Lee," Heatblast spoke. "It's been a while."

Terri smiled before walking up to Heatblast. "Thank god, you showed up."

Heatblast turned her attention to the building before asking, "What's the situation?"

"We have two civilians inside," Terri informed her. "A woman and child are trapped in one of the top floor departments."

"Luckily for you I showed up," Heatblast said before running to the building.

She rushed to the door, ripping it off its hinges and rushing into the blazing building. She looked around and saw a flight of stairs leading up to the top floor. Wasting no time she rushed up the steps. She then rushed to one of the apartments and smashed the door down. She looked and saw the two people she was looking for.

They were about to be crushed by burning debris from the ceiling. Heatblast rushed towards them and was able to grab the debris before it crushed the woman and child. The woman and child looked at Heatblast in awe as she held up the debris.

"No way," The child said in awe. "It's Gwen 10!"

Heatblast smiled at the kid before replying, "Yep, but at the moment I'm Heatblast." She then chunked the debris away as she looked at the two civilians. "Let's get you two out of here."

Wasting no time, she turned to the entrance, which was now ablaze, and pointed her palms at the flames. The fire then suddenly was sucked into her palms, clearing a path for the two civilians to follow. She then gestured them to follow which they complied.

They ran to the stairwell, unfortunately the structure collapsed into the inferno below. Heatblast's eyes widened at that before saying, "Okay, the stairs are out of service." She looked around before laying her eyes on a window to her left and smiled. "But I think it's time to make an emergency exit!"

She then held out her palms before firing blast of fire at it. Outside, Heatblast's fire cut a hole around the window. The civilians watched as the window fell from the building before a torrent of fire erupted from it. The police and civilians watched as the fire landed on the street in front of the building before it dissipated to reveal an amazing sight.

There before them was Heatblast along with the mother and child unscathed. The father of the family rushed to his wife and child and they all embraced one another. The scene was sweet considering no one died in the fire.

The sounds of cameras flashing was heard as Heatblast looked at the crowd of people. She saw various people taking pictures of her with their phones. She decided to humor them and do a few poses for their pictures. It wasn't before long a Daily Bugle Communications vehicle pulls up and a news crew rushes to the female fire alien. Heatblast inwardly groaned as William Harangue rushed up with the crew.

Harangue began his newscast as his cameraman gave the signal. "William Harangue of Daily Bugle Communications live on the scene. Behind me you can see that Gwen 10 is at it again as a building was set ablaze by her reckless behavior. Gwen 10 how do you live with yourself knowing you took away a home from these innocent people?"

Before Heatblast could say anything, Terri Lee stood between her and Harangue with a minor frown before saying. "Here's a thought. How about you and your crew go your merry way before I arrest you for harassing a law-abiding citizen?"

"You can't do that," Harangue argued. "That goes against the freedom of speech law of the Constitution."

"Says the guy whose profession is nothing more than yellow journalism," Terri replied. This caused Heatblast to silently snicker.

Harangue frowned before fixing his tie and turned to his crew before saying, "Come on, we've got other news to cover." With that he walked away.

Heatblast turned to Terri before saying, "Thanks for that. You didn't have to stand up for me."

Terri smiled before saying, "Not a problem. You shouldn't let guys like him get to you. Hopefully I won't get chewed out by the captain for this."

"Don't worry," Heatblast said before winking at her. "If I see Captain Stacy I'll tell him you were sticking up for me and make sure to keep the 'heat' off you." This made Terri chuckle at the joke being said.

"Hey!" A voice called out catching both Heatblast and Terri's attention. There they saw White Tiger on a S.H.I.E.L.D. grade cycle parked on the side of the street in front of them. "I hate to ruin this happy moment but I got news. Apparently the apartment fire was just a diversion to cover up a jewelry store robbery. The crooks are getting away."

Heatblast nodded, turning to Terri before saying, "It was great catching up, Lieutenant, but a hero's work is never done."

With that said a chunk of the sidewalk beneath Heatblast rose up. She commanded the piece to float next to White Tiger, who began revving her cycle before zooming off. Heatblast made a two-finger salute to the Lieutenant before quickly following after her white-clad teammate.

On the streets in the city, a small black car was speeding past other cars in minor traffic. People crossing the crosswalk jumped out of the way as it passed by. Inside the car, two thugs wearing black masks, gloves and a black overcoat were smiling for their successful heist.

"Ha, ha!" The first thug said. "That heist was a cinch."

"Yeah," The second thug said as he looked into the bag of jewelry. "This loot's going to make us rich!"

The thug driving then noticed something in the rear view mirror, which made his eyes widen before saying, "Oh crap! We've got company."

The thing he saw in the rear view mirror was Heatblast along with White Tiger speeding up on the hoodlums. The thug driving the car didn't waste time pushing the accelerator pedal down speeding the vehicle up.

(Hey fellow viewers, Gwen 10 here to give the heads up on what's happening now. As you can see, Spider-Man isn't with me at the moment. What is our favorite wall crawler doing you ask? Well, Fury decided that since there were six of us we could have an outing team on certain days. Spidey and his team, which consists of Power Man and Iron Fist, are tracking down Toad who committed a few thefts. I decided for my team today we'd go after lowly crooks. Speaking of which…)

The car made a sharp turn to the right speeding down another street. Heatblast and White Tiger were close behind the car containing the crooks. Heatblast made a glare at the car as she got an idea. She started forming a large ball of fire between her palms as prepared.

"All bases lined," She said in a joking manner. "Here's the wind up and the pitch." She then threw the fireball at the vehicle. The ball of flame hit the back left tire of the car, causing the tire to pop off and the car to be thrown into the air. "Strike!"

The car landed back on the road, without the tires it was making a beeline for a brick wall. The thugs in the car screamed as the car made impact with the wall. The car was damaged, its front was crushed inward, no tires and every window including the windshield were shattered. The two thugs in the car were thankfully unharmed, shook up but unharmed.

The thug driver groaned before turning his attention to the side. There he and his partner saw Heatblast walk up to the door, before ripping it from the car itself. She then used her strength to bend the door inward causing the thugs to shiver in fear.

"Unless you punks want a permanent sunburn," She said in a threatening tone. "Hands against the wall."

The thugs immediately complied as they walked to the wall and placed their hands on it. They knew New York had tons of heroes and they thought they were going to be lucky tonight. Boy, were they wrong about that.

"You punks picked the wrong day to be bad—"

Bleep beep bleep FLASH

"—guys." An entirely different female voice said.

The thugs heard this before turning around. There they saw in Heatblast's place was Gwen 10, who was giving them the same look her previous form was giving before. The thugs then smirked at the teenage hero. This made her raise a brow.

