Inside of the great kingdom of Cinnibar, there stood the royal palace, inside of which housed the Scarlet Army, whose soldiers came from all across the multiverse and were the most loyal and ruthless in such multiverse.
The ruler of this palace was Queen Scarlett Katherine Felchenerow, also known as the Scarlet Warrior, an immortal warrior who is one of the most powerful. She was also the guardian of Jen Tennyson as well as her brother and friends. One of the top ranking members of the Protectors, this woman does everything in her power to protect and serve Cinnibar and her people as well as the entire multiverse.
She was currently naked in the palace's spa room, getting a relaxing massage from her handmaidens with her private parts wrapped in a towel and she sighed contentedly, relaxed at the smooth motions of her handmaidens hand movements against her muscles.
Soon, her enchantlet started ringing on the stand next to the warrior queen's table and her handmaidens gasped as the Enchantet projected a hologram of Princess Celestia of Equestria, Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira, Pink Diamond of Homeworld and Queen Angella of Bright Moon in a circle around her as she looked up, surprised at her four leaders before her.
"Celestia? Hippolyta? Pink? Angella?" she asked confusedly as she waved her hand, signalling her handmaidens out of the room as she wrapped her enchanlet around her wrist and walked over to the curtain to change back into her royal dress.
"Oh my," Pink Diamond said, shocked as Scarlett tossed her towels over the curtain and closed it as they saw her silhouette getting changed into her usual clothing.
"We're so sorry to intrude on your privacy, Scarlett," Celestia stated, a blush on her face for three seconds before she hook her head. "But we have a very important announcement."
"This better be good for the four of you interrupting my very limited relaxing time," Scarlett said, stepping out from the curtain to reveal her absolutely stunning royal dress as she sighed and set her crown back onto her head and adjusted it before slapping herself in the face and straightening herself out and stretching her muscles from the relaxing treatment. "And where's Billy, Arthur and Stephen? Aren't they supposed to be a part of your council since they're the successors of the deceased original Protectors?"
"Well, Stephen is busy overseeing the training at the Sanctum Sanctorum, Arthur is taking care of business in Atlantis and Billy... has family matters to attend to," Angella said, smiling.
"How's Glimmer, Angella?"
"She has made a fantastic queen since I returned home thanks to those teleporter enhancements that your blacksmith Bismuth made to the Protector's enchantlets. Bright Moon is in good hands."
"Now onto business," Hippolyta said, crossing her arms. "As you might know, Your Highness, today is the sixteenth birthday of your charges, Ben and Jen Tennyson."
At that, Scarlett's eyes went as wide as dinner plates.
"Oh man. I've been really busy with ruling over Cinnibar, managing the Scarlet Army's missions and business with Protectors. I must have forgotten about it in the mix."
"No matter, Scarlett," Pink Diamond stated, sitting back. "The time has come to inform Jen of her true destiny as the Master Spark."
"Of course. Let us do it tonight at their partying when her family is all together. It involves them too."
"Okay," Scarlett said. "Let's do it. Tonight."
"Tonight," the council all chorused in agreement before signing off.
"I don't know if poor Jen is ready for this," Scarlett told herself. "But it's destiny and a pact is a pact."
Inside an unknown area, a large figure groaned and opened its eyes, shuffling the nearby rubble off of itself and started walking off, taking notice of the lowing machinery blinking close by and the figure groaned out, prying the door open with its immense strength, revealing the location to be a DNAlien mine.
He then walked through the tunnels, the DNAliens not taking notice of it as it walked by, drill and mining at the golden gems in the caverns and loading them into the mine carts nearby. There was even a giant mechanical drill going at the cavern before stopping to reveal a large alien spaceship.
"It is not one of our ships, sir," a DNAlien told his boss. "The workers found it here."
"The excavation project must proceed. The Highbreed have so ordered: nothing will stand in our way."
"As you say, sir."
The large drill continued its work and the figure started walking off again before looking at its reflection in the metal of the ship, revealing it to be a large green-skinned alien with a hulking figure and white glowing eyes and sharp fangs.
Later on, the DNAliens gathered at the entrance of the mine beside the ruined drill, obviously destroyed by the ship it failed to drill into.
"You, you and you," the captain ordered to his underlings. "Get some heavier equipment back into the mine. Go now!"
"Yes sir," the DNAliens said as they ran off.
The DNAliens started drilling at the ship again, only for the drill end to break off from the density of the ship's metal and the DNAliens holding it tossed them into a pile of wrecked drills.
The green alien, witnessing this in horror, broke the apparent coupling power source off of the charger the drills were connected to, causing the drills to power down and the lights to turn off inside the mine.
"The power coupling's gone bad."
