Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Lucky Girl Saved Civilians And Hex's Anger

(Later at a restaurant, the family were sitting at a four-seated table as Jen sipped her Pepsi cola.)

(By this time, Gwen had fashioned the talisman into a necklace.)

(They looked and there was only one crawfish left on the plate.)

Gwen: "I've been counting."

(she noted to the twins.)

Gwen: "You've each had six crawfish to my five."

(As she said this, the talisman started glowing as it did before.)

Jen: "Well, I guess that it's time to make it an even seven."

(Jen said as she picked up her fork before Gwen slapped it away.)

Gwen: "I don't think so."

(Suddenly, the fork went sprawling before the tong-side landed on a waitress' foot.)

the waitress: "Youch!"

(the waitress shouted as she went to grasp her foot, dropping her plate with a glass of water, which was sent flying up into the lampshade hanging from the ceiling and spun on it before going flying into the kitchen, where it landed on the chef, surprising him and sending him backing up into a cart with a bowl full of live crawfish, which backed away into the dining hall.)

(When it finally came to a stop, the bowl was sent flying into the air where it landed on a very shocked Ben.)

(Jen looked down in shame while Gwen munched on the last cooked crawfish.)

Gwen: "Okay, now I'm full."

(Gwen said, satisfied.)

Jen: "But they're not."

(Jen noted as one of the crawfish slithered down her pants.)

Jen: "Eek!"

(she gasped as she went sprawling down, causing her family to laugh at her misfortune as Gwen looked down at the talisman, which stopped glowing, giving her a suspicious look.)

(Back at the witchcraft museum, Hex trashed the place once again, looking for the Archamada Book of Spells.)

(When he didn't find it on display anymore, he levitated the helpless security guard's face to his own, clearly not happy.)

Hex: "The Archamada Book of Spells!"

security guard: "We locked it in the vault."

(the security guard whimpered.)

(He pointed to the vault, which Hex walked to, levitating the shelves out of the way as he glared.)

Hex: "Lata Avidimona Lata!"

(he chanted as the vault suddenly dismantled itself, sending the door flying off of the hinges.)

(He then levitated the Archamada Book of Spells to his hand before flipping it to the page he desired.)

Hex: "Yes. Soon my power will know no limits!"

(A yellow energy flowed from the book into him.)

(Suddenly, the incantation stopped itself before he looked down at his necklace and gasped in shock.)

Hex: "One charm is missing! Of course! The battle with that speed creature and the butterfly. And that meddling sorceress."

(The Tennysons walked into a festival downtown as they took in the sights and souvenirs that decorated the booths.)

Max: "You know, in all my travels, I never saw a crawfish crawl down someone's pants until today."

(Max chuckled before rubbing a blushing Jen's hair as she sighed in embarassment.)

Jen: "Glad I could make your day, Grandpa."

(she said.)

Gwen: "By the way, thanks again for the charm, you two."

(Gwen said before walking over to a hot dog cart.)

Gwen: "Two please."

old lady: "Help!"

(an old lady called out.)

old lady: "They stole my purse!"

(Three thugs ran up with the woman's purse in hand as they smirked before Max got in their way, putting his hand up.)

Max: "That's far enough."

(The leader of the thugs smirked as he slung the purse over his shoulder.)

The leader: "Yeah, and who's going to make us? You, Pops?"

Ben: "Actually, him and his personal friend, Diamondhead."

(Ben said as he ducked behind the cart before he started to fiddle with his Omnitrix.)

(The thug pulled out a pole from his pocket as he twirled it around.)

Ben: "Come on, work!"

(Ben said, struggling.)

the thug: "Hey, that's a nice necklace you got there, little girl."

(the thug said, reaching for the necklace around Gwen's neck.)

(Max stepped in front of them as Jen's eyes started to glow pink before Max shook his head at her.)

Ben: "This is not my lucky day."

(Ben said as the thugs approached.)

(Suddenly, the talisman started glowing again as Ben stepped in front of them, pushing Gwen back.)

Ben: "Let me handle them!"

Gwen: "Hey!"

(Gwen shouted as she stumbled into the juggler, who lost control of his bowling pins and fell off his unicycle.)

(The unicycle was sent flying into one of the thugs, knocking him unconscious and the clubs fell on the leader's head, causing him to stumble back into Max's hold as he detained him.)

(The final thug approached the twins as they glared.)

(Gwen then stood up and ran towards them to help, stepping on a mustard bottle, which squirted right into the vendor's face, causing him to blindly kick his cart towards the thug and knocking right into him.)

(As the first thug was starting to regain consciousness, the thug and cart were knocked into a wall, causing a flower pot to fall from its perch and right on top of his head, knocking him out again.)

(Gwen, shocked, looked down at her necklace, which stopped glowing.)

Gwen: "Cool."

(A crowd gathered to watch the scene unfold, including an officer who was standing next to the old lady who's purse was stolen as she smiled at Gwen.)

old lady: "This young lady's a hero, officer."

Gwen: "Who, me? Just lucky I guess,"

(Gwen smiled as she then spied the masquerade mask stand and smirked to herself.)

(Early the next morning, the twins were groaning in their beds as they heard Max's loud snoring as Ben covered himself with his pillow to drown out the noise, to no avail.)

Ben: "Hey, Gwen? You got a mega-sized cork on you?"

(Ben asked as he looked down at the second bunk as his sister gasped.)

Jen: "Gwen?"

(Jen asked as she got down from the top bunk.)

(Outside the Rust Bucket, Gwen was playing basketball in a nearby court as she dribbled the ball and tossed, it, going nowhere near the hoop.)

