In an abandoned building Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen were fighting a robot. It fired a laser and hit Kevin in the shoulder.
"Are you okay?" asked Ben
"Been better." said Kevin as some of the rock around his body was breaking off.
The robot was firing lasers from it's fingers. Gwen was dodging the blasts by making new steps as they were destroyed by the robot. Then she landed on the ground.
"We're in trouble." said Gwen
"You think?" said Kevin
"How long before you can change?" Star asked Ben
"Still need a few seconds." said Ben as he messed with the omnitrix.
"I'll see what I can do." said Gwen
"I'll help" said Star. "Emerald snake strike." The robot was then wrapped up with snakes. Gwen put up a field around the robot. The robot struggled with the snakes then brook free. Then he hit the wall of the field and destroyed it. Star fired a blast at the robot and it was wrapped in snakes again.
"Ben." said Gwen as she adjusted the field to trap the robot. The robot soon got free of the snakes and broke anther wall of the field.
"We're running out of time here." Star said as she blasted the robot wrapping it with snakes again and Gwen adjusted the field again
"Almost there." said Ben as he continued to mess with the omnitrix.
The robot got free of the snakes again the destroyed the field.
"That's it, Ben!" said Gwen
Kevin absorbed some rock to repair the damage rock. Then he jumped up and punched the robot. He ran up and was about to hit the robot. But the robot grabbed him and began to squeeze.
"Let him go!" Gwen said as she let out a beam that sliced off the robots hand. Then the horn on the robot began to glow red.
"That doesn't look good." said Star
"It's okay. I'm back in business. You know who would be perfect for this?" asked Ben as he looked thru the alien selection.
"The suspense is killing me." said Kevin trying to get out of the robots cut off hand.
Ben hit the omnitrix. "Goop!"
"Ew!" said both Gwen and Kevin
"You know this is cool." Then Ben started to turn into a puddle and then flew thru the air. To the robot as a orb. The robot punched it. Ben reformed back to Goop's original form. "Hey." The robot then squashed him then Ben went thru the robots fingers and started floating in the air. Then the robot started to fire but the blasts all went thru Ben. Then the robot fired a big blast that blasted Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen out of the building. The robot went out side and hit Ben's disc that was over him away. This made goop into a puddle. The robot stared to repair the lost hand. "That's not going to happen." Ben said as the disc got up and flew over to the puddle and made it go inside the robot. Ben started to expanded destroying the robot form the inside as it exploded sending the goo over. Some even landed on Star, Kevin and Gwen.
"Ben, get off of us." said Gwen
"Sorry." said Ben as he collected all the goo.
"You ought to be." said Kevin
Ben then turned back to normal. Then Star ran over and grabbed his arm. "Well I didn't mind it much." said Star
"Thanks. That was pretty cool, though. Like the old days." said Ben
"Whatever. As long as we took car of this thing for good." said Kevin as he picked up the robots arm and putting it in the trunk of his car.
Later at Mr. Smoothy.
Kevin was whipping down his car. "I swear there's still Tennyson goo on here."
"No, there isn't." said Gwen
At the window the person gave Ben 4 smoothies.
"Nectarine smoothies for everybody." said Ben as he walked back to Star, Kevin and Gwen. Then someone waked the smoothies on to him. "Hey!" Ben said as the smoothies got on him. "I should have said on everybody."
Cash and T.J. laughed about what they did to Ben.
"Whoops. Hey, J.T., look like somebody had an accident." said Cash
"Yeah. Look at that mess, Cash. Need me to get you a sippy cup, Ben? Or maybe a diaper?" said T.J.
Then they both started to laughed again. No one around cared what Cash and T.J. did. Soon Star, Kevin and Gwen walked over, but Ben motion to them not to do anything.
"Okay. You got me. Good one." said Ben
"Well? What are you going to do about it, huh?" said Cash as he pushed Ben getting some of the smooties on his hand. "Egggh!" The crowd laught as Cash whipped it on his pants. "Now look what you made me do!"
Ben went for the omnitrix but then decided not to use it. "You know what? You two aren't even worth it." Cash was confused by what Ben meant. "It's ridiculous. Could you at least try being original, for a change?" Then Ben grabbed some napkins and started to whip of the smoothie off his shirt. "You've been doing the same old bully routine since the second grade, Cash. It's tired. Spilling my drink - seriously? I can't believe I used to be afraid of you. Look around, Cash. We've all grown up. But you're still the same pathetic loser who has to torment others just to feel good about himself. You're just sad." Then Ben walked away to Star, Kevin and Gwen as the crowed cheered. Cash left with an angry look. T.J. soon followed him.
