Yes, I am definitely going to do the Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United crossover. I would not have started Generator Rex and Roxie if I wasn't planning on doing it.

...But you guys might be disappointed in how exactly I'm planning on handling it. Fair warning.
At the Forever Knights' latest castle, the con man porcupine formally known as Argit walked up with a mischievous whistle as he pressed the doorbell, prompting the door to open to reveal a Knight.
"Whatever you're selling, we're not interested."
"This is a real nice castle you got here. It'd be a shame if anything happened to it," Argit smirked.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your home. Your hearth. Your cache of priceless alien technology."
"Well, if you know about that, you also should know that the Forever Knights are not to be trifled with."
"Oh, I'd never trifle with you guys. In fact, I'm here to help: piece of mind. For just $100,000 a month, I can guarantee that this magnificent castle won't fall down."
"Is that some sort of half-baked threat?" the Knight asked.
"Absolutely not. It's a fully baked promise."
Argit then found himself hoisted into the air by his throat and unsheathed his sword to his temple.
"How do you like that, Sir? I offer you the hand of friendship and you pull out the sword of... not friendship."
Argit only smirked and snapped his fingers as what seemed to be a massive earthquake rang out and massive cracks manifested in the entirety of the castle and the surrounding perimeter.
"All of this could have been avoided," Argit sighed, walking away as the entire castle crumbled into ruins as he smirked with an absolutely wicked glance.
At Mr. Smoothie, there was a line of fans for about a quarter of a mile, leading to the inside where a few security guards stood at attention nearby a standee of Ben and Jen, reading "Meet Us Today!"
Ben and Jen sat at a table, pens at the ready as fans walked up to the Omni-Twins one by one and the pair of superheroes signed collectible smoothie cups with their aliens implanted onto them. The rest of the Omni-Team stood by them, also signing a few autographs of their own for anyone who walked up to them.
"Wow, Ben, Jen," a TV reporter said as the cameras were trained on the twins. "This looks like quite a turnout from your fans, the Wanna-Bens."
"Sorry to correct you, Chet," Jen said. "Our real fans prefer to be called 'Devo-Tens. I mean, we're Ben and Jen 10, it's easier for that name to encapsulate both of us."
"They put the 'dumb' in stardom," Gwen said with a chuckle as she signed a Lucky Girl cup.
"Hey, give them a break, sis," Becky said, signing a Huntress cup. "Maybe they deserve to relish in their new fame."
"Yeah, babe," Kevin said. "Fame turns everyone into a nimrod."
"Hey, hey, hey! No pushing! Pick that up! Stay in line!" a burly security guard said to the fans going crazy in the line. "Were you people raised in a barn?!"
"Single file, let's go!" a female guard said to the fans in Jen's line.
"So?" Ally asked, signing a Matter Girl cup as Jen signed a Battlefly cup. "Explain your new bouncers?"
"Okay, when Ben and I got incredibly fed up that our fans are going to be hounding us wherever we go, we realized that we had to ask Max to get us some security guards to keep our fans in line."
"Our fans are animals," Ben agreed, signing a Spidermonkey cup. "So Max assigned some Plumbers to be our security guards when we do public events like this."
"Some say that charity events such as this are a poor apology for the damage caused by your various battles," Chet said as a rabid fan was trying to get Jen's attention by saying her name over and over. "Is this true?"
"Absolutely not," Jen said, her eye starting to twitch from the annoying fanboy. "We're just trying to do something for our fans and raise money for a good cause."
"To move on, why don't you ask us about the delicious flavors provided by Mr. Smoothie for Ben and Jen 10 month?" Ben asked.
"Jen! Jen! Jeeeeeennnnnn!"
"WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT?!" Jen finally snapped, shouting at the top of her lungs before panting heavily before instantly calming down with a few deep breaths.
"Um, I'm your biggest fan."
"Please. There is no bigger fan of the Omni-Twins than our little sister Emma. But go on."
