"Okay," Ally said as the team of nine stood at the Door to Anywhere and some paced the floor. "Ben, Jen, you're the leaders. What's the plan?"
"I'm thinking," Ben said.
"We are in trouble," Kevin said as Scarlett lit a small flame in her palm and tossed it at Kevin, causing him to jump away from it.
"Okay, let's work through this," Gwen said. "We have two pieces of the Map of Infinity and Aggregor has one."
"And the reason we got two pieces is because we learned from our mistakes and suspected we were doing his dirty work for him. Maybe we can learn from what he's doing too."
"Learn something?" Azmuth's voice called as everyone looked to see him projected from the Ultimatrixes. "I only expect to live another three thousand years. I don't have time to wait for you lot to learn something!"
"Azmuth," Scarlett reported. "We have a bit of good news."
"Yes, I know. You've managed to collect two pieces of the Map of Infinity. But you still failed to stop Aggregor from collecting one of the pieces. If Aggregor gets that last piece, he will stop at nothing to get the last two from you and he will go to the Forge of Creation."
"We know," Becky said. "And we know what his plan is once he gets there. We will not let that happen."
"Come on, Azmuth. That's not important," Emma said.
"It's absolutely important that-"
"But yelling at us and telling us how stupid we are isn't going to get us any closer to the final piece of the map," Jen said. "So it's not important right now."
"Jen Tennyson, you are... absolutely correct," Azmuth relented.
"She is?" Kevin asked.
"Of course she is," Becky said.
"Where do we find Aggregor?" Ben asked.
"Okay. The last piece of the map is in a location designed to protect it from all those who are unworthy: the Perplexahedron," Azmuth explained, showing a diagram of a large rotating cube. "I'm sending you there now. You cannot fail the universe again, Ben and Jen Tennyson."
"No pressure," Ben said before turning to Hope. "Hope, you head back to the Plumbers' base. We need to be ready and Bellwood could use the protection."
"You better believe it," Hope said as she was enveloped in magenta smoke and teleported away.
Instantly afterwards, the entire team found themselves in the Rust Bucket III.
"Now that's the way to travel," Kevin said as Emma nodded with a cute smile.
"Azmuth just teleported us to another galaxy," Gwen realized.
"Where's the thing we're supposed to protect?" Jen asked as everyone looked out the window.
"The Perplexahedron?" Scarlett asked. "Uh, I don't think finding it is going to be a problem."
Everyone's eyes widened and their jaws just dropped once they saw a massive cube that was made up of millions and millions of smaller cubes floating in the void of space and the twins looked to each other nervously.
"That's the Perplexahedron?!" Jen asked.
"That can't be right. It's massive!"
"How are we supposed to know what to do next?" Becky asked.
"I have no idea where to even begin," Ben said and looked down on the radar to see a red blip heading towards the Perplexahedron and everyone looked out the window to see Aggregor approaching, a determined look plastered on his face. "Maybe we should ask him?"
"Hold on," Kevin said as he flew the ship towards Aggregor and got a lock on with the targeting system.
The Rust Bucket III sent out tons of missiles at Aggregor, but he simply blocked all of them with a forcefield of light.
"I'm throwing everything this thing's got at him, but he's out of range!" Kevin said.
"And he's pulling away," Gwen said. "He's too fast for us!"
"Keep him close," Ben said as he and Jen stood up. "If Azmuth's right, the Perplexahedron should slow him down.
Indeed, several red squares lit up on the planetary cube and blasted a powerful laser at Aggregor, who generated a force field to block it.
"You cannot deny me! I hold one quarter of the map! Behold!"
Aggregor revealed his map piece that a blue light from the Perplexahedron scanned before an opening popped up in the cube, letting Aggregor inside.
"Two can play at your game, Aggregor," Scarlett said as she presesd a Plumbers' suit to her chest and she was coated in the space suit as she leaped out before climbing on top of the spaceship. "We hold half of the map! Observe!"
