Leo 10

**Leo 10** is the twenty-first episode of Gren 10 (CYOA).

## Plot

Leo Grenfell was the son of Lucy Mann and the Hero of Heroes, Caio Grenfell. Currently, he was on his way to an academy just above Earth, this one being run by Tetrax Shard. His parents chose to accompany him to assist in moving in.

As he sat in the ship he thought about the first moment he knew he wanted to do what his dad did. Many years ago, when Leo was around three to five years old, he had stayed up to wait for his dad to come home. As Gren came into the house as XLR8 he transformed back to human and spotted Leo.

“What are you still doing up, garoto?” Gren asked his son.

“I wanted to see you and hear about your mission before I went to bed!” Leo said with his mother’s smile.

Gren smiled and picked up his son carrying him to his bedroom. As he placed him into bed he transformed into Snore Clouds as he began to tell his son about his adventures. As Leo listened, smiling, he soon drifted off to sleep.

He thought about what his dad had told him, saving people was the best feeling in the world. Being able to make a difference was something that drove him and got him up in the morning. No matter how many times he’s knocked down he always gets back up, because he’s the only thing standing between this universe and oblivion.

His mom called his name as his dad shook him. He had arrived at the Earth Academy location.

"Well, today's the big day! Can't wait to finally begin my training to be a hero!” Leo said with a smile.

As Leo moved things into his dorm with the help of his parents he noticed his best friend Devlin Levin was also moving in with his parents with his sister as well. Gren had also spotted them and walked over to Kevin giving him a hug.

“To think thirty-five years ago this was us,” Gren reminisced with Kevin and Octavia.

“Well, you know what they said back in your day, dad. The more things change..." Leo teased. Are we going to end up in the same team?", he wondered, turning to his friends.

“Team GOLD 2.0?” Devlin joked.

“I sure hope not. The first one was enough of a pain in the ass to train,” Tetrax said as he walked into the hallway.

Gren smiled as he shook Tetrax’s hand.

“An explosive first impression as always, Tetrax,” Gren teased.

“Grenfells, a word?” Tetrax asked.

Leo, Gren, and Lucy walked into Leo’s dorm room as Tetrax closed the door behind them.

“Are you two sure it is a good idea to bring Leo down the same path as Gren?” he asked.

“Yes, we’ve thought about this for a while. If I want to retire instead of dying on the job, he needs to be trained and ready to take on my mantle. I know he can handle it,” Gren smiled as he rustled Leo’s hair.

“And it's what I want to do, Mr. Shard. I want to help people and make the world better! I know it's not exactly an easy job, but that's why I'm here. So I can train to be the best I can as a hero." Leo stated.

“Well… since you don't have full Lenopan powers,” Gren started, “And after a lot of talking with Azmuth and Albedo. This might help you.”

Gren took out a small cube container and handed it to his son.

"Wait. Is this... what I think it is?" Leo excitedly tried to open the container.

Leo opened the container to find his own Omnitrix which was a magenta in color opposed to his father’s teal. As he grabbed it he examined it before placing it on his wrist.

"My own watch? That's... AMAZING!" He tried to activate it and see the available aliens. "Thanks so much, dad!"

Gren smiled as Leo saw the following silhouettes: a serpentine, a rock, a bug,a monster, a doll, a porcupine, a turtle, a robot, another turtle,and another robot.

"I started you out with a solid set of 10. based on ones I thought you'd like and some that would allow for good creativity usage," Gren calmly explained.

"I can't wait to try them all out! Maybe I should try this one? Or wait, this one seems cool! Oh what about-” Leo rambled on.

Leo then took a deep breath. "...well, maybe I should wait to try them out during training."

He then turned to Tetrax. "CANWESTARTTRAININGRIGHTNOW?

“Relax, Leo. There will be time for that later,” Gren smiled.

“I told you, you should have waited til after we were done unpacking,” Lucy smiled.

