Talley and her dorm mates were finishing packing up their gear, when Lucy walked in.
"Alright the shuttle here. Time to move out." Said Lucy.
The group walked out to the hanger and boarded a silver shuttle ship. A few minutes latter the ship took off. The team looked at the stars and planets as the shuttle flew through space.
"So Lucy can tell us about Earth?" Asked Ember.
"It's a pretty cool place and it's improved much over the years. Aliens used to have to hide their identities from the humans, but now they can walk the streets in public." Said Lucy.
"Whoa!" Said Gaz.
"Yep, Ben had a role in that and since then things have gotten better, oh sure there the occasional alien warlords or criminals that causes trouble, but hey that what the Plumbers deal with." Said Lucy.
"Um...can you tell us about Ben?" Asked Talley.
"Sure thing." Said Lucy. "Ben's a pretty a cool guy, he can be immature at some points, but he cares about the well being of others."
"That's good." Said Talley.
"I'm going to take you to Ben and then you two can get to know each other better." Said Lucy.
"But...what about my Plumber duties?" Asked Talley.
"Relax, you have my permission to hang out with Ben. You did a great job on our last mission, so as a extra reward I'm giving you some time off." Said Lucy.
"But..." Said Talley.
"I'm giving you a command to take some time off, to go off, and spend some time with Ben." Said Lucy.
Talley looked uncertain.
"My cousin will like you Talley. Trust me." Said Lucy with a smile.
"Alright. Thank you." Said Talley with a smile.
Talley turned to look out the window as she wondered what Ben was up to.
On Earth things weren't going quit so well for Ben and Rook. The day had started out good enough. The two of them had gone to Under Town and stopped a few petty robberies and then had gone to Mr. Smoothies for a drink. They were just relaxing when all of a sudden they heard screaming from down the street. Ben and Rook looked and saw the elephant like alien Trumbipulor rampaging down the street. Trumbipulor saw Ben and Rook and gave them a cold glare.
"You will not stop me this time! I will have ultimate power and will not be stopped by you!" Shouted Trumbipulor before he started charging down the street towards Ben and Rook.
"Oh not this again." Muttered Ben as he hit the Omintrix and changed into Bloxx. "Really Omintrix?! I need someone big to stop this guy!"
Trumbipulor charged forward smashing Bloxx to pieces! Rook dived out of the way as Trumbipulor charged by and down the street. Rook got to his feet as Blocx put himself back together and turned back into Ben rubbing his back.
"You ok?" Asked Rook.
"Mostly. Though I'm probably going to feel that later." Said Ben.
Rook pulled out his pocket computer and started to look for any huge shipments of peanuts. He found one that had just arrived at the docks.
"Trumbipulor is heading for the docks. If we hurry we can stop him before he starts eating the peanuts." Said Rook.
"Alright Omintrix give me something fast." Said Ben as he hit the Omintrix and transformed into Astrodactyl. "Lets fly!" He shouted as he grabbed Rook and took off into the sky.
Elsewhere the shuttle carrying Lucy and her squad just arrived. The squad took a train that connected to Plumbers headquarters. Talley, Gaz, and Ember stared at inner workers of the base in amazement and wonder.
"Welcome to Earth Plumber HQ! Pretty cool right? Lets check out the main control room." Said Lucy as they made their way towards the control room.
When they got there several Plumbers were running about working on computers and looking at monitors. Lucy saw Max looking at one monitor with a worried look. Lucy made her way towards Max followed by the rest of her squad.
"Hey Grandpa Max what's going on?" Asked Lucy.
Max turned around and saw Lucy. A small smile appeared on his face.
"Hello Lucy welcome back and I see you have as quad now. Were just dealing with a small crisis." Said Max.
"What's the situation?" Asked Lucy.
"A dangerous criminal named Trumbipulor is on a rampage." Said Max as he pulled up a picture of Trumbipulor on the monitor. "Right now his after a shipment of peanuts."
