NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Episode 28: Alien Swarm-Part 1}

It was a normal day in Bellwood as we see Kevin's Car driving through the streets of the city with loud, heavy metal music blaring over the stereo as Kevin turned on the nitrous, causing the car to pick up speed as it left Bellwood and drove to the outskirts of town and into an old abandoned warehouse district before stopping as the Osmosian Teenager got out of it and spotted what seems to be a Meth Head named, 'Fitz', walking up to him.

"What do you get for me, Fitz?" Kevin asked while wearing his ID Mask as Fritz grinned shakingly.

"I knew you'd be the guy to call on this, Kev. This is big, man. I figured you'd have the connections-,"

"Show me." An annoyed Kevin says while crossing his arms as Fitz flinches panickedly and reaches into his pocket to pull out his phone to dial a number as, a few seconds later, two men and a woman appeared on the scene while driving around on a couple of motorcycles as the trio drove into the warehouse and stopped in front of Kevin, who glared at Flitz as he raised his hands defensively.

"I'm just the middleman!"

"You the buyer?" One of the men asked while walking up to Kevin's car with two briefcases in each hand as Kevin shrugged.

"Depends. What are you selling?"

"Alien technology. The good stuff." The Leader of the Motorcyclists says while placing the briefcases on Kevin's Car rather harshly as he glares at him in annoyance.

"Watch the paint job, asshole," Kevin says as the Leader rolls his eyes and opens up the briefcases to reveal multiple cylinders filled with some kind of metallic shrapnel. "What is it?"

"You don't know?" The Leader of the Motorcyclists says while trying to seem confident, but due to being an expert alien technology arms dealer for years, Kevin was able to spot his nervousness and smirked slyly as he chuckled.

"You don't, do you? Is it a weapon? Does it fire? Can it blow stuff up? See, this is important information for a prospective buyer."

"It's alien technology, man." The Leader of the Motorcyclists says nervously as Kevin gives him a dry look. "It's gotta be worth something. Are you interested or not?"

"Hmmm, let me talk with my partners."

"Partners? You never said anything about partners." Fitz asked anxiously as Kevin smirked cockily.

"Neither did you," Kevin says cheekily just as Ben and Van 10 emerge from a pillar with Shadow and Knight bursting onto the scene after kicking the doors of the warehouse open while wearing their ID Masks as Gwen discretely uses her magic to teleport behind Kevin and walks up beside him as Team Alien Force takes serious, badass poses.

"You guys working with him?" A shocked Fitz asked as Ben snorted amusedly.

"Actually, my girlfriend and I work with these four. Kevin doesn't really work. He just stands around flexing his muscles."

"Yeah, how about I flex them in your face?" Kevin says with a glare as Vanessa and the others snorted and began laughing.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Team Alien Force laughed as the Leader of the Motorcyclists glared at them in annoyance and turned to Fitz.

"Who are these jokers, man?" The Leader of the Motorcyclists asked as Fitz held up his hands defensively.

"I can't tell you. I'm just the middle man."

"We're just some regular old folks who are beginning to think this is a big fat waste of our time," Gwen says with an annoyed tone as Vanessa turns to Kevin.

"What do we got, Kev?"

"I've never seen anything like it, Van. They're complex. Must be Level 9 Alien Technology at the very least." Kevin says as Shadow and Knight's eyes widen in shock at the sight of the Microchips.

"They are Microchips, guys. Knight and I encountered them before in our Dimension." Shadow says as Knight nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, they are very dangerous," Knight says just as the Omnitrix and the Zennotrix begin beeping urgently as they glow green and purple.

"Unknown DNA Sample Detected. Should we attempt to scan?"

"Huh, those things might be an alien species." A surprised Ben says as the Leader of the Motorcyclists eyed them all oddly.

"What's with you guys? I've never seen buyers like you before."

"You've never met anyone like them before because they're not just black-market lowlifes like you." One of the Motorcyclists says while lifting up her visor on her helmet to glare at her comrades. "They're Plumbers."

"...Really? Plumbers? So we're gonna pay for this stuff by fixing your toilet?" Vanessa asked with a pretend laugh as she and the others pretended to look clueless by what she said.

"The Plumbers are a secret intergalactic police force. Like all other organizations like them, they save the world so we don't have to."

"Oh, right, of course, we're cops from outer space, or maybe, just maybe, we're firemen from Atlantis," Kevin says with a sarcastic laugh as Ben crosses his arms and pretends to look aloof.

"How did you learn about these Plumbers you think we are?" Ben asked as the girl got off her bike and walked up to Team Alien Force while taking off her helmet to reveal herself to the group.