Scarlett focused as the two combined pieces of the Map of Infinity the team had recovered appeared in her hand as the blue light shined out again to scan it.
"You are worthy," a voice in Scarlett's head sounded out as the team smirked and Scarlett climbed back into the ship and removed the suit.
As another door opened, Kevin flew the Rust Bucket III into it before it emerged in a large room made up entirely of small white cubes, some forming forms of various sizes.
"Any landing you can walk away from, am I right?" Kevin asked.
Emma felt her face turn green as she conjured a bag made of mana and lost her lunch right into it.
"Maybe we should set the bar slightly higher than that," Becky suggested.
As the team exited the ship, they all took in their surroundings.
"Hey, guys? Maybe I've seen too many movies, but shouldn't there be some sort of welcoming committee for those who the Perplexahedron found worthy to enter?" Ally asked.
"Maybe Aggregor took care of them?" Jen said.
"Should he have needed to? I mean, the place practically let both of us in since we both had pieces of the map," Gwen said.
"So which way did he go?" Emma asked.
"I'm thinking here," Ben said, gesturing to a large hole. "It's the only opening in the landing bay."
As the team approached, Jen focused her mind before shaking her head.
"I can't get a good read on Aggregor. This place is way too massive. He could be anywhere."
"If your mana radar is on the fritz, I want to be ready for anything," Kevin said as he absorbed the floor's material.
"So... how do we open it?" Becky asked.
The team simply approached and the door opened on its own.
"Well... that's handy."
As they entered the room in question, they were met by tons and tons of doors.
"Great. A lot of doors," Ben said.
Gwen nodded and focused her mana to find Aggregor.
"Nothing. Sorry."
"Maybe we should split up," Jen suggested. "That way, we can cover terrain quicker."
"But if we do split up, then Aggregor will just be able to pick us off one by one when he comes across us," Emma pointed out. "Besides, what about me? We all know that I'm not strong enough to take on Aggregor by myself."
"You're right, sis," Ben said. "Let's just stick together if we can."
Indeed, the team entered another doorway and then found themselves walking up a vertical wall, where what should have been the floor was beneath them.
"Artificial gravity," Scarlett realized.
"How do you know?" Ally asked.
"Just call it a hunch."
The team walked up the wall to find another door and then found themselves walking on the ceiling of what seemed to be the same room.
"You ever get the feeling that the exact same thing has happened to you before?" Kevin asked.
"Deja vu," Becky said.
"Gesundheit."
The team walked down the opposite wall as they all bowed their heads.
"We're getting nowhere," Ben said. "Maybe we should head back to the ship and see if we can sense Aggregor with our sensors."
"Roger that," Kevin said as everyone walked down the wall again and re-entered where they came from... and were met with a most unwelcome surprise.
"Wait a minute," Jen said with wide eyes. "This was definitely the door to the hanger."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course she is," Emma said. "When it comes to this kind of stuff, Ben and Jen are always sure."
"So what? The rooms in this place are moving?" Ally asked. "Okay, now we're definitely lost."
"I'm telling you, the hangar was right there," Ben said. "Emma, leave some bread crumbs."
"Good idea," Emma said as she held her glowing hand down and dotted the path they went with mana scorch marks that stained the ground until they went into another room.
"Okay," Jen said. "Now take a look back the way we came."
"What? Why?" Gwen asked.
"Humor us," Ben said.
A reluctant Becky went through the door again and found that the scorch marks on the floor were gone.
"That's... weird."
"But we just came out of there!' Becky said.
"You think that's weird? Take a look at this," Ally said, looking at another door and saw the scorch marks Emma left coming from another door.
"Okay, how is that even possible?!" Emma asked as they entered another room.
"Kevin got it right before," Jen realized. "The rooms are moving."
"It's a maze that's constantly changing its own structure," Scarlett nodded. "There's no way to predict where we're going to end up next."
