Becky: "Shut up!"
(Becky said as they walked around Mike's mansion in total awe.)
Mike: "My mom and her new husband live in the main house. They leave me alone, let me do what I want."
Ben: "Cool."
(Ben said as they looked at all of the machinery surrounding them.)
Mike: "After you."
(Mike said as Gwen and Jen blushed hard and stepped forwards into the room as the boys, plus to a lesser extent Allison and Becky, jaw dropped at him as he walked in.)
(The door then closed on Kevin's nose as he was the last one in.)
Kevin: "Ow! Nice one."
(he glared.)
Jen: "Whoa."
(Jen said, looking around.)
Jen: "What is all this stuff? I want this for my room."
Mike: "This is just some of my dad's Plumber gear. I brought it over from his headquarters."
(Mike explained.)
Mike: "I could take you girls there later if you want."
Allison: "We'd all like to see it."
(Allison said with a nod.)
Kevin: "It'd make my day."
(Kevin glared.)
Mike: "Here, Jen. Let me show you something."
(he said, taking the heroine's arm and leading her over to his computer, that showed a bunch of maps and meters on the screen.)
Mike: "I'm patched into the central Plumber's monitoring network. It's connected to everything: global and interplanetary internet, earthbound law enforcement frequencies, oh, and of course the badge communicator channel."
Becky: "Come again?"
(Becky asked.)
Mike: "Oh, come on. You guys did know that the badges function as communicators, didn't you?"
Ben: "Actually, no."
(Ben said.)
Gwen: "So you keep an eye on things with this stuff and you use your powers to help people?"
(Gwen asked.)
Jen: "Cool. You're like your neighborhood's very own superhero."
(Jen smiled.)
Mike: "I guess so. Even so, I'm nothing compared to the likes of you guys, the L-Crew or the Miraculous Team. I'm just one guy, I have nothing on you."
Ben: "You know what I'm thinking?"
(Ben asked, nudging his sister as she nodded, a hot blush forming on her cheeks as Allison noticed as well, a smaller blush on her cheeks before she took deep breaths, trying to fight these feelings inside her.)
Jen: "I do."
(Jen said.)
Kevin: "I know what I'm thinking."
(Kevin growled as the twins approached Mike.)
Ben: "You should join our team, Mike."
(Ben said.)
Allison: "Really?"
(Allison asked as she put her hand on Ben's shoulder.)
Allison: "He's kind of new. Don't you think we should, I don't know, get to know this guy a little more?"
Jen: "What's to know?"
(Jen asked.)
Becky: "Do you want him on the team because you like him?"
(Becky said to her.)
Jen: "No!"
(Jen said, shaking her hands.)
Jen: "He's got the powers, he's got the gear."
Kevin: "He's got a sparkly trail when he flies."
(Kevin added.)
Ben: "And it's what Grandpa Max told us to do."
(Ben finished as he approached Mike.)
Ben: "Our Grandpa Max was a Plumber. He disappeared recently looking into this big alien conspiracy going on with Earth caught in the middle. The six of us are trying to find him so we can stop whatever this is."
Gwen: "Do you wanna help?"
(Gwen asked with a raised eyebrow and a blush.)
Mike: "I'd love to."
(That was when the lights in the room started flickering and the computers and screens rendered static.)
Kevin: "What's the matter?"
(Kevin asked.)
Kevin: "Forgot to pay your electric bill?"
Mike: "The electricity's been a little incompatible lately. No worries. My backup generator kicked in."
Allison: "Backup generator?"
(Allison asked.)
Allison: "This guy has everything... maybe a little too much so."
(Ben looked at the screen and his eyes widened as the pie-chart like scale started to fluctuate.)
Ben: "This isn't any ordinary power surge. Look at this spike in power usage at the local power sub station. The energy drain is enormous. Too enormous to be anything human."
Mike: "Really?"
(Mike asked, looking at the scales.)
Becky: "You did say that something strange was happening with the girls in town."
(Becky said.)
Becky: "I think this qualifies as such."
Ben: "If you need to check it out, Mike, we can help you."
Mike: "Thanks."
(Mike said.)
Mike: "We should probably check it out."
