Now we all know what's going to happen, so let's get on with it.
Also, thanks for all the new reviews and suggestions and I've replied to them at the end of the chapter.
Because you'd want to read it first and then see what I have to say. ;)

Previously on Stan 10: The group had arrived at the Universal Studios Hollywood complex and resort for the day.
Whilst Max was repairing the Rust Bucket, the kids walked into the resort where a new animated show was being broadcasted known as 'Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures' which featured kid-friendly animated versions of the aliens Stan could turn into.
Feeling outraged and angry at being mocked, Stan leaded Ben and Gwen into figuring out why the show was even made.
Eventually, a conspiracy theory was discovered involving the creator of 'Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures' And the 'Kangaroo Commando' franchises who were going to be killed.
Thankfully the group were able to prevent this from happening and swiftly moved on from Universal Studios Hollywood with Stan accepting the cartoon show that had been made.
Now moving on, the group will soon encounter another undead alien where a dramatic connection to a larger plot will soon be discovered...
Chapter 36: 'Under Wraps.'
It was a cloudy and dull evening in the state of South Carolina outside the rural farming community of Dairyville.
All seemed calm right until...
ZAP! SPARK! Rumble...
A bolt of purple lighting then struck the area creeping out nearby wildlife causing them to flee the area as a result whilst a pair of kids sneaked under a barbed-wire fence.
Both of the young teens wore old farm clothing and had a mischevious look in their eyes.
"Maybe we shouldn't be here." Someone then suggested to the two.
The kids turned around and saw a male kid who had thin black hair, deep blue eyes, had mud on his face and he was wearing farm overalls along with carrying a small Piglet in his arms.
"I knew we shouldn't have brought him. He's nothing but a big baby." One of the young teens pointed out as the kid carrying the Piglet clambered under the barbed-wire fence.
The other young teen then stated, "Come on Todd, don't wimp out now. It's just a little fun. We push over the Cow and it can't get back up."
Todd frowned before the first young teen said, "We'll even let you tip the first one. Unless... The little baby wants to go home so mommy can change his diaper!"
The young teen then mockingly sucked his thumb causing Todd and his pet Piglet to angrily walk towards one of the Cows.
Placing his hands on the Cow, Todd then tried his best to push the Cow over, but the large farm animal simply wouldn't budge.
Todd then slipped over and landed in a pile of thick mud that the Cow was standing in along with his pet Piglet who was also covered in mud.
SPLAT!
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Both young teens then blurted out as Todd glanced upwards at them with the Cow also glaring.
"Priceless!" The young teens laughed out before they froze in shock and then yelled out, "ARGHH! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"
"Squeak!" The young Piglet also grunted running for his life after the young teens.
"Hey? Where's everybody going?" Todd questioned the others before he turned around and saw the Cow glaring at him puffing its nose.
Standing his ground, Todd told the Cow, "Back off, Cow chip!"
The Cow then froze before it turned around and ran off with a startled, "MOO!"
Smirking, Todd then muttered to himself, "Yeah that's right! No one messes with Todd Maplewood!"
Thump... Thump... Thump...
Heavy moaning and breathing were then heard right behind Todd's back.
Scared, Todd then turned around and noticed a humanoid undead Mummy that was around the size of Diamondhead.
The Mummy's body was covered in a series of old bandages that covered him from head to toe with the gaps in his bandages glowing purple.
It wore an Egyptian headdress that was red and gold along with red bracers and greaves covering his head and arms with his eyes glowing a bright purple colour.
Holding out its arms, the Mummy then groaned out, "Urghh..." As purple lighting continued to zap the area around it.
ZAP! SPARK! CRASH! Rumble...
"ARGH! MUMMY!" Todd screamed in fear before he ran off leaving the Ancient Mummy alone in the field...
Several hours later the next day inside the Rust Bucket...
It was a bright and sunny day in a forest where the Rust Bucket was parked up next to a fishing lake on a dirt road.
Inside the RV, the kids were relaxing in different ways.
Gwen was reading her spell book with her left hand whilst her right hand was glowing with pink Mana energy as she manipulated a basketball practising a Telekinesis spell she was recently browsing.
Bzzzt... Whoosh...
"Hmm... Looks like I should be able to manipulate a variety of objects with this Telekinsnesis ability... I wonder if I could make short Mana blasts by manipulating the energy directly to my hands? Oh... This is going to be exciting!" Gwen rambled on under her breath wondering how she could become a better magic-user.
On the opposite side of the booth, Ben had his feet placed on the table whilst he was playing on his Game Boy with headphones covering his ears.
"Nibbler, could you get us a snack?" Ben questioned his Symbiote partner.
"Of course," Nibbler remarked back before he moved Ben's left hand and fired out a green tendril from it towards a cookie on a plate.
WHOOSH! SLITHER! SPLAT! GRAB!
Once Nibbler grabbed the cookie, the tendril returned to Ben who then promptly eat the food and playing the Game Boy at the same time.
Lastly, Stan was standing upwards against the wall reading his book on the autobiography of Geroge Washington enjoying the contents within the book.
"Fascinating... Should have finished this back in Madison Elementary School." Stan muttered to himself before he remarked, "Got to love Summer Vacation."
"True. Nothing to do all day long except sit around and..." Ben began before Max's hand tapped Ben's shoulder.
The kids then glanced up and saw a wet Max wearing a bathing gown with suds and shampoo on his head.
"Grandpa? What gives?" Ben questioned Max.
"What gives... Is that I ran out of water in the shower again!" A frustrated Max remarked to Ben before he grabbed hold of a towel and rubbed his head with it removing the suds of his grey hair.
The kids watched on with frowned looks as Max told Ben, "It's your job to keep the tank full Ben!"
"We will. Just later." Ben bluntly remarked back.
"Oh sure." Max muttered before he told Ben, "The same way you promised to make your bed or take out the trash?"
Looking back, Gwen and Stan noticed Ben's messy bed along with the rubbish bin being overflowed with trash.
Gwen then snicked slightly before Max told her, "Well you're a fine one to talk young lady. You think those dirty dishes are just gonna wash themselves?"
"Urgh... But it's summer vacation." Gwen groggily complained back.
Max then looked at Stan before bluntly saying, "You're not out the hook either, you should have gotten the dusting and hovering done ages ago."
"Whoop de flipping do." Stan snarkily replied to Max before he said, "If we wanted to do chores. We could have stayed back home."
Frustrated with the kid's attitude, Max glared before the radio conveniently played an advert that stated, "Y'all ready for a little fresh air? Want a chance to commune with the animals? Do you want to teach someone the value of some good old-fashioned hard work? Well, sign your whole clan up for a week at Dairyville Family Farm Fun Camp and experience life on a real working farm!"
Once the radio advert ended, the kids exchanged glances at each other before Max smirked and had a brilliant idea.
"We don't like that look in his eye." Ben bluntly stated before Gwen said, "Same here." With Stan remarking, "Oh this is going to not end well is it?"
Forty minutes later down a country road in South Carolina...
The Rust Bucket drove down a small hill where the Dairyville Family Farm was present.
Like any farm, there was a ranch for the animals along with a wooden barn, a shed and the main house where the farm owners lived with a wooden fence surrounding the land.
Inside the RV, Ben and Max were in the front whilst Gwen and Stan were in the side booth.
"Trust me, you're gonna love it. When I was a kid, I spent every summer on my Uncle Jeddieah's farm." Max eagerly informed the kids who all groaned back in response.
"Why must we go through this again?" Nibbler complained to Ben who muttered, "Learning about the ethics of hard work."
As Gwen muttered something to Max, Stan ignored that comment and thought, "Farm work? I didn't sign up for this. Just gotta get through this day..."
"Learning the value of a little hard work is just what you kids need." Max bluntly remarked interrupting Stan's thinking once per chapter.
Briefly shaking his head, Stan then noticed the Rust Bucket pull up onto the farm property before it stopped.
"Alright, we're here. Everyone out." Max told the kids before he opened the side door of the RV.
