It was a dark night in Bellwood and a rat scurried into a stray tin can that was soon blasted at with a blue energy blast, scaring away the rat.
"Ha!"
Holding the blaster was an alien of a race similar to Needle Mouse's species, who had grey fur, big yellow eyes and long black quills for hair. He had a long muzzle filled with sharp teeth and wore a black T-shirt with an orange/brown jacket and blue jeans.
He walked over to the rat, picked it up and gulped it down whole in one go, burping afterwards. Afterwards, headlights shone on the alien and he looked to see Kevin pulling up in his car, alone.
"Kevin, buddy," he said. "I've been waiting like an hour."
"I said I'd be here and I'm here, Argit. It's tough to get away because I'm living with my big sister again. Now what's your proposition?"
"Oh, why you've got to be such a downer after all we've been through together in the Null Void? Ain't you glad to see your old running buddy?"
Kevin just glared and rolled up the window, preparing to drive away. He pulled the gear back into reverse before Argit panicked.
"No, wait! I got that tech you were looking for."
Kevin rolled down the window in curiosity.
"What makes you think I'm looking for anything, Argit?"
"Oh, come on, Kev. Octagon Vreedle says you've been vid messaging all the underground swappers. You're in the market for a specific primo machino. And I've got it."
"For real?" Kevin asked.
"Oh, now you're listening now that I can do something for ya. You are so off my contact list."
Argit whipped out his phone and deleted Kevin's name before walking away. But Kevin pulled forwards in his car to meet up with him.
"Come on, Argit. You've burned me on so many deals so many times it makes me forget how tight we really are or were."
"Kev, buddy," Argit said, giving his old friend a fist bump. "I can't stay mad at you. Not when there's money involved."
"So... let's see it."
"Uh... about that. I don't actually got it got it."
"Aw, come on, man!"
"But I can make a connection with the guy who does. I have to warn you though. It's gonna cost ya."
Kevin narrowed his eyes.
"I'm gonna have to deceive the team for this," he thought. "And my sister. But it's going to be worth it in the end."
Later, the Omni-Team were hanging around the Rust Bucket II in the trailer park as they looked to each other and Kevin fixed up the underside as Allison grilled up some burgers for the team
"So," Jen smiled to her best friend as they crowded around each other. "How was Paris?"
"That was a great fight," she said. "Me and that Nora girl ended up tied. She didn't handle it well. She flew into a rage after it was announced, accused me of cheating and that she should've won, blah, blah, blah."
"Did you cheat?" Ben asked. "Did you use your superpowers?"
"Of course not! I'm no cheater," she said. "I just do the best I can every fight and if I win, I win. If I lose, I lose. In this case I did neither and I'm happy to have been a part of it. Besides, it's not like anyone found out I'm Matter Girl."
"Hey, guys, look!" Gwen said, showing a picture to the others of them five years ago around the Rust Bucket. "It's us around the old Rust Bucket."
"Heh," Becky chuckled. "It's so like Grandpa Max to lose one dumper to a crazy Chronian then go out to find another."
"That summer was incredible," Jen said, leaning back in her chair. "Hero time all the time, Kevin was still a bad guy."
"Let it go, Jenny. I know you guys are here to keep an eye on me," Kevin said, getting out from the underside.
"Me especially," Allison said as she gave out the burgers to the team and they sat around in their seats.
"It's really sweet of you to try to fix up Rust Bucket II, Kevin," Gwen said.
Kevin smiled and got up, taking the wenches out from the bottom and lowered the Rust Bucket down to ground level.
Gwen then put the photo away back into the collection and walked off to try to put it back in the Rust Bucket II, only for Kevin to block her path.
"Not yet."
Kevin then closed the door behind him to set it up.
"We're still not buying the nice guy act, Kevin!" Ben called as he and his sister ate their burgers.
"Ben, come on. He's changed," Allison said.
Kevin inside buckled up and used his Plumbers' badge to activate the secret engine behind the radio as he smirked.
"Okay, I'm going to try the engine!"
He then turned the key in the ignition, starting up the engine with a puff of smoke.
"Go, Kevin," Jen smirked.
But just when they were getting comfortable, Kevin put the RV in drive and peeled out of there as the team dove out of the way of his path as he drove out of the park.
"Come back, Kevin!" Ben shouted as he and his sister put on their Omni-Suits and slammed the cores down.
