Everything seemed very peaceful in Royal Woods today, that was until a powerful explosion was sounded off from within one of the town's local food shops. Tons of innocent customers and shopkeepers were seen huddled against the wall in fear as they all stared up at the electric villain known as Voltage, who was holding large bags of money in both is hands.
"That's right! All of you losers stay where you are and I won't have to fry your insides!" Voltage stated with a sinister grin, electricity radiating from his body.
Just then, Voltage began to hear some siren noises outside and noticed a bunch of red and blue lights from the other side of the windows, indicating the police had arrived.
"We know you're in there, Steven Nadler! Step out of the supermarket and surrender, right now!" A police officer with a megaphone ordered.
"Guess again, cops! If any of you take a step in here, tons of people are going to get zapped!" Voltage called out threateningly, dropping one of his bags and aiming his electric palm at the hostages as they cowered in fear.
However, Voltage didn't notice a familiar pile of green slime ooze it's way out of the ceiling's vent entrance and land on the floor behind him before a small UFO object floated down as well. The green slime then took a humanoid form and glared behind Voltage.
"Electrocuting a bunch of innocent people when they're doing some casual shopping?" Goop questioned. "That's not cool, thunder-head."
"Oh, it's one of you alien freaks! Your speedy friend might've beaten me, but I'll make you burst into millions of slimy pieces!" Voltage stated before firing a lightning beam at Goop, who used his elastic body to avoid it.
The Polymorph leaped around the shop's walls and then jumped towards Voltage before delivering a gooey kick to his chest that sent the electric villain crashing into a counter of watermelons. Voltage angrily stood back up while covered in watermelon juice.
"Sucks for you, Voltage. You're gonna have to pay for those melons with the money you're trying to steal!" Goop taunted with a chuckle.
"Shut up!" Voltage yelled, launching millions of lightning darts at the slimy alien.
Goop stretched his arm out to grab a nearby bench and used it to block all of the lightning darts. The Polymorph then rolled along the ground and then latched onto Voltage, suspending him in the air in a web of green slime before reeling back his fist and punching the electric villain in the jaw as he slid against the floor and halted near a wooden shelf of canned foods.
"Ready to give up yet, sparky?" Goop asked as Voltage stood up with a hateful glare.
"No way! I'll fry you, slime-bucket!" Voltage proclaimed.
"That's what you said to another one of my friends last time. You're just becoming too predictable." Goop commented while shaking his head. "Still, it's your loss."
The slimy alien tossed a green goo projectile at Voltage, who quickly ducked down and avoided it.
"Ha! You missed me, punk!" Voltage mocked.
"Did I?" Goop questioned.
When he heard some wooden snapping sounds behind him, Voltage quickly turned around and gained a shocked expression when he saw that the gooey acid projectile struck the bottom structure of a wooden shelf of box food products. The dissolved lower structure ended up falling apart and the entire shelf fell down to Voltage and it crashed onto him before he could jump out of the way. When the dust settled away, Goop looked down to see Voltage trapped underneath the shelf and struggling to get it off him.
"You stupid alien! I'll fry you and your friends for this!" Voltage scowled in fury.
"Not anytime soon." Goop replied before giving the electric villain a slimy punch to the face, knocking him out.
Goop turned to all the shop workers and customers in the building and they all started cheering loudly for him, while the police also arrived in the shop and saw that Goop had defeated Voltage.
"Nice work, slime guy." One of the cops said.
"It's Goop. And, you're welcome, officers." Goop replied with a thumbs-up. "Just doing my job to make Royal Woods a greater place."

On the alien spaceship that's been orbiting Earth for a long time, a news broadcast was being shown on all the screens as in the center of the room was a large metal container.
"In other news, one of the town's alien heroes has once again saved the day from the electrical-based villain known as Voltage." Katherine Mulligan said, hosting the news for today. "It's pretty obvious that this town is going to be safer from crime with these heroes from space watching over us."
"The Omnitrix. Wasted on pointless heroics!" The voice of the squid alien said bitterly, sounding like he was inside the container.
