(Soon, the mutant frog burst out of the water and crashed into the boat, sending our heroes sprawling onto the wooden deck above them with a groan.)
Animo: "You really should've knocked."
(Animo said from above as he sat on the chamber of his ray.)
Animo: "It is impolite to sneak up on someone like this."
Ben: "You've got something that belongs to me, Animo!"
(Ben shouted.)
Ben: "And I want it back!"
Animo: "Ah, yes. Interesting piece of technology. Its potential power is virtually unlimited! I will put its alien DNA to good use."
Allison: "What do you mean 'good use?'"
(Allison asked.)
Animo: "With this telescope, I'll be able to bounce my transmodulator's signal off of a satellite and blanket the planet with its power, creating a new, more interesting world order!"
Jen: "Okay, science project's over, Dr. Quack!"
(Jen shouted.)
Jen: "The Omni Twins are here to stop you!"
Animo: "Oh, but it's just beginning, Jen Tennyson."
(Animo said.)
Animo: "In fact, you should be privileged to be the first human test subject!"
(He laughed maniacally as he put his gauntlets in the machine and fired it up.)
(The faceplate activated the ray's power and Animo fired it right in Jen's path.)
Max: "Jen!"
(Max shouted as he pushed his granddaughter out of they way as the ray struck him.)
(Max fell to the floor as the kids looked on in disgust as they saw he was mutated into a Stinkfly-like maggot creature with Stinkfly's eyestalks and a slug-like body that secreted slime.)
Allison: "Oh man."
(Allison said, trying to hold back the bile that was building in her throat.)
Allison: "That is so wrong."
Ben: "If I had just listened to you guys about messing with the watch, this never would've happened."
(Ben said.)
Gwen: "Forget about that, Ben."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "Right now, we need a plan."
Animo: "A successful plan indeed."
(Animo said from above.)
Animo: "But as a scientist I must be sure."
(Ben and Jen nodded and started dialing in the Omnitrix.)
Allison: "You've got to be kidding me!"
(Allison said.)
Allison: "You two are going alien again?"
Jen: "If we don't try, that's going to be all of us."
(Jen said, gesturing to her grandfather.)
(The twins then saw the mutant ray being aimed at them and they gasped as they dodged and Jen put up a forcefield to block the ray, before they ended up at the feet of the mutant frog, who growled at them.)
(They then turned around and found themselves cornered by Heatbat, who screeched at them.)
Ben: "Hero time?"
(Ben asked.)
Jen: "Go for it."
(Jen said as the each slammed down their Omnitrixes, turning into two new hybrid aliens.)
(Ben was a combination of Heatblast and Ripjaws.)
(He had Ripjaws' torso, head and tail flap, but has Heatblast's arms and legs.)
(And Ripjaws' dorsal fin was replaced by flames.)
(Jen was a combination of Firefly and Blossom Rose.)
(She had the torso, waist and upper arms of Blossom Rose, but also had Firefly's lower arms, legs, wings and large abdomen and the crown-like horn on her head is replaced with Blossom Rose's budded flower.)
(Finally, she wore Blossom Rose's plant-like dress and the Omnitrix's symbol is on her forehead.)
Heat Jaws: "Heatblast and Ripjaws?"
(Ben, or Heat Jaws, said in Heatblast's voice.)
Heat Jaws: "Not the best combo."
Fire Rose: "Blossom Rose and Firefly?"
(Jen, or Fire Rose, asked in Blossom Rose's voice as she looked at the glowing orb on her abdomen.)
Fire Rose: "Not as great a combo as you guys would think."
Animo: "Well well."
(Animo said.)
Animo: "A walking fish fry and an insectoid plant?"
Heat Jaws: "Turn our grandpa back to normal or so help me-"
(Heat Jaws said as he ignited his hands in flames before they immediately extinguished themselves.)
Fire Rose: "Oh man."
(Fire Rose said.)
Animo: "Ah, looks like you're the ones who are going to need help."
(He fired up the ray again and blasted the twins with it, engulfing them in green light.)
Gwen and Allison: "No!"
(Gwen and Allison shouted.)
(The ray's light then dispersed and Animo removed his glasses to reveal the twins... looking completely unchanged from the ray.)
Fire Rose: "Hey, nothing happened."
(Fire Rose said.)
Animo: "Hmm, it seems your already altered states have made you immune to the ray's effects."
(Animo examined.)
Animo: "Pity. Instead of giving you new lives, I'll have to settle for taking away your old ones! Finish them, my pets!"
(The frog swatted them backwards with its tongue and into the claws of Heatbat, causing them to fly away as Fire ROse glared.)
Fire Rose: "Okay, Fire Rose."
(she said as she sighed and bared her lower arms' claws before she reached up and swiped at the claws of Heatbat.)
