Plumbers' Helpers
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
In an old factory a man was panting as he ran from something and he fired an alien weapon behind him, he then stopped and ripped his face off revealing the man was a DNAlien who spoke in its language. Energy blasters then came flying towards the DNAlien who ran off, it tripped on the oil covered floor and his weapons skidded away from him. He ran to pick it up again but it was blasted to pieces and the DNAlien looked around as he heard something running around him. He then decided to run off when an energy bolt barely missed him and he ran off when a black and blue blur sped past. He then ran off until he then heard a truck start up and it backed up towards him as two energy beams wrapped around his wrists and pulled him towards the truck as the back of it opened up revealing a machine inside. The DNAlien was pulled inside it and the machine powered down and two aliens walked out of the shadows, a male Tetramand and a female Kinecerelan. "Another one bites the dust," the Tetramand said. A few minutes later the truck was driving down the street with the Tetramand at the wheel. "Did you see the look on that DNAliens face when we roped him?" he asked the Kinecerelan who was looking out the window. "What?" he asked.
"Forget it Manny," she told him.
"Helen, come on talk to me," Manny said as one of his lower arms poked Helen.
"Quit it!" she told him smacking his hand.
"Ow. What is with you?" Manny asked her.
"Nothing's with me. I just wish Pierce were here," Helen answered.
"Yeah I know me too," Manny said.
"Yeah, right," Helen said.
"What do you mean?" he asked her. "You're brother and me…"
"Argued over every single mission. Who's in charge, do it this way, no my plan is better," Helen said.
"Okay. Yeah, we disagreed but now that he's…." Manny said before Helen looked away sadly. "Helen, I'm just trying to do what we all agreed to do. Fry every DNAlien we can find," just then a screen beeped showing four dots.
"Five more of them. Heading to the sewer plant," Helen said and the truck turned around and sped back towards the sewer plant, both then climbed out and Manny held up a device.
"Can't get a lock on them. Stupid machine," he said.
"You want me to try?" Helen asked him.
"No," he answered as he moved the device around until he locked onto five heat signatures.
"You sure you know where you're going Sherlock?" Kevin asked Ben.
"For once can you close your mouth and open your eyes. Just follow the footprints," Ben answered.
"Could you both be quiet? There could be a guard around," Gwen told them.
"She's right about that," Daisuke said agreeing with Gwen.
"I swear I saw that alien head in here," Veemon said.
"Check this out, another one….." Kevin said before the sound was lost.
"What did he say?" Helen asked Manny.
"Doesn't matter. Let's dust them," he answered running off.
"We can't. The eradi-cannon needs more time to recharge," Helen said grabbing Manny's arm. "If we follow them they will lead us to a whole nest of DNAliens," she said before she saw Manny climbing a building and she ran after him, Manny jumped onto the roof and aimed his four blasts at the gang when Helen sped in front of him and grabbed them. "You never listen do you?" she asked him.
"They're getting away!" Manny told her.
"No, they're not," Helen said as she fired a device from her wrist at Kevin's car as it drove off. Later on Helen and Manny were back at a warehouse and Helen was watching a video of a boy who looked like a porcupine.
"August Tenth, we bagged another DNAlien. Third one this month, but something weird happened this time, we had the creep cornered and I had my energy lash around one arm, just as Manny was about to hook him he flashed a Plumber Badge, figured it had to be fake. But now I don't know. What if it was real? What if we were wrong about…." The boy said.
"Helen what is with you? Every night you're up here," Manny said as he followed Helen out onto the roof.
"Sometimes I like to look at the stars, you know think what's out there," Helen answered him.
"Out there? Out there is why we're all contaminated freaks. It's why we're kicking alien butt so nobody has to go through what happened to us," Manny said.
"Will you two stop it? Every day it's the same fight, I can't babysit you forever you know," the boy told them as Helen stopped the recording.
"I know," she said.
"Come here, I want to show you something," Manny said from a doorway and Helen followed him. "I ran the thermal scan from the sewer plant into one of Pierce's computers," he explained as both walked towards a computer and he pressed a button and all there was on the screen was static. "Stupid machine!" he shouted hitting the console and the thermal scan appeared before it turned into pictures of Gwen, Ben, Kevin, Veemon and Daisuke.
"Those are aliens, the blue short one I can get. But the others look human," Helen said.
"They're probably wearing ID masks," Manny told her. "I would have caught them, had you not stopped me,"
"They outnumbered us. I stopped you from starting a fight we couldn't win," Helen told him.