Standing before them is a 5'6-feet-tall, 16-year-old Girl with brown eyes and had long lashes, shoulder-length wavy brown hair, thin brown eyebrows, a small nose, red lipstick, a sharp chin, E-Cup Breasts, Light Tan Skin, a short yet hourglass slender build, a heart-shaped thick ass, and her outfit consists of a long-sleeved red leather jacket with a black tank top underneath, a pair of fingerless black gloves, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long black leather pants, and a pair of black high heel shoes. Her name is Elena Valadis, Daughter of Victor Valadis, a Plumber's Kid, and Ben's Former Girlfriend.

"Everything I know about the Plumbers, I learned the same way you guys did...Ben~,"

"Elena?" Ben asked with a shocked tone as he blushed.

"No way!" Gwen says with a gasp as Elena smirks slyly.

"Oh, you still remember me. I'm honored."

"Hello, can anyone toss me a clue as to what's going on here?" Vanessa asked with an annoyed tone, not liking the way Elena was looking at her man as Gwen pointed over at her.

"Vanessa, this is Elena Validis. She's a Plumber's Kid. Like us."

"Not like you, Gwen, none of my ancestors were aliens. I don't have any cool powers to rely on." Elena says with a disappointed tone as Ben raises a hand.

"To be fair, I don't have any cool powers to rely on as I have to rely on the Omnitrix...oh and Vanessa? Elena used to be my girlfriend."

"Wait, for real?!" A surprised and instantly jealous Vanessa asked as Ben nodded and glared over at Elena.

"Yeah, we dated and hung out for a while when we were 12-years-old, but then Elena's Dad quit the Plumbers and they moved away and we haven't heard from them since."

"Not to mention that you didn't even bother telling Ben to his face that she was leaving the city and broke up with him. She left it all in a note. Ben was left devasted for months." An angry Gwen says with crossed arms and Vanessa's hatred over Elena grew and growled at her threateningly as Elena scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Is that what they told you? That my Dad quit? Considering that you two have more power than all of the Plumbers combined, you sure don't know much."

"Then why don't you tell us? What's going on?" Shadow asked as, unknown to them, a mysterious person could be seen standing on the catwalk placed above them and narrowed his eyes down at them angrily.

Standing above them is a 5'8-feet-tall, 48-year-old Man with silver glowing eyes, a bald head, thin brown eyebrows, a big nose, a sharp chin, Caucasian Skin, a tall yet burly build, and his outfit consists of a dark brown fedora, a long-sleeved high-collared dark brown jacket, a short-sleeved light brown shirt underneath, a black belt with a silver belt buckle, long pale grey jeans, and a pair of black shoes. His name is Victor Emilio Valadis, the father of Elena Valadis and Grandpa Max's Old Partner as he is currently under the control of the Queen of the Microchip Hive.

"What are you doing here with these chips?" Ben asked as Elena stepped forward.

"I'm here to find you two. Plumbers don't exactly advertise. Anyway, I need your help, guys. It's my Father. He's been abducted."

"Call the cops," Kevin said with a dry tone as Elena shook her head.

"They can't help. His disappearance is connected to these alien chips."

"We'll help you find him," Ben says with a serious tone as Vanessa nodded in agreement. "You're a Plumber's Kid and a friend."

"Am I, Ben? Really?" Elena asked with an angry glare as she crossed her arms. "Because life's been pretty hard for the past four years and I don't recall you guys ever looking us up."

"Well, to be fair, you did leave a note for Ben, so he and Gwen probably thought that you and your Father didn't want to talk to them." Vanessa pointed out just as the Microchips in the containers started crackling and they began glowing with amber-colored energy

"What is that?" A confused Gwen asked as Knight sweated nervously.

"Shit, they are activating."

"I don't want to impose on your little conversation, so..." Fitz says before turning around to run away just as the containers holding the Microchips immediately cracked and exploded, sending hundreds of Microchips floating in the air around them, causing mass panic as everyone ducked down to avoid the attack and Kevin, Shadow, and Knight's ID Masks were knocked off by the Microchips.

"Shadow, Knight? I think you were right about these not being ordinary computer chips." Vanessa says while she, Ben, and Shadow activated their alien devices and slammed their hands down at their Zennatrix, Omnitrix, and Animatrix as triple flashes of green, purple, and red lights rang out as, once they died down, we see that the trio had transformed themselves into-

"Big Chill!" Big Chill screamed while flying up into the air and fired a big burst of frost that washed over a bunch of Microchips to freeze them all in a big block of ice.

"Wildfire!" Wildfire shouted while raising her arms, and fired a big stream of red flames that washed over a bunch of Microchips to melt them all into a crisp.

