At Francois Dupont High School the students were assigned to do presentations on important figures in French history. It was Chloe's turn to present and she did so by creating a video all about herself.
Chloe's video opened with herself in a Queen Bee costume on the roof of her father's hotel sitting at a porch table. There was also a yellow/black carboard caption bar reading "Chloe TV" on it.
The video began with Queen Bee saying "Welcome to my secret lair. I may be a superhero, but I'm always happy to share my thrilling life with all my fans. Like today, my dear friend Ladybug showed up to ask me for advice.". The scene of the video then shifted to show Chloe but this time on the opposite end of the table and in her Ladybug costume.
"I admire Queen Bee so much. She showed me what being a superhero is all about and always fixes the messes Cat Noir and I get ourselves into." lied Chloe whilst poorly pretending to be Ladybug. So bad a performance she didn't even wear a wig or dye her hair to look more like Ladybug's black pigtails. Also at this point in the video it was so obviously edited that even the stupidest species in the universe would be able to tell.
The camera shifted back to Queen Bee "Oh, please. You would do the same for me." she spoke before The camera went back to Chloe dressed as Ladybug "Come on! Like you would ever cause a mess." said Chloe-bug
The camera went back to Queen Bee gloating of her perfection "You're right." replied Queen Bee as she and the other Chloe laughed at her own joke.
Ivan then interrupted the video by shouting "That's not Ladybug, that's you, Chloé!" this caused the entire class to laugh.
Chloe then paused the video and defended herself "Of course that's the real Ladybug!" she shouted which earned a facepalm from Marinette.
"But Chloé, could you tell me why you chose to do an assignment about yourself? Uh— I mean: about Queen Bee?" asked Ms Bustier.
Chloe per Ms Bustier's request explained in an expression of all her narcissism and brattiness. "Well, our assignment was to choose an important person in French history and I actually saved France. Even Ladybug says so… " replied Chloe before she clicked on the remote control to resume the video to further prove her point.
Back in the video on the screen the fake Ladybug said "Queen Bee really makes us stronger she truly is Miraculous." and the actual Chloe in real life spoke with her recorded self.
Alya then spoke up and Chloe paused the video again, "it's so obvious that's you dressed up as Ladybug. You didn't even bother to match her hair color." pointed out Alya
Chloe then had to quickly make up an excuse which once again even the stupidest species in the universe could figure out "Uh… she… just… dyed her hair blonde to look like me."
That lie caused the entire class to burst out laughing again and earning the rage of Chloe "Ugh, you're all a bunch of losers! Except you, Adrikins. None of you deserve to see the rest of my documentary." complained Chloe looking at Adrien when she mentioned him and returning to her seat.
Marinette then sarcastically said louder than intended "Oh, what a shame." However she hadn't realized what she had said until after she said it and looks shocked. That sarcastic comment caused the class to laugh even harder and Marinette to cover her mouth with her hands in embarrassment.
Chloe was shocked by the amount of laughter especially when she turned around and saw that Sabrina was laughing just as hard as everyone else; when Sabrina realizes Chloé is looking, she stops immediately but it didn't save her from Chloe's cruelty "I saw you laughing with the other idiots; you're fired!" yelled Chloe causing Sabrina to cry.
"How could you not laugh, Sabrina? The whole superhero sitch has totally gone to her head." said Alya standing up to Chloe.
She connected her phone to the classroom projector and played the moment Ladybug busted Queen Bee in the metro for paralyzing the metro driver on the pull down screen.
"She wasn't the hero; it was Cat Noir, Ladybug and the other two!" added Alya
"She had superpowers for like five minutes and went totally outta control!" said Alix
Marinette butted into the conversation. "We might not deserve to see your documentary, but you don't deserve to be called a superhero!" and she used air quotes when she spoke.
"I would only want to watch more just to see Chloe make a bigger fool of herself." added Ben earning some more laughs from the class.
"What?! You will pay for your insulting remarks, Dupain-Cheng and whatever your name is! threatened Chloe slamming her fist on her desk.
Miss Bustier then intervened to try to prevent one of Chloe's tantrums "Calm down now, students!" urged Ms Bustier.
