(Hello everyone. I'm back with my newest installment. I hope you enjoy.)
In a long gray tunnel, Albert Jefferson was escorting his grandchildren, Clyde, R.A, Sid, Stella, Rusty, Liam, and Zach down it.
Lincoln turned to the viewers, "Pop-pop is taking us to see the Plumber's newest HQ. Ever since the Stingers appeared he's made some calls to some Plumbers off world to help him establish this new base."
"We appreciate you letting us come to the Plumber's new base, Pop-pop." Lori said.
"My pleasure, kids," Albert answered, "Especially since we got some new members of the team here." he motioned to Lincoln's friends who smiled.
"If we had a base like this years ago we could've been better prepared." Lana said.
"Well, these Stingers are unlike the others we've faced so we need all hands on deck at this point." Albert said, as they came to a door that opened up.
They walked inside and looked around in surprise. There was a large center town in the middle of the room that was composed of several levels, with long bridges connecting to various other tunnels and rooms in the base. Walking around were several humans and alien species wearing Plumber's uniforms.
"Welcome, kids, to Plumber's HQ." Albert declared.
"Wow!" the group gasped.
"It's a complex I could only dream of." Lisa marveled in joy.
"Oh, my gosh, look at all the different aliens around here!" Sid started getting excited.
"Where'd they all come from?" Leni asked.
"Well, Leni, when a mommy alien and a daddy alien..." Luan began only to get nudged by Lori who spoke up.
"What she means is, how long have they been part of the Plumber's society?"
"For quite some time, actually," Albert began, as they walked, "Some of these aliens are actually descendants of former Plumbers who're retired or passed away. Some of them are also old friends of mine."
"So how come there are humans too?" Lincoln looked around seeing adult aged humans.
"Yeah, these don't look like any of your old buds from your days." Lynn noticed.
"Actually these are trained operatives from the government sent to help us. Until we can get started on the Plumber's academy to train new recruits."
"Well, top of the morning to you, Albert." came a voice that sounded like Don Knotts.
The group looked over and saw an anthro fish man wearing a plumbers suit and miniscule glasses. He had gray skin, purple eyes, and an antenna on his head and gills.
"Patelliday, how're you doing you old fish?" Albert joked as the two hugged it out.
"Well, I'm not dead just like you." the fish man laughed with Albert, as the kids looked oddly.
"A walking fish?" Ronnie Anne asked in surprise.
Patelliday noticed the kids, "Ah, I see you brought guests with you."
"Sure did. Kids, this is Magister Patelliday, my old comrade from back in my younger days. And my current second in command," Albert began introductions, "Patelliday these are my grandkids, Lori, Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lincoln, Lucy, Lola, Lana, Lisa, and Lily. And some of my grandson's friends, Clyde, Ronnie Anne, Sid, Stella, Liam, Zach, and Rusty."
"It's a pleasure to meet you kids, especially you young Mr. Loud." he spoke to Lincoln.
"So you heard of me?" Lincoln asked sheepishly.
"Ya darn right! Albert's gone on and on about what he and you kids had been up to years ago," Patelliday looked to the watch, "You and the Omnitrix have been doing some real good here on earth. Especially taking on the likes of Vilgax."
"Hero's got to do what a hero's got to do." Lincoln shrugged.
"So what kind of alien are you Magister?" Clyde asked Patteliday
"I'm a Piscciss Volann. And where I come from it's made up entirely of water. We can't stay out on dry land forever and need to stay hydrated."
"Like a regular fish." Lisa noted.
"So how come you can breathe out of water?" Stella inquired.
"My Plumbers suit keeps my hydrated."
"Fascinating." Lisa took notes.
"You said you're called Magister," Liam noted, "What does that even mean?"
Albert answered, "Magister is the highest ranking here."
"It also is a title or form of address given to scholars, especially those qualified to teach in a medieval university." Lisa put in.
"So then Pop-pop, would you happen to be..." Lucy started.
"Yes. Around here folks address me as Magister Jefferson."
"Awesome!" Lynn cheered.
"Come on, we'll give you kids a grand tour." Patelliday said, as the two Magisters showed the group around.
They started walking around the base with both adults pointing places out, "That rooms where we hold our meetings to discuss Plumbers business from dealing with invading threats to making negotiations with another species." Albert began.
"Lame, who wants to deal with business?" Lynn asked rhetorically.
"Depends on what kind of business." Luan joked, and the group rolled their eyes.
They stopped before a viewing window and saw several Plumbers using assigned weapons and equipment against moving targets and robot drones.