"Peanuts?" Said Lucy.
"By eating peanuts Trumbipulor grows in size and power." Explained Max. "Right now Ben and Rook are trying to stop him."
An image appeared on the monitor showing Trumbipulor fighting Astrodactyl and Rook on some docks. Rook was on the ground firing his blaster at Trumbipulor, while Astrodactyl flew around and pelted Trumbipulor with laser blast. Trumbipulor shot his trunk out and managed to grab Astrodactyl by the leg. In one fluid moment Trumbipulor hurled Astrodactyl and smashed him into Rook.
"Nobody can stop me!" Laughed Trumbipulor as he ran to a nearby docked ship and got on.
A few minutes later Trumbipulor appeared at the edge of the ship and jumped into the water. A few seconds latter Trumbipulor rose out of the water now the size of a To'kustar!
Astrodactyl and Rook got off the ground and faced Trumbipulor. Astrodactyl changed back into Ben.
"You know what they say the bigger they are the harder they fall." Said Ben as he hit the Omintrix and changed into Echo Echo.
Echo Echo started to make copies of himself and then released a blast of sonic sound at Trumbipulor. The blast hit Trumbipulor, but didn't seem to have any effect on him. Rook and Echo Echo just stared at Trumbipulor in confusion.
"Ha! Did you think I would let myself be defeated by the same tactics? I never forget." Laughed Trumbipulor before he swung one of his massive hands across the dock sending Rook and Echo smashing into the wall of a warehouse.
"Ben! Rook!" Exclaimed Max.
"We have to go help them!" Cried Talley.
"Lets move out team." Declared Lucy.
Lucy and the team headed down to the motor pool and leaped into one of the Plumber Tanks and took off out of the base.
"Gaz your our tech expert any ideas on how Trumbipulor is protecting himself from those sound attacks?" Asked Lucy as she drove the tank.
"He must have some kind of sonic shielding device in his ears somewhere canceling out the sound blast." Said Gaz.
"You think you can get into Trumbipulor's ear and destroy it?" Asked Lucy.
"You can count on me." Said Gaz.
"Alright here's the plan. Ember, Talley, and me will get Trumbipulor's attention, while Gaz goes into his ears and destroys his sonic shielding." Said Lucy.
Everybody nodded in agreement. Soon they reached the docks. Trumbipulor was wading around in the water smashing the dock and all the boats in the surrounding area. The team jumped out of their tank and charged onto the scene.
"Ok me and Ember will attack first. Talley once we've attacked him then I want you to grow to your full hight and hit him hard." Said Lucy as she took on her humanoid Lenopan form.
"Got it." Said Talley as she jumped into the water and started to swim towards Trumbipulor.
Lucy charged up the dock until she was under Trumbipulor.
"Hey you oversized elephant the zoos that way!" Called Lucy.
Trumbipulor looked down and glared at Lucy. Lucy stuck her tongue. Trumbipulor slammed his fist right down on Lucy! Trumbipulor snickered as he leaned his face down to get a closer look at the crushed remains of his latest victim. Lucy slithered her way out of Trumbipulor's fingers and reformed. Trumbipulor just stared in shock as Lucy just smiled and blasted a good amount of mud into Trumbipulor's face! Trumbipulor leaped back wiping mud from his face as Lucy jumped off of his hand. Lucy looked over to a warehouse and saw Rook and Echo Echo staggering to their feet. Echo Echo changed back into Ben.
"Hey Ben you alright?" Asked Lucy as she ran over to them.
"Lucy what...are you doing here?" Asked Ben as he saw Lucy.
"Oh me and my squad have come to help." Said Lucy.
"You have a squad?" Asked Ben.
"Yep. Don't worry will take this guy down real quick." Said Lucy.
"Ben who is this person?" Asked Rook.
"This is Lucy, she's one of my cousin in-laws." Said Ben. "Lucy this is my partner Rook."