"Shall I dispatch more drones to retrieve it?" The robotic crew member asked.
"No." The squid alien replied before the container opened up,
A large two-fingered foot stomped on a drone on the floor and instantly destroyed it as the squid alien was shown to have his body completely healed up, but his new appearance was hidden by darkness.
"I will see to this task myself." The squid alien declared, determined to claim the Omnitrix and make the one who has it suffer.

At the Loud House, Lincoln had returned home in his normal form and he was currently watching the Royal Woods news to see how the public was liking his alien hero forms.
"Nobody really knows where the alien heroes came from, but they've all been doing so much good for our town by taking out common criminals and thwarting the plans of numerous super villains." Katherine Mulligan told the people watching. "We've been receiving many good comments from some fans of the alien heroes."
Lincoln started feeling even greater as he listened to all the comments from some of the people he's known in Royal Woods.
"I like every single one of those alien heroes! One of them even saved my life!" Girl Jordan stated with a wide grin.
"I think they'd do a better job as teachers, but at least they're keeping the streets safe." Principal Huggins said simply.
"Most of them don't even wear clothes, but I can definitely find some cute looks for them." One of Leni's friends, Jackie, said at the mall.
"If there's one thing I have to say about those alien heroes, it's that they're real team players." Coach Pacowski commented.
"I like superheroes just as much as I like Rafo!" Darcy remarked, holding her stuffed giraffe.
"My family and I have been trying to prove the existence of aliens for a long time, and these alien heroes are living proof!" Zach declared. "Still, they're okay in my book."
"Couldn't they have just been doing hero nonsense on some other planet? They've been causing a whole ruckus in this town." Mr Grouse said with an annoyed expression.
"Well, with the exception of Mr Grouse, it looks like everybody in Royal Woods are liking my alien heroes." Lincoln said to the audience. "All of my hard heroic work is really paying off, isn't it?"
"There's my heroic little boy." Rita said with a proud smile as she and Lynn Sr approached their son. "We saw your little shop battle and I'm just glad you came back without a scratch."
"Not that I was totally terrified, but you still did an awesome job, son." Lynn Sr complimented.
"Thanks, mom and dad. I just do the very best I can at being a hero." Lincoln replied.
"Is this even a healthy job for our son? I don't think we're being good parents if we're letting fight psychopaths on a daily basis." Lynn Sr said to Rita quietly.
"He's kept proving that he's capable of taking care of himself with that watch, so there's nothing really to worry about." Rita reassured.
Just then, Lincoln and his parents started to feel some loud footsteps coming from upstairs and the Loud Sisters suddenly stampeded their way down the steps to the living room before surrounding their brother and giving him cheerful and congratulative words.
"We saw the news, bro!" Luna stated.
"You really showed that thunder head what you're made of!" Lynn remarked.
"We're totes proud of you, Linky!" Leni cheered.
"I want a cool alien watch like yours, one day!" Lana told her brother.
"Get in line, mud stain! I want one, too!" Lola retorted.
"The way you beat down crooks is always out of this world!" Luan joked before laughing. "Get it?!"
"Girls, girls! Calm down and give Lincoln his space!" Rita scolded, causing the Loud sisters to halt their cheering and step back from Lincoln.
"Our bad, bro." Lynn apologised.
"But still, you did a good job at the store, today." Lori said kindly.
"I'll be sure to write a very heroic poem about you one day." Lucy proclaimed.
"Thanks, everyone. I couldn't really have done any of this without the Omnitrix, here." Lincoln said, smiling at the alien watch on his wrist. "It's made life so much better for me."
"And more life-threatening." Lola added.
"Poo poo." Lily said.
"Say, isn't Pop-Pop coming to the house to give us a joyride on his old camping vehicle?" Lynn asked.
"That is correct, fifth eldest sibling." Lisa answered.
"I can't wait for him to get here so we can all take a ride in his vehicle." Lincoln said with a smile. "Pop Pop told me he used to take you in it for all kinds of camp trips, Mom."
"He did. Those were some fun memories." Rita admitted.
The Louds suddenly heard some distant beeping noises and the sound of an old engine making its way to their home.