"No, sir. The coupling's missing!"
The green alien wandered off into the mine before seeing the tunnel exit and winced to see the night lights of Bellwood shining brightly. Mesmerized, he ran off to the area, only for the wooden boards lining the broken mine track, causing him to fall to the desert ground. He recovered and continued his run to the city.
Later on, a family was driving on a road by the desert and gasped when they saw the green alien in front of them and immediately swerved and pulled over by the area and glared.
"Come on, let's go! Go, now!" the father shouted as he turned the ignition to get away from the roaring alien, but not before said alien broke off the attachment to the tank carrying a bunch of packages to the back of the car.
The alien then dumped the packages out and placed the power coupling into the tank before walking down the road again.
In Bellwood, the alien had also gathered a ton of everyday stuff like road signs and machinery. It then saw the swinging stoplight and grabbed it, mesmerized by the light, but disappointed when the light died out. He stepped on the light, destroying it further before walking off again.
The next night in the desert, Kevin and Ally drove their vehicles along the road by the desert with Gwen using her tracking spell on the broken spotlight to track where the alien came from.
"Some birthday party," Jen groaned as she sat alongside her brother in Kevin's car with Becky in the front seat and crossed her arms as they advanced slowly. "Please explain to me why we're celebrating the day of our birth in the middle of the desert?"
"Well, we're superheroes, sis," Ben said. "And a hero's work is never done, even on their birthday."
"I get that, bro," Jen said. "But we shouldn't have to today of all days. It's our Sweet 16! Well, mine more so because you're a guy, but come on! This is one of the most important birthdays in a girl's life!"
"I know that. I want a great Sweet 16 too," Gwen said to her cousin. "But what can we do?"
"So, Becky," Kevin asked, quickly wanting to change the topic to avoid Jen's understandable frustration. "What's it like having your birthday two days after Christmas?"
"Well, it has its ups and downs, as my sister or our cousins would tell you," Becky said, hand on chin. "The four of us have to get each other gifts for two holidays two days apart. It's kind of double the birthday gifts from each other since our parents can't afford to get that many gifts that close together. That's why we have each other."
"I know it sucks that we can't get more than one gift from our parents because of that, but that's the way the ball bounces sometimes," Ben said, smiling and jabbing her.
"I know," Gwen said. "It's nice spending your birthday with someone else now that we live here and I had to spend five years with a birthday all to myself."
"By the way, Ally," Jen said. "Thanks for that Christmas present you got us earlier."
"You mean my old freeweights I got you two? Wait until you see my gift for your birthday this year. But it's not the price, it's the thought that counts. And that Chopped chef jacket you got me was great too."
"Gwen and I got Backstreet Boys CDs and an MP3 player from you," Becky stated. "Can't wait to see what the four of us got at our party tonight."
"I know. It's our parents gifts since they double as a Christmas gift and a birthday gift," Ben said as they looked to Gwen as she levitated in a meditative state with a pink aura surrounding the destroyed stoplight.
"I'm definitely getting something, guys," Gwen stated. "The mana trail is getting stronger and stronger."
"You said that, like, two hours ago, Gwen?" Kevin said.
"Trying to concentrate, Kevin."
"Let her do her work, Kevin," Jen said, sulking in her seat. "Because right now, I can't."
"Let her work on what? It's a wild goose chase."
"I don't think so," Becky said. "All those reports of a monster running around here and wrecking stuff?"
"That doesn't mean it's the DNAliens, Becky," Ally stated. "It could be anything. Even a bear that escaped from the zoo."
"It can't be. There's no reports of any animals breaking out of any zoo in California."
"Then it has to be the DNAliens," Ben said. "What else besides us or any of the Plumbers' kids we've recruited could be strong enough to tear down a traffic light?"
"And the DNAliens are mad at the traffic light why?"
"Yeah, we're still working on that," Jen said.
"Hold up, guys," Gwen said, stopping and dropping the traffic light. "I got something for sure. It's cllse."
"Everyone out," Kevin said as he and his sister pulled over and parked in the desert sands.
Jen nodded and picked up the traffic light before levitating it herself and getting the mana on it before she started sniffing for a familiar mana sense.
"Over there," Jen said, pointing to the right to see the green alien waling with the tank he was using as a wagon for his collectibles stop before a cactus.
The alien grabbed the cactus before backing off and groaning in pain as it pricked itself with the cactus' spines. It then grabbed the cactus straight out of the ground and swallowed it whole before gagging as it pricked its tongue on the spines. It then picked up the DNAlines' power coupler before an arrow zinged by it.
"Drop it!" Ben shouted as he and the others ran forwards, up until the alien swung the power coupler like a flail and the team, minus Gwen, all dodged it and hit the ground on their shoulders.
