Omni-Magic Summer Ep 9: The Alliance
I don't own anything, except my OCs.
Vilgax's ship hovers in orbit as 2 more drones are launched to Earth. "The drones are launched. Equipped with the new tracking system, they will have no trouble finding and retrieving the Omnitrix." The drone told its master, as Vilgax's chamber is covered in steel plates with a small window for display. "They may find it, 'GASP' but retrieving it will not be easy. Whoever possesses the Omnitrix, continues to be a dangerous and brilliant opponent." Vilgax exclaims as he narrows his eyes.
At the Canterlot Mall, Juniper Montage, now having a movie theater apron and hat was walking as people were doing and talking about stuff. Just then, the girls' 'Dance magic' video appeared on some TV screen, making Juniper growl as she stomps away. As she walked, she saw another TV showing the video. "Those girls!" No matter where she goes, she keeps running into the video. But the final straw was when she passed by a newsstand that had an article about Overflow stopping a bank robbery. "GGRRRRRR!"
"It's bad enough that brat has played the hero and meddled in my plan and helped those girls get me kicked off the set..." She bumps into a floor sign showing the movie. Looking at it, she grits her teeth at the sight of the Rainbooms on the small corner, showing their cameos. "But now they have a cameo on the movie I want to be in?! I bet they'll be at the premiere tonight. I bet I'll be the lucky one ushering them to their seats. Ugh!" She starts slapping and shaking the sign, anger clear on her face she glares with fury at the ones that ruined everything for her.
"Juniper? Where are you?!" The girl rolls her eyes in annoyance at her boss as she takes out a walkie-talkie, mocking him with her mouth and hands as she responds. "We need you back at the popcorn popper, stat!" "Kik… What was that? Keekkk… Boss? Can't hear you! Keekkk… Losing you!"
She puts her radio away as she walks to a glasses kiosk. "If those girls and boy hadn't shown up, I would have played Daring Do! Tonight would have been about me. I would have been a star!" She puts on some shades as she poses, making the salesman shake his head in disapproval. The teen takes them off and looks at them in disappointment. "You're right. They are a bit much."
As she checks for another pair, a sparking, trail of blue magic trails down from the roof and into a hand mirror, turning it into a crystal version of itself. As Juniper grabs and looks at it, the reflection changes into a star version of herself, making her scream and drop the mirror as she steps back.
"What was that?!" She leans down and touches it, making the mirror flare up as she screams again. She looks to see if no one is noticing and picks up the mirror, looking at it as the reflection Juniper blows a kiss at her. The real smiles in awe at the magic. "Incredible! Keep the change!" She tosses some money at the salesman as she walks away with her new mirror. "Something tells me that this is worth it."
Intro:
A Galaxy is shown with some planets as outer space music is heard.
Just for a flash of green light to occur, and shows the Omnitrix symbol with Ben's silhouette in the middle as the song picks up.
"It started when an alien device did what it did."
The 1st clip is Ben discovering the Omnitrix as it latches onto his arm as he panics.
He then presses down on the dial, transforming him into Heatblast as he cries out.
"And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid."
"Now he's got superpowers; he's no ordinary kid. He's Ben 10! (Ben 10!)"
The logo flashes a bit before showing off aliens:
Grey Matter, Overflow, Shock Rock, Heatblast, Tear-Wolf, Lodestar and Astrodactyl.
"So if you see him, you might be in for a big surprise."
"He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes!"
The boy is then shown transforming into Tear-Wolf as six more aliens appear and zoom in:
Upgrade, Shock Rock, XLR8, Four Arms, Heatblast and Tear-Wolf.
" He's slimy, freaky, fast, and strong; he's every shape and size."
"He's Ben 10! (Ben 10!)"
Just then, a flash-animated Ben runs towards the screen, flips, and morphs into Tear-Wolf.
He bites at the screen as a black and green '1'. Appear next to him.
2: Four Arms is next as he grins, raises his arms, and flexes.
3: Grey Matter leaps at the screen, only to splat comically.
4: XLR8 appears and zooms away.
"Armed with powers, he's on the case!"