"Geez, that engine sounds worse than Vanzilla's on her bad days." Lynn Sr commented.
"It's Pop Pop! He's here!" Lincoln announced excitedly.
"Let's go see him, dudes!" Luna stated.
"I've got the perfect outfit for going in a camping van, too!" Leni added before all the Loud siblings rushed to the front door.
"Those children get more lively on each of their birthdays." Rita said with a giggle as her husband nodded in agreement.
When the Louds arrived outside, they were suddenly greeted by an outdated-looking yellow-grey RV camping vehicle and it parked right in front of the house. The side entrance then opened up to reveal the Loud sibling's grandfather, Albert.
"Hey, kiddos! Good to be here, today!" Albert called with a smile.
"Pop Pop!" Lincoln and his sisters exclaimed happily, surrounding their grandfather for a big family hug.
"We're happy you came here for some family time, dad." Rita said in kindness.
"Anytime, Rita. I wouldn't miss an opportunity to hangout with my favourite grandkids." Albert replied.
"It's nice to have you here as well, Pop Pop!" Lincoln remarked.
"I'm literally going to record this entire day of us with you!" Lori said, quickly bringing out her phone.
"So, this is the old camping van you used to drive in your good old days?" Lana asked, gesturing to Albert's signature vehicle.
"Yep, the Rust Bucket. I've had her ever since I was your parents' age." Albert said proudly.
"It's a girl?" Lynn questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"It looks a bit ugly and in need of an upgrade." Lola admitted.
"Well, I say it looks pretty rad." Luna retorted.
"I am surprised that a vehicle of this century age would still be operational." Lisa said plainly.
"You'll see how good my ride is when you kids start riding in her with me." Albert assured. "You and Lynn gonna be okay while we're gone, Rita?"
"Of course, dad. Just make sure you bring them back in a few hours." Rita replied.
"We're going to be fine, mom." Lucy said as she appeared next to her mother, making her yelp in fright.
"I call dibs on the front passenger seat!" Lana stated before she and her sisters ran into the Rust Bucket.
"Remember, Lincoln, keep Pop Pop in the dark about your watch." Lynn Sr whispered to his son. "We don't know if he's ready to handle the truth."
"If you say so, dad." Lincoln replied.
He then followed Albert into the Rust Bucket and once the elderly man was at the driver's seat, he started the engine and drove off as the Loud parents looked on from the house.

At the alien spaceship, the squid alien was sitting on a metal chair and heard a beeping noise coming from the main deck's controls.
"The Omnitrix is moving with its wearer! Pinpoint its location!" The squid alien ordered.
The main screen showed the Omnitrix symbol moving along the Earth.
"I have you now." The squid alien sneered, narrowing its eyes.
"The signal indicates that the Omnitrix is located near the exact same position it has been detected many times before." A robotic crew member informed before displaying images of Lincoln's alien heroes saving Royal Woods.
"Of course. The being who possesses the Omnitrix would never abandon their main home." The squid alien said with narrowed eyes before standing up and punching one of the images. "And I know exactly how to draw the earthling out."
(Linebreak)
The Rust Bucket was later seen driving along roadway that was a few miles away from the main town area and the Loud Siblings were looking out the window from the tabled seats, the couch at the very back or small bunk beds on the walls.
"There sure is a lot of room in this hunk of metal." Luan commented.
"But just like our house, it only has one bathroom." Lucy said, gesturing to the portable bathroom behind her.
"Other than that, your vehicle still works pretty nicely, Pop Pop." Lincoln told his grandfather.
"Glad you think so, Lincoln." Albert said with a smile. "So, what have the rest of you been up to lately?"
"I'm so close to literally being accepted into Fairway University." Lori replied in an excited tone.
"Me and Sam have got a sweet gig, tomorrow." Luna added.
"And I scored the winning bass for my softball team yesterday!" Lynn boasted.
"Sounds like you've all had some really great days, lately." Albert chuckled amusingly.
"Correct, grandfather unit." Lisa replied.
