"So, did you find anything?" Jen asked while wiping off her makeup. Artgit sighed "Yeah, but you aren't gonna like it." he said. Jen frowned then there was a knock on her and Argit's door. "Dinner is done, I made burgers," Alan called through the door. "Food!" Argit was up and out the door before Jen could blink. Jen chuckled and went down to the kitchen with Alan following.

The next night the team was in the trailer park where Max lived. Jen was fixing the RV with Argit lying beside her, Alan was grilling hot dogs, and Gwen and Kevin were talking about a dance coming up at Gwen's school. "Why do girls talk about things like this months ahead of time?" Argit asked, Jen just shrugged.
"So, how is it living in that warehouse, Alan?" Gwen asked. "Oh, it's great, I have my room, and plenty of entertainment, it's awesome," Alan said and plated the hot dogs. "How did you even get the warehouse here?" Kevin asked looking over to where Jen and Argut were lying under the RV. "With a lot of focus, effort, and a spell," Jen said, moving out from under the RV. "Yeah, she was so drained she blacked out. Me and Alan had to carry her inside." Argut said and his ear twitched and his eyes sparkled.
Everyone followed Argit's gaze. A woman was sitting outside a camper, she was wearing a lovely pearl necklace. "Mine!" Argit began moving toward the woman, fast. "No!" "Argit stop!" "Jen, stop him." Alan, Gwen, and Kevin all ran to try and catch Argit before it was too late. Jen quickly got in the RV and used her plumber badge to start the backup engine. Jen you out of the trailer park, the others too distracted by Argit's diversion to notice.
"Give it back!" Gwen yelled, trying to catch Argit with her energy beams. Argit kept dodging, he needed to keep them distracted for as long as possible. Argit scurried deeper into the trailer park and slid under a trailer, this would serve as a good place to wait.
~~~~~~~~~
Jen sat with her feet propped up, waiting for Argit. There was a flash from the back and Jen turned in her seat just in time to see Argit run to the bathroom. "Argit?" the sound of vomiting was all Jen got in return. Jen frowned reached into her bag and pulled out a thermos, handing it to Argit when he emerged from the bathroom. "Thanks," Argut said and downed the liquid inside.
"I hate teleportation," Argit said and set the thermos on the table. "I know, but it was the best option," Jen said. "Fair, now let's see what we got to work with," Argit said and Jen used her badge and revealed a bunch of hidden weapons. "Oh, this is nice," Argit said and picked up one of the weapons, examining it. "Reminds me of the one we tried to make when we academically blew up half of you know who's home," Jen said with a chuckle. Argit chuckled as well and put the gun back.
"So, think he'll take it from us?" Jen asked. Argit nodded with a nervous look. "Argit, you okay?" Jen asked. Argit didn't answer and instead shot some quills at Jen, paralyzing her. "Sorry Jen, but this is for the best." Argit carried Jen out of the RV and laid her down. "Argit, what are you doing?" Jen asked through gritted teeth. "It's for the best Jen," Argit said and quickly took off with the RV.
Jen growled and her eyes glowed brightly as she tried to transform. The more Jen tried, the more drowsy and dizzy she got. 'Crap!' Jen thought before blacking out.
It wasn't long after Jen blacked out that her car pulled up. Gwen filed out, her eyes glowing with anger. "What is wrong with you!?" Kevin and Alan quickly approached and Alan removed the quills from Jen's body. "Gwen, let's hear Jen out first," Alan said, helping Jen sit up. Gwen raged even more "Hear her out!!? She stole my grandpa's home!" Gwen screeched and Kevin wrapped her in a hug, preventing her from pouncing on Jen. "With good reason, Princess," Jen said and stood up, swaying slightly.
"There is no good reason to steal!" Gwen tossed an energy disc at Jen. "Whoa!" Alan tackled Jen out of the way. "Gwen, calm down!" Kevin snapped and Jen took the chance to go after Argit. Quickly snatching one of the quills Jen took jumped in her car and took off, tracking Argut. As Jen drove she could hear Gwen going crazy.
~~~~~~~~~
Jen pulled up to an old garage, it was spray painted, and there was a dead flower garden, broken windows, and other things. "So many good memories," Jen muttered and got out, walking inside. Jen muttered a steel and and glowing green sphere floated from her hand and illuminated the room. Argit was nowhere in sight, but the RV was sitting there perfectly fine.
There was a sudden grip on Jen's shoulder. Jen quickly turned around and shot an energy blast, sending Kevin flying. "...oops." Gwen and Alan looked back at Jen with looks. "You good?" Alan asked, looking back over at Kevin. Kevin gave a thumbs-up before dropping his arms to the side.
"Where is my grandpa's RV, and your little boyfriend?" Gwen asked, glaring at Jen. "Whoa! He is not my boyfriend." Jen said, glaring back. "Kevin!" Alan called, not wanting to be the one to break the girls up.
