A Spy's life Reboot EP 14: Freaky Alien Circus much?
I don't own anything except my OCs.
Ben snores away as he slept in his bed, dreaming without a care in the world when…... "AHHHHHHH!" "GAHHHH!" Ben screams as he shot out and tumbles onto the floor, groaning in pain and sleepiness. "Wha-? What happened? Is Vilgax back and attacking!?" He cries out as he shot up and stretches out and cracks his back as he looks out the window, only to be shot awake at seeing some people with camera vans parked outside!
"What the? How on earth?! Where did all these—" Ben had a realization as he glares. "Clover!" Slapping down on the watch, he changes into Big Chill phases right into Clover's bedroom, noticing Sam and Alex are with her, grabbed all 3 and brought them back into his room. "Hey! What gives, Ben? Like, why did you go all Big Chill on us?" The blonde asks the alien moth as he glares at Clover. "Clover… why are there camera people outside our house?!"
"Because Clover decided to sign us up to be on TV, against our wishes!" Big Chill was stunned by Sam's answer. "What?! Clover! Didn't you learn anything the last time we got involved with TV? And now you singed us up for some stupid reality show?!" "Hello, Ben! Beverly Hills Glamour Girls isn't stupid! It's the highest-rated teen show on television! We're going to be stars!" "I don't care, Clover! It's a total invasion of privacy!" Alex snarls out.
Big Chill glances at the people out the window and gets an idea. "Yeah! We can't star in a Reality show, Clover! We're undercover spies! And we need to keep the Omnitrix to ourselves! If word gets out of a watch that can turn its usher into aliens, it will be pandemonium and chaos fighting over the watch!" Big Chill phases out of the room as the 3 kept talking, timing out to Ben as he stands on the roof, unnoticed. "Come on! Recharge…" Ben begs the watch.
After a bit, he smiles as it glows green. He clicks it and rotates towards a familiar dinosaur and slaps down, running off the roof as the green flash got the camera crew's attention. SLAM "RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Humungousaur roars loudly in the people's faces, scaring them greatly as they all ran for the hills as the dinosaur kept scaring them off. The alien then coughs as Alex opens a window. "Scaring them off as Humungousaur. Crude, but effective! Nice going, Bro!"
"Thanks… Say, you got a lozenge? Roaring as Humungousaur is tough on the throat." Alex gave one as Clover was in dismay at her shot at stardom running off as Sam questioned his choice of alien. "Why didn't you use Rath to scare them off? I think a giant tiger would do the trick as well!" "I wanted to scare them! Not break their bones." He explains that he does not want to use Rath due to his anger problems. But just then, the girls were WOOHPED just as the ground opened to allow Humungousaur to be sucked in as well.
Intro:
The screen is black, only for a bolt of green lightning to makes a flash of white light as upbeat music is heard.
Ben stands as he is smirking at the camera as a black with green bubbles background is behind the tween, making the boy raise both his arms and shows off his new Omnitrix and then slaps down with a grin, making a flash of light.
"BEN 10!"
"He's a kid and he wants to have fun!"
Upgrade with hands on hips appears as a close-up of his face shows up in the background as a bolt of lightning comes down.
Big Chill flies across and freezes as the same thing happens to Swampfire, leaping out of an explosion.
"But when you need a superhero, he gets the job done!"
"BEN 10!"
Shock Rock smashes his fists together, sending out waves of electricity that affects the 4th wall.
"With A device that he wears on his arm."
"He can change his shape and save the world from harm!"
Ben poses with his Omnitrix, just as headshots of Shock Rock, Water Hazard, Big Chill and Swampfire show up, one-by-one.
Rath was staring at Grey Matter, who hopped along a bunch of platforms with the watch symbol on it as the tiger alien was confused before it turned into rage as he held his head in anger.
"When trouble's taking place."
Ben was then running towards the screen.
"He gets right in it's face!"
"BEN 10!"
Humungousaur, Slapback, Fasttrack and Upgrade's headshots show up as well!
A green circuit board background is shown as 5 aliens show up in a row as Ben was staring at the 4th wall as his right side is shown. The aliens are Shock Rock, Fasttrack, Rath, Swampfire, and 4 Slapbacks.
