NOTE: Yo! Welcome to another chapter! I will eventually do spin offs and I will do somethings with Alien Force/Ultimate Alien/Omniverse. While they won't be full stories like this one, they will be mostly one shots for the most part.
Enjoy and Review!
Chapter 10: Persona Trap!
"This is dumb. Not even Yosuke levels of stupid," Yukiko said bluntly. She watched as Ben made disgusting faces through the window of the RV. Driving next to them was another car with a child doing the exact same thing to Ben.
"I'd warn you that your face might freeze like that, but in your case it would be an improvement," Gwen insulted. They watched as the child consumed a sandwich, then proceeded to open his mouth and show them the contents.
Yukiko's face scrunched up in disgust. "How bad would it be if I set that child on fire?" She asked.
Gwen scooted away from her older cousin. "T-That would be a crime."
"Only if they find a body."
"...You worry me sometimes."
FLASH
Their conversation was interrupted by Stinkfly sticking his face up to the window, terrifying the other boy and his father. Stinkfly fell to the ground laughing his ass off at his win.
"That was another misuse of your powers, Ben," Yukiko frowned, disappointed again.
The Stinkbug turned to her confused. "Come on! Didn't you find that funny!?"
"There is such a thing as taking a joke too far, ya know," Gwen responded to him. The young girl shook her head when Ben dismissed her words once more. She went to sit down on the seat, but right as she touched down on it Stinkfly shot his goop onto it. Gwen gasped at the disgusting slime on her butt, she glared down at Ben.
"Impossible! Funny is Funny-OW! Yu-Yuki-OW!" Stinkfly cried out in pain as Yukiko swatted him with her fan.
"Weird, no matter how many times I swat it, it just won't die."
"I'm not an actual bug! OW! Quit it!"
"And it just won't shut up," Yukiko smacked him again.
"Stop referring to me as 'it'!" Stinkfly yelled.
"Kids!" Max's voice interrupted Ben's punishment. The RV stopped abruptly, causing Stinkfly to slide face first into the dashboard. Yukiko did in fact laugh at that.
"Oh, good, you're all ready to go. Seems we've got trouble ahead," Max said. All four of them watched through the windshield as an oil truck and another truck had crashed into one another. The oil was leaking out of the tank, and the trucks were caught on fire.
"The door's stuck! He can't get out!" A random guy yelled.
Max turned to Ben. "If that propane he's on catches fire, that truck will become a rocket to the moon!" Max exclaimed, grimly.
Yukiko opened the door to the RV. "I'll put out the fire! Ben, you handle getting the men out of the trucks!"
"Got it!" Stinkfly replied as he flew out of the RV. Yukiko hid behind the RV and summoned Amaterasu. Remembering what she had done to quell the flames of the burning building, Yukiko used her abilities to pull the flames away from the trucks.
Once she was certain that she had gathered them all, she balled it all into the air above everyone else.
Stinkfly used his tail to rip the roof of the truck open and grabbed the driver. Once he placed the man onto the ground he turned his attention to the ball of flames. "If I was Heatblast I could just absorb them...wait! That gives me an idea!" Stinkfly proceeded to shoot his goop at the fire ball. Soon enough the fire had died down and transformed into a giant ball of goop.
"EW!" Yukiko shivered in disgust and tossed the ball into the distance. Never wanting to feel Stinkfly's gunk ever again.
"AH! That's the monster that ate that kid!" The child that Ben had been messing with exclaimed.
"Oh no…" All four Tennysons mentally groaned.
"Uh...would you look at the time!? Gotta fly!" Stinkfly took off into the air to escape any unnecessary trouble.
The Rustbucket continued its way down the road, everything finally getting back to normal for them. However, there were these weird signs that they kept driving by.
"You'll have a ball with it?" Gwen read one of the passing signs.
"Oh! Maybe it's some kind of giant hamster ball!" Yukiko guessed.