As they left in Kevin's car.
"I'm proud of you, Ben. You could have totally gone alien on that creep." said Gwen
"I would have decked him." said Kevin
"I was about to hit him. Because I know Ben would have done it if someone was doing it to me." said Star
Later that night Cash and J.T. were walking down the sidewalk.
"Man, he got you good, Cash. You should have seen the look on your face when - when he said -" said J.T.
Then Cash looked back at J.T. "Nobody does that to me, J.T. - ever! Tennyson is gonna pay. I'll get him back. Then everybody will be laughing at him!" Cash said in an angry tone
J.T. looked around then saw something. "Hey. It's Kevin's car."
"Yeah? So?"
"So, if it was me, I'd go trash it. Leave Ben for later. You mess up Kevin's car, and everybody will know you're bad - the baddest in town. They'll be talking about it for years."
Cash thought about it then they started to push Kevin car. Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen were in the restraint eating. Cash and J.T. got Kevin's car to the edge and then Cash kicked it off. The car started to roll down the hill until it hit a stump making stuff fly out of the trunk. The cars alarm started to go off.
"Dude, that's hard-core." said J.T.
"Come on." said Cash as they went down to the car. Cash kicked the car and the alarm shut off.
"Look at all this weir stuff. You think we could sell it?"
"Hey." shouted Kevin on top of the hill. "What did you do to my car?!" Then Kevin, Ben, Star and Gwen started to run down the hill.
"Grab something." said Cash as he started to run away. T.J. grabbed a hand and started to run.
Kevin stopped where the car was.
"Kevin." said Gwen seeing Kevin was upset.
"They won't get far." said Ben as he activated the omnitrix.
"Ben don't." said Star as he grabbed his arm before he hit the omnitrix.
"I can fly after them. I'll find them."
"Then what - give up your secret? Like you said they are not worth it. Besides, they can't hide forever."
"Your right Star."
At a warehouse.
"All that cool stuff, and you grab an arm.?" asked Cash as he put it on the table.
"Well, I think it's pretty cool. Kinda like a glove. Look." said J.T. as he put on the arm. "Behold the awesomeness of my mighty robot arm!" Then he made some gunfire sounds. Then a blast came out of the arm. "Aaah!" They set up some bottles and J.T. fire a blast hitting a bottle "Whoo-hoo-hoo!"
"Alright!" Then T.J. then fired at the rest of the bottles. "Give it!"
"I found it!"
So?" Cash said as he took it of J.T.
"So it's my turn."
"It ain't finders keepers, J.T." Cash put on the arm on. "It's mine." Then he fired a blast and started to laughing maniacally as he kept firing.
"Cash... you okay?"
"Oh, yeah. This will scare the juice out of Tennyson. Last time he'll ever talk smack to me."
J.T. chuckled. "That'd be hilarious." Then J.T. looked at Cash. "You're not joking."
Later when Cash was laying down. J.T. sneaked up on Cash but he woke up with red eyes. Then J.T. fell.
"I said, it's mine."
The next day at Kevin's garage. Kevin was working on his car and Gwen was taking a nap on a chair.
"Can't believe those guys touched my car. Pushed it down a hill. Ohhhh." muttered Kevin to himself.
Then Ben and Star entered the garage. With Ben holding two drinks.
"You've been here all night?" asked Ben
"And I'm not leaving until my ride is cherry." said Kevin
"Want some help?"
"You want to help me? Go away."
"Fine by me."
Then Ben put the two drinks down on a table and started to leave. But Star picked up one of the drinks. "No juice for you!" said Star as the two left the garage as Gwen woke up.
Kevin grabbed the drink they left and started to drink some. "I'm sorry about your car, Kevin, but you don't have to be such a jerk to Ben." said Gwen as she got up and walked near him.
"Ugh. I got some kind of fruit bone in it." said Kevin. Then Gwen took the drink away from Kevin. "Yeah. Okay, I'll go get him." Kevin was leaving the garage as J.T. ran to it.
"Where's Ben? I got to warn him. Something's wrong with Cash." said J.T.
"The guy who messed with my car? And weren't you with him?"
"I-I-it was his idea - really."
"Uh-huh." said Gwen
"Cash is looking for Ben - says he's gonna teach him a lesson."
