Chapter 22: The Return of Lucky Girl.
Before we get to the story…
A girl with white hair busted into a highly secure prison, using her magic bag's powers, and making grenades from them. She goes through like this for a few minutes, then finds the door she was looking for. She summons some rock dogs, and they break the door down. Inside is Hex.
Hex: "I see you have come."
White-haired girl: "Uncle Hex, I brought your staff like you told me, but I can't get it to work." She pulled it out of her bag, then Hex pulled it towards him.
Hex: "You've done a good job Charmcaster, but this can only be used in the hands of a master magician."
Charmcaster: "Yes, Uncle." They left back the way she had come in.
With us, a bus full of elderly people was coming down from a bridge, then just as it was about to fall, something grabbed it, and pulled it back up. This was me as Bio-Rex. I set it back down to the side, and they turned around to find me staring down at them. The old people stared up at me, then an old man asked, "Aren't you going to help us down?" I gave them a questioning roar.
Old lady: "We can't get down by ourselves, you know." I groaned, then became Fourarms.
Fourarms: "Alright. Come on, one at a time." I helped them all down, and I had used Upgrade to fix up their bus, and they left, after I separated from it.
Upgrade: "I can't believe they couldn't get down from the bus. They aren't as helpless as they say they are."
Max: "What can I say?"
Ben: "And that's why I don't like most old people." I changed back to normal.
Kyle: "Yeah. I know."
Gwen: "What happened to Alien X?"
Kyle: "I spent enough time as him. I spent the rest of the whole day as him stopping criminals, remember?"
Gwen: "Yes, but-"
Kyle: "But nothin'. Stopping criminals became way too easy. I like at least somewhat of a challenge."
Ben: "But Alien X can do anything by the snap of a finger."
Kyle: "Exactly, Ben."
Max: "I can respect that in a person."
Kyle: "I just lost the thrill of actually doing some leg work I guess."
Ben: "So, what are we doing next?"
Gwen: "Something I want to do for a change."
Ben: "Oh man!"
Kyle: "Okay."
Ben: "What?! You WANT to help Gwen with shopping or some stupid crap like that?"
Kyle: "Well, I could use a break and some relief tomorrow. Of course I will."
Gwen: "Ah! You are the best boyfriend ever!" She ran up and hugged me.
Kyle: "You're welcome."
Max: "We'd better get going." We walked back into the RV, and headed to the next town, which was Seattle.
We were at a magic convention.
Kyle: "Ugh…"
Gwen: "What's wrong Kyle?"
Kyle: "Magic? Seriously?! I thought we all had enough of magic after we beat Hex."
Gwen: "Maybe you have, but I haven't." I went Ghostfreak.
Ghostfreak: "See you outside, Gwen." Max grabbed me.
Max: "I don't think so."
Gwen: "If you leave, we are through!" I reverted to normal.
Kyle: "Fine." We continued looking through, and Gwen was less than satisfied, but Ben and I were trying on all these weird voodoo masks.
Kyle: "This isn't bad at all! OOH OOH! I'm Spidermonkey!"
Ben: "I'm Humongousaur! GRAAAAAARRRR!!!!" We pulled the masks off our faces, and laughed.
Gwen: "I sometimes wonder why he acts like this."
Max: "He's trying to be good with all three of us. He's trying to be, you know, family. He doesn't have one anymore, remember?"
Gwen: "Oh. That's why he acts immature around Ben."
Max: "Find anything yet?"
Gwen: "No. Not at all."
Max: "Let's see if you can't find something, eh?"
Gwen: "Okay. Ahh…" She walked around a bit more, then saw a ring that looked pretty interesting.
Gwen: "How much?"
Gypsy saleslady: " 10 bucks."
Gwen: "Deal." She bought it, and put it on her wrist. "This looks like the charm of Bazell I found before." She walked up to us, while Max was fooling around with us with the masks.
Max: "I'm FOURARMS! FOURARMS WILL SMASH YOU ALL!!!"
Ben: "NO! Even Diamondhead can't withstand this!"
Kyle: "But Humongousaur can! GRAAAR!"
Max: "Oh no! I'm toast! No!"
Gwen: "Hmm…" She ran behind us then found a mask herself.
Gwen: "BOO!!!" Max, Ben and I were spooked.
