The twins shot awake as they looked to see their grandmother and their guardian healing their wounds, surrounding them in a pink and red aura and they looked up to see the Highbreed fleet in the sky, seeing hundreds of ships filling the air.
"Oh no," Jen whimpered as Verdona took her shoulders and the others looked on as DNAliens filled the installation again.
"It's... over!" Ladybug gasped.
"We failed!" Rosie exclaimed.
"Lori, get back to Royal Woods. Let our friends know about their impending doom," Cybergirl said.
"No. We're in this together. Until the end," Speed Queen said, bracing herself.
"Then I'm glad we're not dying as enemies tonight."
Beast glared as she bared her mechanical claws beside Huntress as she twirled her spear in preparation.
"If we're gonna go down, we're going down fighting!" Huntress said, sticking her spear out towards the DNAliens.
"I hear that!" Beast said as Tongri moved in by her side and growled savagely at the Armada above.
The Omni-Team along with Ladybug, Chat Noir, Firecracker and Surge ran or flew down to the crater as the twins recovered.
"We're too late," Lucky Girl said.
"No. It's never too late," Ben said. "We need a new plan."
The twins then looked to their sides as their friends glared.
"Well, oh great leaders?" Absorber asked.
"We're working on it!" Jen said.
"Gee, that's reassuring," Huntress said with a leer.
"That's it!" Ben said. "We're going to break into the control room and force the Highbreed Commander to make the armada retreat!"
"Brilliant!" Jen said.
Everyone only stared as Darkstar sighed.
"That's your big plan?"
"Hey, how many times have we beaten you?" Ben asked.
"Twice. But just at this moment, I can't imagine how."
"The main control tower will be the most heavily guarded building in the city," Azmuth stated.
"Precisely my point," Darkstar said.
"How are we going to get inside?" Ladybug asked.
"Leave that to us," Matter Girl said as the twins reactivated their Omni-Suits.
The team got into Absorber's car and Matter Girl got onto her bike and revved it up as Firecracker, Surge, Ladybug and Chat Noir got ready to swoop into the building beside them while the rest of the alliance were fighting off DNAliens and Highbreed on the ground beside them, blasts of every different kind soaring through the air above them as Speed Queen, Antelope and Dragonfly zoomed by them in every direction, swatting down everything by them.v
"We're going to drive to the control tower?" Lucky Girl asked.
"Uh-huh," Absorber said as he and his sister pressed a button on their vehicles and they started shifting into more powerful, technologically advanced versions as Ally rolled her fist in excitement.
"When did you get all this stuff?" Omni-Green asked.
"When didn't we?" Matter Girl asked.
"Every time we found alien tech on our missions and tossed it in the trunk, whenever we had free time at headquarters..."
"You work on the car and bike," Huntress said as Scarlett ran up by them and nodded.
"Yep."
"Okay," the warrior queen said as she pressed the button on her Enchantlet.
"You rang?" Celestia asked her.
"Send in the Scarlet Army to Los Soledad."
"At once. Stephen, Twilight? If you would please."
Scarlett looked through the air to see several portals forming and the heroes looked on to see several figures walking through, some of them familiar to the Omni-Team (or the video game fans among the alliance.) (A/N: Look at my profile page for information on who's here)
"You guys ready for this?"
"Pumped," Korra said, slamming her fists together as Scarlett saw the generic soldiers of her royal guard here too as they slammed their spears against the ground.
"We need to clear a path to the control tower. I called you here because we don't have enough numbers."
"Can do," Raiden said, unsheathing his high-frequency blade.
"Remember. You can kill the Highbreed, not the DNAliens."
"Of course," Kratos said. "They're all still human underneath from what you told us."
"Ready?" Ryu asked the soldiers as he unsheathed his Dragon Sword.
"CHARGE!" Scarlett commanded as the Scarlet Army all charged out of the portals and joined in the battle as Korra lifted two large boulders up and slammed them into two Highbreed Warships above as Ryu and Raiden ran by a tank and sliced it to ribbons with their blades, not wasting any time battling the foot soldiers on the ground.
Scarlett shook her head in pride and ran alongside Absorber's car as it drove down the snow-covered road with Ladybug and Chat Noir swinging across the rooftops and Firecracker and Surge flying alongside it.
A huge horde of DNAliens appeared, blocking their path and they were blasted back as Tabby ran in and played a power chord on her axe that knocked them back as Kevin blasted missiles from the roof of his car and Eagle Eye, Honeybee and Cybergirl appeared and blasted everything they had at the DNAliens, knocking them all out just as a large truck blocked their path again.
"You're not stopping, are you?" Omni-Pink asked.
"Nope."
Firecracker and Surge and Matter Girl blasted fireballs and energy blasts at the truck (the latter firing energy blasts from her bike), destroying it as Lucky Girl and Omni-Pink gasped and surrounded the group in a mana force field as the car leaped forwards, blocking the large flames before landing on the ground, sending the Anodites back with a groan.
"And this is why we always wear our seat belts!" Omni-Green shouted
The armada started blasting lasers down at them as a large demonic creature summoned by Bayonetta appeared and swiped at the ships, destroying quite a few of them and sending them crashing down, sending creatures scattering.
Matter Girl blasted a missile into a military building, destroying it as they drove/ran in for shelter as a horde of DNAliens appeared to stop them, before getting violently shocked by Cole and Amplifier's lightning as Cole gave a salute to Scarlett, who smiled in appreciation as they ran through.
"Get to the control tower!"
The group avoided all the laser blasts as they saw the warriors and heroes clashing with the DNAliens and the Highbreed either on the ground or in the air.
"Alright," Ladybug said as she landed along with her boyfriend. "What's the plan?"
"We get to the control room," Omni-Green said. "Then we fight."
"I was afraid you were going to say that," Absorber said as he and his sister activated the auto attack functions on their vehicles, sending the car and bike driving off as Scarlett saw Alita and Ryu back-to-back, slicing and dodging every swipe and blast that came near them as Alita handled the Damascus Blade in her hands and backflipped, kicking off a building as she sliced a DNAlien carrier in two, sending the pilot crashing down as he was hit by one of Cooper's blasters as Ryu used his Ninpo Dragon technique to send tons of Highbreed invaders into his fiery dragon and burn them alive with a mighty chomp!