"Uh-oh." Jen looked over her shoulder and saw Argit with a big crate. "You!" Gwen lunged at Argit, but Jen was quick to tackle her to the side. "Don't touch him!" Jen hissed. Argit quickly ran outside and peeked back in from behind the door, as did Kevin and Alan. Energy and spells were going everywhere, but Jen was quick to take Gwen out by putting her in the sleeper. Jen stood up and huffed turning her attention to Argit.
"Jen, let me explain, this was the safest option for you," Argit said putting his hands up. Jen groaned "Argit, you can't just do things like this, I honestly thought you were abandoning me." Jen said moving closer and shoving Argit lightly. "Jen, is never abandon you, but I do seriously worry about you. Who knows what he'll do if you show up" Argit said, lightly shoving Jen back. Jen groaned "Argit, I'm not the same little girl I used to be, I don't need you to big brother me as much." Jen said, crossing her arms. "I know, but I'm still going to," Argit said and jabbed Jen in the said.
Alan and Kevin glanced at each other, not sure what they should do. "You could of at least told me, we could have worked out a different plan," Jen said and Argit sighed knowing he had been bested. "I guess you're right...next time we will," Argit said and held up his pinkie. Jen smiled and locked her pinkie with Argit's, the two shook and then hugged.
"Aww" Jen and Argit looked over to Kevin and Alan who were still watching. Jen sighed "We better tell them." Argit nodded.
~~~~~~~~~
Jen lifted everyone over the chain link fence into the airplane yard. "Let me do the talking," Argit said and pulled Jen's hoods up to hide her face and moved her to the back. Jen sighed and they all followed Argit deeper into the plane yard. Jen and Gwen sensed hundreds of aliens around them and one jumped out in front of them. "Take us to the boss," Argit said and the alien shattered and led them to a big door.
Jen pulled her hood down a little further and the door was opened. An old enemy stood inside and everyone tensed up. Vulkanus glared at the group, a deep growl coming from his throat. "Hey, Vulkanus," Argit said with a hint of nervousness. "Argit, you and your girl scammed me good a few years back. I don't know if I should trade with you or tear you apart." Vulkanus said and Jen gulped.
"I'm aware, but we are here to trade," Argit said and Vulkanus pulled out a familiar piece of tech. Gwen gasped, it was another holo-message, most likely from Grandpa Max. "What are you going to give me for it?" Vulkanus asked and Argit inhaled. "Could we-" "You want to owe me!?" Vulkanus snapped and everyone stepped back.
"What do we have to do to get it?" Kevin asked. Vulkanus looked past him to Jen and smirked. Argit was quick to move in front of Jen. Vulkanus swatted them all aside and grabbed Jen, forcing her to kneel. A machine rose around Jen and thick wires came down, stabbing into Jen's body. Vulkanus placed a crystal into the machine and then switched it on. Jen screamed at was forced to transform and the crystal began growing from her body.
The minions began mining and Jen screamed out in pain. "You two are going to pay me back for the trouble cross, and for the tech," Vulkanus said and two shackles emerged, holding Jen in place.
"Let her go!!" Argit charged and pounced on Vulkanus, latching onto his face with his claws. "Wait for us!" Alan charged in his Pyronite form and Kevin transformed into a small white creature that duplicated and sounded electronic. They all pounced on Vulkanus and made him fall.
"Gwen. help. Jen." Kevin said in his electronic voice. "On it." Gwen rushed over and began shutting the machine off. "No!" Vulkanus swung his arms and sent the boys flying. "Watch out," Jen warned and Gwen dodged Valkanus's attack. "Leave. them. alone!" Kevin said and formed a small wall in front of the girls. "Meet. Sonic sound." Kevin said and they all screamed. Everyone, save Jen, covered their ears, anyone who didn't was knocked out.
Vulkanus collapsed and dropped the holo-message, and a silver heart locket fell from his pocket. Kevin grabbed the message and Argit snatched the locket up and rushed over to Jen. Gwen was already shutting the machine off and Alan melted the cuffs. Jen slowly returned to normal and collapsed, unconscious. "We need to get her home." Kevin picked Jen up and they all headed back to Jen's car.
~~~~~~~~~
Jen sat up and groaned, clutching her head. "You're up." Jen looked over and saw Kevin, Gwen, Alan, and Argut sitting around in her and Argut's room. "Did we win?" Jen asked and Gwen nodded. "We wanted to make sure you were okay." Kevin said and Jen smiled, "Thanks," she said. "We'll you ya later." Kevin said and he and Gwen left. "I'll handle breakfast tomorrow and you can have breakfast in bed." Alan said and headed to his room.
Jen collapsed back on the bed and Argit laid beside her. "Here." Argit held the locket over Jen's face and her eyes widened. "How?" "It fell from Vulkanus's pocket, must of had one of his minions take it." Argit said and Jen put the locket in. Jen smiled and clutched the locket in her hands tightly. "Thanks, Argit." Jen said. Argit smiled and nodded, then the two settled into a nice silence.
