Orion was send flying thorugh several buildings on New Genesis, as soon as he got up he received an uppercut from Negative Atomix that send him flying to one of the moon of the planet. He was badly injured with blood gushing out of his mouth. He tried to attack Albedo with his last strength but to no avail Albedo just ignored his attack and struck his stomach with a supercharged punch killing him instantly.
Eon's army of Techadon Robots and Time Knights advanced methodically, leaving destruction in their wake. High Father stood resolute in the palace, knowing he faced a nearly insurmountable threat. Eon, with his malicious grin, approached him, turning the guards into dust with a mere wave of his hand. The Life Equation formula, a coveted and powerful secret, was now in Eon's possession.
High Father's eyes blazed with defiance. "You may have taken the Life Equation, but you'll never truly understand its power."Eon chuckled darkly. "We'll see about that." Turning to Albedo, now back in his human form after an intimidating display as a dragon, Eon issued the next phase of their plan.
"Now what do we do with it?" Albedo asked, his voice laced with anticipation and malevolence.
"We pay Paradox a visit," Eon responded, his grin widening. "He brought the heroes from the other multiverse here, and it's time he pays the price."
Meanwhile, on Ben's Earth, the atmosphere was tense as Ben and the Justice League heroes discussed their next steps.
Paradox took Nightwing, Miss Martian, her Sister, Superboy, Kid Flash (Bart), Blue Beetle, TIgress, Zatanna, Robin, Static, El Dorado, Aquamen (Kaldur'ahm), Arsenal and Terra were the ones he managed to grab.
Undertown has developed a lot since when Ben discovered it, now there are human and alien interactions and there are quite nice.
Meghan was shcoked to see that there could be a alien civiliazation that can coexist among humanity, it was quite incredible to withness such a city like Undertown.
"Aaaah! This place is amazing! Alien products beign available on earth, this is like a dream!
Her sister excited spoke "Uncle John would love this place!"
Superboy also was intrigued since this seemed to be something the Genomorphs would want to accomplish.
"Only if Dubbilex could see this…"
Nightwing tried to get to the point with Paradox "This place is cool and all, but you still haven't told us why Ben deleted our memories of him"
Paradox chuckled "Really Richard, I took you for the smartest one best to your mentor Bruce, that name answear many questions"
Nightwing still a bit surprised that Pardox knew his name"Of course… Now I remember Batman paranoia reached new heights even for him, no wonder Ben have deleted everyone memory of him, Batman would've easily found out."
Kid Flash (Bart) ran towards Paradox with a big question on his mind "Dude why didn't my friends from the future didn't do anything for this crisis event?'
Paradox left out a remark "Probably because, Brainiac-5 is smart enough to know they are no match for Eon, and the Celestialsapien that is throwing him a bone, let me tell you somethings about Ben's Omniverse"
After 10 minutes where Paradox tried to give them a run down of the Multiverse.
Blue Beetle gave his opinions after "Dude, Ben's Multiverse is whack"
"Believe me," Paradox responded, "yours is even more whack. This Multiverse is actually quite organized. Even if I don't like universes with messed up physics, they are separated between them by the Box."
Tigress tried to speed up things "Paradox, can you convince Ben to help us"
Paradox left out a snarck "Oh, he would save your universe, but it's up to him if he teams with you guys."
A pink rabbit with metallic eyes harassed Static to buy some of his tentacle on stick "Eww brother… Eww" Static was grossed out.
Kid Flash cut off a que for Tiffin flavored cookies 'This are the best, we need this in our world"
A Plumber truck entered the scene "You right there, you are arrresting for stealing ilegal food"
"Why would food be illigal?" Asked Tigress as she drew her crossbow.
Paradox facepalmed "It's made out of alien babies" As soon as Paradox said that Bart nearly puked out and fainted. "Anyways good luck kids" Paradox vanished.
Nightwing dodged some laser fire from the Plumbers, throwing boomerangs and knocking out two of them. Blue Beetle launched an EMP device to disable the Plumber truck temporarily, but it was shot down by a Plumber.
Nightwing quickly took charge, his tactical mind racing. "We need to find a safe place to regroup."
Miss Martian, still marveling at the diversity of the alien products, nodded and telepathically relayed the message to the team. "Everyone, Nightwing's right. Let's move!"
Kid Flash, recovering from his near-puke experience, after eating those cookies. shook his head in disbelief. "Alien babies? Seriously? We really need to figure out the rules of this place."