Creak...
Stepping outside, the group of four soon encountered the owner of the farm who was wearing farm overalls, had her brown hair tied in a ponytail and was standing near her son Todd.
"Welcome, I'm Joan Maplewood, this is my son Todd, you must be the Tennysons." Joan introduced herself to the group.
"Yes. Uh, call me Max. And these tenderfoot's are my grandkids and stepson, Ben, Gwen and Stan." Max informed her showing the kids.
Ben had his arms crossed over and was frowning, Gwen was staring at the sky with a dazed expression whilst Stan was slouched down and looking at the ground.
"Hi!" Todd greeted the kids who all boringly droaned, "Hey."
"Well enough chit-chat. You're here to work. You can start by unloading that truck full of feed over there." Joan informed the group.
"Righty-O." Max eagerly said walking off whilst the kids slouched after him.
As Max walked near the truck, he handed the bags of feed to Ben who struggled to lift it but managed to whilst Stan was then handed a bag of feed.
Only to end up on the dirt floor due to how heavy it was.
Thunk!
"Urgh... Come on..." Stan muttered under his breath trying to get up from the floor and lift the feed bag whilst Ben complained, "Aw man... There's got to be like a thousand of these things..."
Gwen was then handed a feed bag and slowly lifted it whilst Ben smirked and muttered, "Looks like a job for..." Before Nibbler told him, "Copy."
Splat... Slither... Squelch...
As green blobs began forming on Ben's left arm, Max grabbed the arm applying pressure to it as Nibbler could not materialize on Ben's body.
Grab!
"Ben. I'm too lazy to fill a Water Tank Tennyson. And only you two if you both know what I mean." Max warned Ben for not using his powers.
Ben nodded back before he walked off with Gwen and Stan standing near him.
"Why do I get the feeling that the fun part of Summer Vacation is over?" Gwen asked Stan and Ben.
"It's going to be a long time getting all this done." Stan nervously remarked back to Gwen and Ben.
Three to four hours later after a long and backbreaking job...
Inside a wooden barn, a massive pile of feedbags was present as Max hauled the last one in onto the pile.
Panting slightly, Max then muttered, "Well that's the last of it." *Phew* "Nothing like working up a good sweat right, kids?"
Looking down, Max noticed Gwen, Ben and Stan all lying on the floor with their muscles aching and complaining in pain.
"My leg... My leg..." Gwen muttered under her breath whilst Stan was flat out sleeping in exhaustion, "Zzzz..."
"Urgh... That was to much hard work." Ben complained to Nibbler who said, "Agreed. That was too much lifting for us."
Rolling his eyes at the kids antic's, a loud dinging was then heard as Joan shouted out, "Supper time! Come and get it!"
DING! DING! DING!
Immediately, the kids stirred awake as Stan woke up and muttered, "Dinner time already?"
A few moments later inside the Maplewood family house...
Creak... Groan...
The wooden house was quiet as the group of six eat on the table over the massive feast present.
Stan and Joan were at the opposite ends whilst Todd and Ben were sat on the lift with Gwen and Max on the right.
"Mmm... Good grub Joan." Max thanked thier host for the evening who said, "Glad to provide for our new guests."
"Yeah. With no actual grubs in it for a change." Gwen taunted Max looking at how clean her mashed potatoes were.
"Agreed. Just nice to have something good." Stan mumbled quietly to himself as he finished his meal.
"So, No TV, No video games, No mall's, No computers, What do you guys do for excitement around here?" Ben questioned Todd and Joan.
"Well, you won't believe what I saw last night." Todd began recalling his encounter with the undead Mummy.
"Now none of that. No one's interested in your tall tales." Joan bluntly interrupted Todd dismissing the encounter.
"Now let's get these dishes washed and then hit the hay," Joan remarked before she stood up and grabbed her plate.
"WHAT?! WHAT?!" All the kids shouted at once together in shock with Nibbler's voice being present.
Staring outside, Stan then told Joan, "But it's still daylight out there for crying out loud!"
"Trust me. You'll be glad you got the sleep come morning." Max informed the kids who all sighed in frustration.
Ten minutes later after dinner had concluded...
As Todd led the RV group towards the barn through a cornfield, the Sun was setting in the distance causing a peaceful sunset and the local wildlife to be active.
"Sometimes it's small moments like this that make me appreciate the life I've been given." Stan gently thought to himself before he remembered what Todd had said earlier.
Curious, Stan walked up to Todd and asked him, "Hey, could you please inform me what you were talking about earlier?"
"Nah... It's nothing. You wouldn't believe me anyway." Todd informed Stan before Ben and Gwen joined them.
"Try us. We've seen some pretty bizarre stuff this Summer." Gwen pointed out to Todd recalling everything that had happened to them.
Todd then stopped walking and told the three, (Really four), "Well... I was down in Old Man Johnson's pasture when right in front of me... bigger then life was... A Mummy! A genuine Ancient Egyptian walking undead Mummy!"
"Really?" The kids questioned Todd before they looked at each other with Nibbler then declaring, "A Mummy? How odd."
"Yeah. Trust me it sounds crazy. But it's the truth." Todd remarked back to the kids.
A few moments later inside the wooden barn...
Todd led the group inside the wooden barn to the upper floor which had a series of six bunk bed's present along with an attic fan, a light stand and an open window with a view of the property outside.
"Here it is. Home sweet home for the next week." Todd informed the RV group.
A horrific smell then caused the kid's to gag out with Gwen pointing out, "Eww... What's that foul smell?"
"Oh, this is the Chicken coop too. See you in the morning." Todd informed the RV group before he walked off.
Walking forward, Max then smelt the air and told the kids, "Ah... Isn't that great? Nothing like the smell of country air."
Frowning, Ben then clambered onto a bed before he questioned Max, "Could this get any worse?"
"Bak!" Something then cried out from Ben's pillow.
"Hey!" Nibbler complained from within Ben before he pulled the pillow off revealing a Chicken present underneath.
"Heh. Heh. Guess we won't have to worry about fresh eggs in the morning." Max jokingly remarked to Ben and Nibbler.
Ben frowned before the Chicken flew upwards zipping past Stan and Gwen.
A few hours later...
The Sun had now set outside as the evening sky was hazy and dull with the nightlife active outside.
Inside the barn, Stan was kneeled at the window and was looking at the evening sky and the stars thinking about everything he had been through.
"Hmm... Has it been a few month's since I found the Omnitrix? It sure feels more like a lifetime ago. I wonder if I'll ever end up exploring space one day... Heck, that'd be a lot of fun and a great adventure." Stan quietly thought to himself wondering what space life was like before recalling, "Huh... I did end up in space that one time on the arena ship with Kevin... Huh... Wonder if he's moved on from holding a grudge against me?"
Creak... Groan...
Hearing the barn creak slightly, and remembering what Todd said about the Mummy, Stan thought to himself, "I should see if this Mummy sighting was real. Could be something interesting..."
Looking around, Stan quietly saw Max, Ben and Gwen sleeping before he whispered, "I'd best sneakily move out here."
Stan then sneaked across the wooden floorboards and clambered downstairs to the wooden barn door.
Creak...
Opening the barn door, Stan quietly sneaked outside before he closed the door hearing the outside ambience.
Making sure the coast was clear, Stan slowly wandered across the field right near the barn door until...
"Going somewhere?" Gwen asked Stan before Ben said with Nibbler's voice at the end, "Without us?"
Turning around, Stan then noticed Gwen and Ben before he told them, "The same place you are right?"
"Mummy hunt." All three kids then replied at the same time.
The three kids then carefully walked through the cornfield pushing them aside as the wind howled loudly.
Rustle... Rustle... Howl... Rustle...
Approaching the edge of the cornfield, Stan noticed a barbed wire fence leading to the opposite property.
"Take it steady... Don't want to cut yourself on the barbed wire." Gwen advised Ben and Stan who nodded back.