"When lives are on the line."
The same thing happens with his left side as more aliens appear. The aliens are now: Big Chill, Water Hazard, Grey Matter, Humungosaur, and Upgrade, which is still in normal form.
"It's hero time!"
"BEN 10!"
It ends with Ben and Alex, standing side to side with crossed arms and smirks as well as Normie and Madison on Ben's side and Sam and Clover on Alex's side the title appears above.
"Sorry to disturb you, so early." Jerry apologizes after the girls crashed down on the couch as he tests out a new camera he got as the girls recovered as Sam and Alex stand over Clover with scowls on their faces. "You didn't disturb us at all, Jerry! Clover did!" "Yeah! For once, I'm glad we were WOOHPED! At least we'll be away from the nosy TV cameras, should they come back." "Cameras?" Jerry ponders Alex's statement.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! OOFFF!" Humungousaur was stuck in the tube with his bottom half and lower arms flailing about to get unstuck. "Ugggg… Okay. Going to need to talk to Jerry about WOOHPING and being big aliens at the time." "I already made a note of it." Jerry spoke as he lowered the camera. But the girls look at him and start laughing. "You girls better not be laughing at me!" "Sorry, Ben! It's just so funny seeing something like this! And it, like, never happened before!" Clover starts laughing as Sam giggles. "But thanks for the chuckles! We need a good laugh." "Yeah! Now you can't make fun of me at the time my head got stuck in that Ice Cream container." Alex grins out.
"Okay…. Not funny the first time. But the 2nd time: Still fair game!" Alex groans out, just as the watch timed out and Ben lands on the couch. "So…. Jer? Where are we heading this time?" The Spies changed into their suits as the boss brings up a holo-map of an area. "Okay, team. Here's today's Mission: People have been reported missing all over Toronto." "Thanks Jer! Really narrows down." Clover sarcastically responds.
"Yes… well, I'm afraid the missing reports are all we have to go on and there have been 10 in the last hour." "So, 10 people have been missing for over an hour…. I'm thinking it's paranormal activity! Maybe even alien!" Ben points out. "Now, before we get all excited, I have an idea: Let's map out where the people and average it together! Maybe it can show us where they're heading before disappearing." "Good thinking, Sammy!" Alex phrases.
GLADIS calculates the new data, showing a group of red dots in an area by the beach. "Okay, judging from the looks of thing, the disappearance happened by the Toronto beaches." Ben spoke out at the map.
Alex gasped as an exciting look came to her face. "You know what that means?!" "A trip to the Great Lakes?" Jerry asks in a mini version while standing in a boat as it sails on water underneath the girl, only to sink at Alex's answer. "No! Real maple Ssyrup!" Both girls blink in confusion and worriment at their friend's comment as Ben rubs his stomach in thought. "I guess we could stop for breakfast. Hadn't anything ever since our rude awaking by Clover's TV crew." Ben glared at Clover, and she did the same as sparks fly.
"Now for the gadgets." Jerry spoke out, making the team move forwards as GLADIS assigns each one to the teens. "You will have the Heat Sensor Motion Detector Sunglasses. The Sonic Disintegrator Boom Box and 3 Hanna Tracer Tattoos." GLADIS made unique tattoo design on each left forearm of the teens. "Um… Newsflash, Jer: Hanna Tattoos are so last millennium." Clover states. "I'll make a note of that. Good luck in your mission." Jerry said to Clover as the 4 got onto the Omni-Copter and flew off on their next mission.
Above the skies, Alex peeks out of the window while her Glasses scans the ground, finding the remains of a carnival. "This place is a ghost town. Nothing but a whole whack of Carnival Diablo flyers." "Great! There's only one thing that freaks me out more than ghost towns and that's carnivals." Clover groans out as Ben slightly widened his eyes at the word 'Carnival' as he spoke out. "Uhh… I'm sure it's nothing. Probably just a false alarm. Even top spy organizations get fake info, now and then." "Not quiet, Ben. The city has no record of authorizing this carnival or any other carnival in the last 20 years." Sam spoke out from the computer. Alex straps on her jetpack and told the team. "Either way, we need to go down and get a closer look."