"How are we supposed to find Aggregor in a place like this?" Kevin asked.
"Aggregor? What about getting out of here, much less getting that last piece of the map?" Gwen asked.
"We keep moving," Ben said. "That's the only thing we can do."
And that was when all of the doors suddenly closed and sealed themselves.
"Correction. All we could do," Jen said. "The door's locked."
"Ours too," Gwen said. "I bet they're all locked."
"See if I care," Kevin said as he morphed his hand into a mace and rushed forwards to smack the door, only for it to clang loudly and the lines dotting it glowed cyan.
"Don't make this thing mad, Kevin," Emma begged. "It's not gonna turn out right."
A square popped out of the wall and started blasting at the team as they all dodged or blocked it.
"You think it would matter if I apologized?"
Emma quickly formed a forcefield that shattered as soon as the laser hit it.
"Lasers call for Chromastone!" Ben said as he slammed the core down and transformed into...
"Humungousaur! ...Omni, if you're gonna give me the wrong guy all the time, why do you even have a dial?"
"Hey, it's not my fault you two scramble our codes every time you slam us down," Omni said.
"Guys, we should get out of here," Becky said. "If the room is booby trapped."
"Good idea," Scarlett said as they all ran around and Humungousaur slammed against the other wall, which also began to glow cyan.
"Oh, that's not good," Jen said.
Three more lasers popped out of the walls and started firing in streams at all eight heroes as they all stood back to back.
"It had to be Humungousaur..."
"It's getting a little cozy in here, guys," Ally said.
Some lasers shot out again and hit Jen in the shoulder.
"Argh! Tell me about it!"
Thinking quickly, Emma formed a small shield in front of her brother just as a laser blasted out. The laser deflected off the shield and blasted into the wall, leaving behind a small hole.
"Maybe we have a chance after all," Humungousaur said, leaning down to Emma. "Your shield deflected that laser, sis."
"Just before it busted through," Kevin noted.
"No, I think they're right," Gwen said as she stood up. "Thracius!"
A large crystal shield that formed all kinds of angles appeared and the lasers hit the shield and started hitting the walls and eventually all four lasers blew themselves up.
As Gwen dropped the shield, Scarlett ran into the laser lines that formed on the walls and gave a strong jump kick that caused the wall to cave in as the team entered another room.
"Don't tell me. Another room, another trap?" Becky asked nervously.
"Let's just keep moving," Humungousaur said as he walked forwards and pressed his hand on the wall.
Almost immediately afterwards, a large fist shot out and socked him in the face, sending him back to the ground. A large hulking construct emerged from the wall.
"Yes! I knew it!" Becky cheered.
"This makes you happy?!" Jen asked as she flipped up and transformed into...
"Heartbreaker!" the darkness alien shouted as she flew ahead and morphed her hands into large shadow claws and gave out a flurry of wicked slashes that decimated the guardian in front of her.
Kevin morphed his hands into maces and smashed the figure in the head with everything he had in him before giving a spin kick that sent the figure sprawling to the ground. The figure stumbled up to Humungousaur, who simply lifted him up and ripped him in half.
"You're right, Becky. I do feel better."
The figures ran into the room and the twins transformed back as they ran into the next room before the floor opened up and the eight heroes all leaped down into the room below them.
"Anything?" Gwen asked.
"Nothing yet," Scarlett said. "And that's precisely why we're nervous."
And as she said that, two large fans popped up in the walls on either side.
"That make you feel better?" Ally asked.
"Not at all."
The fans started spinning rapidly and everyone quickly grabbed onto the lines on the floor, hanging on for dear life as Scarlett and Becky stabbed their daggers into the ground as Scarlett grabbed Emma with her free hand.
"Wind tunnel!" Ben shouted.
Jen and Gwen began to struggle as Scarlett nodded.