"Scorsefly!" Scorsefly yells through the communication system placed inside of the Animatrix Symbol as it beeps red every time he talks and the buzz of his wings begins generating a frequency that short-circuits several Microchips and blows them up one by one as the Microchips swarm past and regrouped, flying towards the heroes as Gwen's eyes and body glowed a mystic glow while her hands glowed a pink mana energy as a flash of mystic blue light covered her body, and we see her now wearing her Lucky Girl Supersuit as she and Knight raised their glowing blue/pink hands and fired multiple bolts of blue magical energy and pink mana energy as she took out multiple Microchips left and right as Amalgamation morphed his right fist into a diamond/gold club with Taydentite spikes on it as he ran over to began whacking a bunch of Microchops left and right.

"What's going on?" The Leader of the Motorcyclists asked his partner as he shrugged.

"I don't know! They're all like freaks or something! Let's get out of here!" He says as the Motorcyclists get onto their bikes and drive off as the Microchips swarm around, and Knight raises her glowing pink hand as she uses her mana telekinesis to latch onto one of the Microchips and hold it out to the others.

"These aren't just Microchips, guys. They are some kind of living robotically organic alien nanotechnology."

"And this attack is way too organized. There has to be some kind of intelligence behind it." Knight says while she and the others look around as they spot Victor moving his hands in a certain motion to control the swarm of chips while standing on top of the catwalk as Kevin rolls his eyes dryly.

"Well, I don't know if he's intelligent, but I think we found the puppeteer," Amalgamation says as Big Chill and the others then flew/ran after Victor, who summoned a big swarm of Microchips to protect him as Ben thought carefully and turned to the others.

"Hold on, guys. I have a plan." Big Chill says while breathing out his icy breath as he completely freezes all of the Microchips in a big block of ice and turns to the others. "Alright, guys, let's let him have it." Big Chill says as the others nod and the lovebirds then swiftly raise their arms to slam their hands into their Omnitrix and Zennatrix Symbols to transform into their new alien forms with dual flashes of green/white and purple lights while Shadow slams his hand against his Animatrix Symbol to transform back into his Normal Form with a flash of red light and then slammed his hand against his Xennotrix as a flash of purple light covered his body, and once the lights died down, we see that the trio Quick Changing themselves into-

"Echo Echo!" Echo Echo screamed while duplicating himself into three and reared back their heads as they then screamed out triple green soundwaves.

"Zip!" Zip shouted while zipping forward in the form of a purple/black blur as Ben's Girlfriend zipped around the Microchips and used her afterimage trail to create a dome of purple/black energy to prevent them from being able to escape.

"Ultimate Ampfibian!" Ultimate Ampfibian yelled while raising his arms and fired multiple bolts of purple electricity as his and Ben's attack collided against the iced-up Microchips and caused a huge explosion that sent ice shards flying everywhere as Gwen was able to thankfully protect them by creating a big wall of pink mana energy.

"Thanks, Lucky Girl." Amalgamation says to Lucky Girl, who grinned and nodded as Knight turned to Elena.

"Do you know who is that guy, Elena?"

"I don't know."

"Let's find out," Ultimate Ampfibian says with a glare while he and the others plan to run/fly forward, only for Victor to fire Microchips at them, halting them in their tracks and avoiding the attack as the Microchips crashed down into the ground and created a small explosion that knocked them down into the ground as the trio groaned before standing up from the floor to see that Victor had disappeared from sight.

"You guys okay?" Lucky Girl asked worriedly as Zip and the others nodded while slamming their hands into their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Ultimate Xennotrix Symbols to Quick Change back into their Normal Forms with triple flashes of green and purple lights.

"Yeah, we're good, but who was that guy?" Vanessa asked incredulously as Ben shrugged.

"Don't know but a better question is where is Elena?" Ben asked as it was only now that he and the others noticed that Elena was now gone.

"If you're looking for your girlfriend, I think your personal charm was too much for her," Amalgamation says with a playful tone as Ben rolls his eyes dryly.

"Elena's not my girlfriend. Vanessa is,"

"Yeah, she is," Vanessa says defensively while hugging Ben's arm as she then glances up at him. "Look, Ben, I hate to say it, but I think Elena set us up," Vanessa says with a jealous and sincerely suspicious tone as Shadow hums thoughtfully.

"Did she? I wouldn't be so sure." Shadow says as we then fast forward in time and we see Kevin's Car driving over to Max and Laura's Plumbing Building, which is a business that Max, Laura, and Xylene created to not only have a job but to also create a secret Plumbers Base now that the Plumbers are starting to be active on Earth as the whole thing was still a work in progress and it's technically Team Alien Force's Secret Superhero Lair until they can officially build their real one.

"This whole thing is wrong from top to bottom," Ben says with a serious tone while he and the others get out of the car as Kevin, Shadow, and Knight are wearing their ID Masks again as Gwen is back in her civilian clothes.

"Yeah, starting with that crazy biker girlfriend of yours," Kevin says with a playful tone as Vanessa rolls their eyes in irritation.

"Once again, Kevin, Ben and Elena broke up and I'm his girlfriend now, so knock it off."