The team were investigating the area, trying to find something that's a clue. Ben was glancing around as some memories surfaced when he noticed a piece of glass on the ground. "What's this?" Sam noticed as well and they both knee down. "It looks like part of a mirror." But when they both touched it, it started glowing as it reacted to the Omnitrix, causing it to go haywire as they were both stunned. "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" "I DON'T KNOW!" FLASH
Alex and Clover rushed right where the dust cloud was, notching Ben groaning as he picked himself up. "Oh… My head…. What happened?" "Are you okay, Ben?" "I'm fine. That weird mirror piece didn't affect me at all for some reason." "See!? This is why I don't like Carnivals! Even the mirrors are freaky!" Clover complains as Alex analyzes the mirror piece. "Better send this to Jer for analysis. And we need to get back. Homeroom starts in 20 mins!"
Just then, Clover notices something off. "Hey, where's Sam? SAM!" "I'm over here! That flash must have knocked me in the bushes. I'm fine, but I feel a little heavy for some reason." They all glanced at the direction of their friend's voice as it was coming from some bushes.
But out of the bushes was not a teenage girl as they gained surprised and stunned looks. "What? Is there a spider in my hair?!" "Uh…. Sam? Don't freak out… But you changed." Ben points out. "What do you mean? Please tell me I don't have zits!" "It's not that! Well… it's just… Look at your hands." Clover spoke out as Sam raises them, only to see blocky, muscular limbs made from pale-green crystal with 4 fingers. "WHAT THE?! Mirror! I need a full body mirror!"
Alex was convicted of doing it. But she sighs out and activated her X-powder. "Please don't freak out, Sammy." She displays a hologram mirror, showing the 7-feet-tall, humanoid, made out the same crystals in it. The being has Sam's suit, only the sleeves are torn off as her limbs and build is slim, yet, bulky with an hourglass figure. The being has all green eyes, a strong and small jaw. She has crystal bangs and a ponytail made out for hair. The being was shocked and scared as she shakily raised her hands up and touched her face, confirming that it was real, as Sam responded in the only response in this situation: screaming. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I'M AN ALIEN!"
Ben and Sam were at WOOHP HQ while the girl was being scanned as Alex and Clover were at school, which Jerry was able to get both out of thanks to a few sneaky phone calls with the right disguise tech. "Not to worry, Sam. We're already analyzing your structure, but it will be a bit… hard." Jer chuckled a bit, but Sam and Ben were not amused. "Dude. I like puns and pranks, but even I know there's a time and place for them! Learned that the hard way." "Right. Sorry." Jerry coughed, excusing himself. "But what I want to know is, how did I turn into a walking chandelier?" Sam cries out.
"Already getting results…. Apparently, your DNA got cross with something called a 'Petrosapien'." "Or, more specifically, one of my old transformations, Diamondhead." Ben summarizes as Sam spoke out. "Thanks for the info. How about reversing what happened to me, now!?" Jerry responds as he gazes over at the mirror piece on an analyzer. "We're already analyzing it, but it will take some time." FLASH Grey Matter hops up to the computer and starts working on it. "Not a problem for Grey Matter! Now let's see…." He starts typing as Sam got off and approaches the others.
"Got it! Apparently, the mirror is a mercurial compound that rewrites Human DNA and mutates them in a random function. I theorized what happened: When Sam and I touched the mirror together, the compound must have detected the Omnitrix's DNA Sample Storage, and acting to its programming, was randomizing the DNA of Sam, cross contaminating with a random sample from the watch, thus choosing Diamondhead since it was also accessing the Omnitrix's memory banks of every alien I had transformed into since I was the 1st to wear it since its creation! I wasn't affected because the Omnitrix protects the usher's DNA from mutations by its fail safes and security measures, thus causing a biofeedback that affected Sam." Grey Matter deduces.
Sam crosses her arms. "Okay! That explains some things. Now the question is figuring out to fix me?! I can't be an alien forever!" Jerry assures the girl that they will find a way to reverse it. "We're working on it, Sam. But it might take some time."
