A truck was driving down the road to Bellwood before swerving down the road before it got on the mountainside road behind a blue car, whose driver looked into the mirror and looked confused when he saw the truck getting dangerously close to his rear.
The truck turned to the left to safely get around him. The car driver looked into the window of the truck and gasped as he saw the truck driver basically frozen in fear.
The truck driver remembered the DNAliens loading a weapon of some type into the truck and were still constructing whatever that arch at Los Soledad was. He remembered the Xenocytes, the Highbreed Commander. He even remembered sneaking into the truck and driving away towards the area.
His nervousness and sweat was the reason he looked off his game and he drove towards Bellwood, his grip tightening on the wheel and his vision started to cloud. He then passed out in the driver's seat before he groaned, the truck swerving towards a cliff and it crashed down into the desert of California before settling in a ditch.
The driver immediately walked out of the truck's debris and cracked his joints before walking off down the road. He continued for a little while before he waved down a pick-up truck, whose driver pulled over and let him in.
"Name's Jeff."
The man then took his wallet out of his jacket and looked at his ID.
"Tyler."
"*chuckle* You've got to look it up?"
Tyler took a guitar pick out of his wallet and sighed.
"The aliens did something to my mind, but I've still got to find a way to stop them."
Jeff only looked at Tyler strangely before leaving him on the side of the road, leaving Tyler to continue on his walk.
Tyler eventually stopped at the Desert Highway Patrol station, where he was talking to the officers.
The officers only looked at him strangely, obviously not believing his story.
"A nest of aliens, huh?"
"You have to believe me!" Tyler shouted before he groaned out as another memory came to him of seeing what the Highbreed's plans for Planet Earth were. "I don't understand it all myself, but I got away. That proves something, right?"
"Good news, the highway patrol has a special alien-proof room. Officers Mullen and Lou are gonna take you there."
Tyler gasped as Mullen and Lou grabbed him and dragged him back.
"No! This is real!"
"Relax, it's only until the alien-proof bus comes for you."
The captain then picked up the phone and contacted his superiors with a simple...
"He's here."
The guards closed the door to Tyler's cell and walked off before turning the lights out, leaving poor Tyler in the darkness.
He then went to the bed in his cell and started thinking to himself.
"The details. My name is Tyler. I'm 26 years old. I may be a little confused, but I'm not crazy. Somebody listen! There are aliens! I saw them! Argh!"
He then flashed back as another memory took place.
The Highbreed were looking at a monitor, staring at what appeared to be the construction on the arch that Cooper was helping them build.
"These humans are resilient," the Highbreed Commander said.
Tyler came back into consciousness and gasped as he saw the guards standing at his cell door.
"I said wake up. I ain't nothing to be afraid of, Tyler," Mullen said, opening the barred door. "I just need your statement."
"Where'd you hide your key?" Lou asked.
"Key?"
"Aw, don't play stupid, Tyler," Mullen said, holding a DNAlien blaster up.
"Nowhere to run, Tyler."
Tyler gasped, recognizing the weapon before he was held at gunpoint by the two "officers."
"Make it easy on yourself, boy. Tell us where to find it."
In his struggle, Tyler knocked the ID mask off of Mullen, revealing him and Lou to be DNAliens.
"You're one of them!"
"We don't have to argue, Tyler," Mullen said as Lou took his own mask off.
"Not at first."
Tyler shouted out as he suddenly lifted the bed up with surprising strength as he tossed the bed at the DNAliens and pushed it against them, sandwiching them between the wall, trapping them. He then closed the door and ran for his life as the DNAliens broke out.
The DNAliens burst out the front door of the station and looked around, not noticing Tyler hiding behind a squad car.
He gasped as he saw a DNAlien spot him and dodged a slime blast before the other DNAlien walked up, cornering him like a rat.
He ran away, just as Kevin's car pulled over by him with Ally's bike reeling by him as Kevin revealed the open front seat and Jen riding in Ally's attachable side car that she recently purchased.
