Chapter 1: Assemble

Earth 5: Amazon Jungle

Following the Novatron invasion, G3 was entrusted with collecting any remaining alien technology after the invaders were disabled and the threat had passed. Solomon dispatched several operatives to the locations around the world where the Novatrons stationed their war fortresses for cleanup duties, and they were currently doing just that. The crew in the Amazon Jungle was loading a box full of alien weapons onto a truck heading to G3 HQ for disassembly, along with the rest of the Novatron arsenal.

"Alright, people. This should be the last shipment," the squad leader states as he oversees the complete removal of any Novatron presence from the Amazon.

The Squad Leader then took out his communicator and began speaking into it.

The squad leader said, "Bravo unit, report in."

However, he received no response from the communicator.

"Bravo unit. Do you copy?" the squad leader said.

"Could they be out of contact range?" a soldier wondered.

"They know better than to go past our scanners," the squad leader contends.

But something is clearly wrong, so he looks at his two other soldiers.

"You two, find the unit and report anything out of the ordinary," the Squad Leader tells two troops, who agree as they set off to find their fellow agents.

One checks the screen display on his helmet for any life indications. Five blips emerged, indicating a small presence close to them and not too far away.

"Hmm. Scans show that the Bravo unit is nearby, so why aren't they checking in?" the soldier said.

It's typical protocol to call in from their current location unless they get into difficulties, but there are no other lifeforms for kilometers.

The second operative continued to walk till he heard something and accidently kicked it. He looks down and notices that it is the same helmet that all G3 field operatives use.

"Hold it. Check it out," the second soldier shouted, gesturing to the dropped lasers and other G3 gear, which were all curiously without their owners.

The two soldiers felt confused since they couldn't see the owners of the guns, as if something was wrong.

"Is the scanner picking up on any possible hostiles?" the second soldier asked.

The soldier did so, but the screen became static, prompting him to slam it in rage with his own hands.

The soldier exclaimed "Blasted thing. These are supposed to be up to date."

Then an orb-shaped object was thrown at them.

"What the heck is-" the soldier asked, but he didn't continue his statement since something was about to happen.

"AHH!" both soldiers screamed as they were stunned by the electromagnetic blast generated by the orb, rendering them both unconscious.

After they were disposed of, shadowy people studied them, and one took a G3 communication device.

"Sergeant, do you copy? Did you find Bravo Unit? Sergeant, please respond," the Squad Leader stated.

The figure places something against his throat and says, "Sorry, captain, but we couldn't find any sign of the unit, only scattered remains of their gear. We'll return to you and report this to Solomon."

The Squad Leader replied, "Acknowledged."

Once he hangs up the call, the individual emerges from the shadows, revealing himself to be an armored soldier dressed in a bright neon black and dark grey suit with a helmet that obscures his facial features and some white stripes on each side.

"It's done. They won't suspect a thing. Now's our time to strike, Lieutenant," the soldier remarked with a disoriented tone as other soldiers emerged from the shadows.

"Good, now ready the launcher and fire on my mark," the Lieutenant stated as he directed one soldier to attach a highly advanced shoulder cannon and await the signal.

The Lieutenant eventually gave the signal.

"Fire!" the Lieutenant exclaimed as his fellow soldier fired a shot at the G3 team.

It generates an explosion, allowing them to move forward with their mission.

"Attack while they're caught off guard! Move!" the Lieutenant yelled as he ordered his men to charge.

The unknown squad of soldiers advanced on the G3 operatives who had been scattered as a result of the blast, and a gunfight broke out. Both camps use firearms to attack each other, but these unknown soldiers were more coordinated than G3 expected. Their technology was as advanced as their own, and they clearly knew how to use it.

"Send a message to Solomon. We need reinforcements!" The squad commander shouts at his teammates.

Then the lieutenant shot the soldier in the shoulder and began approaching the Squad Leader.

"Sorry, but we're on a tight schedule, and Solomon's involvement would only complicate matters," the Lieutenant stated as his other soldier shot the G3 Squad Leader, leaving him dead.

Every G3 agent is now dead, and their bodies lie in the ground.

After defeating the operatives, the Lieutenant and his crew examined the Novatron weapons stash.

"It never ceases to amaze me how much alien technology can be found on this primitive planet, and the majority of the population is completely unaware," the Lieutenant stated as he picked up one of the Novatron's weapons that had been left behind during the fight.

The Lieutenant then turned to face his fellow soldier, preparing to make an announcement.

"Dispose of all the bodies, carry every piece of armament back to base, and obliterate any proof that we were here. Even if Solomon discovers it was us, it will be too late." The Lieutenant added, ordering his fellow soldiers to dispose of all G3 soldiers' bodies and grab all Novatron technologies and weaponry.

The Soldiers subsequently carry out the Lieutenant's orders, disposing of all G3 soldiers and hijacking all of the Novatron equipment, as well as the transport ship, for whatever purpose they had planned.

Earth 5: Sherman

Solomon likes to think of himself as a patient person. But he was getting frustrated as he checked his watch for the hundredth time and saw that it had been about an hour and none of them had arrived, leaving him alone with only Lance, Ilana, and Octus. The three Titan components and their ally waited patiently for them, but their patience was wearing thin.

"Well, at least you three showed up on time; don't know how much longer we'll have to wait, though." Solomon commented as he glanced at the Titan trio, who were the first to arrive, which was to be expected given that this crucial conference was taking place expressly on their Earth. They stood at the city borders, escorted by G3 vehicles and soldiers.

"They're late; if we wait any longer, we'll have to assume they won't show up at all," Lance stated, glaring and crossing his arms.

Ilana nudges him and says, "Come on, Lance. We've just decided to work together, and they're surely running late."

Octus, in his Newton disguise, agrees with her sentiment, saying, "I think it prudent to remember that they are from parallel Earths; some delay in their arrival to our own should be expected, and not held against them, Lance."

"Still, if they can't be punctual, I have doubts about their reliability on the field. I still can't believe we're considering this entire team idea. We only had one attempt at saving the world, and now we're all "best friends" like those high school shows you watch all the time. Just ridiculous," Lance scoffs as if he doubts the entire team concept.

Ilana then frowned at Lance at what he had just said, knowing that Lance would not like the jibe at her favorite show.

"That's not fair, and you know it. They all proved themselves when we defeated the Novatrons together, so don't be too harsh on them, and FYI, those shows are entertaining to watch," Ilana stated.

Lance could only groan with annoyance.

Soon enough, a portal opened, and from it emerged a vehicle with a green X-shaped design on the hubcap that covered the sides and resembled a cross between a black Mazda RX-8 and an Acura DN-X, with its form significantly altered to give it the best chance of seeming slim and covert. The vehicle appeared directly in front of Solomon and the Titan trio.

Five people appear after getting out of the car.

The first one is a boy with a fair complexion, green eyes, short, unkempt fringe hair with green stripes on the left half and brown throughout, and a scar on the left side of his face. He wears a green jacket with black and white stripes along the left and right sides, with a small number 10 on the left and another number 10 on the back. In addition, he was sporting a black-and-white shirt with green and white stripes. He is dressed in pants with a black belt that is horizontally striped brown and green. He was sporting Converse sneakers in green, black, and white, as well as a black headphones with green stripes around his neck. He wears a strange watch on his left wrist that does not appear to be human-made, with green, gray, and white colors. Its black faceplate is ornamented with two light green stripes, which represent the Intergalactic Peace Force logo. Pressing the two gray buttons on either side splits the faceplate in half, revealing the core.

It was none other than Ben Tennyson, The Savior of the Universe.

The second one is a Hispanic boy, half Argentinean, half Mexican, wearing a red vest with white and orange stripes and a gear symbol on the back. He wore a blue shirt and a pullover with white sleeves over two orange rectangles on his left chest. He also wore black sleeves. He is wearing a pair of black gloves. He also wore jeans with black and blue geometric stripes. His shoes were black Converse. He's sporting an orange beanie and goggles, and his hair is spiked.

It was none other than Rex Salazar, the Evo hero.

The third person is a boy with dark brown skin. He wore an orange sweater with a black shirt on top, with a large orange S sign on the front and the back. He wore light brown cargo pants and a black utility belt with his weapons. His sneakers were white with orange accents. He also has long hair, which is white in the front and black in the rear.

It was none other than Zak Saturday.

The fourth one is a boy with pale skin, emerald green eyes, brushed-back blond hair swept to the right, and rosy cheeks, nose, and ear tips. He is dressed in a white shirt, a trendy black jacket, and cool grey pants with stylish black stripes. He is also wearing black sunglasses and a dark-grey cap.

It was none other than Adrien Agreste, also known as Cat Noir.

And the final one is a girl who is said to be half Chinese, half Italian, and quarter French. She has fair skin, vivid bluebell eyes, light freckles on both sides of her nose, and shoulder-length black hair with blue reflections that is always wrapped up in pigtails and styled into a bun. She wears a trendy black blouse with a red jacket with black stripes on both sides, a black skirt with white stripes on the top and bottom, long black stockings, red loafers shoes, and red glasses with black lenses.

It was none other than Marinette Dupain-Cheng, also known as Ladybug.

Ladybug and Cat Noir both wore disguises to protect their identities, even from each other, taking the concept of secret identity to a new level.

Ben then sent his car back to their home universe, and as the portal closed, Ben looked at Solomon and the Titan Trio.

Ben smiled and said, "Hey there, guys."

"Ben! Everyone! I'm so glad you could make it!" Ilana said as she greeted them all with wide arms.

"Sorry for not coming sooner, Ilana. Because some of us live on the same Earth, we decided it would be easier to travel together. We reside in separate states and countries, so it took some time. I must tell my parents about visiting another world and other such things," Zak stated, apologizing for their late arrival.

Rex said, "As well as I had to take care of a few things with Providence."

Lance forcefully scolded Rex, saying, "Next time, don't keep your teammates waiting."

Rex averts his sight to Lance and says, "I guess you failed the how to be a less jerk class, Lance, but it's great to see you too."

Adrien went on, "That, plus both of us had to deal with Mr. Pigeon in Paris again."

Octus then notices that someone else is missing from the group.

"Where are Max and Steel?" Octus said, unable to find them amid the throng.

Ben replied, "Oh, Max says that we go here on this earth already because he said he was doing something with N-Tek."

"So, is there a reason Solomon told you three to let us know what was going on here?" Rex inquired.

"Yeah, Octus? What's the situation?" Marinette inquires as well.

"Rex, Ladybug, all I can tell you is that it is mostly about our official formation as the Ultra Legion. It would be better for everyone if we waited for everyone else to arrive," Octus stated.

Then a second portal appears, and we see the Ghost hero of Amity Park, Danny Phantom, flying out of it, but Danny's suit has been upgraded with a white collar, gloves, and boots, and his logo remains on his chest. He also carries a belt that may be converted into a variety of tools. But Danny wasn't the only one who flew out of the portal; they also saw a large red and yellow dragon fly out, carrying a purple-haired teenager named Randy Cunningham, who was now dressed in a new civilian outfit: a dark grey jacket with a white shirt with red stripes on each side as well as a ninja symbol, light brown pants, and converse-style red shoes and purple-colored tricked-out car followed by after that.

Once they landed, Danny Phantom transformed into Danny Fenton, an average teenager with dark hair and blue eyes rather than white hair and green eyes, and his clothing changed from the jumpsuit to his new civilian clothes, which include a blue sweater with a red shirt, light grey pants, and light blue converse shoes.

The Dragon transforms back into his human form, known as Jake, and wears new clothes, including a red jacket with light yellow stripes on each side and a dragon symbol on the right side, as well as a plain black shirt underneath, light grey pants, and a sneaker in the colors black, red, and white.

From the car, A young woman with long red hair departed the car, accompanied by her blonde partner and his pet naked mole rat perched comfortably on his shoulder.

It was Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable, and his pet naked mole rat, Rufus.

After that, Kim sent her automobile back to their home dimension as she and her Earth 2 pals approached Ben and everyone else present.

"Danny, Randy, Jake, Kim, Ron. It's great to see you guys again." Ben added, shaking the hands of the other teen heroes.

"Yeah, it's great to see you too Ben," Danny replied.

Marinette approached Danny and asked, "Hey, Danny. How are you doing?"

Danny smiles and says, "Same old. Had to take care of some ghost stuff."

"Sorry, were late by the way, Ron took a minute to eat a light snack." Kim said.

"What? I have my early Bueno Nacho always in the morning and I got no regrets" stated Ron.

Rex, Zak, and Adrien are now approaching the Earth 2 heroes, but they discover that three people are missing from the group, unlike the Earth 1 heroes, who only have two missing.

"Hey, where are Penn and the others?" Rex asked as he couldn't find them.

"Well, Penn, Sashi, and Boone opted to go by themselves," Kim replied.

"Oh, that makes sense," Zak responded.

"So, who's left?" Randy asked.

A third portal emerged after that, revealing Jenny, a blue and white armored robotic female carrying Manny Rivera in civilian attire rather than the suit that appears by rotating his distinctive belt buckle. Jenny and Manny landed the moment they arrived.

"Hola, Amigos," Manny said, waving his hand.