"Um, you know, after all the hype, the Alien X smoothie was a real disappointment. It kind of tastes like filler."
"We only ever use Alien X as a last resort anyway," Jen chuckled as she signed the cup and the fanboy walked off.
"The viewers are concerned about the destruction that seems to follow in your wake wherever you may go," Chet reported. "Are you at all concerned about that."
"Being a superhero is a dangerous job," Ben admitted. "We never seek to cause destruction, we can only limit what our enemies do. We can't save everyone."
"Besides," Jen said. "I know we're world famous now, but the idea that we're just magnets for trouble is..."
The Omni-Team then looked out the window and spotted a horde of Forever Knights about to burst into the restaurant with a battering ram.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Ben shouted.
The entire front wall of the Mr. Smoothie caved in and the Knights all aimed their weapons at our heroes as Becky groaned.
"You know, there's a door right there!"
"For the record, this is a total coincidence, Chet," Jen said into the camera before she shot her glowing hand forward and blocked the fans from the Knights with a large forcefield. "You guys are getting a two-for-one special today!"
"You guy actually get to see the Omni-Team in action!" Ben said as he and Jen slammed their cores down and transformed into...
"Spidermonkey!"
'Mother Nature!"
Mother Nature looked almost exactly like Juniperis, only she had pink eyes and her vine dreadlock hair was decorated with quite a few pink flowers.
The fans cheered as their teammates all suited up and faced the Knights with a smirk as the fans all cheered and Spidermonkey smirked with a backflip.
"It's Hero Time!" Huntress said with a roll of her fist as Kevin sighed.
"Give it a rest, guys," Kevin said, absorbing the metal from the counter as Matter Girl smirked.
Mother Nature then tossed a few seeds to the ground nearby that the Forever Knights only cut through with their powerful weaponry as another knight used his laser lance to destroy Jen's forcefield and broke through the counter.
"Huh?" Lucky Girl asked as the Knights walked past the cheering fans and began carrying the smoothie dispensers out.
"Okay, just so we know none of us are hallucinating, the Forever Knights are stealing a smoothie machine, right?"
"Yep."
A knight rifled through a bag of the souvenir Omni-Team cups before he grabbed the manager by the shirt.
"This says Omni-Team flavors. I only see 23 collectible cups!"
The naughty knight then sliced the standee of Ben and Jen in half.
"Hey! We were going to ask the store if we could keep that!" Spidermonkey shouted before leaping forwards and nailed the creature with a kick as Mother Nature shot her hands out, sending a flurry of thorns out to slam the knight into the counter.
"Thank you, thank you," Mother Nature said with a curtsey to the cheering fans as the knights helped each other up.
"Fight them! If we return to our new master without the object of our conquest, it means our lives!"
The knights pulled their swords out, just as Matter Girl and Kevin ran in and started clashing blade to blade as Matter Girl morphed her hand into a mace and slammed them in the head.
Another set of knights blasted laser lances at our heroes, only for Huntress to blast the with a smoke arrow, blinding them and her sister blocked the lasers with a mana wall before sandwiching them with a second wall, causing the miserable knights to groan out in pain.
"No matter!" the lead knight shouted. "We have our prize! Forever Knights... run away!"
"Oh no, you don't!" Mother Nature shouted as she and Spidermonkey started off after the knights, only to be cornered by rabid fans hungry for autographs.
"Look, we appreciate all the attention, but this is really a bad time," the Arachnichimp said.
"Could you guys try to take this a little more seriously?" Gwen asked.
"Can do," Mother Nature said as she slammed her fist against the ground and tons of strong roots burst from the ground and wrapped around the knights.
Spidermonkey bounded over the fans and shot his tail out, furthering the bindings on the knights with his strong webbing.
"That's a wrap!"
The lead knight was not deterred as he pressed a button on his gauntlet and suddenly, the knights were instantly teleported away from the scene with the smoothie machine and cups in tow, prompting even more cheers from the fan...atics.
