Jen sat on a stool in a recording booth with a headset on and a microphone in front of her as she clutched her guitar strapped around her as the producer adjusted the settings with Becky and Ally behind her.
"Whenever you're ready, Jen," the producer said. "You can start."
"Okay, got it," Jen said.
She started playing her guitar rhythmically with her friends smiling to her as she began to sing.
"Life can be a battlefield
Scared to know what could be real
It takes hold, I lose my nerve
I fail before I try
What if I'm not good enough?
What if I run when it gets tough?
No matter what they say
My worst enemy is me
And I'm dreaming of another life
I'm dreaming and I dare to fly
I'm dreaming that I could touch the sky
Don't tell me that I can't
That I'll lose like it's your demand
I'm on the edge about to take the leap
Here goes nothing
Here goes nothing, yeah
Choose how to live your life
Figure out what's worth the fight
Do what you want and go for it
And don't believe the lies
The voice it says you're on your own
You will always be alone
You won't reach your dreams
So give up if you all fall
But I'm dreaming of another life
I'm dreaming and I dare to fly
I'm dreaming that I could touch the sky
Don't tell me that I can't
That I'll lose like it's your demand
I'm on the edge about to take the leap
Here goes nothing
Here goes nothing, yeah
Don't tell me that I can't
That I'll lose like it's your demand
I'm on the edge about to take the leap..."
"Cut. Great!" the producer said, ending the recording. "I can't believe that it took you and your brother being outed as superheroes for me to discover you."
"Me either," Becky said. "You have the voice of an angel, Jen."
"Oh, stop it," Jen said. "You're making me blush."
"Now we need to find someone to do a duet with you in the future," the producer said. "I'll go see if Ben Platt is available."
"I'll be waiting," Jen said before she heard an alert on her phone and she sighed as she took the headset off and exited the recording booth. "Gotta run. There's a crime going on in the warehouse district."
"Take your time," Ally said. "Need our help?"
"It's Ssserpent."
"Oh, yeah you definitely don't need us."
Ben stood by some cars as the humanoid snake stood over him with an evil hiss.
"Who are you to challenge the might of Ssserpent?"
"I'm the co-leader of the Earth division of the Plumbers and you're breaking your parole."
"And do you think you posssesss the power to ssstop me?"
"Yep, kinda do," Ben said as he transformed into...
"Four Arms!" the Tetramand shouted, now wearing a green sleeveless bodysuit with a goatee and black pants with the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
"You will be my evening sssnack!"
Ssserpent shot his snake hands out at Four Arms, who simply caught them in his hands.
"Nope. Strike two."
"We appear to be at sssomething of a ssstandoff."
Suddenly, he was struck by a heatray from above as Firefly flew in before landing on the ground, her four legs touching as she crossed her arms.
"And now you're not."
Four Arms then used his lower two arms to grab two cars and slammed them into Ssserpent, smashing him between them as he groaned out.
"I'd like to go home now... pleasssse."
The twins transformed back as Ben looked at Jen with a smirk.
"You're late."
"Hey, recording sessions take time, bro. We're getting a lot of press now and you and I both want to take some advantage of this fame thing."
"I know, I know."
Suddenly, the whirring of helicopter blades sounded and the twins looked to see a helicopter land close by them and out stepped a well-dressed man in a ponytail and goatee.
"Ben and Jen Tennyson. What a marvelous fight that was. You two are even more impressive in person. I'm Oliver, world famous video game producer and I want to be in business with you, Ben and Jen 10. We're going to make you two the stars of your own video game."
"Oh man!" Ben and Jen both sounded as they grabbed hands and started squealing like five year olds.
Kevin's car rolled into Stratton's Ale House's parking lot as Gwen stepped out of the driver's seat and Kevin stepped out of the passenger seat as both slammed the doors as Ally and Becky looked on from inside as Ally stepped out, still in her chef's jacket as Gwen growled at her boyfriend.
"You are unbelievable!"
"Guys, you'll never guess what happened to us today," Ben said.
"What, I try to teach you to drive and now I'm the bad guy?"
"You are the worst teacher ever!"
"If you're mad at me, fine, but don't take it out on the car!"
"So we're fighting Ssserpent and right after we clean his clock-"
"Look, Gwen, you have to treat a car like you treat a woman-"
Everyone looked at Kevin weirdly as Gwen raised an eyebrow.
"You do realize I'm straight, right?" Gwen asked. "But go on."
"No, never mind. I sense I made a mistake of some kind."
"We're going to be in a video game!" Jen shouted. "The Ben and Jen 10 video game!"
