:System Failure:

In the far corners of Etheria lay a lone solitary kingdom on a cliff side with large looking towers with glowing pink crystals and a wall surrounding it. This is the kingdom of Dryl, storm clouds began surrounding the kingdom. Lightning shoots down from the sky booming loudly.

Deep in the castle one of the kitchen staff a baker upon first appearance with bright green hair and wore a pink bakers robe was getting something out the wood burning oven. She pulled out a tray from the oven then began applying some pink coloured icing, to what appeared to be a tiny cake in the shape of a pig.

The baker shook the icing but was suddenly startled by the lightning flash that she spilled some. All of a sudden someone came from out of the shadows and it was another kitchen staff member with blue hair, tanned skin and wore what looked like a cooks uniform.

"Oh, I got it" She said wiping up the spilled icing.

Another lightning flash struck and out of nowhere came another kitchen staff member wearing a butlers suit with purple hair.

"Don't forget this." He said as he placed down a glass of soda pop on the tray startling the baker and cook.

He placed a lid on the tray then clapped his hands. Out of nowhere came a small robot with purple eyes and what looked like a glowing crystal in the middle of its chest. It also sported a purple bow tie.

"Oh, buttered biscuits. I'll never get used to these things." The Baker said dusting herself off then handing the tray of food over to the serving serving robot moved forward and took the tray then taking his leave of the kitchen.

"At least I don't have to get lost in that maze of hers anymore." The butler said trying to look on the bright side.

The robot traveled down the hallways of the castle which were covered by portraits then leading to a junction of seven doorways, between two of them looked like a family portrait. The robot proceeded to travel down the third tunnel on the left. This brought him to a hallway with more portraits on the wall. He stopped at a portrait of a small pug dog, and from it eye was a small beam then a second later the wall swung round and the robot disappeared.

On the other side the robot butler then arrived at a rather large looking door and typed in a certain code on the pad and pressing a small button. The door then opened and he proceeded inside.

In the room was what looked like a scientists laboratory with lines of deactivated robots hanging from the ceiling in the far end of the room surrounded by screens was an individual who seemed to be very focused on something.

The scientist was a short and a bit stocky young girl, with olive skin, with long lilac purple coloured hair which was incredibly long not Rapunzel long but still. She wore what looked like a workers overalls worn like pants, loose shoulder straps and a white undershirt with a blot of grease. The rest of her outfit consisted of heavy gloves, steel toed boots, arm covers and wore a welding mask with circle round red coloured lenses.

She was currently working on something and used one of her hair tendrils to hold a welding torch whilst she was using what looked like wires coming from her mask to type on the keyboard below then the robot placed the dinner tray in front of her and removed the lid revealing the scientist looks up and removes her welding mask to reveal she has rose red eyes.

"A pig, So cute." She said inspecting the food and used her hair to grab the pig cupcake and eat it then picked up her soda and took a sip from the straw as she continued working.

The robot disposes of the tray then shuts down.

Entrapta uses her hair to climb up to the screens to look at a diagram of something and complex mathematical equations that surround it. She is studying what appears to be a three pointed star looking piece of technology. She picked it up with her hair in the shape of a hand then placed it into what looked like an analysing device.

"Log, Day 103. 104?" She said a little unsure of the date or time as she recorded a log in her recording device."No, definitely 103." She looked at multiple computer screens.

"First Ones artefact number 58 has yielded a treasure trove of intact code." She was studying the code from the device she was studying.

"If I can successfully translate it, it could hold the secrets of the First Ones." She was pacing around the room with her hair as the legs whilst she sat on a nest made of her hair.

However whilst she was pacing little did she know the First Ones artefact she was studying suddenly glowed red. Then without warning large red roots began sprouting from it turning all her computer screens red with a rather angry looking looked in surprise.

Outside her castle a red shockwave was sent out which then triggered an alarm of some kind from the top of a spire.

However that was only the beginning the robots hanging by the ceiling suddenly came to life with bright glowing red eyes. Turning towards their creator they broke free. Entrapta turned around and looked to see her robots activated and surround her.

"Fascinating, my roots seem to be responding to the code." She said recording a log. Then her butler robot activated with the same red glow.

"This is remarkable." The robot suddenly ripped the bin from the ground.

"Could this be my biggest step yet in making ancient and modern technology truly compatible?" Entrapta was excited, however she turned to see her robot not looking very friendly and moved to crush her.

Her soda glass lay shattered on the floor. Then she dropped in from the ceiling and spoke into her recording device.

"Edit to log, I am now going to run." She said a little herself surrounded by her creations that now had every intention of killing her.

Meanwhile:

Not too far away from Dryl in the mountain pathways, Ben, Rook, Adora, Bow and Glimmer walked along towards the kingdom.

"Princess Entrapta will be a total catch for the Rebellion." Glimmer said excitedly "My mother is going to be so impressed!"

"Uh, I'm all for impressing Angella, but why is Entrapta so important?" Adora asked.

"Yeah what does she do?" Ben asked also. "Make traps?"

"Not exactly Ben." Bow explained. "She's a brilliant inventor. She makes robots and rehabs old tech left by the First Ones."

"So she takes left behind technology then repurposes it to create her own machines." Rook surmised. "She sounds like a very resourceful person."

"Sounds like the exact kind of person Blukic and Driba would want to hang out with." Ben added.

"I don't know what that mean." The master archer said not knowing what Ben was referring too. But,she's a pretty big deal in the Etherian makers community." Adora, Glimmer, Ben and Rook gave blank looks as they didn't know what that was.

"Which I am a part of, because I dabble in gadgetry myself." He said showing off a small trick arrow and fired it from a small bow which launched confetti as he waved his hands in dazzle.

"What does any of that mean?" Adora whispered to Glimmer.

"It means, if we convince Entrapta to join the Rebellion, she'll invent all sorts of cool junk for us. And then we'll finally have weapons that can stand up to the Horde's." Glimmer explained.

"Maybe even help you guys fix your ship." She added which did make Rook think about asking her for help in repairs to the Proto Truck.

"Or like my trick arrows!" Bow added. "I'm running low so I built some new ones with Rooks help."

Since seeing Rooks Proto tool in action Bow had an idea of incorperating some of the tech from that into his arrows which the Revonnahgander was more than happy to help with.

"Yes Bow suggested incorporating the same tech in my Proto tool with his trick arrows." Rook explained.

"Yeah This one is a stun arrow but also doubles as an electro rope." Bow explained showing off his arrows. "This one is an emergency flare. And this one, this one's just pointy." Bow continued to explain.

"And here is my newest one." Bow pulled out an arrow that had what looked like a birds head for the point he threw it in the air and caught it in a razzle dazzle style.

"Sonic arrow!" He introduced.

Ben, Adora and Glimmer just looked a little confused to say the least.

"Why does it have a birds head?" Ben asked.

"Oh well birds are loud so I figured that screams Sonic Arrow." Bow said.

"He is not wrong Ben, from my studies of Earth wildlife birds generate a rather loud call during the mating season or to warn off nest thieves." Rook explained.

"Rook, I know how loud birds are." Ben said but just then Glimmer just broke out in laughter.

"When will we ever need a sonic arrow?" She questioned. "If we have to wake up really early?"

"Or if we get separated in a crowd?" Adora agreed as the two laughed walking away leaving Bow with a disgruntled look.

"Separated in a crowd." Bow whined. "I bet Entrapta will like my arrows."

"Come on man don't listen to them, in my experience you should never judge a book by its cover." Ben then said.

"How does judging the cover of a book relate to this matter?" Rook asked.

Ben just face palmed himself. "Rook, don't you remember that slang book I got you last Christmas?"

Rook then realised. "Oh I see another Earth phrase."

"Look the point is just because something sounds silly doesn't mean it's not useful." Ben continued as they walked. "I mean one time I got stuck with this slime ball called Skurd who just wouldn't leave but it turns out he was kinda useful in a tight squeeze."

"Indeed and your Sonic Arrow has practical applications as a distress call should we get into a crisis." Rook agreed.

"Thanks guys glad someone appreciates my…."

They soon caught up with the girls and saw the way was blocked by huge boulders caused by a landslide.

"Must have been a rock slide. Any loud sound could cause another slide." Bow said. "We need to be as quiet as possible."

"Relax Bow I got this" Ben said reaching for the Omnitrix. "A little Gravattack will clear this little…"

However before Ben could transform. "FOR THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL!"

Adora charged forward and transformed into She-Ra, but Bow was worried this little light show and noise would cause another landslide. With two slashes of her sword She-Ra destroyed the boulders blocking their path to their destination.

"Ha! I'm getting the hang of this." She-Ra cheered.

"Hey I had that you know!" Ben criticised.

"Sorry Ben gotta be quicker on the draw next time." She-Ra brushed off causing Ben to pout.

"That was incredibly dangerous." Bow then criticised. Whilst Glimmer looked in awe.

"What's the big deal? It worked." She-Ra brushed off as they continued on their way.

"You can't just bust through everything with magic." Bow tried. "She-Ra could have caused an avalanche."

"He is right Adora you cannot always rely on your powers, because you never know when you will be without them." Rook added.

"But she didn't, OK? I've spent my whole life without powers. No way I'm going to stop using them now." She-Ra then said.

"Adora look I hate to be the voice of reason but they're right." Ben said. "You shouldn't always need to use She-Ra for every little thing you've got to think when you use them." He recalled some advice he got from his grandfather when he was learning to use the Omnitrix.

"Oh really like you think with your powers Ben?" Glimmer questioned.

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Ben asked.

"Oh come on, when you try to use one of your aliens you get the wrong one just like on Sea Hawks ship, or in the mines." Glimmer reminded.