"That seems...illogical," Gwen responded.
"Oh come on, Grandpa! Can you at least tell us what 'IT' is?" Ben asked.
The old man gave his Grandson a wide smile. "Ah ah, no hints. I've been planning this stop all summer!" Max's excitement was contagious.
"Oh! Oh! Is it Disne-"
"Yukiko, you can't say that!" Gwen cried out.
"Can you calm down?" Ben turned to look at the excited Yukiko.
"I'm sorry! But, Grandpa has gotten me excited for this!" The heiress responded.
"Yeah and he was excited to see Aunt Vera too, but we all know how that turned out," Ben rolled his eyes.
"Oh, I'm sure nothing bad is gonna happen here," Yukiko said.
"And that's jinx number one," Gwen mumbled.
Max opened the side door to finally reveal the surprise to his Grandkids. "Now, all three of you close your eyes!" They did as told and stepped out of the RV. "Okay! Open them up!"
They did as told and craned their necks to read the sign above them. "Welcome to Sparksville!" Max exclaimed.
"Sparksville, like firecrackers?" Yukiko asked. She and the younger two gazed around the small town in front of them. It was bizarre to say the least, nothing she had ever seen before.
"Is this place great or what?" Max looked at his kids expecting them to be amazed. The only good reaction he got was out of Yukiko.
"This place looks amazing! Is that a giant fishbowl!? I wonder if we could get one for the Inn?" She mused.
"I wouldn't recommend that," Gwen told her. She was ignored due to Yukiko putting all of her focus on the bizarre town.
"See, Yukiko, has the right idea. What's more exciting than the world's largest fishbowl?" Max asked.
"Yukiko is a weirdo, so I'm not surprised she's amazed by it. Literally anything else is better than that," Ben rudely, responded.
"As the Mayor of Sparksville I welcome you as seekers of wonders," A middle aged man in a blue suit walked up to them. His monotone voice had caught their attention.
Max turned his attention to his Grandkids. "I know you guys are probably excited to see 'IT', so I'll go check us in," Max handed the tickets to Yukiko, then walked away.
Ben and Gwen shrugged at each other while Yukiko was shaking in excitement.
The first exhibit they walked to was called "THE JACK-A-LOPE". A very shabby looking shack with a ticket booth in front of it. Ben pressed the bell on the booth.
The Mayor walked forward, surprising them. "Ticket please."
"I thought you were the Mayor?" Ben asked as Yukiko handed over the tickets.
"He who wears the crown is burdened by many hats, son," The Mayor(?) answered.
"Like, Yu-kun and his Wild Card thing," Yukiko thought back to their fight with Margret. She walked ahead of her cousins as they made their way inside the shack.
"Mind the signs," He told them.
SNAP!
The first image shows Yukiko giggling at a fake camel while Ben pretended to sleep. Gwen was just confused by the fact that there was a fake camel there in the first place.
SNAP!
The next picture is of Gwen making a weird face, causing Yukiko and Ben to break into a laughing fit.
SNAP!
A sideways shot of Ben and Yukiko making more stupid faces, with half of Gwen's face being visible in the picture.
SNAP!
Yukiko had burned a hole in one of the fake picture cut outs, so she could be in the shot with her cousins. Both kids' faces were twisted in fear at how close the flames were to their heads.
SNAP!
They stood in a fake Planetarium next. Yukiko felt as if she could reach for the stars, but Ben had told her that was unrealistic. He was almost swatted for it.
SNAP!
They laughed at seeing a repair guy fixing one of the lights in the Planetarium, taking them out of the illusion of seeing the "Stars".
SNAP!
Yukiko was amazed by the gigantic stacks of cards, saying that she wanted to bring them to the Inn. Gwen once again had to convince her not to do that.
SNAP!
Ben sniffs a hot dog, ready to eat his lunch. Yukiko sips on some tea behind him while Gwen reaches for something out of frame.