"Get in! Quick!" Ben shouted.
Left with not much of a choice, Tyler ran into the car and both vehicles drove off, leaving the DNAliens stranded.
They drove through the desert as Tyler looked to the motorcycle and the backseat to see the team.
"Who are you?"
"We're the Omni-Team," Ben said. "I'm Ben. These are Gwen, Becky and Kevin. Jen and Ally are on the bike outside."
"We're here to help you," Gwen promised.
"For sure," Jen said over the radio.
Unsure, Tyler reached over to Ben and felt at his face for an ID mask, not finding any seam.
"Ow! Why'd you do that?"
"You'd never believe me."
"Yes we would," Becky said.
"Think, Tennyson," Kevin said. "Those DNAliens chased him out of the police station."
"Then they must've had ID masks," Ally said over the radio.
"You know about the aliens?"
"We've been trying to stop them for months now. But we don't know what they're planning exactly."
Kevin then showed his Plumber's badge to Tyler.
"We've been scanning for any kind of communications with tech above Level 2, since that's considered illegal on Earth. Your name came up, Tyler."
"You know who I am?"
"Only because some guy back there made a call about you," Ben explained. "He said you had an 'oscillator key', whatever that is."
"It's Level 5 alien tech."
"We're the Omni-Team, Tyler," Jen said. "Every superhero team has their own specialty. The L-Crew has meta humans, the Miraculous Team has akumas, Team Phantom has ghosts, we have aliens."
"Where'd you get your hands on alien technology?" Gwen asked.
"Um... I don't know," Tyler said, holding up the guitar pick. "Something messed up my memory."
"What's that?" Kevin asked. "More alien tech?"
"No, you idiot," Becky said. "It's a pick."
"A bass pick to be exact," Jen said.
"Are you a musician?" Ally asked.
"That sounds right, but I don't have any clear memories."
"Well, that helps," Kevin said. "You stole a hyperdimensional oscillator key from a Highbreed nest and, oh, you play the bass."
"Lights off, Kev," Ben ordered.
"Huh?"
"Do it!"
Kevin looked ahead and saw some DNAliens searching with flashlights. He then shut off his headlights and moved ahead slowly before he hit a speed bump, catching the DNAliens attention.
They ran forwards up the mountain towards the car, only to find nothing when they reached the road. They ran ahead, as the camera panned over to see car and bike hiding behind a rock fixture. When Ally saw the coast was clear, they hid and drove back on the road.
"They're out in force," Jen analyzed. "Something big's going on."
"A hyperdimensional oscillator key is as big as it gets. It's for warping through space."
"I had to steal it away. To stop the aliens."
"From doing what?" Ben asked.
"It'll come to me."
"Helpful," Ally said.
"We do have one advantage, guys," Gwen said.
"What is it, sis?" Becky asked.
"They may need it, but they don't know where it is."
"I do."
Eventually, the team drove up to the clearing where Tyler crashed the truck and hiked down the mountain to get to the wreckage, armed with the flashlights and said settings on the Omnitrixes.
"I ditched it over here."
The twins shone their lights onto the truck wreckage and the opened door.
"Nice job parking, slick," Kevin said.
"You can't see it from the road. Driving a truck isn't easy," Tyler said.
"Yeah, well it's not any easier than driving a motorcycle," Ally said.
"Or keeping a piece of equipment this size hidden from the aliens," Gwen said.
"We were still wondering about that."
Jen then bowed to Gwen as her telekinesis charm glowed on her arm and she rubbed her hands as she telekinetically pried the doors off of the back of the truck.
They looked inside to see the key still behind a wall and the twins nodded to each other as they slammed their Omnitrixes and transformed into...
"Chromastone!"
"Crystagirl!"
"What are you people?" Tyler asked.
"Superheroes. Get used to it," Becky smirked.
