Deep in the woods by Bellwood, a crater was formed, destroying a few trees and barreling a path in the ground, which led to a ship of some sort lying in the ground, smoke billowing out of it.
A black mass with green stripes leaked out of the destroyed strip before it formed into what appeared to be an infant Galvanic Mechamorph that leaped out of the crater and slithered through the woods out onto the highway.
It saw a driver trying to fix a truck with a flat tire that was pulled over on the side of the road and slithered over before leaping into the engine before merging with the truck, coating it in its liquid metal mass and pressed down the ignition and turned the wheel on its own before peeling away, sending the driver flying back before it peeled onto the highway.
"Hey! What are you doing with my-"
The driver gasped as he saw his possessed truck glared at him before driving after him, prompting him to run away screaming as it opened its engine mouth and leaped towards him.
"Give me a C! Give me an A! Give me an N! Give me an N! Give me an O! Give me an N! Give me an S! What does that spell?!" the cheerleading team said to the audience.
"CANNONS!" the audience cheered as the soccer game (minus a certain brown haired-hero who currently had business in the tennis court).
The cheerleading team, including Jen, cheered as the soccer teams tumbled over each other and kicked the ball towards the goal before a certain spiky black-haired young man kicked it into the goal, winning the game for the Cannons.
"Whoo-hoo! Go Justin!" was heard from the center as he looked towards Jen and winked at her, causing her breath to seize as she dropped her pom-poms with a gasp.
Her two friends, who were also on the team, looked towards her as the game ended.
"Jen," Simone said with a smile as she leaned in towards her. "You totally have a crush on Justin, don't you?"
"No," Jen said, waving her hands in front of her, her face completely beet red and sweating, crossing her arms in front of her throat, trying her best to deny it. "No I don't!"
"Nice try," Casey smiled. "I'd recognize that look anywhere. It's the same one that I had for Matt when he moved her."
"Yeah, but you got over him."
"True, but I think you have a chance. You're smart, nice, funny," Simone said.
"Yeah, but it's up to the guy to do the asking," Jen said as she sat on the bleachers. "What are the chances that he's going to ask me out? And if he does, what do I say? What will I wear?"
"I can see why you're not asking him out," Casey said, nudging Simone. "Our poor girl is a complete nervous wreck. This isn't like her."
"I know, right?'
"Hey, Jen," Justin said, wiping off his brow and walking over to her with a smile as she suddenly gasped and fell over off of the bleachers before standing up and rubbing her head. "How are you doing?"
"Uh... fine," Jen said, obviously sweating nervously as he knelt down in front of her as her friends stood to the side.
"Nervous?"
"Oh yeah," Jen chuckled with a nod.
"Take it easy. Breathe," he said as she took slow breaths and he laid a hand on her shoulder. "I've seen that look that girls have towards guys all the time. You like me."
"It's that obvious, huh?"
"Yeah, pretty much," Casey confirmed as Justin smiled to her.
"Well then why don't you just get it over with and ask me out?" Justin asked, raising his eyebrow with a smile.
"Because I'm a nervous wreck!" Jen said. "I've always heard that it's bad manners for the girl to ask out the guy and I-I-I was nervous that-"
"Jen," Justin interrupted to her. "Stop talking. I'd love to go out with you."
At that point, Jen finally felt her brain explode as she started stammering as she stood up.
"Th-th-that's great!" she said with a nervous twitch in her eye as he laughed. "Tonight?"
"Tonight. I'd like to see the new Fast and Furious movie with you."
"I like action movies too," she said as he smiled.
"See you tonight. Maybe we could go to the pier afterwards."
Justin left with a smile as Simone and Casey both cheered and ran in place a little as they hugged her.
"He just asked you out!"
"Technically, I asked him out," Jen said, her nerves not going away. "What am I going to do? What if it doesn't work out?"
"Just be yourself," Simone said. "Don't try to impress him. He'll like you just the way you are."
"Okay. Wait until the others hear about this," Jen said with a giggle as she went to change out of her uniform. "But I hope I don't blow it and reveal my secret to him."
"You'll be fine."
At the same time, Ben (not wearing his jacket), Gwen, and Becky were watching a tennis match in the stadium next to the soccer field, unawares as to what was going on with Jen.
They watched the ball go back and forth as Julie Yamamoto and her opponent swatted the ball over the net as her opponent hit the ball and it hit the net, giving Julie the advantage.
She then swatted the ball up and smiled and waved to Ben, who smiled back to her before he hit the ball to her opponent.
"See, she waved!" Gwen told her cousin. "She totally likes you."
"You should definitely ask Julie out, cuz," Becky smiled.
