"Next…"
Grandpa Max flicked his finger, and the screen shifted.
"One of the escaped Maximum Security Inmates—Kevin Levin. He attacked Rampage Sumo headquarters in New York, looting massive amounts of game cartridges and cash."
New York City – Downtown
The city center had been reduced to ruins.
A man with long black hair, a sickly pale face, and a twisted aura sat atop a small mountain of money, his expression filled with madness.
"Kevin!!" Ben clenched his fists tightly.
"Finally…" Grandpa Max didn't touch the screen again and continued speaking.
"And then—Plumbers Headquarters. A large group of Maximum Security Inmates launched a coordinated attack. I lost all direct data from inside."
"But the Plumbers' systems are still functioning normally," Future Gwen said urgently.
"That's exactly what's strange," Max replied slowly.
"Logically, headquarters should be completely paralyzed. But it isn't."
"I get it." Ethen stood up decisively and began issuing orders.
"I'll head to Plumbers Headquarters first and investigate. You can choose to go to Washington, D.C., or New York. But no matter what, I'll deal with the problems there in the end."
With that—
He raised the Omnitrix, tapped the screen, and rotated it.
"Ethen!" Grandpa Max frowned, worry flashing across his face.
"I don't recommend acting this rashly. The situation is far more serious than you think. Even Brother Ben couldn't clean this up quickly…"
And frankly—
Could you really be stronger than him?
BANG!!
Ethen locked the Omnitrix and stepped out of the Rustbucket.
The moment his foot touched the ground—
Light erupted.
A giant robot-like figure appeared.
ATOMIX.
White lab coat.
Hard hat.
Radiation warning symbols embedded into his armor.
"Atomix?! The alien that emits nuclear energy?!" Max said sharply.
"Ethen, this is too dangerous—his power could cause catastrophic damage!"
"If it's me, It won't."
Atomix's voice echoed calmly as he adjusted his helmet.
BOOM!!
Nuclear energy burst from his feet.
But instead of spreading—
Every trace of radiation condensed perfectly, forming a controlled propulsion core.
Not a single ripple of environmental damage spread outward.
"…Atomix's nuclear energy,"
"…doesn't cause pollution?"
Future Gwen and Grandpa Max stared, stunned.
This was impossible.
Everyone knew Atomix's power carried unavoidable radiation risks—
Especially at close range.
Yet Ethen's control was terrifyingly precise.
"Of course it won't," Atomix said with a confident smile.
"I'm the Nuclear Safety Administrator, after all."
His body transformed into a streak of dark green lightning—
Tearing through the sky toward Plumbers Headquarters.
Along the way, his nuclear energy converted perfectly into kinetic force.
Supersonic.
Efficient.
Clean.
His speed casually surpassed even Jetray.
"…This kid," Grandpa Max muttered, snapping back to his senses.
"He's really something. My counterpart from another universe taught him too well. With skills like these, even if he retires from the Plumbers someday, he'll never go hungry."
Ben's mouth twitched.
Honestly—
Neither he nor Grandpa Max knew why Ethen kept unlocking bizarre life skills.
They could only chalk it up to absurd talent.
"Grandpa, future me," Gwen asked calmly, "What are our missions?"
"Kevin Levin is mine!" Ben puffed out his chest.
"I've fought him before! Even if I lose, Ethen's got my back—I won't lose!"
Gwen rolled her eyes.
"I'm more curious about why Dr. Animo has stayed obsessed with scientific research for decades."
"Fine. I'll go find Dr. Animo."
Plumbers Headquarters – Mount Rushmore
The ground was littered with corpses.
Blood flowed like rivers.
Inside the headquarters, surviving Plumbers stared in horror at the figure standing at the entrance.
A demon god.
A towering body drenched in blood.
An overwhelming killing aura.
Vilgax.
Massive.
Muscle-packed.
In his original, prime form.
The only difference—
Several strange biological devices were embedded into his right arm.
"Before that brat Ben Tennyson shows up… I won't allow you cannon fodder to destroy this base."
Vilgax's voice was deep and brutal.
"…Is Vilgax helping us?" a Plumber asked weakly.
"Helping?" an old Plumber snapped back.
"If he were helping, would he destroy our communications? He wants to seize the headquarters. To force Brother Ben to appear."
If the Plumbers' base fell—
Vilgax wouldn't need to hunt Ben.
Ben would come to him.
"Ben Tennyson," Vilgax growled, veins bulging.
"Before I take the Omnitrix from you—don't even think about disappearing."
WHOOSH—BANG!!
A golden figure slammed into the ground.
Vilgax narrowed his eyes.
"Ben Tennyson? A Maximum Security Inmate?"
"…No." The figure stood up.
Blue skin.
Bald head.
A golden uniform stretched over explosive muscles.
"Captain Tetrax Shard of the Galactic Enforcers—Ultimate Form."
Vilgax scoffed.
"And where are the other two?"
BANG! BANG!
Tini, clad in golden armor and even bulkier than a Tetramand male, landed heavily beside him.
WHOOSH.
A third figure descended—
A floating being with a transparent cranial dome, visible brain, and golden tentacle-like lower body.
Brainstorm.
The heroes had arrived.