SNAP!
Yukiko burst into a laughing fit from seeing Gwen spray Ben down with condiment bottles.
SNAP!
Yukiko was still laughing her ass off as Ben chased Gwen down with his hot dog. Throwing it at her in retaliation.
SNAP!
The Tennyson trio stood together with their arms folded. Yukiko and Gwen wore gag glasses, while Ben had on shades. The heiress was trying her best not to fall into another fit of laughter.
SNAP!
Ben and Gwen pretended to be fish as they stood in front of the giant fishbowl. Yukiko once again wanted to take it with her.
SNAP!
They rested at a bench, exhausted from the day's events. Yukiko fanned herself while Gwen drank a cup of soda. Ben rested his head on Yukiko's lap, so she tried to fan him too.
SNAP!
Yukiko couldn't contain her excitement as they finally were going to come face to face with 'IT'. Ben couldn't care less and Gwen looked interested in it.
They stood in front of a barn with the words "IT'S HERE" written on it.
"Through these doors lies the weirdest, wildest thing, ever to find its way to Sparksville," The Mayor guided them inside.
"Please tell me this isn't 'IT', because I can't stand 'IT' anymore," Ben complained.
Yukiko watched as multiple signs lit up around them, all referring to 'IT'. The words that the mayor told them before about minding the signs suddenly popped back up into her mind. She giggled seeing her cousins read off each other signs that appeared around them.
"This should be fun!" She exclaimed. Suddenly the lights cut on, and in front of them was one final sign. "THIS IS IT" it said. All three stood in anticipation for 'IT'. The sign lifted off the ground to reveal….!
A giant rubber band ball.
"This is 'IT'!?" Ben questioned.
"It's a big ball of rubber bands," Gwen said, disappointed.
"I wonder how they got all of them wrapped around each other?" Yukiko asked, not bothered in the slightest.
"And who knows what secrets lie within," The Mayor said, ammounosly.
"Uhhh, more rubber bands," Ben's smart mouth showed up again.
"Stay as long as you'd like. Just mind the signs," The mayor walked away from them.
Yukiko wished she could take some pictures of the ball. She was sure Nanako would love to see Sparksville, and so would her friends. "So, what do you two think?" She looked down at them.
"What do I think? I think these guys are full of IT! We've been had!" Ben exclaimed.
In a rare moment of weirdness, Gwen agreed with Ben on something. "It is pretty lame. I can't believe Grandpa was so excited about this place," She said. That was the moment Ben smirked and walked over to the giant ball.
Yukiko felt every danger sense in her body that whatever the boy had planned, wasn't going to be good. "Ben, do not transform!" Yukiko warned.
"I'm not gonna transform! I'm just gonna see what the back of this thing looks like," He responded as he walked behind it.
"What the back of it looks like? But, it's just one giant ball. It can't look any different behind than it does on the front-"
FLASH!
"And I somehow fell for that…" Yukiko wanted to smack herself. Her and Gwen stepped back as Four Arms lifted the rubber band ball off the ground.
"One good prank deserves another," Four Arms grinned.
"Ben! Put it down now!" Yukiko ordered.
"You know what, I agree. I think it's time to have some fun for once," Gwen smirked. She also believed that they were being pranked about the special rubber ball, so what's the harm in having some fun.
"Gwen!" Yukiko gasped in shock. Of all times for the two to agree with each other, it had to be now.
"So, what do you have planned?" Gwen ignored Yukiko.
"Oh I don't know...how about the world's biggest booger!" Four Arms replied. His answer caused Gwen to laugh.
Yukiko stood there in pure silence, it felt as if the world was suddenly turning upside down.
Four Arms began juggling the ball in his hands, his actions brought Gwen back to reality. "Careful, dweeb! You'll drop it!" Gwen yelled.
The heiress felt her soul return to her body. "Oh thank goodness, she's back to normal," Yukiko sighed.