Just then, an alert went off as Jerry checked on it. "Sorry, but we just picked up another Carnival Diablo in Brazil! I'll send Alex and Clover to go with Ben." "WAIT! What about me? So, what if my body is different than before, I can still help!" Sam exclaims as she threw her arms apart, only to accidentally fire a barrage of shards at a window, breaking it as they all stared in surprise as Grey Matter blinks and states. "Okay…. Now you also have Diamondhead's powers as well." Sam made a sheepish exasperation as Jerry raised an eyebrow. "Oops?" She chuckles out.
In Brazil, the carnival was in full swing as crowds of people were enjoying it. Clover was struggling with the stilt legs of her circus disguise while Alex was on ground level with her disguise. Ben was walking behind them in human form, while talking to Sam on his phone. "Look, just stay in the copter, okay, Sam? You'll just be the eyes in the sky." "Great... forced to be air control, swell! Anyway, from the looks of things, I say, weird! In Toronto, the carnival couldn't pack up and get out of town, fast enough!" Ben relays this comment to Alex as she responds. "And here, it's the star attraction."
As Ben shuts off his phone, he notices a poster that showcases some circus freaks that looks like it came from years ago. As he looks at it, he can't help but be put off the kid in the poster that has 4 arms. "Huh? It's like looking at a baby Four Arms, minus the extra eyes and red skin." He then made his way pass the crowd, squeezing out when he noticed what looks like a rubber woman and a werewolf man hold a girl hostage at a carnival ride.
"How is no one noticing this? Whatever! Guess it's hero time!" He dials his phone and contact Alex and Clover. "Clover! Alex! Look at the coasters!" The teens saw it and leapt into action, morphing out into their suits as they confronted the 2, but quickly escaped into the ride as the teens leapt onto a car and sped off. Ben got into one, only to be surprised by the safety bars pinning him to his seat! "What the? YEAAAAHHHHHH!"
While the girls screamed in terror, Ben screamed in excitement. "YAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHOO-OOH! THIS IS AMAZING! THIS ROLLAR COASTER IS REALLY COOL!" They eventually came to a stop at a door as it opens, making them slowly go down a tunnel filled with mirrors. "Hello! Look at this beauty in the mirror!" Clover marveled as she admired herself in the mirror as Alex sweat drops.
Just then, Ben noticed a piece of one was missing, making him realize that the shard they found came from the mirrors. "This must be where the mirror shard that changed Sam came from!" Just then, the sound of a cane alarmed them.
The source of the sound came from a man wearing a red suit jacket, white pants, and black boots with a black top hat. "I hope you all enjoyed the ride because it'll be the last one that you all will take as you!" The man said. "Hold on! Is this the demented ramblings of an insane guy or am I supposed to understand him?" Clover asked. "In my prime, I was known as the Octopus boy." The man said before his coat opened, revealing two extra arms!
"Whoa! That's the Four Arms kid from the poster! Only older." Ben blinks out. "You never knew he had extra arms under there! Who's your tailor?" Clover comments as the man grasp his cane. "A proud family tradition eroded by today's ridiculous excuse of a carnival! But I'm going to change all that!" The man said while Clover and Alex looked at each other like the man was crazy while Ben is wondering is revenge the only option for people who had bad days and times in this universe. "It's official: Every bad guy in this world is a real screwball." The boy deadpans. "You all will now finish your ride in my hall of mirrors where you'll all be turned into freaks like me! MUHAHAHA!" The teens glared at the man as Ben comments. "This guy is like a combination of Dr. Animo and Zombozo: Crazy and showy."
"And together, we will create the greatest show on earth!" The man said before the man-beast pulled the lever sending the teens straight into the hall of mirrors where the carts dashed towards the mirrors at a high speed. Ben quickly starts dialing his Omnitrix. "Come on, watch! Any alien will be good right now!" "Oh no! We're next!" Alex cries out as they go through the mirror. "I'm blue and scaly!" Alex said as she was turned into a fish. "At least you not the elephant girl!" Clover said comically crying. FLASH
Big Chill flew up as he glanced at himself. "Great…. I wanted Gravattack and I got the moth, instead. Well, at least I'm out and about." "Wha? STOP HIM!" The Ringmaster order as the Man Beast and the rubber woman did what they are told. The Beast leapt up to grabbed him, but the alien merely phased through and froze him, making him crash on the ground with a thud as the woman was stunned and glare at the alien, who dodged her attack and made an ice mace on his hand, using it to smack her away. "Guess practice does make perfect." He then glanced back to see the Ringmaster, along with his friends, were gone. He looks to see the freaks are gone too, making him narrow his eyes in annoyance.
