Ben And Jen 10: The Ultimate Omni-Twins Journey

Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Grandpa Max's Age Reverse



(Suddenly, they heard a panicked shout coming from the crowd as they scattered as they saw Hex levitating overhead and he glared down at our heroes as they glared.)

Hex: "You can hide from me no longer, Guardian!"

Everyone: "Hex!"

(they all shouted taking no notice of Hector turning and running.)

Ben: "He looks older."

(Ben said.)

Gwen: "Don't worry."

(Gwen said.)

Gwen: "We drained him and Enchantress of all their powers, remember."

Allison: "He still looks pretty powerful to me."

(Allison said as he glared.)

Allison: "Bring it on."

Jen: "We kicked your butt before, Hex."

(Jen glared.)

Jen: "We'll do it again."

Hex: "I will deal with you six later."

(Hex glared.)

Hex: "Kalecky Erupt!"

(He pointed his staff at them and a red light flashed from it, causing the ground beneath them to shoot up with rocks, sending the five heroes flying away, leaving Hector standing in fear.)

Hex: "And you now!"

(Hector gulped and turned to run, but Hex was two steps ahead of him.)

(He was instantly in front of him in a flash.)

Hex: "Look at me. Too much time has already been taken. Where is it?!"

Hector: "Uh, um..."

(Hector began.)

Jen: "Yo, Hex! Haven't you ever heard of the word 'please?!'"

(Jen shouted as she and Ben ran up to him and prepared their Omnitrixes.)

Hex: "Bretov Alagoria!"

(He pointed his staff at the flying octopus ride and levitated one of the seats from its foundation and sent it flying at the twins.)

(They gasped and ducked, sending the seat flying towards the dunk tank, shattering it and soaking our heroes and Max with the water in the area.)

Hex: "The location! Now!"

Hector: "I was sworn to keep it a secret!"

(Hector shouted.)

Hex: "It's not nice to keep secrets!"

(Angered, Hex tossed Hector away from him as the others rushed up to the twins and Max as they stood up.)

Becky: "He may look older, but he's still pretty powerful."

(Becky said as she prepared.)

Jen: "So are we."

(Jen said, preparing her Omnitrix.)

Ben: "Going hero!"

(Ben said as the twins slammed down the cores in a flash of green and pink light.)

(Ben's Omnitrix sank into his wrist and his entire body started to bloat into a more rounded shape as he clutched his eyes shut.)

(And when he opened them again, they were fully golden.)

(His body was covered in yellow armored plates with a white inner body with black markings on his eyes and the Omnitrix symbol appeared on his forehead.)

(He spun his body around like a ball before striking a pose as his transformation finished.)

(Jen's Omnitrix sank into her wrist and chlorophyll started to pulse through her veins, replacing the blood in her system.)

(As a result, her skin turned a pale green and her eyes turned a full glowing pink.)

(Her clothes morphed into a flower petal-like dress of pink, red and white colors.)

(The Omnitrix symbol growing on the clasp and her shoes morphed into leaf-like flats.)

(Her hair morphed itself into a green flower-like bud on her head and she struck a pose, ending the transformation.)

Blossom Rose: "Okay, slingshot time."

(Blossom Rose said as Cannonbolt rolled into his ball form.)

(She then cracked her joints and then shot her vines out and wrapped them around two stands' metal poles and formed a slingshot.)

(Allison absorbed the concrete nearby and walked up to Cannonbolt's shelled body and pulled him backwards on the makeshift slingshot as she shouted out and sent him flying and colliding into Hex, sending them both flying into the spinning seat ride, where they spun around the spinning top part of the mechanism.)

(The others suited up and ran over to assist Cannonbolt in his endeavors.)

(Max, meanwhile, helped Hector out of the barrel he was blasted into and helped him to his feet.)

Max: "What does Hex want with you?"

Hector: "Something so powerful and secret. If the truth was revealed, then the world would never be the same."

(As the action was taking place, a portal opened up and Scarlett stepped through with a new soldier.)

(She wore a shirt that was split in light blue, in the front, and dark blue, on the back, with decorative patterns on the front.)

(She also had long dark blue arm warmers that reached her shoulders and revealed her fingers.)

(She had a fur pelt that was slight purple in color with white fur lining attached to a belt on her pants which were slim and had brown boots with a purple diamond shaped at the top.)