"Not a chance!" Four Arms said, cocky.
"Put it down, Ben! Last warning!" Yukiko glared at him.
"Or what!? You're gonna set me on fire!?" Four Arms mocked as he held the rubber band ball with one hand. The ball began to tip over from being held at an unbalanced angle, Four Arms lost his grip and the ball fell.
It would've hit Gwen if Yukiko hadn't pulled the girl out of the way. The rubber band ball bounced through the roof and out of the barn.
"Oops.." Four Arms muttered. His female cousins glared at him for being careless once again. They ran out of the barn to see the ball bouncing all around the town, Four Arms caught it in his arms when it bounced into their direction. He lost his grip when the ball's momentum overpowered his strength, causing it to fly directly into the stack of cards. It finally came to a halt, ending the chaos.
Four Arms knelt down, knowing that this was all his fault. From behind him a fan and a hand came down to smack him against the back of his head. "Ow! What was that for!?"
"For turning me into a criminal!" Gwen yelled at him. Suddenly she felt Yukiko's fan smack her in the head too. "OW! What did I do!?"
"You encouraged his behavior in the first place! You can't shove all the blame at him for this one!" Yukiko glared at her.
"Thank you!"
"Shut it!"
Four Arms wisely closed his mouth.
"B-But, I-" Gwen was cut off by Yukiko again.
"But, nothing! Ben is going to fix those cards and put the ball back, then we are going back to Grandpa! Am I understood!?"
"Yes, ma'am," Both replied as if they were toddlers in trouble. However, as poorly timed as ever the Omnitrix started beeping and Ben turned back to normal. Yukiko's glare was directed solely at him once more.
"Okay...guess we'll need a new plan…" He chuckled nervously. He put his hand on the ball, missing the red sparks that emanated from his watch.
"What are we going to tell Grandpa!?" Gwen panicked. They were currently walking towards their motel room.
"The truth, nothing good is gonna come out of lying to him," Yukiko answered. Her answer didn't make Gwen feel better at all.
"What!? No! Telling him will get us in trouble!" Ben disagreed.
"Then you shouldn't have decided to play with something you shouldn't have!" Yukiko countered. "I'm the eldest so, I'm making the decision."
"Well, it's two against one in voting! So, we won't tell Grandpa!" Ben and Gwen both felt that lying to Max was the necessary step.
They reached the entrance to their room before Yukiko could throw out a retort. "This conversation is not over," She whispered to them. She pushed the door(?) opened to see their sideways room.
"Hey! There you are! Isn't this place a riot!?" Max was standing on the wall...or floor or whatever the hell it was.
"This is a stupid design choice," Yukiko said, bluntly.
"N-No! Nothing is a riot! There was a riot!? We don't know anything!" Gwen frantically replied. The girl's nerves were slowly breaking at the guilt in her stomach.
Yukiko shook her head at Gwen's inability to lie. "Grandpa, there's something that we have to-" She was cut off by Ben tripping her, causing her to fall onto the bed.
"EEP!" Yukiko landed on the soft mattress.
"What they both mean, Grandpa. Is that we can't wait to check out the bathroom!" Ben forced a smile.
Yukiko grumbled, her voice muffled by her face still being pressed against the mattress.
Yukiko slept next to Gwen as the morning arrived. The heiress was unsuccessful in her attempt to tell their Grandfather the truth due to Ben(And strangely enough a guilt tripped Gwen) stopping her at every turn. Eventually she decided to do it in the morning, when the two weren't high on energy.
"What the heck happened here?" Max's voice woke them up. The three of them fell out of their stupidly placed beds.
"He knows everything! We gotta come clean!" Gwen continued to panic, the guilt eating away at her.
"Sometimes it's hard to tell that you're a kid. Never admit anything unless you absolutely have to!" Ben rolled his eyes.
"She's a kid that doesn't want to suffer any of the consequences of lying, Ben. I'm going to tell Grandpa, whether you like it or not," Yukiko left to get dressed.
