(Ben slammed against the trees like a pinball as the others chased after him.)
Max: "Ben!"
(Max shouted before Ben slammed into them and they all crashed into a ravine as the Omnitrixes timed out in a flash of red and purple light and they landed in a cloud of dust.)
Ben: "Oh man. This watch gives me a new alien out of the blue and all it can do is roll around! Totally no fair!"
(Ben shouted.)
Jen: "You're talking about unfair? What kind of girl wants to transform into a skunk of all things?"
(Jen whined.)
Gwen: "Oh, that's right. Let's not worry about the fact that some giant planet sucker is about to wipe Earth off the face of the universe!"
(Gwen reminded them.)
Gwen: "Because that's fair!"
Max: "Are you sure you can't call Scarlett for this one?"
(Max asked.)
Jen: "I think she has her own fish to fry right now."
(Jen said.)
(Suddenly, the leaves started falling off of the trees around them as they mutated into grey ugly husks as they all looked on in fear.)
Ben: "The trees are changing."
(Ben said.)
Max: "We have to get back up on that hill and destroy it."
(Max said.)
Max: "Before it destroys everything."
(The Tennysons then crawled up the hill and once they reached the peak, they gasped as they saw ugly grey tendrils swarming out of the ground.)
Jen: "Um, those weren't here when we rolled down the hill, were they? Everything's kind of a blur."
(Jen said.)
Gwen: "No, I think we would've remembered them."
(Gwen said nervously.)
Max: "That big tick's poison is mutating the landscape!"
(Max realized.)
(The tendrils then shot towards Gwen who recoiled in disgust.)
Gwen: "Get your slimy whatever-they-are away from me!"
(she shouted, slapping a tendril away.)
(Unfortunately, they seemed to take offense to this and wrapped around her waist, lifting her up.)
(They did the same to the other three, who struggled in their grasp as the twins started dialing their Omnitrixes and Jen gulped as the tendrils retreated into the ground.)
Jen: "Um, guys. Wouldn't now be a good time to go hero?"
Ben: "I'm trying! But what if I turn into something else that's useless?"
(Ben asked.)
Gwen: "We're sinking!"
(she shouted as the tendrils retreated into the ground with them in grasp.)
(Jen's eyes then started glowing pink as Ben finally got his Omnitrix working and slammed down the core.)
Jen: "Let. Us! GO!"
(Jen shouted at the top of her lungs and she burst out of the ground in an explosion of pink energy as she started levitating in the air before stopping on an energy platform she formed under her feet as Stinkfly burst out of the ground following her and started floating alongside her.)
Stinkfly: "Get the others!"
(Stinkfly ordered as they flew downwards as Jen grabbed Gwen and Stinkfly grabbed Max as they started flying away as Jen formed multiple platforms under her feet as she ran away from the tentacles, keeping up with Ben.)
Gwen: "Wow."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "Your powers are getting stronger."
Jen: "Practice makes perfect, Gwen."
(Jen said as she gave out an energy slash that severed a ton of tendrils that chased after them.)
Gwen: "We really need to get you some underwing deodorant, Ben."
(Gwen said as Stinkfly glared.)
Stinkfly: "I don't call this guy Stinkfly for nothing!"
(The tendrils then shot back out of the ground and wrapped around Max's leg as he glared.)
Max: "I never was one for tug-of-war."
(Max said as he kicked the tendrils off of him and Jen swooped down, using her self levitation before she released an energy burst from her hands that severed the tendrils and set them on fire.)
Jen: "That's enough of that."
(Jen said as she created an energy platform beneath her feet that she used to levitate right by her brother's side.)
Jen: "Let's tick off a tick!"
Stinkfly: "I hear that!"
(Stinkfly said as they flew towards the Great One's location as the tendrils shot back out from the mutant trees as they avoided them before Jen severed them with her energy swipes as they glared.)
Jen: "If I never see another giant bug again after this, it'll be too soon."
(Jen said, facepalming as they headed towards the Great One.)
(Meanwhile, the worshippers were still doing their business when they heard the ground start to shake.)
middle alien: "What was that?"
(the middle alien asked as they looked over and saw the infected Old Faithful start to puff up like an infected sore.)
tall alien: "It appears part of this planet is about to be liberated."
(the tall alien smirked.)
(The small alien then went back to the Great One and listened to it speak some more.)
small alien: "Yes. Yes, I understand."
(he said before turning to his companions.)
middle alien: "What did he say?"
(the middle alien asked.)
small alien: "He wishes us to see the effects of his greatness and go witness his supreme and ultimate power."
(The worshippers then flew over to Old Faithful to see it burst.)
(The gang flew overhead and examined the horrific sight of the Great One's workings.)
Max: "Yellowstone's becoming more and more poisoned."
(Max said.)
(They then heard the pulsing of Old Faithful from close by.)
Jen: "What was that noise?"
(Jen asked.)
Max: "Sounds like Old Faithful's ready to blow."
(Max said.)
Max: "And I don't know what that tick's poison is going to do to it when it does."
Gwen: "I don't want to find out, Grandpa."
(Gwen said, shuddering at the thought.)
Stinkfly: "One detour coming up!"
(Stinkfly said as he and Jen flew towards the toxic cloud of steam that signalled Old Faithful.)
(At said infected geyser, the alien worshippers examined when they saw Stinkfly and Jen's silhouettes closing in on them as they flew towards them.)
tall alien: "I have visual recognition on the elderly man and the prepubescent female. And there's another human with them."
(the tall alien reported.)
tall alien: "But what are they riding on?"
Stinkfly: "Two tons of putrid power!"