"No way," Ben said. "What if she discovers I'm Omni-Green? I don't want her to think I'm weird."
"You are weird," Gwen said. "But that's what gives you your charm. You're also funny and sensitive and well-mannered... unlike some people I know."
Kevin was fast asleep, lying down on the bleachers as His sister glared over him as he groaned outwards.
Julie then hit the final ball, which her opponent failed to hit, winning her the game as the crowd cheered for her, including our heroes, rousing Kevin up from his sleep as he gapsed.
"What-what happened?"
"Julie won," Allison said.
"Go ahead, Ben. Now's your chance, cuz," Becky said, pushing Ben down.
"Uh, I don't think that's- Hey!" Gwen secretly caught him in her telekinetic grip with no one noticing as she dragged him onto the field as the two players shook hands and he walked down, nervously.
"Hi, Ben."
"Julie, hey! You know my cousins Gwen and Becky?" he asked. "Sorry Jen couldn't be here. She couldn't miss her cheerleading gig."
"That's okay. Hey, guys," Julie said as she waved to the girls.
"Congratulations on your win. Ben," Gwen grunted out.
"Right. So... way to go! Great game... match... set... whatever," he finished, nervous as heck. "Well, see ya."
As the two turned to walk away, Becky grabbed his arm and tossed him back towards her.
"Back so soon, are we?"
"Yeah, so um, Julie... I was wondering if you'd like to, you know... get together? Sometime?"
"Sure, when?"
Ben was shocked at her answer as he stumbled back and turned to Gwen.
"She said 'when!' That's basically a 'yes' only more specific! Now what?!"
"You say 'How about tonight?'"
"Tonight?!" Ben gasped before he turned to Julie again. "I mean... we could go to the pier. Tonight."
"Great. Well, I guess I'll hit the showers."
"Good, yeah, me too. I mean, uh..."
"This is a disaster," Becky groaned before turning to Julie. "He'll pick you up around 7:00.
"Sometimes I wonder how this species survives," Gwen said as she picked up Ben and dragged him away.
Jen then walked inside as Allison was leaving.
"So, how did cheerleading go?"
"The Cannons won the game," Jen said. "Oh, yeah. And there's that slight detail that I have a date with Justin tonight!"
"Really?" Allison asked. "He asked you out?"
"No," Jen sighed. "I asked him."
"Oh," Allison said.
"What a coincidence," Ben smiled. "I just scored a date with Julie tonight too."
"Really?" Jen asked as she hugged her brother. "Oh man, I am so proud of you. But can we please not make it a double date? I think this is a disaster already."
"Don't worry. We're going to the pier tonight."
"And Justin's picking me up and taking me to the movies," Jen said."At the theater that's located on the pier."
"Oh man," Ben said. "How long is the movie?"
"Two hours," Jen said. "Man, this is going to be awkward."
"Tell me about it."
"I mean, the Omnitrix has prepared me for everything!" Jen said as she held up her wrist. "Except for talking to boys."
"You'll be fine. You're just lacking confidence," Gwen said. "I'm still waiting for Kevin to ask me out, but he's apparently afraid too."
"What about you, Becky?" Jen asked. "I know that Ally's an asexual, but what about you?"
"Haven't found that one guy yet," Becky sighed. "I'll know him when I see him, trust me."
Meanwhile, at the site of the previous night's alien attack by the overturned truck, the county sheriff was investigating what happened and radioed the station.
"Yeah, I found that stolen truck. No, no sign of whoever took it."
Little did he know, the Galvanic Mechamorph blob slithered up to the squad car and leaped up onto it, melding its body with the car as it glowed green and black.
"What do you mean he saw it drive off by itself? That just doesn't happen!"
The siren suddenly blared outwards and the sheriff looked behind him to see his car drive off in a hurry.
"Oh, fudge."
In the Tennyson residence, Jen was a nervous wreck as she was in her room, using her telekinesis to prepare her hair and get herself ready, rapidly looking through the selection of clothes that she had, trying to find something good.
"No, no, no! Justin is going to think I'm a loser tonight!" she said, putting the clothes back into the closet as she cried out and buried her hands in her face. "I'm so pathetic!"
"You think you've got it bad?" Ben asked as he walked into her room with a shout. "My hair's a mess, my shirt is wrinkled and I have a huge zit the size of Kansas!"
"Yeah that's one big zit alright," Kevin said, startling the twins out of their wits as he and his sister walked into the room with a smile.
"How'd you get in here, man?!" Jen shouted.
"The usual way," Kevin said, dissolving the armor from his arm.
