(In Chinatown, a celebration was going on in full swing as a parade led by a dragon dancer and a group of Asian characters passed by a drugstore that our heroes walked out of as Max held the cold remedy Ben needed in hand as he shrugged in disappointment.)
Max: "You know, it's so hard to find fresh potaigadon root anymore."
(he said.)
Max: "It's all freeze-dried nowadays."
(Ben coughed into his hand a few times.)
Ben: "Can I get a milkshake or something? My throat is killing me."
Jen: "Um, last I checked, it was frozen treats that got you into this mess in the first place, bro."
(Jen said.)
Max: "Besides, the stinkweed honey in the San Ju Yen Pien coats your entire esophageal area."
(Max said, handing Ben the container.)
(Ben unscrewed the cap and inhaled the stench from it and almost gagged from the powerful odor.)
Ben: "And that's a good thing?"
(Jen caught a whiff of the remedy as it traveled to her nose and she held her throat as if she was being strangled and cried out in agony.)
Jen: "Oh, that is so vile! It smells like a dead body!"
(she exclaimed.)
Gwen: "So where exactly did you learn how to make this stuff, Grandpa?"
(Gwen asked.)
Max: "I picked it up from a monk in Guangdong, China."
(her grandfather said, earning suspicious glances from all three of his grandchildren.)
Max: "They have plumbing in China too, you know."
(The group heard feedback from a loudspeaker as they drew their attention to Chinatown's own Councilwoman Liang speaking from a podium.)
Liang: "Ladies and gentlemen."
(she said, unaware that a wasp flew onto the podium's microphone.)
Liang: "I want to thank all of you for your support of my downtown redevelopment program. It's truly a dream come true."
(As she was speaking, more wasps flew overhead, catching the audience's attention as they all shot their attention to Clancy, who was flying on a swarm of wasps, prompting them all to run away, screaming as he glared at the councilwoman.)
Clancy: "Better make that a nightmare, councilwoman."
(he said angrily.)
(His eyes glowed green as he controlled the wasps, which dispersed overhead the audience, which caused them to run.)
Gwen: "Wasps!"
(Gwen exclaimed as they all tried in vain to swat them away as they all ran away from the are as Clancy turned his attention to Liang.)
Clancy: "You're not tearing down our apartment building! We won't let you!"
Liang: "You're the nutjob who wouldn't leave!"
(she realized.)
Clancy: "Nice to know we made an impression."
(he said as his eyes glowed and the wasps swarmed around Liang and carried her to Clancy.)
Liang: "What are you doing?"
Clancy: "Just bringing you home for dinner. You're the main course!"
(Ben sniffed as he watched the action going on and wiped his nose as he activated the Omnitrix and glared.)
Ben: "This looks like a job for- ah... ah... ah-choo!"
(He sneezed before he slammed the core down, initiating the transformation in a flash of green light, transforming into Wildmutt, but something seemed different about him.)
(His fur was a paler orange than normal and his gills seemed to be clogged with mucus.)
(His lips and claws were tinted green as well.)
(Wildmutt growled and sneezed as the camera switched to his point of view, which showed a black screen with a few flecks of white.)
(He looked around, confused, before he growled and shot off in a random direction before crashing into one of the fair's stands.)
(He turned around and crashed into another stand and gagged and coughed again before he ran off.)
Gwen: "Has Ben gone rabid or what?"
(Gwen asked as the others looked on.)
Max: "Ben's cold must be affecting Wildmutt's sense of smell. With his schnoz clogged, he can't tell where he's going."
(Max said.)
Gwen: "Okay, furball."
(Gwen shouted as she leaped on top of the alien dog.)
Gwen: "I'm driving!"
(She then pulled on his shoulders as he ran off and she struggled to hang on.)
Gwen: "Go left!"
(she said as he pulled in a bad directtion.)
Gwen: "No, your other left!"
(Jen shook her head before she activated her Omnitrix and slammed down the core in a flash of pink light.)
(Chlorophyll replaced the blood in her veins as a light green color trailed over her skin before shooting up to her eye as she clutched it shut and opened it to reveal it was replaced with a pink color with green sclera.)
(Her clothes were replaced with a white, red and pink dress that seemed like it was made from flower petals as pink cuffs grew from her wrists and and a belt made from vines appeared on her waist along with the Omnitrix symbol and her hair morphed into a green flower bud as she struck a pose and the transformation finished as she glared.)
Blossom Rose: "I can't think of anything better to deal with wasps than a flower."
(she said.)
Max: "Good thinking, Jen."
