(Later, Max was working to fix the RV on a workbench as he threw a wrench outwards at Gwen's feet.)
Max: "This is metric."
(he said.)
Max: "I specifically asked for a half-inch wrench."
Gwen: "Sorry, Grumpa."
(Gwen groaned as the twins and Allison examined the mask as Ben brought it up to his face.)
(Suddenly, the gem eyes glowed and shot out two rays that revealed something on the ground.)
Max: "Not now, Ben."
(Max groaned.)
Jen: "I think that you're going to want to see this."
(Jen said.)
(Max got out from under the Rust Bucket and examined as the mask revealed what looked like an ancient Mayan temple from centuries, if not millenia ago.)
Max: "It's the map to the ancient Mayan temple of Ek Chuaj."
(he examined.)
Max: "We need to beat the Forever Knights to that temple."
Allison: "Uh, Max, I hate to point out the obvious, but how are we supposed to get there without any form of transportation?"
(Allison asked.)
Ben: "Leave that to us."
(Ben smirked as he and his sister showed their Omnitrixes.)
(Stinkfly and Firefly flew through the air as they closed in on a jungle-like scene with Gwen riding on Stinkfly's back, Allison riding on Firefly's back and Max being carried by both of them by one arm each.)
Max: "Ben, Jen, can't you two go any faster?"
(Max asked.)
Firefly: "I am sorry, Grandfather."
(Firefly said as she flapped her wings as hard as she could.)
Stinkfly: "We're not used to flying with this many people onboard."
(Stinkfly groaned.)
(They then winced as they saw the temple approaching in the distance.)
Firefly: "We must be close."
(Firefly stated before she looked and saw the Omnitrix beeping as it approached.)
Firefly: "Oh no!"
Stinkfly: "Brace yourselves!"
(Stinkfly said as the Omnitrixes timed out, sending the five of them sprawling down into the trees below before they hit the ground with a thud.)
(Jen groaned as she rubbed her head and Ben spat out some leaves as she looked to him.)
Jen: "Ben, next time we train, we have got to work on those emergency landings."
(she said.)
Ben: "I'll put that as a mental note."
(Ben said.)
(Little did they know, the white figure from before was watching them from a clearing as he rushed off to the temple himself.)
(They walked through the jungle as Jen and Allison slashed away the vines in their paths with Jen's energy slashes and Allison using her arms that she morphed into blades after absorbing the material from her crystal.)
(They continued until they approached a clearing where Max gasped once he saw a helicopter with the Forever Knights standing close by at the temple's entrance.)
(One of the knights pressed an explosive to the temple's door and ran for cover as the knights detonated it, having absolutely no effect.)
Enoch: "Still not open."
(Enoch said.)
Enoch: "Use a bigger charge this time. Idiots."
(The Tennysons and Allison nodded to each other as they ran around the temple to its side before they rushed up the steps and stopped at an ancient engraving in the Temple's wall.)
Max: "There's always a secret entrance to these temples."
(Max said, examining the wall.)
(As he walked towards the wall to examine it, Jen's eyes fell on the mask attached to his belt.)
(She reached down and took the mask as Max felt along the wall.)
Max: "Come on, where is it?"
(he asked before he turned around and saw his granddaughter press the mask to her eyes, gazing at the wall.)
Max: "Jen, what are you doing?"
Jen: "The mask showed us how to get to the temple, Grandpa."
(she explained.)
Jen: "Maybe it can show us how to get in."
(She gazed through the gem eyes, giving everything a green tint as she saw one brick in the wall glowing a different shade than the bricks surrounding it.)
(She then pressed the brick and it caved into the wall, which opened sideways, revealing a secret entrance.)
(The group then walked through the dark hallway as Jen lit up an energy ball in her hand for a light as she handed the mask to her brother.)
Max: "The sword will be in the center of the temple on the lowest floor."
(Max stated as he walked.)
Max: "There should be some stairs nearby."
Ben: "Stairs?"
(Ben asked.)
Ben: "Oh man. Where's the express elevator when you really need it?"
(They then wandered into the darkness and Max lit a torch from nearby.)
(Unfortunately, he swung it a little too close to his grandson, who was startled and he stepped back, right above a bottomless pit in the room, which caused Jen to gasp.)
Jen: "Ben!"
(she shouted as her eyes glowed pink and she shot her hand out.)
(Ben screamed as his body was engulfed in a pink aura, which lifted him back up as Grandpa shot out his hand and grabbed him, while Allison and Gwen were doing their share as well as they pulled him back, helping to lift Ben back up onto the platform.)
