"Gwen!" Swampfire said, looking towards where Gwen and Kevin stood, "What are you doing? I was about to put this guy in his place."
"Oh, you were?" the boy asked as he banged on the pink dome that contained him with his giant fists.
"Rex, stop," Ben heard a strict-tone voice coming from behind Gwen and Kevin. A man stood behind them, holding two swords and wearing sun-glasses. "They're here to help."
Ben saw the boy, who apparently was called Rex, stand down and turned his fist back to normal. Gwen's shield disappeared. "You okay, Ben?" Gwen asked, as she and Kevin walked up to him.
"Ben?" Rex asked, confused. "I thought your name was Albedo."
"Albedo?" Ben said puzzled. "No, he got away, thanks to you." He pressed the Ultimatrix symbol and reverted back to his human form. "I'm Ben." Rex and the other guy didn't say anything. "Ben Tennyson? Saved the Earth from Highbreeds? Defeated Vilgax?"
"Okay, who's a Highbreed and what's a Vilgax?"
Ben heard Kevin burst out laughing at the whole conversation. "Aw, man," he said chuckling, "Your cockiness went down on so many levels, huh Tennyson?"
Gwen stepped in, showing her badges, "We're Plumber's. Ring a bell?"
"Plumbers?" Ben saw a group of agents, being led by a monkey. "Good thing. I clog up the toilet every few days."
"Of course," Gwen realized, "This is a different dimension. The Plumbers probably don't even exist here."
"Let alone aliens," Kevin added.
"Wait a minute," ben raised his hands. "You guys know Albedo?"
"Yeah, I was kicking his butt a while ago." Rex said crossing his arms. "What? Are you his brother?"
"Brother? No! He, technically, is my evil twin."
"Hear that Six?" Ben looked at the man who just stood there quietly. He must be Six, ben thought.
Right there, some agents went up to Rex, Six and the monkey. "No sign of the Pack anywhere," said one of the agents.
Six looked at Ben and the others. "Come with us. White Knight would want to hear about this."
"No way!" Ben said. "What if we don't trust you?"
"Their rules Ben," Kevin whispered to him. Ben sighed and followed Six's order.
"On our way to Providence," Six said into his ear piece.
"Extraordinary," Rex heard his brother, Caesar, fascinated by the three. "No nanites in them what-so-ever. And this," he pointed at Ben's Ultimatrix, "Is by far the most advance piece of tech I've ever seen. It's almost extraterrestrial."
Rex looked at the three, "So, all of you come from another dimension where there are aliens?"
"Yep," Ben said, almost disturbed by Caesar's close examinations. "Uh, are you done yet?"
Caesar looked up at Ben, "Oh…yes. Of course."
"So this Van Kleiss guy," Kevin said getting up, "He's using these 'nanites' to turn everyone in the world Bemos?"
"EVOs, kid," Bobo corrected him, "EVOs."
"All of this, due to some crazy explosion." Gwen closed her eyes. "And everyone has these machines in them."
"Well, besides you three and White Knight," Rex pointed out.
"And Albedo," Ben included. "What I'm wondering is how he got those weird wings."
"It was caused by that weird thing on his chest." Rex remembered. "At first, I didn't feel any nanites in him, but when the thing started to glow, they spread through his body."
Before Rex could say anything, Dr. Holiday walked in, examining something on her pad. "I took a look at some of the street camera were Albedo was at." Her eyes broke away from the pad. "By looking at the chest piece on him, I broke down the parts as best as I could."
"And...?"
"the parts came from the LAATC. Today, they had stolen the exact same parts."
"Albedo told me Van Kleiss called it the EVO Shaper, Rex said, pacing back and forth. He hoped that it made him look more intelligent in front of Ben and the others.
"But why would Van Kleiss use it on Albedo instead of others?" Kevin asked, looking like he was trying not to fall asleep with the boredom; Rex felt the same.
He grinned, "Knowing Van Kleiss, he never likes to get his own hands dirty."
"All we know is that Van Kleiss now has the parts to rebuild this EVO Shaper again."
Before there were any more questions, Six walked in. "EVO attack in London."
"The Pack?" Rex asked egger to jump to the fight.
"No, Van Kleiss." Rex looked up at the computer monitor and saw White Knight.
"Then let's go," Ben said heading to the exit. "Time to show you guys how I do my hero work."
Six stopped in front of him. "No. you three will stay in Providence. We will-."
"Hold on!" Kevin quickly went up to Six. "And who made you our babysitter?"
"What Kevin is trying to say," jumped in, trying to calm the guys down. "Whatever Van Kleiss is planning, it involves Albedo, our enemy, too."
"Just take the kids, Six!" White knight snapped. "I don't want them around here anyway." The monitor went blank after that.
"Wow," Ben said breaking the silence, "Your guys have our own Azmuth."
Ben, Gwen, and Kevin walked towards the giant ship, ready to go to London. Before they went on, Gwen stopped Ben. "Ben, you need to stop acting like a big shot for one minute. We still don't know what's out there."
"She right Tennyson," Kevin said with a smug.
"And you!" she turned to Kevin and slapped his shoulder; he rubbed it. "You need to stop picking fights!"
"Hey, ugly people!" Bobo shout at the three. "You guys coming or what?"
"Is he calling us ugly?"
As Ben got on the ship, he saw an open seat by Rex and took it. They both just sat there quiet. "So…," Rex said trying to start a conversation. "You can turn into aliens?"
Ben smiled, "Yep, over a million. And you? How many of those machines can you make?"
Rex laughed, "To be honest, I'm not sure. I guess as many as I want." He scratched the back of his neck. "So, you're a big time hero in your home, too?"
"You got it!" Ben gave him a thumbs up, "You should of seen what it was like when everyone found out who I was. My parent even-," ben stopped right there, forgetting about the story about what happened five years ago. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-."
Rex smiled, "Don't worry about. It really doesn't bother me that much."
"You can cure EVOs?" Ben quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah, if they are curable." Rex looked at his hands, "But it's a pain sometimes." He looked at Ben again, "Other than that, I'm a walking weapon!"
As everyone else stepped foot in to the ship, the door shut closed. Everyone heard the turbines roaring to life. "To London we go!" Rex said striking a pose. Everyone, except Six, laughed.
