Chapter 2 Team bonding
Angry Luigi groaned, looking at Luke as Luke hissed.
"And Luke's mad again…" Angry Luigi thought.
"You missed my show!" Luke says.
"Okay, I see you're upset and you need to calm down." Angry Luigi says as Luke shot lightning at Angry Luigi, who leaped over as he landed and rushed off. Luke rushed after him as they look at each other and shoot lightning at each other as Luke tries to punch Angry Luigi, who hits him with an uppercut.
"No one will attend my birthdays!" Luke hissed as he shot flames.
Angry Luigi dodged as he leaped around and looked at Luke and rushed off as Luke rushed towards Angry Luigi and teleports and punched Angry Luigi.
Meanwhile, Nic and Yellow were listening to some music together.
"And I wish that we could be close." Nic sang.
"Close enough to use our real name for once." Yellow sang.
"And you could say to me, oh I love you so, duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh, oh yeah!" Nic sang.
"You know, Struck By The Rain is such a banger." Yellow pointed out.
"Agreed, though Lonely Storm is definitely more energetic." Nic nodded.
"Agreed." Yellow agreed.
Meanwhile, Angry Luigi was nervous as he slid on some crystals. Luke shot ice at Angry Luigi who leaped up and smirked as he hits his Omnitrix
Angry Luigi smirked as electricity roamed around him before rocks climbed up his body as Shock Rock strikes a pose.
Shock Rock shot lightning at Luke, who dove in and kicked Shock Rock, sending him back.
Meanwhile
Savannah finds Nic and Yellow " Wanna come to my place?" Savannah asked
"Yeah, sure." Nic nodded.
"Why not?" Yellow agreed.
"Sweet!" Savannah says and leads them to her place but there was a news report.
"Ignore." Savannah says, kind of tired and wanted to have some fun. She shows them her house. It was a nice place, not too big.
"Okay, what do you wanna eat or drink?" Savannah asked
"Anything is good as long as it's not spicy." Nic says.
"Yeah, spicy food really sets off Nic's sensory issues, and I don't find it as unbearable, but I don't really find the taste that appealing." Yellow explained.
"Okay!" Savannah says and makes some nachos.
"Ooh, nice! Nachos are nacho problem." Yellow smiles.
"That was a terrible pun, even worse than mine, but I have to agree." Nic nods.
Savannah giggled. "So you two seem like good singers, you should totally join America's Next Hitmaker." Savannah says with a grin as she gets out some Sprite and serves it to them.
"Thank you, and honestly, I don't think I could, since I get really bad anxiety." Nic says.
"Awww, you really seem good at music, though." Savannah says.
"Yeah, there's this thing called Rhythm Paradise and there are some banger tunes from it that us and our friends love to sing to." Nic explained.
"Especially the song called Beautiful One Day, which can be linked to being trans, specifically transfemme." Yellow continued.
Meanwhile
Angry Luigi timed out and looked. "Hey, cake!" Angry Luigi says as he leaped and stomped on Luke and does a stunt as he landed and rushed off. Luke hissed and sees he was gone.
Angry Luigi arrived home getting pied in the face as Alem tuber laughed. Emma looks annoyed as she wanted to eat the pie.
The next day a villain named Chester Chapman was seen stealing some weapons as police came in. "Hey, what is that?" One officer asked.
"Gasp! You fiendish mortals have arrived, no matter! I'm a strong guy, so I can definitely take you all down!" Chester arrogantly laughed.
The police shot away at him
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Chester groaned, soon taking out several giant pawn chess pieces and protecting himself with them.
The Venge-raiders hear this on the news.
"Wait, who's the leader?" Bill asked.
"I am." Ben Jr. says.
"No offense, but I don't really trust someone as shabby looking as you to do it." Yellow pointed out.
"Me!" Alem tuber says.
"Bad idea." Bill says.
"How about Nic? They told me a lot last night." Savannah says.
"Oh, me? Do y'all really have that much trust in me?" Nic blushed.
Angry Luigi shrugged as Savannah gave a thumbs up. "Of course! Now, let's contact our friends." Savannah says as she texted Chrissy, then Emila
"Okay, let's save the day!" Nic says as they begin to head to the crime scene.
Chester looked at a rare sword and just as he was about to grab it, the Venge-Raiders arrived.
"Stop right there, Tetra-bit no man!" Nic exclaimed, transforming into Four Arms.
Angry Luigi turned into XLR8 as Chrissy arrived with Delta
"Sorry we're late. I just woke up from my 6 day nap." Delta says.
Chrissy sees Chester and smirks as she turns into Humongasar. Delta smirked as she speeds towards Chester, using energy knives.
Four Arms leaped towards Chester and punched him in the face.