"I wouldn't worry about Ben. I'd worry about your friend. Where is he?" asked Kevin in an angry tone
"At - at the old mannequin factory downtown. We hang there sometimes. Okay - all the time."
"Got it." Kevin said as he started to head there.
"Kevin, don't do anything stupid." said Gwen trying to stop him. But it failed. "Waste of breath. What happened to you, J.T.? Back in first grade, you and Ben used to eat past together. You were nice. Then you started hanging with Cash."
"Cash isn't so bad. I make him laugh. And he always has my back." said J.T.
"Both of you act like total jerks."
"Cash is Cash. What do you want from me?"
"Seems to me you have a lot of influence over him."
"Enough so I get to watch him beat people up instead of getting beat up myself."
"Sounds like the basis of a great friendship."
"I..."
"Why are you still here, anyway? If Cash is such a good guy, why don't you go hang out with him?"
"Look, I just wanted to warn Ben."
"Don't. It's not like when we were little. Ben can take care of himself."
"Well what about me? Cash is seriously bent. I mean, something's wrong. And if he finds out I told -."
"Nothing will happen to you, J.T.."
At the old mannequin factory.
"Knock, knock." said Kevin as he knocked the door in. "Don't bother hiding. Your weasel friend already told me you were here."
"Levin, I don't have any beef with you." said Cash from the shadows.
"That's where we differ. You trashed my car." Cash came out of the shadows and his right arm looked like the robots they fought before. "Okay. That's a surprised."
"Pretty cool, huh? I can also do this." Cash said as he fired a laser at the wall. "You were just about to leave, right?"
"No. This is good. This is really good." Kevin said as he absorbed the stone pillar.
"What are you talking about?"
"See, now that you're all jacked up, I don't have to hold back." Kevin then jumped up and hit the ground sending a shock wave. Cash jumped as Kevin thru a table at him. Cash kicked it destroying the table.
"That didn't even hurt."
"Yeah? How about this?" Then Kevin ran up and tried to hit him. Cash blocked and dodge some of the attack. Then Cash grabbed his arm and punched him across the room making him hit into the wall.
"No way!"
Kevin went underground and uppercut Cash. Kevin was about to hit Cash. When he blasted Kevin into the ceiling and fell thru the floor and landed in the basement. Then Cash then started to blasted Kevin when he was down. Then Kevin rolled out of the way and dodge his blasts. Kevin crawled and started to absorbed some metal. Cash saw Kevin was doing this and jumped down and started to blast Kevin before he could finish absorbing the metal. "Tack your best shot." said Kevin still down on the ground. Cash then blasted Kevin back up to where they were before. "Okay. That was pretty good."
"Guess this means you're not the coolest kid in town anymore, Levin."
"And you are? Not on your best day."
"You don't have to worry, Levin. This isn't about you. Ben Tennyson - that's who this is about. You tell him - 3:00, Mr. Smoothy parking lot. If he doesn't show, I'm coming for him." Then Cash left.
At Mr. Smoothy both Ben and Star were having a smoothie.
"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for -" said Gwen as she came up to Ben and Star. "How many of those things did you two have today?"
I only had 3." said Star. Then Ben looked at Star. "Okay, 5." Ben still looked at her. "20. What we don't have smoothies on Mewni and this corn smoothie is soooo good." Star said then she continued to drink her smoothie.
"And for me. Let me put it this way - enough to know carrot and chocolate aren't two great tastes that taste great toge-" Ben stop as he noticed J.T.
"Hey." said J.T.
"Why is he here?"
"He came to warn you.." said Gwen
"It's Cash." said J.T.
"I wasn't worried at first, but Kevin went after him hours ago."
"You're worried about Kevin? Kevin's going to destroy him." said Ben
"That's for sure." agreed Star
"Kevin's not like that. He's changed." Said Gwen and Ben and Star stared at her. "A little." They continued to look at Gwen. "Okay, maybe this is bad. We should go."
"I'll show you. We're not far." said J.T. As they left Ben and Star thru away their smoothies.
They soon found themselves at the old mannequin factory.
"It's all messed up, Like there was a fight." said Gwen
"It's abandoned. It probably always looked like this." said Ben
"These holes in the wall are new, but the garbage has been there forever. And there, by the loading dock -" J.T. stopped talking when he saw Ben, Star and Gwen and ran to join them.
They entered the building.
"Kevin?" called out Ben
They saw Kevin seating with his back against the wall.