"These guys have it handled out here," Surge said as she and her boyfriend flew in the air as all the others ran forwards up the steps with a mighty battle cry as laser blasts came near them as Scarlett used her shield to protect them with Ladybug and Chat Noir using their shield techniques to stop the blasts as well.
"Bismuth!" Scarlett shouted.
"On it!" came a voice from down beneath them as a violet-skinned alien creature with rainbow dreadlocked hair and a black apron with a star tattoo on her right arm waled in with sensors strapped to her arms and legs with a gigantic blue and white robot next to her following her every movement as she swiped at the Highbreed ships above them and blasted missiles from the robot's wrists, blasting away with a shout of effort.
Kevin and Ally looked on to see their vehicles fired upon by the enemy as Parkour was swatted into a building before she shouted out and tossed a huge boulder at a Highbreed, sending him crashing down.
"Get off our planet!" Shadow Mistress shouted as she and Corbeau Noire battled together with their shadowy powers.
"Kevin, Ally, come on!" Lucky Girl shouted as they ran up the steps to the tower.
"I'm gonna miss that car," Absorber sighed.
"Me too."
The team continued running up the steps, starting to get tired.
"The Highbreed have an entire armada of star ships but they haven't invented the elevator?" Huntress asked, sweat brimming her brow.
The team eventually arrived at the top of the control room as Kevin absorbed the rocky door as the twins nodded.
"It's hero time!" they shouted together as they slammed their Omnitrixes, transforming into...
"Swampfire!"
"Rockette!"
"Cataclysm!" Chat Noir shouted out as he slammed his glowing fist against the door, causing it to crumble almost instantly as he dusted his clawed glove off.
In the control room, the Highbreed and DNAliens were hard at work when they discovered the doorway crumble and the Omni-Team, plus the leaders of the Miraculous Team and L-Crew along with the Scarlett Warrior come in as Rockette spun her guitar pick.
"Heeeere's Jenny!" she shouted.
"Tennyson! That is you isn't it?" the Highbreed Commander asked. "Oh, never species never mattered to me."
"Yeah, yeah," Swampfire said as the team bared their powers and weapons. "You're all superior and pure-blooded. We're all maggots. We don't have time for that today."
"You're going to wish you never entered our planet!" Ladybug shouted, spinning her yo-yo rapidly.
"Yeah, what she said!" Firecracker said, his hands enveloped in flame.
"Do not mock me, Tennyson twins. You will die along with the rest of your insignificant race or slowly at my hands."
"Or, we were thinking not at all!" the twins shouted in unison as Scarlett walked forwards and spun her sword in hand.
"You can either call off the invasion or you can die screaming alongside the humans you slaughter!" Scarlett shouted, showing her savagery.
"Enough of this," he said. "Destroy the others. Leave the Tennyson twins to me!"
The DNAliens snarled and ran forwards at the team, who dodged as Ladybug swatted them away with her yo-yo, using her sixth sense to sense the others coming near her as she kicked them to Lucky Girl, who kicked them and chopped them away with her martial arts skills into Surge, who nailed them with energy blasts.
CHat Noir hit several with his staff into Absorber and Matter Girl, who used their enhanced strength to hit the creatures into Firecracker's flaming fists as Swampfire and Rockette ran forwards to the Highbreed Commander, who slammed his fist into Swampfire, nailing through his head.
"NO!" Huntress shouted, just as she fired a bola arrow out that ensnared a DNAlien's feet.
Rockette shouted out and played a wicked solo to the Highbreed Commander, who only swiped away every blast sent at him as he roared towards her and grabbed her throat as Swampfire transformed back and was out on the ground, unconscious.
"And so it ends," the Highbreed Commander said. "Just as your grandfather met his demise trying to defeat me, so you two will fall at my hands as well."
"Yeah, kind of mad now," Omni-Green groaned as he turned into Four Arms and laid the smackdown on the Highbreed holding his sister.
He then leaped down from the rafters as Lucky Girl created a shield to protect herself as Matter Girl ran in and swatted with her metal hammer feet, sending the creature flying into a machine, destroying it.
Huntress ran in with her spear, just as she was grabbed by the throat by the alien warlord before her, groaning as she held at her throat, starting to suffocate.
"No!" Absorber shouted as he ran in, only for the Commander to grab him, dsetroying part of his armor and slamming him into another machine, causing an explosion that sent him crashing back, dazed.
"Leave him alone! Your business is with me and my brother!" Rockette shouted as she transformed back, generating a powerful forcefield around her.
"Very well. I was nearly done here anyway.
Jen was struggling as the Highbreed smashed away at her forcefield that she was in as the Highbreed approached her and Scarlett looked at her with pleading eyes as she defeated all the DNAliens that went near her with her expertise in magic and fighting as she was struggling to stay up.
"Who are you?!" she asked as Jen turned to her guardian and widened her eyes. "Are you human? Are you an extraterrestrial life form who turns her back on lesser beings?"
Four Arms ran up to he brawled with the Highbreed and then transformed into Heatblast and blasted him with fire as the other heroes present struggled in their duel.
"Are you only the legend?" Scarlett continued as Jen closed her eyes and started focusing, a glare present on her face. "Or are you the truth behind the legend? We believe in you. We have faith in you! Have faith in yourself!"
"You cannot stop me, vermin! Or perhaps I'll destroy your friends first to weaken you?!"
Jen's eyes started to glow violently as she morphed into her Anodite form as her mana pulsed uncontrollably as her teammates, Firecracker, Surge, Ladybug and Chat Noir started to shield their eyes from the brilliant light shining.
"Remember the girl who you are!" Scarlett said, not flinching. "Remember the deeds you've performed! Everything you've accomplished!"
"Now, tell me!" Scarlett shouted, losing all her restraint. "WHO. ARE. YOU?!"