"To be fair, you did tell him to drop it," Kevin said, shrugging.
The alien marched forwards and picked the power coupler back up and took it, cuddling it to his cheek as the others stood up.
"He's not very DNAlien, is he?" Jen asked, raising an eyebrow.
"That looks like Highbreed tech though," Kevin said. "So maybe he's working for them?"
The twins then looked over to the alien's wagon and raised an eyebrow each.
"What's he trying to build with all this stuff?" Jen asked, confused as she picked up a piece of metal.
The alien roared outwards and tried tackling them and they gasped before backflipping onto the ground and prepared their Omnitrixes for transformation.
"Listen, we don't want to hurt you," Jen warned. "Drop the weapon and give yourself up!"
"You're going to have to read him his rights first, Tennyson," Kevin said, absorbing a rock's material and then he leaped forwards. "Just take him out!"
The alien, however, swatted him with a backhand and sent him sprawling away for about 20 feet.
Ben slammed his Omnitrix down and transformed into...
"Humungousaur!"
The Vaxasaurian matched the alien's size and Jen slammed her Omnitrix down and transformed into...
"Rockette!" the Zepplian shouted, giving the rock-on sign and sticking her tongue out before her guitar appeared in her arm and she leaped up onto her brother's shoulder as she prepared herself as she played herself a little solo without activating her powers.
The alien ran forwards and tackled Humungousaur in a manhold and Ben struggled to break free as Ally smirked.
"Aw, I think he likes you."
"Not funny, wanker!" Rockette shouted as she leaped up and played out a sound wave that blasted the alien off her brother before she landed on the ground and spun it with a glare.
Humungousaur swatted out with his tail and slammed the alien in the head before slamming him with a left hook, sending the alien skittering backwards with a roar, sending him skittering back really far on his butt.
The alien, surprisingly, started sobbing right in front of them.
"Eh?" Rockette asked as she walked up, unsure.
"Oh, come on! I didn't hit you that hard."
The alien looked over to his right and saw one of the yellow gems the DNAliens were mining earlier and giggled, grabbing it.
"He's going for a weapon!" Becky shouted.
Humungousaur ran up and smiled.
"Don't have much of an attention span, do you?"
He swatted the gem away, causing the alien to get upset and it slammed its hands against the ground before getting up and slamming Humungousaur back.
"Okay," Rockette said. "Time to beat on the brat!"
She then fired a laser from the neck of her guitar, hitting the alien as Ally morphed her hand into a mallet and slammed upwards, sending the alien skittering back once again.
The alien then walked over to the road and Becky looked up, flicking her spear out.
"He's getting away!"
The alien then tore the road barrier off of the side of the road and Humungousaur swung a punch and missed as the alien wrapped him up in the metal barrier.
Humungousaur snarled before growing into his 60-foot state and breaking the barrier from around him.
The alien then gasped in horror and ran away in fear with a whimper... just before it was blocked by three mana walls and they looked to see Gwen glaring from above on a mana platform.
"I leave you guys alone for five minutes and this is what I get?"
Gwen then sent more mana walls to block the mana alien as Rockette and Becky ran by, pointing their weapons outwards before Humungousaur shrank back down and the alien gained a soft smile on his face as he looked at Gwen and her human form dissolved to see a magenta-skinned Anodite with waving pink tendrils floating around.
The green alien mumbled innocently as Rockette looked confused.
"Eh?"
"Is that monster for "I give up?" Kevin asked.
"Do I look like I speak monster-ese?" Humungousaur asked as all present teammates looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, right."
"I think it's calming down," Gwen said as the monster cooed. "I think the fight's over."
That was when the monster smashed through her mana wall and grabbed her, lifting her up.
"Gwen!" Becky and Kevin both shouted.
"Put her down!" Ally shouted just before her best friend blocked her with her guitar.
"No. He'll squish her," Rockette reported.
"I don't want to be squished!"
"Well we've got to do something," Becky said.
The alien looked at Gwen, still seeing her in her Anodite form as her voice echoed.
"Put me down now!"
The alien mumbled and then gently set Gwen down on the ground.
"Thank you."
"Okay, you guys hit him high, we'll hit him low," Ally said, cracking her knuckles.
Humungousaur, Becky, Kevin and Ally charged forwards, just before they were blocked by a mana wall.
"Don't hurt it."
"Why not?" Rockette asked, running up. "Look at all the chaos it's caused."
"I think it's just a baby. It doesn't know any better."
"It squished you pretty hard, Gwen," Becky stated.
The team looked up to see the alien teething on the power coupler like a rattle.
