Happy New Year everyone, and this will be my first update for any of my stories in 2017. I know I'm late to the party again, but more on that at the end of the chapter. Enjoy.
Amity Park
Axion Labs
Inside the Amity Park Plumber base, Heidi was unconsciously lying on some sort of operating table while she was inside a large machine that was scanning her entire body. Ceasar looked to be operating the machine while Randy, Valarie, Rex and Maddie were watching this happen.
"Well, have you figured out what's wrong with her?" Valarie asked.
"I haven't seen any Nanites like these before, these must be the Nanites that Black Knight was talking about, but there also looks to be a control Nanite in there though I have no idea what it does." The Nanite in question was a large green Nanite that had see-through cylinders on it rather than the normal silver coloured ones, these were turning regular deactivated Nanites green and the control nanite released a green pulse that were transforming all of the Nanites around it green. Once this happened, Heidi's skin was being covered in green mechanical geometric patterns and her body released a green electric pulse that shut down most of the machinery in the room.
They even caused Rex's Nanites to temporarily shut down for about a second. "Uh, brother. What just happened?"
"Fascinating, her Nanites have the ability to shut down technology and other Nanites around them." Ceasar said. He looked at his still functioning device that allowed him to monitor the nanites within her body. "It would seem that Heidi's Nanites have shut down, which means the Delta Nanite can only activate Nanites for a limited amount of time before they shut down again." This was proven as the geometrical glows on Heidi had faded.
"So, what are we going to do with her?" Randy asked.
Maddie was thinking "Letting her out without any knowledge of her Nanites could cause damage to others and herself. We can't let her leave without telling her about the Nanites inside her. We have to keep her here."
"Wait, are you seriously saying you want her to stay and learn how to use these Nanites?" Valarie asked in surprise.
"She will have to." Ceasar said. "Only Black Knight would have the means to permanently deactivate the Delta control nanite and we have no idea where she is right now."
Randy's phone started ringing, when he looked at the display, he saw that Howard was calling him. "Sorry, I gotta take this." Randy quickly answered. "Uh Howard, sorry but I'm kind of busy right now."
"Dude you missed an epic fight that happened in the city, it was between two robot-like guys. It was like something out of a movie!" Howard excitedly exclaimed. There was a strong chance he was talking about the fight with between Rex and Alpha.
"Yeah, I saw that too. It was pretty bruce man."
"By the way, you hadn't happened to see my sister around have you? She hasn't come home yet."
"Uh… nope I haven't heard from her. Maybe she's staying at Theresa's or something?"
"Without telling anyone, that seems suspicious Cunningham."
"Maybe she just had overnight plans, I wouldn't worry."
Howard laughed on the other end. "You think I'm worried? It's my folks that are worried, anyway talk to ya later Cunningham." Howard hung up and Randy sighed.
He walked to the others. "We got a bit of a problem, my best friend is getting suspicious because Heidi didn't show up to her home. Maybe I gotta tell Howard about this whole Plumber thing."
Maddie though didn't share the same opinion. "Absolutely not, the less people that knows about us the better."
"But Howard is my best friend." He argued.
"Yes, but there is a big difference, he hasn't received Plumber training which means he's not equipped to handle anything that we normally deal with. We don't need civilians getting hurt. So you are not to tell your Plumber or Ninja status to anyone outside this base, are we clear!?" Randy sighed as he knew he couldn't win this argument.
"Yes, clear." Randy stepped out of the lab. While he was in the hall he took out his phone and he sped dialed Stacy's number. It rang for a few seconds before the call was answered on the other end of the line.
"Hello, Randy?"
"Yeah, Stacy it's me. How are things in Danwood?"
"Pretty calm for the moment, but we are still on high alert. Ready to strike when the Rooters come back. So what's up with you, I heard there was a big fight in Norrisville are you alright?"
"Yeah, for the most part but some things happened. And there is something I need to tell Howard but…"
"Let me guess, you can't because of Plumber secrecy?"
"Yeah, how did you guess?"
"Same thing is happening with me and Candace and I feel we're starting to drift apart. I have to say something to her."
"Well good luck with that, Fenton made it very clear that she doesn't want me telling Howard. What should we do?"
"Sorry, I really don't know right now. Oh, sorry Magister Tennysone needs me for something. Talk to you later, Randy."
"Yeah, later." Stacy hung up and Randy was leaning in the hall and gave a big sigh. Lila saw Randy sighing.
"What's up with him?"

Episode 7: The Enemy of My Enemy
Orchid Bay
Orchid Bay Mall
Two days later after Ben had arrived in Orchid Bay City he was hanging out with June, Ophelia, Jody and Roger. The gang walked around and Jody had a shopping bag with three pairs of shoes.
"Jody, did you blow your monthly allowance on those shoes?" Ophelia asked.
"No… though I don't have enough to do anything right now…" Jody nervously said.
"Then you did blow it." Ben noted.
"Hey, I don't wanna hear it from you. You and June were late."
"We were only late because… uh, I lost my house keys?" June said.
"Wait, is that a question?" Roger asked with some suspicion.
"Hey, we're here now. Why ask questions?" Ben said. "I mean it's not like we had to deal with a monster or anything…" Ben nervously chuckled and June glared at him.
"Funny you mention that." Jody said with a suspicious tone.
Before their conversation could move forward, the six heard an explosion close by. "Oh now what!?" June cried with an annoyed tone.
They see people scattering and large boulders were being levitated in the air. They were tossed across the large hall. Terra and Red X stood out and were glaring at both June and Ben.
"Are those dudes looking at us?" Roger asked.
Dash Baxter in his Tetramand form had Cheshire on his shoulder and he threw her up and she landed gracefully on her feet. Dash roared and flexed his four muscles. Blackfire flew above the group and her hands were surrounded by bright purple circles of energy. She started firing those energy bolts around the mall, narrowly missing the panicked people.