"You never stop criticizing and doing that breathing thing."
"I'm breathing wrong?"
"You know what I mean, that thing where it sounds like you're breathing but it really means that I disappointed you somehow?"
Kevin sighed heavily as Ally facepalmed at that.
"Cut it out!"
"Oh, come on, Gwen! Don't pout!"
"As if anyone can be unhappy on the day when we get our own video game!" Ben exclaimed.
it was at that point that Gwen had spitballs shot at her as she looked to her boyfriend, who had a straw in his mouth and Gwen started twitching angrily.
"Come on, kind of cute, right?"
"Kind of disgusting. Are those spit wads, jackass?"
"To be fair, spit was wash out. That gigantic dent you put in my front bumper? Different story"
"Okay, before you two break up, we have an idea," Jen said. "Ben and I have our licenses. We'll teach her and Becky."
"That's a bad idea," Ally said with a sigh.
"So you two are going to take us driving?" Becky asked.
"In a little while," Ben said. "Right now, we have to go get scanned for our video game."
"What video game?" Kevin asked.
Later, Kevin and Ally stood beside Oliver in a large studio set with tons of green screens around them as Oliver clasped his hands.
"Ben and Jen Tennyson, are you two for your close-up."
Ben and Jen then stepped out onto the sets, clad in motion capture suits with dots painted on their faces with the Ultimatrixes exposed.
"We're ready," Ben said.
"But what kind of video game is this going to be?" Jen asked. "Handheld, console or PC? FPS? RPG? Maybe an MMO?"
"Dorks," Kevin scoffed.
"Before we can make any kind of game, we have to scan your movements and powers into the computer. Those motion-capture suits you're wearing should help her with that."
"So anything we can do will be in the game?" Ben asked.
"Whatever all of your transformations can do will be in the game."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Jen asked as she and Ben slammed down the Ultimatrixes and transformed into...
"Humungousaur!"
"Firefox!"
Humungousaur started giving out tons of punches and kicks with a swipe of his mace while Firefox gave tons of claw swipes an a whip of her tail before shooting out her fireballs and flame streams from her hands as Humungousaur gave a kick and a stomp.
"I haven't even tried this move yet. You can put that in the game."
"Let us stick to your actual moves. We want this to be as realistic as we can possibly make it."
"Oh god," Ally said as she ran her hands through her hair. "I don't even want to watch this trainwreck. But I can't turn away."
This continued for another minute until one of the ball sensors on Humungousaur's shoulder fell off and rolled towards Oliver.
"Uh... one of my balls fell off."
"That's okay. Try another transformation."
The twins slapped the Ultimatrix cores and morphed into...
"Nanomech!"
"Frostblight!"
"Are you two invisible?" Oliver asked, not seeing the miniscule aliens.
"No, we're right here," Nanomech said, sticking out from behind the fallen off sensor and flew towards Kevin, Ally and Oliver's faces.
"The little guys? Lame."
"Hey, Frostblight has gotten me out of some pretty tight situations."
"Ben, Jen, these transformations are too small. We can't get a decent scan."
"Oh, okay," Nanomech said. "How about..."
"Jetray!
"And Cold Phase!"
"Did you know as Jetray, I can shoot lasers from my eyes and my tail?"
Jetray did tons of backflips while hovering while Cold Phase shot out her ice breath as Oliver stood by, proud.
"You two are already rich and famous. But when we're done here, you will be world-renowned."
Later at night when all the scanning was done an all the twins' transformations barring the smaller ones were scanned into the computer, Oliver stood by it as a familiar voice sounded out by him.
"Did you get it?"
"Yes sir, Mr. Harangue," Oliver said as he removed his fake goatee and ponytail. "Everything you need to destroy Ben and Jen Tennyson."
Will Harangue stood by with an evil smile on his face.
Gwen drove the DX-Mark 10 through Bellwood nervously while Becky drove beside her in Pink Angel with a confident look on her face as Ben and Jen stood in the passenger seat with a satisfied simile.
"Am I doing okay?" a nervous Gwen asked. "Should I stay in this gear or downshift?"
"So Jen, I wonder what our game is going to be like?" Ben asked his sister on his cellphone. "I hope it's like 'Sumo Slammers 4: Tournament Edition.'"
"I wonder if we'll get a sequel? If so, I wonder what that will be like?"
Suddenly, both cars stopped harshly.
"Little easier on the brakes, Gwen," Ben said... before all jaws dropped as they spotted a large red spider droid looming over them as it scanned the twins' cars and spotted the twins inside. "Forget what I said! Go, go, go!"