"Teleport beam?" Ally asked as everyone changed back to normal. "That's a new one."
"Really, Ally?" Becky asked. "That's what got your attention? Not that the Forever Knights burst into the store just to steal a smoothie machine?"
"And the souvenir cups," Jen noted.
"Nobody cares about our cups," Gwen said.
"Uh..." Kevin said, gesturing to the fans who were hounding our heroes as Jen held them back with a mana wall. "So what do we do now?"
"We need intel. Someone smart, totally in the know about what's going on and wired into the alien underground," Ben said.
"We need the best. And I know who the best is," Jen said.
"Oh no," Ally said with a facepalm.
Jen rang the doorbell of the Jones apartment and Jimmy's mother answered the door with a plate of hot chocolate chip cookies in hand.
"Jimmy, your friends are here!" Mrs. Jones called. "Who wants cookies?"
"Yes, please," Jen said, taking a cookie along with everyone else.
"So, the Forever Knights, huh?" Jimmy asked as the Omni-Team gathered in his room, each of them snacking on the cookies. "I thought you guys were going to ask me about the trans-fat conspiracy."
"What?" Ben asked.
"The government wants us to get fat so they can force us to buy new clothes! Maybe in a larger size," Jimmy said.
"That's not our jurisdiction," Becky said. "Maybe another time."
"I also believe that Cartoon Network purposely makes one really bad episode of Sumo Slammers per season to get us to buy more toys."
"Wait," Ben remembered. "I bought a goat action figure!"
"Okay, we just ran out of cookies," Ally groaned. "What's going on with the Forever Knights?"
"Well, I know that they've been acting weird for a few weeks now. Here they are robbing a pizza parlor. And then later, Benny's Burritos."
"Well, they've stolen before," Gwen noted. "What's so weird about that?"
"Here's the funny thing," Jimmy said. "They didn't touch the money. They only stole pizza and burritos."
"Burritos? That's definitely not their style," Kevin said.
"Why can't we just march over to their castle and ask them what's going on?" Becky asked with a shrug.
"Here's the thing, Becky," Jen said. "We know the Forever Knights act in absolute secrecy. To get in contact with one of their leaders would take..."
"James, old friend," one of the knights said over Skype with the screen name foreverduke838. "I'm sorry, but you've caught us at a very bad time."
As he was talking, a tremor rang out throughout the entire room and the books and bookshelves all fell over behind him.
"foreverduke838?" Ally asked, humorously.
"He's awesome at World of Warcraft. We dominate all of Azeroth!"
"Sire, we must flee!"
"The beast attacks! Our battlements crumble around us!"
"James, I must go. Do not-"
That was when the camera feed cut off as the walls crumbled on top of him and destroyed the laptop.
"Whoa..."
"We'll need an address, Jimmy," Ben asked. "You thinking what I'm thinking, sister dear?"
"This time, let's try to counter the Forever Knights with a knight of our own."
"Cool. It's Bring Your Mom to Work Day," Kevin chuckled.
The gang looked over the destroyed castle in the distance with Sandra coming with them, clad in her red and silver knight armor and she crossed her arms with a hate-filled glance at the castle.
"I've been itching to go after these guys for awhile now from your stories, kiddos," Sandra said with a smile. "These guys give what I've dedicated my life to a bad name."
"We know the feeling, Mom" Jen chuckled.
"Well, this is the place alright," Gwen said.
"Was the place," Kevin said.
"I don't know who, but someone's destroying the Forever Knights," Ben said as he and his twin looked at each other, worriedly.
The DX-Mark 10 and Pink Angel drove down the road as Sandra looked to Jen as she sat in the passenger seat with Becky and Ally in the backseat as her brother drove beside her with the communications system on, Gwen in the passenger seat and Kevin in the back.
"I like it better when I drive," Kevin noted.
"Are you sure about this, honey?" Sandra asked, placing a red gauntlet on her daughter's shoulder.
"Sorry, Mom. No one can drive Pink Angel except me."
