A Hero's Life Reboot Ep 18: Forever Knighted.
I don't own anything except my OCs. A little fact about the leader of the Forever Knights: The leader is Sir George, only he's like Bishop from TMNT 2003. More about him is to be revealed in a later chapter.
In a mysterious dark large room, an armored figure approaches a person on a throne and kneels. "What have you reported?" "Your Majesty, our scouts have confirmed: The Evil Paranormal Forces that you and our ancestors once fought and locked up, have returned once again." "This is most disturbing. Although our forces are great, they are limited. As well as the technology, we can only savage so much." The figure stood up and walked towards a stained-glass window with his arms behind his back. "If the world and humanity ever find out about the truth of its dark side, then Armageddon will be upon us."
"My lord, we might have found a way that can help us in the fight against the dark beings." "If it's WOOHP or the Center, I don't trust them well enough to hold a blade by my side. They are too soft." The armored figure steps out of the shadows to reveal that he is covered from head to toe in grey and sliver medieval knight armor with claws and a symbol on its abdomen that looks like an infinity sign. "We might have discovered someone that may be our greatest ally, or greatest threat if we don't sway him to our side."
He holds out a disc as it displays a hologram video of Ben and his Omnitrix in action as the man notices. "Who is this?" "From our spies' info, his name is Benjamin Daniel Tennyson. Or Ben for short. And we learned that he is from a parallel Earth. And what's more, he has the power to transform into, what we have gathered, are 'Aliens', thanks to this device on his arm." He showcases the Omnitrix as the king studies with great interest. "And what's more, is that not only he's an agent of WOOHP and a defender of humanity like us. But he also fought the Paranormal a couple of times." He shows Ben's fights with the Boogyman and Zook. "My liege, what are your orders on this new development?" The king steps forward to reveal a man who is a bit younger than Jerry.
He has some wrinkles with blonde/greying hair that is slightly balding and goes down to his upper back and is combed back and has a matching bread and mustache. He has blue eyes and is wearing a more hi-tech and modern version of the first man's suit, has bits of yellow on it and a black undersuit, and has his symbol in a yellow upside-down triangle. "Find this boy and have him brought to me." The knight bows and heads out as the man keeps staring at the frozen image of a smirking Ben as he narrows his eyes.
Intro:
The screen is black, only for a bolt of green lightning to make 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, show off his new Omnitrix, and then slap 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 electricity waves affecting 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 while 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 its 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 while Ben is 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.
At Beverly Hills, Ben is at home on the couch, dialing and messing with the Omnitrix as he hopes to reunlock Master Control as Clover, who is watching TV, is getting annoyed. "Will you quit messing with that thing? I'm trying to watch and figure out who Jasmine will go out with." "Sorry! I'm trying to figure out how to unlock more aliens or regain Master Control." "Why don't you use Grey Matter's brain to do that?" "Tried that before. Turns out it's hard to hack into the Omnitrix or figure out the codes when the device is stuck on your back with no idea on seeing what you are doing. Besides, I got Master Control once before as a human and I can do it again!"
Just then, Sam came up and stomped in front of the TV. "Okay! Which one of you 2 borrowed my favorite pen!?" "Not me!" "Ditto, Sammy!" "Hey, guys." They glanced over to see Alex come downstairs with a crossword puzzle and chewing a pen. "What's a 5-letter word for a robber?" "THIEF!" "Thanks, Sammy! You're really smart!" Alex smiles, only for Sam to stomp up and swipe her pen. "I can't believe you stole and chewed on my best pen!" "Oops…. Sorry." Alex meekly said as Sam glared down at her with flames for eyes.
"Oh, boy! Can you handle this, Clover? I'm not getting in Sam's anger path, after last time." Ben spoke out as he hid behind the couch while the blonde tried to think of something to calm the redhead down as she shook Alex in rage. Just then, Clover noticed a newspaper with local movie showings and perks in interest at a certain one. "Sammy! You've been cooped up for a while. How about a trip to the movies? My treat!" "No way that will work." Ben scoffs out.
But to the boy's surprise, it works as the girls were now in a PG-13 movie about romance, much to his disgust. "I can't believe that worked. Wonder what Maddie and Normie are up to?" As the boy dials his phone, he is unaware of a blow dart hitting him in the neck, making him go limb as he falls asleep. "Wha…?"