"I AM JEN TENNYSON! THE MASTER SPARK!" Jen shouted as she let loose a massive surge of mana and her Anodite form began to change before their very eyes into something beautiful and deadly.
She shouted out as her clothes shifted colors into a violet form with pink linings and the runic lines completed themselves on her arms and legs, her hair shifting into one form before it suddenly ignited into a flurry of brilliant magenta flames. She shouted out in fury as she doubled over and large flaming wings burst out of her back before flapping on their own.
Everyone looked on in awe, except Scarlett, who looked on in pride as Heatblast changed back to human and looked at his Omnitrix, looking at the new symbol on it.
"Scanning complete. Anodite DNA sample acquired and ready for transformation."
"Oh, my gosh," Firecracker said as they looked at the deity before them.
"She's... she's..." Chat Noir said, eyes widening.
"Gorgeous!" Ladybug said.
"Powerful!" Surge said.
"The prophecy is nigh," Scarlett smiled as she looked at Jen, who looked at herself and shouted out, blasting the Highbreed Commander with mana fire as she shouted out in fury and flew out of the window, laying waste to several warships by blasting them with all powerful mana blasts, showing her clear fury.
Ben looked on in awe as he flashed back and remembered his second vision from five years ago that had come to pass now.
"That's the second vision I've had and the second that's come true. Maybe they really are meant to happen."
"I think she may have lost it," Kevin groaned out as Huntress propped herself up on her spear.
"The Protectors were right. She is the Master Spark."
As Jen continued her assault on the armada as the others fighting below looked impressed the Highbreed grabbed Huntress by the throat and she struggled.
"Let her go!" Lucky Girl said, her eyes glowing pink.
Everyone looked to the redhead as her form too melted away and revealed the Anodite beneath. She had deep purple skin, like her cousin, long hair in glowing mana tendrils her glowing pink eyes. Her wore a blue cat-like mask mask, blue gloves a dark blue fight-shirt with her Lucky Girl logo on it with a light purple jacket over it that cuts off and revealed her midriff and naval. She also had blue heeled boots, a dark blue miniskirt with a light blue stripe and a belt.
"Whoa," Matter Girl said as Lucky Girl blasted away at the Highbreed Commander, freeing her sister, who fell into her arms as they looked to see Jen flying around at hypersonic speeds like a phoenix, impressed and disturbed at the same time as she flew around with a shout of fury then back to Lucky Girl, who levitated the Highbreed in her telekinesis and then blasted him away with a fireblast as Surge and Chat Noir landed a dual strike at him, sending him crashing back down into the snowy ground below.
"Gwen, no!" Absorber said as Jen groaned out and felt at her head as she flew back to the tower, feeling her newfound power start to burn out as she flew back to her brother and Scarlett as she blasted out a few more blasts of fire.
"So much power!" Lucky Girl shouted, her voice echoing.
"Gwen, listen to us," Huntress said. "You've got to shut this down."
"No. I think Jen and I can defeat the Highbreed all by ourselves."
"Your grandmother said it would take at least 75 years for you guys to master that power!" Matter Girl said.
"We don't have 75 years!" Jen shouted as she blasted a few more DNAlien tanks apart with her power.
"You won't remember Ben or me or any of us!" Huntress said, grabbing her sister's shoulders. "You'll lose your humanity!"
"We're going to find another way to win," Matter Girl promised. "Together."
"You've got to come back to me, Gwen," Absorber said. "I can't lose you. Okay?"
Jen groaned out as her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell to the floor, depleted as her Anodite form melted back to its standard state before she morphed back to human, passed out completely and out of her Omni-Suit. "Oh. That's going to take a lot of getting used to," she groaned out, clearly tired beyond belief.
Ben looked as a strand of her hair started glowing as it turned pink from the roots down to the tips, accentuating her beauty as Gwen powered down and fell into her sister's arms.
"Okay."
Scarlett went up to her charge and helped her up onto her feet, struggling to stay up from the sheer amount of power she had just wasted as Ben looked at the new form in his watch.
"You two may have to worry about losing your humanity when you go Anodite. But I don't!" he said as he adjusted the dial on his Omnitrix and transformed.
His skin turned a deep dark pink while also morphing his clothing into a green and black bodysuit that covered his body except for his arms and head, which was enveloped completely in magenta flames with the Omnitrix symbol adorning his chest as he floated in the air and crossed his arms out, shouting out as Verdona floated up to see what had happened to her grandchildren and smiling with pride at what they had just accomplished.
"Lifeforce!" he shouted as the others looked at him and smiled.
"Okay, young man. You're joining your sister and your cousin in training. But only with that form... faker."
"Fair enough, I guess," Lifeforce smirked as she walked over to Jen, noticing the pink streak now in her brunette hair as she swept it behind her ear.
"And as for you, young lady, the Master Spark form is something I can't help you with. You're going to have to get control of that on your own."
"Okay, Grandma," Jen said, hugging her grandmother, who smiled on all her grandchildren with the proudest warm smile.
"But we start training with your Anodite forms starting tomorrow."
"Done," Gwen and Jen said simultaneously.
"I'm so proud of you. Of all of you. And you know it."
"We do," Huntress said as she hugged Verdona along with Jen, Ben and Gwen, as the Anodite hugged them back.
That was about the point that the Highbreed Commander climbed back up into the control room as Lifeforce glared his glowing green eyes.
"You are finished, insects!"
"Not yet, we're not!" Firecracker said as he, Scarlett and Surge blasted a fire stream, an ice blast and an energy blast that hit the Commander point-blank as Lifeforce, Jen, Gwen and Verdona blasted forth with a quadruple mana blast, instantly weakening him completely as he hit the ground.
"Okay, now we're finished," Lifeforce smiled.
"And as soon as you give the order, the whole invasion is over," Jen smiled.
The Highbreed Commander chuckled loudly at the small group of heroes in front of him.
"You think this is funny?!" Firecracker asked.
"I do not have the authority to call off the invasion. Only the Highbreed Supreme could end the attack. And he is beyond your reach. Safe on the home world."
