Chapter 163 - Chapter 163: The Visitor

(Somewhere in the arctic, two men were riding on snowmobiles through the snow dunes and whooping at the top of their lungs.)

(Suddenly, one of them gasped when they saw a slab of ice sticking out of the ground right in his path.)

(He immediately pulled over to avoid it, causing him to crash face-first into the snow.)

(He removed his glasses when he suddenly felt the ground start to rumble and shift beneath him and he gasped as he fell downwards into a forming crater full of snow.)

(His friend immediately pulled over next to the crater and immediately laughed at his friend as he was covered in snow from head to toe.)

(As he got his bearings, they immediately realized that inside the crater was a bunch of machines and stuff of that matter scattered throughout.)

(It appeared underneath all of the snow was the remains of some sort of ship.)

(They went down into the crater to investigate when they saw some sort of pod-like structure sticking out of the wreckage.)

(The first man brushed the snow off of the crater and it glowed green before it immediately opened to a yellow light.)

(The two men screamed as an alien approached from the pod and they ran away and got onto their snowmobiles and immediately left, leaving the alien standing there, clutching her head as she got her bearings.)

(She then glared when her most recent memory came to her.)

(She knew that she had a mission and it must be accomplished.)

???: "The Omnitrixes."

(she realized with a gasp.)

(In St. Louis, Missouri, the team was visiting the dog park next to the St. Louis Arch, having a good time.)

(Gwen and Becky ran by with a cheer and a laugh as they flew their kites all through the field and Allison stood by at the basketball court, shooting some hoops with Jen as they smiled and motivated each other as she nailed it into the basket with a smile.)

Jen: "Yes!"

(Jen said as she scored.)

Allison: "Try this, Jenny."

(Allison said as she grabbed the ball, swiftly avoided Jenny on the court and ran to the other basket before she leaped and performed a slam dunk as Jen looked stunned.)

Jen: "Wow."

(Jen said.)

Allison: "There's a lot of courts in New York."

(Allison smiled as she tossed the ball to Jen.)

(Suddenly, Ben ran by as Wildmutt and grabbed Gwen's kite right from her, knocking her and Becky over as Gwen shouted out.)

Gwen: "Ben, I'm telling Grandpa!"

(Becky groaned as she helped her sister up and glared at their cousin as he flew the kite by them.)

(Gwen took her spellbook out of her pocket and rifled through it and stuck her hand out as it glowed blue.)

Gwen: "Amourous Infecta."

(Suddenly, Wildmutt's body started to twinkle lightly, catching the attention of all the dogs in the park that he passed by as they sniffed a rather musky scent coming off of the alien mutt before them.)

(They then ran away from their owners and ran towards Wildmutt.)

(Wildmutt suddenly gasped and took notice of the panting dogs in front of him and he whimpered before he ran off with the dogs following him as Jen and Allison walked by, joining Gwen and Becky as they watched the spectacle.)

Becky: "I love it when things work out."

(Becky smiled as Jen groaned.)

Jen: "Gwen, what did you do?"

Gwen: "Just a little harmless spell."

(Gwen chuckled.)

(Scared, Wildmutt clawed his way up a tree and started hanging from a branch as he whimpered and the dogs jumped up from under him as the girls walked up.)

Allison: "Don't complain, Benji."

(Allison smiled.)

Allison: "You're the one who always wants more attention."

(The Omnitrix started beeping as the branch gave way from Wildmutt's weight before timing out and Ben groaned as he stood up from the impact.)

Ben: "Whew."

(he panted.)

Ben: "Never thought I'd be so glad to be me again. Sorry, fidos, playtime's over.'

(This did nothing to deter the dogs as they still whimpered and panted in front of him and he gulped.)

Ben: "Oh, man!"

(Ben, walked up to the girls, covered in dog slobber from head to toe as Gwen and Becky laughed at his misfortune.)

(Even Jen couldn't help but giggle at that before quickly apologizing to her brother.)

Allison: "Oh man."

(Allison said as she wiped a tear from her eye.)

Allison: "That is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy."

Becky: "Grandpa, check this out."

(Becky laughed.)

(Grandpa Max only looked on sadly as he saw an elderly couple walk by past his view and he sighed.)

Ben: "You know, Gwen, you always tell us not to fool around with our powers."

(Ben said.)

Ben: "Why don't you do the same?"

Jen: "Yeah, I thought you were more mature than that."

(Jen said.)

(Gwen looked on at Grandpa in a bit of sadness as Ben wiped off the slobber.)

Gwen: "Grandpa seems pretty bummed since we showed up here."

(Gwen said.)

Ben: "Really?"

(Ben asked.)

Jen: "We didn't notice."

(Jen said as they walked up to Max as he sighed.)

