A portal opened on a hill near where Vilgax and his robot army were standing and they looked on.
"Okay, guys. I think I have an idea on how to save our family, " Ben said.
"That's great. But remember, guys," Scarlett said. "Great ideas without great execution remain just that: ideas. And you can't beat Vilgax with an idea."
"We know," Jen said. "We'll keep that in mind."
"Yeah, about that," said an identical voice as they saw Alexia running up to them, panting heavily before she noticed the twins' new figures. "...Whoa. You guys spent those three weeks doing something, alright."
"Yeah, well we're abut to rough up Vilgax, so..."
"You can't," Alexia interrupted.
"What?"
"I heard Vilgax ranting and raving in the ship the entire time you were training," Alexia said. "The very second you guys move in to attack him, he's going to execute all your loved ones on sight."
"Are you sure?" Ben asked. "And how do we know you can trust you?"
"You can at least trust me when I say that Vilgax is not a threat to be taken lightly at all. I'm as scared of him as everyone else, including you, is."
"What do you think, Scarlett?"
"Well, if you want to save your family... I see no other way than to give him the Omnitrixes. The minute you refuse, he's going to kill them all."
"You didn't know that?" Jen asked.
"I'm not perfect, okay?"
"Fine," Ben sighed as he and Jen relented and slid down the hill with Scarlett and Alexia behind them as Vilgax stood waiting with all of the twins' loved ones held in his clutches and Albedo stnading by as Alexia nervously moved over to him as Vilgax smirked victoriously. "We'll do it your way."
"Ben, no!" Gwen shouted.
"Give us up! We're not worth it!"
"I know we spent all this time training, but he's going to immediately kill you all if we don't give them up now," Jen said. "There's no point in saving the universe if you lose your family."
Max nodded at what he once told them. as the twins both pressed their Omnitrixes.
"Omni, Trixie, decouple Omnitrixes," Ben and Jen chorused. "Command Code 000. Coupling zero."
"Command accepted. Omnitrixes decoupled," Omni and Trixie both said reluctantly as the Omnitrixes released their locks and the twins removed them.
"Give them to me."
Ben and Jen marched over to Vilgax and handed the watches to their greatest nemesis and they looked down in disgust as Vilgax slapped them onto his wrist and laughed victoriously as the twins stood in disbelief at what they just did as Vilgax's robot army cheered and pumped their fists. That was when Omni and Trixie briefly appeared on Vilgax's shoulders and shot the twins a wink each before disappearing as Albedo stood in total disbelief. Alexia, however was indifferent.
"You two have won so many battles, Omni-Twins. But the war is finally mine! Now bow down before your new ruler!"
"We kind of already did," Jen spat.
"You've got the Omnitrixes, Vilgax," Ben said. "I wouldn't press my luck if I was you."
"Still defiant as always? Why? I have beaten you two, Ben and Jen Tennyson. I have the Omnitrixes and you have nothing!"
"Wrong!" said a voice as a mana beam shot down and decimated tons of robots. "They have family!"
THe robots that held the team's family and friends were destroyed in a plume of green flames as Verdona flew down with a smile as Xylene smashed a few of them with her telekinesis.
"Here you go, kiddo," Verdona said, passing something to Gwen.
"My old spellbook?"
"Figured you'd need it. Looking good, Ben and Jen," she said, noticing the twins' new figures as Jen chuckled with a blush.
"Whoa," Julie said, impressed at her boyfriend's new muscular figure as she felt at his rock solid six-pack. "Ben. You are jacked."
"Yeah, well three weeks of non-stop training with a multiverse-renowned warrior will do that to you," Ben chuckled.
"Jen," Justin said as he noticed Jen's new jacked, yet still-petite and beautiful figure as he felt at the impressive size of her muscles. "Scarlett wasn't kidding when she said she took you apart and put you back together again."
"Is it too much?" Jen asked. "I mean, I look so different from before."
"Not at all, Jen. In fact, you look even more beautiful now. More like a superhero than ever."