"Hey don't blame me blame the watch." Ben said. "And anyway sure at times I cause a little too much damage but it's not like I can help it."

"Explain that to Mr Bauman and Pakmar." Rook said to himself.

"Anyway I bet if I was using it I'd get the right one." Glimmer then said.

"Hey this alien thing isn't as easy as I make it look, trust me on that." Ben pointed out.

Before anything else could be said suddenly a large crash of lightning sounded. They looked and saw Dryl standing in front of them and lightning bolts shot down from the sky onto the spire.

"Wow she's got lightning!" Bow said a little excited.

"Uh you sure, cause this screams more haunted house than a princess castle." Ben wondered for some reason this reminded him of a certain cartoon dog show for some reason.

"Indeed it looks rather unsettling." Rook agreed.

However whilst a rather unsettling sight Glimmer noticed something and teleported up to upper wall and saw what was flashing at the top of the spire.

"Something's wrong, the castle's distress beacon is lit." Glimmer called down "They must be under attack." She teleported away.

"Theres been no reports of Horde in this area." She-Ra said.

"And it doesn't look like theres been any sign of a fight?" Ben added as he looked at the outer walls for any sign of attack.

Regardless She-Ra ran forwards into the kingdom, and Ben followed close behind. "Wait be careful!" Bow called.

She-Ra's foot just hit a rock and suddenly a click noise was heard and a pit opened. Bow and Rook took a closer look and then spikes emerged from the ground spooking them.

"A very medieval means of traps." Rook noted as the two worked their way around the spiked pit and into the kingdom.

Upon entering Ben, She-Ra and Glimmer looked around and saw that the whole place was completely deserted. It was almost like a feeling of Deja-vu when they went to Selainas.

She-Ra suddenly heard something in her mind and she did feel a slight pain in her head, which Glimmer and Ben noticed.

"Are you okay?" Glimmer asked.

"This place feels wrong" She-Ra said quietly.

"What?" Ben asked confused.

"It's nothing." She-Ra then dismissed. But Ben wasn't entirely sure. Just then Glimmer teleported them to another part of the kingdom.

They walked around the deserted looking kingdom, and inside one of the houses someone was inside then slammed the door. The noise startled the group.

"Hey, who's there?" She-Ra called out drawing her sword ready for anything.

"Hello! Anyone here!" Ben called out.

"Hello? Princess Entrapta." Glimmer called out. We're here to, uh, recruit you for the Rebellion."

She walked past an abandoned cart, but was unaware of the three fingered robot hand that scurried over to her then climbed her leg. She trembled at the cold touch and looked down to see the robot hand lying lifeless on the ground.

Curious she picked it up. Then all of a sudden it came to life and grabbed her wrist. She shrieked as she tried to shake it off it let go and she kicked it away. However the hand just came running straight back and Glimmer just swatted it away again. But the hand didn't give up and tried to grab her again but before she could.

Something blasted it with a large beam of heat which melted it to the ground. Glimmer turned and looked to see what looked like a giant dark green teal coloured containment suit with three bolts on each of his hands, a handle on his head and pipes running to the centre dial on his chest and his helmet had three slits on it showing its eyes. Glimmer noticed the familiar looking hour glass symbol on his chest.

"You alright Glimmer?" Asked NRG.

"Yeah thanks Ben." Glimmer and Rook then arrived on the scene to meet their friends.

"Okay, we need to be careful." Bow warned between breaths. "Entrapta has traps set up all over her castle. They're supposed to be really cool."

"Being cool aside, we need to proceed with the utmost caution." Rook then any more could be said they suddenly heard a loud explosion which shook the ground.

"What was that?" NRG then a sewer grate lifted up slightly to reveal one of Dryl's citizens wearing a hooded cloak.

"They're coming. Get out of the square." He said before disappearing into the sewers.

"Who's coming?" She-Ra kneeled down to the grate. "Is it the Horde?"

Glimmer then teleported down to the grate as well. "Hello, come back!"

The slamming noise got louder and louder which was more than a concern to everyone there. Rook pulled out his Proto Tool ready for anything.

"Guys whatever's making that noise is coming closer!" NRG warned.

"I suggest we should probably move away from whatever is making that sound." Rook suggested.

"Right." Glimmer agreed.

"This way." She-Ra said pointing towards an alley way and so the group headed down into stopped as he noticed something coming out of the shadows, it was some kind of robot that was missing its left leg.

"What the..!" She-Ra exclaimed as Bow and Glimmer gasped.

"Robots! I hate robots!" NRG exclaimed.

The robot let out a roar and charged towards the group. She-Ra charged forwards then proceeded to roundhouse kick the bot away sending it tumbling to the ground.

The robot was crawling along and was trying to get back up again. NRG was getting ready to attack until Bow stopped him. He quickly fired one of his trick arrows straight at the bots head shocking it until it ceased functioning.

"Nice shot." NRG they heard the noise getting louder and quickly retreated into the and Rook stopped to take a closer look at the robot, and the Revonnahgander noticed something about some of the patterns.

"This looks similar to that of First Ones tech." He said.

"Looks like one of Entrapta's designs." Bow noticed taking a look at the robots remains and noticed some red coloured roots emerging from it. "Why would it attack us?"

"Unclear, but there is something clearly wrong here." Rook looked closely at the red roots it wasn't natural.

"Guys!" They looked to see NRG, Glimmer and She-Ra near what looked like a door. "I think we just found a way in."

"Alright, stand back." She-Ra was getting ready to use her sword to smash the door down as Glimmer watched in anticipation.

"Careful it could be a…" Before Bow could finish that sentence She-Ra was nearly ready to strike the door but suddenly the door and the floor below it opened and she, Glimmer and NRG fell into the trap door.

Before Bow or Rook could reach them the trap door closed. The two of them tried slamming on the door just to try and break it down.

"Glimmer! Adora! Ben!" Bow called out, suddenly a pair of hands covered his mouth and pulled him into the turned round and saw his comrade wasn't with him.

"Bow!" Rook called out only for another pair of hands to pull him away into the shadows as he struggled to break free.

Far below:

Screaming down a tunnel fell the two princesses and the contained Prypiatosian-B, (NRG's species) falling and crashing into the twists and turns of the tubes they were falling down. As they near the end of one the Omnitrix timed out and reverted NRG back to Ben who fell into what looked like a cage followed by Glimmer and She-Ra who landed on his back.

"Ow!" Ben groaned. "I hate trap doors!"

The two princesses groaned as they got back up and off of Ben who also groaned not from the impact on the cold metal ground but also from having two people land on his back.

"Bow! He's all alone with those things!" Glimmer realised. "He needs us!"

"Hey don't forget Rooks with him too, and don't worry those two can look after themselves." Ben said. "I'm a little concerned about where we are and how to reach them."

"Bens right lets get out of here first." She-Ra agreed.

"Okay I'll turn into Big Chill and phase us out." Ben said about to transform.

"No need I'll teleport us out." Glimmer said a she grabbed onto Ben and She-ra and teleported out of the cage.

However when they reappeared they found themselves in what appeared to be the hallway of the castle but it seemed they were bigger than it.

"Uh is this out?" She-Ra asked.

"Okay did we get bigger or did the room get smaller?" Ben asked.

"Ugh!" Glimmer groaned as she teleported them away.

They reappeared on one of the towers surrounding the castle. They screamed in terror as they saw they were on the very edge of a cliff so they teleported away. However when they reappeared they were falling and they screamed to see they were about to get munched by some gears and cogs.

"OH PLEASE BE SOMETHING WITH WINGS!"

Ben quickly activated the Omnitrix and dialled in an alien quick and slammed down the dial. He transformed into what looked like a ghost like being with black lines running all over him, with greenish white skin and wore green coloured chains on his front side leading to his neck, waist and chest, with spiked elbows and green cuffs on his arms, he had a single green eye on his head and the Omnitrix symbol was in the centre of the chains on his chest.

"Yes! Guys grab onto me!" Ghostfreak said and the two princesses waisted no time in grabbing his arms.

The Ectonurite then turned himself and the girls intangible allowing them to phase right through the clamping machines.

They then went through the floor and appeared on another floor in a hallway hitting the ground on their butts as they were now solid again.

"Whoa! that felt weird." Glimmer said feeling like cold water had been poured over her spine.

"Well thats what you get for not letting me do the break outs." Ghostfreak said as he slammed the Omnitrix symbol on his chest reverting him back to Ben.

"Besides I don't think teleporting is a good idea, who knows how many more booby traps this castle has!" Ben then said.

"Okay, no more teleporting from now on!" She-Ra breathed in agreement as she stood up.

"Yeah sounds like a good idea." Glimmer agreed.

They looked around and saw they were in a hallway, suddenly a loud clanging noise emerged from behind them. They turned around spooked. In the shadows they heard the noise of metal dropping to the ground and from the wall emerged a pair of glowing red eyes with what looked like tentacles.

"Not again." Glimmer groaned as she and She-ra readied their respective powers and weapons whilst Ben was at the ready to dial in an nothing was as it seemed as emerging from the shadows wasn't a monster it was.

"Princesses! I'm saved!" It was really Entrapta who removed her welding mask to look at the two Princesses and young man.

"Princess Entrapta?" Ben guessed looking to Glimmer.

"Uh it's so good to see you, I hope you don't mind, but we sort of let ourselves in." Glimmer introduced rather sheepishly.

"And then we let ourselves out of your cage, trap thing." She-Ra added.

"Welcome to Dryl!" Entrapta welcomed as she looked at Glimmers cape then looked at Bens jacket. "Things are usually really fun around here, but right now it's all kind of teensy bit deadly."

The three of them just looked with raised eyebrows, but at the same time wondered if their missing comrades were okay.

Elsewhere:

Bow and Rook were being held captive by someone in another part of the castle they struggled to break free.