"No," Humungousaur said, slapping his Omnitrix as his sister did the same, transforming back to human form. "All that random stuff it was stealing from town, it's not building anything with it after all."
"She thinks they're toys," Gwen said. "Look."
The alien twisted the power coupler and spun it around like a top, giggling at it.
"Wait a minute," Jen asked. "She?"
"What makes you so sure it's a girl?" Ally asked.
"Yeah, if it were a girl, it would have a pink bow on its head or something," Kevin said, dissolving his armor as Becky sighed.
"You didn't pay much attention in Health Class, did you?"
"Listen, Gwen," Ben said. "We can't really be wasting time babysitting this thing."
"Yeah," Jen stated. "We've got a party to prepare for. We only get one Sweet 16 and I really want today to be perfect."
"She needs our help, guys," Gwen said. "We can't just leave her wandering alone in the desert."
"Needs our help?" Kevin asked and they looked at the alien stacking rocks on top of each other to form a tower and giggled and clapped her hands.
"Come on, Gwen," Becky said. "It's your Sweet 16 too. We had a big day planned already and you know how upset Jen gets when something as big as this doesn't go her way."
"I don't blame her," Ally said. "Besides, even if it wasn't your sixteenth birthday, we're on a mission of intergalactic proportions and this creature has nothing to do with that."
They heard a whirring of motors and looked to see the DNAliens moving in on their hovering machines.
"There's the creature! And there's our power coupling!"
"And now it does," Gwen said.
"We should've known you had something to do with this, Tennysons!"
"Us!?" Jen asked. "Look, the last thing we need right now is you ruining our birthday. So can we please save this for tomorrow at least?"
The DNAliens responded by firing out their slime blasts, which Jen blocked with a mana shield as she sighed.
"I'll take that as a 'no.'"
The alien looked to his side to see Jen in her Anodite form throwing balls of mana outwards as Gwen blocked the slime blasts with her own mana shield. She smiled and ran forwards, slamming a DNAlien with an uppercut and sending him flying to a cliff nearby.
"Whoa," Becky said, impressed.
The alien was blasted with several slime blasts to his chest and she was eventually covered in slime from the neck down. She struggled to break free and Gwen looked on before blasting the slime with a mana blast, freeing her.
Kevin then smirked and picked up the power coupler.
"This what you're looking for?"
Hearing him, the DNAliens and the alien ran for him, only for the formers to be shot away with Becky's arrows.
"Hey, birthday girl!" Ally said. "How much do you like party games?"
"A lot," Jen said.
"Then how about keep away?!"
Kevin tossed the power coupler forwards to Gwen, who caught it, causing the creature to run towards her with a shout and she tossed it to Becky, catching it as she witnessed the DNAliens running towards her.
"Ben, heads up!" she shouted, tossing the power coupler to her cousin, who caught it and saw the DNAliens running in towards him.
"Better split up, guys," Ben said as he dialed his Omnitrix and transformed into...
"Echo Echo!"
The Sonorosian split himself into four copies and ran off with the power coupler in several different directions.
"Retrieve the power coupler. We'll deal with the thief later!"
The DNAliens ran after the copy holding the power coupler in hot pursuit, only to be blasted back by his duplicates' sonic screams. The final DNAlien avoided them and was right on top of the one holding the coupler.
"Uh-oh."
Luckily, he was blasted by another sonic scream just in time.
"Thanks, you guys," Echo Echo said.
"No problem!" his duplicates said.
"Bro, what did we say about you talking to yourself?" Jen joked as the duplicates merged back into one and Ben transformed back as the others and the creature walked back to him.
The creature then mumbled incoherently to our heroes as he held out his hands.
"Okay," Ben said, handing the power coupler back to her.
The creature then giggled roughly, shaking the coupler like a rattle.
"We've got trouble," Ally reported. "If the DNAliens need that power coupling, they'll be back in force."
They looked up at the creature nibbling on the coupling.
"Not to mention, we have no idea what we're going to do about that."
"Her," Gwen corrected.
"Whatever," Jen scoffed.
"Well, do you want to stand around here arguing about it or do you want to help me hide her?"
"I'd like to keep standing around," Ben said.
"I'd like to keep arguing about it," Kevin said, jabbing his sister with a smile.
"Obviously, the two of us want a great sixteenth birthday more than you do, Gwen."
Gwen glared at her teammates sternly.
"If you don't want to know our answer, don't ask," Becky smirked.
"Obviously, the three of us want a great Sweet 16 WAY more than you do, Gwen," Jen said. "So we're going back to town to celebrate it with or without you."
Unfortunately, Gwen knew her cousins' greatest weakness and then stuck her lip out in a pout and gave her the puppy dog eyes, holding her hands up to her chin in a grasp.
