After the whole incident in the desert and some repairs to the Rust Bucket's wheels with the assistance of Pummel lifting it up just to replace the wheels, the RV and its inhabitants finally went on their way to their next destination. Whenever it may be, since only one of them knew.
Gwen was on her computer simply checking out blogs, Alex was listening to some sort of album while reading a comic and Ben was... "I'd warn you that your face might freeze like that but in your case, it would be an improvement.", Gwen chastised Ben as he was making faces at a ginger kid in the car right next to them, who seemed to be doing the same thing.
Ben pulled back and gagged as the kid had quickly chewed up a burger and stuck his tongue out to show the moist remnants of a burger. "Oh man! The sea food special, time to pull out the secret weapon.", the green eyed brunette sat back down and tapped the older brunettes shoulder. "Check it out."
Alex looked up from his comic book and soon after his face twisted in disgust as he saw the red head still sticking his tongue out while adding more food to the disgusting mass. "That's just fucking gross."
"Well, turn into BugBreath or something.", Ben urged the older boy, trying to activate the Omnitrix himself only for the much taller boy to just get out of his seat and raise his hand.
"I'm not gonna use the Omnitrix just cuz some gross little freak used the seafood special.", Alex stated with an annoyed look on his face.
Gwen looked up from her computer and at the two brunettes bickering. "It's weird how Alex will indulge you in your dumb little pranks and then just do this."
"Yeah because I don't really care that much about scaring a random ass kid.", Alex said before going through the fridge. Ben just frowned, but he smiled once more as Alex was launched to the side as Max abruptly stopped the Rust Bucket.
"Alex get up here!", Alex yawned before approaching the front of the RV. "We got trouble up ahead."
The two kids and teenager quickly checked up what was ahead. An propane was flipped onto its side as it had crashed into a truck, the oil spilling out and onto the road as a fire had started near the propane. "HELP!", the driver of the truck pleaded as he attempted to escape his incoming demise but couldn't.
"The doors stuck! He can't get out!", yelled out a distress civilian as he exited his car. The fire seemed to inch closer by the second.
"If that propane he's hauling catches fire, that truck will become a rocket to the moon.", Max stated with heavy emphasis on how urgent it is that he goes right then and now.
"Yeah I got it.", Alex activated the Omnitrix and dialed towards Sunburn's icon, but he quickly changed his mind as he scrolled through and stopped at BugBreath.
A green flash erupted from the Rust Bucket as the putrid mega insect flew into the air with his four eye stalks looking at the fire. "Hope Max is right.", he crossed his fingers as he fired out streams of thick, green mucus at the fire. Thankfully, the fire quickly got put out as he made sure to cover the fire in his mucus.
The driver of the truck looked confused at the green sludge before a red, orange and brown stinger sliced through the metal roof. He let out a scream of terror as he saw the gigantic bug with an incredibly foul stench before being hoisted up and flew out, dropping him onto the asphalt. "Maybe TopGear would've been better."
The man had fainted by the time he hit the asphalt, to which two of his eye stalks before just flying away to time out in peace considering how much time he had left.
After a bit of a detour in trying to pick up Alex, Max had finally made it to the exact road he was making his way to before hand. As they passed, Ben and Gwen noticed signs. "You'll have a ball with IT...", Gwen says with a cocked eyebrow.
"C'mon, grandpa. At least give us a hint of what IT is.", Ben says as Alex was in the back snacking on... whatever the strangely shaped piece of meat was, completely busy with what he was doing.
Max let out a soft chuckle. "No hints. I've been planning this stop all year, and since Alex is here, it's gonna be a treat for him to.", he says with an obvious hint of excitement in his voice as he kept driving.
After another few minutes of driving on an empty road, Max smiled as he stopped the RV. He exited the drivers side of the RV and walked around to the door on the other side. "Now, you three close your eyes.", the three did as told as they exited the Rust Bucket. "Okay, open em up!"
The moment they opened their eyes, they were met with a giant sign. "Ta-Da! Welcome to Sparksville!", Max declared as the three had very different reactions. Ben and Gwen were confused, Alex was just curious.
They entered the quiet town of Sparksville and it was... well mundane, besides multiple giant objects such as a hotdog with a giant bottle of ketchup, a large jackalope next to an equally large chicken... and then a giant glass bowl, and a regular gift shop. "Isn't this place great or what?", Max says with a wide smile on his face.