"Let us go!" Bow struggled.

"I demand you release us at once we are members of the Great Rebellion and the Plumbers!" Rook demanded.

"Please keep your voices down sir." They looked and saw they were being held by the kitchen staff of Entrapta's castle.

"The robots respond to sound." The butler said.

"We're just trying to help you." The Baker added.

Bow and Rook could see the staff were just as terrified about the situation and could see that they had jumped to conclusions.

"Oh, thanks?" Bow thanked. "What's going on?"

"Why are the robots attacking people?" Rook then asked.

"We don't know." The anxious Bus girl answered rather scared as she hid behind the baker. "We're just the kitchen staff."

"Miniature cupcake?" The Baker offered some tiny cupcakes to the two strangers, Bow was completely in awe whilst Rook was all but confused.

"Why so small?" Rook whispered.

"Princess Entrapta only eats tiny food." The Baker answered.

"And delicious fizzy beverages." The Butler said handing them two bottles of fizzy drinks.

"Uh thank you." Bow thanked whispering.

"You'll be safe in here with us." The Baker said as Bow and Rook stood up after eating their tiny cupcakes. "We've got enough food to last for months." The kitchen staff gathered together in a group. "It's tiny, but still."

"The bots will run out of power eventually, right?" The Busgirl hoped.

"I... do not believe these are the type of robots that run out of batteries." Rook said simply.

"Rook is right, we need to do something. You can't just hide in here forever." Bow then said.

"Oh yes we can. We don't have powers like the princesses." The Busgirl said in terror. "We can't - fight." She ate another tiny cupcake just as a loud beeping noise spooked them.

They looked and saw the tech archer pulling out of his quiver a tech pad looking device. The noise it made was loud which to the kitchen staff was not a good thing.

"Sir, kindly quiet your whatever that is." The butler exclaimed quietly.

"What is that Bow?" Rook asked.

"It's a tracker pad. It tracks energy signatures from magic." Bow explained. "It will help us find our friends."

"I better see if I can contact them." Rook said pulling out his Plumbers badge.

"Ben come in Ben are you there?" He said on the coms.

"Rook? Where are you and Bow? Are you okay?!" Ben called loudly over the coms.

"Ben quiet!" Rook said through his teeth. "Listen the robots are alerted to sound so I would advise you keep the noise level to a minimum."

"Oh right, well good news we found Princess Entrapta." Ben said quietly. "Bad news is we have no clue where we are this whole castle is like a maze!"

"Labyrinth, actually!" Entrapta called.

"Uh excuse me." The baker called as the kitchen staff were gathered around Bows tracker pad. "Are those, little dot thingies your friends?"

They looked at the screen and saw about four red dots closing in on their position, however they heard a loud screeching noise coming from the door. It sounded like it was getting closer and started banging on the door.

"Gonna go with no." Bow said drawing his bow and arrows.

"Rook whats going on?!" Ben called.

"Call you back we are going to be a little preoccupied." The young Plumber said cutting off communication and readying his Proto-tool, and the kitchen staff hid behind them.

Elsewhere:

Deep in the castle, Ben, Glimmer, She-Ra and Entrapta were navigating the endless maze of the castle, the various tunnels and passages made it more of a fun house than castle.

"Okay Rook and Bow sound busy we need to find a way to them." Ben said putting away his plumber badge.

"Well you're lucky I found you." Entrapta said as she lead the group through the hallways and past a picture of a cute cat. "I designed the castle as a labyrinth. I'm the only one who can navigate it."

She accidentally walked into one of the pillars in the corridor whilst walking backwards.

"Which means you can help us find our friends?" Glimmer hoped as they followed the tech princess.

"Absolutely." Entrapta assured as she leaped down from an archway and down to the hallway below. The group soon when they landed She-Ra noticed a familiar looking painting of a cute kitten. Ben noticed it too.

"Is she sure about that?" She-Ra questioned pointing to the painting.

"Yeah I'm sure we passed this painting a couple of minutes ago?" Ben agreed.

Glimmer looked and saw they were right this was the same painting. "Hi, um, I think we passed this picture already." She said as Entrapta was getting her bearings.

"Oh, isn't it cute?" Entrapta said.

Ben just looked a little unsure this looked like the kind of thing you would see in a Scooby Doo cartoon. He looked to make sure the eyes weren't following him. Entrapta looked around before coming to a conclusion.

"You might be right." Entrapta then pulled out a small device from her overalls. "I usually have my electronic map to get around. But, well, like my bots it's sort of evil right now." The tech pad was glowing red with a rather angry looking face and had some red roots growing on it.

"Uh yeah about that…" Glimmer said trying to ask a question but She-Ra beat her too it.

"Why did you invent killer robots?" She said with her arms then took notice of the rather tall Princess of Power.

"You're abnormally tall." She said using her hair hands and a tape measure to measure She-Ra's height then she saw the sword she carried.

"Hello! I like your sword." She perked up with interest as her hair supported her. "It's First Ones tech, right? Can I touch it?"

She reached to grab it but She-Ra just pulled away. "Uh, thank you, yes, and no, not right now."

"Hey another thing, what made you suddenly decide to turn your castle into a maze thats also a fully themed death trap?!" Ben then asked and Entrapta took notice of him too.

"Ooo I'm glad you asked, its really to keep out intruders who want to bother me and my work, plus who doesn't love mazes." Entrapta answered, then something on his wrist caught her eye.

"Hello whats this?" She used her hair as a hand to grab Bens left wrist that had the Omnitrix.

"H-hey!" Ben said in surprise.

"Fascinating, I've never seen a piece of tech like this before." Entrapta looked over the alien device with interest. "Its not First Ones tech but something more, what does it do and can I touch it?!"

Ben just pulled his wrist free from Entrapta's hair, before she accidentally turned him into one of his aliens. "Uh first it's called the Omnitrix, no it's not First Ones tech and no you and your, freakishly long hair can't touch it!"

"Ahem" Glimmer said getting the tech princess's attention. "About the killer robots?"

"They didn't start out that way." Entrapta explained. "Usually they're super useful. They do almost everything for me. Cleaning, filing, basic hygiene." She listed using her hair.

"And let me guess they react to sound." Ben said remembering what Rook said to him.

"Exactly, wow you're smart."Entrapta confirmed. "Here, I'll show you!" Entrapta then proceeded to clap her hands several times but then Glimmer stopped her before anything else happened.

"Uh, can we maybe not do that?" Glimmer suggested but it was a little too late.

Because suddenly they heard the sound of something revving up not too far away from them. They turned round and saw a rather large looking robot with cleaning brushes on the front and bottom, it looked like a robot street sweeper. It turned its head and saw the group.

"Leaving now!" Ben exclaimed through his teeth as he ran away from the killer sweeper bot with Glimmer and She-Ra close behind.

Entrapta just breathed with amazement but didn't run. "Come on Rapunzel!" Ben said as he pulled her away by the hair.

The group ran for their lives from the angry robot which was close behind sweeping the walls, the painting of the cute cat was destroyed in the process.

Everyone was panicking but Entrapta could only laugh at this situation. "Isn't it adorable?"

"Yeah if it wasn't trying to kill us!" Ben exclaimed.

However they suddenly had a stroke of luck the sweeper bot had crashed into one of the support pillars in the hallway and given its size it couldn't get group breathed a sigh of relief. However the bot just let out a roar, and suddenly She-Ra clenched her head in pain she fell to the floor.

"Adora!" Ben said kneeling down next to her.

Entrapta meanwhile could see the robot was trying to do something. "It's trying to talk!"

Curious the inventor Princess just ran over to the restrained bot whilst Ben and Glimmer looked over She-Ra.

"Whatever it's saying, I don't think it's good." Glimmer said.

She-Ra was still holding her head in pain she was hearing a sound that was like nails against a chalkboard.

"Adora whats wrong?" Ben asked in concern.

"Make it stop!" She cried in pain.

"Make what stop?" Glimmer asked not being able to hear the noise.

Entrapta meanwhile used her hair to leap onto the front of the robot and pulled out her recording device.

"Bot 329 is attempting to communicate.".

Suddenly however the robot broke through the curved support structure and continued forwards. Entrapta's long hair then got caught in one of the sweeping brushes. It was pulling her backwards as it yanked on her hair.

"Oh no, bad bot." She cried in pain.

"Princess!" She-Ra exclaimed coming to her senses.

"We're gonna need some muscle to deal with this bot!" Ben said as he dialled in an alien on the Omnitrix. "Four Arms of muscle!"

He slammed down the dial and in a void of green and white molecules he transformed. His skin turned black and green glowing lines raced up his arm and onto his face before he was fully transformed. He was now a rather muscular looking life form with a black exterior with green circuit like lines going across his body with a green chest and black circuit lines. The Omnitrix symbol was located on his eye.

Entrapta was completely in awe and bewilderment by this development. She gasped in excitement practically with sparkles in her as Ben looked at himself in his new form he was irritated.

"Gah or a very irritated Upgrade." Upgrade said which was Bens voice only more computer like.

"Okay seriously! Why do you even bother calling them out before you transform!?" Glimmer annoyingly groaned.

"Honestly I've asked myself that question for years." Upgrade admitted.

Regardless he charged forwards at the bot which swung its brush at the Galvanicmechamorph who only morphed around it then landed at the front.

"Time to get under the hood! Or become it!" Upgrade said as he placed his hands on the bots front and began to merge with the bot itself as green lines moved over the robot.

"Fascinating the green one appears to have become a tech based life form thats now merging with Bot 329." Entrapta said into her recorder. "Tech melding with organic matter, amazing!"

Upgrade then instructed the bot to stand down. Which seemed to work as it was stoping. For a brief moment it seemed he had succeeded.