"She thinks she's so good and stuff! We don't have to tell Grandpa anything!" Ben rolled his eyes.
"Benjamin! Gwendolyn! Yukiko! Get out here!" Both kids felt a rising sense of panic at hearing their full names. Yukiko however was still in the bathroom getting ready for the day.
"Gwendolyn? We're doomed!" Gwen almost cried.
The two walked outside to see Sparksville completely ruined. Ben gasped at the sight before them. "Woah! What happened?"
"I don't know, it looks as if a tornado tore through here overnight," Max said. "Where's your cousin?" He asked.
"S-She's still getting ready in the bathroom," Gwen answered.
"Good!" Ben's mouth drew confused gazes from the other two. He was quick to save himself. "Uh, I mean, yeah! It was just a freaky nature thing! Right, Gwen?" He looked at her expectantly.
Not trusting her own voice at the moment to not spill the truth, Gwen simply nodded her head in agreement.
"I think it's pretty clear who's responsible for these juvenile acts," The Mayor appeared behind them.
"Juvenile acts? If I didn't know better I would say that sounds like-"
"Oh! I'm not talking about these youngsters," He cut Max off.
"You're not!?" The three exclaimed, surprised. Which caused Max to glare at them both in suspicion.
"Yeah well, if they didn't do it. Who did?" Max questioned.
BZZZT!
Something small and yellow zipped past Max. It grabbed onto Gwen's legs, revealing itself. It was a small black and yellow creature, (+) and (-) symbol on its back. Yellow electricity was flowing out of its eyes and head. The thing began zipping around the Tennysons until it stopped on Gwen's shoulder. It blew a raspberry into Gwen's face, before pulling her shirt over her head.
It zipped behind Ben and tapped his shoulder. He looked over at it with a blank face, not bothered by the creature at all. "What was that?" He asked.
"Megawatt," The Mayor answered.
"Mega-what?" Ben questioned.
"Exactly, normally they're wrapped up tightly inside of 'IT'. That is until last night," He explained. The children realized this was their fault and if Yukiko was present then she'd probably just snitch on them right then and there.
"Some say it might be a ball of lightning that comes to life. Others think it's static run amuck. Tough to say," The mayor told them.
"Maybe it's an alien!" Gwen suggested.
"Alien!?" The mayor's stoic face showed emotion for once. "That's just plain kooky talk."
They saw the Megawatt place itself inside of the soda machine. "What's it doing?" Ben asked.
"It eats electricity. The more it gobbles, the more powerful it gets," He explained as the soda machine began spitting out soda cans at high velocity. "It also has a dangerous sense of humor." The four of them ran for cover to avoid getting pelted by the soda cans.
"You left that thing inside a rubber band ball all this time!? Isn't that kinda dangerous?" Max asked the Mayor.
"Not so long as people minded the signs!" He eyed Ben and Gwen. Both felt incredibly guilty at the moment and Ben knew that he had to come clean. He was just happy that Yukiko wasn't around to hear him admit it.
"Alright we did it! We're guilty!" Ben admitted.
"We could've just admitted this from the start!" Gwen yelled at Ben for just outright saying it after all that happened.
Max glared down at the two of them. "We're gonna talk about this later, you two. But, for now we need to get your cousin and stop this thing," Max said.
Yukiko finished brushing her hair and stepped out of the bathroom. Now, wearing a white dress with a dark brown vest over it, and brown boots on her feet. The young woman was ready to start her day. She looked around the empty room, wondering where her family was. "Probably outside lying to Grandpa. Lying is never a solution, it's better to be upfront with the people you care about…" As soon as she finished saying that, Yukiko realized how hypocritical it sounded. Especially since she's been lying to her family both American and Japanese about the events last year. The teenage girl released a sigh and walked towards the entrance.
