Author's Note: These next several chapters will inspired by a certain Ben 10 game. That's a hint for everyone.
Somewhere in the catacombs of Rome, the Omnitrix Team was seen fighting a group of Eternal Knights. Well, most of them.
"A little help here, Lincoln!" Ronnie Anne demanded hitting some Eternal Knights with her magic.
"Yeah, you might wanna get with the program boss!" Chase agreed swatting some knights with his Stegosaurus thagomizer.
"Even with you fighting skills improving along with ours, using the new Omnitrix sounds pretty good right now!" Rex added bashing an Eternal Knight with his Smack Hands.
"Um, don't you guys think I'm trying? It won't let me transform if he keeps calling me!" Lincoln argued trying to activate the Omnitrix while using his suit's Battle Mode.
"Who? Azmuth?" Jazz asked blocking and blasting some more Eternal Knights.
"I wish. Getting advice from a smart little alien would be better than having to keep helping Devin with answering trivia questions from his or our fans." Lincoln mentioned hitting one of the knights with the back of his right fist.
"No offense Julie, but you brother seriously needs to take it easy with his blogs." Kevin commented bashing another knight with a stone mace from his hand.
"None taken. Besides, I bet he's asking us about seeing a minotaur or even a hydra." Julie guessed manifesting fists to hit more knights and did the same with her yo-yo.
Cutaway to the Hathaway house, Devin was in his room, on his computer trying to get in contact with the Omnitrix Team, mostly Lincoln and Julie.
"Lincoln! Come in, Lincoln! Julie, come in! Come on, little sis, pick up. It's not about my blog this time. I swear!" Devin spoke trying to warn either Lincoln or Julie.
"Devin! Could you tell Julie, her favorite cookies are ready and I'm putting them in the refrigerator? I made them for her, Patty and her teammates after a days hard work as heroes." Marah Hathaway (Julie's mom) asked from the kitchen.
"No time for that now, mom! I'm gotta tell them that they got the fate of the world in there hands here!" Devin answered getting back to his computer.
Somewhere in the galaxy, approaching Earth's solar system appears to be some kind of storm and within it lies a shadow of a version of a familiar alien from the Omnitrix.
Back to the Hathaway house, Devin was looking at his computer still trying to reach the Omnitrix Team.
"Come on, guys. Where are you?" Devin asked with worry wondering where they are.
Back inside the Roman catacombs, the Omnitrix Team have finished dealing with the Eternal Knights.
"Okay. I think that's all of them." Jazz sighed.
"Glad that problems taken care of. But too bad I don't get to bash anymore." Kevin commented in disappointment.
"Sorry about taking too long, guys. Devin was trying to call me." Lincoln apologized scratching his head.
"It's cool, dude. Besides, you came in the nick of time." Rex responded.
"You're still a great leader. Now, let's get out of this place and go home." Chase said when Ronnie Anne eyes widened.
"What's wrong, Ronnie? Is it evil magic?" Julie asked.
"For once I wish. I sense something deep in the catacombs and it's like ancient alien artifact." Ronnie Anne sensed with her magic.
"Then we should go find it. I bet Patty could sense it too." Julie said.
"It's true. I can sense something nearby and it feels like when I first sensed the Omnitrix." Patty spoke within the earrings.
"Yeah, but someone has to make sure what's going on everywhere else. I don't think we can all go." Jazz protested.
"Okay. I got an idea. Rex and I will go into the catacombs. The rest of you guys can head back to Rust Bucket 3." Lincoln planned.
"Are you sure about that? This place is full of traps like other ruins of ancient civilizations." Ronnie Anne argued.
"Don't worry. It's cool. We'll come back in one piece like always. We'll meet you guys back on the ship afterwards.
"Right. If anything happens when we're done, see if you can pick us up. Chase, when you guys get back to Rust Bucket 3, I need you to call Kai, so Ronnie can use magic to teleport him there." Lincoln ordered.
"Got it, chief. Just be careful." Chase told when Ronnie Anne teleported most of the Omnitrix Team back to Rust Bucket 3.
"Are you ready for this, Rex?" Lincoln asked.
"I was born ready. We'll just use both the Omnitrix and my powers incase we need to get each other out of jams." Rex answered.
"Then, let's go!" Lincoln told as they both went into the catacombs.
Moments later, Lincoln and Rex went into a room in the catacombs when the door closed behind them.
"Okay. What just happened?!" Rex asked trying to open the door.
"Guys, the door's sealed tight! You're gonna have to find another way out. We can still communicate for the time being, but if you go too deep in the catacombs, we might lose you." Ronnie Anne instructed on the Plumbers' badges.
