Chapter 279 - Chapter 279: Light Triplets Sad Story

(Kevin drove his car as Becky took the record of the signal being broadcasted to them, giving away the triplet's location as she sighed as Kevin drove forwards as he saw his sister driving her motorcycle right there beside him, headphones blaring in her ears as she looked on worriedly at them.)

Becky: "Is she alright?"

(Becky asked as Kevin nodded)

Kevin: "She's fine, don't worry."

(he said to them.)

Kevin: "She's just worried about the triplets?"

Ben: "Why?"

(Ben asked.)

Ben: "They literally tried to kill us like thirty minutes ago."

Jen: "Because she identifies with them."

(Jen said.)

Jen: "Remember that she and Kevin were actually homeless in New York when we met them. They know what it's like to have nothing and the world against you."

Gwen: "Exactly."

(Gwen realized.)

Gwen: "She wants to make sure that those three get what they need as soon as possible and the only way she can do that is to get through to them and explain their story."

Ben: "They think that we want to hurt them, guys? Remember? And they're more than capable of beating the crap out of us again, as I'm sure you guys are very well aware."

(Ben said as he prepared himself as Becky examined her badge as it beeped out a confirmation.)

Becky: "We're here."

(she said.)

Becky: "Everybody out."

(Everyone filed out of Kevin's car and Allison shifted her bike into park as she took her helmet off, laid it on the seat and then everyone nodded to each other outside of the door.)

Jen: "Now remember what we agreed on, right?"

(Jen asked.)

Ben: "We try it your way first."

(Ben agreed.)

Ben: "We try to reason with them first. They're not bad people."

Gwen: "That being said."

(Gwen said with a shrug.)

Gwen: "You know what happens if they attack us first, right?"

Kevin: "Of course."

(Kevin said, bashing his hand into his fist.)

Allison: "We go strong, we go bold, we go big."

(Allison said.)

Allison: "We're going to make them see reason even if we have to force it out of them."

Becky: "Absolutely."

(Becky said as Jen nodded.)

Jen: "Let's hero up."

(The team minus Kevin pressed their watches and transformed into their alter egos as Jen walked up to the door and lightly tapped it with her knuckle.)

Wade: "Oh crap, it's the fuzz!"

(Wade shouted from inside and the triplets all immediately panicked as they stood at attention.)

Nate: "We're only 13!"

(Nate said.)

Lila: "I'll never survive in Area 51! They'll mop the floor with me!"

(Lila shouted in panic as Wade walked up to her and gave out a fire fist to her.)

Wade: "We are not going to prison, you two! Now get a grip and let's show these guys what happens when you decide to mess with the Light Triplets."

Kevin: "Pretty please, it is."

(Kevin said to himself as he absorbed the concrete from the wall and slammed the door in and was immediately pelted with moonlight daggers that caused him to stumble into his sister's arms as Omni-Pink glared and transformed into...)

Firefox: "Firefox!"

(While her brother transformed into...)

Humungousaur: "Humungousaur!"

(Wade ran out of their hideout and slammed him with tons of solar rays from his hands, which barely did anything to the alien's thick exterior as he slammed him back with his tail into the wall as Lila came out with a shout as she fired moon beams from her hands into Huntress, which she dodged before taking out her spear and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with her as she shouted out in fear at the young woman in front of her who nailed her with a kick as Lucky Girl appeared several energy tendrils from her hands that wrapped her up in her powerful grip as she shouted out in fear.)

Lila: "Nate! Help me!"

(she said.)

(The youngest triplet then shouted out before he stuck out his hands and dark shadowy tendrils that wrapped themselves tightly around the two sisters and they shouted out in fear at that as Lucky Girl fired out energy rays from her eyes that sliced into the tendrils, tearing them up as Firefox ran towards him on all fours and slammed him in the chest with her powerful tail, causing him to slide back and growl at her, sending shadow blasts to her that she blasted away with fireballs towards him.)

Firefox: "Sorry, young bloke."

(she said in her cheeky Aussie accent.)

Firefox: "But you're playing our game now."

(Lila shouted out as she created a blade made out of solidified moonlight that she used and ran up to Humungousaur as he countered with two hits from his large fists that she dodged backwards before she and her brother created a dual solar and lunar shot outwards that blasted into him, sending him flying back as he groaned outwards in pain.)

(Kevin ran forwards and grabbed Wade's hand before he absorbed the ground material and tossed him to Matter Girl as she smiled to him as she glared.)

Matter Girl: "We're trying to reason with you guys, kid."

(she said sternly.)

Wade: "Let go of me, you jerk!"

(Wade shouted before delivering a flaming kick to the young adult's stomach, causing her to slide back and let go of him as he and Firefox delivered a dual blast of flames to each other, colliding in a blast of fire that knocked everybody back and caused them to shield their eyes from the impact... just as Firefox rushed up and then hit him with his tail into Nate as he blasted out a shadowy blast that knocked Huntress away just as she fired an arrow at him that snagged his jacket into the building as Lucky Girl grabbed Lila again as she glared outwards.)

Lucky Girl: "Now, if we can have your attention, guys..."

(she said as the kids whimpered in fear.)

Lila: "Please don't hurt us!"

(Lila shouted in fear as she backed into the wall.)

Nate: "We never wanted to steal that stuff! We were just trying to survive!"

(Nate asked as Wade stepped up to the twins as they transformed back and he got onto his knees and practically groveled at their feet.)