Just then, Albert noticed the Omnitrix on Lincoln's wrist and he gained a very curious expression.
"Say, Lincoln? Where'd you get that strange watch?" Albert asked, causing Lincoln to slightly tense up.
"Uh…it was a gift from a friend. He said he got very bored with it and decided to hand it over to me." Lincoln lied as Albert raised an eyebrow in response.
"Alright. That sounds okay." Albert said as Lincoln silently sighed in relief.
"I sense that something has been making you feel uneasy since this morning, dear brother." Lucy said, approaching her brother. "Can you explain what troubles you?"
"Well it's a bit hard to do so, but I had this insane dream where I was floating around in a dark space and I soon came face to face with this giant menacing alien." Lincoln explained as his sisters listened carefully. "He had green skin, red eyes, some kind of technological suit and a bunch of tentacles that made up a beard."
"He sure sounds super ugly." Lana snickered.
"And a little but scary." Lola said lowly.
"Meeting him in real life would be very squiggly." Luan said jokingly, letting out her signature laugh. "Get it?"
As the other Loud Siblings groaned in annoyance, Albert was shown to have gained an extremely concerned and shocked expression after overhearing what Lincoln had just said.
"Did this weird squid alien say anything to you, bro?" Luna asked.
"As a matter of fact, he did." Lincoln admitted. "He said to me 'I'm coming for you'."
"That sure sounds ominous." Lynn said.
"Scawy." Lily added with a timid expression.
"Maybe he just wants Lincoln's autograph?" Leni guessed, causing her sibling's to facepalm.
Albert, on the other hand, was looking extremely fearful by what his grandchildren were talking about. It was like he somehow knew this scary alien Lincoln was talking about.
"My worst fears are coming true." Albert said in his thoughts before clearing his throat. "Alright, kids, I think it's time we took a detour on the road."
"A detour?" Lucy repeated.
"What would the reason for taking that type of route be, Pop Pop?" Lisa questioned.
"I just need to, uh…check on something at an old place of mine." Albert answered before he began stepping on the accelerator pedal, causing the Loud siblings to hold on.
(Linebreak)
At the same time, the large spaceship suddenly appeared over the clouds of Michigan and a hatch opened up on it, releasing many drone minions and a spiked metal object that flew after them. The drones and spiked object all set their sights on their main object, Royal Woods.
(Linebreak)
Back with the Louds, they all kept holding on to whatever parts they could find as Albert still pressed his foot on the Rust Bucket's accelerator.
"Man, what's gotten into Pop Pop?" Lana asked.
"I literally have no idea." Lori answered.
"I'm just curious about where we're really going." Lincoln said.
"Uh, guys? Something really bad's happening in town." Luan told everyone in concern, pointing out the window she was looking through.
Albert made the Rust Bucket come to a quick halt and they all looked out the right window, seeing that there was a lot of large smoke coming from different parts of the main town.
"That ain't looking really good, dudes." Luna admitted.
"Looks like there's a huge riot going on." Lynn said.
"It's nothing the police won't be able to take care of, kiddos." Albert replied, wanting to get back on the road.
"But still, someone else literally needs to handle this problem." Lori proclaimed as she turned to Lincoln.
"I don't think I should do it while we're Pop Pop, Lori." Lincoln whispered.
"That literally doesn't matter. The town is in chaos and Pop Pop is family, so I'm sure he can handle your heroic secret." Lori told him. "This is your job, so you literally need to do it."
Lincoln turned to the rest of his sisters and saw they all had expressions to say they agreed with Lori. Sighing reluctantly, Lincoln knew he needed to be a hero right now.
"Let's keep driving, everyone." Albert told his grandchildren.
"Sorry, Pop Pop, but that isn't an option for me." Lincoln replied, approaching the exit door and opening it.
"Lincoln, what the heck are you doing?!" Albert asked shockingly.
"You should brace yourself, Pop Pop." Lucy warned.
Once Lincoln got outside, he activated the Omnitrix and switched through the selection dial before finding the icon he was after.
"Time to bring a rain of pain!" Lincoln stated, slamming on the Omnitrix's core and transforming into Water Hazard.