The boy groans as he comes to, lifting himself as he shakes his head off any cobwebs. "Wha…. What happened? My head…" As the boy came to, he noticed that he was in the large room from the beginning, only it was lit by the daylight, revealing a large throne room with tapestries and medieval decorations. "Whoa... Did I go back in time?" "No." He glances back to see more of the armored figures. "You're on time, changeling." Ben looked at them and noticed the symbol, gasping in shock. "The Forever Knights!?" FLASH
"RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Humungousaur roars out as he smashes his fists on the ground, knocking them away. "Listen, tin cans! I don't what you guys are up in this dimension! But you're not getting the watch or conquering the world! Show yourself, Driscoll! I know you and Enoch are involved!" Humungousaur bellows as he kept the knights at bay. But clapping got his attention as the man from before showed up with a small smile. "Impressive, my boy. Surly, a young fighter at heart. Much like I was when I was a lad."
"Who are you?" "I am Sir George of the Forever Knights. The Organization to deal with the Paranormal forces. And we would like to chat, young Benjamin." Humungousaur is tempted to smash down the castle, but after glancing around to see the knights surrounding him, he crosses his arms and mumbles out. "What do you want?" Sir George went to the throne to sit on it as he explains. "We are the Forever Knights, a secret organization that has existed since Medieval times. We were created for—"
"Let me guess: Using stolen alien technology to take over the world? Buddy! I dealt with this stick with Enoch and Driscoll, many times before! I know your game!" But George didn't flinch at the accusation. He just states. "Looks like you dealt with an alternate version of the Forever Knights, Benjamin. You have quite the history in your old world, do you?" "You… Know about that?" Humungousaur was stunned as he timed out.
"Yes… See, your transformations have caught our attention." He snaps his fingers as the knights bring out holo-videos of Ben in action. The boy is stunned at being spied on by one of his greatest foes from his world. "And after some digging, we got the information on you as well. Benjamin Daniel Tennyson. Age 11. Currently live in Beverly Hills, California. Junior Agent of WOOHP. Possess a device called the Omnitrix, which allows the user to transform into hundreds of alien lifeforms by utilizing their stored DNA Samples." Ben got on his guard and activated the watch, twisting the dial, and was about to slap down when George called out. "Stand down, young Ben. We're just here to speak."
The King then displays videos of Ben's battle with Paranormal forces. "You see, unlike the knights you have encountered, our knights have one goal: To prevent and stop the dark forces of the Paranormal and supernatural forces that plague the world and humanity, long ago. And recently, the forces have been awoken, once again. And seeing you combating them made us realize that we might stand a better chance if we have such a gifted young child like you as a knight. In simple terms: How would you like to work for us?"
Ben stood still for a few seconds and snickered a bit before bursting out in laughter, making everyone in the room confused as he kept laughing for a bit before calming down. "Wait! You're serious?" "Of course, the King was serious! Why would you not trust Humanity's greatest saviors?" A knight asked out to the boy.
Ben thought about it. "Let's see…. With my Forever Knights: I was almost sliced and diced as Grey Matter for experiments. Got thrown down a pit when I was trying to prevent them from gaining a powerful sword that would have brought the world to its knees. Getting blasted at when they used robots to replace the president to control the country. Almost got smashed into a pizza when their leader used a giant battle bot on me. Lured me to sleep to steal my watch. And their king stole a powerful energy source and recruited a bunch of my old enemies to take out me and my family! You see why I don't trust the Forever Knights, not in a million years?" The kid finished with crossed arms and a frown.
George sees that this boy can't trust him or his man and has no interest in joining him. Just then, a Knight came up and whispered something in his ear, making him smile at the development. "Maybe there's a way to prove our trust after all." He snaps his fingers as a knight displays a hologram of a map. "We have just received reports about a strange disappearance of a man in the Nevada Desert along with reports of a falling object of unknown origin. We believe that this task is best suited for you, Mr. Tennyson." One of the knights gave the boy a disc as he raised an eyebrow. "We want you to check it out and report to us anything suspicious." He then pushes a button on the throne, making a portal appear beneath the boy's feet. He falls through screaming as George smiles.