"Hang on, sis!" Ben said, taking Jen's hand, which began to peel away.
"We've got to take out those blades!" Jen shouted.
"Come on!" Ben shouted, straining.
Unfortunately, Jen and Ben finally let go and Scarlett quickly withdrew her dagger as she and Emma followed the two Anodite hybrids into the fan, which quickly lifted to reveal an opening to another room that closed behind them and the fan stopped.
Ben, Kevin, Becky and Ally all nodded to each other as they let go, letting the force of the opposite fan carry them into another room that opened on the side of the fan.
"Gwen! Jen!" Kevin shouted.
"Ugh," Gwen groaned as she, Jen, Emma and Scarlett all stood up in their room.
"Kevin?" Gwen asked.
"Ben?" Emma asked.
And soon enough, a section of the wall opened up to reveal two small laser turrets that blasted out at the four mages as Emma quickly blocked it with a shield and then tossed two discs out that instantly destroyed the lasers.
"You're getting good at this, sis," Jen said.
"I learned from the best."
And that was when the white guardian from before dropped down into the room and the four powerful women quickly gave a cartwheel away as Jen placed her hands against the ground, creating a bright magenta mass that acted like liquid as it bubbled up beneath the white guardian as Jen glared.
"Tur Bo!"
The guardian spun around rapidly before it exploded in a burst of electricity.
Having passed the test, Jen, Gwen, Emma and Scarlett walked forwards into the next room. Unfortunately, they were met face to face with...
"Aggregor," Jen realized as she balled her fists at her hated enemy as Scarlett quickly drew her katana.
"I'm assuming you have a plan?" Becky asked as she noticed the entire room was filling with water and everyone quickly activated their suits' armors.
"As long as the Ultimatrix works, I do," Ben said.
"So no plan then?" Ally asked.
"Let's try an old classic again!" Ben said as he softly hit the Ultimatrix core and transformed into...
"Ripjaws!" the Piscciss Volann shouted as he swam forwards and tried to pry a section open as Becky used her spear to help him. Eventually, the wall popped off and our heroes were whisked away into another room as the water all drained away and Ripjaws morphed back into Ben.
"We still don't know where the girls are," Kevin said as everyone stood up and deactivated their armor.
"Don't worry. they can all take care of themselves," Ben said.
"I know. That's part of why I love Gwen. It doesn't mean I don't want to take care of her anyway."
"Hey, Scarlett, Jen and Emma are all really powerful in their own right," Becky said. "We've got the might, they've got the magic."
"You know, Kevin. Sometimes it's hard to believe you're that same little kid who tried to kill us every other week," Ally said as the group walked into another room.
"Yeah, well you probably had that coming."
"We're serious, Kevin," Ben said. "You used to be archenemies with me and Jen. Now you're like the big brother we never had."
"I remember," Kevin said. "I tried to kill you before you made me all nauseous with all the sincerity."
"Yeah, okay," Ben said as Becky and Ally stepped back. "There's definitely a reason why guys don't talk about this... unless you want to talk about this."
"Oooh," Becky and Ally said as they glanced at each other.
"Fine," Kevin sighed. "I like the Kevin that Gwen sees when she looks at me. And I like that the five of you gave me a second chance even after I messed up all those other ones."
"Well, you are my brother, after all," Ally said.
"I guess I'm saying that I owe you for changing my life."
"Thanks for sharing that with us, Kevin," Ben said sincerely.
"But what's Gwen gonna think when she hears about-" Becky began.
"This conversation never happened."
Two pumps suddenly shot up from the ground and started spewing a green liquid that sizzled upwards.
"More water?" Ben asked.
"I wish and you wish! That's acid!"
Everyone stepped back to avoid the acid as it filled in the gaps in the floor.
"It's burning the floor! And that's what your armor's made of!" Ally told Kevin.
"Sorry for what I'm about to do, guys!" Ben said as he transformed into...