Crouching on the ground, Stan, Ben and Gwen then carefully crawled underneath the barbed wire fence before they got up and saw what was on the other side.
Directly ahead of them near some old oak Trees was a medium-sized crater where the dirt ground had been ripped and torn apart.
In the centre and edge of the crater was a series of glowing purple footprints that led to the crater from the cornfield.
"This is interesting... Reminds me of the crater when I first found the Omnitrix." Stan remarked to Gwen and Ben.
"Think that's where its tomb was?" Ben questioned Gwen and Stan.
"An ancient Egyptian tomb in South Carolina? That's not possible." Gwen bluntly pointed out before she kneeled on the ground near the glowing purple footprints.
Moving on from the crater, the group kneeled near the glowing footprints before Nibbler pointed out, "Those glowing purple footprints are not from this planet. Thus it must be something from space."
"Seem's a bit radioactive," Gwen suggested as the Omnitrix then turned dark red and began beeping out a Geiger sound effect.
BEEP... Click... Click... Click...
"Warning! Biohazard detected." The Omnitrix beeped out as Stan held his right arm near the glowing purple footprints.
Moving back his right arm and looking at the Omnitrix in its Radiation mode, Stan then told Gwen and Ben, "Whatever this material is... It's not good."
The Omnitrix then went back to Active mode and flashed green again.
BEEP!
As the kids got up from the ground, they heard something snort on the hill behind them.
Turning around, the kids then spotted mutated Purple Cows that had glowing purple eyes and stripes covering their pure black bodies with sharp teeth and differing horns in each one.
"ROAR!" One of the Mutant Cows hungrily roared out as the mutated animals glared at the kids.
"Um... We know that we're a city kid, but Cows aren't supposed to look like that right?!" Ben questioned Gwen and Stan.
"No chance!" Gwen told Ben before the Mutant Cows roared and charged towards the group.
"Split up!" Stan ordered Ben and Gwen before the kids scattered from the mutant creatures.
STOMP! THUMP! THUD! Rumble...
As the Mutant Cows split up, one chased after Ben whilst the other one chased after Stan.
With Gwen on her own, she smirked and decided to take action to save the boys.
Holding out her hands, Gwen then yelled out, "Contego!"
A pair of pink Mana energy blasts were then launched from Gwen's hands before they exploded onto the Mutant Cows.
BZZZT! WHOOSH! ZAP! BLAM! BOOM!
The Mutant Cows then roared and charged towards Gwen upon being hit by the blasts of Mana energy.
STOMP! THUMP! THUD! Rumble...
Gwen then began running away only for XLR8 and Nibbler to arrive on the scene has transformed.
XLR8 grabbed Gwen before Nibbler tackled both of the Mutant Cows onto the ground with his large bulky body.
WHOOSH! ZIP! GRAB! SPLAT! CRASH! WHAM!
"RARGHH! YOU COWS ARE GOING DOWN!" Nibbler furiously roared before he began battling the Mutant Cows using his large hands and thick claws.
SLICE! SMACK! WHAM! SPLAT! SLAM!
XLR8 then placed Gwen onto the ground before he asked Gwen, "You alright?"
"Yeah, I am. I'm going to climb onto that tree and provide cover from there." Gwen explained her plan to XLR8.
Nodding back, XLR8 watched as Gwen clambered onto a nearby Oak Tree before he zipped back into the fight.
As Nibbler landed on the floor, XLR8 ran up to him before the two began talking.
"So got any ideas?" XLR8 questioned Nibbler who told him, "How about a game of dodge the Mutant Cow?"
BZZTT! WHOOSH! BLAM!
Another Mana blast then hit the Mutant Cow's before XLR8 and Nibbler nodded to each other.
The two aliens then ran towards either side of the Mutant Cow's and yelled, "Toro!" "Toro!"
The Mutant Cows ran to both aliens only for them to run back around and call out, "Ole!" "Ole!"
As the Mutant Cows ran past, XLR8 and Nibbler grabbed hold of each of their tails stunning them in response.
Studying the battle, Gwen then got an idea and yelled out, "Guys watch out, behind you!"
Turning around, XLR8 and Nibbler were then rammed by a third Mutant Cow which startled them both.
SMACK!
Both heroic aliens were then sent flying into the tree right before they landed on top of each other.
SMASH! CRASH! Creak... WHAM!
"Urgh..." Nibbler groaned before he landed on the grassy ground with XLR8 then landing on his large bulky body.
"Never mind," Gwen muttered under her breath as the heroic aliens quickly recovered and got up from the ground.
"Okay... That hurt. Now what?" XLR8 groggily complained to Nibbler who pointed out, "We don't know..."
"I've got an idea!" Ben's voice then told XLR8 and Nibbler before remarking, "XLR8 could use the barbed wire to create a fence around the Mutant Cows!"
"Good thinking Ben!" Gwen praised Ben from the tree.
Nibbler then fired out some tendril blasts from his hands which splattered onto the Mutant Cows blinding them briefly.
WHOOSH! Slither... KA-SPLAT!
With the Mutant Cows distracted, XLR8 then ran off and grabbed hold of some barbed wire from the fences before he ran around the three Mutant Cows.
WHOOSH! ZIP!
A thick cloud of dust covered the area before it disappeared revealing the tied up Mutant Cows.
Nibbler and Gwen then appeared near Stan before Nibbler shrunk back down into Ben's body.
Splat... Slither... Squelch...
"First a Mummy, now Mutant Cows? What's happening on this freaky farm?!" Gwen muttered to the others.
"Beat us. Some kind of weird mumbo jumbo." Ben spoke back shrugging to Gwen.
"Hmmm... There's only one way to find out. Follow the glowing trail." XLR8 told Ben and Gwen before he called out, "Wildmutt!"
FLASH!
A bright flash of green light enveloped XLR8 before he morphed into Wildmutt as the Omnitrix symbol blared out, "Vulpimancer DNA sample activated."
"ROAR!" Wildmutt yelled out before he charged forward following the glowing purple footprints.
"Follow that Vulpimancer!" Nibbler yelled to Gwen and Ben who began running after Wildmutt.
Running through the cornfield, Wildmutt eventually came to a stop near a large Silo and an old wooden Outhouse where he saw the Mummy using it's bandaged hands to dig a hole in the ground that was glowing a bright purple colour.
Crumble... Thunk!
"Of course... Todd was right! The question is why would an Ancient Egyptian Mummy try to get back into the ground?" Wildmutt thought to himself.
Inside the crater was three glowing purple crystals that seemed to be giving off radioactive energy that the Mummy seemed to be drawn to.
"Urghhh..." The Mummy groaned before it swiftly turned it's head around and growled, "GRR!"
Freaked out by the Mummy's glowing purple eyes, Wildmutt roared out, "ROAR!"
The Mummy then groaned and jumped upwards floating in the air as it's bandages flapped in the wind before it dived down towards Wildmutt who swiftly dodged the attack by rolling sidewards.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! WHAM!
Noticing that the Mummy was using its bandages to stretch out his body similar to Wildvine's hands, Wildmutt smirked as the Mummy slouched over before it hurled its right hand towards Wildmutt stretching out its bandages as a whip weapon.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! KA-CRASH!
The nearby wooden shed that was behind Wildmutt then collapsed in on itself sending wooden planks and debris onto the grassy ground near Wildmutt.
Getting a bright idea, Wildmutt then called out, "ROAR!" (Heatblast) And transformed in a flash of bright green light.
FLASH!
Emerging from the flash of bright green light, Heatblast cupped his hands together and unleashed a heat beam from them.
WHOOSH! BLAST!
The Mummy saw this attack coming and swiftly dodged the heat beam by morphing his body to avoid the attack.
WHOOSH! STRETCH!
"Uh, oh. I'd better keep this up." Heatblast remarked before he sprinted forward towards the Mummy and delivered a powerful sidewards punch towards the creature.
PUNCH! CRACK!
Heatblast then landed on the other side as the stunned Mummy then grabbed hold of the Pyronite's body.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB!
