It was late at night when the farmer's market was going on in Bellwood and the markets were selling out their fruits, vegetables and farm-raised proteins to their consumers and three figures stood on top of an adjacent rooftop that were watching what was going on and they looked to each other.

There were two boys and a girl on the rooftop as they looked to each other and nodded. They were all around 15 years old and they all had the same fair skin and brilliant blue eyes as they looked on.

The first boy had golden blonde spiky hair and wore an unzipped vest over a short-sleeved red shirt with a logo of the sun on it, spiked bracelets, red sneakers and yellow shorts on.

The second boy had black hair with a single bang covering his eyes and he wore a long sleeved jacket over a black shirt, black pants and black sneakers with spikes around the ankles.

Finally, the girl had platinum blonde hair tied into a braided ponytail and had a sleeveless black dress and skirt with white sparkles on it to signify the night sky and she had white shoes on as well as a necklace with a half-moon symbol.

The girl's stomach growled loudly as she groaned and bowed her head.

"Can we please hurry this up, Wade?" she asked to the blonde, rubbing her stomach. "I need something to eat quick."

"And we'll get it, Lila," he said, laying a hand on her shoulder. "We just have to do it without getting caught by the store owners."

"We don't have any money, so we need to use our powers to get the goods," the black-haired boy said, rubbing his hands together.

"Exactly, Nate," Wade said, looking down on the supermarket. "Okay. Here's the plan."

The triplets whispered to each other before they saw the market close up and the customers left.

"Okay, now," Lila said as Nate thrust out his hand and all of the lights suddenly went black, bathing the marketplace in darkness, causing confusion amongst the shopkeepers.

Three shadowy figures engulfed as they each grabbed two large bag and ducked through the shadows like ninjas, picking up a few of each item that they would need, engulfed in the darkness as Lila's eyes glowed white and the lights came on and she generated a dagger made of solidified moonlight, sticking into the wall behind a market as they all looked to see it cool down on the wall.

Wade then shot his arms out and his entire body glowed with a massive golden light, temporarily blinding everyone there before it died down.

When they looked up, the triplets were gone as one shopkeeper slammed his hand on the counter.

"The Light Triplets strike again."

The next morning, Allison, dressed in her black short-sleeved chef's outfit, parked her motorcycle outside of the restaurant she worked at, Stratton's Ale House and entered the backdoor, tying her apron in place on her back as she met her fellow employees.

"Okay, people, let's get the show on the road," she said as she went to the pantry and yawned, picking up her ingredients before she noticed the severe lack of stock in the restaurant.

The manager of the restaurant, Jason walked in as she sighed.

"Hey, Jason?" she asked as she started chopping up her aromatics. "I thought that delivery day was last night. There's still very few stuff that came in."

"Wish there were something I could do, Ally," he said, looking at her ingredients. "The Light Triplets, at least that's what the people in the city are calling them, struck again last night."

"The Light Triplets, eh?"

"Yeah. Every week, the three of them strike the supermarkets or the best stuff that provides food and goods and take what they want. They're wanted for what they do, but maybe they're just doing it for their own survival. I don't know if they have any parents or guardians to watch over them, but it's really affecting the restaurants in town in terms of supply."

"Huh," Allison said, feeling at her pocket with the Plumber's badge before shaking her head and getting back to work, chopping up the onions, celery and carrots, deep in thought about the three.

In an abandoned warehouse that was converted into a makeshift apartment, the Light Triplets sat down at a small table, eating the stew that Lila had made and sighing.

"There's no way that Dad would've wanted us to live like this," Nate stated as Wade sighed.

"I know," he said, feeling at the Plumber's badge in his pocket as he looked to his brother and sister. "But if we get aught, we go right back into the hands of S.E.C.T. I am not being a prisoner that's waiting to be dissected. And I know that neither of you do, either."

"You're right, bro," Lila said, stirring her stew in her bowl as she looked to her brothers and sighed before she generated a moon dagger in her hand as she twirled it around. "But even so, I heard that the Omni-Team's home base is here in Bellwood. Word must be getting out on us and they're probably out hungry for us. If we don't want to get caught by them, we need to be smarter."

"Lila, the Omni-Twins can turn into who knows how many alien creatures with those watches of theirs. If they get us, we're doomed," Wade said. "We're probably going to be sent to Area 51 for sure."