"Spidermonkey!" the Arachnichimp shouted as he shot his tail out and webbed Kevin, Ally and Becky to the walls... upside down.
"Well, this is a weird way of saving our lives," Becky said as Arachnichimp jumped to the walls as he gathered the trio in a heap before hefting them over his shoulder.
Looking up, an opening popped up in the ceiling and Spidermonkey crawled through it, taking his allies with him.
"Jen Tennyson and her female family?" Aggregor asked, simply walking past them. "You're not even worth the bother when I am closer than I've ever been to the ultimate victory."
"You just made the biggest mistake of your life... and the last," Jen said through gritted teeth as Aggregor departed.
"Get back here!" Scarlett shouted as the four warriors ran through the door after Aggregor.
Inside, two giant walls lowered down and started closing in on the four warriors.
Aggregor simply fired two radioactive beams from his eyes that destroyed the walls and he continued moving on.
"Hey!" Gwen shouted as she and the others followed Aggregor into another room that had a massive amount of snow falling. "We're talking to you!"
"But I have no interest in anything you might say."
Scarlett shouted out before her body glowed in a red aura as her size increased to about twenty feet and she picked Aggregor up in her grasp as she glared at him.
"You amuse me less and less," Aggregor said as he gave a jackhammer stab to Scarlett's large hand and she shouted out in pain as she let him go and shrank back to normal as Scarlett summoned her Keyblade and sent a Blizzaga out at him, which he quickly glanced off.
"I have a map to find. And you four have problems of your own."
Aggregor sent out a blast of water that soaked the four heroes as they shouted out and the ice crept up their bodies.
"AGGREGOR!" Jen shouted just as her body was completely frozen.
Emma only glanced out hatefully and looked out as her body completely froze and Scarlett winced as the Keyblade fell to the floor.
A little bit later, the ice around the four were instnatly melted and they looked up to see Ben as Heatblast as he melted the ice around all of them.
"Gwen!" Kevin shouted as Gwen ran up and hugged him and then Becky. "When we found you guys in all that ice..."
"Gwen, he's trying to say he really likes you," Becky said.
"I already knew that," Gwen said before giving Kevin a long kiss on the lips.
"Hey, can you two get your own room for that?" Jen asked. "This whole place is chock full of them."
"How did you find us?" Emma asked, wringing the water out of her hair.
"To be honest, it was absolute blind luck," Ally said.
"Hey, that's my thing," Gwen said.
"Which is the same way we found Aggregor," Scarlett said as Ben transformed back. "Finding him again might be next to impossible when we're all wandering around this humungous maze."
"I don't think so," Ben said. "There seems to be a pattern."
"Okay. What is it?" Kevin asked.
"It's the guard things," Jen realized.
"What about them?" Becky asked. "We kicked their butts easy."
"That's not the point," Ben said. "This place lets us go wherever we want. The doors even open for us."
"Unless they need to be closed for the traps to work," Gwen said.
"That's what threw us," Jen nodded. "...At first. But then, Ben and I realized why would a room with a death trap need guards?"
"Huh?" Emma asked, confused.
"The guards only appear when you're going where you're not allowed to be," Ben said.
"Towards the map," Scarlett nodded. "Okay, I get it. Let's just ignore all the doors that open for us and only go through when the guards appear."
"You guys find them, we'll flatten them," Becky said.
A guard's severed head fell to the ground as Scarlett smirked and sheathed her sword.
"I take it back," Kevin said. "I do love solving puzzles."
Kevin stepped back as Gwen coughed from the soot covering her before she shook it off.
"Oh come on! Three fire rooms in a row?"
"Gwen, a while back, you girls were complaining about it being too cold," Ben said.
"That's when we were frozen in..."Gwen began before her eyes shot to her sister's shoulder. "Becky, you got a deadly robot spider on your shoulder."
"Gah!" Becky shouted before she shook the spider off before crushing it under her boot. "Seriously?! Another one?! The spider room was ten rooms ago!"