"Then I'm afraid you're of no use to us!" Scarlett said as she shouted out in fury as she quickly swung her sword down with a cry of effort, severing the Highbreed Commander's head from his body as it fell limp to the floor, instantly dead, purple blood spilling everywhere as she panted out and flicked her wrist, flicking the blood off the blade.
"Whoa," Ronnie Anne said. "Remind me never to get her angry."
"It's alright," Scarlett said. "I never had any intention of letting him live anyway. He was going to eradicate your entire planet. That's more than worthy of the death penalty, is it not?"
"No," Surge said.
"Good answer," Scarlett said with a nod.
"Besides, it's not our first alien invasion," Firecracker said. "And it probably won't be our last."
"At least things can't get any worse," Ladybug said.
As soon as she said that, tons of DNAliens ran forwards and looked at the headless corpse of their leader and growled angrily.
"Oh man!" Jen said, transforming into Kung Fang and baring her swords as Scarlett stood next to her.
"I'll try holding them back with a shield," Gwen said. "Maybe we can-"
"You don't have to!" a familiar voice cried out and they turned to see Manny as he mowed through the DNAliens with his intense strength and his blasters.
"Stand aside, alien freaks! You're in my way!"
"Manny!" Huntress smiled.
"Hey, guys!"
Then, a blue and green blur zoomed by to reveal Helen as she collected all the DNAliens' blasters and dropped them to the ground, lifting her visor as Pierce flipped through the air and tossed his spikes down to destroy them while Simon collected them all in his mech's extendable arms and Firecracker and Ladybug blasted them all, turning them back to human and they fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Helen? Pierce? Simon?" Lifeforce asked.
"But that means-" Kung Fang began.
"How's it going kids?"
Everyone looked up to see Max fly in on a Null Guardian as he smiled down at them and then looked extremely surprised to see the Anodite in the room and he got off of his mount and they walked up to each other.
"Max," Verdona said with a chuckle as Max looked to her.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it, Verdona?" Max asked as his ex-girlfriend chuckled.
"It certainly has. I still haven't gotten over you running off with that Uroxite though."
The two old lovers then smiled and embraced, hugging each other with all the care in the world, before Verdona slapped him across the cheek.
"I kinda had that coming," he sighed.
"I thought you were dead, you asshole!" Verdona scolded jokingly.
"So did they."
Kung Fang and Lifeforce coughed as they turned to Ladybug and Chat Noir.
"Marinette, Adrien, this is our Grandpa Max," Lifeforce said as the two French heroes shook hands.
"Nice to meet you. I hear you have a thing for Hawaiian shirts," Chat Noir joked as Max smiled.
"Grandpa Max!" Lucky Girl said as the twins transformed back and the kids all hugged their grandfather.
"And Max-Force!" Manny shouted.
"What did I say about calling us that?"
"I think it sounds cool."
"I liked it," Simon said, raising his hand.
"What are you doing here? We thought you were going to stay in the Null Void until you cleaned it up?" Huntress asked.
"Pretty much covered all the work there. Anyway, I figured after all the work I put into uncovering the Highbreed conspiracy, there is no way I'm sitting out the final battle."
He looked down to see the Highbreed Commander's corpse.
"And I see you already made a lot of progress."
"That was me," Scarlett admitted. "He didn't deserve to live anyway."
"It may already be too late, Max," Xylene said as she hovered up into the control room with Azmuth in tow.
"Xylene?"
"Hey," Verdona sighed as Xylene shook her hand and hugged Max, rolling her eyes.
"The Highbreed fleet will uncloak and destroy the Earth in less than one hour," Xylene said.
"And we don't even have a plan," Absorber said.
"Actually, I think we might," Jen said.
"The hyperspace jump gate is like a portal from the Highbreed homeworld to here, right?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, so?"
"So a door out is also a door in," Jen realized.
"Hey, Gwen? Got your phone?"
"Sure, why?" Lucky Girl asked.
Outside, the battle raged on with Scarlett's soldiers doing all they could to slaughter the Highbreed that got near them while the native heroes blasted the DNAliens.
Ryker ducked and slid in the snow, blasting two of Cooper's blasters to destroy all the DNAliens before he lassoed a Highbreed as Kratos ran in and used his battle axe to bisect him vertically, the cowboy smiling as he tipped his hat.
Suddenly, Julie's phone rang as she blasted away as Professor Paradox turned to her.
"Aren't you going to answer that? It's important."
"Hello?" Julie asked, picking up her phone. "Gotcha, Gwen."
"I told you," Paradox said, teleporting away.
"We're all set."
"Can you guys hold the line up here?" Matter Girl asked.
"You mean keep them from retaking the control room?" Firecracker asked.
"Consider it done," Ladybug said, pounding the pyromancer's fist.
Ben walked out to the broken window.
"Where are you going?" Helen asked.
"Just stepping out for a bit," Ben said, stepping out casually.
"Ben!" Verdona shouted.
But Ben then rose up again, standing on...
"SHIP!"
"Hey, team? You guys coming?" Ben asked as the others all ran up onto the Galvanic Mechamorph.
The team went inside and looked forwards to see a swarm of heavy machinery blocking the hyperspace jump gate only to be scorched and destroyed where they stood. Everyone looked up to see a large green dragon that some recognized as Wildgirl flying above and blasting her fire breath at the DNAliens artillery below.
"Guys, go! Now's your chance!" Wildgirl roared.
Ben grabbed Ship's controls and then they flew forwards through the sky as Justin and Julie blasted away at the approaching DNAliens and looked to see their others in the air.
"There they go!" Julie said. "Careful, Ben."
"Do this for us, Jen!" Justin said.
"Bout time I got to drive," Omni-Green smiled as Absorber turned to Azmuth in the other seat.
"I'm still trying to understand what old bug eyes is doing here."
"If you're refering to me, surely you didn't think I'd eave my Omnitrixes unattended, did you?"
"The twins care about you too," Huntress said.
"I'm only concerned with the Omnitrixes, not the twins."
"Sure you do," Scarlett said as she pressed her badge to her ear. "Caitlyn, we've got a few bogeys on us. Take care of them."
