Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen were diving around in Kevin's car. They stopped at warehoused and got out.
"Ben, you sure this is the place?" asked Kevin
"That's what the tip said." said Ben
"Yeah, that's what worries me. You don't get tips. I get tips. You got no connections."
"Come on, Kevin. I got connections."
"Yeah, like who?"
"Um - uh - like Gwen?"
"It's true. He does know me." said Gwen
"A lot of support there, Gwenn. Thanks."
"We could just go take a look and see." Then Gwen made stairs and Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen walked up them. They looked through a window and saw Forever Knights.
Kevin tough the roof and absorbed the stone. "Forever Knights." said Kevin
"Up to no good as usual." said Star
"Showtime." said ben as he activated the omnitrix and hit it. "Chromastone!" Then Ben jumped thru the glass braking it. Then Kevin, Star and Gwen followed. "All right! Nobody move!" But the Knight's kept working.
"Hey! Did you guys hear us?" asked Kevin
"I don't think so." said Gwen as her arm went through a Knight.
"What are these?" asked Star
"Holograms." said Ben
"Good guess." said a voice. Then the thing in the building started to flicker and then disappeared. Then someone reviled himself. "Magister Gilhil of the Plumbers. Magister Prior Gilhil. I'm the commanding officer of this entire quadrant. You're all under arrest for impersonating officers of the law." said Gilhil as he showed his badge.
Ben then turned back to normal. "Under arrest for what?!"
"Impersonating a Plumber. We're the only law-enforcement organization recognized by all signatories of the Milky Way treaty. That makes what you've done an interstellar class felony."
"Sounds bad." said Kevin
"If I were you, I'd keep my big mouth in check."
"If I were you, I wouldn't threaten a guy who could kick your can halfway up the street and back."
"You felling froggy, son? Then, jump."
Gwen grabbed Kevin's shoulder. "And if you're feeling smart, don't." said Gwen
"Ribbit." said Kevin as he swung a punch at Gilhil. Gilhil grabbed his fist. Then he grabbed Kevin and tossed him across the room.
Gilhil walked up to Kevin who was still on the ground. "Stay down, son." said Gilhil. Kevin got up and absorbed the metal and punched Gilhil a few times. "Much as I'd enjoy going a few more rounds with you, I don't have time the time." Gilhil pulled out a blaster out and fired it wrapped around Kevin and lift him up into the air. Ben then activated the omnitrix. "Don't." Gilhil said aiming the blaster at Ben.
"Do." said Star with her wand at the ready. Gilhil fired and then Star fired at Gilhil's blast. Ben then hit down the omnitrix.
"Goop!" said Ben. Then Ben ran at Gilhil and started to wrap around Gilhil making him unable to do anything. "You want to talk? Let's talk."
They went up to the roof.
"I don't see why we got to talk to him." said Kevin
"Because I'm the Plumber officer in charge for this whole section of space." said Gilhil
"Then, you know we're the good guys." said Ben
"What I know is that over the last couple of months, I've gotten several reports of you kids passing yourselves off as Plumbers."
"Our grandfather was a Plumber." said Gwen
"Max Tennyson. He was a good man. But that doesn't make you Plumbers. And you. You two don't even have a claim by Blood." Gilhil telling that part to Star and Kevin.
"Yes, I do. My father - my real father - was..." said Kevin as he stayed silent of a moment.
"Kevin?" asked Gwen
"Nothing. Never mind."
"The point is, there's a reason we shut down Plumber operations on Earth five years ago. After Vilgax was destroyed -" said Gilhil
"You mean after I destroyed him." said Ben
"Credit due. But Earth is a backwater level-2 planet. Without an imminent threat, I can't allow Plumbers' resources to be wasted here. I've got over 300 inhabited planets under my watch."
"Look, Magister - can I call you "Magister"?"
"The other Plumber we met was named Magister, too -Magister Labrid." said Star
""Magister" is a rank, not a name. You pretend to be Plumbers, but you know nothing about the job."
"We never pretend to be anything." said Gwen
"Aliens are attacking our planet. We're just fighting to keep it safe." said Ben
"I've read a number of reports on your activities. There is no evidence of significant alien activity here." said Gilhil
"We've seen them! I wrecked on of their ships."
"I've assigned a new magister to this region. He'll check in on Earth sometime in the next few months. If you have proof, present it to him and let him take care of Plumber business."
"A few months?!"