"BEN TENNYSON!" the Tamaranian exclaimed. "Face us right now!" she said.
Ben, June, Ophelia, Jody and Roger were hiding under an outdoor restaurant dining table. "Hey, why is the crazy chick after you?" Ophelia asked looking at Ben. "You cheating on June or something?"
"WHAT!?" Ben and June shockingly exclaimed.
"Please it's obvious at this point." Ophelia said.
"What is?" Jody and Roger said in unison.
"Never mind?" Ophelia said with a sigh. "So Ben, you want to tell us what's going on?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen her before."
Red X had his X wristblades unsheathed. "If you don't come out, then we will kill everyone here. All the doors have been locked and there is no way out right now!"
Ben sighed. "They aren't giving me a choice... I'm going to see what they want." He got up from under the table and he was about to face the villains but he felt a strong grip on his left arm.
June had her hand gripping Ben's wrist "Ben, you know you can't face them alone. Rather… I won't let you face them alone." She looked to Jody, Ophelia and Roger. "You guys better hide, we'll take care of this."
"No way!" Ophelia argued. "We can't just let the two of you go out there. There has to be a better option."
"Let them do it." Jody said surprising everyone.
"Have you lost it!?"
"I trust them; let's just do what they say for now." Ben and June worriedly glanced at each other. "Quick, follow me you guys!" then Ophelia and Roger got up and stood behind Jody.
"Fine, but I'll want an explanation after this!" Ophelia said glaring at the Ben and June.
"W-we'll tell you, just make sure to stay safe." The three nodded and they ran off to find a place to hide.
Ben looked at June. "You ready June?"
June cracked her knuckles. "Who do you think you are talking do? Of course I'm ready!"
Both June and Ben had shown themselves to the five attackers.
"Alright, I'm here! What do you want!?" Ben angrily asked.
"Why are we here?" Blackfire mockingly asked. "We're with the Rooters and we're here to destroy you! Tennyson!" Blackfire who was levitating above the ground made pink energy circles surround her hands. "And we're not leaving empty handed."
Unknown Location
Elsewhere on an isolated tropical island, a shadow is sneaking around and the shadow rises before it reveals itself to be Raven. She hid behind a palm tree and sees a mechanical facility on the island she sees what looked like guard sentries that were identical to the same beasts that she fought while at Beach City. Since she saw many of them, she figured that she was in the right place. She sees several of those dimensional beasts sprouting wings before flying off with their mechanical bug-like wings. Raven hears voices close by and she gets closer to those voices.
She manages to get inside the open hangar building and hid in the shadows while she was listening to them.
"All you have to do is travel to this location and find Maltruant's last key. This time the key is on a planet called Remnant." Saying this was a figure that looked old and had a dark jacket with dark purple and gray armor underneath. He wore a helmet with a purple visor over his eyes.
"Eon, you're the one who can travel through time and space!" a feminine figure wearing pink and purple with white hair with purple tips. "Please tell us why we should travel to different locations with this thing that those idiot scientists made when you can get them yourself?" She said referring to the Time Disrputor-Inator that Subdora and Exo-Skull stole.
"This is so we can revive Maltruant without Paradox, or Clockwork getting involved. Plus there is another powerful entity we don't want to draw the attention of."
Charmcaster glared at the time traveler. While Van Kleiss was had a smirk. "This is the last piece, right?"
"Correct, so don't mess it up." Eon said. "Once we have all the pieces, Maltruant will be able to be revived." In the room with Eon were Charmcaster, Exo-Skull, Van Kleiss, Madame Rouge, Kai Yee and a black gorilla with a gray chest with a gold sash going across it. "Madame Rouge, Kai Yee, Charmcaster and Monsieur Mallah." He said and he looked to the gorilla when he said the fourth name. "The four of you will head to Remnant and retrieve that piece and come back here as quickly as possible. We need to revive Maltruant quickly.
Eon activated the inator, a blue swirling pillar appeared, and the four villains walked into the pillar before disappearing.
Once they disappeared Eon chuckled. "You think you can hide in the shadows, Raven?"
The girl gasped and Van Kleiss gauntlet extended to punch Raven but she ducked under it. Right after this Exo-Skull activated his jet booster and was speeding towards Raven.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" she formed a flexible hammer that slammed Exo-Skull into a nearby wall. After that she saw Van Kleiss shooting his gauntlet to her again but she broke sections of the floor and flung them to Van Kleiss who was punching them away. Eon made a purple blade with his gauntlet and he charged to Raven. The titan ducked under the blade and she levitated up into the air and she flung dark orbs of energy to Eon which rained on him. She avoided yet another punch from Van Kleiss. She made a couple of metal sheets fly off the wall and she brought them together and they were covered in a black energy. She brought the many sheets together and she flung them to Van Kleiss and this made a huge impact which sent him to the ground.
It was just Eon and Raven. "What's going on here?" Raven calmly asked.
"Haha, you really think I'd tell you. Lets see how confident you are when you are reduced to dust!" he blasted a purple energy beam from his right hand and Raven made a black energy sphere which kept the time ray from hitting her.
"Nice try, but you can't age darkness." Raven shoots two bolts at Eon and he is sent flying to entrance of the large hangar. "I'll ask you again, what are you planning?" Eon didn't respond and instead he smirked and Raven sensed something was off, suddenly she was punched by Van Kleiss's fist.
"Oh, I wonder what you will turn into once I turn you into an EVO." His palm was speeding to her but before he could follow through on his threat, a powerful blast of air pushed into his back sending him rolling on the ground. He slowly started to rise up but a pillar of Earth shot through the ground, crashing into his stomach, sending him into the roof."
Raven stood up and started to wonder what was going on. "What in the?" a hand was stretched out to her.