"Thanks Ronnie. Are you ready for this Rex?" Lincoln asked.
"You bet I am. Let's do it." Rex nodded going into the room while the pillars caved in behind them.
"Okay. That was close." Lincoln noticed.
"Bet your hair is looking a little messy from the cave in, fellas. Someone give that cat a comb. Get it? Catacomb? Yeah... never mind." Kevin joked on the Plumbers' badges.
"Hey Linc, this lever could unlock the bars blocking the way out of this room." Rex said pulling a lever which let down the bars before two pickaxe minions arrived into the room.
"Hey, those are pickaxe minions." Lincoln identified with the pickaxe minions approaching with their pickaxes.
"I'm guessing that Vulkanus is here and he's looking for whatever we're looking for." Rex guessed activating his Smack Hands again and punched the two pickaxe minions with ease. "That was easy. And here comes more." He added with more pickaxe minions attacking.
"Well, here I go. Hope it'll let me transform now." Lincoln said dialing the Omnitrix's interface and becomes... "Swampfire!" He shouted easily taking out several pickaxe minions with his vines and punched the last one out cold.
"Sweet. Now let's get out of here." Rex said as they went on ahead until they reached a platform.
"Looks like we have to jump over this before we can progress." Swampfire suggested jumping with the help of his flames while Rex did the same with his Punk Busters.
"Well, whatever we're looking for we better find it and find a way outta here. This place is full of rats." Rex cringed seeing rats scurrying around while he and Lincoln got surrounded by more pickaxe minions.
"Suddenly, that doesn't sound too bad right now. That and the rats I mean." Swampfire said taking down some pickaxe minions.
"Good point. And it's also like we're being watched by spirits of ancient Roman people." Rex agreed kicking down the remaining minions before they exit the room and reached some lave blocking their path. "Great. Now we have to deal with lava." He complained.
"Just gotta jump over it. There's some platforms we can use." Swampfire noticed jumping over the lava with flames to boost it up.
"Works for me." Rex agreed jumping on those same platforms with his Punk Busters.
"Hey bro, looks like we're being road blocked right now." Rex said seeing a breakable wall in their path.
"Not for long. Let's see if this works." Swampfire doubted pressing the Omnitrix symbol and changed into... "Humungousaur!" He shouted before breaking the wall down and found the next room.
"Gotta love that dino-strength. And it looks like I was right about Vulkanus. Hey baby man!" Rex called out getting Vulkanus' attention.
"L-10 and Gen-X? From the Omnitrix Team? Aww... What are you doing here?! I won't let you foil my plans again! This time I'm prepared!" Vulkanus spoke sending his pickaxes minions to attack Humungousaur and Rex.
"Seriously? He's hiding behind his little army again. Hey Lincoln, show 'em what new things you got." Rex told when Humungousaur pressed the Omnitrix which made four prongs pop and he becomes...
"ULTIMATE HUMUNGOUSAUR!" The now evolved Vaxasaurian roared showing his intimidating armored appearance.
"Sweet! Let's show them what this human machine and walking dino-tank can do!" Rex responded building up his Slam Cannon.
"My thoughts exactly. Arrgh!" Ultimate Humungousaur roared charging and ramming several pickaxe minions.
"Okay. You guys make this look easy for us." Rex said shooting pickaxe minions surrounding him away while Ult. Humungousaur got rid of the remaining ones with his fists, shockwave making and bio-missiles. "Seriously Vulkanus? Is that the best you got?" He mocked while Ult. Humungousaur changes back into Humungousaur and then to Lincoln.
"Lucky I got more important things to deal with than you!" Vulkanus responded retreating.
"We better go after him. Who knows what he's after this time." Lincoln suggested when he and Rex flew up the stairs and Rex took out some more pickaxe minions.
"Looks like our way out is through that hole. But we're too big for that." Rex noticed seeing a small hole with cage bars.
"Maybe. But let me see if I could turn into someone who isn't." Lincoln planned pressing the Omnitrix and transforms into... "Echo-Echo!" He shouted breaking through the bars and goes in the small tunnel.
"Don't worry about me. I'll just bust through this baby." Rex said through the wall that led to the same room Echo-Echo came into also.
"So, how do we get through the bars here?" Echo-Echo asked turning back to normal.
"I got this one this time." Rex volunteered using his Smack Hands to move an old cage to a large button which opened the bars.
"Thanks Rex." Lincoln thanked as they went ahead.
Cutaway to after getting through some tough obstacles and solved difficult puzzles, Lincoln and Rex reached a room that has a statue that looks like the Trojan Horse.
"Hey. That looks like the Trojan Horse and that must be the gate way out of here. But how do we get it to come, so we can open it?" Rex asked while Lincoln spots an old cage.