In the Omni-copter, hovering above, Ben explained to Sam what happened. "Oh, boy! We need to find Clover and Alex and stop this Ringmaster before the world becomes a freakshow!" "But how!? We don't know where they went, and the Carnival just disappeared like the other one." As Sam tapped her chin, she suddenly had a brainstorm. "Wait! The Tracer Tattoos!" She made Ben get out her X-powder as they saw 2 blinking red lights heading towards Paris. "Looks like we're going towards French."
"Wait!" Ben stops Sam as he spoke. "I may not be as smart or mature as you, Sam. But even I know you shouldn't go down there with your current condition! But…. I had known Diamondhead, inside and out for a whole year. So… get ready! I'm giving you a crash course on his powers!" Sam nods in confirmation.
The Copter flew and made it towards Paris, French as the copter sets down and drops them off and then flies away on autopilot. They peek out of a corner at another Carnival Diablo. "They must be inside." "Question is, how do we get in?" Ben asks the girl as they then both noticed a cannon as they both shared a smirk.
Inside the tent, Clover and Alex were with other mutated people, in a cage as it was guarded by the Man-Beast and Rubber Woman. "Okay! I've heard of togetherness, but that's a tad extreme." Clover comments. "I may be a fish! But I still have rights! Now let me out of here!" Alex spoke while holding the bars. "No can do! Besides, doesn't everyone want to be in show business?" Clover responds back to the werewolf while Alex gained a deadpanned look at her friend. "For your information, I'm already in show business! I'm… a Beverly Hills Glamour Girl."
BOOM "LOOK OUT!" "INCOMING!" The 4 glanced in surprised to see 2 fast moving, green, projectiles heading towards the guards, smacking into them, and knocking them out cold as they landed with cracks to reveal Slapbacks. "Double header, man!" "Give me 3!" They both Hi-3 as Sam rushed up to him.
"Ben! Sammy! Glad you 2 came here!" "And nice Cannonball, Bro! You can totally be in the Circus if you want to." The Slapbacks got uneasy looks at their sister's comment. "Uh… No thanks!" "Yeah, we're not circus people." Sam spoke out. "Let's get them out." The Slapbacks fused together as the Alien hybrid opens the doors, freeing everyone.
"So, you girls learned anything from the head freak?" Sam asks. "Let's just say, the Ringmaster is thinking bigger, MUCH bigger!" Clover points her trunk at a large curtain, seeing a wall of mirrors as Slapback grabs the rope and starts pulling it down with ease.
The Curtains reveals a large audience, making the group surprised. "Oh, no! The Ringmaster is going to mutate everyone!" "I think that's the point!" Sam spoke to the boy in the group as they left the stage, only for the audience to be strapped down and moving towards the mirrors, screaming against their wills.
"We need to stop this!" Sam cries out as they get ready for action. "Wow!" They glanced back in surprise to see the annoying TV crew, much to their shock, except Clover. "You are Glamour Gals! Except the green fella. Who are you?" Sam quickly covers the camera and responds. "Uh… Can you excuse us for a min?" They grabbed Clover and rushed off.
Backstage, the 3 were glaring at Clover. "Mind explaining how that guy and his TV people found us, across the ocean and here of all places, Clover?!" The alien exclaims with crossed arms and a frown as blonde got nervous at Slapback and her friends. "Umm... It was a coincidence?" "No!" They said as Sam pulled on her trunk and snapped it back. "OKAY! I called him, but because I missed being a star." The 3 glared at her. "How can you be a star when your nose is a 4-foot trumpet, and your ears are the size of dinner plates?!" "I thought I be back to normal by now!" Clover lamely answers Alex, only to hear the people screaming again.
"No time except Hero Time, gals!" "Ben's right! We must stop the Ringmaster! We need to cut the power!" Sam spoke out as she saw the generator and shut it off, stopping everything. Only for the light to kick back on as the people were slowly led to the mirrors. "Crude! The guy must have a backup!" Alex cries out. "Well, I can't leave such an important event up to chance now, could I?" The Ringmaster spoke as he appeared. He then snaps his fingers as a couple of doors open to reveal the guards.