"Floor it!" Jen shouted as the two sisters did a U-Turn and slammed on the gas as the droid chased after them.
"First to second, second to third," Gwen said worriedly as Jen looked to Becky as she prepared her Ultimatrix.
"Promise me you'll take care of Pink Angel," Jen said as Becky nodded and she and her brother slammed down the Ultimatrix cores.
"Spidermonkey!"
"Kung Fang!"
"Keep it steady, Gwen!"
"Believe me, I'm trying!"
"And keep your hands at the 10:00 and 2:00 positions!" Kung Fang screeched as she flew up and Spidermonkey shot a web from his tail at the giant droid and it simply splattered against it as Kung Fang flew in and slashed several times... not even leaving a scratch behind as her non-seeing eyes widened sharply and she turned to her brother as she flew next to him to keep up.
"Bellwood, we have a problem."
The giant robot opened a socket in its front and blasted after our heroes as Gwen and Becky swerved between the oncoming vehicles as Kung Fang landed on Pink Angel and she tapped on the roof.
"Keep it steady, Becky!"
"Believe me, we're trying!"
"Road work ahead!" Gwen shouted.
"Hit the brakes! The brakes!"
Gwen then slammed down... on the wrong pedal.
"No, the other pedal!"
Gwen then shot her glowing hand out and a ramp of mana was conjured from the road to the upcoming bridge above as the cars were launched over the bridge and landed on the other side.
"Maybe it can stop Spidermonkey, but it won't stop Chromastone!" the Arachnichimp shouted, slamming his hand on the core before transforming into...
"Swampfire... was not who I was going for," the Methanosian deadpanned as his sister slammed her own core and transformed into...
"Rockette! We can still make this work."
Swampfire sent his flame streams out... that were instantly extinguished by two extinguishers on the top of the robot's head as Rockette played a wicked soundwave from her guitar that was instantly blocked by a forcefield.
"What the hell?"
Swampfire tossed some seeds to the ground that instantly grew into massive vines that wrapped around the robot's legs, briefly stopping it. But then, a streamer popped out from the robot's underside and spat out acid at all the vines that instantly killed them and it continued after our heroes.
"What are we gonna do?" Becky shouted at Rockette.
"I don't know!" Swampfire shouted. "I've got nothing."
Then, the robot aimed a blaster from its head at the two cars... when a minivan with the same color scheme as the DX-Mark 10 passed on the bridge up ahead and the robot changed course and took off after it already.
"Great. Innocent bystanders," Jen groaned. "Why can't our job be easier?"
The twins then slammed their cores down again and transformed into...
"Jetray!"
"AeroForce!"
The flying aliens then took to the sky after the robot as Gwen and Becky nodded.
"Right. We're right behind you!" Gwen shouted as the two... then knocked over the street barrier and went into the lawn ahead instantly stopped in their tracks. "Well, that's just typical."
Becky struggled to start the car by turning the key again and she shouted out and slammed against the steering wheel... before the airbag instantly deployed and smashed into her face.
The robot fired after the other family in the green minivan... just before the twins caught it and set it down.
"We've got you!"
Suddenly, several explosions occurred along the robot's frame as it looked to see Lucky Girl and Huntress firing several mana bolts and explosive arrows at it. It aimed its cannons at them and fired as they avoided it with some well-timed jumps as AeroForce sent a powerful gale at the robot... only for its legs to grow extra legs, planting it firml in the ground.
Jetray fired his beams from his eyes and tail at the thing... only for a mirror to deploy from its top and the twins were hit by the lasers and hit the ground hard.
"Ow," AeroForce squawked out as the twins transformed back, not moving.
The robot then walked off into the distance as Lucky Girl and Huntress helped them up.
"You guys okay?"
"Yeah, but what was that thing?" Jen asked.
"I don't get it," Ben said. "Why would that thing attack us, counter everything we threw at it, only to go and attack someone else..."
"...before running away?" Will asked Oliver, who sat in a computer with a sigh. "The Stalker was winning. Why did you recall it?"
"It mistook a minivan for Ben's car," Oliver said. "Its automatic control settings aren't smart enough."
"Then don't set it on auto. Let me drive," Will smirked evilly.
Little did either of them know, planted in a few areas of the video game set area, a few hidden cameras and microphones were recording the entire conversation. And the pair were being gazed upon by the Omni-Team's resident hacker as he sipped his soda at his computer as he smirked.
"If the twins can win against your machine, your ass is grass, Harangue," Clay smirked as he whipped his phone out to call Becky.