"Fighting off evil from Earth or space!"
5: Upgrade wiggles his legs around as he raises his arms.
6: Shock Rock generates lots of power and blasts a large beam of blue energy across the screen.
7: Overflow flies upward on his water blasts.
8: Astrodactyl displays his whips and then rockets away on his jetpack.
"He'll never stop 'till he makes them pay!"
"Cause he's the baddest kid ever to save the day!"
9: Lodestar raises his claws as they generate a green aura as several pieces of metal float around him.
10: Heatblast chucks a fireball at the screen as Ben lands on the ground with his fist, cracking it as he grins.
"Ben 10! (Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben! Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben!)"
Tear-Wolf is then shown leaping from some trees as he looks fierce.
Shock Rock poses as he finishes transforming.
Sunset and the Rainbooms are shown powering up into their magic forms.
Heatblast chucks a fireball.
Ben is then shown slapping down on the Omnitrix.
The Mane 6, Spike, the royal sisters, the royal crystal family, Discord, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie and reformed Changelings, and Ben in griffon form stood together as they glared at someone as the Omnitrix boy smirked with crossed arms.
Twilight is shown fighting a giant bird monster as she uses her magic to slam it down on the ground.
Four Arms cries out as he finishes transforming.
XLR8 is shown running on top of the water.
The opening finishes up as the aliens all get sucked into the Omnitrix. Ben shows it while green rays come from it as the title appears next to him.
Ben 10: Magical Alien Summer.
As Juniper walks and smiles at her reflection, a crash, and a boom came from outside of the mall. "What was that?!" The teen dashes to the exit. She leaves the building to notice something going on down another street. Cutting through an alleyway, she stops in awe at seeing Four Arms battling the drones. "Oh. Him." "Hope you tin cans like hard rock!" He tore out a section of the road and threw it, only for them to dodge as they kept firing at him as he blocked. Juniper then notices the principals of Canterlot High watching as well. "What are they doing here?" She questions herself.
Celestia notices a nearby trashcan lid and picks it up, tossing it like a disc that hits one robot and knocks it away. "Nice shot!" Thanks, it's all in the wrist." Celestia said back to her sis. But just then, the other robot fires its laser at the building above them, making some rocks fall. "LOOK OUT!" Celestia shoves Luna away as she tries to avoid the rocks but knocks her down as Luna and Juniper gasp.
"TIA!" "NOOOO!" The alien hero cries in horror at his hurt family, before turning and glaring at the bots. They both swooped in and fired at him, only for the angry alien to grab them and hold them apart. "Nice try!" He squashes the 2 together and throws them away, making them land near the hiding girl. He ran over to the adults as Luna moved the rocks off her sister. "Ben! We need to get her to a doctor!" The alien gently picks up the woman as he grabs the other one and throws him on his back. "Hospital's up the street!" He then leaps away, rushing to save Celestia.
Juniper watches them with concern. "I sure hope she'll be okay." She saw the wreckage and curiosity got the better of her, moving in for a closer look. "What are these things?" She places her mirror down and tears off the head of one of the bots, looking at it. But suddenly, the robot's eye flares to life and jabs a cylinder into Juniper's neck, making her scream in pain.
Her neck starts turning red as her sleeves rip along with her socks and shoes. Her hair became let down as the hat fell off and a red visor appeared over her eyes while her glasses broke off. She grew 2 red orbs on her shoulders as silver sharp spikes appeared on her arms. She grew 4 sharp silver claws. She drops her head as she takes deep breaths, calming her nerves. But as she reaches for the mirror, she gasps in shock at her new hand. Picking up the mirror and looking at it, she screams in terror at her new appearance. "I'm a monster!" She cries out, horrified at her new appearance.
"Hey, lookie here boys." Juniper turns to see 3 thugs coming out of another ally as they all smirk. "Looks like some girl in dress-up. That's a nice mirror you got there. I think we'll take it." Juniper is scared by the dangerous men and backs away. "Stay back!" Just then, the orbs on her shoulder rose, firing energy beams at the thug's feet and blowing them away as they crashed into a wall.
