(Later, after night has fallen, the Rust Bucket is still following Animo riding on his parrot.)
(Ben was in the front seat looking quite irritated that his sister was able to get her reward and he wasn't.)
(Meanwhile, Jen was picking through her new movies and Gwen was on her laptop, researching the team's foe.)
(Max smiled at the chase that was going on.)
Max: "Ah, just like the good old days before I retired."
Gwen: "So exactly what kind of plumber were you, Grandpa?"
(Gwen asked.)
(Max got a nervous look on his face.)
Max: "Uh-uh-A darn good one."
(Jen then got a suspicious look on her face.)
Jen: "Yeah, how can us chasing after a crazed scientist riding on a giant parrot remind you of fixing toilets?"
(Max then noticed the disappointed look on Ben's face and quickly changed the subject.)
Max: "Hey, Ben. Why Are you looking so down?"
Ben: "We saved an entire Mega Mart from being a giant hamster's chew toy and what do I get? Nothing!"
(Ben complained.)
Ben: "Meanwhile, my sister gets a whole shelf's worth of movies. It's not fair."
Max: "Being a hero isn't about others knowing you did something good, it's about you knowing you did something good."
(Max inquired.)
Max: "Being a hero is its own reward."
(Jen then looked at the movies in the box that she had gotten and then had the worst sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach.)
Ben: "Were you reading greeting cards at the Mega Mart?"
(Ben asked.)
Gwen: "Well, yes."
(Gwen then gasped as her laptop beeped.)
Gwen: "Bingo! Five years ago, Dr. Animo was a promising researcher in veterinary science. But it turned out, he was doing all kinds of twisted genetic experiments where he was mutating animals. And when he didn't win this big prize called the Verities Award, he flipped out."
(She then turned to her cousin with a smirk on her face.)
Gwen: "Anything about this sound familiar, Ben?"
(Max then looked out the window and saw the parrot make a left turn behind some buildings.)
Max: "We've lost him. He could be going anywhere in Washington D.C."
Jen: "Or Washington B.C. as he put it."
(Jen stated.)
(Ben then perked up at the 'B.C.' part.)
Ben: "That's it! I know where he's going! The Natural History Museum."
(Ben said as the four were standing in front of said monument.)
Jen: "I always wanted to visit the Smithsonian. I just never thought that it would be this way."
(Jen said.)
(Ben then leaned down and picked up a giant feather, obviously from the mutant parrot.)
Max: "Something tells me we're on the right track."
(Max said.)
Max: "Good thinking, Ben."
Gwen: "Guess even a doofus can surprise you once in a while."
(Gwen complimented.)
Ben: "You should know."
(Ben said as they walked inside.)
(The group made their way into the B.C. section of the museum, when Jen picked up something on one of the stands.)
(It was a chip from the Mega Mart.)
(They then saw Animo by the mastodon figure.)
(He then sensed them behind him.)
Animo: "You are very persistent. I hate persistent."
Jen: "We all know about you and your freakazoid experiments, Dr. Animo! It's over!"
(Jen stated.)
Animo: "Oh, but it's only just begun. See, I only needed a few components to push my work into Phase 2. Reanimation of dormant cells."
Ben: "Uh, does this guy come with subtitles?"
(Ben asked.)
(That was when Jen's eyes widened with horror.)
Jen: "Oh no. That means-"
Animo: "That's right, little girl! Bringing back life into that which has been long since lifeless! Observe!"
(He adjusted the dial on his Transmodulator and fired the beams at the mastodon, which came back to life with glowing red eyes and then stepped off the stand as the Tennysons stepped back in horror.)
Animo: "Behold the genius that is Doctor Animo!"
(He then ran away from the scene.)
Gwen: "Now would be a really good time to go hero."
(Gwen told the twins.)
Ben: "No duh!"
(Ben said.)
Jen: "You guys get Animo. We'll handle Jumbo."
(Jen said as she and her brother slammed their watch cores down.)
(The screen split in two as the transformations occurred.)
(The watch sank into Ben's watch 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.)
(This transformation was known as Four Arms.)
(Jen's watch sank into her wrist before brown fur spread up her hands and then spread all over her body.)
(Her eyes turned yellow with green sclera and her hair hardened itself into quills before it grew out into several spikes and grew down her back.)
(Her front teeth grew larger before she spun around like a ball before the transformation ended.)
(This form was known as Needle Mouse.)
(As the lights faded, Four Arms cracked all four of his knuckles while Needle Mouse got into a crouching position.)
Four Arms: "Let's wrestle."
(Four Arms said before he charged forward, grabbed the mammoth's tusks, and brought it down to the ground while Needle Mouse spin-dashed away a la Sonic the Hedgehog.)
