(Ben was at a water fountain with the fountain running as Max came by as Jen walked over with Allison and sighed.)
Jen: "Hey, bro."
(she said.)
Jen: "Bro?"
Allison: "Wake up."
(Allison said, shaking the wet Ben awake as he groaned outwards.)
Ben: "Mom, I'm too tired to go to school."
Allison: "That's it."
(Allison groaned before she gave him a slap across the face, snapping him out of it.)
Ben: "Thank you."
(he said.)
(That was when Gwen and Becky walked over with a shopping bag.)
Gwen: "I have the perfect solution to your sleepwalking problem."
(Gwen said as Becky pulled out a pair of handcuffs.)
Becky: "If you can't touch the Omnitrix, you can't go alien."
(Becky said.)
Jen: "Where'd you get those?"
(Jen asked.)
Becky: "Survivalists 'R' Us."
(Becky said.)
Becky: "They have a very extensive selection."
(Gwen then walked over and cuffed Ben's hands behind his back.)
Max: "Are you girls sure this is the best solution."
(Max asked.)
Gwen: "What could go wrong?"
(Gwen asked.)
(That was when a hole opened in the ceiling and the clock appeared danglingf rom the cable from earlier adn was clearly running on the roller coaster motor.)
Sublimino: "Greetings mall rats."
(Sublimino said over a livestream video that was showing on all the surrounding TVs.)
Sublimino: "I am Sublimino: Master of Hypnosis."
(Jen then noticed that all of the mall patrons were gathered in this area as she gasped.)
Jen: "I knew there was a reason I bought this."
(she said, reaching into her pocket and producing her blindfold before putting it on over her eyes.)
Becky: "Good thinking, Jen."
(Becky whispered.)
Becky: "You can't be hypnotised if you can't see the clock."
Sublimino: "You are all about to take a journey through that mysterious realm known as the mind."
(The clock began to swing back and forth as all of the patrons looked at it.)
Sublimino: "No need to volunteer. Now all of you will obey me forever! Your eyelids are getting heavy. You are falling into a deep sleep."
Ben: "Huh?"
(Ben asked.)
Ben: "A giant hypno-watch? No way that will ever work."
(Sublimino then pressed the button on his pocketwatch and sent the sonic pulse out, sending everyone who was enveloped in it into a deep sleep.)
Allison: "Or maybe it will. Run!"
(Allison shouted as she grabbed the blindfolded Jen as she and the others started running away from the yellow wave.)
Jen: "Don't watch the clock."
(Jen said as she and Ben ducked behind a corner before the wave finally went away.)
(She then took off the blindfold and looked out.)
Jen: "Phew, I'm not hypnotized. My idea worked!"
Ben: "What, why is it so quiet?"
(Ben asked before he and his sister ran over and saw that Gwen, Becky, Max and Allison had fallen asleep just before they turned the corner.)
Jen: "This is not good."
(Jen said.)
(They ran over to the shopping bag and rumaged around for the key to the handcuffs in a hurry.)
Ben: "Come on, where's the key?!"
(Ben groaned.)
Sublimino: "All arise and obey my every command!"
(Sublimino said on the video.)
Sublimino: "Every minute of every day!"
(That was when the others woke up along with the rest of the mall and they stood up at attention to Sublimino.)
Sublimino: "Now bring me all the riches of this place!"
(The mall patrons then departed and walked away towards the different stores as Gwen knelt and took the shopping bag away and the key along with it.)
Jen: "Oh no!"
(Jen shouted.)
(And thus, chaos ensued.)
(The patrons broke into the cash regiesters and stole all the money as well as smashing the windows of a giveaway car and driving it away.)
(Becky smashed an ATM machine open with a hammer and started loading the cash into a bag along with her sister as Allison wheeled away a jar of cash at a prize wheel.)
Sublimino: "Yes! Yes!"
(Sublimino said from the control room.)
Sublimino: "First the mall, then all of America! There will be no stopping me!"
(As the twins walked around through the mall, helplessly looking on as the patrons stole all of the money and merchandise from the stores around them before Jen gasped and saw a booth where they fashion keys for all kinds of locks.)
