Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Ben And Jen Meet Vilgax And Max Shock

(Once all of the drones were destroyed, they were suddenly hit with two electrical nets which snared them and stuck them to a nearby wall.)

(They struggled to get free as they looked up and saw the giant spiked ball rolling towards them before it came to a stop just in front of them.)

(The ball suddenly opened up, revealing some kind of pod bay, which opened the doors, revealing a very familiar squid-like alien.)

Four Arms: "You!"

(Four Arms exclaimed.)

Four Arms: "You're the alien from our nightmares and Rojo's subconscious."

???: "At last we meet. The beings that have caused me so much trouble!"

Heatblast: "Who are you?"

(Heatblast asked.)

Vilgax: "I am Vilgax. And I have come for the Omnitrixes!"

Four Arms: "And I'm guessing you're not one of the good guys."

(Four Arms groaned as she struggled against the grip of the net.)

(Heatblast struggled and flared up, melting the spokes of the nets as he and his sister charged Vilgax before landing several punches towards him... before looking up and realizing they were doing no damage to him whatsoever as he was at least triple their height.)

(He casually picked them up and judo-tossed them into an office building, causing them to crash through the wall, startling the employees as they crashed through the other side and crashed through several more building in a row before they landed in a heap in a crater in a parking lot.)

Heatblast: "Oh, that didn't feel good."

(Heatblast said.)

(Four Arms pushed the rubble off of herself and started breathing heavily as every muscle ached in pain.)

Four Arms: "Man, this guy's tough. I don't think I've ever been hit like that in my life."

(Vilgax leaped towards them from his position before landing in his own crater as the twins looked at each other, concerned.)

Heatblast: "I've got to slow him down!"

(Heatblast shouted before unleashing a massive heatray, which melted the blacktop in front of him into blazing hot tar, which flooded the streets and slowed Vilgax down before he collapsed.)

(The twins approached him with a smirk as the Rust Bucket came speeding up to the pair and Max's eyes widened once he saw the alien warlord lying in the tar.)

Max: "No. It can't be."

Four Arms: "Not so tough when you can't move, are you, punk?"

(Four Arms asked.)

(The Rust Bucket screeched to a halt and Gwen opened the door hard.)

Gwen: "Guys, Grandpa says to get in. Now."

(Gwen said, ushering them to come in.)

Heatblast: "What are you talking about?"

(Heatblast asked, unaware of the beeping Omnitrix on his chest.)

Heatblast: "We're just about to kick alien butt."

(The Omnitrixes then timed out and left the two human twins standing there.)

Max: "Benjamin, Jennifer, get in!"

(Max ordered.)

(The twins then got in the Rust Bucket and sat down at the seats.)

Ben [in mind]: "What is with that time out?"

(Ben thought.)

(The Rust Bucket sped down the road as Vilgax recovered and glared down at the recreational vehicle.)

Max: "Believe me when I say you two do not want to pick a fight with Vilgax."

(Max sternly said.)

Jen: "Yeah, well-"

(Jen trailed off when she realized what her grandfather had said.)

Jen: "...How did you know his name is Vilgax?"

Ben: "Yeah, what's up Grandpa?"

(Ben asked.)

Gwen: "What aren't you telling us?"

(Gwen asked.)

Max: "It's nothing."

(Max said.)

Jen: "You're lying."

(Jen said.)

Jen: "You knew that the forms the Omnitrixes turn us into are aliens and not monsters. And ever since this morning, you've been acting like you know something. We're not idiots."

Ben: "You are going to tell us what you know and you're going to like it."

(Ben agreed.)

Jen: "I want answers and I want them now!"

(Jen shouted as her eyes glowed pink and her skin started peeling off her face as her anger grew.)

(Suddenly, a sudden explosion from behind pushed the Rust Bucket slightly forward and the kids fell back against the wall, dazed.)

(Gwen opened the curtains and saw two of Vilgax's drones closing in on them.)

Gwen: "Two robot goons, closing in fast!"

Max: "Hold on!"

(Max said as he drove the car forward, avoiding the lasers that rained down on them and destroyed the parts of the street that they collided with.)

Jen: "We can't keep this up forever, Grandpa!"

(Jen said as they looked out at the drones.)

Max: "Things are gonna get a whole lot worse if we don't get to Mt. Rushmore."

Gwen: "Why?! What's at Mt. Rushmore?"

(Gwen asked as a laser hit the street next to them.)

Max: "Gwen, this is not the time to explain!"

(The twins struggled with their Omnitrixes as the RV jerked them around with the speed it was driving at.)

(Jen then saw the badge that a certain warrior gave her as it rolled next to her.)

(She then picked it up and pocketed it before continuing.)

Jen: "You're going to have to trust me on this."

Ben: "We're not going down without a fight!"

(Ben said as he and Jen hit their Omnitrixes simultaneously, transforming into Stinkfly and Firefly.)

Max: "Ben, Jen, wait!"

(Max said as the twins flew out the door and engaged the drones in the air, dodging the laser blasts before they faced the drones head on as they hovered side-by-side.)

Firefly: "You slime, I ignite."

(Firefly said as her brother nodded.)

