Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: The Plumber Who Gone Bad.

Hey. It's me again. Getting back to you from after I killed Vilgax. We were eating food as Max told us about the last Plumber adventure he had.

Max: "And Vilgax came to a nuclear missile facility to try and destroy a city on Earth. Phil ran in to try and take him out, but Vilgax held a gun to his head, and I managed to get him out with a laser built into my suit, while I shot him with some sticky goo substance to get him stuck on the missile, and I thought he died then, until today."

Upchuck: "Wow, Max. You had an awesome career!" I slurped up some pizza, then became Ripjaws, and started chowing down on them.

Gwen: "Yeah. I would have so took you to career day."

Ben: "Me, too."

Gwen: "But I would have first."

Max: "Well, I would have told them I unclogged pipes."

Ripjaws: "And how boring would that be to hear?"

Max: "I really don't know, Kyle." I reverted to normal, and swallowed the pizza chunks.

Ben: "Are you sure it's safe to eat pizza like that?"

Kyle: "I think so."

Gwen: "At least he's still okay. *Sigh*"

Kyle: "And I'm gonna lie back and take a nap, guys." I then heard a voice on the radio.

Radio: "And the bank is under attack by an alien creature that is dangerous in nature. Stay away from the bank at all costs."

Max: "And we're right near it. You know what that means Kyle." I became Big Chill.

Big Chill: "Don't worry, Max. I'm on the case." I phased out of the RV, and flew towards the bank, while the RV followed right behind.

Bank owner: "Oh the firemen! Thanks heavens you're here! The creature is still attacking!"

Fireman: "We're on it, sir."

Big Chill:"There is no need for that, gentlemen. I'll handle this creature myself." I landed right between to fire trucks, and walked in.

Big Chill: "Alright, alien dude, show yourself, and I'll go easy on ya." I saw something jump out , and it was a little creature. It was brown, and roared.

Big Chill: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! You have got to be kidding me! HA HA!" It jumped at me, and tried to mangle my face. I threw it off, then became Spidermonkey, and shot a web at it. It dodged my web shots twice, and I jumped at it, and it smacked me. I shot a web, it made one instantly, and I landed in it, but I was stuck.

Spidermonkey: "Great, ooh-ooh!" I became Heatblast, and burned myself out of it, then started throwing fireballs at it. It dodged them, then I went XLR8, zoomed towards it, and caught it. It sliced at my helmet. I tail-whipped it, and it flew into the wall. It jumped out, ran into a nearby fountain, then squirted me with the water. I went Ripjaws to absorb it.

Ripjaws: "Ahh… Good water." I transformed into Wildvine, then stretched my arm out to grab it that way, but that missed him, and he ran along my arm, until I slammed him into the wall. I then went Spidermonkey again, and prepared to lasso him with a web, but a laser was shot at me.

Spidermonkey: "Who the hell shot at me? OOH-OOH AHH-AHH!" The lasers came at me again. I then became Swampfire, and they went right through me. I was running towards the location of the shooting, and when I tried slamming the person that shot at me, I found he wasn't there.

Swampfire: "I got a better idea." I transformed into Ditto, then split into two groups of 4 Dittos, and went after the alien and the shooter at the same time.

Ditto 1: "Here alien freak! We won't hurt ya. We just want to talk."

Ditto 2: "Yeah!"

Ditto 3: "We even are near the fountain so you can squirt us again!"

Ditto 4: "Is this really gonna work?"

Ditto 3: "I don't know."

Ditto 1: "Come here, alien freak! Woo hoo!"

Ditto 5: "This guy's gonna be hard to find, huh, guys?"

Ditto 6: "I know. I suck at finding intruders."

Ditto 7: "You're not the only one."

Ditto 8: "We're all the same person, just different mindsets!"

Ditto 6: "I know! But we can't find this dude!" More lasers were shot at them, and they all ducked.

Ditto 5: "Let's split up again!" They multiplied into two more, then they all charged at the direction of the shooter, and when they found him, they body slammed him.

Guy: "Ouch! That hurts!" The other four ran in, then dogpiled on him, too.

The alien jumped out at the other four Dittos, and they multiplied into 8, then dogpiled on him, and both of them were stopped. Ben, Gwen, and Max walked in, and saw the scene.

Gwen: "Ditto attack. Nice strategy."

Guy: "Get off of me!" The eight Dittos were still on him, but he was walking around with them on him.

Ditto 9: "Or what, turkey?"

Ditto 10: "What're ya gonna do to us anyway, huh?"

Guy: "I said get off of me!"

Max: "Phil?"

Phil: "Max? Hey, mind helping me out here?"

Max: "Kyles, get off of him!"

Ditto 11: "Why?

Ditto 12: "He shot at us! That means we are allowed to attack him!"

Max: "Just get off!"

Ditto 14: "By the way, could you guys come over here and help me bag this dude?"

Gwen: "No problem!" She grabbed a box, the 8 Dittos on him jumped off, and Gwen got the box on top of the alien, and all 16 Dittos hopped on top of the box, along with Gwen.

