(Later, Wildmutt was running through the forest with Blossom Rose riding on his back as she flicked his nape.)
Blossom Rose: "Hey, Ben."
(she said as she noticed the dark woods, completely nervous.)
Blossom Rose: "Why don't you make like baby food and MUSH!"
(They ran through the woods as Blossom Rose looked nervously around, shivering with fear.)
(Wildmutt sniffed the ground, trying to pick up Max's scent when he looked up and saw a construction crane on a hill.)
(He and Blossom Rose ran up ahead and saw that the woods on the other side of the hill was like an entire different world altogether.)
(Giant mushrooms lined up instead of trees and other kinds of infected fungi dotted the landscape.)
(The entire place looked like something out of Ferngully or Pandora.)
Blossom Rose: "I've got a bad feeling about this."
(she whimpered before a sudden pain laced through her head.)
(She groaned outwards as she heard a voice in her head.)
???: "Intruders."
(it said as she whimpered in fear.)
???: "No matter. You shall join the other one... in my stomach."
Blossom Rose: "Other one?"
(she asked herself.)
Blossom Rose: "Oh no. Grandpa!"
(Wildmutt ran up the area with Blossom Rose riding along as a bunch of stalks with eyes looked at them as they passed.)
(They nervously looked down the hole in the center of the mushroom forest and suddenly, a bunch of purple tendrils burst out of the ground and wrapped around them.)
(Blossom Rose screamed as they struggled within the grasp as they were pulled down into the abyss.)
(Wildmutt used his brute strength to break the tendrils holding him and Blossom Rose shot out her hand and a ton of thorns burst from the walls around them that severed her tendrils.)
(They looked down and saw Max being dragged downwards by the same tendrils.)
Max: "Ben! Jen!"
(Suddenly, more tendrils gagged his mouth and dragged him further down into the abyss.)
Blossom Rose: "Grandpa!"
(Blossom Rose shouted as she struggled and they both ran further down the tunnel... right before the Omnitrixes timed out.)
Blossom Rose: "Crap!"
(The twins were then sent sprawling on top of each other and recovered as they got up.)
Ben: "Oh man!"
(Ben shouted.)
Ben: "Not now! Grandpa!"
(They looked around and a bunch of orange mushrooms suddenly grew eyes and limbs and two sets of jaws opened upon their stalks as they approached the twins.)
Jen: "Run!"
(Jen shouted as they set off in a running pace, Jen tossing energy disks at them to keep them back.)
(They reached a corner when a blue-green plant shot upwards under their feet and tried to chomp down on them, but Ben tackled his sister off of him.)
(The brown mushrooms dogpiled the twins as they landed... or so they thought.)
(The twins were standing off to the side and they gasped as the mushrooms noticed them once again.)
Jen: "Let's get out of here!"
(Jen shouted.)
Ben: "Don't have to tell me twice!"
(Ben said as they both turned and ran again down the tunnels with tendrils and mushrooms chasing them down the tunnel until they reached the end and immediately climbed up the wall without looking back.)
(Once they reached the surface, they found a bulldozer next to the hole.)
(They then got into it and Ben tried to work the construction machine.)
Ben: "Come on, how do you work this thing?"
(he asked as he tried to engage the gear shift.)
Jen: "Ben, we're too young to drive!"
(Jen said as the mushrooms and tendrils crawled up the hole and glared at him.)
Jen: "We're doomed!"
(Jen shouted as she hugged her brother in fear.)
Ben: "Not yet, we're not! We're taking you guys out at the root!"
(Ben shouted as he fired up the bulldozer and put it into reverse.)
(The bulldozer then pushed the mushrooms back down into the hole.)
(Unfortunately, this did nothing to deter the tendrils as they wrapped around it and lifted it up.)
Jen: "Jump for it, Ben!"
(Jen shouted as the twins leaped out and ran as the tendrils pulled the bulldozer down into the hole.)
Jen: "Okay, so much for that idea."
(They then looked and saw the tendrils tossed the bulldozer back outwards and tossed it back up onto the hill, destroying an outhouse.)
Jen: "I think we'd better regroup back at the camp."
