(The Tennysons were camping out at Yellowstone National Park as Gwen and Max admired the beauty of the park's nature as Max took in a breath of deep air and sighed in satisfaction.)
Max: "Ah."
(Max said.)
Max: "Nothing like relaxing in the peace and quiet of the great outdoors."
Ben: "Darn it! Darn it!"
(they heard Ben say as he and his sister walked up, fiddling with the Omnitrixes.)
Ben: "I hate this stupid thing."
Gwen: "...Or not."
(Gwen said.)
(As Ben was fiddling with his watch, a radio gave out a special report as he shrugged and shook his head.)
Radio: "Astronomers at Mt. Hamilton have caught a glimpse of a small meteor and it appears to be headed toward the northwest part of the state."
Max: "What's the matter, guys?"
(Max asked.)
Ben: "I'd figure I'd go XLR8 and hit that burger place in Casper to pick up a double cheeseburger with pickles, but it looks like I'm stuck here."
Jen: "And I figured I'd try to go Blossom Rose to try to grow some fresh vegetables for Grandpa to cook up instead, but it looks like I'm going hungry today... again."
(Jen shrugged.)
Gwen: "Guys, Yellowstone just happens to be one of the coolest places around. Just hang out and appreciate it."
(Gwen said, folding her arms.)
Max: "Gwen's right."
(Max said as he walked over to a log and pushed it, revealing some grub worms that were crawling around in the mud underneath it as he smiled.)
Max: "And we can life right off of the land. Mealworms. Good for protein."
(He then slurped it right down the hatch, much to the kid's disgust.)
Everyone: "Ew!"
(they all shouted.)
Max: "Grill 'em up with a sun-dried tomato paste, they are-"
Gwen: "Maybe I can help!"
(Gwen said, adjusting Ben's Omnitrix as Jen did the same with her's.)
Gwen: "I'll have my burger with chili."
Ben: "I can appreciate that."
(Ben said as he pressed a button and his sister did the same before they were engulfed in a flash of green and pink light.)
(Unfortunately, the alien forms they were turned into were not what they were expecting.)
(Ben was a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armor plating on his back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms.)
(He was mostly white, with black on his upper half.)
(He had four claws on both of his hands.)
(He originally had sharp teeth.)
(He wore the Omnitrix symbol on his forehead and his eyes are yellow.)
(Jen was an anthropomorphic skunk with pink fur, white patches on her paws with her bottom paws completely white and white stripes that went from her neck to her long bushy tail on her slightly larger rear She was about as tall as a teenage girl and she wore a pink leotard on her midsection with the Omnitrix symbol just below her breastbones.)
(Due to the sudden shift in weight, Ben lost his balance and crashed down onto the ground, landing on Jen's tail as she yelped out in pain and yanked it out.)
Jen: "Hey, watch the tail!"
(she whined, rubbing it.)
(Ben looked at himself and gasped.)
Ben: "Uh, guys, what am I?"
(he asked in a deep throaty voice.)
Gwen: "That's a heroic pose."
(Gwen stated as Ben groaned.)
Ben: "Very funny."
(he said as Jen looked herself over and checked out her paws and wagged her tail and gasped.)
Jen: "I'm a skunk."
(she said, slightly embarrassed.)
Jen: "Holy cow, I'm a skunk."
(Gwen and Max walked up and helped Ben up onto his feet.)
Ben: "I can't believe I'm a new hero."
(Ben said.)
Jen: "Neither can I."
(Jen said, still waggling her tail around and trying to hold it in.)
Max: "And where there's one more, who knows? There could be a hundred more."
(Max said.)
Ben: "Well as long as they're not as useless as this one is..."
(Ben said, shrugging.)
Ben: "So what do you think he does?"
(He then inhaled a large breath and exhaled sharply... nothing.)
Ben: "So much for breathing fire. Maybe I can fire freeze rays from my eyes?"
(He then focused really sharply... nada.)
Ben: "Magnetic blasts?"
(He then shot a few hand poses out... still not a thing happening.)
Jen: "Stop making a fool of yourself, bro."
(Jen said, tapping her paw on the ground.)
Ben: "Why aren't you trying to see what your powers are?"
(Ben asked.)
Jen: "I'm a skunk, Ben."
(she said.)
Jen: "What do you think my powers are?"
(He then sniggered slightly before Jen walked over and pointed her clawed finger at him with a glare.)
Jen: "Don't you dare or else I will kill you with one whiff of my fumes!"
(she said.)
(Gwen then glanced upwards and saw a giant meteorite come hurtling towards them and she gasped out loud.)
Gwen: "Duck!"
(The others ducked out of the way as the two new aliens glanced upwards as Jen then glanced upwards at the flaming ball of death hurtling towards her.)
Jen: "Eek!"
(she shouted as a cloud of toxic gas burst from her rear as she held her head down, embarrassed as she ran off, her tail between her legs as Ben shouted out and landed on the ground as the meteor landed a little ways away in the park as he groaned.)
Ben: "This guy's gotta go."
(he said.)
(Suddenly, as he curled up in an attempt to get up, his armored plates curled up around him, forming an indestructible ball that rolled down the hill and towards the crash site of the meteor as the others looked on.)
Gwen: "Don't you mean gotta roll?"
(Gwen asked as the three looked on.)
Max: "Look on the bright side. You're heading in the direction of the meteor."
(Max said as he ran off with the other two following him.)
Jen: "Gwen, promise me you won't make fun of me for this girl's farts."
(Jen pleaded.)
Gwen: "Who am I to make fun of nature?"
(Gwen asked.)