The men were knocked out and Juniper was shocked at what she did. She looks at the orbs as they retract back and back at the mirror, which sends out a glow that travels up her body. When it died down, Juniper was normal along with her broken things back on her body. As she looks at her right hand, it suddenly shifts back into the cyber claw and back again. "Oh… Now that's an interesting side effect." She saw a poster of the movie nearby, grinning evilly at the Rainbooms. "I can't wait for premiere night!" She stabs her right claw at the corner and tears at the Rainbooms. She walks back as she sinisterly chuckles.
At the hospital, Luna and Ben were in a room as Celestia slept on a bed with a bandage around her head and a cast on her left foot. The 2 were talking to the doctor. "How's my sister?" "Celestia suffered from a concussion, a few lacerations, and a broken leg. " "She's… going to be okay, right?" Ben asked in concern. "We handled much worse than this. Your aunt is going to make a 100% recovery. I'm glad you got her here as quickly as possible. Now it says in her form that she was hit by a car bumper. Did someone back into her?" "Yes, it was an accident." The man nods to Luna's response and leaves. Ben turns and looks at the sleeping woman in guilt as Luna places a hand on his shoulder, giving him a small smile as they both watch.
"The drones were destroyed," Vilgax orders the humanoid. "Send out more!" "We may not need to. I'm receiving 1 combined signal. And that signal is stationed at the area where most of the Omnitrix sightings have been seen." Vilgax thinks about it, realizing the twist in this new development. "Hmm… perhaps one head is better than 2."
Juniper was busy admiring herself in the magic mirror when her boss asked her to clean up a popcorn spill. She groans in dismay as she stops at the mess. "This is the worst!" She then gets an idea, looking around to see no one. "I know just the thing to rid of this." She makes one of her orb blasters appear and fires a small beam, vaporizing the mess. She made the orb disappear as her boss walked by. "Wow! Done already? I'm surprised." He walks off as Juniper smirks. "I think I finally got the hang of these new upgrades. Now back to the counter for some mirror time and—" She starts spazzing out as she holds her head in pain.
"Wh—What is— Happening—" "Listen to me, whoever you are." Juniper stands up and looks around in shock. "Who are you?! How did you get inside my head?!" "NO QUESTIONS! You serve me!" "Look, buddy. I don't know who you are, but I don't serve anyone! Except for my boss…" She starts clutching her head again as she drops to her knees.
When she shot open her eyes, she saw that she was floating in a yellow and orange void in her cyber form. "You know possess a power that you can never imagined. But unless you find a way to use it, it is worthless!" A giant, undamaged Vilgax appears before the teen as she gasps in fear from the giant alien with red glowing eyes. "Fulfill my demand, and I will teach you. Fall me, and I will turn you into dust." "So… what do you want?" "Only one thing: a valuable piece of technology missing from my possession called the Omnitrix. Luckily for you, you are already programmed to find it."
Juniper gulps as she asks questions. "What does the Omnitrix look like, sire?" "It looks like a device that you humans call 'a watch' and has a green hourglass on it." Juniper widens her eyes at the description. "Did you say, 'watch and hourglass'? Cause, I know who has it." Vilgax widened his eyes briefly before narrowing his eyes as they glowed. "WHO?!" "A 10-year-old boy named Ben. He has it. I saw him before with it." Vilgax widens his eyes again as his teeth grind, trying to control pent-up rage as he mumbles out. "A child? The Omnitrix is the hands OF A MERE CHILD?!" Juniper closes her eyes in terror, expecting something bad to happen to her.
When she felt like nothing happened and noticed a solid floor, she opened her eyes to see she was human back in the movie theater. She looks around and asks herself. "Who was that guy?!"
At the hospital, Ben stares at Celestia as Luna steps in as she holds a bag. "Ben. I brought you some lunch. It's a double big cheeseburger with large fries, 2 chocolate chip cookies, and a large Root Beer. It's one of your favorites." "I'm not hungry." Luna looks in sadness at her nephew as she sets the bag down and sits with him. "It's okay. My sister is going to be alright. She's tougher than she looks. Besides, it's not your fault, it was an accident." "Yet, it feels like it's my fault." The boy mumbles out and walks out of the room. The other aunt follows him to see him leaning against the window with his arms crossed in thought. "Come on, Ben. She'll pull through."