"I am a massive hypocrite-" She was cut off by the sight of the destroyed town in front of her. "What happened out here!?" She ran outside, fearing for her family's safety.
"They went that way."
"What?" Yukiko looked over to see the Mayor sitting on a bench. "What do you mean? What happened here?"
"You and your little posy released the Megawatts from the 'IT'. Now, they're running amuck and your family is trying to clean up the problem. So, they went that way," He pointed in the other direction.
"T-Thank you! And sorry about the mess!" Yukiko sprinted down the street to help her family.
The Mayor leaned back in his seat and released a breath. "Sweet girl, too bad about that boy though."
What Yukiko expected to see once she caught up to her family was not the sight of her Grandfather being lifted off the ground by his underwear or Upgrade running around on a rubber band ball trying to hit a small yellow creature.
"My life keeps getting weirder," Yukiko sighed. She pulled out her fan and pointed it at the Megawatt who was laughing at her cousin. "AGI!"
The Megawatt was blown back by the fireball. It rebalanced itself and glared at the girl who shot at it.
"Yukiko!" Gwen exclaimed, happy to see her.
"You're finally finished with your make-up?" Upgrade teased.
"I don't wear make-up," Yukiko said.
"I-It was a joke…" Upgrade sighed.
The Megawatt growled at being ignored and zipped around Upgrade. The mechamorph tried his best to catch the little battery, but it was too fast for him. The Megawatt laughed and zapped Upgrade, sending him flying into the street.
"Ben!" Yukiko ran towards him, but was stopped by the Megawatt. It spat into her face and zipped away. "Ew! You little…! Agi!" Yukiko shot another Agi at the battery.
The Megawatt was prepared this time however, and dodged her attack. It fused itself into a water hydrant and blew it up. Yukiko was too slow to dodge the burst of water and it impacted her , drenching her completely. The young heiress was sprawled out on the ground.
Max and Gwen watched helplessly as Upgrade and Yukiko were beaten back. "How are we supposed to ground that eclectic devil?"
Gwen's face lit up in realization. "Grandpa! You're a genius!" Gwen ran off into a different direction.
"Well, thank you, Gwen. Why?" Max took the compliment.
Upgrade chased after the electric menace. "Hey, Sparky! Catch!" He tossed a manhole cover at the Megawatt. The attack was too quick for it to dodge and it was sliced in half...only to duplicate itself as a result.
"Oh crud…" Upgrade gulped. The Omnitrix beeped and he turned back into Ben. The Megawatts laughed at him, launching bolts of electricity at him.
Before they could do anymore a truck with a giant thermometer pulled up beside Ben and pulled him in.
"Grandpa! What are you doing!? And why is Yukiko suddenly weaning a large overcoat?" Ben asked. He saw Yukiko attempting to dry her hair off with her flames. When she heard his second question the heiress' face turned beat red.
"Ben, she's wearing a white dress and got drenched in water," Gwen explained to him. Proving to them that he does indeed have a brain, Ben's mouth made an "O" shape.
"And to answer your first question, Ben. We're gonna give these sparklers a lesson they won't forget!" Max stepped on the gas pedal. The Megawatts began flying after the Tennysons.
"Hey, Mega-Weirds! Come and get us!" Gwen activated the lift on the back of the truck, launching the thermometer at them. The Megawatts crashed directly into the thermometer, unable to conduct themselves through it.
"Good job, Gwen!" Yukiko patted her head as they stepped out of the truck.
"So, what happened to them?" Ben asked.
"We just used the biggest thermometer as a lightning rod. Who needs an alien superhero when you have good old fashioned brain power!," Gwen smirked at her own genius.
"Of course the ground is one big conductor," The Mayor burst Gwen's bubble immediately.
"What does that mean!?" Ben asked again.
"It means that the Megawatts can escape," Yukiko grimaced.
"They're just zipping around underground until they figure out some way back to the surface," Gwen gasped. Suddenly every telephone around them began to spark and shake erratically.