"What are you two—" She then realized her voice was back to normal and immediately looked down at her regular human hands. She then looked to the Omnitrix, which the hourglass symbol in the middle was red in Recharge Mode. "Oh, come on!" She looked back that the thugs, who had smirks on their faces and popping their knuckles.

"Any last words, brat?" The first thug said.

Gwen then smirked before saying, "Yeah, did you know it's not wise to keep your backs to a tiger?"

Just as she said that, something landed behind the thugs catching their attention. As they turned, White Tiger jumped between the two and performed a split kick on the thug's heads. After making contact the two thugs groaned before passing out onto the pavement in a heap. Gwen 10 then gave a smile to her white-clad teammate.

"Some people just don't follow good advice," She said. "Thanks for the assist, Tiger."

"You know," White Tiger said. "That could have gone bad if I wasn't with you."

Gwen 10 shrugs before saying, "At least it didn't right?" She then looked around with a raised brow as if looking for someone. "Hey have you seen—"

"Hey guys!" A male voice called out catching their attention.

They looked up to see a figure covered in an aura of blue energy flying towards them before landing in front of the two heroines. It was Nova who happened to be carrying what appeared to be chili dog in his hand.

"Nova, where were you?" White Tiger asked then noticed the piece of food in his hand. "Is that a chili dog?"

"Yeah," He replied. "There was local vendor down the street and I was hungry so I thought—"

"Nova," Gwen 10 interrupted. "We're supposed to be catching criminals, not having a snack break."

"So?" Nova said. "These guys are nothing more than bugs compared to other bad guys we fight. Plus I knew you two could handle it."

"Get it through your thick skull, Bucket Head," White Tiger spoke up. "If it wasn't for me being here, Gwen could have been hurt or worse."

"But she isn't," Nova said. "So everything is fine."

Gwen 10 groans. "Nova…"

"Okay, okay," He said in an apologetic tone. "So maybe leaving you two to a bunch of jewelry robbers wasn't a good thing."

White Tiger raised a knowing brow before saying, "You think?"

"The point of this was for all of us work together as a team, Nova," Gwen 10 scolded the helmet wearing hero. "Fury is going to get on your case big time for this stunt."

Nova then holds up a bag to Gwen before saying, "Would it make you less angry at me that I got you some chili fries?"

Hearing that, Gwen grabbed the bag from Nova before opening up to reveal the contents inside. There before her eyes were the mixture of chili and French fries which the aroma was tantalizing. She then grabbed a single chili covered fry before eating it, where the flavor danced around on her tongue. She hummed in ecstasy she devoured the piece of fast food.

(What? Chili fries are good. I can't help that it's my favorite food.)

"Alright," Gwen spoke up. "I'm less angry than before." Nova was about to speak until she continued, "But that's not going to stop me from telling Fury."

With that, she ate another chili fry before walking along with White Tiger to her bike. Both sat down on it before they zoomed off down the road. Nova stood there in shock for a few minutes. He then shook his head out of the stupor before shouting, "Oh, come on!"


The next day in the lab of Dr. Otto Octavius, both he and Dr. Animo were working on an experiment at the moment. Thanks to the funding Norman Osborn provided they would be able to do their research to their fullest. The experiment was placed on hold at the moment as Norman Osborn's face appeared on the screen of the large monitor in the lab. They turned their attention to the wealthy man in question.

"Gentleman," Norman said. "I trust the project is going smoothly?"

"We're just in the middle of an experiment, Mr. Osborn." Octavius said. "The process is very delicate."

"An experiment?" Osborn asked. "Please enlighten me."

"If you must know, Mr. Osborn," Dr. Animo spoke up. "You wish to create an army of spider-enhanced super soldiers. Not only that but provide a copy of the device that Gwen 10 uses for her abilities. While the second one isn't within our reach at the moment, I'd like to share with you an alternate solution. Why go after Spider-Man's DNA when we can just gather DNA from the core specimen itself. What I'm talking about, Mr. Osborn, is the spider itself."

"Go on," Osborn said urging him to continue.

"Dr. Animo gave an option that we could take samples of DNA from various animals. With those samples he and I could create serums for each specific animal to inject into human hosts. Once there the hosts will obtain the abilities of the animal, depending on the serum."

"By utilizing the genetic code," Dr. Animo added. "You can have your army for sale for not just a spider but the entire animal kingdom!"

Norman pondered about this. An army of Spider-Men was tempting but to stick with that would be predictable. An army filled with super soldiers having the abilities of certain animals, now that was tempting. It would, however, cause a few setbacks considering the two scientists would need time to gather various samples. This was something he had to think about.

"The offer is tempting, gentlemen," He said. "However, I wish to think about it. Until then keep working on the Spider-Man/Gwen 10 project." With that, the video cut off and the monitor's screen went back to normal.

"Well," Dr. Animo said turning to Octavius. "I believe that went better than expected, don't you think?"

"Don't get confident, Animo," Octavius said before turning back to the current experiment. "The chances of Norman Osborn turning down the offer are still high. In the meantime, we need to complete this experiment."

Suddenly, a beeping sound was heard coming from Animo's pocket. He reached in and pulled out what appeared to be his phone. Dr. Animo looked at the screen a bit before his brow furrowed.

"Sorry about this, Dr. Octavius," Animo said. "But apparently an unwanted guest has entered my home. I must attend to this matter. Will you be able to complete the experiment on your own?"

Octavius gave a mild smirk as a metallic tentacle raised in front of his face before saying, "I've got more than enough 'hands' to complete the experiment at the current stage."


In the city, a man was knocking on the door of Animo's apartment. He was a short, balding man with brown hair and dark brown eyes. He wore a brown suit and tie. His face at the moment contained a frown where his brows were furrowed.

He rapped on the door again before shouting, "Yo, Animo? I know you're in there, open up!"

No one answered him causing him to frown more. Without wasting any time he pulled out a set of keys from his pocket before inserting one into the lock. He turned the key unlocking the door allowing entry into the apartment. As he walked in, he was welcomed with a sight unlike any other.

In the apartment, various terrariums and cages were seen housing various species of animals. It ranged from various amphibians, reptiles and a few mammals. It made the man wonder what Animo needed all these creatures for. It sure wasn't for the current odor in the air he could tell someone that.

"Shoo," The man said waving his right hand in front of his face with disgust. "Smells like a zoo in here."

The man then walked up to one of the terrariums and looked inside. Inside was what appeared to be a green bullfrog. It croaked a bit before making a minor hop inside its glass home. Unknown to the man, a shadowed silhouette was watching him. It walked up to him causing the man to turn around and scream in fright. The man saw that is was Animo, who had a frown of his own on his face.