(She had brown hair that was done in a low ponytail, with edges of hair flaming both sides of her face and bright cyan eyes and had a long katana strapped to the side of her belt.)

???: "So, this is where our mission is? It looks so... ordinary."

(she said.)

Scarlett: "This place is anything but ordinary, Korra."

(Scarlett said as she put her hand to her temple and gave out a deep breath and the two ran over to the area where the dunk tank crashed and Scarlett nodded.)

Korra: "Well?"

(Korra asked.)

(Scarlett scooped some of the water up in her mouth and sipped and shook her head.)

Scarlett: "This definitely isn't normal water."

(She took out a vial and Korra posed her hands and moved them in a circular pattern as the water raised upwards and levitated into the beaker.)

Scarlett: "Celestia, I'm sending you a sample of the water I found at the signal you sent me."

Celestia: "Very well, my friend."

(Celestia said as Scarlett cast a spell on the beaker, teleporting it to the Mystic Isles.)

(Scarlett looked to see Cannonbolt and Hex fly out of the mechanism and Cannonbolt smashed onto the hard ground.)

Scarlett: "While we're here, I think I should introduce you to my charges."

(Scarlett said as she took out her swords and run to the area with Korra by her side.)

Korra: "Very well, my Queen."

(Korra said as she ran over to join her leader.)

(Cannonbolt glared towards the evil wizard and charged towards him, but he was ready this time.)

(Hex grasped his staff like a baseball bat and whacked Cannonbolt, sending him flying right into the paths of Lucky Girl, Matter Girl and Huntress, who screamed before running off as Cannonbolt crashed into the ground, the knockback sending them flying into the bumper car arena.)

Matter Girl: "Ow."

(Matter Girl groaned in pain, rubbing her aching joints.)

Lucky Girl: "That could've gone better."

(Lucky Girl said.)

Huntress: "You think?"

(Hex walked over to the spinning teacups and glared as Hector hid from view, just as Scarlett and Korra appeared in front of him with a glare.)

Korra: "Can we get this over with?"

(Korra asked.)

Korra: "I promised Mako that I would be at dinner at 6 a.m."

Scarlett: "Your boyfriend will understand."

(Scarlett said as she looked at Hector and showed her enchantlet.)

Hector: "A Protector."

(he said.)

Hector: "Your exploits are legendary in the multiverse."

Scarlett: "We'll take it from here, sweetie."

(Scarlett smiled as Korra levitated up two large rocks and glared at Hex and Scarlett lit her hands up in flames.)

(Max approached as well.)

Max: "You'll have to get past us to get to him."

Hector: "That can be arranged."

(he said as Korra crushed the boulders together and created a ton of pebble bullets that she tossed towards Hex while Scarlett thrust forward two flamethrowers from her hands with a shout of effort.)

(Hex fired a similar spell from his staff towards them and deflected the pebbles and sent a blast towards Scarlett, sending her flying backwards, crashing into the water from the dunk tank, cutting herself on the glass.)

(She groaned in pain as she looked at her wound from the broken glass before the skin sealed itself shut in a few seconds, but the pain was still slowly ebbing away as she rushed over.)

(Korra pulled out her sword with a shout, but Hex simply used his telekinesis to send her flying back into the carousel.)

(That left Max standing there.)

(Hex sent out a telekinetic blast, sending Max crashing into a teacup and the teacup crashed on top of him.)

(Hex then looked to see Lucky Girl, Matter Girl and Huntress flew towards him in an enchanted bumper car while Cannonbolt rolled towards him and Korra ran up and fired two flamethrowers from her hands towards him and Blossom Rose fired her solar beam at him.)

(Thinking quickly, he snapped his fingers and disappeared in a puff of red smoke.)

(Korra gasped and quickly raised three rock walls from the ground, causing them to crash into each other and not harm each other while the Omnitrixes timed out, transforming back.)

(Scarlett walked back up to them and sighed.)

Jen: "Scarlett."

(Jen said, bowing to her.)

Scarlett: "You're too kind."

(Scarlett said.)

Scarlett: "I'm sure that you've already met Korra. As the Avatar, she has the power to control and manipulate the four elements: fire, air, water and earth."

Korra: "Pleased to meet you."

(Korra said, shaking Jen's hand.)

Korra: "Scarlett has told us much about you and your family. It'll be my honor to fight alongside you."

