Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Capturing Megawatts

(At the dam, the planetarium robot was punching holes in it.)

(It was about to strike the final blow until it was suddenly wrapped up in massive thorned vines that restrained it and then it was struck by a massive wave of flame that caused it to stumble back as it looked to see Heatblast and Blossom Rose on two sides of the dam with their arms crossed.)

Blossom Rose: "This is your first and only warning."

(Blossom Rose glared.)

Heatblast: "Knock off the funny business or we'll kick your twinkling butts."

(The planetarium robot then punched a final blow into the dam, which caused it to burst open water going everywhere.)

(They then stumbled down from the force of the water as Blossom Rose then nodded before jumping down and thrust her hand forward as vines extended from her fingers and wrapped themselves around the giant planetarium and swung on it like Spider-Man before she glared as she thrust her other hand and caused a flurry of thorns to shoot out and embed themselves in its frame.)

Blossom Rose: "Now, Ben!"

(Blossom Rose shouted as Heatblast then glared and ran down the perimeter of the dam before he shot out some fire from his hands and braced himself for impact... only to find that he was flying on a flaming chunk of concrete that he was controlling with his flames, ala jet propulsion.)

(He then jumped down to the floor and then chuckled to himself as Blossom Rose continued swinging from the vines that she conjured before she was finally smacked away by the plantarium and hit her head on the dam and sunk to the ground, unconscious as he looked to the dam and glared at the plantarium, but then noticed the still flooding dam.)

Blossom Rose: "I'd better seal that up fast."

(As he ran to the dam, the planetarium noticed the power lines that were being led to the cylindrical generators that were powering the dam.)

(The Megawatts had found what they came for.)

(Heatblast then zoomed by with a jet of flame trying to go past the planetarium, but he suddenly lost control and crashed head-first into the dam as he then got to his knees in a daze.)

(The plantarium then took it's opportunity and punched Heatblast unconscious.)

(The twins had been defeated.)

(They were victorious.)

(They then walked over to the generators again.)

(Little did they know that back with Blossom Rose, she had landed in a puddle of water that had resulted from the flooding dam.)

(Her body then suddenly shot out small roots that absorbed nutrients from the water.)

(She suddenly shot open her bright pink eyes as she started to grow from the water as she then smirked as she now matched the size of the planetarium as she cracked her knuckles.)

Blossom Rose: "I guess water does do a flower good."

(she said as she formed a shield from her thorned vines as she then ran up to it and started brawling with it as she grew her chlorophyl-filled fists and smiled at him with a glare as she dodged it's punches and then she caught the giant planets with a glare as they suddenly heard a voice.)

Gwen: "Hey, Mega-Whimps!"

(Gwen shouted as she ran over with a fire hose.)

Gwen: "You know what's really funny? You're all wet."

(She then fired the hose at the planetarium, which briefly shorted it out before it tried to step on her with its planet foot, distracting them enough to see Heatblast back with a massive fireball in his hands.)

Heatblast: "What's the matter?"

(Heatblast asked.)

Heatblast: "Can't take a joke?"

(He then tossed the fireball at the planetarium, causing it to stumble back as Blossom Rose closed her eyes and charged up her solar beam as the bud on her head bloomed open and she pointed her head at them and fired the yellow-orange beam at them, destroying the planetarium body as she smiled.)

Blossom Rose: "You guys need to lighten up."

(she mocked as the Megawatts glared and charged at her, only for her to vanish in a puff of smoke.)

Blossom Rose: "Na-na-na-na-na!"

(she mocked as she stuck her tongue out at them as she and Heatblast were standing by something covered by a cloth as the Megawatts grew angry at them and charged at them as they ducked under the cloth as the Megawatts followed them.)

(Max and Gwen stepped from behind and removed the glass, revealing the fish bowl that now had the Megawatts stuck inside of them as the twins smiled.)

(Heatblast then breathed a massive plume of fire that then sealed up the glass with a smile as the two mocked the Megawatts inside, showing them that it's not so fun being on the other side of the spectrum.)

Heatblast: "Great idea using the fish bowl, guys. With non-conductive glass sealed up tight, Sparky and his pals won't be going anywhere."

Gwen: "Once again, science saves the day."

(Gwen said as the Omnitrixes timed out and the twins leaned against the glass.)

Ben: "With a little help from science fiction."

(Ben remarked as Jen smiled.)

Jen: "Featuring fantasy."

(she said as they all laughed.)

(Back in Sparksville, the construction crew was fixing up the damage that Megawatt had left behind as the Tennysons met with the mayor, who was standing by a giant cloth-covered figure.)

the mayor: "You folks done right by us."

(the mayor said.)

Max: "I hope our little adventure wasn't a setback for Sparksville."

(Max said as the mayor smiled for the first time.)

the mayor: "More like a giant step forward."

(the mayor said.)

the mayor: "What with our new attraction, soon we'll be raking 'em in."

(He removed the giant cloth to reveal a giant lightbulb that obviously held the Megawatts.)

the mayor: "Vegas lightbulb. It'll be a humdinger."

(Inside the lightbulb, the Megawatts tried desperately hard to get free, to no avail.)

the mayor: "So long as folks mind the signs."

(he reminded Ben as he walked away and revealed a sign by the giant lightbulb.)

Ben: "'In case of emergency, do not break glass.'"

(Ben read as he shrugged and headed to the now-cleaned up Rust Bucket as he sighed.)

Ben: "I'm all pranked out for awhile."

Jen: "There's a time and a place for a practical joke, bro."

(Jen said as Ben opened the door to the Rust Bucket door, only to have a bucket of water fall on him and Jen smiled as she chuckled.)

Jen: "But funny is funny. Especially when it's not on you."

(The family then laughed except for Ben as they got into the Rust Bucket and left Sparksville.)

(On a cliff, the woman from the restaurant smiled as she looked down on the departing Rust Bucket as she crossed her arms as a cloud of mist suddenly formed around her feet and transformed her clothing, revealing her to be the figure from the desert dressed in the uniform from before.)

???: "I won't let you down, Adaline."

(she said.)

???: "I swear on my father's grave that I will protect the Master Anodite or I'm not the Scarlet Warrior."

(She then summoned her key again and opened a portal and glanced back.)

???: "One day, we'll meet face-to-face, Tennysons. But that day is not today."

(She then walked through the portal and headed back home.)