Ally smirked and rubbed Jen's muscle as she smiled.
"You're looking as fit as me now," she said before getting her game face on as her hands crackled with energy. "I like that."
"I saved the page for you, Gwen," Verdona said as everyone in the group got into a huddle as Emma ran up and hugged Jen's leg.
Gwen quickly opened the book as Albedo charged in as Ultimate Humungousaur and roared outwards.
"Abeo Exorior!"
The team was engulfed into a magenta dome and teleported away from the desert battlefield as Ultimate Humungousaur roared in defeat. Vilgax however, was using the Shield of Seagle to protect himself from the flames.
"We've got to follow them!" Ultimate Humungousaur exclaimed.
"I'm about to conquer this planet. It doesn't matter where those fools run. There's no safe place to hide from me," Vilgax boasted.
"You're right," Alexia said, wringing her hands.
"And our alliance has served its purpose."
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"Our agreement? Once you give me the Omnitrixes, I can free myself from that hideous human form."
"Yeah, about that. There's been a change in plans, Albedo. I'm keeping the Omnitrixes!"
Said alien watches adjusted themselves to Vilgax's wrist as Albedo looked on, shocked.
"I told you he wouldn't agree to his end," Alexia scoffed.
"Why are you doing this, Vilgax? We had a deal! You don't even need the Omnitrixes' power anymore!"
"That is true. I don't. But my army does. My Bioids are synthetic soldiers with blank DNA, all synced to the Omnitrixes."
He then adjusted both of the Omnitrixes and slammed the cores down as they transformed all of his soldiers into various Vaxasaurian forms as they all roared out in fury.
Albedo then transformed into Ultimate Humungousaur and Alexia transformed into Ultimate AeroForce as the Humungousaur army all swarmed the two of them with a shout of anger.
Ultimate Humungousaur morphed his hands into missile launchers and blasted all of the Humungousaurs with his bone missiles and Ultimate AeroForce took to the sky and shouted out as she shot out all of her razor sharp feathers that also knocked tons of Vaxasaurians back.
But they couldn't keep this up forever as they were both dogpiled by the various synthetic aliens... just before Ultimate AeroForce used her powerful gale from her wings to blow them off both of them and screeched outwards as Ultimate Humungousaur slammed the ground, sending out a tremor all around the pair of them.
But when the dust cleared, more and more Vaxasaurians charged them again and Ultimate AeroForce's eyes widened.
"There's no end to them!"
The pair tried their best to keep the assault up, but they were eventually overpowered by the various bioid aliens and they transformed back as Vilgax looked on with an evil smirk as he walked away.
The team, including Scarlett, were watching the entire scuffle in the Rust Bucket III after dropping off their parents and Emma as Ben and Jen sulked in defeat.
"This is a bad day to be Ben and Jen," Kevin said.
"In more ways than one," Becky agreed.
"How are we seeing all of this on the TV anyway?" Gwen asked.
"Spycubes," Xylene explained. "Standard Plumber issue."
"We left a few at the canyon," Verdona said as Max drove them away.
"Where are we going anyway?" Ally asked.
"As far away from Vilgax as possible. We're this planet's last hope. The next time we face him, I want it to be on our terms."
"So... what's the plan?" Julie asked her boyfriend.
"What plan?" Jen asked. "In case you haven't noticed, this whole thing is hopeless!"
"Vilgax has an entire army with all of our powers at our disposal! We've lost the Omnitrixes!"
"Stop the RV," Scarlett ordered as Max pulled over as she stared at the two. "You two have entirely missed the point of those three weeks of training."
"Why are you still here?" Gwen asked Scarlett as she smiled.
"I may be a ruthless warrior, but I'm also a noble queen," Scarlett noted. "And I always keep my word. I swore to defend the twins in their greatest hours of need and this qualifies. We need to talk. Alone."
Scarlett walked out of the car with the twins behind her as they walked into the pouring rain.