"Need a hand?" this was Aang and before anything else could happen, a purple blast had narrowly missed the two of them. "You're Raven, right?"
"How do you know about me?" she asked with a stern tone.
"I met your friends in Jump City, I was told to keep an eye out for you. Though, I didn't expect to find you here."
"So why are you here?"
"A girl told me to come here on this date." He revealed.
"Funny, a girl told that to me as well. The fact that both of us are here can't be a coincidence but lets talk about that later, we need to deal with this guy!"
They saw that a portal opened and Eon was about to walk into it. "You're out of luck; we planned to move bases anyway. So coming here was useless. I must warn the two of you, getting involved in our plans will result in your deaths, so you would be smart not to try and get in our way." Eon disappeared behind the portal and just like that, he was gone.
"What was that about?" Aang asked.
"I wish I knew, anyway. We need to start looking around this place?" Raven started to look around the interior of the hangar.
"What are you trying to find?"
"Believe me; I'll know when I find it. Have you ever heard of Trigon?"
"Trigon? No."
"Well you better listen, because that's why I'm here."
Orchid Bay
Orchid Bay Mall
"So you're with the Rooters!"
"That's right Tennyson." Blackfire said. "And we're under strict instructions to eliminate you." She charged a circular energy that surrounded her right hand. She fired a blackbolt beam that both June and Ben avoided. They split off and Cheshire sped off to June with her arms hidden in the sleeves of her outfit. June ducked under Cheshire's swipes as her blades were sticking out of the kimono sleeves. What June didn't expect was that she would be whipped by her two long ponytails. This made her stagger back but she quickly jumped up and was on the second floor of the mall and Red X teleported in front of her.
"You're not getting away that easily." He taunted from behind her, he quickly shot his palms forward and X shaped orange energy bolts were speeding to June. She jumped over the blast but it destroyed the platform she was standing on and she was on the other side of the hole. Red X jumped over the hole but as soon as he landed on the other side he saw June speeding to him and he blocked her punch by grabbing her arm but he knew that June's strength surpassed his and he made an X explosive where her hand was and this shot her far away from him.
Red X looked to his side and saw Cheshire speeding up the escalator. He also ran to where June was and they both stood within attacking distance from her. She stretched her arm up into the air, an orange flash appeared, and a wooden Wushu Staff appeared. She let one of her knees fall to the floor and got in a battle stance with her staff.
Red X flung five X shurikens to her but June spun and deflected them away. This made Cheshire speed towards her and she launched off her feet to slash past June with her claws but June launched up into the air. And when Cheshire missed she followed her up into the air. Red X generated his X-Wristblades. "This is going to be fun." June landed a fair distance from him and was blocking Cheshire's blade swipes with her staff.
Meanwhile by the entrance of the mall, Dash started to charge to Ben. In response, Ben quickly chose an alien and slammed the omnitrix core, covering him in a tremendous green flash. Dash was suddenly punched back to the doors of the mall by the force. Ben transformed into Bloxx and he glared at Terra and Blackfire.
"So what's the Rooters goal in all of this? First chasing after Kevin and Malevolence, now you want to kill me. What's going on!?" Ben asked.
"It's none of your business!" Terra exclaimed.
"As if we'd tell you, now let's make this quick!" Blackfire's hands were covered in a bright purple energy, she shot numerous Blackbolts to Ben, and he was sprinting away from them on all fours. One hit him right in his stomach and made a hole, but it quickly reformed.
"You're going to have to try harder than that!" Ben taunted. He picked up an outdoor table and threw it to the three which was instantly vaporized by three of Blackfires blackbolts.
"Mock me will you?" Blackfire flew to Ben while Terra boulders rise from underground and shot them to Ben, the boulders flew past Blackfire. Ben's arms turned to guns and they started shooting blocks to the speeding Blackfire and the boulders. The Tamaranian stopped and her eyes were glowing a bright purple and shot thin beams of the same colour at the projectiles Ben launched and turned them to dust. The large boulders missed and Terra jumped on a floating slab of earth, used it as a board, and sped to Ben.
Ben quickly stretched his arm to grab a metal beam that was on the ceiling. His arms pulled the rest of his body towards the ceiling, allowing him to evade Terra. He hung from the beam but heard a loud roar and saw Dash jump towards him. "Oh boy!" Dash got a good grip a forcefully threw Ben to the ground while his block arm was ripped off his body. When Ben slammed to the ground, it looked like he shattered into many pieces. Dash began laughing and he heard the sound of Ben's blocks reforming. He looked down and Ben kicked the hybrid tertramand off him with his legs.
Blackfire was mad and her arms were engulfed in bright purple circles. She flew to Ben so she could land huge blows on him. Ben was one step ahead and turned into a block wall and formed a hole for Blackfire to fly through. Once she noticed, a block arm grabbed her from behind and Ben's stretchy arm tossed her to Terra who fell off her rock board once Blackfire crashed into her.
Ben reformed to his gorilla form. "Had enough?"
Blackfire smirked after she stood back up. "Not even close."
At the same time June was avoiding slashes from Cheshire and whilst this was happening, Red X shot an X that was covered in red electricity. Cheshire flipped over this projectile. The X hit June, and she faced an electrical shock. Red X was seen smirking and he saw smoke rising off the Te-Xuan-Ze. June was surrounded in an orange aura and she leaped towards Red X with quick feet and swept her foot across his face. He hit the floor hard, he quickly stood back up, and he saw June had quickly initiated an aerial battle with Cheshire, the orange aura was still raging.
They both landed on the ground, June launched off to the girl while leaving cracks in the ground. She threw a huge punch to her face which left a crack on her mask. A growl could be heard under the mask and she swiped her right leg but June blocked it with two arms. While she was engulfed in the orange energy, her dark hair turned white and she palmed Cheshire in the chest which sent her flying back into a closed hotdog stand, leaving a large dent in the wall.
