Brenda: "I'm so hacked off at my dad."
(Brenda said as the girls stood on Jen's statue with Maddie's dog by her side in Zoey's lap.)
Maddie: "You too?"
Brenda: "Yeah, I was supposed to see him last night but he was a no-show as always."
Maddie: "My mom promised me I could join the action but she totally went back on her word and locked us in my room."
(Maddie said.)
Maddie: "And I could've helped her kick Anti-Omni's butt after he broke in. But it's too late for that now."
Zoey: "Miranda, look, I know you're mad."
(Zoey said.)
Zoey: "But that's no reason to never talk to your mom again."
Maddie: "Just watch me."
(Maddie said.)
Maddie: "I'm going to prove to her that I can be a real hero with or without her help."
Brenda: "Did you say Anti-Omni?"
(Brenda asked.)
Brenda: "I've heard rumors of her. She's bad news. She just showed up on the grid. I heard she was from the Null Void."
Maddie: "She was."
(Maddie said.)
Maddie: "Oh, and you know what else, Brenda? Mom moved the Null Void chamber without telling me. She doesn't trust me at all to be a hero!"
Brenda: "Well, if Anti-Omni escaped from it, I wonder who else did."
(Brenda asked.)
Brenda: "It might need to be fixed. But I bet your mom and her team can take care of it."
Maddie: "Or... we can fix it ourselves!"
(Maddie said.)
Zoey: "Yeah."
(Zoey said as Maddie grabbed her hoverboard.)
Zoey: "But you don't even know where it is."
Maddie: "C'mon, girls."
(Maddie said as they got on their hoverboards and flew away, dog in tow.)
(The girls regrouped outside of the headquarters' garage and saw the Rust Bucket outside and the dog looked upwards as Maddie shushed them.)
Brenda: "What are we doing here?"
(Brenda asked.)
Brenda: "What does the Rust Bucket have to do with-"
(Maddie shushed her hurriedly.)
Brenda: "My Aunt Allison always goes over to work at her restaurant right now."
(Allison exited the vehicle, now clad in her black chef's coat before she cracked her knuckles and walked over to her motorcycle, firing it up and then peeled out of the driveway and towards he restaurant.)
(Maddie cleared her throat and walked over to the now empty Rust Bucket.)
System: "Voice recognition: Tennyson 8."
(The door opened, accepting her invitation as she, Zoey and Brenda walked into the car and started looking at the teched out controls.)
Zoey: "There's got to be some sort of button around here."
(Zoey said.)
Zoey: "Help us look, Brenda."
Brenda: "And search for what?"
(Brenda asked.)
Maddie: "Duh."
(Maddie said.)
Maddie: "The Null Void Containment Unit. My mom's always giving Null Void eggs to my Uncle Kevin and Aunt Allison."
Zoey: "And sometimes my Mom and Aunt Gwen."
(Zoey said with a nod.)
Maddie: "I always thought that they were taking them downstairs to the containment unit."
(Maddie said.)
Maddie: "But the unit's been moved."
Brenda: "Well how's a containment unit that big supposed to fit in some crummy little R.V.?"
(Brenda asked.)
Maddie: "You'll see."
(Maddie told her friend.)
Maddie: "We've got to speed this up."
(In a flash of pink light, Maddie transformed into a green humanoid frog with grey metallic eyebrows.)
(She wore a blue, black and white jumpsuit covering all except for her arms and feet, as well as a grey and black mask.)
(She bore the pink Omnitrix symbol on her back.)
Zoey: "Slapback? NIce call."
(Zoey said as she immediately pushed her cousin over, knocking her down and as a result, she split into two separate Slapbacks that then split into three after purposely falling over again.)
Slapbacks: "Let's get to work."
(the Slapbacks said as they all searched around the Rust Bucket's interior.)
(Meanwhile, Jen, now in her short-sleeved civilian clothing, put her hands into her pockets and sighed out as she walked into The Girl and the Goth, the bar and restaurant that she and Allison co-own when they're not on Plumber duty or any of their other gigs where the bartender, her old friend Pierce Wheels, was serving and he smiled up at her as she walked in.)
Future Pierce: "Hey, Jenny."
(he said as she sighed and walked in and closed the door as Allison took notice of her from the kitchen.)
Future Pierce: "What are you doing here?"
Future Jen: "Please, don't ever ask me what I'm doing in my restaurant."
(Jen said as she sat at the bar.)
Future Allison: "Come on in."
(Allison said as she started cooking up her best friend/business partner's favorite meal.)
(Jen sighed as she took a place at the bar as Pierce gave her a beer.)
Future Pierce: "Come on, it's not that bad. Drink up."
Future Jen: "Oh, I feel like such an idiot."
(she said, running her hands through her hair.)
Future Pierce: "Well, I've felt like an idiot a few times in my life."
(Pierce said.)