"You know... If I went Upgrade and got into the machine she's hooked up to, I can enhance it and make her better!" "Ben, that won't work." The boy rubs the watch as he looks at his concerned aunt. "Okay, how about Shock Rock? I can use a small charge to wake her up. I don't know, I just want to help." Ben said as he activated the Omnitrix.
Unknown to him, Juniper, taking some time off, senses the Omnitrix's activation as she hovers in mid-air. She uses her computer vision to zoom and lock on the watch. "There you are, Tennyson."
Ben watches Celestia with a long look as Luna assures him. "Like I said, she's going to be fine." The boy looks at his other aunt, unassured to trust her words. Just then, they heard a sound, wondering where it came from when… CRASH The 2 leap out of the way as the cyber girl crashes through the window.
She stares at them as the 2 gasp in shock. "The Omnitrix. Give it to me!" "You want it? Come and get it!" Ben and Luna run, making Juniper raise one of her shoulder pods and fire at them. They turned a corner as the beams were missing. They kept running as the cyber girl followed them and kept firing. They both turn left as Ben stops and notices the stairway. "Stairs!" Luna turns and nods, following him down the spiraling stairway. "Ben! That girl! She looks like one of the robots from earlier. It looks like she merged with one of them!" "Yeah! But there's something familiar about her. I think I saw her before, but I can't remember where!" Just then, the top of the stairs got blown, making Juniper emerge and leap down.
Ben and Luna exit the Hospital and hide behind the ambulances as Juniper blasts her way through the door. She looks around the area, trying to find the kids as they both hide. "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." She notices a nearby cliff, blasting with both lasers and making some rocks tumble down. "Time to go wolf!" Ben selects Tear-wolf and slaps down. FLASH
Luna was surprised by Heatblast's appearance as he groaned out. "Great! I wanted metal muscle, and I got the alien matchstick instead!" He noticed the rock was getting closer. "Scissors cut paper! Fire melts rock, right?!" He questions as Luna shrugs, not sure how to answer. He takes a chance and unleashes a stream of flames at the rock, only to turn them into flaming boulders instead. "Okay... Bad idea!" He spots the ambulance and gets an idea, uses his flames to melt the front of the vans, and runs out of the way to see the makeshift barrier stop the flaming rocks as they roll down the street. "Hospital's saved!" Heatblast grins out, only for it to drop as Luna points out. "But there's people at the bottom of the street!"
Heatblast looks over and sees Luna is right as the rocks are heading towards the town. "Aw, man! I hate it when you're right." Heatblast runs off, only to get stomped by Juniper! But he bursts out flames to knock her off as he then blasts off and lands in front of the tumbling, flaming boulders. He then leaps up and slams a massive meteor to blast the road apart as the rocks fall into the massive hole, saving the people! He then grabs a nearby manhole cover and blasts a fire hydrate apart, using the cover to redirect the water to put out the flaming rocks. "Phew… Glad that's over."
Just then, Juniper swoops in and snatches him up, tossing him into a parked truck as all the people run as far away as possible. She then starts firing a barrage of lasers, making a giant smoke cloud. It clears to see debris and wrecked vehicles, but no alien. As the girl looks, Heatblast appears in front of a smoke cloud and grins with his arms crossed. "You want me? Take your best shot!" The cyber girl flies at him, hoping to tackle that smug grin on his face.
But he quickly dodges as the teen flies past him and stops. She notices that she is floating near an oil tanker with a spilled trail that leads up to Heatblast, who snaps a spark as it falls onto the liquid with a smug look, igniting it as it travels to the trailer. "Oh, hayseeds." BOOOOMMM She was sent flying across the city as Heatblast salutes her. "See ya!"
"Well, glad to see you eating. Guess that fight works up an appetite." Comments Celestia, who is now awake in a different room as Ben finishes the last of his food while Luna sits across. "When I was messing with the watch, I must have led her here." Ben realizes.