"Talk to us, Jimmy," Becky said.
"Okay, guys. It turns out, another castle was destroyed last month. They say they were remodeling. As if."
Just after that, Mrs. Jones walked into the room with a kind smile on her face. "Jimmy, are you ready for gymnastics class?"
"I'm not going to gymnastics class! I'm trying to help solve a mystery!"
"Young man, you will do a healthy physical activity at least four days a week or no computer. Do you understand?"
"Mom!"
Mrs. Jones immediately went to the monitor and turned it off.
"Well, there goes our viable source of information," Ally said.
"I'll get him back."
"Don't bother," Ben said as he and Jen pulled over. "We're here."
All seven heroes then ducked into the bushes and looked up to see the castle of the Forever Knights with the searchlights on full and tons of sentries out, lances at the ready as Sandra chuckled and drew her weapons from her back sheath with a crack of her neck.
"Looks like stealth is out," Becky said, changing into Huntress as the rest suited up as well.
"That was never our strong suit anyway," Jen said as she and Ben slammed the Ultimatrix cores down and transformed into...
"Jetray!"
"Kung Fang!"
The two then took to the sky, attracting the attention of the spotlights with a grunt as they all blasted their laser lances at them, causing them to avoid the blasts, twirling around each other.
On the ground, their teammates nodded as they ran forwards as Lucky Girl fired a few mana bolts and Huntress fired a few arrows at the lances of the knights, disarming them and, just as the Levin siblings were about to rush forwards, they were suddenly stopped in their tracks by Sandra as she held her armored hand in front of them.
"Stand aside. Time to show these guys what being a knight is all about."
The knights drew their swords as Sandra drew her own blade and gave out a mighty battle cry as she rushed forwards and danced around their blades, blocking pretty much everything with her strong armor and powerful shield before she gave out a few wicked swipes with her own sword, catching the Forever Knights by surprise as she swept one off its feet and slammed it in the face with her shield. Just as the knight behind her was about to cut her head off, she spun around and lammed the knight in the face with the butt of her sword and then gave a mighty shout as she bashed him in the chest with her shield and then gave a slash of her sword, sending them both into the moat as she banged her shield with a shout.
"Fall before the flag of Cinnibar!" Sandra called in victory.
Sandra felt the drawbridge going up beneath her as the Knights began bringing it up, only for the rest of the team to leap up behind her and lid down into the castle before Kevin broke the bridge from its hinges and tossed it at the Forever Knights as the twins flew in and Kung Fang and her mother sliced the doors open one after another with their swords.
They continued through the castle, only to be met by a squadron of Knights with their lances trained on our heroes as a stoic Sandra held her shield in front of her as a familiar voice rang out.
"Guys!"
"Huh?" Jetray asked as they witnessed none other than Argit, decked in royal clothing, being hoisted to them on a rather comfy couch.
"Argit?" Kevin asked.
"These are my friends... and their mom," Argit said, surprised at seeing Sandra wit the group and seeing her kick all kinds of butt. "Go clean my room. It's a pigsty in there."
"More like a rat pen," Huntress whispered to Kung Fang as the Forever Knights departed.
"Great to see you guys. Like the new digs?"
"Okay, I hate to say this twice in one day, but are you guys seeing-"
"Yes. Yes we are," Jetray said.
Argit snapped his fingers and some knights came and lifted the seat, bringing it closer to the Omni-Team.
"So, Mrs. Tennyson? You're a knight?"
"I'm a true knight," Sandra said. "These are nothing more than posers."
"Alright, Argit. What's the scam this time?" Matter Girl asked.
"Scam? Oh, you wound me. I'm deeply hurt thinking an old friend like you would think so badly of me, especially after I've gone through the trouble of collecting the money I owe you."
Argit snapped his fingers again and a knight came in and brought a box filled with cash to them.
"Hello, beautiful," Kevin said, taking the cash.
"Kevin!" Everyone shouted.