Future Jen: "No, Pierce. This time... this time I screwed up everything,"
(Jen said as she bowed her head and popped open the beer.)
Future Jen: "My own daughter hates me for leaving her in the dark. I didn't want her to end up like Ben did when he became Venger, but I guess she felt like I was holding her back from her potential."
Future Allison: "Oh."
(Allison said as she brought out a plate of poutine for Jen as she started eating the fries.)
Future Jen: "I should've known that when Ben and I were kids, we were in the same boat. I was too overprotective when I should've trained her myself to be the hero I am and Ben was. And now I'm paying for it. I'm the worst mother ever. Maybe I wasn't meant to have children."
(she said, rubbing her stomach where Vilgax had slashed her, rendering her sterile.)
Future Jen: "But I guess destiny had other plans and I wanted her to be the hero that Grandpa Max wanted me to be, but I made her worse."
Future Pierce: "Maybe she needs to-"
Future Jen: "No, Pierce."
(Jen said.)
Future Jen: "She hasn't spoken to me since. She says that I have no faith in her. Maybe she's right."
Future Pierce: "Hey, look, I made so many mistakes in the past."
(Pierce said.)
Future Pierce: "I spent most of my life wishing that my knees bent the other way so I could kick my own ass. Mistakes, Jen, they're just another word for experience. Figure what you can from it and learn."
Future Jen: "The only thing I've learned is that I'm an idiot."
(Jen said.)
Future Pierce: "Well, you know the old saying some that things aren't meant to be?"
Future Jen: "Yeah."
Future Pierce: "Lot of truth in that."
(Pierce said to her with a smile.)
Future Pierce: "You've got your daughter's whole life ahead of you."
(Pierce said.)
Future Pierce: "Just figure it out. She'll come around in time. I mean, you don't want to end up like that."
(He pointed to a man in a biker suit sitting at the bar beside Jen as he chuckled at her.)
Future Pierce: "He's here every night."
(The three laughed at that as Jen shook her head.)
Future Allison: "Remember when you first found her?"
(Allison asked.)
Future Jen: "Yes, Ally. Like it was yesterday..."
(Flashback...)
(A battle raged on in the street as Jen 10,000 as Heatblast fired out her fireblasts against Kraab who was sent flying back from the intense heat that flew towards him while she transformed into Kung Fang, the blind bat ninja who drew her sword with a shout.)
Future Kraab: "Hand over the Omnitrix right now!"
(Kraab said.)
Kung Fang: "Never!"
(Kung Fang said.)
Kung Fang: "You'll have to pry it from my cold dead wrist!"
(She sliced through the energy blasts that flew towards her and she clashed with him as she flew overhead and avoided his charges.)
(Because she couldn't see him, it was impossible for him to sneak up on her due to her acute smell and hearing.)
(She then shouted out as she sliced off the smaller pincer with her sword before she morphed into Battlefly and blew him away from the district with a shout before she touched down on the floor and transformed back to her human form.)
(She then heard a baby crying nearby and gasped when she investigated the source and saw a baby in a basket crying nearby.)
(She picked up the basket and tried to calm the baby down as she held her close to her chest and then cradled her back and forth as she then teleported them both back to the headquarters.)
(After making some formula and feeding the baby to sleep, she plucked a strand of her hair outwards and put it into the DNA scanner in her computer.)
Future Jen: "Tiffany, can you please scan for this baby's parents?"
Tiffany: "I can try."
(Tiffany said as she scanned the hair through the computer and then after a few minutes confirmed the hero's fears.)
Tiffany: "I am sorry, Jen. But this girl is indeed an orphan."
Future Jen: "Really?"
(Jen asked.)
Future Jen: "I don't have the heart to send her to the orphanage."
(She then felt at the large scar on her abdomen and then walked over to the baby and cooed her.)
Future Jen: "Don't worry, little one. I'll love you and take care of you just like a mother would. I think I would like to call you... Miranda."
(Flashback End...)
Future Allison: "You're looking at this parenting thing the wrong way. You think that this is just about the hero stuff."
Future Jen: "Isn't it though?"
(Jen asked her best friend.)
Future Allison: "I may not have children, but I know from my mother that every kid has trouble when their kids grow up. You and Ben are living proof that kids need to make their own mistakes. Just give Maddie a chance."
(Allison said.)
Future Allison: "She'll earn your trust eventually."
Future Jen: "I know."
(Jen sighed as she drank her beer.)
Future Pierce: "Maybe you should stop being such a mom and start acting like yourself."
(Pierce smiled.)
Future Jen: "You know what? You're right."
(Jen smiled.)
Future Pierce: "No."
(Pierce said.)
Future Pierce: "I think you should be yourself."
(He gestured as her Omnitrix started to beep out an alert that she and Allison looked at as she glared.)
Future Allison: "I'm going out."
(Allison said as she changed out of her chef's coat and into her leather jacket.)
Future Allison: "Bobby, you're in charge!"