"Since I got moved to a new room and you haven't gone alien since then, we're safe." "Yeah, for today. But what about tomorrow? It's getting too dangerous for anyone to be near me. If I never found this watch, none of this would have happened!" Ben exclaims as he worries about the safety of those he cares about, scared of losing them because of him having the Omnitrix in the 1st place. Luna smiles as she points out. "But because the watch won't come off, there's nothing you can do about it." "Maybe, maybe not..." Ben said as he looked down in guilt. As the boy looks lost in his mind, the adults look at each other in worriment.
At the theater, Juniper recovered from the blast and steps behind the counter, cracking her back as she shakes her head from the ringing. "Well, that could have been worse." She pulls out her mirror and gazes at her dream self, cheering her up as she smiles. "At least you cheer me up a bit." She moves her elbow a bit, only to knock over a box of popcorn near her, spilling it.
"OH, DARN IT! Now, I gotta clean this mess up. I wish this mess would be gone." But just as she said that her mirror starts glowing, making her quickly point away just as a beam of energy sucks the spilled food in it and dies down. Juniper was shocked by the new power of the mirror. "WHOA! I did not know you could do that." She mumbles. As she places the mirror on the counter and looks at it, her head starts hurting as Vilgax contacts her again. "The Omnitrix. Where is it?"
She finds herself back in the mind space as the squid glares at her. "I couldn't get it. The kid's got tons of practice with his aliens. I need to figure something out." "Then make the boy come to you instead!" Vilgax narrows his eyes as he eats her, making the girl tumble down the darkness.
Juniper wakes up to see she's on the floor, picking herself up while rubbing her head, and picking up her mirror. "How am I going to make him come to me?" "JUNIPER MONTAGE?!" Juniper looks up in shock to see 6 of the Rainbooms staring at her as Pinkie yells in surprise. The hyper party girl then leans in as she rattles off, making the other teen annoyed as she wishes she could blast her mouth off. "Were you invited to the Daring Do premiere? Ooh, that's exciting! No, crazy! No, concerning! No! Just no! No offense." She smiles sheepishly.
Juniper adjusts her glasses as she explains, turning her back as she crosses her arms in annoyance. "I wasn't invited to the premiere. My uncle Canter Zoom felt bad for firing me, so he pulled some strings and got me this job." Fluttershy questions. "You work here?" "As little as possible." She frowns with crossed arms as her back is turned.
The Rainbooms look at each other in concern. "You know, if you hadn't tried to sabotage the movie, you could be celebrating with us." Rainbow's big mouth comment was the last straw as Juniper's rage built from the inside as she stomped around the counter. "This should be my night! I would have found a way to be in the film if you all had stayed out of it! I would have been Daring Do! Everyone would've loved me!"
As Juniper glares at them, she widens her eyes in realization as she starts thinking. "Actually, you can help me out for something." "Sorry, but we're going to see the movie instead." Rainbow as she steps away, only to quickly dodge a laser blast that hits the ground. The girls turn back in shock as Juniper smirks with her left shoulder pod smoking. "Ohh… I don't think you're going to make it." She turns into her cyber form as the Rainbooms gasps in shock. "Juniper…. What happened to you?!" Twilight cries as the girl responds. "Like my new look? I got some upgrades since we last saw each other." She said as she held out and flexed her new claws.
"And that's not the only new thing I picked up: I wish that you would all leave me alone!" She aims her mirror and shucks them in as they scream, leaving behind Fluttershy's barrette. She smirks at the mirror, revealing the girls as they cry for help. She turns back as she places the dropped item on her vest. "I think this will get the boy to come running to me."
Celestia was sleeping as Luna left for some work. Ben places a note on her and whispers. "I'm sorry. It's for your good." He then walks out of the room.