"We just wanted to check on you for your date tonight," Allison said. "Oh, and you guys may want to fix up that hole in the back door before your mom sees it."
"Come on, guys? You couldn't have kncoked?!" Ben shouted.
"I sort of did," Kevin sighed.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're a strange and dangerous person, Kevin?" Jen asked.
"Every day."
"But enough about us," Allison said as she took her best friend's hands and smiled.
"Ben? Jen? What's going on?" Emma asked as she walked into her big sister's room.
"Emma," Ben said as he knelt down to her level with a smile. "Your big brother and sister are going out on their first dates tonight."
"Yay!" Emma cheered as she danced on the ground. "Jen's got a boyfriend! Ben's got a girlfriend!"
"Hey, slow down," Jen said, rustling her head. "Justin's not my boyfriend yet. We want to see how things work out tonight."
"Same thing with me and Julie," Ben sighed. "We'll see how it goes tonight."
"Oh, and Gwen told us that Ben needs a favor," Kevin said.
"Uh yeah," Ben sighed as Jen looked to her. "Justin's going to be picking Jen up for their date here, but I kinda want to go to the pier tonight... with Julie."
"I bet you do."
"And I don't have a car... or a license... I was wondering if you could give the two of us a ride, Kevin."
"Kay."
"What?" Jen asked as Kevin walked off. "That's it?"
"No jokes? No insults? No blackmail?"
"Not really," Kevin said as his sister raised an eyebrow as Jen cuddled Emma on her lap.
"Thanks," Ben said before getting his brain working. "Wait... you're gonna wait until we get in the car and then you're gonna make my life miserable in front of my date, are you?"
Kevin smirked as he absorbed the metal from the door and destroyed the knob as he closed it. "Knobs broken!"
"You think you guys are going to hit the restaurant tonight?" Allison asked. "I could get you a discount."
"Maybe," Jen said. "We're just going to see a movie tonight. I'm not sure that dinner's in the cards for me and Justin."
After Ben and Kevin left to pick up Julie, Jen wandered the front lawn worried as she fiddled her thumbs together as Carl, Sandra and Emma stood on the porch looking as she waited.
"I can't believe it," Sandra said to her husband as Emma smiled. "Both our twins are going on their first dates tonight! They're so grown up!"
"I can't either," Carl said as he nudged his wife's shoulder. "I'm so proud to call them my kids."
Jen waited before she saw a red convertible pull up with Justin in the front seat as he honked at her and she wiped the sweat from her brow as she moved forwards and walked up to him as she got into the front seat his car.
"Hey," she said as she smiled.
"Hey, Jen," Justin said as he looked to her. "You ready for this?"
"As I'm ever going to get," Jen said as the car pulled out. "I'm sorry. I'm just really nervous. I want this go well so bad."
"Well, don't we all," Justin said as they drove down towards the movie theater. "You only get one chance to make a good first impression after all."
"They do say that," Jen sighed. "I am a pretty interesting girl once you get to know me."
"I'll definitely be the judge of that," Justin chuckled.
Meanwhile, Kevin Ben and Julie to the pier with Gwen in the front seat as Kevin chuckled.
Absolute silence in the car as Kevin looked to see Ben and Julie sitting in the seat and he chuckled to himself.
"Now, remember, Benny boy," Kevin said, imitating Carl. "Your mom and I want you home at 10:00 sharp or you can't go to the disco."
"Disco?" Julie asked.
"He watches a lot of VH1 reruns," Ben sighed.
"Give him a break, Kevin. It's his first date."
"Gosh, pumpkin, what do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean! At least when Ben likes a girl, he lets her know and asks her out. But gee, this is not an honest approach."
"Ben's got a girlfriend! Ben's got a girlfriend! Jen's got a boyfriend, Jen's got a boyfriend! Ha, ha, ha!"
Ben groaned in embarrassment as Julie pat his back.
"Only Emma is allowed to say that to us," Ben groaned before turning to Julie. "Our little sister."
"Ah."
As they arrived at the pier, Ben and Julie got out, not noticing the Mechamorph possessed police car leap up behind them and sneak around as they smiled to each other.
Meanwhile, at the movie theater across the road, Justin put his car in park and the two stepped out, Jen wringing her hands nervously, a bright red blush clear on her cheeks as Justin walked up to the kiosk with a smile.
"Two for Hobbs and Shaw please," he said.
"First date?" the ticket manager asked.
"Yeah," Jen said as he printed out the tickets and handed them to Jen and Justin.
"Enjoy the show," he said as they walked in.