"They're in the underground phone lines!" Max realized.
Soon multiple Megawatts began pouring out of the telephones. The electric batteries have duplicated themselves by the dozen. The tiny batteries continued to wreak havoc upon Sparksville.
Ben threw a shit eating grin at Gwen, rubbing it in that this was her fault. "Ben Tennyson don't say a word!" Gwen glared.
"Hey! I'm just glad I wasn't the one who screwed up this time!" Ben smirked.
Yukiko hummed when Ben finished speaking. "Yes, but this entire situation is your fault, so take that smirk off your face," She popped his balloon.
"And you're the one walking around indecent, so take that smirk off your face," He retorted.
"D-Don't say that! It's not my fault that thing shot water at me!" Yukiko blushed in embarrassment.
The Megawatts all screeched at the same time, forcing everyone to cover their ears to prevent them from getting blown out. The large toothpicks from the top of a building shattered and fell towards everyone. "Everyone, move!" Max yelled. Everyone but the Mayor ran away from the toothpicks. The mayor just sat there uncaringly as the toothpicks embedded themselves into the ground.
Max glared at the Megawatts. "Those things' idea of good clean fun is gonna have us all pushing up daisies."
"But, I don't see any daisies around us?" Yukiko tilted her head confused. Gwen decided not to humor her this time and focus on Ben.
"How about you dial up some heroes, dweeb!"
"Don't you think I've been trying!" Ben tried to use the watch, but it was still in the Red. Their attention was taken by another boom by the Megawatts, who were all chanting something before zipping away from Sparksville.
"W-Where did they go?" Yukiko asked.
"I don't know, but I don't think it's good," Max answered.
BOOM!
A stronger explosion rocked the ground beneath their feet. The Tennyson family watched as the machine used for the Planetary exhibit was being controlled by the Megawatts.
A waitress walked up behind them. "Well that's something you don't see everyday. They brought that planetarium exhibit to life!"
"Come on! We'll head it off in the-" Max gasped in horror at the sight of his RV completely trashed by the Megawatts.
"Oh no…" Yukiko covered her mouth in sadness at the RV's state.
"U AM LAME? Heh, that's weak!" Ben laughed.
"Don't even get me started on the grammar and the spelling," Gwen added.
I reckon they're headin' for the big Hydroelectric Dam to power up. After that they'll just wipe the next town and so on and so on. They think it's funny," The Mayor drew on.
Yukiko looked down and noticed Gwen was staring at something. "What's up, Gwen?" The heiress turned her attention to the same direction. "Oh...I already like this plan!" The heiress giggled at the sight of the giant fishbowl.
Ben joined his cousins on the plan. "It's time to beat those pranksters at their own game!"
Two humongous waves of fire poured down on the Planetary robot. It backed away and looked to see who had attacked it. It saw Yukiko and Heatblast standing side by side, the heiress hiding her smirked behind her open fan.
"This is your only warning! Knock off the funny business or we'll fry your twinkling butts!" Heatblast threatened.
"Either way, I'm going to enjoy melting each and everyone of you down to the last molecule!" Yukiko grinned, devilishly.
The Megawatts' response was punching the Dam once more, creating cracks strong enough to knock Heatblast and Yukiko off the wall. The heiress grabbed onto Heatblast quickly, his fiery body having no effect on her. The fire man created his own hoverboard of fire to skate on.
"I didn't know you could do this!" Yukiko gasped.
"I didn't either!" He shouted, enjoying his new ability.
The two landed on the ground safely thanks to Heatblast. They turned to the huge leak that the Megawatts had created. "Better seal that up fast!" Heatblast said. Once he stopped the water, he created another fire board for the two of them to ride on. Heatblast began surfing the air wildly.
"Be careful, Ben! You aren't used to this!"
"Don't worry I got-uh oh!" He gasped when the board disappeared. He crashed into a pillar while Yukiko rolled safely onto the ground.