(As the group walked off, Jen saw a spot of brown on her right arm and gasped to see the star symbol before she ducked into a corner and waved her left hand over it.)
Jen: "Procidat Deceptionem."
(The star symbol shimmered and faded from view as she hurried after them.)
(Gwen looked on her arm and noticed the same symbol on left arm and she gasped before pulling her sleeves down to hide it before running for the rest of the group.)
(After suiting up, the group made their way to the local power plant, walking through carefully with Mike taking the lead.)
(Omni-Green generated a green energy blade from his arm to cut the chains, only to find that the gate was unlocked.)
Omni-Green: "Okay..."
(he said.)
Omni-Green: "Not good."
Huntress: "Stay sharp, guys."
(Huntress said.)
Huntress: "Whoever caused that power surge is still here."
(Matter Girl glared forward, only to see her vision start to blur for a few seconds and she shrugged it off as she followed from the rear.)
(They went through the plant's generators, hearing a buzzing sound from the electricity as Mike smirked.)
Mike: "Sounds like the buzzing sound you hear in old monster movies."
Kevin: "Any time you hear a sound and your only reference is monster movies, that's a good cue to run."
(Kevin said.)
Matter Girl: "Rule of thumb."
(Matter Girl smiled.)
Matter Girl: "I like that, bro."
(The group turned a corner and gasped when they saw a girl standing between two generators and the electricity surged through her and she shot her eyes to the group, looking quite zombie like.)
(The girl shot forwards and growled at our heroes before running forward, ripping a generator off its hinges and tossing it towards the group.)
(Lucky Girl created a shield in front of her that blocked the generator as the zombie girl walked forward... right as several more zombie girls came from out of the shadows and advanced towards the group as Omni-Pink's eyes widened and she noticed they were all wearing the same white collared shirts and black skirts with tons of black and white star symbols on their arms.)
Omni-Pink: "Zombies."
(she said.)
Omni-Pink: "Okay, I'll admit, that's a new one."
Mike: "They're all wearing uniforms from my school but I don't recognize them at all."
(The girls ripped some poles out of the ground and tried to use them as weapons, only for Mike to shoot out golden blasts of energy outwards that sent the zombie girls flying back.)
Omni-Green: "Energy bolts, nice."
(Omni-Green smirked.)
Huntress: "I've seen two girls that do that better."
(Huntress said as she suddenly felt wobbly on her legs for some reason.)
Mike: "Don't hurt them. Maybe we can reverse this... whatever it is."
(Mike suggested as the ombie girls rushed forwards with their poles, attacking Matter Girl and Kevin as Matter Girl grabbed her hand and flipped her over as she absorbed a bit of electricity from the generators and blasted it at the girls.)
Matter Girl: "Try not to hurt them?"
(she asked.)
Kevin: "What about us?"
(Kevin shouted as Mike flew in the air and Lucky Girl brought up a shield as the Omni-Twins blasted out their pink and green energy bolts from their gauntlets.)
(However, as the battle went on, Omni-Green noticed his sister getting a little bit sloppy in her execution towards the battle, which was completely unlike her.)
(She seemed to be slacking a little as she blasted out her energy blasts before she ducked from a pole and sliced upwards with her energy blade that generated from her wrist.)
(Huntress reached into her belt and flicked out her bow and aimed an arrow towards a zombie girl precariously and then she groaned as she felt a dizzy spell go over her and blasted the arrow, which just nicked a zombie in the shirt and stuck her to a metal generator as she dodged a swipe from another and kicked her to the curb with a groan.)
(Kevin absorbed the metal from a generator and blocked a zombie's strike towards him before blowing her back with an uppercut to the jaw and then kicked outwards, knocking her back.)
(He looked towards her sister and noticed her dodging blows as well before she punched a zombie in the gut with some hesitation as she looked towards Mike and blushed briefly before slapping herself in the face.)
Matter Girl: "Get it together. What is wrong with me?"
(she told herself.)
(Omni-Green dodged a blow that a girl gave into the generator door, sticking in.)
(She then pulled the wires out, sending out a surge of electricity.)
(He then adjusted the dial on his Omnitrix and slammed the core down.)
(He transformed into an alien made of extremely durable crystal.)
(His body is overall purple, with several dark lines and spots.)