"Right. There's got to be a catch," Kevin said as he pushed the money back. "Look, Argit. You know I love money more than anything in the world-"
"Excuse me?" Lucky Girl asked, crossing he arms.
"Almost anything in the world. But you'd better tell us what's really going on here!"
Kevin absorbed the aggregate stone on the floor and grabbed Argit by his robe.
"You don't want to take that approach with me."
"And why should we not?" Huntress asked, aiming an arrow at him. "You're overdue for a beating."
That was when a small earthquake started trembling around the group.
And that was when a large yellow jackhammer-shaped arm reached up from the ground and grabbed Kevin, prompting the Omni-Team gasped when they saw Andreas approach with a shout.
"Kevin, meet my new best buddy, Andreas."
Kevin grunted as he slammed the metal armadillo alien, only for him to vibrate his arm rapidly, shaking Kevin around like a ragdoll.
"A little help here, guys?"
"Why don't you get your money to help you?" Lucky Girl asked.
"Okay, lets stop this," Kung Fang shouted as she and her brother swooped in, only for Andreas to grab her wing and slammed her into Jetray, causing them both to slam into the wall and everyone felt the walls of the castle shake.
"Ben! Jen! My babies!" Sandra shouted as she walked over to them as she helped the twins to their feet.
Lucky Girl brought up a forcefield around her, Huntress and Matter Girl, only for Andreas to punch through it.
"Stop it! You're scaring him," Argit asked.
"We're scaring him?!" Jetray shouted.
"Easy, big guy. It's okay. They're good friends of us."
"Friends?" Andreas asked, dropping Kevin.
"Yes. Friends. No one's going to hurt you. It's okay."
"You okay, Kevin?" Kung Fang asked.
"I feel like I was in a paint mixer."
The rumbling in the castle suddenly stopped as Argit smiled as the twins transformed back.
"I found Andreas a few weeks ago. Poor thing didn't know which way was up. Now we're best buds."
"Argit is Andreas' friend," Andreas said, giving Argit a high-five.
"Andreas moves through rock like we move through air. And he can make earthquakes."
Ben and Jen only nodded as the Ultimatrixes flashed out a blast of yellow light and moved up and down Andreas and Omni and Trixie beeped in confirmation.
"Uncatalogued DNA Acquired," Omni and Trixie chimed out. "Talpaedan form now available for transformation."
"Ben and Jen are friends too, Andreas," Argit said.
"Not if you're doing what we think you're doing," Ben noted.
"And what's that, smart guy?"
"Using Andreas' powers to make the Forever Knights work for you," Jen said. "That's why they were stealing all that junk food and why all those castles were destroyed."
"Making them? No,' Argit said, shaking his finger. "They simply chose to work for me so nothing bad happens to nice castles. I'm providing a service."
"Bullshit!" Lucky Girl shouted. "This is totally wrong! You're using poor Andreas!"
"You have reached your all time low," Huntress agreed.
"He can leave whenever he wants. I couldn't stop him if I tried. But he likes it here with me."
"You're a dirtbag," Kevin said. "Just because someone's dumb enough to trust you-"
"Do you mean Andreas or you, Kevin?"
"You know what a concrete fist tastes like?"
Kevin moved in to pound Argit, only for Andreas to move in front of him.
"Face it, Kev. No one can match up to my big old buddy here- not the Knights, not you, not anyone. Now, how about a smoothie for the road? That's a hint. I'm telling you to get out of my castle!"
"We're not stupid, Argit!" Jen said. "We can pick up hints."
That was when the castle doors immediately burst back open and a rather tough looking knight with a black bowl cut walked in with a stern glance at the alien porcupine.
"Hey? What's your damage, Lunkhead? Nobody barges into my castle!"
"Your castle?! So, this is your castle, is it?"
"It sure is. Who the heck are you?"
"I am Sir Dagonet."
At that name, the Forever Knights all murmured amongst themselves as Argit glared.
"What's your angle?"