(Max said as Blossom Rose ran off to join the battle.)
(Gwen and Wildmutt dashed through the stands, avoiding the crowd as she dodged the battle.)
(They ran on for awhile until Wildmutt crashed into a fireworks stand, knocking Gwen into the crates.)
(Gwen struggled to get the crates off her as it pressed down on her legs as the wasps continued to swarm.)
(Unfortunately, they knocked down a lantern stand, causing the lanterns to crash.)
(One of them caught fire, which led to a fallen banner, igniting it as it trailed toward Gwen.)
Gwen: "Help!"
(she shouted as she struggled to get the stand off of her.)
(The fire trailed towards her before lighting the wick to the fireworks as Blossom Rose gasped and shot her hand out and vines shot out of her fingers and wrapped around a barrel of wonton soup, which she then tossed at Gwen, extinguishing the wick, leaving Gwen soaked and covered in dumplings.)
Gwen: "Thanks, cuz."
(she said as Blossom Rose smiled at her and lifted the crate off her.)
Gwen: "I hope you don't mind chicken dumplings."
(she said as Blossom Rose noticed her brother running blindly as she looked at the wasps.)
Blossom Rose: "I gotta stop him before someone gets hurt."
(She then sighed before she stomped her foot against the ground and some rather thick roots shot out of the ground and wrapped around her brother's feet, trapping him as she turned to him.)
Blossom Rose: "Sorry bro, this is for your own good."
(she said as she looked to see the wasps carrying Clancy and Councilwoman Liang away before she turned to the wasps terrorizing the crowd as she sighed.)
Blossom Rose: "We'll deal with him later. But for now..."
(She jumped up to the podium and spread her hands together and raised her hands as her pores released a cloud of vibrant smelling proudly as the wasps all turned blindly to her and swarmed around her before she smirked.)
Blossom Rose: "Suckers."
(she said before she shot her hands to the sky again and released a cloud a pesticide from her pores that surrounded the wasps and they all dropped to the podium, dead as a doornail before the crowd zoomed up to her and applauded her as she smiled at them.)
Blossom Rose: "Once again, Blossom Rose saves the day."
(She, Max and Gwen then looked to the absolutely miserable-looking Wildmutt as he pawed at the ground as Blossom Rose's expression suddenly changed as she felt extremely bad for her brother, knowing how much he made a fool of himself.)
(The Tennysons regrouped inside the Rust Bucket as they all looked to Ben who groaned as his joints were still sore from the crashes.)
Ben: "Ouch! Oh man, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse."
Max: "Here."
(Max said, handing him the medicine.)
Max: "This will help."
(Ben smelled it before gagging again as Jen looked from outside of the window as she shook her head.)
Ben: "Aw yuck!"
Jen: "I am not going in that vehicle as long as that medicine is present in there."
(Jen said to Max as he laid his phone down on the phone with the speaker on.)
Max: "Don't worry."
(Max said.)
Max: "It smells worse than it tastes. Or is that the other way around?"
(He shrugged his shoulders as he sat by his grandson's side.)
Max: "It's not just you I'm worried about. Seems like your bug has spread to all your aliens too. No telling how it'll affect them."
(Ben winced as he drank down the medicine before he groaned once it was down the shoot.)
Ben: "That was so grim."
Max: "Don't worry. After ten or so doses, you'll start to get used to it."
Ben: "Ugh."
(Ben groaned.)
Ben: "I don't know what's worse. The cold or the cure."
Gwen: "Got it."
(Gwen said as she sat at her laptop as Jen walked into the RV and Max and Ben walked over to her.)
Jen: "What is it?"
(Jen asked her cousin.)
Gwen: "Bug-Eye said something about knocking down his apartment building. Well the only apartment downtown left that's scheduled for demolition is at 8610 Chester St."
(As she said this, Ben snuck the drawer next to the bed seat open and put the San Ju Yen Pien into it before closing it.)
Ben: "What Grandpa doesn't know won't hurt him."
(Meanwhile, at Clancy's apartment building, he was holding Councilwoman Liang prisoner as her body was swarmed by black widow spiders as she cringed in absolutely paralyzing fear.)
Liang: "Please, don't hurt me."
(she begged Clancy.)
Clancy: "Black widows."
(he warned.)
Clancy: "You shouldn't make any sudden moves. Our grandfather built this building. We grew up here."
(he said as he gestured to the thousands of bugs that were swarming around the walls of the building.)
Clancy: "Just me and my little friends. They are the only ones who understand. And no one is evicting us."
