(Later, they watched the Cannons, who were dressed in blue uniforms, practice on the diamond and smiled as Jen sighed.)
Ben: "There's the Cannons!"
(Ben said as he watched them.)
Ben: "I'm going to go say hi."
(He then ran in before he was tripped by two faces he hoped not to see all summer.)
Ben: "Oh no."
(he said before looking up at the two bullies before him.)
Jen: "You again!?"
(Jen shouted as she saw Cash and J.T. standing there.)
Jen: "What do I have to do? Get a restraining order on you two?!"
Cash: "Possibly."
(Cash said to her as she glared daggers at him as she helped her brother up.)
Cash: "Look, J.T. Jen still has to help her little brother."
Ben: "I'm only younger than her by three minutes!"
(Ben glared as Jen stepped up for him.)
Cash: "I thought that you two would avoid us until school started, guys."
(Cash said.)
Jen: "Sorry."
(Jen said to him.)
Jen: "My bro and I have been a little busy saving the world this summer instead, Cash."
Cash: "Oh, saving the world?!"
(Cash shouted.)
J.T: "Yeah, these two are in their own world."
(J.T. said as Jen glared and her eye twitched before they briefly flashed pink before Ben stopped her by putting a hand on her shoulder.)
Ben: "You can use your powers to prank these two punks later."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "But not when they're paying attention."
Gwen: "Friends of yours?"
(Gwen asked as she, Becky and Allison looked.)
Ben: "Hardly."
(Ben said to them.)
Ben: "Cash and J.T. are two of the biggest egomaniacs you'll ever meet."
Jen: "They constantly bully Ben worse than you ever did, Gwen."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "I'm the one who had to save him from them ever since we were in kindergarten."
???: "Luckily, they're not the only two guys from back home you'll see here, Jenny."
(a familiar voice said as Jen looked to see two girls standing beside the area and Jen gasped in glee before she squealed and ran over to her two gal pals from by her.)
Jen: "However, these two are great friends of mine!"
(Jen said as she ran over and tackled Simone and Casey in a bear hug as they smiled and hugged her back as Casey chuckled.)
Casey: "It's good to see you too, Jen."
(Casey said.)
Jen: "Simone, Casey! What are you doing here?!"
(Jen asked.)
Simone: "What you're doing here, Jen."
(Simone said as Jen released them.)
Simone:: "We're just in town to see the game. It's the finals and our hometown is in it. I guess you had the same idea."
(Jen smiled as she gestured her two friends over to the others with a huge smile on her face.)
Jen: "Guys, these are me and Ben's cousins, Gwen and Becky. Oh, and this is Allison Levin. She's another really good friend that I made on the road and she just tagged along for the ride."
(Jen said as Allison shook the two girls hands.)
Allison: "Nice to meet you."
(she said.)
Allison: "Charmed."
Simone: "You too."
(Simone said.)
Simone: "My name's Simone. Simone Nesmith."
Gwen: "Nesmith?"
(Gwen asked when she piped up.)
Gwen: "As in Carl Nesmith? Captain Nemesis himself?"
Simone: "Well, yeah."
(Simone said with a sigh.)
Simone: "He's my dad."
Allison: "Captain Nemesis is your father?"
(Allison asked as she sighed.)
Allison: "But that means that you're rich."
Simone: "Yeah."
(Simone said.)
Simone: "I try not to be snobbish about my family's wealth. I'm just trying to be an ordinary girl who just happens to have a lot of money."
Casey: "Not to be left out, but I'm Casey Animal."
(she said as she sighed.)
Casey: "You may have heard of my uncle, Aloysius James Animo."
(A record scratching sound was heard and they all looked to her as she rubbed her arm.)
Ben: "Dr. Animo is your uncle?"
(Ben asked, looking to her with a raised eyebrow.)
Casey: "Don't worry, Ben. I'm actually against everything that he stood for as a scientist."
(she said.)
Casey: "I love animals and to see my own flesh and blood horrifically mutate them against their will was just sickening to me. He got what was coming to him thanks to those wonderful Omni Twins."
Jen: "I'm not going to judge you for your uncle's doings."
(Jen said as she smiled.)
Jen: "You're one of the best friend's I've ever had and your family's doings aren't going to change that."
Casey: "Thanks."
(Casey said to her as she looked to Allison.)
Casey: "So, this is your new friend, huh?"
(Allison shook her head and nodded.)
Allison: "Watch yourself, girl. You know how we do it in New York."
Simone: "Ooh, New Yorker."
(Simone said to her with a smirk.)
Simone: "I like your kind."
Jen: "So, you got tickets?"
Simone: "Well."
(Simone said with a smile as she reached into her pockets and smiled.)
Simone: "You could say that. Being Carl Nesmith's daughter has its perks. I could, in theory rent out one of the stadium suites for you and your family. Plus me, Casey and Allison of course."
Jen and Gwen: "Really?!"
(Jen and Gwen asked before they immediately grabbed Simone.)
Jen: "Oh, Simone! You're the best friend ever! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Simone: "Choking... not breathing..."
(Simone said before Jen released her from her grasp with a smile.)
Jen: "Sorry, force of habit."
(she said as Allison shrugged.)
Ben: "So."
(Ben said, turning back to Cash and J.T.)
Ben: "How did you two je- I mean guys get on the team anyway?"
Cash: "Talent."
(Cash said.)
Cash: "100% pure talent."
J.T: "Oh, and four guys got chicken pox."
(J.T. said before Cash elbowed him in the arm, causing him to yelp out in pain.)
Ben: "What?! That means I could've made the team too!"
(Ben said.)
Becky: "Yeah, by default."
(Becky said to him with a shrug.)
(Suddenly, a baseball went sailing through the sky, which caused everybody to duck out of the way of the path as a member of the opposing team, the Squires, caught it perfectly.)
(They were wearing brown and black uniforms with a shield emblem with a K emblazoned on it.)
Cash: "Came here for a preview for what we're going to do to you in the finals!?"
the player: "The score in our last game was 28-3."
(one of the players said.)
the player: "This one's not gonna be that close."
J.T: "Yeah, well I'd like to see that!"
(J.T. said before Cash elbowed him again.)
(Gwen then looked out and saw three of the Squires throwing the balls for practice in perfect unison and toss them parallel to three more players on the other side.)
(Unfortunately, the 9 kids were gathered in the path of the balls before they all hit the deck and leaped over the wire fence to get out of the path.)
Gwen: "Hey!"
(Gwen shouted.)
Gwen: "Watch it!"
Jen: "Hello! In case you didn't notice, we're not wearing uniforms!"
(Jen shouted with crossed arms.)
(That was when they heard the sound of fingers snapping and who appeared to be the Squires' coach stepped out.)
the coach: "Excellent drill."
(the coach said.)
Max: "Drill?!"
(Max asked as Simone and Casey stood by his side.)
Max: "They almost took those kids' heads off!"
the coach: "Maybe next time they'll stay out of the way. Good luck, Cannons. You'll need it."
(He then blew on his whistle as the Squires moved into a single-file line before marching off with the kids looking on with weird looks on their faces.)
(Cash then picked up a stray ball.)
Cash: "Oh yeah? Well you forgot something!"
(He then tossed the ball towards one of the player's heads, only for him to catch it with the backhand without even looking back, leaving everyone stunned.)
(This act even caught the attention of the young woman on the motorcycle, who was now dressed in a purple and yellow dress with a high boot on her left leg and gloves as she carried her backpack over her hands as she glared after them.)
(Her dress also concealed a purple cybernetic leg.)
???: "Something's definitely off about them. And I will find out what."