The heiress readied herself as the robot approached them. "Agilao!" The robot punched the fireball, meeting its power output. The shockwave pushed Yukiko back some, but she continued to hold on.
Heatblast jumped above her and shot a wave of fire at the robot, it responded in kind with another punch. Its fist travelled through the flames and socked Heatblast right in his face. The charcoal boy crashed into the ground.
"Agilao!" An Agilao with a bit more force in it, smashed into the machine pushing it back to the edge of the Dam. Before it could retaliate it was attacked by a hose of water.
"Surprise, Mega-Wimps!" Gwen laughed. She ran away before it could crush her with its fist.
"What's the matter? Can't take a joke?" Heatblast taunted. Above his head was a large fireball of his creation, he tossed it directly into the machine, destroying it.
"You really got burned with that one!" Yukiko quipped.
"Hey! Come on! That was mine!" Heatblast complained.
The Megawatts zoomed towards the two in an attempt to kill them, but a smokescreen prevented them from hitting the two heroes.
"Hey! Missed us, doofus!" Heatblast insulted them. He and Yukiko stood next to a round tarp. He blew a kiss to taunt them. The Megawatts roared in fury and zipped at the two. Both Yukiko and Heatblast ran underneath the tarp, with the Megawatts following after.
"They did it! They took the bait!" Max pulled the tarp off and revealed the Megawatts were trapped inside of the giant fishbowl.
Heatblast released a breath of fire, sealing the top of the bowl to prevent them from escaping. The Megawatts cried out at the injustice of their entrapment until Yukiko slowly crept towards them.
"You little insects got too full of yourselves. So, you're going to be punished for a lifetime! I promised that I'd burn you molecule by molecule!" Her 'Scary Face' as dubbed by Ben had scared the shit out of the Megawatts. Each one backing away in fear of the Priestess.
Yukiko used Amaterasu to phase inside of the fishbowl. Since her Persona didn't really have a solid form, this was a possible thing to do. "Agidyne." And the insides of the bowl erupted into cries of pain and agony from the intense heat. Yukiko's sadistic smile hadn't left her face as she watched the Megawatts burn. She wasn't going to kill them, but she was going to make them pay for humiliating her.
The Tennysons watched the horrifying scene take place. A new found level of fear was born from watching Yukiko's sadistic display.
"You folks have done right by us," The Mayor thanked the Tennysons.
"I hope this adventure wasn't a big setback for Sparksville," Max said.
"Nothing that would keep us from getting back onto our feet. Though, I'm not too sure on keeping these little guys here. Seeing as how people don't mind the signs," The Mayor looked at Ben and Gwen.
Yukiko walked over to the glowing globe, a chilling smirk formed on her lips once more, scaring the Megawatts again. "I think I have an idea…"
Chie Satonaka covered her eyes from the giant glowing orb that could rival the sun's brightness. She entered the Amagi Inn and saw Yukiko's mother finish talking to some guests.
"Uh, Amagi-san, what's with the giant light bulb?" Chie asked.
"Oh, that! It was just a gift Yukiko had sent over to us! A light bulb that'll help illuminate the way for guests to find the Inn!" She giggled.
"Wow! Where the heck did Yukiko-chan even find something like this!?" She asked.
"No idea, she didn't really explain, but I'm sure my daughter is having fun! Have a nice day, Chie-chan!" Mrs. Amagi walked away with a giggle.
Chie looked down at the sign in front of the giant light bulb. "IN CASE OF EMERGENCY! DO NOT BREAK GLASS!"
"Better warn Yosuke to not let Teddie near here…"
Chapter End
NOTE: If you're worried about the Megawatts somehow escaping...we can cross the bridge when we get there. Yukiko however got what she wanted.
Yukiko is also every sadistic and I enjoy that a lot.
Next chapter is Kevin 11!
Have a nice day!