Ben transformed into an moth-like alien whose four wings and antenna can fold up into a hooded robe (much akin to a poncho), giving him the appearance of a phantom. He had a black body with cyan patches on his arms, shoulders, legs, the back of his wings, and the back of his neck that resemble ice chunks. Each patch has thick blue outlining except for the ones on his wings, which are outlined in black. There is also a black line that runs on the edge of the outer margin on the back of each wing. On his torso are three plates. One resembling the chest, a shorter plate under the chest, and one resembling the stomach. On his face are blue cheeks and underjaw, a mouth that always shows bluish white teeth, and large green eyes with dark green spots. The top of his head also sports a blue Y-shaped marking that extends over his scalp. He has three pointed fingers and a thumb on each hand, and two toes on each foot and a third toe-like extension on his ankles and the green Omnitrix symbol grew on her chest.
A red line covered Jen's hand and it turned into three claws. The red line then started to run from her wrist up to her eye, and when it did, her eyes went full pink and yellow wings started to form on her sides in the form of a membrane on his lower arms down to his sides, her legs growing thinner and she grew yellow horns extending from his nose. On her sides, she grew gills and she also grew a tail from his spine and the pink Omnitrix symbol grew on her chest. She then did a pose, before flying towards the screen.
"Big Chill!" Ben shouted, unfurling his wings and flying into the air.
"Jetray!" Jen shouted, flying towards the Rust Bucket II with her brother, both in hot pursuit of Kevin.
Kevin looked in the rearview mirror to see the twins following him. He then pressed a button, activating a laser cannon from the roof of the RV, blasting at the twins as they swiftly dodged the blasts before he managed to lock onto Big Chill.
Before the laser blast could hit him, Big Chill turned intangible and phased through the laser as he and his sister continued their hot pursuit of the RV. Thinking quickly, Big Chill froze the road ahead, causing the Rust Bucket II to slip and slide on the ice.
Kevin activated the Plumber's tech, which caused the wheels to grow spikes and the RV started to move on the ice normally, breaking through.
Jetray flew in and fired the pink beams from her eyes, which blasted into the side of the Rust Bucket II, causing it to swerve and break through the road barrier, sendinig it down the mountainside as the twins followed him.
Kevin screamed as he moved down the hill and he quickly used the Plumber tech to cause a spiked bumper to grow from the motor, which mowed down the trees as he came near them.
The Omni-Twins avoided the logs as they flew towards them and glared towards Kevin as he flew off of the slope at the end of the hill and landed back on the road.
He then looked into the rearview mirror and smirked as he saw the twins still following him.
"Nice try, guys. But the pair of you are minding your own business tonight."
He pressed the Plumber's tech again and a rocket launcher grew from the side of the Rust Bucket's frame and he launched a rocket towards the kids, which unfolded into a net, which wrapped around them, sending them crashing to the ground.
Jetray slammed the street with her wing in frustration as she and her brother looked up to see Kevin drive away from them, disappearing down the mountainside as they turned back to human form.
Gwen and Becky ran up on Gwen's energy platforms as Allison also peeled in by them, pulling her motorcycle over.
"He got away," Jen sighed.
"Whoa," Beck said, impressed. "I mean, oh no!"
"How could we have let our guard down?" Ben asked, angry at himself. "He's a liar and a thief."
"And my little brother," Allison said to her friend. "That was the old Kevin. He's different now. And the five of us are different too."
"Hang on," Gwen said, pulling out a handkerchief from her pocket. "Jen, we can track him from this."
"You kept his sweaty handkerchief?" she asked, slightly disgusted as Gwen laid the handkerchief on the floor and the pair of them focused as it glowed pink and started levitating between them before falling to the ground.
"We've got him."
Meanwhile in a clearing nearby, Argit examined under the hood of the Rust Bucket II, checking out the technology inside and muttered to himself before closing the hood and turning to Kevin.
"It's a bucket of bolts, man."
Kevin then led his old friend inside the RV and used his Plumber's badge to separate the framing on the wall to reveal several weapons inside. He then revealed the Plumber's tech inside of the dashboard as Argit turned to him, impressed.
"Like I said, it's a bucket of bolts. But the aftermarket extras are worth a fortune!"
"Think your guy will take it?"
"Oh yeah... if he ever got the chance."
Argit suddenly bared his quills at the vigilante and fired them at him, sticking into his neck, which injected venom through his system and caused his motor functions to suddenly seize up.
"I can't move!" Kevin shouted through gritted teeth.
