It was just another ordinary day, AllStar and the gang were on a field trip at the Hospital during Influenza Month. The entire class seemed to be half asleep as Ms. Seabottom explains the importance of good health, diet, exercise, and peace of mind in the lobby. Junior was sleeping in the lounge chair as most of the class were daydreaming or trying to stay awake.

The only snork who seems to be listening is AllStar who was taking notes, maybe that Pneumonia infection had gotten the snork interested in Medicine as well as Science. He didn't seem to have no problem with Ms. Seabottom's speech, until she finished.

"Okay class, you have about 30 minutes for break before we're moving on to meet one of the doctors." she explains, the entire class soon come to their senses and began to wonder what happened, "If you need to use the bathroom, use it now."

AllStar got up and head to the restroom as Junior sneaked up behind, in an attempt to spook him. AllStar abruptly stops and Junior bumps into him, but AllStar holds his ground, "You know I could hear you Junior," he said as he turns around to face him, "You aren't a Stealthy snork for crying out loud."

"Wanna bet AllWet?" asked Junior rudely.

"We've already betted on this Junior," claimed AllStar, "About a week ago, you lost."

"We did?" asked Junior as he scratches his head, "How did I lost?"

"You took a chunk of corral to the skull and you were knocked out cold as a result," said AllStar, "Dimmy thought it would be funny to right graffiti all over you awhile you were unconscious for 3 hours."

"That explains this then," responds Junior as he lifts up his shirt, revealing a Tic Tac Toe grid on his belly, "My mom can't to get it off no matter how hard she tries, I can't believe this is my very first tattoo."

"Have you tried WD-40 to remove the ink?" asked AllStar as Junior puts his shirt back down.

"No," grumbled Junior, "I have not tried that yet, how did you know that?"

"Radio wrote math problems all over my body awhile I was sleeping one night," replies AllStar, "I don't know how he broke into my home, but when I saw the graffiti I know it was him as he always leaves a circle with an A in it. Smack dab on my face."

Junior snickers as he tries his best not to laugh, he had seen Radio's prank on AllStar for himself that unfortunate day and he is still laughing about it. He even secretly took pictures of AllStar and managed to distribute copies throughout the school, it has gotten so far that the Snorkland Media nearly broadcast the photos onto the news until Radio stepped in and steals the photos somehow.

"You better not be still laughing at that," groaned AllStar.

"Umm, just a little." chuckled Junior.

"A little or a lot?"

"What is that supposed to mean?"

Suddenly, a couple of doctors came rushing past them awhile pushing a gurney. A snork was laying on that gurney clutching his arm, which was bleeding massively. AllStar managed to get a glimpse of the snork's wound as he and the doctors past them, the wound was a shape of an arch and it appears to be a bite. He's been bitten by something, and AllStar could tell that it isn't from a Snork Eater due to the teeth patterns on the bite.

The teeth patterns revealed that he has been bitten by a humanoid, and the only humanoids around are Snorks. As the doctors made a turn into another hall, Dimmy, Casey, and Daffney rushed to AllStar and Junior in amazement.

"Wow, did you see that?" asked Dimmy, "The snork had a bite on his arm?"

"Not just any ordinary bite," claims AllStar, "The teeth patterns tells me that it came from a Humanoid, and the only humanoids around here are Snorks."

"Vroom woot?" tooted Tooter.

"Could a snork make a bite like that?" asked Daffney.

"With Supersnork strength they could," says AllStar, "I should ask Uncle Gallio about this, cause this seem to be very unusual."

"Could be a Snork Eater for all I know," says Junior.

"I hope you're right Junior." said AllStar, "Cause something is telling me that something is coming up."

The field trip had ended hours later. By the time they left, more snorks with bites were rushed into the hospital. After being dropped off at school, AllStar puts on his backpack and rushed to Dr. Gallio's lab. They found him in his living room watching the news on his CRT Television set, the news were talking about snorks that were rushing over to the Snorkland Hospital with bite wounds in mass numbers.

"Hi Uncle Gallio," says AllStar as he takes off his backpack.

"Hi AllStar," said Dr. Gallio as he looked at him, "Don't tell me how's your field trip to the hospital, I bet it's full of chaos."

"Indeed it was, I was going to ask you about it."

"About what?"

"These bites that the snorks have, what do you think that might have caused them?"

"Well, only a snork can make a bite that seemingly perfect."

AllStar sat down on the couch next to Dr. Gallio and stares at the TV, he saw paramedic's pulling injured snorks with horribly infected bites out of ambulances and were rushed into the hospitals awhile they were on gurneys. The chaos was dramatic, so dramatic that AllStar couldn't believe his eyes.

"Hrm, something seems to catch my eye," said Dr. Gallio, "See those bites, they appear to be horribly infected. Could it be Seaworthy's Disease?"

"No one said a word about Influenza, it could be the virus." said AllStar.

Seaworthy's Disease is a vicious virus, it spreads like the Common Cold and is as lethal as Ebola. It usually spreads through the water or direct contact with infected bodily fluids, such as being bitten by an infected person.

Of course, no one has seen any signs of the virus lurking around. The only sign of the virus are the nasty infections on bite wounds, if it ever enters the body from a wound. AllStar heard something from outside and got off the couch, he quickly swam to the window and saw what appears to be an ambulance taking a snork with a bite mark on his arm. There was another snork lying face down on the ground, it's skin was gray.

The snork's head was caved in and brain matter and blood scattered throughout the sand, AllStar could also see that the snork had a bite wound on it's arm as well as the snork being taken away to the hospital. A paramedic covers the Gray Snork's body and the Snork Patrol soon arrived, Corky got out of his submarine and swam to the paramedics to ask what happened. AllStar wished what they were talking about. They seemed to be frightened, he could tell by the look in their eyes.

When he heard someone scream outside, AllStar closes the blinds and turns to face Dr. Gallio. "I'm gonna go now," he says, "I'll see you tomorrow Uncle Gallio."

"Okay AllStar, be careful out there." said Dr. Gallio.

"I'll be more than careful," said AllStar as he picks up his backpack, "Whatevers going on in Snorkland, I best be home before 5, it's getting dark outside already."

AllStar and Dr. Gallio said their goodbyes and AllStar rushed out of the building, heading straight for home. Whatever is going on in Snorkland, AllStar doesn't want to be caught in the middle of it in the dead of night.