"On it," Caitlyn said from her high perch as she activated her rifle and aimed carefully, blasting away at the small enemy ships following Ship, sending them crashing to the ground.
"Jump gate coming up," Jen said. "It's time to change into the flight suits."
The twins slammed down on their Omnitrixes, transforming into...
"Grey Matter!"
"Brainstorm!"
Jen's Cerebrocrustacean form had an amber-colored exoskeleton and thinner claws and six legs instead of four compared to her brother's and she walked up to the controls and started working with him on piloting Ship.
"Keep your distance, Becky," she told herself, rushing to the back of the ship with Scarlett.
"What?"
"It's nothing," Becky said. "It's just that I'm extremely allergic to shellfish and I can't be around Cerebrocrustaceans."
"Ah, that makes sense," Azmuth said.
"With my oversized cranium and intellectual superiority that naturally follows from it, this is obviously the correct form to pilot this vehicle under these trying conditions."
"Which is exactly why I should pilot Ship," Azmuth said as Brianstorm giggled.
"Sis, are you inferring that you're smarter than us because your head is bigger?" Grey Matter asked, pulling on a lever.
"No, brother. I'm implying that I'm smarter than you because my brain is bigger."
"Here's your chance to prove it," Matter Girl said, tapping on Brainstorm's shell. "INCOMING!"
The team screamed in terror as Scarlett fell into the back of Ship, hurt and fell to the ground as they avoided the lasers from the Highbreed warships as she pressed her hands against the ground and surrounded Ship in a red forcefield, protecting everyone within.
The lasers bounced off of the forcefield (barely) and deflected back into the warships, sending them crashing to the ground.
"Kratos!" she groaned as she pressed the badge. "Get Bismuth to toss you!"
Bismuth nodded and reached her hand down to Kratos, causing her robot to grab him as well and she shouted out and tossed him to the Warship on Ship as he pulled out his Blade of Olympus and he sliced horizontally around its side on the ascent and descent, destroying it in a fiery blast as he fell to the ground.
"Prepare yourselves. The jump gate can be disconcerting," Azmuth warned.
"How does it work?" Huntress asked.
"It converts you into faster than light tachiyons-" Azmuth began.
"Broadcasts them to the receiver gate on the opposite side of the galaxy," Brainstorm continued.
"Then reconstitutes you," Grey Matter finished.
"Brace yourselves!" Lucky Girl shouted as Ship flew into the gate.
Everyone inside the ship felt their bodies being distorted as Lucky Girl moved her hand in front of her face, distorted going at faster-than-light speed.
"Ooh. That's cool."
The team finally flew out on the other side of the gate.
"We've arrived on the Highbreed homeworld."
"Is everyone okay?" Huntress asked.
"Oh, I don't feel so good," Brainstorm said before she blew chunks all over Azmuth. "Oh, my dear fellow. Sincerest apologies!"
Azmuth only looked on at the twins in disgust before everyone onboard felt a jolt in the back and gasped in horror.
"SHIP!"
"We've been hit!" Absorber shouted as Lucky Girl fell into his arms and they both blushed harshly.
"Try to get us to the High Council Building. It's the tall one over there."
Brainstorm and Grey Matter flew Ship forwards as it flew through the area, avoiding the structures around them as Grey Matter turned to everyone and gasped.
"Brace yourselves!"
Everyone got a worried look and held their heads as Ship crashed into the High Council Building and came to a skidding stop and opened the door on his side, a flash of green and pink light flashing out as Ben and Jen stumbled outwards, no longer wearing their suits as the Omnitrixes had entered recharge mode.
The pair of them stumbled out of the door and hit the ground, unconscious as Highbreed surrounded them and Ship.
A few minutes later, the twins came to and saw their teammates, Azmuth and Scarlett bound by their wrists and legs to a few slabs of rock. They tried moving only to see the same happened to them.
"Where are we?" Ben asked.
"A bunch of Highbreed guards caught us right after we crashed," Kevin groaned.
"The good news is we made it to the Highbreed's headquarters," Becky said as Scarlett groaned.
"If those guys think this thing can hold me..." she said... just before she was violently shocked by her manacles as she tried to activate their powers. "...they might be onto something."
"Wow," Ally said to the warrior queen in front of her. "This must be pretty embarrassing for you, Scarlett."
"You have no idea."
"If we could just reach our Omnitrixes..." Jen said, clasping her hands.
"Who said you had to reach them?" Azmuth asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, right. Omnitrix, Humungousaur!"
"Omnitrix, Four Arms!"
The Omnitrixes changed the twins into their Vaxasaurian and Tetramand forms as Humungousaur roared intensely and Four Arms smashed the rocks apart with a smile and Humungousaur broke the chains away.
Kevin absorbed the metal ground and broke away Azmuth's clamp and Becky freed Scarlett with a knife from her belt.
"Now what?" Lucky Girl asked as Humungousaur smashed the wall into two Highbreed guards and the team ran out and looked into a giant meeting hall with dozens of Highbreed guards with weapons of all kinds as the twins looked to each other.
"We're not strong enough to handle them," Ally said.
Four Arms looked to her brother and smiled.
"But we are."
"You guys had better stand back. We've got this," Humungousaur said, transforming into Echo Echo and splitting himself as Scarlett laid a hand back. "With the Master Control, we can take these guys."
"Don't worry. I'll protect you from any Highbreed who get too close."
"Hey, Ally," Four Arms said, cracking her knuckles. "What day is it today?"
"Saturday," Ally said, whipping her phone out with a smile.
"Do it!" Echo Echo shouted.
Ally smiled and pressed the button on her phone, blaring out the music.
*Battle Music: Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting*
Echo Echo split himself into twenty copies and blasted three Highbreed guards with a powerful Wall of Sound attack, causing them to scream out as they fell to the ground, unconscious as Four Arms grabbed one of them and tossed them into another Highbreed with a roar as another one swung a blade at her.
Four Arms eeped and morphed into Frostblight and used her tiny size to her advantage, freezing one with her ice breath before she morphed into Titanosaurus and slammed him away with her tail.