Ben looked around. "Or what?", he says as Alex scoffed.
"Maybe I'm boring but this place is pretty interesting.", Alex says much to Max's delight.
"At least Alex likes it. I mean c'mon, who wouldn't want to see the worlds biggest fishbowl?", Max says gesturing to the comically large fishbowl.
"The worlds biggest fish in the fishbowl, grandpa.", Gwen says as Alex was just looking at the bowl.
"Yeah I mean he's right, like, how the fuck do you even make this thing? Like was this hand sculpted by fusing a buncha glass, but then where did all the glass come from in the first place? Or was there just a machine designed to build this?", Alex says as Max was even more delighted he was so infatuated by the big bowl. "Im checking that out later."
"As the Mayor of Sparksville, I welcome you oh seekers of wonder.", a voice that was devoid of any emotion laced with a Southern accent as a white pale man with brown hair and peach fuzz on his chin. He wears a grey blue suit and pants with a white dress shirt and a white belt with string bow tie walked up to them.
After a brief few seconds of silence, Max fished out three tickets from his pocket and handed one to each of them. "I know you three are probably excited to see IT, so I'll go check us in."
With a shrug, the trio collectively decided their first exhibit to visit would be the jackalope. Ben rings a bell and after a two second delay, the mayor comes out from the back. "Tickets please.", he says in the same dead tone, now wearing a gray cap with the American flag imprinted on it.
"I thought you were the mayor?", leave it to Ben to ask a valid question as they handed them his tickets.
"Those who don the crown are burdened by many hats, son. That and being understaffed.", the Mayor says as he tore the top half of the tickets and handed it back to them. "Mind the signs.", he says with... urgency? This didn't bother the three as they just passed by.
Inside, they take pictures of everything, making funny faces as they capture the moments. They take pictures of several different places, including the front of the jackalope building, an "American Gothic" painting cutout, a planetarium in which an employee is replacing the "sunlight" bulb, a giant house of cards, a giant hot dog, Ben getting sprayed with ketchup and mustard, Gwen getting a hot-dog tossed at her as Alex was busy downing multiple hotdogs for some reason, Ben wearing jackalope horns and Gwen wearing googly-eye glasses, the world's largest fishbowl as forced on by Alex, then to them sitting on a bench bored and an "IT is this way" sign was near by.
They finally relented and decided to go see IT, where the Mayor met them there. IT in question was hidden inside a wooden barn. "Through these doors lie the weirdest, wildest thing to ever grace Sparksville.", he says blankly as he opened the door for them.
"Please let this be IT I can't stand it anymore!", Ben says as he was eager to find out why IT was so fascinating. As they walked through the pitch black of the barn several warning sides popped up with all of them referring to not touching it or using any electrical equipment.
The lights finally turned on as they can now see around them, a giant sign hung in front of them saying This is IT before being heaved up into the ceiling. IT... was just a giant ball of rubber bands. "Seriously... this is it?", Ben deadpans.
Gwen had a similar expression to Ben. "It's a big ball of rubber bands."
"And who knows what secrets lie within.", The Mayor says appearing out of nowhere, startling Alex.
"We gotta put a bell in you.", Alex turns to him slightly annoyed.
The Mayor wasn't at all phased by this. "Stay as long as you like, mind the signs.", was all he had to say before turning and leaving the barn.
The moment he was out of earshot, Ben finally listed his complaints. "Look at this place! These guys are full of IT, we've been punked!", the frustration and disappoint in Ben's voice was very evident.
"It is pretty lame, I can't believe this was what Grandpa was so excited about.", Gwen says as with a thought, they turned to Alex.
"What?", Alex tilts his head as they waited for him to say something about the rubber band ball. "Okay... my question is how do you even make this thing, again. Like the rubber bands are gonna get so wide they just snap, how do you even get a rubber band that wraps around a ball as big as that and with every single rubber band being the same color."
"You are... so weird.", was all Ben had to say about Alex's weird fascination with this ball of rubber bands. Gwen was just amused that someone older than them was so fascinated.