The Mechamorph looked on its radar as Gwen and Kevin drove off, seeing the the Plumber's badge leave and saw a green and pink badge symbol, signifying the Omnitrixes on opposite sides of the pier leave towards the theater and the park.
"Listen, uh, sorry about Kevin," Ben said as he and Julie walked to the pier.
"Why is he so mean to you anyway?"
"It just makes him happy. We used to fight a lot when we were younger."
"Well, you're nice to let him pick on you," Julie said with a chuckle as Ben blushed.
Ben then noticed a lack of patrons attending the pier that night as he looked to his date.
"Slow night. This place is usually packed on weekends."
"Good. This way, we have the place all to ourselves."
"I... guess we do."
Suddenly, Ben's Omnitrix started ringing and he looked at it as it beeped green.
"Is that a watch?"
"Yeah! I really have to get this thing fixed. Hey, you want some cotton candy?"
"Uh..."
"Good, I'll get you some!" Ben said as he ran off and covered the Omnitrix.
"Great, just what I need. Everything's going great, then this thing freaks out!"
In the theater, Jen's Omnitrix started beeping as well as she groaned outwards at her wrist, catching the attention of everyone in the kiosk as Justin turned to her.
"Everything alright, Jen?"
"Uh..." Jen began before she hurriedly stuffed her hand in her pocket and faked the ringtone of her phone. "Oops! Phone call! I gotta take it!"
She ran away into the women's bathroom as she hit her watch over and over to try to stop the beeping.
"Oh, why me? Why tonight?!"
As the twins were freaking out, the Galvanic Mechamorph blob slithered towards Ben as he sat in the corner and kept fiddling with his beeping watch. It turned its head and saw the bumper car station nearby.
It then slithered away towards the cars as Ben's Omnitrix stopped beeping and he sighed in relief.
"That's more like it."
That was when the crowd suddenly screamed and ran away as the green and black-striped bumper car leaped out of the ride with its cable sparking behind him and Ben gasped and looked upwards as he saw the possessed vehicle looming above him.
"That can't be good."
As Jen's Omnitrix stopped beeping, she heard screaming from outside and gasped as she saw the patrons running away from the bumper car as it loomed outside and she ran over to Justin as he was about to walk into the theater.
"Hey, I'm sorry to blow you off, I really am. But I really have to go to the bathroom."
"Be back before the movie starts, okay?" Justin asked as Jen gave a thumbs-up and ran away as she ducked and changed into her Omni-Suit in a hurry, bursting outside to see Omni-Green running way from the possessed bumper car as it sped after him through some garbage cans that he leapt over with a run.
She then joined her brother as he ran away as he glared at her.
"What are you doing here, sis?" he asked. "Don't you have a date to be on like me?!"
"It's going to be fine! We'll get this done and I won't miss a second of the movie! I'm just going to miss the previews!"
They then sped past the cotton candy stand as the clerk dodged away.
"Hey! Watch it!"
"Sorry!"
He then shouted and dodged as the bumper car crashed into his stand and was sent crashing through the floor on its side with a groan of pain to find that its targets were gone. It looked upwards and saw them on the eye-in-the-sky ride with the cable cars with them climbing up on the ladder as they both generated their blasters from their gauntlets and blasted out at it, sending it crashing down.
"What is this? When Carnival Rides Attack?!"
The bumper car then hitched up its cable to send out a signal that caused the Omnitrixes to beep again as Omni-Green groaned as he looked at his watch.
"Well, that's just typical."
It then reared up its wheels and smashed into the pole, sending the twins crashing down into its seat with Omni-Pink groaning from the impact and then started to drive off.
"Okay, I am not missing my date because of a stupid alien attack!" Omni-Pink shouted as she sent out an energy tendril from her hand to wrap around a cable car and grabbed her brother to get them both out of the bumper car as it reached the barrier and turned around and glared at them.
"You think he's one of Malware's lackeys?" Omni-Green asked.
"Doubt it. You destroyed him, remember?"
"Yeah, but he never seems to stay dead when we want him to," he said as he turned to the car and Omni-Pink generated a thin sheet of energy that she flapped like a blanket towards the car.
"¡Bumpo! Bumpo! Ándale! ¡Ándale!"
The car charged towards our heroes and the Omni-Twins nodded and leaped away, causing the car to crash into a garbage, finally knocked out.
The twins then deactivated the Omnitrixes and sighed.
"I hope there's a logical explanation for this. But I don't want to know what it is," Ben said as Jen hugged him.
"Gotta get back to my date. Love ya, bye!" she said as she ran off with a shout.
Neither noticed as the black and green blob de-merged with the destroyed car and slithered off as Jen rushed off back to the theater and Ben walked... right into the cotton candy salesman's path.