The two sets of twins burst into Omni-Manor as Kevin stood watching the TV as he flipped through the channels and Ally was at the bench weights in the corner, pumping her guns.
"So, how'd your little lesson go?"
"It could've gone better," Gwen said.
"Good," Ally said, getting up from the bench as she felt at her biceps and walked over to the TV. "Because we've got something you two need to see."
"Tonight on The Harangue Nation, exclusive footage of Ben and Jen 10's latest rampage through Bellwood," Will reported.
The Omni-Team looked on at the footage of the destroyed road areas from the Stalker's battle with the twins.
"This carnage is typical of the destruction they leave everywhere they go. Well, I say it's time to stop them once and for all. I've spent fourteen million dollars of my own money to make sure that the menace of Ben and Jen 10 is stopped. I'm calling you out, Ben and Jen 10!"
Kevin spat a spitball at Harangue's head just as Becky turned the TV off.
"Kind of a coincidence with the robot today," Gwen said.
"Yeah," Jen said, crossing her arms. "But how would a TV blowhard like Harangue be behind something of that design? It perfectly countered everything we threw at it."
"But how else could he have gotten that video footage?" Gwen asked. "He must have had a camera on the robot."
"Normally, this kind of thing could be a problem," Becky said before she pulled out her phone. "But, luckily, as you're aware, we've expanded our repertoire. We have a hacker working for the Plumbers now."
"Oh, right," Ben realized with a smile.
"We're gonna beat Harangue at his own game. Clay can work his magic on the cameras in the area and we can flip all the footage on him," Ally realized.
"And, we're kind of galactically recognized as the leaders of Earth," Jen realized. "He's going to try to assassinate actual monarchs? Please."
"We'll get this thing taken care of later," Ben said. "But for now, you two have a test to take."
"Test?"
At the Bellwood DMV, Gwen sat in the driver's seat of the DX-Mark 10 as Ben smiled to her.
"Good luck, Gwen."
The instructor then stood in front of the window as he looked to her.
"Ms. Tennyson? My name is Mr. Webb. I'll be administering your driving test today."
"Uh, hello."
Mr. Webb got into the passenger seat and buckled up. "Now, if you're feeling nervous, don't be. It could be a lot worse."
"How?"
"Well, you could be me. You only have to go through this once today. I have to do this all day long. Ha ha, that was a little joke there, just to kind of break the tension."
"Okay..."
"Well, let's start the car and pull her carefully into traffic."
Gwen nervously sighed as she drove the car and started driving through Bellwood.
"So far, so good. Now, if you could just parallel park between those two cars there."
Gwen confidently and carefully parked the car... just as two laser blasts came in and destroyed the other two cars and Gwen looked up to see the Stalker looming over her.
"Yes, that's very good, Ms. Tennyson. Now if you could just please get out of here!"
Gwen floored it and peeled away from the Stalker before giving a sharp right turn and grappled the steering wheel as she dodged and swerved the lasers.
"Sorry!"
"No, no, that's good. You signaled before you dodged the... laser."
The Stalker popped a ton of rockets from its sockets and shot them after Ben's car as Gwen activated the nitrous and she dodged them away.
"Come on, Tennyson," Harangue said from his control room as he steered the Stalker after Gwen. "Come out, come out wherever you are."
"I love the idea of co-op in our game," Ben said to Jen as they stood by a man sitting at a stand at the DMV. "But don't you think it'd be weird to have multiple Bens and Jens running around?"
"Think? We lived it," Jen reminded as the man sighed.
"Are you two going to sign my petition or not?"
The twins then hear a massive explosion in the distance and got up as they looked to each other and nodded as they ran to the explosion and transformed.
"Cannonbolt!"
"Battlefly!"
Gwen continued to dodge the lasers as Mr. Webb was freaking out completely as he turned to her.
"I think I've seen enough, Ms. Tennyson. If you could just turn around and take me back to the motor vehicles builing- no! No, no, no!"
Gwen turned another corner as the Stalker shot a claw out that grabbed the trunk of the car and Mr. Webb screamed out... just as Cannonbolt and Battlefly showed up with a scowl to the Stalker.
"There he is," Harangue smirked as he let go of Ben's car.
Cannonbolt dodged the laser blasts in his ball form and charged forwards... only for the Stalker to blast an adhesive substance onto the floor below that Cannonbolt landed on and he struggled to get out.
Battlefly flew in and sent a wind blast from her wings as the Stalker stuck its extra legs into the ground and it swatted the butterfly-like alien to the ground net to her brother with a groan.