"Ow! First you're an Anodite, now you're a Teteamand, and now you're being feral!" Chester groaned.
"The only feral thing about this entire situation is the fact that you're acting like a nuisance!" Yellow exclaimed, jumping behind Chester and kicking him in the back.
Delta leaped and slashed Chester with her energy knifes as she grinned.
"Come out, my queen!" Chester exclaimed, taking out a queen chess piece and speeding away on it.
Delta used her speed rushing after Chester as Humongasar follows XLR8 speeds by
"Do you not know what I'm doing this for!" Chester exclaimed. "All this time, I've been playing chess, and whenever people win against me, I know for a fact that they cheat! I know it!"
Soon, Four Arms comes in and blocks Chester off.
Humongasar punched Chester, sending him flying. Delta speeds so fast, she resembles a white blur as she leaped and kicked him in the back as Chester landed.
"What next, you're going to use a knight?" Delta asked as Alem tuber punched his fists.
Ben jr turned into Diamondhead and shot crystals.
"Nope! I'm…" Chester says as he scrambles through his chess pieces, though there were only a few there. "Dang it, I must've dropped them as I was speeding through…" Chester mumbled.
Bill tossed a lasso at Chester
Four Arms switched to Spidermonkey and tied Chester's mouth shut.
"Thank golly gosh, his voice was getting so annoying." Spidermonkey said, then reverting back to Nic.
The others reverted as a helicopter picked Chester up and flew off with him.
"That's Mr. and Mrs. Clusterfield's helicopter." Bill says.
"No problem, we can handle them." Alem tuber says as the teens laugh, not taking this seriously.
"Can you take this seriously?" Lori asked.
"Why should they? They're clowns." Ben Jr. says.
"Oh, yeah." Alem tuber says, annoyed.
"Enough!" Nic says, soon noticing that when Chester was being taken away by the helicopter, he dropped the weapons he stole. "We should return these to where they came from."
"We should go after them." Ben Jr. says.
"Why not do both?" Yellow rhetorically asked, transforming into Ditto and splitting into two.
"Okay, you guys return the weapons and we'll stop Chester." Ben Jr. says as he and Lori run off.
"We've handled them a lot. We'll return the weapons, then maybe help them but honestly they're just a villain of the week" Bill says as Alex and Jack laugh, not taking this seriously.
Angry Luigi looked a bit nervous.
They soon return the weapons.
Meanwhile
"That was impressive." Mrs. Clusterfield says to Chester.
"Mm fmm ym." Chester's voice was muffled, due to the webbing that was still around his mouth.
Mr. Clusterfield removed it.
"Much better, now as I was saying, why thank you." Chester thanked.
"You are welcome. How would you like to help us destroy those Venge-Raiders, especially Alem tuber?" Mrs. Clusterfield says.
"Ooh ho ho… Yes please." Chester smirked deviously.
Just then Ben jr and Lori came in
"Stop right there!" Lori says.
"Who are you" Mrs. Clusterfield asked holding syringes.
"The ones who will kill you!" Lori says as Ben Jr turned into Four Arms and punched Chester.
"Ow! A male punching another male? How fiendishly fiendish of you!" Chester complained, punching Four Arms.
Mrs. Clusterfield shot the syringes at them, putting them to sleep.
"Come, we'll make them be used as bait. Their friends will attempt a rescue." Mr. Clusterfield says.
Meanwhile
"Nic, should we find Lori and Ben Jr.?" Yellow asked.
"Yeah, I suppose." Nic shrugged.
"I sup-pose, ah!" Yellow joked around, referencing something.
"My, my, you are one funky monkey today, aren't you?" Nic chuckled.
"Only the funkiest around!" Yellow laughed.
"Since this is Chester, Lori and Ben Jr. will be A-hand." Jack joked.
"Yeah, depending on how cocky they are, we would hopefully expect something that doesn't have to do with us giving them a round of applause at the end." Nic jokes.
"That'd be superb." Yellow nodded.
They soon arrive at their base as they crashed through the window
"Epic landing!" Alem tuber says and fist bumped Jack as Alex high-fived them.
Suddenly multiple drones rose up surrounding the Venge-raiders
"Hello, heroes!" Mr. Clusterfield says as Chester smirks.
"Hey, Chestie!" Delta teased.
"Oi! Only my father is allowed to call me that!" Chester exclaimed, throwing a Knight chess piece at Delta. Delta smirked and kicked it away.
Mr Clusterfield pressed a button as missiles were heading for Ben Jr. and Lori, who were chained up.
Bill gasped.
Alem tuber leaped and unchained them
"You're welcome." Alem tuber says as Delta speeds towards Chester. Ben Jr. glared as Chester punched Ben Jr.
