Chapter 2: Trouble Follows
It was still nightfall and the Tennysons were sleeping in their beds at the hotel they were in. Grandpa Max was of course having some sort of a dream from his past that kept on reoccurring. It was about Vilgax's twin brother-Ajax whom was preparing to launch a nuclear war at a nuclear base in the U.S. against its Cold War adversaries and Grandpa Max was there at the scene with his then ally-Phil, as they were about to take down Ajax, some several men in black suits and sunglasses busted into the scene drawing their weapons at Ajax, firing and subduing Ajax.
"What's going on here?" protested Max to the head of the men in black suits.
"I'm Agent K" replied the agent in the black suit, "and this is my turf you are on."
"Oh yea?" asked Phil, "What are you people going to do about it?"
"This!" replied Agent K as he took out some sort of strange pen and pressed the tip of it causing a great flash and of course waking up Grandpa Max whom was all sweating.
"Grandpa?" asked Gwen as she was getting up to get a glass of water, "Are you alright?"
"Nothing" replied Grandpa Max, "it's nothing. Just do whatever you have to do and go back to bed."
"Alright" said Gwen as she finished her glass of water and went back to bed.
Meanwhile in outer space and somewhere not far from the Earth a spaceship quite similar to that of Vilgax was floating around space. Of course Ajax was Vilgax's twin brother whom has heard of his own brother's demise and seeks revenge for the people whom caused it. His target was of course Earth and began the ship's trek toward the blue planet. Back at the hotel, as mourning was just around the corner; Grandpa Max got everybody up and went downstairs for breakfast. While they were having breakfast, Agents J and K from the Men in Black entered the scene. Agent K turned and noticed Grandpa Max whom looked quite familiar as if he had seen him before.
"Any familiar faces here?" asked Agent J to Agent K.
"Not certain" replied Agent K, "though I think I smell a retired Plumber around here."
Suddenly on the television screen, something caught the two agents' attention as well as the Tennysons'. A news coverage of some sort showed an alien quite similar to that of Vilgax had landed in the downtown of the city and his droids were wrecking the place.
"What the heck are you two doing being lazy on the job?" asked Zed on Agent K's communicator, "We got all sorts of strange reports of some sort of alien creature that just looks like Vilgax."
"Well" replied Agent J as he readied his weapon, "what are let's go kick some alien butt."
"Right behind you rookie" replied Agent K.
"Looks like we better go" said Grandpa Max as he observed the two agents leaving the scene to Ben and Gwen.
"Grandpa, is there something you are not telling us about?" asked Gwen.
"Look" replied Grandpa Max, "my days as a Plumber are long gone there is nothing to worry about."
"Well" said Ben as he was setting his Omnitrix to Wildvine, "I'll find a place to change into Wildvine, I'll meet you two there."
"You do that" said Grandpa Max as he and Gwen were heading toward the trailer.
As the Tennysons were heading to the scene of the carnage, Ajax had arrived on the ground with his various droids and of course various agents of the Men in Black came in with their weapons drawn against Ajax.
"Alright" said the head agent, "let us see your hands in the air."
"I don't think so" said Ajax, "I want to find out who killed my brother Vilgax and I won't leave until I bring justice to him. Now droids, attack them!"
As Ajax's droids began their attack against the agents of the Men in Black, Agents J and K had just arrived on the scene to see their comrades in trouble.
"Looks like we just came here right in time" said Agent J.
As both of the two were about to draw their weapons against the droids, Ben as Wildvine had leaped right into the scene.
"What the heck is that?" asked Agent J as he looked at Ben as Wildvine.
"Could be one of those alien vigilantes or something like that" replied Agent K then he noticed the symbol of the Omnitrix on the alien, "wait a minute, maybe it isn't."
"Sorry about this" said Ben as Wildvine as he turned around, "but this is my turf and it seems like you people could use my help."
Ben as Wildvine then stretched his vines and attacked and destroyed Ajax's droids. He then looked and notice a large shadow standing in the dust and as the dust cleared, the alien looked quite a lot like Vilgax.
"I have come for the one whom killed my brother" said Ajax, "and I won't leave until I find the people responsible for it."
"Well, if you came here to cause trouble, looks like you found it" said Ben.
"Wait a minute, I know that symbol" said Ajax as he notices the symbol of the Omnitrix on Ben, "my brother was hunting such a device when he was killed searching for it. You and anyone whom closely associates themselves with you are responsible for his death. You just make a big mistake in doing just that."
"You're brother was hardly innocent" said Ben, "and I'll make sure you won't commit the same deeds."
"Then let's bring it on then" said Ajax.
As Ben attempted to use Wildvine's powers against Ajax, Ajax quickly dodges the attack. Ajax then races toward Ben and gives him a good punch and another one sending him across the street and right into the agents of the Men in Black. Ben then used Wildvine's long arms and leaped right toward Ajax, and gave a good punch at Ajax sending him flying across the street, but Ajax managed to stand his ground.
"You're pretty tough" said Ajax, "and I commend you for that. But that's not enough for the death of Vilgax."
Ajax then pumped himself up and charged directly toward at Ben giving him a good uppercut and another punch at Ben sending him right against the lamppost. Ben recovered from the attack, but as soon as he was about to make a retaliation against Ajax, his Omnitrix starting to flash red and Ben knew his time was up so he began to run from the scene.
"Get that alien" said one of the agents in the Men in Black to Agents J and K as he loaded up a heavy weapon, "we'll handle this alien."
"Got it" said the two agents.
As Ben was trying to find a safe place so that he could turn back into his normal human self, the two agents-J and K were right on his tail. But as soon as the two agents thought they had the alien cornered, the red flash went off and Ben hid right near some trash cans. Ben started to cower in fear as the two agents were slowly approaching him and when they did they were surprised to find him along with Agent K looking suspiciously at Ben's Omnitrix.
"Say kid" said Agent K, "nice watch you have. Where did you get it?"
"Uh, Internet?" replied Ben.
As the two agents were about to question Ben about the Omnitrix even further, Grandpa Max and Gwen ran into the scene.
"Oh good" said Grandpa Max, "you found him. We were so worried about him."
"We'll take it from here" said Gwen.
As the two agents were about to question the two, Zed showed up on Agent K's communicator.
"Okay" said Zed on the other line, "we got that alien subdued. You can come back to interrogate this alien."
"Roger that" said Agent K as he and J were leaving the scene.
"Phew" said Grandpa Max as he wipe the sweat off his forehead when the two agents left the scene, "that was a close one."
"Grandpa" said Ben as he came out of his hiding place, "who were those people in black suits?"
"I have always feared running into them as a Plumber" replied Grandpa Max, "I have nightmares about those agents erasing my memory. Seems like they didn't have anytime to do it to us this time around."
"But who was that alien Ben fought?" asked Gwen.
"Vilgax's twin brother" replied Grandpa Max, "I'll mention that more later on."