"How did you get in?" Animo asked in a grouchy tone.

"Pass key," The man replied in a fidgety voice. "I am still your landlord, remember? Maybe not since your rent is six months past due."

"All my funds go into my research," Animo replied before pointing to the door. "Now get out! You're disturbing me."

The landlord grunted in disapproval before saying, "Looks like you were disturbed long before I got here, pal. Listen Doc, you and your furry friends are out on the street unless you pony up the green."

Dr. Animo smirked when the landlord uttered that single word before grabbing a frog from the terrarium and placed it in front of the landlord. "'Pony up'. Interesting choice of phrases… You must be an animal lover? Then you're going to love this."

The landlord looked down at the frog for a bit then back at Animo. What was this guy going to accomplish with a frog? His question was halted as he saw Animo place something on his head and chest. It appeared to be a helmet of some kind. Though its main body was made from a strainer with what appeared to be horn-like antennas attached to it. Connected to it was a vest which had a silver chest piece with a turn dial on it. To the landlord it looked absolutely ridiculous.

The landlord laughed hard before asking, "What's that? You a member of the moose lodge or something?"

"This is my DNA Transmodulator," Animo grouchily explained. "Phase number one, it creates and accelerates mutations at the genetic level. Observe."

Animo turned the dial on his device clockwise. It then began to hum to life as red energy charged up on the antennas. Suddenly bolts of red energy zapped the frog in front of Animo, enveloping it the energy. Rapidly it began to grow in size and in appearance. It was around the size of an elephant. Its skin was moss green and had a light green neck. It had two small horns on its forehead and two bone horns coming out of the sides of its head. It had for red eyes and orange lumps on its back and hind legs.

The landlord back away in fear with a scream as the mutant frog lunged at him. The frog devoured the man in quick succession. The very man could be seen struggling in the throat of the beast as his muffled voice could be heard amongst his struggling. Animo laughed at the landlord's misery.

"I'm sorry," Animo said. "I can't hear you. It sounds like you have a frog in your throat. Ha, ha! Or is that the other way around?"

The mutant frog's throat bulged before it spat up its previous meal. The landlord screamed as he slammed against the wall, covered in the frog's saliva and bile. The man grunted in pain before passing out.

With that nuisance out of the way, Dr. Animo looked down at a newspaper clipping he held in his hand. He gripped the clipping hard before saying aloud, "So close to having what is rightfully mine. While the lab helped provide the equipment I needed, it didn't have the components I needed. All I need now are a few lousy components to finish my work."

Dr. Animo's attention was then turned to the television where an advertisement was being shown. There he saw an old man with a partially bald head wearing glasses, a little black mustache, a dark pink bow-tie, light pink-striped yellow shirt with a dark pink apron and brown pants mustache on the commercial.

He was giving a smile before saying, "So whether your needs from food, cosmetics or state-of-the-art electronics, you'll find them under the one roof of my fine establishment. So come on down to Bauman's Mega Mart. Whatever you need, I've got on sale!"

Dr. Animo then grinned at the commercial knowing what to do next before saying, "Ah, just what the doctor ordered."


(Hey guys, wonderful news about today. It's Saturday! Which means the girls and I are having our own little girl's day out. I never getting tired having a day while hanging out with Nancy, now I can share it with Ava. She's going to love it!)

In the streets of New York, Gwen, Ava and Nancy were walking side-by-side with one another. Since today was a Saturday, the girls decided to hang out with one another. However they weren't alone.

"Why am I here again?" Sam's voice spoke up catching their attention.

There behind them was Sam Alexander, aka Nova the Human Rocket. Right now on his face was a look of boredom. Gwen can understand why he'd have that expression. When a boy tags along with a group of girls it can mean only one thing, shopping pack mule. Gwen inwardly giggled at the thought considering the scolding the boy got from Nick Fury from the last assignment. You can say this was Sam's way to make up to her and Ava.

"Simple," Nancy's voice spoke up. "You are here to assist us in our shopping."

"In other words be your pack mule?" Sam asked.

Gwen then leaned in before whispering, "Look at it this way, it's either help us with our shopping or have to do what Fury suggested for your punishment."

Sam shuddered at the thought of the punishment. "Okay, I see your point."

They continued to walk down the street when they arrived at their destination. It was a large warehouse-like building with a fence at the front. On the front right side was a sign which showed Bauman's Mega Mart in bold red letters. They entered through the front entrance and had a sight to behold.

There before them the store was huge. They could see various customers shopping to their content as they walk past them. They then reached what appeared to be a 50's styled booth and bar. There Gwen saw a familiar face wiping a rag on the bar. The man looked up and gave a smile to the blonde teen.

"Well," He spoke. "Do my eyes deceive me? Is that you, Gwendolyn Stacey?"

"Hi, Mr. Bauman," Gwen said before hugging the man, who hugged back.

"My how you've grown," He said. "How's your father?"

"He's good," Gwen replied. "Still catching and putting away bad guys."

"As he should, being the captain of the police and all," Mr. Bauman said before turning to Nancy. "And little Nancy, it's been a while."

Nancy waved before saying, "Hiya, Mr. Bauman!"

"You're just in time," Mr. Bauman said. "I just received a shipment of pet products this morning. One line of products being an order of kitten milk formula, which I know you'll need for Mitten's kittens."

"Thank you, Mr. Bauman!" Nancy thanked him with a hug before rushing to the pet department.

Mr. Bauman chuckled a bit before saying, "Such a sweet girl." He then noticed Ava and Sam behind Gwen. "Care to introduce me to your friends, Gwendolyn?"

"Sure thing," Gwen said. "Mr. Bauman, these are my friends from school, Ava Ayala and Sam Alexander."

"Nice to meet you, sir," Ava said shaking Mr. Bauman's hand before Sam also shook the shop owner's hand.

(I know what you all are thinking, just who is this guy? Well this fine man is none other than Mr. Bauman. He owns this very store and has been a friend of my family for several years now. In fact, it was thanks to Mr. Bauman that I and Nancy became best friends.)

"So, Mr. Bauman," Gwen said catching the man's attention. "What do you have new at the counter?"

Mr. Bauman smiled before answering, "I'm glad you asked, Gwendolyn." He then gestured to what appeared to be a dispense machine behind him. "I just received a new smoothie maker earlier this week courtesy of the Mr. Smoothy Corporation."

Gwen tensed when she heard that. Mr. Smoothy was a popular restaurant distributor known to make fine tasting smoothies. She can remember a lifetime where she had a smoothie from the several establishments in the city. Just thinking about it made her mouth water.

(Mr. Smoothy!? That's my favorite confection drink of all time! I need to have one.)