Trapped, the Mummy then dragged Heatblast towards him before he called out, "Ka-Boom!"
FLASH!
A bright flash of green light covered Heatblast as KaBoom emerged with a mischievous look in his eyes as the Omnitrix symbol in his right eye blared out, "Explodian DNA sample activated."
"HAHAHA! KaBoom make Mummy go boom!" KaBoom proudly declared before he exploded his body right near the shocked Mummy.
CRAKA-BOOM!
The explosion caused the Mummy to go flying into the dirt ground whilst KaBoom ended up reforming near the old Silo.
POP!
Once KaBoom's body reappeared, KaBoom chuckled before he rambled on, "That Mummy guy was blown good! HAHAHAHA!"
However, the Mummy's bandages then appeared behind KaBoom causing the Explodian to panic and reform on the Silo.
POP!
Panting in relief, KaBoom tilted his head and sighed right before the Mummy groaned, "URGH!" And punched KaBoom right off the silo.
PUNCH!
KaBoom went flying off the silo before landing on the ground with an explosion as the Mummy smirked in triumph.
WHEEE... BLAM! CRASH!
"Owwie... KaBoom is in pain..." KaBoom loudly complained as the Mummy then landed on the dirt ground with its bandages.
THUD!
The Omnitrix symbol in KaBoom's right eye then began flashing red.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"Ah not again!" KaBoom complained right before he was transformed in a flash of bright red light.
FLASH!
"Hurgh?" The Mummy groaned out staring at the flash of bright red light in confusion.
Appearing from the bright red light, Stan slowly got up from the ground as the Omnitrix beeped out, "Warning! Omni-Energy supply is low. Recharge mode activated."
Clutching his dizzy head, Stan then complained, "I've got to figure out how to make the battery for the Omnitrix last longer."
"RARGH!" The Mummy yelled out as it swung its bandages directly towards Stan.
WHOOSH! STRETCH!
Stan closed his bright blue eyes before he noticed he wasn't trapped in the bandaged wrap.
Looking around, Stan realized that the bandages were wrapped around the wooden supports before they were dragged off.
CRASH!
The wooden supports landed on the floor before the bolts holding the Silo onto the floor then collapsed and failed right before the structure groaned and toppled sidewards.
SNAP! CRACK! WHAM! Groan...
"OH CRAP!" Stan screamed in fear and shock right before Gwen and Ben tackled into him as the kids narrowly avoided being crushed by the massive structure.
CRAKA-CRASH! CRAKA-Rumble...
A massive dust and debris cloud were sent flying from the collapsed Silo covering the downed kids in rubble and dirt.
Panting, Stan slowly looked up and saw the faces of Gwen and Ben right near him.
"So does that leave us even in the rescue department?" Gwen questioned Stan who replied, "Yes it does. Thank you."
Stan and Gwen's cheeks then briefly went red before Ben coughed and asked them both, "Don't mean to interrupt but, where's the Mummy?"
Immediately, Gwen and Stan stopped blushing before they both stood up and looked around noticing the Mummy was gone with the remnants of the Wooden Shed and Silo dominating the muddy battlefield.
"I've got no idea. But that was one major monster movie fight." Stan remarked before he pointed and told Ben and Gwen, "The Mummy was digging for some kind of purple crystal at the bottom of the crater. But it's gone now..."
"I wonder what that Mummy wanted and where it came from?" Nibbler questioned the kids before Gwen suggested, "We should tell Grandpa about what we saw asap."
The kids looked over the smoking crater with dust and wooden debris on the floor wondering what the Mummy had been up too before they walked back to the Maplewood family farm.
Twenty minutes later back at the Maplewood Family Farm...
"Zzzz..." Stan snored to himself in one of the bunk bed's as Ben lazily flopped onto one above Gwen.
"Oh, man... Were beat," Ben muttered to himself whilst Gwen sighed and closed her green eyes on the bed below Ben.
However, Joan then appeared from nearby and shouted to the kids, "Rise and shine sleepyheads!"
Ben immediately woke up and fell out his bed landing on the ground whilst Stan groaned and opened up his blue eyes and muttered, "Morning already?"
"You have got to be kidding me! It's 5 Am!" Gwen angrily complained to Joan.
Ben then got up from the floor and cracked his neck as Nibbler controlled his muscles briefly before muttering, "Great... More work..."
"And those Cow's aren't gonna milk themselves," Joan informed the exhausted kids.
Yawning, Max then got up from his bed wearing his pyjamas and stretched out his back before remarking, "Ahh... Now, aren't you kids glad you went to bed early?
The kids who had red veins in their eyes glanced at each other in dread and exhaustion.
Ten minutes later inside the wooden barn...
Inside the barn, Todd showcased the RV group how to milk a Cow by using a bucket and gently pulling on the animal's large udders.
"Just squeeze and pull. Squeeze and pull." Todd informed the RV group.
"Urgh, don't they have machines for this?" Ben questioned Todd.
"Mom doesn't believe in them. Says they spook the Cows." Todd remarked back to Ben.
"Isn't there anything else we could do besides milking Cows?" Stan asked Todd feeling curious.
"Well, the manure needs to be shovelled," Todd suggested to Stan.
The kids then looked behind and saw a massive pile of rotting Cow poo with a shovel indented in along with dozens of flies hovering over the pile of Manure.
Bzzz... Hiss...
"MILKING!" All the kids said at the same time with a horrified look on their faces.
Todd then moved up from the ground and exited the barn with Max following him.
"Make sure you get this job done right kids. You need to learn the meaning of hard work." Max informed the kids before he walked out.
Splat...
Once Max walked out, Stan sighed and sat down on the floor before he muttered, "Oh good grief... This is ridiculous. How are we supposed to do this?"
"Why don't you just the Omnitrix to get the job done quicker Stan?" Ben bluntly reminded him as Nibbler's head then emerged from Ben's left arm.
Splat... Slither...
"Not just that. We could use all our powers to get the jobs done just as quick." Nibbler suggested to the kids.
Stan glanced at Gwen who then pointed out, "Grandpa told us not to use our powers to get the farm work done."
BEEP!
The Omnitrix core on Stan's right arm then rose before Stan informed Gwen, "Oh really? And I suppose you want us to milk all these Cows in several long and painstaking hours of backbreaking work?"
Looking around all the Cows, Gwen gulped before she told Ben, Nibbler and Stan, "So what are you waiting for?! Change already!"
Stan merely nodded back before he tapped down the Omnitrix core whilst Ben grew in size into Nibbler.
BEEP! Splat... Slither... FLASH! Squelch...
A few moments later...
"Oh yeah... This is working out great." Gwen muttered lying on a hay bail staring upwards at the ceiling with her green eyes closed.
THUD! THUD!
"GAH! STAY STILL YOU STUPID ANIMAL!" Nibbler roared out in rage as a Cow sprinted off with the large Symbiote being dragged across holding onto the animal's tail.
"MOO!" The Cow called outback as Nibbler and the Cow then crashed into a nearby wall.
CRASH! WHAM!
A bucket of milk was then spilt onto the floor before Four Arms called out, "Argh! This isn't as easy as it looks, plus that was almost filled up!"
Nibbler then stomped behind the hay pile carrying two Cows with his large hands right before he directly crashed into Four Arms.
CRASH! WHAM! SPLAT!
Due to all the commotion and noise, Joan then knocked on the barn door before she asked the group, "How's it going in there?"
Immediately, Gwen got up from the hay pile as Nibbler and Four Arms frowned in shock as well.
Creak...
The barn door then opened as Joan spotted Gwen milking one of the Cow's with a bucket under the animal's udder.
"Oh... Just milking away." Gwen informed Joan who walked into the barn and then stated, "Where are the boys you were travelling with?"
Nervous, Gwen placed her hands together before she told Joan, "They went to get more buckets!"
"Well, when you're done here, find Todd. He'll show you your other chores for the day." Joan informed Gwen before she walked out of the barn.