Gwen: "Just please don't eat any tofu or beans when you're this girl?"
Jen: "Done."
(Jen said.)
(They then followed the rollaway Ben who rolled down the crater that the meteor left until he came to a halt when he was directly in front of it, before standing up and saw just how big it was as Jen, Gwen and Max arrived next to him.)
Ben: "Whoa."
(he said.)
Ben: "It's huge."
(Suddenly, the ground started to shake and tremble, causing Ben to fall over again as they saw the meteor start to split open, as if something was inside of it.)
Jen: "And alive."
(Jen said in awe.)
(They looked up and through the cracks in the meteor, six legs burst out of its shell.)
(The Tennysons ran away from the scene (or, in Ben's case, rolled away) as the giant alien beast took its form and fragments of the meteor shell rained down on them.)
(They then stopped and took a look at the giant beast.)
(It was a huge tick-like alien with a pink and red shell and abdomen with giant blue eye-like pores on the sides of its shell, six dark blue legs, and deep pink tendrils coming out of its mouth.)
(It then stabbed its legs into the ground for stabilization and stabbed its mouth tendrils into the ground and started sucking.)
(The pores on its shell released a green gas.)
(Once the gas faded into the atmosphere, the gang fanned away the foul stench.)
Max: "Ugh, and aromatic."
(Max said.)
Gwen: "I thought that was Ben not taking a shower for three days."
(Gwen remarked as Max walked over to the tick to investigate.)
Ben: "Four. And counting."
(Ben corrected.)
Jen: "You can't possibly smell worse than I do right now."
(Jen sighed.)
(Suddenly, a large needle like spaceship appeared in they sky, not going unnoticed by our heroes as the hatch opened up and three aliens emerged from it.)
(The first was a tall, pale-skinned alien with six tentacle-like feet.)
(The second was shorter with six arms and yellow skin.)
(The final one was of medium height, has four eyestalks, and carries a large axe.)
tall alien: "Rejoice."
(the tall alien announced.)
tall alien: "He's arrived in all of his glorious glory."
Jen: "Redundant much?"
(Jen asked.)
(The three aliens then departed on three hoverboard-like devices towards the tick.)
(The short alien in particular flew up to the tick and pressed its ear to it, as if trying to listen to what he was saying.)
short alien: "I await his proclomation."
(he said.)
Max: "Who are you guys?"
(Max asked, suspicious.)
tall alien: "Relax. We come in peace."
(the tall alien said.)
Gwen: "That's what the bad aliens always say."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "Right before they blow you to bits."
Jen: "How do you know that you're not lying?"
small alien: "Relax, Skunkian."
(the small alien said.)
middle alien: "Hmm, an earthling with attitude."
(the middle alien said, flying by.)
middle alien: "I heard they exist here in large numbers. Or should I say did."
tall alien: "And an Arburian Pelarota to boot."
(the tall alien said as he glared.)
Gwen: "At least we know what you two are now."
(Gwen whispered to the twins.)
tall alien: "His presence here must be assigned provided by the Great One."
(the tall alien said.)
tall alien: "Is he not tremendous?"
Both: "Tremendous."
(his friends agreed.)
All Aliens: "All hail the Tremendous One."
(the aliens all chorused.)
(The middle alien then flew by Ben.)
middle alien: "But you two are a little far from home, aren't you?"
Ben: "Actually, closer than you think."
(Ben said.)
middle alien: "Unfortunately, there's nothing to go back to. We purified your planet last week."
short alien: "Shh!'
(the short alien interrupted.)
short alien: "Everyone quiet down. He's speaking to me."
(The others listened closely, only to hear dead silence.)
Gwen: "I don't hear anything."
(Gwen said.)
short alien: "Only I speak his language."
(the short alien explained before going back to the tick.)
short alien: "The Great One says... your planet will be purified before the next moon. You are quite lucky."
(And as the tick fed, a dark energy coated the ground from his tendrils outwards.)
(It then continued with the trees and just didn't stop going.)
Max: "I don't think so."
(Max said.)
tall alien: "No. It's actually quite the experience."
(the tall alien said.)
tall alien: "Let me show you."
middle alien: "Not the audio-visual thing again!"
(the middle alien complained.)
(The tall alien ignored his companion and pressed a button on his helmet and projected a series of moving images in a pink light.)
tall alien: "We followed the Great One from planet to planet, galaxy to galaxy, after he paid a visit to each and every one of our planets."
(He then projected the image of the Great One as its legs were planted deep into the ground of the planet like roots.)
tall alien: "Notice his technique, the deep burrowing of the appendages into the core of the planet, rotting it from the inside and then... ingesting it."
(As he finished, the planet in the image exploded, much to the horror of our heroes.)
Jen: "That's what he's going to do here?"
(Jen asked.)
tall alien: "Of course."
(the tall alien said.)
tall alien: "Your cities will be laid to waste, your oceans will dry up, your mountains will crumble."
middle alien: "It will be the end of your world as you know it."
(the middle alien said.)
All Aliens: "Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!"
(they all chorused.)
Ben: "I don't think so!"
(Ben shouted.)
Jen: "Not if we have anything to say about it!"
(Jen agreed as Ben rolled towards the tick.)
(Unfortunately, the middle alien smacked him away with his axe and sent him sprawling into the shrubbery.)
Gwen and Max: "Ben!"
(Gwen and Max shouted as they ran over to him as Jen glared at the alien worshippers.)
Jen: "This isn't over!"
(she shouted as she lifted her tail and a plume of toxic gas emerged that clouded their path as she made her escape from them.)
middle alien: "That's better."
(the middle alien said as they went back to worshipping.)