“Heh. Sorry. But I mean, if anyone gets how excited I am about this it's gotta be you. Didn't you feel the same way when you put yours on for the first time, dad?” Leo asked.

“Actually, no. At first I was a bit confused, but that was due to technically stealing the Omnitrix from Myaxx with Kevin and Argit. After training with Myaxx and Xylene, I did begin to get used to it and was even excited about it," Gren explained.

“Oh. Uh, right. Man, imagine how things would've gone if Argit had grabbed it first instead? Anyway, thanks again for this. I feel like it's a huge first step in being able to eventually save the world!” Leo said.

With that Leo was soon unpacked and his initiation was starting. Himself and the other first years were on a cliffside overlooking an Earth forest below.

“That's a nice landscape... but what are we here for again?” Leo asked.

“It’s good to see that after all these years, this test is still unknown to all,” Tetrax smiled as he pressed a button on his suit.

All the first years were thrown off the cliff and into the air.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH", Leo screamed.

Leo initially panics as he flies through the air but eventually manages to gather himself and activate the watch, turning into one of the robots.

Leo’s skin turns metallic as exhaust pipes grow from his arms. His body starts growing as his shoulders grow rounded bits that turn into wheels. A visor appears over his eyes as a helmet grows from it. His feet grow into boots as metal bursted from his skin to grow them. Headlights form at his hips as they flash a bright magenta finalizing the transformation into Ten Wheeler.

Ten-Wheeler looks at himself in shock for a moment before realizing he's getting dangerously close to the ground, after which he tries to either transform into a flying vehicle of some kind and otherwise hope he's durable enough to survive the fall.

As he focused, he transformed into a flying delorean. With it he was able to safely float to the ground.

“That... was… THE COOLEST THING I”VE EVER DONE! Wait, I should probably check for anyone that can’t fly and try to catch them!” Leo realized.

Leo changed back to vehicle form and flew up, looking for Devin and his sister in particular but willing to help anyone unable to land safely. Mostly everyone had a way to stop their falls as one in particular was still falling… waiting for something.

Leo watched from a distance, ready to catch them if they ended up failing at whatever they were trying to do. They turned to face first as they took a deep breath as their mouth expanded and they let out a sonic scream, their clothing expanded forming a wingsuit allowing them to glide with the propulsion of their screams.

Whoa!", Leo thought, impressed at that, before landing back down and transforming back into robot mode. "Alright, let's see what the rest of this trial is all about!"

Leo ventured into the forest and came across an imported Tyrannopede that charged at him.

"Alright, let's see what a robot in disguise can do!" Ten Wheeler called out.

Leo tried to use some kind of power or weapon to take on the predator. With his size and strength, Ten Wheeler was able to take down the charging beast and push him aside. After knocking it down, Ten Wheeler went into car mode and performed a burnout, using the cloud of smoke and dirt as a distraction to get away.

Ten Wheeler drove off and arrived at a teleportation pad where he transformed back into Leo.

“Whew! That was a close one. I hope Mr. Shard doesn't consider using a car cheating the test, considering I was the car…”

Leo got on the teleporter and made it back to the Academy. Once everyone made it back, a ceremony was held announcing teams.

“Heather Spellbinder, Elios Aflex, Aster Fife, Lee Egnite will be Team HEAL lead by Heather Spellbinder. Dody Vreedle, Pierce Arrmstrong, Hugh Neutron, Bartholomew Gunther will be Team BAND led by Bartolomew Gunther,” Tetrax started.

Tetrax looked at the next team named and sighed before reading it.

“Devlin Levin, Ophelia Levin, Leonardo Grenfell, and Sony Davenport will be Team GOLD led by Leonardo Grenfell,” he announced.

“YEAH!!" Leo celebrated his new team, running to meet up with the rest of them excitedly.

“It is certainly going to be an interesting year at Codon..” Tetrax said.

The teams moved into their new dorms as GOLD 2.0 sat around their living room celebrating.

“This is so amazing! I'm really glad we'll be able to follow on our parents' legacies like this…” Leo said.