(Stinkfly spat out a large amount of slime from his mouth onto one of the drones before Firefly tossed a fireball at it, igniting the slime and sending the drone hurtling towards its destruction, right behind the Rust Bucket.)

(Stinkfly then stabbed his stingered tail into the second one, damaging its laser before Firefly destroyed it with her heat ray.)

(They then high-fived each other.)

Firefly: "Float like a Firefly..."

(Firefly began.)

Stinkfly: "...sting like a Stinkfly."

(Stinkfly finished.)

(Suddenly, a figure leapt towards them and grabbed onto Stinkfly's tail before he flew away, trying to shake Vilgax off of him.)

Firefly: "Ben!"

(Firefly shouted before following them and aiming her abdomen at them before she glared.)

Firefly [in mind]: "I can't shoot him. I can't risk hurting my brother!"

(Firefly thought.)

Vilgax: "Give me that Omnitrix!"

(Vilgax ordered.)

Stinkfly: "You'll have to pry it from my cold dead wrist!"

(Stinkfly shouted before he spat his slime at him again and Firefly doubled it by igniting it with her heat ray, resulting in an explosion... that seemed to have no effect on Vilgax as he dusted it off.)

Firefly: "You have got to be kidding me!"

(Firefly shouted.)

(Vilgax jumped towards her, but she dodged him and Stinkfly flew next to her, stunned.)

Stinkfly: "Who is this guy?"

(Stinkfly asked.)

Firefly: "I do not know, but he is certainly a persistent one."

(Vilgax landed in a crater, right in front of the Rust Bucket, which made a U-Turn and made another route to Mt. Rushmore.)

Gwen: "Where are you going? We need to help the twins!"

(Gwen shouted.)

Max: "We will, but first we need to get some special help."

Gwen: "Let me guess? At Mt. Rushmore?"

(Gwen asked.)

(Max didn't answer as he continued driving.)

Gwen: "Grandpa? You're really freaking me out."

(Back with the twins, they continued to dodge Vilgax as he chased them across the rooftops before he finally tackled Firefly and held her in his grasp as she struggled against his grip.)

Firefly: "Unhand me, you ruffian!"

(Firefly shouted.)

Vilgax: "If you insist."

(Vilgax smirked as he tossed her into the ground, completely unconscious and dazed, swirls in her eyes.)

Stinkfly: "Jen!"

(Stinkfly shouted as Vilgax grabbed him while he was distracted and tackled him into the same crater that his sister had left.)

Vilgax: "I grow tired of this."

(He then pressed his claw, which started glowing red against the Omnitrix cores, instantly turning them back to human form as Jen groaned weakly.)

(Her legs were jelly as she focused her energy on him before she fell to her knees.)

Ben: "Hey! How'd you do that?!"

(Ben asked as the twins struggled in Vilgax's grip as Jen glared at him.)

Vilgax: "Children? The Omnitrixes are in the hands of mere children!?"

(Vilgax, angered, stuck his hand out to grab them, when a sudden burst of green and pink light surged out of the Omnitrixes, instantly recharging them and knocking Vilgax back into a building.)

(Completely unfazed, he stepped out and advanced towards the twins.)

Vilgax: "It seems the Omnitrixes have already merged with your DNA."

(Jen then turned to her brother, now scared out of her mind of this guy.)

Jen: "Um, Ben. Now I'm on Grandpa's side. Run!"

(They both turned to run away from the giant squid alien.)

(But they didn't get far as Vilgax grabbed their shirts and hoisted them over his shoulders.)

Ben: "I don't suppose that means you're going to let us go, does it?"

(Ben asked.)

Vilgax: "Hardly."

(Vilgax said.)

(The spiked sphere vehicle came rolling back up to him and opened up as Jen groaned as she sighed.)

(Completely scared, Jen reached into her pocket and pressed a button, putting it on speaker.)

Jen: "Scarlett, it's Jen. We could really use some help right now."

(Vilgax tossed the twins in the sphere and entered it himself before it closed up and rolled away, destroying another building in the process.)

(The Rust Bucket pulled up to Mount Rushmore, driving up the side of the mountain face on a completely thin road.)

Gwen: "I don't think tourists are allowed on this road."

(Gwen said.)

Max: "We're not tourists."

(Max said.)

Max: "We're tenants."

(They drove up to a 'Road Closed' sign and stopped.)

(Max pressed a button on the undercarriage and an elevator opened up beneath them, lowering them into the bowels of Mount Rushmore.)

(They stopped when they were inside a mysterious chamber made up of some kind of metal.)

(The two walked through the halls before Max stopped at some cabinets.)

(He pressed a button on some of them, revealing some kind of alien tech.)

(He repeated this process a few more times before Gwen finally lost her patience.)

Gwen: "That's it!"

(Gwen shouted.)

Gwen: "I am not taking another step until you tell me what's going on! Why aren't we helping the twins, what is this place and how do you know about that alien guy who's after the twins?"

(Max put on some equipment, including a protective vest and goggles.)

Max: "Well, it's kind of complicated. But let's just say..."

(he then pulled out a massive cannon, which looked like it could do some major damage.)

Max: "...I wasn't exactly a normal plumber before I retired."