June glares at Red X and she cracks her knuckles. He flung six X shurikens to her and June grabbed her staff off the ground and spun the staff fast enough to block them. An orange aura surrounded her and she quickly leaped to Red X's side, swung her staff to hit Red X in the face and he fell down to the bottom floor.
She looked down to see Ben struggling against Dash, Terra and Blackfire. He was cornered to the now deactivated escalator. June's hair became dark again and the orange aura disappeared. She jumped onto the black railing of the escalator before running down. She performed a battle cry and when she got to the end of the escalator railing she hopped off with her staff and smashed her staff against Dash's head. The impact knocked Dash out while at the same time, breaking Juniper's staff in two.
"I just took out three of your goons. You still want to fight us!?" June said.
Blackfire didn't falter and her eyes were glowing bright purple. "As if! We're not leaving till we destroy Ben Tennyson!"
"If you're with the Rooters, then Servantis must have sent you!" Ben exclaimed. "We beat him and his goons once, what makes you think you can do better?"
Terra glared at the two and made a huge fist of smaller rocks and she flung this to the two, forcing them to scatter. Once this happened Terra was covered in a yellow aura and she launched six boulders towards Ben. He turned his arms into large hammers and started to smash the smaller rocks into pieces.
Blackfire was speeding to June and the both of their fists connected and purple beams of lightning sparked from the impact. June shot back towards Ben. "Ben, let's try that thing we practiced!"
Ben nodded. "Got it!" he rolled into a ball around June and he started to form his blocks around her body like armor. Ben's omnitrix symbol form on the chest section
"No matter how many times we practice this, it still feels weird." June remarked.
Bloxx's face grew on June's right shoulder. "Well you suggested it." Blackfire hovered above the pair. "Above you!" They formed block shields and blocked the Blackbolts that were fired at them. But they both failed to notice that Terra made a sharp boulder crash into them. They both flew back but remained together.
Once June got up she saw Blackfire flying to her with her eyes glowing bright purple. June drove her right fist, it connected with Blackfire's, and when it did, some blocks flew off. June outstretched her left arm, it formed a large fist, and it connected with the floating Tamaranian and sent her careening through a pillar. Terra made several sharp rocks float beside her. Her hair was standing up on end. She threw all the shards towards Ben and June. The Bloxx armor formed a hemisphere shield around June, deflecting the rocks from them. The hemisphere dropped and it reformed into the Bloxx armor again.
June summoned a staff to appear in her right arm. While running to Terra, she was deflecting all the rocks that were thrown in her direction by spinning the wushu staff quickly enough. And Ben as the Bloxx armor was blocking the sharp rocks from hurting her. June jabbed the staff into Terra's gut, knocking the wind out of her and forcing her to her knees.
However they were both blasted by Blackfire and they slid backwards on the floor. After getting up, the two saw Blackfire, Red X and Terra walking towards them.
"Ugh! This just never ends! We need a new plan." The Bloxx armor broke off and Bloxx formed his original form.
"Yeah, like what?" he inquired.
"They out number us, so we'll outnumber them!"
He immediately picked up on what June was saying. "Not a bad plan." He slammed the omnitrix core and while a green flash shone over his body, his size reduced to a similar size of an eight year old with a white body with what looked like headphones attached to his ears as well as what looked like an Mp3 player on his back. "Now what?"
Suddenly a red x-shuriken was tossed to them and they ducked under it. Blackfire was standing in-between Red X and Terra. "This has gone on for way too long. You're both as good as dead!" her eyes were covered in a bright purple glow. She shot a bright purple beam that sped to both June and Ben, the smaller battler braced himself but he found that his feet left the ground and noticed that June carried him as she jumped back up to the second floor.
June looked down to the three. "I'll fight that dark haired girl. Can you take on the other two?"
"Ha, do you even have to ask." Ben jumped onto the railing and leaped to the three below. Rocks and Blackbolts were being fired at him, and he split into five copies. The five Echo Echos laughed and one of them jumped off the face of Red X and another stepped on his foot. It didn't cause that much pain but it was very annoying.
When he turned around he saw they were standing together. He shot an X shaped explosive blast from his right palm. The Echo Echos scattered, one of them unleashed a sonic scream. He teleported from the sound wave before it could hit him. The three Echo Echos were together while they looked around for him. Red X appeared behind them and before they could scream, he threw X shaped restraints at them, which covered their mouths, preventing them from attacking. They struggled to get them off and each one of them had an X shuriken pass through them, causing their bodies to dissolve into silicone.
"That was too easy." Red X smugly said. But he realized that his job wasn't done as he saw Terra flying into a porcelain pillar. He saw that there were two left. "So that wasn't all of them." He chuckled and moved to assist Terra.
June and Blackfire were locked in a stare down with the Tamaranian having a confident grin growing on her face. "I don't know how Cheshire and Dash lost to you…" her eyes were engulfed in a bright purple glow. "But I can't afford to lose to you, the Proctor wants Tennyson destroyed. You know what that means; you're going to die right here!"
Juniper's angered glare only intensified as white magical, flowing symbols on her cheeks and arms appeared. Her hair turned white while her pink strip of hair remained the same as it swirled into a loop. June punched her fists together in slight excitement. "I can't wait to wipe that smile off your face."
"That I'd like to se…" June didn't let her finish and unleashed a powerful punch to Blackfire's face sending her crashing into a clothing store. Blackfire got up and she released an explosion of bright purple energy accompanied by an annoyed scream. After Blackfire's outburst, June kept her guard up. The Tamaranian shot out from the remains of the store she was in before heading to June in rage.
Amity Park
Axion Labs
Within the medical quarters of the Axion Labs Plumber base, Heidi's eyes started to flicker open. When she was about to fully awaken from her slumber, she saw three faces looking down on her. Though she could only recognize one of them while the other two had long hair, though one of them looked messy.