The Orishan fired a pair of water streams from his hands on the ground and this shot him straight into the air, flying straight towards Royal Woods. The Loud Sisters slowly turned their attention to Albert, who had a look of astonishment on his face.
"Yeah, that's kind of the reaction we, like, expected." Leni admitted awkwardly.
Albert then stared off to where Water Hazard had shot himself towards in silence, pondering what his grandson just did with the watch.
"Looks like I was right, after all." Albert said to himself.
"Right about what?" Lucy asked near her grandfather, startling him a bit.
"Uh, n-nothing, kiddo." Albert replied quickly as he then started up the engine and drove to the town. "Let's just make sure your brother's not going to get himself hurt!"
(Linebreak)
A whole army of drones were seen attacking Royal Woods and blowing up many areas with their lasers, causing the townspeople to run for their lives while screaming. Just then, some water blasts shot down four drones and Water Hazard landed in the middle of the street before swiping down two more drones with some water wipes.
"That should teach you floating trash cans not to attack my town!" Water Hazard proclaimed, only for find himself surrounded by many more drones. "Or…maybe not. I've got a hunch telling me that all of you were expecting me to show up and save the day."
The drones began charging up their lasers and Water Hazard acted quickly by shooting a pair of water blasts onto the ground, creating a large watery wave that shot out from the Orishan's feet. The giant wave swept over all the drones before they could fire their lasers and they were all left on the floor while sparking electricity, eventually going offline.
"That was easier than I thought." Water Hazard said, dusting some water off his hands.
But then, a blue energy net was fired out of nowhere and Water Hazard had no time to react as he was trapped against a building by it. Water Hazard groaned a bit as he looked ahead and saw the large dark-red spike machine rolling towards him.
"What the…?" Water Hazard started asking.
The spike machine stopped in front of the Orishan and the middle part of it opened up to reveal a silver metal piece from within, with a door on the center opening up to reveal a large shadowy figure inside. The large figure then stepped out to reveal himself as the giant squid alien in his new appearance, which was a more muscular build with metal rods jabbed into his arms, the same crimson-red and black suit he had before and an oxygen mask over his mouth.
"It…it's you!" Water Hazard exclaimed in shock, immediately recognising the alien towering over him. "You're that alien I've been seeing in my nightmares! The one I met in that cyber-girl's mind!"
"At last, we meet. The being that has caused me so much trouble!" The squid alien scowled menacingly.
"Who even are you?" Water Hazard questioned.
"I am Vilgax. And I have come for the Omnitrix!" The squid alien, Vilgax, declared.
"And you're obviously not one of the good guys!" Water Hazard retorted before he fired two powerful water streams on the wall behind him and managed to shoot himself out of the energy net.
Water Hazard shot multiple water projectiles onto Vilgax and delivered some fast punches for extra damage, only to see Vilgax wasn't harmed at all and acted like he didn't do anything.
"Crud." Water Hazard muttered as Vilgax grabbed him and tossed him through multiple buildings with insane strength.
At the same time, Nora and Clyde were seen walking down the pathway with some Flippies in each of their hands.
"You were right, Clyde. These Flippies do taste amazing." Nora said, taking a sip of her icy drink.
"Now you're getting it, Nora. Keep this up and you're gonna fit right in with this town." Clyde replied kindly.
However, both of them heard soaring noises above and quickly looked up to see Water Hazard flying over their heads.
"Was that…?" Clyde began to ask.
"Yeah, that was totally Lincoln." Nora answered, growing concerned for her white haired friend. "And it looked like he's in serious trouble."
Water Hazard soon landed on the other side of Royal Woods and slowly stood back up with a painful groan, only to see Vilgax land a few feet in front of him and approach the Orishan.
"This squid-faced creep is no joke! It's better if I trap him instead of battling him head on!" Water Hazard stated, placing his palms on the ground and unleashing another blast of water into the concrete.
Before Vilgax knew it, the concrete beneath his feet started to crumble away and he soon ended up falling down a deep hole that was filled with water. Vilgax struggled to get himself back to the surface due to his body weight being too much for the water to keep him afloat. The Rust Bucket soon drove by and the Loud Sisters saw the battle their brother was in.