"Oh, sorry, Kev. See, this haul's worth enough cashola to pay off everybody I owe and finally live a little."
Argit then tossed Kevin out of the Rust Bucket II onto his back, unable to do anything.
"The Rust Bucket's all I have to bargain with!"
"You should've held out on me, buddy."
Argit slammed the door and got into the driver's seat.
"When you can walk again, you go see him. A tech dealer named Vulkanus. He says he knows you. Says he wants you, your sister and your friends dead!"
Kevin gasped at that name as Argit drove off into the desert. He growled and groaned out as he struggled to touch the ground, but once he did so, he absorbed the rocky material, gaining his motor functions back as he ran towards a large boulder and punched it, severing the top layer. He lifted it up and then tossed the large rock towards the Rust Bucket II.
Argit swerved past it to avoid it, driving off into the moonlight.
Kevin only looked on in defeat as he could only hear the faint hum of a motorcycle engine and a car engine as Allison drove up on her motorcycle with Jen hanging onto her back as Gwen drove his car up to him with Ben, Gwen and Becky arrived in it and filed out, all looking extremely pissed.
"Okay, guys. I know it looks bad..."
"Bad? Bad?!" Jen asked, pushing him back. "If you don't get the Rust Bucket back from that possum, me and Ben will show you bad!"
"I doubt it, Jenny," Kevin smirked.
"This is serious, Kevin! What happens when all of this is over and Grandpa comes home?" Ben asked, worried. "Where's he going to live then?"
"Do I have to separate you three?" Gwen asked, her hands enveloped in energy.
"Gwen, he stole Grandpa's home!" Jen said. "What kind of jerk steals an old man's home?"
"The kind that has a good reason for it," Allison said. "Right, little bro?"
"Yeah, sis. This is important," Kevin insisted.
"What's important to you isn't necessarily important to us," Becky said with a smile.
"Give me one second, guys," Kevin said as he pulled out his Plumber's badge and pressed a button, revealing the map of Bellwood from before with a blinking red dot in the center of it.
"You hid a tracking device in the undercarriage," Gwen examined. "Good one."
"Please, like I'd let anybody swipe a fortune of Plumber tech from under my nose," Kevin smiled.
"Let's go get it," Allison said as they got onto their vehicles again and drove off to find the Rust Bucket II.
The Omni-Team arrived at what looked to be an abandoned garage and Kevin pulled out his badge to check the map, confirming they were at the place.
"I'll let you take this one, bro," Allison said as Kevin kicked the door down and they all walked in, powers/weapons at the ready as Jen sent a glowing ball of pink energy out to illuminate the room.
Ben stopped everyone when the light showed the Rust Bucket II, only to find it...
"Stripped!" Kevin gasped.
"Great. So where's your fortune, Kevin?" Ben asked as Becky rolled her eyes.
She then picked up a stray piece of equipment and flicked it away.
"What's this worth, guys? $5?"
Jen frustratedly sent out an energy blast towards a pile of tires, sending them flying everywhere as everyone turned to her.
"The six of us are supposed to defend the planet from an alien invasion and we can't even keep a motor home from being stolen?!" she shouted.
"Drop it, Jenny."
Kevin then walked off, only to be stopped by the twins.
"Don't walk away from us, Kevin!" Ben shouted.
"Is this where you two turn into aliens and try to kick my butt?"
"We're seriously thinking about it," Jen growled.
They then heard the sound of a doorknob being turned as Jen extinguished her light and everyone fell into a nervous silence.
Argit walked into the room with a whistle as he went into the Rust Bucket II and pulled the core out from the Plumber tech with a smile. "I knew I'd missed something." He pocketed the core before the room was illuminated with pink light as the Omni-Team stood there with angry looks upon their faces.
Ben cracked his knuckles and Jen's hands illuminated with pink energy as Argit looked on in fear.
"You're Argit, right?" Allison asked with a smile as she knelt down to the Hedgesapien's level and smiled as she cracked her joints. "Hi. I'm Ally."
"Uh-oh," Argit said before he quickly leaped out of the boarded windows and ran for his life.
The twins sprinted off after him as they slammed the Omnitrix cores down and transforming.
Ben transformed into...
"Echo Echo!"