"Manny, Amigo, how are ya!" Rex shouted as he approached Manny and high-fived him.

Adrien then approached Manny after that.

"Hey, little cat, you look good," Adrien said, holding out his fist for a fist bump.

"Oh, you know it, big cat," Manny replied as he accepted Adrien's fist bump.

Then, a tear in the universe's fabric was opened and transformed into a dimensional doorway, revealing Marco Diaz in a red hoodie and his closest friend and magic-using princess, Star Butterfly. Unlike the previous time, Star donned a sleeveless teal dress, green jeggings, and a skirt with a bear on the heir to the Mewman kingdom. Star grinned brightly when she saw the team.

"Hi, guys!" Star exclaimed, waving her hand.

Star then approached Ilana, hugging her fiercely.

"Hey there, princess sister! It's so great to see you," Star remarked, still hugging Ilana.

"Yeah, it's great to see you too, Star," Ilana said as she welcomed the hug, despite feeling strained from Star's hold due to its tightness.

Star suddenly let go of Ilana and began hugging everyone else, even an unhappy Lance.

"I'm so excited to be here!" Star remarked, still hugging Lance.

"We can tell, Star," Randy responded, chuckling a little at how stretched he felt from her really tight grip.

"Is personal space a lost concept in your kingdom?" Lance asked, groaning.

"Star, remember our talk about boundaries," Marco said as he told his closest friend to let go, causing her to let go of Lance.

Rex then slapped Marco on the back with such vigor that he almost fell down.

"Marco, my amigo! Good to see ya!" Rex smiled as he greeted his pal.

Manny came up to Marco.

"Hope you're as excited as we are," Manny remarked.

Marco cleared his throat and composed himself.

"Uh yeah, sure. I'm definitely Mr. Excited. Heh. In all honesty, I'm glad I finally got my dimensional scissors to discern the difference between other copies of Earth, or it would've taken us a long time to get here." Marco smiles, slightly nervous but not showing it.

Then a fourth portal appeared, showing two figures: Steven Universe and Juniper Lee, of course. Following that, the portal closed behind them.

"Hello, everybody," Steven said.

Danny said, "Steven, June, I'm glad you two can make it."

Then a fifth doorway appeared, revealing Avatar Aang, master of the four elements.

"Sorry that I didn't arrive just in time guys, this dimension-hopping is still new to me," Aang stated.

Randy said, "Aang buddy, don't be, you made it just in time."

Then, with a blue zap, Penn Zero, the curly red-haired kid, his girlfriend, the bespectacled Sashi Kobayashi, and their friend, Boone Wiseman, arrived at the special gathering.

"Sorry for the delay, everyone; it took Boone some time to find the right flip-flops for the occasion," Penn added, pointing to his best friend.

"Even though each pair is exactly the same," Sashi stated as she gazed at Boone, disturbed by the so-called wise man's usual erratic conduct.

Boone responds, "You know flip-flops are my thing."

After that, a portal opened, and married couple Jack and Ashi stepped through it before it closed.

"Greetings, my friends," Jack remarked with a courteous bow.

"It is great to see you all again," Ashi added, following the bow.

"Well, if it isn't the newlyweds, I thought you two were too busy with your honeymoon or something." Rex chuckles, teasing in a fun tone.

"We've already decided on that business, Rex," Ashi replied, smiling coyly at her husband, who reddened slightly.

Solomon took note of every arrival and stated, "Okay. That just leaves-"

However, this was cut short when another gateway appeared.

Max Steel flew out of another portal in his flight mode, and the brown-haired and blue-eyed superhero shifted into his Turbo-Camouflage Mode, which is a disguise mode in which he now wears a dark blue jacket with a black exterior and a white pattern, as well as an M insignia that appears to be inspired by Steel. Dark gray cargo pants are on him. The same applies to shoes with a blue and black design.

Then Max and Steel notice that everyone is present, and they are the last to arrive.

"Aw, man. You see, Max? I knew we'd be the last ones to make it," Steel stated displeasedly, looking at Max.

"Come on, Steel. We need to make sure Extroyer is prepared for anything too bad." Max said.

Danny informs them, "And besides, we weren't going to begin with either you or Max."

"Yeah, you could have called us so we could help you stop Extroyer," Ben remarked, pointing to himself, Rex, and Zak.

Solomon clears his throat to get everyone's full attention.

"Well, now that you're all present and accounted for, we can get down to business," Solomon stated as he directed everyone to the vehicles behind him.

Everyone then sees the G3 vehicles on standby.

"If you would all please enter the mountain runners, we can begin our little trip, and I can assure you that you all will be quite pleased," Solomon added in his usual cryptic and dry tone, leaving most of them wondering what the leader of G3 meant.

It was disturbing, but they were still intrigued, so they all entered the vans. As they drove, they couldn't help but observe the construction in the city, which was undoubtedly part of the rebuilding efforts following the enormous invasion.

---

They were all driven outside the city limits. Wherever Solomon's surprise for them was, it had to be hidden from the rest of Sherman, which could be good in their case. Nonetheless, it was a lengthy voyage, and it didn't take long for certain members who were not known for their patience to express their displeasure.

"Ugh! Are we there yet?" Star exclaimed, sitting in a vehicle alongside Marco, Marinette, Adrien, Max, Randy, Aang, Steven, and Jake.

Aang nods and says, "Yeah, I mean, how do you guys survive in these things?"

"Hey, if you think these are rides that take too long, Aang? Try a New York taxi." Jake responds.

"If it helps, it can't be worse than riding in the same vehicle with Rex and Lance." Marinette said.

Rex and Lance were on the same bus with Boone, Sashi, Penn, Manny, Steven, and Jenny, as Marinette had predicted. The corporal kept his eyes closed and waited till the whole affair was over, mainly ignoring the presence of his alleged teammates. But then he felt his seat bump and returned an angry gaze to the passenger behind him.

"Can you go five whole minutes without doing that?" Lance said.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Rex answered quietly, placing his arms on the back of his head in a reclining position.

"Right, so I assume it wasn't you who was kicking my seat from the moment we took off," Lance stated in a deadpan tone.

"Hey, man. All I've been doing is relaxing. Right, Penn?" Red replied, looking at the red-haired teen.

"Please don't bring me into it; I've already dealt with these two," Penn remarked, pointing to his fiancée and closest friend.

Sashi took a smell and noticed Boone munching a bologna sandwich with his lips open; she couldn't help but groan in frustration.

"Eating inside a government vehicle. Really, Boone? Couldn't wait until the ride was over, huh?" Sashi stated with a stern expression.

"These are one of my favorite ways to pass the time, Sashi; perhaps if you were a little nicer, I'd actually share this delectable meal with you," Boone says her as he continues to eat like a slob.

Lance could only sigh in displeasure at the antics of the individuals he'd be fighting alongside from now on, and question why he couldn't have ridden with Ilana and Octus.

Speaking of those two, Ilana and Octus were with Ben, Danny, Jack, Ashi, Zak, June, Kim, and Ron as well with Solomon.

"I wonder what Solomon has in store for us," Ilana remarked, barely holding back her excitement.

"Yeah, me too, I can't wait to see it," June exclaimed, scarcely able to conceal her enthusiasm.

"That guy really knows how to keep secrets, doesn't he?" Ron exclaimed, unable to help himself.

But then Solomon gave Ron an enthusiastic glance, and Ron could only cover his mouth.

"Wait a minute. These cars aren't bugged, are they?" Ron asked, darting his eyes anxiously, hoping the intriguing man didn't hear what he said.

"It's alright, Ron. Solomon might be secretive. But, it is to be anticipated knowing his position as head of G3. Though, I too am somewhat curious to learn what he's been preparing since the invasion." Octus replied knowing that Ron was worried.

"Wanting to seek the truth requires one to be patient. If you can't find yourself to be so, then the truth will be far from your reach." Jack said with an air of stoicism.

"Huh, sounds like something the Nomicon would tell me." Randy whispers, staring at his bag, which contains an 800-year-old journal of ninja wisdom.

Danny simply stares blankly at Jack.

"Did you get that from a fortune cookie?" Danny said, making Ron and Rufus grimace.

Ben turns to Kim.

Ben says, "He's a keeper."

All of a sudden, each truck carrying the squad began to shift abruptly. The wheels entered concealed compartments, but instead of falling and colliding, the vehicles hovered and sailed over a body of water.

"Hey, what the heck just happened, are we sailing now?" Zak remarked, looking out the window and seeing the ocean.

From then, Ashi started noticing something.

"Look. Up ahead!" Ashi exclaimed, pointing to the island they were traveling towards.

Everyone then glanced to where Ashi was pointing, and she was correct; they were seeing an island.

The vehicles flew till they arrived at their objective. The cars land, and the doors automatically open, allowing the squad to depart.

What they witnessed astonished them.

A massive edifice stood before them, reaching to the sky. It was a well-built facility constructed of unbreakable metal alloys with multiple floors, and there was even a freeway near the entrance so they could escape if required. Next to it was a freight facility designed to store any flying aircraft, followed by an area that looked like a public pool. On top of the tower were the initials UL, indicating that this place belonged solely to them.

"Ultra Legion," Solomon muttered as he stepped out of the car.

Everyone then notices Solomon passing them and standing in front of the tower with a bright smile.

"Welcome to your new headquarters, Legion Tower," Solomon remarked as he presented each of them with their own headquarters. They all stared wide-eyed at their base, blown away by this more-than-worth-the-wait surprise.

"Cool..." Manny exhales, wishing Frida was here to see this.

"This is the most awesome place I've ever seen," Randy commented.

"This is the most amazing place I've ever seen," Steven stated.

"Ditto." Danny agrees, giving a fist bump with the Half-Gem hero.

Adrien whispers to his partner. "So, what do you think? Best day ever?"

Marinette nodded, her gaze locked to the tower, and murmured, "Totally."

"So honking, Bruce!" Randy exclaims.

"Impressive," Jack murmured with a satisfied expression.

"Breathtaking." Ashi smiles as she looks up.

Ron rests his hand on Kim's shoulder.

Ron nearly sobbed, "KP. We're home."

"Keep it together, baby," Kim replies with a laugh, unable to conceal her own surprise.

Jenny then uses her scanner, and to her astonishment, the tower is outfitted with G3 technology as well as mysterious technologies not native to Earth 5.

"Steel. Octus. Are you seeing the specs on it?" Jenny asks her inorganic colleagues.

The disguised Galaluna robot hums with curiosity.

"Indeed, Jenny. The structural designs appear adequate enough, and outfitted with advanced technology. It all seems to be a joint venture, no doubt." Octus responded,

Steel made a camera-clicking noise as he said, "Definitely saving this to my central cortex."

Star grabs Marco's sweatshirt shoulders and jerks him back and forth.

"Marco! This is our new place!" Star exclaims.

"You're...almost...making...me...barf...!" Marco replied.

Ilana addressed her ally as she "Solomon. Where did you find the time to build all this?" The idea that this was going on in her neck of the woods and she didn't see puzzled her.

Ben was also curious and asked, "Seriously, how did you get hooked on that tower? Tell us."

Thus, the head of G3 began his story of how he created the tower.

"In the aftermath of the Novatron invasion, I saw that you were all determined to stick together and fight the good fight. So I figured you needed a place to better plan your activities. A gathering place for you to work away from your home dimensions. Lance, Ilana, and Octus, do you recall when I asked to study your dimensional travel device?" Solomon spoke as he glanced at the giant triad.

The Titan trio then nodded in response.

"It was for the purpose of creating my own so that I might go to all of your Earths. I knew this small project would need more than just G3 resources. That is why I communicated with people from other organizations from different Earths and was able to meet with them. From Earth 1: Max Tennyson of the Plumbers, Commander Forge Ferrus of N-TEK, and White Knight of Providence, Doc and Drew Saturday along with the rest of the Secret Scientists. And from Earth 2, Dr. Director of Global Justice." Solomon added, listing the people who helped build the tower.

Ben's eyes widened as he realized his Grandfather had helped build this skyscraper, but he wasn't the only one. Max and Steel turned to each other in amazement, Ron and Rufus' jaws fell, Kim clutched her chin with her palm, and Zak mentally noted to speak with his parents later.

"Hold on. You're saying Knight helped cook this up? Doesn't sound like something he'd ever do," Rex questioned, his arms crossed.

"Ask him yourself when you have the chance," Solomon said, smirking softly.

Then Solomon returned to the main topic.

"As I was saying. We worked together to create this base for you and the team. Consider it a reward for your service. It is developed with technology from each firm, as some of you have discovered. "We designed it to be the ideal headquarters to meet all of your requirements," Solomon remarked.

"Getting our own tower to stop an alien invasion? Man, I can get used to this," Jake stated with satisfaction.

"If you follow me, we'll start the tour," Solomon explained as he led them to the main door.

The squad then followed Solomon until he came to a halt, at which point everyone stopped. Solomon then looked at Ben.

"Ben, care to step forward?" Solomon asked.

Curious, Ben does so, and a blue light scans his entire body while a female computer voice calls out.

"RECOGNIZED: BEN TENNYSON, CODE B-10," the female Ai announced as the doors opened on their own.