"Looks like our bro's kicking some alien butt." Luna told the others.
"I think you mean some octopus butt." Luan replied.
"Octopuses have butts?" Leni asked confusingly.
On the other hand, Albert gained a look of shock when he noticed Vilgax in the deep hole of water.
"No. It can't be him." Albert whispered in horror. "Anyone but him."
Vilgax used his sharp claws to grip on the hole's wall and started climbing his way out, only for a pink energy square to block his way out.
"What?!" Vilgax asked angrily, slashing at the energy square.
Water Hazard looked to the other side of the road to see Nora and Clyde quickly approaching him, with pink energy emitting from the Anodite girl's hand.
"Hey, Lincoln! Hope we're not too late!" Clyde called as they finally caught up to Water Hazard.
"Thanks for getting here, Clyde. You too, Nora." Water Hazard said.
"No problem." Nora replied before she smiled smugly at Vilgax, who was still trying to slash his way out of the hole. "That overgrown calamari isn't so tough when he's trapped."
Just then, the Rush Bucket pulled over in front of them and the door immediately opened up to reveal Lynn and Lucy.
"Bro, Pop Pop says you've gotta get in, right now!" Lynn told her brother. "Same thing goes for Clyde and Nora!"
"He seemed very serious about this instruction." Lucy said.
"You're saying we should retreat?" Water Hazard asked in disbelief, not knowing his Omnitrix symbol was beginning to beep. "But somebody's gotta stop this big freak from destroying the town."
Immediately, the Orishan was consumed by a big red flash and he returned to being Lincoln.
"Looks like you can't do that anymore, Linc." Nora admitted.
"Lincoln, you and your friends get in the Rust Bucket!" Albert called out, causing Lincoln and his two friends to get in the Rust Bucket.
"Hey, Lincoln's grandpa." Clyde greeted as he sat on the couch and noticed Lori, causing him to smile cooly. "And Lori."
"Don't you dare." Lori replied firmly.
When Leni closed the door, Albert quickly drove his vehicle away from the area as Vilgax finally managed to break apart the Mana square and climbed his way out of the water hole, glaring at where his target went.
"Okay, why're we escaping from the squid guy again?" Lana asked, looking out the back window.
"Lincoln still has a chance of beating that green-skinned monster!" Lola stated.
"No way! Trust me when I say this to all of you. You don't wanna pick a fight with Vilgax." Albert said firmly. "He'll kill all of yoy just to get the Omnitrix."
"Well, that doesn't-Hold on!" Nora exclaimed as she realised what the elderly man said. "How do you know that big creep's name?"
"More importantly, how the heck do you know what my watch is called?!" Lincoln asked in shock.
"I'm literally starting to think there's something you aren't telling us!" Lori proclaimed while holding Lily tightly.
"It's not important right now." Albert said, trying to avoid the topic.
"It is when there's an alien maniac chasing us and you apparently know its name!" Clyde retorted.
"You've been acting very weird since we started going on this stupid trip!" Lola shouted.
Lisa, on the other hand, was searching the Rust Bucket's drawers with a curious expression and opened up up before gaining a surprised look from what was in it.
"And how exactly would you explain these?" Lisa questioned her grandfather, pulling out numerous pictures of Lincoln's aliens.
"Are those Lincoln's alien heroes?!" Luan asked shockingly.
"Why do you have those with you, Pop Pop?!" Lana questioned. "Have you been knowing about the watch and never told us?!"
"We demand answers." Lucy hissed.
"Well, I…the thing is…" Albert stuttered as he began to sweat nervously.
"Stoping hiding things from us, Pop Pop! We need to know!" Lincoln demanded.
But then, an explosion suddenly occurred right behind the Rust Bucket and made it get blown forward a bit, causing everyone in it to hold on for safety. Luna looked out the back window to see two drones chasing them.
"We've got a nasty crowd following us!" Luna exclaimed.