Jen's form stayed mostly the same but her hair turned completely pink and her clothes morphed into a white dress with a transparent skirt flowing at the end, which separated into two folds in the back. Her arms had white warmers with pink from her shoulder joint to her hands, which now sported pink nail polish. Her feet now had small pink boots with a heel on the end. The front of her dress had the shape of the Omnitrix symbol on the front and the irises of her eyes turned pink.
"Crystagirl!" she shouted as she stepped on the ground and large pink crystals formed under her and brought her onto the rooftops as Echo Echo multiplied himself into several copies.
"Don't. Let. Him. Get. Away!"
Argit skittered into the corner and stopped when he saw two Echo Echoes zoomed in and glared at him.
"No. You. Don't."
They then unleashed a sonic scream blowing Argit back into a ladder. He then started to climb up the ladder only to run into Crystagirl as she sat on the railing to the balcony and smiled, running a hand through her pink hair.
"Hi."
She grunted and stuck her hands out, a sigil appearing in front of them and several pink crystals blasted out, sending Argit crashing down into the ground and into a swarm of Echo Echoes, surrounding him on all sides.
He then shouted out and ducked as he fired out several black quills which knocked all of the Echo Echoes down, except for one that ducked down as Crystagirl leaped down from the railing as the others all came in and Becky brought out her spear with a glare as Gwen illuminated her hands in energy.
"Watch out!" Kevin shouted.
"Don't warn him!" Gwen glared.
Argit fired his quills outwards as Allison and Kevin ran forwards and tackled the two sisters out of the way of them as they stuck into the wall behind them.
"No," Kevin said to Gwen. "You watch out."
"Oh," Gwen said.
"Ugh..." Becky groaned as she fell over, asleep as the others followed her, quills sticking out of their back.
"Guys!" Crystagirl shouted as Echo Echo held her back as she gulped and put up a crystal shield generating from the air in front of her and she held her ears.
"Wall. Of. SOUND!" Echo Echo shouted as he multiplied himself again, redirecting the quills that were fired at him to each other before they bounced off Crystagirl's shield and stuck back into Argit himself as he fell to the ground, asleep.
Argit soon came to again as he looked up and saw Kevin, Allison, Gwen and Becky glaring as they stood over him. He struggled but found he was tied up. He tried firing his quills out, but he couldn't get a single one of them to shoot out to his opponents.
"We. Super. Glued. Them. To. Your. Head," Echo Echo explained as Crystagirl looked to see the several copies and nodded.
"Everybody awake?" she asked.
"Uh..." Becky pointed out one Echo Echo who was fast asleep, a quill sticking out of his butt and snoring with a digital sound like always.
"Well. Close. Enough."
The Echo Echoes then all jumped into the sleeping one, to transform back into Ben as Crystagirl timed out.
Ben groaned and stood up as Jen laid a hand on his shoulder and they all glared at Argit on the ground.
"So let's get this straight..."
"I'll give it to you straight," Argit said, turning to Kevin. "You cannot trust that man!"
"Me?"
"Do you guys know what he was gonna do?" Argit asked. "Steal your motor home and sell it to another criminal! Thank goodness I stopped him."
"By stealing it yourself!" Kevin glared.
"You ransacked the thing!" Gwen shouted.
"Yeah. You're not wrong. I may be a crook, but this guy's no good! You guys can't trust him! He'll stab you guys in the back just for laughs!"
"Thanks, Argit. I knew I could count on you."
"This creep does have a point, Kev," Jen said. "You are always up to something. Self-serving, shifty, always working some kind of angle. You've always been a thief."
"Not to mention, you tried to kill me and my brother on several occasions," Ben added.
"That was five years ago, though," Becky said.
"What does this guy mean you were going to sell it to someone else?" Allison asked.
"You know what, Tennyson? I don't have to explain myself to you guys!" Kevin shouted as he looked to Gwen and Becky. "Or you two either. I'm done with all of you."
Kevin then walked away from them.
Everyone looked on concerned as Allison walked off back to her bike and glared.
"I'm going to follow him."
"You sure? We could help you," Ben said.
"Thanks, but he's my brother. He's more my responsibility than any of yours."
"We're still going to track you down," Gwen said as Allison nodded to her friend.
A truck drove down the road and Kevin leaped off of it down into a ditch with a glare. He crawled under a chain-link fence into an airplane graveyard. Suddenly, he heard a throat clear.
"Hey, little bro."
He gasped and looked up to see his sister standing there next to her bike with her arms crossed.
"What are you doing here, Ally? I told you that I was done with you."
"Whatever it is that you're doing here, I'm helping."
