Me: Well guys, the Avengers continue

Mordecai/Rigby: Yeaaaaah!

Muscleman: You know who else continues?

Me: Don't say it.

Muscleman: My M…

*Grimlock's head breaks through wall*

Grimlock: Muscleman no say it! Or Grimlock eat you!

Me/Mordecai/Rigby/Muscleman: O_O

Me: Well, let's get started then

Ch. 4 Things Keep Getting Weirder

Zak had been wandering the woods for quite some time. He had wondered what had just happened. One minute he was in the Amazon, the next he was in an evergreen forest. He had tried to contact his parents and the other secret scientists but still couldn't get a signal.

He finally got out of the clearing and came into view something he was not expecting to see. Two giant metal legs sticking out into the air. That's all that was there, the legs. The rest of it looked like it was blown off. Zak thought either it was unfinished statue, or the rest of it was blown up.

"What the hell is happening to me this time?" he wondered, but things were worse for him before; what with being the reincarnation of an ancient evil cryptid. He went further into the clearing

On the other side of the clearing, another teenager was having a similar situation. Jake had just stopped to behold the site of the legs themselves. He had walked into the clearing to see if he can get more answers when he saw a guy near the legs. It was a teenager with an orange outfit, with spikey black and white hair.

A feeling of relief came to him, maybe he could get some answers from this guy.

"Hey you!" Zak heard someone call out to him. He turned and saw a teen with a red jacket, and dark green hair run up to him.

"Do you know where I am?" Jake asked "I'm kind of lost here."

"Sorry pal." Zak apologized. "But I'm kinda lost too."

"Aw man." Jake complained. "That's just great." He looked at Zak and took note of his orange armor. "So what's with the whacky outfit? You going to a costume party or something?"

"Oh this?" Zak replied looking at his armor "It's my uniform."

"'Uniform'?" Jake repeated "What kind of job do you have to wear something like that?"

"Sorry dude, can't tell you." Zak told him.

"What, is it classified or something?" Jake asked

"Like I said, can't tell ya." Zak repeated

Jake exhaled in frustration. "Well, seeing how we're both lost, maybe we could go looking some help together or something."

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." Zak agreed. "Name's Zak Saturday, by the way." He greeted with an outstretched hand.

"Jake Long." Jake greeted shaking Zak's hand.

The two then began their walk into the forest, heading towards the nearby city.

Rex Salazar had been flying above the forest for over an hour. It was frustrating how he couldn't get through to Providence. What he found curious however, was he could not feel any nanites besides his. There were no nanites anywhere. Even after the World-Wide Cure, nanites were still present in the air.

Rex began to have thoughts about how he might no longer be on his Earth. For most of his life, he had thought parallel earths only existed in Sci Fi, but after meeting Ben Tennyson, he came to terms with it.

Rex was being convinced more and more he was in another dimension, especially after seeing those giant metal legs. He was certain a monument like that was never on his earth, considering he's been everywhere on it.

Before he could dwell on it any further, he spotted movement in the trees. Rex put on his googles and activated the infrared. He saw a large shape hopping from tree-branch to tree-branch. Rex looked on ahead, and saw it was heading toward a man at a campsite, about twenty feet from a pretty steep cliff. Fearing the worst, Rex put the petal to metal on his Boogie Pack.

The man had been sitting on a log cooking a piece of beef jerky over his campfire, when he heard a noise coming from the bushes. He brushed it off, thinking it was a deer or something. Oh how he was wrong. A massive frame jumped from the bushes and pinned him to the ground. The man looked up and came face-to-face with a grotesque monster.

The Mutradi looked down at the man. This human was in his way, and in the way of his mission. With the creature being in a hurry, he would make this quick. He raised his claw ready to strike but before he could, he heard a voice call out.

"Hey Feo!" the creature turned to this.

Rex had withdrew his Boogie Pack and formed his signature Smack Hands. Rex went flying and tackled the monster and the two tumbled down the cliff.

Terrified, the man then ran for his life.

The two rolled down the cliff, before coming to a stop at the bottom of a valley. The alien jumped off of Rex and landed several feet from him.

Rex got up and had readied his still-drawn Smack Hands ready for a fight. The creature roared at him.

"Nice to meet you to." Rex cracked. "Name's Rex, now thrill me!" He challenged with a smile. He had been waiting to hit something all evening.

Zak and Jake had been walking through the forest. It had been silent between the two strangers throughout most of their hike.

"So, Jake." Zak began, trying to make conversation. "Where are you from?"

"I live in New York." Jake answered. "What about you?"

"I don't live in one specific place." Zak answered. "My family travels a lot."

"Really? What does your family do?" Jake asked.