"Mr. Smoothy?" Ava asked with a raised brow looking at Sam.

"Never even had one," Sam replied. This caused Gwen to gasp at her two friends.

"Never had one!?" She said. "Well today's your lucky day, you two. Time for you two to taste the sweet taste of frozen perfection." She then turned to Mr. Bauman. "What flavors do you have, Mr. Bauman?"

"Many," He replied. "We have Strawberry Kiwi, Mango, Orange, Banana and the list goes on."

Gwen smiled before saying, "Alright I'll take a Strawberry Kiwi smoothie." She then turned Ava and Sam before asking, "What do you guys want?"

Ava looked at the menu a bit before answering, "I'll take a Green smoothie."

"I'll take the Chocolate Banana smoothie," Sam answered with his order.

With that, Mr. Bauman began making the frozen confections for the three teens. After a few minutes, Mr. Bauman handed the teens their drinks. Once received, Gwen then paid Mr. Bauman the total amount before they dug into their drinks. Ava and Sam's eyes widened at the wonderful flavor of their smoothies.

"Whoa," Sam exclaimed. "This stuff is great!"

"It's like the flavor's flying through my taste buds," Ava said with a hum as she continued to drink the confection.

Gwen winked at her two friends before saying, "Told you guys."

Mr. Bauman then pulled out a pocket watch from his apron looking at the time before saying, "If you three will excuse me I have a store to tend to."

With that Mr. Bauman went to tend to his store. Gwen and the others began walking down the aisles while sipping their smoothies, enjoying their rich flavor. They were passing the pet supply aisle where Ava noticed Nancy looking at the cat supplies.

"Hey I'm going to where Nancy is," Ava spoke up. "Meet up with you guys at the entrance?"

"Go for it, girl." Gwen replied with a smile. With that answer Ava rushed up to Nancy looking at the supplies.

"So," Gwen said catching Sam's attention. "It's just me and you. Want to head to the electronics aisle?"

"Sure I—"Sam said before he paused looking down one aisle.

Gwen noticed his expression before looking in the direction of the aisle as well. There she saw a cardboard cutout stand which featured a certain brand of trading cards. It showed what appeared to be a sumo wrestler in a ready position with the words "Sumo Slammers" above it.

"No way," Sam said. "Sumo Slammer trading cards!" With that Sam rushed down the aisle towards the packs of trading cards.

Gwen blinked a bit as she watched her male friend rush to the cards.

(Huh… I have a feeling that if he and a certain cousin of mine met then they'd instantly be friends.)

Gwen then walked over to the electronics while sipping her smoothie. In the department there were various electronics ranging from televisions to consoles. One in particular caught Gwen's eye. She walked over and saw an advertisement for the new Nintendo Switch system to be released later this year.

(No way! I've been dying to save my money up for that console. I know for a fact the new Zelda game is going to be killer!)

As she stared at the rest of the console, she started feeling ground shake. Puzzled she turned to the televisions where each of them showed static on the screens. The shaking increased as one of the televisions fell off the shelf. Gwen began to back away from the entertainment devices just as the wall exploded out. Gwen jumped to the right as it happened and looked to see who caused the destruction which caused her eyes to widen.

There she saw Animo riding on his mutant frog, which made Gwen gape at the sight. She's seen some weird stuff as a hero and this was another thing added to the list. Animo dismounted the frog before walking up to one of the shelves, where she saw him grabbing electronics and stuffing them in a brown bag. She knew what this guy was up to, he was stealing stuff for whatever purpose.

"Hey!" Gwen spoke up catching Animo's attention. "What do you think you're doing?"

Just as she said that, Animo's toad shot out its tongue at Gwen. She gasped as she dodged the flicked tongue, which hit a stack of boxes behind her. She looked behind her to see the stack of boxes falling on top of her. She mildly screamed as the boxes piled on top of her. Once they were done collapsing, Gwen groaned as she made her way out of the heap. She then looked up to see Animo looking down at her.

"Don't be a hero, kid," He said grouchily. "Just run along and play."

"Freeze!" A voice called out catching both Animo and Gwen's attention. It was two individuals part of the store security rushing up to Animo, just as he remounted on his frog. "Get down off that giant… frog and put your hands up!"

Animo only grinned as his frog began to crouch. It then leaped over the two security personnel and Gwen before making another leap down the aisle. One of them grabbed a walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

"We got a grab and dash in electronics," He said. "Male, five foot six, riding on a giant… frog or toad. Trust me you can't miss him!"

Gwen took this as her chance to sneak away from seeing eyes. She found a vacant aisle and walked into it. She looked around to see if the coast was clear. Seeing that it was she immediately went to work.

"Alright," She muttered aloud to herself. "Time to see if this works."

She raised her right hand, which revealed her S.H.I.E.L.D. wrist communicator as it shifted out of camo mode. She pressed a button on the side of it and her body then began to shimmer. In a few seconds her clothing was replaced with her superhero attire. Looking down at herself, she gave a bright smile.

(Yes! I knew it would work! You guys are wondering how I was able to get into my superhero outfit so fast? I call this little feature the Hero Guise. Well, I worked with Doc Connors, Blukic and Driba on this little side project. It basically stores the costume in a personal pocket dimension, and whenever I press the button my clothing gets replaced with my outfit and vice versa. Plus to keep it fresh we also stored nanobots inside to clean it. Does wonders for the cleaning bill.)

"Now to stop that eccentric pet owner," She said before rushing towards where Animo was heading.

Back in the pet department, Ava and Nancy were looking through the cat supplies. Around them were also various animals ranging from birds, rodents and reptiles. Nancy held up two different bottles of supplement milk for kittens and showed them to Ava.

"Which brand is better?" Nancy asked. "PetAg KMR or Whiskas Cat Milk?"

Ava thought for a bit before pointing to the latter product. "I'd go with that brand. It's gotten more positive reviews."

Suddenly, a large impact sound was heard as the two girls looked and gasped at the sight. It was Animo riding on his frog facing the two teens. Animo turned his attention to the animals beside Ava and Nancy before turning the dial on his device. Red energy gathered in the antenna before firing at the animals. Ava quickly grabbed Nancy and pulled her away from the cages just as the red energy hit them.

In an instant, a hamster that was in one of the cages was hit by the energy. It immediately began mutating as its size increased. It was around the size of a small horse, now having eight crimson eyes. It also had two tusks on its lower jaw.

Animo wasn't done however as he then sent a blast of his mutation ray at a cockatiel in a cage. Once the beam hit it too began to mutate and grow. Thanks to its size increase, the cage burst open freeing the now mutated bird. Its beak was now sharper and it dwarfed Animo's frog by height. Bits of scales could be seen on the bird's legs and chest. The mutations were complete causing Animo to grin with satisfaction.