(Jen said as they ran away.)
(They then burst into the camp's cabin while struggling to catch their breath as they looked at Gwen, Allison, Gilbert, Andy and Mandy.)
Ben: "You won't believe it!"
(Ben said.)
Ben: "There are-"
Gilbert: "Killer mushrooms! Everywhere!"
(Gilbert finished for them.)
Gwen: "And they're taking over the camp!"
(Gwen said.)
(Ben and Jen then looked at the others, confused as they shook their heads.)
Jen: "Right!'
(Jen quickly said.)
Jen: "And they've got Grandpa!"
Allison: "Oh no!"
(Allison said.)
Gilbert: "They must be a dormant species that came alive when the camp dug in this new area."
(Gilbert suggested.)
Gilbert: "That's what I was trying to tell you when your RV almost ran me over! We've got to get out of here!"
Ben: "We're not going anywhere without our Grandpa!"
(Ben said as he and his sister ran to the door.)
Gwen: "Make that all three of us."
(Gwen said as she and Allison followed them out the door.)
(Andy, Mandy and Gilbert followed them out the door with determined looks on their faces.)
Ben: "What do you think they want?"
(Ben asked.)
Gwen: "I took this advanced botany class last semester."
(Gwen explained.)
Gwen: "And-"
(Suddenly, the ground shook and a gigantic white spore mushroom shot out from the ground, startling them.)
Jen: "Uh, I think I have a good idea."
(Jen said to Gwen and Allison.)
Jen: "When I was Blossom Rose, I heard this strange voice in my head. It said that we were intruders to the area. They want us! For plant food!"
Gwen: "Oh man."
(Gwen said, trying to shake the thought off as they ran away into the cabin for shelter.)
(They didn't get far, however, as even more mushrooms rose from the ground in the cabin.)
Allison: "Everyone out!"
(Allison ordered as they all ran away as the cabin was completely demolished by the mushrooms growing out of the ground.)
(They all stood back to back as an entire forest of white mushrooms grew from the ground and they all gasped out.)
Ben: "Okay, they stopped."
(Ben said.)
Jen: "That's good, right?"
(Jen asked, pulling her fingers nervously.)
Gilbert: "Actually, it's worse."
(Gilbert said.)
Gilbert: "Those are puffballs containing billions of mushroom spores. If those mushrooms mature and release those spores..."
Gwen: "They could spread over the entire state."
(Gwen realized.)
Allison: "Or even the entire country."
(Allison said.)
Ben: "That does it."
(Ben said as he and his sister pulled Gwen and Allison over.)
Ben: "We're going XLR8."
Jen: "We're going to save Grandpa and start chomping these things down."
(Jen said.)
Gilbert: "Actually."
(Gilbert said, walking up.)
Gilbert: "The only way to eliminate a mushroom is to destroy its mycelium."
Ben: "Its... what?"
(Ben asked.)
Gwen: "It's brain."
(Gwen explained.)
Allison: "You guys know way too much about Mushrooms."
(Allison said as Jen nodded.)
Jen: "We'll see you guys when we take out the brain."
(she said as she and her brother turned away.)
(Gwen and Allison stopped them, touching their shoulders.)
Gwen: "We're coming with you."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "He's my grandpa too."
Allison: "And he took me in when I had nowhere else to go."
(Allison said.)
Allison: "I owe him."
Ben: "Look, Gwen, we may share a lot of things."
(Ben said as he and his sister showed their Omnitrixes.)
Jen: "But we don't share these."
(Jen finished as she realized what she said and held her head.)
Jen: "Man, we sound like Andy and Mandy right now."
Allison: "What about me? I'm not exactly helpless, you know."
(Allison said, crossing her arms.)
Ben: "I think it's best if you stay here."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "The others could use someone with powers watching over them."
Allison: "Fine. You're right."
(Allison groaned.)
Gwen: "Be careful."
(Gwen said as they nodded.)
Jen: "Hey, Ben and I are twins."
(Jen said with a smile.)
Jen: "We watch out for each other."
(They then ran off back to the center of the forest as Gwen and Allison ran back towards Gilbert, Andy and Mandy.)