As they entered the next room, they appeared on the top of the wall as Jen created a series of mana platforms and the team carefully treaded forwards.
"Nothing in here," Ally said.
Emma nervously looked down to see a guard pop up from the floor below them in a vertical position. "Ally!"
"On it!" Ally shouted as she absorbed the metal from Scarlett's sword before leaping down and enlarged her fists, enduring the guard's energy blasts and tackling the guard into the next room.
Another guard popped up from the wall behind her and attempted to catch her by surprise, only to be nailed with a boxing glove arrow as Becky leaped in and stabbed it in the head with her spear before she unsheathed her machete and chopped the head off.
Ally looked up and saw the rest of the team appear overhead and he smiled and bowed to her teammates.
"After you."
And with that, the team finally entered the center of the Perplexahedron and were met with absolutely no traps or guards... but an old male Chimera Sui Gerenis who sat in a chair, waiting for someone to enter.
"I am Sentinel, keeper of the final piece of the Map of Infinity. Welcome, Ben and Jen Tennyson. And the Scarlet Warrior"
"Um... hi," Jen said.
"Greetings, Sentinel," Scarlett said.
"Your presence here fills me with relief. We have won."
"Yeah," Kevin said. "And who's 'we' again?"
"All those who stand against Aggregor. Max Tennyson would be proud if he were with you."
"You know our grandfather?" Gwen asked.
"Only through legend," Sentinel said as he removed his crown. "Professor Paradox, who built this place, spoke highly of him."
The crown then shifted into the final piece of the Map of Infinity, which he handed to Scarlett, who matched it into the other two.
And then, the entire Perplexahedron started rumbling and shaking and Ben looked up.
"What's that?!" Emma asked fearfully.
"This place has served its function," Sentinel explained. "Whatever else happens, protect your three pieces of the map, Ben and Jen Tennyson. Protect it with your lives. Go now!"
"What about you?" Jen asked.
"That is none of your concern. Go."
The rest of the team nodded and ran away as Scarlett held the three pieces and ran towards the hanger.
"Scarlett, how do you know the way to the ship?"
"The map piece," Scarlett said as the most recent piece of the map glowed. "It just knows."
"The homing signal in our badges confirms it," Becky said as she ran in.
The Perplexahedron crumbled and Sentinel didn't stir as Aggregor appeared in front of him, smirking wickedly.
The rest of the team ran in and Ben and Jen stopped.
"What are you doing?!" Gwen asked.
"We should've been out of here like, five minutes ago!" Kevin said.
"I don't care what he said," Ben said. "We can't just leave the Sentinel behind."
"Not in this," Jen said.
Becky nodded as she typed some coordinates into the badge and tossed it to Kevin.
"It's set to find the Rust Bucket."
The rest of the team, including Scarlett, ran back into the room to find Aggregor and the Sentinel.
"Kevin, we'll meet you there as soon as we can," Ben said.
Aggregor didn't even flinch as the Perplexahedron crumbled and Sentinel squirmed away from Aggregor.
"I'm asking one last time: where is the map?"
"I will never tell."
"Unfortunately for you... I believe you."
Aggregor's eyes began to glow red when a forcefield appeared as the twins smirked as Scarlett drew her blade.
"You want them? Come and get them."
"Give them to me!"
Ben and Jen quickly transformed into...
"Helios!" Ben's Metatronian form shouted.
"Painwheel!" Jen's Arburian Pelarota form shouted.
Helios quickly let out a brilinat light from his body that blinded Aggregor as Jen quickly rolled up into ball form and slammed against Aggregor, only for him to slam her away into the wall with his radioactive beams.
Painwheel hissed as she slammed her Ultimatrix symbol, her skin becoming silver and her armored shells growing spikes and turning into a more diamond shade.
"ULTIMATE PAINWHEEL!"