"Kid, you and me have a date with my insurance adjusters."
"Wait, date? AH!"
Ben quickly grabbed two sets of cotton candy and gave the change in his pocket to the clerk.
"Here's my allowance, it's all I've got!"
He ran away towards his date, who was on her phone nearby with a shout.
"And then he ran off and- wait. Here he comes now!"
"Sorry about the wait, Julie. You would not believe that line at the stand!"
"Ben. There's no one here but us."
"Except for at the concession stand where they are doing huge business!"
"I thought you'd stood me up."
"Julie, I'd never ever do that to you. It's just that my sister's on her first date tonight too and I wanted to give her some brotherly advice for it."
"Aw! That is so sweet!"
"Here, I got pink and blue. Your pick."
Julie smiled and took the pink cotton candy with a smile as Ben bit into the blue cotton candy, staining his teeth blue with a smile and a giggle from Julie.
Jen burst into the theater with a run as she sat next to Justin and took a handful of popcorn.
"Hey. The movie's about to start."
"Okay," Jen said. "Sorry. You know us girls and how long we take."
"I feel that," he said as they sighed and silenced their phones as the movie started.
Neither party noticed as at the crash site in the woods, a familiar looking alien was trapped inside the ship, which had a strong red forcefield that shocked him whenever he tried to move. He shouted out in fear from the shock, completely alone.
About 2 hours later when Jen and Justin walked out of the theater talking about the movie.
"What a movie!" Justin said as his date smiled. "Although nothing like that would happen in real life ever."
"I don't know," Jen said nervously with a blush clear on her cheeks. "I've seen some pretty crazy stuff in my life."
They both walked onto the pier as Ben and Julie walked up and saw a fighter jet ride that moved and rocked with the motor.
"This looks fun," Julie said.
"Yeah, especially if you don't mind wrenching G-forces and waves of nausea," Ben said, not noticing the Galvanic Mechamorph blob from before leap up to it and merge with the motor as the two inside the jet got down, woozy.
"So you don't want to ride it?"
"No, I'm saying that it's a good thing I didn't get us the cheeseburgers."
Ben then looked up and noticed that the jet was turning green and black... just like the bumper car from before.
"Uh-oh," Ben said as Jen and Justin walked up with a sigh and Jen noticed the jet turning black and green again.
"Oh man."
"You okay, Jen?"
"Me? No! I'm fine! I'm just exhilarated after the movie," Jen chuckled nervously with an eye twitch and Justin saw Ben and Julie by the ride.
"Is it your brother?"
"No! It's just awkward that we're both on our first dates tonight and we're both on this pier! Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
"Okay..." Justin said.
"Ben, are you hiding something?" Julie asked.
"What? No! No secrets here!" Ben lied. "My life's an open book! I'm just your basic regular guy! ...Oh, here we go again."
They looked to see the safety bars break off of the ride and the green jet glare down at the twins and their dates as they glanced to each other with a nod.
"Hang on!" Jen said as she took her date's hand hand as did her brother and led them both away as the possessed jet stabbed its wing down and tried to fly after them, only to be restrained by the remaining safety bar.
The twins led Julie and Justin to a storage closet and opened it up to lead them inside while they stayed outside.
"You two stay in here for a bit. You'll be safe," Ben said.
"What are you two going to do?" Justin asked.
"Uh... we're going to call some old friends for help!" Jen said, not completely lying as her brother closed the door on their confused dates as they activated their Omnitrixes that were beeping again and they adjusted it so the holograms showed two flying aliens.
"This looks like a job for Jetray and AeroForce," Ben said as he and his sister prepared to slam the cores down, but that was when the jet suddenly broke free from the bar and blasted off after them, causing them to stumble a bit from the vibration on the pier and the watches adjusted one more click and they slammed down the cores, turning into two different alien forms.
Ben was an orange crab-like appearance. He has pincers for hands and six crustacean legs that he and folds on the top of his head that he could open to reveal his brain. He also had a silver piece of clothing around his body that held the Omnitrix symbol on it.
Jen was an alien that had grey skin with a short red mohawk for hair on her head and pointed elf-like ears with the left one clearly chipped and had skull earrings dangling from them. She had on a pink shirt with sweetheart neckline, a sleeveless black leather studded vest, hot pink leggings with a black and hot pink skirt with two silver chains dangling from the sides, two black spiked wristbands around her wrists, and heavy combat boots with spikes around the ankles. The Omnitrix symbol was on her chest and she stuck out her hand and a red guitar with a pink hourglass symbol on the front appeared and she played a rocking power chord as the transformation ended.