"This doesn't concern you."
"Oh, come on, Kevin. We're siblings, anything that concerns you concerns me. Please. Let me help you."
"Fine," Kevin said. "I guess I can't stop you. But let me do the talking. Come on."
The Levins then walked down the path through the airplanes, not noticing as a ton of small aliens with beady yellow eyes followed them, peeking out of the planes.
Soon, the red aliens in black clothing holding silver pickaxes moved in front of the siblings, chattering like gophers as Kevin held his sister back.
"Take us to the boss."
The aliens chattered and moved forwards, leading the two to a large doorway and opened the doors to reveal a factory inside, which housed an old enemy who now wore a greyish blue suit that covered him from the neck down that also lacked spikes.
Vulkanus moved towards them as Allison froze at the sight of him.
"Vulkanus? You were dealing with Vulkanus?!" she asked. "Me and the others have gone up against this guy before. He's really bad news."
"I know. I hear you're looking for me, Vulkanus. Well here I am."
"Kevin Levin. And you brought your sister with you."
"Actually, I followed him. Surely you haven't forgotten the beat down you and Sixsix received from me and my friends five years ago."
"I don't know whether to trade with you or tear you to pieces. And yes, Allison. I remember the fight over the Element X. Just like your brother here remembers that counterfeit isotope scam a few years back."
"The what scam?"
"It's complicated. Sorry about that, man."
"You left me with the bag and at the mercy of the Plumbers! I escaped but now I'm stuck on Earth swapping Level III tech to get by thanks to you!"
"Ancient history. We're here to make a deal."
"I have the Plumber gadget you two want," Vulkanus said, standing up.
He held out the object, which looked familiar.
"Another hologram device? There must be a message on it. We've got to have it," Ally said, her eyes widening.
"What will you give me for it?"
"Look, completely straight, I had this stash of Plumber's technology, but I lost it."
"You want to owe me?!"
"Tell us what we have to do to get it!" Kevin said as Vulkanus' minions started advancing on them.
Vulkanus stuck out his hand, as if to shake hands, but because his hand was so huge that when Kevin took it, he grabbed his whole arm.
"Kneel."
"Kevin!"
Kevin groaned in pain from the grip as a machine grew from the floor, housing a large crystal that looked like it came from a Petrosapien that wrapped two appendages around Kevin's hand, slowly pulling him in and forcing him to touch the crystal.
"First, you're going to pay me back for the double cross."
The crystal started to coat Kevin's hand as the energy arced outwards, much to Allison's horror.
"I can't stop absorbing!"
"Because I don't want you to."
Four Diamonhead like spikes grew from Kevin's back as he glared at Vulkanus.
"No!"
The minions held Allison back as she tried to help her brother.
"Your brother's recursibly absorbing a piece of Taydenite. The rarest most precious gem in the entire galaxy."
Kevin's body, except for his head, was completely coated in Taydenite and the minions slid him back as crystals continued to grow from his body.
"No! Kevin!"
Two large cuffs grew from the floor and held Kevin in place.
"This is the only piece of Taydenite in this spiral of the Milky Way. Or at least, it was until you came along."
"You're garbage, Vulkanus!" Kevin shouted as the Taydenite coated his face and he continued to grow larger.
"You owe me."
Vulkanus' minions climbed on the mountain of Taydenite growing from Kevin's back.
"I'm gonna take it out of your hide, then sell you piece by piece!"
The minions then started to chip away at Kevin's body, Taydenite shards falling off of him and into the mine carts on the sides of him as Allison watched helplessly.
"And I'm gonna do it forever."
"No!"
"Do what you want to me! But leave my sister out of this and Ben and Jen Tennyson get that holo-viewer!"
"Ha!" Vulkanus flicked the hologram away towards the wall. "You're in a bad position to make demands."
"He would be," a voice said as Big Chill appeared and Lucky Girl and Huntress appeared as he looked upwards to see Kung Fang spread her wings out after hanging upside down from the ceiling before swooping downwards and unsheathing her swords.
"But he's with us," she said.
"You guys followed me?" Kevin asked.
"Well yeah," Huntress said, winking to Allison.
"That whole get mad and storm off act? Please," Big Chill said.
"You have friends?! Had friends."
Vulkanus pulled out a flamethrower and blasted Big Chill back into the wall with a shout as he hit the wall behind him, causing debris to fall down.
