(Six-Six and the Predator then pulled out their weapons using one of his extra arms and started firing energy bolts at the four of them when Tetrax turned around, the bolts deflecting off of his indestrucible crystal body before he and his partner ran off with the twins and into an abandoned convenience store (ironically, convenient was the word that could be used to describe its presence.)
(The crab continued to fire on them when the Predator gave a few clicks to him in his native language)
Kraab: "Shut your gasket, snake head. I know what I'm doing."
Ben: "What are we waiting for?"
(Ben asked before Tetrax grabbed them by their collars.)
Maya: "Don't be foolish. Keeping the Omnitrixes secured is the only priority here."
(Maya said to them.)
Jen: "Not to us."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "That's our family out there."
Tetrax: "You two cannot save them. You would soon be overpowered and captured. Luckily for you two, I have a spare hoverboard that we can use to leave the planet while we still can."
(Tetrax told them.)
Tetrax: "We have to get it now."
(he said.)
twins: "But."
(the twins began before Tetrax set them down and started to pull something out of his pack before he was swatted aside by the Predator and Six-Six.)
Maya: "Hey, get your claws off my partner, bub!"
(Maya shouted, aiming her blaster at them as she and them got to different corners and engaged in a shooting match.)
(That was when Ben, out of the corner of his eye saw the hoverboard in the distance as he turned to his sister.)
Ben: "Okay, here's the plan. You fake your surrender to the crab while I go and get the hoverboard. Then at the last minute, I'll fly in and grab you."
(he whispered.)
Jen: "You don't even know how to fly that thing."
(Jen whispered.)
Ben: "It's probably just like riding a bike. Anyone can do it with practice."
Jen: "Practice takes time, which is something that we don't have."
(Jen whispered before they turned to see Tetrax and the Predator brawling in a cloud of dust before Jen sighed.)
Jen: "Okay, we'll do it your way for once."
Ben: "That's my sister."
(Ben said as Jen sighed up.)
(She then ran out of the convenience store, being sure to kick up plenty of the desert's sand to give Ben some cover and got in front of the crab, who had taken Gwen and Max while the purple alien was fighting Tetrax, and glared at him.)
Kraab: "What are you gonna do? You don't have the charge on that thing, little girl."
(Kraab said as she then put her hands up into the air and got on her knees as she started to cry.)
Jen: "I surrender! Do what you want with me! Just please don't hurt my family!"
(she begged as she turned to Ben, who was in a racing stance as she then winked to him as he started running for it, using the dust cloud Jen kicked up for cover as he ran for the hoverboard which was resting by a rock as he then picked it up.)
Kraab: "Nice try. But for us to get the reward, we need both of the Omnitrixes. Now where's your brother?"
Ben: "Right here!"
(Ben shouted as Jen smirked and stuck her hand up as Ben flew in on the hoverboard without much control and Ben picked her up and swung her onto the back of it as they both wobbled from the sudden shift in weight.)
Ben: "Nice one, huh?"
Jen: "I knew those acting classes last year would pay off somehow."
(Jen said as they then saw Tetrax and the Predator crash out of the store as they struggled on the ground before he shot some crystals at Kraab who stumbled back from the sudden blows and dropped Gwen and Max in the process as they fell on the ground before he took out his spare hoverboard and flew to avoid the blasts from the purple alien while Ben and Jen crashed into the same store as they fell dazed as they looked at their respective Omnitrixes, which were still recharging.)
(Maya glared as she rolled up into her ball form and laid some bombs all around the area as Tetrax tossed the Predator into one of them, detonating the bomb and blowing him sky-high.)
Ben: "Oh come on!"
(Ben said as they glared.)
Ben: "Recharge, already!"
(Meanwhile, Max and Gwen ducked under a mine cart as Tetrax jumped off his hoverboard and landed square on Six-Six causing a massive dust cloud and forming a crater as Kraab stumbled back from the force of the impact.)
(Then, the two started brawling as Tetrax's enhanced strength allowed his punch to blow Six-Six back a few feet before he activated his gauntlet and fired a rocket from it, which Tetrax then blocked using a diamond shield.)
