Chapter 4: Science isn't only for Nerds

Shadow: Welcome to the next chapter of Defenders and before we continue I want to thank the people who reviewed the last chapter… wait no one did. But I would at least like to thank the people who did review the first two chapters and also followed the story because you guys are cool.

Dani: Okay but before we can continue we need a brief recap. Okay last time. Sonic found Nightwing, Katara and Ben and he took them back to Spagonia with Tails. They then fought some robots and then went and found Shadow.

Shadow: And I gave them some info before I sent them away. They also learned that someone had tried to sabotage the moon 50 years ago so that when Katara came she would die.

Dani: Wow I am waiting in anticipation… but I am wondering about the new character that CA15 placed in this story… what was he thinking?

Shadow: He was thinking that he needed something un expected so instead of doing the expected he decided to add a character from an old TV show he used to watch and don't judge him, most of you, readers watched it as well when you were younger.

Katara, Nightwing, Ben and Sonic all landed back in the Plumbers HQ in front of Gwen and Max.

"Ben, your back." Gwen said. "What had happened?"

Ben then gave Gwen the update on what they had learned.

"Who is the person who walks between worlds and who is the artificial one?" Gwen asked.

"We don't know, but we hope that these two artefacts give us a clue." Katara said.

"Yeah but what do we do to get some information from that thing?" Sonic asked. "We weren't exactly born with knowledge of that thing like Shadow."

"Well we are probably meant to figure out this thing by ourselves." Nightwing said.

"Well maybe we can try finding those buttons again so that we can find a clue on something." Ben suggested.

"Yeah well it's not like we can just will them into working for us." Sonic said.

"Wait we can, I can use upgrade to try hack the machines." Ben said before he started dialling the Omnitrix.

Ben then slapped down the Omnitrix that he had learned to use and became upgrade.

Ben then jumped onto the two artefacts and became one with them.

The others waited for Ben to tell them something or do something but he stayed silent until there was an electric shock and he was shot off like he was a bullet shooting out of a gun.

Ben then transformed back into his normal form and was K.O'd.

~00000~

Eventually after two hours Ben awoke but with a massive headache.

"Ow, did anyone get the licence plates of the bus that hit me?" Ben said.

"Ben, what happened?" Katara asked.

"I'm fine thanks for asking." Ben said. "I went inside and I tried to hack its information but all I could get was codes and some really confusing stuff."

"Like what?" Sonic asked.

"For one, it said something about a large empire rising. There was something about a Phoenix, a joke, a squid, an egg, a monkey and a dark future. Also I got some codes that could get us info on the next person who we are supposed to find. I also learned that there are a lot more artefacts but we are only focusing on three more will be revealed if we survive." Ben said.

"Okay so what do those random things mean?" Katara asked.

"I say we should focus more along the lines of those codes." Nightwing said. "You think you remember the codes?"

"Yeah I got them, let's go to the artefacts and find out what we have to." Ben said.

They all then went to the artefacts. Once Ben arrived he grabbed one and started twisting it before he did the same to the other.

A few buttons appeared on the artefacts and Ben pressed them in a specific order.

"This code will apparently show us someone who can help us with the artefacts and that person will also be related to whoever will be joining us next." Ben said.

The two artefacts then clicked before they both shone a light into the air. Two holograms then formed above the artefacts.

One was a tall professor with a very straight and proper posture. And the other hologram was a 14 year old girl. She had long red hair that went all the way down to her ankles that was topped with a big red bow. She also had pink eyes and a pair of glasses. She had a red tank top and a white skirt and a white lab coat and black shoes.

"Is that professor Utonium?" Nightwing asked. "And his daughter Blossom?"

"I think so." Ben said. "Actually that makes sense. Blossom was created by him so she is artificial."

"How was she created?" Katara asked.

"Prof couldn't get some love so he decided to create daughters using sugar spice and everything nice and an unknown chemical that was called Chemical X. Well it was unknown until bats discovered that the chemical was called Lazarus." Nightwing said.

"You mean the stuff Ra's al Ghul has?" Ben asked. "So that girl is immortal?"

"Yes." Nightwing said.

"Well we have to find those two then." Sonic said.

"But where are they?" Katara asked.

"Gwen…" Ben asked but was cut off by Nightwing.

"Got it. They will be in Amity Park Tomorrow for a large science expo called the Stark Expo." Nightwing said before receiving a glare from Gwen.

"Okay so we will go to Amity Park tomorrow." Katara said.

"Cool so we can rest up for whatever may happen tomorrow." Sonic said.

"Ben does the plumbers base have a good enough signal for me to contact the Bat-Cave." Nightwing asked.

"Yeah follow me." Ben said.

~00000~

Dick was now in front of a big monitor contacting the Bat-cave.

"Dick? Is that you? I've trying to get a hold of you for days." Barbra said. "Bruce and Tim have been wondering where you are."

"Don't worry I'm fine, I am just doing a mission that is really confusing." Dick said.

"Do you need me to send the team to help?" Barbra asked.

"No I'm good, actually how is the team doing in my absence?" Dick asked.

"It's good. I'm leading it in your absence." Barbra said.

"Good, but I need you to get someone to go over some data I sent in and look for any matches in the history of humanity." Nightwing said.

