(Back at the Rust Bucket, Gwen walked in only to see her grandfather waiting for her with a stern look on her face.)
Max: "Where's Ben?"
(Max asked.)
Gwen: "Yeah, it's kind of a funny story."
(Gwen stated as Max held up his phone and played Jen's voicemail for her.)
Max: "Grandpa Max, this is Jen! Ben ran off! Call me!"
(Underground in an abandoned subway station, Ben and Kevin walked into a room.)
(There were a few TV's, a vending machine, a Sumo Slammer's poster, a fridge, two beds, a kitchen area, and a few mirrors.)
(There were some areas and stuff that looked like they belonged to a girl as Ben smiled and looked confused at the girl's stuff.)
Ben: "You live here?"
(Ben asked.)
Kevin: "Yep. Just me and my sister."
(Kevin said.)
Ben: "You have a sister?"
(Ben asked as Kevin nodded.)
Kevin: "She's 2 years older than me. She's basically been like my mother and my sister at the same time since we moved in here."
Ben: "What about your parents?"
Kevin: "Long gone."
(Kevin said.)
Kevin: "They weren't too thrilled having two freaks for kids."
Ben: "Your sister has powers too?"
(Ben asked as Kevin nodded.)
Kevin: "The same as mine. Only she has more control over her powers than I do and only uses them when she feels that it's absolutely necessary."
Ben: "Same with me."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "Only we're twins and she has to be the little goody two-shoes of the family."
Kevin: "I feel you. She's not old enough to be my legal guardian, so I don't answer to anybody."
Ben: "Sounds good to me."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "So why was that gang after you?"
Kevin: "I kind of maybe trashed their hangout under the 39th Street Bridge."
(Kevin said.)
Kevin: "What about you? It seems like your family's pretty steamed at you at the moment."
Ben: "Like usual. And all I did was sneak in and played the new Sumo Slammer video game."
Kevin: "The one that doesn't come out until Christmas?"
Ben: "Yeah."
(Kevin smiled.)
(Jen sighed as she put a hand to her head as she sat down against a wall and started crying to herself as she continually tried her brother's number before she leaned against the wall of the building she was leaning against before sighing.)
Jen: "What am I going to do? How am I going to tell Mom and Dad that I lost my only brother in New York and that he left with some vigilante!"
(she shouted as she sat down, leaning her head against her knees as she started crying.)
???: "Looking for someone?"
(a voice said as a figure walked out of the shadows of the alley with a smile as Jen looked to her.)
(She was a 13-year old girl who had long, raven hair tied in a ponytail and blue eyes.)
(She wears a black tank top with a gray hoodie tied around her waist, soldier camo pants and black boots.)
(She also wore a key necklace around her neck as she sat down beside Jen.)
Jen: "Yes."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "Can I help you?"
???: "I think we can help each other. You're looking for your brother."
(she said with a smile at her as she smiled.)
Jen: "How'd you know?"
(Jen asked as the girl sighed.)
???: "Because I know what it's like. I'm looking for my little brother too,"
(she said as Jen gasped.)
Jen: ""Does your brother have black hair and a padlock necklace?"
(Jen asked.)
Alison: "You've seen Kevin?"
(Alison asked as Jen nodded.)
Jen: "He's with my brother Ben last I saw him."
(Jen said.)
Alison: "Our brothers are together? I say we help each other look for them. If we find your brother we find mine."
Jen: "Sounds like a plan."
(Jen said with a smile as she wiped her eyes and got up before shaking hands with the girl.)
Alison: "I'm Alison by the way. Alison Levin."
(she said with a smile.)
Jen: "Jen. Jen Tennyson."
(Jen said as the two then started running down the alleyways looking for their brothers.)
Alison: "If I know Kevin, he's probably going to show your brother our place. Come on!"
(Ben and Kevin ran to the storage area at the shipyard as Kevin smirked.)
Kevin: "A little bird told me that a new shipment just came in."
(he said as he ran to the security console and absorbed it's energy causing it to short out.)
Kevin: "Help me kick in the door."
(The two kicked the door in and Kevin smiled.)
(The sensor started beeping and the lights came on, revealing several crates that presumably held the new Sumo Slammer's game.)
Kevin: "Check it out."
(Kevin said as he tossed Ben the game.)
Kevin: "Wait's over, dude."
Ben: "Yeah!"
(Ben said.)
(Suddenly, some smoke grenades burst through the windows and started smoking up the joint as the two stood there shocked as the spotlights from helicopters shone through the windows as they realized that the cops surrounded the building.)
(The two started coughing as the smoke filled the building.)
Ben: "What do we do?"
(Ben asked.)
Kevin: "Get out of here!"
(Kevin shouted as the two dropped the games and ran to try to find an exit as Kevin spotted an electrical outlet before he grabbed it and absorbed it's energy and smiled at his smoking hand.)
(Then, two S.W.A.T. soldiers burst through the door as Ben spotted him.)
Kevin: "Freeze, punks."
(Kevin ran to a forklift and smiled before he used his energy on it.)
Kevin: "Time to rev things up."
(He then pressed his hand to the engine, activating it and sending it on it's way to one of the soldiers.)
(He jumped out of it just before it struck its target and sent him sprawling into a crate, breaking it and knocking him unconscious.)
Kevin: "Let's go!"
(Kevin shouted as they ran out the door, only to be met by a cop car that was blaring its siren and they ran off to be found by a helicopter's spotlight.)