Helen suddenly tackled Kid Flash to the ground, shocking him. He used molecular vibration to stab her in the stomach. She felt sick, retreated, looked at her arm, and managed to replicate his attack, rushing back to do the same to him.
Superboy fought Manny, who matched him in power. Eventually, Superboy delivered a four-arm uppercut, sending Manny crashing into the ceiling of Undertown.
Nightwing, Tigress, and Arsenal had an easier time dealing with the Plumber soldiers.
Alan Albright was winning against Miss Martian and her sister due to their weaknesses.
Tigress managed to defeat Molly Gunther, clearing the immediate threat around them.
Miss Martian tried to use her telepathy to incapacitate Alan Albright, but his unique physiology resisted her efforts. Alan then hit her with a concentrated burst of energy, knocking her unconscious. Superboy, distracted by Manny, was unable to come to her aid in time.
Blue Beetle found himself up against Cooper Daniels, a technopath. Jaime's scarab tried to adapt, but Cooper's mastery over technology allowed him to bypass its defenses. Cooper sent a wave of electronic pulses that disabled the scarab's systems, leaving Jaime vulnerable. Cooper then restrained him using advanced Plumber tech.
Superboy, enraged by Miss Martian's capture, lashed out at Manny with all his strength. However, the battle had taken its toll on him, and Manny, capitalizing on an opening, struck Superboy down with a powerful blow. Plumbers quickly moved in to restrain him with specialized cuffs designed to suppress his abilities.
Nightwing, Tigress, and Arsenal, realizing their allies were in serious trouble, regrouped and formulated a plan to free them. They ducked behind cover as the Plumber reinforcements advanced.
"We need to create a diversion," Nightwing whispered urgently. "Arsenal, can you rig something explosive?"
Arsenal nodded, quickly assembling a makeshift explosive device from his gear. "Give me a minute."
Tigress scanned the area, assessing the positions of their enemies. "We need to hit them hard and fast, or we risk losing them."
Arsenal finished his work and handed the device to Nightwing. "Ready when you are."Nightwing nodded, taking the device. "On my signal, create as much chaos as possible. We need to draw their attention away from our friends."
As Nightwing prepared to throw the device, Cooper Daniels approached the captured heroes, taunting them. "You thought you could come here and disrupt everything? You underestimated us."
With a determined look, Nightwing hurled the explosive device toward a cluster of Plumbers and vehicles. The resulting explosion sent debris flying and created a thick cloud of smoke.
Nightwing, using his acrobatic skills, navigated through the chaos and reached Miss Martian first. He quickly released her restraints. "M'gann, can you hear me?" He was struck by Helen and tackled down.
Max, wielding a Plumber blaster, fired a precise shot, hitting El Dorado and Arsenal, knocking them out instantly. Rook, armed with his Proto-Tool, launched an fire projectile that hit Meghan's Sister , rendering her unconscious as well.
"Hold it right there!" Max commanded, his voice firm and authoritative.
Terra, Robin and Static immediately sprang into action, positioning themselves protectively in front of Miss Martian and the remaining team members.
Terra, Robin, and Static immediately sprang into action, positioning themselves protectively in front of Miss Martian and the remaining team members.
"We won't go down without a fight," Terra declaredas she prepared to manipulate the earth beneath her feet.
Robin pulled out his staff, spinning it expertly as he surveyed the situation.
Static generated a field of electricity around his hands, ready to defend his friends.
Max raised his blaster, preparing to fire, but Zatanna had had enough. With a determined look, she raised her hands and incanted in her magical language. "Dnes ruos seimene gniylf drawot hcae rehto ot kconk sevlesmeht tuo" she chanted in reverse
A surge of magical energy flowed from her, rippling through the air towards Max and Rook and the Plumber Helpers.
In an instant, Max, Helen, Manny, Alan and Rook were lifted off their feet, propelled by an unseen force. They collided mid-air, their weapons clattering to the ground as they were momentarily stunned by the impact.
Terra took advantage of the brief moment of confusion. She stomped the ground, causing a wave of earth to rise up and form a protective barrier around her teammates. "We've got to move quickly! This won't hold them for long."
Max and the plumbers are starting shaking off the effects of Zatanna's spell, began to recover. Max looked at the heroes, with frustration. "Perhaps you should be one of our own magicians." Max said with a grin on his face.