"It would have made thinks easer." Alex groans as Slapback sighs out. "Yeah, but in my experience, I learned that bad guys always do things the hard way, every time." "We need to split up." Sam spoke out as she took charge. "Alex, stop the ride! Clover, take care of the camera crew! Ben, deal with the guards! I'll take him!" Slapback nods as he gestures to himself. "Just hit my back and you got yourselves a deal!" The teens did that, splitting him into 8 as the aliens charged at the guards, while Alex and Clover went off.
"Why don't you stay for the show? You might get a kick out of it!" Sam responds back. "No thanks! Besides, I'm already freaky, enough!" The Ringmaster charged with his cane, but the weapon broke on Sam's diamond skin as she made a shield out of her left forearm, making her smirk at her new super durability as she judo flip him over into some sandbags. "Wow! I can really like this!" Sam giggles out as she looks in amazement at her new powers.
Alex, realizing how to stop the ride, held out the Sonic Disintegrator Boombox. "Mirrors! Meet the Sonic Disintegrator Boom Box!" She sets it down and turns it on, setting out sound wave that was affecting Sam as she was getting hurt because of Diamondhead's sound weakness. "Hope these mirrors cracked before I do!" The mirror shattered to pieces as Alex turned it off, making Sam breathe as she recovered.
"That was close…" "ENOUGH!" She glanced to see the Ringmaster, angry as he glared. "Time to finish you off!" He cracks his knuckles and charges, only for Sam to fire diamond shards, making the man back off as he dodges them, aiming at his feet. He quickly grabs a metal chair and charges, only for Sam to make a sword and sliced it into 2, much to his surprise, and smack him back with a mallet for a left hand. She then slams her hands on the ground, making a bunch of crystals rose and trapped the Baddie. "That should keep you contained." The female alien hybrid smirks out.
Sam dust her hands off as Slapback, having dealt with the guards, came up. "Nice work, Sam! Guess that quick training worked." The alien hero comments. "That's something you don't see every day…" Alex said as well. Sam then asked. "Hey, where's Clover?" It turns out that Clover was boring the entire camera crew with talks of her life.
"And then in second grade, in a carnival like this one, I won the little butterturn pageant and right then, I knew that my calling was to make the world a more beautiful place!" Clover said. "For the millionth time, what is with the elephant costume?" Hans asked in exhaustion. "Patience, Hans, Now, where was I? In third grade…" Clover began again while Slapback, Sam and Alex smiled. "So…should we help those guys?" Alex asked Slapback and Sam who both smiled. "Nah! They're on their own!" Slapback said before laughing with Sam and Alex.
The Next day, everyone is back home and back to normal as Ben is lying on the couch, reading comics. "Hey, I got popcorn with extra butter, glitter girl." "Ha ha. Very funny, fish Girl." Sam sarcastically responds from the table. "I'm just glad the WOOHP Scientists were able to make everyone normal, again." "Yeah! I'm surprised you gave up being Diamondhead, too, Sam? You did rather good back there with his powers, I thought you wanted to keep them?" Ben ponders out.
"I admit it was pretty cool having superpowers and it would be nice to keep them, but I prefer being my normal height and weight and having smooth skin instead." Sam answers "Okay, everyone! It's Galmour time!" Clover cries out as the teen girls sit on the couch while Ben rolls his eyes and lowers his comic book.
But when the show went on, Glamour Girls had Mandy on instead of the girls! "Mandy!?" Ben, Sam, Clover and Alex all asked. Clover called Hans only to get met with his voicemail. "Ugh! Hans is too scared to pick up his phone! Why would he replace us with someone like Mandy!?" Clover asked. "Let's face it, Hans needed a star and we're already loaded with our spy missions!" Alex said to Clover to cheer her up.
"With how beautiful I am, I was born to be on National T.V!" Mandy said on her show, ticking off Clover. Clover tried calling Hans again but to no avail… "Maybe you're right about Stardom, Ben…" Clover said looking up at Ben. "Well, I kind of like saying 'I told you so.' So, I told you so." Ben smiles as the girls tickle Clover, making her laugh.