(Heatbat screeched in pain, letting go of her as she immediately started flapping her insectoid wings and started flying in the air.)
(He then let go of Heat Jaws, sending him crashing into the wall and he groaned in pain.)
Heat Jaws: "Okay, I'll fight fire with fire."
(he said as he sent his heat rays out of his hands, which immediately caused him to start sweating from the effort as he stopped, having done no damage to Heatbat.)
Fire Rose: "Guess that's one power useless."
(Fire Rose said.)
(Heatbat turned around and fired a ray at her, which sent her crashing down to the ground below and at the feet of the mutant frog.)
Fire Rose: "Okay, you've got plant powers and fire powers."
(she said as she looked to the water and shot her hand out.)
(The plants and seaweed in the swampy waters as well as the moss growing from the observatory's walls immediately shot out and binded the frog down as she smiled and started flying back up as she fired her heat ray from her abdomen at it, briefly knocking it out.)
(She then briefly walked towards the water and tried to sip some up in her hand before it immediately burned her touch.)
Fire Rose: "Okay, let's not use water to increase Blossom Rose's powers."
(she said as she shook her hand off.)
(Heatbat swooped down and tried to smash Heat Jaws under her feet as he glared and looked by and saw a loose plank of wood in the ground.)
(He then picked it up and whacked the mutant bat with it, sending it crashing down into the water.)
(Suddenly, the mutant frog recovered and shot its tongue out at Heat Jaws, ensnaring him and sending him crashing all throughout the wrecked observatory and into his sister in a heap.)
Heat Jaws: "Okay, I don't like this ride."
(Heat Jaws said before the mutant frog broke out of his plant bindings.)
(He then sent his tongue out which grabbed Fire Rose this time sent her on the same trip as her brother before she ignited her hands in flames and touched the tongue, burning the frog's tongue and causing it to release his grip on her and sending her crashing down into the floor, where she groaned out in pain.)
(Heat Jaws wasn't faring much better as he was starting to go dry, his gills flexing in and out as he gasped for breath.)
Heat Jaws: "Need... water..."
(Meanwhile, Allison and Gwen ran away Animo aimed his ray at them as Allison glared as she looked back at the madman.)
Animo: "Welcome to my world."
(he said as he fired the ray at them as they immediately ducked under the blasts and Allison absorbed the material from her emerald as the blast bounced off her armored form and hit the wall by her.)
Allison: "Huh."
(she said with a smirk.)
Animo: "Blast!"
(Animo glared.)
Animo: "The ray is useless on inorganic matter!"
(He then glanced over at Heatbat as it crawled out of the water, its flames extinguished.)
Animo: "Get the girls!"
(Animo ordered.)
(Heatbat then nodded and flew upwards, growling all the while as he flew upwards towards Gwen and Allison as they gasped upwards and ducked under Heatbat as it swooped over them before they glared and dodged under a fallen piece of wood that Heatbat simply burst through with a screech.)
Allison: "This is seriously driving me bats!"
(Allison shouted as she absorbed the material from her crystal and slammed Heatbat in the head.)
(Heatbat screeched as he broke out of the wood and continued to chase the girls.)
(As the chase was happening, Animo examined as the twins lay helplessly on the ground as he examined the satellite going into position overhead as he smirked.)
Animo: "The satellite is moving into position. Who says one man can't change the world?!"
(As Heatbat continued the chase, they saw a loose piece of wood on the ground and nodded.)
Allison: "Any ideas?"
(Allison asked.)
Gwen: "Yeah, jump."
(Gwen said.)
Allison: "Are you crazy?"
Gwen: "Do you want to deal with Batsy?!"
(They loked to see Heatbat closing in on them.)
Allison: "Well, when you put it that way..."
(They then leaped off of the plank and shouted out and jumped onto the telescoping ray before they saw a panel with a caution sign on it.)
(Gwen then removed the panel and they both hid inside the telescope.)
(Heatbat screeched as it stuck its head inside the panel as the girls crawled through.)
Gwen: "You haven't won yet, Animo."
(Gwen said.)
Allison: "If I can to the power source, I think I can drain the energy from the ray."
Gwen: "But you said you don't absorb energy."
(Gwen said.)
Allison: "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
(Allison said as she clenched her hands open and closed.)
(Heat Jaws desperately crawled towards the water... to no avail as the mutant frog hopped up and kicked him back into the wall as Fire Rose groaned as she stood up and punched her fist on the ground.)
Fire Rose: "That's it! No more Ms. Nice Alien!"
(she shouted as she flew forwards and slammed both sets of her fists against the frog, sending it back somewhat as she growled and punched without quitting.)
Fire Rose: "Stay! Away! From! My! Brother!"