"Okay I'll get someone to look over it." Barbra said. "Love you."

"Love you too." Nightwing said before he closed the line. "And I hope I make it back alive."

~00000~

The next day, Katara, Nightwing, Ben and Sonic were all on their way to Amity Park.

They landed in front of the Amity Park Science Centre and walked in.

They passed all sorts of geniuses and millionaires like Tony Stark, Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, Bruce Wayne (who stared at Nightwing for a moment), Dexter and the Fentons.

One of the Fentons took notice of the four who were going straight towards Professor Utonium and his daughter. The Fenton that took notice was Danny Fenton.

"Uh Mom, dad I have to go home to get something." Danny said.

"Okay Danny, my boy." Jack said.

"Okay thanks." Danny said before he walked away. As he walked away he pulled out his phone and made a call. "Sam, Tucker, get the new D equipment ready, I'm gonna need it."

~00000~

Professor Utonium was currently with his smartest and oldest daughter Blossom and they were currently working on their display but then…

"Professor Utonium." A voice said before he turned around and saw Nightwing, Ben Tennyson, a girl in blue Chinese clothing and a blue anthropomorphic hedgehog.

"We need your help to analyse some special equipment." Nightwing said before he introduced Sonic and Katara.

Within a few minutes the professor was taking a look at the artefacts.

He had been able to open one of them and was now taking a look inside.

"Well I must say. These spheres are highly advanced for anything of their age." Professor Utonium said.

"What do you mean?" Ben asked.

"Well it is obvious that this was created by a human. No doubt about that but the fact is that this was created over 4000 years ago." Professor Utonium said.

"Professor did you say 4000 years ago?" Blossom said.

"Yes Blossom." The Professor said.

"And you guys said we have all been selected by these things." Blossom asked.

"Yeah." Ben said.

"But how is that possible? None of us existed back then." Blossom said.

"I don't know. But we also know that the robots that attacked us earlier also knew about us before we were born." Katara said. "Especially because they found a way to weaken me 70 years before I arrived on Sonic's world."

"Well maybe we can answer the question for you." a voice said.

They all turned around and saw a bunch of people who were all in cloaks. They then all lifted up their wrists and there was an Omnitrix on all of them.

"Guys… this isn't good." Ben said

"You don't say." All of the others who had an Omnitrix said.

All of those guys then transformed into large robots with the Omnitrix symbols on their arms.

"Its villain time!" they all yelled before they slapped down their knockoffs of the Omnitrix.

All of them were now different robotic versions of Ben's aliens and the one that looked like the leader stared at the heroes.

"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING SUPERHEROED SUPER DUDES! HAND OVER THOSE ARTEFACTS OR FEEL THE POWER OF ROBO-RATH!" Robo-Rath yelled.

"Oh…" Ben didn't get to finish that thought because he had Robo-Rath tackle him.

Katara, Nightwing, Sonic and Blossom got into a fighting stance before they jumped in and attacked and only then did the pedestrians start running out of the place.

Katara used her sword skills and waterbending to take down the robots, Sonic used his speed, spin dashes and homing attacks to take down the robots, Nightwing used a whole bunch of weapons that he had in his utility belt and Blossom used all the power she had.

Eventually Ben was able to come and join the fight but when he joined he was his new alien.

"Green Blur!" the green anthropomorphic hedgehog (Ben) yelled.

"Two Sonics, double the fun." Sonic said before both he and Ben continued to furiously attack.

They were all fighting furiously but it wasn't easy to control so many robots at once. Ben had to constantly change forms to counter to all the metal aliens but the robots also changed their forms to counter Ben.

Nightwing was having the hardest time because he was only human. He had no meta-gene or powers but he had at least pushed his body to the human limits. He still had all the training from Batman and Black Canary so he still had some edge over the robots.

Sonic was used to fighting robots because almost everything he fought was robots so he knew what to do. Also none of the robots could match or come close to his speed, neither Robo-XLR8 nor Robo-Fast-track and that gave Sonic his advantage. But his disadvantage was that he could be picked up and thrown.

Blossom had no problem dealing with the robots because of her powers. She had all the capabilities to go toe to toe with Superman… actually her biology was based off of the Kryptonian so she could actually stand a chance.

Katara on the other hand was very disadvantaged. Sure she had a sword made from adamantium, a part of the moon and the same material as Sokka's sword and she was a master waterbender but she was not used to machines like this. Usually she knew about the fighting type of the benders she usually fought but these robots didn't fight using bending they fought in any way they wanted and that was where Katara was weak.

The Robot that was fighting Katara decided to play dirty so it turned into Robo-Armodrillo. Robo-Armodrillo then struck Katara's ankle and leg thus breaking both before he transformed into Robo-Heatblast.

"The first one on the quest will be the first one to die." He said to the girl who was now on the floor.

Robo-Heatblast then hit the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest and he transformed into Ultimate Robo-Heatblast. And because he was a robot he had large robot weapons and cannons as well as being a white flamed rocky being.

He then pointed his arm at Katara and it transformed into a mean looking cannon.

"TIME TO DIE!" He said before he fired the full blast at the defenceless Watertribe girl.

Lots of dust flew into the air from the impact and blinded everyone.