Ben looked at himself and groaned.
"Ugh. I am not Jetray. I'm a seafood platter," he said. "Hmm. And apparently one possessed of a highly advanced intellect. Ergo, perhaps I should assign this new life form a more... apropos nom de guerre. What say... BRAINSTORM!"
"Nice new alien, bro," Jen said, her new form possessing a cheeky British accent. "But check this lady out. Now for a name for me. How about... Rockette!"
The jet flew upwards and spied down on the twins, scanning them before flying down and Rockette smiled before she leaped upwards and spun her guitar pick in her hand before she struck the chord and sent a shockwave outwards that sent the jet flying away as she landed next to Brainstorm with a smile.
Brainstorm glared as he opened his shell folds to reveal his brain, sparking outwards.
"Now I am most decidedly miffed."
He then sent out sparks of green lightning outwards that the jet dodged as it glared at the twins.
"What the deuce?"
It then sent out green beams that blasted downwards, only for Brainstorm to stop with a shield generating as Rockette swatted them away with her guitar as she glared at it.
"I can't get no satisfaction," she mused as she aimed carefully as a beam hit her guitar and she shouted out as she played another power chord that sent the beam back towards the jet, doubling its strength, sending it flying backwards again as Julie and Justin walked out of the closet only for Brainstorm to gasp and catch them in his telekinetic grip from his brain as he moved them out of the way.
Afterwards, Rockette backflipped and adjusted the knob of her guitar towards a flaming skull icon icon that she blasted outwards, sending a huge flaming skull that hit the jet as it saw the twins dates with a glare just as Brainstorm blasted out an electric blast towards Rockette's guitar, strengthening it as she blasted back at it with a power chord, sending it crashing downwards into the spinning octopus ride, sending them both crashing over the edge of the pier.
The two walked over to the edge with a smirk as Rockette clutched her guitar with a smile.
"Eat your heart out, Luna Loud."
They both ran away into the porta-potties and transformed back, unseen as they looked out and ran towards their dates as they smiled.
"Hey, did we miss anything?" Ben asked as Jen chuckled nervously.
"What? You guys didn't see that?" Julie asked, shocked.
"Oh, you mean that jet attack?" Jen asked. "Oh yeah, we called in the Omni-Twins. They always seem to know what's going on and where to be."
"Yeah," Justin said. "This town is really lucky to have them, aren't we."
"You said it," Julie said with a sigh before gasping and touching Ben's shoulder. "Uh... guys."
They looked upwards and saw the ride that crashed into the pier grow legs and move upwards as it burst out of the ocean and glare as it scooped up Julie and Justin into two of the seats attached to its arms and then walked off.
"Julie!" Ben shouted.
"Justin!" Jen shouted in horror.
Julie pulled out her phone and tried to dial a number, only for a jolt to happen, sending her phone crashing down and smashed on the pier.
"Guys!" Julie shouted as they avoided the smashing of the seats on the pier as Jen gulped, not wanting to reveal her secret.
The ride then smashed a hole in the ground, sending the twins dangling from the wood as it walked off, their dates in tow.
"Jen! Help us!" Justin shouted.
"Julie! Justin! No!" Jen shouted as they saw the ride walk off.
"Okay, this is officially not how I wanted my first date to go, sis," Ben said, looking at his Omnitrix.
"Me either."
It was about that point where the wood broke and they activated their Omni-Suits as Jen created a mana platform beneath her feet and they both slammed the cores down to transform into Jetray and Kung Fang to fly off towards the ride carrying their dates.
"None of this makes any sense, sis," Jetray said. "Why are we being attacked by carnival rides tonight of all nights?"
"Yeah," Kung Fang said, flapping her leathery wings before she fired out her supersonic bat sonar to let her know where everything was. "And why would they take Justin and Julie?"
"Maybe it's using them as bait for us to follow it?"
"Good point."
The ride stepped onto the highway with its spider-like legs as it moved forwards as Julie and Justin groaned as their seats swung from the motion.
"I'd say that this is the worst date I've ever been on except for the fact that it's actually my first," Julie sighed, bored.
"I don't know what this thing wants, but I want no part of it," Justin sighed. "But I guess I don't have a choice."
Jetray and Kung Fang examined the ride as they flew overhead as Jetray groaned.
"I can't risk hitting it with a neuroshock. I might hit Justin or Julie."
"So we'll have to try the indirect approach," Kung Fang said as the two swooped downwards with a shot, her fingers grazing her swords.
Jetray swooped in front of the ride and fired his neuroblasts from his eyes and tail to loosen the streetlights before Kung Fang shouted out as she sliced them down from their foundation causing them to crash down on one arm.
