Chapter 9: Help from Hank

Everyone onboard the bus, including Blaineley couldn't believe they had gotten themselves stuck in Texas. Many of them were starving as Ed had little choice but to share his snacks with them which were plenty.

"How the heck could one buy so many snacks with only twenty dollars?" asked June.

"You have to admit, the big guy knows his taste" laughed Ray Ray as he scarf down some chips.

"This isn't going to last us" sighed Rose.

"I bet it's going to be so hot outside" said Marceline.

"Why, can't you stand the sun, or perhaps you might be some magical creature of some sort" said Rose.

"Rose, ex nay on the magic aye" said Jake.

It was into another hour and everyone wasn't happy with their condition.

"This is crazy!" cried Blaineley, "We are going to die here in the desert!"

"Hey, at least if one of us goes first we won't have to hear you" laughed Buzz who still had his black eye from Blaineley.

"Enough, no one's going to die here, alright, can any of you create a transmitter of some sort even if it's primitive?" asked Zerg.

"Rolf knows something that'll work from the old country" said Rolf.

"And I might be able to tweak it" said Double D.

"Good, you two will be our only survival guides here" said Zerg.

"Well that's just great, we're being placed into the hands of these two" said Rachel.

"Well, I bet it's hotter outside there" said Dash as he looked out of the window.

"Don't make us think about heat" said Rachel.

About another hour into everyone's predicament, and still nothing from Rolf nor Double D on creating such a primitive device that would help everyone out.

"This is getting to be very pointless!" cried Blaineley as she was ready to have another fit.

Suddenly in the distance, Nazz spotted what seemed like to be two three vehicles coming toward them.

"Hey, guys, looks like we may get help after all!" cried Nazz.

"Help, about time, this better not be one of those mirages" said Blaineley.

Indeed it wasn't, a certain Hank Hill who was driving his favorite truck was with his son Bobby and his wife Peggy who was in the shotgun seat. Dale Gribble was driving his van with Joseph in the shotgun seat and in the other vehicle was a jeep driven by John Redcorn.

"There's something you don't see everyday on the road" said Hank as he looked at the mirror.

"Hey dad, look who it is!" cried Bobby with joy, "It's Blaineley from those reality shows!"

"You mean the Blaineley who nearly got the entire seasons two and three cancelled, I'm no fan of her tactics" said Hank.

"Oh Hank, they must have vehicle trouble, we should go and help out" said Peggy.

"Fine, it's the right thing to do for a Texan" said Hank.

As the trio of vehicles stopped, everyone who got out of their vehicles gasped with amazement of the sight of Blaineley as she stepped out of the bus.

"Excuse me for a moment, but do any of you have skills in being good mechanics?" asked Zerg.

"Hmm, I think I can handle it" said John Redcorn who stepped forward.

John Redcorn indeed went to work on the bus as everyone got out, it was quite the obvious from Redcorn's inspection of the bus that all it needed was fuel.

"There doesn't seem to be anything majorly wrong with your vehicle, it just needs fuel" said John Redcorn to Zerg.

"Duh, that's what I've been saying to her!" cried Zerg referring to Blaineley.

"You have some enmity toward her" said John Redcorn.

"Well, she did tell me to disrupt season three when I didn't want to" added Zerg.

"I think I can get the amount of fuel, you can get acquainted with these fine folks" continued John Redcorn.

"I can, eh, also help them with their vehicle" said Hank.

"Suit yourself" said John Redcorn as he got onto his jeep and headed off to get some more fuel.

Blaineley thought for a moment or two as Hank continued to inspect the bus for a second recommendation on what else might be wrong, then it hit her, what if Hank could become her version of Chef. But there was something odd about Hank, he didn't have Chef's personality, but he had his handiness ready.

"Mister, er, what's your last name?" asked Blaineley to Hank.

"The name is Hank Hill" replied Hank after he got up.

"I was wondering if it's possible you could have a part in the next season for our reality show" said Blaineley.

"What? Me?" cried Hank in such astonishment.

"Listen, please you would be part Chef on my side, at least his mechanical skills" said Blaineley.

"Hmm, I'd have to talk it over with Peggy" said Hank.

As Hank did just that, Dale Gribble who was interested in the prize money came up to Blaineley.

"You know, I'm a big fan of your work too" said Dale to Blaineley.

"Er, I am not sure you may fit in" said Blaineley.

"Oh come on, there must be something to have me and Joseph be in the next season" continued Dale.

"I'll have a talk to Chris and the producers about it when we get to the studios" continued Blaineley.

"You hear that son, we're going to be in season four!" laughed Dale.

"Alright!" laughed Joseph with joy.

It was only an hour or so later did John Redcorn came with the fuel for the bus and loaded it up, to which Zerg was able to start the bus' engine.

"Feel free for you all to tag along" said Blaineley as she was getting in the bus with everyone.

"I say we go for it" said Peggy.