Once the barn door was closed, Gwen sighed in relief before Four Arms and Nibbler popped out of the hay bail and glanced at Gwen.
"Okay... Let's get this over with." Four Arms then informed Gwen and Nibbler.
Half an hour later after the first chore...
Near the Pig enclosure, Todd poured some bucket feed into the trough as the Pigs hungrily devoured the food.
"Just feed the Pigs this food and you'll be done. Good luck!" Todd informed the kids before he walked off.
Once Todd walked off, the kids smirked as Stan then activated the Omnitrix and transformed into Wildvine.
BEEP! FLASH!
Emerging from the flash of green light, Wildvine stretched out his hands, grabbed hold of the feed bags before he ripped them open and distributed the contents of the food to the Pigs.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB! RIP!
"And that's how you feed a dozen Pigs at once!" Ben told Wildvine who smirked and nodded back.
Ten minutes later after that chore...
Inside the Chicken coop, Todd told the kids, "You need to get the eggs from under the Chicken's nests. I'll leave you to it."
Once Todd walked off, Gwen told Ben and Stan, "I've got this."
Holding out her hands which glowed pink, Gwen closed her eyes and concentrated on the Telekinesis spell she'd been practising.
BZZZT! WHOOSH! ZAP! Rumble...
Slowly, all the chicken eggs from within the coop then floated up in pink Mana energy before they were transferred outside the Coop in a neat and stacked pile.
Gwen then reopened her eyes and examined her work before declaring, "I'm good at this Magic practice..."
Another ten minutes later...
"Okay, just make sure the horse does the crops correctly," Todd said to the kids before he walked off yet again near the edge of a field and a Horse Stable.
Looking at the Horse with the Plough attached to it, Ben told Stan and Gwen, "We've got this."
Walking forward, Nibbler overtook Ben's body before the Symbiote grew in size and grabbed hold of the plough with his hands and placed the rope around his neck.
Splat... Slither... Squelch...
Nibbler then stomped forward over the cornfields doing the ploughing that the field needed as dust and dirt went flying off the ground whilst the Symbiote then yelled, "We'll soon get these chores done!"
Twenty minutes yet again after that chore...
Todd and the kids were on the outskirts of the farm as wooden poles and dirt holes were present on the ground.
"So use this tool to dig a hole in the ground and then place the wooden stakes in it," Todd remarked to the kids before he walked off once more time.
Looking at each other, they all knew what they had to do.
BEEP! BZZTT! Splat... FLASH! Slither... ZAP! Squelch... SPARK! WHAM!
Using their sharp claws and hands, Diamondhead and Nibbler dug into the ground creating a hole before Gwen used her Telekinesis spell to place the stake in the hole.
The kids then repeated this process until all the chores were finally done for the day.
Nearly half an hour later that evening...
As Todd led the kids back to the farm, Stan then asked, "So do you and your mom have to live like this every day?"
"Nah, During planting and harvesting seasons, we don't have it so easy. But to tell you the truth, at least it keeps you busy. It's usually pretty boring around here. It's not like every day an Ancient Egyptian Mummy appears in a flash of purple lighting." Todd fully explained to the kids before he walked off.
"PURPLE LIGHTNING?!" "PURPLE LIGHTING?!" Stan, Gwen, Ben and Nibbler then exclaimed together in shock.
A few moments later...
"Purple Lighting?" Max questioned the kids as he continued to shovel a pile of smelly Manure onto the back of Joan's truck.
Bzzz... Hiss...
"Just like when we crossed paths with that alien Werewolf back in New Mexico." Ben reminded Max before Nibbler said, "And the purple lighting must be the same."
"There's no way it was just a coincidence, Grandpa." Gwen pointed out that fact to Max with Stan then declaring, "There must be a connection between the two."
Stopping his work, Max told the kids, "I'm not sure. But it can't be good. Come on, you guys can fill me whilst I get some gear from the Rust Bucket."
Twenty minutes later in the field with the Mutant Cows...
Once the group arrived near the tied-up Mutant Cows, Max who was wearing his Plumber equipment belt, held out a scanning device that detected the mutation the Cows had in his left hand.
Beep... Flick! Whirrr...
Having analysed the results of the scanner, Max held the machine down and told the kids, "Well that would explain your Mutant Cows. But we've got an even bigger problem."
"Bigger than a rampaging Mummy and Mutant Cows?" Gwen asked Max who then told her, "I'm picking up trace readings of Corrodium on them."
"What exactly is Corrodium?" Stan questioned Max wanting to learn more.
"Corrodium is a high energy mineral not naturally found on Earth. My guess is that a Meteor crashed around here a few thousand years back, scattering debris all over the area." Max fully explained to the kids.
"The Mummy is a rock collector?" Ben snarkily asked Max before Nibbler told him, "Sort of, but not quite."
"I'm afraid not you two. Corrodium is a powerful energy source that's very unpredictable. That's what must have mutated those cattle." Max informed Ben.
"So is the effect of the Corrodium mineral permanent?" Gwen then questioned Max who stated, "Not under certain conditions. The effects of Corrodium mostly wear off after a few days without any more exposure to the mineral. That's what most Plumber records say about Corrodium from the Mount Rushmore archives."
"So if that Mummy manages to find more of the Corrodium..." Stan pointed out before Max said, "Then he could turn every single living creature on the Eastern Seaboard into the same kind of monsters.
"GRARH!" The Mutant Cow then roared back in response to the group.
Max then looked down at the kids and ordered them, "Come on. Once we get in the Rust Bucket, we can track where the nearest source of Corrodium is and prevent the Mummy from getting there."
Thirty minutes later inside the Rust Bucket...
It was now a clear and bright evening as the group were in the Rust Bucket.
As Max drove the large RV towards its destination with Gwen in the front, Stan, Ben and Nibbler were talking on the side booth.
"Are you sure you don't know anything else about this Corrodium mineral?" Stan questioned Nibbler who was hanging out from Ben's left arm.
"Well, I do know the system of origin for the Mineral. It's from the Anur System." Nibbler informed Stan.
"What kind of aliens live there?" Ben questioned Nibbler who explained, "The creepiest aliens in the Galaxy live there including Ectonurites. The legends about the system claim there is an anti-matter Sun holding all the planets there together."
"Ectonurite... I think Ghostfreak's an Ecotonurite." Stan then remarked to Ben.
"Really? That's interesting." Ben pointed out to Stan.
Before Stan could say anything else, Gwen then called out, "We're here!" As the Rust Bucket came to a stop.
Screech...
Holding the scanner, Max informed the kids, "Scanner indicates that the Corrodium readings are highest over there."
Looking outside the window, the group noticed a large Industrial factory that had a large sign on the top saying, 'Digby Dairy'.
"Digby Dairy?! They make our favourite ice cream here!" Ben then pointed out that fact to the others.
"Right... Let's do this." Stan muttered under his breath ready for the mission at hand.
As the group gathered together, Max then slowly opened the side door before everyone walked out.
Creak...
Closing the door, Max then noticed a Security Guard asleep in a security booth that had an old TV blaring static out with his head facing the wall of the booth.
"Zzzz..." The tired Security Guard snored out before Max signalled the kids to follow him.
The group then walked across the empty parking lot of the factory before they opened the front door and walked inside the lobby.
A few moments later further into the factory...
The factory was quiet except for the footsteps of the group as Max led the way down a staircase with a flashlight and the scanning device he was using.
Beep... Flick! Whirrr...
Then, Max's scanning device sparked before it overloaded with electrical energy and broke.
Beep... Flick! Whirrr... ZAP! SPARK!
Overlooking a balcony, Max aimed his flashlight down before he told the kids, "I'd say there's a big chunk of Corrodium buried right here beneath the concrete."
"Were on it!" Ben yelled at Max right before Nibbler overtook him and grew in size with the thick green blobs covering Ben's body before Nibbler's head emerged.
Splat... Slither... Squelch...
Grinning, Nibbler then jumped over the balcony and landed on the ground right before Max said, "Nibbler, wait!"