The ride struggled with its arm pinned down before it broke free and sent the seat hurtling towards Jetray, crashing into him and sending him hurtling into the trees.
Kung Fang gasped and flew over to her brother and helped him up. When they looked up, they saw that the possessed ride was gone from the street.
They both flew upwards to investigate as Kung Fang's extremely sensitive bat ears suddenly perked up at the sound of shouting from the woods.
"Let us go!" Justin shouted. "Let us go!"
"Bingo," Kung Fang smirked as she and her brother flew in towards the woods and they both saw the ride standing there with its arms downwards.
"What did you do with Julie and Justin?!" Jetray growled.
"We're here," Julie said as she walked out from behind the monster with Justin looking nervously.
"And... how did you know our names?" Justin asked as the twins looked nervously at each other and touched down.
"Promise us that you won't freak out," Jetray said as they both groaned and bowed down as they timed out to reveal themselves as they removed their helmets as Jen shook out her hair with a groan. "It's us."
"Jen?!" Justin asked, shaken as he saw his date run her hand through her hair nervously. "What's going on here?! Why are you dressed as Omni-Pink?"
"Because I am Omni-Pink!" Jen shouted to him. "Did you not see what I just did there and the attacks that happened on the pier tonight? That was all me and my brother!"
"So all those times you left or were extremely nervous was..."
"Because I was worried that you would find out! A superhero's job is never done, after all."
"Wow," Justin said, stunned. "That is just... awesome!"
"Really?" Jen asked, stunned at his exclamation. "You're not freaked out about me having superpowers?"
"Are you kidding me? My date's a superhero, how could I be freaked out!?" Justin asked. "You have no idea how many guys wish that they could have a girlfriend like you."
"You sure?"
"Of course," Justin smiled. "I don't want to date some prim and perfect girl. I want a girlfriend who's nice, looks great and can snap a bone when she needs to."
"So this is why you two have been running off all night," Julie said to Ben as she jabbed his shoulder. "I honestly can't say that I'm surprised. I kind of had a feeling that it was something important."
"Yep," Ben said nervously, running his hand through his hair. "I'm Omni-Green. Me and my sister have been the heroes of Bellwood all along."
"That is so cool!" Julie said with a smile.
"Cool? Really?"
"Sure. I've always admired superheroes."
The two sets of dates looked upwards and saw the ride beep out green and lean downwards to them, as if trying to communicate.
"Excuse us, we're trying to speak here!" Jen shouted.
"Uh, guys?" Justin said. "I think it's trying to speak to you two."
The ride leaned downwards and pointed its arm towards the ship crash lying in the center of the woods.
"Ship... ship..."
"Ship?" Ben asked. "Oh, you brought us out here to find that spaceship."
"Then why did that thing bring us here?" Julie asked.
"It's the oldest trick in the book, Justin," Jen said. "Bait. It knew that we would go after you two, so it brought you here so that we could find the ship."
The Galvanic Mechamorph blob demorphed from the ride, causing it to slump down as the team moved towards the ship and the Omnitrixes started to beep out again. They looked inside the red forcefield to see the adult Mechamorph as Ben gasped.
"Oh my God," he said. "We've seen one of those thing before."
"You have?" Justin asked.
"Kind of," Ben said. "They're called Galvanic Mechamorphs. I used to be able to turn into one of those things before. Called myself Upgrade."
"Oh, and one of our worst enemies ever was one of these things," Jen recalled. "A mutant called Malware. He came so close to killing us so many times."
"Don't remind me."
The Mechamorph shouted out in pain from the lightning as Julie looked.
"Well, whatever it is, it's hurt."
Justin and Julie stepped in front, only for the twins to stop them.
"If this energy field is doing that to a powerful alien like that, imagine what it could do to you two as regular humans. You'll be fried like an egg," Ben said.
Julie looked upwards to see the alien writing on the computer as she looked confused. "What does that say?"
"Sorry, we don't read alien," Jen shrugged. That was when she looked down to see the Mechamorph blob from before start to snuggle up on her leg and she kneeled down to its level. "You're what's behind this thing?"
"Ship?"
"Okay... Ship," Ben said to the newly dubbed creature, who shaped its body to look like the ship and then exploded before reforming.
"Okay, now I know that thing is trying to tell you something," Justin said.
Jen squinted at the beeping counter and her eyes widened. "Oh man."
"It's a countdown!" Ben said. "The ship's going to explode!"
The Omni-Twins then regenerated their helmets as they slammed down the cores and transformed into...
"Humungousaur!"
"Titanosaurus!"
