(Little did they know, arriving in the plant Max was swimming up in the filthy water, taking a deep breath before a DNAlien spotted him.)
(It ran forwards to try to sound the alarm, but the ex-Plumber ran up and punched him off the balcony before taking out his Null Void Projector and sucked it up, sending it to the Null Void like a ghost into the Fenton Thermos.)
(Max ducked through the halls, avoiding contact with the DNAliens as they walked through, looking for him.)
(He hide behind a corner and noticed the beeping of the security system on the wall.)
(He glared and whistled out, sending the aliens running for him before he knocked them out and sent them to the Null Void as well.)
(He ran forwards into the interrogation room and waved his Plumber's badge over the scanner, granting him permission for entry as he ran in and saw Ken slouched over on the ground, already partially taken over by the parasite.)
Ken: "Grandpa Max...help... me!"
(Ken turned around and Max recoiled at the sight of his grandson partially coated with the parasite's head and his body was starting to change into a DNAlien.)
Max: "Kenny, it's okay, boy. I'm here."
(Max said, helping Ken up before he was suddenly shocked with a taser that Ken held as he smirked mischievously.)
(Max groaned in horror before he immediately blacked out.)
(The Omni-Team swam through the septic tanks leading into the hatchery as Kevin groaned with disgust.)
Kevin: "Hey, guys. Next time you guys ask me for a favor, remind me to say no."
Matter Girl: "Hey, it's no picnic for us either, little bro."
(Matter Girl groaned.)
Lucky Girl: "Yeah, don't be such a baby."
(Lucky Girl said.)
Lucky Girl: "Our brother is in there being tortured by DNAliens."
(The team then held their breath except for the two leaders, who had helmets on and ducked under the grate to swim under it before gasping up.)
Kevin: "At least he's dry. And this stuff smells like-"
(That was when Huntress felt something touch her bare leg and she gasped.)
Huntress: "What was that?"
(Lucky Girl and Matter Girl gasped as they felt tentacles surround them and they were immediately pulled under.)
Omni-Green: "Gwen, Ally, no!"
(Omni-Green shouted.)
Omni-Pink: "Hold on. Don't rush into this, bro."
(Omni-Pink said to her brother in a mutter so Kevin couldn't hear.)
Omni-Pink: "The last thing that we need right now is a repeat of what happened to Feedback."
Omni-Green: "You promised that you'd never mention Feedback to me again."
(Omni-Green scolded.)
Omni-Pink: "I felt worse for you than you did about yourself. Sometimes we need to remember our failures to help us succeed in the future."
Omni-Green: "I guess you're right."
(Omni-Green said.)
Omni-Green: "But Feedback just stays between us, Gwen, Becky, Allison, Grandpa Max and Azmuth. No one else has to know."
Omni-Pink: "Gotcha."
(Max was led through the facility by two DNAliens and he groaned outwards as he looked up to see the Highbreed in charge of the operation.)
Highbreed: "Max Tennyson."
(the Highbreed said.)
Highbreed: "You have been active in your retirement."
Max: "Aw, this is really just a hobby now. A man my age has to stay active."
(Max smirked.)
Highbreed: "You have been a great irritation to us, vermin. You have delayed our plans for the last time."
Max: "I'm nothing compared to my grandchildren and their friends. It's obvious that you're planning something with these parasites here."
Highbreed: "Xenocytes."
(the Highbreed explained.)
Max: "And that they somehow mutate humans into these freaks."
Highbreed: "It can't be helped. Their human half makes them... repulsive."
Max: "What I want to know is, why?"
Highbreed: "You will soon see for yourself, insect."
(the Highbreed said as the two DNAliens detained the ex-Plumber and he held up a Xenocyte to him that slithered and squirmed in his grasp.)
Highbreed: "We are only mere hours away from creating the most crucial stage of our plan."
Max: "But why my grandson? Why change Ken?"
Highbreed: "He was merely brought here as bait for you. With you out of the way, there will be no one who can stop us."
(The others all surfaced from the tank to catch a breath, looking around for Lucky Girl and Matter Girl hurriedly.)