"That will never happen," Nate said, slamming his fist down. "They're not going to get us. we can take them."

"You know what, Nate? You're right... I hope."

The team met at the Levin's apartment as Jen sighed in wonder as she flipped her hair back and smiled to herself as she smiled and laid on the couch dreamily as Gwen and Becky smiled at her.

"Yep, third date this month," Jen said to her. "I'd say that we're officially boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Same thing with me and Julie," Ben said as he sat down on the chair opposite the couch. "She's so awesome, guys. She's smart, funny, and just an all around great girl to be around."

"That's wonderful, guys," Becky said with a smile. "But I'm sure that Ally called us in here for a reason."

"That's right," Allison said as she and Kevin walked into the room and sat down. "I've got some news on some new Osmosians that just popped up in Bellwood a few weeks ago."

"Really?" Gwen asked, ringing her hands in front of her chin.

"Triplets," Kevin reported. "They appear to have powers over different kinds of light. One has solar powers, one has lunar powers and the third has powers over darkness or eclipses."

"That sounds awesome," Ben said as Jen nodded from the couch. "Imagine those guys on our team."

"Yeah, I don't know that's what they want," Allison said with a sigh. "They seem to be scared from what I've heard. They're using their powers to steal groceries and the like so they can survive."

"They're obviously Plumber's Kids," Jen said with a start. "I hope that we can get through to them."

"The Highbreed is going to be coming back full force soon, guys," Gwen said.

"And as such, we need all the help we can get," Becky said. "I think we're going to go after them."

"You're right as usual, Becky," Kevin smirked. "But I'm pretty sure that they're going to turn and run as soon as they see us. They're obviously scared of their abilities. How are we supposed to get through to these guys if we can't get near them?"

"We're going to find a way, guys," Ben said as he stood up. "We always do."

"It's patrol time," Jen said as they moved out to Kevin's car.

"We've got our work cut out for us," Allison said as she took her keys and moved to her motorcycle.

That night, Wade, Lila and Nate stood on top of the rooftops overlooking the skyline near a Mr. Smoothie's as they smiled.

"Are you sure about this?" Lila asked nervously as Wade nodded to his sister.

"I don't see the pair of you getting any ideas on how to get food. This is all about survival. We can't trust anybody. It's just us. Otherwise, that Steele creep is going to lock us up again and make sure that we'll never get out this time."

"Yeah, but you know that the Omni-Team has got to be on searching for us now. No way that they're going to let up on us now that they know about our little robberies that have been going on."

They didn't recognize it, but the badge in Wade's pocket began beeping out, sending out a signal to the nearest badges.

Kevin and Allison moved forwards in their vehicles as Huntress saw the grid map on the hologram that she had taken from Mike in the backseat as the Levins drove forwards.

"Take a left," Becky said as she examined the grid and the two drove sideways and Jen moved in her seat.

"Are you sure that we have to fight these guys?" Jen asked. "They don't seem to be bad. They're just innocent, scared little kids."

"Yes, I'm sure that we have to fight them, sis," Ben said, jabbing her arm lovingly. "There's no other way that we're going to get through to them unless we capture them and have them talk to us through what's happened to them."

"Let's hope that you're right," Kevin said as Becky's badge stopped beeping and they saw they were directly under their target building as both teams parked underneath it before suiting up as Matter Girl nodded with a smile as Lucky Girl and Omni-Pink created energy platforms beneath their feet and they walked upwards to the rooftop to see the three figures above and as they were about to make their move, Matter Girl looked and nodded.

"Hey!" she shouted.

The Light Triplets looked behind them to see Bellwood's superhero team behind them as Lila gasped.

"Oh crap! It's the Omni-Team! They're gonna send us back to S.E.C.T.!"

"What are you talking about?" Omni-Green asked. "We just want to talk to you."

"Forget it! You're just like Lt. Steele! You'll never get us!" Wade shouted.

"No," Matter Girl said. "I've been where you are, guys. I know what it's like to be on your own. I just want to help you."

"Like hell!" Nate shouted as he shot out his hands to the sky and the all the light seemed to drain out of the night sky, coating them in total darkness.

"Oh, that's not good," Kevin said as he dodged a few flaming punches from Wade as he shouted out in fury as Omni-Green slammed the core down and transformed into...