"Sandy…?" she stirred while looking to Randy.
Randy gave a disappointed sigh. "Still not my name…"
"Where am I? And who are you two?" Heidi pointed to both Lila and Jazz.
"Look, just calm down and we'll explain everything." Jazz said.
"To be honest… I don't really know what's going on either." Lila admitted while she gave a slight smile.
"Why am I here? Where is here?" Heidi asked while she held her head. "And why do I feel weird…?" Heidi looked to her left and saw a lamp on her nightstand. When she stretched her hand to try and turn it off, the bulb immediately blew. "Gah!" she screamed. "Okay, what just happened!?" she asked in a panic.
Maddie walked into the room. "Oh good you're awake." She looked at the blown bulb. "And judging by your state, I can assume you have some questions for me."
"Absolutely!" Heidi exclaimed. "First off you can tell me where I am."
"That will come later, but first. You must follow me. I'll explain what I can on the way."
"Okay, but why is Andy here?"
"Randy…" he quickly corrected.
"That will be answered too." Maddie assured.
Heidi followed Maddie out of the room while Randy and Lila followed them.
They started to walk down the hall of the base. "So what exactly is going on?" Heidi asked.
Maddie sighed. "Right now, you are in a highly top secret facility. You were collected from McFist industries and it was revealed that they performed certain… experiments on you."
Heidi immediately stopped walking. "Hold on… what, did they do!?" she worriedly asked.
"Nothing that is immediately life threatening, so we wanted to examine you…"
"Will it hurt?"
"I've been informed that it shouldn't."
"Okay… but why is Mandy here?"
"I would rather let him tell you."
The four walked into a large lab that had futuristic looking machines. Ceasar stood by one of them. "Oh you're here."
"So what's going to happen?"
"Well, right now you have nanites inside you."
"Doesn't everybody?"
"Yes, but when you were inside McFist Industries, you were injected with a special Nanite. It's called the Delta Nanite."
"Oh yes, I remember that… wait this isn't going to kill me is it?"
"You don't have to worry, it doesn't seem like the Nanite is causing any damage to your body."
"Oh, so I'll be fine."
"Not really, you see this Nanite is able to activate the already deactivated Nanites inside you."
"Wait!? I'm going to turn into a MONSTER!?" Heidi began sweating profusely at the prospect of becoming an EVO.
"The Nanite won't do that, at least I don't think so." Randy folded his arm while giving Ceasar a dirty look. "…But, I have figured out one ability that your Nanites give you."
"And what is that?"
"The ability to shut down any kind of technology."
Heidi gasped. "So… when I destroyed the light bulb in that other room… that was the nanites?"
"More specifically, it was the Delta Control Nanite, commanding your other nanites to perform the action."
"Well… can't you get it out!?"
"I could try… but it might be quite painful."
"Well can't you put me under or something?"
"We could, but there is no telling what the Nanite could do if we try to tamper with it. It could harm your internal body."
"So that's it! I'm nothing but a walking EMP for the rest of my life?"
"No necessarily, the catch is that the Nanite is inside you. That means that you alone should be able to control it."
"Uh wait… how am I supposed to control it?"
"That's easy!" Rex walked into the lab. "If your Nanites works like mine, then you should be able to control it with your mind." Rex transformed his right arm into a smackhand. Heidi's eyes grew in shock.
"WHAT DID…? YOUR ARM…!" she comically exclaimed.
Rex returned his arm to normal. "See… my Nanites allow me to create mechanical parts with my body."
"And it doesn't hurt?"
"Not a bit."
Heidi looked at her own right hand, she saw a green techno geometric pattern spread through her hand. "Okay… I'll try…" she outstretched her arm and imagined her arm to look just like Rex's... Nothing happened though. "I don't get it; I thought you said I can control these things."
"In theory you should, but I predict they work differently from Rex's." Ceasar explained. "When the Nanite was first injected into you, what do you remember happening…"
Heidi held her head as tried to remember the previous day's events. "I…I can't remember too well. It's all a big blur to me. I just remembered I was strapped to a chair and those people injecting me, and then the next moment I'm picking up a blaster and trying to escape." She looked at a functioning machine and walked over to it.
"What are you doing?" Rex asked.
"I'm trying something…" she placed her palm on the machine and green electricity began to flow from the machine into Heidi's arm, while green geometric patterns were seen on her arm and through her clothing. The green electricity singed her slightly and her hair was standing up on end.
"Interesting, the machine is still functional." Ceasar noted.
"That's because I didn't want to shut it down. I'm trying to absorb the energy being produced from this thing." She released her hand off the machine and it had green electricity crackling around it. "Okay… let's try this." She aimed her arm at the floor and shot a green electric burst of energy from her hand into the ground which had a scorch mark around the affected area.
"You can absorb electrical energy and release it in an energy blast. What kind of Nanite did Black Knight create?"
"At least it is safe with us, what worries me is Alpha." Rex said.
"Alpha? Who is Alpha?" Heidi inquired.
"He's a powerful EVO with a grudge against me and my brother. And I can guarantee that we will see them again, especially since you have their Nanite now." Rex pointed to Heidi while he said this.
"WHAT?! I didn't want any of this!"
"Well chances are that she will come back for it eventually. So I say the best option would be that you learn how to use the Delta Nanite, so you can protect yourself with it." Maddie said.
"You're asking to fight those guys that wanted this thing inside me?"
"Would you prefer that you get kidnapped by them at a moment's notice?" Maddie asked with implied sarcasm. "We can't get the Nanite out of you, and we don't know how to permanently shut it down. So you have two choices, stay here in our protection or you can leave, but rest assured. If you make the choice to leave, we can't guarantee your safety when it comes to Black Knight and her allies.
