The next day, it was time to leave New York City. There was a fair not far out of town. The group decided to stop.
The first thing Ben did was to go on a roller coaster. He jumped onto the line. Gwen lined up behind him. They waited an hour on line before getting to the front. When Ben saw the height minimum, it was a foot taller than him. "OK, serious déjà vu. Time to…" he walked away from the ride and to the camper. He grabbed Gwen as well. "…use my powers to get on that coaster!"
He slapped his hand on the omnitrix. He transformed into Fourarms. "Hey, what about me?" Gwen asked. Fourarms thought for a moment. "I got an idea."
A tall stranger with a ridiculously large nose and mustache while wearing a trench coat waited at the end of the line. An hour later, the tall stranger was at the front. The man supervising the ride looked up in awe. "Uhhh…" The stranger walked pass him. He opened his trench coat when near the ride and Gwen ran out. The stranger was Fourarms, with Gwen. They rode the coaster together.
While on it, a green eyed-orange haired girl saw Gwen and the tall stranger on the coaster. She grinned. "Now to proceed with the plan."
Fourarms turned back into Ben. "That was great!" Gwen nodded an agreement. She spotted a Hall of Mirrors. "Let's do that one next!" Ben smiled. He shoved Gwen. "Your it! Get me before I get there!" Ben taunted. He ran and Gwen chased him. Then ran into the hall.
The place was like a labyrinth. Gwen ran and ran, but couldn't catch Ben. She grew tired and took a breather. Suddenly, a pair of arms reached out and grabbed her from above too quick for her to scream.
When Ben realized Gwen had given up, he decided to go back to her. He didn't walk far when he saw her. He waved at her. She ran up to him. "Ben, those weird drones are back!"
This particular drone looked like a 20 ft long metallic centipede. It shot green beams from its jaws. The robot centipede shot at a young couple. Suddenly, a blue-black blur flashed by and rescued them. The drone tried to see what it was. When the blur stopped, the centipede saw XLR8. XLR8 ran towards it to start the battle.
XLR8 dashed around the drone, chanting, "Catch me if you can! Catch me if you can!" The drone shot and hit XLR8 point-blank. He flew back and almost hit Grandpa Max. "How can that thing see me?" XLR8 asked. He picked himself up and dashed towards the drone again. He was hit ounce more. And again. And again. Soon, XLR8 had given up. "Try running zigzag! It might make it harder to target you." Gwen shouted. XLR8 shrugged. "It's worth a shot!"
XLR8 started again, though this time, he ran in a zigzagging pattern. The centipede fired many times, but just couldn't seem to hit XLR8. XLR8 jumped up and kicked the drone rapidly. The drone was out long enough for XLR8 to from a tornado around the drone. It was whirled up and fell back down. It crashed down. It was destroyed. The odd symbol on XLR8's chest began to flash red, and he turned back into Ben.
"That was great, Ben!" Grandpa Max congratulated. "It's all in the job." Ben said. He looked at Gwen. She was staring blankly at the destroyed droid. "Uhh, Gwen? You look mesmerized or something." Ben said. Gwen shook her head. "Oh, it's nothing. Just…nothing."
Ben shrugged, and the group decided to head off for the day.
That night, Gwen woke up at about 3 am. She took out her laptop and put something into the CD drive. A strange symbol appeared on the screen. The image buzzed out and a robot, a big robot that was blue and purple. "My queen. How was the mission?" It asked. "Perfect, with only minor difficulties. The Centipedel droid was eliminated. But I got her and I have taken her place."
In the background on the screen, another Gwen was hanging from her arms on a wall. She was screaming for help.
Gwen laughed. "This is going to work perfectly. I need more time, though. But soon, the omnitirix will be mine! Bwahahahaha!"