"Oh shut up you little runt, though I guess it would've been funnier if it was Max.", Alex states
"What're you doing?", Gwen asked as a green flash erupted from behind the ball of rubber bands with was followed by Pummel effortlessly lifting it up.
"Lifting up the waste of time known as IT.", Pummel grins with his large snaggletooth sticking out.
"YEAAH!", Ben threw his arms up in the air.
A mischievous grin formed on Gwen's face. "Y'know, I agree with you two. Got something special in mind?"
"I dunno, maybe go bring this to the NBA and see if Lebron James could score with it?", Muscle Bound says as he casually spun the ball of rubber bands on his finger, which prompted a laugh to come out of the two ten year olds. He then decided to start throwing it back and forth between his arms in attempt to juggle it.
"Careful dweeb you'll drop it!", Gwen snapped at him, which Ben just lightly flicks her shoulder.
"Ah c'mon! It's Four Arms, he can probably lift it with three hands tied behind his back.", Ben says as Pummel groaned at this.
"I told you, I'm not changing it to Four Arms.", Alex could at least get it, but the name was a bit too on the nose for him. Regardless, Alex lifted the ball of rubber bands with one hand, but he it quickly ended with him losing balance and dropping it. Gwen and Ben quickly jump out of the way as the ball bounces off the floor and through the roof. "Damn. My bad."
The ball continues to bounce after it left the barn, it knocks over several exhibits and crushes a food cart, and Pummel was able to slow the ball down, though it knocked over the house of cards before it stopped completely. Gwen, very obviously mad, slapped his shoulder and then slapped Ben on the back of the head.
"Ow! What was that for!", the 15 foot tall behemoth and the shorter boy snapped their heads at her.
"For turning me into a criminal!", Gwen says as her brow was furrowed.
"I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!"
"YOU LITERALLY ENCOURAGED IT!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TO!"
Pummel rolled his eyes as he stood up. "Can you two pipe down for a second? Look, it's very impossible they'd blame a few kids for causing the ball to come flying out of a roof. The cards on the other hand... and said roof, and wall, and hotdog cart-"
Gwen took her shoe off and threatened to smack him with it. "Get to the point."
Alex just shrugged that off as she couldn't really do anything to hurt him as Pummel just shrugged as he gestured to some of the damage. "It's gonna be alright, I can just put everything back the way it was. Easy peasy-"
BEW BEW BEW BEW BEW BEW
The red flash following the beeping, Alex just looked at his Omnitrix. He looked right back to them before shrugging again. "In the next few minutes."
"What're we going to tell grandpa?", said the very anxious Gwen as she was actually shaking thinking about what would happen.
Ben just rolled his eyes at this. "Just play dumb, it's easy.", he says casually.
"Easy for you at least, you two are better at it than I am. No offense, Alex.", Gwen looks over as Alex had a look of mock hurt.
"meh, I get that a lot.", Alex states with a very nonchalant shrug.
They made it to the sideways motel, and if it weren't obvious, everything was sideways. From the beds to the door itself, all sideways. "This just flat out can't be safe.", Alex thinks to himself just looking at the room.
"Hey there ya are, ain't this place a riot?", Max asks oblivious of what happened to IT.
"Why, what did you see?! We don't know-", Alex pulls Gwen back before she made it too obvious.
"She means it's great, grandpa! Can't wait to check out the bathroom.", Ben says with a smile to hide his nervousness, Alex however was still as casual as ever.
Back where the rubber band ball was left, the red electrical discharge had begun to spread across the surface. However, it slowly began to shift in color and became a bright yellow. A bolt of yellow electricity traveled from the rubber band ball and starts circling power lines and exhibits before rocketing out violently and through the Sparksville welcoming sign.
The yellow bolt of electricity slowly began to expand and take more of a solid shape. It took the form of a black athropromorphic battery-like creature with a yellow mark on its chest resembling a lightening bolt, with a plus and minus symbol on its back. It had an empty head with yellow energy streaming out of that head along with its bright yellow eyes.
It's eyes twitched, a deranged smile formed on its face to show off the jagged teeth it had in its mouth. "Kehe...hehehehe.", it began to chuckle before blowing up into a full hysterical laughing fit before zipping off as yellow electricity.
The night had went as fast as it had came, the sun was beginning to rise on a new day as Ben and Gwen were sleeping in their own beds, using the sheets as hammocks, Alex on the other hand just sleeping on the floor, or technically the wall.