"What are we going to do with them?" Becky asked.
"Who needs them?" Kevin asked. "We're trying to save the entire universe again, here. That's no job for quitters like them. And they went through all that training too."
"Easy there, kids. Scarlett had to have known this would happen. She wouldn't have trained them in the first place otherwise," Max noted. "And we can't turn on each other, here.
"We're not! We're just-"
"Sorry, Gwen," Kevin said.
"He's got a point," Ally said. "Just let the twins have some time alone with their new mentor. They just need to be alone for a bit."
"Sorry, Grandpa," Gwen said. "That's the last thing those two need right now."
Ben and Jen sulked under two trees in the pouring rain as Scarlett stood by them with her golden locks hanging in front of her eyes as the twins bowed their heads.
"You want your jacket?" Gwen asked Ben, holding his jacket up to him.
"I don't deserve that," Ben said, tossing the jacket away. "It belongs to a hero."
"We went through all of that training for nothing," Jen said, not even bothering to use her powers to create a forcefield. "We let him have the Omnitrixes and now the universe is going to end. We let everyone down. Most of all, you Scarlett."
"Come on, guys," Becky said, coming from another direction. "Think of how many people you've saved. Everything you've accomplished."
"Yeah, we accomplished a lot, but we had the Omnitrixes," Jen sighed.
"But out of how many of those times were the Omnitrixes out of power or broken"
"They almost never work right," Jen said. "Don't tell Trixie I said that. Not that it matters. What's your point?"
"It's not the tool. It's the man," the two sisters chorused.
"My weapons would be utterly useless without my skill in using them," Becky reminded her cousins.
"Sure. But when you're talking about the two most powerful devices in the universe, it's the tool," Ben said. "Without the Omnitrixes, it's utterly hopeless."
"Oh, come now, Ben and Jen," Scarlett scoffed. "Have you forgotten what I told you two on Xenon six years ago?"
"If we're nothing without the Omnitrixes, then you shouldn't have them."
The training was meant to boost your confidence and your self esteem. You accomplished all that with your own sheer will. With or without Omni and Trixie, you are true heroes. You two make the Omnitrixes, not the other way around."
"But with the Omnitrixes in Vilgax's hands, he has all their power to use against us. How can we compete with that?" Jen asked.
"You'll find a way," Scarlett smiled as she left with their cousins. "You always do."
The three powerful women left to the Rust Bucket as the twins moved further into the woods as Jen suddenly broke down in tears and collapsed to her knees with a shout to the heavens.
"AZMUTH, HELP US! PLEASE!"
"Just so we can help them," Ben begged , kneeling down to his sobbing sister's level as Azmuth suddenly appeared behind them in a tree.
"You two are complete and utter fools."
"Well, no argument from us on that one," Jen said, wiping her eyes with a sniff.
"In case you have forgotten, the Omnitrixes weren't even intended for you two in the first place. They were intended for your grandparents, the greatest Plumbers in the Milky Way Galaxy."
"But we were the ones who ended up with them," Ben said.
"By total accident. Your DNA signature was close enough that it allowed you to put Omni and Trixie on."
"Why didn't you take them from us? You had every opportunity to time and time again," Jen reminded. "Yet you let us keep them every time."
"Believe me, I intended to take them from you. But your grandfather convinced me you two were a better choice for them than he. He said you guys had the seeds of greatness and Scarlett clearly agreed."
"Really?"
"Almost instantaneously I thought I made a huge mistake. Your brashness and immaturity when you were kids left a bad impression on me."
"Oh," the twins sighed.
"But in time, I saw the two of you grow. Witnessed your bravery and ingenuity, using the Omnitrixes in ways that never even occurred to me as possible. Me, the smartest being in three galaxies, arguably five, galaxies."
"But then we let you down," Ben said. "We let everyone down."
"Yes, you did. Disobeying my orders, hacking the Omnitrixes."
"Turning Kevin into a monster," Jen winced.