As the four vehicles took off, they traveled across the many tights of Texas, and later they ended up hitting New Mexico, but it was when they were going to get to the border of Arizona that there was a major traffic jam up afoot.

"Great, what's causing this traffic jam!" cried Blaineley.

"I'll turn up the radio so that we all can hear what's going on" said John Redcorn who turned it up on his jeep.

"News reports have been stating that a large monster is preventing everyone from moving on the freeway, luckily, some superheroes have been called in, a robot, a ghostly hero known as Danny Phantom, Ben Tennyson, a boy who breathes fire, and a giant mech robot" said the news caster, "it should all be over within an hour or so."

"Hmm, superheroes onboard my side" said Blaineley as she got out of the bus.

"Hey, are you crazy?" cried Hank as he got out to try to stop Blaineley with John Redcorn joining the Hank.

Blaineley was quite fast, faster than Hank and John Redcorn in spite of Redcorn's physical shape being better than Hank's. As the trio passed a row of cars which had their engines turned off, there was a large demonic-like ape monster terrorizing the desert area tossing cars that were parked like they were toys.

"Stay down!" cried Dexter who was controlling the mech as he fired lasers from the mech.

"Oh boy, pretty buttons!" cried Dee Dee as she was in the shotgun seat trying to press them randomly.

"This is crazy!" cried Danny as he fired an ecto-energy blast at the monster with XJ9 firing her sonic cannon at the beast.

"I know what you mean!" cried XJ9.

"This is too much!" cried Duncan Rosenblatt who fired a breath of fire at the large monster.

"Let me handle this as Ultimate Humongosaur!" cried Ben as he used his Ultimate Omnitrix to change into that alien.

A few rounds with the monster was over with the help of Ben, to which as Ben turned back to his normal self, with Danny and XJ9 floating down, it was finally time when Hiro and Danielle arrived on the scene only to miss seconds of the action.

"Darn it!" cried Danielle, "That flight from Japan was so long!"

"Hey, good thing I brought plenty of fuel for my jetpack" said Hiro as he landed.

"Well, isn't this a coincidence" said Blaineley as she came into the scene.

"Oh no, look who we have here" sighed Danny who didn't like Blaineley's presence.

Suddenly the RV that Jack Fenton was controlling came into the scene accidently crashing into a few cars and nearly missing Hank and John Redcorn.

"Sorry about that!" cried Jack Fenton.

"I am guessing our insurance is going to go up because of this" sighed Jazz.

"Nicely done on how you handled that monster" said Kevin who came into the scene with Gwen.

"You must be that famous Ben Tennyson" said Blaineley, "it would be an honor if you'd join us, and anyone of your superhero friends."

"Alright lady, civilians are not allowed" said Colonel Booshwa Barnes who came ruthlessly into the scene with some members of the military.

Suddenly, a spark came into Blaineley's head as this colonel could make up for Hank Hill's lack of Chef's hard hitting attitude.

"You would be perfect for a reality show" said Blaineley to Colonel Barnes.

"Listen lady, I do not care if you're a famous star, you're not allowed here" said Colonel Barnes.

"It's okay colonel" said Ms. Wakeman.

"Alright, fine" said Colonel Barnes who obviously didn't seem to like Blaineley's presence.

"So, are you two willing to convert to be on my side this season?" asked Blaineley to Danielle and Hiro whom were holding hands.

"Er, no thanks" said Danielle.

"Yeah, we're quite busy, but we'll meet you at the studios for the next season" said Hiro as he took off with Danielle in his jetpack.

"Darn it!" cried Blaineley.

"I can join your side" said XJ9, "so long as Brad, Tuck and Sheldon can have room."

"Fine, they can join my Idea Team" said Blaineley.

"Hey, what about me?" cried Dexter who hopped down from his mech.

"Hmm, you seem to have an annoying sibling with you" said Blaineley to which Dee Dee fell from the mech right onto Dexter.

"Yes, you are correct" sighed Dexter.

"How about you, er" said Blaineley to Duncan.

"The name's Duncan Rosenblatt" said Duncan.

"Would you like to be on one of my teams?" asked Blaineley to which sparked Colonel Barnes as he turned toward her.

"I see your game lady, he's going to join your side, so long as you got a place for me, I am his guardian" said Colonel Barnes.

"Okay, okay, you can come along too, yes" said Blaineley who knew Colonel Barnes would make up for Hank Hill being a bit too kind.

"We'll meet you at the studios" said Colonel Barnes, "and oh, btw, Duncan won't be joining the others on that cramped bus of yours."

"Well Danny thinking of joining your cousin for the next season?" asked Jack Fenton to Danny as he got into the RV with Sam and Tucker there along with Jazz and Madie.

"I think I'd rather take a shortcut and get to the studios first and not follow Blaineley" said Danny.

"You sure about that with the way your dad drives?" cried Tucker.

As the traffic began to move, Ben, Kevin and Gwen began to follow the four vehicles in Kevin's own car, the five vehicles were heading toward California, specifically toward Ocean Shores.