"What the heck happened here?", Max's sudden remark jolted them out of bed, which resulted them literally falling out.
"He knows everything, we're so busted!", Gwen was already wide awake by his remark alone. "We have to come clean and tell grandpa everything!"
Ben just rolled his eyes at this. "Sometimes it's hard to believe you and I are the same age, never tell the truth unless you absolutely have to, got it?", Ben tells his cousin as he stood up, he looked at Alex who was still sleeping as a rock, Ben pulled his shoe and slapped him with it.
"I'M UP!", Alex jolted up, his messy hair already more wild than before.
"Benjamin! Gwendolyn! Alexander!", Max's stern voice drew their attention away from Alex's heavy sleeping habit.
"Gwendolyn?", Gwen shivered since she was only called by her full name whenever she was in trouble, which was rare. "We're so doomed."
The three climbed their way out of the sideways motel room. "Woah!", Ben exclaimed their collective thoughts. The town was completely trashed, far more than whatever Pummel had done yesterday. "What happened?", Ben looked around as Gwen seemingly began to calm down.
"Beats me, looks like a tornado hit the town overnight.", Max says as he looked at the path of destruction.
"Looks like someone gave a bull steroids and blasted some Hollaback girl just to piss it off.", Alex joked, to which earned him some confused stares. "What? I dont like Hollaback girl."
"I think it's pretty clear who is responsible for these juvenile acts.", the unmistakable flat voice of the Mayor says as he walked over to them.
"Juvenile acts? If I didn't know better then-"
"I'm not talking about these here youngsters.", the Mayor says as he already knew who Max would blame in this, despite the sheer destruction.
"You're not?!", both Max and the two little kids called out in surprise, the elderly man looked at them briefly. "Yeah, well, if they didn't do it who did?", a stream of yellow electricity passed by him.
The battery-like creature seemingly teleported from Ben's leg, to the back of Gwen's arm, to just on Alex's head saluting something. It vanished again before appearing in front of Alex, shooting his foot with a bolt electricity. "OW! You little-!", Alex jumped back and attempted to swat it away, the creature just dodged and laughed before bolting off.
"What was that?", yet another valid question asked by Ben.
"Megawhatt.", the Mayor remarks matter-of factly.
"Mega-what?"
"Exactly." the ever so uninterested mayor says. "Normally wrapped up inside of IT, that is until last night. Some say it's a ball of lightening come alive, some say it's static cling run amok, tough to say.", he simply shrugs.
"Maybe it's an alien?", Gwen commented.
"Alien? That's just plain kooky talk."
Alex looked annoyed at the mayors remark at this. "Ironic."
Near a soda machine, the Megawhatt sees the chance to cause even more trouble as it flashed a twisted grin. It enters the machine which began to jump in place. "What's it doing?", Ben asks.
"Eating electricity. The more it eats the stronger it gets.", the Mayor says as it began doing a rapid fire of canned drinks at them. "It's also got a dangerous sense of humor.", the five ran behind a flipped car in order to avoid getting seriously injured as the cans were denting solid metal and bricks.
"You kept that thing inside a rubber band ball all this time? Isn't that dangerous?", Max looked over at the still nonchalant mayor.
"It wouldn't be much of an issue if someone minded the signs.", a slight tint of annoyance filled the mayor's otherwise flat voice.
Ben finally cracked underneath the pressure. "Alright we did it, we're guilty!"
"So much for admit nothing!", that was Gwen's response.
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU ADVERTISE IT THEN?! AND WHY LEAVE A BUNCHA KIDS ALONE WITH A 10 FOOT TALL MOUND OF RUBBER BANDS?!", and that... was Alex's response.
"Lower your voice Alex, we're gonna talk about this later.", Max patted Alex's shoulder, which immediately signaled him to calm down a bit. "How do we stopped this thing, Mr. Mayor?"
"What'cha mean we?", the Mayor took out a long piece of straw from his pocket and sat at the bench, ever so unbothered as he put it in his mouth. "You let it out, you catch it.", as the vending machine was went flying into the wall.
And as such, the four began their search for the Megawhatt amongst the ruined town. "You think we can lure it out with some batteries or something?", Gwen asks, not completely sure how to go about catching a three foot tall ball of energy.