(Kraab tried to surprise him from behind, but Maya beat him to the punch.)
(She grabbed his pincer and tossed him into Six-Six.)
(The Predator started advancing on her from behind, which she sensed and fired a missile over her shoulder, which blew him back into the bombs again.)
(While all this was happening, the twins were watching from the convenience store with a concerned look on their faces before they saw that the Omnitrixes were ready to be used as they smiled at each other.)
Jen: "Hero time?"
(Jen asked.)
Ben: "You know it."
(Ben said.)
(Kraab then noticed them as they gasped and ducked for cover in a flash as he went after them before they activated the Omnitrixes.)
(Ben was about to transform into Four Arms before he remembered what Max and Tetrax said earlier.)
{Max: "Remember to think out there, you two. Don't try to muscle it. Might isn't always right."}
{Tetrax: "Your choice of aliens is based solely on brute strength without any regard for strategy. Do you ever pause to consider your actions at all."}
(Ben realized that they were right.)
(He's been muscling it out all day and every time he's gotten his butt handed to him.)
(Maybe now was a good time as any to consider coming up with a strategy.)
Ben: "Hey, sis?"
(Ben asked as Jen looked to him.)
Ben: "I think we should think our choices through."
Jen: "That is the best (and possibly only) idea you've ever had."
(Jen stated before Ben glared at her as she put her hands up and chuckled.)
Jen: "I'm kidding. Let's do it."
(The two then chose two different forms from the ones they were going for.)
(Kraab then noticed the flash of green and pink from behind the table as he then invisibly smirked.)
Kraab: "There you are."
(He then smashed the table... only to find nothing behind it.)
(Up in the rafters, Frost Blight and Grey Matter had just hopped up onto one of the beams as they turned to each other and split up, Frost Blight flying out the hole that Tetrax and Six-Six made in the wall while Grey Matter leaped onto Kraab as he started to scramble to get him off.)
Kraab: "Get off of me, you tiny little Galvan pest!"
(he shouted before Grey Matter leaped down to his neck and reached into an opening.)
Grey Matter: "There should be a nerve cruster in here somewhere."
(he said as they scrambled out of the door.)
(Grey Matter finally pulled the cables loose before Kraab started thrashing, no longer in control of his actions before his head spun and he finally shut down, crashing to the floor and Grey Matter jumped off his shoulder before running for his sister.)
Grey Matter: "One down."
(Frost Blight was flying towards the still struggling Tetrax and Six-Six before she glared at him as he tried to spot an opening in the hunter's armor as she glared.)
Frost Blight: "Okay, Jen. Stay positive."
(she told herself.)
Frost Blight: "You're three inches tall right now. You only see on the upside."
(The Six-Six then got Tetrax into a headlock before activating his jetpack and flying upwards and bodyslammed Tetrax into the ground.)
(Unknowingly to him, Frostblight had flown in through an opening in his neck and making her way to the workings of his systems.)
(On the outside, Six-Six spotted Grey Matter and glared before activating his rockets before Max tackled him.)
Max: "Ben, run!"
(Max shouted before the alien tossed him off him and activated a saw.)
(Grey Matter gasped when he saw this and ran towards his grandfather in an attempt to save his life.)
(Frost Blight also saw this as she then grit her teeth in anger.)
Frost Blight: "Not on my watch, you stupid robot."
Gwen: "No!"
(Gwen shouted as Six-Six was about to kill Max before Grey Matter jumped on top of him.)
Grey Matter: "Guess who?"
(he said as Six-Six scrambled.)
(Tetrax then recovered as he saw Grey Matter on Six-Six's head.)
Tetrax: "I told you to stay out of this."
(he said as Grey matter smirked.)
Grey matter: "What can I say? I'm a troublemaker."
(he said as he noticed the circuits in Six-Six's armor.)
Grey matter: "I wonder what would happen if I did this?"
(He then snapped a few cables and the alien's jetpack activated as they flew off.)
(On the way, the out of control alien then crashed into the town's water tower.)