"And now, you willingly gave the Omnitrixes to the most dangerous being in the universe."
"So tell us what to do," Ben begged. "Just this once. Tell us how to stop Vilgax and save the universe?"
"Not so easy to win without the Omnitrixes, is it?"
"No..." Jen said before her and Ben's eyes widened sharply. "It isn't!"
Azmuth smiled as he spread his arms out and embraced the pouring rain.
"Lovely weather on this world."
In the Rust Bucket, the team was looking at a large-scale holographic model of the Chimerian Hammer.
"How long until the Plumbers get here?" Becky asked.
"A week. Ten days at the latest."
"We can't wait a week!" Kevin shouted.
"Yeah, there won't be a planet left to save."
"Don't worry," a female voice said from behind them and they turned to see a smirking Ben and Jen, who winked at the team.
Vilgax looked over the planet Earth from orbit as he stood on the bridge of the Chimerian Hammer as two slabs that held Albedo and Alexia, helpless and in a similar position to how the twins were on Kraab's ship.
"It's going to be glorious, Albedo."
"Pardon me if I don't give applause," Albedo scoffed.
"They're going to find a way to stop you. Really," Alexia said. "They always do."
"Of all the worlds I've conquered, this one will be the sweetest, by far," Vilgax smirked... just as a flash of red and green appeared behind them and Scarlett drew her sword.
"You know, Vligax. There's an old Earth expression about not counting your chickens before they hatch," Max said.
"I'm not in the mood to negotiate with the likes of you," Vilgax spat as Scarlett glared as the twins stood beside her as they all prepared for battle.
"Who said anything about negotiating?" Scarlett asked, summoning her Keyblade.
"The Tennysons and company, including their pet juvenile delinquent."
"Juvenile? I'm gonna be 18 next year!"
"That reminds me I've got to pick a present."
"Do not concern yourself, girl. None of you will live to see the day."
"You know, Vilgax, I think that's the longest any of us have ever been around you without a death threat," Jen scoffed.
"Mocking me? Your bravery is obvious, but I question your intelligence."
That was when tons and tons of Bioids marched out of the doors on either side, surrounding our heroes as Xylene levitated in the air and Verdona turned into her Anodite form and Julie formed her armor using Ship as they all prepared for battle.
"Bioids," Xylene realized.
"Just a few of the hundreds of thousands I have aboard this vessel. Allow me to demonstrate."
Vilgax pressed the Omnitrixes over and over and the Bioids all transformed into.
"Diamondhead!"
"Firefox!"
"Lodestar!"
"Frostblight!"
"Spidermonkey!"
"Fury!"
"No army in the galaxy can stand against my power now."
"Not what we had in mind,' Ben said as he and Jen smirked.
"You're going to fight me in a hero's challenge. Fight me two on one for Earth, somehow trick me into giving up the Omnitrixes to save the day?"
"Nope," Jen said. "You're going to give us the Omnitrixes of your own free will."
"And why in the universe would I do that?"
"So you don't blow up," Ben said nonchalantly. "Sorry, Omni."
"You too, Trixie," Jen said as Omni and Trixie's avatars briefly appeared before they nodded and both dispersed into pixels, seemingly disappearing.
"Omnitrix, Command Function Override, Code 10," both twins chorused.
"Override accepted. Voice command activated."
"What are you-"
"Omnitrix, actvate Self Destruct in thirty seconds. Command code zero zero zero destruct zero."
"Destruct sequence activated and engaged. Detonation in T-Minus 30 seconds."
"What are you doing?!" Vilgax shouted as he desperately tried to adjust the Omnitrixes, to no avail. "You know as well as anyone that if the Omnitrixes self-destruct, they would take the entire universe with them!"
"Actually, that's not entirely accurate," Ben said.
"We talked with Azmuth before we came here," Jen smirked. "They would destroy the universe if we let the charge build up for a couple of days, but we're only giving you thirty seconds."
"Detonation in T-Minus 20 seconds."