Up above however, a spark of yellow electricity was following them along the power lines. And within the blink of an eye, Max was suspended in the air as the Megawhatt grabbed him by his underwear. "OW! That's not funny... it's just painful.", Max says as the small creature was still giggling, almost bursting apart from how funny it was... to it specifically.
"Hold still, you little shit.", Alex says as he primed the Omnitrix and selected Deepcut's icon, slamming it down and being covered by a green flash... what stood there wasn't the tall man of Crystal but TopGear instead. "Eh, this works too."
"Not the guy you wanted?", Gwen asked as TopGear shrugged.
"Eh he's faster anyways.", TopGear stated as his visor slid down, as the Megawhatt saw this, looking for a new means of spreading carnage he zipped away and dropped Max.
The yellow electricity travelled up the world largest ketchup bottle, causing it to overflow and the cap go flying away and straight though the giant chicken's neck. It's high pitched laughter grew louder as it pointed at the man who ran away.
The Megawhatt turned its head around to see a blur slap him straight into the ground, the culprit being TopGear using rubber bands. "Awwwh, did that hurt?", the reptilian speedster mocked as he whipped the rubber band at the manic battery creature.
The Megawhatt simply cackled as the speedster chased after him, attempting to restrain him in rubber. "Is it me or is there a lot of excitement today?", the casual Mayor says as he ate popcorn while watching this, a younger resident looking at him with a confused expression.
"Dammit why won't you stay still!", TopGear hissed before managing to wrap the little gremlin in the rubber bands, laughing before it poked its head out and unleashed a roar. A bolt of electricity coming out of his mouth and launching him backwards into a building.
"Oh now you're in for it!", TopGear hissed as he sped after the lightening creature yet again around the town.
"How're we going to ground that electric devil?", Max asked as Gwen suddenly got an idea.
"Grandpa! You're a genius!", Gwen says as she ran off.
"Why thank you, why?", Max accepted the compliment as Ben just shrugged.
"Beats me.", Ben says as he looked over to still hear the frustrated noises of Alex.
The bolt of electricity zipped around him, only being faster than him by just a small amount but his sheer size and erratic movements made it hard to even stab him. Using his strong tail, he whipped it around and grabbed the Megawhatt, only to be blasted back by another bolt of electricity yet again.
The frustration that had been building in him had finally reached its peak, TopGear started screaming in frustration quickly throwing random items in arms reach at random directions in hopes of knicking the creature, stopping before slamming his hands into the dirt.
"Little fucking maggot, try laughing this off!", catching his second wind, he tore a manhole cover out of the ground and spun around. Quickly letting it go as the Megawhatt had stopped to look at him.
It had immediately regretted it as the manhole cover tore through its surprisingly soft body cleanly. His two halves floated in the air before they regenerated. The now duo of Megawhatts looked at each other before laughing.
"Of course it clones, because why wouldn't it?", TopGear lifted up his visor just to rub his eyes. "Okay, let's dance you-", he was going to continue the fight until the nerve wracking warning beeps echoed from the Omnitrix before being reverted into his default form in a bright red flash.
"Ah c'mon!", Alex grabbed his face as the Megawhatts let out a vicious roar, soon after a truck carrying the largest thermometer ever pulled up and shielded him from the blast, noticing the driver, Alex quickly hopped in and it promptly drove off.
The Megawhatt duo laughed and chased after them. "So uh, mind filling me in on what we're doing now?", Alex asked.
"Giving these sparklers a science lesson they'll never forget.", Max stepped on the gas pedal and quickly gained distance.
Gwen looked back and grabbed a lever. "Hey, Mega-weirds, come and get us!", she pushed it forward, the thermometer was tilted before being shoved into the ground.
The momentum the Megawhatts gained was too much for them to slow down and as a result, crashed into the thermometer and traveled down. "So, what did we do again?", Ben asks as he hopped out of the truck, Gwen following shortly after.
"Oh nothing, just used the Worlds Largest Thermometer as a lightening rod, who needs alien superheroes when you got good ol fashioned brain power?", Gwen tapped at her own head before being swiftly smacked by Alex as he and Max got out. "Ow! Hey!"
"Then again, the ground is just a big conductor.", the Mayor was quick to point this out as he now ate a churro.