"I think I got an idea. Hope it's recharged enough." Lincoln spoke dialing the Omnitrix's circle and once again turns into... "Humungousaur!" He roared moving the cage onto a button which made the Trojan Horse rise from the ground while rock pillars came out.
"Well, that's our first problem solved. But what about getting the gate open?" Rex asked when his Plumbers' badge beep and Jazz appeared on the screen.
"Hey guys. Don't forget Humungousaur's super strength can seriously come in handy. Try using his mighty muscles on cranks, valves and other heavy objects like that. Lincoln doesn't call him Humungousaur for nothing." Jazz said.
"Thanks Jazz." Humungousaur thanked before he ran towards a crank and turned it until it opened a skylight while showing some illusions among the pillars.
"Guess that's answers my other question. Hey Lincoln, see if you can Terraspin a shot at this. We can get to the other side more easily now." Rex said while Humungousaur pressed the Omnitrix and became...
"Terraspin!" He called out as both he and Rex flew and hover from pillar to pillar and got to the other side while continuing their path they took down more pickaxe minions.
"Nice one." Rex complimented as they reached another room while approaching a pad which could be meant for something like Terraspin.
"Hey Lincoln, these special pads give Terraspin and extra boost. See if you can launch yourself." Jazz informed on the Plumbers' badge while Terraspin launched himself to the other side.
"Sweet. Never thought Rome's catacombs would have something for us." Rex said using his Boogie Pack to follow.
"Some jobs were just made for a giant turtle guy and this is one of those times." Kevin commented on the Plumber's badge while Terraspin and Rex continued to pull levers, get passed platforms and launched and hover or flew themselves to the other side and got passed some spikes until they reached another room with Vulkanus.
"Looks like Vulkanus is still here." Rex guessed while Terraspin turned back to normal.
"Then whatever he's looking for, we gotta stop him." Lincoln agreed entering the same room with Vulkanus.
Once Lincoln and Rex reached the room, Vulkanus turned and noticed them.
"You again? Why do you have to keep following me around?" Vulkanus asked in complaint.
"Right. Like we got nothing better to do than follow you around." Rex answered in sarcasm while building up his Big Fat Sword.
"Lucky I got more important things to deal with than you, except you're in my way... So get lost!" Vulkanus threatened about to attack.
"Finally, you've stopped hiding behind your minions, Vulkanus." Lincoln commented before turning into "Humungousaur!" He roared as he and Rex defeated Vulkanus easily.
"Oh no! Arggh!" Vulkanus groaned before collapsing before Rex touched his suit and deactivate it with his nanites.
"Heh, for good measure." Rex shrugged while Humungousaur turned back to normal.
"Great job, Rex. Now let's go!" Lincoln ordered as they continued going through the catacombs.
Moments later, Lincoln turned into Echo-Echo so he can duplicate to open a gate to open for him and Rex.
"We fight evil, stop powerful bad guys, save the universe a couple a times, but a door gets in our way?" Kevin asked when Echo-Echo got the door opened.
"Not anymore." Rex answered while Echo-Echo turned back to normal before in the next room, triggered another lever which revealed more illusion traps.
"Okay, who build something like this? I mean seriously." Kevin asked on the Plumbers badge while Lincoln and Rex got pasted the room.
"I believe the ancient Romans or Christians of ancient Rome build it to keep intruders out." Chase answered on the Plumber's badge while several Spartan soldiers appeared in front of Lincoln and Rex.
"Looks like we're finally gonna face some soldiers who used to live here." Rex noticed building his Fun Chucks.
"Yep. Let me see if they can take us on." Lincoln nodded dialing the Omnitrix and becomes... "Armodrillo!" He shouted as they both took down the Spartan soldiers.
"Man, guess Spartans are as tough as people thought." Rex said as they continued their path by solving more puzzles, taking down a Spartan Range (holding a cross bow) and unlocking a door way to a stair case.
"Hey Rex, looks like we found our way out. Just got to get passed some illusions." Lincoln noticed.
"Got it bro. I've been waiting to see the sky anyway." Rex agreed as they climbed the staircase and got passed the illusions placed on them.
Once Lincoln and Rex got out of the catacombs to the Roman Colosseum, Enoch appeared from the center completely in soldier armor and a sword.
"Enoch? So, this is where you've been hiding from us all this time?" Lincoln asked surprised.
"Ah, Lincoln Loud. Verily have I hoped our path would cross again someday. Forsoothe! My powers have been growing for lo several months hence!" Enoch spoke.
"Yeah, along with your body odor... Don't get out much from here do ya?" Rex asked building his Blast Caster.