Chloe disregards her teacher and gets up from her desk "This is ridiculous." declared Chloe stomping towards the exit "Chloé, class isn't over." said Ms Bustier
Chloe ignored her and made one last petty insult "You're all ridiculous. Utterly riii-diculous." Chloe opened the door only to run into someone. "Out of my way loser!" commanded Chloe shoving him and then stomping past him.
"Ugh— seriously? She'll never change." said Marinette.
"Excuse me is this room 105?" asked the person Chloe shoved. He also entered the classroom catching the attention of everyone. Particularly Ben and Gwen. The person was a boy with shoulder-length black hair, pale skin, and dark brown eyes. He's wearing a tight black T-shirt over a grey long sleeve shirt, brown cargo pants, black knee-length shoes, and a padlock necklace marked with an 11. It was Kevin Levin.
Ben was about to react when Gwen grabbed his arm signaling him to wait.
"No all the one hundred room numbers are on the first floor young man." replied Miss Bustier not knowing who Kevin was.
"Thanks sorry to be a bother." apologized Kevin although knowing him it was clearly fake. Before he left though he turned to face the class and immediately pinpointed Ben in the back. Marinette was now able to get a good look at him and noticed his 11 padlock necklace. She knew he had to mean something but what she didn't know.
"Aw hey Ben. Long time no see. Let's catch up sometime, say how about after school today in the park thats not far from here. You know where that is right?" asked Kevin with a glare in his eyes. The glare was subtle and it was like daring Ben to make a move and expose his own secret identity.
"Yeah. I'll see you there." Ben replied with venom in his voice. Marinette picked up on it as did the rest of the class but she in particular was curious about it.
"Good." simply finished Kevin who then took his leave.
Miss Bustier then resumed the class by moving on to the next presentation. However Ben couldn't focus. All he could think of right now is Kevin 11.
For the next several classes Ben couldn't pay any attention. Gwen tried to get him to focus but realized it was futile to try since Ben was always either lost in thought or looking around the room in search of Kevin as if he would just ambush him in the middle of class.
This behavior continued on into lunch and it was then that Gwen had had enough of it. So she sat herself down at Ben's lunch table in the cafeteria and confronted him on it. No one else was at the table since Ben's constant paranoid behavior was creeping them out.
"Will you give it a rest already Doofus. Kevin's not going to jump out from underneath a table just to scare you." complained Gwen.
"I know that Gwen. Maybe I am acting a bit paranoid but come on it's Kevin! Imagine if he steals my powers again! He'll be way stronger!" replied Ben.
"Ugh he said he wanted to meet you in the park after school right? So that's when he will probably ambush you if he does." explained Gwen.
Ben took a deep breath and breathed out. "You're right Gwen he probably wo-" Ben was cut off by the sound of a helicopter flying over the building. Everyone in the cafeteria began rushing outside to see what was going on.
"Ok I expected a lot of ways for Kevin to call me out but not from a helicopter." spoke Ben whilst looking for places to hide and transform.
Gwen rolled her eyes at Ben's behavior and pulled him outside to see what was really going on.
The helicopter was hovering over the courtyard with its left door open and Chloe standing half in half out of it. She was also holding a megaphone and had her seatbelt stretched around her waist so she wouldn't fall out.
"Hey there, losers! I'm headed to New York with my mom. I'm leaving you all behind in your pathetic little school and your pathetic little city. Adieu!" shouted Chloe through the megaphone and tossing flyers. The flyers contained a photo showing Chloé in front of the Statue of Liberty.
She and her mother's helicopter left after she finished tossing all of the flyers over the courtyard.
It took a moment for the reality of the situation to set in but eventually Nino spoke. "Chloé's leaving?"
"Forever?" added another student. Both sounded somewhat unsure.
"Looks like it." "Yeah." said Marinette and Alya
"After another moment everyone in the courtyard jumps in the air out of happiness (minus Ben); confetti was tossed and fireworks launched from who knows where. Everyone (still minus Ben), including Mr. Damocles the principal, dances and parties.
That is until Adrien walked in. Curious about what was going on he asked Marinette "Hey, what's going on here? What are we celebrating?"
"Chloe's gone! She's moving to New York!" exclaimed Marinette in joy
"Chloé left…? For good?" further asked Adrien.
Marinette replied still excited, not realizing that Adrien is not sharing everyone else's enthusiasm. "Yeah! Isn't it great?"