"Correction- twenty seconds."
"So you can either take off the Omnitrixes, or we're going to see what the charred remains of your species looks like."
"You're bluffing!"
Vilgax slammed the Omnitrixes and the Bioids all transformed into various copies of...
"Swampfire!"
"Rockette!"
"Destroy them all!"
"Detonation in T-Minus 10 seconds."
"Even if you destroy us now, you're still gonna blow up yourself," Jen taunted in a singsong voice.
"5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."
At that point, the Omnitrixes finally detonated in a plume of green and pink smoke, which blew Vilgax back into the wall with a grunt.
Kevin suddenly felt something deep inside of him and he groaned out as he fell backwards onto his back.
"Kevin!" Gwen and Ally shouted as they went to comfort him as the twins ran to Vilgax and picked up the remains of the Omnitrixes with their heads bowed as they crumbled apart in their hands.
"I can't believe we just did that," Jen said, with wide eyes as Ben laid a hand on her shoulder.
"It's alright," Max said. "The Omnitrixes were a high price to pay for saving the universe."
"Yeah," Ben said as he witnessed all the Bioids turn back to normal and his and his sister's eyes drifted over to Albedo and Alexia on their slabs as Alexia winced outwards as they raised an eyebrow.
"You know what? I've got an idea," Jen said as she and Ben nodded.
Kevin cried out in pain... and his body glowed green and pink as it slowly shifted back to its normal form, leaving him in nothing but his boxers.
"I've got a headache like you wouldn't believe... what are you looking at me like that for?"
"You're human again," Ally said, helping Kevin up.
"It must have been the Omnitrixes that were keeping you in that form," Xylene realized. "Once they were destroyed..."
"I'm back to normal?"
"Let me show you," Gwen smirked as she grabbed Kevin's head and gave him a big kiss.
"It was a nice little moment, why'd they have to do that?!" Ben asked.
"It was a victory kiss."
"Premature," a threatening voice said as Vilgax stood up and glared as he drew his sword. "You haven't won yet."
"Why am I not surprised that he survived that?" Jen asked.
"What do you mean? You don't have the Omnitrixes anymore and your Bioids are lawn sculpture. Face it, your plans are done for!"
"I am still Vilgax, Conqueror of Ten Worlds!'
Vilgax threw a punch outwards as it was suddenly stopped by a completely metal Kevin, who smirked at the twins.
"Guess who's got his old powers back?"
Scarlett ran up and shouted out as she gave a powerful energy punch to Vilgax, sending him stumbling back into the ship's controls.
"No! I will not lose to you children! Not again!"
He then pressed a few buttons on the console to program a destination in.
Max and Verdona fired out a blast from Max's blaster and a mana blast towards him, only for him to block him with the Shield of Seagle.
"You're too late, Tennyson! Our course is already set!"
Vilgax then slammed his fist into the console, destroying it and horrifying our heroes.
"What did you do?!" Justin asked.
"I can't conquer the Earth today, but I can punish you! The Chimerian Hammer is locked on course with Bellwood."
"But this ship has a fusion drive," Becky realized. "When it hits..."
"The explosion will destroy our hometown and everything else for 100 miles!" Ally realized.
"Auxiliary control," Ben suggested. "Maybe we can guide the ship away."
"Perhaps. But first you'll have to get by me!" Vilgax shouted, pulling out his flaming sword.
"Hey, I got no problem with that," Kevin said as everyone charged forwards, going at the evil alien warlord with everything they had.
Gwen fired tons of mana bolts at Vilgax, only for him to block them with his shield and he blasted her away with the Ruby Ray of Ruloux and he swatted Kevin and Becky away with his sword.
Max fired his blaster with Verdona's mana blasts to distract Vilgax as Ally and Julie ran in and grabbed him in the back with a grunt as Julie fired Ship's lasers at his back, stunning him as Scarlett ran in with a grunt and gave a whirling dervish attack with her swords.
