The Ultra family had just finished saving a collapsing bridge. Among them were Peter, Mark, Sophie, Debbie, and Rita, while their foster parents Jenna and Mason were at their respective workplaces, trying to balance their hero lives with their normal lives. The family gathered on top of a high building to discuss their recent success.
"Come on, guys! We have to continue working together," said Peter, taking charge as their leader. "Let's not get distracted by fame."
"Relax, bro, we've got this," replied Mark. "It wasn't such a big deal. We saved the most expensive bridge in the world from collapsing."
"Except when you almost ran into me while being distracted by the ladies," said Rita.
"Oh, that was something else. My bad," Mark responded sheepishly.
"Don't worry, bro. We've been saving the city and the world for a thousand years during your absence," Mark assured him. "Don't push yourself too hard. We've got your back."
Debbie approached Peter for comfort, reminding him that he had the support of his family and that he shouldn't be overly protective of them.
"You're right, my love," Peter agreed, giving Debbie a smooch. "Are you done, sir?" he said, turning to Mark, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"Just be safe out there," Peter said, and they all transformed into their hero forms and took off.
The next day, the kids prepared for school as usual, and Mason drove them there.
"Have fun and don't get into trouble, okay kids?" Mason said. "Daddy loves you all."
"Love you too, Dad," they replied in unison.
During school break, Peter met with Debbie in the hallway. They hugged and kissed each other passionately before heading to their respective classes. The class sessions were great, but during the break period, something unexpected happened. The Ultra AI alerted the teenage kids about giant robots invading Vill-City.
The teenagers exchanged glances, understanding the unspoken message. They quickly made their exit and rushed into action. They arrived at the scene in their transformed states. Peter, in his Ultra White form, scanned the massive robots and detected that they were made by humans, utilizing advanced technology. He informed the others about this discovery, preparing them for the upcoming battle.
They battled against the robots and successfully saved the civilians from harm. Ultra Black Mark effortlessly sliced the robots in half, and when he transformed into Ultra Gold Mark, he grew to an enormous size, easily preventing a skyscraper from collapsing and protecting the civilians inside.
"Mark has a new transformation!" Peter exclaimed in surprise, his voice echoing through their ultra comms.
"Yeah! He does, and so does everyone," Rita replied. "When? How come no one told me about it?" Peter asked.
"And why haven't I received any new transformations, Ultra AI?" Peter questioned his AI.
"You do have new transformations, Peter McCoy. But your impatience has prevented me from granting you access to them," Ultra AI responded.
"That's rude! After everything we've been through," Peter retorted, the rest of the Ultra family hearing his conversation with the Ultra AI.
"Exactly my point, Peter McCoy," Ultra AI replied.
"That's a bummer, bro," Mark said while maintaining his hold on the skyscraper.

Meanwhile, Ultra Debbie saved everyone by firing an arrow that opened a teleporter, safely transporting the people to a secure location. After working together as a team and defeating the robots, they discovered that the robots were created by Lyrecius Corp.
"These robots are your dad's doing," Peter remarked.
"Yeah! He's always trying to get rid of us, wanting to take sole credit as the hero while we clean up his mess and protect his secret identity to preserve his image," Rita expressed.
"Does he know?" Peter asked Debbie.
"No, he doesn't know that I am Ultra AI," Debbie replied.
Suddenly, one of the defeated massive robots swung its right hand, knocking Peter off course. The rest of the team managed to evade the attack, some by phasing through it.
The robot continued to grow in size, surpassing even the towering Ultra Gold Mark. Mark adjusted his size accordingly to match the robot's, engaging it in an intense battle. The robot's defense systems became enhanced, and it unleashed powerful blasts from its power core directly at Ultra Gold Mark. However, Mark absorbed the energy, preventing the destruction of the entire city.
Both opponents clashed their fists together, creating a tremendous shockwave that leveled mountains in the distance and shattered buildings for miles around. The robot appeared to be overloading its systems, heading towards self-destructive mode.
The Ultra family quickly scanned the situation and realized the gravity of the problem. Sophie spoke up, expressing the urgency of the situation. "If that explosive goes off, it will level the planet and create a powerful black hole. We must stop it from happening."
Rita turned to Debbie, questioning their father's intentions. "What was your dad thinking?"
"I can't believe that man is going to be our in-law," Sophie added, expressing her disappointment. "Sorry to say."
Debbie responded, "None taken."
Debbie then contemplated a possible solution. "So what now? Maybe I could teleport it elsewhere if I try."
Sophie shook her head, disagreeing. "I don't think that would work. It might absorb the teleportation and accelerate the explosive charge."
Mark, struggling to keep up with the robot's erratic behavior, chimed in, "So what now, genius?"
"Sophie!" Debbie called out. "Construct a shield around the entire city and shrink it down to a subatomic level."
Sophie, taking charge as the team's strategist, immediately began constructing the shield as instructed by Debbie.
Peter, responding to Sophie's guidance, transformed into Ultra Diamond with the assistance of his Ultra AI. Debbie noticed the transformation before Peter did and informed him, along with the rest of the team. Peter created a perimeter and started absorbing the massive energy emitted by the unstable robot, cloning himself in his new Ultra Diamond form.
Rita, witnessing Peter's transformation, exclaimed, "Omg! Peter, you're transforming!"
"Peter has a new transformation! Wow, that's great. I'm really proud of you, big bro," Mark exclaimed, amazed by Peter's newfound power. Mark, being colossal in size, could observe everything at a subatomic level despite the minuscule scale.
"It's about time!" Peter remarked to his Ultra AI.
"You're welcome, Peter McCoy. I'll take that as a compliment," Ultra AI replied.
Sophie then instructed Debbie, "And Debbie, it's time to get smaller. Enter its master system control, crash whatever you can, and wait for my signal."
"Right!" Debbie responded, following Sophie's instructions. She penetrated the massive robot at an atomic size, causing havoc within its internal systems before further shrinking to a subatomic level.
"And now, it's my turn," Sophie whispered to herself, determined to execute her plan. With the rest of the team in position, Sophie underwent a new transformation into Ultra Green, growing to match the massive size of the robot. She shielded herself, the robot, and Mark with Debbie from the inside.
Communicating with the rest of the team, Sophie informed them that the explosion would be contained and not cause any harm to the planet. She instructed Debbie to shrink the robot's core, triggering the explosion after she quickly overloaded it using her advanced lasso technology.
The resulting explosion was immense, engulfing the surroundings in darkness. However, with their combined forces and strategic moves, they emerged victorious and safeguarded their world from total annihilation. Everyone and everything remained unharmed, the robot utterly destroyed, and the city returned to its normal size. The people cheered for their heroes, grateful for their bravery and success.
After the mission, back at their apartment, known as their Ultra Lair, Peter felt compelled to inquire about his Ultra family's unique transformations. They explained that their transformations granted them the ability to do whatever they needed, emphasizing that the specific forms were inconsequential. According to their Ultra AI, all transformations possessed limitless potential. Their true purpose was to conceal their identities from higher beings who possessed immunity or awareness of the true manifestation of the Xentorium core potentials.
The Ultra AIs also disclosed that these higher beings, ranked from cosmic to maniversal beings across creation, were on their way.