"I'm inclined to give you kids a break. Ben, you wear the omnitrix, so you already have special dispensation. The Galvin have requested that you not be interfered with in minor matters. Star you're a princess, so you have some dispensation as well. And the reports I've read indicate that, as you say, you've never impersonated a Plumber. But you..." Then Gilhil looked at Kevin.
"Yeah? What?" asked Kevin
"...you've got a record. You've done time in the Null Void for a variety of crimes."
"He's changed." said Gwen
"He did his time." said Star
"He's been helping us." said Ben
"He's been impersonating a Plumber. Give me the badge you stole." said Gilhil
"Don't take my badge, man. Please." said Kevin
"Now! Or you're going back to the Null Void." Kevin then took the badge out of his pocket and gave it to Gilhil. "Thank you." Gilhil pressed it and it went black. "You're free to go. But if you ever get involved in Plumbers' business again, I don't care what Azmuth says or if your a princess... you're all going to the Null Void. Even you, Ben and Star." Gilhil pressed a button on his suit and he disappeared.
"Is that it? Is this the end?" asked Ben
The next day at Mr. Smoothy.
Ben brought smoothies over to the group as he started to drink a smoothie. "Cheer up. Mr. Smooty makes everything better." said Ben. Then Star grabbed her smoothy. Ben gave a smoothy to Kevin. He started to drink it.
"Ugh. How does turnip-and-wheatgrass sludge make anything better?" asked Kevin
"Well, I like it. Besides, it's also got ginger in it."
"Oh, ginger. That solves all our problems."
"Seriously, Ben. Magister Gilhil pretty much just put us out of business. What at we going to do?" asked Gwen
Then Ben and Star took a seat on Kevin's car. "We're going keep doing what we've been doing - find the aliens, fight the bad guys." said Ben
"He said he'd put us in the Null Void."
"He also said Plumbers never come around here anymore. We'll worry about it when - or should I say - if he ever shows up again. "
"He took my badge!" said Kevin
"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"
Then Kevin grabbed Ben by his shirt. "You think this is a joke?!"
"Kevin, let him go!" said Star and Gwen
Kevin then let Ben go on his car. "Dude!" said Ben
"I want to be a Plumber, okay?! When I was little, my mom would tell me stories about my dad, how he was a Plumber and he did all this cool stuff." said Kevin
"I never met your dad." said Gwen
"Me either. But I still want to be like him."
"That's why you know so much about the Plumbers and alien technology and everything."
"It's why I agreed to help you guys in the first place. Mostly." Kevin opened his car door. "I need my badge back, Ben. It's the only thing that matters." Kevin got into his car and started to drive off as Ben got off.
in a unknown location.
DNAliens heard a sound and then talked in a alien language. Then from the shadows a guy wearing black and metal came out. The DNAliens started to fire goo at him. The guy fired black beams at them. He continued to walk after he nocked out the DNAliens. He ripped the door of as more DNAliens came to the door. The DNAliens fired at him but he soon fired back. A DNAlien tried to attack him from the back but was quickly tossed a side. He soon found himself in front of a Highbreed. "Who are you?! What insignificant alien speck dare to enter the command center of a Highbreed lord?! It doesn't matter. Dead men don't need names." said the Highbreed as he slapped the guy through a wall. The man lifted a piece of the wall.
"Nice shot. You're just a strong as I'd heard." said the man. Then he through the stone at the highbred. "That's it. Show me all of your power." The man blasted him. Then started to be in pain. "Give me your strength." He then stopped after a little bit. He then turnd over the highbred.
"What... do you want from me?"
"I want to make a deal."
At Kevin's garage Kevin was working on his car. Then soon Gwen walked in.
"Who's out there?" asked Kevin as he was coming out from under his car.
"Me. I brought you something to drink." said Gwen
"Yeah. Thanks, anyway. I -"
"It's not a smoothy. See? Regular soda." Gwen said showing him.
"Yeah. Okay." Kevin said as he took the soda and started to drink.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing."
"Fine, you know. Listen - I don't want to talk about my dad."
"Never crossed my mind. I brought you a present." Gwen said as she held a bag. She took a small wooden ball out and tossed it to Kevin.
Kevin grabbed to wooden ball. "What's this?"
"A wooden ball. Absorb it." Kevin absorbed it and his fist became wood. "How about this one?" Gwen the through a ball bearing. Kevin grabbed it and absorbed it. "It's a ball bearing made of... I don't know, ball-bearing stuff."