Gwen (Using her Ghostfreak impression): "But no one can defeat Ghostfreak! Ahhh hahahahaha!" She took off her mask, and laughed normally.
Ben: "Very funny, doofus."
Kyle: "Aww… Just when Humongousaur kicked everyone's butt, too."
Max: "So, found something?"
Gwen: "Yes. This thing looks like that…" She was topped by a scream outside, and a helicopter was falling down.
Kyle: "Looks like it's Kyoxys time!" I transformed into him, then morphed into Attack mode, and charged up, holding the helicopter up. A guy fell out, then I split into two of me, the other being colored more pale, and had no eyes, flew down to rescue the other guy. The helicopter blade was still spinning around, though, and it fell off, heading for Max and Ben. Gwen pushed them both aside just in time.
Gwen: "Whoa. What the…?" Her keystone glowed, then changed back to normal.
Gwen: "Wow! I'm Lucky Girl again!" She ran back to the RV, and put her old outfit back on, and ran back outside to help me. My clone was hit by the helicopter that collapsed out of my grip, and dissipated. I went Chaotix, and grabbed the helicopter, then spat goop all around the area, and made a web-like structure, and caught the helicopter, and Gwen had jumped back up, then caught the guy that was falling down.
Chaotix: "Lucky Girl?"
Gwen: "Exactly. I'm back in action!"
Chaotix: "Cool."
Ben: "Oh man! I liked her better when she wasn't Lucky Girl."
Max: "At least she's back."
Chaotix: "And I have some backup again."
Gwen: "Did we deal with the helicopter?"
Chaotix: "Yep." Both the helicopter and the guy were saved. I reverted to normal, and Gwen went back inside the RV, and changed back. We continued inside to the magic convention.
Hex: "It seems that Lucky Girl is back."
Charmcaster: "The girl that gave you so much trouble before?"
Hex: "Yes. But we, together, will be able to defeat her."
Charmcaster: "And get the Keystone to get your powers back?"
Hex: "Exactly."
Inside, we were watching a guy perform magic tricks. Gwen didn't seem impressed, Ben and I just watched, and Max was excited to watch it. Eventually, he stopped to ask the audience for a volunteer.
Magician: "For this trick, I shall need a volunteer. Who so ever is chosen shall transform into a majestic beast!"
Kyle: "Me! Pick me!"
Magician: "Step right up, blond haired boy!"
Kyle: Sweet!"
Gwen: "Didn't you have enough of magic?"
Kyle: "Not for this!" I ran up, and took some bows, and stepped into the cage he had beside him. The curtain was draped over, and a green glow came out of his drapes when he said, "Abra, Cadabra, and Alakazam!" He lifted the cage off, and showed Wildmutt. I roared to the crowd.
Gwen: "Oh boy. How weird."
Ben: "Nice one man!" The whole crowd cheered, then out of nowhere, smoke was coming out of a portal in midair, and Hex and Charmcaster appeared in front of the audience.
Hex: "You want to see magic, eh?"
Charmcaster: "Then we'll show you some real magic!" She threw her rocks out, and her rock dogs came out. They attacked me, and I went Fourarms to fight them off.
Gwen: "It's Lucky Girl time!" She went behind a wall, then put her costume on, and charged into the fight, and kicked Hex.
Gwen: "So, couldn't stay back in jail, could you?"
Hex: "No. I wanted to make a return performance!" He shot an energy beam at her, and she flipped over it, and roundhouse kicked him in the face. I slammed the last rock dog into the ground, then went Cywolf, and charged for Charmcaster, and rammed her into the side, sending her into a wall.
Charmcaster: "And you must be Lucky Girl's partner, the shape-shifter."
Cywolf: "Exactly, girlfriend! You want to see my brand of magic?" I transformed into Metrion.
Metrion: "Let's go!" My hands glowed, and I shot black energy balls at her. She dodged them all, then threw her grenades at me. I phased into the ground in an energy raven form, and came out from behind her, then grabbed her with a raven claw. She struggled to get out, then Hex shot me, releasing my grip, and I went normal Metrion, then changed into Goop, and started going for her bag. She jumped aside, then I was shooting paintballs at her. She got hit by one, and I went Cywolf again, and jumped on to her, and shot her with my lasers. She slammed right into a wall, and I zoomed back towards Hex, who Gwen had just kicked, and I went Chromastone, then I rammed right into him, and she kicked him right in the face, and I jumped, then went Cannonbolt, and slammed right on top of him.