(Gwen and Max went to stop Animo only to be stopped dead in their tracks by the mutant parrot.)
(Gwen then looked to her side and saw a spear being held by a stuffed caveman in one of the exhibits.)
(She grabbed it, swung it around like a bo staff and brought it down on the parrot's head before she slammed it into it's beak as it slammed it shut, breaking the spear and then ran away.)
Gwen: "The twins aren't the only one's with skills."
(Gwen smirked as they moved forward, Max in a state of shock.)
(However, they arrived too late as Animo used his Transmodulator on the Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton.)
(It then regenerated flesh and blood as it stepped off of the exhibit.)
(It was still missing some chunks of skin, showing the muscle.)
(Meanwhile, Four Arms was tossed back into the wall, leaving a dent as he saw the mammoth charged him.)
(Needle Mouse saw this and jumped down from the balcony with two of her quills in her hands as she brought them down on the mammoth, who shrieked in pain and thrashed around wildly with her hanging on for dear life.)
(Four Arms ran in and punched it in its trunk.)
(Unfortunately, it wrapped it around him and tossed him into another dinosaur skeleton, leaivng him dazed.)
Needle Mouse: "You are going down, Peanuts!"
(Needle Mouse was then bucked off of the mammoth and into a stuffed sabre tooth tiger.)
Needle Mouse: "Okay, no more Ms. Nice Alien!"
(she shouted as she hopped onto Four Arm's upper left hand and started to spin dash.)
Four Arms: "I like the way you think, sis."
(Four Arms said as he tossed his sister like a javelin and she slammed right into the mammoth, who then crashed into the pole and it collapsed on top of it.)
(Needle Mouse stumbled out, woozy from spinning around so much.)
Four Arms: "Are you okay?"
(Four Arms asked.)
Needle Mouse: "But, Mommy, I don't wanna shampoo the cupcake."
(Needle Mouse said with a look as she then passed out on the museum floor.)
(Four Arms then ran over and picked up his sleeping sister and ran towards their cousin and grandfather.)
(Speaking of whom, the pair of them ducked as the T-Rex's tail demolished the entryway they were standing by as Animo rode it to leave the museum.)
Animo: "I'd love to stay, but I have to claim the award I so richly deserve!"
(At that, the T-Rex crashed through the wall towards the hall where the award was being given out.)
(As Gwen and Max stood there, stunned, the mutant parrot swooped in and grabbed Gwen and flew away with her screaming.)
Max: "Ben!"
(Max shouted.)
(Four Arms ran out of the ruined wall, as Needle Mouse, who had recovered at this point, peeked out with a gasp as Four Arms leapt up using his strong legs to try to catch the parrot.)
(Max picked up a note that was left behind and pondered.)
(The parrot let out a yelp and looked back to see Four Arms gripping onto it, loosening a few of its feathers.)
Four Arms "No 'bye bye' for you, Birdy!"
(The birdy then shook him off for a few seconds as the watch timed out as he fell to the earth.)
(Luckily for him, he was still transformed when he hit the ground, leavingbehind a massive crater as the watched timed out in a flash of red light.)
(Ben crawled out of the crater to see the parrot fly away with his cousin in tow.)
Ben: "Gwen!"
(Then, Max and Jen, who had also timed out at this point, came driving up in the Rust Bucket.)
Max: "Somebody call for a taxi?"
(Max asked as Ben got in.)
Jen: "Don't lose sight of it this time!"
(Jen ordered as the RV sped away.)
Gwen: "Spend a summer with your grandpa, honey. It'll be an adventure."
(Gwen mocked her mother with a deadpan look and her arms crossed as the parrot flew away, grasping her backpack.)
(Meanwhile on the ground, the T-Rex roamed the streets, throwing the civilians into a panic as they ran away from it as it crushed a bus with its massive feet.)
(Then, it let out a massive roar.)
Animo: "Ah, I, too love my work."
(Animo said.)
(The camera zoomed in to its left foot, where a Gold Sumo Slammer card was stuck in its middle toe under its claw.)
(The parrot held Gwen's backpack in its beak atop the Washington Monument.)
(Gwen was freaking out as the backpack could barely support her weight.)
(Then, she got an idea and pulled her cellphone out of her pocket.)
Gwen: "Well, my mother said only to use this in an emergency."
(She dialed a number and held the phone to her ear.)
Gwen: "I think this qualifies."
(The Rust Bucket sped through the streets as the twins and Max looked for the parrot.)
Ben: "No sign of Beak Breath."
(Ben analyzed.)
Max: "There can't be that many places for a parrot the size of an elephant to roost."