Jen: "What's wrong, Grandpa?"

Max: "Oh, nothing, nothing. I'm fine. I just need a little time to myself, that's all."

Becky: "No problem."

(Becky seethed as she and her sister grabbed the twins and pulled them away.)

Becky: "We'll be at the playground if you need us."

(They then glared and pulled them away by the arm.)

Ben: "Hey, that hurts!"

(Ben shouted.)

Allison: "I'll be with them."

(Allison shrugged as she walked away.)

(Max only looked after them sadly.)

(The gang lay down in the sun overlooking the bay and Ben sighed.)

Jen: "What's your problem, Gwen?"

(Jen asked.)

Jen: "That really hurt!"

Ben: "What she said!"

(Ben said.)

Gwen: "My mom told me that Grandpa and Grandma met in St. Louis."

(Gwen explained.)

Allison: "Yeah, so?"

(Allison asked.)

Becky: "So being here reminds him of Grandma."

(Becky said.)

Becky: "I think he's feeling lonely."

Allison: "What was your Grandma like?"

(Allison asked as she stood up to face the Tennyson kids.)

Jen: "Don't know."

(Jen said.)

Jen: "We've never met her."

Allison: "Really?"

Ben: "Yeah."

(Ben said.)

Ben: "There's not even any pictures of her in our homes. Grandpa and our parents never talk about her or what she was like."

Allison: "Tough."

(Allison said.)

Allison: "Me and Kevin barely knew our dad before he died too."

Becky: "We know."

(Becky said.)

Becky: "I feel bad for Grandpa."

(Suddenly, they heard a screaming and crying coming forward from the playground as parents picked up their kids and ran away from the sight.)

(The team instantly suited up and gasped when they saw the alien who stepped foot onto the playground.)

(She was a green reptilian creatures with a long tail and tentacles protruding from her head.)

(She had three glowing purple eyes with stripes running from them.)

(Her hands had four clawed fingers and she had ostrich-shaped legs and feet.)

(She wore a blue one-piece bodysuit that accentuated her female figure.)

(She looked around at the area as Omni-Green and Omni-Pink glared as they approached.)

(She then glared as her eyes glowed purple.)

(The Omni Twins were suddenly enveloped in a purple aura and lifted up in the air as the alien glared and went closer to them.)

???: "The Omnitrixes. Where did you two get them?! Answer me!"

Omni-Pink: "Yeah, long story."

(Omni-Pink said as she and her brother dialed in the Omnitrixes and transformed into Frankenstrike (Ben) and Firefly (Jen).)

Frankenstrike: "But the short answer is that it doesn't matter 'cause you're not getting them!"

(Frankenstrike shouted.)

(Firefly then shouted out as she unleashed her heat beam and Frankenstrike fired out his lightning blasts and they struck the ground by her, kicking up a ton of dust.)

Matter Girl: "Where'd she go?"

(Matter Girl asked.)

(Suddenly, all of the playground equipment was enveloped in the same purple aura and the floated up as the alien used her telekinesis to break it apart and she shouted out and tossed the fragments of wood and metal at our heroes as they all dodged around and Firefly fired out her heat ray from her tail and destroyed it.)

(The alien wasn't deterred as she used her telekinesis on a nearby fire hydrant and tossed the water at Firefly as she shouted out and spluttered as she landed in front of Lucky Girl and Huntress.)

Lucky Girl: "Ow."

(she said with a wince.)

Allison: "Okay, my Queen."

(Allison said as she lifted her up onto her four legs.)

Allison: "Rest time's over. Go fry the bad girl!"

Firefly: "I can't."

(Firefly said as she lifted up her hand but nothing happened.)

Firefly: "I'm soaked! I can't even get a spark lit!"

(Suddenly, a shout was heard as Frankenstrike was tossed aside right by his sister as she flipped herself out of the way.)

???: "You will hand over the Omnitrixes now!"

(the alien shouted as Lucky Girl flipped through her spellbook with a glare.)

Lucky Girl: "Not on your life!"

(Suddenly, a blue energy blast fired from nearby and the alien leaped out of the way as they all looked to see Max decked out in his Plumber's suit and a large blaster in his hands as he glared at the alien.)

Max: "That was your first and only warning shot! Now turn around. Slowly."

???: "That voice..."

(the alien realized as she slowly turned around to face the former Plumber.)

???: "Max?"

Max: "Xylene?"

(Max asked.)

Max: "Is that you?"

(Frankenstrike, Firefly and the others looked on with a glance towards the alien and then towards Max.)

Frankenstrike: "Did we miss something here?"

(Frankenstrike asked as Firefly shook herself off.)

Xylene: "Are these children with you?"

(Xylene asked.)

(Max only nodded his head in confirmation.)