"Arise to your full potential, my pets!" Animo called out to his minions.

"Hey, Dr. Doolittle," A female voice called out catching Animo and the teen girl's attention. There they saw Gwen 10 standing in the aisle that Animo came from with a frown on her face. "I think it's time for your plan to be put down."

Nancy smiled at the sight of the heroine, "No way… Gwen 10!"

"Ah, Gwen 10," Animo said in a calm tone. "I wondered when you'd show up. It's an honor to finally make your acquaintance."

"Should I know you?" She asked with a raised brow.

"Allow me to introduce myself," Animo said. "I am Dr. Aloysius James Animo, the greatest mind in genetic research the world has ever known!"

"My you've got quite an inflated ego," Gwen 10 mocked. "More inflated than the toad your riding."

"Silence!" Dr. Animo shouted. "You will behold my genius, Gwen 10. Nothing will stop me from getting what I deserve. Once I'm through with my goal then you'll be next on my list. Mark my words."

"And what is your goal exactly?" She asked.

Animo grinned before answering, "To make history, or should I say pre-history."

"Pre-history?" Gwen 10 repeated in a questionable tone.

"Now my pet," Animo said to the hamster he mutated before pointing to Gwen 10. "Crush that little heroine!"

The mutant hamster shrieked and bellowed at the female hero before rushing towards her. Gwen 10 took evasive action as she made a run for it down the aisle. With the mutant fuzzball tailing her she wasn't going to stop Animo any time soon. As she ran, she activated the Omnitrix causing a holographic image of Spidermonkey to appear. Without hesitating, she chose the form causing the core to pop out before slamming her right hand down on it. In a flash of green light, Gwen 10 immediately shifted Spidermonkey.

"Spidermonkey!" she shouted as her transformation was complete.

She immediately stopped running before facing the mutant hamster, which was still rushing at her. Using her enhanced agility, Spidermonkey jumped above the hamster sticking to the ceiling like a spider would. This caused the hamster to crash into several shelves in the store. The mutant hamster shook its head before bellowing at the arachnid/monkey alien.

"Aw, what's the matter?" Spidermonkey said in a mocking tone. "Did a certain hamster not get their sunflower seeds this morning?"

The hamster growled before making a pounce at Spidermonkey. The arachnid simian immediately dodged the incoming hamster, which smashed into the roof. Spidermonkey landed on the ground as she watched the hamster fall to the ground after smashing headfirst into the ceiling. She cringed as the hamster fell to the floor onto more shelves. Taking this opportunity, she accessed her wrist communicator contacting Sam.

"Sam, are you there?" She said into her communicator.

A few seconds later, the image of Sam appeared before he said, "What is it? I'm kind of busy trying to find the gold Sumo Slammer card."

"Forget about the card," Spidermonkey retorted. "We have a situation in the store. Some nutty professor called Dr. Animo is causing havoc. He's stealing electronics and mutating the store pets."

"That's not good is it?" Sam asked.

"I know," She said. "Look, use your Hero Guise and try to find Ava and Nancy. Once you get them to safety try to cover Ava so she can use hers and you two get here as soon as possible."

"Are you sure those things work?" He asked with an uncertain tone.

She rolled her eyes before answering, "I just did a little field test with mine, so yes they work."

"Alright," He said. "See you in a few minutes." With that the communication ended.

Just as it did, Spidermonkey sensed danger and looked behind her with wide eyes. She saw the mutant hamster making a leap at her in hopes to pin her. She dodged out of the way before aiming her tail at the hamster. From the tip she fired a strand of webbing at the mutant rodent which attached to its back. That would however prove to be a mistake on her part.

The hamster immediately began making a run for it, causing Spidermonkey to be dragged behind it. The arachnid/monkey alien was screaming at the top of her head as she was being dragged across the store by the mutant hamster.

"Whoa, Hamtaro!" She shouted as she was being drug behind it. "Heel, heel!"

Suddenly a white blur slammed into the hamster, causing it to fall to its side. The momentum from the dragging before caused Spidermonkey to be flung over the rodent, causing her to scream as she crashed into a store shelf. She groaned as she looked up to see White Tiger standing in front of her holding out a hand to her.

"Nova said you needed help," White Tiger said.

Spidermonkey immediately took her hand as she was pulled up to stand before saying, "Do I ever. Where is he anyways?"

"Crowd control," White Tiger replied. "Don't worry about Nancy, she was moved to a safe location."

Spidermonkey sighed in relief then tensed with wide eyes before saying, "Heads up!"

This caused White Tiger to turn to see the mutant hamster bellow at the two as it charged at them. Both heroines jumped out of the way as it charged through. Without hesitation, Spidermonkey fired multiple strands of webbing from her tail ahead of the mutant rodent. From it the webbing formed a large spider web which the hamster unfortunately ran into.

The net of webbing covered the mutant hamster as it struggled to get it off its body. Spidermonkey wasted no time as she jumped towards the entangled hamster before firing webbing at it. This caused the mutant animal to be bound even more as it could barely struggle.

Spidermonkey landed on the ground giving a smile to White Tiger before saying, "Well, I believe this situation is all 'wrapped' up." The arachnid-like simian gave a laughing monkey chitter at her pun.

White Tiger groaned as she face palmed before saying, "You spend too much time with Spidey."

Suddenly the ground shook as they then looked behind them. There they saw Dr. Animo on his frog hop in. The look on his face was a scowl.

"Young fools," Dr. Animo exclaimed. "You cannot stop me. I will turn New York City into New York B.C.-ity!"

As he finished talking, the mutant cockatiel swooped in. Animo then jumped onto its back as it then took off into the air. The mutant bird crashed through the skylight before making its escape along with Dr. Animo. Animo's mutant frog followed suit before disappearing completely.

"He's getting away," White Tiger exclaimed.

"We need to go after him," Spidermonkey said before slamming the dial on her chest and turning back into Gwen 10.

With that the two heroines made their way out of the store. They met up with Nova on the way before the two girls mounted White Tiger's bike and zoomed after Dr. Animo and his mutant pets.

Night fell as the mutant cockatiel carrying Dr. Animo flew over the streets of New York. Not too far behind, Gwen 10, White Tiger and Nova were tailing the mad scientist. They were determined to stop him for whatever scheme he had.

"So what's the plan?" Nova spoke up. "Cause chasing a giant bird all over New York is starting to get boring."

"We need to figure out what this Animo is planning," Gwen 10 said. "Keep the bike steady while I use the communicator." She lifted up her right wrist and activated her S.H.I.E.L.D. communicator. "Come in, Dr. Connors. This is Gwen 10, over."