Ben sat on a bench at the mall with his head down, thinking in sadness about his family. "I made the right choice, I hope." "Ben, is that you?" The boy looks up to see Sunset Shimmer with another teen girl. She is the same height as Sunset with a light purple skin tone with darker hair with a blue streak. It also has a curly bang. She wears a pink with white stars beanie cap like him, except it covers partly her hair. She has a watch on her right arm and black boots with grey pants that are a bit ripped. She lastly has a black vest over a green and pink shirt. Ben looks at the girl, only to recognize her. "Starlight Glimmer? Is that you?" "Yep! Here for a visit and tour of your home."
"Is something wrong? You look upset about something?" Sunset asked as they both sat down. Ben sighs and tells them about everything. "…And I left a note for Celestia, saying it's better this way. It's the only thing I could do. As long as I have this on my arm, I'm pretty much a threat to everyone." Ben finishes up as the girls look sad.
"Ben, stop blaming yourself. No one could have predicted the watch or all we had been through. It was an accident." Sunset said as Ben still looked unconvinced. "Ben, from what I have been told, you fought Queen Chrysalis, Dr. Animo, poachers, slime aliens, hunters, and your very own rival. Yet, you never felt sorry at all during those times. I think the person you're supposed to forgive… Is yourself."
The kid turns towards Starlight in surprise as she continues. "Ben, everyone makes mistakes. Even Princesses like Twilight and Celestia. But what makes them better ponies is that they learn from their mistakes to do better. Your aunt Celestia isn't mad or disappointed in you, she's concerned about you. She doesn't want you to be this brooding boy who beats himself up over every little bad thing, she wants you to be your real self. So, let me ask you, who are you?"
Ben looks down in thought before answering with a determined face. "I'm Ben Tennyson! And I'm going to own up to my mistake!" The girls smile as all 3 stand up. "We're going to the movie to find our friends, want to come?" "Sure! And Starlight, thanks." "Hey, Princess of Friendship's student, what are you going to do?"
They all enter the lobby, only for Sunset to stop and gasp at the sight of Juniper's back to them. She quickly grabs the 2 and ducks behind a crane game. "It's Juniper Montage." "Juniper Montage?! I haven't seen her since the studio." Ben adds in as Starlight gasps in surprise. "Noo! Who's that?" The kids slap his forehead as Sunset explains. "She's trouble."
She spots something on her vest. "Huh… That's Fluttershy's barrette. Wait here for me." She hands Starlight her bag and walks to the counter as others watch. Juniper was admiring herself when she saw Sunset walking up. "Sunset Shimmer. I was wondering when you would show up?" "I'm looking for my friends. I don't suppose you've seen them." She questions as she fiddles with her geode. Juniper chuckles as Sunset gets mad. "Where are they?" "I'll never tell." Sunset smirks as she exclaims. "You don't need to." She quickly activates her magic as she grabs Juniper's hand.
But after seeing through her memories and finding out about friends and her cyber form, she was suddenly floating in the mind space as Vilgax appeared over her. "Listen to me very carefully, girl! Be terrified." The teen gasps in horror as she questions. "W—who are you?!" "I am Vilgax, conqueror of the cosmos! And I don't care how long it will take, I will retrieve the Omnitrix. And when I do, I will lay siege to this world and other galaxies! AND I WILL END THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO DARE DEFINE ME!" The giant Vilgax then tries to eat her as Sunset screams.
She lets go as she shakes like a leaf as Juniper questions "What? Are you okay?" The teen shakes her head as she pleads. "I know you want people to like you. But trust me, the magic in that mirror is only gonna make things worse for you. And you can't trust that alien! You have no idea what he's going to do to Earth when he gets the watch!" Juniper didn't believe her. "You're just saying that because you want the mirror for yourself. And I'm only doing what the guy said so he can get out of my head!" "What I want is my friends back. Please, Juniper! You wished them into that mirror! Maybe there's a way you can wish them out?" Juniper smirks as the mirror charges up. "Or… I wish that you could join them!"
The mirror sucks Sunset in as the 2 gasp in shock. "SUN—" Ben quickly gags Starlight and pulls her back as Juniper turns and looks. She activates her visors, scanning the place until she finds the 2 behind the claw game. She smirks to herself as she sneaks off. "Okay, we need to figure out a plan to save the others. Any ideas?" "Me? I thought you had something?" Starlight questions the boy as he responds. "You're the student of Princess Twilight, you're supposed to be smart!" "Right…" Ben peeks out, only to be surprised. "Hey, where did she go?"