Jen: "Ben, look!"
(she said as she took her brother by the hand and led him to the booth.)
(Inside, they found a motor running with a blade that they use to fashion the keys.)
Ben: "Carefully, now."
(Ben said before he broke the chains of the handcuffs with a smile before he and his sister engaged their Omnitrixes.)
Ben: "You ready for this?"
Jen: "I'm not sure having to fight my own family."
(Jen said.)
Jen: "But I guess I have no choice."
Ben: "Alright, Sublimino."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "You may control every last person in the mall-"
(The twins then slammed down the Omnitrixes as they transformed into Wildvine and Blossom Rose respectively.)
Blossom Rose: "But what about plants?"
(Blossom Rose asked as they ran out of the booth and saw the patrons around them.)
Wildvine: "Let's do this, sis."
(Wildvine said as they shot their arms out and stretched out their vines as they launched from balcony to balcony as they glared outwards at a video image of Sublimino on one of the screens.)
Sublimino: "You there, plant people! Stop! Obey me!"
Blossom Rose: "Not happening."
(Blossom Rose said as she and her brother stretched away as Sublimino glared and spoke to his slaves.)
Sublimino: "Don't just stand there! Stop them!"
(As soon as they reached the next floor, Blossom Rose was immediately struck by the giveaway car and was being driven all around the mall before she gasped outwards and she was being tossed around on the car like a rag doll.)
Blossom Rose: "The emergency brake!"
(she realized before she stretched her vine fingers outwards and engaged the brake, stopping the car just short of hitting the toy store.)
(She was immediately thrown from the roof and face-planted into the glass window before slumping down unconscious.)
(Meanwhile, Wildvine was still looking for Sublimino when he saw Max and Gwen coming up in another car with Gwen driving as he quickly stretched his way onto the sign of a store and saw them drive past.)
Wildvine: "Hey, how come Gwen gets to drive?"
(he asked.)
(That was when the car drove off of the balcony's barrier, causing him to gasp.)
Wildvine: "Grandpa! Gwen!"
(he shouted.)
(Wildvine then leaped down and wrapped his vine-legs around the broken poles of the barrier before stretching his torso down as far as he could before he finally caught the car's rear bumper before he stretched out and grabbed the opposite barrier on the other side, the car stretching his body out like a hammock.)
Wildvine: "Hang on!"
(Wildvine groaned and shouted as the car stretched his body down before it finally reached the bottom floor.)
(He then ceased his grip on the barriers and slumped down to the ground as Gwen and Max stepped out.)
(Meanwhile, Blossom Rose rubbed her head and groaned as she stood up before she suddenly turned around and dodged an arrow that was shot at her as she gasped when she saw Becky aiming her bow at her and Allison absorb the linoleum from the floors with a glare as she formed her hands into hammers.)
Blossom Rose: "I don't want to fight you guys."
(Blossom Rose said as she then dodged and ducked down the arrows fired at her.)
Blossom Rose: "...But I will if I must!"
(She then dodged the arrows that were fired at her as she twirled around and fired vines out of her fingers as Allison fired at her and wrapped around her fist, which she then redirected and brought it around to hit Becky, knocking the wind out of her as her arrows and spear went flying and landed on the floor around her as she slumped against the wall.)
Blossom Rose: "Sorry, Becky!"
(she quickly said as she turned to her best friend and quickly dodged her swipes from her hammer hands and shouted out as she brought her in and gave her a kick before she charged up her rosebud attack and fired her solar beam from her flower once it bloomed and it blasted Allison to the opposite side.)
(Fortunately, it didn't kill her because of her armor protection, but it immediately dissolved around her once she fell unconscious against hte wall.)
Blossom Rose: "Sorry about that too, Allison!"
(she called before she saw Wildvine rising on the elevator before she shot her vines around the cables as well as she started rising as well before they both climbed up to the roof.)
Wildvine: "So, what's new with you?"
(Wildvine asked.)
Blossom Rose: "I just had to fight off our cousin and my best friend."
(Blossom Rose said.)