"Um. There, uh, zoologists." Zak answered, intentionally leaving out a few details.

"Wow. That's cool." Jake responded. "My Dad just works at a desk job, my mom stays at home, and my Grandpa owns a local antique shop" He described, leaving out a few details himself.

"Well, at least it's simple for you." Zak said.

"You'd be surprised." Jake responded.

Before Zak could speak, they saw a man running and screaming. "Monster!" he shouted repeatedly as he ran past them.

The two teens looked at each other and ran in the direction where the man came from.

They got to the man's campsite and heard the sounds of fighting, grunting, and growling down below the cliff. They got to the edge and looked down, and were both surprised at what they saw. A guy with giant metal hands fighting some kind of monster.

Rex had been duking it out with the Mutradi for about a minute or so. This thing was surprisingly fast for its massive size. It was quick to avoid Rex's punches. The creature was able to land a few punches and kicks in, knocking Rex back. Thanks to Rex's healing factor, curtsey of his nanites, he didn't feel much pain.

As the alien changed in, Rex was able to get a successful punch in. He had knocked it away a few feet back and it landed flat on its back.

Rex walked up to the still creature. "I wonder" he thought out loud. He withdrew his Smack Hands and placed on of his hands on its shoulder. He tried to feel for nanites, but couldn't. "Just as I thought" Rex said. "You're not an EVO"

Right as Rex said that the creature lunged at him and pinned him to the ground and roared in his face. "Playing possum. Smart" He mused.

Jake and Zak were looking at the sight before them, neither knowing what to make of the situation. Zak activated his Kur powers, his eyes glowing orange, which Jake couldn't notice, his eyes focused on the battle. Zak didn't feel anything. This creature was not a cryptid, and he could not make out this guy with metal hands. Maybe aliens? He thought. After working with Ben, he was aware of aliens living on Earth, so it seemed like a logical explanation.

Jake didn't know what to think. This monster was not like any magical creature he's seen; and he's seen them all. This human, if he is a human, appeared to have some kind of shape-shifting powers or something. But the only people with that kind of power are dragons, and this guy was clearly not a dragon.

They both saw the creature tackle the guy, and thought the worst was about to happen.

"I can't just stand here and do nothing!" Jake said as he slid down the cliff.

"Jake wait!" Zak exclaimed before the teen made his way down. Zak followed suit as well.

Rex was about to build his Punk Busters to kick the Mutradi off of him. But a shout caught his attention.

"Hey Ugly!" Jake shouted as the Mutradi and Rex turned to him. "Pick on someone your own size!"

"Get out of here!" Rex shouted back. "It's not safe!"

"Yeah, for that thing." Jake cracked. "Dragon UP!" He shouted before he was then engulfed in flames. When the flames subsided, he revealed his magical form: The American Dragon

Before the Mutradi knew it, Jake flew straight at it and slammed his elbow into him. The alien was knocked back several feet away. Jake landed in front of it. "Come on boy, let's see what you got!" Jake challenged. The Mutradi charged.

Rex just sat there, wondering exactly what earth he was sent to.

Zak got to him and helped him to his feet. "You alright?" he asked

"I'm fine." Rex answered still looking at the battle. "He a friend of yours?" Rex asked.

"I just met him actually." Zak answered.

"So you don't know that he can turn into some kind of wear-dragon, right?" Rex asked.

"No. I had no clue." Zak confirmed. "I'm Zak Saturday, by the way." He greeted, trying to breed some form of familiarity into the situation.

"Rex Salazar" Rex greeted.

Jake and the Mutradi wrestled with each other. Jake's knowledge in martial arts, combined with his dragon strength and speed, definitely made him a force to be reckoned with. But this creature was pretty fast and strong too. The Mutradi threw a punch, only for Jake to grab him by the wrist and toss him over his shoulder.

The alien pressed a button on its chest plate, activating its jet pack. It pressed another one as it hovered, and activated a device on its wrist and began firing small rapid-fire beams at Jake.

Jake took to the sky to and began breathing fire at it. It soon became a dog-fight as they flew and tried to shoot each other down. Each shot missed.

The alien flew straight for Jake and tackled him to the ground.

Seeing the thing that saved his life in danger, Rex came in and formed his Punk Busters. He kicked the Mutradi away like a soccer ball.

Jake got up on his dragon feet, and Rex withdrew his Punk Busters.

"What exactly are you?" The both asked at the same time.

Zak ran up to them. "Uh, Rex, Jake. Jake, Rex" he introduced to the other just to get everyone acquainted.

"Uh yeah." Rex responded. "Can you do anything?" he asked Zak

"Well, I do have telepathy." Zak answered.

"Oh really?" Jake asked "Then what am I thinking right now?"