Ben: "Great, no way out."
(Ben said as he looked to his Omnitrix.)
Kevin: "Any ideas?"
(Kevin asked.)
Ben: "Only one, but can you keep a secret?"
Kevin: "Sure."
(Kevin said as Ben activated the Omnitrix as the S.W.A.T. team ran into the storage area.)
(He then dialed it past Grey Matter and Heatblast before finally stopping on Stinkfly.)
Kevin: "What are you doing with your watch?"
(Ben then slammed the core, activating the watch.)
(The Omnitrix sank into his arm as the skin hardened and turned into a green exoskeleton with the hand becoming black with three clawed fingers.)
(His head morphed, growing four golden insectoid eyes that blinked vertically and his face turned black.)
(His body reshaped, becoming insectoid, as six green insect legs grew out of his sides, two green silk wings grew from his back, and his abdomen grew a large black stinger.)
(The watch symbol appeared on his forehead as he flapped his wings in a pose.)
(In Kevin and Alison's secret home, Jen's Omnitrix started beeping as it sensed it's partner's activation.)
(She then smiled.)
Jen: "Interesting. The Omnitrixes seem to be linked to each other. When one is activated and the two are apart, it sends out a signal to the other showing us it's location."
Alison: "What's up with your watch?"
(Alison asked as Jen got up.)
Jen: "I know where our brothers are. Let's go!"
(Jen shouted as Alison smiled to her./
Alison: "Wait up."
(Alison said as she opened one of the desks of her drawer and took out a stone, a sliver of metal, an emerald, a sliver of wood, a rubber ball, a carbon, and a sample of oil, a sample of liquid nitrogen, a copper penny, and a discarded bullet and put them into her pockets as she smiled.)
Alison: "Okay, I'm ready."
Jen: "What are you going to do with those?"
Alison: "You'll see. Come on."
(they then ran out, following the signal on Jen's Omnitrix.)
(Back at the warehouse, Kevin noticed Stinkfly and smiled before grimacing at his smell.)
Kevin: "Ugh, you reek!"
Stinkfly: "I know."
(Stinkfly said before he grabbed Kevin and flew out of the door only to be followed by the helicopters.)
Kevin: "Oh yeah!"
(Kevin said, kicking his feet against the waters of Lake Placid as he smiled to Stinkfly.)
Kevin: "And people all me the freak. How'd you do that?"
Stinkfly: "Talk later."
(Stinkfly said as he noticed the helicopters flying after them and the S.W.A.T. team started firing their guns at the pair of them.)
(Stinkfly dodged them before flying off to Liberty Island and Kevin kicked his feet against the Statue of Liberty before they ducked under the spikes of its crown as he smiled.)
(The helicopter pilots lost sight of the two of them as they circled the statue.)
helicopter pilots: "Where'd they go?"
(Little did he know they were hiding on the underside of the helicopter, out of their vision.)
Stinkfly: "We're running out of time."
(Stinkfly said.)
Stinkfly: "I'll lose them in the city."
(He then flew off of the helicopter as the soldiers fired their guns at them rapidly as he flew off to New York City again before flying down the streets, trying his hardest to shake the helicopters before they crashed on the windshield of a tour trolley that ran over a hot dog stand.)
(The chase had taken them in sight of the Rust Bucket and past Jen and Alison as they passed them and Jen smiled.)
Jen: "Bingo."
(Jen said as they passed in front of a camera and Stinkfly was shown on the big screen in Time's Square just above the Coca-Cola sign as Jen smiled and Alison glared.)
Alison: "That kid is dead meat."
(she said as Kevin showed a peace sign and the cops shot the TV screen as Jen glared before activating her Omnitrix.)
Alison: "What are you doing?"
(Alison asked as she looked to Jen.)
Jen: "Getting a lift."
(Jen said as she ducked behind an alleyway and slammed the core down in a flash of pink light.)
(The watch sank into her wrist as her skin spread a light pink color from the wrist up as she closed her eyes and two antenna grew out of her head.)
(Her clothes morphed into a pink one-piece outfit with the Omnitrix symbol on her belt and two large deep pink butterfly wings with purple and red tones grew from her back and she flapped them rapidly as the transformation ended and she glared before she flew to Alison and gestured to her.)
Battlefly: "Come on. I can keep up with them."
(Battlefly then grabbed Alison as she flew after them as fast as her wings could carry her but being careful to be behind the helicopters to not catch as much attention.)
Stinkfly: "I can't shake them!"
(Stinkfly shouted as he continued to be chased by the helicopters and spotted a truck carrying cars on a flatbed as he smirked.)
Stinkfly: "I've got an idea."
(he said as he flew into the flatbed and hid in it as the helicopters flew after him and into a tunnel as she smiled.)
helicopter pilot: "We'll get him on the other side."
(the helicopter pilot said as they flew to the other side of the tunnel.)
(But to their shock when the flatbed came out, Stinkfly wasn't there anymore.)
(Ben and Kevin stuck their heads up from the car seats after the Omnitrix timed out while in the tunnel as they smiled.)
Ben: "Yeah!"
(Battlefly then flew overhead and glared at the flatbed as the helicopters left.)
Battlefly: "I'm not as stupid as the cops are, Ben. Come on!"
(She then continued to follow the flatbed overhead before landing on it and she and Alison stopped in one of the cars on the lower level of the truck as they glared.)
Alison: "Still trying to wrap my head around this."
(Alison said as they kept an eye on their brothers from down below.)