"Yeah, and it wasn't anything serious, to be honest. We were, like, 12," Ben says while he and the others walk forward as Kevin leans over to whisper into Vanessa's ear.

"Be careful, Vanessa, she's pretty hot and would try to steal Ben away from you." Kevin says with a teasing grin on his face while walking forward as Vanessa grows worried and goes pale-faced as she eventually walks up to the others.

"Changing the subject, look, guys, Elena's story doesn't add up. Why would she sell alien tech on the black market just to find the Plumbers when her father used to be one? Why couldn't she use her Father's Plumber Badge or Plumber Equipment to communicate with us?"

"She said that something happened to her dad when she used to live here and we weren't told the truth about it. Maybe she was trying to find us so we could help her with her dad." Ben pointed out as a glaring Shadow nodded.

"If that's the case, Max, Laura, and Xylene have some serious explaining to do," Shadow says while he and the others walk into Max and Laura's Plumbing as Team Alien Force spotted a man standing behind the counter of the store and was dealing with a customer and his teenage daughter.

Standing before them is a 6-feet-tall, 45-year-old Man with black eyes, a shaved head, thin black eyebrows, a big nose, a sharp chin, Caucasian Skin, a tall muscularly slim build, and his outfit consisting of a red cap, a long-sleeved orange jumpsuit with a name tag that reads, 'Edward White', written on it, a pair of black gloves, a black utility belt, and a pair of black boots. His name is Edward White, a Plumber Agent, and the Former Principal of Bellwood Middle School as he now works at Max and Laura's Plumbing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Suda. That old girl's gonna need new pistons, there's no getting around it."

"Hey, Mr. White." Gwen greeted cheerfully as she and the others walked past him.

"Hey, kids." Edward greeted with a warm smile as Knight turned to him.

"We are going to grab something out of the back,"

"Hey, Ben, you going to the game tomorrow?" The Teenage Girl, who is named Molly, asked Ben while turning to him as he smiled awkwardly.

"I hope so, Molly. I just got hit with a bunch of homework, so I might not come this night but I will see what I can do."

"You know Benji here. All work and no play," Kevin says with a chuckle while grabbing a soda from out of the fridge as Vanessa turns to smile mischievously at Molly.

"But if he does come, then I will come up to support him while wearing no shirt and only my bra so that I spray green paint into my chest to write the word, 'Ben!', and spray paint my tits with the numbers, '10'," Vanessa says with a sly grin as Ben blushed heavily.

"Please, don't babe...at least not in public." Ben pleaded as Vanessa rolled her eyes playfully.

"Anyway, see you tomorrow, Molly," Vanessa said as Molly smiled and nodded as she turned back to her Dad and the others eyed her oddly. "What? I have friends outside of you guys." Vanessa says with an annoyed tone as she and the others make their way to the back while not noticing that Elena is watching them from behind the window outside of the store as Edward has finished up his order.

"Seriously, that's the best I can do for you. I don't make the price, I just fix the cars." Edward says as we see Team Alien Force making their way over to the bathrooms and Gwen held out the Deactivated Microchip.

"I don't recognize this thing and I really don't like it."

"Me either, especially with what Shadow and Knight said and the very fact that these are alien lifeforms that our alien devices had never scanned before," Vanessa says with a serious glare on her face as Ben nods.

"Yeah, the sooner we can get this under a scanner, the sooner we can hunt down that creep and his army of flying chips."

"You mean the chips your gal pal illegally had in her possession?" Kevin asked with a teasing tone as Shadow rolled his eyes boredly.

"Alright, Kevin, I think he gets it." Shadow says as it was only just now that the gang noticed that Kevin had somehow gotten a slice of pizza and began eating it while also sipping down his soda as a disgusted Knight turned to Gwen.

"I seriously don't get what you see in him, Gwen," Knight says before she, Gwen, and Vanessa make their way inside the Girls' Bathroom while Ben, Kevin, and Shadow made their way inside the Boys' Bathroom as Team Alien Force bend down and waddled over to the back of the toilet as they reached down to grab a bathroom tile and lifted it up to show a red button planted on the floor and pressed it before standing up as the ceiling above them popped open and two levers as they pulled on them and the ground underneath them opened up as Team Alien Force was then transported downwards via two high tech elevators and eventually made it down to the New Plumbers Headquarters, which had a bunch of Plumbers walking around, working hard on constructing the new headquarters as, so far, they were able to build the Command Center, which is a large, open area in the Plumber Headquarters that had a supercomputer attached to it and a bunch of other alien equipment as Ben and Vanessa walked up to sat down on two chairs.

"Systems up," Ben ordered as the supercomputer opened up, and Kevin, Shadow, and Knight reached up to grab their ID Masks to take them off to reveal their true forms.

"Good afternoon, Ben Tennyson and Vanessa Cunningham. Now activating all partitions."