"Pierce would have done it," Manny said and Helen's eyes widened.
"No he wouldn't. And don't you dare use him as an excuse! Pierce found all this alien tech and made it work, when Pierce was in charge we were always careful, the one time we weren't," Helen managed to say before she turned around.
"I'm sorry okay. Look tomorrow we'll track their signal, we'll take it slow. We'll be careful," Manny told her and Helen walked off. "But once we find them, we'll do things my way," he said to himself. The next evening Manny and Helen were in their truck following Kevin's car which pulled up to Daisuke's home. "What're they doing?" Manny asked Helen.
"They're stopping at that house, duh," she answered and Manny frowned at her as Daisuke and Veemon climbed out of the car.
"Thanks for the ride Kevin," Daisuke thanked him and he smiled at her.
"No prob," he answered when everyone saw Julie and Jun in their Cryonite forms doing hand to hand combat with one another.
"What's going on?" Ben asked.
"Mama makes us train in our Cryonite forms for at least two hours at night whenever we have time and she teaches us new things as well," Daisuke answered with a smile.
"Sounds fun. But I better get Ben and Gwen home," Kevin replied as he pulled out of the driveway and drove off with Daisuke and Veemon waving at them.
"That house is full of aliens," Manny said as he went to leave the truck but Helen stopped him.
"Wait. If you got in now they'll warn the others," she told him and Manny growled but he stayed put. Thirty minutes later Manny finally lost it.
"Okay. I'm going in," he said leaving the truck.
"Manny wait!" Helen warned him but Manny didn't listen and he ran towards the house and kicked the door in and he pulled out his blasters.
"Alright you alien scumbags! I wanna see hands in the air!" he shouted and Julie and Derrick looked at him.
"A Tetramand?" Julie asked.
"Must be a Plumber's kid," Derrick told his wife as Daisuke, Veemon and Jun came down the stairs.
"What's going on?" Jun asked as Manny started to get irritated.
"I said hands in the air and don't move!" he demanded and Daisuke smirked.
"I'll handle this," she said before being surrounded by a golden light and she turned into Four Arms.
"What!?" Manny managed to say before Four Arms punched him sending him back outside making a hole in the wall. Helen witnessed this from inside the truck and she sped out and grabbed Manny and took him back to the truck and it drove off just as Four Arms jumped out and saw them fleeing.
"That's right! I better not catch you in my house again!" she shouted before turning back to Daisuke who pulled out her cell phone and dialled a number. "Ben, it's me. The weirdest thing just happened, a Tetramand and an alien that looked like XLR8 showed up at my house and the Tetramand tried to attack us but I kicked him out," she said. "Yeah I know it sounds weird but trust me. And be careful they might have followed Kevin's car here so be on the lookout," she told Ben before hanging up the phone.
With Ben, Gwen and Kevin, Ben had just hung up his phone. "That was Dai, she said a Tetramand showed up at her house and tried to attack her but she fought him off," he explained to the other two.
"Why would a Tetramand show up at her house?" Gwen asked.
"No idea. But she said they must have followed the car there," Ben answered as a fuel tanker which was driving past them swerved pout of control and crashed beside a fuel station and the car stopped. "If that tanker goes up we're gonna have a huge bonfire," he said.
"I've got the driver," Kevin said running off.
"I've got the truck, Gwen cover us," Ben told her.
"On it," she said running off as well before she sent a mana blast at the road sending it up in front of the bystanders protecting them.
"How come I get the easy job?" Kevin asked running along the tanker absorbing the metal and he ripped the door of the cabin and he pulled the driver out as the fuel ignited and Kevin absorbed the road covering himself and the man in stone as the gas station blew up. "You're turn!" he shouted at Ben who saw a fire hydrant and he held his hand out and the hydrant ruptured and he made the water hit the inferno and it slowly extinguished the flames.
"Hey freak! Catch!" Manny shouted tossing Kevin's car at Kevin.
"Not my ride," Kevin said before he was hit by his car. Helen then ran around Gwen creating a tornado lifting her into the air and Helen stopped running and Gwen fell to the ground but Ben made a hand out of mana and caught his cousin, Kevin struggled to his feet but Manny punched him down and picked him up.
"Did you see that? They saved that guy," Helen told Manny.
"Doesn't matter, one's hurt now's the chance to take them," Manny said pointing at Gwen and Ben.