“I can’t believe we never met before this year,” Sonny said.

“Well our parents are busy heroes. My mom works in Ledgerdomain, Gren the galaxy at large with my dad’s help. And your parents are trying to cure The Bug Jar,” Ophelia pointed out.

“Yeah, always so busy... but well, for good reason. Saving the world... worlds,” Leo agreed.

“Still amazing we got Team GOLD, Like… I said it jokingly. I didn’t think it would actually happen with how they changed the partner choosing system,” Devlin stated.

“I know right? Really surprising! But... it kind of makes sense,” Leo said.

“I wonder if someone in admin arranged this to mess with Tetrax,” Ophelia wondered.

“Considering his not so warm reception, probably. Well, it doesn't matter, the point is we're together!" Leo exclaimed.

Later that month after training sessions, Team GOLD was sent to a bar in space to investigate a bar fight that had broken out.

"...well, not the huge special first mission I had in mind, but we gotta start somewhere. I wonder if any aliens my dad picked are good for investigation? Maybe something with enhanced senses or chrono-vision,” Leo stated as they arrived.

As the group entered the bar, they saw the end results. A massive brawl had taken place, broken glass and chairs everywhere. The once illuminated ‘Deep Dive’ sign was busted. The owner was tending to his leg that had been chopped off in the fight with help of another being.

“Wow, messy. Let's go see if we can get some answers from the owner and help with his wounds,” Leo advised.

The group walked up to the owner as Ophelia helped heal him with magic as her markings turned black and glowed. Devlin absorbed the ground and created a sort of peg leg for the owner as Sonny went to look for tech to investigate.

“Thanks, mateys,” the owner said.

“No problem, we're here to help. What happened? Some kind of fight?" Leo asked.

“The Fishmen Crew led by Kork… vicious attack because my head chef’s friends ticked him off.. Went into a rage and trashed the place..” the owner explained.

“I see. Any clue where they went after that? Did anyone else get injured?” Leo asked.

“No need I picked up what direction they went on sonar,” Sonny said walking back into the room.

“Okay, nice! Let's get 'em, then. Lead the way, Sonny. Can't wait to try out another of these aliens…” Leo said.

The team took off and soon arrived at Kork Kounty, a small outpost on a mostly uninhabited planet. As they landed Sonny stuck out their fingers and flicked a small snap towards the base.

“Detecting a massive crew… about two hundred men… four or so hostages?” Sonny guessed based on the echolocation information sent back to them.

“Hostages? We need to be extra careful then... the numbers I'm not that worried about, though. I think we should take something of a stealthy approach, trying to get in without being noticed to make sure they get out fine before taking on them." Leo planned.

“We could split two and two. Two to get the hostages, two to act as backup,” Devlin suggested.

“Sounds like a plan. Do you have some kind of cloaking spell, Ophelia? That sounds like the best option to get in unnoticed, and then Devlin and Sonny can tag in once they're not in danger…” Leo asked.

Ophelia nodded as her markings flashed black as the two turned invisible from everyone.

“Alright, let's get in", Leo whispered. "Once we do, try to get some kind of shield around the hostages while I distract the fish gang.”

Ophelia nodded as the two arrived inside the main building where Captain Kork was having the hostages draw maps for him. Leo observed for a moment, finding it to be a bit of an odd situation, but made a signal for Ophelia to advance nonetheless. Meanwhile, he dialed up the watch, choosing the Serpentine alien.

Leo’s hair burst into green flames as red scales grew on his skin. His hand flexed out into a three clawed hand. His legs merged together into a long tail as his fiery hair continued down his back to the tip of his tail like a gasoline trial. His teeth became fangs as a magenta flash finalized his transformation into Copperhead.

With the flash, Ophelia dropped the cloak around them as she rushed to the hostages.

“Red Spots? In MY kingdom?!” Captain Kork yelled out.

“It's more likely than you think, fishface. We saw the messsssss you and your 'school' made at that bar, but I didn't think it would get worse to the point of having hostages... uh, drawing maps? Anyway... I suggest surrendering. Don't wanna have to fight you.”