Omni-Green: "Where are they?!"
(Omni-Green shouted.)
Kevin: "I can't see anything down there!"
(Kevin shouted.)
Huntress: "Keep trying!"
(Huntress shouted as they ducked under again and resurfaced... before they saw the water start to glow pink and a huge blast of energy flew outwards with a bunch of Xenocytes flying outwards with the blast as the two heroines resurfaced, disgust evident on their faces.)
Matter Girl: "This is so wrong."
(Matter Girl groaned.)
Matter Girl: "Come on."
Omni-Pink: "Yeah, well it's about to get worse."
(Omni-Pink said as they looked inside the grate.)
Omni-Pink: "I'm afraid I only see one way in from here."
Kevin: "Oh, you're not saying-"
(Kevin said as Huntress nodded.)
Huntress: "I'm afraid so."
(The rest of the group all sucked in a deep breath and then dove downwards into the tank.)
Kevin: "Proving my point of this being the worst road trip ever."
(Kevin dove downwards as well and they swam into the hatchery plant.)
(As the team swam down in the filthy water, they didn't take notice of the tons of eggs at the bed of the tanks and a few hatched out, forming Xenocytes that swam towards our heroes.)
(They reached the other end of the tank inside the hatchery with a massive breath of air as Huntress raised her arm to see a Xenocyte sticking to her arm like a leech.)
(She screamed in disgust and terror as she tossed the Xenocyte away... into the feet of a DNAlien.)
(Our heroes then got back to back as they saw tons and tons of DNAliens surround them on all sides as Matter Girl groaned outwards as Lucky Girl channeled her energy.)
Matter Girl: "We are not good at stealth."
(Matter Girl said.)
Kevin: "But we kick major butt."
(her brother said as the Omni-Twins readied their Omnitrixes, slammed the cores down and transformed into...)
Big Chill: "Big Chill!"
AeroForce: "AeroForce!"
(The two then flew up back to back out of the tank and towards opposite ends of the plant as the DNAliens spat out globs of green slime at them and missed each time.)
(Big Chill went intangible and phased through several of the DNAliens, freezing them on the spot.)
Big Chill: "I thought you guys liked it cold."
(AeroForce flew around with a caw and flapped her wings massively before sending out a massive cyclone of air outwards, sending a large number of the DNAliens backwards as Kevin and his sister came out of the tank and absorbed the floor, slamming into them with their intense strength before Matter Girl morphed her arms into hammers and slammed them, sending them flying backwards into the tank with a shout of fury.)
(Lucky Girl ran forwards and sent out several energy disks that blasted the DNAliens back and she ran on her energy platforms with a shout before her Fire charm glowed and she blasted out several fireballs from her hands towards them, causing them to fly backwards as she shouted out in fury.)
(Huntress, meanwhile, shot out several of her arrows towards the DNAliens, knocking them out on impact before she dodged downwards, collected her arrows and brought out her spear, knocking the aliens back several times with grunts of effort before she turned around and gave a roundhouse kick to one who ran beside her, bt one quick look and she realized too late that it was...)
Huntress: "Ken?"
(she asked in shock.)
(Kevin ran forwards and prepared to punch him before Lucky Girl brought up an energy wall to stop him.)
Lucky Girl: "Wait!"
Kevin: "What's wrong with you girls! I was just following your lead."
(The twins then flew forwards before they dodged two arrows blasted at them.)
Huntress: "Don't touch him!"
(Huntress shouted.)
Huntress: "It's Ken! It's our brother!"
(Ken looked up to them in shock as the twins transformed back and landed on the ground.)
Omni-Green: "I can't believe it."
(Omni-Green gasped.)
Omni-Green: "It really is Ken."
(Ken stood up as Lucky Girl landed in front of him and brushed his face.)
Lucky Girl: "I know you don't want to hurt us. It's your sisters, Gwen and Becky."
(she said to him.)
Matter Girl: "That's Ken?"
(Matter Girl asked.)
Matter Girl: "He actually looks less cool than his car."
Huntress: "Guys, we have to help him."