"Did you guys ask Grandpa Max and Ms. Cunningham if we could use the comm center?" Gwen asked worriedly as Vanessa rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"Uh, hello, Gwen, we're Plumbers just like they are. We don't need to ask permission from Mommy and Grandpa to do our job." Vanessa says as Gwen blushes in embarrassment and nods as we see Team Alien Force spending the next hour scanning the Microchip that they had retrieved from the fight.

"Engaging in comprehensive interior and exterior scan. Biological and inorganic matter detected. Molecular density is inert."

"Austenitic, ferritic and martensitic-phase microstructure," Gwen says while shaking her head as a confused Vanessa turns to her.

"Meaning?"

"Both organic and inorganic materials."

"Gwen, you are a credit to the science club," Ben says with a chuckle as Kevin sighs heavily.

"I've never seen anything like this,"

"We did. It's basically tech, but it's also a carbon-silicon based life form." Shadow says as Vanessa raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"So they're alive?"

"Yep pretty much," Knight says as Ben groans.

"Man, I'm liking this less and less,"

"Well, they were alive," Kevin says with a chuckle and a shrug as he leans back against his chair. "Kind of. Now they're in Alien Chip Heaven."

"Let me see if I can trace where they came from," Gwen said with her eyes and hands glowing with pink mana energy as she focused on the Microchip, and it briefly glowed pink before stopping as the Magical Anodite cursed. "Crap, they're completely inert. I can't pick up any mana signature."

"What now?" Vanessa asked as Kevin shrugged.

"Well, maybe I can jump-start an energy pulse from this slag, but it would take forever and be a total pain in the ass," Kevin says as Gwen gives him a stern glare. "...I'll get right on it then..."

"Or, we could just take the simple route and find Elena and ask her where they came from," Ben suggested as Vanessa huffed angrily and raised an eyebrow at him confusedly.

"What makes you think she would tell you guys the truth? She could have set us up."

"She's one of us, Van," Ben pointed out as Gwen shook her head in disagreement.

"Correction, she was one of us. You have no idea who she is now. It's been too long."

"Yeah, you can't trust her," Vanessa said as Ben scoffed and rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Yeah, well evidently, we can't trust anyone. We can't even trust Grandpa Max or maybe even Ms. Cunningham."

"Trust us to do what?" Max asked confusedly while eating a bowl of soup as he, Laura, and Xylene appeared on the scene.

"Oh! Hey, Grandpa. We can't trust you to make soup without putting baked moths or lizard gizzards in it," Gwen lied smoothly as Max perked up.

"That sounds like a pretty good combo."

"So what is Team Alien Force doing down here in Headquarters on off hours?" Xylene asked confusedly as Kevin sighed a bit.

"Well, we had a little situation come up."

"Commencing scan,"

"Hey, what's that?" A confused Laura says as she and Max glanced over at the Microchip that was being scanned by the computer. "It looks familiar."

"Yeah, I think that we've seen that somewhere before," Max says as a curious Shadow turns to him.

"What? Where?"

"Grandpa, Ms. Cunningham, there's something you two need to explain," Ben says with a serious tone as the Supercomputer then begins blaring loudly, and a big red warning sign appears.

"Unidentified intrusion at Entryway 3,"

"Sounds like we've got an uninvited guest," Laura says with a serious glare as Gwen and Knight's eyes glowed with pink mana energy.

"Kevin, punch up a tracker on the complex," Xylene ordered as the girls shook their heads.

"No need,"

"We've got them. They're in Max's office," Knight says as Max curses.

"They'd better not touch my model train set!" Max yelled as he and the others turned around to run away while making their way down the hallway and appeared in Max's Office as Kevin kicked the door open, and everyone ran inside as Ben, Van, and Shadow had their hands on their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix while Gwen and Knight's eyes and hands glowed with blue/pink magical/mana energy as Kevin cracked his knuckles, and Max and Laura reached behind them to pull out their alien blasters as Xylene's eyes glowed purple and used her telekinesis to lift up all of Max's stuff and the gang was surprised to see Elena crouching down on the ground as she stood up.

"It's okay, guys," Ben says as he steps forward. "You probably don't recognize her. She's-,"

"It's not okay, Ben," Max says with a harsh glare as he and Laura continue aiming their alien blasters at Elena. "It's a Validis."

"How'd you get in here, you little brat?" Laura demanded with a glare as Elena smirked slyly.

"I just followed after Team Alien Force and found the secret alien high-tech elevator into Plumbers Headquarters."

"Goddamn it, Edward," Xylene says with a groan as she facepalmed.

"Been a long time, Mr. Tennyson and Ms. Cunningham,"

"Wait, you knew my Mom?" A surprised Vanessa asked while glancing over at Laura as she glared at Elena.

"You shouldn't have come here, Elena."