The twins, however, ran back to Albedo and Alexia as Jen used her mana beams to free them from their confines, much to her dismay.
"Look, we're letting you go, but we're taking your Omnitrixes," Ben said as Alexia went to take her's off.
"Ultimatrixes," Albedo corrected.
"It's all yours," Alexia said, handing the gauntlet to Jen with a smile. "I wanted no part of this anyway. I was forced into it by Vilgax and Albedo.
"What's in it for me?" Albedo asked.
"We don't have time for this," Ben said as he swatted Albedo in the chest with a grunt of effort and Jen gave a flying kick into his head, knocking him to the ground. "Command function override, Code 10."
"Override accepted," the A.I. said as Ben smirked.
"Hey, what do you know? It recognizes my voice."
"Wait, what are you doing?!"
"Omnitrix, self destruct in 30 seconds. Command code: zero zero zero destruct zero."
"Destruct sequence completed and engaged. Detonation in T-Minus 30 seconds."
"You're bluffing!"
"Why don't you ask Vilgax if we're bluffing," Jen asked as she held up the charred remains of her pink Omnitrix.
Albedo hurriedly took off his Ultimatrix and handed it to Ben as he and Jen slipped them onto their wrists with a smile as Ben sighed.
"I like the old one better. Abort self-destruct Code 10."
"Self-destruct sequence aborted. Good to see you again, Ben."
The twins smiled and adjusted their new Ultimatrixes as they turned green and pink and Omni and Trixie appeared on them.
"Hey, guys. How are you two still here?"
"Uh-doy!" Trixie said with a smile. "We're A.I.s, remember? Before you destroyed the Omnitrixes, we uploaded ourselves into the internet and then downloaded ourselves into the Ultimatrixes."
"It's really that simple," Omni said. "You can't get rid of us that easily."
"If you think those things are going to work for you two, you're insane," Albedo spat.
"Yeah," Jen chuckled. "We Tennysons get that a lot."
Ally shouted out as she absorbed some mana from Verdona as she and Gwen blasted Vilgax with tons of blasts as he swiped at them and they formed shields in front of them with a grunt. This did nothing to stop him, however, as he swung his sword down and shattered the shields, sending them sprawling back as Justin helped them up as they dodged a stomp from their mortal enemy as Scarlett ran in and blocked him, blasting him with a fire blast as Vilgax glared at her heavily.
"I am not taking anymore crap from you, Your Highness!"
He then slashed her across the chest and blasted her in the head with the Ruby Ray of Ruloux, sending her sprawling against the wall, breathing heavily, in clear pain and misery.
"Scarlett!" Jen said, running up as Scarlett leaned against the wall, breathing heavily as Verdona kneeled next to her and began using her mana to heal the warrior queen and Ben ran up to his sister's side to comfort Scarlett.
"You were right, Ben," Scarlett said, in obvious pain from the brutal attack.
"About what?"
Scarlett only chuckled weakly. "Everything you touch does turn to shit."
"Oh, Scarlett," Ben said, rolling his eyes as he stood up.
"Take Vilgax out. For all of us," Alexia said, holding her brunette duplicate's hand as she nodded.
"What about you?" Jen asked Scarlett.
"She'll be fine," Verdona said. "I'll make sure of that."
"Thank you."
Becky swatted out against Vilgax with her spear as he was about to swat at her, but then...
"Swampfire!"
"Firefox!"
"Green and pink eyes and symbols?" Ally realized. "Ben? Jen?"
"In the flesh," Firefox smirked.
"Miss us?" Swampfire asked as he and Firefox sent out a double fire blast from their hands that Vilgax blocked as Scarlett smiled from the wall.
"I trained them far too well."
Firefox ran in and swatted Vilgax back with her tail, sending him flying back into the console, destroying it further as the others stood up.
"The rest of you get to the control room and turn this ship around. Kevin, Ally, we could use a little help," Swampfire said.
"Got our backs?"
"We've got each others."