“I wouldn’t wanna fight me either,” Captain Kork smiled as he tore off his shirt puffing up into a massive size.

Ophelia got the hostages free and told them to run.

"Overconfidence. Number one reason supervillains tend to fail at their plans. Not that I'd consider you super, mind you", Leo quipped before breathing out a stream of toxic flames at Kork.

Kork took the blast as his back went against a pillar. He charged at Copperhead, recovering quickly, using his massive size to knock Copperhead into a different pillar. In retaliation, Copperhead swung himself from the pillar and used his tail as a flaming whip to hit Kork in the face. Kork grabbed his tail before it hit him.

Kork then noticed the Omnitrix symbol on Copperhead’s chest.

“The fabled Hero of Heroes. I always wanted to feel your spine crack in my hands,” Kork taunted as he aimed his hook hand at Copperhead before firing energy blasts shaped like hooks.

Copperhead slithered out of the projectile trajectory. "Uhhhh. Yeah. About that... I mean, um. Ophelia, call the 'back-up", let's have them join in on the fun." He attacked again with a blast of toxic fire.

Kork countered with his energy blasts as Ophelia tried to call the other two inside.

“It looks like Kork’s gang is keeping them from entering the building. It’s just us,” she said.

“Great.", Leo hissed with sarcasm before deciding to take a more offensive approach, lunging at Kork to attack with his claws and fangs.

Kork grabbed his arms and kept him at a distance, as the standoff continued, Leo began to time out. Once he reverted to human, Kork headbutted him to the floor as Opehlia watched in a panic. Her entire body turned shadowy black as she charged Kork.

As Leo came to he found himself in Ledgerdomain, specifically a rundown part of it that looked dead and withered. Opehlia was there with him.

“Wh-what happened? Where's Kork?" He got up, looking at his surroundings. "...and where are we?"

“Ledgerdomain. My region of Ledgerdomain,” a voice called out as Leo felt his life force slowly draining away.

Before he passed out he looked to see a masked and cloaked figure approaching them. Leo gasped at the approaching individual before passing out from exhaustion due to the drained life-force.

Leo woke up to find himself and Ophelia chained up. Ophelia was crying as she blamed herself for the current situation.

Leo turned to her. "Look, I don't know what's going on, but... we're gonna be alright, don't worry. Try to keep it together. We'll make it out. Now, can you try to tell me what happened?"

“Allow me,” the attacker said as he took off his hood and helmet as he revealed himself to be an unkempt Micheal Morningstar.

“Long ago, around thirty years or so, I met your parents, Caio Grenfell, KEvin Levin, and the lovely Octavia Arthurs for the first time. All was going well until I noticed Octavia’s mana was uncharted energy like nothing I had ever felt before. It gave me an insatiable hunger for more. When I tried to take it by force, it backfired. I turned ugly and nearly dead. After more attempts to return to my former glory I ended up here under the wing of Octavia’s mother of all people. She trained me and taught him how to control power and hunger. Until eventually she sent me after Ophelia as a baby,” he started to explain.

As he talked he created projections that showed a younger Gren. Kevin, and V meeting Micheal, a later fight with them, him stealing the spell to Ledgerdomain from V and Kevin, meeting Octavia’s mother, and then Darkstar standing over Ophelia's cradle.

“...well, that's a lot to take in. I'm sorry your powers caused that to happen to you but I dunno what me or Ophelia have to do with that, uh, sir. Too scared to fight our parents due to how strong they are, so you went after the teens instead? Cuz, y'know, kidnapping us is for sure gonna grab their attention..." Leo taunted.

“Oh don’t worry. There won’t be anything left to save once I’m done here,” Darkstar coldly said with little to no emotion.

He grabbed Ophelia as her tattoos glowed. His own eyes glowed in response with the same coloration.

“It’s time to take back what you took from me all those years ago, darling,” Darkstar said.