Ben: "Thanks."
(Ben said.)
Max: "Phew, that was close."
(Max said as he picked up the mask.)
Max: "Almost lost the mask."
(Everyone's jaws dropped as Max walked off, mask in hand as they looked to each other.)
Gwen: "Okay, can you say 'obsessed?'"
(Gwen asked.)
Ben: "Once he gets that sword, he'll be himself again, right guys?"
(Ben asked.)
Jen: "We can only hope."
(Jen sighed, crossing her arms as they followed him down the wooden stairwell in the center of the pit.)
Allison: "I'm not even related to him and even I'm worried."
(Allison said, picking up the rear.)
Max: "Stay sharp."
(Max said as he watched his steps carefully.)
Max: "The ancient Mayans were notorious for setting..."
(That was when they heard the sound of wood breaking as Jen held a broken ladder rung in her hand.)
Jen: "Booby traps?"
(They heard a rumbling as they heard the ceiling above start to cave in and large boulders fell from above, demolishing the staircases.)
Max: "Move it!"
(Max shouted as they all hurried onto the platforms.)
(They hurried down the staircases as fast as they could as the twins tried dialing in their Omnitrixes.)
Ben: "Come on! Somebody! Anybody!"
(Ben said as the Omnitrix ignored him.)
(They continued on until they were on the last platform standing and even it started to teeter out of control as they looked to the doorway up ahead.)
Max: "Hold on!"
(Max shouted as he thrust his arm forward and a grappling hook launched from his wrist and stabbed into the rocky wall in front of him.)
(The kids grabbed ahold of him as he swung forward on the hook, launching them to the other side of the chasm as they landed in a heap and rubbed their heads from the soreness from the impact.)
Gwen: "Thanks, Grandpa."
(Gwen said as they looked ahead to see Max was already heading down the staircase at the end of the hall.)
Max: "You four coming?"
(he asked.)
Jen: "Remember when he made this stuff fun?"
(Jen asked with a groan.)
Ben: "I know."
(Ben said, bowing his head.)
Ben: "I miss the old Grandpa."
Gwen: "Honestly, I'd eat a whole bowl of dung beetle soup if I knew it would bring him back."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "No offense, Allison."
Allison: "None taken."
(she said.)
Allison: "I honestly feel the same way."
(At long last, they reached the center of the temple.)
(There was a pedestal with an indenture in it in the shape of the mask and a giant stone door in front of it that had the mask's symbol engraved into it.)
Max: "This is it."
(Max said as he approached the pedestal, mask at the ready.)
(Suddenly, two pairs of hands shot out and grabbed the kids, pulling them into the darkness.)
(Max noticed their absence and pulled out his blaster as another torch ignited in the darkness, revealing Enoch, who chuckled mischievously.)
Enoch: "Who says you can't get a Plumber when you need one?"
(he asked as his knights activated their energy swords, revealing they had Ben, Jen, Gwen and Allison at their mercy.)
(Max stood shaking, knowing that if he did anything, the kids were done for.)
Enoch: "Without you bringing the mask, we wouldn't have been able to get inside the great chamber."
(Max then sighed and tossed the blaster aside as Enoch took the mask from him.)
Enoch: "Now, I believe it's time to toss the garbage."
(Enoch led them back to the chamber with the bottomless pit, where they were at his mercy.)
Enoch: "Legend has it that the Eternal Pit of Despair is bottomless."
(Enoch said.)
Enoch: "Let's find out."
(He then ruthlessly pushed the twins into it, sending them hurtling down into the pit, screaming all the while.)
Max: "Ben! Jen!"
(Max shouted.)
Enoch: "Wouldn't want those two to get lonely."
(Enoch said as he gestured to his guards, who pushed the other three into the pit right after them.)
(As they fell down the pit, Ben and Jen nodded to each other and activated their Omnitrixes, transforming into Four Arms and Diamondhead respectively as they dug their arms into the walls of the pit, stopping their fall.)
(They then looked upward to see Max, Gwen and Allison falling after them.)
(Four Arms reached out and caught Gwen and Max while Diamondhead caught Allison with her one free arm.)
Allison: "Thanks."
(Allison said.)
Diamondhead: "No problem."
(Diamondhead said.)
Diamondhead: "That's what friends are for."
Gwen: "That's it."
(Gwen groaned as Four Arms tossed her on his back.)
Gwen: "I am so going to band camp next summer."
(The twins then nodded and climbed back up the pit with their brute strength.)