Charmcaster: "Uncle Hex! No!" She summoned 10 rock dogs, and sent them after us. I went Frostbite, and transformed my hands into spike balls, and looked back down at Gwen, who nodded, and we charged into battle against them. I slammed apart on e dog, then Gwen punched one in the face, and broke it with a drop kick, and I slammed one more, then froze another solid, and went Visor, and built a force filed around the rest of them, and I slammed them into the ground, then Gwen broke each one with a karate chop. I then went Swampfire, and we ran back towards Hex and Charmcaster. Charmcaster built a force field around them, and blew us off of it.
Swampfire: "There's no way we can break this like I am now." I went Bio-Rex, scaring the pedestrians out of the place while Ben and Max had made sure they got out without any trouble. I was shooting my sonic cannon blasts at the force field while Gwen was hitting it with all her might. She couldn't hlod the force field up much longer, then Hex woke up, and his eyes glowed, then blew us both off her force field, and Charmcaster brought it down.
Charmcaster: "I knew it would take more than that to take you down, Uncle Hex."
Hex: "Of course!" He chanted a spell, then shot a huge blast at us. I had went Metrion, then built a force field up in front of his blast, but I knew I couldn't hold it.
Gwen: "Kyle, how long can you keep this up?"
Metrion: "I don't know! I'd go Goop, but I can't, since you're in danger right now!"
Gwen: "I guess we can do something…"
Metrion: "Like what?"
Gwen:"Can you build portals?"
Metrion: "Can I?" I smiled, but I was still cringing.
Gwen: "Then teleport me behind him."
Metrion: "Azarath metrion zinthos!" I created a portal, then Gwen jumped into it, and reappeared behind Hex as planned, and punched him in the jaw, cutting off his blast. I then sunk into the ground, and reappeared up in front of him, and kicked him in the face, then back-fisted Charmcaster.
Charmcaster: "Uncle, they're too powerful for us!"
Metrion: "Now you realize it, huh?" Hex and Charmcaster then disappeared in a flash of smoke.
Gwen: "Kyle! They got away!"
Mtrion: "Don't worry! I'll go Snakepit and find them by tracing the portal energy!" I went Snakepit and sniffed at the air near where they disappeared.
Snakepit head 1: "Got it. Come on!" I proceeded out, then Gwen, Ben and Max continued off behind me.
Ben: "Now what?"
Snakepit head 1: "We go on."
Snakepit head 2: "No. I suggest we take Ben, and Gwen takes Max."
Snakepit head 3: "No no no. That will simply not do. I will take Max, and Ben will go with Gwen."
Snakepit head 4: "I agree with head number 3."
Gwen: "I'll take Grandpa." We split apart into those groups looking for Hex and Charmcaster.
Ben: "I find it hard to believe that Snakepit can actually get a job done if his heads are constantly arguing."
Snakepit head 5: "I know what you mean Ben. I hate that too."
Snakepit heads 1-4: "We heard that!"
Ben: "This is going to be so weird." We then got attacked by the rock dogs, and I bit the ones going for Ben, while other heads shot venom at others getting close to me. I then went Kyoxys, and shot a beam from my head, disintegrating the rock dogs on Ben.
Ben: "Thanks."
Kyoxys: "No problem." I went Speed form, and Ben hopped on. We took off to find them.
Gwen: "Where are you Charmcaster?!"
Charmcaster: "No, Uncle Hex! No!" She got hit by Hex.
Hex: "Never let them overtake us like that again. Do you understand me?"
Gwen: "Perfectly!" She jumped up at Hex, then punched him in the jaw. I saw Hex from the air,went Attack mode, and head-butted him at full force, sending him into a wall. I then shot an energy ball at him.
Kyoxys: "Now, for you, Charmcaster."
Charmcaster: "Thanks for saving me!"
Kyoxys: "What?"
Charmcaster: "My Uncle Hex forced me to work for him, I swear!"
Gwen: "Um, yeah."
Charmcaster: "I was hoping to bring him to you, Lucky Girl, so you could finally defeat him once and for all."
Kyoxys: "Why does this sound like a crocpile to me?" I was charging up another blast from my head, but Gwen got in front of me.
Kyoxys: "Lucky Girl! Out of the way!"
