Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Saving Civilians From Kevin's Madness

(Later on, the Rust Bucket picked up Allison after she came out of her hiding place and the twins had a meeting with her.)

Ben: "It was Kevin at both the video game store and the mint."

(Ben said.)

Ben: "They were set-ups."

Jen: "It was all for revenge on us."

(Jen said as Gwen searched recent events on her laptop.)

Max: "That would explain a lot."

(Max said.)

Max: "I knew it wasn't you, Ben. I don't mean to offend you, Allison, but your brother is missing a couple of paddles."

Allison: "No offense taken, Max."

(Allison said.)

Allison: "Besides, that monster isn't any brother of mine."

Ben: "But why does that alien S.W.A.T. team guy think all aliens are bad?"

(Ben asked.)

Ben: "Hasn't he seen the Omni Twins on the news?"

Gwen: "Looks like some personal experience."

(Gwen said as she showed them the news articles she found.)

Gwen: "Your friend's been busy, Ben. And not just here in San Francisco. Wildmutt terrorizing Tallahassee, Ripjaws in Chicago, Ghostfreak in Barstow."

Jen: "Ben's going to get blamed for all that stuff!"

(Jen realized.)

Ben: "And I didn't do any of it!"

(Ben added.)

Gwen: "Can anybody say ironic?"

(Gwen asked as they heard screaming.)

(They looked out the window to see a trolley full of passengers with Upgrade's pattern on it speeding past them down the hill they were parked on as Allison face-palmed.)

Jen: "Kevin!"

(Jen glared.)

Max: "The boy must have gone Upgrade to hijack that cable car."

(Max realized.)

Ben: "Anything he can upgrade, I can upgrade better."

(Ben said, slamming his Omnitrix down, turning himself into...)

Gwen: "Wildmutt?"

(Gwen asked.)

Gwen: "Nice choice, fido."

(The Vulpinmancer just growled at her, annoyed.)

Jen: "I'll meet you guys down at the bottom of the hill."

(Jen said, slamming her Omnitrix core down and transforming into Frostblight before flying down the hill to the bottom.)

(Wildmutt then pounced out of the RV with Allison riding on him as he chased the trolley.)

(Little did they know, the S.A.C.T. soldiers saw them leave.)

S.A.C.T. soldiers: "Mobile 1, a wild dog alien with that girl riding on him and an ice pixie alien just emerged from that RV. Now both them and the liquid metal alien are headed down California St."

Person: "Maintain visuals. I'm on my way."

(The passengers in the trolley were panicking as the driver tried to engage the brakes, only for Kevin's eye to appear in the trolley's frame.)

Kevin: "Now why are you doing that?"

(he asked.)

Kevin: "We're just starting to have fun!"

(He let out several tendrils and ripped the brakes out of the frame and tossed it out of the window as the trolley sped downwards.)

(Frostblight finally reached the bottom of the hill as she saw the trolley approaching.)

Frostblight: "Let's do this."

(she said before inhaling a deep breath and let out a super cold gust of air, freezing an ice wall on the end of the boardwalk to stop the trolley to stop the trolley in its tracks should Wildmutt and Allison fail to stop it.)

(The traffic stopped as the trolley sped downwards and Wildmutt and Allison bounced on top of it as they followed it.)

Allison: "Ben, just get us in close enough to stop the trolley!"

(Allison said as she fingered the materials in her pockets.)

(Once Wildmutt reached a close enough distance, he leaped off and Allison absorbed the discarded Diamondhead crystal's material before they landed on the cable car.)

(Soon enough, they passed by an antique shop with Chinese writing on it and a young Asian girl wearing an orange sweatshirt saw the whole thing out the window as the Rust Bucket passed by with her on it.)

Asian girl: "Hey, Uncle Jackie, I just saw an orange dog with no eyes with a girl covered in diamond riding on a black and green trolley that seems to be out of control."

(she said.)

Jackie: "Now, Jade, that was probably just your imagination."

(a voice said from nearby.)

Jade: "Yeah, and the demons and Shadowkhan were just my imagination too."

(she scoffed.)

