Charmcaster stood tall above buildings. Cars below her rolling across streets as she smiled.

She inhaled, exhaled. And putting a finger forward... she blasted a bolt of mana down at a car and it exploded into fiery bits. She laughed. She began shooting more and more until an entire row of cars were lit into flames.

Charmcaster: Oh yeah. This'll get me away from everything.

??: Well, don't worry Caster. We'll get you back to everything.

Her smile twisted into gritting teeth, she spun round and saw a hoverboard slam into her throwing her off the roof.

Ben landed down, Sharpshot uniform and all. Gwen on the side of it. She landed comfortably on the roof.

Gwen: Wasn't that a bit harsh.

Ben: You don't hear that from me when you burn people up with Heatblast. Or slash them with XLR8 or Diamondhead. Or when you suplex them with Four Arms. Need I go on.

Gwen: Ok, ok, I get it.

Charmcaster leapt up and onto the roof.

Charmcaster: Seriously, come on!

Ben: Come on, what?

Charmcaster: You know what to come too?

Ben: We do. But you don't. A warm jail cell is what you should come too, but here you are.

Gwen (whispers): You never talked like this..

Ben: I'm a celebrity, gotta, you know, make an intelligible line here and there.

Gwen: No one's hearing this. They're all down there.

Charmcaster smiled, and murmured a smell

Charmcaster: Twistia Combititus!

Immediately, Charmcaster lifted up different pieces of metal, cars were lifted, trucks were carried. And Gwen felt something slip out the Omnitrix and looked down to see what was a tiny piece of metal slide out of a slip in between the core.

Gwen began to worry.

Gwen: Geez...

Ben: What?

Gwen: When she used that spell. Twist it and combine.

Ben: Twistia Combititis, it's a Ferrokinetic spell (sees Gwen staring at him bewildered). What, info in the mask?

Gwen: It took something from the Omnitrix.

Ben: Is it still usable?

Gwen (activates it): Yeah??

Ben: Good.

Gwen: That was a weak ye-

Ben: Ready?

Ben blasted Charmcaster and she lost control. Dropping the spell and all the trucks fell.

Ben: Go!

Gwen: I know.

She leapt down and began turning the dial to who she wanted. Wildvine. She hit the watch and ended up as Snare-oh.

Gwen: Oh come on. All right. Maybe this is better, let's try something. Gwen made her own tendrils, as with all her strength, she caught the vehicles and shaped her body to glide down slowly. Before swinging herself back up to the two battling magicians.

Ben, blasting mana at Charmcaster: What's your game?

Charmcaster grabbed what looked like a bat, from her satchel, and threw it. It turned into multiple bats, swarming him as he fought them off. He put a mana shield up.
