So saying, she used her Gauntlet to reverse what Vilgax had done to June & Jake.
"That was a close one" June said, "I could've ended up as a decoration on somebody's lawn."
"And I'm just happy to be back to my old self" Jake added.
"An impressive display, but still futile" Vilgax said, "you can't possibly hope to defeat me."
"Check the motto, I can do anything, even beat squid faced jerks like you" Kim replied.
Vilgax growled and fired a blast at her, but she somersaulted out of the way. Vilgax then transformed into XLR8 and zoomed towards her. Kim saw him coming and used her Gauntlet to turn the asphalt under him into tar, stopping him in his tracks.
"This thing is spanking" she said, holding the glove aloft.
But her celebration was shorted lived, as Vilgax converted to Heatblast and burned his way through the tar. From his other wrist, he let loose several fireballs, which Kim transformed into birds.
"Face it Vilgax, whatever you can throw at me, I can take" Kim said, "I'm just tiring you out."
"Perhaps, but you forget one important detail" Vilgax replied.
"What's that?"
"I still have the Omnitrix" he said, using his Heatblast powers to melt the ground under her. Kim grabbed unto the edge of the hole that had formed under her, but that left her vulnerable to Vilgax, who transformed back to normal and lifted her up with his other hand.
"Here is your so-called 'hero'" he said, addressing the other heroes "but she will learn, as will all of you, that I cannot be defeated. Then you shall either bow before me, or die."
"Not quite" Kim replied, "see, besides the glove and the gems, Ron & I picked up one more little surprise. Now Ron!"
"Prepare to meet a blast from your past dude" Ron said, stepping aside to reveal an older man in a floral-print shirt.
"Grandpa?" Ben & Gwen asked in amazement.
"Put the girl down Vilgax" Max ordered, "or take a one way trip to oblivion."
So saying, he produced the giant weapon he had used on Vilgax once before.
"There was a time when I would've feared that weapon, but not today" Vilgax said "in case you haven't noticed, I am all powerful now. Besides, I doubt you'd want to hit the girl" Vilgax said, holding Kim in front of him.
"And now, I shall dispose of you and end any threat to my reign as ruler of this planet" Vilgax told Kim
"One thing though" Kim said, "you can't destroy me while I'm wearing the Gauntlet. It's impossible for the user of one Gauntlet to be hurt by the other. I thought you knew that."
"I did" Vilgax replied, shaking her until she slipped free of the massive glove and landed on the ground "and now that I have both Gauntlets and the Omnitrix, all shall bow before me!"
He slipped the other Gauntlet on his arm (though it was a close fit with the Omnitrix on there) and then pointed both at Kim.
"Any last words before you head to oblivion?" he asked.
"Yeah, you're through" she replied.
Indeed, Vilgax found himself unable to fire any kind of blasts at her.
"What is this?!" Vilgax asked angrily.
"Funny thing" Max began "on the way over here, I read about the history of the Gauntlets. Apparently, they can work separately or together, and are more powerful together. However, when they are together, they work as one, which means if one is disabled, they both are."
"Before you grabbed my Gauntlet, I re-arranged the gems" Kim explained "that disabled mine, and that means since you're wearing both, yours doesn't work either."
"No matter" Vilgax said "reality is still altered and I still possess the Omnitrix, which I will use to eliminate both of you. Then I shall reactivate both Gauntlets and wipe your friends out of existence!"
"You just forgot one thing" Max replied, "I have the big gun."
So saying, he let loose with the blaster, which knocked the evil alien overlord several feet.
"Danny, would you do the honors?" Leo asked.
"It'll be my pleasure" Danny replied, and fired two cryo-blasts, freezing both Gauntlets.
Then he readied his ectoplasmic blasts.
"NO!" Vilgax shouted, but it was too late. The blasts hit the frozen gloves, shattering them into pieces. Instantly, everything Vilgax had changed was reversed; Ace, Axel and the Xiaolin dragons were returned to normal, as were all the E.V.I.L members; June disappeared (back to Orchid Bay), and the Omnitrix returned to Ben's wrist again.
"All right, time for me to go alien again!" Ben said, turning into Heatblast, "now it's payback time!"
"You…haven't won yet…" a weakened Vilgax said, "I shall…destroy you all!"
"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before" Heatblast replied, "but something tells me you'll be too busy digging to do anything."
With that, he turned his fire on the patch of ground Vilgax was laying on. The cement melted, and Vilgax plummeted down the hole that remained.
"Tennyson!" he screamed, before he fell out of sight. Once he could no longer see him, Heatblast used his powers to weld shut the hole.
"That oughta keep him out of the way for a while" he said.
Meanwhile, Leo was addressing Kim nearby.
"Good work Kim" Leo replied, "I'm glad you chose to come back when you did."
"No big" Kim replied, "I save the world on a regular basis, remember?"
"Now then, let's capture the rest of E.V.I.L" Leo addressed his team.
By that point, the members of E.V.I.L had started to come to. "Where's Vilgax?" Jack asked "and why aren't I huge anymore?"
"He's gone," Leo explained "and you're going to jail."
"Oh, will you look at the time" Jack said, looking at his watch, "I got a…thing to go to…bye!" and he activated the heli-bot and zipped off.
"Where is that coward going?" Huntsman asked, "he should stay and fight."
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you haven't noticed, they outnumber us" Plasmius explained to his teammate.
"Good point" Huntsman replied, "we'll meet again dragon, and next time, you won't be so lucky!"
With that, he turned and ran, as did all the members of E.V.I.L.
"Are we just gonna let 'em get away Leo?" Raph asked.
"We've defeated them for now" Leo replied, "besides, without Vilgax, something tells me they won't be much of a threat."
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm up for a nice victory lunch" Ron said "I was thinking Bueno Nacho, any takers?"
"If you want something to eat, I just made up a fresh batch of bean paste" Max said "it tastes great and it's good for you."
"Why is it that you can stand up to aliens and other spooky things, but you can't cook?" Ron asked.
"I wonder that every day" Heatblast replied.
------
As Leo predicted, the unstable egos of the E.V.I.L members led them to quarrel with each other. Without Vilgax to keep them in line, they eventually disbanded and went their separate ways.
G.O.O.D decided to remain together, to battle other threats to truth and justice.
But the ways of good and evil are cyclical; as long as there is good, there will always be evil. And our heroes would soon learn that the hard way.
------
Meanwhile, in downtown L.A, a green alien fist punched its' way out of the street…
This summer, prepare for "GOOD vs. EVIL Again". The heroes of G.O.O.D have eventually gone their separate ways, but are called back into action when the previously thought disappeared Vilgax assembles a new team of baddies. A lot of the old team will return, but a few new members will also join. That means new battles, new friendships and new adventures.