"My angle? You mistake me, vermin." Dagonet drew his sword from his sheath and pointed it at Argit.
"Hey, big guy, take it easy. Let's not get hasty."
"I, Sir Dagonet, am here to restore the honor of the Forever Knights, which you have sullied with your alien filth!"
"The last thing you want to do is sully the honor of a knight," Sandra murmured to her children, who nodded.
"I bring you our justice and righteous anger. You will be thrown in chains and taken to the Forever King's dungeon for your inquisition!"
Andreas groaned out as Argit gripped his scepter.
"So, bottom line is you want me to stop being king of this castle and instead go live in a dungeon?"
"I still think that's too good for him," Ben whispered.
"Yeah, I'm gonna have to say 'no thanks.' See, all these knights in here? They work for me now. Now you come in here and try to tell me what to do? I say 'You and what army?'"
"Knights!" Dagonet commanded, raising his sword and the Knights all turned their weapons on Argit, Andreas and the Omni-Team.
"That army," Jen said, enveloping her hands in mana.
Everyone turned to Argit, who looked on at the team and then at a groaning Andreas as he threw his hands up and ran over to Dagonet.
"I'm saved!"
"What?" Dagonet asked as Matter Girl gave out a wicked facepalm.
"These guys are controlling a monster to take over your territory and they made me the patsy! Putting me on the throne and forcing me to wear this ridiculously soft and luxurious robe to make it look like I'm the one in charge!"
"We had nothing to do with this, you dirty rat!" Lucky Girl shouted.
"If you think that any of these guys here are stupid enough to believe that-"
Matter Girl was cut off when Argit fired tons of quills at the Omni-Team and Andreas, knocking them all out as they collapsed to the ground.
"I hope you didn't mind my act," Argit said, taking off the robe and crown and presenting them to Dagonet. "I had to be rude to you in front of the, you know, the masterminds! But I was s-s-so happy to see you striding in!"
"Were you?" Dagonet asked with a sly smirk.
"I can't believe they sent you, Sir Dagonet, the greatest warrior who ever lived! I totally knew who you were. I mean, who doesn't?"
Five minutes later, Argit was tossed into the cell with the Omni-Team as it was then locked.
"I rest my case," Matter Girl said, crossing her arms.
"This is messed up! I'm the victim here!"
Though I find you incredibly loathsome and I would gladly slay you if I came upon you in the woods, you and your compatriots shall have your day in front of the High Inquisitor."
"But wait. What's gonna happen with Andreas?" Argit asked.
"The monster? We're Forever Knights. We slay monsters!"
"You can't do that to my meal ticket- I mean, my friend."
"Do any of your schemes ever work, dude?" Ben asked as we cue to the Omni-Team standing by the wall as Sandra glowered at the porcupine alien.
"So this is the dirty rat you two told me about?" Sandra asked.
"Unfortunately," Jen said, rubbing her neck.
"Hello! Guys, my scheme saved your lives!" Argit exclaimed. "If the seven of you had burst into action when Knighty McKnighterson came in, we'd all be dead."
"I think I still have one of your quills in my butt," Kevin said, picking at his rear and taking out a quill.
"Oh, I'm sorry your money didn't protect you, bro," Lucky Girl scoffed.
"Is she ever gonna drop that?"
"You have a better chance of winning the lottery," Huntress said.
That was when Kevin was suddenly hit in the head with a metal mug.
"Hey, guys. Why don't you stop arguing and get us out of here?" Argit asked. "You guys don't want to be inquisitioned, do you?"
"How is it our problem?" Matter Girl asked. "You're the one who destroyed all their castles."
"True, but here's the thing," Argit began. "The Forever Knights hate anything alien. And that includes all of you. After they kill Andreas, we're next."
"They're doing what?!" Jen asked, everyone's eyes as wide as saucers.
"Yeah. Sir Dagonet said they're going to execute him summarily and that's the worst kind! We have to save him! Please, guys! He's my best friend... and possibly my only one!"
