"Where are those fools?" Hannibal said impatiently "how long does it take for them ta find an RV? One of ya go see what's keeping those idiots."

"I'll do it" Ed replied and made his way to the door. Suddenly, a fast blue streak zoomed into the room, knocking him over.

"What in tarnation?" Hannibal asked angrily.

Locating its' objective, XLR8 grabbed Gwen, chair and all, and rushed from the room with her.

"Get that thing!" Hannibal ordered "and bring it back alive."

XLR8 stopped long enough to pull the gag from Gwen's mouth. "About time you got here" she said, "where's grandpa?"

"Not far from here" XLR8 replied "come on."

"At least untie me first!" Gwen shouted.

Before the blue alien could use his claws, he was blasted from behind. Upon recovering, he saw a collection of BB members standing behind him. He dashed into action, dodging the attacks of Slipstream and WV, but a tremor from Temblor caused him to lose his footing.

"Got ya!" the villain said, but XLR8 slipped under his legs and ran towards Gwen.

"Back off alien dude, or the girl gets it, seriously" Ed said.

But Gwen used her legs and slammed the chair into the villain. "Even tied to a chair, Lucky Girl still takes 'em out" she beamed.

"Celebrate later" XLR8 said "they won't stay down for long."

He ran towards the Rust Bucket but found one more obstacle blocking his way; Ember.

"I was hoping to take out big red for what he did to me at the hotel" she said "but you'll do just fine."

"You can hit what you can't catch!" XLR8 mocked and began zipping around the lot, dodging guitar blasts.

Finally, Ember conjured up a big green wall of energy, which not even XLR8 could pass through. He slammed into it and hit the ground, where he was quickly frozen by WV.

Moments later, the Ominitrix timed out and Ben reverted to his normal self again.

"Well how about that" Temblor said "after all the trouble he's caused, the alien is just a little kid."

"A kid who can kick your butt!" Ben replied.

"Take him to Hannibal" WV ordered "he'll know what to do to with him."

As they dragged him and Gwen off, they were unaware they were being watched by someone nearby.

"Now boy, are you gonna tell me the secret of yer alien powers?" Hannibal asked.

The captive Ben was being held tightly in Temblor's powerful grip.

"No way!" Ben said "I'm not telling you anything!"

"Have it yer way" Hannibal said "but it would be a shame if something should happen ta yer little sidekick."

To emphasize the point, Ember pushed her glowing hand closer towards Gwen's face.

"No pressure Ben, but my life is kind of at stake here" Gwen said.

Ben sighed, "okay, you win" he said "this thing on my wrist, it's called the Ominitrix. It's some kind of freaky alien device that allows me to transform into a bunch of different aliens."

"Fascinating" Hannibal replied "if I could figure out how such a device worked, I could make enough to help us rule the world. Hand it over and we'll let you and the girl go."

"I can't, it's kind of bonded to my DNA" Ben said.

"A little problem, but not one that can't be fixed" Hannibal said "kill the boy and remove the Omnitirx. And while we're at it, kill the girl too, she annoys me."

"She annoys me too, but I've never thought of killing her!" Ben said "okay, maybe once or twice."

"Ben!" Gwen shouted angrily.

CRASH!

Suddenly the Rust Bucket crashed through the wall of the warehouse. Out of the door came Max, wearing his old Plumber uniform.

"Hands off my grandchildren" he said.

"Dispose of the old man first" Hannibal ordered.

Ed and Slipstream ran forward to do so, only for Max to toss a few smoke grenades at them.

"Dude, this smoke is not good for my hair, seriously" Ed said; Max then subdued them both with bolas.

"Go get 'em grandpa!" Gwen cheered.

During this distraction, Ben wriggled free from Temblor's grip.

"Now it's time to give you guys a Fourarms beatdown!" he said using the Omnitrix to transform into "Cannonbolt?" he shouted.

"Aww man, I thought I fixed this stupid thing!"

Then he noticed Temblor readying himself to make an earthquake. "Not this time!" Cannonbolt replied, rolling into a ball and bowling him over.

Max meanwhile made his way towards Gwen, only to find his path blocked by Ember.

"Give it up, old man" she said "you can't beat me."

"You'd think that" Max said, "but you'd be wrong."

He ducked a blast from her then pulled an aerosol can out of his pocket and sprayed it in her face.

"Aaaah it burns!" she screamed, running off.

"Grandpa, what was that stuff?" Gwen asked.

"A little something the Plumbers came up with to handle supernatural creatures" Max explained "it was designed to incapacitate them until we could suck them into the Null Void. She'll be fine, but I don't think she'll be giving any concerts anytime soon."

As he spoke he untied Gwen, and once the last of the ropes fell away, she hugged her grandpa tight. After she opened her eyes, she noticed Ottoman heading straight for them.

"Get back grandpa!" she said and kicked the chair right into the villainess, which connected with her chest.

"Hurt by a chair, the ultimate irony" she said, before collapsing.

Cannonbolt meanwhile was protected from Weather Vane's powers and rolled towards a nearby box. As expected, it gave him the momentum to knock her from the sky. Hannibal looked at the carnage as his minions lay sprawled out, and the Tennysons stood triumphant.

"Give it up Hannibal" Max said "your teammates are defeated and your plans are over."

"Ya think you've beaten me that easily?" Hannibal said "I'm more resourceful than ya think. Moby Morpher!"

Suddenly, Hannibal turned into a spitting image of Fourarms and rushed forward to engage the heroes.

"You might look like Fourarms, but I'll be you don't have his strength" Cannonbolt said "allow me to test my theory."

Turning into a ball again he rolled forward as fast as possible. The Hannibal-Fourarms tried to stop him, but was slowly pushed back. Suddenly Cannonbolt backed up, then rolled forward again; this time Hannibal couldn't stop him and was sent flying through the rear wall of the building.

"Ouch, that's gotta hurt!" Cannonbolt replied.

"Can we go now grandpa?" Gwen asked.

Later, the Tennysons were back on the road, hopeful that they had seen the last of the BB.

"I'd heard about the existence of an evil talking bean when I was with the Plumbers, but they said he was locked away" Max told the kids.

"Well he's obviously not anymore" Gwen said.

"Big deal" Ben replied "I whooped his bean butt once and I can do it again."

"And I helped too" Gwen said "and that proves I can be Lucky Girl on a regular basis."

"Fine" Ben said "but you'll still only be my sidekick."

"Sidekick?!" Gwen shouted angrily "I'm nobody's sidekick! If anything, I'm your partner!"

"I don't need a partner, especially not my dweeb cousin in an ugly costume!" Ben said.

"You take that back, booger face!"

"Make me, dog breath!"

"Spaz!"

"Weirdo!"

From the driver's seat, Max sighed, "this is going to be a long trip."

Meanwhile, back at their secret HQ, the Brigade were licking their wounds.

"That little kid should count his blessings" Hannibal said "he was lucky this time, but if we meet again, he won't be so fortunate."

"Yeah, next time we'll get the drop on him" CF said "and I've got the perfect thing to help; an official Galaxy Wars phaser. Now granted, it's just a replica, but I figure…"

"Oh shut up!" everyone else shouted.