Everyone was surprised by it.

"Woah," Ben exclaimed.

"We programmed the tower to be accessible only to those with adequate clearance, which includes you. Solomon stated that any invader would be faced with a professional security system.

Solomon then looks at Ben.

"Also, I forgot to mention Ben; there is someone else who is assisting us in building this tower; I believe you know him by the name Azmuth; the creator of your Omnitrix also helps us in building this tower; and your Omnitrix is linked to the tower, which means you have access to any data files stored in the tower, with the exception of files that are prohibited to use, so I suggest you listen to my instructions." Solomon said.

"Wow, never thought Azmuth would help you guys build this Tower as well but Touche" Ben stated.

Ben and everyone else entered the Tower and are currently in the main lobby.

"Wow, this place is nifty," Marinette commented, pleased by the Main Lobby's decor.

It was swanky looking, and they followed Solomon into the elevator. Their first stop was an empty room large enough for a decent brawl.

"This is the training room. It's where you'll learn to improve your combat skills or spar with each other," Solomon explained.

"Can you really show us something in this room that will impress us?" Sashi said.

Solomon smirked as he activated the chamber and a robot drone appeared out of thin air.

This room can create holograms with solid mass and as an added bonus..." Solomon stated.

Solomon then adjusts the environment settings to make the room resemble a tropical beach.

"You can train in any environment of your choice," Solomon remarked.

"Hmm, not bad," Lance replied, unable to deny how stunning this was.

"Here we have the lab. You can collect and save data in the main computer, and if you want, we have enough supplies for any field of research for anyone who is skilled at running tests, as well as developing any type of technology you desire." Solomon explained as he showed them around the lab room.

Zak smiles, as do Octus and Steel; they're going to have a great time here.

The next level took them all the way to the top, where they found a large window sill with a clear view of the vast ocean, not to mention the entire city, as well as a massive couch large enough to accommodate all of them. To put it lightly, it was a recreational space, with a kitchen nearby.

"If you want to unwind and rest, the top floor is ideal. This area includes a holographic screen." Solomon stated

Solomon then switches it on, showing an old cartoon of a rabbit and a duck before turning it off.

"The tower also features an armory to store your gear, a space outside for any vehicles you may have, and, of course, a level with your own unique individual rooms. Jack, Ashi, since you two are married, you'll share one," Solomon remarked.

Jack expresses his gratitude by saying, "Much appreciated, my friend."

"Hey, guys. Check out the view." Marco commented as he sat on the sofa.

Marco can see the ocean and much of Sherman from there.

"The entire city can be seen from up here," Marco explained.

The rest joined shortly after and appreciated the view, but Lance did not join them.

Lance stated, "This is all impressive, but I don't see how we can be more coordinated here."

Adrien remarked, "Oh, come on, Lance. Lighten up already; we have our own fancy headquarters. Don't rain on our parade."

Star spoke up as well. "Yeah, you big parade rainer."

Lance could do nothing except be annoyed by what they had just stated.

But Solomon directs everyone back to the elevator.

"Perhaps one of our final steps will interest you," Solomon added, as he demonstrated something interesting to the team.

They climbed back in and headed down, and it was a long way down. They had to grab onto something as they moved quickly, and they soon realized they were passing through an underwater conduit. Star and Manny are amused as they watch fish swim by. They arrive in the underwater area, where a big locked door that resembles a blast door awaits them. Solomon enters the entry codes, and they see the inside, which includes a holographic map of the entire world, a few weapons on standby, and a vast circular table with 26 chairs for each of them.

"This is the sub-basement. You can gather here to discuss important matters, and you'll also receive emergency warnings and missions from myself and the other aforementioned higher-ups," Solomon stated.

"Is this good enough for you now?" Ilana said, softly teasing her bodyguard.

"Maybe...Yeah, it's good enough for me," Lance replied.

"Now, if you'll join me up to the top," Solomon remarked, gesturing for the team to follow him.

Returning to the outside, Solomon shows them the airplane field, which featured parking places and a structure. He opened the doors to reveal a familiar aircraft, but in fluorescent blue and dark white, with a nicer paint job, a UL logo on each side, and grey and black lines for design.

Manny recalls: "Hey, that's the same ship we used to rescue Ben."

"We made new modifications to it. Fit with a new name: the Photon. It can travel at great speeds, to both space and other dimensions, has crew quarters, and a new communications system," Penn stated, looking at Sashi and giving her a smirk that caused her to punch his arm playfully.

"Well, I should leave you guys now," Solomon stated as he exited.

"You aren't staying?" Ilana inquired.

Solomon looks back at the princess.

"This tower was built for the Ultra Legion, of which I am not a member, but just so you know, if you need anything, G3 will gladly supply you with it, as will the other organizations that helped make all of this possible. You might also find other aspects of the tower that will please the majority of you, as you were," Solomon said as a G3 ship landed in front of them.

Solomon then enters the ship and locks the door of the ship, and the team watches it take off into the sky.

"So, what now?" June inquired.

Lance said, "I'll be in the meeting room." He walked away without saying anything else.

"I should accompany him. To keep him company," Ilana suggested.

"It doesn't appear the guy prefers company. Well, I believe we should explore this island a little further; Solomon promised us that there might be some surprises. Why not look around? Are there any takers?"Rex said.

Jake shrugs, "I have nothing better to do."

Steven said, "I'm game."

Manny joins them, saying, "Count me in."

"I hope there's room for one more," Max stated as the party made their way to the island's forest areas to see what awaited them.

"Better make that two," Adrien said as he joined in as well.

"I want to take a crack at that science lab," Zak replied, ready to get started.

"I'll accompany you," Octus remarked while walking with Zak.

"Wait up." Jenny followed suit.

Penn turned to his girlfriend and asked, "So, I take it you're going to the training room?" despite already knowing the answer.

"Oh, yeah," Sashi responded as she quickly took out her own pink MUHU, which, when attached to her chest, activates her battle armor and leaps forward to gain first dibs.

Danny had a similar notion and added, "You know, I want to try going around in there. See if it's as good as Solomon said."

"I was thinking the same thing." Kim smiled.

"I guess we all agreed to go to the training room, so let's go," Ben remarked as he, Danny, and Kim dashed to the elevator and waste no time getting to the training room Solomon and the others had set up for them.

"Then, shall we?" Jack asked as he and Ashi followed Ben, Danny, and Kim.

"Wait up, I want to join too," Aang remarked, following them to the training room.

Star felt her tummy growl.

"Think we can go to that kitchen?" Star inquired.

Marco then glanced at Star and asked, "Really? You just ate strawberry muffins before we left."

"Yeah, but now I am hungry again. Why don't you make me some of your Nachos? They're delicious, and while you're at it, why not try some yourself, guys? "Marco makes the best nachos," Star replied, looking at the others.

Ron's interest was immediately sparked when he heard Star describe his favorite snack dish.

"Seriously? Put on an apron, Marco, 'cause I gotta eat!" Ron exclaimed, practically drooling and Rufus caressed his pink stomach in anticipation.

"He won't stop until you say yes, Marco!" Kim warns, shouting back in response.

"Can't be any worse than what they serve on Tuesdays at my school," Randy said, still throwing up in his mouth when he recalls that he and other kids used to consume meals mixed with genuine roadkill, in addition to the principal's after-school activities.

"Heck, we can all eat." Penn shrugs.

"Great! Now, let's go!" Star said as she pulled Marco inside, with everyone following them.

---

Venturing into the woods to discover anything good was surely a problem because there was so much forest on this island; some of the boys were becoming tired of it.

"Jeez, you'd think Solomon would've given us a heads up about this secret surprise or something; not to mention the pest control problem," Jake added, slapping a few bugs away.

"Who wants to beg that he was just pulling our leg?" Adrien inquired.

"I didn't get a joking feeling from him. In fact, it's difficult to get a feeling from that guy." Max responds.

Rex nods, agreeing with what Max just said.

"Yeah, kind of like someone I know back home. Plus Lance," Rex mutters as he immediately thinks of Agent Six.

Manny moans, "Too bad we can't finish this faster."

Steven has an idea in his mind.

"Actually, Manny, I can help with that," Steven replied.

Steven transforms into his Pink State.

"I'll be right back," Steven stated as he ran off at super speed.

Steven returned to the others after a minute.

"I found something! Follow me!" Steven said as he dashed away once more, leaving them in the dust.

"Oh, come on, dude, not cool," Cat Noir exclaimed as he and the boys dashed to where Steven was.

They eventually discovered Steven had returned to his normal shape, and behind him was a basketball court.

"Whoa, I didn't think he'd include this," Manny replied, but was nonetheless happy.

"Most of our team members, including you guys, are teenagers. Makes sense when you think about it," Steel added.

Rex then smirked and added, "Hey, folks. Who wants to shoot hoops, Super Style?"

Everyone else grinned as they realized what he meant.

It was a three-on-three match. Rex, Cat Noir, and Max face Jake, El Tigre, and Steven, with Cat Noir and El Tigre having morphed into superheroes, Steven into his Pink State, and Max in his Turbo Speed Mode.

Cat Noir sprinted while dribbling the ball toward the opposite hoop, but Steven intercepted him by sliding his leg beneath Cat Noir's feet.

"Sorry, Cat Noir, but the ball is mine," Steven stated as he kept the ball from Cat Noir.

The Half Gem Hero jumps and is about to score a point for his team, but Max Steel takes the ball from Steven's hand before he can blink or react.

"What the?" Steven remarked, unable to keep up with Max due to his speed.

"Denied!" Max said as he sped along and effortlessly made a slam dunk.

El Tigre pounces on the ball and declares, "We're not out of this yet!"

El Tigre may be little, but that doesn't mean he isn't suited to score. He was able to get past both Max and Cat Noir, but there was still one obstacle in his way.

"Sorry, little buddy, but this is your stop," Rex remarked, using the Blast Caster to go after the ball.

However, El Tigre laces his claws to oppose it, and the young hero hops on top of Rex's head and utilizes him to launch himself in order to score for his squad.

"Jake, over to you!" El Tigre said as he tossed the ball to the dragon, who had flown over to score a point.

"Uh-Huh! Can't touch this, fools! All yours, Steve!" Jake said as he threw the ball to Steven.

Steven was certain that he would win this, if not for Cat Noir's timely intervention, who used his speed and agility to capture the ball.

"Hey, no fair," Steven muttered, becoming upset with Cat Noir.

"Sorry, Steven. But, this one's mind." Cat Noir replies as he makes his way to the hoops.

Cat Noir then shot the ball into the basket, allowing his team to win, before landing in front of them.

"And that's game," Cat Noir stated.

Jake, on the other hand, was not pleased, saying, "I call a rematch, Cat."

Max wipes his forehead to remove the sweat and says, "You know, we could invite some of the others for some action; we might be a superhero team, but we can still have fun."

"I can tell you right now, don't expect Lance to say yes and he'll probably say 'sorry' all the time, I'm too busy brooding in a dark corner and worrying about the princess because, I don't really have that much of a life outside of my work, yadda, yadda, yadda..." Rex said, adopting a dark glare in a poor attempt to imitate the corporal.

"What do you have against Lance, anyway? I mean, yeah, he can be a bit of a jerk, but I believe he just has to give this team a chance." Cat Noir replied, understanding what Rex had seen in Lance but still finding it a bit excessive.

"That's the thing: I don't believe he will. Come on, you've seen the way he acts. The dude prefers to fly solo and only accepts assistance from Ilana and Octus. Plus, he doesn't seem to be as excited as we are about working together," Rex said.

"Maybe, but I think he just needs to get to know us better. I mean, he's not talking smack about us at this point," Max explained.

"I agree with Max; we just need Lance to get to know us better so he can trust us," Steel says, agreeing with Max's statement.

---

"So, to summarize, the majority of this team's members are gung-ho reckless amateurs who never stop to think before blasting things with no restraint," Lance stated as he stood behind a screen that displayed numerous disadvantages of some of the people assembled in their new headquarters.

The Corporal only had to bring out their flaws to demonstrate to Ilana that there could be numerous difficulties in the future.

"Knowing this, can you honestly say that we are prepared to manage any circumstance that comes our way? We may have defeated the Novatrons collectively, but it was only by pure chance. I'm not sure if they'd be reliable for other missions," Lance added.

If there was one thing that troubled Ilana, it was Lance's harsh criticism in a variety of areas, as well as his hesitation to trust others. She'd known him long enough to know that beneath his hard demeanor, he had a beating heart; he just had trouble demonstrating it.

Ilana remarked, "Look, Lance, it's too soon to judge them so quickly; we haven't even gone on our first mission yet, and you're already developing conclusions."

"For a good reason. We don't know much about these guys except that we're not sure about their dependability on the field, which you should be concerned about." Lance stated the scenario.

Ilana grew saddened by what Lance had just spoken, but he saw it and sighed, adopting a softer expression.

"Look, I know how excited you are about the prospect, but no matter how you look at it, we can't totally trust them yet. Especially one in particular," Lance continued, his mind turning to a certain machine boy who knows nothing about restraint.