"Let's speed this up a bit," Crystagirl shotued as she and Chromastone blasted a magic beam and an ultraviolet laser into the truck to melt a hole in the wall before prying it open.
"Now let's have a look at this oscillator key," Chromastone said, lighting up the area, only to find a DNAlien hopping down in front of them and Crystagirl gasped when she saw several more DNAliens approaching them.
"Oh, man!" she shouted. "Bummer!"
Hearing the commotion from outside, the others nodded to each other and moved in closer as Kevin stuck his head through the hole.
"Tennyson?"
As soon as the words left his lips, Chromastone and Crystagirl were tossed straight through the truck's wall and into the rocky fixtures as Crystagirl crossed her hands.
"Crystarmum!"
She generated a field of pink crystal around herself that shielded her from the impact as she and her brother stuck their heads out.
"DNAliens! Coming in hot!"
That was when the DNAliens popped out of the truck and roared at the team.
"Figures they would get here first," Becky sighed, pressing her watch as she morphed into Huntress.
"I hear you, compadre," Kevin sighed as he transformed into Absorber with Ally and Gwen turning into Matter Girl and Lucky Girl.
"Ready?" Crystagirl asked, summoning her scepter to her hand.
"Oh yeah," Lucky Girl said, encasing her hands in spheres of mana.
"Protect the key!"
"Bring it," Chromastone said as he and his sister ran in to join the rest of the team as Huntress twirled her spear around.
The DNAliens swarmed the team as they grabbed Chromastone and held him against his will until he used his strength to flip them over and blasted them with ultraviolet blasts as Crystagirl formed her scepter into a sword with a beautiful...
"Cyrstem Sabris!" she said as she blasted them with crystal blasts and ducked backwards and hit him with a kick to the head as one raked her shoulder with his claws as she shouted out and glared. "We'll beat you!"
"What good are you? You have pink hair," a DNAlien said as Crystagirl shouted out and sent out a magic blast from her hand, sending the creature falling backwards.
"Jealous?"
Lucky Girl ran in and blasted out with magenta fire blasts from her Fire Charm until one slammed her against the truck with a shout.
Huntress ducked and dodged, swiping and stabbing with her spear and backflipped onto the truck as she flicked out her crossbow and fired an explosive arrow from her quiver that sent the DNAliens flying with a fist pump.
The DNAliens started to surround Tyler just as Absorber absorbed the metal from the truck and slammed their heads together.
Another DNAlien used the tentacles that made up his maw to wrap around Matter Girl and reeled her in forwards as she absorbed the ground's material and she shouted out with a hammer kick to the head as she struggled against the team.
Tyler felt curious and looked into the holes in the truck to see the oscillator key.
Soon enough, Lucky Girl felt herself getting overwhelmed by the sheer amounts of DNAliens that the team were fighting as one grabbed her arms and forced them downwards.
"We are much stronger than you, human. Much stronger."
"Yeah?" Lucky Girl asked, wincing at his putrid smell. "Well, body odor isn't everything!"
She used her mana to create two constructs and pulled them in and tossed them away from her.
Chromastone was knocking the DNAliens back with his grunts of effort and ultraviolet blasts before a DNAlien walked up to him with a container.
"You're coming with us."
He then opened the container to reveal a Xenocyte screeching out and it latched itself onto his head.
As the others were also struggling with the DNAliens overwhelming them, Tyler looked at the oscillator key as his memories started coming back to him.
"Once the oscillator key completes the jump gate, nothing will stop us," the Highbreed Commander said. "How long will it take?"
"Perhaps a day, master. Perhaps longer," another Highbreed said.
"These humans are resilient. But they are degenerate filth. The Highbreed Fleet will pour through and wipe this planet clean as quickly as any other."
He also remembered the construction of the arch or jump gate and the section of it where the oscillator key went to power it up.
"Right."
Chromastone stood up with the Xenocyte wrapped around his head before he chuckled.