"No one's killing anyone," Ben said as he and Jen readied their Ultimatrixes.
A flash of green and pink light emitted from the cell and the Knight looked to see Ben as Goop and Jen as Sludgeshifter ooze through the cell door and tackled him before reforming.
Matter Girl absorbed the concrete from the wall and bent the bars of the cell door before they broke, freeing the Omni-Team and Argit.
"After you, milady," Kevin bowed as Lucky Girl stepped through the door.
"You're not gonna hold the door for your money?"
Goop and Sludgeshifter then just pressed their cores and morphed back to human form, clad in their Omni-Suits.
"Come on, guys," Ben said as everyone took off into a run down the halls.
"Argit," Andreas groaned, head and hands in medieval shackles.
"In accordance with Forever Knight law," Sir Dagonet began, reading from a scroll. "Any alien who sets foot, claw or pseudopod upon our planet, shall be executed, regardless of species. The charges are as follows..."
The camera panned to the Omni-Team readying their weapons/powers.
"Whoa," Jen said. "For once in his life, Argit wasn't lying. They're planning to kill Andreas."
"Well, we've got other plans," Huntress said, knocking an arrow, not noticing as Argit slipped away... until Sandra stepped on his tail, grabbed his jacket and pulled her to the team.
"And where do you think you're going?" Sandra asked.
"I was... scouting for an escape route, taking point. I mean, that's the most dangerous position, you know?"
Ben shook his head as he generated a green energy blade from his armor's hand and pointed it at Argit's throat.
"Look, Andreas had a great run but no one lives forever. And we'll always remember him in our hearts."
Matter Girl then shouted out as she grabbed Argit's throat and held it up in the air with her hand coated in metal and formed into a mace.
"You're coming with us and you can stay on point, you dirty rat!"
She then tossed Argit into the air and slammed him with her mace hand, sending him flying right into the scene, landing on top of a table filled with cash.
"The space vermin," Dagonet acknowledged.
"Hi, guys! Remember all the fun we had with the smoothie machine and the burritos and everything? I mean, you wouldn't shoot me, right?"
That was when the flash of the Ultimatrixes shined out and Ben and Jen jumped into the scene as...
"Swampfire!"
"Lumine! Not gonna happen, boys!"
The twins blasted the knights with flame bursts and powerful slashes of the angel alien's light blades.
Dagonet pushed past his soldiers and ran for the sonic disruptor device and moved it to attack the twins, only for Lucky Girl to block it with a force field and Sandra rushed in and slashed the weapon in two with her sword before blocking any slashes that came near her with her shield.
Kevin absorbed the metal from the shackles before he used his super strength to break them, freeing Andreas... only to be wrapped in a hug by the Andromeda alien.
"You're nice. Andreas sorry for shaking you all."
"It's no big deal," Kevin said with a shrug.
Dagonet grabbed his laser lance and fired on our heroes with the powerful lasers before he noticed Kevin and Argit leading Andreas away from the scene.
"This way, big fella!"
"Justice shall be carried out!" Dagonet shouted as he blasted Andreas with the laser lance, but it barely phased him due to his thick armory hide.
"No!" Argit shouted. "Scaring him is a bad idea!"
Dagonet only blasted Kevin, who Argit hid behind with a yelp.
"And shooting me is a worse idea!"
Huntress then leaped in and tripped Dagonet with her spear with a loud battle cry.
Lucky Girl then blasted him with mana strikes, causing him to land on his hands and flip back up as Sandra gave out a war cry and ran in, blocking every blow with her powerful shield, which she bashed him in the face in.
She then shouted out and sliced the laser lance in two with her sword as she nodded.
"You are not worthy of that armor!" Sandra shouted. "Your kind makes a mockery out of what I've dedicated my life to!"
She then shouted out and slashed him with her sword and bashed him with her shield several times, sending him sprawling with a groan.
He then looked to the sonic disruption device and smiled.
"Ruined. But there's still a way to use it to slay the beast."