"Uh… no. I think it's terrible! How can you celebrate a thing like that?" questioned Adrien now bummed
Marinette frowns then speaks "But, Chloé's a total brat to everyone. She was useless anyway."
"Nobody's useless, not even Chloé. When I was little and wasn't allowed out, she was the only friend I had." said Adrien
"Ow— well, uh… shoot." was all Marinette could say about that not sure what else to say before Adrien continued "She left angry and unhappy. I can't celebrate that."
Adrien then walks off sadly and Marinette contemplates going after him, but decides against it and continues to party with everyone else.
As Adrien walked off to go moap in a corner he noticed one student wasn't partying. Ben was looking panicky and trying to get out of the way of partiers to get a better look at something from the railing. Adrien decided to go to him since he was the only one not enjoying Chloe's departure.
"Hey Ben." greeted Adrien. Ben flinched and turned around only to see Adrien and visibly relaxed.
"Oh hey Adrien." replied Ben
"How come you're not celebrating with everyone else?" asked Adrien leaning on the railing and looking down on the party.
"Can't focus on the party. I've... got a problem coming up and keep expecting it to show." explained Ben vaguely.
"Does it have to do with that kid that came into class earlier today? You seemed to really dislike him." asked Adrien.
"Yeah it does. I'm worried about what's going to happen when I have to face him." said Ben copying Adrien's lean on the railing.
"You're going to fight him?!" asked Adrien surprised. To him Ben never seemed to be a violent type of person.
"Probably. Me and him we were friends once but I ended our friendship when I realized who he really was." explained Ben.
"So why not try to repair your former friendship?" asked Adrien.
"A few reasons that I'd rather not say." replied Ben.
"Well I think that when you meet him today you should try to do that instead of fighting him." advised Adrien.
"If he tells me he's trying to turn over a new leaf and be a better person I'll be sure to try to help him down that path then." said Ben.
Adrien smiled at that as the two teens continued to watch everyone celebrate Chloe's leave to New York.
That was until The Bourgeois helicopter returned. But it wasn't Chloe in it. It was her father or as he was now known as Malediktator. The helicopter hovered over the courtyard like before.
Malediktator then began creating a growing giant orb of yellow energy, standing on the side of the helicopter. "By the powers vested in me…" He began as The whole school turns and looks at Malediktator, "…I declare this school a demolition site!" He yelled sending the big bubble down towards the group of previously dancing people.
The bubble dissipated upon impact scaring away the people on the rim of the explosion but the people on the inside froze for a moment as if a switch was just flicked in their brains. The principal Mr. Damocles spoke "Come on, students, let's wreck this place." following Maledicktator's order.
The Students of the school start throwing things around, kicking doors out of their hinges, throwing furniture down from the second floor and other destructive acts. The only students exempt from this were those on the rim of the yellow orb explosion like Marinette and those away from it like Adrien and Ben who were above the dispersion radius.
"I need to leave my father won't want me to be here. It's too dangerous!" quickly spoke Adrien excusing himself as he fled to the boys bathroom to hide and transform. Ben was happy at that but when he looked back down to the courtyard he saw Malediktator get off of the now landed copter and Gwen was amoungst those trashing the school.
"Great now I have to save her again." groaned Ben slipping into an empty classroom to transform.
"Right! Now, where is that girl, Marinette Dupain-Cheng? I've got a special declaration just for her." said Malediktator looking around the courtyard. He continued looking and speaking to himself about Marinette. "Where is that Marinette?"
"Hey, you! Do you have a demolition permit for this school?" shouted Cat Noir to draw Malediktator's attention. He was standing atop the helicopter's rotors.
"I don't need a permit. I am Malediktator, the all-powerful supermayor of Paris, and this is my city." declared Malediktator
Just then Ladybug swoops in "Paris is our city! It belongs to everyone." stated Ladybug
The two heroes get into battle stances and then engage Malediktator in battle, Ladybug landed right in front of Malediktator with her yo-yo at the ready. He punches but she dodges. Cat Noir hits him on the head with his staff, Malediktator tries to counter, but is too slow. Cat Noir dodges his punch and Ladybug wraps her yo-yo around his wrist.
Then Cat Noir attacks, but his jabs and strikes get parried or blocked by Malediktator's fist and wrist (the one not trapped by Ladybug) Malediktator eventually grabs Cat Noir's staff and throws him away, though Cat Noir lands skillfully on his hands and feet.
