Chapter 215 - Chapter 215: Old Enemies Is Here

(The Rust Bucket drove down the road as the gang regrouped with their suits still on but without their masks as they tried to figure out what was going on.)

(Max was not at the wheel but at the RV's computer typing something in.)

Jen: "Uh, Grandpa?"

(Jen asked.)

Jen: "Who's driving this thing?"

Max: "Autopilot."

(Max said.)

Max: "Cooper rigged it up. Real work saver."

Allison: "Wow, he really is good with the mechanical stuff."

(Allison said, impressed.)

Cooper: "Grandpa says that my brain looks like the inside of a computer."

(Cooper said as he went to work on some more of the gadgets.)

(Max pressed a button that showed a computer screen showing the United States and white dots along all of the country's major cities.)

Max: "These dots symbolize all of the closed Plumber facilities."

Becky: "Huh?"

(Becky asked as they looked to see one dot flashing red.)

Becky: "Why is the one in Seattle flashing?"

Max: "It's an alarm."

(Max said.)

Max: "That can't be a coincidence."

Ben: "Let's go kick some circus freak butt."

(Ben said as he and his sister high-fived.)

Max: "Unfortunately, even at turbo speed, it's doubtful that we can get there in time to stop them."

(Max said.)

Cooper: "Well."

(Cooper said, standing up.)

Cooper: "While the five of you were playing two-square, I did mess around with the turbo boost system a little."

Max: "Buckle in, everyone."

(Max said as they all ran to their seats and buckled up into the seats while Max nodded.)

Max: "Okay, Cooper. Let's take this first tour and see if she's got a little extra giddyup."

(Max pressed the button and then the RV lost its extra features, spread out its fins from its top and sides and the boost engine deployed before they shot out like a bullet from a gun down the road at hyper fast speeds.)

Jen: "THIS IS SO COOL!"

(Jen shouted.)

Ben: "That kid definitely has some skills!"

(Ben said as they all felt their skin ripple from the intense speeds.)

(The Rust Bucket reached Seattle at nightfall as Max nodded.)

Max: "Coming up on downtown Seattle, you guys."

(Max said.)

Max: "We can throw out the anchor and start slowing this puppy down."

(Cooper's eyes widened and he gulped.)

Cooper: "Uh-oh..."

Becky: "What do you mean, 'uh-oh?'"

(Becky asked.)

Gwen: "Please tell me that you didn't forget the super-duper brakes to go with the super duper turbo!"

(Gwen shouted.)

Ben: "Don't worry, Gwen."

(Ben said as he and Jen activated their Omnitrixes.)

Ben: "We've got your back."

(They slammed down the cores and transformed into Diamondhead and Blossom Rose.)

(Diamondhead held his sister's hand as he grew spikes from his feet like cleats as they walked on the roof, almost losing their balance once or twice.)

Blossom Rose: "Whoa!"

(Blossom Rose said.)

Blossom Rose: "Major windage!"

(Diamondhead shot some crystals out from his hands at the road that turned into a crystal roadblock.)

(Unfortunately, the Rust Bucket was going way too fast and they blasted right through the barricade.)

Diamondhead: "So much for speed bumps!"

(Diamondhead said.)

Allison: "Ben, Jen!"

(Allison shouted.)

Allison: "I hate to bother you two but we could really use a break here!"

(Blossom Rose then shouted out and shot her vines out from her hands that wrapped around two street lights as Diamondhead held her with his strong grip.)

(The vines then shot out and pulled the Rust Bucket back like a sling shot as she shouted out in effort and pain.)

(Diamondhead then created a crystal anchor and tossed it behind them to slow them down even further.)

(Becky and Gwen hugged each other in fear as they swerved off towards the Space Needle.)

(Diamondhead and Blossom Rose shouted out in effort as the Rust Bucket finally slowed to a stop just in front of the Needle.)

Diamondhead: "What did we tell you? No problem."

(Diamondhead said as Blossom Rose broke the vines from her hands.)

Gwen: "Yeah, tell that to the Seattle road crew."

(Gwen said as the girls all put their masks back on and Allison hefted the team's energy cannon over her shoulder.)

(They then heard a ton of screaming as the civilians ran out of the Needle's entrance in fear as a swarm of wasps flew out from the open doors.)

Blossom Rose: "Okaaaay..."

(Blossom Rose said.)

Blossom Rose: "I knew that the Circus Freaks had flies, but wasps?"

Huntress: "I'm starting to think that the Circus Freaks are just pawns myself."

(Huntress said as she nervously readied her bow.)

(The wasp swarm blasted into the twins and slammed them into a nearby car as they struggled to their feet.)

Matter Girl: "Guys, look!"

(Matter Girl said.)

(Everyone looked and saw the wasps swarm around an area in the street before dispersing to reveal a familiar figure in an overcoat and hood.)

Lucky Girl: "That's Clancy!"

(Lucky Girl gasped.)