(Stinkfly shouted as he and his sister flew in as Jen fired several energy bolts at them, knocking them off course.)
Jen: "Move it or lose it punks!"
(Jen shouted.)
tall alien: "Not until we witness the eruption of the Great One's power."
Stinkfly: "Sorry, but that's not going to happen today!"
(Stinkfly shouted as they looked to see the geyser.)
Stinkfly: "Jen, you think you can form a forcefield around it until it releases its pressure?"
Jen: "Maybe."
(Jen said, rubbing her arm.)
Jen: "But I've never made one that big before. And even if I could, I don't know if it'll hold against all that pressure."
Stinkfly: "You've got to try or who knows what will happen?"
(Stinkfly asked.)
Jen: "You're right."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "But you plug it so that it won't burst on me."
Stinkfly: "Sure thing sis."
(Stinkfly said as Jen tossed Gwen to him as he flew in and spat his slime at the geyser, plugging it up as Jen leaped off of her platform and glared at the geyser before taking in a deep breath.)
Jen: "Here goes nothing."
(she said as she focused and her eyes and hands started glowing as she formed a huge pink forcefield around Old Faithful and clasped her fingers together before slowly lowering them to the ground as the geyser carefully and slowly released its pressure as Jen's nose started to bleed from using so much energy.)
(After she carefully lowered the pressure down so that the clogged geyser stopped rumbling entirely, leaving just a sore in the ground, she hit to her knees and started breathing heavily.)
(Stinkfly then flew in and she grabbed his tail as he flew them to a safe spot, setting them down as Max put a hand around his exhausted granddaughter.)
(The aliens looked on annoyed as they made their escape.)
Max: "You okay, kiddo?"
(Max asked as Jen wiped her nose.)
Jen: "I'll be fine."
(she said.)
Jen: "I've just never used that much energy at once before."
Stinkfly: "I'm going after them."
(Stinkfly said.)
Stinkfly: "This fly is flying solo."
Jen: "Ben, we're partners."
(Jen said, standing up before stumbling and putting her hands on her knees.)
Stinkfly: "No, Jen. You're completely pooped after that geyser thing. I don't think you could survive one minute against them in your current state."
(Stinkfly said.)
Gwen: "As much as I hate to admit it, he's right."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "I think you're going to have to sit this one out."
(The middle alien let out several energy swipes from his axe as the other two fired energy beams as Stinkfly avoided them all, before sliming the middle alien's face, causing him to lose focus as Stinkfly flew away.)
(He then ripped the slime off his face before he glared after the insectoid alien.)
middle alien: "Get him."
(They chased through the sky before Stinkfly flew high up in the air and disappeared behind the clouds, making the aliens loose sight of him.)
tall alien: "Where did he disappear to?"
(the tall alien asked.)
(Stinkfly suddenly appeared and sought to divebomb them from the sky.)
Stinkfly: "Oh yeah! Who's bad? Oh yeah!"
(suddenly, his Omnitrix started beeping down, much to his horror.)
Stinkfly: "Oh no!"
(The Omnitrix timed out, leaving Ben free falling helplessly through the sky.)
Ben: "Help!"
Max and Jen: "Ben!"
(Max and Jen shouted from down below.)
(Ben then gasped as he shot his arms out and caught the hoverboard of the smaller alien, sending him crashing into one of the mutated trees, dazed.)
Ben: "Oh man."
(Ben said, struggling to control the hoverboard.)
Ben: "Where's an instruction manual when you need it? I never had this much trouble with Tetrax's hoverboard."
(He then, albeit with difficulty, flew the hoverboard to the tick's area with the other two worshippers following suit.)
Ben: "Come on."
(Ben said as he slowly started to stand up and gain his balance as he started to get the hang of the hoverboard.)
(Jen then finally felt her energy return to her as she pressed a button on her Omnitrix and the twin's hoverboards flew out of the Rust Bucket towards her.)
Jen: "Hang ten!"
(she shouted as she hopped on her hoverboard and flew right back into the action as the worshippers flew towards her brother.)
tall alien: "We have you now, human."
(the tall alien said before he was struck by a pink energy ray as Jen flew in while laying down relaxed on the hoverboard as she smiled at her brother.)
Jen: "Hey, Einstein, you already have a board."
(Jen said as she tossed Ben's board to him and he leaped onto it as he flew alongside his sister towards the Great One.)
(The medium and tall alien prepared to fire their energy beams at them as Jen looked nervously.)
Jen: "Ben, now!"
(she shouted as she ducked under them on her board as Ben went over as the beams hit the alien opposite them.)
Ben: "Strike!"
(Ben said as the chase continued as they advanced towards the tick.)
Jen: "Hurry up, Ben!"
(Jen shouted.)
Jen: "We're in the weeds!"
(They continued dodging the energy blasts and swipes before they saw the clogged Old Faithful there in the ground as she smiled.)
Jen: "This is your captain speaking."
(she smirked.)
Jen: "We are now making our descent!"
(They then flew down towards Old Faithful and right when they were about to hit it, they pulled up as Ben smirked to the now helpless aliens.)
middle alien: "Get us out of here!"
(the middle alien growled.)
Ben: "Thank you for flying Air Omni!"
(Ben shouted as the two aliens hit the clogged geyser and were covered head to toe in tick slime as the twins then flew down to their cousin and grandfather who were waiting for them below.)
Max: "Never seen an intergalactic fender bender like that before."
(Max commented as the twins smiled at them as Jen used her telekinesis to toss Max the small alien's hoverboard.)
Jen: "Anyone need a lift?"