"That's the whole purpose, Lance. We may not know each other very well right now, but give it time. I guarantee that we'll be a tight-knit group that can count on one another. That is the entire purpose of a team like this: to assist each other to grow as people and become better than we are now. I have hope for the Ultra Legion; perhaps you should as well. If not for me and Octus, then perhaps for yourself," Ilana stated.

Lance couldn't truly disagree with Ilana's reasoning, but he still had doubts.

"Maybe, but I don't think we'll understand each other if we're imprisoned up on this island," Lance remarked.

Ilana's mind instantly lit up with an idea.

"That's true..." Ilana replied, rubbing her chin in thinking.

Lance couldn't help but be cautious as he asked, "What are you thinking?"

---

"Yes, Mom. I'm completely safe. No, there are no issues on my systems. I think I'd know that" Jenny sighed in frustration as she heard her mother speak through the phone connection that can travel beyond dimensions.

It's no wonder that Nora Wakeman found a way to go through it all simply to check on her kid.

"Yeah. Okay, I love you too. Jenny said goodbye, quickly hanging up before her creator/mother could finish, and rubbed her metal head.

Jenny could only groan in annoyance as her mother chastised her.

"Crikey, is there no place safe from her?" Jenny responded.

Zak was sitting on a chair, studying through the science materials, when he looked up from his work to notice Jenny's troubled expression.

"Are you having trouble with your parents?" Zak inquired.

"Trouble with A parent. But, yeah. I gotta ask, Zak. Do you have folks who are unnecessarily overprotective, even though you can handle yourself pretty okay?" Jenny said.

At that point, the young secret scientist reminisced and realized he had the ideal answer.

"You have no idea. I can't blame them, though. You should have seen me when I was around eleven. I used to get into a lot of trouble with my brother, Fiskerton. I've grown up since then, but they are still my parents. What are you going to do?" Zak said.

Octus, who was monitoring the surroundings, joined in on the conversation.

"Jenny, your creator who acts as a maternal figure to you, obviously wants to make sure that no injury or distress befalls you in another dimension. It is a natural and typical characteristic of parental units, and I sometimes have to express the same concern when I am in my dad disguise," Zak said.

"Dad disguise?" Zak and Jenny ask.

Octus demonstrates this by changing from his Newton disguise to his dad disguise, then back to Newton again.

"It's part of my, Lance's, and Ilana's coverage as an average suburban family," Octus explained.

Jenny said, "Clever."

"I suppose you have a point, Octus. To be honest, their guidance has always benefitted me in the past. Speaking of my parents, I'd like to thank them for making this place possible, particularly the lab here. It's just like the lab back on the airship, but with all of the other dimensional technology, I could create some incredible items for us to use. For example, a limitless supply of gasoline for our ship, or even some new equipment. Seriously, this is pretty high-quality material; we could even make some improvements, though they may need to be tested before being used on missions. Not to mention the long hours I might have to work-" Zak began, then paused as he realized something.

Zak knew the answer from what he did recently.

"I'm rambling, aren't I?" Zak remarked, blushing with shame.

Jenny chuckled and answered, "Little bit, yeah."

"Oh, that's what I thought. But can you blame me? This entire setup is a scientist's dream," Zak replied, scratching his nape.

"Agreed. Your ideas sound extremely persuasive. Perhaps I could assist along with Steel as well; the three of us can give the team with technological advances that, in turn, could support us in the field." Octus stated, making Zak smile.

Octus then pauses for a moment as he receives a message from someone.

Octus stated, "I am getting a message from Ilana."

Zak and Jenny soon received the same messages on their transportation devices, leaving them interested in what the Galaluna princess wanted.

---

The training room easily exceeded the team's expectations after Solomon instructed them on what they could anticipate.

Ben, Danny, Jack, Aang, Ashi, Kim, and Sashi all reached an agreement after entering the training program.

From above, we see Danny Phantom hovering above as numerous flying drones fire at him, but he disappears to dodge their range of fire. When he turned solid, he shot numerous ecto-blasts at them, causing them to vanish into pixel data bytes. He then noticed two more drones after him, so he activated his belt and transformed into a sword powered by Ecto-Energy while changing into his Budding State. Danny then uses his sword to cut the two drones into bytes.

From the ground, we witness an alien with an animalistic, doglike physique. He has no eyes, orange fur, and gills on both sides of his neck. He has a long orange tail with dark stripes at the end. He wears a green, black, and white horned helmet and a matching saddle on his back. He also has wrappings around his wrists, and the Omnitrix sign sits on the top of his helmet.

Ben was in his alien form, Wildmutt, using his enhanced speed and agility to avoid being shot by the four practice dummies wielding weapons.

"ROOARRRR" Wildmutt roars as he uses his sharp claws to break the practice dummies, converting them into bytes.

When Ben finishes the other dummies, Kim charges at the other three practice dummies with staff weapons, carefully avoiding each hit and kneeing one in the chin to claim its weapon. She then strikes at more of the dummies with jabs, all of which vanish into bytes.

Aang then enters the scene and destroys the other five practice dummies using a combination of firebending and airbending to strike them, causing all of the dummies to instantaneously dissipate into bytes.

After they've finished with the other dummies, Jack engages in many sword bouts with one who was four-armed and held a blade in each hand. The samurai blocks each stroke aimed at him, quickly severing one limb, then the remaining three, and finally plunging his supernatural blade through the opponent's chest, causing him to vanish.

Jack's wife, Ashi, was fighting a gigantic behemoth that stampeded at her, but the half-demon slipped past its grips and extended her fists to super size, catching two fists and tearing the computer-generated arms off, causing the opponent to flee.

Sashi sprints through the area as orb missiles are thrown at her, but she quickly slices and dices them with her energy blades.

Wildmutt suddenly turned back into Ben Tennyson, and Danny landed in front of everyone.

"Not bad, you guys. We all pulled it off pretty great." Ben replied.

"So not the drama; you should see Ron and me when we're on missions." Kim shrugs, spinning the staff like a baton before tossing it aside, where it disappears into data.

"I must say, this training room will be satisfactory in keeping everyone at their fullest." Jack said honestly.

"Me too, it might help us improve are fighting abilities" Aang replied.

"Is anyone else wondering if the others are doing well?" Ashi asks.

"I'm sure they're fine. There's no big emergency, so they're probably goofing off. I know Boone is." Sashi responds with a shrug.

But Danny couldn't help thinking about something, which Jack picked up on.

"Is something bothering you, Danny?" Jack inquired.

"Nothing major. But I can't help but notice that, despite the fact that we have our own name and location, which essentially makes us official, we can't immediately band together to fight against extraterrestrial invasion. I'm just downplaying the win to make a point. I've been friends with Jake and Randy for a long time, and Jake previously paired up with Kim and Ron; all I'm saying is that if we're going to be a strong team, we've got to learn to be a little more...close." Danny stated.

Jack placed a finger to his chin and said, "Hmm. You make a very compelling point. When I was a child, my father would always tell me stories about the most powerful of kingdoms, whose strength did not just come from the sheer size of their numbers or power, but from their reliance on each other, which stemmed from their close bond, which helped them win many victories over invading forces."

"So, what?" Are you suggesting we get together for sleepovers?" Sashi says rhetorically, with a faint snide tone.

"I'm not sure, Sashi. Danny's not really wrong; what do you think, Ben?" Kim asked as she turned around to face Ben.

Ben then placed his finger to his chin as he considered the entire team idea but was unable to find a response.

Ben smiled and added, "Well, um...I guess only time will tell."

Everyone smiled at Ben because he believed their team bond will grow stronger someday, and Ashi received a message.

"Did anyone else just receive a message from Ilana?" Ashi said.

Ben and everyone else get Ilana's message as well.

"Yeah. Says to meet at the lobby, guess we should go check it out." Ben replied.

---

It was fortunate that the kitchen already had adequate culinary supplies for Marco to use. Otherwise, it would have taken him a long time to prepare nachos for everyone.

"Alright, guys. There aren't that much, so try to take small pieces at a time and don't be..." Marco replied.

But Marco hadn't finished his explanation when everyone dashed off to get as much as they could.

"...selfish. Never mind, go right ahead. It's not like I can make more." Marco replied.

"Oh, quit complaining. They love them. See?" Star replied.

Surely enough, the others were really happy with the food.

Randy replied, "Dude, these are the cheese. Literally." He dipped his into the cheese and ate more.

Penn hums in agreement before noticing his best friend doing something.

"Boone, why are you only eating the cheese?" Penn inquires, noting that the so-called wise man is stuffing his mouth with nothing but cheese and leaving the nachos alone.

"Consider it an alternative. By stuffing my mouth with cheese, then stuffing it with the nachos, I don't have to dip it first. Pretty genius, right?" Boone stated as he continued to shove cheese in his mouth, the cheese dripping from his lips and staining the floorboards.

Watching this made Marinette and June shiver in disgust.

"Gross. Do you even see the mess you're making?" Marinette asked.

"I'm with Ladybug on that, you guys should learn table manners because you guys disgusting when you guys eat like that." June responded.

Rufus chirps cheerfully on his owner's shoulder.

"This is good, dude." Ron admits as he continues to eat.

Then Ron is not satisfied yet, while the nachos that Marco made are delicious, they cannot replace his taste buds.

"But it had nothing on the miracles of Bueno Nacho's can serve up. Hey, you guys should visit our Earth and come to Middleton someday and hang out with us. It provides the absolute best for its customers. With any luck, I'll order some delicious nacos for everyone in the house." Ron added.

Marinette raised an eyebrow and said, "What are nacos?"

Ron huffed his chest out in pride as he told them all about the Nacos.

"Something of my own design. Listen carefully, children, as I describe the deliciousness that is the naco. Now, we all know that nachos and tacos are delicious on their own, but one day I wondered what would happen if these two cuisines were combined into a superfood. And thus I invented the naco. The perfect combination of the two, and rather popular if I do say so myself." Ron stated.

Randy couldn't believe what Ron had just said.

"Wait a minute, Ron. Are you saying you actually made a fusion of nachos and tacos? You better not tease us, man. A buddy of mine has been dreaming of something like that since we were in kindergarten, and you better not mess with us, because that would not be cool." Randy said as he warned Ron.

"I do not tease you, young ninja Randy; I guarantee you that one bite will open your eyes to a whole new world of flavor that will leave your taste buds begging for more," Ron remarked, as he told Randy that the Nacos would astonish his palate.

Before Randy can react, he notices an unsettling red glow coming from his bag, which causes him to grumble inwardly and wonder why that book is acting up now of all times.

"Um, hold that thought, guys. I gotta use the can real quick." Randy stated as he made a beeline for the nearest boys' toilet that they discovered previously, which mercifully had stalled.

Randy then sits on the toilet and pulls out the Ninjanomicon, an eight-century-old chronicle replete with the wisdom and knowledge accumulated and documented by countless previous ninjas.

"Alright, Nomicon, this had better be good. I'm about to discover a revolutionary snack food and I don't wanna miss out." Randy says as he opens the pages and soon drops asleep as his consciousness is absorbed by the ancient book.

Randy screams as he falls through the numerous pages, passing by several drawings of ninja warriors and Japanese mythological creatures before landing hard on a rocky terrain, causing him to feel his hurting head.

Randy replied, still holding his head, "Ow! That was the easily the most painful schloomp." He then saw a big shogun with several other soldiers, and above them was the book's latest lesson.

Rely on your teammates rather than just yourself. Victory can only be reached by working together, and that requires unity.

Randy reads this and scratches his purple locks.

"What? You're saying that the legion aren't that close? That's just crazy, I mean, we were able to stop an alien invasion. I honestly like our chances as a group." Randy replied.

The shogun and his men exchanged looks, but Randy was instantly jolted back into the real world.

Randy said, "I gotta find a timer for this thing."

Randy then jumps when the door starts knocking and Marco's voice comes through.

"Hey, Randy. You decent in there?" Marco asked.

The purple-haired boy quickly returned the book to his bag and responded, "Uh, yeah. Just about finished, Marco. What's up?"

Then Boone spoke up.

"Ilana just sent out a mass message over our transport things. "She said to meet in the lobby, so it must be important," Boone remarked.

---

Curiosity fills the air as the entire team gathers at the main entrance lobby after receiving the message sent by the Galalunian princess; she is standing with Lance, who has his hands in his pockets and displays an unenthusiastic expression in contrast to the cheerful grin his best friend has plastered all over her face.

"Alright, Ilana. I'll bite. What did you call us here for?" Max asks as Steel floats behind him; they and those who went to the basketball court were the last to arrive due to their distance from the tower.

"Yeah, we were in the middle of wiping the floor with these fools," Jake remarked, jerking a thumb toward the opposing team.

"I'm pretty sure you have that backward, Jake," Steel contends.

Ilana clears her throat, directing everyone's attention to her as she begins to speak about what she wants to discuss.

"Okay, guys. The reason why I called all of you here is because I've been conversing with Lance, and I've realized that if we're going to work together, we need to interact in a way that doesn't require any form of invasion. As a result, I believe it is only reasonable that we all spend some time in the city. A way to show you all what it's like when it's not being attacked," Ilana explained.

"Seriously? That's why you called us out here, Ilana? Last I checked, this team wasn't a social club, princess," Sashi inquires with a doubtful expression.