The communicator's image on the screen had Dr. Connor's face pop up before he said, "Ah Gwen 10, what can I do you for?"

"I need help with some info," She replied. "What do you know of a Dr. Aloysius James Animo?"

Connors hummed before replying, "Now there's a name I never heard in a while. Five years ago, he was a promising researcher in veterinary science back at the university I use to attend. He was a genius in his own right and was a nominee for the Verities Award."

"I take it he didn't get the award, right?" Gwen 10 asked.

"Indeed," Connors said with a nod. "He was denied the award after the judges found out about his illegal genetic experiments on mutating animals. He wasn't exactly pleased during that time."

"So who was given the award?" Gwen asked.

"A Dr. Kelly I believe." Connors replied.

Gwen 10 nodded before saying, "Alright, thanks for the help Dr. Connors."

"My pleasure," He replied before ending the communication.

(Okay, let's recap. We have a scorned mad scientist known as Dr. Animo wanting revenge for not gaining the reward he wanted. He mutates animals for his own gain as well for his arsenal. The thing about what he said still puzzles me. New York B.C.-ity? That makes little sense.)

"Uh guys," Nova spoke up. "I think Polly just flown the coop."

This cause both Gwen 10 and White Tiger to look up to what Nova said. The cockatiel carrying Dr. Animo had indeed gave them the slip. How could a bird the size of an elephant get the best of them?

"Well that's just great," White Tiger muttered negatively. "They could be going anywhere in New York City."

"Or New York B.C.-ity," Nova added.

That's when a light bulb in Gwen's head lit up to what Nova said before saying, "That's it! Oh, stupid me!"

This cause both White Tiger and Nova to turn their attention to her before both asking, "What?"

"I know where he's going," Gwen explained before pointing ahead. "Tiger, take a left up here."

"Why?" White Tiger said as she made the turn as her friend said. "Where's he going?"

"The one place anyone can go to see anything 'B.C.' related," Gwen 10 said. "The New York American Museum of Natural History."


A few minutes later, they had arrived at their destination. The American Museum of Natural History was one of the largest museums in the world, containing vast exhibits of ancient history and mythology. It would make sense that Dr. Animo had an interest in this location for his plan.

Gwen 10, White Tiger and Nova made their way to the entrance of the museum. They stopped when they saw a gaping hole in the museum's wall. Gwen then noticed something on the ground before picking it up. It turned out to be a large feather. Dr. Animo was definitely here.

"Okay, guys," Gwen spoke catching her friend's attention. "We have no idea what to expect from him so stay alert."

They both nodded as they proceeded inside. They looked around as they passed by several exhibits the museum had to offer. Various fossilized skeletons of dinosaurs and primitive humans were seen. Keeping herself from geeking out Gwen continued forward until she noticed something one of the exhibits.

She grabbed it and looked at it closely. It was a small box which was titled, "M Mart Electronics". Gwen had a feeling they were on the right trail when she heard a sound. It sounded like someone was tinkering with something. She looked up and sure enough she saw Animo tinkering with his device near the woolly mammoth exhibit. The man then looked up knowing the three teenage heroes were behind him.

"You three are very persistent," He spoke before turning around to face them. "I hate persistent."

"We all know about you and your messed up experiments, Dr. Animo," Gwen 10 said. "It's over."

"Oh, but its only just begun," Animo said. "See, I only needed a few components to push my work into Phase Two, the reanimation of dormant cells."

"Uh, does this guy come with subtitles?" Nova asked aloud.

"I get it," Gwen 10 said. "Your machine cannot only mutate animals but also revive ones that have been extinct."

"Not only persistent but also intelligent," Dr. Animo spoke up. "Pity I have to make sure you don't interfere with my plans. Now watch as I breed life back into that which has been long since lifeless. Observe!"

Animo turned the dial on his creation, which began humming to life. Red energy then shot from the antenna of his device into the woolly mammoth. Gwen and the others watched as the light of the mammoth's eyes before it began shaking. It then took its first step after millions of years being dead before stepping off of its exhibit. It gave a mighty trumpet as it stared down the three teen heroes.

"Behold the genius that is Dr. Animo!" He said praising himself before making a run for it into another room.

"Uh, nice woolly mammoth," Nova said trying to soothe the beast as he and the others back away from it.

"Any bright ideas?" White Tiger asked.

Gwen 10 activated the Omnitrix before saying, "You two go after Animo. I'll take care of Jumbo."

She then selected the alien she wanted before slamming her hand down on the core. In a flash of green light, Gwen 10 transformed into Four Arms.

"Four Arms!" She shouted before facing the mammoth. "Alright, Dumbo, let's rumble!"

Without wasting time, Four Arms charged at the revived mammoth before grabbing it by the tusks. She then used her enhanced strength to make the mammoth to fall to its side, causing it to trumpet out in pain. This gave White Tiger and Nova a chance to run after where Animo escaped to.

Just as they entered the hall, they were met by the mutant cockatiel, who screeched at them with wings flared. Without hesitating, White Tiger then grabbed a spear from an exhibit next to her and twirled it around like a professional martial artist. She then swung it at the mutant bird, which caught it right upside its head. She gave another swing, causing the spear to break but made the bird flee away from the two.

With no obstacles in the way, White Tiger and Nova proceeded to the next room. As they entered, they saw Dr. Animo near a Tyrannosaurus skeleton. He had his modulator primed and ready, before looking at the two heroes with a smirk. He then aimed at the skeleton as red energy fired at it.

Before their eyes, the skeleton was transforming. Musculature and flesh formed around the skeleton. However, a few places on the body had exposed muscle and bone making the revived Rex look similar to a zombie. Its crimson eyes looked at White Tiger and Nova as it stepped off its exhibit and gave a mighty roar.

Back in the other room, Four Arms was thrown towards the wall. She hit it leaving behind a spider web-like indent in the wall before falling to her knees on the floor. She groaned as she shook her head and looked up at her enemy.

The mammoth trumpeted and bellowed as it made a mad dash towards her. Getting up quickly, the four-armed female alien then rushed at the ancient elephant before giving it a right hook. She then grabbed onto one of its tusks before she was flung from the resurrected pachyderm. She ended up landing onto one of the fossilized skeletons, causing it and its stand to shatter from her landing. She gave a minor grunt as she stood up from the minor debris as she glared at the mammoth.

"Alright," She growled a bit. "Time to make you extinct, Peanuts."