Gwen: "Let's hear what she has to say first."
Kyoxys: "We just did, Lucky Girl. It sounds like a croc of bull to me."
Ben: "And bad guys usually turn on you in the end."
Max:"Let's hear her out BEFORE you kick her butt, Kyle."
Kyoxys: "Oh fine." I went Chromastone.
Chromastone: "But if it turns out you're lying, I'll crush you so bad that you'll…"
Gwen: "Ahem…"
Charmcaster: "Thanks. Anyway, my Uncle Hex is trying to reconstruct the Charms of Bazell. He needs your Keystone to do it, Lucky Girl."
Gwen: "My Keystone? This?"
Charmcaster: "Yes. It multplies your strength, reflexes, flexibility, speed, everything tenfold. That's why you've been tracked down by him. It has enough power to bring them back at the next lunar eclipse."
Chromastone: "Wait. This doesn't sound like she's lying." I reverted to normal.
Kyle: "What else?"
Charmcaster: "He'll be completely invincible this time. Nothing will be able to stop him."
Kyle: "That's something. Why have you been helping him with this?"
Charmcaster: "He threatened me that he'd hurt me, or worse, if I didn't help him get the Keystone."
Ben: "We'll make sure he doesn't."
Kyle: "Lucky Girl and I will make sure he doesn't."
Charmcaster: "Really? Oh thank you, thank you!!" She ran over, and hugged me, nearly squeezing the life out of me.
Gwen: "Let go of him, Charmcaster. He's mine!" She let go immediately.
Charmcaster: "Sorry." I went Big Chill.
Big Chill: "I'll put your uncle on ice! Come on, Lucky Girl! Ben, Max, take Charmcaster back to the RV." Hex was getting up, and saw me breathing ice at him. He dodged my attack, but got socked by Gwen in the face.
Hex: "Charmcaster. That traitorous worm!" He flew up, but I went UltraKai, then punched him into the ground, while Gwen drop kicked him. I then went Heatblast, and launched myself at Hex, then went Fourarms, and slammed right into him on impact. He tried to throw me off, but I went Goop, and wrapped around him.
Goop: "Lucky Girl! Let 'im have it!" She started wailing on him with punches to the face, but his eyes glowed, and he blew both of us off of him. I gathered all of my goop back together, then went Sandbox, and morphed my hands into hammers, and slammed him with them, sending him flying into a pool. I walked towards it, then went Arcticguana, and breathed ice into the pool, freezing up Hex.
Gwen: "Sweet."
Articguana: "I know. I hardly thought I could do it myself." I went XLR8, and we ran back to the RV, and noticed Ben and Max were on the ground, looking a bit bruised up.
Gwen: "Grandpa!"
XLR8: "Benster!" We zoomed up to them, and they got up, groaning.
XLR8: "I knew she couldn't be trusted."
Ben: "I guess we should listen to your feelings more often, huh?" I went Diamondhead.
Diamondhead: "Yes you should. Now where is she?" Vines came out from the ground, then got around us.
Diamondhead: "Charmcaster!"
Charmcaster: "Surprise! I didn't think you'd be that dumb! But my uncle's plan was true."
Diamondhead: "Well, your uncle is frozen solid now. There's no way you'll be able to thaw him out. Now it's just you and me!" I went Echo Echo, and fell through the vine, then screamed at her. She flew into a brick wall, and I multiplied into 5 of me, and ran back in to fight her, but she threw in her rock dogs, and they got on us, and we couldn't do a thing about it.
Echo 1: "No! We can only…"
Echo 2: "Transform if we…"
Echo 3: "Are in one body!"
Charmcaster: "Oh. Good to know. I'll be taking the Keystone now."
Echo 4: "Oh no you don't!" He multiplied into 3, and screamed at the dog, shattering it, then ran back towards Charmcaster with his two buddies. Charmcaster threw out some grenades, and blew them up. She grabbed the Keystone, and ran off. We multiplied into two more copies, and screamed at the rock dogs, shattering them, and we all went into one body, and transformed into Cywolf, then charged a Charmcaster. Hex had somehow teleported in front of me, then he whapped me with his staff.
Cywolf: "I froze you! How?"
Hex: "A little ice can't keep a master magician down."
Charmcaster: "I got the Keystone for you, Uncle Hex!"