(Max said before handing them the note.)
Max: "Here, look at what Dr. Animo left behind."
(Jen took it and the twins looked at it.)
Jen: "Dr. Kelly accepts Verities Award."
Ben: "He's gonna finally pick up his award!"
(Ben realized.)
Ben: "We've gotta stop him!"
Max: "First thing's first. We gotta find your cousin."
(Max reminded them.)
(Then, the phone on the raidator rang and it showed that Gwen was dialing them.)
Everyone: "Gwen!"
(They all exclaimed.)
Jen: "Hang on, cuz! We're coming!"
(Jen said as the camera zoomed to the parrot taking flight from the Monument, with Gwen clinging to the flagpole for dear life.)
Gwen: "I can't hold on much longer!"
(Then, she lost her grip on the cellphone, which came plummeting down to the earth.)
(They parked the Rust Bucket and got out just as the phone hit the ground, shattering into a million pieces.)
Max: "Oh no!"
(Max exclaimed as they looked up.)
Max: "Gwen will be next!"
(The twins then looked at their watches, which turned green and pink, signifying they were ready for action.)
Jen: "Not if we can help it!"
(Jen said.)
Ben: "It's Hero Time!"
(Ben shouted as they slammed their watches.)
(Jen's watch started surging with pink energy then covered her whole body with a pink energy surge, and she float in the air as she spun around then curled up as her body got wrapped by multiple lava-like silks until she was conceal within the lava-theme pupa then changed to orange crystal form.)
(The pupa start cracking then a long insectoid arm with three claws, spikes on the arm and coated with orange exoskeleton smashed of the pupa then her long legs with long thin talons and finally her head, which she matured to a young woman with light-orange skin and wore crown-like horns on her head, has C-cup breastbones, very large abdomen with light-like orb at the bottom tip and a pair of large skin-like wings.)
(Her clothes consisted of a one-piece pink and white bodysuit with wholes for the legs.)
(She is now a humanoid firefly-like creature with the watch symbol on her forehead.)
(She floated around gracefully as she open her eyes, revealing her black needle-like pupils with green sclera as she gave a elegant smile, threw a kick in the air, spun around and float gracefully as she finished her transformation.)
(This transformation was Firefly.)
(Ben's watch sank into his arm as the skin hardened and turned into a green exoskeleton with the hand becoming black with three clawed fingers.)
(His head morphed, growing four golden insectoid eyes that blinked vertically and his face turned black.)
(His body reshaped, becoming insectoid, as six green insect legs grew out of his sides, two green silk wings grew from his back, and his abdomen grew a large black stinger.)
(The watch symbol appeared on his forehead as he flapped his wings in a pose.)
(This transformation was Stinkfly.)
(As the transformations ended, Firefly turned to Stinkfly.)
Firefly: "Come, brother. We must save our cousin!"
(She then flapped her wings and flew up towards the monument.)
Stinkfly: "Since when are you in charge?"
(Stinkfly asked as he followed her.)
Firefly: "I am the older sister."
Stinkfly: "Only by three minutes."
(Gwen then finally lost her grip and went plummeting to the ground, only to be saved by Firefly as she grabbed her.)
Firefly: "I've got you, Gwendolyn!"
Gwen: "Huh?"
(She then looked to see who caught her and looked to see her cousins as insectoid aliens.)
Gwen: "Butterfly."
Firefly: "Firefly."
(she corrected as she swung her onto her back.)
Stinkfly: "And I'm Stinkfly."
(he said, flying by his sister.)
(Gwen sniffed and barfed in her mouth.)
Gwen: "Ew! This thing is grosser than you are normally!"
Stinkfly: "I can't help how I smell in this form."
Gwen: "Whatever. Anyway, thanks for the save."
(She then looked to see the parrot following them.)
Gwen: "*gasp* Incoming!"
Firefly: "Hang on!"
(Firefly shouted as they avoided the bird gracefully, doing aerobic tricks, much to Gwen's displeasure as she was becoming nauseous.)
(Soon, as Gwen rode on Firefly's back, the parrot grabbed at her with its talons.)
(Fortunately, Firefly ducked to save their cousin.)
Firefly: "How rude. It's not becoming of a lady to act like this, but it's what a hero does."
(Firefly said as she turned around and presented her rear to the parrot before firing a heat ray from it that blasted it's wing, scorching off a few feathers and the parrot screeched in pain, but ignored it as it continued to chase them.)
(Gwen was getting a little green in the face at this point.)
Gwen: "Oh. I think I'm going to be sick."
Firefly: "It's not very becoming to puke on a queen, Gwendolyn."
(Firefly stated as the twins bee-lined towards the Washington Monument.)