The mammoth made for another charge at her, this time she was prepared. Going in at the right moment, Four Arms grabbed the mammoth by its trunk. Using all of her strength, she began spinning the furry elephant around. The twirling went faster and faster until she finally let go of the mammoth. The pachyderm bellowed as it hit the opposite end of the wall before collapsing to the ground, never rising up again.

She patted her hands clean before saying, "Well that's one more for the extinction list." She then heard a loud roar coming from the room White Tiger and Nova ran off to, causing her to go wide-eyed. "That didn't sound good."

Without wasting time, Four Arms made her way into the other room. Just as she entered, a large green tail was heading right for her. She ducked as it smashed on part of the entryway. She looked and saw Dr. Animo riding on what appeared to be a zombified t-rex.

(Okay…first a mammoth now a Zombie-Rex? Did this guy want to make a crossover between Resident Evil and Jurassic Park a reality or something?)

"I'd love to stay and finish you, Gwen 10," Dr. Animo said. "But I need to claim the award I so wretchedly deserve!"

With that said the Z-Rex (Zombie Rex) then sounded a mighty roar as it then smashed through the museum's wall. Four Arms, White Tiger and Nova watched as Animo and his zombified minion made their escape into the city, knowing to cause mayhem on the streets. Following close behind, the mutant cockatiel flew past the heroes as it took to the air with a screech.

"He's getting away," Nova said getting ready to fly after them.

"Hold it, Nova," Four Arms said as she turned back into Gwen 10 in a flash of green light. "I think I have an idea where he's going." She then held up a newspaper clipping before saying, "I found this on the ground after the mad doctor made his getaway."

White Tiger and Nova got closer to see what the clipping showed. It had a picture of a man holding a trophy which appeared as a gold beaker. In the photo, Dr. Animo could also be seen in the background. The title of the headline said, "Dr. Kelly Accepts Verities Award".

"Looks like the doctor is going for his reward," White Tiger said.

"Then what are we standing around for?" Nova exclaimed. "Let's go bag this guy!"

In agreement, all three heroes made their way out of the museum. White Tiger started up her cycle as Gwen jumped on. With that they took off onto the streets, following the trail of destruction left in Animo's wake.

In another part of the city, Dr. Animo and his minions were making their way to Kelly Industries, the very work building of Dr. Kelly himself. Various civilians ran for their lives as the Z-Rex made its way through the city, smashing through objects like cars and other things. Dr. Animo smiled as his goal was close at hand.

"Ah," He said with a sigh. "I do love my work."

He then heard a sound of an approaching vehicle. He looked behind to see a motorcycle along with a glowing blue blur in the air was heading right for him. He realized it was Gwen 10 and her companions coming to ruin his plans. With a scowl he then turned to the cockatiel he mutated into his loyal servant.

"My pet," He commanded catching the bird's attention as he pointed into Gwen 10's direction. "Dispose of them, immediately!" The cockatiel gave a mighty cry as it flew towards the incoming heroes.

"There's Dr. Animo," White Tiger exclaimed.

"That's not the only thing," Nova called out as he pointed ahead of them. "His bird is heading right for us."

White Tiger then looked at Gwen before saying, "Gwen, go after Animo. We'll take care of cracker breath."

Gwen nodded before saying, "You two be careful."

She then activated the Omnitrix before slamming down on the dial and in a flash of green light, Gwen 10 transformed into XLR8.

"XLR8!" She shouted before jumping off Tiger's cycle and sped off passed the mutant cockatiel.

The cockatiel tried going after speedy raptor-like alien but was stopped by a burst of blue energy to his face. It looked and saw both Nova and White Tiger, both posed and ready for battle.

"Sorry," White Tiger said in a mock apology. "Don't you know three's a crowd?" The mutant bird then gave a squawk at the two heroes before flying at them with talons raised.


Further away, a large six story building could be seen. This was Kelly Industries, the workplace of Dr. Kelly himself. Inside, a man with grey hair and blue eyes was giving a tour at the moment. He wore a cyan-grey suit and pants and also wore a light grey shirt and dark grey tie. He also wore black shoes and a black belt. This was Dr. Kelly, head of the facility.

"And here is my Verities Award," He said as he gave the tour. "Of course it was an honor just to be nominated with a distinguished group of scientists."

Suddenly the ground began shaking, causing Dr. Kelly and the other people to panic a bit. They then looked behind them to see an enlarging silhouette speeding towards them. It then crashed through the large window before they heard a massive roar. They saw it was the Z-Rex, and riding it was Dr. Animo who was glaring in Kelly's direction.

"Kelly," Dr. Animo said. "I believe you have something of mine!"

As Dr. Animo got down, the people from the tour made a break for it, leaving Dr. Kelly with Dr. Animo and the Z-Rex. Kelly watched as Dr. Animo made his way to the shelf of his achievements before grabbing the Verities Award. He could see the mad scientist have a grin on his face as he held the award.

"I'd like to thank the committee for this honor," Dr. Animo announced with praise. "And to extend this honor, I like also to give Dr. Kelly his recognition." He then grinned before continuing, "As a recognized meal for my pet!"

Dr. Animo snapped his fingers, which made the Z-Rex focus its attention on Dr. Kelly. The veterinarian backed away as the zombified dinosaur inched closer giving a mighty roar. Before the beast could bring its jaws down on the man, a blurred object sped towards the rex striking a major blow to the once Tyrant King. It then stopped to reveal XLR8 giving a smirk at Dr. Animo, who was seething with anger.

"You!" The doctor practically shouted.

"Yes, me," She said with a mocking tone. Her visor then went down before speeding towards the doctor. Unfortunately, she was stopped by a tail swipe from the Z-Rex, which hit her in the stomach. This caused her to slammed against the opposite end wall of the building and she groaned a bit. "Okay… that didn't go as planned."

"Somebody help me!" Dr. Kelly's voice called out catching her attention. XLR8 looked to see the veterinarian hanging from the zombified dino's jaws by his suit.

"Not on my watch, pal," She exclaim before slamming her hand down on the dial on her chest. In a flash of green light, XLR8 was replaced by Spidermonkey.

"Spidermonkey!" She shouted before making a run towards the dinosaur.

The Z-Rex then threw Dr. Kelly above its head before opening its jaws in hopes of devouring him. Spidermonkey quick shot out a strand of webbing from her tail, which attached itself to Dr. Kelly's back, before grabbing the strand and gave a major tug. This caused Kelly to be pulled away from the jaws just as they chomped down. Kelly then landed in Spidermonkey's open arms, who gave a slight grin at the veterinarian.

"You brat!" Dr. Animo shouted at her in anger. "You're just as annoying as that spider-themed boyfriend of yours!"

(Wait… did Animo say that Spider-Man was my boyfriend!?)