"Whew that was close." Upgrade breathed in the bot reactivated and gave the alien a shock of red electricity, causing him to scream in pain.

"GAAAAHHHH!" He cried.

"Ben!" She-Ra cried as she drew her sword and charged to help her friend.

The sweeper brushes tried to defend the bot but She-Ra just sliced the brush off the tips then flipped onto the bot itself where she jammed her sword straight into the bots power core. However when she did red roots started to grow on the swords blade. Upgrade was then able to use this opportunity to re merge with the bot and make it stop dead in its tracks. Entrapta's hair was then free from the lower sweeper brushes. And she tumbled back off the bot.

Upgrade separated himself from the sweeper bot and did topple backwards a little if Glimmer didn't catch him.

"Ben are you okay?" Glimmer asked in concern.

"Yeah yeah, I'm good." Upgrade assured.

However they were cut short by the sound of She-Ra smashing the bots head with her sword. Which then suddenly grew the red roots on its runestone turning it red.

"Uh oh." Upgrade said as he leaped up to the bots head. The mechamorph then hurried to stop She-Ra from doing any more damage.

"Whoa whoa Adora cool it!" Upgrade exclaimed but She-Ra kept smashing the bot with her sword like she couldn't hear him.

"ADORA STOP!" Upgrade finally shouted as he grabbed the sword in his hand, then She-Ra turned to face him and her eyes were glowing red.

"Adora?" He breathed in shock.

Then out of nowhere She-Ra yelled and tossed Upgrade into the bots head where she then grabbed him by the Omnitrix gasped in horror as she teleported over to She-Ra to stop her from hurting her friend.

"Adora whats gotten into you!" Upgrade struggle. The red roots then spread from her arm and onto the Omnitrix which then suddenly glowed red instead of green and started to spark with acted quickly to remove the sword from She-Ra pulling with all her might.

"Turn it off turn it off!" She struggled as she pulled the sword free from She-Ra's hand and tossed it away for it to land in the sweeper -Ra's eyes then glowed red but they neglected to see the Omnitrix overloading.

"Ben!" Glimmer said trying to get him out of the Princess of Powers grasp.

"Glimmer get back before…"

It was too late the Omnitrix soon exploded in a green energy wave which Glimmer was caught in and everyone was blinded by a glowing green light faded to reveal Ben back in human form and Adora lying on the ground next to him. He groaned as he got up.

"Ah man, last time I got a headache like this there had better be a bad smoothy mix involved." He groaned. Then he noticed his wrist and the Omnitrix which now had red roots on it as well.

"Hey whats happened to the Omnitrix?" He exclaimed in shock then looks to see Adora unconscious. Concerned for her he picked her up in his arms and tried to wake her up.

"Adora! Adora are you okay say something?" He he heard another groan but it wasn't from Adora. He looked in the smoke of the robot and saw what looked like Glimmer in the smoke.

"Glimmer?" Ben asked.

"Uh Ben what happened I feel, strange." Said a voice but it didn't sound like the Bright Moon Princess.

In fact as the smoke cleared Bens pupils shrunk in shock as standing before him was a female version of Diamond Head, her uniform was purple with dark purple shorts and lilac and blue boots with moon symbols on them, she had bright pink eyes and more surprisingly the Omnitrix symbol was still green on the centre of her chest.

She looked herself over and saw she was completely made of pinkish turquoise green crystals.

"AHHH WHAT WHATS HAPPENED TO ME!" She exclaimed in fright.

"Oh boy." Ben grimaced.

Meanwhile:

The robots on the other side of the castle were closing in on the kitchen door clawing and screeching at it trying to break in. The butler was in a panic whilst the Baker looked with worry.

"Oh, the door won't hold much longer." The Baker said with worry.

"Almost done." Bow assured as he was tying something to his bow string and Rook was helping him prepare the trap they had planned.

"Are you sure about this?" The butler said rather afraid.

"Yes, we maybe outnumbered but not helpless." Rook said. The bangs on the door got louder and louder.

"Uh you guys!" The Baker panicked and Bow checked the rope was fully secured before he nodded to Rook telling him they were a go.

"Now!" Rook said and the Butler took a large gulp of fizzy drink before hiding.

The Baker bravely put her hand on the doorknob and took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing."

She quickly opened the door letting the robots into the room which charged in ready to attack the quickly fired an arrow with the rope attached and the robot ran straight into it tripping it up and sent it crashing into the wood burning stove.

"Ha ha!" Bow cheered however another larger robot was standing above him ready to crush him.

Rook then acted transforming his Proto-Tool into a bow and fired energy arrows at the bot shocking it with orange electricity. It fell to the ground only to reveal another robot cornering the helpless only had one arrow left but it was one he knew he couldn't use.

"Shoot it already!" the Butler panicked.

"I can't, it's a sonic arrow, it'll draw more bots" Bow replied.

"I can still shoot though!" Rook reverted his Proto Tool into a grappling hook and fired it restraining the bot as he tugged back on the rope. It stopped it from approaching the baker who was still a little scared.

Then suddenly, SLAM! The cabinet door opened right in the robots face causing it to short out and fall to the the cabinet was the Busgirl who was hiding in it.

"Is it over?" She asked a little scared then saw the robot she hit.

"Yes it's over thanks to you." Rook congratulated.

"I did that?" She said surprised. " Hey, I did that!"

"Nice work now let's find our friends!" Bow said as the Plumber, Archer and Kitchen staff hurried out of the kitchen to find the rest of the Best Friend Squad.

Meanwhile:

However they had problems of their own, somehow Glimmer was now Diamondhead, which whilst cool was not a good thing according to the princess.

"Ben whats happened to me!" Diamond Glimmer cried. "I'm made of crystals!"

"Glimmer calm down." Ben tried but to no avail.

"Calm down how can I be calm when I'm trapped as one of your aliens!" She exclaimed. "Oh Moms going to kill me!"

"You! What about me she'll kill me first!" Ben exclaimed now with worry. Not just for Glimmer but for how a certain queen will react to this.

Entrapta on the other hand was all but intrigued. "Hm interesting the sparkly one has been transformed into a crystalline based life form thanks to the overload caused by the green ones device." Entrapta theorised. "A device capable of changing his form."

"Great thanks for the obvious! Now how do we fix this?!" Diamond Glimmer exclaimed.

Ben took a moment to think, and then he remembered how something like this happened before after he had a run in with one of the Techadon weaponers Inspectors. Back when he had the Ultimatrix.

"Hold on let me try something." Ben then tapped the face plate on the Omnitrix and it beeped then moments later Diamond Glimmer was enveloped by a green flash reverting her back to her normal form.

"Ah thats better." Glimmer breathed in relief only to find the Omnitrix symbol still present on her chest. "Uh mostly."

Her attention was then drawn to Adora who was lying on the floor unconscious. "Adora!" She exclaimed with worry as she hurried over to her.

"Adora? Wake up, please wake up!" Glimmer said with deep concern in her voice and Ben was as equally concerned what did that bot do to her?

Entrapta just poked Adoras cheek with her hair to see if she moved whilst recording her experiment in her recorder.

"The tall one seems infected too." She said. "She turned less tall. How does it work?" She then asked as she measured her height with a tape measure.

"She's not an it, she's my friend." Glimmer said loudly.

"Hold up, what do you mean she's infected too?" Ben then asked picking up on what the Princess said.

"It's really fascinating. I've been experimenting with a disc that was recovered from a mine in Dryl." Entrapta explained as she made gestures with her hair. "It was a game-changer. It held more complete First One's code than anything I've ever seen before." She continued to explain.

"But it seems to have reacted with the First Ones tech that powers my bots. It infected them with some sort of a virus." She then explained.

"So that explains why they started attacking us." Ben realised.

"But why would it make She-Ra sick?" Glimmer asked. "And Bens watch isn't even First Ones tech how could it make me well that Diamond alien?"

"Well, I'd have to take her apart to be sure." Entrapta suggested showing the two a scalpel causing Glimmer to glare and hold Adora close to her whilst Ben just gulped with shrunk pupils.

"But since her sword is First One's tech, it must have spread through that." She said looking at the sword which had roots on it. She then had a closer look at Bens Omnitrix. "As for this Omnitrix device, the virus must have spread from her to that but it's not completely infected." She said.

"Whats thats supposed to mean?" Ben asked almost as if he was getting a science lecture from Azmuth.

"Well as you said this isn't First Ones tech but something entirely different, so its likely caused a simple malfunction in your the energy overload from it may have affected the sparkly one turning her into that crystal life form." Entrapta theorised. "Course I would need to cut it open to be sure."

Ben just pulled his writs away at that thought. "Oh no you don't I'm not hacking this thing…. Again."

He remembered the last few times he hacked the Omnitrix. Such as hacking the prototype to get Master Control so he could be ready to face Vilgax, but accidentally turned his friend Kevin into a monster, or when he was a kid accidentally activating the Omnitrix's self destruct mode after fighting Animo, or even after breaking off the face plate giving him combinations of his different aliens like Diamond Matter and Stink of all when he triggered the alien randomiser before the Incursians invaded Earth.

"And your defiantly not taking Adora apart SHES A PERSON!" Glimmer then agreed getting in Entrapta's face. "Second, if we destroy this disc, will that turn off the bots and stop the virus?"

"Destroy it?" Entrapta said in surprise. "But the experiment isn't complete!"

"Uh I think this experiment is for the failed column don't you think?!" Ben exclaimed gesturing to the destroyed bot behind them.

"But what if it's not…" Entrapta took a look at the bot too. "no, you're right, it's a failure." She said disappointed.

Just then they heard a faint groan from Adora as she opened her eyes.

"Hey she's coming around." Ben said. "Adora?"