"Oh no!" Ben said, starting to break.
"Not the baby doll eyes!" Jen said, holding her hand to her chest as her heart started to heave. "Alright, fine!"
The creature was throwing a hissy fit back at the headquarters later in the morning, tossing the papers and tech all over, only to be caught safely with the Anodite's telekinetic powers.
"Your turn, Gwen," Kevin muttered.
"It's always my turn."
"You're the one who wanted to help it."
"Her!" his teammates all corrected.
"Do I look like I care?"
Gwen got up and Ben looked to see his sister looking quite depressed.
"You okay?" Ben asked as he saw Jen sitting in the corner with her knees up to her head as he walked over.
"I'm fine," Jen said as her brother sat next to her. "It's just that this was supposed to be our special day. You know, the big 1-6."
"I know. It's one of the most important birthdays in a girl's life."
"It's an important birthday for you too, bro. I wanted to have a great day hanging out with you and our cousins today before our party tonight, but instead, we're spending it babysitting a baby alien."
"I feel your pain, sis. But that doesn't mean today has to be a total loss."
"Don't you want to hang out with Julie just like I want to hang out with Justin today?"
"We've still got 18 hours of birthday time left. In fact, I'll call them over right now," Ben said, whipping out his phone and dialing them in as Jen did the same. "We can still celebrate with our others."
"I guess you're right. It's just not going to be exactly how we wanted," Jen sighed, dialing in her boyfriend's number.
Gwen walked up to the creature and as it lifted Kevin's car up and started nibbling on the hood.
"What are you doing?!" Kevin shouted. "Why does this keep happening to me!?"
"Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where it's been!" Gwen scolded.
Kevin ran over to the front of his car to see the huge bite mark in it and it started dripping fuel from the exposed engine.
The creature burped loudly and a scowl scrawled its way across Kevin's face.
"That's it! Out!"
"She's just a baby, she didn't know!"
"Gwen," Becky said, marching over to her sister. "As much as the three of us hate siding with Kevin, Tiny has to go back where she came from."
"Seriously," Ally said, crossing her arms. "You weren't planning on keeping her, were you, Gwen?"
"It doesn't matter," Ben said. "We're stuck with her until nightfall anyway."
"What?!" Jen asked. "What do you mean until nightfall?!"
"Yeah, get her out of here while I still have some car left!" Kevin shouted.
"If we take her outside during the day, she's a big old moving target. For the DNAliens and everybody else in town," Ben explained.
"I don't think she can see so well in the sunlight anyway."
They then heard a massive crash and looked to see a ton of equipment on the floor.
"That would explain why she only rampaged at night," Becky realized.
"Okay," Gwen said. "Tonight we'll get Tiny to lead us to wherever she came from."
"She really will be safe in here," Jen said. "But she has to stay here for now. We'll take shifts watching her between going out. We're celebrating a great birthday today, like it or not."
"I guess you're right."
A few minutes later, they heard a horn outside and the twins walked out to see Julie and Justin in Justin's car with Ship in a backpack form on Julie's back as they smiled and walked down to see their others.
"Hey," Jen said as Justin hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey, beautiful. Happy birthday," Justin said.
"Oh, you," Jen said, giggling as Ben gave Julie a big hug and Julie gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Happy birthday, babe," Julie said as the twins got into the back of the car.
"To the arcade!" Ben said as Justin drove off.
"At least I get to celebrate some of how I wanted," Jen said as they drove off.
Kevin and Ally looked on as Tiny walked off and lifted up Kevin's car.
"Oh, come on!"
"I'll buy you a new one?" Gwen asked innocently.
At nightfall, after the Omni-Team was through celebrating and taking shifts, they snuck over to the DNAlien mine with Justin and Julie joining them as they snuck by.
"So this creature you've been babysitting," Justin asked, raising an eyebrow. "She came from a DNAlien mine?"
"Looks like it," Jen surmised.
"Well, however she got here is obviously in that mine," Julie said, getting her game face on.
"Ship, ship," Ship said in agreement.
The twins looked on to see three DNAliens talking with each other and they saw Tiny look up from behind them with a nod, catching their attention. But before they could do anything, Tiny ran up and swatted them with the power coupling like a mace.
"Whoa," Becky said, raising her eyebrows, shocked.
Tiny raised her finger to a direction.
"This way," Justin said as they all went into the direction.
The team snuck through the mine and ducked behind the rocky pillars to avoid the DNAliens looking through them before stopping at a clearing.
"Look," Ally said as they saw a giant ship in the distance.
"Looks homey," Kevin said before turning to Tiny. "Okay, guess this is goodbye then. Have a nice life."