"What does that mean?", Ben asked as he was unfamiliar with it, mainly because he never paid attention in class.
"Oh nothing, just that the Megawhatts are basically zipping around until they find their way back up here. Nothing bad.", Alex's sarcasm was more than evident as multiple phones had began ringing and surging with electricity.
"They must've gotten into the underground phone lines.", Max states with wide eyes as they began coming from not only the power line but every phone line as well... and there were more than two, more like twenty.
As quickly as they came out, the massive group of Megawhatts decided to cause more trouble by bursting the wheels of every car, destroying a transformer, then causing a fire hydrant to launch out of the ground, spreading water everywhere. The electrical devil that caused this laughed before rejoining its friends.
"Uh oh, now they really did it.", the waitress at the local diner says as she just sighed at the sigh.
Gwen frowned as she grabbed Ben by the head. "Don't even start."
"What? At least Alex could've come up with something better.", the 10 year old brunette comments before chuckling. "And who says you can't learn anything during the summer?", Ben says with a smug expression as an explosion erupted not far away.
"Eh it's not like she expected them to come out with more than two this time, right Gwen?", Alex says as he reassuringly pats her head, but this didn't calm Gwen at all.
All twenty Megawhatts converged around the worlds largest hotdog and unleashed a powerful sonic scream. It caused everyone to cover their ears along with the world's largest toothpicks to come falling out of their exploded container as they ceased their scream.
"Everybody move!", Max pushed one of the by standards along as everyone ran out of the way of a rain of toothpicks that stabbed themselves into the ground.
The Mayor, as always, was completely unbothered by this and simply picked out the glass that fell onto his burger. "There goes the Worlds Largest Toothpicks, oh the humanity.", he says as he took a large bite of his burger as the Megawhatts dispersed again.
"Those creeps' idea of good clean fun is gonna have us pushing up daisies.", Max says as he crossed his arms.
"Hurry up doofus!", Gwen smacked Alex on the back of the head with her shoe as Ben shielded his friend.
"Im still in the red, short stack! Give me a fucking second!", Alex snaps his head back to look at Gwen before getting hit with the shoe.
The Megawhatts reconvened in front of the Jackalope, the one that started all this stood atop this and muttered something unintelligible. They raised their hands as yellow electricity surged out of their bodies before vanishing.
Ben looked around slightly worried. "Where they'd go?"
"I don't know.", Max pats his grandsons shoulder as he looked around. "But I don't think it's good."
As if on cue, a large amalgamation of the planetarium exhibit bursted out of the glass, letting out a mechanical roar. Yellow electricity surged around its composite body as it just walked away. "Well that's something you don't see everyday, they brought that planetarium exhibit to life.", the postman points out the obvious.
"What an astute observation.", Alex stated with a furrowed brow.
"C'mon you guys, we'll cut it off with the- oh my.", Max was about to enter the Rust Bucket, only for him to see the Megawhatts had gotten to it first... it was missing its wheels along with U AM LAME spray painted on the side along with smiley faces.
"U AM LAME? That's weak.", Ben remarked.
Gwen was quick to join in on insulting the battery gremlins. "Don't even get me started on the grammar and spelling."
"Funny in concept, horrible in execution. I mean come on at least use different spray cans and not the gross shade of green.", Alex says as he picked up the empty spray can and now wondered where they even got them.
"I reckon they'll head for the big hydroelectric dam to power up further, after that they'll just wipe out the next town and so on and so on.", The Mayor chimed in, still completely done with all of this nonsense. "They think it's funny... yeah, Megawhatts got a real twisted sense of humor."
Gwen looked up and noticed the largest fishbowl was still completely intact, she tugged on both Alex's and Ben's sleeve. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Beating those pranksters at their own game?", Ben crosses his arms with a mischievous grin.
"If that's the case.", Alex activated the Omnitrix as it had finally recharged. "I'm game!"
At the dam, the living planetarium was slamming its fists into the damn trying to bust it down. It was interrupted by a sudden column of fire, the amalgam stepped back and looked up as smoke trailed off.
It finally noticed Sunburn was sitting atop the dam itself. "I feel like we had a misunderstanding earlier, so if you just get out of that planetarium maybe we can settle this like aliens."