"I got a bad feeling about this..." Starlight mumbles out as she feels something on her right, making her turn and gasp as she quickly ducks under a claw as it stabs itself in the game. "Peek-A-Boo!" Juniper cries out as she emerges from the other side as the 2 back away from her. As Ben stares at the claw, he suddenly knows. "It's you! You were the one that attacked me earlier!" "Bingo, Tennyson!" Juniper exclaims as she steps towards them while morphing into cyber form. 'Now, I believe you have something I'm looking for! And I like that and payback time, now!" She raised her orbs as they charged.
Ben activates the watch and turns towards XLR8's shadow. "You want this?" FLASH She fires as the beams missed, leaving her to get sucker punched and lose her grip on her mirror, which XLR8 grabs and gives to Starlight after setting her down. "You gotta be quick about it! Let's go!" Starlight nods as they both leave. The cyber teen recovers and notices her magic mirror is gone, making her growl out.
XLR8 arrives at the center and calls out to the people. "EVERYONE! GET OUT NOW!" BOOM An explosion comes from the theater as Juniper rises, making the people run in terror as they try to get away. "GIVE THAT BACK!" She roars out as she opens fires.
"Let's split up!" Starlight yells out as they go in different directions. Juniper looks between the 2 and decides on XLR8 first. She follows and lands, only to be sideswiped by some lighting hits. The alien hero stops in front of her with a smirk. "Let's dance, shall we?" The girl responds by grabbing his leg, slamming him down, and kicking him, sending him sliding back. He got up as Juniper exclaimed while prepping her lasers. "If he wants his Omnitrix, he can have it! I just want my mirror back." "'He?' Who's he?" The alien whispers, wondering what Juniper is talking about.
He dashes and delivers a barrage of speedy kicks that pushes the girl back. "One good kick deserves another!" He delivers 3 hard hits that send the girl smashing into a wooden floor sign. He notices Starlight, zips up to her, and lifts his visor. "Have you figured something out?" "Not yet, but I'm thinking I can wish the girls free so they can fix this mess! Can you keep Juniper distracted for a bit longer?" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP XLR8 widens his eyes at the timeout. "Unfortunately, no!" FLASH Ben looks at himself and gets a ticked-off look. "Aw, man!"
"That's mine!" Both dodge a claw swipe from Juniper as they both run from her. "No! This mirror is nothing but trouble. You have to realize that." Starlight calls out as they hide behind a potted plant. Juniper lifts it with one claw as she glares. "What I realize is that you are just like those other girls! I wish you'd join them!" Starlight held the mirror away, only to notice it didn't do anything as they continued running. "Looks like you can't make that wish unless you're the one holding the mirror!" "That's great and all! But how are we going to stop her?!" "I'm working on it!" Ben decided to hide behind a sign as Juniper keeps after Starlight.
Ben's cell phone rings as he answers it. "Aunt Celestia! Now's not the best time! Me and Starlight are fighting the cyber girl again, but nothing won't work on her!" "Ben, if you can't hit her from the outside, take her down from the inside. She's part machine." Ben realizes that there is an alien that can handle tech. "Thanks, Aunt Celestia!" He pockets the phone as he follows the 2. He caught up as Juniper punched some TV screens in rage as Starlight crouched in the same stand the mirror first showed up. He ducks into an empty store's counter and dials the Omnitrix, selecting Upgrade as he slaps down.
The watch sinks into his arm as black skin with green digital lines crawls up it to his head. His hair, features, and hat vanished as a single, green circle appeared on his new head. He then spun around and posed as the transform sequence was complete.
Upgrade runs out and leaps to the upper floor, positioning himself behind Juniper as he gets ready to attack. The cyber girl rips the roof as she yells out. "LIKE WHAT?!" "Like... a friend?" "Who would want to be my friend?!" "I would." "WHY?!" Juniper snaps as Starlight responds. "Because I understand you, Juniper. You think getting revenge is going to make you feel better, but it's not! Please, don't make a mistake that you'll end up regretting for the rest of your life." Juniper starts looking remorse at her speech as she tosses the roof away. "I've already made too many mistakes. What I've done is... is... unforgivable."