The 11-year-old grunts as he falls on his behind on a sandy desert, dusting himself as he glances at the closing portal. "Great! Sumo Slammers don't exist in this universe, but the Forever Knights do?! Just great! Still, who was that George guy? Never seen him before with my old Forever Knights." He then looks around to see he's in a small motel area with nothing around but sand and rock for miles. "Looks deserted."
"Excuse me, young man?" He glances back at a teenage waitress walking up to him. "What are you doing out here?" "It's complicated. But I heard that you might have some weird things going on." "Yes! How do you know?" Ben smirks and flashes his badge. "Junior Agent of WOOHP, Ben Tennyson! Here for all your mystery-solving needs!" The girl raises an eyebrow at the boy.
The 2 walk off as Sadie, the waitress, explains. "I heard a horrifying buzzing noise and heard my father scream. I went outside and he was gone. Vanished!" "Uhh… by 'vanished', do you mean to wander off into the desert or just disappear out of the blue from the spot he was?" "Let me show you…. Here!" She gestures to some footprints that disappeared at a spot, making the boy gaze at them in curiosity.
"Weird… just vanished at this spot. Ohh! Now I get it." Just then, a car horn got Sadie's attention. "I better get back to work. With my dad gone, it's just me running the place." She left as Ben investigated the area. "Now what am I looking for?" Just then, his Omnitrix starts beeping weirdly as he glances at it. "What is it, now?!" He notices as he moves away, the beeping tones down, but it gets faster as he moves in a certain direction.
Just then, the boy gasped at a crater. "Guess I now know what the Knights meant by 'strange object falling from the sky'. Must be a small meteor or spaceship that was here." Just then, the watch starts going wild at a certain spot, making the child dig through and find a small green rock that is glowing. "This must be why the watch is wigging out! But what is it?" Ben took out his phone and decided to call WOOHP.
As the kid waits, Jerry picks up. "Hello?" "Hey, Jer! Listen: I know this may be weird on where I'm calling from, but—" "No time for that, Benjamin. The girls are currently on a mission investigating a rash of disappearances and I'm just about to call them with the results of their clues. I'm afraid this is a girl's only mission. So, ta-ta for now." "No! Jerry! You don't-" The call ends as Ben sighs out, deciding to try Sam, Clover, Alex, and Normie's numbers, but he gets nothing but voice mail.
He then had one last shot with Madison. "Hey! Maddie! I need your help with—" "Sorry, Ms. Madison can't answer the phone. She has a piano lesson right now. Call back in a few hours." Ben checks the date and realizes it's that one time of the week Maddie plays piano. "Aw, man! Forgot about those stupid lessons! Now what am I going to do?!" Just then, Ben felt something in his pocket and got out the disc from the knights. At first, the boy is not on board with calling them, but as he gazes at the glowing rock, and notices some slime on his feet, finding another clue, the boy groans out. "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
He activates it as it displays a hologram of a knight. "Yes?" "Hey. Listen, it's me: Ben. I'm at the Nevada Desert and I came up on a couple of things that… Gahh…" He facepalms himself as pulls his skull cap forward in anger and grits out with annoyance. "I need your help with." "Very well. Hold the Disc above the substance and it will scan for you." The boy did that as a beam shot at the slime and scanned it, displaying results to the knight. "Well, the origin of the goo sample is unknown, but the energy it contains is powerful, making it radioactive at best."
"Okay… Radioactive slime. That's a new one for me. But what about this weird rock?" He holds it out as the disc takes it and stores itself. "We'll bring it back for further analysis. Until then, remain posted where you are, squire Tennyson." The holograms shut off as the disc flew away. "WAIT! Squire?! I didn't say I was going to join you losers!" Ben kicks the ground in irritation as he notices night has fallen. "Guess I'll argue with them in the morning."
Later at a rented room, Ben slept in his clothes. The boy kept sleeping until a light came from the blinds, making him grimace as he turned away. Just then a buzzing sound caught his ear as he groggily woke up. "Uggg… I bet one of the other guests snores like a chainsaw. Man, can't even get any sleep over this buzzing." Just then, his eyes shot open at the sound. "Wait…. Buzzing… Didn't Sadie say something about buzzing noises?" "They're back!" Sadie cries from outside as Ben rushes out the door, slapping down on the watch and turning into Swampfire.