"Psych! Indestructible super-dense silicone, guys!" He pulled the Xenocyte off of him and blasted it apart with an ultraviolet blast. "Nice try, though."
He blasted them all away with ultraviolet blasts as Crystagirl looked to see the DNAliens scratching and clawing at Absorber, pulling his metal armor off of him as she glared.
"Oh no, you don't!"
She shouted out and blasted away with her crystal blasts and flipped her pink locks back.
"You okay?"
"Ugh, no," Absorber said.
"You're it, guy," Huntress said to the last DNAlien with an arrow knocked in her bow as Matter Girl nodded.
"Last monster standing."
"Scum," he said. "There are countless others."
He then ran away full speed before leaping into another truck before placing an ID mask on him as the DNAliens all got up and ran away towards the truck before getting into the back and closing the door as the truck drove away full speed.
"Let them go," Chromastone said.
"Right," Lucky Girl said. "It's the big key we're after."
The team then transformed back as Kevin and Ally dissolved their armor as Tyler looked to them.
"Ben, Jen, I've got it."
"What?"
"The aliens. Not these, the other ones in charge."
"Highbreed," Kevin said. "The big ones."
"Yeah. They're building a dimensional gate in Los Soledad."
"What?" Becky asked, shocked.
"Where are they going?" Ben asked.
"Not going. Coming! The whole Highbreed fleet is going to invade and destroy the Earth! I remember!"
"Yeah, and I think I know why you remember," Ben said as he reached for his face and ripped off an I.D. mask, revealing a DNAlien underneath!
"You're a DNAlien," Gwen realized, stepping back in shock.
Tyler took a broken mirror off of the destroyed truck and looked at his reflection in it.
"A DNAlien? Me?"
"Of course," Ally said.
"There's no way a regular human could get through a wreck like that without getting hurt," Jen realized, still a little shocked.
Tyler gripped the mirror in his shaking hand and smashed it in his claws.
"But I'm a regular guy."
"They all are at first," Ben said. "The Highbreed use us lesser creatures to do their dirty work."
"The Highbreed called us humans degenerate filth," Tyler remembered.
Kevin then stepped on a Xenocyte as it tried to squirm away.
"They use these parasites called Xenocytes. They slap one on your face, and your humanity gets overwritten with DNAlien code."
"And suddenly, you're not you anymore," Becky said. "They took over an entire town that way. Los Soledad."
"We lost our Grandpa Max," Gwen said. "And me and Becky nearly lost our brother."
"We were there about two months ago, we thought we destroyed whatever they were building," Ben said.
"I guess we were wrong," Jen said. "I guess we only slowed them down."
"Not by much," Tyler remembered.
"But somehow, you got the big key away," Ben said.
Tyler remembered how he was assigned to take the oscillator key away.
"You know your mission," a DNAlien said.
"Los Soledad. No stops."
He also remembered that when he drifted off the road in the truck and crashed it, he looked off.
"I was supposed to take it to Los Soledad," Tyler said.
"I was wondering how you got it away from them," Ally said.
"But I'm one of them."
"No," Ben said. "You've been fighting the reprogramming the whole time."
"Which means they're all fighting back," Becky realized. "But somehow, you managed to reverse it on your own."
"That's what we have to do with the other DNAliens," Jen said. "They're still human underneath that skin."
"But first, we need to get the oscillator key out of here," Kevin said.
"Yeah," Ben said. "They'll be back with reinforcements. We could use your help, Tyler."
Tyler remembered the Highbreed saying that the fleet would wipe this planet clean of human life just as quickly as any other.
"Don't worry about me. I'm a monster. Save the rest of them."
He then stepped back and did a running jump onto the truck's side and ripped the metal off with his claws as the others only stared.
"Mr. Healthy outlook," Gwen muttered as the rest of the metal sheets went flying, revealing the oscillator key underneath.
