(The group watched a magic show going on at the Expo as they applauded the tricks they were seeing while Gwen and Jen looked unimpressed at it.)
the emcee: "And remember."
(the emcee said, walking onto the stage.)
the emcee: "The Best Magician of the Year will be found in just a few hours during the solar eclipse. Now, please remember today's contestant, The Amazing Alan!"
(Smoke appeared from the stage as Alan stepped out and revealed a magic box as Scarlett and Bayonetta stood in their disguises in the crowd, as Bayonetta whispered to her queen.)
Bayonetta: "You need that keystone, right?"
(Bayonetta asked.)
Scarlett: "Yes. Gwen doesn't know what she's doing with that thing."
(Scarlett said.)
Scarlett: "It's something that's far too dangerous in the wrong hands."
Alan: "For my first trick, I'll need a volunteer!"
(Alan said.)
(Gwen looked to her side and saw Ben step out with a smile, startling Alan as he waved to the crowd.)
Ben: "Ben Tennyson, at your service!"
Max: "What's he up to?"
(Max asked.)
Jen: "Improving the act, I'd say."
(Jen said with a smile.)
(Alan then placed Ben in the box.)
Alan: "And boy goes in. But what comes out will amaze and surprise you."
Ben: "They won't be the only ones."
(Ben smirked as Alan closed the lid and locked it.)
Ben: "Abra kadabra!"
(he said as a green light glowed from within the box and it started shaking as Wildmutt jumped out of it and landed at the crowd, startling Alan as the crowd, including Jen and Allison cheered and whistled at the trick while Max and Gwen stood unimpressed.)
(That was when the glass roof of the ceiling melted and a red cloud of smoke flew in and exploded, sending Wildmutt and Alan back as Hex, Enchantress and Charmcaster stood there, glaring.)
Jen and Gwen: "Hex!"
(Jen and Gwen gasped as the crowd screamed.)
Alan: "Hey, wait your turn, pal."
(Alan said to Hex.)
Alan: "You're ruining my act!"
Hex: "I have no time for amateurs."
(Hex glared as he used his telekinetic magic to levitate Alan and send him flying into Wildmutt with a glare.)
Hex: "Give me the Keystone of Bezel!"
Jen: "You'll have to find it yourself, bub!"
(Jen asked.)
Hex: "If it's magic you want, it's magic you shall have!"
(he shouted as he activated his staff and several explosions rang out across the ground as the crowd screamed in terror and dispersed away as Scarlett and Bayonetta nodded to each other and backflipped away, shedding their disguises.)
(Bayonetta dodged an explosion by a hair's breadth and time seemed to slow to a crawl around her as she gasped outwards and reached for her guns as she fired at Bayonetta and hit him, sending him flying back as Max, Gwen, Jen and Allison stood by each other as Scarlett ran by her.)
Max: "Hex is up to his old tricks again."
(Max realized as Scarlett smiled.)
Scarlett: "Hello, my friend. We meet again."
(Scarlett said.)
Jen: "What are you doing here, Scarlett? I didn't call you."
(Jen said.)
Scarlett: "For the same reason that Hex is here. That Keystone."
(she said, pointing at Gwen's bracelet.)
Gwen: "You'll have to explain why later. For now, this looks like a job for Lucky Girl."
(Gwen said as she ran off and Bayonetta dodged Hex's magic blasts before sending out spells from her hands as well, countering them as well.)
(Scarlett then nodded as Bayonetta ducked behind her and she activated her shield and blocked another one of the blasts from Enchantress' hands.)
Scarlett: "I'm the Scarlet Warrior by the way."
(she said as she shook Allison's hand.)
Scarlett: "But call me Scarlett."
Allison: "Allison Levin."
(she said.)
Scarlett: "Everyone, this is Bayonetta, my head sorceress."
(Scarlett said as Bayonetta bowed to them from behind the shield.)
Scarlett: "She's the Scarlet Army's head of magic strategies and battle."
Jen: "Another magician?"
(Jen asked.)
Bayonetta: "Please."
(Bayonetta said with a sigh.)
Bayonetta: "I prefer witch."
