Opening Scene:

The world is recovering from the devastation of the great battle against Omnishade. The Omni-Defenders stand at a memorial erected in honor of Kassandra Levin, who sacrificed herself to save the planet. Flowers, candles, and messages of gratitude cover the base of the statue depicting her holding her glowing staff.

Ben:
(staring at the statue with guilt etched on his face)
"We wouldn't be here without her. But it feels wrong, standing here while she's... gone."

Gwen:
(her voice soft but firm)
"She made her choice, Ben. She believed in us. Now we have to honor that by doing better."

Kevin:
(his arms crossed, trying to mask his pain)
"She was family. Losing her... it's not something you just 'move on' from."

Carl Tennyson:
(walking up, his expression somber)
"Your Uncle Max always said the hardest part of being a hero isn't the fights you win. It's the sacrifices you carry. You kids have done more than enough. But now comes the real challenge: rebuilding."

Act I: New Challenges Arise

As the group discusses their next steps, Devin Levin arrives, his face grim.

Devin:
"Kevin. We need to talk."

Kevin:
(bristling)
"You're late to the party. What do you want, Dad?"

Devin:
(ignoring the jab)
"Vilgax and Eon aren't sitting this one out. They've been spotted regrouping with a new ally-someone called Vortex. He's dangerous, Kevin. Dangerous enough that even Vilgax seems to be following his lead."

Ben:
(his fists clenching)
"Great. Another galactic psycho trying to take over the universe."

Gwen:
(thinking aloud)
"If Vilgax and Eon are aligning with someone else, they're planning something big. We need to be ready."

Scene Shift: Eon's Lair

Eon, Vilgax, and Vortex stand in a dimly lit chamber.

Vilgax:
(snarling)
"This world may have survived Omnishade, but it's weaker than ever. The Omni-Defenders are fractured."

Eon:
(his tone mocking)
"You sound scared of a few teenagers, Vilgax. They're not invincible."

Vortex:
(stepping forward, his metallic armor gleaming with energy)
"Enough bickering. Their strength lies in their unity. We break that, and this world falls. I have a plan. Leave it to me."

Act II: The New Ally

Back at the Tennyson household, the group is surprised when Albedo-Ben's DNA-cloned nemesis-arrives, shackled and escorted by the Plumbers.

Ben:
(incredulous)
"What's he doing here? You expect us to trust him?"

Albedo:
(sneering but subdued)
"Trust is irrelevant. I came because we have a common enemy. You think Vortex will stop with you? He has his sights on the entire Omniverse."

Gwen:
(narrowing her eyes)
"Why should we believe you?"

Albedo:
"Because if you don't, you'll fail. And I refuse to let this universe-and by extension, myself-be destroyed because of your incompetence."