As Darkstar drained her of energy, her tattoos disappeared from her skin as she fell to the floor unconscious. He turned to Leo with a sick smile suddenly full of emotion.

“Let’s see how Gren likes it when I destroy his beloved son,” he sneered.

He grabbed Leo by the wrists touching the Omnitrix through the magic as the watch sparked black before a magenta glow flashed. The watch evolved turning into more of a glove as the dial was now on his backhand.

“If you think I'm gonna let you hurt my friend and get away with it, you just made a huge mistake." Leo slammed down on the changed Omnitrix, selecting the "monster" silhouette.

Transformers popped out of Leo’s back ripping his clothing.electricity sparked between them before traveling down across his body leaving behind stitches. His shoes ripped into big mechanical boots as they grew up, his legs stopping at his waist as a belt buckled around it. His skin turned hues of green. As a final magenta spark flashed finalizing the transformation into Frankenstrike.

Focused on the fight, Leo simply fired a lightning beam from the two coils on his back at Darkstar, trying to keep a distance. Darkstar simply absorbed the lightning.

“Really? Energy against someone who absorbs energy? And I thought your father was stupid,” Darkstar insulted.

“Says the guy who thought trying to absorb the mana of the strongest magic user in existence, who also happens to be one of the best friends of the guy who had the strongest device in the universe in his arm, was a good idea." Frankenstrike tried to use his magnetic powers to repel Darkstar. "Besides, everyone has a limit. Maybe I can overload him...", he thought.

“OCTAVIA IS NOT THE MOST POWERFUL MAGIC USER!” Darkstar screamed.

He sent out a magical fist to punch Frankenstrike using the pull to his advantage.

Frankenstrike jumped out of the way, crashing down with an electrical shockwave. "Oh, looks like I found the touchy subject. Would that be you instead? Maybe you'd be better using your powers to tidy up yourself, instead of fighting teenagers, then.”

“Anyone claiming to be the most powerful magic user would be foolish. That title belongs to the mistress, Verdona!” he yelled.

He flipped over the shockwave before sending his own out.

“Those who do not bow to her will are enemies that shall be executed, starting with the Arthur-Levin household,” he let out.

Frankenstrike tried to use his magnetism to levitate over Darkstar's attack.

"Someone's a little too obsessed...But I don't think I'll get anywhere with this alien," he thought. "He can absorb my attacks and if I get close, he'll take the rest of my energy too. I wonder if..."

Frankenstrike attempted to use his electro-magnetic abilities to try and influence the Omnitrix in some way. Frankenstrike sparked the Omnitrix again as a magenta energy washed over him morphing his body into Ragdoll.

“Ooh, creepy!" Ragdoll shot out needles to attack Darkstar, still trying to stay away from him.

Darkstar got pinned as he enchanted a spell as the needles broke. He floated to Opehlia’s body as he teleported the two away.

“Great. Alone in an isolated zone of the creepy weird magical dimension, and the creepy weirdo that feeds on magic just took my friend." Leo tried to contact... well, anyone really but primarily V or his dad since they're the main ones who could get him out.

A portal opened up as Gren, as Portaler, stepped out with V. V examined the room in fear.

“I tried to fight back and protect her, but I couldn't do much against him... I have no idea where he could've taken her either. But, he did mention something about... Verdona? I think that was it. I'm... really sorry, I wish I had done better.", Leo said in a gloomy tone.

“This.. this wasn’t your fault… Darkstar had fallen into allegiance with my mother somehow… likely plans to use Ophelia to bring her back to the land of the living…” V mournfully explained.

“Let’s get you back home,” Portaler said.

"I... I don't wanna go home. I wanna help rescue Ophelia from that creep! If I'm gonna be a hero, I have to be prepared for that kind of situation, but I wasn't. So I want to make up for it by fixing it instead,” Leo countered.

“The time will come, but for now you need to rest. Let V and I handle tracking Mikey down,” Portaler said.