She looked up and from her perspective her vision was blurry and she was seeing doubles of Ben and Glimmer.

"Glimmer, Ben there's two of you." She said in a weird voice. "That's nice."

"How are you feeling?" Glimmer whispered as Adora looked a little drowsy.

"Just peachy!" She said with a goofy looking smile. "Why are we whispering?" She then whispered.

"Sound activates the robots." Glimmer whispered.

"WHAT ROBOTS?" Adora asked loudly and Ben quickly covered her mouth.

"SHHH!" Ben hissed.

"The ones that are attacking us" Glimmer said.

"Oh those robots." Adora then whispered she then looked to Ben.

"Oh hey Ben wow your hairs so funny!" Adora drunkly said then blew a raspberry.

Ben couldn't help but let out a small laugh. "Okay I have to admit thats pretty funny." Then looked at Glimmer glaring.

"What I'm a joker under pressure." Ben shrugged.

"Okay, I'm going to take a nap now." she dozed off with a smile on her face.

"No no no no, stay awake," Glimmer said shaking her. "we have to go to Entrapta's lab and destroy this disc thing and then you'll be all better again."

"Better? I'm fine. I'm She-Ra." Adora drunkly laughed. "Hi, Glimmer."

Ben just face palmed himself. "Oh boy first she gets infected with a virus from that disc thing, my powers are now your powers and now Adoras a few shakes short of a smoothy." He listed. "What else could go wrong?"

"Lets not find out." Glimmer said before looking to Entrapta. "Come on, we've got to get to your lab. She's getting worse."

With that Glimmer picked Adora up and the group lead by the tech princess headed through the castle. The annoying issue was the whole castle was a maze, they either ended up going one direction, going back in the opposite direction.

Whilst walking Ben was trying to see what he could do to fix the Omnitrix. He tried tapping the buttons on the side then tapping the face plate but all that did was transform Glimmer who was carrying Adora into what looked like a female version of Kicken Hawk who had purple shaded brown feathers on her body with bladed elbows and wore a blue coloured diamond harness over a split purple and lilac dress with moon symbols on the side her clawed hands were gloved and her left arm had a white sleeve whilst her upper leg had blue feather leg cuffs with moon symbols on them. She had bright pink eyes, her hair was its normal shape and colour on her head and the green Omnitrix symbol was in the centre of the harness.

She looked at herself and glared at Ben who could only grimace with a smile as they continued tracking through the maze Entrapta calls a castle.

They went through a spinning wall passage way behind a pug dog painting but when trying to stand up Glimmer Hawks dress was caught up in the wall so she was supported Adora whilst Entrapta pushed the wall making it spin round again and again until finally Glimmer Hawk was free. She growled as she stood up again while Ben tried to keep himself from laughing as they continued walking.

Soon they stopped for a moment under an archway whilst Entrapta got her bearings. Glimmer Hawk rested Adora against the wall. However Adora just got up and walked away like a drunken sailor but Ben was too busy trying to fix the Omnitrix to notice.

Eventually Entrapta got her bearings back and Glimmer Hawk saw she was heading off, she reached for Adora only to see she was missing.

"Ben you were supposed to be watching Adora!" Glimmer Hawk clucked.

Ben looked and saw she wasn't there just as Glimmer Hawk had gone after her. Ben then pushed the face plate back and tried to turn the dial. Nothing happened but didn't notice the green glow. Moments later he felt his jacket collar being tugged and he was lifted up to meet the face of what appeared to be a female FourArms. Like Glim Hawk she maintained her normal hair and wore her outfit with a lilac V-shaped stripe going down her front from a small diamond on her chest , with red purplish skin, wearing dark purple shorts, purple and lilac boots with moon symbols on them, had long white sleeved fingerless gloves and circular shoulder pads on her upper arms the pair above the first and her cape was streaming down from her shoulders. The green Omnitrix logo was on her waist.

GlimArms was not very happy with Ben. "WILL YOU QUIT TURNING ME INTO ALIENS!" She exclaimed whilst she held Adora in her second left arm.

"Hey I'm trying to fix the Omnitrix!" Ben exclaimed. GlimArms just growled as she dropped Ben to the floor hard on his butt as she left to follow Entrapta.

"Man and I thought Looma had a temper." Ben groaned as he got back up on his feet and followed the four armed princess.

They were soon walking past an open doorway but GlimArms wasn't carrying Adora now, but Ben was as he carried her bridal style a little tired out from walking round in circles. Plus it was Glim Arms way of punishing Ben. Entrapta suddenly backed up when she saw something and looked happy.

"Oh we're here." She said happily as Ben, Adora and Glim Arms looked through the doorway and slightly glaring at Entrapta.

"I mean, uh, of course we're here. We were never lost." Entrapta then covered up as she ran over to the lab door.

"Ben if I go mad in this place, turn me into that angry cat alien so I can yell at her." GlimArms growled.

"Don't tempt me." Ben groaned.

Entrapta typed the code into the door using her hair hand as she hummed a song. Suddenly she received an all powerful electric shock of yellow electricity Adora was in awe with this and was about to touch it until Ben stopped shock stopped leaving Entrapta surprisingly unharmed.

"You okay?" Ben asked.

"Wow, the door is infected too, it won't let us in. That is so smart." Entrapta said as the static electricity surged through her hair and disappeared. "And 're all going to die." She realised.

"Great now we need a plan B." Ben groaned.

"It's okay, I've got this one. I'll just teleport into the lab." GlimArms said confidently.

"Ooo, teleportation."Entrapta said with intrigue. "How does that work? Tell me everything." She pulled out a note book and pen from her overall pockets.

"Sure, but maybe later," Glim Arms said with a slight glare "when we're not, like, facing a robot uprising. Or being stuck with extra arms."

"It's a date." Entrapta squeaked excitedly. Ben moved to place Adora down on the floor resting against the wall. GlimArms then came over to her.

"I'll be right back." She said to them both.

"Okay, I'm just gonna wait here." Adora said rather drunk.

Glim Arms then concentrated and tried to teleport, however there was a problem nothing happened. She tried again but still nothing happened.

"Uh should something be happening?" Entrapta asked Ben who just shrugged.

"What, whats wrong with me I…I can't teleport!" Glim arms said in shock.

"I'm no scientist but I'm guessing until the Omnitrix is fixed you won't be able to use your powers." Ben guessed.

"Oh great thats just great!" GlimArms groaned. However when she looked at herself she noticed she did look very muscular in her arms and body, this gave her an idea.

"Then I'll just smash a way in." GlimArms smirked as she charged forwards fist first.

"Uh Glimmer I wouldn't…" But it was too late GlimArms double fists slammed into the door but the electricity caused by the virus shocked her and then blasted her straight into a wall leaving a four arm shaped body imprinted in the wall.

"Ouch!" GlimArms groaned.

"Wow that really looked like fun." Adora laughed still drunk.

GlimArms got free of the hole and was ready to charge."Okay let's try that again!"

"Glimmer just hitting the door isn't going to work, brute strength isn't gonna cut it." Ben then said to her remembering his own experiences. "You need to pause to consider your actions." He couldn't believe what he just said.

"Well you got any better ideas?" GlimArms questioned.

Ben thought for a moment then had an idea, he activated the Omnitrix and then twisted the dial and one bright green glow later Glim Arms had now changed into something new.

It was a female version of Big Chill but with one difference. She had dark purple and pink patches on her arms, shoulders and legs, with dark purple fur, bright pink moth like eyes. She wore a pink V-necked body suit with shorts and moon shapes on her chest and upper legs, with a white diamond shaped belt. Her wings and antenna were in the same colour as Glimmers cape and had the same sparkles. The green Omnitrix logo was on her waist.

"Wow I actually meant to do that one." Ben said in surprise.

"Okay whats this one supposed to do?" Winter Sparkle asked.

"Glimmer you're Big Chill." Ben explained. "You can phase straight through that wall like a ghost."

"Ohh sounds easy." Winter Sparkle said as she flew over to the door but just crashed into it face first which Entrapta and Ben just grimaced at. She fell to the ground on her back.

"Okay not so easy."Winter Sparkle said. "Why didn't I go through the wall?" She then asked.

Ben just held the bridge of his nose. "Oh boy how do I explain this." He whispered to himself. "Uh just think going through the wall and you'll do it."

Winter Sparkle looked unsure but she did remember the first time she used her powers she needed to concentrate. So logically the same principle applied. She hovered near the wall and concentrated suddenly her body shifted into a pink aura that was see through and she just drifted through the wall.

Entrapta's jaw dropped in complete amazement before turning to Ben. "How does that device turn you into those creatures, is it some kind of DNA splicing process, and can that tech creature meld with tech other than my bots?!" She said excitedly.

"Uh, kind of, and yes." Ben answered however this Q&A session was interrupted by the sound of smashing, Winter Sparkle screaming and laser blasts the door was being damaged as this happened. During this Entrapta took some discreet looks and examinations of Bens Omnitrix only when he wasn't moments later Winter Sparkle emerged from the door phasing through a little bruised.

"Glimmer what, what happened?" Ben asked.

"That was not such a great plan." Winter Sparkle breathed out in exhaustion before crouching down to the ground. "The lab is very full of robots."

"How did they look?" Entrapta asked.

"Pretty evil. I couldn't get anywhere near the disc." Winter Sparkle replied.

"Wait why didn't you just…" However Ben was then cut off by a familiar wiring sound and they looked to see a large robot emerge from the door nearby who looked with deadly intent.

"Well thats not good." Ben squeaked whilst Winter Sparkle and Entrapta screamed in horror.

Meanwhile:

In another corridor deep in the castle, Bow, Rook and the kitchen staff ran down the corridor hoping to find the rest of the group. Suddenly a robot appeared from the doorway on the wall to the left.

