(Late at night with a full moon in the sky by a lake, Ben was in his blue bathing suit and ran up to the lake.)
Ben: "Cannonball!"
(He then did said dive into the lake before surfacing and spitting the water out.)
Ben: "And he scores: Yes! PERFECT 10! Yeah! *Imitates crowd cheering* and the crowd loves him!"
(We then see Jen and Gwen on the boardwalk as Jen smiled and shook her head while Gwen sighed.)
Gwen: "A perfect dweeb is more like it."
Jen: "Hey, let the kid have some fun. It's not like he's making fun of you right now."
(Jen said.)
Ben: "Yeah. Come on, dive in!"
(Ben encouraged.)
Gwen: "Are you kidding me? Please! Who knows what nasty slimy things are slithering around in there?"
(Gwen then shone her flashlight on Ben.)
Gwen: "I rest my case."
Jen: "Okay, that was totally uncalled for."
(Jen chided her cousin.)
Ben: "What's the point of camping by a lake if you're afraid to get wet?"
(Ben asked as he splashed the girls.)
Gwen: "Knock it off, midget!"
(Gwen complained before walking away.)
Ben: "Hey!"
(Ben shouted as he started flailing in the water.)
Ben: "What's happe-"
(He then fell below the water as if drowning.)
Jen: "Very funny, Ben!"
(Jen said, not convinced in the least bit, seeing as she sees her brother every day and is used to his little jokes.)
Jen: "I'm not falling for it."
(Gwen then walked back, a bit concerned as the two saw bubbles rising up out of the water with a look of concern.)
Gwen: "Ben?"
(Then, a giant monster covered in seaweed rose up from out of the water with a growl as the girls screamed and hugged each other in fear.)
(But, as they dropped the flashlight, the light shone on the monster's face, reavealing that of Four Arms.)
Jen: "Not funny, bro!"
(Jen shouted.)
Jen: "Still getting used to the pranks he can pull now that he has that watch."
Ben: "You should've seen the looks on your faces! Ah, priceless!"
(Ben said as pulled off some of the seaweed.)
Gwen: "You are so busted when I tell Grandpa!"
(Gwen shouted as she ran to the Rust Bucket, leaving a very disappointed Jen behind to chide her brother.)
Jen: "Seriously, Ben. We're supposed to use our powers for the right reasons, not to pull pranks or to cheat at anything."
Four Arms: "I can't believe you two fell for it! A monster in the lake!"
(Four Arms said.)
Jen: "Okay, you got me there. How stupid am I?"
(Jen asked herself.)
(Then, without warning, the twins looked to see a green-scaled monster with two tendrils coming from its mouth and a long neck rise up from out of the lake, causing the two to scream.)
Four Arms: "Apparently, not that stupid, sis!"
(The monster grabbed Four Arms with its tentacle and tossed him a few miles out further into the lake.)
(Before he could get a chance to resurface and fight back, he was grabbed again.)
Jen: "Hang on, bro!"
(Jen shouted as she dialed her watch and slammed the core down, releasing a flash of bright pink light.)
(The watch sank into her wrist and her hand was enveloped in green crystal, which then followed suit with her entire body before it closed in around her head and her eyes turned yellow.)
(Four crystal spikes grew from her back and her outfit morphed into a pink jumpsuit with the watch symbol on her left breast area.)
(She then struck a pose as she transformed into Diamondhead.)
(Diamondhead then tossed a few diamond projectiles at the monster, but they just shattered off of the monster's hard scale body.)
(The monster then grabbed her as well and dragged her under the water along with her brother.)
(They then looked into the monster's giant blue eye and gasped, letting loose their breath before Diamondhead focused, and grew her blade slightly, causing the monster to let her go due to the pain.)
(Four Arms broke out of his tendril by struggling out and the two then resurfaced and swam to the shore as fast as they could before running for the Rust Bucket and barging inside, waking up their drowsy cousin and grandfather.?
Four Arms: "We were just attacked by a giant lake monster!"
(Four Arms shouted.)
(Gwen then threw her pillow at him, hitting him in the face.)