Starlight approaches with a smile as she holds the mirror out. "No, Juniper. I know they'll forgive you. But first, you must set them free!" Juniper looks in sadness as she reaches for the mirror, only to clutch her head as she screams in pain. "GAAAHHHH!" "And that's my cue!" Upgrade leaps and lands on Juniper, merging with her as she struggles as Starlight watches in shock. Just then, lighting starts dancing around the head as Upgrade finds himself being pulled somewhere else.
Upgrade finds himself in the same mind space with Vilgax as the warlord glares down. "Listen to my every word, boy! Be afraid." Upgrades try to cover himself from the terror before him as Vilgax glares at him. "You cannot run! You cannot hide from me. I will find you. And when I do, I will retrieve my Omnitrix, and I will destroy you! You cannot escape the wrath of Vilgax! The giant squid opens his mouth and tries to swallow him.
Upgrade continues struggling and unmerging from her. As Juniper raises her pods, her skin turns normal as well as her hair while the visor breaks off. The rest of the body broke off to reveal her back to normal body. "I'm… normal?" She said in shock. "Mostly normal, but you get the point." "Hurry, Juniper." Starlight handed her the mirror as the girl made the wish. "I... I wish I could make up for my mistakes." A flash of light from the mirror emerges, only for all the Rainbooms to emerge in a tangle of limbs as the mirror turns into a regular one.
Sunset and rubs her head as Starlight comes over to her. "Starlight! Upgrade! You did it!" She hugs the girl as the Mechamorph gives a thumbs up. Juniper looks at her reflection and looks at the Rainbooms as she expresses guilt. "I'm so sorry." "It's okay, we all have been there," Sunset said as she and Upgrade were surprised. "Really?" Starlight, Twilight, and Sunset explain one by one. "Manipulated an entire town into giving up their talents so they wouldn't think they were special." "Overpowered by a magic I couldn't control and created a rift between two worlds, almost destroying both of them in the process." "Turned an entire school into my zombie army in hopes of conquering a distant pony world."
The 2 stares in shock at what they hear. "Wow! We are a forgiving group.' Pinkie comments as Upgrade whispers to Starlight and Sunset. "Okay, you have got to explain about those other times, because you 2 and Twilight were bad guys, that I don't believe." The 2 giggles in response as the group joins in.
Later, at the Hospital, the Rainbooms and Juniper were hanging out as Starlight and Sunset were talking. Celestia came out of the building with her sister and nephew helping her on crutches as she was discharged. "Now get home, Tia! I'll run your errands while you rest." "Thanks, sister. Feels nice to get out of the hospital." The 2 walk to the parked car as Starlight comes up. "Here, let me help you." The woman smiles in response.
"Don't worry, we'll send get-well cards soon, Principal Celestia!" Twilight said as the others agreed as well. As the 3 walked to the car, out of ear distance from the others, Starlight asked Ben something. "Hey, Ben. When you were Upgrade, you froze up for a second while wrestling Juniper. What is up with that?" "I don't know. When I was fighting Juniper, I saw this other alien." Celestia got in, with a bit of difficulty, and started the car. "We were both floating in space, and he was talking to me. He looks like a human. Except he had an octopus for a head. He said I should be afraid and said a name. He calls himself Vilgax." Ben notices his aunt looks pale as a sheet with shrunken eyes.
"Aunt Celestia? You look afraid." "Is there something wrong?" Celestia shakes her head and smiles at the 2. "No, no. It's okay. I'm fine. Let's head home for some rest. You earned it." Ben waves bye at Starlight as she does the same while heading back. Celestia looks up at the sky, thinking about something.
In Vilgax's chamber, the warlord narrows his red glowing eyes in darkness, plotting for the Omnitrix. But also, the destruction of this new alternate world he learned from Sunset's mind. "This isn't over, boy!"