The group stops dead in their tracks. The robot lets out a screech with bubbles pouring out of its kitchen staff scream in terror as the Butler jumps into the Bakers arms.

"Aw, he's kind of cute." Bow said the robot grabs the archer and pins him to the wall still foaming bubbles.

"Bow!" Rook exclaimed as he turned his Proto Tool into a sword and then threw it like a frisbee slicing the robots head off as it returned to him.

The robot fell to the ground deactivated as Bow was freed. "Whew thanks."

"Your welcome" Rook said but their celebrations were premature as suddenly something grabbed the Plumber and then pinned him to the floor, losing his weapon. It was another robot which also foamed at the mouth with bubbles. Rook struggled to reach for his Proto Tool.

"Uh, guys, a little help?" Bow panicked.

The Bus girl yells and tosses a plate at the robot like a frisbee which sliced the robots head clean off. Rook then lifted the robot off him and recovered his weapon.

"Good shot." Rook thanked to which the Busgirl smiled.

"Great but I don't think we're any closer to finding your friends." The Baker pointed out.

Bow looked at his tracker pad trying to pick up any signs of Glimmers magic. "They're right Rook I can't find any trace of Glimmers teleporting."

Rook then had an idea that may just work. "Maybe we need to find them another way." He said.

He pulled out his own tracker then connected it to Bows tracker pad which then turned green as Rook started transferring something to it.

"What are you doing?" Bow asked.

"I'm adding an application to your tracker pad." Rook explained. "If we can't trace any magical energies then we maybe able to lock onto Bens Omnitrix."

"Then we can find them!" Bow realised and Rook nodded in confirmation.

As he finished the code transfer the tracker pad then sounded off with a loud beep which startled the Kitchen staff.

"Please don't say it's more bots." The Butler panicked.

"No it's coming from the Omnitrix." Rook said as they looked at the tracker pad and saw a small green dot on the screen.

"Now we know where Glimmer,Ben and Adora are." Bow said in relief, however the pad also showed multiple red dots heading towards the green one. "Uh oh, that's not good."

"It would seem the robots have also detected their presence." Rook guessed.

"We have to do something, we have to save them." Bow said determined.

"Oh no, sir, no thank you." The Busgirl denied in fear.

"It's one thing to fight them off out of necessity, but to seek out danger?" The Butler questioned. "It's madness!" He waved his arms up accidentally hitting the Baker in the chin causing her to drop him. "Pardon me." He then apologised.

"Look, they're princesses, they have powers. I make baked goods." The Baker said showing a tiny loaf of bread to show her point.

"You may not have powers, but what does that matter." Rook said. "Look at me I have no powers yet I am willing to stand up and fight for what I believe in no matter the risks."

"Yeah that never stopped me either, and it doesn't have to stop you." Bow agreed.

"But you're a master archer and he's a skilled fighter with a blaster, we're just ordinary people."The Baker reminded.

"I'm a master archer who's out of arrows, and his weapon is running out of power." Bow said.

"Listen to me, to have courage to fight is not just about having powers, or wanting any glory, you fight because its the right thing to do." Rook said encouragingly. "Everyday where I am from I see people do heroic deeds with or without powers, and so can you you, if you have the courage to do so." Rook continued. "People with power always underestimate those who have none and in the end they pay for it, this is your home and now we must take it back!"

Bow was all but amazed by the Revonagander's speech clearly he had experience with this before not just fighting alongside Ben but with his own as well. It was almost as if the speech was under a spot light in the corridor surrounded by anime style bubbles.

"He's right, You each have a skill that only you can do, even if it doesn't come from some magical jewel." Bow agreed in encouragement. "You say you're just ordinary people, we say you're warriors of the Rebellion!"

The kitchen staff looked at each other and realised the two strangers were right. A wave of courage swept over them.

"TO THE REBELLION!" The Baker cheered.

Meanwhile:

Ben, Winter Sparkle, Adora and Entrapta had problems of their own, a huge horde of robots had them surrounded like a pack of wild wolves.

"Uh what do we do?!" Entrapta were not entirely sure what do, but then Ben realised the alien Glimmer was.

"Glimmer think cold and blow!" He ordered.

"What?!" Winter Sparkle said. "What good will that do?!"

"Just do it!" Ben exclaimed. Without complaining the Necrofridgen took a deep breath then breathed out again letting loose a torrent of ice cold air. It even started snowing on the inside.

The robots were instantly engulfed in the frost breeze and were instantly frozen solid in ice. Entrapta was awestruck and Winter Sparkle was all but completely taken aback whilst Adora just looked drowsy with a smile on her face.

"Whoa." Winter Sparkle gasped. "I didn't know I could do that."

"Why do you think I call him Big Chill." Ben said with a they heard an incoming noise and it was more robots heading towards them with their red eyes glowing bright.

"Lets cool them down!" Winter Sparkle said ready to freeze them again but Ben stopped her.

"Theres no time! We need to get out of here and find a way into the lab!" Ben exclaimed.

Winter Sparkle knew she could handle this but she knew they had to find a way into the lab to solve this problem permanently. With that they made a run for it. But soon Winter Sparkle (Glimmer) quickly discovered her new forms ability to fly so she quickly grabbed hold of Entrapta, Ben and Adora and flew away as fast as she could.

"You know I think I'm getting the hang of this." Winter Sparkle admitted.

They quickly turned a sharp corner and hid in a nearby door way. Ben kept his hand on Adora's mouth to keep her quiet as the robots passed by. The group peaked out to make sure the coast is clear. Suddenly a pair of red eyes emerge from the dark scaring the group so they flee for their lives. The robots maintain their pursuit of the group Winter Sparkle flies holding the group as fast as she could.

As the robot turns a corner it sees the fleeing princesses and human have disappeared. It looks around before walking away. At that moment the group emerged from the wall intangible compliments of the Necrofridgien as it turned them back to solid people.

"S-s-so cold." Entrapta shivered.

They seemed to be in the clear, however millions of red eyes emerged from the dark shadows of the doors and hallways.

"OH COME ON!" Ben exclaimed as the group fled.

The robots followed them ever still in the form of a black void with red piercing eyes. Winter Sparkle was starting to tire out from flying around so much.

"Incredible development, the bots seem to be working together." Entrapta documented in her recorder until Winter Sparkle switched it off.

"Right now, I think that's a bad thing." She said.

"Theres gotta be another way into the lab, like a back door or a ventilation shaft?" Ben suggested.

Just then Entrapta gasped in realisation. "The air duct, we can use that!"

"Which way!" Ben asked.

"That way to the right!" She signalled.

Winter Sparkle then turned a sharp right however they were greeted by more robots. She quickly turned back but saw they were surrounded.

"Okay boys FREEZE!" Winter Sparkle exclaimed and breathed a cold blast of freeze breath to freeze the robots into blocks of ice.

It seemed like the worst was over however as they crashed to the ground more robots arrived. Winter Sparkle quickly tried to freeze them but the more she froze the more came.

"They're coming faster than we can freeze them!" Ben exclaimed.

"Then stop talking and turn me into something else!" Winter Sparkle panicked as she grabbed the Omnitrix and slammed it down with her palm turning her into something else.

As the light faded Glimmer wasn't there but he looked down to see her as a light pink coloured fish with puny fins on her side, her tail fins were in the same colours as her hair and flowed almost as if the wind was blowing. She wore a lilac coloured strap belt with diamonds and a moon on the rear end. She had bright pink eyes with an underbite. The Omnitrix logo was on the centre of her belt.

She looked at herself and saw she was a small pink fish. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!"

"I don't suppose you have any other transformations in that device that could be useful right now?" Entrapta questioned with some panic.

"Not unless you want her to turn into something worse like Goop, Stinkfly or more worthless than Nanomech or Grey matter?" Ben panicked.

"I'll gladly hack that thing if you want me too!" Entrapta said with a scalpel in hand.

The robots growled and Entrapta quickly used her hair to pull everyone close together bracing themselves for their inevitable end. The robots were closing in but suddenly out of nowhere a sack of flour dropped from above and exploded blinding them. Deep in the flour smoke the robots were blinded. One was struck down by what looked like a cup cake.

"HAHA!" Emerged a voice from the flour smoke and charging in was Bow, Rook and the kitchen staff hurrying to save their comrades armed with whatever they could find.

"Its Bow and Rook!" Walkasparkle cheered.

"Yay theres a rainbow!" Adora drunkly cheered.

"Backups arrived!" Ben exclaimed.

The baker found herself facing a butler bot which threw its tray at her like a frisbee but she duck and shot icing sugar at it from the dispensers she had to Butler shook a bottle of soda pop and saw a robot standing above him. He removed the lid from the bottle and it sprayed the liquid all over it causing the bot to short circuit. It was about to attack until the Butler swatted it with the bottle smashing its head, and it fell to the stood with the Butler back to back as he handed him another bottle of fizzy drink.

"How are you doing?" He asked.

"I think I'm getting the hang of this." The Butler replied as he took the drink and charged into battle.

Two robots tried to attack the archer but he blocked their punches with a shield made from a trash can lid. He slammed the shield into the two bots then from out of nowhere Rook came in and performed a roundhouse kick knocking them back then Bow finished by flipping over him and drop kicked them to the ground.

"Nice teamwork Rook." Bow congratulated.

"Any time." Rook thanked.

However from the smoke another robot tried to ambush the two fighters screeching ready to attack. All of a sudden something wrapped a blue cloth round its head blinding it, it was the Busgirl.

"Nice!" Bow complimented as the Busgirl giggled with excitement. The archer then performed a round house kick knocking the robot into a charging group.