"This here's the training room," Patelliday explained, "We need to be at the peak of our strength, so we come here to hone our skills and exercise."
"Awesome." Lincoln gasped.
"I'll say." Ronnie Anne agreed.
"The training room also comes with several training grounds for various types of aliens." Albert added.
The group looked and saw several terrains established for a particular alien to train in, "Amazing. I can use this room to train using any of my aliens." Lincoln said.
"Moving on." Albert said, as they pressed on.
They stopped inside a lounge area with a wide screen plasma TV and surround sound, arcade games, table hockey, and pool table.
"Sweet!" Lynn and Lincoln gasped.
"Welcome to the Rec room," Albert showed them, "Anyone with free time and come here to relax and take a load off."
"Just don't get too comfortable in here," Patelliday warned them, "When duty calls you must answer it."
"No matter how tempted you are to not leave this place." Albert finished.
"This place is pretty tempting." Stella admitted.
"Yeah. My cousin Carl sure wouldn't wanna leave this place." Ronnie Anne added.
They stopped by another room seeing Galvan and Human scientists working on devices and weapons, "This is where our scientists create weapons and other handy devices for us to use." Albert told them.
Lisa looked through the window seeing all the science equipment set up, and all the many kinds of weapons and gadgets being field tested, "Now this is my kinda surrounding."
"We're always coming up with the best advancements in technologies to help us in our fights against any rogue outlaws." Patelliday explained.
"I may have to keep some of this tech on hand if the Omnitrix is in recharge." Lincoln told himself.
"Or the rest of us." Zach put in.
Later on, the Magisters led the into a cafeteria, "And this here is the cafeteria," Patelliday explained, "After a long day of work, you can come here to fill your bellies."
"Our kitchen staff are experts in whipping up food from all across the galaxy to satisfy the diets of any alien species." Albert added, as the group saw several aliens carrying trays of bizarre looking substances. To the kids they looked disgusting, but to the aliens carrying them it looked like a feast.
"We should look into giving the chef here dads cookbook," Lincoln suggested, "I'm sure some of the Plumbers here would like to sample his cooking." his sisters started agreeing.
Soon the group were all seated at a table enjoying lunch. Majority of them were eating regular food, while Lana was trying out several delicacies from across the galaxy. This of course got several of her siblings disgusted.
"Lana, how can you eat that stuff?" Lori asked in disbelief.
"It's actually not all that bad," Lana admitted, "You guys have got to try the Raw Merusian meat, Ovuuan doughnuts, and sweet and sour Viffurisioids."
"I think I'm going to vomit." Rusty gagged.
"Is there anything you wouldn't eat?" Lincoln asked Lana.
"Well, some told me not to try the Jovoxian Cake. They say they like to bite you back." Lana answered.
"Yikes." Lincoln and Clyde gasped.
"But this is good, you know?" Stella asked, "Now there's someplace to go where there's top security and no one would dare to try and find Lincoln or any of us."
"I know," Lincoln agreed, "This could also be a good safe house in case our families or any of you guys need to be protected."
"Come on, dudes, gather 'em up." Luna said as they grabbed their drinks.
"To Plumbers HQ." Lincoln began.
"Plumbers HQ" the group toasted, before enjoying the rest of their grub.
That night in a field outside Royal Woods all looked calm until the wind started picking up and then a portal opened and out came four silhouette's. Two of them looked like normal teenagers, a boy and a girl. The other two appeared to be monstrous.
"Yes, the portal worked." one of the monster looking beings said with excitement.
"So this is the place?" The teenage boy asked him.
"The coordinates confirm it all."
"Well, for once you didn't mess up." the teenage girl replied snidely.
"How dare you!"
"Enough!" the lead monster stopped them, "We're here and that's what matters. Now come along, our new partner is waiting for us in that town up ahead."
They saw the sign, "Royal Woods?" the teenagers asked.
"Yes. Now let's move." the four took off.
Meanwhile on the opposite side of the field far from it on a cliff side appeared another portal, and out came four teenagers and one creature that looked robotic.
"This is?" one of the teens who was a boy asked another boy who checked a tracker.
"Correct. This is the right dimension."
"Well that's the easy part." a girl teen answered.
"Now comes the hard part." Another teen boy added.
"That's right. We better hurry and fast." the robot said.
"Let's hope we're not too late." the group followed the tracker signal.
(And there you go. The Loud kids and Lincoln's friends got to see the Plumbers newest HQ and know where to go if something becomes too much for Lincoln or any of them to handle. This last scene is part of the next two parter which will feature some special guests. Who are they, find out next time.)