Lori dodged Mrs. Clusterfield's attacks as she took out laser guns and shot lasers.
"Hey, Mrs Clusterfield, over here!" Chrissy teased playfully as Mrs. Clusterfield shot lasers at her as she dodged.
Ben jr glared as Chester punched him aside as Alem tuber kicked Chester then Nic and Yellow came up
"Looks like it's time for the ultimate showdown!" Nic exclaimed, going into their Ultimate forms, looking part Evolved Necrofriggian, and shot ice fire at Chester.
Chrissy smirked. "Heh, things are getting cool!" Chrissy joked as she dodged more lasers.
"Ice suppose you're correct." Nic jokes, soon punching Chester in the chest and soon cluster punching him while shouting, "Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!"
Chester used a rook piece on Nic.
"You're not gonna go down so easily, huh?" Nic smirked, summoning a purple energy that only Nic and Yellow could see. "Countdown for the beating train! 3… 2… 1!"
Then Nic sent a powerful punch to Chester's face, sending him back.
Angry Luigi rushed dodging missiles as Alem tuber kicked Mr. Clusterfield. Chrissy kicked Mrs. Clusterfield as they were sent down as they high-fived.
"Okay, let's lock them up!" Ben Jr. says.
"Relax, we haven't done our banter." Alex says as drones flew in shooting missiles.
Delta leaped and dodged them all and shot a purple energy blast, causing an explosion.
"We'll be escaping!" Mr Clusterfeild says to Chester
"Well ve… Be sure… to steak you… take you out… Sometime!" Chester said, though incoherent, due the blow to the head, escaping with the Clusterfields.
"They're getting away!" Lori says as Bill sets up a bomb to blow the place up.
Ben Jr. and Lori go ahead but it was too late the villains had escaped as the base blew up.
Later, they arrive at Plumber hq "What was that? You fools can't do anything right!" Ben Jr. says to them.
"We saved your butts!" Alem tuber smirked as Emma and Amber came. Ben Jr. got mad.
"Hi!" Emma says, not knowing who Nic or Ben Jr. were.
Ben Jr. smiles and shakes Emma's hand. "Hi, I am Ben Jr., oldest son of Ben and half brother of Kenny." He said, looking at Amber. Both her and Ben Jr.had issues due to their heritage.
Amber had never met Ben Jr. and feels bad for him.
"Ah the Plumbers Headquarters, a sense of familiarity." Yellow stretched.
"Yep." Bill says as Emma giggled.
"Okay, what happened?" Amber asked.
"We saved the day like usual." Alex says.
"Hey, what's your backstory?" Savannah asked Ben Jr., feeling bad for him, Ben Jr. breathes.
"I am the son of the famous Ben Tenison and infamous Villain Charmcaster. I'm hated by many. I look just like my mother, but I am nothing like her." he said.
"That's interesting." Emma says.
"So, Nic, what's the plan to capture Chester?" Lori asked
"I… Maybe we should… Uh…" Nic stuttered, struggling to think of a plan.
"Relax, they won't cause us harm." Delta says, Ben jr looks at Amber and takes to a different room.
"Will you blood attract them? I know you don't want your status as a demi-goddess revealed, but they want power, honey." Ben Jr. said as he kissed Amber's lips. He looks at his lover.
"I'm fine." Amber says and heads to check on her cousins.
"They did abuse me in the past, but hey, what can ya do?" Alem tuber says.
"I got a plan!" Amber says, wiping her lips as she was a bit annoyed. "Bill can hack their location.'' Amber says.
"Now that does sound like a good plan." Lori says, Ben Jr. nods his head in agreement.
"Relax, we've handled them pretty easily, even as kids." Alem tuber says.
"Yeah, I've been a hero for eight years, so… Yeah." Nic spoke up. "I'm fifteen by the way in case any of you were wondering."
Bill began hacking. "And…I got it!" Bill says.
"Adventure time!" Emma squealed.
"No way, too dangerous!" Angry Luigi says as Emma crosses her arms.
"We got this! Now, let's go capture them!" Lori says.
They soon arrive at the lair and sneak around. Some axes nearly hit Lori, but she dodges, then arrows nearly kill Yellow. However, due to being agile, Yellow manages to dodge.
They arrive in the main room as A villain named Duskknight was there
"Meet our new friend, Duskknight!" Mr. Clusterfield says.
"Ha ha ha!" Jack laughed.
"Take this seriously!" Ben Jr. says as Chester glared.
"Round 3!" Chester says as Yellow turned into Feedback.
Lori kicked Duskknight in the face.
