(Night fell on the campus as the group investigated while searching for Ghostfreak.)
(The twins decided to activate their Omni Suits just in case.)
(Max held a device that seemed to pick up paranormal activity as they walked through.)
Gwen: "We've been at this for hours!"
(Gwen shouted.)
Gwen: "If Ghostfreak trashes the campus, I'll never get admitted!"
(The others looked at her, clearly annoyed by that statement.)
Gwen: "...Not like that's more important than saving all these innocent people."
Allison: "Nice save, girl."
(Allison stated as Max's device started beeping more rapidly as they reached a clearing.)
Max: "I'm picking up some trace spectral activity from around that corner."
(Max stated.)
Ben: "Okay."
(Ben said as he and his sister activated their Omnitrixes.)
Ben: "Let's get our game faces on!"
(Ben said as they slammed down their cores and the screen split as their transformations initiated.)
(Ben's Omnitrix sank into his wrist and his blood vessels expanded rapidly before spreading across his entire body, which eventually reached his eyes, which he clutched shut and when he shot them open again, they were fully golden.)
(A second pair of arms shot out just below his primary pair and his muscle mass grew exponentially.)
(His feet morphed themselves to only have two toes and his skin turned red with a few black crests on his face and he grew a second pair of eyes beneath the original ones.)
(He wore a green and black one-piece bodysuit before he shot a pose.)
(Jen's Omnitrix sank into her wrist and she grew pink fur with white patches from the wrist down as it snaked up to her body as her hands grew sharp claws and her muscle mass increased as she spun around.)
(She grew a long pink bushy tail with a white streak through the middle as her feet shifted to paws as the fur made its way up to her face as she clutched her eyes open again, revealing them to be pink with black sclera.)
(Her clothes morphed into a pink one-piece leotard with the Omnitrix symbol beneath her breastbones.)
(She whipped her tail to the screen and she struck a pose.)
Four Arms: "Hey, I meant to do that."
(Four Arms realized with a smile.)
Four Arms: "Maybe I'm getting the hang of this thing."
Allison: "Seriously, Jen?"
(Allison asked as Stinkbomb glared.)
Allison: "You're battling a ghost with a skunk?"
Stinkbomb: "It's not for Ghostfreak."
(Stinkbomb explained.)
Stinkbomb: "In case the freaks go on, I think I can beat Acid Breath at his own game."
Gwen: "Whatever."
(Gwen said as they heard a screaming from nearby.)
(The students ran away from the campus screaming as Thumbskull and Frightwig approached, holding the tour guide from before hostage.)
Four Arms: "We don't have time for you freaks!"
(Four Arms said as he, Stinkbomb and Allison ran up with a glare.)
Allison: "The party's over."
(Allison glared.)
Frighwig: "You got it all wrong, kids."
(Frighwig smirked.)
Frighwig: "It's about to really get rolling!"
(That was when Acid Breath stepped up, only with the same black and purple eyes from before.)
Ghostfreak: "And it's a surprise party!"
(Ghostfreak then phased out of the freak with a glare as Allison, Max and Gwen recoiled at the sight of his appearance.)
Ghostfreak: "Hello, Ben, old friend. Have you been working out?"
Stinkbomb: "Ghostfreak?"
(Stinkbomb asked.)
Gwen: "Ugh."
(Gwen groaned.)
Gwen: "Major horror show."
Ghostfreak: "You ain't seen nothing yet!"
(Ghostfreak exclaimed as he flew forward and tried to possess Four Arms... without success as he simply splattered against his body, prompting him to just pull him off like the symbiote and tossed him away.)
Ghostfreak: "Hmm... it seems I cannot merge with either of you in your alien forms. No matter, time is on my side. You two will be human again soon enough."
Max: "Well, we have a surprise of our own!"
(Max exclaimed as he brought out what seemed to be a flashlight-like gun that he lasted outwards, burning Ghostfreak where the blast grazed his arm.)
Ghostfreak: "Daylight at night?!"
Max: "Sun gun."
(Max explained.)
Max: "Think of it as artificial sunlight. It projects a beam as bright as real light."
Ghostfreak: "Clever, Tennyson."
(Ghostfreak admitted.)
(Max fired the gun again, but Ghostfreak was ready this time as he avoided it.)
Ghostfreak: "But not clever enough."
(He then flew into Thumbskull, possessing his body and negating the beam's effect on him.)
Ghostfreak: "As long as I am in a host's body, your weapon has no effect!"
(He then charged Four Arms, who then dodged out of the way, sending him crashing into a statue.)
(Four Arms then gave him a full body grab and performed an atomic suplex on him.)
(Frightwig face-palmed and shook her head as Acid Breath ran in.)
