Phil: "It's fate that we all met up."
(Phil said back at the hotel he was staying at.)
(It was a luxury suite that was enough to house 10 people if necessary.)
(Ben was stuffing himself silly with the room service tray, while Jen was looking over his film collection and Gwen was reading in a rather comfy chair.)
Max: "Nifty suite."
(Max said.)
Max: "It must have cost a pretty penny."
Phil: "Just a little thank you I negotiated with the manager for helping with his alien problem. And trust me, this is just the tip of the old alien iceberg. You know, kids, you two would make great Plumbers?"
Jen: "We would?"
(Jen said, looking up with a smile as her brother gave a thumbs up.)
Phil: "Sure. Two real chips off the old block. We'd all make a great team. With your powers, Max's experience and my instincts, we'd be a an unstoppable team. What do you think?"
Max: "I think that it's a strange coincidence that for a hyper weasel and two mega mutts to show up on the same day."
(Max said.)
Phil: "Aliens. Go figure."
Gwen: "He does have a point, Phil."
(Gwen said.)
Jen: "I hate to second-guess you, but I think I agree with Gwen on this one."
(Jen said, shrugging her shoulders.)
Max: "I need to get some fresh air."
(Max said before he left the room.)
(Phil scowled for a bit before he turned to Ben.)
Phil: "Hey kids, order whatever you'd like off the room service menu."
(he said before following his old friend out.)
Ben: "Now we're talking!"
(Ben said as he went back to admiring the food.)
Jen: "Is that shrimp cocktail? I love shrimp cocktail."
(Jen said as she dipped the shrimp in the sauce before munching on it.)
Gwen: "Something's going on that Grandpa's not telling us about."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "Come on."
Ben: "And pass up free room service/ No way, I'm staying here."
(Ben said.)
(The girls then smirked as they got an idea.)
Jen: "Yeah, you're right."
(Jen said, crossing her hands and smirking innocently.)
Jen: "It's probably some top secret Plumbers mission. Perhaps it's better if the three of us just stay out of it."
(Ben then shot his head up at the suggestion before turning to his sister and cousin.)
Ben: "I... guess I could take a look for the hell of it."
Jen: "That's my bro."
(Jen said, ruffling his head.)
(The kids burst out of the hotel room and looked around and saw neither hide nor hair of either their grandfather or his old partner.)
Gwen: "No sign of Grandpa."
(Gwen said.)
Ben: "Or Phil."
(Ben said.)
Jen: "But where would they go?"
(Jen asked.)
(Gwen then got a suspicious look on her face.)
Gwen: "If Grandpa thinks that alien weasel and those space mutts are connected, there's only one place around here to check out."
Ben: "Mt. Rushmore."
(Ben agreed as Jen nodded and slammed her Omnitrix down as she morphed into XLR8. She then whipped her tail and slung her cousin on it as Ben turned into his own XLR8 form.)
XLR8: "Hang on."
(XLR8 (Jen) said.)
XLR8: "Pedal to the metal."
(They both then sped off towards Mt. Rushmore.)
(At Mt. Rushmore, Max opened a chamber to a secret room in the underground Plumbers base.)
(Unfortunately, he discovered that the object he was looking for was gone, in its place was just an empty socket.)
???: "Looking for something?"
(a familiar voice asked him.)
(Max turned around to find Phil twirling a gun-shaped device with a sphere at the end of it, a smug smirk on his face.)
Max: "The Null Void Projector."
(Max said.)
Max: "I thought all those aliens looked familiar."
(Phil could only smile mischievously.)
Max: "You stole the Null Void Projector to release all those aliens we caught back in the old days."
Phil: "You were always too smart for your own good, Max. But wanting to not joining up with me? That was just plain dumb."
Max: "Why are you doing all this?"
Phil: "Job security. I release an alien, then get some hotel manager or mayor or whoever to pay me to catch it. Easy money."
Max: "I'm not going to let you get away with this."
Phil: "Yeah, I figured you might say that. Too bad, too. We would've made quite a team again."
(Phil then fired the Projector, releasing a golden light from the sphere, which Max dodged.)
(The light then opened a portal and out stepped a monstrous alien with a green exoskeleton, clawed hands, a mouth filled with fangs, and four spider-like legs.)
(Max looked on, horrified.)
Phil: "And don't worry. I'll be sure to tell the twins that your last words to me were how you wanted them to follow in your footsteps as my partners."
(The alien brought its claws down on Max, but a blue and black blur suddenly sped by and Max disappeared from view.)
Phil: "What the-"
(The blur then reappeared behind him as the twins showed up with Max safely by their side.)
(XLR8 (Jen) lifted her visor, a disappointed look splattered all over her face.)
XLR8: "You're no Plumber. You're nothing but a fraud!"
XLR8: "We really looked up to you, too!"
(XLR8 (Ben) said.)
Phil: "Guys, listen to me."
(Phil said.)
Phil: "We don't need your grandpa. We could start back up the Plumbers again. Just the three of us."
XLR8: "Forget it!"
(XLR8 (Jen) spat.)
XLR8: "We never abandon family!"
XLR8: "And there's nothing you can do to change our minds!"
(XLR8 (Ben) added.)
Phil: " hahaha Sorry to hear that."
(The alien then pried his claw from the ground and roared ferociously.)
Phil: "Say hello to an old friend: a Wigsilian Org Beast."
(The Org Beast then advanced towards the group, who looked on nervously as Phil made a break for it as he opened the back door to the chamber.)
Phil: "I'd love to stay but I've got lots of work to do."
(he said as he escaped.)
(The twins then got their grandfather out of the way of the Org Beast's attacks before advancing on it themselves and bringing on their own raipd fast attacks, which seemed to do no damage.)
(Max then ran for the cabinets to find some kind of weapon to help his grandchildren.)
(But he was unsatisfied with what he found in each one.)
Max: "Where is it? Where is it?!"
Jen: "Hey Grandpa, could you pick up the pace?"
(Jen asked, dodging a ground pound.)
(Suddenly, the watches started beeping down and the twins gulped as the Org Beast threw a plank of wood at them as they timed out.)
Ben: "...because we sure can't."
(Ben groaned.)
Max: "Got it!"
(Max said, picking up a grenade.)
(He tossed it at the Org Beast and it released a green gas that knocked the beast out once it inhaled enough of it.)
(He then ran up to the twins and helped them up as they rubbed their heads, sore with pain.)
Everyone: "Where's Gwen?"
(They all asked.)
(Said redhead was investigating Phil's car that was parked underneath the Rust Bucket.)
(She then saw the elevator light up and she hid inside the car as the traitorous Plumber exited the elevator and got in his car, throwing the Null Void Projector into the passenger seat.)
Phil: "And who says crime doesn't pay?"
(He then exited the Plumber's base in his car, completely unaware of Gwen hiding in the passenger seat as she looked on nervously.)
(The Rust Bucket followed him, hot on his trail as the twins fastened up their seatbelts.)
(Max pressed a button on the dashboard and the drive shaft was replaced with a shaft used for airplanes.)
(The radio antenna retracted inside the RV and two thrusters opened up out of the back of the roof and two brakes out of the rear of the vehicle.)
(The thrusters heated up and the RV shot off as the twins could barely handle the speed.)
Ben: "So, how many aliens did you store in that Null Void thingy?"
(Ben asked.)
Max: "At least a couple hundred."
(Max said.)
Max: "But it's a portal to another dimension. In theory, it could have millions inside of it. Some of them might not even be from this universe! If Scarlett's presence is any indication, other dimensions entirely separate from ours could very well exist with alien species that may not even exist in this one."