"Stainless steel."
"I brought you a whole bag of them, all made of different materials. That way when we're in a fight, you can change to whatever you want." Gwen then gave the bag to Kevin.
"Thanks, but it doesn't really work that way. I need a lot of whatever I'm copying."
"Oh."
"And what makes you think I'm still helping you guys, anyway?" Kevin but the balls back into the bag.
Gwen grabbed Kevin's hand as it turned back to normal. "Because you've changed."
"Maybe, but I'm still on parole. That magister can put me back in that Null Void any time he wants."
The got close then a Highbreed destroyed a wall. "Human scum! I will cleanse the world of your filth!" said the Highbreed
"Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up fighting monsters." Kevin then absorbed the metal of his car.
"It's a Highbreed. Ben says they're to strong for us to fight." said Gwen
"Well, Ben ain't here." said Kevin. Then he ran up and absorbed the stone floor. Then Kevin jumped up and punched the Highbreed. The highbred kicked Kevin into his car. Gwen fired some energy at the highbred and wrapped him up. The highbred soon broke free. Gwen fell to the ground. The Highbreed was about to attack her. Then she made a shield.
The Highbreed continued to punch the shield. "That won't save you, human!" said the Highbreed as he shattered the shield. Then he was about hit Gwen but Kevin got in the way and took the punched. The stone around his body was destroyed. Then someone grabbed the highbreeds arm. He looked back and saw Ben transformed into Humongousaur.
"Hey, ugly! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" said Ben. Then he tossed the Highbreed through the roof and was send in to the road. Then Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen ran to were the Highbreed landed."I wouldn't if I were you." Then the Highbreed roared. Then a light appeared. Then Gilhil showed up.
"Didn't take you kids long to get yourselves into trouble again, did it?"
"Us?! We were just..."
"Attacking me for no reason." said Highbreed
"He's one of the aliens we told you about. He's attacking the Earth!"
"Sure, kid. How about some proof?" said Gilhil
"They attacked me for no reason. They said they were Plumbers." said the Highbreed
"I've heard of enough. You four are under arrest. And you. I don't know what's going here, but I'm going to find out. You're coming with me for questioning." said Gilhil
"I beg to differ." said the man dressed in black and metal as he walked up. "Nobody's going anywhere. Not until I make your power my own." He fired a blast at them. Gwen put a shield to protect her and Star.
"Why me? You promised that if I helped you..." said the Highbreed as he passed out.
"I can't be trusted." The man continued to blast them as Kevin and Gilhil passed out. Ben started to grow and headed towards the man. "I'd almost forgotten how strong you are... Ben." Then he intensified the blast making Ben be pushed back. Then Ben turned back to normal. Ben was then sent to his knees.
"Who are you? How did you..." said Ben then he relived who it was. "Gwen, Star run!"
"What?!" said Gwen
"You' got to get away! You're our hope! Run!" Then Ben passed out. Gwen made the shield into a blast. But it didn't do anything. Star gave Gwen her wand. Then Star charged at the man, as Gwen ran away. The man blast Star. "You can't run forever, lovely Gwen. I'll have my revenge on you, too." Then soon Star passed out. "But first things first." Then man then transported them to a new location.
With Gwen.
As she ran away she was on attacked by Buff Frog.
"Give me the wand and you won't hurt you." said Buff Frog
"I won't let you tack Star's wand." said Gwen as her hands started to glow purple.
Buff Frog charged at Gwen. Gwen made a shield to stop the attack. Then Gwen soon used the shield to push Buff Frog back. Gwen then fired blasts at Buff Frog. Buff Frog was knocked back. Then Gwen fired a blast it wrapped around Buff Frog and Gwen flung him away.
At the building were the man was holding Ben, Star, Kevin, Gilhil and the Highbreed.
"I don't understand what's going on. That's the guy who tipped me off that you were impersonating Plumbers." said Gilhil
"And he scammed big ugly, too." said Kevin. Then Highbreed snarled. "Well, he did. Don't snarl at me."
"Star why didn't you run?" Ben asked Star.
"I did it, so Gwen can find us." said Star
"How?"
"I gave Gwen my wand." Star whispered to Ben
"I see good idea. I also know who he is."
"Do you really?" asked the man as walked up to them.
"You had to be somebody who knows all about the Plumbers and the Highbreed. But most importantly, you have to be someone with a grudge against us. Why don't you take off the mask dopey mask, Michael?"