Robin nodded, assessing the situation. "Alright, we should tap into their comunicator we may find where Ben lives based on this"
Before anyone could respond, a new presence entered the battlefield—Verdona, Ben's grandmother, and an exceptionally powerful Anodite. Her arrival was marked by a surge of mana energy that crackled in the air
.
With a wave of her hand, Verdona unleashed a series of mana blasts. Each blast struck true, instantly incapacitating almost all of the Young Justice members except for Zatanna. The battlefield fell silent as the remaining fighters took in the scene.
Verdona smiled, her eyes glowing with mana energy. "You're brave, young one. Let's see what you've got."
Zatanna began to chant, her voice resonating with power. "Sevlesruoy tcele ot!" She sent a wave of magical energy towards Verdona, aiming to disorient her.
Verdona effortlessly deflected the spell, her mana shielding her from its effects. "Impressive, but you'll need more than that to take me down."
Zatanna narrowed her eyes, determination flashing in them. She knew she had to think quickly. Summoning her inner strength, she cast another spell. "Yortsed eht sserecros fo siht noisnemid!"
A large mass of destructive force formed in front of Zatanna and hurtled towards Verdona. The Anodite's eyes widened slightly as she recognized the power behind the spell. She raised her hands, creating a powerful mana barrier to absorb the impact.
Verdona effortlessly deflected the spell, her mana shielding her from its effects. "Impressive, but you'll need more than that to take me down."
Zatanna narrowed her eyes, determination flashing in them. She knew she had to think quickly. Summoning her inner strength, she cast another spell. "Snoitcurtsed fo ssa fo sretem a nimoD!"
A large mass of destructive force formed in front of Zatanna and hurtled towards Verdona. The Anodite's eyes widened slightly as she recognized the power behind the spell. She raised her hands, creating a powerful mana barrier to absorb the impact. It did nothing to her.
"Not bad at all," Verdona said, genuinely impressed. "But it's time to end this."
Before Zatanna could react, Verdona summoned a swirling vortex of mana and launched it at her.
Zatanna tried to counter it with a spell, but the raw power of Verdona's attack was overwhelming. The vortex enveloped Zatanna, lifting her off her feet and slamming her into the ground.
As the dust settled, Zatanna lay on the ground, defeated but conscious. Verdona approached her, extending a hand. "You have great potential."
Verdona lifted her in the air with her magic, she flew to the skies with her, to see if she might have any anodite spark in her, but to no avail. Verdona smirked at the sight
"What are you doing?" Zatanna managed to gasp, feeling the pressure around her increase.
"I need to see if there's any Anodite spark within you," Verdona replied coolly.
With another wave of her hand, Verdona with a blast of mana blasted Zatanna's clothes, searching for any sign of Anodite energy. Zatanna's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and anger, but she couldn't break free from the powerful mana grip. Verdona could see through her entire body and spirt.
After a thorough examination, Verdona's smirk grew wider. "No Anodite spark, but you're certainly a powerful sorceress in your own right."
Zatanna glared at her, feeling humiliated and violated. "That was unnecessary."
Verdona lowered her back to the ground gently, the mana grip releasing her. "Perhaps, but now I know for sure. Your power is your own. Nice pair by the way could've fooled you made your own body"
Zatanna, seething with a mix of humiliation and anger, quickly ran behind a wall she was to angre to focus on a spell for her clothes she covered her chest and breast. Verdona felt some pity and seeing Zatanna's distress, Verdona's expression softened slightly.
With a wave of her hand, Verdona conjured an outfit made of anodite energy, that then became similar to a purple silk sorceress dress which gently floated over to Zatanna, enveloping her in a shimmering, elegant dress. "Here," Verdona said, her tone less harsh. "This should do for now. I didn't mean to embarrass you, but I had to be sure."
Zatanna took a deep breath, still angry but grateful for the new clothes. "Next time, just ask," she said through gritted teeth as she stepped out from behind the wall.
Max, sensing the need to de-escalate the situation, stepped forward. "Alright, Lady, you and your asscoates are arreste.
Zatanna, still adjusting to the unexpected change of events, stood tall and faced Max. "Arrested? For what? We were defending ourselves!"
Max shook his head. "You attacked us first, disrupted the peace in Undertown, and now you're responsible for a lot of damage. Regardless of your intentions, you and your team need to answer for your actions."