"Hold on, kids!" Albert stated before increasing he Rust Bucket's driving speed, avoiding some of the drone's laser shots as they destroyed parts of the road.
Opening he side window, Nora slightly leaned out and she fired multiple Mana disks from her hands, destroying the two drones before two more showed up from the air. Nora summoned a Mana shield behind the Rust Bucket to block more laser shots.
"They just keep coming!" Nora said in frustration.
"We can't just keep driving from them, Pop Pop!" Lincoln protested.
"Things will only get worse if we don't get to Royal Hills!" Albert stated, having just got over his shock of seeing Nora's Mana powers. "Also, how did that young-"
"She's half energy alien, Pop Pop, and her name's Nora!" Lynn answered. "Also, how's Royal Hills supposed to help us out?!"
"Not the best time, Lynn!" Albert replied.
Lincoln started fiddling with the Omnitrix as all the turns Albert was using made it difficult for him to balance. Lori was also trying to calm down a crying Lily by rocking her in her arms.
"Don't worry, Lily! We're literally going to make it out of this alive!" Lori stated assuringly. "Pop Pop, Lily's freaking out here!"
"We're all freaking out!" Clyde added.
"You're all just gonna have to trust me, right now!" Albert proclaimed, making a sharp left turn.
"With everything that's happening, the only thing we can trust right now is the Omnitrix!" Lincoln stated before he finally activated his watch and slammed on the core, transforming into Stinkfly.
"You just had to choose the smelly bug one." Lola muttered, holding her nose in disgust.
"All of you, focus on getting out of here. I'll be back." Stinkfly said as he opened the door and flew out.
"Lincoln, don't!" Albert called out.
"You can't do it alone!" Nora stated, only for Stinkfly to not hear them.
The Lepidopterran flew towards the two drones in the sky and avoided their blaster fire, eventually flying ontop of the right one. The left drone attempted to fire its laser at Stinkfly, who shot some slime onto the barrel of the weapon and made it explode as this caused the drone to crash land in a fiery explosion behind the Rust Bucket. Stinkfly then used his tail to stab the other drone and it also crashed down to the road, becoming a deactivated pile of scrap.
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a Stinkfly." Stinkfly quipped, flying down with a satisfied grin.
However, Vilgax suddenly leaped onto the Lepidopterran from the air and Stinkfly struggled to fly through the air with the evil squid alien holding onto his tail.
"Give me the Omnitrix!" Vilgax demanded.
"The only way that'll happen is if you pull it from my cold dead wrist, Squid-Face!" Stinkfly declared before shooting Vilgax with some slime that ended up trapping him on the surface.
But then, Vilgax immediately broke free from the slime and jumped at Stinkfly again, causing the Lepidopterran to avoid him.
"I really wish I knew who this guy was." Stinkfly said to himself.
Vilgax then landed in front of the Rust Bucket and Albert hit the breaks so it could stop. Vilgax turned his attention back to Stinkfly and began pursuing him as Albert drove him, the Loud Sisters, Clyde and Nora away.
"Where the heck are we going?!" Clyde asked.
"We've gotta give Linc a hand!" Luna stated worriedly.
"That giant mean alien is going to kill him!" Leni shouted.
"Don't worry, we'll be able to help him as soon as we get some extra help." Albert assured as he focused on the road.
"And I'm literally guessing this 'extra help' is at Royal Hills?" Lori asked in suspicion.
"The more I'm with your Pop Pop, the more freaked out I feel." Nora admitted to the Loud Sisters.
"This is a brand new experience for us, as well." Lisa replied.
Back at the main battle scene, Vilgax was leaping from building to building in an attempt to catch Stinkfly in her air. The evil squid alien then jumped up and grabbed Stinkfly in his arms, making him descend down.
"Let me go, you tentacled jerk!" Stinkfly demanded, shooting slime in Vilgax's face as the evil squid alien tore it right off.
"Be carful what you wish for, fool." Vilgax scowled before he threw Stinkfly into the pavement, leaving him in a very large crater.
Vilgax landed in the crater and approached Stinkfly, who was laying down painfully, before grabbing the Lepidopterran and holding him in his bare hand.