Gwen: "Hello, current events. You already got me with that one."
(She then pulled the covers over her head and tried to go back to sleep.)
Four Arms: "But I'm not kidding this time. Jen was there with me, she'll testify to this!"
Diamondhead: "It's true! I couldn't make this kind of stuff up if I wanted to! Then again, I couldn't make up getting a watch that turns me into alien creatures either and look where I am now."
(Diamondhead said.)
Max: "Come on, kiddos. Joke's over."
(Max said, sleepily.)
Four Arms: "But- we-"
(Four Arms studdered as the watches timed out.)
Max: "Get some sleep. Remember, we have an early day tomorrow for our fishing trip."
(The watches timed out, leaving the two back in their human forms.)
Jen: "Come on, Ben. He's right. We could use some rest."
(Jen said before yawning, stretching her arms up and going inside, leaving a disappointed Ben.)
(The next morning, the four were walking towards the dock with the twins trying their best to explain their encounter the previous night.)
(Max was holding a fishing rod and a cooler for the fish they were to catch.)
Ben: "No, really!"
(Ben exclaimed.)
Ben: "It was humongous with these red glowing eyes!"
Max: "I'm sure it was just some kind of big fish."
(Max said.)
Max: "That's all."
Gwen: "Yeah."
(Gwen agreed.)
Gwen: "So give the mega-fish story a rest, will you Captain Dweeb?"
Jen: "He's not lying! I was there!"
(Jen said.)
Jen: "When I'm testifying to what Ben's saying, it's probably true."
Gwen: "Okay, I can expect this kind of behavior from Ben. But from you?"
(Gwen asked as Jen folded her arms and huffed.)
(Ben then walked ahead and saw a bucket full of live worms squirming around.)
(He then smirked devilishly, grabbed a handful, and showed them to Jen and Gwen, disgusting both of them.)
Ben: "Breakfast?"
Jen: "Oh, Ben. Gross!"
(Jen said.)
Gwen: "What's with the bucket of slimeys?"
(Gwen asked.)
Max: "Bait."
(Max explained.)
Gwen: "Yeah, well, I think I'm going to pass on the fishing thing."
(Gwen stated.)
Gwen: "I'll stay here and catch some sun instead."
Jen: "I think I'll keep her company."
(Jen said as the girls started walking away.)
Max: "Okay. But you don't know what you're missing."
(Max said.)
Gwen: "I'm pretty sure we do."
(Gwen said as the two walked away. )
(Max and Ben turned to the boat behind them, where the captain was preparing to go out.)
(He wore a beige long-sleeved shirt and a red and white cap
Max: "Captain Shaw?"
(Max addressed.)
Shaw: "Who wants to know?"
Max: "I'm Max Tennyson. And this is my grandson, Ben."
(Ben waved hello.)
Max: "We charted your boat today for a fishing trip."
Shaw: "Well what are you waiting for, an engraved invitation? Get aboard."
(Shaw said as he turned to the controls.)
Shaw: "I ain't got all day."
(Ben and Max climbed aboard as the boat left the dock and headed out on the lake.)
(As the boat continued on, Max turned to Shaw as he was driving the boat.)
Max: "Anything interesting to catch there today?"
(he asked.)
Shaw: "More than you can possibly imagine."
(Shaw answered.)
(He then turned to Ben, who was looking out over the boat and into the water.)
Shaw: "Looks like your boy is using his breakfast as chum."
(Ben had put on a life jacket for safety as he gazed out into the water.)
Max: "Ben, you feeling okay?"
(Max asked as Ben stood up.)
Ben: "Yeah. I'm just keeping an eye out for the lake monster. That thing's not taking me by surprise this time."
(Max raised an eyebrow at that.)
(Ben looked out and saw something unusual and gasped.)
Ben: "There it is!"
(But as the boat passed it by, Ben realized that it was just a fallen tree branch with a discarded cooler stuck in it.)
Ben: "Oh. My bad."
Max: "Now, Ben."
(Max addressed.)
Max: "This is a fishing trip. Not a monster hunt."
Shaw: "It's called the Krakken."
(Shaw said.)