"Not until we talk," Helen said running off and Manny dragged Kevin away and the two aliens drove off in their truck with Kevin.
"Where's Kevin?" Gwen asked.
"Gone," Ben answered as Jetray flew in with Jun and Veemon in her feet and she landed and turned into Daisuke.
"Let me guess, you just got attacked by a Tetramand and an XLR8?" she asked them and both nodded.
"And they've got Kevin," Gwen told them.
"How are we gonna find him?" Jun asked as Gwen closed her eyes.
"Uh….Gwen?" Ben asked her.
"Shh, I'm concentrating," Gwen answered him.
"On what?" Jun asked.
"I'm at one with the cosmic mana. Feeling the energy of the universe flowing around and through me," she answered.
"Groovy," Jun said.
"She's using it to find Kevin," Daisuke told her sister.
"Which I have," Gwen said. "Now all we need to do is rescue him,"
"Shotgun," Jun said and Daisuke rolled her eyes as she climbed into the driver's seat of Kevin's car and the other four climbed inside and Daisuke drove off. Meanwhile Kevin was trapped in an energy bubble while Manny and Helen argued or rather Manny ranted and raved while Helen ignored him.
"We had three aliens on the ropes, we could have fried them," Manny said. "And what about those aliens in that house?"
"You're the guy who busted into Dai's home. Dude, her father's a Plumber," Kevin told him.
"Sounds like the alien dirt bag is in for another whooping," Manny said.
"Let me out of this bubble and I'll show you what I can do," Kevin aid.
"Quiet!" Helen shouted making both look at her. "You're both acting like a pair of six year olds fighting on the playground,"
"I'm not anything like him!" Kevin and Manny shouted at the same time. "Grrrr!" they growled at each other, Manny then reached in and tried to rip Kevin's face off.
"Manny stop! It's not a mask!" Helen shouted.
"That's my face you jerk!" Kevin shouted.
"Doesn't matter. You saw his powers, he's an alien. I say we feed him to the eradi-cannon," Manny said.
"Eradi what?" Kevin asked and Manny pointed to the machine in the back of the truck.
"A disintegrator beam. It turns scum like you into dust," he said.
"That's not a disintegrator, it's a Null Void Projector," Kevin said.
"And Null Void what?" Manny asked.
"Probably a Mark 1. It's a museum piece," Kevin answered. "And you're a pinhead," he said before Manny fired his blasters at Kevin sending him to the ground and knocking him out.
"Why did you do that?" Helen asked him.
"He was getting on my nerves," Manny answered.
"What if you're wrong Manny? What if he's not an alien?" Helen asked him.
"You saw his powers, I'll prove it to you," Manny said picking up a device and he pressed a button and Pierce's voice rang out.
"I'm still working on that list of aliens we fried. It's not complete but…." He said as pictures of aliens appeared. "Ectonurite. Piscciss Volann, Pyronite, Vulpimancer,"
"Gotta be one like him in here somewhere," Manny said.
"Manny listen to me. Whoever he is, he has a Plumber's badge. Pierce said somewhere in his diary that one alien we bagged last summer has one as well," Helen said.
"So? It's a fake, him and his alien buddies are all alien scum. And you know what we do with aliens," Manny said looking at Kevin. Meanwhile Daisuke was driving Kevin's car towards the location where Kevin was.
"Can you go any faster?" Ben asked his girlfriend.
"You want me to get pulled over?" Daisuke asked him as Gwen sighed.
"What's up?" Veemon asked her.
"I'm worried," she answered.
"About Kevin?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, I mean we need to find him before something bad happens... it's not like I care about him... I mean who would care about a person who is untrustworthy, rude and arrogant... and how could you even say such a thing about me!?" she asked making everyone look at her.
"We didn't say anything," Ben told her.
"Oh," Gwen said embarrassed and the others snickered.
"Aliens. Heading this way," Helen said as she picked up her plaster and energy cuff.
"Move out," Manny told her and both walked out of the warehouse. "How close are they?" he asked before a black and icy blue blur shot past them surprising them as a familiar alien appeared.
"XLR8 is in the house," XLR8 said and she was now taller and her outfit had changed to black and white with icy blue streaks all over her body, her eyes had changed colour from green to gold and the Omnitrix dial was still on her chest. "Now, give us back our friend, and I won't have to embarrass you….much," she said as Ben, Gwen, Veemon and Jun now in her Cryonite form appeared. Manny and Helen started to fire their blasters at the group and Gwen made a shield of mana protecting the group.