Swampfire sent out a few seeds that unfurled into powerful vines that wrapped around Vilgax, trapping him as the Levins ran in and attacked as Vilgax's eyes glowed.
"Wuh-oh," Ally said as he blasted them back into the wall.
Vilgax then blasted the twins with his laser vision before freeing himself from the vines.
"Free!"
The twins gulped as they could see a fiery aura rising from the ship's perimeter, indicating they were now entering Earth's atmosphere.
"It's worse than I thought," Xylene said from the control room. "We're already in re-entry."
The twins shouted out as they hit the ground. Vilgax picked Firefox up by the tail and swatted her into her brother, sending them both crashing into some machinery and both groaned in pain.
"You're losing, Tennyson twins."
"Maybe so. But the new rig comes with a few extra applications," Swampfire said as Firefox nodded.
"Let's see how they did this."
They both swatted the Omnitrix symbols on their chests, which grew four spikes on the corners and both shouted out as they transformed again.
Swampfire transformed into humanoid tree instead of a walking plant like Swampfire. His body is dark brown in color, and now has three blue gooey shells containing an organic, blue-colored gel-like solution of napalm on each of his arms and a large one on his back. He also has a smaller pod on his front, through which his face can be seen. Ultimate Swampfire's body is composed of petrified wood.
Firefox's fur changed into a light amber-orange color with red on the limbs as her muscle mass expanded slightly and her tail grew longer and then split itself into nine long prehensile tails with a different colored flame glowing on each tail as they waggled freely and she smirked as she spun around and landed gracefully as her pink outfit remained the same with a slightly more armored look to it as she winked to the camera.
"Ultimate Swampfire!"
"Ultimate Firefox!"
Vilgax charged at them in fury, before he was blasted point blank with powerful blue fire from Ultimate Swampfire as he grinned as his sister cracked her knuckles as she smiled.
"What do you say, Vilgy? Round two sound good?" Ultimate Swampfire asked.
"I'm gonna enjoy this," Ultimate Firefox said as she snarled.
Meanwhile, everyone else was trying in vain to get the Chimerian Hammer under control as they shouted out in effort.
"It's no use!" Becky shouted. "We're gonna crash into Bellwood any second!"
"We're gong too fast to turn around!" Max shouted. "But we can still angle away from Bellwood and crash into the ocean!"
"Right!" Julie shouted as she used her enhanced strength from Ship's armored form and she grunted at the controls. "Aim for the blue part!"
Ultimate Firefox shouted out as she leaped up and shouted out as several rainbow fire beams blasted from her tails and blasted right into Vilgax as she ran forwards and gave a tornado spin to him, slamming him straight in the face with all nine of her tails, several times over as she bailed and let her brother have his fun.
Ultimate Swampfire shouted out and threw his hands forwards, sending several blue seeds outwards that exploded right in Vilgax's line of sight and he groaned out in pain as an announcement blared all over as Scarlett groaned in pain and got up as Verdona held her shoulder.
"All hands on deck! We're about to make an emergency landing! Abandon ship immediately!" Gwen shouted. "Repeat, all hands abandon ship!"
The twins gasped in shock as Vilgax slammed down his hands on their heads as the Chimerian Hammer crashed into the ocean and everyone was knocked back, sliding across the floor.
Max, Xylene, Gwen, Becky, Justin, Julie and Ally groaned as they stood up from the ground and gasped as they saw they were falling into an underwater trench.
The ship started to crumple from the underwater pressure and tons and tons of gallons of water started to flood the interior and our heroes gapsed out.
"We're taking on a lot of water, guys!" Ally shouted.
"Get the others and go! We can't let Vilgax get away again!" Ultimate Firefox shouted.
Kevin and Ally nodded and ran as Scarlett looked on remorsefully as Verdona teleported the two of them away.
"Your fire's not so useful now that we're in my element," Vilgax warned as the twins smirked and cracked a smiel.