"Hello Lucy nice to meet you." Said Rook.
"Likewise." Said Lucy.
At that moment Trumbipulor had cleaned the mud from his face and was fixing to attack the group, when all of a sudden Ember came flying by on a rocket of flames and started to hitting him with fireballs. Trumbipulor swung at his attacker trying to swat Ember, but she was to fast. Ember flew close to Trumbipulor's face and unleashed a giant flash of fire blinding Trumbipulor. Trumbipulor staggered back waving his arms blindly. In the water Talley saw her chance to attack. She grew to her full hight and gave Trumbipulor an uppercut making him stagger back.
On the docks both Ben and Rook stared in shock as they recognized Talley.
"Isn't that...?" Began Ben.
"Yep that's Talley. She's the first To'kustar to join the Plumbers." Said Lucy.
Everybody watched as Talley charged at Trumbipulor dealing out some powerful punches to him. Trumbipulor blindly threw punches at Talley, but she easily blocked them and knocked Trumbipulor back. Talley then unleashed a powerful burst of cosmic energy and knocked Trumbipulor down onto his back and on the docks leaving Trumbipulor stunned. Gaz flew into Trumbipulor's ear and saw a large white device deep within. Gaz blasted it and destroyed it. Gaz quickly flew out of Trumbipulor's ear.
"Ok the sonic shielding device is down. Let him have it!" Called Gaz.
"Music to my ears." Said Ben as he changed into Echo Echo.
Echo Echo made a bunch of copies of himself and surrounded Trumbipulor's head. Trumbipulor's eyes widened in horror as he realized what was going to happen. He managed to get himself halfway off the dock, but the sound attack still hit him making Trumbipulor shout in pain as he fell into the water and vanished. Talley walked over and stuck one of her hands into the water. A few seconds latter her hand came back holding an unconscious regular size Trumbipulor. Talley dumped Trumbipulor onto the dock as she changed back into her human size. Echo Echo changed back into Ben as Rook handcuffed the unconscious Trumbipulor. Ben walked over to Talley.
"Hey Talley, it's great to see you again. Thanks for the save." Said Ben.
"Thanks, it was nothing." Said Talley as she blushed slightly.
"You were awesome!" Said Ben with a grin.
"Oh...it was just something I learned from the academy." Said Talley.
"Cool." Said Ben.
Lucy saw that Talley was a little nervous and that she needed some help to get to spend time with Ben.
"Hey Talley's been telling me how she wanted to see all the sights here in Bellwood. Isn't that right Talley?" Said Lucy as she gave Talley a small wink.
Talley understood.
"Oh yes! I would love to see all the sights around Bellwood. Do you know anyone who could show me around?" Said Talley.
Ben scratched his chin in thought.
"Well as far as I know I'm free tomorrow. Why don't I give you the grand Tennyson tour?" Said Ben.
"I love that! If that's alright with you?" Said Talley.
"It's alright with me. I'll pick you up from the Plumber base tomorrow." Said Ben.
"Sounds good." Said Talley.
Trumbipulor was loaded onto the Plumber Tank for transport along with Lucy's team.
"See you tomorrow." Called Ben.
"See you latter Ben." Called Talley as the tank drove away.
Ben and Rook just stood on the docks.
"You like her don't you?" Asked Rook.
"Yeah...she's pretty awesome." Said Ben his cheeks slightly pink.
Rook just smirked.
"Come lets go grab some Mr. Smoothies." Said Ben.
The two of them walked off.
In the tank the team was cheering and congratulating each other on a job well done. Lucy smiled back at Talley.
I told you I'd get you some time together with Ben. I having a feeling your going to hit things off pretty well." Said Lucy.
"Thank you Lucy. I really appreciate it." Said Talley.
"No problem." Said Lucy.
They returned to base and were assigned a dorm to bunk in. Talley went to bed wondering what tomorrow had in store for her and Ben. Talley closed her eyes and slowly drifted off into sleep.