"It's like it's ready for everything before we even think of it!" Cannonbolt shouted.
The Stalker swatted them into a nearby house... just as a flash of green and pink light flashed out.
"Big Chill!"
"Water Lily!"
"But are you ready for this?" the Necrofriggian asked as he blasted forth with a blast of cold air to freeze the Stalker... only for it to break free with a laser from its eye as Water Lily ducked under him and slashed apart the extra legs with her pressurized water streams... only for a laser to blast out from its underside and into her brother.
"I guess it was," the Fernovian groaned.
The Stalker blasted at them as Big Chill used his intangibility to phase him and his sister into the ground as they reappeared a short distance away as the DX-Mark 10 pulled in and Gwen stepped out and changed into Lucky Girl as she prepared to come on... only for Mr. Webb to call her.
"Um, Ms. Tennyson? I need a ride back to the DMV."
"I'll get back to you as soon as I-"
"Not from you! I just need to borrow your phone so I can call a cab."
Gwen sulked in defeat as Big Chill looked to his sister as she groaned in pain.
"Okay, there can't be a lot of power in the Ultimatrixes left. Omni and Trixie are going to have to recharge sooner or later. But I think we have enough power for one more try."
Water Lily groaned as she and Big Chill slapped the Ultimatrix symbols an they transformed into...
"Lodestar!"
"Hairicane!"
Hairicane ducked and dodged the Stalker's legs and wrapped her pink locks around all four spider-like legs as Lodestar let his magnetic wave loose... only for diddlysquat to happen.
"What?!" Hairicane asked in shock as she struggled with holding the Stalker back, her scalp clearly hurting from the Stalker pulling her hair.
"I can't magnetize him? What's this thing made of?!"
The Stalker lifted its legs and tossed Hairicane into a heap on the ground and went to stab Lodestar as he grabbed its front two legs. A claw then popped out of the Stalker's frame and he grabbed Lodestar's head and tossed him straight into his sister... straight through another house and into the backyard.
"...Ow," the Folliculan groaned.
The Stalker marched over to them and prepared to bring its legs down on the twins and... was instantly blocked by a forcefield as Lucky Girl focused on protecting her cousins for a few minutes before the shield shattered.
The twins transformed back to human form and groaned out as they both fell unconscious in the crater they were in.
"Beat you," Harangue sneered. "You can't escape, Tennyson Twins. You can't escape justice."
However just as the twins came to... the Stalker was suddenly recalled as Jen groaned and helped her brother up with shaky legs.
"Again? Really?" Jen asked as Lucky Girl ran to them and helped them to the car.
"You mind if I drive you back to Omni-Manor? You're clearly in no condition to drive."
"Fine," Ben groaned.
Harangue released the controls as Oliver turned to him.
"What are you doing? You had them."
"I know that, pinhead. But every time I fight the Tennysons, my ratings break records. I should have done this during sweeps."
"The longer you drag this thing out, the better chance they have to figure out a way to beat the Stalker."
"Don't worry. Their time runs out tomorrow. It'll be the television event of the century: The Death of Ben and Jen 10: Live!"
"More exclusive footage of Ben and Jen 10 on the rampage," Harangue said, showing the footage of Ben and Jen scaring the reporters away when their secret first got out as the twins fumed as Becky laid a hand on Ben's shoulder in comfort. "Reckless disregard for people, easily the most dangerous man and woman in the world. Worse, our kids are emulating them."
Kevin shot a spitball at Harangue as Jen balled her hands into fists as her eyes flashed pink and Gwen stuck her hand out and a defeated Kevin handed his straw to her as he groaned.
"And that's why I spent 36 million dollars of my own money to put a stop to them once and for all. Tomorrow night, Ben and Jen 10. 8:00 PM, Washington Mall. I'm calling you out. Don't keep me waiting."
"Great!" Jen shouted as she flipped the table over with a shout of effort. "Just great!"
"I can't believe this is happening to us," Ben sighed as Jen stood up from the couch and flipped around to face him, practically going crazy with rage.
"We can't go after celebrities without hard evidence against them, bro! Aren't you fricking pissed off?!" Jen asked her brother, flying into a rage as he nodded to her with an understanding glare on his face. "We can't go after any celebrities! They have government protection. Do you want to get arrested? I don't want to get arrested! This sucks, man!"
"Come on, Jen," Becky said. "Calm down."
"Calm down?!" Jen asked, her eyes glowing pink. "How can I calm down?! We've got this guy who fucking hates us, tries to ruin our whole fucking life and now he's fucking going to try to murder us on live TV?! Is he?"