Wade: "Please don't hurt them, Omni-Twins!"

(he begged.)

Wade: "I'm the oldest. I was the ring leader of stealing so we could get by! Do what you want with me, but don't hurt them!"

Omni-Green: "We don't want to hurt you guys."

(Omni-Green said as he and his sister degenerated their helmets and stood before the triplets.)

Nate and Lila: "Huh?"

(Nate and Lila asked in unison.)

Omni-Green: "We never did. We just wanted to help you guys and we wanted information."

Wade: "But you clearly attacked us."

(Wade asked, confused.)

Matter Girl: "Um, yeah. We only did that after you attacked us."

(Matter Girl said, taking off her mask.)

Matter Girl: "It's called self-defense."

Lila: "Oh..."

(Lila said with a slight nervous chuckle.)

Lila: "Sorry about that."

Becky: "No bigs."

(Becky said.)

Jen: "Come on."

(Jen said.)

Jen: "Let's go inside and you tell us all about what's going on."

(A Few Minutes later...)

Wade: "Okay, where do we start?"

(Wade asked himself with a sigh.)

Wade: "We're the Light triplets. Hi, I'm Wade, the oldest and I have powers over solar energy and the sun."

Lila: "Lila. The middle child and my powers are over the moon and lunar energy."

Nate: "And I'm Nate. My powers are over eclipses and darkness."

(Nate said as the team, in their civilian forms, sat opposite them on various ends of the makeshift apartment.)

Ben: "Triplets, eh?"

(Ben asked with a smile.)

Lila: "Yeah. We're kind of inseparable."

(Lila said.)

Jen: "Same with me and my bro here."

(Jen said.)

Jen: "Ever since we were born."

Wade: "We were pretty much human for a while."

(Wade said with a sigh.)

Wade: "Or so we thought, until this... thing happened to us one night and we could control various states of light or dark energy for each of us. It was enough to freak our dad out and he told us we weren't just human."

Nate: "We were actually a subspecies of human called..."

(Nate began.)

Kevin: "Osmosians."

(Kevin finished from leaning against the wall.)

Kevin: "So are Ally and I."

Allison: "As you said, we're a subspecies of human that have a unique genetic component in our DNA that can give us various extraordinary abilities."

(Allison said.)

Allison: "Our power is absorption. Yours are obviously solar, lunar and eclipse powers."

Lila: "He took us out back at least twice a week to practice our powers starting from when we were 11. We got good, really goo."

(Lila said.)

Lila: "Well, we were until those slimeballs at S.A.C.T. showed up and took us away. We thought they were going to dissect us or something."

Gwen: "S.A.C.T.?"

(Gwen began.)

Gwen: "Special Alien Containment Team?"

Wade: "Led by Lieutenant Steele."

(Wade confirmed.)

Wade: "We managed to use our quick wits and our powers to escape from the truck and made our way to Bellwood. So we did what we had to do to survive."

Becky: "You stole."

(Becky said.)

Becky: "I relate. I had to kill several aliens in the Null Void for food for five years just so I could survive despite not having any powers."

(Jen sighed as she smiled.)

Jen: "Don't worry, guys. We're not going to let you go hungry."

(she smiled.)

Jen: "We're going to make sure you get some food until we can get you on your feet in here."

Allison: "I'm actually a chef at one of the best restaurants in town."

(Allison said.)

Allison: "I can make some extra meals and bring them here for you guys? How's that sound?"

Nate: "That would be nice."

(Nate admitted.)

Gwen: "And by the way, it's obvious from your description that your father was a Plumber."

(Gwen said.)

Wade: "Um, yeah. We know that."

(Wade said.)

Ben: "No, not like that. Plumbers are an intergalactic police force of sorts. They know everything about Osmosians and aliens of the like."

(Ben smiled.)

Ben: "We've been running into a lot of Plumber's Kids recently."

Jen: "And in return for us helping you, we're going to need your help."

(Jen smiled.)

Wade: "How?"

Jen: "You're awesome with those powers of yours."

(Jen said.)

Jen: "And right now, Earth is in the middle of a huge alien conspiracy. The six of us are putting together a special team to help us against the DNAlien invasion when it inevitably comes to Earth."

Ben: "You guys in?"

Nate: "Duh."

(Nate said, jabbing his sister and she smiled.)

Lila: "Of course we'll help. You're willing to do the same for us."

(Lila said as she eyed the badge in Wade's hand.)

Gwen: "Those badges work as communicators too."

(Gwen smiled as Becky and Kevin showed theirs.)

Allison: "When we need you guys, we'll just call."

(Allison said.)

Kevin: "Promise us that you guys will be there?"

(Kevin asked as the triplets smiled at him.)

Wade: "Of course we do."

(Wade said.)

Wade: "You can count on us."

Jen: "Thanks so much."

(Jen said as they all got up.)

Jen: "We gotta get out. Our parents are probably wondering what happened to us."

Lila: "Thank you guys. We won't let you down."

(Lila said as they smiled and left to their vehicles.)

Ben: "Well, all's well that ends well."

(Ben said with a smile.)

Ben: "We just got three more members added to our team."

Becky: "Those DNAliens should be quaking in their tentacles."

(Becky said as they all filed into the cars.)

Jen: "Come on, bro."

(Jen said with a smile.)

Jen: "Let's go home."

(The team then drove off into the moonlight, leaving their new friend's team behind, proud of their work.)