(Huntress stated.)
Omni-Pink: "He was fighting us, Becky."
(Omni-Pink said, taking her cousin's shoulders.)
Omni-Pink: "Whatever they did to him affected his mind."
Ken: "What this did to me... is set me free!"
(Ken grabbed a DNAlien and tossed it away and they dodged outwards and Omni-Pink blasted outwards with her energy tendrils from her hands, creating energy tendrils around him detaining him.)
Lucky Girl: "Don't hurt him! He's just sick."
(Lucky Girl said.)
Lucky Girl: "It's that parasite or whatever on him. It's making him do this."
Kevin: "Then let's get it off him."
(Kevin said as he started to pull the Xenocyte from Ken's head as the twins went to stop him.)
Omni-Green: "Kevin, wait! You're hurting him!"
(Omni-Green said before the Omnitrixes started to beep out again to the Xenocyte on Ken's head.)
Omni-Green: "Huh?"
Green Omnitrix A.I: "Severe genetic damage detected."
(Omni-Green's Omnitrix A.I. said in his voice.)
Omni-Pink: "Huh?"
(Omni-Pink asked.)
Omni-Pink: "I wonder..."
Pink Omnitrix A.I: "Genetic code splicing error."
(her Omnitrix's A.I. said in her voice.)
Pink Omnitrix A.I: "Should the pair of us attempt to repair?"
Omni-Green: "You mean try to fix Ken?"
(Omni-Green asked as his sister nodded.)
Omni-Green: "Yeah. Let's do it!"
(The two then approached Ken as the Omnitrixes started beeping outwards and grabbed his head, causing the Xenocyte on his head to squirm out and wrapped it's tentacles around their helmet-covered heads.)
Huntress: "What are you guys doing?"
(Huntress asked.)
Omni-Green: "We'll let you know when we figure it out."
(Omni-Green said.)
(The Omnitrixes flashed out a green and pink light and the twins without their suits were flying through a green and pink striped tunnel with awe.)
Ben: "Whoa."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "Are we inside the Omnitrixes?"
Jen: "I think so, bro."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "But if that's the case, so is that whatever it is that was on Ken."
(The two then looked up to see a large outline of the infected Ken on them and they both cracked their knuckles.)
Jen: "Here goes nothing."
(Their bodies glowed with a green and pink aura as they shot their arms out and grabbed at the Xenocyte that quickly wrapped its tentacles around them, causing them to scream out in terror as the tentacles started to overtake them.)
(Soon, their eyes shot open and Ben held the Xenocyte in his hands as he placed it on the ground.)
(Jen then gave a shushing gesture as she focused and generated her pink energy blade from her suit's arm and then stabbed it through the alien parasite, killing it instantly before she wiped the gunk off of her blade.)
Jen: "Man, the two of us are going to have to ask Azmuth for a manual for these things."
(Jen said, looking at her Omnitrix.)
(Ken, still in the energy binds, gasped as the DNAlien coating fell off of him and his sisters ran up and hugged him tightly.)
Becky: "I got you, big brother."
(Becky said as he groaned outwards and the twins degenerated their helmets in front of him.)
Ben: "It's okay, Ken."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "Everything's going to be just fine."
Ken: "Nothing's fine, Ben."
(Ken groaned.)
Ken: "I captured Grandpa. I handed him over to them, I- I couldn't stop myself. It- it was like I was watching someone else use my body."
Jen: "Wait."
(Jen said, standing up.)
Jen: "They have Grandpa Max?!"
Ken: "That's why they took me, Jen. They knew he'd come for me. They needed him out of the way. Their plan, it's... terrible."
(The twins then generated their helmets back up and looked towards the stairwell.)
Omni-Green: "Let's go get him."
(Omni-Green said.)
Matter Girl: "Agreed."
(Matter Girl said, banging her hand into her fist.)
Ken: "I'm coming with you guys."
(Ken asked.)
Gwen: "Be our guest."
(Gwen smiled, tying her mask back on.)
Kevin: "You wanna help?"
(Kevin asked.)
Kevin: "Cool."