(His hands and face are magenta, and he also sports six magenta shards on his back, two on his chest, and one on the top of his head that resembles a horn.)
(His face consists of a mouth and one large green eye at the center.)
Chromastone: "Chromastone!"
(he shouted as he ran forwards as the zombie girl slammed the cable into him and he just absorbed the electricity into his body.)
Chromastone: "That's not going to work. I'm a conductor!"
(He redirected the lightning back at her and she groaned out, dazed.)
(Mike flew through the sky, blasting out golden beams of energy to the zombie girls as Omni-Pink and Lucky girl sent out an energy grip to the remaining girls, holding them in the air before the energy suddenly turned black and shattered.)
(Out of energy, the two girls groaned and fell to the ground and Mike caught them as the others walked over.)
Mike: "Are you alright?"
(Kevin growled out as Matter Girl looked at her arm, unsure as the girls smiled up at him.)
Huntress: "What's wrong with my sister?"
(Huntress asked.)
Lucky Girl: "I don't know. I felt weak for a second."
(Lucky Girl stated.)
Omni-Pink: "But we feel better now."
(Omni-Pink stated.)
Mike: "Here. You two take my hands. Use my energy."
(He then gave out his golden aura to the girls, charging them up as the zombie girls ran at them with a growl.)
(The two girls then shouted out and gave out a massive amount of energy bolts that slammed into the zombies, sending them flying back to the ground.)
Lucky Girl: "That felt good."
(Mike looked up and fired an energy bolt to the pipes above the girls, loosening them as Huntress fired an arrow to the pipes, sending them crashing down onto the girls, blocking their path as they ran away in fear.)
Kevin: "Nice going, bro! They're getting away!"
(Kevin said.)
Mike: "Sorry."
(Mike said as Chromastone walked over and transformed back.)
Allison: "It's okay. We all make mistakes."
(Allison said.)
Allison: "It's part of being human."
Becky: "She's right."
(Becky said, giving herself a kick in the butt to get focused from what was going on.)
Becky: "The important thing is that we stopped them from doing... whatever it is they were doing."
Ben: "We'll get better as we work together more."
(Ben said.)
(Mike looked down on Gwen and Jen, blushing as they walked over.)
Mike: "We do make a good team."
Jen: "Oh."
(Jen said, brushing her hair out of her face.)
Gwen: "Uh-huh."
(Gwen blushed.)
Kevin: "Okay, what just happened?"
(Kevin asked, concerned.)
Kevin: "You two looked like you were going to faint."
Jen: "We can't thank you enough for helping us."
(Jen smiled.)
Mike: "You could if you two had dinner with me."
(he said as Allison blushed but slapped herself in the face, feeling her resolve weakening.)
Gwen: "Now?"
(Gwen asked.)
Mike: "I'm hungry now. How about you two?"
Jen: "I was just going to suggest the same thing."
(Jen asked, somehow feeling this was wrong.)
(Kevin only glared outwards as Allison and Huntress looked on, concerned.)
Kevin: "Okay, what is up with you two?! You guys have been ignoring me ever since we got here, you guys were lousy in the fight and now you're asking this guy to dinner?!"
Gwen: "Why are you pretending to care?"
(Gwen asked as Mike walked out with her and Jen in tow, blushing madly.)
Gwen: "Later."
Allison: "There's no need for jealousy, bro."
(Allison said, pinching her brother's cheek.)
Kevin: "I am not jealous! I just don't trust this guy. And I don't think you should've been so quick to make him a part of our team."
Ben: "Admit it."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "You're just jealous because Gwen likes him."
Kevin: "Oh, and don't tell me that you approve of your twin sister liking him too? She just met the guy!"
(Kevin said.)
Becky: "He is pretty handsome."
(Becky admitted, stars in her eyes as Kevin looked to them.)
Kevin: "You know what? It's fine."
(Kevin smiled before walking away as Ben turned to Allison and Becky.)
Ben: "You girls were pretty off during the fight too."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "And Allison, since we got here, you've been saying things about Mike that you would never say to anyone, guy or girl."
Becky: "He's right."
(Becky said, rubbing her neck.)
Becky: "Kevin may have a point. Something's going on here. But what is it?"