"Looks like they want you to humiliate them Dai," Ben said and XLR8 grinned before she sped off and took Helen's blaster from her and then she sped back and kicked her sending her flying back and she crashed into a wall and Manny was headbutted in the stomach by Veemon and Jun jumped in and kicked him back.
"Sounds like my rescuers are here," Kevin said as he pulled out some pocket change and he absorbed it and his forearm was covered in copper and steel and he punched through the bottom of the energy bubble and he crushed the disc beneath the bubble and it vanished and Kevin hit the ground. "Four armed freak isn't the only one who is tough," he said before he absorbed some metal from a nearby pipe and he walked out to the battle and he smashed through the wall and Manny looked at him. "Nothing like a little iron in your diet to perk you right up," he said as Manny jumped at Kevin and tackled him to the ground but Kevin headbutted him sending him skidding back, Manny then pressed a button which made the truck back up and the back opened up revealing the Null Void Projector. Helen sped towards Gwen and Ben and spun them around making them dizzy and Manny punched Veemon who had jumped at him sending him flying into XLR8 and Jun ran to her sister when Manny and Helen lashed their energy cuffs onto her wrists.
"Hey!" she shouted as Manny and Helen threw her towards the Null Void Projector.
"Jun!" XLR8 shouted as she sped after her sister and jumped in after her.
"Dai!" Ben shouted as he ran after her but Kevin stopped him.
"They're gone. Trapped in the Null Void," he told him.
"It may be a museum piece, but it worked on your friends. And you lot are next," Manny said before they heard something and saw Daisuke and Jun climb out of the Null Void Projector in their Cryonite forms.
"It's not a disintegrator," Helen said.
"Lousy piece of!" Manny managed to say before Daisuke in a burst of speed slammed him into the ground knocking him out and Jun froze all but Helen's head in ice.
"Thanks," Daisuke said and Jun nodded. "Now, you're gonna listen and I'm gonna talk," Daisuke told Helen. And five minutes later Helen was unfrozen and Manny was conscious.
"So we're all aliens?" Helen asked.
"Kind of. One of your parents must have been human. The other not so much," Daisuke told them.
"Well how can you two switch back but we can't?" Manny asked Jun and Daisuke.
"Luck of the draw," Daisuke told him.
"Trust me. Your human form is probably even uglier," Kevin said.
"You want to go another round!?" Manny asked him.
"Any time pal," he answered.
"Tell your boyfriend to back off," Helen told Gwen.
"No you tell yours to….whoa he is not my boyfriend," Gwen told Helen.
"Well you act like it," Helen replied.
"Don't tell me who my boyfriend isn't….is," Gwen said.
"Think you're funny?" Manny asked Kevin.
"Hey, you're the comedian. You've got the face for it," Kevin said.
"Boy are you asking for it!" Manny shouted.
"I'm begging for it! Who's gonna give it to me?" Kevin asked.
"Me! With three hands tied behind my back!" Manny shouted.
"Hey! Stop it all of you! What am your baby-sitter!?" Daisuke shouted.
"You sound just like my brother," Helen said.
"Really?" Gwen asked her.
"Pierce was the one who always kept us grounded," Helen said before she sped off and brought back Pierce's diary and showed it to everyone. "Don't you see Manny? We've been capturing all those other aliens,"
"What other aliens?" Daisuke asked as Helen handed the device to her and she looked at all the aliens on it. "These might be other Plumber's kids. Like us, like you," she said.
"Okay, in that case we've got to go into that uh….what did you call it?" Helen asked Kevin.
"Null Void," he answered.
"Null Void and round up the aliens we captured and set them free who shouldn't be there," Helen said.
"Not a chance," Manny said.
"Well, I'm doing it," Helen said.
"What? Why?" he asked her.
"Because. It's what Pierce would do," Helen answered.
"Alright. For Pierce," Manny said and both headed to the Null Void Projector.
"Thanks. And sorry for you know," Helen said.
"Apology accepted," Kevin told her.
"See ya later," Jun told them.
"Good luck," Daisuke said as Manny and Helen jumped into the Null Void.
"That's not going to end well," Kevin said.
"Hey on paper, we don't make a good team," Ben said.
"True. Now I'm gonna swipe some of their equipment," Kevin said walking off.
"Kevin!" Gwen said.
"So not cool," Veemon said as everyone followed him.