Tiny only grunted, confused.
"Worth a shot."
The team then began sneaking their way through the mines, avoiding DNAliens once again, rushing their way to the ship.
Once they reached the opening, they saw the DNAliens working with a large machine that basically used a laser to break away debris.
Tiny raised her head and walked forwards as Ben and Jen went for their Omnitrixes and Becky prepared her crossbow, clutching at that part of her belt.
"You guys stay out here and guard the door. I'm going in," Gwen said.
"Good luck," Ben said.
"Be careful."
Gwen snuck her way into the ship and looked around, seeing nothing until she heard Tiny's grunting. She went into the opening where the grunting grew louder until she saw Tiny sitting in front of the ship's stasis pods, laying the junk she brought in from Bellwood, laying the power coupling by them.
"Oh, wait a minute. Were you inside the stasis pod?"
Tiny then looked at the two pods and felt at them, concerned.
"Your parents. I bet your parents are still inside their pods."
Unfortunately, Gwen and Tiny felt a very harsh rumbling from outside as the DNAliens continued drilling at the debris surrounding the ship.
"On my mark," the captain said as they prepared the laser.
"Gwen!" Kevin shouted.
"Let's do this," Becky said as she took the cylinder out from her belt and unfolded it into her crossbow. She looked through the scope of it as she knocked an arrow and blasted the pilot out of the laser cannon.
The twins looked at each other and nodded as Ben transformed into...
"Chromastone!"
He ran in front of the laser and absorbed its energy, protecting them.
The DNAliens took notice of this and ran forwards and leaped off of the rocky crags.
"We so do not have time for this," Jen said as she crossed her arms and transformed into her Anodite form with a shout of effort and Justin looked stunned as this was the first time he saw her like this.
"Whoa," he said, impressed. "Is it just me or do you look even prettier like this?"
"Fight now, compliment me later," Jen said as she flew forwards and stood back-to-back with her brother.
"Blast them!" Chromastone shouted as Jen shot out mana beams from her hands and her eyes with all she could as her brother blasted all the DNAliens back with ultraviolet blasts, sending them all flying back into the wall.
The twins looked to see more DNAliens running in and Kevin and Ally walked up and absorbed the metal from the ship as Justin ran in and gave a few strong punches and kicks to the DNAliens, knocking them down as Jen turned to him and smiled, widening her eyes.
"Whoa. You've got some moves," she slyly said to her boyfriend.
"I've been taking martial arts classes for a few years now," he said before backflipping and nailing a DNAlien with a roundhouse kick.
"Go get them, Ship," Julie said as Ship dissolved from his backpack form.
"Ship, ship," her Galvanic Mechamorph pet said as he jumped out and merged with the laser, blasting at the DNAliens and sending them scattering away screaming.
Kevin absorbed the metal from the ship and ran in, slamming the DNAliens down and lifting boulders from the ground and tossing them at the Highbreed's minions as his sister ran in and pulled off her kickboxing moves to send them crashing to the ground.
"Alright, who's next?!" she asked.
Becky slammed her watch and transformed into Huntress before she ran in and gave a few well-placed kicks before slamming them with her spear and she fired an explosive arrow out to send them flying back.
The mines pretty much dissolved into absolute chaos soon after with energy beams, lasers and arrows flying everywhere.
"What are they all doing down here?" Chromastone asked as Matter Girl absorbed the ground and morphed her hands into sledgehammers.
"You mean besides trying to clean our clocks?" Kevin asked.
The ship's hatched opened to reveal Tiny holding the power coupling as a DNAlien grabbed a shock rod and used it on Ship, who howled out in pain.
"Ship!" Julie asked as the Galvanic Mechamorph limped off of the laser and into her arms, digitally groaning in pain.
"Fire!" the captain said as a DNAlien ran forwards and got onto the laser, blasting it at Tiny and hitting her point blank.
"NO!" Gwen shouted.
Jen flew downwards as Chromastone absorbed the blast and she shouted out as the runic tattoos appeared on her arms and legs again and it seemed like the tendrils that made up her hair started to flicker like fire.
"Leave the kid ALONE!" she shouted as she and Chromastone combined a large mana blast and powerful ultraviolet blast, hitting the laser point blank and sending it flying away ,crashing into a mine track, destroying it.
Tiny groaned in pain to Gwen, who glared in fury to the DNAliens before she ran forwards, sending out mana disc after mana disc, sending them flying away screaming before she started ascending on mana platforms. She then blasted all of her energy beams, eyes and tattoos glowing with enhanced magic power with her hair levitating in the air, at the stalactites lining the ceiling, sending the rocky spikes crashing down to the ground, sending the DNAliens running away.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Gwen then started panting as she calmed down as Jen flew down and transformed back, panting heavily from the amount of energy she just used.