The minions swarmed outwards towards Lucky Girl, their pickaxes glowing bull as she sent out several energy tendrils that wrapped the aliens up and tossed them away, bringing up shields to block the swipes, that instantly shattered once they were hit.
Huntress fired several of the minions away with her arrows and combated them wit her metal spear, doing several fancy flips and kicks, sending them flying away as she shouted out in fury.
Kung Fang blocked several of the axes away with her katanas as she blew the minions away with a gust of wind from flapping her wings as she moved towards Vulkanus, who moved the debris away to find nothing where Big Chill once stood.
Big Chill phased through the wall behind him and glared before Vulkanus turned around and gave out a blast from his flamethrower, which Big Chill froze with a gust of supercold air that froze the flamethrower.
Vulkanus threw the flamethrower away and tried to punch Big Chill into the ground, only for him to go intangible, causing Vulkanus to punch through into a machine.
"Great way to break your hand," Kung Fang smirked as she flew beside him.
Vulkanus brought his hand out only to find that it was destroyed, and leaking oil, signifying he was in a cyborg body.
"Told you so."
"You guys wouldn't even be fighting if you knew what he did to me!"
"He stole. He ran. That's Kevin," Big Chill smirked.
Vulkanus sprayed some oil into Kung Fang's face as she shouted out with a glare.
"Is that really necessary? I'm already blind!"
He grabbed her wing and tossed her into her brother, causing both to slam into the metal wall and slump down, unconscious
Allison absorbed the metal ground and grabbed a pickaxe, tossing them into each other with a shout and pounded all of the aliens away with her immense strength and blocking the pickaxes with her armor.
Lucky Girl gave out several blasts of energy towards the aliens, tossing them all away and causing them to shout out before she blocked a pickaxe with an energy shield and blasted it back, sparking out and exploding causing the aliens to fly back.
Huntress flipped over another swarm of minions before she leaned back and fired her bow, hitting a pickaxe, blowing it up and creating a row of explosions that caused the aliens to fly back into a heap, all unconscious as she flipped her hair back with a smirk.
It was at that point that Kung Fang and Big Chill came to with a groan before Vulkanus picked Big Chill up with his good arm.
"I'm the injured party here! When the Plumbers came after me, they blew up my ship!"
Big Chill's green eyes widened and he grinned with a wink to his sister and he gave out a cold blast of air before he went intangible and flew into Vulkanus' armor, freezing everything as he flew in and out of the armor, freezing it from the inside out.
"What are you doing?!"
"Not fun having the cold shoulder on you, is it?" Kung Fang asked before she let out her sonic screech that gave out a cold crunch from the armor and it exploded outwards, revealing Vulkanus to be a puny Detrovite about the size of a human infant. He ran away from the group as the twins fist-bumped in victory.
"Kevin!" Gwen said as she ran forwards and shot her hands out, blowing the cuffs up with an energy blast as Allison walked over.
"You alright, little bro?" she asked.
Kevin's Taydenite body started to recede and the shards sticking out of his back melted away before he looked towards his sister with a groan as she hugged him, his clothes completely tattered from the Taydenite crystals.
The twins transformed back as they walked over to the rest of the team.
"Take it easy," Becky said as Kevin struggled to stand.
"Hey, what about Vulkanus?" Ben asked as they looked to see the small Detrovite tossing the crystals up in the air in glee as Kevin shrugged.
"What about him? We're even."
Allison walked over to the holo-viewer and placed it Jen's hand.
"That's what Kevin was after?" she asked.
"Another holo-viewer?"
"I hear that this one's special," Kevin explained.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Ben asked.
"Think about it, guys. I'm an ex-con. I've done a lot of stuff I'm not proud of. Stuff that if the five of you knew, you'd probably never trust me again. So next time I say "drop it," you guys drop it."
"That's not how it works, Kevin," Gwen insisted.
"It's not what you did that matters, little bro. It's what you're going to do."
"Uh-huh," Kevin said. "So are you guys going to look at that or what?"
Jen flicked the holo-viewer on to reveal Max again.
"Ben, Jen, if you found this message, you must be pretty deep into this mess. There's a lot I can't reveal yet but here's one thing I can: you can't go it alone. By now, you're probably meeting some of the other Plumber's kids, but you need to find more. You need to put together a team."
The holo-viewer turned off and the team looked towards each other with a nod, understanding what they had to do.
Crystagirl is an Ephedian from the LoliRock cartoon.