Jen: "A real life witch?"
(Jen asked in awe as she smiled.)
Bayonetta: "Don't fangirl with me, m'kay?"
(Bayonetta asked as she pulled out a whip with a snake's head at the end.)
Hex: "Give me the keystone or I will destroy you all!"
(Hex shouted.)
Lucky Girl: "You forgot to say 'pretty please!'"
(Lucky Girl shouted as she leapt onto the stage with a glare as her bracelet glowed in the light.)
Hex: "The keystone and Lucky Girl?"
(Hex asked before chuckling.)
Hex: "How convenient?"
(That was when Wildmutt ran in and tackled Hex and started knawing at his staff as Jen glared at Enchantress, who glared at her as she braced herself.)
Jen: "I don't know who you are, but you're about to become cat food!"
(she shouted as she slammed her Omnitrix core down.)
(Her blood vessels pumped abnormally before they travelled up to her eyes and when she shot them open, her sclera turned green and her pupils contracted into feline slits.)
(Her body started cracking and snapping as her mass built up to that of a teenager and her skin erupted in pink fur with blue stripes.)
(Her hair grew longer into a mane-like state.)
(She rose to the camera and her teeth sharpened to fangs and her face pushed out into a anthro feline muzzle and then the camera shot to the rear view as a long pink and blue striped tail shot out of her spine.)
(She rose her arms up, shot out her claws from her hands and slammed them against the ground and gave a mighty roar like the tigress she now was as the transformation ended.)
(Wildcat growled and snarled at Enchantress as she tackled her off the stage as she bore her claws at her and dodged the spells that she released from her hands.)
(She then dodged the magic beams from her eyes as she growled and scratched at the sorceress.')
Enchantress: "Charmcaster! Do something!"
(she shouted.)
Charmcaster: "Yes, Enchantress!"
(she said as she bowed.)
(She then unzipped her charm bag and tossed some grey magic disks out and hit Wildmutt in the face with a glare, distracting him as she glared.)
(Hex then glared and fired yellow magic beams from his eyes that blasted Wildmutt back and sent him sprawling into his sister, sending them crashing into a magic booth.)
(Lucky Girl then tried to sneak up behind Charmcaster, but she was ready for her.)
(She then threw her disks at her again, sending her flying back before she was hit by a magic blast herself as she glared.)
(She then saw Scarlett glaring with her hands smoking as she reached and grabbed her sword.)
Charmcaster: "You'll pay for that."
(she said as she tossed her disk away and tossed a magic disk at her that increased in side as it rolled towards Scarlett as she gasped and gave out a punch to it that pushed it back slightly before she gasped out with all her strength as Bayonetta ran towards the disk.)
(She then leaped upwards and landed a strong kick against the disk that sent it sprawling away as she glared.)
Bayonetta: "You are so dead!"
(Bayonetta said.)
(Enchantress flew up to help before Lucky Girl laid a hard kick to Enchantress that caused her to slide back and she glared as Charmcaster ran to her sister and helped her up.)
Lucky Girl: "If you're paling around with Hex, you're no friends of mine."
(Lucky Girl said.)
(That was when Hex grabbed her arm with a glare.)
Hex: "There are two kinds of luck, child."
(he said.)
Hex: "Let me show you the bad kind."
Lucky Girl: "Guess what."
(Lucky Girl said with a smile.)
Lucky Girl: "I'm not just lucky anymore. I'm totally kick butt!"
(She then grabbed Hex and flipped him downwards onto his back, causing him to groan out as he stood up and glared at his rival.)
Hex: "Even with your new powers, you are no match for a master magician! Now give me the Keystone!"
(As he was monologuing, he failed to notice as Wildcat and Wildmutt pushed a speaker from the stage down on top of him with a glare.)
(He gasped as the speaker landed on top of him.)
Lucky Girl: "Finders, keepers, skull face!"
(Lucky Girl shouted.)
Enchantress: "And losers, weepers?"
(Enchantress asked as she reached into her pouch and tossed out some brown and pink marble figures at the group's feet.)
Lucky Girl: "Is that the best you got?"