Wildvine: "And I just had to save our other cousin and grandfather from crashing in a fiery car crash... man, we're having a weird day."
Blossom Rose: "Moreso than usual."
(Blossom Rose said before they both fired their vines to the top floor and crashed into the security room where they were face-to-face with Sublimino.)
Wildvine: "Show's over, Sublimino!"
(Wildvine said.)
Wildvine: "Surrender!"
Sublimino: "Trim those weeds, my slaves!"
(Sublimino shouted as some of the previously hypnotised slaves came out with running chainsaws as Blossom Rose got a nervous look on her face.)
Wildvine: "Don't worry, sis."
(Wildvine said.)
Wildvine: "I have an idea."
(He whispered in her ear before she smiled.)
Blossom Rose: "I like that plan."
(Wildvine then shot up to the ceiling and grabbed onto it before releasing his seed pods from his back, unleashing a cloud of smoke, which enveloped the room before Blossom Rose ran in and put her hands together and unleashed her sleeping pollen from her pores, which the seniors then inhaled before falling asleep in the room.)
(Panicked, Sublimino ran away, but not before Wildvine caught him and wrapped his vine fingers around his legs before dangling him over the giant hypno clock with a glare as his sister showed up with a glare.)
(But that was when the ten minutes had expired and the Omnitrixes timed out, causing Ben to lose his grip as he and Sublimino were sent tumbling downwards onto the clock's hands.)
Sublimino: "You!"
(Sublimino glared.)
Sublimino: "I will put you into a trance from which you will never recover!"
(He reached into his coat pocket and brought out his pocketwatch, but that was before it was blasted out of his hands by Jen's energy blasts as she ran up on her energy platforms and smirked.)
Jen: "I don't think so."
(she said as she used her telekinesis on the pocketwatch and sent it into her hand.)
(That was when she saved Ben using her telekinesis when the second hand started ticking again and she glared outwards as he was set onto her platform.)
Jen: "You may do the honors, bro."
(she said, handing the pocketwatch to him.)
(He then pressed the button on the watch, releasing the sonic pulse again, enveloping everyone in the mall.)
Ben: "Everyone, wake up! You're all free!"
(he demanded.)
(That did the trick as everyone was sent out of their trance as Sublimino protested on the clock.)
Sublimino: "No! No, no! It isn't fair!"
Ben: "Who's the baby now!?"
(Ben shouted as Sublimino reached for him, but lost his balance and was sent tumbling downwards.)
(Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view, there was a bounce house underneath the clock that he immediately bounced off of and was sent into the floor, alive and well.)
(He tried to get up but was stopped by Max as he put his foot on the hypnotist.)
Max: "I don't think so."
(he said as Becky and Allison came in clutching their heads.)
Becky: "Ugh, what happened?"
(Becky asked.)
Becky: "I feel like I was just hit by a sledgehammer or something."
Allison: "And I feel like I was fried by a heat beam."
(Allison said.)
Allison: "Oh no, we fell under Sublimino's control, didn't we?"
Gwen: "I'm afraid so."
(Gwen grimaced as Max looked up.)
Max: "Where's Ben?"
(Max asked as Jen walked by while carrying Ben in her arms as he slept peacefully in her grasp.)
Jen: "Don't worry Granpda. He's taking a much-needed sleep."
(A few hours later...)
Gwen: "So, you're not going to prank me anymore?"
(Gwen asked as Ben sighed.)
Ben: "Nope. My pranking days are over."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "That trip to the future made me realize how much I need you guys to help me. You guys deserve my love and respect, and if that means I have to sacrifice my pranking, so be it."
Becky: "That's real hero talk."
(Becky said as Allison smiled from the side bar.)
Jen: "Now you're sounding more like your sister."
(Jen said with a smile as she gave Ben a playful noogie and they hugged.)
Gwen: "Aw."
(Gwen said as she hugged Ben.)
Gwen: "And we're sorry for the pranks back at the mall, but we had to try to keep you awake."
Ben: "It's fine."
(Ben said as he showed the pocketwatch.)
Ben: "As long as it got us something new for the collection."
(The kids all laughed again as the Rust Bucket continued on to its next destination.)