“...fine. Oh, uh, that reminds me, what ended up happening with the Kork situation? Did Sonny and Devlin handle it?" Leo asked.

“We sent Kevin to help clean it up,” Portaler said as he opened up a portal to Codon’s Earth Academy.

“Makes sense. So weird, Kork having the hostages draw maps for him... But I guess you're right, I can't take this hero thing too fast,” Leo agreed.

Leo grouped back up with Devlin, Sonny, and Kevin at Codon. Kevin watched over the kids while V and Gren, now transformed into Furlock, began to use different tracking methods to find Darkstar and Ophelia.

Devlin was very worried and a bit annoyed about what happened.

“We're gonna get her back, Dev. I'm sure of it", Leo said as he put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Devlin ignored Leo as Sonny grabbed themselves an energy drink from the fridge.

Leo sighed. "Maybe if I had familiarized myself better with the aliens I could've actually had a chance at fighting him off... I wish there was something I could do to help find Ophelia."

Furlock noticed his son’s mood and transformed back into Gren. He walked up to his son placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Let’s take a walk,” he said.

"...fine", Leo replied, though he didn't really want to.

“I know how you are feeling. I was the same way when I first got the Omnitrix. First it was Rojo, then Kevin, then Rex, then Kevin again. There will always be this feeling of having to do more and that’s fine. Use it to learn and improve for the future,” Gren started.

"...Really? Twice with Kevin? That... makes a lot of sense actually. Jokes aside, I kind of get what you're saying. It's just kind of frustrating, how the Omnitrix makes you feel like you do anything, yet it can't really solve some problems at first..." Leo replied.

“It’s all about adaptability. You seem to still be basing how you use this power on me, instead of focusing on your own way to use it and it’s forms,” Gren advised.

Leo paused for a moment. "I hadn't thought of that. I was just trying to do well... what you do. But I guess I do need to find out what my way of doing this is gonna be."

“Let’s try it out. Two to Danger Room X,” Gren called out.

The two of them were teleported to a holographic deck as Gren constructed the room into an abandoned cityscape.

“After you,” Gren gestured waiting for Leo to transform.

Leo slammed down the watch as he began to transform. First his foot combined into a two toed foot before growing a third toe out the back of his foot. A scale pattern started at his ankles as they began to travel up. When the scales got to his chest they turned into a cocoon around the entire body. The cocoon turned into wings as they unwrapped to reveal the fully transformed Big Chill.

“...cool." Big Chill opened his wings, taking on a battle stance. "Now what?"

Gren transformed into Spidermonkey and used his foot to taunt Leo into charging at him.

“Well, I guess we're really going to do this then." Big Chill phased into the ground, then rose up from below Spidermonkey with an ice weapon around his arm to strike him.

Spidermonkey webbed the weapon and took it out of Leo’s hands. He hen slingshotted himself into the air with his webs.

“Oooo… ahhh… gotta be quicker than that,” Spidermonkey teased.

Big Chill took off into the skies as well, using his frost breath to make Spidermonkey's webs too brittle to swing while going for a dive kick. When Big Chill got to Spidermonkey’s height he turned into Four Arms to tank both attacks before punching Big Chill back to the ground.He then changed into Tarpit as he landed and reformed into Heatblast.

“Dad! Quick-switching is cheating!" Big Chill said as he sank back into the ground once more and unleashed his freezing breath at Heatblast. "...unless you teach me how to do it.”

Heatblast broke out easily from the ice prison.

“You already know how, Leo. Just have to think it through and remember,” he replied before throwing a fire infused punch.

Big Chill became intangible right before the attack, then concentrated and hit watch, trying to change to the rock alien. It was a success as Leo changed into Dieorite. Dieorite used his Terrakinesis to throw Heatblast off balance and trap him between large stones. Gren changed into Armodrillo to break out.

“There you go, now you are getting the hang of it,” he said with a smile… or what would be a smile.

