(Cooper had his welding mask in place as he worked on several large robots in the laboratory as Lisa levitated the pieces into place with her telekinesis as Gwen and Becky walked over along with Lynn and Hope.)
Becky: "How's it going, you guys?"
(Becky asked.)
Cooper: "Good so far."
(Cooper said.)
Lisa: "The security drones are almost ready. I've taken a sample of each of our DNA into them so that they don't see us as a threat, but do perceive the Negative 10 as a threat."
(Lisa explained as she levitated herself downwards and adjusted her glasses.)
Gwen: "By the way, Cooper?"
(Gwen asked.)
Gwen: "We have to know. How did you open the entrance hatch outside without even laying so much as a finger on it?"
Cooper: "I'm a technopath. Sometimes when I concentrate really hard, I can sort of see inside machines and stuff like that and get them to obey my commands. It's kind of like a wi-fi in my head?"
Lynn: "Hmm... Another meta-human."
(Lynn said as she nudged Lisa.)
Lynn: "Sounds like your kinda guy, Lis."
Lisa: "Don't even bother."
(Lisa grumbled.)
Becky: "That is so cool!"
(Becky said.)
Becky: "You have superpowers."
Cooper: "It's not really that cool."
(Cooper said.)
Cooper: "I haven't practiced with my powers all that much. It gives me a major headache."
(He then closed the hatch as Lori sped by and all of the others appeared in the lab one by one.)
Hope: "I've laid my best trap spells all throughout the base. If Enchantress can't dispel them, nobdy can."
Luan: "Force field's set around the lab."
(Luan said.)
Luan: "My finest one yet."
Leni: "And my clones are patrolling the base."
(Leni said.)
Leni: "Every room has a clone in it keeping guard."
Allison: "You know that your clones aren't as powerful as the rest of us, right?"
(Allison asked.)
Leni: "Yeah, but even if they're destroyed, their mental information and memories immediately get sent back to my brain so I'll know when they're coming for us."
(Cooper walked down as he saw the defense drones suddenly extend their legs, arms and head and looked down at our heroes as Cooper grabbed an empty soda can and tossed it upwards, causing the drone to blast a laser outwards and reduce the can to dust.)
Max: "Nice job, Cooper."
(Max said as they saw him wearing some kind of robotic exoskeleton on his arms, legs, spine and head and he lifted up a giant machine as his joints made mechanical noises as he moved.)
Lynn: "Whoa."
(Lynn, the strongest member of the L-Crew, said, impressed at the feat the old man was doing.)
Jen: "Grandpa, you've been working out."
(Jen said, smiling.)
Max: "Oh, it's not me, Jen. It's just this Exo-Suit. It's alien tech that amplifies a person's own natural abilities. Cooper and Lisa got it fixed up again."
Lola: "So, the Exo-Suit could boost our powers even greater than they were before?"
(Lola asked as Max sighed.)
Max: "Well, in theory, yes. But this is already extreme for a regular human like myself. I don't want to imagine what it could do for a meta."
(Max explained.)
(He and Lynn then tossed several large chunks of debris and machines down in front of the entrance.)
Max: "Now we just need a little help from Heatblast and Firecracker to finish this barrier up."
(Heatblast and Firecracker blasted their fire blasts at the barrier, melting the machines into a super-tough mass before Frostblight and Black Ice immediately chilled it down with their ice powers, causing it to cool down and harden into a super-hard mass.)
(Crystal Princess then upped the anti by growing some extra-large pink crystals around it, strengthening the barrier even more as she smiled and dusted her hands as the Omnitrixes timed out.)
Crystal Princess: "I'd like to see the Negative 10 get past that."
(Crystal Princess smirked.)
Camille: "I wouldn't."
(Camille said, crossing her arms.)
Black Ice: "When there's a will, there's a way."
(Black Ice said as she removed her hood.)
Max: "We've done all that we can out here. All we can do now is hope."
(Max said.)
Max: "Come on, you guys. I need to double-check the sub-energy containment field."
(The alliance walked/flew through the mechanical door and through the cavernous hallway with nervous looks as they finally entered a small room containing a force field.)
Cooper: "Whoa."
(Cooper said.)
Cooper: "A real force field?"
Jen: "Hey, we make natural force fields every day."
(Jen said as she, Hope and Luan crossed their arms.)
Jen: "This is just an artificial force field."
Becky: "It's too bad that the Forever King has the keys to shut it off thanks to a certain someone's stupidity."
(Becky said, glaring at Cooper, who shrugged sadly.)
(The twins then squinted as they tried to look carefully at the forcefield.)
Ben: "Well, where is the sub-energy, Grandpa?"
(Xylene then nodded and pressed a button on the floor with her foot that rose up a section of the floor that revealed several pairs of goggles that she handed out to everybody in the alliance.)
Xylene: "The forcefield is merely a cloaking device."
(she explained.)
Xylene: "Put these goggles on. They'll allow you to see the sub-energy."
(The alliance then all put on the goggles and started looking closely through the forcefield.)
Lori: "Max."
(Lori said to the ex-Plumber.)
Lori: "What's with the static noise? We're not in contact with any radios."
Max: "The goggles amplify the sound of the forcefield."
(Max said.)
Max: "The knob on the side adjusts the volume."
(The group all slightly adjusted the goggles' volume and winced to see a small spherical device through the field.)
Lynn: "That's what we're risking our lives to protect, old man?"
(Lynn asked.)
Jen: "Show some respect!"
(Jen whispered to the super strong girl.)
Jen: "That old man is our grandfather."
Ben: "That dinky thing is the sub energy?"
(Ben agreed.)
Xylene: "I know that it doesn't look like much."
(Xylene nodded.)
Xylene: "But the material that's inside that container is twenty times more powerful than the sun."
Lincoln: "Whoa."
(Lincoln said, stunned.)
Max: "Indeed, Lincoln."
(Max said, crossing his arms.)
Max: "If you mishandle it, then you've got an explosion powerful enough to wipe an entire planet off the face of the earth."
Camille: "Well, when you put it that way..."
(Camille said, shrinking where she stood as they looked at the device.)
Camille: "I'm sad that I'm missing my honeymoon for this but we can't let the Forever King have the sub-energy."
Xylene: "Welcome to the Plumbers."
(Xylene said to the group as they all nodded.)
