Driving across the sizzling desert road, the Rustbucket approached a little town in the distance.

(VRRRRRR)

Ben: Ugh... Do we have to visit Greautie Vera? Especially in the summer?!

Ben: She practically lives next to the sun!

Max: We were close anyway, so might as well.

Max: Besides, my sister rarely gets visited.

Ben: Maybe because she lives in the hottest place on earth!

Gwen: Wow. For once, you aren't entirely wrong.

Gwen: Death Valley isn't far from where she lives.

Ben: Death Valley!? Cool!

Ben: Can we at least make a pit stop there?

Max: After we visit Vera.

Ben: Ugh...

Max: Come on, she'll be so happy to see you two.

Ben: Don't you mean, "see what's left of us"? Because I'm melting here.

Gwen: Oh poor, you.

Looking back at Gwen, Ben saw her with a bag of frozen worms on her head.

Ben:!!

Ben: You have worms!?

Gwen:(cringes) Don't phrase it like that, doofus.....

Ben: Hey, give me some of your worms.

Gwen: Ugh... You're doing it on purpose!

Ben: Well...?

Gwen: No! Get your own!

Ben: Grandpa! Gwen won't share her worms!

Gwen: Stop phrasing it like that!!

Ben:(smug grin)

Ben:(mumbles) Gwen eats dirt♪ she's full of worms♪

Gwen: Tch! Fine, take it!

(Smack)

Ben: Hah! Thanks, dweeb.

Gwen:(puts icy worms back on the head)

Gwen: Enjoy the worms that my sweaty back has been leaning on.

Ben: Ew!

Gwen:(chuckles)...

(Opening theme)

Staring out the window, Ben looked at the houses as they drove by them.

There were people in their late 80s and people in their early 20s in the neighborhood.

Seeing a truck carrying something large with a tarp over it, Ben was kinda curious about it, until Max turned the corner.

They quickly arrived at Ben and Gwen's great aunt Vera's house.

(Ditsy great aunt: Vera Tennyson)

Vera: Maxy!

Max: Vera!

The siblings hug it out before the Great aunt turned to her great-niece and nephew.

Vera: Gwen! Ben! You've grown so much!

Gwen:(polite smile) Hi, Grea-auntie Vera.

Her cheeks get pinched by Vera.

Gwen: Ugh!

She walks over to Ben.

Ben: Hey Grea-auntie- Don't pull my-

She pulls on Ben's cheeks.

Ben:(slured) Yeah, my face is real, no need to check!

Gwen: Could have fooled me.

Ben:(rubs cheeks) I think yours came loose, dweeb.

Gwen:(rubs cheek)

Vera:(giggles)

Vera: Come. Come inside.

Entering her house, Vera quickly presented the trio with her infamous jello. Filled with random fruits.

Vera: Dig in.

Ben/Gwen:...

Ben:(sigh)

Vera: So how was your trip?

Ben: Scorching hot...

Max: It was fine. Nothing eventful. What about you?

Vera: Oh, same here.

Vera: But did you hear? Little Joel is getting married!

Max: Oh... I HEARD.

Max: I was thinking of bringing Ben and Gwen... But we'll see.

Ben:(mind) Guess I've got that to "look forward to".

Vera: Gweny, tell me, how's Kenny doing?

Gwen: Ken? Fine I guess... He's at summer camp.

Vera: What a boy scout. Benny, did you not want to go to a camp?

Ben: Heck no! Camp is just school in the woods.

Vera: Ah. You're the free-spirited type?

Ben: You can say that... I like traveling.

Vera:(giggles)

Vera: You're just like Maxy when he was your age.

Ben: Really?

Vera: Maybe old Maxy here can help you become one of those super plumbers he was.

Vera: So you can travel the world more.

Max: Vera...

Ben: Yeah... I don't want to fix toilets.

(Doot-dooot-dooot♪)

Ben/Gwen:!?

Ben: Was that...?

Gwen: An ice cream truck...?

Gwen/Ben: Just now!?

Vera: Oh, you want some ice cream?

She pulls out her wallet and gives Ben and Gwen a few dollars.

Ben/Gwen:!

Vera: Go get yourselves some frosty treats.

Ben/Gwen: Thanks, Grea-auntie Vera!

Ben: Race you there, Dweeb!

Grabbing his half of the cash, Ben races off.

Gwen: You're on doofus!

She races after him.

Thus the cousins began their chase for the ice cream truck.

Ben:(waving) Yo!

The truck did not stop but sped up.

Ben/Gwen:!?

In this heat, the two could not continue. Ben was bent over heaving heavy breaths as Gwen panted harshly on the sidewalk.

Ben:(panting) What the... Heck!

Ben: You saw that, right...(pants)... It sped up...(pants)... The jerk SPED UP!

Gwen:(panting) Yeah...

Gwen:(panting) They saw us...(pants) Definitely saw us...

Gwen: And it looks like everyone else...

Ben: Huh?

Ben had picked up that Gwen noticed something. Looking around, he saw all the residents staring.

They were looking at the cousins, not directly, but while doing their activities. Giving off a judgmental side gaze.

Ben: What? Are kids chasing ice cream weird?

Gwen: I think we should go back...

Ben: I'm not done. That driver ticked off the wrong kid.

Not giving up, Ben marches on.

Gwen:....(looks around)...

Gwen: W-wait up!

Not feeling safe with how all the adults stared at her, Gwen reluctantly joined Ben.

Ben: Now where could they have gone...?

Gwen: Maybe we should just head back. We'll never find a truck that's sped off who knows where.

Ben: WE might not be able to...

Ben: But I know a speedster who can check the entire town in zero-point-Imma bout' to find out!

Running up a tree, Ben transforms.

(TSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

(SWOOOOSH)

Faster than anyone could see, XLR8 picked up Gwen and raced around town for that Ice cream truck.

XLR8: Heh.

Sliding into a garage before its doors closed, Ben hid with Gwen in a metal locker as the driver went to another room.

(Creeeek)

(Shunk)

Opening the locker Gwen stumbles towards the closest trash can and pukes.

Gwen: Blehhhh!

Gwen:... Never... Do that again...

XLR8: Quit your complaining. And start screaming for Ice cream!

He opens the back of the ice cream truck.

XLR8: Mint chocolate chip, come to- What?

Inside the ice cream truck was a bunch of surveillance equipment. Something ripped straight from a spy thriller.

XLR8: Where's the ice cream?!

Gwen: Ben... I don't think this is a real ice cream truck...

Climbing in, Ben looks around.

XLR8: You can't be serious!

Gwen:(looks in the truck)

Gwen: It seems the driver was keeping an eye on the town.

XLR8: What for?

Gwen: How should I know?

XLR8: Hmph. If I can't have ice cream, I'm having an adventure.

Gwen: We have to tell grandpa.

XLR8: Relax. I have super speed. In and out, in a flash!

Sliding over to the door out of the garage, Ben peeks into the other room to see, not a normal house interior, but a facility-like structure.

Something akin to a budget hospital or retirement home.

XLR8: You coming?

Gwen: I'm staying here. See what this fake cream truck is hiding.

XLR8: Suit yourself.

(SWOOOSH)

Speeding into a few rooms, Ben stopped inside a room filled with medieval artifacts.

Armor, weapons on walls, murals of a knight fighting a monster.

XLR8: Cool...

???: Huh...?

Finally noticing an old man in a wheelchair, Ben panicked and raced out of the room.

???:.....(sigh)

(Sir George)

Finding his way down into the basement, Ben discovered a massive complex that was filled with Alien tech.

XLR8: Now this is crazy...

The alien tech was strange enough, but the banners were even crazier for some reason.

XLR8: The Renaissance has gotten into Sci-fi...

(Doot-doot)

XLR8: Uh-oh. Better dash!

(Swooosh)

(ZAP)

XLR8: GHA!

Running into a wall of electricity, Ben bounces back before reverting to his human form.

(Doooot)

Ben: Ugh... What the...?

Speaker: Alien scum! You dare trespass on our planet?

Ben: There's been a misunderstanding-

Speaker: Wait and rot as our soldiers come to claim your head.

Ben: Wait, hold on!

Looking around and at his watch, Ben began looking for a place to hide until the watch recharged.

Gwen used her knowledge of computers to try and figure out what the ice cream truck was hiding.

Discovering notes talking about how "Sir George" was secure, Gwen then noticed an alarm go off in the truck broadcasting how someone broke into the "trophy room".

Seeing Ben on the footage that went along with it, Gwen rushed to find him.

As she does, Gwen narrowly avoids getting spotted by men wearing chainmail racing to the basement by jumping into a random room.

Gwen:(sigh)...

George: You shouldn't be here...

Gwen:!!?

Gwen: Uh... S-sorry! Wrong room.

George: It's okay...

The elderly man plays with a coin.

Gwen: I'm sorry for disturbing you.

She leaves the room and sneaks into the basement where she saw the chainmail knights with metal masks gathered around an electric wall.

Knight: Forever Knights! It is finally time for us to slay an alien invader and claim unimaginable glory!

Knights:(cheer)

They hold up strange spears with some kind of barrel part of it.

Gwen:!

Looking around Gwen tried to figure out how to save Ben, who was peeking behind one of the alien objects.

Ben:(mind) Oh man... This ain't looking good.

Staring at the watch, Ben saw it was still recharging, as shown by the red faceplate.

Ben:(mumbles) I just wanted Ice cream...

(Zoop)

Hearing the electric wall shut down, followed by marching, Ben prepared to run, until Gwen messed with the fuse box.

(FOOMP)

All the lights went out.

Ben attempted to run, but he couldn't see a single thing, thus he immediately bumped into a knight.

Knight: Ahhh! The Alien is attacking me!

Feeling around for one of the "trophies"  Ben hides behind it as the Knights turn on their flashlights.

Knight: Show yourself alien!

Ben:!!

Ben:(mind) Any day now, Watch!

He mashed the button that armed the device. The knights began looking behind every alien object.

Ben:(mind) Come on!

These "Forever Knights" got ever closer to finding Ben.

(Bring)

Ben:!

Knight: I heard something!

Ben:(mind) Yep! It's called Four Arms time!

(TSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

Knight: RAAAAH!

Swinging their spear at the source of the green flash, the knight felt no contact was made.

Knight:?

(Tap, tap)

Knight: Hm?

They turn to see a horrific alien.

Ben: Boo.

(Ghostfreak)

Knight: WHAAAAAAAA!!

In the dark, the ghostly alien knocked out the Knights, before floating out of the room.

Gwen:... Ben...?

Picking Gwen up, Ben carried her out whilst holding a hand on her mouth.

Ghostfreak: Shut up, Dweeb we're Ghosting these Medival nerds!

Turning himself invisible, Ben carried Gwen out of the retirement home where he then dropped her off and let her run back to Vera's home.

Ghostfreak: This place sucks!

After meeting up with Max and explaining the situation, the Tennysons' agreed to meet Vera at the wedding.

(Later....)

A man in knight armor and a gold mask arrived at the retirement home.

(King of the Forever Knights: Enoch)

He stared at the footage of the break-in.

Enoch:...

Enoch: Find out who these children are.

Enoch: And maybe I'll release you from guard duty.

He told the knights who failed to capture Ben.

Knights: Yes my lord!

George watched from his little window how Enoch entered a limousine and drove off.

George:(plays with coin)...

(Ending theme)