THUNK!
Leaning down, Nibbler then created a hole in the ground using his sharp claws before the single Corrodium crystal was revealed.
"Found it." Nibbler boomed out to the others on the balcony as the purple light enveloped the factory causing the Omnitrix to enter Radiation Mode.
BEEP... Click... Click... Click...
"Warning! Hazardous Radiation and Biohazard Levels detected!" The Omnitrix beeped out with the Geiger sound playing with the Omnitrix now a dark red colour.
"Nice work you geniuses! You both just did the Mummy's work for him!" Gwen criticized Nibbler and Ben as she, Max and Stan walked down a flight of nearby stairs.
"Oh, crap," Nibbler muttered under his breath right before the lights in the factory began flickering on and off whilst the Omnitrix went back to Active mode and flashed bright green again.
BEEP! Flick...
"We've got company!" Max shouted out before Stan yelled, "Here comes the Mummy!"
As the lights flicked on and off, The Mummy then appeared in the back before dangling upside down before staring directly at the group as it groaned out, "Urgh..."
Flick! Flick! Flick!
Max took out a small laser pistol from his belt, whilst Gwen's hands glowed pink as Stan activated the Omnitrix core and transformed in a flash of bright green light.
BEEP! BZZTT! FLASH! ZAP! SPARK!
Emerging from the flash of bright green light, Diamondhead smirked before charged forwards and impaled the Mummy with his large diamond sword formed from his right arm.
CRACK! WHOOSH! SLICE!
The Mummy had a blank expression on its face before Diamondhead pointed out, "Now that's gotta hurt."
The Mummy responded by grabbing hold of Diamondhead's arm with his bandages before he hurled Diamondhead into a nearby Generator sending smoke and dust into the air.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB! WHOOSH! WHAM!
"Urgh..." A groggy Diamondhead groaned in pain before he stumbled upwards wondering what was going on.
Before the Mummy could turn around, Nibbler then rammed into the alien sidewards yelling out, "WE DON'T THINK SO!"
WHOOSH! SLAM! CRACK!
Using its stretchy body, the Mummy then wrapped it's body around Nibbler's neck before it cut off his air supply.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! CHOKE!
Struggling to breathe, Nibbler's eyes then went blank before he fell to the ground near Gwen and Max beaten and groaned out, "Urgh..."
KA-THUD!
With the heavy hitters briefly out of action, The Mummy then opened up its chest revealing the Corrodium crystals it was storing before it used its bandages to grab the crystal and place it in its chest.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB!
As Max and Gwen helped Nibbler get back onto his feet, Max told everyone, "He's got the Corrodium!"
The Mummy then chuckled and raised its hands before it roared, "RURGHH!"
Unbeknownst to the Mummy, however, Diamondhead then called out, "Blitzwolfer!"
And transformed in a flash of bright green light before the Loboan stood forward with a determined look on its face.
FLASH!
"ARRRRROOOOOOO!" Blitzwolfer then loudly howled out, getting the attention of the Mummy.
The Mummy then turned around and gained a shocked look on its face before groaning out, "Urgh?!"
"You want a fight?! Then take me on you decaying pile of bandages!" Blitzwolfer growled out back before he opened up his mouth and fired a large green sonic blast.
HOWL! WHOOSH! BLAST!
The massive sonic howl was launched towards the Mummy causing it to jump over and climb on the pipes above Blitzwolfer before it dived down upon the ground nearby.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! SLAM! THUNK!
The Mummy then stretched out its bandages towards Blitzwolfer who sprinted on all fours and dodged the attacks before he grabbed hold one of the Mummy's bandages with his sharp teeth.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! CRUNCH!
Blitzwolfer then dragged the Mummy towards him before he kicked the undead alien with his legs sending it flying into a wall.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! KICK! BLAM!
Shaking its head, the Mummy then spotted Blitzwolfer ram him directly through the wall sending dust and debris onto the floor as the two ended up in the Freezer area of the factory.
WHOOSH! CRASH! WHAM!
Panting in exhaustion, Blitzwolfer then stood upright as Gwen, Max and Ben joined the Loboan.
"How can we beat this Mummy when it constantly regenerates and heals its body?!" Blitzwolfer questioned everyone.
"No idea, but Nibbler's regaining his strength right now," Ben replied to him as the Mummy then shambled out from the dust.
"Urgh..." The Mummy groaned before it reopened its chest revealing the glowing purple Corrodium crystals it was storing.
As the group were blinded by the bright purple light, Max warned them, "He's trying to expose us to the Corrodium!"
The Mummy shambled towards the group right before a door on the balcony opened where the Security Guard from earlier overlooked the fight.
"What's going on here?!" The Security Guard shouted out to everyone.
"No, get back!" Gwen yelled at the Security Guard in shock who was then engulfed by the Mummy's bandages.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB!
"GAH!" The Security Guard yelled out as the Corrodium crystals began mutating him and changing his DNA.
The group watched on in shock as the Security Guard's features changed starting with his face and the rest of his body as he cried out in a horrific scream, "ARRGHH! OH GOD, IT HURTS SO MUCH! ARGHH!"
SNAP! POP! CRACK!
Shortly, the guard's jaw snapped and grew bigger whilst his eyes glowed a bright purple colour with his skin turning a pitch black with purple glowing lines with his hands and legs becoming matching sharp weapons.
Satisfied at its work, the Mummy then placed the Mutated Human back on the ground before it turned around and hissed ferally at the group, "RARGHH!"
"Oh, that is not going to be pleasant for us," Nibbler informed Ben before Max placed a red disk on his chest along with Gwen's before himself.
Then the material made of nanomachines covered the kids and Max suiting them up with a suit that was beige along with a blue visor to see properly from their eyes.
"Woah! What is this stuff, Grandpa?!" Ben questioned Max in shock.
"Level Ten Hazmat Suits. They used adaptive nanotechnology to figure out the size of the user and protect them from mutations of any kind. I don't think your parents would appreciate me bringing you all home mutated." Max explained to Ben, Gwen and Nibbler.
"Hey, what about me?!" Blitzwolfer shouted at Max.
"As long as you stay in one alien form without changing at all, you should be safe from the mutation effects." Max informed Blitzwolfer who then remarked, "Great... Guess I'm stuck as Blitzwolfer then again."
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB!
Blitzwolfer's fanged face was then dragged back by a bandage.
"MPHH!" Blitzwolfer shouted out before the Mummy used his bandages to slam the heroic Loboan into the ground.
SLAM! WHACK!
The Mummy then gestured to the Mutant Human to attack the others with his right hand.
Nodding back, the Mutant Human then dropped on all fours and charged towards the Tennyson trio.
"Come on!" Max yelled out before him and the kids managed to narrowly avoid being sliced in half by the Mutant Human's swords.
SLICE! CRACK!
Running back into the storage area, Ben and Max stood back before Gwen muttered, "Here goes nothing..."
Holding out her hands which glowed pink inside her suit, Gwen then called out, "Emochia Objectia!"
BZZZT! WHOOSH! ZAP! Rumble...
The Hazmat Suit that Gwen was wearing then inflated and grew in size like a balloon.
"ARGH!" A shocked Gwen shouted before she began bouncing around the room like a bowling ball and knocking things onto the ground.
WHOOSH! BOING! CRASH! WHOOSH! BOING! CLANG!
The Mutant Human then attacked Max as Ben tried to and fire out a pair of Symbiote tendrils from his hands.
Due to his suit, however, the tendrils were unable to come out and were splattered on the insides of his suit.
SPLAT! SLITHER! SPLAT!
"URGH! GROSS!" Ben groaned under his breath at how sticky the tendrils were as Nibbler then said, "Sorry."
As the kids were struggling to use their powers, Max continued to dodge the Mutant Human.
WHOOSH! SLICE! CLANG! CRASH!
Gwen's inflated Hazmat Suit then slammed into the Mutant Human sending it crashing onto the ground.
WHOOSH! SLAM! KA-CRASH!