The two Anodite cousins nodded and shot their hands out, sending out some mana tendrils that wrapped around the key before they began pulling with all of their might as Jen severed the mana ropes together and turned to Ben.
"Okay, Vaxasaurian time," she said as they both transformed into...
"Humungousaur!"
"Titanosaurus!"
Later, the team climbed up the mountain and the twins dragged the oscillator key up the mountain with them, helping Gwen as she handled the mana tendrils up to Kevin's car and Ally's bike.
"Drive alongside. We'll drag it," Humungousaur said.
"The glow of the mana will attract attention," Ally warned.
"And a tuning fork the size of a building won't?" Titanosaurus said.
"The clock is ticking," Huntress said. "We've got to demolish this thing! Without it, that hyperspace gate won't work."
"It might be a little late for that," Gwen said as she pointed up to see a large ship that opened its underbelly to reveal tons of DNAliens facing them a a blue laser charged from the inside of the ship before it blasted down to the surface as the twins glared and growled as their bodies grew more spines and started growing in size and stature as they started towering above the rest of the team.
"Head for cover immediately!" Humungousaur shouted.
"That's not a weapon, it's a tractor beam!" Kevin realized as the twins picked up the oscillator key as the tractor beam trailed by them as they all ran off and slid down the mountain as the beam started slowly catching up to them.
"Gwen!" Ally shouted as Gwen put up a large mana forcefield that she augmented with her charm tattoos.
"You got this?" Becky asked.
"I hope so."
To counter this, all of the DNAliens in the ship leaped down to Earth and blasted out lasers from their blasters to hit Gwen's forcefield, raining down hell.
"Crap!" Titanosaurus shouted as Tyler ran off to the frontline and did a somersault before shooting out his slime from his maw, sliming the DNAliens and jamming their weapons as Becky ran out and took out her bow and blasted out a few explosive arrows that detonated once they hit the floor near the DNAliens.
Humungousaur then reached down and picked up Tyler for his own safety.
"Look, I'm finished either way, Ben."
"No. No sacrifices."
Gwen was struggling with assault as her forcefield started to crack and a steady trickle of blood leaked out of her nose.
"I can't do this much longer!"
Humungousaur reached down and placed Tyler next to them.
"Keep calm, Gwen," Titanosaurus said as the twins slapped the Omnitrix cores and transformed into Jetray and Kung Fang in a flash of green and pink light.
They both took flight and avoided the blasts as they came to the sky as Kung Fang took a deep breath and let out a sonic screech from her mouth that caused the DNAliens to hold their ears in pain as they flew up to the ship.
Jetray blasted his neuroshock blasts from his eyes and tail into the ship, knocking down some DNAliens as one blasted a turret at him from the outside.
Kung Fang nodded to him before glaring her sightless eyes as she swooped down and placed her hands on her utility belt and wrapped her wings around her form, divebombing to the hole in the wall before she tossed out some ninja stars and sliced the nozzles off of the blasters as her brother blasted the turret cannon with his neuroshocks.
Meanwhile, Kevin absorbed the rocky wall as Ally absorbed the metal from the oscillator key and ran off as Becky took out her spear and machete as they both ran in as Kevin and Tyler tossed out giant boulders to the DNAliens as Ally formed her hands into a mace and a sword, running forwards and dodging the slime blasts, ducking left and right.
Becky ran forwards and spun, her weapons ducked in close to her as she ducked and ran as she stuck her spear into the ground and swiveled around on it while using her machete to cut the DNAliens and she kicked them away. She then landed on the ground and then slammed the blade's rounded side onto another DNAlien's head, shouting out with a roar of effort.
Ally, however, slammed and sliced with her arms as Gwen kept up the forcefield on the tractor beam as a DNAlien snuck up behind her and stuck his blaster forwards.
"Gwen, look out!" Becky shouted as she reached to her belt and took out her bow, flicking it out as she reached into her quiver and Tyler eyed her as they silently nodded to each other.