"Well, he just challenged you two to a battle and he admitted to spending 36 million dollars to destroy you two. And he's obviously going to be filming this for his show," Ally noted.
"This is bullshit!" Jen shouted, pulling at her hair.
"Well, Clay's doing his thing as we speak," Becky said. "He's been a professional hacker for the past five years. Hacking into the mall's security cameras is going to be child's play for him. He can gather all the hard evidence you need against Harangue and how he's making you look to the naked eye. You'll get your fans back, he might not get cancelled, but no one ill believe what he has to say about you two again."
The twins looked to each other and nodded.
"Jen, he's got doctored footage against us and he's planning on turning the entire world against us. Possibly our entire family."
"We have to put a stop to this," Jen confirmed. "Right now, we have to put a stop to this."
"We have to stop this."
"Our reputation is on the line, we have to go," Jen confirmed as Ally went to him and took his hands.
"You're positive about this, guys?"
"Yes, we are."
"But why show up on his schedule?"
"Well, we know that he's gong to be there at 8:00 and I really want to kick his ass."
As the Omni-Team arrived at the Washington Mall, Clay sat in his room and cracked his knuckles as he pressed a button and his keyboard split into five sections as he chuckled, pulling up the mall's security camera feed.
"Hello, Mr. Security Feed. You're about to get Clayed."
He immediately got to work in hacking as Harangue sat down at his desk as the cameras began rolling on him.
"Welcome, America, to a very special live edition of The Will Harangue Nation. You've seen all week, exclusively on The Will Harangue Nation just how dangerous Ben and Jen Tennyson are. Somebody's got to stand up to the danger, America," Harangue said as he rolled his chair over to the controls of the Stalker as he smirked. "And Will Harangue is that somebody. Ben and Jen 10, your reign of terror ends now!"
The Stalker was shot into the mall area as a crowd formed around the team as the Stalker showed Harangue's face on its front as he glared down at the team as several bystanders started filming the event with their phones as the twins activated their suits and the rest got their suits on just as fireworks were set off behind the Stalker.
"Any last words?"
"None that we're allowed to say on live television," Jen muttered through gritted teeth as she and Ben activated their Ultimatrixes and transformed into...
"Humungousaur!"
"Inferno!"
The Vaxasaurian ran at the Stalker as he swerved and dodged around his movements and fired a flamethrower at him, just as the Pyronite jumped in and absorbed the flames.
The Stalker shot two rockets at them as Inferno shot two fireballs at them that instantly destroyed the rockets.
Huntress shouted out as she dodged the Stalker's legs and started attacking with her spear as Harangue stabbed the legs down on her and she slid through the grass on her legs before she took her bow out and shot an explosive arrow out, which slightly damaged the underside.
Her sister flew in an sent tons of mana discs out, which the Stalker withstood as he shot two rockets out that the team all avoided and it blasted into the replica of the Capitol Building.
"Give me a boost!" Kevin shouted as he absorbed some concrete and Lucky Girl created a platform beneath her boyfriend's feet that boosted him up as he shouted out and slammed into the Stalker's face as Matter Girl walked over to a power line and took a small sample of the electricity in it before she zipped over and blasted out her lightning to the Stalker, shocking it slightly as Humungousaur tried to pick up the Stalker, only for him to get massively shocked him as Inferno zipped by, transforming into...
"Discharge!"
The Fulminian Eclairdjinn dissolved her body into electricity... just as the Stalker hit her with a water cannon, causing her to get massively shocked by her own powers as she fell down and the twins were both pelted with several rockets.
However, a stray one hit the replica of the Washington Monument and Humungousaur gasped as he ran over and caught the monument before it could fall on some innocent bystanders as he grew to sixty feet and set it upright again.
"Great footage," Oliver said as a stagehand handed him a piece of paper.
"Not for me, it's not," Harangue said as the footage showed that the twins were actually doing what they do best: saving lives.
"The instant ratings?" Oliver said as Harangue took the ratings and smirked.
"It's obvious. Everybody loves to watch Ben and Jen 10!"
Kevin grabbed a bench and tried to smash it against the Stalker as Lucky Girl and Huntress sent out tons of explosive arrows and mana balls that all slightly damaged the Stalker, but it only swatted Huntress with its leg into a bench before sending rockets out to her sister, which she barely blocked with a forcefield before she was knocked out.
It then picked up Kevin and Matter Girl before shocking them violently, knocking them both unconscious.