Hex: "I wish you had told me your plan sooner, but no matter. It's ours now." They both teleported off, and Charmcaster waved at me, and actually had a normal looking smile on her face as she did so.
Cywolf: "We have to get them. Charmcaster and Hex are gonna pay!"
Gwen: "And I lost my powers! Again! I guess Lucky Girl was never meant to exist after all." I reverted to normal.
Kyle: "Gwen, you never needed to be Lucky Girl. I always thought you were a good help."
Gwen: "You really think so?"
Kyle: "Of course." She hugged me.
Kyle: "Although, while you were Lucky Girl, you were more helpful, but I don't even care anymore."
Gwen: "Thanks."
Max: "I got a plan. Hex has got to be headed off to the space needle."
Ben: "And how is that going to be of help to him?"
Kyle: "It's the highest point in the city. They need it to be up high so they can create them with the least amount of interference possible." I went Jetray.
Jetray: "See you guys there." I took off.
Gwen: "Come on. Let's follow him." Max started up the RV, and went after me.
Hex: "We are almost complete with the project!"
Charmcaster: "How much longer, Uncle Hex?"
Hex: "Soon." Charmcaster smiled wickedly to herself, then saw me as Jetray land in front of her.
Charmcaster: "It's Kyle! Lucky Girl's sidekick! Hi!"
Jetray; "Oh man… Now a villain's got the hots for me?"
Hex: "Die!" He said a chant, then shot me with some energy shards. I went XLR8, and dodged each one, then went Cannonbolt, and rolled right into Hex.
Charmcaster: "Thanks for completing my plan, Kyle!"
Cannonbolt: "Huh?"
Charmcaster: "This thing was almost done, and I needed my uncle knocked unconscious long enough for me to absorb the charms' powers myself! I'll make you my prince in my new world order!" She levitated herself up.
Cannonbolt: "Sorry, buddy!" I went Frostbite.
Frostbite: "But not as long as I'm on the job!" I shot some ice shards at her, then started absorbing water vapor to make myself larger. When I got to 20 feet tall, I grabbed her, and Gwen said, "Hey, Charmcaster!" She came up from behind the wall.
Charmcaster: "Impossible! You lost your powers!" I dropped CHarmcaster to the ground, and scratched my head with my finger.
Frostbite: "How'd that happen?"
Charmcaster: "Hey! Don't drop me like that!"
Ben: "Oh yeah!? How about a drop kick!" Ben jumped down from the hoverboard Tetrax gave me, and drop kicked Charmcaster right on the top of her head, knocking her unconscious, and I shrunk back down to my normal 5'11" tall height as Frostbite.
Frostbite: "Cool idea, guys." Max lifted Gwen up to the top of the building, then climbed up himself.
Gwen: "We can't stop this thing."
Frostbite: "Maybe you guys can't but I know someone who can!" I tried to go UltraKai, but instead, I transformed into a guy with long blue hair, blue gloves, blue boots, red shirt, red pants, and an Omnitrix symbol on his belt buckle. His skin was gray, and he had red eyes.
Kyle: "W-W-Who's t-t-t-t-t-t-t-this g-g-g-guy?"
Ben: "I have no clue." I sneezed, freezing the ground in front of me.
Kyle: "H-H-hey! T-t-t-t-t-t-this gives me an idea! B-B-Ben, give me the h-h-h-h-hoverboard."
Ben: "Why?"
Kyle: "M-m-maybe I can f-f-f-freeze the charms up, then d-d-d-d-destroy them." He gave me it, and I flew up into the charm's creation center.
Kyle: "Okay! It's f-f-f-f-f-freezin' time!" I shot freeze rays from my hands at the charms, stopping them, then some ice swords materialized in my hands, and I sliced apart each of the five charms, and a massive explosion was created, sending me flying a bit, but I grabbed the hoverboard, shot some ice rays at the Space Needle, then slid on the hoverboard back down onto the top.
Ben: "Sweet!"
Gwen: "Who IS this guy?"
Kyle: "Um… Permafrost! Yeah, Permafrost."
Max: "With powers like that you'll seriously cause a dent in any villain's plans.
Permafrost: "I know." I reverted back to normal.
Kyle: "I can't wait for the next big adventure."
The end.
Author's Note: Omnitrix1 gave me his permission to use his alien Permafrost in this story.