However more were approaching and Rook pulled something from his suit a small disk twisted the top of it and then threw it towards the robots. Upon contact on the leader it sent an electro shock straight through the robot which passed it on to the others shorting them out as they crashed to the ground.

"What was that?" Bow asked.

"Electro magnetic bomb." Rook replied. With that the group gave each other high fives.

"Great timing you guys." Ben greeted with a fist bump which Rook and Bow responded to with a fist bump of their own.

"Bow!" Called a voice he looked down and saw Walkaglimmer. "You're okay! I was so worried."

"Uh do I know…" As Bow got a good look at the alien he noticed something about it then it hit him. "Glimmer is that you?! What happened."

"Don't ask." She grumbled.

Rook then looked and noticed the long haired individual in their company and instantly guessed who this was.

"Hello you must be Princess Entrapta." Rook introduced. "My names Rook Blonko and this is my compatriot Bow."

"Big fan of your work, Princess Entrapta." Bow bowed in respect only to be creeped out by a robots severed hand on the floor, and just kicked it away. "Uh, maybe not this work, exactly, but your other work."

"Hi" Entrapta just giggled slightly as she offered her hair hand to Bow who kissed it like a gentleman should. He then noticed Adora who looked a little drowsy.

"Hi" She greeted goofily.

"You okay Adora?" Bow asked.

"Oh, yeah, sure, I'm totally…" Adora then passed out but Ben was able to catch her before she hit the ground.

"What exactly has happened here, and why does Glimmer look like one of your aliens Ben?" Rook asked confused.

"Entrapta was experimenting with First One's tech, and it infected all of her machines with some kind of virus," Walkaglimmer explained "and She-Ra's sword got infected to and made Adora all…"

They looked over and saw Adora poking Entrapta's hair which just snapped back at her on its own.

"..oh, weird." Walkaglimmer groaned.

"Yeah and that virus screwed up the Omnitrix too and Glimmers stuck as my alien forms, until I can somehow fix it." Ben added. "But if we destroy that disc it might snap Adora out of this and stop these robots."

"Then our task is clear we need to destroy that device where is it?" Rook asked.

"Its in the lab but it's full of bots and maybe with She-Ra, or even Ben able to turn me into the right alien we'd have a chance, but without that it's hopeless."Walkaglimmer said.

"We don't need She-Ra." Bow said confidently as he looked to his and Rooks team. "We can do this together."

"Indeed, with or without powers we will succeed." Rook agreed.

Entraptas lab:

Deep inside Entrapta's inner sanctum the robots stood guarding over the main computer which by now was covered with those red roots of corruption. Nearby in a trash pile Entrapta removed the air vent cover allowing her and the rest of the group to enter. They took cover behind the pile and looked through the exposed holes.

"Okay, where's the disc?" Bow asked and Entrapta pointed to where it was. The disc was glowing in the computer whilst the robots guarded it.

"How fascinating. It has completely protected itself." Entrapta whispered in astonishment.

"We have to find a way to turn it off." Bow said to the group.

"Rook, you think you can blast it from here?" Ben asked.

"Unlikely, my Proto tool does not have enough power and even so I doubt it would make a scratch on it." Rook observed. However they neglected one thing.

"Hey, guys, I've found the bots." The group looked with horrified eyes as they saw Adora drunkly walking around with her sword in hand. Ben just face palmed robots were instantly alerted and charged towards her.

"Adora!" Walkaglimmer cried, as she ran over but due to her stubby legs she tripped and began sliding across the floor.

The robots were fast approaching Adora as Ben tackled her out of the way the slippery Walkaglimmer slipped and rammed right into the robots knocking them down to the ground. She eventually crashed into the wall her eyes were spinning rather dizzy.

"Come on!" Ben exclaimed as he picked Walkaglimmer up and with her wrapped around his shoulders and Adora in hand he climbed to the top of a robots tried to reach for them with their hands. Adora screamed in terror as Ben and Walkaglimmer shushed her to shut her up.

"Glimmer, Ben!" Bow cried.

"We'll get your friends." The Baker said. "You three get that disc turned off."

"Keep them busy!" Rook suggested as Entrapta used her long hair like a rope and swung herself, Bow and Rook over to the computer whilst the bots were distracted by the rustling of the trash pile.

Then leaping into battle was the kitchen staff. The butler sprayed some of the bots with shaken fizzy drinks. Whilst the Baker swatted and smashed every bot around her with two rolling pins in her hand. Then she catapulted the Busgirl up into the air and landed on the platform next to Ben, Walkaglimmer and Adora.

"We got your backs princesses," She saluted before she tossed a spinning plate at one of the bots slicing its hand off. She then leaped into the air and kicked another bot down.

"Hey I'm a guy you know!" Ben exclaimed.

"Never mind that we need to help them, turn me into something less useless like that four armed one!" Walkaglimmer said kicking Bens leg.

Ben looked at the Omnitrix and removed the face plate to twist the hourglass dial which then changed Walkaglimmer into something else a form he recognised was now a short rounded greenish purple skin with six sprout like growths on the back of her head in the colours of her hair in normal form that remained on her head with a lighter shade of greenish purple on her face and belly with crooked teeth, with whisker like lines on her face and a tail, she has small green spots on her arms. She has bright pink eyes with the Omnitrix symbol on her looked at herself and she was an even more useless alien than before but little did she know of its powers.

"Oh great this is worse than the fish one!" Upchuck (Glimmer) said. "Whats this one supposed to do?"

"Eat something." Ben said which just put a raised eye brow if she had them on her face.

"Literally eat something anything!" Ben explained and the short alien looked around and then out of nowhere took a large bite out of the structure she was standing on and ate it.

"Gah thats gross!" She groaned.

"Now spit!" Ben instructed.

"WHAT?" Upchuck exclaimed disgusted.

"I know, it's not princess like just do it thats how Upchucks powers work!" Ben exclaimed.

Without questioning it Upchuck just spat out a large pink energy ball which blasted the robot it hit to pieces.

"Whoa! Cool!" Upchuck gasped. "Gross but cool!"

"Then go eat up those bots sister!" Ben cheered and so Upchuck leaped into battle eating every bot around it and then spitting up more energy balls destroying the bots around her.

Ben meanwhile was still working to try and fix the omnitrix. Suddenly more robots arrived in the room the Baker attacked one with her rolling pin whilst the Busgirl tossed a plate at another slicing its arm off which was then eaten by Upchuck who then spat it at another robot.

"Come on how do I fix this?!" Ben groaned.

"Ooo hey maybe turn it off and on again." Adora said rather drunk. "Ooo pretty green lights." She then collapsed to the ground.

However though she wasn't in her right mind it gave Ben an idea one he never thought of before.

"Oh man I am such an idiot why didn't I think of it sooner!" Ben exclaimed. He looked at the Omnitrix before speaking.

"Omnitrix, voice command mode code 10." Ben said.

"User recognition Ben Tennyson recognised voice command authorised." The omnitrix said in its computer voice.

"Diagnostic." Ben ordered.

"Foreign malware corrupting multiple systems immediate action required." The Omnitrix reported.

"Can it be fixed?" Ben questioned.

"Affirmative hard reset will purge malware shall we commence?" Omnitrix asked.

"Omnitrix hard reset." Ben ordered.

"Hard reset in progress." The Omnitrix then glowed green and the red roots that were on it suddenly burned off it before the watch returned to its normal colour. "Hard reset complete, foreign malware purged."

The alien selection disc then appeared. "Omnitrix systems fully operational." The hour glass dial appeared ready to use.

"Okay here goes nothing!" Ben slammed down the dial and was consumed by a bright green light.

Meanwhile Upchuck was still spitting and destroying bots that surrounded her. Just then a bright green flash changed Glimmer back to her normal form. She looked over herself and saw the hourglass symbol wasn't there.

"Ha I'm back!" Glimmer exclaimed in joy. She then tried to use her powers and sure enough balls of sparkling energy emerged. "Powers and all!"

Suddenly she found herself surrounded by more robots and was about to attack. Then out of nowhere the robots started to float into the air, the princess was surprised she then turned and saw what looked like a living planet with bulky arms and legs, rocky reddish brown skin and a large mouth with teeth and green eyes, his stomach was a large molten like core with three toes on his feet and three fingers with one thumb. He wore green and black shorts with a green belt with white stripes and a familiar looking hourglass symbol resided on his head.

"Guess who managed to fix the watch and get his powers back." Gravattack smirked as he used his gravity powers to send the robots flying into the walls.

Entrapta Bow and Rook soon reached the computer and tried to pull off the roots to get to the disc but they were immoveable.

"That's not gonna work." Bow observed. "How do we shut the computer down?"

"Is there a main conduit somewhere?" Rook asked.

"Yes over here!" Entrapta said as the three of them hurried over to the power conduit and together pulled with all their might until it was pulled free and the power began shutting down.

"Ha ha!" Bow exclaimed as the computer shut down. The crisis it seems seemed to be at an end.

However its never so easy as the disc lit up and energised the roots, they were beating almost like blood vessels inside a human heart. The computer screens switched back on and the robots suddenly drew their attention away from the Kitchen staff, Glimmer and Gravattack, and started walking towards the computer.

"You dumb bots, you're going the wrong way! Guys, watch out!" Glimmer exclaimed.

"Something is wrong!" Rook exclaimed.

"Uh, why isn't the computer turning off?" Bow panicked. But Entrapta could only laugh in amazement.

"It's running on its own power now!" She laughed in amazement. "That's it. We need to get outta here and burn this place to the ground. Experiment officially failed."

Bow tried to find another way to stop this for good, in that moment he noticed his quiver had one arrow left and when he looked at Rook they both had the same idea.

"Wait, I have an idea." Bow decided. Entrapta screamed as the robots were close to nearly catching them. She span her hair out and swung herself, Bow and Rook to safety.