"All right! Time to shed some light out here!" He ignites his flames, providing some light as a giant, ugly bug thing is revealed hissing at the alien. "Whoa! The bugs out here are really big! Guess Animo's up to his old tricks, already!" Nevertheless, Swampfire chucks some fireballs at the monster, which quickly dodges and tries to tackle him, but the alien rockets himself over with his flames.
He then grabs and throws some seeds at the ground and expels his gas on them, using his plant-controlling abilities to produce some vines to ensnare the bug, as it struggles to fly away. Swampfire then leaps up, punches it twice, and kicks it away, sending the bug flying away in pain as he cries out. "Yeah! You better run!"
The moon shines over the desert sky as Sadie is driving a truck through the desert with Ben in the passenger seat. "We've been driving for hours and there's still no sign of that thing!" "Hopefully, I smacked that thing good to slow it down. But it looks like it used the night to get away. But it's around here somewhere, I can feel it in my gut." Ben points out. Just then, the truck broke down and Ben sighed. "Well, guess we're going on foot." The 2 left the truck as they walked forward on the road, keeping their eyes peeled when a disc showed up out of nowhere, startling them. "GAAHHH!" "AAHHH!"
The Disc displayed the Knight from before. "Greetings, Squire Tennyson. I have returned with information about the rock you sent. It's part of a meteorite that comes from the Andromeda Galaxy. Our sensors recorded a small crash in the Nevada Desert, just a couple of days ago." Ben spoke out. "So, that was what is in that crater I found! And the reason my watch was wigging out before when I got close to it." "Indeed. Forever Knights, out!" The Disc flies away as Ben ponders. "But what does that weird bug I fought have anything to do with this space rock or why Sadie's dad is missing?" As the boy ponders, Sadie notices something. "Gross! What is that?" Ben looks to see a trail of slime. "It's the same slime from before." He gazes at it as he speaks out. "Follow the goo prints!"
The duo eventually came across a mining area that was long abandoned as they went up to a shaft, covered in a goo web. "Looks like we're on the right track. Whatever took your dad, went through here." "Whatever is inside, doesn't want us to come in." Not a problem!" Ben grins out as he clicks his watch and slaps down after dialing. FLASH
Ben's body got covered in rocks as it spins and sparks electricity into Shock Rock's chest armor and head as his eyes flashed green. Then his shoulder pads formed and in a burst of rocks, his arms and legs sprang out, punching the 4th wall.
"Stand back!" Shock Rock forms a sword and slices through the webs, making a pathway. "And in we go…" The 2 went in as Shock Rock lit the tunnel with his energy body. The 2 kept walking as they gazed around as the alien spoke out. "Looks like an old, abandoned mine shaft. Whatever took your father, chose the perfect place to hide out. Hey…" Shock Rock wipes some goo off to see a fossil of an insect. But not just any bug. "Hey! It's those bug things that I fought before! And look… more." He shows more fossils as he speaks out. "Looks like this mine is swimming in fossils."
"This is too creepy. Let's keep moving." Sadie spoke out as they continued. But just then, they heard buzzing coming down further as the 2 stopped and noticed. "That same buzzing noise!" "Yeah…." A whole swarm of giant bugs flew after them, but Shock Rock quickly made an electrical wall to block them off. "Come on!" He cries out as they both run the other way, but Sadie is ambushed by a few hidden ones as she screams. "Lost them! Sadie, are you okay? Sadie?" Shock Rock looked around as he heard the scream. "Oh, man!"
Ben walks down the tunnels with his Phone light on, noticing something caked in goo as he examines it. "Sadie's name tag. She was here." He follows the trail down as the 11-year-old keeps his eyes open for any of those bug monsters. Only to come across a sight! He is in a chamber-like area with a glowing rock in the center, making him get up close as he examines it. "This must be the meteor the Knight told me about! Guess the bugs brought it here. But why would they want it?" Just then, some slime drips before him, making him glance up at a bunch of cocoons, hanging above him. "Whoa…. Human-sized cocoons! Like in the movies!" He then noticed the fossils as his mind put the pieces together.