(Back on the trolley, Kevin's eye then popped up in front of her with a glare.)

Kevin: "Sorry, Ben. No pets allowed!"

(Kevin said as spikes shot up from the frame, causing him to lose his balance as he grabbed onto the side of the trolley and he and Allison dodged the incoming traffic.)

Allison: "Hang on, Ben!"

(Allison shouted as she punched a hole in the window and the two leaped inside.)

(Meanwhile, the Rust Bucket sped down the street with its fins engaged.)

Max: "You know, at times like this, my stockcar driving experience really comes in handy."

(The passengers freaked out over the diamond-coated girl inside the trolley as Kevin stuck his head out beside his sister.)

Kevin: "Peek-a-boo, sis!"

(he said before he punched Wildmutt into her, causing them both to stumble as the trolley's bench collapsed beneath them, knocking them unconscious.)

Kevin: "That's a good little hero."

(Kevin then de-merged with the trolley and smirked.)

Kevin: "Let's see, the breaks are out, heroes are trapped, and everyone's about to go for a dunk in the bay. My work is done."

(He then transformed into Stinkfly and flew away as Wildmutt and Allison recovered as the Rust Bucket pulled up to the back of the trolley as Max shouted to them.)

Max: "Guys, attach the line to the bottom of the RV!"

(Wildmutt looked out of the window and saw a line and hook at the rear of the cable car.)

(He looked to Allison and nodded as he grabbed the line in his mouth, jumped out the window and attached it to the bottom of the Rust Bucket.)

(Max then slammed his foot on the brakes with Wildmutt hanging on.)

(Allison then absorbed the lead from her stray bullet and leaped out of the front of the trolley and slammed her hands against the bumper, digging her feet into the and shouted out in effort as she tried to slow it down.)

(Max fired a line out of the Rust Bucket's rear and it shot into a building at the end as the Frostblight looked out from the end of the boardwalk, biting her nails intensely as the trolley rapidly slowed down before Allison's foot gently touched her ice wall as the trolley stopped.)

(Everybody gave out a sigh of relief as they all slumped down in exhaustion.)

(The passengers of the trolley all cheered out at their rescue as Frostblight smiled and nodded before flying over to her grandfather and Wildmutt as she put her hand on her head.)

Frostblight: "Grandpa."

(she said, breathing heavily.)

Frostblight: "I think I might need an EKG in five minutes."

(Later, after the twins hid from view, the Rust Bucket pulled up next to a dumpster as the twins and Allison went out from behind it as Ben and Jen smiled.)

Gwen: "Not bad for a 3-inch pixie and an alien with no thumbs."

(Gwen said as Max proudly rubbed their heads.)

Lt. Steele: "Freeze!"

(Lt. Steele shouted as his soldiers surrounded them and aimed their blasters at them from all sides.)

Lt. Steele: "One move and you're all Swiss cheese."

Jen: "What is this?"

(Jen asked.)

Jen: "What did we do?"

Lt. Steele: "You have two choices kid: tell us what you have to do with the Omni Twins or get ready to get measured for your prison uniforms."

Ben: "What are you talking about?"

(Ben asked as Lt. Steele picked up left arm with the Omnitrix.)

Lt. Steele: "It has something to do with this watch, doesn't it?"

(he asked.)

Lt. Steele: "Is it some sort of signal to call the Omni Twins to your location?"

soldier: "Sir."

(a soldier reported.)

soldier: "We have reports of that crystal alien attacking the Golden Gate. It looks like it could bring down the whole bridge if it isn't stopped."

(Lt. Steele released Ben's arm and picked up his communicator before activating it.)

Lt. Steele: "Falcon One, pick up at my twenty. We're not done with you five."

(A helicopter appeared overhead and released a line that Lt. Steele picked up and attached to his belt before flying off to the Golden Gate Bridge, leaving the twins and Allison worried.)

Ben: "Those guys don't stand a chance against Kevin!"

(Ben shouted.)

Jen: "We have to stop him."

(Jen said as Allison nodded.)

Allison: "Count me in."

(she said with a smile.)