"Bow do it now!" Rook cried.

"Now's your chance, sonic arrow!" Bow exclaimed as he fired it from his bow. "I believe in you!"

The arrow flew through the air and struck the disc straight in the centre and sounded off a wave of sonic sounds, which for robots that are drawn to sound was like a magnet as they sparked with electricity then moved to the computer and struck it with their fists hitting it until it eventually exploded, deactivating the bots for good and reverting them back to normal free of the wasn't just the robots Glimmer teleported up to Adora and brought her down from the structure she was groaning and her eyes blinked red for a moment before reverting back to her normal blue coloured eyes.

"Adora?" Gravattack asked.

"Where am I?" Adora groaned "What's happening?"

The roots on the sword then disappeared and the runestone on it reverted back to its normal aqua blue Best Friend Squad came in together for a group hug hugging Adora as did Gravattack.

"Good to have you back Adora." he said just as the Omnitrix timed out and reverted him back to Ben.

"So what the heck happened, it's a little fuzzy." Adora said.

"Its a long story we'll tell you later." Glimmer simply said. They then turned to Entrapta.

"Thanks, former tall one, and companions, for saving our lives." Entrapta thanked circling her hair fingers a little sheepishly. "I would be honoured to join your Rebellion and provide you with weapons."

The squad smiled as it seemed their recruitment mission was a success.

"Glad to have you on board." Ben thanked. "And one more thing, how'd you like to help rebuild an alien space ship that brought me and my partner to Etheria." Ben then added.

The very mention of that caused Entrapta's eye to twitch as she gasped in excitement and pulled Ben in with her hair hands shaking his shoulders.

"YOU HAVE AN AILIEN SPACE SHIP!" She exclaimed excitedly. "WHERE IS IT?! CAN I SEE IT!?"

Rook did have a look of concern for Ben as he'd just said the magic word to start the tech princess's geek fest. The group then turned their attention to the Kitchen staff.

"Thanks, guys." Bow thanked. "You saved us all back there." The small group felt honoured by that remark. "The Rebellion needs regular people now more than ever."

"With your talent, and heart we shall stop the Horde once and for all." Rook added.

"We are ready." The Busgirl said as she flung a plate into the air for the Butler to spray some fizzy drink into the air destroying the plate.

The group seemed proud of their latest recruits, suddenly Glimmer groaned as she felt a sudden pain in her stomach.

"Glimmer are you alright?" Adora asked.

"Uhh I don't feel so good." Glimmer groaned then all of a sudden she hiccuped and out of her mouth came a metal bolt which hit the ground. She covered her mouth in shock.

The rest of the group were frozen in both shock and confusion. Bow looked to his friend and was about to say something until.

"Not. One. Word!" Glimmer warned.

Soon the group set off for home, but during the journey Bow was feeling a little smug.

"So, maybe you had a point before." Glimmer sheepishly admitted.

"What? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you." Bow said rather boastful whilst Glimmer just glared. Ben wanted to enjoy this but couldn't as he had been in their shoes once before.

"I think what Glimmer is trying to say is that you and the boys were right, we can't always rely on our powers." Adora said as she held her sword.

"Ooohhh, is that what you were trying to say Glimmer?" Bow said smugly "That we were right?"

"Yes." Glimmer admitted through her teeth.

"And mine and Rooks idea for sonic arrow was a great idea?" Bow said.

"One that saved our lives." Rook added.

"Yes, it was brilliant, and you were totally right, okay?" Glimmer said giving Bow a noogie as he laughed.

"Ah don't take it so hard girls it's a lesson I've had to learn a few times too, having powers is cool but its when we choose to use them that counts." Ben put in.

"True and how we should never as Ben put it judge a book by it's cover, and even an underestimated idea can come through in the end." Rook agreed.

"He's right." Adora then said. "If you hadn't come, the bots would have gotten us for sure. And, I didn't know that She-Ra could get sick like that."

"Hey hey it's okay Adora, we all make mistakes even me." Ben said. "I'm gonna let you in on a secret. Don't tell Perfuma, but when I first got the Omnitrix, I kinda sort of uh…set a forest on fire." He sheepishly admitted.

"WHAT!" Everyone shouted.

"Hey sue me I was a kid back then, I got over excited with my powers." Ben admitted. "I have since then learned not to use Heatblast while in a forest. Or to try and use Rip Jaws to go on a waterslide."

"I believe the point that Ben is trying to make is that we can make mistakes when we know very little about ones abilities." Rook continued. "Even more so knowing now how First Ones tech can affect not only She-Ra but also the Omnitrix."

"I guess." Adora said but still was a little unsure of herself. "But, What if it happens again?"

"It won't." Bow said putting an assuring hand on her shoulder. "We destroyed that evil, She-Ra and Omnitrix hating disc."

"Good I never want to feel that way again." Adora admitted a little happier.

"Yeah but for a while it was kinda funny you acting weird and all." Ben joked. "Man if only I had a camera."

"On a new note Ben, I guess I have to give you some credit, I never realised how hard this alien stuff really is." Glimmer admitted.

"Oh after all that I bet I'll get the right alien, but hey we all…"

"Or how some of your powers are totally disgusting!" Glimmer then interrupted Bens gloating. "I mean what kind of alien eats stuff then spits it out as exploding goop balls!" She then held her stomach as it groaned. "And I still have a bad stomach ache."

"Yeah that happened the first time I used Upchuck when I was ten, you get used to it after a while." Ben explained. "But in the end thats what Azmuth built the Omnitrix for in a way."

"Azmuth?" Adora noted. "Who's Azmuth?"

"Azmuth is the revered creator of the Omnitrix, and the smartest being in four, maybe five galaxies." Rook explained.

"Yeah he basically makes Entrapta look like an amateur." Ben added. "But he created the watch to promote peace in the galaxy, give the one who uses it a chance to walk a mile in the shoes of other races."

"Oh I get it so if someone has no idea how another species copes they can just use it to see things from their perspective." Bow guessed.

"Exactly." Rook said.

"Wow I never really thought about it like that." Glimmer realised.

"Yeah I never did though when I decided to use it as a weapon to help people." Ben admitted.

"Well in a way your still promoting the idea of peace by protecting those who can't protect themselves." Adora pointed out.

"I guess so." Ben smiled.

"Anyway thanks for saving us Bow, you too Rook." Glimmer thanked.

"All in a day's work for Bow, Rook and their band of Kitchen Knights!" Bow said standing like the hero of the day. "Their Baking Brigade! Pastry Patrol! I'm still working that out."

"Indeed, and we inspired more people to join the cause of the rebellion." Rook agreed.

"But if it helps Bow I totally would have gone for the Bow squad or the Culinary Cavalry!" Ben dramatised.

The girls just giggled in amusement However their naming contest was interrupted when whilst passing by some boulders. Glimmer eyed something.

"Oh, look at that rock just staring at us." Glimmer pointed out hinting. "Boy, that rock really needs smashing. And since She-Ra's not sick anymore, she should probably smash it!"

"Ha ha!" Adora cried ready to smash some rocks however Bow, Rook and Ben just looked with raised eyebrows.

"What? it's practise." Adora shrugged before charging at the rocks and Glimmer wasn't far behind teleporting.

"FOR THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL!" Adora turned into She-Ra and started smashing rocks with her sword. Whilst all the boys could do was watch and shake their heads rolling their eyes.

"They never learn do they." Rook said.

"Some people never do." Ben agreed. Just then Bow realised something.

"You know Ben I just realised." He said. "The Omnitrix malfunctioned and gave Glimmer your transformations right? So did you even check to see if you got her powers?"

"AW… MAN!" Ben exclaimed slapping his forehead never thinking of seeing if he did get Glimmers powers in all the confusion.

Back at Dryl:

Entrapta sat quietly on a pile of broken trash and remains of her old robots. She was recording the findings of her experiment despite todays chaos.

"Log. Day 105. 104? Eh. The last experiment hit a few bumps, but it was not a total failure." She stood up and slid down the pile making her way to the main computer. "I made some important discoveries. The disc is way more powerful than I ever imagined."

She began assembling her tools and picking up the pieces of the shattered First Ones disc. "With a few adjustments, I'm sure the next experiment will be a success."

She lowered her welding mask and started to piece the destroyed First Ones tech back together again, piece by piece. She worked to weld them together, for despite the dangers presented to day one sees chaos where another sees opportunity to discover untapped potential. However it is said that curiosity can get the better of us should we tread too recklessly.

Authors notes: Some people really never learn do they, something tells me we haven't seen the last of that First Ones disc just yet. Now Glimmer knows what it's like to deal with some of Bens aliens, this was a reference to the Ultimate Alien Episode Inspector 13 where Gwen and Kevin got stuck as Bens aliens when the Ultimatrix malfunctioned. I thought it would be funny to see things from that perspective. In terms of the First Ones tech affecting the Omnitrix and how it could be fixed without destroying the disc, we all know Azmuth the first thinker that he is prepares for all eventualities so when he built the Omnitrix he put in safe guards in case under attack from unknown programming such as a hard reset would purge the First Ones code.

Hope that makes some sort of in case anyone got confused I used the aliens, Diamond head, Fourarms, Kicken Hawk, Walkatrout, Big Chill and Upchuck when Glimmer was stuck as them and named them. Diamond Glimmer, Glimarms, Glimmerhawk, Winter Sparkle and Walkaglimmer. I kept Upchucks name the same given I couldn't think of a name that suited Glimmer.

But otherwise onto the next chapter where its a relaxing getaway to Mysticor but a dark shadowy secret follows them there and it'll be the first time Ben encounters a certain dark sorceress. Until then.

FOR THE HONOUR OF GREYSKULL!