"Go, twin machine!" Angry Luigi and alem tuber say, but Emma came and kicked Mr. Clusterfield. Mrs. Clusterfield stretched her arms, grabbing Emma, who screamed.
"Let her go!" Savannah says as Chester punched Feedback.
"How about you get a fist full of pain!" Feedback exclaimed, punching Chester in the face.
"Ow! I still have a concussion, so go easy on me!" Chester complained.
"Never!" Feedback exclaimed, punching Chester in the face again.
Alem tuber kicked Mrs. Clusterfield In the face, freeing Emma as Chrissy turned into Wildvine, wrapping Mrs. Clusterfield in vines.
Mr. Clusterfield shot his hands towards Alem tuber, who grabbed his fists and started swinging him around and around as he was screaming.
"Let me go!!!!" He yelled as Alem tuber tossed him. Angry Luigi hammered him into Chester.
"Thanks for being a pal, Al!" Feedback did a pun.
"I wonder what happened to Luke?" Angry Luigi says as Luke landed as Angry Luigi hid behind Alem tuber.
"You missed my show and didn't let me know about a crime!'' Luke says. Ben Jr turned into a kryptonian ultimate form and began to punch Chester, who got knocked out.
Ben jr looks at the girls. "Are you okay, Amber and Emma?" He asks with worry in his voice.
"Yes, we are." said Emma as Ben Jr. looks for other bad guys.
He rounds them up with help of the team and takes them to plumber HQ, where they're processed.
Everyone went back to base, to talk and hang out.
Soon, Yellow reverted back.
"What is going on?" Luke asked, annoyed.
"Oh, great…Everyone, this is Luke, he's autistic and gets mad easily and he's pretty much a nice guy with a sad story." Bill says.
"So, basically myself, only with a different backstory, gotcha." Nic replied.
Amber eats some cookies. Ben Jr. gives her milk and she takes it. "Thank you, Ben Jr." she said.
"Luke, show these guys what you're good at." Savannah says.
"No! You missed my show!" Luke says and cries.
"Okay, so he never actually gets a good birthday due to bad things always happening." Savannah says.
Yellow then walked up to Luke.
"Hello, there, I'm Yellow, and my pronouns are They/Them and It/Its." Yellow introduced themself.
Ben jr shakes in fear of being judged, as he stays quiet.
"I know! We can give Luke a party! That normally cheers him up." Savannah says.
"His birthday is in a couple of months." Bill says.
"We need to train to get stronger! Who wants to face me?" Delta asked.
"I'll knock you down to the ground!" Alem tuber says as they get in a fight cloud.
The others plan Luke's party, though Nic and Yellow trained outside in the way that they'd usually train, listening to Karate Man songs from Rhythm Paradise while kicking and punching things that were thrown at them.
Amber was helping Emma with magic as Savannah thinks of a gift. Ben Jr shows up and helps Emma with magic, too.
"She needs to protect herself." he tells Amber, nodding his head in agreement.
Outside, Nic and Yellow were punching along to the song "Lonely Storm".
"Punch punch punch, pow!" Nic exclaimed.
Ben Jr. shows Emma how to fire a fireball at a target dummy. Emma fires one and learns fast.
Angry Luigi sighed as it was dark.
Bill thinks of a new plane as Emma yawns.
Amber picks her up, takes her to bed and Ben Jr. helps her.
Savannah heads off.
Amber thinks of her past and remembers a past adventure that they barely survived.
"That was crazy." Amber says.
Soon, Nic and Yellow finished off their training session.
Savannah finds them. "Please help me. Luke needs a party. He has major depression." Savannah says.
"Will the party be loud?" Nic asks Savannah.
"Kinda…" Savannah says.
"Well, I have autism, so I have trouble in loud places." Nic says, though regretting it.
"And I have sensory processing disorder, and part of it involves being sensitive to loud noises." Yellow says, their voice also filled with regret.
"It has to be perfect." Savannah says, knowing Luke
"Well, parties are…" Yellow trailed off. "I… I'm sorry."
"Yeah, we really don't mean to upset anyone… But we don't like parties all that much." Nic shook their head, on the verge of a panic attack.
The next day, Savannah got Luke breakfast in bed. Luke had nothing to say. He knew today wasn't his birthday…or was it? He looked confused and began to cry and shake.
"We're celebrating your birthday since your foster parents don't care enough." Savannah says.
"It's the 15th!" Luke screamed, panicking and crying, thinking he forgot his own day.
"No, we're celebrating as good friends. That is what friends do." Savannah says. But Luke is still panicking.
"Hey, Luke." Jason says, coming in. Luke was still shaking.
"Hey, it's okay…" Savannah says to Luke.
Meanwhile, Begmax was watching recordings and smirking, getting a plan together.