Maybe..." Realizing Armodrillo could do some serious damage to his rocky body, Dieorite tried changing again, this time to the robot he hasn’t tried yet, this time into Overflow. Before the training could continue, Octavia called them as she got a lock on Darkstar.

“Let’s go get him, then! Where did he take Ophelia?” Leo asked.

“My mother’s old castle…” V sighed.

Kevin rested his hand on his wife’s shoulder as Gren used Portaler again to go and recruit Rex and Circe from the Bug Jar. He returns with Sonny’s parents in tow.

“Are you sure you can step away from the Jar?” Kevin asked.

“Six, Holiday, and Bobo can handle it while we are away,” Rex said.

Leo changed into a human. "We'll need all the help we can get. Darkstar... looks like he's a little rusty but he's still really powerful."

“He will have help as well… he has managed to gain a cult for my mother. Known members being my sister…” Octavia said.

“A cult? Uh, just... how powerful is your mother exactly? I thought him calling her the most powerful magic user was just, you know... exaggeration?" Leo asked.

“It isn’t an exaggeration. I’m only a powerful magic user because of her training, but so is my sister,” Octavia replied.

Leo nodded. "Do we need anything else before going?"

Octavia nodded as she opened up a portal to Ledgerdomain. Leo readied the Omnitrix and stepped into the portal. As the group stepped through the portal, they came across the castle surrounded by rocky guards. Leo activates the Omnitrix turning into the first turtle icon he saw.

Reddish-purple scales grew from the watch covering his left arm. Leo blinked as his eyes went full magenta with huge eyebrows forming from them. A helmet formed around his head as his chin gained the scales and enlarged. The scales covered the rest of his body as a bodysuit appeared with a magenta flash finalizing the transformation into Slapback.

Slapback splits into four clones, each heading for a different guard. Slapback clears through them with ease especially with help from Gren who was Humungousaur. After clearing the way, Gren had changed forms into Gren-Aide granting him the randomized power of stillness inducement using it on any guards that came their way.

Slapback changed back into Overflow, using the water jets to move faster towards the castle and blast any remaining guards. Gren-Aide randomized a new power getting chi flame manipulation using it similar to Overflow’s water.

They busted through the main chamber’s doors to see Ophelia tied up with markings on her body with Micheal and Sunny in robes along with a few others. V eyed her sister with a look of hate.

“Let her go, Darkstar. You don’t have to do this," Leo called out.

“Correct. I don’t have to, I want to,” Darkstar said as he snapped his fingers.

The other members took off their robes revealing Zs'Skayr, Addwaitya , The Ghost King, and some girl with pink hair. Gren transformed into Snare-Oh using his powers like a slingshot towards Addwaitya before transforming into Rath.

V immediately used her powers and used an astral projection into the pink haired girl’s mind. Devlin absorbed the ground, coating his body in its rocky texture as did his father. Sonny took a deep breath and let out a scream at Ghost King who countered with his own.

Leo quick changes into Snorecupine and fires his quills at Darkstar, Sunny and the pink haired girl to paralyze them or put them to sleep. Sunny shielded herself and Darkstar while the pink haired girl fell to the floor. Zs’Skayr possesses Sonny who was the only one vulnerable to his powers creating Zs’Sonny.

“Sonny!" Snorecupine ran up to them and turned to Big Chill to freeze them in place.

Darkstar had finalized the ritual as Ophelia’s body started to float upwards and begin draining the lifeforce from everyone in the room causing Leo to transform back into human and fall to the floor.

Gren was resisting passing out and when he saw Leo hit the floor, he slammed down the Omnitrix transforming in a black and white flash that had a starry pattern. The flash died down revealing Alien X as he freely moved towards Ophelia who was possessed by Verdona.

Leo struggled to stay awake as he saw his dad take on that transformation.

"D-dad! Wait! There's... there has to be another way..." Leo got out before hitting the ground.

Alien X approached Verdophelia.

“Verdona! This is your one and only warning before I wipe you from existence,” he boomed with three voices.