"Grandpa Max and Ms. Cunningham? Elena was the one who set up the sale of those weird chips," Gwen says with a glare as Max sighed heavily.

"Of course. I knew I'd seen those before. It's time for you to go."

"Mr. Tennyson, Ms. Cunningham, please, I had to do that. I need help and it was the only way I could think of to get it." Elena says as Laura shakes her head.

"You know the rules, Elena,"

"It's my father. He's been kidnapped by whoever or whatever made those chips. I knew that only the Plumbers could help." Elena pleaded with a serious glare as Ben, Shadow, and Knight turned to them.

"Grandpa Max, we have to help them."

"Yeah, she needs help, Ms. Cunnigham."

"We can't ignore her." Ben, Shadow, and Knight say as Laura shakes her head.

"Sorry, kids, but Elena can't be trusted. Get her out of here.

"You heard the man," Kevin says with an uncaring shrug as Gwen walks over to grab Elena's arm and begins leading her out.

"I don't know what's going on, but they mean it. Come on, Elena."

"Then I'll tell you guys what's going on," Elena snapped with an angry glare as she yanked her arm back.

"Okay, we're listening, evil bitch." Vanessa says with a scowl as Elena huffed angrily.

"You see, your sweet Mommy and Ben's innocent old grandpa turned their backs on us three years ago. Threw us out on the street when we needed help and lied to Ben and Gwen to cover his tracks. Now my Father's in serious trouble and Max and Laura still won't help us."

"Is that true? Can't we just talk to her?" Ben asked concernedly as Max shook his head.

"No, Ben, anything she'd say would be a lie."

"Wow, thanks for the help, Team Alien Force. Thanks for being real heroes," Elena said sarcastically as she then turned to her Former Boyfriend. "And Ben? Thanks for being a great Former Boyfriend." Elena says just as Kevin walked over to grab her arm and began leading out of Max's Office.

"What is wrong with you two?" Ben asked with a glare as Max shook his head.

"There's nothing wrong with us, but there's a lot wrong with her. She's Victor Validis' daughter."

"Kids, I know your Grandpa and Mother, I'm sure that they have a reason to act like this, but I think that I can speak for all of us that we need some explanations," Xylene says with everyone turning to Laura and Max, who sigh heavily as we cue back to the Comn Center and we see Max and Laura sitting on a couple of chairs while bringing up information on Victor as Xylene and Team Alien Force stand behind them.

"Dr. Victor Emilio Validis," Max says with a somber tone as he and Laura turn to the others. "He was the best Plumber that Laura and I ever trained. We stopped more than our share of invasions. Laura and I trusted Vic with our lives, and we wanted to trust the running of this place to him too...until he betrayed us."

"What?" Ben asked with a shock tone as Laura nodded with a serious glare on her face

"He was caught stealing alien technology from our vaults. Tech that he swore he'd protect the Earth from. He was given a dishonorable discharge. He was a traitor."

"Traitor's daughter just left the building," Kevin says while walking back into the room as Vanessa turns to her mother.

"What did he steal?"

"The same stuff Elena was dealing," Laura answered as Max turned to glare at Ben.

"You still think she's the girl you know?"

"Well, she did tell us the truth about one thing, Grandpa. You lied to us. Again." Ben pointed out as Max sighed heavily.

"I did that for your own good. You were all too young to understand."

"Oh come on, guys, you can't judge her for what her father did," Shadow says as Laura scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Okay, then we can judge her for what she did earlier. Don't you all remember that you told us that Elena set up that weapons deal to track you guys down and it just so happens that the Microchips were activated and attacked you all? That is mighty suspicious."

"Yeah, so, kids, stay away from her. The Validis family is blacklisted. There can be no interaction between them and the Plumbers." Max ordered as Ben glared at them angrily.

"That's the way you see it. The way I see it, a friend is in trouble, and she's the best link we had to those chips and the freak who's controlling them. A whole lot of people could end up in trouble besides Elena and her father."

"That's why we are going to analyze those chips and take care of this crisis by the book," Max says with a serious tone as Laura nods.

"Yeah, we are not gonna boot up this whole operation on the word of that one girl who you used to have a crush on. You are letting your emotions dictate your actions, Ben."

"Pot meet kettle," Ben says with a scoff and a scowl as he turns around to walk away.

"Ben! That is our decision! We order you two to stay away from her!"

"Sorry, Max. I'm not following that order." Ben says while stopping in his tracks as he turns back to them.

"Ben, you can't break Plumber ranks. Guys, stop them." Gwen says to Max and the others as they shake their heads.

"It's not up to us. He had made his choice." Xylene says bluntly as Ben turns to Vanessa and holds out his hand.

"Babe, please help me."

"...I fucking hate that Elena bitch and don't trust her at all...but...I trust your judgment so...I will help you but I won't like it." Vanessa says with an annoyed huff as she walks up to Ben, who turns to the others.

