Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Trouble Of Megawatt

(Back at the rubber band ball, a ball of yellow lightning shot out of it and into a nearby power line before it flew all around the square and crashed through the "Welcome to Sparksville" sign and settled to reveal it's true form.)

(a small yellow and black battery-like creature with a wicked cackle before vanishing.)

(That night in the hotel room, the kids were sleeping soundly in the sideways beds (the twins decided to sleep in the same bed since the hotel room only had two beds) before they heard their grandfather.)

Max: "What the heck happened here?"

(The kids then gasped and fell out of their beds and onto the wall below just go with it.)

Gwen: "He knows everything! We are so busted!"

(Gwen exclaimed.)

Jen: "We have to come clean and tell Grandpa everything!"

(Jen said.)

Ben: "Sometimes it's hard to believe we're the same age. Never admit anything until you absolutely have to, got it?"

(Ben said.)

Max: "Benjamin, Jennifer, Gwendolyn, get out here."

(Max called.)

(The girls then grew shocked.)

Jen: "Jennifer?"

(Jen asked.)

Gwen: "Gwendolyn?"

(Gwen asked as they looked at each other.)

Jen: "He full-named us."

(Jen said as she pulled her fingers nervously.)

Gwen: "We're doomed!"

(Gwen exclaimed.)

(They exited the hotel to see absolute carnage in the streets.)

(The buildings were smoking everywhere around them, the cars were all wrecked and overturned and the power lines were in black smoldering curled sticks out of the ground and the lines were sparking everywhere.)

Ben: "Whoa? What happened?"

(Ben asked.)

Max: "I don't know."

(Max said.)

Max: "Looks like a tornado flew in overnight."

Ben: "Good."

(Ben said before Max looked to him and raised his eyebrow, prompting Ben to change his words.)

Ben: "I mean, yeah. It was just one of those freaky nature things. Right, girls?"

(Gwen nodded as Jen shrugged her elbows.)

Jen: "Sure, let's go with that."

(Then, the mayor came walking over to them and cleared his throat.)

the mayor: "I think I know who's responsible for these juvenile acts."

Max: "Juvenile acts?"

(Max said as the kids grew nervous.)

Max: "If I didn't know better, I'd say that sounds like-"

the mayor: "Oh, I'm not talking about these youngsters."

(the mayor said.)

Tennysons: "You're not?"

(the Tennysons all asked before Max looked to his grandchildren and they all smiled innocently.)

Max: "Yeah, well if they didn't do it, who did?"

(Max asked.)

(As soon as he asked, the lightning creature from before appeared and swarmed all over the kids annoyingly before it went to Gwen and stuck it's black tongue out at her before fling over to Jen and pulling her shirt over her head and she glared before he went over to Ben and tapped his shoulder and stuck it's tongue at him as well before flying away from the group.)

Ben: "What was that?"

(Ben asked.)

the mayor: "Megawatt."

(the mayor explained.)

Jen: "Megawhat?"

(Jen asked

the mayor: "Exactly. Normally, wrapped up tight inside of "it." that is, until last night."

(The kids looked at each other nervously, knowing they were responsible for Megawatt's escape.)

the mayor: "Some say, it might be a ball of lightning come alive, others think it's static cling run amuck. Tough to say."

Gwen: "Maybe it's an alien."

(Gwen suggested.)

the mayor: "Alien? Now that's plain kooky talk."

(Megawatt then showed up in front of a vending machine and cackled to itself before flying inside of it, causing it to violently shake and rumble.)

Jen: "What's it doing?"

(Jen asked.)

the mayor: "It eats electricity. The more it gobbles, the more powerful it gets."

(the mayor explained.)

(The vending machine started throwing out cans of soda at them as they gasped and ducked for cover.)

the mayor: "It's also got a dangerous sense of humor."

(They then ducked behind a ruin car to shield themselves from the bullet-like soda cans.)

Max: "You had that thing wrapped up in a giant rubber band ball this entire time?"

(Max asked.)

Max: "Isn't that kind of dangerous?"

the mayor:"Not so long as people minded the signs."

(he then turned to the kids as they looked nervous.)

Ben: "Alright, we did it! We're guilty!"

(Ben exclaimed.)

Jen: "So much for admit nothing, bro!"

(Jen said with a raised eye.)

Max: "We're going to talk about this later, you three."

(Max said.)

Max: "But now, how do we stop this thing, Mr. Mayor?"

the mayor: "What do you mean 'we?'"

(the mayor asked, putting a toothpick in his mouth.)

the mayor: "You let it out, you catch it."

(A piece of flaming debris crashed by them as they sighed.)

Ben: "Easier said than done."

(Ben said.)

Jen: "Well this is just perfect."

(Jen said, crossing her arms as they walked through the city, trying to catch Megawatt.)

Jen: "And of course, neither of us have any electrical aliens."

Gwen: "Should we lure it out with some batteries or something?"

(Gwen asked.)

(Little did they know that Megawatt was following them with a mischievous chuckle as it traveled across the power lines in a ball of yellow lightning before travelling through a street light and finally up Max's pant leg before giving him the worst wedgie you've ever seen.)

Max: "That's not funny!"

(Max exclaimed.)

Max: "Just painful."

(Megawatt was struggling to hold the old man up due to his weight.)

Ben: "Don't worry Grandpa. I know just the hero to deal with a trouble maker like this."

(He readied his Omnitrix before slamming it down and transforming in a flash of green light.)

(The Omnitrix sunk into his arm and his skin turned black and green lines of energy scrawled their way across his body as his clothes and hair vanished into his body and his eyes merged into one and merged into a circle before he struck a pose as he finished.)

Gwen: "Why go Upgrade?"

(Gwen asked as Ben smirked.)

Upgrade: "It's complicated. You wouldn't understand."

(Upgrade said.)

Jen: "The watch didn't turn you into what you wanted it to, didn't you?"

(Jen asked as she raised her eyebrow.)

Upgrade: "Shut up."

(Megawatt cackled before he shot into the World's Largest Ketchup Bottle, the electricity causing the ketchup to boil to the top, causing it to explode and the cap to go flying, slicing off the head of a giant chicken, which crashed into the street, causing people to run away screaming.)

(Megawatt cackled at its mischief before he looked to see Upgrade rolling the giant rubber band ball towards him.)

Upgrade: "Alright, twinkle toes. Time to go home!"

(Unfortunately, the bands started to give way and snap off, sending them flying in several directions as the ball rolled to its point, causing Gwen to duck for cover.)

Gwen: "Hey, doofus! Whose side are you on?!"

the mayor: "Is it just me, or is there a lot of excitement today?"

(the mayor asked as he sat on the bench, munching on some popcorn.)

(Megawatt then appeared behind Upgrade as he glared and started making fun of him and laughing in midair as Upgrade glared in anger at him before his eye started to glow and before he knew it, he fired a beam of green energy from his eye, which Megawatt dodged in confusion.)

Upgrade: "Whoa! That's new!"

(Upgrade said as Jen glared and noticed one of the discarded cans of soda, which she then opened and guzzled down before she ducked and dialed her Omnitrix as she tried to pic an alien.)

Jen: "Not so funny now, is it?!"

(Megawatt then just laughed at him again before flying away and Upgrade tried chasing after him, to no avail as he was just too fast.)