(Lucky Girl asked.)
(That was when the figures started glowing before they grew into large stone canine beasts in front of them as Scarlett and Bayonetta landed in front of Lucky Girl with a glare.)
Scarlett: "Then again, that's pretty good."
(The beasts growled as Scarlett lit her hands up in flame.)
(She tossed fireballs at them with a glare before she fired a kick at one, sending it off as Bayonetta engaged in battle with the other one, cracking her whip at it with a glare.)
Bayonetta: "Back! Back!"
(she shouted.)
(The beast growled as it was hit by the whip with a glare before Bayonetta sighed and backfipped against its claws before she turned into a puff of bats with a burst of smoke before reforming and summoning an iron maiden that opened on its own.)
(She then kicked the beast into the iron maiden and snapped her fingers as the maiden closed and exploded in a puff of smoke.)
(Wildmutt and Wildcat ran in and tackled Enchantress and Charmcaster with a glare as they fought off of them with a glare.)
Charmcaster: "Get off of me, dog breath!"
(Charmcaster shouted as she summoned a totem from her charm bag that sent Wildmutt off of him.)
(Wildcat snarled and nipped at Enchantress' neck as she glared.)
Enchantress: "I've always hated cats!"
(she said as she landed a magically charged punch at her and sent her flying into her brother again.)
Charmcaster: "See you around, fido."
(Charmcaster said as she tossed some brown marbles at their feet that exploded outwards, sending them crashing down into the stage's basement.)
(Allison got the better of them, however, and tossed the speaker into the sisters again with the strength she gained from absorbing the metal from her bullet, knocking them out.)
Hex: "ENOUGH!"
(Hex shouted out as Max ran up and he sent out a telekinetic blast from her staff that caught them off guard, sending them all back through the stages' curtains and out the back door into the hotel's botanical gardens and hedge maze.)
(They almost instantly got up as Scarlett hoisted herself onto her feet with her sword with a glare.)
Max: "Where are the twins?"
(Max asked.)
(That was when they saw Charmcaster's marble figures roll towards them as Scarlett sighed.)
(They ran away from the stone beasts with a shout as Scarlett and Bayonetta fired their magical blasts back at them as they shrugged them all off.)
Scarlett: "Split up!"
(Scarlett shouted.)
(They nodded as Scarlett and Bayonetta split up at the sides of the maze as two of the beasts followed them and Gwen and Max split up and hid behind a corner as the beast ran right by them.)
(Bayonetta glared on her end as she hid behind a corner as the beast ran by her.)
(She then ran up to him and kicked out as she fired the guns that were strapped into her boots that blasted the beast against the wall.)
(She then glared as she brought out her sword, jumped up and sliced the beast into tiny chunks of stone that rained down upon her.)
(She then sighed, flipped her hair and took out a lollipop.)
Bayonetta: "I've taken on angels, demons and sages with powers the likes of which you can't possibly imagine. You magicians are mere childs' play."
(Scarlett engaged her beast head on as she flicked her wrists and summoned her sword and Keyblade.)
Scarlett: "I am so not in the mood."
(Scarlett said as she twirled her blades as the beast leaped at her before she blocked it with her sword and then whacked her with her Keyblade as she gave out a war cry towards her opponent as she shot out heat beams from her eyes that blasted it to bits as she dusted off her shoulders from it.)
Scarlett: "Now to find Hex."
(she said as she ran off.)
(Speaking of which, Hex and his nieces appeared in a puff of smoke that rose from the hotel and they walked forward.)
Hex: "Circle around and drive them to me."
(Hex ordered as his nieces bowed.)
Both: "Yes uncle."
(they said as they ran off in opposite directions.)
(Soon after, everyone was taking off around the hedge maze, racing around to avoid the beasts.)
(Max soon came to a dead end as the final stone beast came towards him with a glare... until the twins got in the way and destroyed him with a single punch each.)
(It was at that point that the Omnitrixes timed out.)
Max: "Are you two okay?"
(Max asked.)
Ben: "Yeah, we're fine."
(Ben said.)
Jen: "Where's Lucky Girl?"
(Jen asked.)