"Any more takers?"

"We are coming too." Shadow says as he and Knight step forward as Kevin shakes his head.

"Sorry, I have to stay here and watch over the scan on the chips," Kevin says as the group nods and turns to share a look with each other as the trio then activated their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix before slamming their hands down at them as triple flashes of green and purple lights rang out as, once they die down, we see Ben, Vanessa, and Shadow transforming themselves into-

"XLR8!/Neuroshock!/Rush!" The trio exclaimed in unison with XLR8 and Rush zooming off while Neuroshock allowed Knight to mount her before flying off as we fast forward in time, and we see Elena driving her motorcycle down the roads of Bellwood but then yelped in surprise as Ben and Shadow zipped in front of her while Vanessa flew her and Knight over to land in front of Elena, who stopped her motorcycle in its tracks and glared at them angrily.

"What do you want?"

"The same thing as you," XLR8 says as he raises his visor.

"We're going to help you find him," Knight says as Elena gives them all a surprised look.

"What about your Gramps, Mom, and Bosses?"

"Not too thrilled about it," Neuroshock says with a dry tone as Elena raises an eyebrow curiously.

"And you're helping me anyway?"

"Yep, now let's find your Dad," Rush says as Elena nods.

"Gotcha, I will take you all to where I got my hands on those chips and I will keep up with you guys on my bike," Elena says while revving up her bike as the others nod, and they all then zoom, fly, and rode off as we cue back to Plumber Headquarters and we see Kevin sitting in Max's Office while listening to blaring rock music as Gwen entered the office.

"Grandpa?" Gwen asked before noticing Kevin as she walked over to him. "Am I interrupting something?" Gwen asked while going over to turn off the music as Kevin seemed to be messing around with the codes in the computer.

"You found the others?"

"They'll be back. Alone, hopefully,"

"Yeah, so what's the 411 on Ben and Elana exactly?" Kevin asked as Gwen sat down beside him.

"Elena was Ben's third crush after Petty Berkenfeld and...ugh...Kai...anyway, Elena was the only girl on his soccer team in middle school. Ben couldn't kick a ball in a straight line to save his life when she was around," Gwen says with a chuckle as she then frowns. "But after Elena broke up with Ben, he was left really depressed and didn't really bounce back until Azmuth unlocked Feedbac..." Gwen says before trailing off as she shakes her head and glances over at the computer as it was only now that she noticed that Kevin was trying to hack into the Plumbers' Mainframe. "What are you doing with these files, Kevin?"

"I wanted to know what intel we already had on those chips," Kevin explained as he sat up. "If Validis took them from the vault, they should be in the system."

"And?"

"All the files are sealed," Kevin says as Gwen hums thoughtfully.

"Well, then you should just ask Grandpa Max, Ms. Cunningham, or Xylene."

"I tried that. They weren't open to discussion." Kevin says as Gwen gives him an incredulous look.

"So you just hacked his system and opened up his personal files...what did they say?" Gwen asked with a sly grin as Kevin shrugged.

"They're sort of locked. I could try to figure out the password."

"That would be a huge violation of trust, and regulations. We'll lose our Plumber badges," Gwen says as Kevin sighs heavily and leans back against his chair.

"Well, I guess Tennyson and the others are really on their own this time. I'm sure they'll be fine."

"...Alright, let's break the code," Gwen says while helping Kevin with messing around with the Plumbers' Mainframe as we cue back over to Victor, and we see him walking across Downtown Bellwood, late at night as he was talking to himself.

"No, do not worry. Our work advances nicely. Yes, yes. Our tests are all complete. Please, we must know. Is it time?" Victor says while walking down the street as he was approached by two thugs that were standing near a trash can fire.

"Oh, yeah, pal. It's time. Time for you to give us your money." One of the Thugs says while he and his friend laugh as Victor stares at them stoically.

"Hey, we're talking to you, Looney Tune. Don't you know this is the bad part of town? You shouldn't be out here walking alone."

"Alone? We are not alone. We are never alone." Victor says with a glare just as one of the Thugs throws a punch at him as he is able to catch it and twist his arm around to break it as the Thug screams in pain and agony. "We offer you so much more than money. We offer you a new life. Join us. Help us. Rule with us." Victor says while laughing evilly while opening up his trench coat to release a swarm of the Microchips from his trench coat, sending them swarming around the two thugs, and two of the chips burrowed painfully into their skin and activated before they glowed and active as the two thugs gained black glares on their faces and stood at attention as the chips continued to swarm around the man, who turned around to walk away as the Thugs followed after Victor like zombies and we cue back to the others as we see XLR8, Neuroshock, Rush, and Knight standing in front of a building impatiently as they waited for Elena to show up.

"Man, motorcycles are slow as fuck."