(Four Arms rammed Thumbskull through several stone figures on the campus lawn before he finally tossed him to the ground as Acid Breath glared.)
(Acid Breath glared outwards as he hocked up and unleashed his acid spit at Four Arms when Stinkbomb glared as she shouted out a cry as she pushed her brother out of the way as she took the hit for him, pushing her back as she looked herself over with a surprised look.)
(She felt no kind of burn or even a sickness from it.)
Stinkbomb: "Now we're talking."
(she smiled as she shook off the saliva with a glare.)
Stinkbomb: "You and me, pretty boy!"
(Ghostfreak then phased out of Thumbskull and possessed Acid Breath who then glared as he unleashed a toxic cloud of breath around him that Stinkbomb ran right through it and inhaled the toxic gas like it was a breath of fresh air to her with a smirk.)
(She then dodged all of his swipes with a smile as she then reeled back her fists and punched him in the face with what felt more strength than normal as she then leaped up and swatted him away with her tail that felt like a huge hammer to the face to him as he flew back towards the stairs.)
Stinkbomb: "Whoa."
(she said, staring at her paws.)
Stinkbomb: "Not only is Stinkbomb immune to poison; it actually makes her stronger!"
(Ghostfreak then tried possessing Frightwig, who then walked forward, tossing the tour guide away as Gwen then shouted out as she and Allison jumped outwards and caught her as the three girls crashed against each other.)
(Gwen chuckled at the tour guide as she glared at her.)
Gwen: "So... do I should I turn in my admissions application to the main office or just hand it to you directly?"
(Ghostfreak used Frightwig's body to wrap her hair around Four Arms' legs, sending him crashing down as Stinkbomb ran over to her and raised her tail up and shouted out a war cry as she let loose a cloud of toxic gas that blinded Frightwig and glared outwards as she ran forward and swatted her in the face with her tail with a shout.)
Four Arms: "Bring it!"
(Four Arms shouted as he endured her tossing her dreadlocks around like a cat o' nine tails before he pulled her towards him by her hair that wrapped around his fist as she glared.)
(Frightwig grinned at him.)
Frightwig: "You wouldn't hurt a lady, would you?"
(Stinkbomb then smiled as she walked by.)
Stinkbomb: "Maybe he wouldn't... but me on the other hand..."
(Frightwig was then tossed while wrapped around in her own dreadlocks once again as the twins glared at Ghostfreak.)
Four Arms: "You can keep playing Musical Freaks all you want."
(Four Arms glared.)
Four Arms: "We'll just keep kicking their butts over and over again."
Ghostfreak: "You're right."
(Ghostfreak said as he phased out of Frightwig, looking towards Gwen.)
Ghostfreak: "Maybe I need a new partner. Someone more... interesting for you two to battle!"
Stinkbomb: "Gwen, look out!"
(Stinkbomb shouted as Ghostfreak flew towards Gwen, who screamed in terror.)
(The twins ran towards her as Ghostfreak possessed their cousin as the tour guide ran away and Allison looked on helplessly as Ghostfreak chuckled.)
Ghostfreak: "Too late! Let's have some fun!"
(Ghostfreak then did a backflipping kick towards them as they dodged her and glared.)
(He then did several jujitsu punches and kicks that they avoided with a glare as she tried to grab Stinkbomb's tail as she then gasped.)
Stinkbomb: "So not cool!"
(she shouted as she yanked her tail back and hit Ghostfreak with it, causing Gwen's body to crash into the wall next to them.)
(Gwen's vision blurred as Four Arms and Stinkbomb approached with a glare.)
Four Arms: "Get out of our cousin now!"
(Four Arms demanded.)
Gwen: "Ben, Jen? What are you doing?"
(Gwen asked before Ghostfreak took her over again and took the advantage.)
(He then leaped up from his hands and kicked Four Arms in the face with a flying kick before backflipping towards the wall.)
(He then used her body to crawl along the wall, stunning Four Arms, Stinkbomb and Allison as they watched.)
Allison: "That shouldn't be possible!"
(Allison shouted.)
Stinkbomb: "Well don't just sit there, follow her!"
(Stinkbomb shouted as Four Arms nodded.)
Four Arms: "Right!"
(he said as he climbed the wall after Gwen/Ghostfreak.)
(Max walked up and noticed a ladder along the scaffolding and climbed up it to the roof, Allison following close behind as Stinkbomb sighed and leaped onto the small roofs and using her tail to flip off the ladder to the other walls, showing great parkour skills.)
(Ghostfreak reached the top as Four Arms followed and Stinkbomb flipped beside him as they approached.)
(That was when the Omnitrix symbols started beeping down and they gasped.)
Ghostfreak: "Ah, music to my ears!"