Max: "Ben, Jen, Gwen! Under here!"

(Max said.)

(The kids gasped as Scarlett and Korra ran over and used their strong muscles to lift the teacup.)

Ben: "Are you okay, Grandpa?"

(Ben asked.)

(All 7 of the group gasped and Jen's eye twitched.)

(Max had suddenly decreased in height and muscle mass and his grey hair was replaced with red and his skin was free of any wrinkles.)

(His clothes were also noticeably baggier.)

Max: "You know, I've never felt better. I almost feel like a kid again!"

Jen: "We may have problems."

(Jen said.)

Scarlett: "Hex was here."

(Scarlett said, crossing her arms.)

Scarlett: "Where's Charmcaster?"

Jen: "You mean Hope?"

(Jen asked.)

Jen: "We haven't seen her... But considering her uncle's up to his old tricks again she should be arriving momentarily."

(A flash of purple smoke appeared and the young magician stepped out with a smile.)

Hope: "I came as soon as I was sure that Hex came and... whoa."

(Hope stopped herself when she saw Max.)

Hope: "Who's he?"

Allison: "Max."

(Allison said, crossing her arms.)

Korra: "Avatar Korra, nice to meet you."

(Korra said, shaking her hand.)

Ben: "Grandpa Max, you're like... us."

(Ben said.)

Becky: "This is so awkward."

(Becky said, shivering.)

(Max looked into his scanner and gasped at his reflection.)

Max: "I'm young? I'm a kid again!"

Gwen: "What do you think Hex did to you?"

(Gwen asked.)

Max: "Besides getting rid of my grey hair, my big gut and my bad back? Not much."

Scarlett: "In all my years of magic, I've never seen a spell like this."

(Scarlett said.)

Scarlett: "And I'm over 300 years old."

(Max then ran off and did a frontflip over a nearby bench, causing a nearby kid to lose his grip on his ice cream.)

Max: "Hey, I can do somersaults again!"

kid: "Hey! Watch where you're going, loser!"

(Max ran off again as Gwen and Becky glared.)

Becky: "That's no loser! That's our grandpa!"

(Becky shouted.)

Hope: "He's not even my grandfather and even I'm uncomfortable."

(Hope said, shivering as Korra sighed and shook her head.)

Korra: "You're telling me, sister. And I just met the guy."

(Korra said.)

(Max handed the kid a replacement ice cream and had his own with three scoops.)

Max: "Forget about watching what I eat anymore. I got rocky road, mint chip and Chunka-Hunka Bubble! Real pieces of bubble gum in every bite. See?"

(He then blew a bubble into Gwen's face, causing gum to go onto her face and she peeled it off.)

Gwen: "Forget about what my sister said."

(Gwen told the kid.)

Gwen: "I've never seen this kid before in my life."

(The kid shrugged and walked away.)

Jen: "Now, act your age."

(Jen seethed to Max.)

Max: "Okay."

(Max said.)

Max: "...How old am I now?"

Ben: "You look about 10."

(Ben said.)

Allison: "We have to turn you back."

(Allison said.)

Gwen: "I'm getting my spellbook."

(Gwen said.)

Hope: "I'll see what I can do as well."

(Hope said.)

Max: "Wait."

(Max said.)

Max: "No aches, no pains. I want to enjoy this for awhile."

Jen: "Hello!"

(Jen said.)

Jen: "Hex is on the loose. And he's obviously after something major important. Otherwise, Scarlett and Korra wouldn't be here."

Scarlett: "Exactly."

(Scarlett said with a nod.)

Scarlett: "If I'm right, what Hex is after is what we're here for."

Max: "I never realized that your sister and Gwen were such spoil sports."

(Max said.)

Ben: "Tell me about it."

(Ben said.)

(Korra glared and snapped her fingers in front of Max's face with a glare.)

Max: "You're right, Gwen."

(Max sighed.)

Max: "We'll figure this out... right after we play tag! You're it!"

(He patted Jen and ran away as the others glared after him.)

Gwen: "Oh, this can't be happening to me."

(Gwen said with a groan as the twins shrugged and ran after Max, giggling.)

Scarlett: "Feel free to study what happened to him while we investigate the dunk tank."

(Scarlett said as she and Korra left.)

Hope: "I'll help you, Gwen."

(Hope said with a nod.)