"Give me some time to think about it okay."
"As you wish, Randy could you take her to her temporary quarters?"
"Alright, follow me Heidi…"
…
Both of them were alone in a hallway heading to Heidi's room that was prepared. "Okay, Andy! What's going on and where is my dumb little brother?"
Randy sighed. "Fine I'll tell you what I can, but first I have to tell you something important."
"What could it… be?" she saw Randy pulling out the Ninja mask. "Why do have the Ninja's mask?"
From a corner of another hallway, the shadows of Randy transforming could be seen and this was all Heidi's mouth could say.
"WHAT… THE… JUICE…?"
Orchid Bay
Orchid Bay Mall
Purple orbs of energy could be seen exploding all over the inside of the mall. Blackfire was the source of this as she was hovering in the air. "Come out of hiding… you cannot stay out of my sight forever." She sang while she had a wicked smile on her face. She heard she sound of a rolling can and fired a blackbolt to the direction of the sound. She saw the blown up can of beans, splattered all over the floor.
"Hey, Blacky!" the Tamaranian quickly turned around and was met with a spinning kick that sent her crashing to the ground. "That was easy…" however June quickly sensed a presence behind her, she turned around before Cheshire swung her claws at June's midsection, making a three clawed cut in it. "You again!?" Cheshire mockingly waved her fingers before dashing to the Te-Xuan-Ze.
Ben as Echo Echo meanwhile was still having trouble with Red X and Terra, he avoided a boulder that was thrown to his direction. "Hold Still!" Terra growled, he lifted pebble sized stones and pelted them to Ben like they were machine gun bullets.
"Not good!" he unleashed his sonic scream which held the pebbles in the air before disintegrating them. He made three copies of himself. "We're… gonna… finish… this!" a loud stomp was heard from behind them.
"Did you forget me?" Dash smacked them away with two arms, sending them flying across the plaza. "You're going down, Ben Turdison!"
Terra groaned at his attempted insult. "Just stick to what you're good at…" Terra sprinted to where Ben was flung, she looked behind a fallen pillar and just saw one of him but he performed his sonic assult. Terra raised a defensive wall from the ground, but it instantly shattered and the force drove her back.
"June… where… are…you!"
"Up here!" she exclaimed in response to Ben's question, as she was fighting on the second floor. He saw her avoiding Cheshire's swipes and Blackfire struck her from behind.
Ben created a copy of himself, they grabbed each other's hands, and one of them began spinning like a top. He let go of his duplicate, sending him to the second floor. Blackfire was the target, and when she saw a white glint speeding to her, she was unable to respond fast enough allowing Ben to head-butt her with strong force, making her fly backwards.
After this he saw Cheshire rushing to June, he performed a sonic scream which sent her flying back. "These guys just don't stop!" June exclaimed.
"Tell me… about it!" Ben saw another one of his duplicates fire a sonic wave to Red X and Dash, sending them flying. "We… have to… end this!"
"Yeah sure, but how?" June saw a red glint in her peripheral vision causing her to duck. "They just keep coming back!"
"Fine, then lets… lead them… to the… exit." June nodded and picked up Ben and dashed to the locked entrance of the mall.
"Uh now what!?"
They both saw the five of them approaching them. "Just… wait!"
Blackfire and Cheshire joined Dash, Terra and Red X on the ground. They stood together.
"This is… going to be… very loud… tell all those… in hiding to… cover their ears!"
"You heard him! COVER YOUR EARS!" June exclaimed. The civilians including Jody, Ophelia and Roger covered their ears.
Ben split himself into two before those two became four and those four became sixteen and so on until a large circle of Echo Echos surrounded the Hit Squad.
"What is he doing!?" Blackfire exclaimed.
"This… ends… now!" the Echo Echos said in unison. "SONIC DOOM!" they all unleashed their loudest sonic screams which trapped the five villains in an echo chamber shaped like a half-sphere where the sounds were reverberating off one another, the sound just kept getting louder and it wasn't too long before all five of them collapsed to the ground. After they collapsed, all they could hear was a high pitched whistle in their ears that continuously blew. The same could be said for the rest of the mall inhabitants but this was to a much lesser extent.
All the Echo Echos merged until there was one left. The omnitrix timed out and Ben was back in his normal form. "Okay… that should do it." He tiredly said.
"WHAT?" June exclaimed, still hearing the high pitched tone in her head.
"Oh… sorry about that…"
"WHAT? SPEAK UP! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
…
Soon the mall was evacuated and June, Ben, Jody, Ophelia and Roger were standing outside. "THAT WAS AWESOME!" Roger exclaimed. "Like, you two kicked some serious butt!"
"Are you two okay though?" Jody worriedly asked. "You're not hurt are you?"
"What I want to know is, why you kept this a secret from us!?" Ophelia asked with an accusatory tone.
Ben shifted his pupils to June's direction. "Uh… should I use Gutrot again?"
June looked to be thinking "So if these guys claim to be with the Rooters…? Then that means…"
"What are you talking about?" Jody inquired.
"Malevolence…" she whispered.
"Wait, you really think…"
They both looked at each other. "We need to check on Malevolence!"
Ben activated his omnitrix before he quickly transformed into XLR8. "Hurry, get on my back!" June got on Ben's back while he held her.
"Hey, are you two going to tell us what's going on. How can June fight like that, and Ben… What are you?" Ophelia asked.
"We'll explain later, promise! But we have to leave now!" June said. Ben sprinted down the street, leaving a sonic boom that sped past Ophelia, Jody and Roger.
"When I find those two…" Ophelia said.
…
They both got to Jasmine's house in a matter of seconds. When they arrived there, June got off Ben and he transformed to his human form.