Malediktator then grabs a wooden bench to try and smash Ladybug, who dodges but at the cost of having to release her hold on Malediktator's wrist. She ends up standing next to Cat Noir after getting away from the broken bench.
Malediktator's next move was to tap into his akuma power. "By the power vested in me, I declare that your Miraculous are my prop-" He was cut off by a blast of fire to his back. It didn't knock him down nor burn through his clothes but it did disrupt his declaration. Malediktator turned to look behind him.
Standing there tossing a fireball in the palm of his hand like a baseball was Heatblast. "You know if you're going to be a supervillain at least look cool doing it." said Heatblast smugly.
"I so do look as you young people put it 'cool'! By the power vested in me I declare you extinguished!" declared Malediktator forming and tossing a yellow orb at Heatblast. Heatblast narrowly ducked it and it hit the wall.
Heatblast slammed his fists into the pavement melting it. The heat travelled to where Malediktator is standing and the ground melted around him trapping his feet.
"By the power vested in me I command you to release me!" ordered Malediktator forming two more yellow energy control orbs and tossing them at the heroes. Ladybug and Cat Noir both dodged one and Heatblast blasted the other with a fireball incinerating it.
Ladybug and Cat Noir flee to the roof. Heatblast followed them up there leaving Malediktator to try and free himself.
"It's time we impeach him and declare him powerless!" joked Cat Noir but speaking seriously
"The akuma has to be in his sash." added Ladybug before activating her Lucky Charm and getting a tranq gun loaded with elephant strength tranquilizer.
"Well that Lucky Charm is obvious. Tranq him." said Cat Noir.
"No that's too obvious it can't be that simple." replied Ladybug.
"While you figure that out, I'll take care of Malediktator." concluded Cat Noir before leaping away.
"Cat Noir wait!" yelled Ladybug. She was too late and Cat Noir was right above Malediktator when he fired one of his control orbs at him and struck him.
"By the power invested in me I declare that you are a cat!" declares Malediktator.
Cat Noir's attitude instantly changes. He starts acting like a cat just as Malediktator instructed. He meowed and chased a roll of toilet paper.
"Oh no!" said Ladybug still on the roof with Heatblast.
"Oh, what a cutie pie! Kitty kitty." cooed Audrey Bourgeois from the helicopter also under Malediktator's influence.
Cat Noir went over to her as she got off. Malediktator then tried to take his miraculous but he hissed and clawed at him.
"Enough waiting! If we don't act he'll take Cat Noir's miraculous!" said Heatblast leaping off of the roof and back into the courtyard. He landed right in front of the entrance/exit stairs of the school. Ladybug stayed behind to look for ways to use her Lucky Charm. She also removed the ammo container from the gun and strapped it to her waist using her yoyo as a belt of sorts and the tranq around her shoulder since it came with a strap.
Malediktator was about to try again to steal Cat Noir's miraculous but Heatblast struck him on the back again with a fireball. He angrily turned to face Heatblast before angrily stating "I am finding you to be more and more annoying you pyrobrat Leave me be!"
"Yeah well we're not done yet! pffftt" Heatblast blew a raspberry at Malediktator to taunt him. Given the nature that akumas are always angry or sad, they're easy to taunt. So of course it worked and he gained Malediktator's full attention.
Malediktator began to form another control orb on the tip of his fingers. "By the power vested in me, I declare that you will surrender!" yelled Malediktator releasing the orb at Heatblast.
Heatblast fake yawned and flicked a small fireball at the orb burning it to a crisp midair. "Is that the best you got!" further antagonized Heatblast sticking his tongue out. Malediktator growled and then charged at Heatblast.
That was exactly what Heatblast wanted him to do. He knew getting Malediktator angry would lead to him getting more and more reckless and impulsive. So he stuck his leg out at the last second and tripped Malediktator. He fell onto his belly but as he got up Heatblast kicked him in the back further pushing him. This time he fell down the stairs and out onto the sidewalk in front of the school.
This time Malediktator turned around before getting back up but what he saw when he got back up made him wish he had stayed down. Heatblast was forming a highly condensed fire ball within his hands above his head and was ready to toss it at Malediktator.
All Malediktator had enough time to do before being blasted with it was to say "Oh poop". After Heatblast tossed it it landed right before Malediktator and exploded, blasting him away from the school and into the air. He landed in the park which wasn't very far from the school.