"Not necessarily. But, Sashi, you must realize that this could prove to be good for us all; I have recorded that social interaction is an important team-building exercise." Octus conceded.

Marinette stepped up next, saying, "Yeah. I mean, we are going to be working together from now on. What if we have a mission in one of our hometowns? It might help us get a lay of the land or anything like that."

"I agree with Ladybug; if we want to work as a team, we must first understand each other," Danny stated.

"Then, are we in agreement?" Jack inquired.

Everyone then nodded in response to what Jack had just spoken.

"Thus, we shall move forward with your suggestion, Princess Ilana," Jack stated as he moved to the exit.

However, Ilana intervened and stopped Jack.

"Is something wrong?" Jack asked.

Ilana laughs uneasily and says, "Not to be offensive, Jack, but your clothing choices aren't exactly...up to date."

Ben pointed to Aang and said, "Same with you, Aang."

"What? Is there something wrong with my clothes?" Aang questioned, inspecting his outfit.

"Dudes, they're right. You guys really play it old school." Jake said.

"It would attract unwelcome attention, and believe me when I say that keeping a low profile pays off. However, you guys can still keep your weapons. Just hide it somewhere," Zak replied.

Jack stares at his white gi, puzzled, and says, "Then, what do you suggest we wear?"

"Yeah, I was going to ask the same question," Aang remarked as he continued to check his outfit.

Ilana smiled and added, "I have just the thing for you two."

Minutes later, the team waited for Aang and Jack to change into their new outfits, which Ilana had chosen for them to better fit in with the era. They finally appeared, dressed in civilian clothes.

Aang is dressed in red pants, white and gray converse shoes, a black shirt under a light orange jacket, a hoodie to cover the arrow from his hat, black fingerless gloves, and a black and orange striped hat.

Jack is dressed in blue pants, dark shoes, and a white shirt layered with a blue jacket.

"Wow. That's not a bad look for you guys," Marinette commented, approving what they were wearing.

Jake gave Aang and Jack a thumbs up, saying, "Looking fly, bros."

"Heh, thanks," Aang replied.

Jack appreciates the praises but takes a time to admire his new attire.

"Hmm. It feels odd not wearing my gi. During most of my travels, I always had it on at all times, and it was rare for me to not use it. It is the signature of a samurai." Jack replied.

"First time for everything, and I think it looks very slimming on you," Ashi said, kissing her husband on the cheek.

"By the way, Ashi. I'm afraid I couldn't find anything for you to wear." Ilana stated, reluctantly informing the half demon.

Ashi concentrates hard on finding a solution to this problem as the black mass enveloping her body begins to move and transform into clothing of her choice. The mass changes into a short hoodless jacket over a red tank top, motorcycle shorts, and black boots.

"Does this look well, Jack?" Ashi asks the samurai, who can only gaze agape.

"Uh...g-great." That was all Jack could say as he was mesmerized by her clothing.

Randy then whispers to Star.

Randy snickers with Star, "And I thought we were the teenagers."

June then turned to face the robot girl and added, "What about you, Jenny? No offense, but we can't just say you're really pale with dyed blue hair."

Nora Wakeman's greatest creation smiles at June.

Jenny remarked, "I thought ahead, June," as her internal gears began to transform, forming a shell over her metal body.

Jenny now resembles a typical teenage girl, with red hair pulled into pigtails and dressed in a blue dress, black shoes, and white socks.

"I had mom work on this human look in case I needed to disguise myself for a mission." Jenny replied.

June said, "Smart."

"Okay, now all we need is some transportation," Ilana remarked, clapping her fists.

---

The legion boarded the Photon with Lance in the driver's seat and flew to Sherman in stealth mode to avoid causing any panic among the population. They had already gone through enough when the Novatrons assaulted their city, and this would entirely undercut their objective of acting as saviors to them.

"Man, I knew this place was hit hard with the alien invasion and all, but I didn't think there'd be this much damage. Is it the same as the places we went to when we split up to attack all those alien fortresses?" Star wonders as she looks at all the reconstruction efforts and the Titan trio.

"Indeed, Star. So far, things are progressing smoothly in the repairs to all the cities that were hit the hardest, but it's still a long way from being restored." Octus replied with a nod to Star.

Star tapped her chin, and her wand began to sparkle.

"I got it! I can use my magic to fix everything!" Star replied.

"Uh, you sure that's a good idea, Star? Most of your spells are mostly for blowing stuff up than fixing stuff." June responded.

"That, and every time you try to use it as a shortcut, it kinda only makes things worse." Marco reminds her of this.

Stars gape in horror at the accusation.

Star said, "I do not."

Then Star activated her magic.

"Otis the opposum?" Star said.

Beat.

"Okay. Fair point," Star replied.

"I hope you don't take offense, but I think it'd be best if we all don't use any of our powers," Danny informs them all, seeing their shocked reactions.

Ben then explains why.

"I agree with Danny; we're in a completely different Universe, one that is unfamiliar with some of what we've seen. Save for aliens, I'm not sure how they'd respond if they saw us and our...gifts." Ben stated.

"We can agree on that: this city has already been through enough, and the last thing the people need is to worry about a bunch of kids who use their inhuman abilities without restraint. You might as well flush this entire Ultra Legion plan down the toilet, so don't do anything crazy." Lance speaks up, keeping his eyes on the sky.

Kim looked at a few of the others and remarked, "You know, he could just say don't mess up; the whole tough soldier act is a little much."

Manny laments, "And how come he gets to drive."

The Possible girl ruffles his hair.

"I'm pretty sure you might need to be as tall as him and have a license, Manny," Kim added with a mischievous chuckle, making Manny sulk somewhat.

"Prepare for landing," Lance remarked as he was about to land the ship.

The Photon lands on the roof of an old abandoned building, and everyone makes their way down to the street pavement. This was an area of Sherman that had been completely rebuilt, at least for the most part. A few buildings remained closed to the general public, but otherwise, activities continued as usual.

"Alright, so I think the best place to go is right there," Ilana said, pointing to a building that was indistinguishable from a shopping center, also known as...

"A mall? Seriously? We're gonna hang out at a mall? Isn't that kind of cliche for most of us?" Rex asked, referring to himself and the other teenage members, who made up the majority of the group.

"What are you talking about? This is absolutely perfect! We can totally get to understand each other here. It's the best choice I can think of!" Marinette exclaimed with a big grin.

"Better than nothing." Zak shrugs as he and everyone else enter the mall.

---

Soon, the Legion are inside the mall, where Ilana directs them to a map of the area.

"Okay, we can maybe go to the..." Ilana remarked, surveying to see where they all wanted to go.

Ilana then sought for the ideal area to hang out.

"Hmm, the best I can find is the food court. That way, we can all be together." Ilana responded.

With that, the team walked to the food court, where they were able to acquire a table for everyone while Max, Marco, and Marinette went to order on the group's behalf.

"Alright, that's three boxes of pepperoni pizza, and one box of veggie pizza, plus soda drinks and fries; that'll be $75.95," the cashier informed them.

Marinette then looked into her purse, which contained Tikki, and realized she did not have that much money.

"Shoot. I don't have that kind of money. Max, what about you?" replied Marinette.

The half-Tachyon hybrid pulls out his empty pockets and says, "Sorry. I'm cleaned out."

They were surprised when Marco handed the clerk a large wad of cash.

Marco remarked, "This should be enough," as he handed the cashier the exact change.

The Cashier receives the payment and leaves to collect their order, and the hoodie-wearing youngster catches both of his buddies staring at him, making him anxious.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Marco asked.

"Marco, where did you get all that money?" Max wonders, still baffled.

The Ladybug miraculous holder nodded and remarked, "Seriously, that had to be more than eighty dollars. Your parents must give you a huge allowance."

"Allowance?" Marco asked, averting their gazes slightly.

Marco finally understands what they are talking about.

"Uh, yeah, sure. That's how I got my money. Definitely no other explanation." Marco responded as he hoped word of 'Turdina' never reached the Legion, or else they'd never let him hear the end of it.

Marco taps his fingers on the counter, then swiftly changes the subject to avoid further questions regarding the source of his seeming money.

"Soooo, what's it like being both superheroes and high school students?" Marco inquired.

Marinette shakes her head and says, "Honestly, it couldn't be more frustrating. Always having to keep secrets from your friends and family, and not to mention all the times Cat and I have to deal with the supervillain of the week instead of doing our own things, so yeah, it's not exactly the world's most perfect job. Part of me wonders how I got this far without making a mistake."

"For me, it's almost easy. My folks have been playing the "saving the world" game since before I was born. It is also beneficial to have buddies in a planet-protecting military force. That doesn't mean it's simple to conceal your hidden identity from some of your more nosy and bright friends, except Ben, Rex, and Zak," Max explained as he shared his own story.

Max then stared at Marco.

"How about you?" What kinds of adventures do you and Star get into?" Max asked.

Marco chuckles dryly at this.

"The crazy kind. We're not exactly living two lives, but that doesn't mean we haven't faced our fair share of dodgy persons seeking Star's wand. Aside from that, we just go to any dimension to have fun until something dangerous happens to us," Marco explained.

---

Meanwhile, the others were waiting at the table, conversing with one another.

"So you have ghost powers that any ghost can use, Danny," Octus remarked.

"And yet, it was caused by a ghost portal that your dad invented and your girlfriend asked you to go into the portal and check it out. For every reason, this results in you having that power by an accident." Steven said.

Danny exhales calmly and says, "I prefer an unfortunate accident, Steven."

"Accidents aren't that bad. How else do you suppose I could have obtained the Omnitrix? The Omnitrix wasn't meant for me; it was intended for my grandfather, but grandpa decided that I was the best choice for keeping the Omnitrix." Ben stated, looking at his Omnitrix.

Ron then looked at Ben.

"So, Ben, how many aliens can you turn into?"Ron inquired.

"I started with only 10 when I got the prototype, but after acquiring the completed version, I unlocked a lot more forms over the years, so I'd say about 989." Ben stated.

"989! Can you turn into one right now?! Pleaaaaase?" Star exclaimed hoping Ben would morph into an alien.

Zak nudges Star and says, "Remember the talk about low profile?"

"Oh, yeah, Mr. Mind Reader? Then how do I know you're not using those psycho tricks on me?" Star stated, narrowing her eyes.

Ron's eyes widened, and he remarked, "Zak, she has a point."

Zak clarifies his point by pinching his nasal bridge.

"Okay, first of all, you're thinking of psychic, Star. And secondly, I can only read the minds of cryptids. Can't even imagine how reading human minds is like." Zak responded.

Kim frowned. "I don't think I'd appreciate someone just searching through my head."

Adrien was talking it up with the Norrisville Ninja.

"So, on your earth, there had been way more ninjas before you, Randy?" Adrien replied.

"Pretty much. Every four years, a new ninja is chosen. A freshman is handed the book and mask and must carry on the legacy of protecting the town of Norrisville from the forces of evil and all that." Randy said as he shared more Ninja history with Adrien from his Earth.

"Huh. Kind of the same with me and Bugaboo; previous Miraculous holders existed throughout history before we were chosen," Adrien replied, looking at his ring.

Randy then brought something to his mind.

"You know, Cat. I don't understand why you and Ladybug won't tell us who you are beneath those masks; we're not blabbermouths. Jake, Danny, and I know our secrets; come on, why are you guys not revealing your identities to each other, and the same goes for Ben, Rex, Max, and Steel, given that you all live on the same earth." Randy said as he reassures his fellow superheroes.

Adrien scratched his nape and said, "It's not that we don't trust you guys; it's just that our secret identities are pretty serious. We don't even know each other, and believe it or not, she's very serious about keeping that rule from being broken. I could have some problems, but then again, ladies do love mystery, except for the fact that Ladybug has a crush on Ben, even though she won't tell him her identity."

Randy smirked, "Riiiight..."

Someone said, "Heads up, everyone."

Everyone immediately glanced to see Max, Marinette, and Marco carrying all of their food.

"Pizza coming all around," Max stated as he, Marinette, and Marco spread the boxes and drinks around the table, allowing everyone to open them and see that each had nine slices for them all, not to mention the refreshing beverages that they all accepted in addition to a slice.

All but Jack, Ashi, and Aang.

"This is food?" the half-demon asked, tilting her head at the strange sight of the pizza.

"I must admit, it is not like anything from the future in which I was trapped," Jack replied, looking at the cheese-filled dish.

"Yeah same, I've never seen this kind of food before," Aang replied.

Penn pats Aang's back and says, "It won't bite, you guys. That is your job. Just taste for yourself."

While the married couple sipped their drinks and nibbled on two slices of pepperoni pizza, Aang ate one slice of the veggie pizza. As their taste receptors began to dance with ecstasy, any previous concerns were replaced by contentment.

Aang says, "Mmm, this...is amazing."

As Jack continues to taste, he comments, "A little too much of the ingredient you call cheese, but the dough helps balance it out."

June even witnessed Jenny consume a pizza and commented, "How can you swallow and taste that? Won't it mess up your metal wiring or something?"

Jenny winked playfully and said. "I have my ways."