The Young Justice team exchanged uneasy glances. They had come here seeking assistance, not a confrontation with the Plumbers. Superboy, his fists clenched, took a step forward. "We didn't come here to fight you. We need Ben's help to stop a major threat in our universe."
Verdona, still watching Zatanna with a curious eye then looked at Max "Darling, please help them"
Max considered their words, the weight of the situation pressing down on him. "Alright," he finally said. "But first, we need to secure you all and make sure there are no further incidents."
Rook stepped forward, his expression serious. "We'll escort you to a secure location where we can discuss this further."
The team, though reluctant, agreed. They knew they needed the Plumbers' cooperation to get to Ben and ultimately protect their universe from Eon's schemes. As they were led away, Zatanna whispered to Nightwing, "We need to find a way to convince them.
Nightwing nodded, determination in his eyes. "We'll figure it out"
After 10 minutes they arrived at the Plumbers HQ.
Back at Plumbers HQ, the team was escorted to their cells and with Force Field Cuffs and Power cancelling triara.
"Man, that's crash," Kid Flash (Bart) exclaimed, admiring the efficiency of the facility. "They keep their prisoners at their base. I bet they have a hard time escaping."
Grandpa Max chuckled, shaking his head. "Not if Chadzmuth has anything to say about it."
Kid Flash looked puzzled. "Chadzmuth?"
Grandpa Max nodded. "Chadzmuth is the Universe top legal expert. He works as a intergalactic defense attorney. With his legal expertise, our prisoners can go out easily."
Just then, Chadzmuth himself entered the room, a small but imposing figure with a confident stride. "Max, I heard you were talking about me," he said with a grin.
Max face palmed "Here we go"
Chadzmuth raised a hand, stopping Max. Magister, you can't hold them. They're here to stop Eon, who has violated interdimensional laws by entering their dimension. Legally, they're within their rights to be here."
Max sighed, nodding in agreement. "Alright then. We'll work together to bring Eon down.
Nightwing, with a smirk, turned to Max. "Do you know where Ben lives? Magister"
Max raised an eyebrow. "Why do you ask… what's your name?"
"Nightwing" replied Dick.
Nightwing's smirk widened into a grin. "I want to have a little chat with him. Considering everything that's going on, I think it's time we talk face to face."
Max nodded slowly, understanding the implication. "Alright, I can take you there. I will also ask you more things about you and your team".
Nightwing shrugged. "We'll keep it civil. We just need to get on the same page."
Max turned to the team. "Anyone else want to come along?"
Max nodded. "Alright, let's go. The rest of you stay here and be ready in case anything happens. Chadzmuth, keep an eye on things while we're gone."
Miss Martian sister exchanged a glance and nodded. "I'll come too," Miss Martian said. "It'll be good to see him in person, again and his Marian tranformations"
Max nodded. "Alright, let's go. The rest of you stay here and be ready in case anything happens. Molly, keep an eye on things while we're gone."
Molly gave a small salute. "Will do, Magister."
Near Friedkin University
As Gwen and Kevin managed to arrive back at their hideout their noticed it was trashed expecially Kevin car.
"No! Not again! I just fixed her last week. Man, no, no, no, no, no!" Kevin shouted, dropping to his knees beside the wreckage.
Gwen, placing a hand on his shoulder, sighed. "Kevin, I hate to say it, but you were right about your 'car getting wrecked paranoia.'"
Kevin's eyes welled up with tears as he grabbed at the remains of the car. "I just finished the underwater converter."
Suddenly, a menacing figure loomed behind them. Technorg, brandishing his mace, attacked without warning.
Gwen reacted quickly, throwing up a magical shield to block Technorg's strike. "Kevin, get it together!
Kevin wiped his eyes and stood up, absorbing concrete and forming a shield and a sword. Technorg swung his mace again, but Kevin parried the blow with his metal arm. Gwen summoned energy blasts, firing them at Technorg to keep him off balance.
Gwen, focusing her energy on creating barriers and offensive spells to support Kevin. ". I'll weaken him, and you go in for the finishing blow."
Technorg roared in frustration, swinging his mace wildly. Kevin dodged and weaved, using his enhanced agility to avoid the attacks. Gwen sent a series of magical tendrils to entangle Technorg's legs, slowing him down.
"Now, Kevin!" Gwen yelled.