Gwen: "Woo-hoo!"

All Dittos: "Yeah! Alien bagged!"

Phil: "Who're they?"

Ben: "The lovers."

Max: "My granddaughter Gwen and Kyle, a family friend of ours."

Phil: "Oh. Nice. I was going to bag that alien anyway. Mind if I take it from here?"

Gwen: "Okay." Us Dittos all looked at Max.

Max: "Yes. I know this guy. It's safe to come off." We all hopped off the box, and the alien jumped out, while Phil shot a laser net at the thing, and caught it. All of us Dittos merged back into one, and became normal again.

Kyle: "Thanks, um…"

Phil: "Phil. I used to be Max's old partner."

Kyle: "And still doing the Plumbing, I see."

Max: "Why haven't you retired?"

Phil: "I still liked the thrill of hunting down aliens. You know? How about we talk more at my place?"

Kyle: "Sure. That sounds cool." I became Jetray, and flew over the RV while following Phil's car back to his place. He had a tricked out house, that looked like a millionaires kind of house.

Jetray: "Wow. Nice place."

Phil: "Thnaks, kid."

Jetray: "Um, no problem." I changed back to normal, and we went inside to one of Phil's living rooms.

Phil: "Yep. Aliens are still out there trying to disrupt Earth's peaceful environment, and it's my job to keep it peaceful. Never retired because there has to be at least one plumber on Patrol."

Ben: "We're Plumbers on patrol."

Max: "I'm retired. I'm just giving them advice every so often."

Phil: "I see. Well, you can have any kind of room service anytime you want while you're here."

Kyle: "Sweet!"

Ben: "Awesome!"

Gwen: "What's in your library, huh?"

Phil: "Nothing much, but there should be something you'll enjoy in there, Gwen."

Gwen: "Sweet! I'll be right back!" She ran off for the library.

Max: "Library?"

Phil: "Yes Max, I do read sometimes."

Ben: "Room service! I want popcorn shrimp!"

Kyle: "Me too!"

Ben: "Make that two bowls of popcorn shrimp!"

Phil: "Well, why did you retire Max?"

Max: "Other duties called, Phil."

Phil: "Glad to see things haven't changed a lot for you. Still enjoying yourself out there?"

Max: "Yes. Ben, Gwen, Kyle, and I were on a road trip."

Phil: "Around the whole U.S.?"

Max: "Yep. Around this whole country of ours."

Kyle:"Ben! Our shrimp's here!"

Ben: "Oh boy!" I went Upchuck, and started immediately swallowing up the whole bowl of food.

Ben: "Slow down, dude! You're gonna choke or swallow something whole!"

Upchuck: "No I'm not! This is Upchuck heaven!" I continued to keep devouring the shrimp until I had them all in my mouth, and I went Ripjaws to chew it all up. When that was done, I went normal, and swallowed it all up.

Ben: "Now you eat even faster, thanks to Upchuck and Ripjaws, you know?"

Kyle: "I know, Ben. I know."

Phil: "Where'd you get that shape-shifting power anyway, kid?"

Kyle: "Um…"

Max: "It's called the Omnitrix."

Phil: "So it does exist. Interestng."

Kyle: "Sho' does, Phil. I can be any alien in the universe I want to be."

Phil: "I figured that."

Gwen: "This is an awesome selection of books, Phil! I love it!"

Max: "And this is a nice place. How'd you get it all?"

Phil: "Saved up money from other jobs I've done, and I have all this now for myself. I've been very happy with myself."

Kyle: "You should be, man!" We heard an alert go off through the house.

Phil: "Hmm…" He rushed to a computer, and pulled it up.

Phil: "We have to go to a meat processing plant. Come on!" He took his car, and Ben, Gwen and Max went into the RV, while I went Jetray again, and followed both of them. When we got to the meat processing plant, I landed, then transformed into Eye Guy.

Gwen: "Ew…"

Ben: "Definitely freaky."

Max: "Wise choice of aliens, Kyle."

Eye Guy: "I did this just in case we'd be sneak attacked by something."

Phil: "But it's still a sight for sore eyes."

Eye Guy: "Can we just get this over with?"

Max: "We should. Come on." We continued to walk through, looking left and right for an alien, until we found rabid looking Wildmutts.

Eye Guy: "Wildmutt aliens! Maybe I can talk with them!" I transformed into Wildmutt, and roared to them.

Phil: "Vulpimancers. Don't talk well with other species."

Max: "I know." They attacked me, and I jumped out of the way, and continued running, roaring at them to try and reason with them, but they refused to talk, so I went Fourarms, and tackled them. Phil shot one of them, and it charged towards him, while I punched the other Wildmutt into a wall. I went Arcticguana, and tried to freeze it, but it jumped out of my freeze brweath, and hit me. I went Cannonbolt, bounced off the wall, then hit him on the return trip back. I then landed and unrolled, then transformed to Diamodhead, and tried to trap it in a diamond casing, but it failed to do anything. It charged at me, and I charged at him, and It tried to push me when we got into a grapple. I transformed to Spitter, then blew him off with my slime. I transformed to Buzzshock, and shocked him, knocking him unconscious. Phil was still shooting at the other one, and I went XLR8 to save him, by running right into the Wildmutt's chest.