Heatblast and Ladybug followed. When the two heroes arrived at the park they found Malediktator getting out of a crater formed from his collision with the earth. He was barely standing and clearly battered and exhausted.
"You...you think you've won...I'm just getting started... By the power vested...in me I declare-"Malediktator's last attempt to attack was cut off when he felt his energy being drained from behind him. He collapsed reverting back into the Mayor. When he fell Kevin could be seen standing behind where he once stood with his hand where up because it was touching Malediktator's back in order to drain his energy.
"Thanks for the pick me up." sinisterly said Kevin as he began to mutate. He glowed purple and black like any akuma but without the psychic connection to Hawkmoth and all the power of Malediktator. Kevin's arms grew more bulky and muscular. His eyes turned blank white and his skin the shade of blue that Malediktator's was. Kevin's hair also turned blue but a darker shade. He still had on the same clothes as before but now they were torn and stretched to fit over his twice as large as previously sized body.
Kevin gave himself a quick lookover before grinning and saying "I'm going to enjoy pounding the two of you into a pulp!"
Heatblast just glared angrily at Kevin and Ladybug shocked at Kevin's sudden transformation.
"What no quip, pun, or catchphrase? I expected more from you Be-" Kevin was cut off as Heatblast began blasting a wave of fire at him. After a moment the blaze stopped and Heatblast readied for Kevin's retaliation. When the smoke cleared Kevin could be seen without so much as a minor burn.
"Is that the best you can do?!" taunted Kevin before activating his stolen power. Kevin pointed his right hand at Ben and issued a command. "I command you to hand over the watch!" As he spoke an orange command orb formed on the tip of his fingers and flew off at Heatblast.
Heatblast threw a fireball at it disintegrating it before slapping the Omnitrix dial and changing into a new alien. In a flash of green light Heatblast turned into Snare Oh. immediately after the flash died down Snare Oh fired off his wraps around Kevin's arms to restrain him from using his power.
Kevin struggled to free himself. "Let go of me!" demanded Kevin before eventually tearing through Snare Oh's wraps and freeing himself. After Kevin freed himself he didn't attack but laughed. "You actually think you can stop me with an alien made of toilet paper and a girl in a bug costume. That's hilarious!"
Ladybug stepped forward with her yoyo and tranq gun at the ready. "I'm more than just an outfit. Hyuw!" replied Ladybug tossing her yoyo at Kevin. Kevin however was faster and grabbed it midair before she could wrap it around him. He pulled on the yoyo pulling Ladybug to him and her face met Kevin's fist as he punched her into the park gate bending the metal on impact.
Ladybug wasn't unconscious but was seriously hurt and could only focus her mind on her aching body. She needed time to regain her strength.
"Leave her out of this Kevin! This is between you and me!" yelled Snare Oh.
"Fine by me." simply replied Kevin. He was about to prepare another orb on the tip of his fingers but Snare Oh attacked first. Snare Oh leapt into the air and stretched his arm at Kevin punching him on the head. He landed in front of him, wrapped his right arm around Kevin's left, pulled it down and swung his leg into Kevin's face hitting him again before yanking him down to his side.
Kevin retaliated by pulling Snare Oh (who was still wrapped around Kevin's left arm) in close and smashing his big fist into his face then slamming him into the ground and pounding him again with his right fist repeatedly. "Just give up Tennyson and I'll spare you the pain of being beaten by me." offered Kevin whilst continuing to smash Snare Oh.
Snare Oh responded by breaking apart into bandages and then reforming behind Kevin and wrapping his arms around his head. He pulled Kevin's head down onto his knee slamming it there. Then Snare Oh tossed Kevin into a tree snapping the trunk.
"You really think you can beat me Levin! You never have so what makes you think you can do so this time!" rhetorically asked Snare Oh stretching his fist to punch Kevin again before he could get up. Kevin grabbed the attack by the arm and swung Snare Oh into the metal park fence .
"oomph!" grunted Snare Oh as he hit the fencing and fell to the ground. His arm also retracted as he got back up and stood to face Kevin.
"Believe it or not Tennyson. I wasn't actually here to fight you. But When I got the chance to even the score. How could I have passed that up." stated Kevin.