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," She said as she placed Dr. Kelly down, which resulted him making a run for it. "First of all, Spider-Man is not my boyfriend. Secondly, we're just teammates."

"I don't care if he's your cousin!" Dr. Animo shouted again. "You've interfered with my plans for the last time. My pet, make a meal out of that monkey!"

The Z-Rex gave out a mighty roar as it charged at the arachnid-like simian. Spidermonkey then began firing shots of webbing at the rex in hopes of slowing it down. While part of the webbing created a muzzle around the dino's mouth, that didn't stop it from using its skull as a weapon which it smacked Spidermonkey into a wall. She groaned as she held her head.

"Face it," Dr. Animo said with a grin. "You may have similar abilities as Spider-Man, but when facing against me you don't stand a chance!"

"In my current form no," She said before looking up with a grin. "But when going Ultimate, then yes!"

She then turned the dial on her chest causing the core to pop out before slamming it down. This caused four spiked to pop out of the dial rim before her body was then covered in a wave of green light. Just as the wave encompassed her, her body went through a dramatic change. Her body became more gorilla-like with black fur and purple skin. The mouth was filled with sharp, pointed teeth and having six green eyes. Unlike the previous form, this one didn't have a second set of arms. Instead, this form had two pairs of spider legs sprouting from her waist which could also retract back into it.

She pounded on her chest as she roared out, "Ultimate Spidermonkey!"

Animo's eyes widened at the sight of her new Ultimate form. He didn't anticipate this as a bit of fear gripped him.

Without hesitation, U. Spidermonkey made her way to the Z-Rex. The Z-Rex roared at her before trying to chomp onto her. U. Spidermonkey then grappled the dinosaur by its jaws, to prevent it from chomping down on her. Using her increased strength, she slammed the rex down onto its side. This caused Dr. Animo to lose balance a bit, as well as lose his grip on the award he was holding.

"No!" He exclaimed as he tried grabbing the award with little success. He watched as the award fell to the ground before shattering to pieces. "My award!"

"Sorry, doc," U. Spidermonkey said. "Looks like that's one award you won't be given any time soon."

"You!" He shouted in anger. "You've ruined everything!"

The antenna of his device began to hum with life and energy. This made U. Spidermonkey's eyes widen before jumping away as Dr. Animo fired at her. The beam of crimson followed after the hyper-evolved alien wherever she went. With quick thinking, her lower jaws split in half as a dense blast of webbing shot out of her throat. The webbing wrapped around the Z-Rex's legs causing the zombified dino to lose its balance, and let out a panicked roar. This also caused Dr. Animo to lose his balance as well, and for the beam to stop entirely.

U. Spidermonkey then took this opportunity to jump at Animo. She then gripped onto the Transmodulator before prying it off of Animo's head. This caused Animo's eyes to widen as she held the device in her hands.

"My Transmodulator!" He practically shouted.

U. Spidermonkey then used her strength to crush Animo's device into scrap metal, in doing so sent out a wide-range energy pulse. The pulse hit the Z-Rex, causing its flesh and musculature to degrade once more back into a skeleton. Animo's eyes widened as the skeleton he was straddling began to shake before falling apart completely. U. Spidermonkey looked as saw Dr. Animo pinned under the pile of fossils. He wasn't going anywhere any time soon. She then slammed the dial on her chest, first transforming back to Spidermonkey before shifting back to Gwen 10.

She then walked up to Dr. Animo, who was struggling to get out from under the pile of bones. She crossed her arms before saying, "Looks like your plans have gone extinct, doc. Now be a good little doctor as police-"

Before she could finish that sentence, something crashed through the ceiling of the building. She looked up and saw what appeared to be a robot of sorts. It main body was octopus-like in shape and it had four metallic tentacle arms attached to it. The base was colored green and had glowing neon green lights coming from it. It landed in front of Gwen 10 before sending a tentacle at her.

Gwen quickly made a jump dodge to the side as it passed her. As she landed, she looked and saw the robot focus on Dr. Animo. It used its arms to pull the bones off him before wrapping one arm around his waist before taking off.

She then tried to activate her Omnitrix, unfortunately she was given a powered down beep. She looked and saw the inner part of the hourglass was red, indicating it was in Recharge Mode. She sighed in frustration as she watched the bot disappear with Dr. Animo.

(I don't know what happened just now. But I do know someone has plans for Animo…meaning I might see him again in the future.)


Back at the laboratory of Dr. Otto Octavius and Animo, the Octobot dropped the renowned geneticist onto the floor in a heap. Dr. Animo grunted as he looked up to see a sight. There standing above him was Dr. Octavius, with a scowl on his face causing Animo to cringe. He was in trouble now.

"Dr. Octavius," Animo spoke in a frightened voice. "I can explain."

"Explain what, Dr. Animo?" Dr. Octavius replied with a question. "Explain that you went on a rampage for petty revenge which not only caused attention to be drawn to you by not just Gwen 10 but S.H.I.E.L.D. itself!?"

"Please forgive me," Animo begged. "I won't do this again, I swear!"

"That's not for me to decide, Animo," Octavius replied before turning to the lab's monitor screen. "That's more of Mr. Osborn's department."

The monitor's image came to life to reveal Norman Osborn image before saying, "Dr. Animo, care to explain why you've made the news today?"

"Mr. Osborn," Animo sputtered out. "I can explain…"

"No need," Norman said. "I saw the fundamentals of your work and I must say I'm actually intrigued." This caused both Octavius and Animo's eyes to widen in shock.

"Are you serious?" Animo asked with confusion in his voice.

"Indeed," Norman replied. "If the power of your genius can do this with regular animals then I believe a certain project should have my approval."

This made Animo's face grow into a smile before saying, "Oh thank you, Mr. Osborn! You won't regret this decision!"

"See to it that I don't," Norman said before the image on the monitor flicked off ending the call.

"This is fantastic," Animo shouted in joy. "Now the project can go as—"

He was cut off as metallic armed tentacle wrapped around him. It pulled him close to the face of Dr. Otto Octavius, who had a hardened look on his face. Animo was instantly quite from the look as he shook with fear.

"Listen well, Animo," Octavius said. "Osborn may have approved of the project but know this, if you dare do something that brings attention ourselves again then I will personally make you one of the test subjects. Are we clear?"

Animo hastily nodded before saying, "We're clear, we're clear! We are so clear!"

"Good," Octavius said before dropping Animo before making his way to the lab table. "Shall we find test subject to begin with the experiments?"

Animo grinned as he got up and followed before saying, "We shall."


There we go! Hopefully you all love that chapter. Again I'm sorry it took so long to post this. Anyways keep an eye out for any grammatical errors and such and see you all next chapter, true believers!