"It only works on cryptids." Zak replied

"'Cryptids?'" Rex asked

"Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot, Abominable Snowman, that kind of thing." Zak described.

"Uh. I hate to interrupt the 'show and tell on super powers'" Jake interrupted. "But it's getting away!"

The three turned and saw the Mutradi reactivate its jet pack and fly towards the city.

Rex formed his Sky Slider and took off after it. With Jake, carrying Zak, right behind him.

The Mutradi flew closer and closer to the city, but fire soon blasted past it. It turned around and saw its pursers chasing after it. The Mutradi increased his jet pack's speed.

Rex flew faster and the Sky Slider. When he came right up to it, he formed his Funchucks and tried to swing at it.

Despite the alien's massive size it was able to avoid the close-ranged attacks from the EVO and the long-ranged fire blasts from the dragon.

Zak, having enough of this, got an idea. "Throw me!" he told Jake.

"What?!" Jake said "You want to die?!"

"Just do it! Trust me!" Zak persisted.

"Trust you?! I just met you!" Jake argued.

"Were both trying to bring this thing down, and it's flying to the city!" Zak argued back "A lot of people could get hurt if we don't end this!"

Seeing his point. Jake tossed his passenger straight for the monster.

The Mutradi increased his speed to get away from Rex.

Rex was about to increase his speed as well, but Zak flew right past him.

Jake's strength was enough to get Zak close. Realizing he wasn't going to make it. Zak drew his signature weapon, the Claw. He pressed a button and a claw shot out from the rod with a cable attached to it.

The Claw latched itself onto the creature's foot. Zak retracted the Claw, pulling him straight for the Mutradi.

The Mutradi tried to shake him off by flying like a maniac. It didn't work. Zak climbed on top of him and jammed his Claw right into the alien's rocket pack.

The rocket stopped working and the two fell, their destination, a lot filled with used, trashed cars.

Zak let go of the alien and fell in a different direction. Rex withdrew his Funchucks and was able to catch him.

The Mutradi plummet and landed straight into a pile of old cars.

"You okay?" Rex asked.

"Yeah." Zak answered "Thanks for the save."

"You're crazy." Jake told him as he flew next to them.

"It worked, didn't it?" Zak asked.

The two flew down to check if the creature was still alive.

The Mutradi got up. It was greatly hurt and bleeding, with metal sticking out of it from each of its limbs. It looked up and saw its pursuers coming straight for him. None of it mattered, it was where it needed to be.

The Mutradi drew a familiar box device from its chest plate. He placed it on one of the many trashed cars and pressed the circle in the center.

The three flew close to it. When they were close enough, they saw the box began to glow brightly.

The Mutradi turned to them as they flew down and shouted at the top of its lungs "DIE!"

With that, an explosion erupted from behind and engulfed the creature.

Rex instinctively formed his Block Party and threw up a shield, covering all three of them, right before the blast wave hit them.

The shockwave sent them back several feet and they plummeted to the ground. The shield protected them from the impact, so there was no major damage.

Rex dropped his shield. "Everyone good?" he asked

"I'm still in one piece." Jake confirmed, dropping out of his dragon-form

"Same here." Zak confirmed as well. "But what exactly was that all about?"

"Not sure." Rex answered. "Let's find out." He announced as they walked to the device attached to the car, which surprisingly had no damage other than what was already there.

Rex reached for the box device, hopping his nanites would be able to identify it. But once his fingers got close, an orange energy field appeared and zapped him.

"Oh." He said.

"A shield." Zak mused.

"Yeah, I think that was established." Rex stated.

"Move aside." Jake said as he reassumed his dragon form and let loose a torrent of fire. After about a minute, he stopped.

The smoke cleared revealing the undamaged box-device, with the shield around it, before the shield turned invisible again.

"Well that was useless." Rex said, earning a glare from the dragon.

Zak took out his scanner and tried to scan it. Lots of data came pilling through it. Data he couldn't make out. It confirmed his theory about the creature being an alien. "My scanner can hack any system." He stated. "It may take a while though, but I should now what this thing is soon. In the meantime, maybe we can get to know each other a little more."

"What, are we all buddy-buddy now?" Jake said as he dropped his dragon form again

"Well maybe if we share stories, we might know where we are." Zak said. "Plus, it'll help pass the time, as my scanner decodes all this."

"I guess." Rex said.

Me: Done.

Rigby: It could've been a little better.

Me: How

Muscle-man: you could have thrown in another misunderstanding fight or something.

Me: I was going to, but I already had one, and another is coming up soon.

Mordecai: I thought you did well.

Me: Thanks. At least one of you has faith in me.

Grimlock: Me Grimlock wanna see fight!

Me: There will be plenty of fight later on, I guarantee it.