Diamondhead: "No way!"

(Diamondhead said.)

Diamondhead: "The bug guy?"

Blossom Rose: "But I thought he was gone for good!"

(Blossom Rose said.)

(Clancy growled out and shot his arms out, firing a massive swarm of wasps towards out heroes as Matter Girl absorbed the blacktop from the street and shouted out as she took on the brunt of the attack, the bees doing nothing to her thanks to her armor as Diamondhead created a crystal wall to protect the Omni-Team that the wasps shot right through as Matter Girl was tossed back from the force of the wasps and into Lucky Girl's arms as she used her telekinesis on her.)

(The team then glared out towards the homeless villain and Matter Girl aimed the energy cannon and blasted outwards as Diamondhead fired several crystals outwards as they all blasted outwards with a shout.)

(The relentless assault sliced Clancy's clothes to shreds and revealed his new form.)

(He was now a mutant anthropomorphic insect, with a green exoskeleton, yellow eyes on stalks, antennae, a pair of extra arms below his main clawed pair, and silk wings on his back.)

Blossom Rose: "That is so wrong."

(Blossom Rose said.)

(Clancy growled and flapped his insect wings upwards to avoid the crystals and thorns and laser blasts outwards that he easily avoided with his swift movements.)

(He landed on a street light and opened his maw to blast out a swarm of hornets towards our heroes.)

(Blossom Rose fired a cloud of natural pesticide outwards that caused a large amount of hornets to drop dead while another swarm of hornets flew outwards and scooped up Cooper and brought him towards the mutant insect.)

(Lucky Girl's hands glowed blue and she positioned them powerfully.)

Lucky Girl: "Galeas Disruptus!"

(She shot her hands outwards and a gust of strong wind blew outwards and disrupted the swarm and sent Cooper falling as Huntress ran outwards and caught the technical kid as he fell downwards and they hit the floor with a grunt.)

(Clancy glared at the kids and flew away from the scene.)

Cooper: "Thanks."

(Cooper told the girls.)

Cooper: "You saved my life."

Lucky Girl: "No problem."

(Lucky Girl said.)

Lucky Girl: "That's what friends are for."

(She stuck her tongue out to the others as they glared at her.)

Matter Girl: "Whatever."

(Matter Girl said as she disarmed the cannon.)

Matter Girl: "Let's get up to the top of the Needle."

(The group of seven went inside and walked into the elevator.)

(Max typed in a code onto the keypad and turned to the others as the elevator started going up.)

Diamondhead: "The Plumbers' annex is near the top. The Circus Freaks are probably still up there."

(The group waited patiently in the elevator as they listened to the music playing over the speakers.)

(Suddenly, they heard a loud crash coming from above them and Blossom Rose gulped as Huntress unsheathed her spear.)

Matter Girl: "...What was that noise?"

(Matter Girl asked.)

Diamondhead: "It's coming from on top of the elevator."

(Diamondhead said.)

(Suddenly, an armored fist burst through the roof of the elevator and ripped a hole in it to reveal...)

Blossom Rose: "Rojo!"

(Blossom Rose shouted.)

(Rojo now wore an alien tech suit was primarily grey and came with a red head guard and red shoulder pads.)

(She wore her skull emblem on her chest.)

Max: "But how did she get her alien tech back?"

(Max asked.)

Rojo: "Sorry Omni-Team."

(Rojo said.)

Rojo: "This elevator's no longer in service. Going down!"

(She then grew claws from her armored hand and sliced the elevator cables, sending our heroes shooting down the shaft while she shot up as the cables went upwards.)

(Our heroes screamed as Diamondhead morphed his hands into blades and Matter Girl absorbed the metal from the cannon and morphed her hands into blades as well.)

Matter Girl: "Emergency stop!"

(Matter Girl shouted as they stabbed their arms into the sides of the elevator, forcing it to stop as they looked down in relief.)

Huntress: "That was a close one."

(Huntress said.)

(Max then gave the kids a boost onto the roof of the elevator and Diamondhead boosted the group up to the top level where they exited and leaped out into the Plumbers annex where they all immediately ducked and hid from the view of the villians in their sights.)

(They saw a giant hole in the wall and saw the crates being searched and tossed aside by Rojo along with...)

Lucky Girl: "Enchantress too?"

(Lucky Girl asked.)

Lucky Girl: "Seriously? Is everyone who hates us in on this thing?"

Rojo: "Heh."

(Rojo said, putting her hands on her hips.)

Rojo: "You should've seen the looks on the Omni-Team's faces when I cut the main cable. Priceless."

Enchantress: "How come you got to reduce them to a bloody pulp instead of me, Rojo?"

Rojo: "Just lucky I guess."

(Enchantress glared at the armored vigilante.)

Blossom Rose: "Okay, here's the plan."

(Blossom Rose said.)

Blossom Rose: "We divide up and ambush them from both sides. Girls get Enchantress, boys get Rojo."