"Whoa," Kevin said.
"Something to think about the next time you get into an argument with her," Ally whispered.
"Duly noted," Becky whispered.
Inside the ship, the team gathered inside with Tiny, seeing the gathered stuff from Bellwood inside the area by the stasis pods holding her parents.
"What do you think she's doing with all that stuff?" Chromastone asked.
"When she woke up and her parents weren't around, she went outside to town and gathered tons of stuff that she thought could help."
"You mean like us?" Jen asked.
"You know, for a baby, she's pretty smart," Justin said.
Kevin stood by an open panel, working on the wires inside before they sparked out.
"I think I got the stasis pods control panel working."
"Julie," Becky asked. "If you would please?"
"Go help him, Ship."
"Ship, ship."
Ship then oozed over to the control panel and merged with the wiring on the statis pods control panels.
"Okay, now wake them up," Gwen said.
Kevin then plugged the stasis pod power in with Ship enhancing the power, causing the stasis pods to open, revealing two more aliens exactly like Tiny, only larger.
Ship demerged from the control panel as the aliens growled at the humans looking at them... only to walk past them and start cuddling with their daughter lovingly.
"Okay, didn't see that coming," Ally said. "I thought they would attack us first."
Later on, after explaining everything to Tiny's parents with their daughter still playing with the power coupling like a rattle, the father looked on, wondering.
"What do you mean this isn't Alpha Proxima?" Tiny's father asked.
"And it's not 1959?" Tiny's mother asked. "Yes, dear. I can see you."
"No. It's the year 2019," Jen explained. "In five days, it'll be 2020."
"And you're on a planet Earth," Kevin said. "We're called humans."
"Well, you're in the Earth actually," Gwen said.
"The four of us had to spend our birthday babysitting your daughter," Ben said. "Because I guess that's how life works for us."
"But what are you doing underground?" Justin asked.
"Yeah, this ship's been here before any of us were around," Julie remarked.
"We have no idea," Tiny's mother said.
"We were travelling to the other side of your galaxy to colonize in suspended animation for the journey."
"But some kind of temporal inclusion occurred when we were flying by the Earth that must have caused us to crash land here.
"In 1959," Ben realized.
"You don't think?" Ally asked.
"There was a time machine experiment that year that went horribly wrong," Jen remembered. "It must have effected your ship's engine."
"And when you crashed, your ship must have dug a hole in the ground..." Kevin began.
"That filled in and grew over after all this time," Gwen said.
"You mean we've been asleep underground for over half a century?" Tiny's father asked.
"The DNAliens weren't digging for your ship," Ben said. "They just happened to find it down here."
"Luckily for you, we were here to protect your daughter when she woke up," Gwen said.
"I can't imagine what anyone would need this much Crystal Quartz for," Tiny's father said. "Maybe a teleporter grid?"
Tiny mumbled and whimpered as she looked to see Gwen and Jen in their Anodite forms, looking on to them.
"No," Tiny's mother said. "You can't keep them."
"Because they need to roam free."
Tiny slumped down, disappointed.
"What I can't figure out is why the universal translation circuits in our Plumber's badges and the Omnitrixes didn't work on Tiny," Kevin said.
"Yeah, but we can' understand you two just fine," Ally said, raising her eyebrows.
"Our daughter can't talk yet. She's just a baby," Tiny's mother said.
"I told you so," Gwen smirked.
She walked over to Tiny, who smiled and handed the power coupling to her, only for her to struggle with lifting it.
"That's okay, Tiny," Gwen said. "You keep it."
Tiny smiled warmly at Gwen as the others looked on with approving smiles.
Back outside the mine, the team looked on with a smile as they saw a flare from the opening as the ship zoomed down the mine tracks and lifted of into the night sky.
Inside, Tiny looked on with a mumble.
"Gwen..." Tiny said.
"Oh, baby's first words," Tiny's mother said.
"I wonder what it could mean," Tiny's father wondered.
Back on Earth, Ally looked at her phone.
"We'd better get you guys home. Or you'll miss your party."
"Oh man!" Ben, Jen, Gwen and Becky all shouted.
"We almost forgot!"
They quickly filed into the vehicles nearby and drove off to the Tennyson residence.
Once they got home, they turned on the lights and that was when the inevitable...
"SURPRISE!"
...came from the entire family present.
"Happy birthday, you four!" Sandra said, cupping Ben and Jen into her arms and giving them a massive hug and kiss on the forehead.
"For all of us?" Becky asked.