"Leave them alone!" Discharge shouted. "It's us you're after, Harangue!"
"Right you are. And it's close to the end of the hour. Better wrap this up."
Humungousaur swiped at the droid as it lifted to his height and Discharge blasted lightning at him, only for the Stalker to blast lasers at her that she avoided by dissolving herself into electricity.
"...Wait a minute," Humungousaur said as the Stalker shocked him and he fell into the water nearby. "You scouted all our moves."
"He programmed the robot with the information on our aliens from the video game scan!" Discharge realized. "That's how this thing knows everything we're going to do!"
"You really should've known that thing was a hoax!"
"I only believed it because you believed it first!" Discharge shouted as she was blasted with a water cannon from the Stalker as Humungousaur caught her.
"Now's not the time for that. We've got to think of something we've never done before... like something from a game."
"Gotcha!" Discharge said as she slapped her Ultimatrix core and transformed into...
"Kung Fang!"
"Let's try Sumo Slammers 4: Tournament Edition!"
Humungousaur then sent upon one palm strike after another at the Striker, sening it back as Kung Fang swooped in with a wink.
"Or Street Fighter V: Champion Edition!"
Kung Fang flipped herself upside own, did a full split and spun around rapidly, giving a powerful homage to Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick that sent the Stalker spiraling to the ground and Harangue's controls instantly sparked out, smoking badly.
"What the? Where'd that come from?"
"We've got bigger problems," Oliver said. "They just broke the Stalker's uplink! We've lost all control!"
"I don't want that thing rampaging around with my face on it!" Harangue shouted as the Stalker spiraled out of control, setting off all its weapons as the rest of the team closed in on the twins as they panted out.
"What do we do?" Humungousaur asked. "It took the data from the video game scan. It has countermeasures for every alien in our arsenal!"
Matter Girl smirked as she crosse her arms. "Not every alien."
The twins smirked almost wickedly as they slammed the cores on their chests and transformed into...
"Nanomech!"
"Frostblight!"
"So now what?"
Huntress took a small pod from her belt. She pressed a button on it and it unfolded into a slingshot and she grabbed Frostblight as Lucky Girl took a straw from a cup and handed it to Kevin with Nanomech in her other hand.
"Ugh, Ben cooties."
"Just do it, Kevin!"
Kevin groaned as he sucked Nanomech into the straw and shot him towards the Stalker as Huntress fired Frostblight from her slingshot and they both were shot directly into the Stalker's inner workings.
"Um... what should we break?" Frostblight asked.
"EVERYTHING!" the rest of the team shouted.
Nanomech started punching and kicking every nook and cranny of circuitry in the place as Frostblight sent out a powerful gust of icy wind, freezing everything and the Nanomech took two plugs and grinned deviously.
"I wonder what would happen if I cross these?"
He crossed the two plugs and the Stalker spiraled before crashing on the ground.
"What's happening? Uh... are we still on?"
At that point, the Stalker completely shut down.
Harangue slammed his hands against the controls angrily as Oliver smiled to him.
"Look on the bright side, sir. The ratings were fantastic. And if the police ever find out what's left of the robot, we could rebuild?"
"Looking for this, Harangue?" Jen asked as she along with her brother floating in Anodite form held the Stalker's remains in their telekinesis before Jen close her hand into a fist and the Stalker folded into on itself as they dropped it onto Harangue's car. "Whoops."
"Is that your car?" Oliver asked.
"It was."
The twins floated closer before phasing into the studio to confront Harangue.
"You're busted!" Jen shouted. "Just admit it!"
"I know I'm not Rath right now, but let me tell you something, Will Harangue," Lifeforce said as Jen flew next to him with a thousand-yard hate-filled glance as they stood beside each other before transforming back to human form. "You are extremely lucky to be standing in this studio right now when you should be in the back of a police car."
"All because I endlessly criticized you?"
"We don't care about that. You're not the only one who criticizes us, Harangue," Ben spat. "We've gotten criticisms every day since we first started. We're used to it."
"But you actively tried to annihilate us and our friends," Jen said as she reached into her pocket and showed a flash drive. "And our hacker friend got us the footage to prove it. We are so going to put this stuff on the internet to prove our innocence."
"So you two set me up."
"No, you set yourself up," Ben shot back.
"You are not going to go public with this," Harangue spat.
"Absolutely," Jen stated. "You're risking our lifeblood, you're risking the safety of our family."
"And our reputation," Ben added in.