"Do you actually expect me to believe that at all?" asked Snare Oh.
"No. but regardless it's true." answered Kevin before forming another control orb on his fingers and firing at Snare Oh saying "I command you to obey me!" The orb fired at Snare Oh.
He leapt over the orb which redirected itself at him and followed. Snare Oh stopped right in front of Kevin for a moment then leapt over him at the last second and Kevin's own control orb struck him. "Gahhh!" cried Kevin falling to the ground after being struck.
"Now I command you to surrender!" ordered Snare Oh. Kevin didn't surrender and just laughed. "Hahahah. The orb already had the command to make you obey me! And I already do as I say so nothing changes." explained Kevin getting back up. He swung a punch at Snare Oh but it was caught midair by Ladybug's yoyo wrapping around it.
Kevin just grinned and used the yoyo to pull Ladybug right up to him and squeezed her whole body in one hand. Snare Oh raised his arms to attack but Ladybug screamed in pain first from being crushed by Kevin's fist "Ahhhhh!"
"Not a move! Or I'll crush her bones!" threatened Kevin causing Snare Oh to lower his arms.
Kevin grinned maliciously. He punched Snare Oh in the gut launching him through the metal park fence this time and onto the sidewalk on the other side of it. Kevin redirected his attention to Ladybug in his grip. "Any last words before I crush you?" he asked as Ladybug continued to struggle.
"Yeah. Next time... don't pull me in close." spoke Ladybug before barely freeing her arm with the elephant tranq dart in hand and jabbing it into Kevin's wrist.
"GAHHH!" exclaimed Kevin as he let her go and felt the world turn black. "What...wha...did you?" stuttered Kevin struggling to stay awake. He fell onto his knees.
"Easy I just gave you an elephant's dose of tranquilizer. You'll be out for awhile." explained Ladybug before Kevin passed out with a groan and reverted back to his normal teenage self.
Ladybug was shocked to say the least. This was the kid that was in the classroom earlier today! Before she could do anything else Snare Oh came back. "I'll take it from here. You just do your curing power and everything will be fine." said Snare Oh picking up Kevin's limp body and putting it over his shoulder.
"What are you going to do with him?" asked Ladybug
"Send him back to prison. What else would I do with him?" rhetorically asked Snare Oh. He was about to walk off but Ladybug grabbed his hand.
"We don't play judge! Not only that but he was an akuma victim! He's innocent." stated Ladybug.
Snare Oh turned to face Ladybug. "Kevin Levin is not an innocent and is too dangerous to be let free! Also he is not an akuma victim. He merely stole the powers of one! The mayor over there is the victim you should be helping." explained Snare Oh.
Ladybug let go of his hand but gave him a serious glare signaling "This discussion isn't over." She then grabbed the crushed tranq gun off her back and used her miraculous cure. When she turned around Snare Oh and Kevin were gone and the mayor waking up.
Kevin slowly and drowsily opened his eyes to find that he was in the Tennyson's RV. He looked around to see Ben playing a video game at the table, Gwen reading, and Grandpa Max searching through some tech.
When Kevin tried to move and make a run for it he found that he was handcuffed or rather energycuffed to the bottom of the table that Ben was at.
"Ah I got it." said Grandpa Max pulling out a Null Void projector. Kevin recognized it instantly and immediately recoiled at the sight of it.
"You're not going to use that on me again!" shouted Kevin struggling to breaking free of the cuffs. He just couldn't seem to absorb anything to give himself any power.
"Don't bother struggling. Those cuffs are made of energy nothing for you to absorb." stated Grandpa Max pressing a button on a remote control in his hand. The cuff attaching Kevin to the table vanished but then his free hand got pulled towards his still cuffed one. The energy formed another cuff around Kevin's other hand keeping his hands bound together like a pair of ordinary handcuffs.
Grandpa Max marched Kevin outside the Rustbucket. They were in an empty parking garage. Kevin couldn't tell if it was day or night since it was underground. Ben and Gwen followed them out of the Rustbucket. Grandpa Max was about to fire up the projector when Kevin spoke up "Send me back and I'm not telling you squat."
"You don't have anything to tell us that we need to know about." simply replied Grandpa Max firing the Null Void Projector creating a stable portal to the Null Void. He then began to march Kevin towards the portal at gunpoint of a standard issue plumber's weapon.