Kevin lunged forward, forming a Teydeneite Spear with a shard from his pocket. He sliced through the air. He struck Technorg's mace, shattering it into pieces. With a swift follow-up, he delivered a powerful punch to Technorg's chest, sending him crashing to the ground.
Technorg groaned, struggling to get back up. Gwen approached, her hands glowing with magical energy. "Stay down, Technorg. This fight is over."
Kevin stood beside Gwen, his arm returning to normal. "You messed with the wrong car, and the wrong people."
Technorg, realizing he was defeated, slumped to the ground, unconscious.
As Technorg began to recover, Gwen and Kevin kept a wary eye on him. Gwen stepped forward, recalling something Ben had told her.
"Technorg, Ben mentioned that you saved his life once by giving him a pod during the Six Ligma tournament," Gwen said cautiously. "He spoke highly of you."
Kevin frowned, crossing his arms. "So, what are you doing here attacking us then?"
Technorg straightened up, dusting himself off. "I'm here for you, Levin," he stated. "But I did not intend to involve anyone else. I apologize for attacking you, Gwen. I was blinded by my mission."
Technorg, still regaining his composure, looked at Gwen with a hint of recognition. "I didn't realize that Tennyson had more family," he admitted. "I owe him a debt of honor for that."
Kevin frowned, crossing his arms. "So, what are you doing here attacking us then?"
Gwen added , sensing more to it. "Why are you after Kevin?"
Technorg straightened up, dusting himself off. "I'm here for you, Levin to get revenge of you throwing me out in the cold of space for manny years" he stated. "But I did not intend to involve anyone else. I apologize for attacking you, Gwen. I was blinded by my mission."
Kevin's face paled, memories of his darker days flooding back. "I... I remember," he said quietly. "I was a different person back then, Technorg. I've changed. I'm trying to make amends for all the wrongs I've done."
Technorg's eyes narrowed. "Words mean little to me, Levin. You left me to die in the void of space.
Gwen stepped forward, trying to mediate. "Technorg, I know Kevin did terrible things in the past, but he's been working hard to make up for it. He's not the same person who wronged you."
Kevin explained that thanks to Ben he spent 4 years in the Null Void, as an exmaple. "Yeah, the Null Void was no picnic. But in a way, it shaped me into who I am now. Ben helped me find a path out of that darkness, and now I'm a Plumber, trying to make up for my past."
Technorg's stern demeanor softened slightly as he listened.
Gwen stepped in, adding, "There's actually a program for ex-criminals to become Plumbers, like Fistina did. It gives people a chance to turn their lives around, to use their skills for good."
Technorg raised an eyebrow. "A program for redemption?
Kevin smiled faintly. "Yeah, it's not an easy path, but it's worth it. I've seen Fistina change, and I've changed too. Maybe you could consider it, Technorg.
Technorg seemed to ponder this for a moment. "I will consider it, Levin. But know this—I'm watching your actions closely. If I see you've truly changed.
Gwen smiled, sensing a breakthrough. "That's all we can ask for, Technorg.
As Technorg walked away, Gwen and Kevin exchanged a relieved glance. "That went better than expected," Gwen remarked.
Kevin sighed, a weight lifting off his shoulders. "Yeah, it did. Thanks, Gwen. I couldn't have done this without you."
Gwen squeezed his hand. "We're a team, Kevin. Now, let's get back to fixing things up. We've got a lot of work to do.
Ben's house. Unbeknowst to him Eon was prepared to ambush him there.
Ben and Elena are slowly walking up stairs, Ben was looking for his mother if she has spotted them, the scene looked clean. Ben opened his door to his room, the place was a mess since Ben didn't got to clean the stuff up.
"Uh, sorry about the mess," Ben said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "I haven't had much time to clean up."
Elena laughed softly, giving him a reassuring smile. "It's okay, Ben. I've seen worse…. my room"
They stepped inside, and Ben quickly began to pick up some of the clothes and items lying around. "I, uh, usually try to keep it a bit more organized."
Elena walked around, examining the box of suvenirs from the original summer trip when Ben got the Omnitrix, his metal that he collected over the years. and gadgets with interest. "It's amazing how much stuff you've collected over the years"
Ben nodded, tossing a shirt into a laundry basket. "Yeah, each one of these probably has a story" As Ben continued tidying up, he glanced at Elena. "You know, I'm really glad you're here. It's nice to have someone who understands, even if just a little bit."