"That doesn't look good." said Star as they ran up to Kevin.
"Ugh. Bet you're loving this." said Kevin
"Kevin, what happened? Are you hurt?" asked Gwen
"Mm. Not as bad as it looks."
"Hold on a minute. Cash did this to you?" asked Ben. Then after a second both Ben and Star laughed for little bit and then stopped.
"Sorry that was to funny." said Star
"Yeah, we're stopping now."
"He must have got a hold of some alien tech. He kind of looks like that robot we fought yesterday." said Kevin
"J.T., is there anything you forgot to tell us?" Gwen asked J.T.
"Uh... maybe. When we -I mean, Cash trashed your car and all that stuff fell out, we grabbed something - a big metal glove. It shoots lasers. I tried to get it back, but he wouldn't give it up. It's like it possessed him. I'm telling you - he's not himself." said J.T.
"He called you out, bro - 3:00, the Mr. Smoothy." said Kevin
"Okay. This is gonns end - now."
Kevin coughed. "More like in 15 minutes." said Kevin
Ben looked at the omnitrix. "Doesn't tell time."
"Go. I'll be okay."
Then Ben and Star started to head to Mr. Smoothy.
"I'll come back for you after." said Gwen as she ran off as well.
"Wait up!" said J.T. as he decided to come with them.
At Mr. Smoothy.
There was an explosion. Then Cash showed him self he almost looked like for the robot from yesterday except he still had his head. All the people started to run away.
"You all thought I was so funny. Who's laughing no?!" said Cash as the people ran away in fear.
"Hey!" said Ben to get Cash's attention. Cash turned around and saw Ben walking his way and Star stayed back. "What is your problem?"
"You're my problem, Tennyson. But now I've got power, and no one can stop me - not even your friend Kevin. That's right. I kicked Kevin Levin's butt. And you're next, Tennyson."
"I'm not going to fight you, Cash."
"Well then, I will just kick your butt and take your girl, Star."
"Hey!" said Star with some anger.
"Star is no prize." said Ben
"Then you better fight." said Cash as he was about to blast Ben.
"Cash!" said J.T. as he and Gwen got there. "look, this is messed up. We were supposed to be having fun. This ain't you, man."
"You ratted me out!" Cash fired a blast at J.T. but Gwen blocked it with a shield.
"Nice friend you got there." said Gwen
Cash was about to attack J.T. but Ben turned into Chromastone and tackled Cash.
"Cash, listen to me. You don't want to do this." said Ben. Then Cash fired a blast at Ben it refracted and hit the Mr. Smoothy sign. He fired again but this time Ben absorbed it and fired a blast more powerful and fired it at Cash ending he to the ground. "You can't beat me, Cash."
"You think just because you're some kind of freak, I'm gonna stop? I'm never gonna stop - ever!" said Cash. Then he hit Ben sending him to the ground. Cash then grabbed Ben by the leg and started to toss him around hitting him into stuff. Soon he tossed Ben into a truck. Ben then got up and waged his finger. Cash then charged at Ben. They grabbed a hold of each others hand and tried to push each other.
"Why are you doing this? Why me?
"Why... not?"
"I'll show you why not." Then Ben started to over power Cash as he pushed him to his knees. "It doesn't have to be like this way, Cash. Neither of us wins anything by fighting. Just stop!"
"I can't."
"Yeah, you can." said J.T.
"No. The machine wants to fight." Then a helmet appeared on Cash's head and the damage Ben did was repaired. "Look - it's fixing itself already."
"The Cash I know isn't gonna let a pile of scrap metal tell him what to do. You're the toughest kid in school. Fight it!"
"How?"
"That thing doesn't control you - you control it."
"Maybe." Then Cash started to glow. Then Cash started to return to normal. "Get... off... me!" Then J.T. came over and took off the arm and thru it on the ground. Ben turned back to normal.
"Thanks." J.T. said to Gwen. "You too. We should get together sometime and eat past." Ben and Star were confused of what J.T. said "Come on, Cash. Let's go." Then J.T. and Cash left.
"I feel like I'm forgetting something." said Gwen
"You did. We have to lock that robot glove up someplace where it can't take control of anyone else." said Ben
"True. But that's not it."
"You forgot you were going to buy me a smoothy?" asked Star
"I think you had enough for today." said Ben
Later that night at the old mannequin factory.
"Hello? Anybody? Hello?" shouted Kevin still there waiting for someone.
AN.
