 Starfire's starbolts and eye blasts tore through the robots like paper, like when she and Ben first met. Thid time however they were not at odds. Ben was also different, a female Four Arms an as a robot fell to her fists she paused.

"Whoa, I think I'm actually stronger," she easily dispatches another 2 droids, "Like a lot stronger."

"The female of some species is stronger," Lucky Girl bounces in, hurling one droid into another with her magic and tearing open another with her bare hands, leaving tears in the metal as if ripped open by steel hard claws as Gwen deftly dodges and evades counter attacks as she close enough to whisper to Jen. "Your supposed to start in Sunflare form to reset your gender."

Jen stops, pausing, "Oh right...forgot," tapping her shoulder her form flashed green and then in a white top and mini skirt a second Starfire took to the air, blasting the robots as Lucky Girl bounced off to round up civilians.

"Enough games," the voice sent chills down Jen and Gwen's spines as a figure dropped into the middle of the crowd, "I do not know who you passed it to Ben Tennyson but I will have My Omnitrix."

Lucky Girl was shaking but moved to intercept, "You leave the civilians out of this."

The squid glared down at her with contempt, "Another so called hero." And grabbed her with unnatural speed and before the Tamerian's could reaction tore her in half like a candy bar and tossed the halves aside, blitzing toward Jen, "I recognize the Omnitrix anywhere, though not the alien, it does not matter," his fingers dug into the icon at Jen's chest, "I will extract it by force."

Starfire's starbolt made the tyrant flinch and drop Jen, turning his attention to her, Jen scrambling to her cousin, "No, no no! You can be~"

~One down~

A feminine voice boomed in the sky as Gwen's two halves glowed and pulled toward each other, her form enveloped in pink energy as her dark fur grew out of her flesh and her body twisted and distorted. A massive dire panther replacing the young girl, a beast bigger then Ben's own Wildmutt for by several degrees, with sparking blue fur that glittered like starlight and long sharp fangs of the most polished ivory, her claws like fresh obsidian, ans her voice a low, primal sound that made your very bones ache.

"Leave my family alone!"

The beast lunged, knocking over the conqueror and tearing pieces from his flesh and armor, but the form did not last long as it quickly shrank back to Lucky Girl, starlight fur vanishing into black and violet cloth and soft peach skin. Only those piercing green eyes of the beast remained, burning behind the mask. As broken buildings and debris were commanded by Gwen, lifted above their head as she growled in a non human rage, a starlight tail flicking out behind her a moment.

"I'm strongerrrr now, you don't get to torrrrment Ben any morrrre."

And she brought half a city block raining down on the tyrant.

"Gwen!" Jen cried out as she flashed forms. Lucky Girl passing out in the arms of female XLR8 as Vilgax was buried under and battered by the falling city.

Lucky Girl groaned as she slowly waked, her tail gone but her eyes remained changed. Jen, Starfire and Max looked over with concern and worry. Starfire quick to pull the girl into a warm hug, "Sister Gwen I am so glade you are not injured!"

She purrs softly, "Thank's Star," extracting herself from the hug only to meet Max and Jen's disapproving and worried expressions.

"No more deflecting Gwen, what the heck happened back there?"

Gwen sighs, moving to the fridge to get some left overs and sitting to eat, "Fiiiiine."

She growls irritably, "A few weeks back while Je~Ben was fighting Kevin again I was making sure they hadn't destroyed anything priceless when they tore though that museum. As I was cleaning up the mess and picking up some ancient artifacts knocked out of their case a cat headed figure appeared like a ghost before me."

"Probably an aspect of Basat, an Egyptian god," Max muses.

"A child of mine," Basat looked down at Gwen, at the emblem on her shirt and smiled, "Tell me my kitten what is your name?"

"G-Gwen Tennyson," she says softly, a hint of fear before the unknown force.

The god sighed, glancing around, "The world has forgotten and abandoned me but I see even in these times some of my followers remain."

Gwen glances to her shirt, pulling at the symbol, "T-This?"

The god nods, "Tell me Gwen Tennyson what caused all this chaos and destruction."

She sighs point to the hole the two made coming in and out, "My Cousin Ben is stuck in to a fight with his rival Kevin and their powers are just tearing a hole through the city. I didn't want to see all this history lost so I'm trying to clean up the mess."

She motions with a hand summon magic, her telekinesis still weak as she demonstrates trying to repair a shattered display, with clear effort.

"A scholar and servant I see," The god smiles, "And what of you, what is it my kitten desires?"

Gwen sighs, finding some debris to sit on, "You know for a short time I had power like my cousin, called myself Lucky Girl, but it was stolen, and eventually I had to give it back. Still being a hero myself was fun, and even if I was just cleaning up Ben's messes at least I wasn't helpless, at least I could defend myself."

"Then it is decided," the god shrank to a ball of light and flew into Gwen's chest, the eyes of her shirt glowing as the voice faded, "I will issue you a challenge. You may borrow the power of my other children but should you fall a piece of you will be exchanged for a piece of me. Fall 9 times and I will be reborn though you. However..."

A small book materialized in Gwen's hand, "If you can master these spells before the 9th life is spent you will earn your freedom."

Back to the present Max looks on with horror, "Old gods, you can never trust them, it's why humanity abandoned them. They don't care about consent and set games that heavily favor them."

Jen slumped into the seat across, "G-Gwen I'm sorry...I~"

She wove a dismissive hand, "You can't control Kevin, or any of these other bad guys, all you can do is try and stop them." she sighs, "I just wish you could show a bout more restraint and care for your surroundings."

Starfire joined the booth next, "Back at my home Friend Raven also wrestles with the inner demon. Her father is the demon Trigon and she must keep the control of her emotions at all times for fear of the Trigon using her body as a way free of his hell place."

Gwen sighs, touching her shirt icon, "I'd like to meet her one day."

"That may be possible in the future." Star smiles, "Now you said you had to the master some spells? Take out the book, and let us train," her gaze turning to Jen, "Isn't that right Sister Jen?"

Jen smirks, brushing her finger cocking under her nose, "Oh heck yeah! Let's see how your magic goes up against my aliens! And let's shoe that musty old god that your don't mess with a Tennyson!"

Gwen smiles, "J~Ben...thanks."

Max pulls out a large silver-white cannon, "If I will save my Niece from some cocky old god you can count me into training as well Gwen."

Gwen purrs softly, tail and ears springing out as Starfire pets her head playfully, "That is the good girl!"