"Where does the food go when you eat, Octus?" Jake questions the robot.

Octus has been silent till he answers.

Octus responded, "That's a good question."

Ilana smiles at how well they are getting along and nudges her bodyguard.

"You see? I told you that having one outing together with no emergencies is ideal-" Ilana began, but was abruptly interrupted.

BOOM!

Screams fill the mall as a massive explosion occurs nearby. The team instinctively took action and ran to find out what was going on; they saw several armored soldier-like guys with very advanced blasters swarm out of one shop, one carrying a box-like canister; they began firing, but just to scare the crowd out of the mall. Mall cops attempt to intercede, but these people have far greater technology, and they shoot electric net launchers, trapping the cops.

"We have what we came for. Have the transport ready." The Criminal Soldier, who appears to be in control, speaks into a wrist-mounted communicator.

The team watched as these individuals moved toward the exit, but they weren't having any of it.

"Well, guys. It's hero o'clock!" Randy said as he pulled his ninja mask from his bag.

Cat Noir expresses his anger, "Please tell me that's not our catchphrase."

"But, aren't there security cameras?" Marinette asks, worried her secret may be found.

Zak, holding the Secret Saturday Crypti-pedia, says, "Already got ya covered."

With that, Zak turned off all the cameras.

"I've disabled them all and by all counts, every civilian has evacuated by now. We're good." Zak replied.

Zak then presses a button on the device, and Saturday's armor appears, but it is new and enhanced, with black outlines and dark orange stripes around his torso, and he spins the Claw in his hands.

"Let's go!" Zak said.

Marco sweats as he says, "Shouldn't we leave this to the-" but does not complete his statement.

"IT'S HERO TIME!" Ben exclaimed as he activated the Omnitrix and slammed the dial, transforming himself into a humanoid extraterrestrial resembling a roadrunner. He has a black body with silver shells covering his limbs, chest, and head. He also has the same-colored tail and beak. He has sharp claws on his feet and wrists, and the Omnitrix insignia is on his left shoulder.

"BRIGHTSPEED!" Brightspeed shouted.

"LET'S GO TURBO!" Max screamed as Steel merged with his chest and transformed into his turbo base mode.

"TIKKI! SPOTS ON!" Marinette exclaimed as she changed into her superhero persona, Ladybug.

"PLAGG! CLAWS OUT!" Adrien exclaimed as he turned into his superhero persona, Cat Noir.

Danny exclaimed "GOIN' GHOST" as a silver ring emerged from his waist, expanding and transforming into his superhero persona, Danny Phantom.

Jake cried "DRAGON UP" as flames began to cover him, and he transformed into his Dragon form.

Manny yelled "RAWR! EL TIGRE" as he transformed into his superhero persona, El Tigre.

Everyone else transformed into their superhero persona.

The soldiers were about to leave when an explosion of neon energy struck them.

"I suppose you're not here for the 50% off deal? Too bad, because I heard they sell helmets in your color," someone said.

The soldiers then looked to Ben as Brightspeed, and much to their astonishment, the masked strangers opened fire on him with their energy-based weaponry, but instead of injuring him, Brightspeed absorbed the energy.

"Heh, thanks for the boost," Brightspeed remarked, firing the rest as his colleagues followed suit.

Aside from Brightspeed, the Ninja and Danny Phantom entered the scene. The Ninja utilized a chain sickle, while the halfa flew and fired ecto energy bolts.

"Ninja surprise drop in!" The Ninja kicks a soldier to the ground and draws his dual sword weapons.

The Ninja then focused on the other soldier.

"If you're going to play with guns, take them outside!" The Ninja said, slicing some of their weapons and incapacitating them.

The soldiers attempted to shoot Danny, but he turned intangible, then unintangible, before firing ecto energy at them.

Everyone else participated in the great brawl. Rex formed his Block Party shields to protect himself from blaster fire, followed by his Smack Hands to punch them all away.

"Finally. Something I enjoy about the mall is busting up jerks like you! Ron, Kim, June, Penn! Let's show them that we mean business!" Rex yelled.

Penn returns fire, stunning them and chopping their guns to pieces. The martial arts master charges forward with his Mystic Monkey Power blue aura glow, avoiding their fire and punching them repeatedly. One throws an electric-powered tonfa, but Ron blocks the hit before elbowing him in the gut, followed by an uppercut by June. The soldier stood up, but Kim quickly jumped off his shoulders, delivered an axe kick to his arm, hurting it, and then gave him a blue ball.

"Later," Kim murmured, saluting as the ball exploded into a strong sticky substance that held him in place.

A shooter aims at Kim from afar, but Jake and Aang expel a fireball, dispersing him.

"No one's blasting any of the Am Drag's pals, chump!" Jake exclaimed.

Jake and Aang with his staff in its glider form then soared into the line of fire of another sniper, who fired a stun blast at Jake, knocking the dragon to the ground.

"JAKE!" Aang exclaimed as he landed on the ground and went to aid Jake, but a group of people aimed their blasters at them, but a dimensional portal sprang up and Marco, with his hood up, jumped out and hit them at pressure points, causing them all to fall in a frozen state.

"Dude, Marco! That was wicked!" Jake exclaimed as Marco and Aang helped him up.

Marco said, "Thanks. That actually felt pretty cool."

Marco and Aang look up and witness Ilana blasting a few with her laser from the Corus armor's headgear.

"Hey, Ilana! Who are these guys?!" Marco asked Ilana, hoping that since this was her Earth, she might know.

Ilana flies down to set up a force barrier to protect them from approaching fire.

"I don't know! We've never encountered enemies like these, but something about them feels all too familiar!" Ilana replied.

Cat Noir repeatedly strikes one of the goons with his batons before headbutting him.

"Let's just focus on beating them, then we can ask questions!" Cat Noir said.

Max Steel soars overhead in his Turbo Flight Mode.

"Hey, Max. I've got a special new trick we can test out. Just hold your hand out and focus one of your Turbo weapons," Steel remarked, instructing Max to follow his orders.

Max then listened to Steel, and in an instant, the Turbo Sword appeared in his right hand.

Max exclaimed in surprise, "Whoa! The turbo sword?! I don't remember packing this."

Steel stated, "You can thank me. I just discovered a new way to summon all of your weapons in your arsenal with a single thought and a small amount of Turbo energy."

"Sweet," Max remarked as he flew and used the sword to throw energy slashes at them, before deciding to unleash additional firepower.

Max was impressed with what he did.

"Alright, go turbo blaster!" Max said, as the sword was replaced by a rifle weapon.

Max then unleashes tremendous blasts here and there.

"Steel, link to it!" Max exclaimed as Steel emerged from his chest and connected with the blaster's interface, giving the weapon additional strength.

Max observes Sashi fight off more soldiers with her superior fighting skills, but is soon encircled by a large number of them before being blasted away.

"Hey! I had that, Max!" Sashi exclaims.

"You're welcome, Sashi," Max remarked, rolling his eyes.

Steven, in his base mode, tosses a shield at a soldier, knocking him unconscious. Steven then observes the soldier's weapon, which he recognizes.

"Hey, these kind of look like the guns G3 use." Steven said.

Zak uses the Claw as a bo-staff to knock a blaster upsides, causing a soldier he was battling to miss his shot, and then engages the grapple function to latch onto another soldier's waist and collide with the one he was fighting. Jenny fires massive blue spheres from two cannons above her shoulders, which are powerful enough to knock them down, while Boone blasts with wrist blasters and uses one hand to shield himself. Zak takes note of what Steven stated and proceeds to conduct a comprehensive scan of the weapon.

"He's right. They're exactly like G3's weapons, right down to the nuts and bolts," Zak stated.

"Perhaps they shop at the same blaster store," Boone said.

"Yeah, Boone, we'll keep that in mind," Jenny said with a deadpanned tone.

"Petrified amber prison!" Star cried as she cast one spell on a group of soldiers, encasing them all in a crystal cage.

Star then looked at El Tigre, who was clawing their armor to pieces, and came up with a solution.

"Hey, Manny! I've got an idea!" Star announced.

Manny then looked to Star, who summoned a catapult.

Star instructed El Tigre to leap onto the catapult, saying, "You're up, little buddy!"

The youthful hero mounts the catapult and is flung across the sky, crashing into one's gut.

"Come on, you guys! Is that the best you got?!" El Tigre exclaimed.

Manny was surprised when he was targeted by laser pointers as troops aimed at him.

El Tigre held his hands up and said, "Uh, I was just kidding."

Until black tendrils grabbed them all and tossed them aside, Manny's salvation was the team's half-demon member.

El Tigre said, "Whew. Thanks, Ashi."

"Next time, Manny, don't act so rashly," Ashi warns, as if reprimanding her own child. It felt awkward but natural.

Back with Star, she continues to blast rainbow fists at everyone, but she accidently steps onto a metal plate, trapping herself in a net and causing her to drop her wand.

"What the-Hey!" Star exclaims in surprise as she is imprisoned and soldiers point their weapons at her.

But then Lance, as Manus, launches a capsule that forms a haze, blinding them until the corporal chops them away with his sword, although their armor protects them from lethal injuries.

Lance then frees Star from the trap that the soldiers had set.

"Oh, Lance, that was nice of you." Star beams up at the irritated young guy.

"Wanna repay it, Star? Don't blindly step into traps like an amateur," he warns her as he fires at more of them.

After Lance frees the Mewman from the trap, she picks up her wand.

"Pfft. Moody." Star remarked, glowing slightly.

Jack takes care of a group of soldiers without breaking a sweat, as seen by his ability to slash his sword against them and escape each explosion aimed at him. His charmed blade could not be shattered by their ammo, and their blasters, as well as many injured adversaries on the floor, were reduced to tiny pieces. However, robot drones were triggered and began firing fast at him, forcing him to flee for cover. He was helped by Ladybug and Octus, who used her Yo-Yo to wrap one drone and crash it to the ground, while the more heroic robot sent an EMP blast at them.

"Jack, are you injured?" Octus inquired as he assisted Jack.

Jack said, "I am fine, Octus."

Unbeknownst to them, one drone was sneaking up behind them, but the samurai dispatched it with a single swipe of his sword.

"This is hardly challenging," Jack added.

Then Jack hears the sound of tires squealing.

"What is that?" Jack inquired.

Octus hears it too as he uses his scanner to zoom in outside the mall, revealing that something is about to happen.

"Incoming!" Octus shouted as if something was coming.

Following then, a black van crashes through the entrance.

"Transport's here! We have the package, let's leave the rest!" the Lieutenant exclaimed as he directed his soldier to bring the item they stole from the mall and place it in the van.

The troops obeyed the Lieutenant's orders and placed the item they stole from the van on the back of the van, leaving most of their own behind. The vehicle then drove away.

"They're getting away!" Ron screamed.

"I've got this!" Rex exclaimed as he formed the sky slider.

"Rex, wait-" Brightspeed yelled, attempting to halt Rex, but he had already taken off after the van.

Lance deactivates his armor and says, "Fool. He can't hope to catch up with them alone."

Brightspeed then turned back into Ben Tennyson.

"Exactly, Rex won't able to catch the van that easily," remarked Ben.

Ben then turns to the ones who can fly.

"Max, Danny, Jenny, let's back him up! Everyone else here, make sure these guys are ready for pick up when the cops show up." Ben replied.

"Roger that; we'll take care of it," Zak replied.

Ben then activated the Omnitrix and banged the dial, transforming into a humanoid alien with a bird-like appearance. He possesses sharp yellow claws on each limb, as well as a beak. He's dressed in gold, black, and green armor. He also has bright blue wings and tail, and the Omnitrix insignia is on his waist.

"ARCHEAGLE!" Archeagle exclaimed as he flew out into the scene to follow Rex.

Max, Danny, and Jenny followed Ben after that, going after Rex when they noticed the van exceeding the speed limit. One gunner climbed to the top to keep them off their trail, but Danny fires an ecto ray, destroying the gun.

"Steel says that at the end of this road is a dead end, they got nowhere left to run!" remarked Max with assurance.

But suddenly the van's wheels went in, and the vehicle hovered in the sky, and when the thrusters popped out at full speed, the van blasted off far away from them.

"You think so, huh?" Jenny remarked.

"Or not," Max replied.

Archeagle glances down and notices that the person operating the gunner was pushed off when he shot the van, so he grabs him in the back.

As he prepared to question the gunner, Archeagle stated, "I believe we have some questions for you."

---

Following the chaos at the mall, the Legion returns to their headquarters in their meeting room to reorganize and share notes with one of their donors on the situation. albeit first, they waited for the five members who went after the van to return, and they eventually did, albeit with a less than delighted smile.

Adrien extrapolated, "Judging by your looks, I guess the bad guys got away."

"You'd be right, Cat. The only advantage is that we caught one, but a group of Solomon's troops arrived and took him away. I'm guessing the same thing happened at the mall," Jenny says, slumping in her chair.

"So, despite your pursuit, you were unable to catch them. What a surprise." Lance droned.

Rex glares at Lance and says, "Well, I didn't see you doing anything besides standing there like a stiff."

"Enough," Jack shouted, stopping them before anything else could be said.

Rex and Lance then stopped staring.