"Big Chill!" he shouted and flew towards Wade and gave out a cold breath before Wade blasted some flames towards him that hit the air and created a firm mist around them, obscuring their vision even more as Lucky Girl ran forwards and created a light made of pink energy that illuminated the rooftop as Omni-Pink smiled.

"Try to obscure our vision, eh?" she asked, dialing in her Omnitrix. "Then let's give you someone who's vision isn't really a problem either way."

She then shouted out and slammed her core down and transformed into...

"Kung Fang!" she shouted before grabbing her katanas and flying forwards, clashing with Lila who created two daggers made out of solid moonlight and ran forwards and engaged her, clashing weapons with a shout as Kung Fang ducked and dodged before giving a kick to her chest, knocking her back as Nate flew at her and gripped her wing with what seemed to be a shadow arm before he found his shirt was snagged with an arrow as Huntress stood by with a shout of effort to him.

"Look, we don't want any trouble, you three," she said with a glare. "We just want to talk."

"You'll never get us!" Lila shouted before she rushed in and slammed Huntress back with a kick before blasting out two beams of moonlight at her, knocking her back to the edge of the rooftop as Kevin ran in, absorbing the rocky material from the rooftop and ran in towards the triplets with a shout before Wade shot out and gave out a bright light from his entire body, blinding the group, except of course for the blind Kung Fang who rushed in with a shout before she gave out her sonic screech, sending Nate to the edge of the rooftop as Big Chill flew in and froze Lila up to her neck in ice, causing her to shiver in fear and concern.

"W-W-Wade. A l-l-little h-h-help!" she shivered as Wade ran in with a shout and used the heat from his hands to melt the ice, his shivering sister falling down into his arms, her face blue from the cold as Nate moved towards him as Kung Fang shouted out and ran forwards before some shadowy tendrils shot around her wings, arms and legs and pulled her down to the ground, helpless as she glared as Wade glared towards the group.

Wade then blasted out to Matter Girl and Lucky Girl with a strong blast of fire that knocked them back towards Huntress with a groan of effort.

"Stay away from us!" he warned before he opened his jacket and let loose a brilliant golden light from his entire body, blinding the group again and when their eyes adjusted when it faded, the triplets were gone.

"Dang it!" Matter Girl said, slamming her fist down on the ground. "They got away!"

"Yeah, sis. We can clearly see that," Kevin said, groaning as the Omnitrixes timed out.

"How are we supposed to get through to these guys if we can't get near them?" Jen asked with a sigh.

"They can't lose us for long," Becky said as she took out her badge. "That's why we have this."

They then activated the badge and showed an image of the Plumber badge beeping out on the map towards them.

"Let's go find them properly this time," Ben said with a nod as they all leaped off of the roof towards the vehicles and Allison glared, the most determined of all, evidently from the look on her face.

As the triplets made their way back to their hideout in the old warehouse, Wade groaned out as he laid his sister on the bed and groaned outwards.

"Dang it! Now I know for a fact that the Omni-Team is after us for sure!"

"Maybe they are, but maybe it's not for why you think, bro," Nate said from his seat. "They clearly only attacked us after we attacked them."

"I think he's got a point," Lila said, still a bit cold and Wade used his powers to light a candle by her to warm her up. "Maybe they just want to talk to us about the things they can do."

"But we've been stealing supplies from all over Bellwood. Sure, it was for our survival, but they don't know that," Wade argued. "It's possible that the six of them think that we're criminals and want to bring us to justice themselves. Or worse!"

"They're the Omni-Team, bro. They're the most famous heroes Bellwood ever had," Nate said. "They wouldn't do that if they didn't think that we were doing this for a reason. Maybe we should talk to them and tell us our whole situation or something, they clearly want to listen to us."

"No one's ever wanted to listen to us before," Lila said, now fully warmed up as she sat up on her bed.

"Okay. I'll try to do things your way. But it's not like they're going to find us anyway, so what dos it matter?"

Little did Wade know, the badge in his pocket was still beeping green, sending out its signal to the surrounding area.

Kevin drove his car as Becky took the record of the signal being broadcasted to them, giving away the triplet's location as she sighed as Kevin drove forwards as he saw his sister driving her motorcycle right there beside him, headphones blaring in her ears as she looked on worriedly at them.

"Is she alright?" Becky asked as Kevin nodded

"She's fine, don't worry," he said to them. "She's just worried about the triplets?"