"A sinking ship is your element, Vilgeek?" Ultimate Swampfire asked as the windshield cracked from the pressure. "Well that explains a lot."
"Laugh while you can. Now you two face the true form of Vilgax!"
The evil alien warlord fired his laser vision at the windshield, shattering it and the sinking ship completely flooded with water as the twins shouted out and started gasping for air as they both nodded and used their ultra fire powers as jet propulsion to shoot them through the seawater... only for them to get grabbed by two tentacles as Vilgax came from out of the shadows to reveal his true form... a giant squid with no visible limbs except for his tentacles.
The twins gasped in horror at the sight of this monstrosity as Vilgax opened his maw, revealing several rows of razor sharp teeth as he brought them closer... only for Ultimate Firefox to use two of her tails to press the Ultimatrix symbols on their chests, causing them to quick change out of Vilgax's grasp as the ship fell deep to the bottom of the ocean floor.
On the surface, a mana ball popped out as everyone gasped for breath as Gwen focused her powers to form a large platform on top of the water as Verdona flew in as well with Scarlett in tow.
"We did it! We saved Bellwood!" Kevin cheered.
"What about the twins?" Justin asked, concernedly.
"They're fine," Scarlett smiled confidently. "If they can survive three weeks of rigorous training with some of the most cutthroat warriors in the multiverse, they can survive anything."
"But wait," Alexia said with a pant as she looked on. "Vilgax's ship still has a fusion drive. It could still..."
As if the former Galvan tempted fate, a huge nuclear explosion burst up from the ocean and Verdona and Gwen closed the force shields again as a huge tidal wave surged forwards and sent them all washing up onto the Bellwood beach as they all groaned in pain.
"Ben. Jen. No..." Julie said as Ship demerged from her... just as two figures burst forth from the water as Jetray and AeroForce circled each other and flew down to the ground.
"Miss us!?" AeroForce cawed as she and Ben transformed back and ran into large hugs of their loved ones as Scarlett smiled on as they stared at their new Ultimatrixes.
"Albedo got away?" Scarlett asked Alexia.
"Somehow. He'll be on the run for a long time, but I'm sure you'll get him."
"These new watches are going to take some getting used to," Ben said, showing his Ultimatrix just as a flash of light appeared and Azmuth stood by everyone, standing tall.
"Yes, they will," Azmuth reported. "After a week or two back at Galvan Prime so that I can finish them."
"You mean Albedo stole these things before they were even ready?" Jen asked, slipping her Ultimatrix off and handing it to Azmuth. "That is so him."
"I know, right?" Ben smirked as he handed his Ultimatrix to Azmuth and he turned to Alexia sharply as she rubbed at her blonde hair.
"Alexia. what do you have to say for yourself?"
"Do what you want with me. I totally deserve it at this point," Alexia said, looking down.
"Azmuth," Becky said as she stepped by. "Alexia wanted no part of any of this. She was forced into this situation by her evil brother."
"She at least deserves a chance to prove herself," Gwen said. "It wasn't her fault she was roped into this whole mess."
"I'm aware of that," Azmuth said as he turned to her. "But that doesn't change the fact that she's still committed acts treasonous to the universe. And therefore, I sentence her to 300 cycles of community service... on Earth."
"I guess that's a fitting punishment," Alexia said with a smile and a nod as Scarlett turned to the twins with a soft smile.
"I'd really best be going on my way now, you two," Scarlett said with a smile. "Don't ever forget what I taught you guys, okay?"
"You're still our mentor and guardian, you know," Ben said. "We still have a lot to learn. And we can't wait to see you again."
Scarlett said nothing as she left with a flourish as a portal formed behind her and she disappeared.
"What about Vilgax?" Ally asked.
"We didn't see him get out," Jen said. "But he's definitely survived worse."
"He may come back just like he did before," Kevin said.
"For sure," Ben said. "But when he does, one thing's for sure..."
"It's Hero Time!" Ben and Jen shouted simultaneously.
And, lo, it is done. See you next time in...