(The Omnitrixes timed out, leaving the twins in their Omni Suits as they glared at their Ectonurite-possessed cousin as she walked towards them.)
Max: "Ben!"
(Max shouted, tossing his grandson the sun gun.)
Ben: "Thanks, Grandpa!"
(Ben called as he aimed the sun gun at Ghostfreak and Jen charged up her energy blasts.)
Jen: "Come on out so we can fry your pale butt!"
(Jen threatened.)
Ghostfreak: "I have a better idea: drop the weapon so I can possess you and take over the world, Benjamin!"
(Ghostfreak shouted.)
Ben: "Fat chance!"
(Ben said.)
(Ghostfreak smirked and flipped on top of one of the roof's pillar tops.)
Ghostfreak: "Then you'd better hope your cousin knows how to fly!"
Jen: "You wouldn't."
(Jen whimpered as Ghostfreak started pacing back.)
Ghostfreak: "Try me."
(That was when the newly recovered circus freaks flipped onto the rooftop, surrounding our heroes as they looked on, concerned.)
Ghostfreak: "The next sound you'll hear is the sound of your cousin's screams as she takes the big dive!"
Jen: "Do it."
(Jen sighed as she put her hands down, letting her energy dissipate.)
Ben: "Fine, you win."
(Ben said as he threw the sun gun down.)
(Ghostfreak then smiled as he phased out of Gwen, who screamed at the sensation as Max ran over to comfort her.)
Ghostfreak: "Eliminate them and the Osmosian too!"
(Ghostfreak ordered as the freaks nodded and ran towards them.)
Jen: "What?! We had a deal, you Halloween reject!"
(Jen shouted.)
Ghostfreak: "You made a deal with me, not them!"
(Ghostfreak said as Frightwig wrapped her hair around Max, Gwen and Allison as they struggled in their grip.)
(Ben's eyes instantly fell towards the discarded sun gun.)
(He then dove for it, but Ghostfreak was too quick.)
(He went intangible and tried to merge with Ben, who struggled in his grasp as he shouted out in pain.)
Jen: "Ben, no!"
(Jen shouted as she thrust her hand out and used her telekinesis on the sun gun and levitated it into her hand as she aimed for Ghostfreak carefully.)
(Suddenly, green energy leaked from Ben's Omnitrix, instantly charging it as Ben quickly activated it as Ghostfreak phased into him, just managing to slam the core down.)
(Ghostfreak then stood back up with a grin.)
Ghostfreak: "Together again? Just like old-"
(he then suddenly coughed out and spat Ben, who had transformed into Grey Matter out as Jen wiped the sweat from her brow with a smile.)
Grey Matter: "That's enough to make me gag too."
(Grey Matter sighed.)
(Frightwig gasped as Grey Matter hopped onto her head, freaking her out and causing her to lose her focus, freeing Max, Gwen and Allison as they sighed out.)
Ghostfreak: "Get them you fools!"
(Ghostfreak shouted.)
(The Circus Freaks ran after him and were eventually reduced to scrambling around trying to catch him, looking like absolute fools.)
(Thumbskull picked Frightwig up by her leg and tried hsaking her upside down.)
(Grey Matter dropped down and hopped onto Thumbskull's back.)
Thumbskull: "Where'd that little pipsqueak go?"
(He turned around and Frightwig saw him on his back, prompting her to whip out her deadly locks, whipping her companion into the wall in a daze as Grey Matter jumped onto Acid Breath's head, causing her to do the same to him before he finally leaped onto Frightwig.)
(Thumbskull tried to take advantage and tossed a chunk of the building at her, knocking her back on her back.)
(Grey Matter then leaped onto Acid Breath, but he wasn't falling for it this time.)
(He then brushed him off as he glared outwards.)
(Jen gasped as she saw Thumbskull attempt to step on her brother while Acid Breath breathed out a cloud of toxic vapor from his mouth.)
(She then pressed her Omnitrix down and transformed into Frostblight as she flew outwards and breathed out her icy breath, blowing the toxic cloud as she flew up to Thumbskull with a glare.)
Frostblight: "There is no version of this story where you three bozos are going to squish my brother."
(she said before she quickly grabbed her brother and flew him away with a determined look on her face.)
(Ghostfreak growled out as he saw his captives escape through the fire escape while the twins slipped through the cracks in the wall.)
(He then followed through using his intangibility.)
Ghostfreak: "Get them, you fools!"
(Ghostfreak shouted.)
(The circus freaks nodded and followed Gwen, Max and Allison through the fire escape.)
(Ghostfreak glared as he phased through the wall and into the building, where the twins were nowhere in sight.)
Ghostfreak: "You can run, but you can't hide!"
