The Metal Bat Cousin

Side Effects

City No POV

Two construction workers were gonna tear down a building, well one of them was operating the wrecking ball machine.

Worker: getting paid to smash stuff. Ha-ha. You gotta love this job.

The next hole they made got a homeless man with green-ish skin to come out. He had bugs crawling over him. His name was Clancy.

Manager; look, look!

Clancy: get out of our home.

Worker: yeah, well, I hate to break it to you, pal, but this building's condemned by order of Councilwoman Liang.

Manager: yeah, so move it or lose it. This place is coming down, like it or not!

Clancy extended his arms and loads of insects came out of his jacket towards the workers. The manager ran off but the worker got caught and send close to Clancy.

Worker: uh, get these things off of me!

Clancy: well, if you think we're bugging you now...

Elsewhere

A thief in a hot rod card was driving fast.

Thief: oh, they'll never catch me.

RV

Gwen: there they are!

Max: you sure?

Gwen: totally.

Ben was Upgrade and took over a motorcycle as did Rip and Wade was riding motorcycle Rip. They were both after the criminal as the criminal drove around some cars as Wade, Rip, and Ben had to go on the side walk.

Ben; watch out! Coming through!

Once they saw an opening, they got back on the street still after the thief as the thief drove in front of a car moving truck. Ben and Rip did a wheelie and used the back of the truck as a ramp and got in front of the truck as the thief saw them and accelerated. The thief crossed a street light as Wade got launched above a moving van while Ben and Rip slid under it as Rip extended himself and caught Wade to bring him back on top of him.

Ben: hey!

Thief: huh?

Wade got on top of Rip as he turned his watch into a spear as he threw it in front of car getting it stuck on the street as the car hit into it stopping it completely as the air bag saved the thief's life. Ben and Rip drove over as the thief saw them.

Thief: no way.

Wade gets the spear back and twirls it a little before using it to hit the thief in the face knocking him out. They heard the police sirens as they drove off when Wade got back on Rip. They just went around the corner and Ben spotted an Ice Cream truck.

Ben: well, we did just nab a bad guy.

Wade got off the motorcycle as Rip went back to normal as Ben unmerged with the motorcycle and opened the back of it.

Ben: now we're talking.

Wade: <looks around>

Ben: what's wrong?

Wade: Rip didn't unmerge with the motorcycle.

Rip jumps as he transforms into the motorcycle before he changes back.

Wade: oh you can absorb vehicles permanently and transform into them. Best pet ever.

Rip jumps to Wade's arms as they go inside the truck. Later on, the police picked up the thief and took the money back to where he stole it from as Max and Gwen were watching nearby.