"Of course," Frank said. "We figured that it's your Sweet 16 and you've celebrated separate parties for a long time now."
"So we figured we'd combine them into one this year," Lily said as Ken walked down and hugged his sisters.
"Happy birthday, girls," he said, jabbing them.
"Glad you could be here, Ken," Jen said as everyone settled down and Verdona walked over to them with a smile.
"Happy Sweet 16, my dears," she said, rubbing their heads.
"Oh, Grandma. You shouldn't have."
"No, I really should have considering that I missed all of your birthdays beforehand. I've been a pretty lousy grandmother, haven't I?"
"Yeah, you really have," Kevin chuckled before Ally jabbed him harshly.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world, babe," Julie said, kissing Ben on his cheek, causing him to blush.
"So, who wants cake!" Ally asked as she looked to the cake on the counter, causing the birthday kids' eyes to widen sharply. "Red velvet, your favorite."
"Oh, Ally! When did you make this?"
"During your shift to babysit Tiny."
"Who's Tiny?" Carl asked.
"It's a long story, Dad," Jen said as Emma walked up and handed her and Ben a gift each.
"Happy birthday, big brother and sister," she said warmly as Jen picked her up and hugged her.
"Thanks so much, little sis," Jen said as she picked the gifts as Carl cut the cake and then unwrapped it. "No way! A $100 gift card to AMC Theaters?!"
"And you got us a PS4, Emma?!"
"Sure did. Though she had some help," Justin said. "It counts as both of our gifts."
"Awesome!" Jen said.
"Our gifts are still in the shop," Kevin said as Ally smiled.
"You're gonna love them when they're ready."
Gwen and Becky looked to see Ken's gift and Gwen opened her's to see...
"Wow," Gwen smiled. "A video collection on how-to..."
"For every martial art available in the series," Ken said.
"And you got me an XBOX One?" Becky asked.
"I figured you'd want it," Ken said with a smile.
About an hour later at midnight with the party still in full swing and everyone having had cake, everyone was having a great time... up until a glowing light appeared in the middle of the room and suddenly, a portal came into existence, causing everyone present to shield their eyes as three silhouettes appeared from the gateway, leaving everyone stunned as a pale white alicorn with a regal dress, horseshoes and a tiara and long flowing mane in pastel green, pink and blue colors, a woman in a golden crown and armor with a fur pelt at her belt and a larger figure with pink skin, light pink hair like cotton candy, pompoms on her shoes and a bright pink dress with a diamond gemstone attached to her naval stepped out of the portal, revealing themselves to everyone as the alicorn stepped forward with a knowing glance.
"Ben and Jen Tennyson?" she asked as everyone but the twins stepped back, unsure of what was happening as Jen nodded.
"Yeah?"
"I am Princess Celestia of Equestria."
"I am Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons."
"And I am Pink Diamond of the Crystal Gems."
"We are the leaders of the Protectors," Celestia said to her.
"The same Protectors that..." Ben began as a fourth figure in a regal red dress and crown walked out of the portal and revealed herself as the Omni-Team's old friend and guardian, the Scarlet Warrior, or Scarlett.
"The very same," Hippolyta said as Scarlett smiled.
"You must be the family," she said as she shook Carl and Sandra's hands with a smile. "Hi. I'm Queen Scarlett of Cinnibar."
"Clever to meet you... Your Highness," Carl said.
"No formalities between us. My friends just call me Scarlett. You can call me your daughter's guardian angel. Oh, and your son too."
"Nice to meet you," Sandra said as Scarlett turned and smiled to Jen.
"Happy birthday, you four," she said as Gwen and Becky smiled. "It's great to see you guys again."
"Always lovely to see you, Scarlett."
"We need to talk. In a more appropriate place than this," Hippolyta said, gesturing to the portal. "It has a great concern with your daughter."
"What about me?"
"It's complicated, little one. You see, you have a great destiny," Celestia said. "One that comes before your entire family's history."
"In fact," Pink Diamond piped up. "The only one who may have some knowledge of it is your grandmother."
Verdona stepped up with a nod.
"You know what we're talking about, no?" Scarlett asked.
"Yes, I do. You six had better go with these guys."
"Why?" Kevin asked.
"It's kind of necessary because it involves a great story. One that involves you, Jennifer. And your team needs to know as well."
"And me?" Justin asked.
"She'll tell you everything when she gets back," Celestia said.
"Let us go," Scarlett said. "Say, my dimension?"
"At once," Pink Diamond bowed her head as they walked through the portal as the Omni-Team looked on.
"Go," Carl said.
"We'll support you whatever you do," Sandra smiled, kissing Jen on the cheek as the six teens nodded and walked through the portal back to the Protector's Headquarters.