(Inside of his armor, Frost Blight started cackling like a witch as she then rubbed her hands and stuck them out as she then let out a massive gust of icy cold air from her mouth, hands and wings as the circuitry around her started freezing over as the lights in his armor started going out and he started falling to the ground with Grey Matter on him.)
(She then punched her way out of the now brittle metal as she then flew out of the armor and grabbed Ben and started carrying him to the ground as she beat her wings.)
Grey Matter: "You know, I was doing just fine without you."
(Grey Matter said.)
Frost Blight: "You're welcome."
(Frost Blight said as they made their way back to their family, Tetrax and Maya with a simle.)
(The Predator glared and charged forward with a glare as he aimed his missiles at them with a glare before Maya noticed him with a sigh and a missile at him, sending him crashing into Kraab and knocking him out.)
(Six-Six then crashed on the ground right next to them.)
(The twins then noticed the now loose water tower starting to fall as Grey Matter started doing the math in his head at the trajectory of where it would fall as he then started chuckling to himself as the tower's shadow was cast on the three bounty hunters.)
Kraab: "I hate this planet."
(Kraab said as the tower fell on them, broke and the water started gushing out.)
Grey Matter: "Only one way to beat the desert heat, huh?"
(Grey Matter said.)
Tetrax: "Pretty smart... for a human."
(Tetrax admitted.)
(Maya then cleared her throat as she stood next to him with a glare.)
Tetrax: "Sorry."
(Tetrax then activated a device that sent a cube that looked like the Tesseract that grew in size to encase the three bounty hunters, then shrunk down, imprisoning them as the Omnitrixes timed out.)
(He then pocketed the cube with the hunters inside it.)
Tetrax: "I'll return as soon as I'm able."
(he promised.)
Maya: "And I'll be there too. You'll see us again."
(Maya agreed.)
Jen: "What about these?"
(Jen asked, showing her Omnitrix.)
Tetrax: "They're in good hands until then."
(Tetrax reassured as he then went into the store and grabbed his hoverboard before handing it to Ben.)
Tetrax: "I think you're going to need practice with this. And as for you."
(he pointed to Jen as he then pulled out his spare board and pressed a few buttons on it before the green color changed into pink as he handed it to her.)
Tetrax: "Take it. These may be of some use in the meantime."
Jen: "Sweet!"
(Jen said as she cuddled the board with her cheek as Ben smiled at her.)
Ben: "Score!"
(Ben said.)
Maya: "Consider them a gift."
(Maya said.)
Ben: "Hold on, Tetrax."
(Ben said, suddenly.)
Ben: "You said that you needed this to get off the planet."
Tetrax: "Selected disinformation."
Jen: "I'm sorry?"
(Jen asked.)
Gwen: "He lied."
(Gwen explained.)
(Tetrax then activated his helmet as Maya walked up next to him and used a device that teleported him away in a flash of red light.)
Gwen: "How come you two get all the cool alien stuff?"
(Gwen asked the twins as they smirked at her.)
Ben: "Fits our style."
(Ben said as Jen smirked.)
Gwen: "I've got something for you too."
(Gwen said as she took out her suntan lotion and dumped it all over her cousin's head as he shouted out.)
Ben: "Hey! What was that for?!"
(Ben shouted.)
Gwen: "Wouldn't want that big head of your's to get sunburned."
(Gwen laughed as she walked away.)
(Jen was then laughing at that as Ben glared at her.)
Jen: "What? It was funny."
(Jen said as she activated her new hoverboard, got on it and smiled to her brother.)
Jen: "Race you to the Rust Bucket!"
Ben: "You're on!"
(Ben said as he got on his and the two zoomed off to the RV.)
(In orbit, on the Chimera Wrath, a robot watched on a monitor as Tetrax and Maya zoomed away in a flash of red light as it turned to its master.)
Vilgax: "Sigh Betrayed."
(Vilgax said.)
the robot: "Sensors indicate the Omnitrixes are not with the mercenaries."
( the robot said.)
Vilgax: "It appears the creatures who possess the Omnitrixes are as clever as they are fierce."
(Vilgax said.)
Vilgax: "But I shall not be denied."