(But then, it bounced off the Rust Bucket before it was slung back by the antenna and landed on a nearby power line, bouncing off the frames briefly before it rolled down the line and landed squarely in the net.)

Gwen: "Nothing but the bottom of the net again."

(Gwen smirked before the talisman stopped glowing as the twins walked out, stunned.)

Ben: "Okay, we are definitely not playing Horse."

(Ben said as Jen picked up the ball.)

Gwen: "Give me the ball."

(Gwen said, grabbing for it as Jen pulled it away from her.)

Jen: "Not until you tell us how you did that."

Gwen: "What can I say? I'm charmed."

(She then admired her necklace.)

Gwen: "It's like every time it glows, everything just goes my way."

Max: "Nothing like a good night's sleep."

(Max said, as he walked out of the Rust Bucket.)

Max: "Who wants breakfast?"

(The kids gulped as they knew what was coming.)

(Suddenly, everyone heard a crash from the nearby construction site as the scaffolding started to destabilize.)

(The rope holding the workers up broke and the platform stumbled, causing the workers to fall before they grabbed onto the poles, hanging on for dear life.)

Jen: "Time to watch a real hero at work."

(Jen said as she dialed her Omnitrix.)

Gwen: "Yeah... Me!"

(Gwen said as her necklace started glowing again.)

Gwen: "I'll be right back."

(She then ran off to who knows where.)

(Jen shrugged as she activated her Omnitrix and slammed it down as she was enveloped in a pink light.)

(Jen's watch started surging with pink energy then covered her whole body with a pink energy surge, and she float in the air as she spun around then curled up as her body got wrapped by multiple lava-like silks until she was conceal within the lava-theme pupa then changed to orange crystal form.)

(The pupa start cracking then a long insectoid arm with three claws, spikes on the arm and coated with orange exoskeleton smashed of the pupa then her long legs with long thin talons and finally her head, which she matured to a young woman with a light-orange exoskeleton and wore crown-like horns on her head, has C-cup breastbones, very large abdomen with light-like orb at the bottom tip and a pair of large skin-like wings and her body itself stretched into a more insect-like structure.)

(Her clothes consisted of a one-piece pink and white bodysuit with wholes for the legs.)

(She is now a humanoid firefly-like creature with the watch symbol on her forehead.)

(She floated around gracefully as she open her eyes, revealing her black needle-like pupils with green sclera as she gave a elegant smile, threw a kick in the air, spun around and float gracefully as she finished her transformation.)

(Firefly glared at the falling structure as she sighed.)

Firefly: "Why do the queens have to get their hands dirty?"

(She then flew up towards the structure.)

man: "Over here! Somebody!"

(a voice shouted out as Max and Ben saw a man trapped in his truck underneath a fallen beam from the structure.)

(Then, from the corner, Gwen stepped out, looking completely different.)

(She was in a black catsuit that hugged her body in all the right places with a cape tied around her waist and black gloves and boots as well as a cat-themed masquerade mask that she had picked up from the stand earlier as well as her necklace as she stepped into the light.)

Max: "Gwen?"

(Max asked, shocked.)

Lucky Girl: "It's Lucky Girl, Grandpa."

(she said before running into the action.)

(She looked around and saw a stand with a loose board with some other boards on top of it on it.)

(Her talisman started glowing and she ran up and jumped onto the loose board, sending the boards on top flying into the crane, breaking through the windshield and putting the clutch into ignition, activating the wrecking ball which fell on top of the beam that was pinning the trapped truck down flying away and it smashed into a button, sending the structure's elevator upwards as Firefly flew forwards as she spotted the construction workers hanging from the destroyed platform and smiled to herself as she rubbed her hands together.)

Firefly: "Let's do th-"

(she was suddenly struck by the elevator rising and she was sent flying to the ground as she gave a girlish shriek.)

(Lucky Girl then looked upwards to see her cousin falling to the ground.)

Lucky Girl: "Uh-oh."

(Firefly then thrust her hands forward and shouted out as she fired her heat rays at the beams that sent planks of wood hurtling towards the ground.)

Max: "Gwen- I mean Lucky Girl! Move!"

(Max ordered.)

(Lucky Girl then ran away as the wooden planks fell around her.)

(She then ducked for cover inside a cement truck, but her hand accidentally hit the clutch, sending it into reverse and knocking the pipe chute right below the workers before it struck the resting Firefly and knocking her into the wet cement as she struggled.)

Firefly: "Why is Gwendolyn's fortune my misfortune!?"

(she whined as she struggled inside the cement.)

Max: "Slide down the chute!"

(Max shouted up to the workers, who let go of the platform and slid down the chute and onto the mat to safety as Firefly shook off the wet cement from her as she snarled at Lucky Girl.)

news reporter: "How did you pull off this amazing rescue?"

(a news reporter asked Lucky Girl as she smiled to the camera.)

Lucky Girl: "With style, of course. Who's your hero!?"

(she shouted in the same style that Ben did earlier as he walked up to Firefly who shook her head.)

news reporter: "You heard it here first, live."

(the news reporter said.)

Firefly: "I'm thinking some very unladylike things right now, Benjamin."

(Firefly stated plainly.)

Firefly: "She's totally stealing our shtick."

(Hex levitated through the town as he glared, searching for his missing charm as he pushed past all the passersby when he heard an announcement coming from the television sets in a store he passed by.)

news reporter: "...an exclusive on-the-scene interview with our city's very own: Lucky Girl."

(she said, proudly.)

(Hex then looked down at her necklace and recognized it as his missing charm.)

(Nothing could stop him now.)