Dagonet removed the base of the weapon and then fired it up to full power, sending powerful sonic waves out through the whole castle.
"He's insane! He has that thing set to self-destruct!" Kevin shouted.
"We gotta get out of here!" Matter Girl screamed as the gang turned to Andreas, who's jackhammer arms were vibrating at a powerful frequency, shaking the building even more.
"He's scared," Lucky Girl noticed. "Argit, how do you stop him?"
"Stop him? I mean, I just let him go until he knocks the building down. Then I give him a burrito."
"Ugh," Huntress groaned. "You are so useless, Argit!"
"Knights, to me!" Dagonet shouted and all the knights stopped fighting the twins and ran away, clearing out of the castle. "There's no escape for the guilty. The sentence will be carried out for all of you!"
He then jammed the sonic weapon into the ground, sending a powerful shockwave throughout the entire castle before he and the knights teleported away.
"You guys go," Swampfire ordered. "I'll wrap up the cannon in vines to muffle the explosion."
"But what about you?" Sandra asked her only son.
"It won't make a difference anyway," Kevin said. "The discharge from the cannon's Ar-9 Power Cell is gonna be powerful enough to take out five square miles. None of us would survive."
Argit's eyes widened as he pat his hand on Andreas' arm. "I'll bet Andreas here can absorb the whole thing."
"No way!" Lucky Girl protested.
"He's a big boy, Gwen. Let him decide for me. Andreas, can you hold that bomb real tight? Can you suck up the explosion?"
"Argit save Andreas. Now Andreas save Argit and new friends!"
"Ben, Jen, we can't let him do that," Huntress said to the twins.
"But we can't let everyone for five square miles get be killed either," Lumine said, arms crossed. "It's an easy choice."
Andreas picked up the sonic bomb and started vibrating his entire body with massive intensity, sinking into the ground. He shot everybody a glance before he completely drilled down into the ground.
"Run!" Matter Girl shouted as everyone ran through a hole in the castle wall as it crumbled all around them.
They didn't get far as the latest Forever Castle instantly caved in and fell to the ground, reduced to rubble.
Swampfire burst out of the ground and reformed his plantlike body in an instant as Lucky Girl and Lumine levitated the rest of the team out with forcefields made of mana and light before the twins transformed back.
The Omni-Team with the addition of Sandra all glowered at Argit as he crawled out of the rubble.
"O-Oh no! I've lost everything!" Argit shouted. "Do any of you know how much money I had in there?"
Kevin immediately decked him in the face as Ally ran in and leaped up, giving him a piledriver to the chest.
"Andreas trusted you!" Ally screamed as Becky ran in and aimed an arrow straight at his throat. "He loved you!"
"And what did you do? You used him!" she said, tears in her eyes. "You used his feelings for you and now he's gone! Forever!"
"You know, sometimes I don't get you guys!"
"No," Lucky Girl sighed. "You wouldn't. That would require a heart, which is something you clearly don't have."
"Now get out!" Jen shouted, causing Argit to run away. "Get the fuck out of my sight and never come back!"
"Jen!" Sandra seemingly scolded before she placed a hand on her eldest daughter's shoulder. "Calm down. He's not worth another breath."
"Okay, Mom," Jen sighed, taking deep breaths as everyone looked at the rubble of the castle.
"Andreas set up countervibrations that absorbed most of the blast. He saved us."
"No," Ben said. "He saved everyone."
A bit later once everyone had gone home, a stoic Aggregor walked up to the destroyed castle and scanned the rubble with a radar. He used his staff to levitate the rubble away and revealed a critically injured Andreas with black fluid leaking from almost every crevice.
"It hurts."
"I'll make you all better."
Aggregor's ship suddenly appeared in the air and the rogue Osmosian teleported himself and Andreas in it before placing Andreas in a pod next to P'andor with the other seven recaptured Andromeda aliens glaring at Aggregor through the glass.
"Eight down and two to go. Then, the real fun begins."