Ben: "Whoa. You know about it?"
(Ben asked.)
Shaw: "It's my business to know about it."
(Shaw said as he showed a picture he took of the lake.)
(The picture had a shadowy figure under the water, as if it was the monster that the twins encountered before.)
Shaw: "I've been on its tail for years. Folks say my rudder's not right."
Max: "Why doesn't that surprise me?"
(Max asked.)
Shaw: "Sightings go back hundreds of years on this very lake."
(Shaw explained.)
Shaw: "Some say its a myth. Not me. I can take you to a spot where I personally laid eyes upon the beast. That is, if you got the stomach for some real adventure."
(Ben beamed up to his grandfather hopefully and Max sighed in defeat.)
Max: "I guess so."
Ben: "Allright!"
(Meanwhile at the docks, Gwen was staring up at the sun while Jen strummed her guitar to herself and muttered osme lyrics to herself as she tried to make up a song in her mind.)
Jen: "Then I wouldn't be bitter; I'd just be better now."
(she hummed before she looked over at her cousin and sighed heavily before she walked over to her with a sigh.)
Jen: "We weren't joking about the Krakken, you know."
Gwen: "Oh, really?"
(Gwen asked as she sat up from her laying position on the docks.)
Gwen: "Before the start of the summer, I would've sided with you on this. But after what's happened so far, even if I didn't experience it for myself and Ben was alone, I would've sided with him."
Jen: "Why? You know as well as I do that it's crazy talk to think of a lake monster attack."
Gwen: "Is it?"
(Gwen raised an eyebrow at her cousin's remark.)
Jen: "I mean, think about it. Two alien watches from the sky dropped down right in front of me and my brother."
(Jen said, showing her watch.)
Jen: "I'm just saying. Strange things have happened to us. Let's not rule a monster attack out of the realm of possibility just yet."
(A bit later, Shaw showed the boys the controls equipped on his boat to help him catch the Krakken.)
Shaw: "Sonar, hi-def video setup, ultrasound, I got it all."
(he said.)
Shaw: "And I will find it. Mark my words. It can't hide forever."
(Ben stared in wonder before Max took him aside to have a word from him.)
Max: "Ben."
(he said.)
Max: "I don't want you to put too much stock into what Mr. Shaw says. I don't think he has both oars in the water if you know what I mean."
Ben: "Why? Just because he saw the Krakken too?"
(Ben asked with a bit of an upset tone.)
Ben: "I'm telling you that and I aren't crazy."
(Later, the boat had stopped.)
(For in front of them were a few buoys floating in the water held together with a line that read 'Do Not Enter' forming a barrier over the further area of the lake.)
Shaw: "'Do Not Enter?'"
(Shaw asked in shock.)
Shaw: "What's going on?"
Max: "Looks official."
(Max said.)
Max: "Maybe we should turn back."
Shaw: "Nonsense. This is my lake and I'll go wherever I-"
???: "Fishing boat."
(A male voice interrupted.)
???: "Stop where you are."
(The boys looked over to see a big white and blue boat with a few men on it.)
(The side of the boat had the initials F.O.F. written on the side in blue bold letters.)
(The men wore blue uniforms with black collars.)
(The leader had brown hair and a goatee and he stepped up to the edge of the boat with a friendly smile.)
Jonah: "I'm Jonah Melville, the founder of Friends of Fish. We've closed this section of the lake for an environmental study."
(Jonah explained.)
Jonah: "You'll have to turn your boat around."
Shaw: "Who's gonna make me, fish-hugger?"
Max: "Well."
(Max said.)
Max: "since I charted the boat for the day, I believe I'm in charge. Isn't that right, Captain?"
(Shaw sighed in disappointment, knowing that Max was right.)
(He then walked off muttering to himself.)
Ben: "But what about the Krakken?"
(Ben asked.)
(Jonah laughed at that.)
Jonah: "The Krakken? Not that old fish story. Now look, I'm a marine biologist and anyone who tells you they've seen a monster in this lake is fishing without a hook."
(Then, Jonah and his crewmen walked away.)
(Ben then frowned and sighed.)