"Not even about Vilgax?" suggested Kevin catching the Tennysons off guard. Grandpa Max stopped and closed the portal.
"What about Vilgax?" asked Grandpa Max.
"Well I would tell you but you'll have to do something for me first." stated Kevin.
"What do you want Kevin?" asked Ben. His tone emotionless and cutting straight to the point.
"My freedom. You don't send me back to the Null Void and I'll tell you what I know about him." explained Kevin.
"No deal!" shouted back Ben letting his anger seethe through his previously emotionless expression.
Grandpa Max pulled Ben aside and Gwen followed "Hang on a moment Ben. This could be important. We need to think this through first." explained Grandpa Max.
"But we all know he's too dangerous to be let free to do whatever he wants." replied Ben.
"Yeah but if his info is any good it could help us fight off Vilgax if he attacks again." added Gwen.
Ben sighed "Fine if his info is good we'll set him free. If not we send him back to the Null Void anyway." suggested Ben.
The three turned to face Kevin. "Fine now tell us." said Ben clearly not happy.
"Well word on the intergalactic black market tends to spread so I've heard a few things. Some say Vilgax is conquering more and more worlds to prepare for taking earth. Others are saying he is training himself to take you on in a one on one battle." explained Kevin.
"That's it! All you have to tell us are rumors!" angrily spoke Ben.
"I wasn't finished yet Tennyson." barked back Kevin.
"So as I was saying those are the rumors but there are some things I know for certain. Vilgax will be coming for earth, soon. He'll also definitely be coming here to Paris, as long as Ben is here." added Kevin.
"So all you do know is that Vilgax is coming! Nothing about any weaknesses or something useful?" questioned Ben.
"There is one more thing I was going to say before you interrupted me again!" answered Kevin then resuming his explanation again. "When Vilgax does come. He's not going to just be coming for you and the watch. He's building and army... to take the Earth."
The Tennysons weren't sure how to respond to that. Kevin then concluded his speech "One last thing. When he comes. I want to help you take him down."
"You want to help us? Out of the goodness of your heart? Yeah right like we'd fall for that." scoffed Gwen.
"Not out of the goodness of anything. When you tossed us into the Null Void he and I had the chance to escape. He pushed me away from my escape and escaped himself leaving me to rot in there! I want payback!" growled Kevin.
Ben was about to say absolutely not but Grandpa Max spoke first "Give us a moment to discuss this." He pulled Gwen and Ben aside again and after a minute of deliberation they had their answer.
"Well Kevin we discussed it but if we let you go and let you help us fight Vilgax. There will be some conditions." stated Grandpa Max crossing his arms.
"Name them." replied Kevin.
"One no rampaging, no betraying, no violence!" stated Grandpa Max.
"Done." said Kevin
"Two, Even think of betraying us and it's back to the Null Void." continued Grandpa Max.
"Simple enough." replied Kevin.
"Lastly. No crime whatsoever! If you as much as steal or touch anything you're not supposed to it's-" Grandpa Max was interrupted by Kevin "I know back to the Null Void. I get it. I'm not going to steal anything. I can survive off my business dealings in the blackmarket. How do you think I've been living outside the Null Void?" rhetorically asked Kevin.
"Fine as long as it isn't dangerous for innocents." concluded Grandpa Max.
"Deal." agreed Kevin lifting his arms signaling for his release. Grandpa Max sighed as he dug out the remote from his pocket and pressed the release button. The energy shackles vanished and what little metal part they had fell to the ground.
"See you around Tennyson." farewelled Kevin walking off.
"I don't like this Grandpa. He's going to double cross us." said Ben after Kevin had left and the loaded back into the Rustbucket.
"I don't either Ben. But when it comes to Vilgax, we need to take every precaution to stop him." stated Grandpa Max as he drove the Rustbucket out of the garage.
For those of you who may be wondering. No I am not getting rid of Chloe she did not leave to New York. That will be more explained in the next chapter. Anyways this is the last of the 3 chapters and personally my favorite. Also we are nearing the end of this story and soon Vilgax shall come. I intend to release the next chapter at the end of August so expect it then or early September. Also I think I may go back and improve upon some old chapters cause i have reread them and noticed a lot of spelling errors I missed so I might do that. Thanks for reading please fav, follow, and review I appreciate constructive criticism and feedback.