Echo Echo morphed into Wildvine and tossed out a few of his seed bombs from his back as Titanosaurus morphed into Inferno (the new name for her Pyronite form) (A/N: Thanks, Bright on Ideas) and detonated them with a few fireballs, sending the Hihgbreed guards scattering away with a shout as Wildvine morphed into Lifeforce and blasted away with his mana blasts, sending them scattering.
A Highbreed blasted a powerful cannon at them as Inferno gasped and morphed into Chromastone and let the blast hit her before she unleashed an ultraviolet blast from her chest, blasting him into the wall, unconscious. She then closed her eye and morphed into...
"VLOCT!" the Kineceleran shouted as she zoomed off and slammed into several of the Highbreed with a shout of effort, knocking them all back.
"Ooh, nice new name," Lifeforce smiled as he blocked a blast with a forcefield and morphed into Frankenstrike, shocking all the DNAliens in his path.
"Hey, I don't want to be in your shadow, bro!" VLOCT said as she morphed into Kung Fang while jumping forwards as she let loose a flurry of katana strikes, becoming a tornado of blades as Azmuth looked on at the twins, impressed as they rapidly transformed, knocking out all the Highbreed that got near them and smiled.
"Well, Azmuth?" Scarlett asked. "How does it feel to be proven wrong?"
"Not good," Azmuth said. "When the Protectors are right, they're right. These two have clearly proven through this war that they're ready for the Master Control."
"Ready to finish this, sis?" Frankenstrike said as he slapped his Omnitrix symbol and transformed into Heatblast.
"Born ready."
She slapped her Omnitrix symbol and transformed into Stinkbomb and lifted her tail up, smirking as Heatblast lit up a flame in his hand.
Stinkbomb shouted out as she let loose a cloud of toxic fumes from her posterior, filling the room with gas as Heatblast fired a small fireball at it, instantly igniting the fumes and causing a huge explosion that the twins ducked down and covered from, falling to the ground in a large heap as the twins transformed back and high-fived, smiling widely as Gwen walked up to a Highbreed guard and smiled, lighting her hand up in mana.
"Hi there. Take us to your leader," she mocked.
The door to the High Council room suddenly had a broadsword slice right into it before travelling around before it flew off of its hinges as the team filed in as Scarlett sheathed her sword with a glare as they all stared up to the giant Highbreed before them, the twins transforming back.
"Who dares?" the Highbreed Supreme asked.
"I believe we do," Jen said, smiling as a Highbreed Guard was tossed by Matter Girl into the room with a savage look on her face.
"I'm sorry, Master," the guard said. "They took us by surprise and-"
"Save it," the Highbreed Supreme said, holding a hand up, prompting the guard to leave.
"You are the Earth vermin Ben and Jen 10."
"Ben and Jen Tennyson, that is correct," Ben said. "You're the Highbreed top banana, right?"
"I've read reports of your tenacity, but truly your gall exceeds all description."
"Thanks, I guess," Jen said, fingering her hair, staring at the pink streak now adorning it. "We want you to call off the attack on our planet."
"Just like that?"
"Yeah, pretty much," Ben said. "What do you creeps have to gain by hurting us? What did we ever do to you?"
"You are mongrels. Inferior life forms. Your very existence is an affront to our authority."
"Can we dispense with these lies?" Azmuth asked.
"What can this be of dishonesty. Your race is the Galvan, correct? A slightly more intelligent form? A pond scum?"
"Do not be fooled by his posture, Ben and Jen," Scarlett said, drawing her sword and Keyblade out with an angry look on her face. "Enemies aren't always what they appear to be."
"They aren't attacking because of their supposed superiority, they're attacking because they're dying out."
"Wait, what?!" Becky asked.
"Their ridiculous belief in racial purity led to inbreeding, a loss of resistance to disease and finally sterility. This is the last generation of Highbreeds, is it not?"
"You are correct, vermin. But we will not perish alone."
Everyone looked up to see the hero's alliance fighting off the Highbreed and DNAliens with all of their might as the Armada hovered overhead.
"In a matter of hours, my fleet will destroy not only Earth, but every other inhabited planet in this galaxy. The fall of Galvan Prime is the signal for our final attack to begin. Enjoy the view. You eight are about to witness the fall of all life in the universe."
"All is lost," Azmuth said. "They are far too powerful to fight."
Ben and Jen bowed their heads before Ben looked to his sister and smirked, Jen looking back up with a smirk.
"But why fight them when we can help them?" Ben said.
"Omnitrix," Jen said to the pink alien watch on her wrist. "Can you repair the genetic damage done to the Highbreed?"
"All of them?"
"Yes," Jen's Omnitrix said. "However, genetic manipulation on that scale will require all remaining available power."
"Just do it," Ben said.
"Genetic recombination sequence is ready."
"What are you doing?" the Highbreed Supreme asked.
"Wait for it..." Jen said before she and her brother raised their wrists and the Omnitrixes let out a brilliant flash of green and pink light that spread all throughout the universe in a matter of moments.
Everyone fighting in Los Soledad took notice of the flashes and looked up from the fight as all the Highbreed they were fighting instantly changed into various colors and forms before their very eyes.
"What happened?" Flamingo asked.
"Ben and Jen happened," Nate said, blasting a DNAlien with a shadow blast.
"They came through for us?" Honeybee asked, blasting a DNAlien with her stingers.
"They always do," Jess said with a smile.
"What have you done?!" the Highbreed Supreme asked.
"We asked the Omnitrixes to reprogram your DNA," Ben smiled.
"And judging from the new looks, I'd say it worked," Kevin said.
"Omnitrix?" Jen asked.
"Program complete. All Highbreed in range of transmission are now genetically infused with random species from Omnitrix database."
"In range of transmission?! With the jump gates open for the attack?!"
"That's correct. Every Highbreed in the galaxy is now a... how did you put it?"
"Oh, he called us mongrels," Gwen said, fist-bumping her sister.
"Welcome to the kennel club," Ally said.
"How could you do this?!"
"I don't understand," Jen said. "We saved you. You should be grateful."
"You have made us unpure. There is only one honorable act left to us."