"Fossils! And an alien energy rock from a different galaxy. Let's see if these 2 are connected." Ben opens the Legendex App and starts searching. "Hey! Here they are! These fossils are the remains of an insect alien race that came to Earth from space, about 200,000 years ago. Although they are now extinct, they used to reproduce by a deadly, acid-spitting queen. This is weird. The bugs I saw are about as big as a human, but it says there they were only about the size of a fist, back then. I don't get it! How did they revive and how did they get so big?" Ben ponders as he stores his phone away.
Just then, a sound got his attention as he glanced back at one of the cocoons, noticing that it was slightly moving as gooey sounds could be heard. As the child was pondering at the sight, the cocoon started expelling slime as it cracked open on its own, spitting out a human male, covered in gunk.
The man notices the child as he asks out. "Where am I? Who are you?" "Don't worry! I'm sent here to help! Your daughter called about you and how you disappeared." "Thank you. I remember a horrible buzzing noise, and everything went black. What about Sadie? Is she okay?" "Yeah… Until the bugs napped her too! And these cocoons are here for one reason: Food for the insects. We got to find Sadie! Help me tear these things open!" The 2 went to work, ripping open cocoons, only to find most were empty.
Luckily, they managed to find Sadie as she came too. "Wha… What happened?" "Sadie?" "Daddy!" They both hugged in a reunion of father and daughter, only for more buzzing to interrupt the moment! "It's those things! They're coming this way!" She cries out. "Not on my watch!" Ben declares as he slaps down on the Omnitrix, with Gravattack's icon on it. FLASH "Let's have a little privacy!" The alien planetoid hero then made the rocks above the doorway heavier, making it collapse and seal the tunnel.
"There! That'll buy us some time." "Look! The rock!" Sadie cried out as they all glanced at the meteorite, now oozing green slime as it spread to some fossils, making them glow as they grew and be reborn into alien bugs as Gravattack figured it out. "That's it! That meteor's slime must be reviving and super-sizing the bug fossils!" "We got to get out of here!" Sadie's father cries out. The new swarm of alien insects flew up and fired stingers at them, making the alien hero block with his forearms and force them back with a gravity push. He then chucks a bunch of rocks at the bugs and runs with the 2 humans, only to slide to a stop as a humongous bug blocks their way!
"Uhh... I guess you're the queen?" Gravattack got a roar in response as they were surrounded, but he lifted the Queen and tossed her at her subjects, making him step on a puddle of water. "Water? In a cave?" "Probably an underground spring. They're all over the place in these parts." Sadie mentions out. Just then, the alien got an idea! "That's it! Flood the place!" He grabs the 2 humans and places them on top of his head as he smashes a metal pipe with his fist, making a torrent of water burst out!
The alien shifts into planet mode and races for the entrance, while a wave of water chases after him. "Hang on!" He cries to the screaming people as they barely make it out, going humanoid. "Made it out! And those freak flies are all washed up." Just then, a noise got their attention as they were surprised by the queen, who survived and was ticked off! Gravattack quickly lifts her and slams her on the ground, pinning the beast as Sadie and her father hide behind some rocks. "Time to squash this overgrown pest for good!" But as he prepares a fist, he unfortunately timed out. "Oh, man! You couldn't have waited a few more minutes?!" Ben then notices the monster getting up and glaring down at him as he smiles weakly. "Uhh... You're not upset about that whole 'flooding your place', are you?"
Ben quickly leaps out of the way of some acid droll as he sees in surprise at the melted mine cart. "I'll take that as a big yes!" He and the others scream as they run from the angry queen as they go up a ledge. Ben looks back and notices the meteor, making a slime trail that is connected to the queen. "That meteor caused all of this! The Queen is using it like a battery. Which means, I need to destroy it! HEY! Over here!" Ben cries out as the Queen roars and gives chase. Ben ran as fast as he could away from the monster, dodging some acid spit as he got an idea. "Acid! That's it!"
He then came to a stop at a large pipe and cried out. "Hey, bug eyes! Catch me if you can!" He slides down as the Queen spits out a wave of acid, making the boy cry out as he reaches the bottom, quickly gets away as the acid washes down next, covering and melting the space rock into nothing as the effects were instant! The Queen then roars out as she shrinks down, reducing to a small state as Ben stands over it with crossed arms. "Well, looks like you won't be bugging anyone again!"