Phil: "Thanks, Kyle."

XLR8: "What are partners for, eh?" I went Upchuck, grabbed some of the metal pieces lying around, then spit them at the Wildmutt, stunning it. Max was in a forklift, and ran into the Wildmutt with it, sending it through the wall. I then went Big Chill, and flew towards it. When it tried to smash me, I phased through it, freezing it up entirely.

Big Chill: "And being in a cold environment gives me the advantage."

Phil: "I can see that, Kyle."

Max: "I'd like to know why two Vulpimancers, and a little brown alien attacked twice in the same day." I reverted to normal

Kyle: "Why?"

Max: "It's just not right that that would happen." I went Jetray again.

Jetray: "Maybe we should be heading back."

Phil: "My thoughts exactly." We had gone back to his place, but Phil and Max took off again.

Kyle: "I'm starting to get suspicious of our friend Phil. Max said two Wildmutts and that last alien would never attack on the same day like that."

Gwen: "It could be that Phil is hiding something."

Ben: "A guy who gives us free food, hide something? I don't think so." He continued eating his pizza.

Kyle: "Gwen, want to go find them?"

Gwen: "Yes, I do. It can't be good if they just went out." I became XLR8.

XLR8: "Then let's go." We ran out, with her on my back, and we had found the car and RV parked near Mount Rushmore.

XLR8: "It's parked in Mount Rushmore? That makes no sense!"

Gwen: "Maybe it does. Let's go in there." I transformed into Chromastone, then went down an opening with Gwen.

Chromastone: "What would Max and Phil want from this place?"

Gwen: "This is supposed to be a Plumber base where they store their weapons."

Chromastone: "Maybe I really didn't get rid of Vilgax, and they want to get him again."

Gwen: "I don't know, but we should be careful here." I transformed into Ghostfreak.

Ghostfreak: "Hold on tight, Gwen." I grabbed her, and we became invisible.

Phil: "Where is it?"

Max: "Where's what?"

Phil: "Max? What're you doing here?"

Max: "Finding out why you're here."

Phil: "Well, there's no reason for you to be here. Just leave!"

Max: It's a plumber base. I am authorized to be here."

Phil: "A retired Plumber. You are NOT authorized to be here."

Ghostfreak: "They're both here for some reason, Gwen."

Gwen: "But what? What could Phil or Grandpa want?"

Max: "There's only one way there'd be those kinds of attacks twice in a row like that. You used the Null Void projector."

Ghostfreak: "The Null Void projector… of course!"

Gwen: "What's a Null Void projector?"

Ghostfreak: "It traps beings in another dimension that is supposedly inescapable."

Gwen: "And Phil's been releasing crooks in there to get more money?"

Ghostfreak: "I guess so. Gwen, hide. I'll move in and take Phil down!" She let go of me, and held on tight to the wall. I flew up a bit, and continued listening to Phil and Max.

Max: "You've been releasing crooks in there to get more money for yourself."

Phil: "Exactly! And I was just about to release another one!" He pulled out the Null Void projector, and pulled the trigger, releasing a green monster on four legs.

Max: "No!"

Ghostfreak: "Max!" I became Swampfire, and dropped two fireballs on it. It backed up. Then Gwen jumped out, and high jump kicked the monster.

Swampfire: "The jig's up, Phil!"

Phil: "I don't think so!" He ran for Gwen, and caught her.

Swampfire: "No!"

Gwen: "AAAHHHHH! Help!"

Max: "I'll deal with Phil and get Ben. You deal with the monster." It roared.

Swampfire: "Got it." I transformed into Fourarms, and charged at it. It flew back, and landed on its feet again. It charged at me, but I grabbed its arms, picked it up, and hurled it into another wall. I then transformed into Cannonbolt, and rolled into it. It threw me off, then I went Heatblast, and launched myself back at it, and it went through even more walls. I went Arcticguana again, then froze it, completely solid, then went XLR8, and ran out, and went Jetray to look for the RV or Phil's car once I got out. I found the RV chasing down the car, and a grey bat Wildmutt like thing chasing after me. I dodged it, and shot it down with my eye blasts, then shot a laser beam in front of the car, stopping it, and I went Chromastone, and slammed the car through the roof, and got Gwen out. Max and Ben exited the RV, going to me.

Gwen: "Thanks again, Kyle."

Chromastone: "After I put that alien on ice, saving you was easy."

Max: "Yes it was!" Phil stepped out of his car, and shot a blast at me, but I absorbed it, then redirected it back at him. He was absorbed into the Null Void.

Gwen: "Things'll be better now, that's for sure."

Chromastone: "And Phil's in the Null Void, meaning there's no more trouble to worry about."

The end.