They saw that the front door of Jasmine's house was broken into. "Oh no, Ah-Mah!" June exclaimed. After entering the house, they see it is in shambles. Jasmine is lying face down on the floor with Munroe on his sides. They both had bruises on them. "Ah-mah, Munroe?"
"Juniper…" she muttered.
"What happened?!"
"These people in black suits came in; they managed to get past all my defenses…" she coughed before she continued. "They were powerful; Munroe and I were no match for them… They managed to get away with that Malevolence person."
"Don't talk Ah-Mah… we'll get help for you!"
Ben looked down into the hidden room that Malevolence was imprisoned in. "June, she right. They got away with him. Those guys at the mall were there to keep us occupied long enough so they could capture Malevolence... June, with Malevolence… The Rooters."
"I know…" June said clenching her fist. "But we should get Munroe and Ah-Mah help before we do anything else."
…
Hours later, the sun was starting to set and Jasmine was being put on a stretcher and into an ambulance. "You don't have to worry, your Grandmother will be in safe hands." The paramedic said. "Though I must say, she must have put up quite a fight against those robbers."
"Y-yeah… just take care of her." June said while tears were falling from her eyes.
"We promise… also we'll drop your dog at the local veterinarian. Don't worry, he'll be fine. Will you two be okay though?"
"Yes… don't worry about us." Ben replied.
"Okay, stay safe you two…"
The ambulance drove down the street when it was out of sight. June started to tense up. "Hey June, don't worry. Your Grandmother will be fine."
"I hope you're right… I didn't think that they would…"
"Neither did I, but they did."
"I should have been there. Maybe I could have helped stop them." June said while new tears were starting to form.
"Look… you can't blame yourself for this. Servantis must have planned this well in advance." Ben said trying to comfort her.
"Malevolence… they are going to find a way to restore his memories, aren't they?"
Ben sighed. "It's possible…"
June clenched her fists. "I'll do it! I'll make sure I beat Malevolence and this time, I'll take him out for good."
"Not by yourself." Ben said. "If we're going to beat him, we'll do it together with the others."
June sighed. "You're right… okay, let's do it!"
Ben tapped the communicator on his omnitrix. "Hey, Rook. It's me!"
"Ben, I didn't expect to hear from you." Rook replied.
"Change of plans, the Rooters got Malevolence!"
"But I thought you and Miss Lee were keeping an eye on him." Rook sternly said.
"Some things happened… we couldn't stop them."
"So… what now?"
"We end this… once and for all. We bring down the Rooters and Malevolence for good this time!"
"Okay, Stacy and I will arrive soon to pick you up." The transmission ended.
"So we just wait here?" June asked.
"Yeah, Rook will get here soon."
June looked to Ben. "Ben, I'm glad that you came… If you didn't come, well I'd be alone right now."
"Not completely…" they both saw Jody, Ophelia and Roger walking up to them. "Glad we finally caught up." Jody said with relief.
"You guys…" June said.
"Look, we may not know what's going on with you two or how you can fight and all that other stuff, but we want to be there for you June. We're your best friends."
"So, you guys aren't freaked out?" June asked.
"Oh no." Roger started. "We were freaked out, but that was during all of that fighting. Buuuut we're totally chill now."
"So you want to explain what's going on?" Ophelia asked but in a calmer tone than before.
"I mean… if you don't want to… then that's cool too…" Jody quickly added.
June looked to the setting sun. "No… maybe it's time you guys finally knew, why I happen to disappear at times."
"I'm sorry… at times?" Ophelia questioned.
"Okay… sort of… all the time, but there is a reason for that."
Ben put a palm on June's shoulder. "Are you sure about this?"
"Positive. Believe me… I've held this in for a long time and it's going to be great to finally let all of it out." She looked to her three friends. "So… where do I start?"
Danwood – 1 Day later
Plumber HQ
Rook's Proto-Truk landed in the Plumber hangar, Ben, June, Rook and Stacy were running into the main operating centre of the base where the rest of the plumber operatives were waiting.
Max was surprised to see Ben and June return. "Ben, Juniper. You two are back. Juniper, aren't you supposed to be in hiding?"
"I know, but things happened…"
"The Rooters found her us, but not only that. They found Malevolence, and they got away with him."
Max had his hand under his chin. "This complicates things…"
"Well let's make it simple." Ben started. "I say we attack the Rooters head on!"
"Wait, that's not going to work!" Katara exclaimed. "If they have Malevolence, wouldn't it be the worst time for us to attack them?"
"Yes, but don't forget. Malevolence was a useless husk when he was with us, if we attack the Rooters soon enough, then they wouldn't have Malevolence ready to fight us in time… hopefully." June argued.
"Ben, we can't attack the Rooters. That would require us to go into the Null Void, and if you add in what you just told me about their new operatives, then we don't have the fighting strength to go up against them." Max stated
Before the conversation could progress any further, footsteps were heard within the room. "Then maybe we can help you." When everyone turned around, they were met with the sight of the Teen Titans (minus Raven) standing near the entrance to the room.
"How did you get in here!?" Max asked.
"I scanned the area and I found your secret entrance." Cyborg explained.
"Also, using a toilet to get down here… not the best experience…" Beast Boy said while slightly shaking.
"Aren't you the Heroes from Jump City?" Rook asked.
"Yes, we're the Teen Titans. We're here to assist you in taking down the Rooters. We have also heard of the exploits of the Plumbers, so we are well aware of your activities." Robin said.
Suddenly some of the Plumber white suites aimed their blasters at the Titans. "You want to help us beat the Rooters? Give us one reason we should trust you?" Max asked.
"I believe Avatar Aang was here before." Robin said. He pulled out Aang's Plumber badge. "He gave it to us hoping that it would be enough for you to trust us."
"These Rooters had also attacked us." Starfire said.
"And they have a good friend of ours." Beast Boy added with a serious face.
"We know how powerful they can be, so it looks like you could use all the help you can get." Cyborg said.