"No!" a familiar voice said and everyone gasped and turned their heads to see a Highbreed with a Methanosian arm walk up to them. "There is another way."
"Reiny?" Ben and Jen asked.
"You know him?" Becky asked.
"Yeah," Ben said. "He was the Highbreed that we were sent to Turrawuste with when we were sent through that teleporter."
"We get around," Jen said as Scarlett chuckled.
"These two humans once cured an ailment of mine by changing my DNA. At first, I thought the impurity a curse. But I have since learned otherwise. Fellow Highbreed, we can live!"
The council then started talking amongst themselves as the Supreme looked down to the group.
"It is decided. The Highbreed Council elect you Highbreed Supreme. Lead us wisely, Reinrassic III."
"I will try."
Reiny then used his new power to communicate with the Highbreed attacking.
"To all Highbreed within the sound of my voice: the war is over! Return home so that we can create a new future together!"
He turned to the twins and they shook hands, grateful.
"Thank you for your help, Ben and Jen Tennyson."
Back on Earth, everyone watched as all remaining warships flew back through the jump gate as the twins looked to the alliance gathered outside and smiled.
"We did it," Ben said.
Everyone then cheered happily and hugged each other, raising their fists in victory as all the transformed heroes powered down into their civilian forms.
"We won!" Chloe said as Sabrina hugged Mika and Marinette kissed Adrien.
Ryker rolled his fist with a huge smile on his face.
"It's a beautiful sight, isn't it?" Max asked as he reached into his pouch and tossed a grenade up to the jump gate and it detonated, instantly destroying it.
"Fusion grenade."
"Nice."
"You guys ready to go?" Adrien asked.
"We are," Lincoln smiled, kissing his girlfriend on the cheek.
"Not so fast," Jen said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Lori asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We can't let you leave just yet..." Ben said. "We've got to celebrate first!"
"I'm in," Alya said, crossing her arms. "Where to?"
"My restaurant," Ally said.
"What about us?" Bayonetta asked as Scarlett looked to her army.
"You guys go home," Scarlett said to them as she opened a portal back to Cinnibar. "I'll join you guys there for our own celebration soon enough."
"Can do," Ryu said as everyone in the Scarlet Army left and headed back to Cinnibar.
The party was now in full swing at Stratton's Ale House since Ally had pulled some strings in the past hour to hold the party there and everyone raised their glasses and conversed amongst each other, exchanging phone numbers and email addresses to keep in touch (everyone also gave the contact numbers to everyone else and pretty soon everyone's phones had everyone else's contact info in them.)
Scarlett sat at the bar and downed a single shot of tequila to calm her nerves from the battle before going sober the rest of the night with water as Ryker sipped down his whiskey and smiled to her.
"That charge of yours is pretty awesome, you know," the cowboy smiled as he punched her in the arm.
"Yeah. The people I'm the guardian of tend to be pretty badass in their own right," Scarlett smiled, rubbing her arm and Jen walked up, Justin crooked in her arm.
"Thanks."
"How did you hear us?" Scarlett asked.
"Oh, Azmuth told us that the Master Control also has the side effect of enhancing our human forms," Jen said. "It enhances our strength, stamina and senses. So Ben and I can actually see, hear, smell, taste and touch better than most humans. That's how I heard."
"Wow," Justin said, impressed.
"It'll take some getting used to," Ben groaned as he dug a finger in his ear.
"You did good today, kid," Ryker smiled. "And to show thanks, here."
He took off his hat and plopped it down on Jen's head.
"Huh? But this is your hat."
"I've got three more at home," Ryker said.
"Thanks so much," Jen said, holding her new hat up with a smile.
"So, we need to keep in touch," Chloe said, jabbing Nicole's arm.
"For sure," Nicole said. "I'm working on a swarm of bee, wasp and hornet drones that respond to signals sent out from my antennae. But they're still in the embryonic stage since it's been so short since Bev and me got back into the fold."
"The Louds told me that you were a villain before you and your girlfriend were sent to prison."
"We were. But we grew out of it. I'm not a bad person and neither is she. We were just... misguided is the better word."
"That goes for most of the akumas we face back in Paris too," Chloe said as Pollen smiled to Nicole.
"A pleasure to meet you, Nicole Hewitt. I am Pollen, the bee kwami."
"Oh my gosh. You are so cute!"
"I get that."
"You weren't afraid of bees like I was before you got into this, were you?"
"On the contrary. I've really always admired them. The things they do and the way they work in an orderly fashion."
"Ooh, kind of like me," Chloe said as they both giggled as the camera shifted as Gwen looked to Jen and smiled before she created a mana platform and everyone cheered at her.
"Toast! Toast! Toast!" they all chanted.
"Okay, toast!" Gwen said as she hovered above them and set herself down on the bar as she held a glass of soda. "To the twins who brought us all together. My beloved cousins, Ben and Jen Tennyson!"
Everyone cheered as the twins blushed, Jen running a hand over the new pink streak in her hair.
"They started out as two normal everyday kids who were gifted with technology that they were thought unfit to wield. But they proved all of us wrong, didn't they?" Becky said as she stood on her table, toasting as well. "To Ben and Jen!"
"To Ben and Jen!" all the heroes in the room chorused.
"Well, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but we've got some things to say too," Ben said as he and Jen stepped up onto the live stage. "Next, to Azmuth and Myaxx."
Everyone cheered for the Galvan and Chimera Sui Gerenis in the back corner as Myaxx blushed and ran her foot over the ground.
"If it weren't for you two creating the Omnitrixes with your own hands, none of us would even be here right now. Your technology saved the universe along with us," Jen said. "To Azmuth and Myaxx!"
"To Cooper and Lisa!" Ben said as Cooper smiled. "If it weren't for your vast intelligence and technological capabilities, we wouldn't have survived before the Highbreed got through that gate."
"To Hope and Maggie," Jen said as Maggie smiled after setting down a drink at a table, now dressed in her work clothes. "Using your magic and shadow powers to get us to Paris and Royal Woods so we could get our new friends here, inspired, my friends."