"Wait. That's Michael Morningstar? The creep who tried to steal Gwen fro- Who - who stole all his powers from those girls at his prep school?"
"That guy again." said Star
"When you ruined my plan, you nearly destroyed me. But over the weeks, my powers returned stronger than ever. And so did my hunger. My old method of feeding sufficient." said Michael
"High-school girls too tough for you, huh?" asked Star
"To the contrary. I need more power than they can supply. Michael Morningstar no longer exists." He took oh his helmet reviling his face. "Now I am Darkstar."
"Ugh!" said Ben, Star and Kevin
"You did this to me, and you will feed my hunger!" Darkstar said as he blasted the five of them. "I will take your strength and make it my own until you have no more to give."
"If you could reach your omnitirx - maybe Alien X." said Kevin in pain
"No. If he absorbed all of that power, nothing could him!" said Ben also in pain
"Eventually, I'll have it all, anyway."
Gwen entered the building. "Michael!" said Gwen. Making Darkstar stop and saw her. "Ew. I swear you were better-looking when we used to go out."
"Laugh while you can. I've got the power of your teammates, plus the Highbreed and the Plumber. How could you possibly hope to defeat me alone?"
"Who said anything about "alone"?" Then DNAliens started to enter the building. "They're pretty mad about you kidnapping their boss." Then the DNAliens started to attack Darkstar. Darkstar started to blasted the DNAliens, but the DNAliens continued to attack Darkstar. Gwen sneaked around as Drakstar was attacked the DNAliens. Gwen fired the device that was holding her friends. They fell to the ground. Kevin absorbed the chain he was in and broke free. Then he broke the chains of Ben, Star and Gilhil.
"Thanks, kid." said Gilhil
Gwen then gave Star back her wand.
"What about me?" said the Highbreed still tied up.
"Hang in there." said Ben
Darkstar continue to fight DNAliens. "Too many... to absorb! said Darkstar
"And the bad news keeps on coming." said Gwen as she made a shield and ran into Darkstar. Ben activated the omnitrix and turned into Echo Echo. Then he send a sound wave at Darkstar. Then Star blasted him up into the air. Then Ben turned into Spidermonkey and kicked Darkstar down to Kevin. Who punched him back into the air. Ben then turned into Jetray and blasted Darkstar to the ground.
Ben then turned into Humongousaur. "Nighty night!" said Ben as he landed on Darkstar. Gwen put a shield around Her, Star, Kevin and Gilhil. They noticed that the Highbreed and the DNAliens left.
"The Highbreed is gone." said Star
"The DNAliens must have sprung him while we were fighting." said Kevin. Ben then turned back to normal. "You okay, man?"
"Tired." said Ben. He was about to collapse. When Star caught him and helped him to the ground.
"I got you! Just sit down and catch your breath." said Star
"Is he okay?" asked Gilhil
"Everything... spinning... going dim... need... smoothy." said Ben weakly
"He's fine." said Star as she still held Ben
Later after Ben got better outside of the building. Darkstar was tied up.
"You sure that rig will hold him?" asked Kevin
"It's level-6 technology, son. He isn't going anywhere but The Null Void." said Gilhil
"What about us?" asked Ben
"I've been giving that some thought. You guys made a difference today."
"And?"
"Maybe I don't need to reassign good men to this quadrant. Maybe they're already here."
"What's that mean?" asked Kevin
You've been drafted. Here's your badge back." Gilhil said as he gave Kevin back your badge. "And here's one for you." Gilhil gave Gwen a badge. "Also you." Gilhil gave a badge to Star. Ben held his hand out. "Don't push it, kid. You've already got the omnitrix. As of now, you're the only law in the quadrant. Do a good job." Then Gilhil pressed a button and then him and Darkstar disappeared. Kevin then started to walk away.
"Hey, where are you going?" asked Ben
"I got to tell my mom."
At Ludo's castle.
"So you're telling me that the wand was in someone else's hands and you failed to get it." said Ludo
"Yes master, I didn't know she had magic powers" said Buff Frog
"Go to your room." Buff Frog went to his room. "What should I do with him? Take away his milkshakes."
"Seriously! If he came her and told us about the wand not being in Star's possession. We could have gotten the wand. And what's to say he won't do this again or if he did succeed he could have kept the wand for himself. I think you know what you have to do." said Toffee
Soon Buff Frog was thrown out of the castle.