In response to this, the planetarium slammed against the dam again, causing a leak. "It's go time then bitch!", Sunburn jumped off and began sliding down the dam, fire began building up around him before he took off with a comet underneath. He grabbed the planetarium and threw it away as he landed.
Sunburn looked at the leak before aiming his arm at it, releasing a dense beam of heat that quickly melted the concrete back together.
The planetarium managed to get back up, noticing the turbines and some object covered in a blue tarp but that didn't bother it. Sunburn came riding down ontop of another comet, and drop kicked the giant. The Megawhatts roared before attempting to slam Mercury ontop of him, Sunburn started laughing as he effortlessly dodged and kicked it back.
The possessed planetarium let out angered noises as Sunburn began moonwalking away from it. It let out an annoyed roar as it attempted to swing at him again only for Suburn to effortlessly dodge this and began zooming around the planetarium, utilizing his fire blasts to propel him around.
His laughter did nothing but further annoy the hive of Megawhatts. "D'aww, whats wrong? Can't take a harmless joke? Why don't you cry about it.", The planetarium spun around only to be met with a powerful beam of heat that knocked it backwards.
"Hey, Megawitts. Wanna see something hilarious?", the planetarium turned around to the sound of Gwen's voice before being sprayed with a hose. In anger it attempted to stomp on her but she quickly dodged out the way.
"Awh, what's the matter?", it then turned to the sound of a smirking Sunburn holding up a massive fire ball that dwarfed the two of them. "Can't handle what you can dish out?", he heaved and threw the giant ball of fire at the planetarium, causing it to fall apart.
The group of Megawhatts exited their destroyed vessel as they looked at him angrily, Sunburn however just laughed. "You're looking a little heated, c'mon guys I was just playing!", he says condescendingly as they charged at him, he smirked as they reached him... only to touch nothing but concrete.
"Missed me losers!", they turned to see Sunburn standing next to the object covered in a tarp with Ben.
"C'mon! We're right here.", Ben taunted as the Megawhatts let out a series of annoyed screams and charged at them as they went under the tarp, chasing after them by flying into it.
"They took the bait!", Max called out as he yanked the tarp off, displaying the Megawhatts were currently inside the worlds largest fishbowl. Sunburn stepped back before unleashing a torrent of fire from his mouth, melting the glass shut and trapping them.
Very obviously not happy, the Megawhatts roared at them. Sunburn just knelt down and flipped them off. "Gargle on my nuts.", he says as he began doing different things that ended with him showing the middle finger.
"With non conductive glass sealed up tight, sparky and his pals won't be going anywhere.", Max says as the Megawhatts quickly gave up and just sulked in their loss.
Gwen rubs her nose proudly. "And once again science saved the day."
A bright red flash covered Sunburn as Alex popped his neck.. "With a little help from science fiction."
"And some good ol fashion pranks!", Ben says as he admired their combined efforts as the Megawhatts just started hitting each other.
With all of that done, they finally made it back to the town with the Mayor hiring a construction team to fix the damage. "You four folks have done right by us.", the Mayor says with just the smallest of smiles.
"We're sorry if this little adventure set Sparksville back.", Max apologized since most of this was technically related to them.
The Mayor just shrugged as he walked up to something covered in a giant tarp. "More like a giant step forward, with our newest attraction we'll be raking em in.", he says as he pulled off the tarp, showcasing a gigantic light bulb on a stand. "Worlds Biggest Lightbulb, it'll be a humdinger... just long as folks mind the signs.", the mayor says looking at the four kids before walking away.
Ben looked at the sign that was placed in front of if. "In case of emergency, DO NOT break glass.", he says as he could barely notice the Megawhatts in there seemingly happy.
"Or just don't leave it in the open.", Alex comments with a shrug as they walked back to them.
"I think I'm all pranked out for a while.", Ben remarks as this whole experience really drained him.
"There is a time and a place for a practical joke.", Max stated as Ben looked at him with a cocked eyebrow before opening the RV door, which promptly followed a water bucket spilling and landing on his head. "But funny is funny!", Max chuckles as Gwen laughed at him.
Alex looked at the creatures trapped in a light bulb, who were consistently flipping him off in particular. Max leaned over to him with a frown. "Should I call Oscar about this or you?"
"Eh, I got it."
/End/