"What matters is that no innocents were harmed, we should be thankful for that alone. We also got a message from Solomon. It appears he has information about these dangerous new foes." Jack responded,

"Speaking of which, I'm not the only one who noticed that they were using the same technology as G3, right?" Steven responded.

Ilana shakes her head, saying, "No, Steven. You weren't, which is troubling."

Kim rubbed her chin in thinking and continued, "So, there might be a connection between G3 and these guys; let's hope Solomon can provide answers."

"Actually, I do," someone said.

Everyone then heard Solomon's familiar voice as he walked through the elevator opening, catching everyone's attention.

"I came as soon as I heard the news, and I actually have an idea who attacked the mall," Solomon explained as he approached the console.

Solomon types on the computer console, displaying a screen of their newly revealed enemies.

Solomon types on the computer console, displaying a screen of their newly disclosed foes.

"They called themselves the Advance Supreme Attack Force, or A.S.A.F, an intriguing gang of mercenaries who, for reasons we don't understand, had access to advanced technology that appeared to be of alien origin. They've been raiding various G3 bases for the past few months, stealing tools for whatever purpose they have," Solomon explained.

"How come we were never informed of them?" Ilana inquires, as she, Lance, and Octus were eager to assist.

"You three already had enough on your plate. We didn't wish to worry you." Solomon replied.

"I got my own question. Why were they attacking a mall?" Danny replied.

"They're not just attacking the mall for no reason; they're also attempting to steal this," Solomon remarked as he pushed a button.

The screens then show them a canister, the same one that the A.S.A.F soldiers stole.

"Uhh...What is that?" June asked, curious at the canister projected from the screen.

"What you're witnessing is a canister containing an energy source that powers G3 headquarters and nearby locations. We kept several of them in various other obscure spots around the world, areas where most people would never think to check," Solomon explained.

Zak then puzzled over something in his mind until he eventually found the answer.

"Like a shopping mall," Zak stated.

Solomon stated, "We underestimated how efficient and coordinated they can be. We theorize that they have skilled hackers in their ranks who have been able to crack our firewalls. More importantly, I'm afraid they've increased their boldness."

Solomon then shows the squad the remains of the Novatron castle in the Amazon.

"After you stopped the invasion, I had my people clean up all of the Novatron fortresses you were able to occupy. But I received word that one in the Amazon Jungle had been invaded and all of its weapons stolen," Solomon explained.

"It was A.S.A.F., right?" Penn replied.

The head of G3's silence was an adequate response for Penn.

"So we're dealing with a group of mercenaries armed with alien firepower. Great," Penn said.

Ben then stared at Solomon.

"But not only they steal something from you guys, they also stole leftover Novatron Techs that are abandoned in their fortressess, but what could they possibly want with the Novatron Techs," Ben remarked while questioning Solomon.

"We don't know what they want to the leftover Novatron tech but I'm sure we'll find out," Solomon said.

"Okay, then. We can just hunt them down and take them down. Hard," Sashi replied, pounding her palm with her fist.

"That would be a negative. A.S.A.F is a G3 matter and will be treated as such; we already have a number of their men in custody, and you'll all have done enough for today. So, take a breather," Solomon tells them sternly as he leaves the room to discuss what to do next with his organization.

"So, that's it? We're benched? He may have given us this place, but I don't remember putting him in charge of our team." Randy replied with dissatisfaction.

Marinette shrugs and says, "I'm not sure. Maybe he has a point; we weren't able to stop the bad guys from taking the goods, and who knows what they'll do with it.

"No one gave us permission to fight the Novatrons. We made that choice for ourselves. They shot first, and I say, we fight back." Rex replied.

"How? We don't know zip about where they might be." Ron responded.

"No, we don't," Zak smirked.

Everyone then turned to look at Zak, who was smirking for no reason.

"But, I bet I can find out," Zak replied as he approached the computer console.

Zak starts typing on the consoles to access the G3 database but receives an ACCESS DENIED message.

"Wanna bet?" Zak asked.

Zak typed further, and the S insignia emerged, breaking past all firewalls.

As he completed hacking the system, Zak stated, "Done and done."

"Whoa. Zak, how did you-" Manny began, but Zak interrupted him.

The scientist shrugs and says, "They're using the exact same system as my parents' airship. I cracked the code when I was eight."

"You're hacking into G3 files?! Zak, Solomon won't be happy about this!" Ilana exclaimed, her eyes widening.

"Maybe not; however, he might appreciate us doing his work," Zak remarked as he touched a button.

From there, the screen zooms into images detailing A.S.A.F.

"Take a look at this, it says that while A.S.A.F. is known for keeping a low profile, they do appear to follow a consistent pattern. So far, they've been quiet for a while, but after the Novatron invasion was stopped, they waited for their moment to raid sites with the most alien tech, which are the fortresses," Zak explained as he displayed details of A.S.A.F.

Kim then examined one of the images, noticing something about their next target.

Kim then points to one image and says, "Check it out. All but the one in Egypt were cleared of anything Novatron, and the one in the Amazon was almost cleared until A.S.A.F came in."

Ron nodded, saying, "I see."

Boone leans into Ron and says, "You get what they're saying?"

"Nope. But I'm nodding to make it look like I understand," Ron whispered quietly to Boone.

Boone exclaimed, "Genius."

Fortunately, Ben straightened things up for them.

"So Egypt is their next target. It's the only other place that hasn't been cleared out yet, so we've got to deal with this problem right away," Ben said.

"Resolve G3's case before they do. That would be poetic justice." Lance said.

"Hey, this team believes about justice. So, Lance, what do you say? Are you in?" Max said.

The corporal glances around and saw the resolute expressions that proclaimed their willingness to accomplish this.

What do you know? He has something in common with them.

Earth 5: Egypt.

It was the final shift for the G3 operators, who were driving a transport truck loaded with enough weapons for an army. However, as the driver went along the desert road, the truck activated an A.S.A.F trap. Two pillars erupted, and mini-guns opened fire on the tires, causing them to blow out and the truck to come to a halt. Once they were out of air, the driver exited the vehicle and was attacked by A.S.A.F soldiers who aimed at him, forcing the agent to raise his arms in surrender.

"Check the truck for anything worthwhile," the Lieutenant remarked, ordering his guys.

The soldiers did so, and they saw all of the weaponry while also acquiring something additional.

One soldier said, "Sir, you might want to come look at this."

The lieutenant looks inside and finds four G3 operatives dressed in white Hazmat suits.

"G3 technicians. They might know a way to unlock the canister. Take them along, but don't harm them," the Lieutenant ordered, ordering his man to accompany the technicians.

The soldiers then followed the Lieutenant's orders and took the technicians, handcuffed them, and pushed them into the vans with the weapons. The Lieutenant hits the driver in the gut.

"You're lucky we're keeping you alive, scum. However, we would like you to convey a brief message to your superior, Solomon. There's no stopping A.S.A.F, and we'll come for him next," the lieutenant added as he left the scene.

With nothing more to keep them there, A.S.A.F drove away, leaving the driver behind; if they had waited, they would have watched the picture of him transform into a familiar robot.

"They took the bait. And those four are in," Octus says through a communicator.

Someone says, "Copy that, Octus."

---

Up in the sky, we glimpse an invincible ship, but it's the cloaked Photon. Inside the ship, we see Ben standing next to Lance, who is now again the pilot, and Max and Steel on their side of the seat, while the rest of their members are seated behind them, with the exception of five.

"We're seeing them going for their base through Kim's hidden camera," Ben said.

Steel then uses his scanner to determine where A.S.A.F is going.

"According to my scanners, it shows that they're traveling about fifty miles from here," Steel says.

Ilana then uses her communicator to contact someone.

"Randy, has someone found out?" the Galaluna princess inquires, concerned.

"I'm not called the Ninja for nothing, Ilana. Don't worry, they haven't found me yet," The Ninja remarked through his communicator.

---

Back on the ground, we see the Ninja on top of the A.S.A.F truck, which he had sneaked onto without anyone noticing. He looks through the window, sees the three trapped techs, and taps the glass. He makes them look at him and gives them a thumbs up, to which they nod in agreement. He then observes them driving towards an empty field, until they pass a cloaking field that conceals a compound that acted as their base of operations, at which point the Ninja must discreetly whistle.

Randy said, "Fancy digs. Guess everyone has killer HQs."

The vehicle drives to the entryway, where there are more of them waiting. The four technicians were forced out, and one taps his pocket, causing a familiar pink rat to run to the shadow warrior's location.

"Alright, Rufus. Let's see if you're as good as Ron says." Randy said as he saw Rufus run away.

Randy had a thought of something in his mind.

"Unity of the team wins the day. I guess I never could do this entirely on my own." Randy replied.

Rufus salutes and takes off. He bites off the tip of a pole, gets inside where there are a lot of wires, and chews away, causing tiny sparks and weakening the security systems. Back with the hostages, they were led to the canister.

"If you don't want us to execute you three, then you will open this canister." The soldier said.

"Here's option B," one of them shouted, glowing blue and breaking the cuffs apart before punching the guards away.

The other jumps and kicks two soldiers in the face before picking up the key with her feet and undoing the locks. The other two then knock down the other soldier with a punch. One of them removes the hazmat mask, letting her red hair cascade behind her back.

Kim said into her communicator, "This is Kim. Now or never."

A loud explosion ruins a portion of the ceiling, allowing Danny in his Budding Form, Rex in his Boogie Pack, Jenny, Max Steel, Ashi, Octus, Ilana, and Jake to fly through and attack the base, while a dimensional gateway opens and the rest of the team arrives.

Ben then activated his omnitrix and slammed the dial, transforming himself into an anthropomorphic alligator with armored green scales covering his entire body and claws on his hands and feet. His abdomen is brown and covered in fissures. He has a lengthy tail with scales and spikes. He wears black and green shorts with white kneepads, and the Omnitrix insignia is on a strap on his left arm.

"ELIMIGATOR!" Elimigator exclaimed as he raced in and punched all of the soldiers while blasting him, but it was ineffective.

Cat Noir uses his staff to deflect one of the blasters and takes Sashi's hand, spinning her around so she can kick the soldier. Danny swoops in and punches many of them with ecto-charged fists, while the Ninja makes his presence known by throwing various smoke bombs to distract a group of troops before dispatching them with two nunchucks.

"Ninja wild Chucks!" Randy exclaimed.

Randy easily smashes his weapons against their helmets, causing cracks, and wraps a chain around one of their arms before flinging him across. Octus tackles more, causing them to smash into various computers, and to prevent being shot, he creates electric orbs that eliminate them. Ilana fires her lasers at the guns that fell during the explosion, rendering them unusable to these soldiers. Ashi then lands and assaults them fiercely with her mace hands, capturing many of them with black tendrils erupting from her back.

Steven, in his Pink state form, punches all of the soldiers in his path, while Aang, now back in his attire uses his Earthbending and Airbending to damage their armor, and El Tigre fires two chain claws and steals two blasters, leaving their former owners defenseless as he jumps and claws them across the chests before slamming their two heads together. El Tigre then notices that someone is about to shoot Ladybug.

"Hey, Ladybug! On your left!" El Tigre screamed to her.

The Parisian hero goes to her left side, wraps her Yo-Yo around the soldier's neck just as he is ready to shoot her, and yanks him away to a wall.

"Thanks for the heads-up, Manny," Ladybug remarked, smiling gratefully at El Tigre.

Rex dispersed the Boogie Pack to form the Fun Chucks, then whacks a large number of them away before seeing Lance fight a few on his own, but there were those with electrified staffs, so he jumps up with his Punk Busters to land down, blowing them into the pavement.

"How's that for an amateur?" Rex asked.

Lance does not respond; instead, he activates the Manus armor and destroys the drones before they can fire on the EVO teen.

Lance replied, "You're getting there."

"Be careful; that almost sounded like a compliment," Rex replied, smirking.

Lance said, "Shut up and fight."

Lance smirked within the armor as he fired his wrist guns, then took out a massive axe to assault these A.S.A.F men.

Zak uses the Claw as a staff and helps Cat Noir in smashing away at the troops. They make their way to another entryway, where Rufus awaits them with a flash disk.

"Huh. Not a bad find. Nice work, little guy." Zak pats the nude mole rat's head.

Cat Noir then notices something opening through the other door.

"Hey, look," Cat Noir exclaimed, pointing to the door that was opening, displaying one A.S.A.F troop operating a mech suit armed with a variety of weaponry.

"Seriously?!" Zak exclaimed.

"Go Turbo! Strength!" Max said as he transformed to Turbo Strength mode.

Max Steel utilizes his boosted strength to smack the mech suit in the face, but it then shoots with a focused laser blast, pushing the turbo hero back, but he was supported by Elimigator as he caught him.

Elimigator then slapped the omnitrix sign, transforming into a manta ray-like extraterrestrial with a red and yellow body. His wing flaps extend down to his tail. He has four antennas projecting from his face. He wears black shorts and shoulder pads, and the Omnitrix insignia is on his right shoulder.

"JETRAY!" Jetray exclaimed as he fired neuro-shocks behind the mech machine, only to fly away as missiles were released from behind.