“Oh? Is that you Caio? It’s so lovely to see you son. I do wish Octavia ended up with you instead of that delinquent,” she giggled from Ophelia’s body.

“Good-bye, Verdona,” he said as he snapped his fingers. A flash of light filled the room only for nothing to have changed.

Verdona waved her finger.

“I don’t think so kiddo. I won’t be that easy to defeat like last time,” she smiled.

Her eyes flashed pink, reverting Alien X to human and waking up her servants. Gren clenched his teeth as he transformed into Tyrannosaurus Hex using his dark art magic to wake up his own team.

As Leo came to, he quickly transformed into his last available transformation. Holes appeared on his chest as he inhaled air through them. As he exhaled his back hunched as a shell formed. As he took another breath his limbs went into his shell and came back out transformed as a magenta flash finalized the transformation into Terraspin.

Terraspin turned to his father. "Alright, what's the plan? How do you stop someone with that much power?"

“Hold them off as much as you can. I may have an idea,” Gren instructed as he transformed into Ghostfreak shedding his skin into his true form.

Leo gulped, not sure what the outcome of his dad choosing that form could be but certain it wouldn't be good. He then nodded and, taking on his flying form, made a beeline for the possessed Sonny and Ophelia - he was immune to magic, after all.

V’s eyes lit up as she channeled a fishing pole and casted it into Sonny reeling out Zs’Skayr and shredding his body apart with magic. Kevin and Devlin tag teamed Ghost King using their magical stone bodies to be immune to any magic he tried throwing at them.

Terraspin flew above them, and formed a strong wind to push and pin them to the ground. With Ghost King pinned Sonny made a thermos from tech they had on them and used it to capture Ghost King. Addwaitya threw his head at Terraspin before forming a new one. Darkstar took Sunny’s hand as they embraced before summoning a magic storm of their own.

Terraspin activated his magic immunity and braced himself for the physical effects of the oncoming attacks - if his goal was to buy time, all he had to do was tank the hits.

Meanwhile inside Opehlia’s head, Gren as Ghostfreak was inside it looking around as he came across a magical creation of Verdona who had Ophelia in a headlock.

“Take another step, son and this little halfbreed gets it,” Verdona threatened.

“Oh, I’ll stay right here, but I’m not the one you need to worry about. Opehlia can handle this all on her own,” Ghostfreak claimed.

“You are delusional. This child is weak and is only a vessel for my purity,” Verdonna sneered.

“Think about it. You, as powerful as you claim, trained her mother who also learned from others. She then taught Ophelia who also learned from new masters. Every generation gets stronger than those before it. I have the belief that Opehlia can beat you, just as I have the same faith that my son will one day surpass me as a great hero,” Gren smiled.

Ophelia listened and elbowed Verdona as her eyes glowed black as it faded into purple as everyone was brought back to the physical plane. Ghostfreak transformed back into Gren as Ophelia’s tattoos faded away. Her purple magic snapped the storm away as Addwaitya, Micheal, and Sunny were turned into little totems.

Ophelia fell to the ground caught by her dad as she held her head.

Terraspin flew to where Ophelia was caught and changed back. "Ophelia! You did it! Are you okay? I'm... I'm sorry I let this happen to you, I should've done more to stop Darkstar..."

“I’m fine… more powerful than I realize..” she looked at Gren then to Leo.

"I'm sure of it", he said, looking back at his dad, “And here I thought we'd have it easier than the original Team GOLD..."

With everything over, they returned to Codon where Sonny turned Ghost King over to the proper division of Plumbers, who wore orange armored suits opposed to white. Once things cooled down, Gren made a press announcement that he’d be going inactive as a hero to train Leo. He’d still hero in dire situations, but day to day he’d be taking a job teaching at Codon Academy’s Earth station.

In Gren’s office, his son was there with him as the finishing touches were placed on his Omnitrix.

“Should be the final thing we need, go ahead and try it out,” Gren smiled.

"Alright!" Leo slammed the dial without even looking.

With a bright magenta flash Leo had transformed.