"To Kevin," Ben said. "If it weren't for you helping us all those months ago and still staying with us for all this time despite our past, the planet wouldn't have had a chance."
"And to all of us," Jen said as everyone cheered. "If it weren't for all of the heroes of Planet Earth and beyond coming together as one united force, not only us, but the entire universe would've been destroyed. All of us are true superheroes. Our strength as heroes lies in our teamwork and not as individuals."
"So, here's to us!" Ben said as everyone cheered. "To the Earth!"
"To the Earth!" everyone chorused as Luna, Sam, Tabby and Jen's band mates that she invited over got onto the stage and set up their equipment.
"Let's do this," Luna said as she started playing with Sam and Tabby started playing the piano softly as everyone looekd to her.
"We could just go home right now
Or maybe we could stick around
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Get another bottle out
Let's shoot the shit, sit back down
For just one more drink, yeah
Here's to us
Here's to love
Here's to love
All the times that we fucked up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few days have kicked my ass!
So let's give 'em hell
Wish everybody well
Here's to us
Here's to us"
Jen smiled and walked up along with Ben as they stepped onto the plain and Ben transformed into his Zepplian form called Rockstar, who bore more of a resemblance to Bret Michaels and started playing his guitar as Jen took a mic.
"Okay, I'm taking a verse."
"Be my guest."
"We stuck it out this far together
Put our dreams through the shredder
Let's toast cause things got better
And everything could change like that
And all these years went by so fast cause
Nothing lasts forever."
Soon, both Jen and Luna sung together at the chorus.
Here's to us
Here's to love
Here's to love
All the times that we fucked up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights have kicked my ass!
If they give ya hell
Tell 'em go fuck themselves!
Here's to us
Here's to us"
*Luna:*
Here's to all that we've kissed
And to all that we've missed
To the biggest mistakes that we just wouldn't trade
*Jen:*
Here's to us breaking up
Without us breaking down
To whatever's coming our way
Here's to us!"
Everyone played a wicked guitar solo That was when Rockstar joined in and grabbed his guitar next to his mic, much to Jen and Luna's enjoyment.
*Rockstar:*
Here's to us
Here's to love
Here's to love
All the times that we messed up
*Jen:*
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights have kicked my ass!
*Luna:*
If they give ya hell
Tell 'em go fuck themselves!
Here's to us
Here's to us!
*All:*
Here's to us
Here's to love
Here's to us
*Luna:*
Wish everybody well
*All:*
Here's to us!
*Luna:*
Here's to us...
Everyone in the restaurant cheered and whistled loudly for the performance as Luna and the others took a bow as Ben transformed back.
Soon after the performance, Hope and Maggie decided to take everyone back home since they were needed there anyway.
"We'll call you guys soon!" Jen said as Marinette smiled.
"We're counting on it."
Luan walked up to Maggie and hugged her tightly and Maggie hugged her back.
"I'll be sure to come visit you here soon, Maggie."
"Oh, you can't get rid of me that easily," Maggie said. "Sure, I have my own life here in Bellwood. But I'll be around Royal Woods too. I can teleport there instantly, remember."
"Glad to see you've accepted your powers."
"Feels like a burden's been lifted to be honest."
That was when Maggie teleported them back to Royal Woods before she came back later.
"I've got to go home too," Julie said as Ship changed into his ship form. "Since it's not the end of the world, I'm still on a curfew."
She then walked up to Ben and kissed him full on the lips and he kissed her back lovingly.
"Okay, walk you to school tomorrow."
"Deal."
"I gotta go too. See you soon, Jen," Justin said as Jen kissed him on the cheek.
"Yeah. See you soon."
Justin then got into his car and drove off as Ship flew off as well.
"Grandpa," Gwen said. "Are you going back to the Null Void?"
"Nope," Max said to the Omni-Team. "After watching your recruits in action, I think they need some training from an old pro."
He looked over to Alan, Jess, Rosie, Cooper, Manny, Helen, Pierce and Simon talking.
"You guys don't need me anymore."
"We'll always need you, Grandpa," Ben said as his grandkids hugged him as Verdona floated down and spoke with Xylene.
"So, let bygones be bygones, Xylene?"
"Of course, Verdona. Provided that you take just as good care of my grandkids as me and Max do."
"Very well," she said, shaking hands as Scarlett walked over and bowed to Jen.
"Adaline would be proud of you, Master Spark."
"Please. Just call me Jen. And I still have a lot to learn, you know."
"Of course you do. And all of us will be beside you every step of the way," the warrior queen said before opening a portal behind her and she gave a flourish. "My work here is done for now. I'll see you guys soon."
"Counting on it."
The portal closed.
"Come on team," Max said. "You're with me."
The Plumbers Kids all smiled to each other and left to Max's direction as Max kissed both Xylene and Verdona lovingly.
"I'm gonna need a bigger motor home."
Max got onto his Null Guardian and flew off into the distance as Xylene and Verdona left to have some coffee at a nearby shop, Xylene donning an ID mask.
"Where's Darkstar?" Ally asked.
"He snuck off during the chaos. We'll get him soon."
"But not today," Kevin said, remembering his destroyed car. "Today I'm going to the auto show. I need a new ride."
"I do too," Ally sighed.
"I'll go with you," Gwen said to Kevin.
"You like cars?"
"Not really. I like you though."
The two then hooked arms and left as Ally walked off the same direction as Becky smiled to the twins and walked off, hands in her pockets back home.
"Nice working with you again, you two," Professor Paradox said to the twins as he walked up with Azmuth and Myaxx. "It's time to take Azmuth and Myaxx home."
"There's a lot of rebuilding to do back on Galvan."
"Before you go, can you reset the Master Control?" Jen asked. "That DNA wave we set off must've reset the Omnitrixes."
"A valuable deed merits a valuable reward," Myaxx reminded as Azmuth sighed harshly and adjusted the dials on the Omnitrixes, resetting the Master Control as he rejoined Paradox who teleported away along with Myaxx.
"Ready sis?"
"Ready, bro," Jen said as they each adjusted their Omnitrixes and slammed the cores, transforming again.
Next time on Ben and Jen 10: Alien Force