"Why?" Ben asked. "They literally tried to kill us like thirty minutes ago."

"Because she identifies with them," Jen said. "Remember that she and Kevin were actually homeless in New York when we met them. They know what it's like to have nothing and the world against you."

"Exactly," Gwen realized. "She wants to make sure that those three get what they need as soon as possible and the only way she can do that is to get through to them and explain their story."

"They think that we want to hurt them, guys? Remember? And they're more than capable of beating the crap out of us again, as I'm sure you guys are very well aware," Ben said as he prepared himself as Becky examined her badge as it beeped out a confirmation.

"We're here," she said. "Everybody out."

Everyone filed out of Kevin's car and Allison shifted her bike into park as she took her helmet off, laid it on the seat and then everyone nodded to each other outside of the door.

"Now remember what we agreed on, right?" Jen asked.

"We try it your way first," Ben agreed. "We try to reason with them first. They're not bad people."

"That being said," Gwen said with a shrug. "You know what happens if they attack us first, right?"

"Of course," Kevin said, bashing his hand into his fist.

"We go strong, we go bold, we go big," Allison said. "We're going to make them see reason even if we have to force it out of them."

"Absolutely," Becky said as Jen nodded.

"Let's hero up."

The team minus Kevin pressed their watches and transformed into their alter egos as Jen walked up to the door and lightly tapped it with her knuckle.

"Oh crap, it's the fuzz!" Wade shouted from inside and the triplets all immediately panicked as they stood at attention.

"We're only 13!" Nate said.

"I'll never survive in Area 51! They'll mop the floor with me!" Lila shouted in panic as Wade walked up to her and gave out a fire fist to her.

"We are not going to prison, you two! Now get a grip and let's show these guys what happens when you decide to mess with the Light Triplets."

"Pretty please, it is," Kevin said to himself as he absorbed the concrete from the wall and slammed the door in and was immediately pelted with moonlight daggers that caused him to stumble into his sister's arms as Omni-Pink glared and transformed into...

"Firefox!"

While her brother transformed into...

"Humungousaur!"

Wade ran out of their hideout and slammed him with tons of solar rays from his hands, which barely did anything to the alien's thick exterior as he slammed him back with his tail into the wall as Lila came out with a shout as she fired moon beams from her hands into Huntress, which she dodged before taking out her spear and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with her as she shouted out in fear at the young woman in front of her who nailed her with a kick as Lucky Girl appeared several energy tendrils from her hands that wrapped her up in her powerful grip as she shouted out in fear.

"Nate! Help me!" she said.

The youngest triplet then shouted out before he stuck out his hands and dark shadowy tendrils that wrapped themselves tightly around the two sisters and they shouted out in fear at that as Lucky Girl fired out energy rays from her eyes that sliced into the tendrils, tearing them up as Firefox ran towards him on all fours and slammed him in the chest with her powerful tail, causing him to slide back and growl at her, sending shadow blasts to her that she blasted away with fireballs towards him.

"Sorry, young bloke," she said in her cheeky Aussie accent. "But you're playing our game now."

Lila shouted out as she created a blade made out of solidified moonlight that she used and ran up to Humungousaur as he countered with two hits from his large fists that she dodged backwards before she and her brother created a dual solar and lunar shot outwards that blasted into him, sending him flying back as he groaned outwards in pain.

Kevin ran forwards and grabbed Wade's hand before he absorbed the ground material and tossed him to Matter Girl as she smiled to him as she glared.

"We're trying to reason with you guys, kid," she said sternly.

"Let go of me, you jerk!" Wade shouted before delivering a flaming kick to the young adult's stomach, causing her to slide back and let go of him as he and Firefox delivered a dual blast of flames to each other, colliding in a blast of fire that knocked everybody back and caused them to shield their eyes from the impact... just as Firefox rushed up and then hit him with his tail into Nate as he blasted out a shadowy blast that knocked Huntress away just as she fired an arrow at him that snagged his jacket into the building as Lucky Girl grabbed Lila again as she glared outwards.

"Now, if we can have your attention, guys..." she said as the kids whimpered in fear.

"Please don't hurt us!" Lila shouted in fear as she backed into the wall.

"We never wanted to steal that stuff! We were just trying to survive!" Nate asked as Sade stepped up to the twins as they transformed back and he got onto his knees and practically groveled at their feet.