Tyler blasted out a slime ball and jot the DNAlien at the time as Becky fired a boxing glove arrow that and they both hit the DNAlien off the side of the cliff.
"Keep it up, Gwen!" Ally shouted as she ducked under a slime blast and nailed a DNAlien with a kick after morphing her foot into a hammer and then landing back as Kevin tossed a boulder that hit another one.
Inside the ship, reinforcements started coming in just before Jetray blew a hole in the floor as Kung Fang sliced through all the slime blasts with her katanas, surprisingly not getting any residue on any of them as she and her brother both glared at the corrupted humans before them.
"How do we shut off the tractor beam?" Jetray asked.
The DNAlien only growled at them as more reinfocements showed up behind them as Jetray gave the deadliest glare ever by firing his neuroshocks out of his eyes and sending the hybrids flying out of the ship in a fiery explosion as they both flew out.
The chaos continued to rage outside as Gwen kept her forcefield up and Kevin, Ally, Becky and Tyler continued to fight and protect the oscillator key
Soon, the former three were tackled and restrained as two DNAliens restrained Tyler by the arms and growled at him.
"We are going to overwrite you, Tyler. And you won't remember ever defying us."
"NO!"
Gwen screamed in pain as every muscle in her body started to feel like it was on fire and her forcefield suddenly shattered as the DNAliens leaped into the tractor beam and the DNAliens also dragged Tyler into it.
"No! Tyler!" Becky shouted.
Tyler looked on as the oscillator key was also sucked up into the tractor beam along with Gwen as her unconscious form was dragged forwards on the ground.
Kevin reached up and grabbed Gwen before she could get too deep into the beam and she fell into his arms as they witnessed almost all of the creatures filing into the ship.
That was when Jetray and Kung Fang swooped in and witnessed the DNAliens restraining Tyler.
"Tyler!" they both shouted.
"Tennyson!" Kevin screamed. "Shoot the mirror!"
They both looked in as Kung Fang sighed and face-palmed. "Why is it that sometimes the right thing feels so wrong?"
They both swooped in and snatched Tyler from the tractor beam as they witnessed the oscillator key fly up into the ship and the doors closed behind it.
They set Tyler down and looked at the ship fly away from them as they sighed.
"We lost," Becky said.
"Hey, tonight wasn't our night," Ally said. "But there'll be other days."
"I new we should've destroyed that thing when we had the chance," Kung Fang said.
"There's got to be another way we can win this war," Jetray said.
"Nice going guys," Kevin said, walking up to them.
"Not sure about your choice, guys," Gwen said. "Now the Highbreed is coming in full force."
"No sacrifices," Kung Fang said as the twins transformed back to human form as they looked at Tyler.
"Yeah, but without them, we can't save the world," Kevin said, dissolving his armor.
"We lost twice. They're going to finish that jump gate any day now and I'm this... thing. It's over."
"That's what you don't get," Ben and Jen said as they nodded and stuck their left arms onto Tyler as the Omnitrixes beeped and the cores popped up.
"What are you?"
"Just wait," Becky said as the Omnitrixes uploaded their human data into Tyler as the Xenocyte fell off of him as it tried to squirm away.
"Genetic damage repaired," the male and female A.I.s stated.
Gwen looked at the Xenocyte intensely and shouted out as she used her pink laser vision to blast the DNAlien to dust, killing it instantly.
Becky showed her mirror to Tyler as he looked into it with a gasp at his normal human face.
"This is really me. And I can remember it all! I grew up in Evanston and I was in glee club at high school!"
"And you play the bass?" Kevin asked slyly.
"I do!"
"It's never hopeless," Ben said.
"Yeah," Ally said. "We know what the Highbreed are doing and where they're going to do it."
"There's only six people in the world who know how to stop them," Gwen said.
"And they're all standing in this desert," Jen said as they looked up to the sky, determined to make their best move.