"Thou cannot stoppath me this time! I have been enhanced by yon alien artifact and..." Enoch plotted.
"Sorry to interrupt. But we gotta stop you. It's time to be a hero!" Lincoln interrupted with his suit in Battle Mode while some Spartans came up.
"Looks like we're in for a Gladiator fight. I always wanted to fight bad guys here." Rex said whipping and shocking some of the Spartans with his Blast Caster.
"Yep. Knowing Lynn, she would be jealous and sorry she missed this." Lincoln mentioned trying to dodge and kick some Spartans himself.
"Knowing how much she and many of our friends who love sports, can't argue with you there." Rex agreed.
"Hey Rex, I think I got an idea." Lincoln started.
"Well, dear brother of mine, I'm all ears. Lay it on me!" Rex dared in agreement.
"I think the source of the force field protecting Enoch could be those giant stones. If we could push them into the center then like a button it can't deactivate it." Lincoln planned.
"Works for me. You try going with Humungousaur. I'll cover you." Rex volunteered switching to his Block Party.
"Okay. Be careful." Lincoln told before he turned into... "Humungousaur!" He roared pushing the first stone until stick while the first pillar on the center went down. "That should do it. Now for the other ones." Humungousaur said when some more Spartans arrived.
"Don't worry, I got this! Keep going!" Rex told fighting off the Spartans with his Bad Axes.
"Thanks Rex." Humungousaur thanked before getting to another stone while destroying a fallen pillar that's blocking it and pushed the stone into the center which made the second pillar go down.
"Hey Lincoln, I see that last one blocked by some buttons. Maybe Echo-Echo could help too." Rex noticed stopping more Spartans while Humungousaur switches to...
"Echo-Echo!" Echo-Echo shouted running to the last stone which was just like what Rex said. "Divide and conquer!" He added duplicated into two as they both pressed the buttons which unblocked the stone while Echo-Echo switches back to Humungousaur who pushed the stone in and disabled the force field.
"No mere children can defeateth me. I shall crush thou!" Enoch threatened before fighting Humungousaur and Rex while duplicating himself.
"Looks who's done hiding. Though I wasn't expecting that! Let's show him who the true gladiators are." Rex responded now using his Big Fat Sword as a power saw.
"Time to send this knight back into the Renaissance!" Humungousaur decided as they worked together and took down Enoch.
"Thou canst not defeat me! The power of yon artifact 'tis MINE!" Enoch groaned in defeat while Humungousaur changed back into Lincoln.
"Not if we have anything to say about it! Let's end this madness Rex!" Lincoln opposed pulling the artifact from Enoch with Rex's help.
"I always wanted to say this. It may be Rome but it's worth saying. Madness? This is SPARTA!" Rex yelled kicking them both and the artifact with his Punk Busters.
"NOOOOOO!" Enoch yelled until he was knocked into the wall and fell unconcious.
"Great job, Rex!" Lincoln said high fiving Rex.
"You too, lil buddy." Rex complimented back before throwing the artifact to the ground.
A moment later, Lincoln was calling Devin on the Omnitrix after Rex called the rest of the Omnitrix Team for pick up.
"Hey Devin? It's Lincoln. Sorry about that. Our hands were a little full and we just got out of Rome's catacombs. Don't worry Julie is safe with everyone else." Lincoln called.
"By the way, Devin. Any EVO sightings reported on your blog?" Rex asked on his Plumbers badge.
"For once, I don't care about that Rex! This is serious! I've been monitoring a cosmic storm on the outskirts of our galaxy that seems to be making its way towards the Earth! You guys have to do something!" Devin alerted from his computer.
"Don't worry, man. Send us the coordinates and we'll show you how the pros handle these things." Rex responded while Lincoln called some Plumbers.
Near Saturn, several Plumbers ships were patrolling when they got Lincoln called them.
"Attention... All Plumbers in Sector 7-G. This is Lincoln Loud. Please investigate possible cosmic storm approaching coordinates Alpha, Niner, Tango. Repeat Alpha, Niner Tango. Lincoln Loud, out. " Lincoln reported as the ships flew towards the coordinates.
A moment later, the rest of the Omnitrix Team arrived in Rust Bucket 3 to pick up Lincoln and Rex.
"There you go, Devin. You can relax now. Let the Plumbers in the vicinity look into it. Now, let us and Julie know about and updates on your blog. Thanks. Big fan of your work." Rex finished hanging up on his Plumbers badge before Devin could finish.
"I got a bad feeling about this, Rex. I hope nothing really bad is coming." Lincoln hoped as they both boarded with the rest of the Omnitrix Team on Rust Bucket 3 as it flew off from Rome.