"Yeah, can you imagine a movie about a franchise about a kid who transforms into aliens, has a lot of motorcycle shots and car shots while not focusing on using their money to have the protagonist transform into more than three aliens?" Neuroshock asked while giving the readers a bored look as Elena FINALLY appeared on the scene and rode up to them before getting off her bike as Ben, Vanessa, and Shadow then slammed their hands into their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix Symbols to Quick Change back into their Normal Forms with triple flashes of green and purple lights.

"My Dad started acting really weird a couple of months ago. I followed him one night to this place," Elena explained as Shadow shrugged.

"Well, hanging out around here certainly classifies as weird,"

"So, Ben...are you and Vanessa serious or something?" Elena asked with a hopeful and worried tone as Vanessa heard this and glared at her as she walked over to hug Ben by his arm and had her breasts squished against it.

"Yes, we are, in fact, we had kids with each other."

"Wait, what?!" A shocked and blushing Elena says as Knight rolls her eyes playfully.

"You see, one of Ben's Aliens got pregnant, and due to complicated reasons, his alien babies have his and Vanessa's DNA in them."

"Oh...you guys are serious?" A stunned Elena asked as Ben nodded with a proud smile on his face as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone to show Elena a photo of his Necrofriggian/Human Hybrid Children.

"Here they are. The way I had them was traumatizing and such, but I still love them."

"We had even begun teaching them how to play in sports," Vanessa said with a warm smile as Elena cooed at the sight of their Big Chill Babies.

"Ooh, they are so cute. Can I keep one of them?"

"NO!" Ben screamed with an overprotective and angry tone, scaring Elena as he then took a deep breath and calmed down. "I-I mean, Vanessa and I's kids are not just pets for us to sell to you."

"Yeah, step off, Elena," Vanessa says with a glare while smirking at her victoriously for her getting Ben angry at her as Elena glared at her discreetly.

"Anyway, let's go," Knight says as she and the others turn around to walk into the building while not knowing that they are being spied on by a sinisterly smirking Victor.

"That's a good girl. Bring them here to us. They can't help you now." Victor says as he then turns to his Microchip Mind Controlled Slaves. "Let's go," Victor ordered as the Microchip Mind Controlled Salves nodded and turned around to leave as we cued back to the others, and we see them investigating the building as Vanessa looked around in disgust.

"What was your dad doing? Racing cockroaches?"

"He has a kind of laboratory set up. Whatever he was working on, he didn't want me around for it, and then he stopped coming home at all. Come on." Elena says while leading the gang away as they are completely oblivious to the fact that Victor walked down the steps with the Microchip Mind-Controlled Slaves carrying around large crates as they made their way out of the building just as a large shipping white van pulled up them and opened up as the slaves started loading the crates into it.

"To the final staging area," Victor says as he then turned to the two thugs from before. "Take care of our guests," Victor ordered as the Thugs nodded and turned around to walk back into the building as we cued back to the others, and we see them arriving at Victor's Lab in the Building.

"What was he doing here?"

"He was studying the chips," Elena explained as Ben whistled a bit.

"Boy, when your dad makes a hobby, he doesn't mess around,"

"Someone's been here," Elena says as she and the others begin investigating the lab. "Taking things."

"Or looking for things," Vanessa says with a suspicious glare while she, Ben, and Shadow activated the flashlight settings on their alien devices to look at all of the notes in the lab as Knight merely raised her glowing pink mana hand to shine a bit of light. "Elena, these notes. He wasn't studying the chips."

"Yeah, he was upgrading, developing them." Shadow says as Knight nodded in agreement.

"Look at all this. Your dad was clearly insane."

"You're wrong. He's a brilliant man, he just became possessed by his work." Elena says defensively as Ben raises an eyebrow at her confusedly.

"Why?"

"He said these things posed some kind of threat. The Plumbers didn't believe him, so he took them. Now they're not lifting a finger to help them."

"Yeah, my Grandfather and my Girlfriend's Mother are kind of sticklers about the whole Plumber rulebook," Ben said while looking at a picture of Victor and Elena together as Elena looked over at an empty shelf confusedly.

"I don't get it. This is where I found those chips in storage canisters. They were all over the place, but now they're gone." Elena says just as Vanessa spots an ad on the desk, and walks over to take it, and shows it to the others.

"I think your Dad had a business with Ship-It. Do you think he could've shipped the chips somewhere?"

"I don't know, but whoever kidnapped Elena's Dad definitely wants these chips," Shadow says as Knight nods but then pauses a bit as she turns to Elena.

"Wait, that freak from the warehouse drop point. Do you know who he is?"

"I have no idea. I just want my father back, guys."

"We'll get him, we promise," Ben says with a sincere tone just as the doors were opened as a group of random civilians walked in single file towards Team Alien Force, who flinched as they grew serious.

"Oh, crapbaskets..."

And done. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one.

Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