Ben phone rang and he got a call from Max, he explained everything to Ben told him to meet him at Mr Smoothie.
Later
In Bellwood, the sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the town. Ben and Elena strolled down the street, hand in hand, heading towards Mr. Smoothy's, their favorite spot for a treat. The summer evening was perfect, with a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the trees lining the street.
"So, Mr. Smoothy, huh?" Elena teased, a playful glint in her eye. "Do know how to show a girl a good time or just yourself"
Ben chuckled, squeezing her hand. "Hey, Mr. Smoothy's is a Bellwood classic. Besides, nothing beats their smoothies."
As they approached the stand, Ben noticed a few familiar faces. Kids and teenagers pointed and whispered excitedly, recognizing their local hero. Ben waved at them, always happy to engage with the people he protected.
They reached the stand, and Ben ordered two large smoothies, one for each of them. "One Mega Mando Madness and one Totally Tropical Twister, please."
Elena smiled at the cashier and then turned to Ben. "So, what's next on the agenda?
Ben took a sip of his smoothie, his expression thoughtful. "After the Eon' Multiversal Madness. For now, just enjoying a quiet evening with you.
Elena took a sip of her own smoothie, savoring the sweet taste. "You know, it would be nice to have more moments like these. Normal moments."
Ben nodded, looking out at the sunset. "Yeah, it is. Sometimes I forget how important these little moments are."
Max came with Nightwing and apparently the rest of his squad, who apprently Nightwing requested they all come.
After 4 minutes of the settle in
The room fell silent as everyone processed the information.
Kid Flash broke the silence, his voice filled with impantience "What do we do now?"
"We need to find a way to stop Eon and Albedo," Nightwing said, his voice steady. "If they have the Anti Life Equation they're a threat to every universe."
Ben nodded. "Eon is unpredictable, and with Albedo by his side, they're even more dangerous."
Just then, Paradox appeared in the at Mister Smoothie tabke out of no where, his expression grave. "It seems our enemies have made a significant move. Eon and Albedo have acquired the Life Equation from New Genesis."
Nice of you to show up" Nightwing crossed his arms. "He does that often?"
"Yeah" Replied Ben, not impressed.
Paradox looked at each of them, his eyes filled with concern. "We need to stop them before they can use the Life Equation. Their next move will likely be to come after me, given my interference."
Ben stood up, his resolve unwavering. "I can stop them, like I always did"
Blue Beetle scarab chimed in Jamie head "Ignoring his arogance, Eon and Albedo must have a specific plan. They might play him. Tell him".
Jaime raised his hand to get the attention of the group. "Hold on, everyone. My scarab just pointed out something important. Eon and Albedo must have a specific plan. They might try to manipulate you, Ben."
Ben looked at Jaime, considering the scarab's warning. "What do you mean…. Man I fogot your name.."
"Blue Beetle, or just blue… The scarab thinks they could be using you to achieve their goals. Eon knows you well and might be trying to exploit that," Jaime explained.
Paradox nodded. "Jaime is right. Eon is cunning and manipulative"
Ben, with his characteristic confidence, spoke up. "Look, I'm not afraid of Eon. I've beaten him before, and not just him. I took on an entire army of evil versions of myself and came out on top."
Paradox added, "Confidence is important, Ben, but so is caution. Eon has the Life Equation now. That changes the game entirely."
Ben shrugged, a determined look in his eyes. "I get it. But Alien X solos"
Jaime's scarab chimed in again, its voice insistent in Jaime's head. "Eon will exploit overconfidence. Remind Ben." Jaime took a breath and spoke up. "Ben, my scarab says Eon knows you, and he'll try to use your confidence against you"
Miss Martian, always the voice of reason, added, "Ben, I solely belive you are absurdly powerful you took us and the League headon. But we need to work together and use all our strengths. That's how we'll win."
Ben took a moment, looking at each member of the group. "Alright. I hear you. But I always win" he said, a cocky grin spreading across his face.
Nightwing raised an eyebrow but smirked. "Confidence is great, Ben, but let's make sure we're ready for anything."
Paradox nodded, his expression serious. "Winning isn't just about strength, Ben. It's about strategy and unity. Remember that."
Miss Martian smiled, her telepathic voice echoing in their minds. " Ben can you have your telepathic defenses off please I need to link us all up"
Tigress suggested, "Why don't we stay here to guard Paradox against Eon's lackeys, and Ben can take on the squid in our dimension?"