Gwen's Hazmat Suit then deflated before Gwen landed on the floor and groaned in pain.
THUNK!
"Urgh... Okay... Mental note, Never try to perform a spell inside a Hazmat Suit." Gwen groaned out before Ben muttered, "Same here!"
Max then grabbed hold of Ben and Gwen from the ground and told them, "Come on!"
The Tennyson trio then ran for their lives from the Mutant Human which continued chasing them though the industrial factory.
During one point with the chase, the Mutant Human narrowly swiped at the Tennyson trio causing them to split up.
Annoyed, Max then grabbed hold of a nearby pipe from the wall before breaking it and using it as a weapon.
"Alright now... I don't want to hurt you!" Max warned the Mutant Human.
"GRARGH!" The Mutant Human roared back before it sliced Max's pipe in half.
WHOOSH! SLICE! CLANG!
"So much for that idea!" Max yelled out before he stepped back and used the metal pipe pieces to fight off the Mutant Human's blades.
WHOOSH! SLICE! CLASH! WOOSH! SLICE! CLONG!
Max then hurled the pipes towards the Mutant Human who simply sliced them in half again.
WHOOSH! SLICE! CLANG! WHOOSH! SLICE! CLANG!
Max was then knocked back before he ended up being flung over the balcony.
"ARGH! DAMN IT!" A shocked Max yelled out before he landed on the ground below.
The Mutant Human then turned it's attention to Gwen and Ben who then ran for their lives.
"What's the plan?!" Ben yelled at Gwen who shouted out, "Get on that conveyor belt!"
The two kids then landed on the conveyor belt and began crawling forward as the Mutant Human sliced the structure trying to impale Ben and Gwen.
"ARGH!" Ben then yelled out narrowly missing being sliced before Nibbler told him, "You're not going to die!"
The two kids then reached the end of the conveyor belt and slid down before they landed on the floor.
However, Max then called out, "Hands of my grandkids you mutant freak!"
Confused, the Mutant Human then turned around and saw Max riding on a crane hook that slammed the Mutant Human into the conveyor belt.
WHOOSH! SWING! CRASH! WHAM!
As Max landed on the ground, he then quoted, "Let's wrap this up!"
Knowing what Max had planned, Ben and Gwen ran forward and pressed opposing buttons on the conveyor belt together.
Flick! Whirr... Groan...
The conveyor belt was then activated before the Mutant Human was dragged in and wrapped in cardboard on the other side once it came out.
"Grrr..." The exhausted Mutant Human growled out before Gwen declared, "Glad that's over."
CRAKA-BOOM!
A large explosion behind them gained their attention as Blitzwolfer dodged a punch before he slashed the Mummy with his clawed hand.
PUNCH! SLASH!
After punching the Mummy, Blitzwolfer's mouth then opened up as a large green sonic blast was fired out from it.
HOWL! WHOOSH! BLAST!
The Mummy was then pushed back briefly before it closed its chest right before Blitzwolfer's Omnitrix symbol on his chest then began beeping red.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"Not now!" Blitzwolfer shouted out before he changed back to Stan in a flash of bright red light.
FLASH!
Now back to normal, Stan's head felt dizzy as the Mummy's eyes widened in shock briefly.
Adjusting his dark brown glasses, Stan's bright blue eyes widened as the Omnitrix then blared out from his right arm, "Warning! Omni-Energy supply is low. Recharge Mode activated."
Stan then turned around and ran for his life as the Mummy groaned out, "Urgh!" And began chasing after him.
Stan then managed to hide behind an industrial machine and watched as the Mummy sprinted past.
"Phew... That was close." Stan muttered under his breath before he felt a hand touch his back.
"ARGH! DON'T HURT ME!" Stan screamed out only for Max to be present as he placed a red disk on Stan's chest.
Then the material made of nanomachines covered Stan's body with the beige suit and the blue visor for his eyes.
"Cool. It kinda suits me." Stan happily remarked back to Max right before...
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB!
The Mummy then grabbed Max with its bandages before he was hurled aside.
SMACK! THUD!
"GRUH!" The Mummy groaned out as it began chasing after Stan again.
Panicking, Stan then turned around and ran for his life through the industrial chambers of the factory, thinking, "Just run! Don't let that Mummy get you!"
Turning around a corner, Stan looked behind him and noticed the Mummy continue to chase after him.
Before Stan could say anything, He then heard Ben call out with Nibbler's voice, "Stan, slop the hogs!"
Coming to a halt, Stan noticed a container of a liquid Strawberry mixture and decided to knock it over with his bare hands.
"Thanks, you two!" Stan yelled out before he tipped the container onto the floor sending the Strawberry mixture towards the Mummy.
THUNK! SPLAT!
"Guh!" The Mummy shouted as it tumbled over the mixture before it crashed into a pair of refrigerators.
SLIP! CRASH!
"Huh... Guess Uncle Max was right. This farm work stuff pays off." Stan muttered under his breath.
Stan then turned around and noticed Gwen near a control panel as it she interacted with it.
Flick... Beep!
"Come on... This has got to do something... And there!" Gwen shouted out to Stan.
As The Mummy recovered, Ben and Stan grabbed hold of a nearby hose.
"Eat Marshmallow Mummy!" Ben yelled out before Nibbler declared, "Hasta La Vista baby."
Stan then flicked the trigger on the hose and confidently smirked.
Flick! v
A massive amount of Marshmallow liquid then blasted the Mummy causing it to land in a processing machine.
WHOOSH! BLAST! SLAM!
"Grugh..." The dazed Mummy groaned out before it looked up and noticed Gwen standing near a lever.
"Or maybe you'd prefer Peanuts?" Gwen snarkily taunted the Mummy before she flicked the lever.
Flick!
A massive amount of Peanuts were then dumped on the Mummy causing it to be crushed down by the food.
WHAM!
Struggling to clamber up, the Mummy was then shredded into pieces by a large metallic fan.
"YEAH!" All the kids said at the same time as they watched the Mummy's downfall.
"GRAHHH!" The Mummy howled in pain as it was shredded into rubble with the bandages flying up as debris.
WHOOSH! SLICE! BLAM! BOOM! Rumble...
With the Mummy seemingly beaten, Stan sighed and muttered, "Well at least it's over."
The kids then turned around and walked back to Max...
Right before a bandage grabbed hold of Stan's left leg dragging him onto the ground.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB! THUNK!
"ARGH! WHY ME?!" Stan shouted out in shock and fear as everyone else yelled out, "Stan!"
As the bandages pinned Stan to the ground preventing him from escaping, the Mummy slowly reformed its body and grabbed hold of Stan with its arms.
Feeling the bright purple light blind his blue eyes, Stan tried to escape, but the Mummy restrained him.
"UNCLE MAX! HELP ME! PLEASE!" Stan shouted out in fear and sadness as tears began leaking out of his bright blue eyes feeling overwhelmed by the situation.
RIP!
The Mummy then began ripping the Hazmat Suit off Stan exposing his skin to the glowing Corrodium crystals.
"ARGH! IT HURTS!" Stan screamed out as he felt the Corrodium beginning to harm his body.
"His suit is ripping! He'll be exposed to the Corrodium!" A shocked Gwen loudly yelled out as the group watched on in fear.
"No! This isn't how he's meant to go out!" Ben loudly protested to the group as Nibbler then declared, "What can we do?!"
Dangling up Stan in the air, the Mummy then wrapped its bandages around the red recharging Omnitrix.
Then the Omnitrix glowed bright yellow underneath the bandages.
BEEP! ZAP! SPARK!
As the Omnitrix core popped up, the yellow dial then flashed through all of Stan's eighteen alien silhouettes in random order.
"Warning! Unknown DNA Sample detected. Scan Mode activated." The Omnitrix beeped out from Stan's right arm alerting the others as to what was happening.
"The Omnitrix... It's sampling the Mummy's alien DNA!" Max then blurted out in shock causing everyone to smile knowing that Stan could win.