Morning came as Ben was back at the Forever Knight's castle as George spoke to him. "Well done, Benjamin! We managed to secure a few samples for research purposes and to make sure they didn't escape and capture the queen." Ben got an annoyed, embarrassed look as he glanced away and crossed his arms as he sighed. "I'm…. Sorry for how I acted. And you guys…. Did…. A good job."
"See? Now was that so hard?" Ben stretches his cap over and snaps it back in annoyance. "I look forward to any future missions with you, Mr. Tennyson. Oh! And one more thing: I suggest keeping this interaction with us private. The less one knows, the better. Well goodbye for now." Sir George then portals Ben back home as the Knights all share glances with each other.
Ben walks through the door after a long day. "What a day…." He notices that it's quiet and he assumes the girls are asleep. "Maybe I was wrong about the Forever Knights? Maybe they are trying to be good guys, after all." He went to get a cup of water as he noticed Alex was there getting one as well. "Hey, Ben. Getting water." "You too, huh? Hey, Alex. I want to know. Do you want to go on the next Paranormal case with me?" "Huh?" The girl was confused as Ben spoke out. "You know? Supernatural? Like the weird stuff that's happening lately that I told you about?" "What are you talking about? Paranormal stuff is just in the movie and TV, much to my disappointment. Maybe you need some sleep. Good night!" Ben was confused about why his sister, the first person he told him about his first encounter with the Boogeyman, didn't believe him. "Weird…"
As the boy gets his PJs on, he decides to call WOOHP as Jerry appears, about to leave. "Yes? Can you hurry, Ben? I'm just about to turn in for the night." "It's just quick, Jerry. Do you know anything about the new WOOHP Paranormal unit?" "That is ridiculous! What I assure you is that we don't have such a team." "Yes, you do! Me, Normie, and Maddie are it! We captured the Boogeyman and defeated Zook the Dragon! Look it up on the files!" Jerry did some searching and answers. "I'm sorry, but there are no such mission files, nor have you captured this so-called 'Boogeyman'. Now, if you excuse me, I need to get some sleep. Good night."
"First Alex didn't believe me, then Jerry said there was no such thing as the new Paranormal unit and now the Boogeyman is not locked up in WOOHP? What's going on?" Ben wonders as he remembers all this stuff, yet Sam, Clover, Alex, and Jerry don't. And more importantly, where is the Boogeyman, if he isn't locked in WOOHP's prison? Then he remembers the Forever Knights as Ben starts wondering about something. Are they changing their ways, or do they have something hidden up their sleeves?
Back at the castle, The Boogeyman pounds at his energy cell as he tries to escape while the Knights push him away as Sir George watches. Just then, his 2nd in command, Sir Cyrus approaches him and reports. "My lord, the deed has been done. We managed to erase all traces of Paranormal activity from WOOHP Databanks and erased the memories of Jerry and those girls, involving said events. "Good work, Sir Cyrus. We only need the shapeshifter and his 2 young friends on our side. Like I said, the less people know, the better." Sir George walks over to a computer and types on it.
"But what I want to know is why do you let that child join the Knights? He is weary of us. And the thought of having an alien as a member of the Knights repulses me!" "Now, now. Cyrus. The boy has proven to be much worth than he is. After all, he is the key to finding the alien who has taken Ascalon. Besides, my vast immortal life, cursed upon me by the off-worlders, long ago taught me so much. There's an old saying: 'Keep your friends close. And you enemies closer.'" They both gaze at a picture of an old Galvin. But it wasn't any Galvin: It was a picture of Azmuth, the inventor of the Omnitrix.
Meanwhile, in another hidden location, a woman is working on some holo-screens when she gets a call and answers. "Report, agent Mystery." "It's so weird, MOM. We arrived at the desert where you said. But when we got there, the man that was supposed to disappear was now back with his daughter, and was totally fine! And the 'object' that fell crashed, is gone! It looked like someone, somehow beat us to it! But the weird thing is, those 2 had no memory of any weird things happening." "Hmm... In that case, come on back to Torrington. I'll send some agents to run a more detailed investigation." "Got it!"
The call ends as the woman folds his hands in front as she leans into them. "First, England, then Boston, and now this. Somehow, someone is hijacking our cases, and I want to find out it is. One way or another." The woman frowns as she brings up several screens of Ben's aliens as she frowns. "And something tells me that these aliens, who somehow got past our sensors, are the key."