Ben nodded, recognizing the wisdom in her suggestion. "Good idea. That squid you're talking about is Dagon, and he's not to be underestimated."
Max Tennyson spoke up, "We can provide support here, ensuring Paradox is safe while Ben handles Dagon. It's a solid plan."
Nightwing agreed, "Alright. We'll split up then. Ben, you head to our world and take care of Dagon. The rest of us will stay here to defend Paradox."
With a flash of green light, Ben transformed into Chromastone. "Time to save another universe," he said, his voice echoing with the alien's resonant tone. "I'll be back soon."
As Ben teleported to Earth-16, the rest of the team prepared for any potential attacks. They fortified their positions and set up defensive measures around Paradox.
Max Tennyson spoke up, "Alright, everyone. Let's head to the Plumber facility. We need to regroup and plan our next moves. I'll call Gwen and Kevin to come assist us."
Nightwing nodded in agreement.
Max quickly dialed Gwen's number on his communicator. "Gwen, it's Max. We need you and Kevin at the Plumber facility ASAP. We're dealing with a major threat."
Gwen's voice came through, sounding concerned but determined. "Got it, Grandpa. We're on our way."
As the team settled into their positions and began coordinating their defense, a few of the younger heroes couldn't help but wonder aloud about their mysterious ally.
Max turned to the group. "Let's move out. The Plumber facility is secure, and we can coordinate our efforts from there."
As they made their way to the Plumber facility, Nightwing took a moment to assess the team. "Stay alert, everyone. Eon and his forces could strike at any time."
Kid Flash zipped around, making sure everyone was keeping up. "Don't worry, Nightwing. We've got this."
When they arrived at the Plumber facility, Max led them inside to a large command center filled with advanced technology and monitoring equipment. "Alright, everyone. Make yourselves comfortable. Gwen and Kevin should be here soon."
As they settled in, Max began briefing the team. "We're dealing with multiple threats. Eon and Albedo have the Life Equation, and Ben is currently fighting Dagon in Earth-16's dimension. We need to be ready for anything."
Blue Beetle's scarab chimed in Jamie's head, "We should analyze any data we have on Eon's forces and come up with a strategy."
A few minutes later, Gwen and Kevin arrived, looking ready for action. Gwen immediately went to Max. "What's the plan, Grandpa?"
Max filled them in on the situation. "We need to protect Paradox and keep an eye out for any attacks from Eon's forces. Ben is handling Dagon in another dimension, but we need to be prepared for anything."
Kevin cracked his knuckles. "Got it. We'll make sure Paradox is safe."
10 minutes later
Terra glanced at Gwen, her curiosity evident. "Gwen, why did Ben delete our memories of him in the first place?"
Gwen sighed, glancing at the group. "Ben didn't like how the Justice League treated him. There were... disagreements about how to handle certain threats and situations. He felt like they didn't trust him, and it created a lot of tension."
Kid Flash, who was pacing back and forth, stopped and turned to face Gwen. "But why erase our memories? Why not just part ways?"
Gwen looked thoughtful. "Ben's been through a lot. He's seen and done things that most people can't even imagine. I think he wanted to protect you all, in a way.
Nightwing nodded slowly, understanding dawning on his face. "So, he did it for us. To keep us safe."
"Exactly," Gwen confirmed. "Ben's always had a strong sense of responsibility. He might seem arrogant or reckless at times, but deep down, he cares about people. He didn't want to have the League have you hunt after him."
Blue Beetle crossed his arms, contemplating. "I get that, but now we're here, involved again, would he do it again next?
Tigress chimed in, her voice firm."We just need to show Ben that we're allies he can rely on. We can convince the league later"
Kevin chuckled "Try to convince the one dressed as a Bat?" Tigress imediately knew what he meant.
Miss Martian, concern evident on her face, turned to Max. "Where is my sister?"
Molly, a Plumber, stepped forward and explained, "Blukic and Driba went to Undertown for some supplies, and your sister sneaked out to follow them."
Miss Martian's eyes widened with worry. "We need to find her before something happens."
The Plumber HQ was suddenly engulfed in chaos as New God Upgraded Techadon robots, led by Inspector 13, stormed the facility. Alongside them were several alien gangsters, each wielding Grey Lantern Rings created by the nefarious Doctor Phycobos.