"Please don't hurt them, Omni-Twins!" he begged. "I'm the oldest. I was the ring leader of stealing so we could get by! Do what you want with me, but don't hurt them!"

"We don't want to hurt you guys," Omni-Green said as he and his sister degenerated their helmets and stood before the triplets.

"Huh?" Nate and Lila asked in unison.

"We never did. We just wanted to help you guys and we wanted information."

"But you clearly attacked us," Wade asked, confused.

"Um, yeah. We only did that after you attacked us," Matter Girl said, taking off her mask. "It's called self-defense."

"Oh..." Lila said with a slight nervous chuckle. "Sorry about that."

"No bigs," Becky said.

"Come on," Jen said. "Let's go inside and you tell us all about what's going on."

"Okay, where do we start?" Wade asked himself with a sigh. "We're the Light triplets. Hi, I'm Wade, the oldest and I have powers over solar energy and the sun."

"Lila. The middle child and my powers are over the moon and lunar energy."

"And I'm Nate. My powers are over eclipses and darkness," Nate said as the team, in their civilian forms, sat opposite them on various ends of the makeshift apartment.

"Triplets, eh?" Ben asked with a smile.

"Yeah. We're kind of inseparable," Lila said.

"Same with me and my bro here," Jen said. "Ever since we were born."

"We were pretty much human for a while," Wade said with a sigh. "Or so we thought, until this... thing happened to us one night and we could control various states of light or dark energy for each of us. It was enough to freak our dad out and he told us we weren't just human."

"We were actually a subspecies of human called..." Nate began.

"Osmosians," Kevin finished from leaning against the wall. "So are Ally and I."

"As you said, we're a subspecies of human that have a unique genetic component in our DNA that can give us various extraordinary abilities," Allison said. "Our power is absorption. Yours are obviously solar, lunar and eclipse powers."

"He took us out back at least twice a week to practice our powers starting from when we were 11. We got good, really goo," Lila said. "Well, we were until those slimeballs at S.A.C.T. showed up and took us away. We thought they were going to dissect us or something."

"S.A.C.T.?" Gwen began. "Special Alien Containment Team?"

"Led by Lieutenant Steele," Wade confirmed. "We managed to use our quick wits and our powers to escape from the truck and made our way to Bellwood. So we did what we had to do to survive."

"You stole," Becky said. "I relate. I had to kill several aliens in the Null Void for food for five years just so I could survive despite not having any powers."

Jen sighed as she smiled.

"Don't worry, guys. We're not going to let you go hungry," she smiled. "We're going to make sure you get some food until we can get you on your feet in here."

"I'm actually a chef at one of the best restaurants in town," Allison said. "I can make some extra meals and bring them here for you guys? How's that sound?"

"That would be nice," Nate admitted.

"And by the way, it's obvious from your description that your father was a Plumber," Gwen said.

"Um, yeah. We know that," Wade said.

"No, not like that. Plumbers are an intergalactic police force of sorts. They know everything about Osmosians and aliens of the like," Ben smiled. "We've been running into a lot of Plumber's Kids recently."

"And in return for us helping you, we're going to need your help," Jen smiled.

"How?"

"You're awesome with those powers of yours," Jen said. "And right now, Earth is in the middle of a huge alien conspiracy. The si of us are putting together a special team to help us against the DNAlien invasion when it inevitably comes to Earth."

"You guys in?"

"Duh," Nate said, jabbing his sister and she smiled.

"Of course we'll help. You're willing to do the same for us," Lila said as she eyed the badge in Wade's hand.

"Those badges work as communicators too," Gwen smiled as Becky and Kevin showed theirs.

"When we need you guys, we'll just call," Allison said.

"Promise us that you guys will be there?" Kevin asked as the triplets smiled at him.

"Of course we do," Wade said. "You can count on us."

"Thanks so much," Jen said as they all got up. "We gotta get out. Our parents are probably wondering what happened to us."

"Thank you guys. We won't let you down," Lila said as they smiled and left to their vehicles.

"Well, all's well that ends well," Ben said with a smile. "We just got three more members added to our team."

"Those DNAliens should be quaking in their tentacles," Becky said as they all filed into the cars.

"Come on, bro," Jen said with a smile. "Let's go home."

The team then drove off into the moonlight, leaving their new friend's team behind, proud of their work.

What Are Little Girls Made Of?