They both ran forwards and, thanks to their extreme durability, managed to walk through the energy field as Humungousaur ripped out the unstable generator that was sparking out red lightning before tossing it to his sister, who used her mace-spiked tail to swat it to the sky, where it exploded in a sonic pulse before they both covered their dates to shield them for a few seconds as the sound rang out.
"Um, guys? The explosion's over," Julie said as the twins realized what they were doing.
"Um... sorry," Titanosaurus chuckled before they walked into the ship and cleared the debris from the adult Mechamorph as they transformed back.
"There you go," Humungousaur said as the Mechamorph got up.
"Yes. Now, as I was saying before I lost consciousness, I extruded this symbiote, the one you call Ship."
As he said this, Ship panted like a dog in front of what was apparently his father of sorts.
"Ship!"
"Yes, thank you. And I sent it off to find the nearest Plumber."
"Because your sink was clogged?" Justin asked.
"Uh, no," Jen said. "Plumbers are an intergalactic police force."
"You mean like the Men in Black?" Julie asked the group.
"Kind of. We'll explain in the car."
"And that's why you came after us?" Ben asked.
"Of course. Didn't you receive his distress signal?"
"Wait, distress signal?" Jen asked. "That's what that beeping was all night?"
"Yes. That beeping... Don't you know how that works?"
"Um, not necessarily, no," Ben admitted.
"Really? Aren't you two Plumbers?"
"Actually, our grandfather, may he rest in peace, was one. We're just the twins with the Omntrixes," Jen said. "We thought you were a Plumber actually."
"Ugh, I've spent most of my life here. Look, is there anyone else I can talk with?"
"Not really," Ben said.
"Duh!" Julie realized. "That's why Ship was trying to get your attention."
"Get our attention?" Jen asked. "He wrecked the entire pier! And our dates!"
"He kidnapped you guys," Ben said. "Don't you think that's a bit excessive?
"Well, I did need help."
"Yeah, that's kind of obvious," Justin admitted.
"And you wonder why most aliens only communicate with your livestock. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to repair my warp drive."
"Come on, guys," Julie said. "Be nice to the guy."
"Is there anything we can do to help, dude?" Justin asked.
"Well... I suppose. Very well."
Outside, Ben and Julie adjusted the antenna into the ship as it reattached itself.
"There. Now it's on tight," Julie smiled to Ben.
"So," Jen said as she brushed her hair with a nervous glance to Justin. "I guess this is the worst date you've ever had, huh?"
"No, not the worst," Justin said, jabbing her arm. "Just different. And just because you and your brother are different, that doesn't make you freaks."
"He's right you know," Julie said to Ben as she touched his hand. "I really like you. You're smart, funny, well-mannered. What's not to like?"
"Thanks, Julie," Ben said as they smiled to each other.
"Right, well, all done," the Mechamorph said as he prepared to take off. "Off I go."
"What about Ship?" Jen asked as the Mechamorph spawn sat on Julie's lap. "Doesn't he, I don't know, blorp back into your body or something?"
"Ugh, 'blorp.' That's not how it works. Besides, you guys and he have had such a lovely bonding experience. He's yours now."
And with that, the ship rose up into the air and blasted off into the far reaches of space, leaving the kids on the cliff as Ship nuzzled against Ben's leg as Julie smiled.
"He's cute. Are you guys gonna keep him?"
"I was thinking that you could keep him, actually," Ben said, handing the alien to Julie. "We just got a new puppy about two months ago and we can't let our parents see an alien in the house."
"Thanks, guys," Julie said with a smile as Justin jabbed Jen's shoulder as they began walking back home onto the pier.
As the two groups walked down the highway watching the rising sun, Julie groaned as she dusted off her skirt.
"Okay, I'll admit. This part of the date, I'm not enjoying."
"Yeah," Ben said as his sister adjusted her watch.
"Sorry we can't fly us home, guys," Jen said. "After so many quick changes, the Omnitrixes shut down to recharge."
"Yeah, well it doesn't matter," Justin chuckled. "The four of us are all going to be grounded for a month after being out so late."
"Story of our lives," Ben chuckled as Ship snuggled by Julie's leg and he motioned to her as he took her hand as they started walking down the highway again, leaving Jen and Justin alone as they walked towards the pier toward's Justin's car.
"So," Justin said as Jen sighed. "You want to go out again next month? You know, after we're off being grounded?"
"You know what?" Jen asked, a blush clean on her cheeks. "I'd like that. I'd like that a lot."
"Cool," Justin said as she got into the car and buckled up. "See you next month, Jen."
"Great."
That was when the car pulled out of the pier towards the house.
