"So let me get this straight, your cousin Ben has an alien device that lets him turn into those alien heroes?" Martin asked one more time. Gwen nodded again.
"THAT IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!" Gwen had to cover her ears.
"Where ever evil aliens lurk, with a the flip of a switch, he would bring the alien heroes on the scene. Does he need a sidekick?" Martin asked. Diana however quickly pulled him away and out of his geek rush. "But what about Centara? How does she fit into all this?" she asked.
"I have no idea, he's never fought her before. All that matters is that she has Ben, and we have to go after her." Gwen stated.
"We? I don't think so, this could get to rough for a kid." Before Diana could add to that, she heard Gwen speak some strange babel. Next thing she knew, Martin was thrown back a few yards by nothing.
"Did I mention that I have powers to?" Gwen asked with a smirk.
"And I thought this mission would be boring." Martin muttered.

Suddenly, a loud rumble was heard through the woods, and the three looked up as they saw Centara's ship take off. While Gwen was just worried for Ben's sake, Martin and Diana were mostly confused on how that ship took off, since they informed the Center about it earlier. Shouldn't somebody have responded?
Martin's U-Watch beeped "The Center,".
A portal opened a few feet from them, and they stepped through, right into M.O.M's office.

"Mom! You're not going to believe this!" Martin said.
"I know Martin, Billy told me. We're dealing with Centara." M.O.M. responded. Of course she anticipated her agent's response.
"You know about her?" Diana asked.
"Yes, she's had a few run ins with interplanetary laws before. Mostly of which involve things I'd rather not discuss" M.O.M. elaborated. They noted how her face grimaced slightly at the mention of Centara's agendas.
"Wait a second, Billy, why didn't Center agents secure her ship?" Diana asked. Billy grimaced about that, and mentioned how just before the ship took off, they had found a few human bodies around the ship, without heads. Everybody gulped.
Soon afterwords M.O.M. noticed someting.
"Who are you?" she looked towards the unfamiliar face.
"I'm Gwen, my cousin Ben was kidnapped by Centara" That answered one question, but quickly gave M.O.M. another. A question which Martin answered.
"Uh, would it help if I said that her cousin was in posession of the energy signal you were tracking which turned out to be an alien watch that lets him turn into those alien heroes on the news and that he and his magic cousin here have been traveling around the country with their grandpa and using their powers to fight evil?" He took in a long breathe after that explaination.
M.O.M's face had gone blank.





"I won't lie to you agents, this case has just reached the highest priority." M.O.M. swiped a card key into a slot on a door. She then had to enter a fourteen digit code, and register her hand print. Martin, Diana, Gwen, and Billy followed her through. None of them had any clue as to where they were going, even Billy had never been in this part of the Center.
What they found was certainly a surprise.
They were in a giant hangar, filled with alien ships!

"Woah." Words failed Martin as he gazed at this amazing sight. Gwen was impressed, but not by much, since she had seen her share of spaceships.
"What you see is every alien spacecraft ever recovered by the Center. They've all been fixed up over the years, but up until now we've never needed them." M.O.M. said.
"You mean we're going into space?!" Martin and Diana spoke in unison. Though Diana sounded less enthusiastic than Martin.
"Of course we're going into space, we have to get Ben back." Gwen spoke matter of factly.
"She's right. We can't allow Centara to get her hands on the Omnitrix, or anyone else for that matter." M.O.M. then looked down at Gwen "From what Martin has told me, you're quite the sorceress, but are you sure you're up to this?".
Gwen nodded "Ben's in trouble, and I'm not about to stand aside. I'm going.".
"Alright, you'll all be taking that ship." M.O.M. pointed to probably the biggest, most cool looking ship in the hangar. Martin was the first to rush in.

Everybody else walked in, and for a moment marvelled at the technology before them. Soon afterwords they spotted Martin fooling with the steering controls.
"Awesome! look out aliens. Martin Mystery has a new toy." Suddenly, M.O.M. popped up on a monitor in front of him. "Nice try Martin, but Billy will be the pilot." she said.
"M-Me!" Billy replied rather enthusiastically. He hovered over next to Martin, and hooked his hover saucer into a perfectly made slot, much to Martin's dismay. Diana meanwhile had discovered some containers, filled with weapons. For once they would need something other than the U-Watch.
Gwen fooled around with some hollow screens behind Martin and Billy, and brought up an image of space, with a glowing contrail leading away from Earth.

"I've got Centara's trail." she told her pilot. Billy gave a thumbs up, and began to power up the engines.
The ship began to hover, and the hangar door began to open. M.O.M. signalled the okay, and the ship took off.
*BANG*
At least it would have if Billy didn't crash it into another.
"Oops, sorry." He tried again, and soon turned a a flying suacer into a pancake.
"I told you I should be the pilot." Martin said. He and Billy began to fight tooth and nail for the control. Fortunately for everyone, Gwen managed to turn on the auto pilot, and then clicked on the contrail on screen.

As they began to leave Earth's atmosphere, Gwen looked at huge space before them.
"Hang on Ben.".