"Just like what happened with the alien Werewolf!" Nibbler then also pointed out to everyone.
BEEP!
The Omnitrix silhouette then changed to a carbon copy of the Mummy as Stan's blue eyes widened in shock and joy causing him to think, "No way! Another new alien?!"
"Stan, go alien before you begin to mutate, it's your only hope!" Max reminded Stan.
Nodding back, Stan then gritted his teeth and told the Mummy, "Got it! Time to fight Mummy with Mummy!"
Stan then gently taped down the yellow core and was engulfed in a flash of bright yellow light as his new transformation began.
FLASH!
As the Omnitrix sank into his right arm, bandages slowly covered Stan's right arm and slowly moved up the rest of his body with his DNA changing.
Feeling his body go numb and his thoughts becoming dead and ancient, Stan closed his bright blue eyes as bandages covered his face and remaining Human body.
As Stan's body turned around, he gained a series of black bracers and greaves which had brown lines running across them.
Then Stan grew in size before he gained to Diamondhead's height before his head gained a gold and brown headdress identical to what the Mummy wore.
Finally, the Omnitrix symbol appeared on his right shoulder before the gaps in his bandages glowed green before the alien turned around revealing a pair of bright blue eyes under the headdress he wore.
Now transformed, the Mummy alien stretched out his bandages which floated around him as the transformation came to an end.
Stan had become a Thep Khufan known as Snare-Oh.
FLASH!
As the flash of bright yellow light faded away, the shocked Mummy saw a near-identical counterpart appearing where Stan once was in his hands as the Omnitrix symbol on Snare-Oh's right shoulder then beeped out, "Thep Khufan DNA sample now acquired and activated."
As Snare-Oh's bandaged blue eyes gazed back at the Mummy's purple ones, Snare-Oh then said in a booming and Ancient Egyptian style voice, "Hello there... Oh, it's like staring into a mirror."
The shocked Mummy then groaned out, "Urgh... Gurgh... Hurgh..." to Snare-Oh who then said, "Yeah, I don't plan on letting you win."
Remembering how the Mummy fought, Snare-Oh then punched the stunned Mummy's face before he rolled down onto the floor, stood upright and faced the Tennyson trio.
PUNCH! CRACK!
"Wow... He looks identical to the Mummy." Gwen noted before Max suggested, "Make sense that's Stan's a carbon copy like him."
"Kick his ass, Stan!" Ben then cheered Snare-Oh who smirked back and told Ben, "Thanks you two. And by the way, Call me Snare-Oh."
Snare-Oh then faced down the Mummy ready to end the war once and all for all before he stated, "Come on... Let's see who the better alien Mummy is!"
"GRURGH!" The Mummy roared back before it charges directly towards Snare-Oh who quickly used his bandages to grab hold of the Mummy's arms and hold him in place.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB!
The Mummy attempted to break free, but Snare-Oh instead caused the Mummy's hands to hit it's face numerous times.
SLAP! PUNCH! SMACK!
"What's the matter? Can't stop hitting yourself?" Snare-Oh cockily questioned the Mummy enjoying himself in the fight.
Furious, the Mummy then broke free from Snare-Oh's arms and wrapped his bandages around Snare-Oh's arms and sent him sprawling into a tank of Liquid Nitrogen.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB! WHAM!
"Ooof!" Snare-Oh grunted out in pain before he slowly recovered up and put his bandages back around his body.
"Be careful Stan! That container has Liquid Nitrogen. It'll freeze you solid in seconds!" Max warned the heroic Thep Khufan.
Blue bandaged eyes widening in shock, Snare-Oh chuckled and then told Max, "Eureka! Of course... Thanks, Uncle Max!"
Facing down the Mummy who slowly shuffled over to Snare-Oh, Snare-Oh grabbed hold of the tank with his bandages and aimed the lid of frozen methane directly at the Mummy.
WHOOSH! STRETCH! GRAB! HISS...
"Just getting fired up! Before you cool way down permanently!" Snare-Oh informed the Mummy before he opened up the tank and fired it directly towards the Mummy.
HISS! WHOOSH! FREEZE! Crack...
The Mummy attempted to stretch out its bandages to get rid of Snare-Oh, but it was far too late as the Mummy slowly froze up and became a frozen popsicle.
"Anyone order an extra-large order of Mummy ripple?" Snare-Oh jokingly remarked as he placed the Liquid Nitrogen container on the ground.
Thunk!
"Nice work as always Stan," Max informed Snare-Oh who crossed his arms and stood next to his frozen evil counterpart.
"Thank you. But I couldn't have gotten the job done without you guys." Snare-Oh informed Max truthfully.
"So what number is present for this alien?" Nibbler questioned Snare-Oh.
Thinking briefly, Snare-Oh then told the group, "Snare-Oh is my nineteenth alien and my third horror themed one along with Blitzwolfer and Ghostfreak."
"Don't mean to interrupt, but we need to bury the Mummy and the Corrodium back underground." Gwen then informed the group who all nodded back in agreement.
Ten minutes later after the Mummy and the Corrodium were buried underground...
Pouring some concreate onto the hole via a Cement Mixer, Snare-Oh then stepped back and admired his handiwork as Max scarped the Cemented ground with a Sweeping Brush.
"Nice job everyone. By the time that the day shift begins, the Concreate will be hard and no-one will ever know that a Mummycicle was buried under there." Max jokingly and truthfully told the group.
Before Snare-Oh could reply, the Omnitrix symbol on his right shoulder then began beeping red.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
"Time to go already? That sucks. I was just getting started." Snare-Oh muttered under his breath before he was engulfed in a flash of bright red light.
FLASH!
As the bright red light faded away, a woozy Stan then shook his head and flapped his hands briefly thinking that bandages were still there as the Omnitrix beeped out, "Warning! Omni-Energy supply is low. Recharge Mode activated."
"Phew... Nineteen aliens now. Guess I'm on my way up." Stan muttered under his breath before he looked at the others.
"Wait, what about the Security Guard who was mutated? What do we do about him?" Ben then questioned Max.
"As I said earlier, Brief exposure to Corrodium only lasts for a short amount of time. We'll just place him back in the booth and he'll turn back to normal." Max informed Ben.
"You think of everything don't you, Grandpa?" Gwen questioned Max who pointed out, "One of the many perks of being a Plumber. Now let's get back to the Rust Bucket."
A few moments later once they exited the factory...
The group passed by the Security booth as the Security Guard then woke up in his cold clothing and muttered, "What the?! Why am I in my boxers?!"
The Security Guard was so distracted that he didn't notice the RV group walk back with Max reminding the kids, "Guess we'd better get back to the farm. I'm sure Joan has more chores for us to do."
The three kids stopped walking and glanced at each other in horror before Ben stated, "Yeah about that Grandpa..."
Max turned around and looked at the kids as Ben continued, "Stan, Gwen and us just want to say..."
"Don't make us go back there please!" The three kids said at the same time before they hugged Max together and remarked, "We've learned our lesson! We'll do our chores from now on, we promise!"
Smiling Max then said to the kids, "Oh thank goodness. I'd forgotten how much I hated working on Uncle Jeddieah's farm when I was a kid."
The kids then all glanced at each other before Stan told Max, "Well we've all learnt the important lesson of hard work and not to screw around."
Chuckling Nibbler then remarked to everyone, "That's good and all. But we can we please get going before we have to move animal crap again?"
"Good point, Nibbler," Max muttered back to young Symbiote as walked back towards the Rust Bucket ready for the next adventure they would have.
Author's Note: So there we go, another chapter complete.
Now for the notes.
Feedback isn't off the roster entirely, he might be added later on during Part 4 or even beyond that, I haven't decided yet.
As for Alien Force? Yes, that will happen since I have ideas going forward for that.
I also have ideas for a prequel story about Stan's origins as well that I wouldn't mind writting.
So either way, the future for Stan 10 is bright long-term.
As for the next chapter?
It's going to involve Upgrade as the main focus and the chapter will be an original one! :)