"I grow tired of this." Vilgax snarled before his finger emitted red electricity and he touched Stinkfly's Omnitrix symbol with it, transforming him back into Lincoln.
"What?! How'd you do that?!" Lincoln asked in shock while struggling in Vilgax's grip.
Vilgax didn't answer his question as he was more astonished from seeing the true identity of the Omnitrix's holder.
"A child? The Omnitrix is in the hands of a mere CHILD?!" Vilgax questioned outrageously.
"Hey, I'm close to being a proper teen!" Lincoln replied, very offended. "Plus, I've already got myself a chest hair!"
Snarling angrily, Vilgax moved his hand to the Omnitrix and the watch suddenly unleashed a powerful pulse of green energy that sent Vilgax crashing into a wall, while Lincoln landed on the ground. Vilgax immediately stood back up and approached Lincoln.
"It seems the Omnitrix has already merged with your DNA." Vilgax admitted.
Lincoln attempted to run away from Vilgax as he knew his Omnitrix was in cool down for the moment, but the evil squid alien grabbed him by the back of his short and hoisted him up.
"There's no way you'd hurt a child, right?" Lincoln asked, a little bit timid.
"Hurt you? No. I have something much worse in mind for you." Vilgax replied menacingly.
His spike orb machine then rolled up in front of him and the main entrance opened up before Vilgax tossed Lincoln inside and he walked in. The door closed and the spike machine rolled away, destroying many buildings in its way.
"Pop Pop, girls, Nora, Clyde, please do something to help me out and do it quickly." Lincoln whispered in worridness as he sat where he landed, completely at Vilgax's mercy.

Meanwhile, the Rust Bucket was driving through a road outside of the town and arrived at a very large hill that was mainly green with grass. The Loud Sisters, Clyde and Nora soon noticed they were driving up to a stop sign.
"I don't think we're aloud to be here, Pop Pop." Lana admitted.
"This place is literally off limits." Lori added.
"Not to us." Albert replied before he pressed a button under the dashboard.
Suddenly, the kids gained surprised looks when a platform beneath the Rust Bucket took them down somewhere and they soon found themselves in some kind of underground secret base.
"This sure is something I never expected to see." Clyde admitted.
Once they reached the bottom and got out of the vehicle, Albert led the children to a hallway filled with numerous drawers and opened one of them up to reveal that inside it was some kind of technological object. Albert moved on from the first drawer and opened a second one, showing that inside it was another tech weapon that was a strange shape, had a symbol similar to the Omnitrix's and was coloured black and white with a blaster barrel on the higher end. When Albert walked away, Clyde gained a curious expression about the secondary weapon and he picked it up, holding it with an interested smile.
"What're you doing, Clyde?" Leni asked.
"I've just got a good feeling about whatever this is." Clyde replied, feeling like he was going to put this weapon to good use.
"Okay, time out! This is getting way too wacko for me and all of us!" Luna called out as she and the others faced Albert.
"We need answers and we need them now, Pop Pop!" Lynn announced firmly.
"Like what is this place?" Luan asked.
"Why aren't we out there helping Linky?" Lola asked, concerned for her big brother's life.
"And how do you know the identity of the cephalopod extraterrestrial that posing a great danger to him?" Lisa questioned while straightening her glasses.
"We all crave the truth for this insanity, Pop Pop." Lucy said.
"Poo Poo!" Lily cried.
Albert let out a sigh of defeat as he placed a metal mask with a visor over his eyes and a chest plate that had a wire connected to it.
"Well, it's very hard for me to explain, kiddos. But let's just say…" Albert said before taking out a large cannon that had blue energy emitting from a glass tube on it. "Being in the army wasn't my only job."
The Loud Sisters, Clyde and Nora only looked on in silence at the giant weapon Albert was carrying, knowing there was more to the elderly man than met the eye.
"So…what do we literally do now?" Lori asked, breaking the silence.
"Now we go save Lincoln and kick some tentacles." Nora replied as her eyes glowed pink in determination, ready to save the first friend she made in Royal Woods.