"And our reputation. And we can't have that," Jen confirmed. "Maybe the news network is going to let you keep your job, because, let's face it, they don't give a crap about what airs. But we're definitely getting all our fans back from this that you turned on us and your viewership is going to plummet. We win. Sorry."
Jen smirked as she snapped her fingers and she and her brother were instantly teleported away.
"...So at the end of it all, Ben and Jen 10 try to frame me for the damage at the Washington Mall. That's the way their kind twists the facts," Harangue reported as Jen scoffed as the team watched this from Omni-Manor.
"Hypocrite."
"But I'm not angry about that or the 170 million dollars of my own money that I lost. It's a small price to pay in the pursuit of freedom. But their childish vandalism of my classic car? It shows what kind of sick, depraved-"
Ally shut the TV off as Kevin turned to the twins.
"Dude, his car?"
"It doesn't matter," Ben said as he laid back. "All those fans he turned against us are now back on our side and our proof of the damage he caused severely affected his ratings. I think this is a job well done."
Gwen and Becky burst in as they held up their licenses. "We passed our driving tests!"
"Not what we were expecting," Jen chuckled as she hugged her cousins. "Great job, girls."
"First round of smoothies is on us," Ben said as Kevin grabbed his keys. "I'm driving."
Gwen and Becky crossed their arms as Kevin shrugged.
"What? Just because you two got your licenses, it doesn't mean I'm gonna-"
A spitball was shot onto Kevin's head as he groaned as Gwen lowered her straw with a smile as Kevin groaned and handed her the keys as she and her sister ran to the car.
"Shotgun!" Ben called out as Jen followed him.
"No way I'm sitting in the back of my own car!" Kevin shouted as Ally rolled her eyes and closed the door behind her.
Meanwhile, in Cinnibar, the immortal warrior queen walked down the halls of Cinnibar City Prison where Caitlyn was waiting for her by the interrogation room, rifle in her hands as she nodded.
"Vi and I just captured her yesterday and had her transferred here. Are you certain this is a risk you're willing to take, My Queen?"
"Yes. I'm always willing to take a chance. Plus, I'll be honest. The one thing the Scarlet Army needs is a wild card. And I can't find anyone more wild than Jinx."
"Your funeral," Caitlyn said as she let Scarlett into the interrogation room, where a young woman was handcuffed to the table and chair.
She had chalk white skin with a few tattoos o the left side of her body with an extremely revealing outfit with a few ammo containers attached to the belt on her short shorts, two different sized boots with a fishnet stocking on her right leg, bright blue hair tied into two long braided pigtails and bright red eyes.
"So," the young woman chuckled as she held her cuffed hands to her chin. "They sent in the queen herself after me. What are you going to do? Kill me with my own beloved weapons?"
"Of course not," Scarlett said as Caitlyn stood by, hands resting on her handguns attached to her belt. "I know you have quite an appetite for destruction, Jinx."
"Oh, that's the understatement of the century," Jinx said. "They don't call me 'The Loose Cannon' for nothing."
"Well, I have a deal to get you out of here. I want you to work for me in the Scarlet Army."
"Interesting proposition," Jinx said. "But what's in it for me?"
"Being as you're a criminal, I could use a wild card on the team. You're one of the most unpredictable criminals in the multiverse and I feel that I can direct your insane energy to a more... positive outlet. If you work for us, you can satisfy your appetite for destruction... by going after our enemies. And I can pay you handsomely for your services."
"Getting paid to actually destroy things? Sounds promising."
"We're going to need to keep you in line... but I promise I'll make it worth your while. If you stay loyal to us."
"Okay, I'm in," Jinx said. "I know you're not a stickler for the old rules."
"Only the ones that I need to keep my pride as a queen and a leader in," Scarlett chuckled as Caitlyn moved in and placed a cuff around Jinx's ankle.
"What's that?"
"Shock bracelet. If you get out of line..." Caitlyn began before she pressed a button on a remote, giving Jinx a violent shock as she fell the ground, giggling.
"Smart girl," Jinx chuckled as she rubbed her head. "Alright, I'll play by your little rules since I can't break them. But I know and even you agree that rules are made to be broken... like buildings! Or people!"
"Save that attitude for the bad guys now, Jinx," Scarlett said as she flipped her long golden locks and left the room as Caitlyn pushed Jinx with her rifle.
"Our trust is something you need to earn, Jinx," Caitlyn sneered. "You won't be getting your badge until you have."
"Done and done," Jinx said. "Now where do you have Fishbones and my other weapons stored?"
"You'll get your weapons when you're called for a mission. Not one second before. You can't be trusted with them just yet."