This does not look well for him, but Jetray considered something.

"Time for a new game plan," Jetray stated as he slapped the Omnitrix sign, converting him into an extraterrestrial with the appearance of a Venus flytrap plucked from the ground, roots and all. Aside from his one-eyed head and massive collar of fangs, his entire body is comprised of green and brownish-green vines and roots. He has six exposed seeds hanging from his back. He has two blue orbs on his shoulders. He wears a costume that covers his chest and "arms", allowing some of his vines to create thumbless, three-fingered hands. The Omnitrix insignia appears on the left side of his chest.

"WILDVINE!" Wildvine exclaimed, stretching two arms to imprison the mechin spot.

Wildvine then looks at the team.

"Give it all you've got, guys!" Wildvine exclaimed to the team.

Max pulls the right arm completely off, while Ashi slashes the left arm, and Wildvine fires grenades at it, forcing the A.S.A.F unit to flee as the suit explodes.

Wildvine then slammed the Omnitrix symbol once more, transforming into a blue and black insect humanoid alien with navy-blue wings, green eyes, and dark blue fur extending from his shoulders to his thighs. He has bright blue dots on his forelimbs, antennas, claws, and skull, as well as the Omnitrix insignia on his left shoulder.

"BIG CHILL!" Big Chill exclaimed as he flew to the scene and froze several of the soldiers.

Kim captures one between her knees and flings him to the ground, then uses her rocket skate shoes to race across and lay various disks on a number of goons, stuns them with a flip of the switch, and leaves them asleep on the ground. Jenny utilizes crab claw arms to grasp and slam others to the ground, then launches a chest blast and some good kicks, with June supporting her as she lands each strike. Jack, now back in his distinctive white gi, blocks a staff strike and slashes the weapon in half before hitting the guy on the head with the end of the handle, while Boone levitates oncoming mercs with wrist mounts and places them in Star's sights.

"All yours, Star!" Boone screamed to her.

Star grinned as she was prepared to do something.

"Dagger Crystal Heart Attack!" Star exclaimed as many razor-sharp hearts flew towards the opponents, leaving numerous slash marks on their armor.

However, there was more to come.

"Mega Starfish Tsunami!" Star said, as a tidal wave of starfish swept them away and defeated them.

Star then began jumping for her accomplishment while cheering for it.

"I love this superhero thing!" Star exclaimed as she paused her jump.

Marco back flips several times before jumping and kicking one straight into the chet, then cutting open a little portal to hit the merc on the other side without his realizing it. Focusing hard, he fires a stream of fire from his daggers, transporting the soldiers in his path to the outside, no longer suitable for combat.

"That was...awesome!" Marco exclaimed, panting with a smile.

Penn rode on Jake's back as the latter blasted fireballs at the vehicles to keep them all from leaving, but the former observes a few had gotten on one and attempted to flee, so he chooses to intercede.

"Jake, fly us in closer!" Penn exclaimed, as Jake flew closer.

Penn jumps and lands on top, plunging his sword through the hood, stunning the driver and causing him to swerve the car, but Penn hops off once Jake grabs the vehicle and raises it up and shakes it until the mercenaries are ejected.

"Hey, bozos," Penn yelled as the soldier turned to him and kneed him.

Penn then points at the other soldier with his word.

Penn responded, "I'd stay down if I were you."

"Or don't. More fun for us." Jake added, giving the soldier a toothy grin.

The lieutenant fires at Ilana, Danny, and Big Chill, but Danny remains unconcerned as he becomes Intangible by the fire, then Unintangible, and fires the gun away with his Ecto Energy, causing the Lieutenant to let go of it.

Then Big Chill speaks with the Lieutenant.

"It's over. We've taken out your base, and all your cronies are down." Big Chill said.

Danny continued, "And there's one thing you need to do."

"Surrender, and we will not hurt you," Ilana told him as she issued the ultimatum.

However, the lieutenant was not in the mood to be captured.

"Sorry, princess, but not today," the Lieutenant says as he pulls out a heavy artillery cannon, causing Ilana to gasp.

"That weapon...Ben, Danny look out!" Ilana exclaimed, immediately pushing Ben and Danny out of the way as the Lieutenant fired.

Seeing this, the Lieutenant seizes his opportunity to flee.

Big Chill and Danny witnessed his flee.

Big Chill then turned back into Ben Tennyson and remarked "He got away"

"Fret not, my friend; the day is ours," Jack says as the Ultra Legion rallies around.

"Now we just need to explain everything to Solomon," Jenny stated with dread.

---

Moments later, G3 received a message from Octus informing them that they had secured A.S.A.F's base, and Solomon had a few words for the team.

"So, you hacked G3 files, impersonated operatives, faked a report about a recent shift change, and went on your own mission even though I told you not to," Solomon remarked, facing them with his arms folded.

"That pretty much sums it up," Ben remarked, nodding sheepishly.

Solomon unexpectedly smiles.

Solomon said, "Nice job."

Solomon's statements stunned and praised the entire team.

"So, you weren't mad at us?" Rex asked.

"Of course I'm not, G3 may be one of many who will assign you missions, but that doesn't mean you explicitly work for G3. You showed you can think independently, and that shows character. You also provided us with intel." Solomon replied as he raised the flash drive.

Even though Solomon was not proud of it, it became the team's worry as well, therefore he was not upset with them because it was their decision.

"Overall, you did a good job here tonight," Solomon stated.

"Boo-Yah!" Ron exclaimed, pumping his hands.

Ron then throws an arm around Kim.

"This call for celebration! Who's up for a party at the tower?" replied Ron.

Kim kisses Ron on the cheek and says, "Play your cards right, and there'll be an after party."

Marco smiles and says, "Hey, I can make us all some nachos."

"I didn't realize you could cook, Marco," Danny commented as they walked back to the Photon.

Ilana grins as they celebrate, proud of everyone's performance, and turns to her bodyguard.

"Well?" Ilana inquired.

Octus nudges his arm knowingly, causing Lance to sigh.

"Okay, I admit, they performed better than I imagined." Lance replied.

Lance then notices Ilana giving a concerned expression.

"What's wrong?" Lance asked.

Ilana rubs her arm and then tells them something.

"The leader that got away, he had a weapon that wasn't of G3." Ilana replied,

What she said next will shock them.

Ilana said, "It was Mutraddi."

Octus and Lance were stunned when they heard the name "Mutraddi".

"What?" Lance asked, having never expected to hear that name again.

---

With the base fallen, the now-former leader was forced to withdraw to a concealed bunker.

This was not good.

All of those soldiers may have been human, but they were still useful, so plans might be halted.

He needed to report this, so he removed his helmet, revealing himself as a white-haired young man.

Then he activates a holographic communicator.

"Master, I'm afraid I've encountered some unexpected problems. Princess Ilana seems to have found herself new powerful allies, that may prove to be a problem in the long run. Our human puppets got captured and they got most of our technology."

"Ah, Baron. You did well to call me, my pupil. This is a minor setback. Our plans for her, Earth, and Galaluna will still proceed as scheduled. In the meantime, remain on Earth. I will contact you later on and I assure you that nothing the princess can do will ever stop what I have in store."

"By your wish, General Modulla."

Earth 7: Gardenia.

We're back on Earth 7 at night, and we discover a pet shop called Love and Pet. Inside, on the ground floor, we see the Winx closing the store while wearing pajamas, but they are not alone because there are animals with them.

Bloom is dressed in pajamas with a pink top below a yellow crop tank top. She wears knee-length blue cropped leggings with a yellow belt and fuchsia pants below.

Flora is dressed in an elbow-length green shirt, a very short pink nightgown, and green knee-length socks with scarlet heels. Her hair is in six tiny buns.

Musa's pajamas consist of a light blue 3/4-length shirt underneath an off-the-shoulder bright pink top with dark pink accent. She wears dark pink capris with light blue pockets and a light pink belt. Her hair is tied back into three little buns. She also wears flip flops that match her pajamas.

Tecna is dressed in pajamas, which consist of a pink shoulder top underneath a sky blue one strap top. She wears purple sweatpants with sky blue and yellow borders.

Aisha is dressed in pajamas consisting of a yellow, orange-trimmed tank top, yellow shorts with orange trim and a fuchsia belt, a yellow headband, pink socks, and a green crop jacket.

For the animals.

The first one is a vivid blue and white rabbit with big light brown eyes. He has a patch of white hair on top of his head and on his chest.

It was Bloom's pet rabbit, Kiko.

The second is a light green lamb with orange-yellowish eyes and spring green hair tied with two red hair ties on each side. She's dressed in a sweater-like clothing. Her wings are colored pink.

It was Belle, Bloom's other fairy-themed pet that is a small lamb.

The third one is a pink kitty with aquamarine eyes and dark pink fur. She has light pink whiskers and is dressed in a cream-colored collar with a little gold bell around her neck. In addition, she always wears a bright green headband with two white flowers on the side. Her wings are pale blue.

It was Coco, Flora's fairy-themed pet that is a small kitten.

The fourth one is a little brown teddy bear with green eyes, circular cream ears, and belly. He has a green pendant around his neck, and his wings are pale lavender.

It was Pepe, Musa's fairy-themed pet that is a small teddy bear.

The fifth one is a golden chick with orange eyes. She is wearing a little corn-shaped hair tie over her hair. Her wings are green.

It was Chicko, Tecna's fairy-themed pet that is a small chick.

And the last one is a white bunny with pink bangs and blue eyes. She has two carrot-shaped hair accessories. She occasionally wears a green dress with two carrot ear ornaments. Her wings are colored orange.

It was Milly, Aisha's fairy-themed pet that is a small bunny.

All of the Winx and their pets are present, save Stella, who is on the second floor of the pet shop and her pet is with her. The Winx are concerned about Stella after Brandon broke up with her. Bloom then glanced at Winx.

"Is Stella going to be okay?" Bloom asked her friend, anxious.

"I don't know Bloom, she never came outside ever since Brandon broke up with her" Flora replied.

"I just hope she's okay," Musa remarked.

"Yeah me too, Musa, I just hope she's okay after what happened," remarked Tecna.

All of the Winx are concerned about Stella's wellbeing.

---

On the second story of the pet shop, we see the Winx's Loft, where they sleep when they are on Earth. Stella is in her bed in her pajamas, which consist of a green tank top under a pink tank top. She is dressed in orange and green sweatpants and has her hair pulled back into pigtails. Stella was holding a picture of herself and Brandon before they broke up. Stella couldn't help but cry since she couldn't forget about her breakup. She never imagined this would happen to her. Stella then notices a pale pink Poodle with purple eyes. She wears pink heart-shaped clips around her puffed ears and a green bow with little hearts all over it, which pulls a puff of hair up in the center of her head. There is a little purple diamond on her chest. Her wings are yellow.

It was Ginger, Stella's fairy-themed pet that is a small poodle.

Stella patted Ginger's head and said, "Oh, did I make you worry?"

Ginger then nodded, indicating that she is worried about her owner.

"Oh, you don't have to be. I'll be fine," Stella answered, still patting Ginger's head.

Even though she was fine, Stella couldn't move on from her breakup with Brandon. Stella then remembers something about a 10-year-old boy that has brown hair, green eyes and fair skin who is dressed in a black-striped, white shirt with short sleeves, military green cargo pants with side pockets, a black belt hidden under his shirt, and black and white sneakers with black stripes. He also wears a watch that resembles a large wristwatch, with a primary color scheme of black, white, and green, with a gray and green button on the side. Its dial was gray and green and had an Intergalactic Symbol of Peace in the center.

Stella then realizes who she is thinking of.

"I wonder how Ben's doing," Stella added, remembering a 10-year-old boy named Ben Tennyson.

Null Void (Either Past, Present or Future)

We are now in a space-like dimension populated with asteroids and islands drifting aimlessly through the void. The Void's scenery is continually shifting, making it impossible to predict where you're headed. This place is referred to as the Null Void.

Discovered by the Galvans, the Null Void is an alternative realm that serves as a prison colony for violent inmates. The Void was the destination of choice for many of the offenders who were transported there to start again. However, living there became extremely risky due to the invasion of new criminals. The Galvan made the decision to assist by giving birth to the Null Guardians, beings who look after the lawbreakers who are causing problems for the community. The Null Void has grown increasingly chaotic over time, with the strong surviving in this anarchic society.

We witness a small robot with legs that can hover, blue orbs, a silver body, and other features in one of the asteroids belonging to Null Void. He has an antenna on top of his levitating cylindrical head. He has light blue eyes, a chest, and other features.

It was GIR, Zim's personal assistant, clutching a canister that held something and projecting a hologram of Zim's head.

Zim asked, "GIR, was your mission successful?"

"Yes, Master," the GIR said, his eyes growing crimson as he saluted.

"Well done, GIR. I'm going to open the Null Void portal right now." Zim remarked, disconnecting the communication.

Subsequently, a crimson gateway emerged, and GIR leaped through it to return to his world. After that, the portal shut.

The First chapter of Ultra Legion Unlimited S1 is now down.

I forgot to mention that Stella is thinking the Earth 15 Ben Tennyson, not the Earth 1 Ben Tennyson.

So stay tuned for other chapter release.
