Back in New York, the heroes were surveying the fruits of their work.

"Looks like things are taken care of here" Leo said, "but I'm still curious who united all these villains and sent them here."

"I know who" Fourarms replied "it was an evil alien named Vilgax. He's trying to conquer the world."

"Vilgax?" Jake asked "sounds like the name of a cheap arcade game."

"Well the important thing is that the villains are defeated" Kim said, "now let's call the police."

But before anyone could head to do just that, they all heard a rumbling sound.

"What's that, an earthquake?" Sam said, "but they don't usually occur in New York."

"It's no earthquake" Fourarms said, "ready yourselves, we're in for big trouble now."

"What do you mean?" Danny asked.

Fourarms didn't answer, because everyone had their eyes fixed on the source of the noise; a giant spiked ball.

"What in the heck is that thing?" Raimundo asked.

"Vilgax" Fourarms growled.

The ball stopped a few feet away from the heroes and metal doors opened up. Out stepped Vilgax, ready for action.

"So you heroes think you can ruin my perfectly devised scheme?" Vilgax asked, "well you never thought that you'd have to contend with me."

"I don't know how you survived Vilgax" Fourarms said, "but I trashed you once, and I'll do it again!" And he ran forward to attack, all fists at the ready.

"Wait!" Leo shouted, but it was too late.

He got within a few inches of Vilgax, before the alien used his arm to deactivate the Omnitrix and transform Ben back to normal.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you could do that" Ben replied.

"An error that will cost you your life" Vilgax replied, only to be blasted by Ace.

"Hey squid face, I got a score ta settle with you" he said, "you took me from my home and friends, and now you're going to pay!"

"Insolent creature!" Vilgax bellowed "what do I have to do to be rid of you?"

Ace jumped forward, his sword at the ready, but Vilgax swatted him away, as though he were a fly.

"Man, how do we handle this guy?" Jake asked, "he just took out two guys without breaking a sweat."

"I have an attack that might take care of him" Danny said, "but it's very risky."

"We'll have to risk it" Leo said, "how much time do you need?"

"Just make sure he doesn't attack me" Danny replied "and when I say so, cover your ears."

"Okay, Jake, you and Zick provide cover fire" Leo said, "I'll attack Vilgax head on and give you a chance to blast him."

"You just give the word turtle man" Jake said.

"Okay then, Danny do what you need to do, cause we're going to need that attack of yours" Leo added, before jumping into the fray, swords drawn.

"Leave the others alone Vilgax" Leo said, "why don't you fight me, turtle to alien."

"Your compassion for the others is noble" Vilgax replied "but foolish. I shall crush you easily, and then them!"

Leo jumped at him and swung his swords, but Vilgax seemed unaffected.

"Your primitive weapons have no affect on me" he said, "you're wasting your time", and he grabbed the turtle by the throat.

"On the contrary" Leo said, "I was just distracting you so the others could attack. Now guys!"

"Yo, try a little dragon fire on for size, squid boy" Jake said, letting loose a stream of flame.

Zick also let loose with his energy dom, disorienting the alien villain. He let Leo go, and he called up to Danny.

"OK Danny, let's see what you've got!"

Time to do this Danny thought I just hope I don't hurt the others.

"Everyone!" Danny shouted, "cover your ears, now!"

The heroes did as they were told and Danny let loose with the Ghostly Wail. His sonic scream had the desired effect, as Vilgax covered where his ears would be in pain.

"You win this round!" he said, "but this is not over. Beam us up, now!"

And in seconds, Vilgax and the other villains disappeared. Danny meanwhile, having expended all his energy, transformed back to normal and plummeted to Earth.

"I got ya man" Jake said, catching Danny before he hit the ground.

"Well, this has been an interesting day" Ron said "what with all the aliens and evil robots and everything."

"They'll be back you know" Leo said, "you heard Vilgax. He's angry and he'll want revenge."

"So, what do we do?" Kim asked.

"I think we need to take a page from the villains playbook" Leo replied "and join forces ourselves. A combined force of good to help keep the evil in check."

"It is an interesting idea" Kim replied "but many of us do have families and other responsibilities."

"We could build it around your schedules" Leo said, "members can be contacted and can refuse to participate if they've got something else to do."

"Okay, but where are we gonna meet?" Jake added.

"I could talk to my boss" Sam said, "I'm sure he has an old base lying around he'd let us use. One with all the technological devices we'd need."

"So what do you say?" Leo asked.

"Let's do this, turtle man" Jake said, "the Am Drag totally digs where you're coming from."

"I'm in" Ben said, "after all, I'm an expert on Vilgax."

"Hmmph, some expert" Gwen replied, scowling.

Soon all the heroes agreed to form a united front against Vilgax and his allies. The balance of good and evil in the world just shifted.

-----

Back on Vilgax's spaceship, the villains were licking their wounds.

"You promised us victory Vilgax, but we all got our butts kicked out there!" Terence yelled.

"You were only defeated because you did not anticipate that the heroes would oppose you" Vilgax replied "it was an unforeseen complication. But next time, we shall be ready. For when we combine our unique skills, there will be no one who can oppose us!"