Ultimate Painwheel morphed into her powerful spiked ball form and bounced up and down against Aggregor several times and tossed out her spikes from her shells that exploded upon contact with Aggregor.
Ben quickly quick changed into his Firefox form, who then evolved into Ultimate Firefox, looking almost the same as his sister, but more muscular.
Sentinel felt the ground crumble beneath him and he began to fall, when Gwen shot her hands out and caught him in her mana bubble.
"Guys, get out of here!"
"Aggregor is not getting away from us again!" Scarlett shouted as she rose her Keyblade and fired a Ragnarok spell from it that sent dozens of energy beams blasting into Aggregor as Ultimate Firefox snarled and leaped up, letting out nine multicolored fire beams from his tails that blasted into Aggregor at point blank range.
Ultimate Painwheel shouted out and bounced all around the room, slamming into Aggregor at every pass this eventually stopped and the trio stood panting as a massive cloud of dust appeared.
"Had enough?" Ultimate Painwheel asked.
Unfortunately, a hand shot out and slammed into her Ultimatrix symbol, turning her back into Jen as Aggregor grabbed her neck and lifted her into the air, squirming and kicking.
"Jen!" Everyone shouted.
Aggregor then turned to Scarlett.
"Release her!" Scarlett ordered.
"Give me the Map of Infinity, and then she's all yours."
Scarlett's eyes widened in horror as Aggregor smirked.
"Now I have you. If you don't hand me the map, she dies right here and right now."
"Don't do it, Scarlett," Jen begged. "He can't have the Map. Please."
Scarlett stood conflicted as all eyes turned to her and she groaned out and she stuck her hand out as the team's three pieces of the map appeared.
"I'm sorry, Jen," Scarlett said as she reluctantly handed the Map over to Aggregor, who then let Jen go as Ben, Scarlett and Emma surrounded her as she tried to get her breath back.
"At last! The map is mine!"
As the now completed map disappeared in his hand, Aggregor flew off as everyone stood while Becky carried Sentinel in her arms.
"Guys, later," she said.
"This place is coming down around our ears!" Ally agreed.
Then, Jen, Gwen and Emma put up a forcefield around the team as the entire Perplexahedron came apart and the pieces drifted off into space.
"We've only got a few minutes of air," Gwen said as Scarlett bowed her head, looking absolutely despondent at what she did.
"I can't believe I just did that," Scarlett muttered.
Luckily, Kevin flew in with the Rust Bucket III and took everyone up into the cargo bay.
"Need a lift?" Kevin asked.
"How did you-" Jen asked.
"You want to know, or do you want a ride?"
"What have you done?!" Sentinel asked as Scarlett facepalmed. "It was the map you were meant to save, not Jen!"
"I'm so sorry," Scarlett said. "But Jen is just as, if not more, valuable than the Map of Infinity is."
"My whole purpose was to protect that map. I thought I'd succeeded. But I see now that I have failed. All is lost..."
Sentinel faded away in Ben's arms as everyone stood, wondering what to do.
"I... I didn't-" Scarlett began.
"Stop, Scarlett," Ally said, putting her hand on the warrior queen's shoulder. "You did what you thought was best."
"You would never leave anyone behind, Scarlett," Gwen said.
"That's not who you are. That's not who we are," Jen said. "I'm glad you saved me."
"Don't worry, guys," Emma said as she stood on a chair to Ben, Jen and Scarlett. "It's like you always tell me. It's not over until it's over."
"We lost a battle," Ally said. "You hear me? Just a battle."
"We're not going to lose the war," Becky agreed.
"Aggregor has the map," Scarlett nodded. "But we're not gonna stand around and just let him use it."
"So what are we gonna do?" Ben asked as Jen stood up.
"We honor the Sentinel. We finish the mission. We stop Aggregor. Permanently!"
Next time on Ben and Jen 10: Ultimate Alien
Forge of Creation