Max looked around the room. "Lower your weapons." The Plumbers complied with this order and they lowered their blasters. "If you're really here to help us, then I'll allow it. I'll let Agent Stacy brief you."
Stacy shook her head several times in surprise. "R-really Magister Tennyson."
Max smiled in response to her question. "Make sure you tell them everything so their up to speed with the rest of us."
"O-oh course!" Stacy said.
…
A couple hours later, the group that was about to enter the Null Void were about ready to head out. Ty Lee and Stacy were a room where Phineas and Ferb would conduct their projects and experiments.
"No way!" Stacy exclaimed.
Both girls were wearing slightly modified versions of Proto–Tech armor. Stacy's was teal and black while Ty Lee's was pink and black and it had what looked like a pink power core on her upper chest area.
"You really made these for us?" Ty Lee asked.
"Yep." Phineas nodded. "As soon as Magister Tennyson told us to, we've been working on them non-stop. And they have special capabilities." He turned to Stacy. "Like yours for example, Stacy. Your armor can create shields that can deflect enemy attacks." There were green hexagonal symbols on Stacy's wrists, knees and stomach area.
"No kidding!?" Stacy raised her arm and out of the green hexagon on her wrist appeared a large, green, transparent hexagonal shaped barrier in front of her arm. "This will definitely come in handy! Thanks you guys."
"And as for you Ty Lee." Phineas started. "Your armor doubles your speed, stamina and dexterity, and your gloves were fitted with a special fabric that allows you to release static electrical discharges from your hands."
"Uh…?" Ty Lee had lost Phineas at the last part of his explanation.
Ferb simplified it for her. "When you touch something or someone, they will get an electrical shock that will make your physical attacks more powerful."
"Oh… that makes much more sense… now that we have these; those Rooters won't know what hit them!"
"We wouldn't have been able to craft the armor without Rook. He was a big help." Phineas said.
"Well that was sweet of him." Stacy said. "I'll make sure to thank him later."
…
Ben, June, Stacy, Ty Lee, Rook, Katara, Robin, Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy were standing in front of the Null Void projector.
"Now are all of you ready?" Patalliday asked standing behind them.
"As ready as we'll ever be." June replied.
"What about the Plumber base in Amity Park?" Stacy asked.
"They have been informed about what's going on?" Max said. "If anything else on Earth happens, they will handle it. Phineas and Ferb will handle the Null Void projector."
"We'll be right here when you need to get back." Phineas said.
"Alright everyone, we must be prepared to engage in battle the moment we are into the Null Void." Rook said.
"There are some pretty nasty things on the other side." Ben said.
"I'm not scared, let's do this. We go in there, defeat the Rooters and take out Malevolence once and for all." June said.
Ferb activated the Null Void projector, creating a red swirling portal in front of him.
"No turning back right?" Ty Lee said.
"If we are going to go, we better do it now." Robin said.
"Good luck out there." Max said wishing them luck on the other side.
Wasting no time, the ten of them started to walk into the portal. No doubt ready to face the Rooters and whatever else they may encounter in the hostile Null Void.
Unknown Location
The Black Keep
Black Knight's ship was flying high in the sky while the sun was starting to set. The purple haired EVO looked to Christiana who was looking out of the window, staring into space. Both women were alone in the bridge. "Hey, you didn't tell me what our next move is. Why won't you allow me to activate the Dominion Program?"
Christiana sighed. "You are too impatient and that was the problem with my last master. A time will come when the Dominion Program will serve us well, and that will be the best time to activate it."
"So what do we do now? With the amount of fighting strength on our ship, we can proceed with our next phase."
"No, it is too early. If we move to early, we will fail in the long run." The woman turned around. "If you are patient, you will find that fortune will favor us." She began to leave the room. "I must meditate, do not bother me."
After leaving the bridge she started walking down the hall to her room. She opened the door to her room to find that it was completely dark. She snapped her fingers and after she performed this action, multiple candles lit her room. There was a carpet in the middle of her room that had numerous symbols drawn on it. She sat on the carpet and started to meditate.
"My master… can you hear me?" she said.
…
Within her mind she was walking in the vastness of space. "Master… it's me. I have returned." She fell to one knee as she bowed.
A large eye opened in front of her. "You have returned… excellent. What do you have to report?"
"Master… just like I predicted. The Rooters are going to be attacked, and the conclusion will end like how I told you earlier. And the villains in Maltruant's circle have made their way to Remnant to retrieve his last piece. It is all coming together as I predicted."
"And what about him?"
"He… hasn't returned yet... or rather he isn't in the state he once was."
"Then we still have time. If the battle is going to end like you say it is, then everything is going according to plan." The eye started laughing maniacally.
"Very soon, master. The World… no the entire Universe will fear you."
"Oh they will… I will become supreme overlord of the Universe, and nothing will stop me!"
"You shall master, it is destined. Everyone who stands in your way, will perish just like in my predictions." She bowed again and fell to one knee. "Soon, all of time and space will be in your control, my Master."
The eye started to disappear into blackness of space that Christiana was surrounded by.
…
She woke up in her room and an evil smirk appeared on her face. "Disaster will fall upon this world, and when it does… a new overlord will rise." Right after she said this, all the candles in her room were blown out, putting her room into complete darkness.
A/N: Hello everyone, I'm sorry that these chapters keep taking longer than they should I've got other stories that I want to update as well, so I'm going to try to release one every month at minimum. I can't guarantee this, but I hope to get into a rhythm of updating monthly.
There is only one question that I'll be answering this month.
Q: Would I add Totally Spies if I've seen the show?
A: Yes I have seen the show. However whether it will fit in what I'm trying to do with the story that remains to be seen.
Hopefully I'll see you next month on the next chapter.
Next Time: The Rooter's Last Stand Part 1
