PlotEdit

A man arrives in a desert area and writes a report about a machine he had been watching. There were massive tremors in the place where he was supposed to check over. A bunch of giant cow-like aliens emerged from the machine destroyed in the tremors. Doug got in his truck and tried to start it up, but it wouldn't start.

Ben, Kevin and Gwen were heading to a location in his car. Kevin's police detector went off alerting him of a cop with a radar gun. Kevin clicked a button using a cloaking field rendering it temporarily invisible although it still alerted the radar gun. They arrived at the area filled with the aliens. Ben worried that they would eat Kevin since they ate rocks and Kevin's mutation is partly made of rock.

Kevin used an ID mask to disguise himself, however Gwen was still worried. Ben ran ahead trying to transform into Humungousaur, failing to, as the aliens ran him over. Kevin barged into the scene to rescue Ben. Gwen joined in to save Kevin from being eaten and Ben managed to become Brainstorm. He trapped the aliens.

They later contacted Grandpa Max who spoke about how they were Pyroxivors and how they hadn't been seen on Earth. Max said this is were fantasy creatures came from except Bigfoot.

They got in Kevin's car and went to the area were the explosion was. They began driving down a caved tunnel made in the explosion. Suddenly the car began falling tons of feet and Kevin clicked a button for a parachute. It tore and so he activated the Jet-rockets. They landed safely and began to search the cave. Kevin tried lighting a match, Gwen kept blowing out as Ben told him the room was filled with dynamite.

An alien named Moldywarp began pushing boulders down and Ben became Big Chill going after him. He revealed he had been stealing explosives after being captured and how he hated friends or people in general. The alien led them an elevator and went down to the area were magma was building up. Ben met up with Vulkanus and he ordered his men to take care of the group.

Vulkanus prepared to fight but Ben prevented a conflict. Vulkanus spoke about how he spent the Taydenite he got from Kevin and bought the Earth. Vulkanus planned to drop a bomb into the center of the earth to make the planet more like his home planet, Vulcan. He dropped the bomb which Ben decided to stop, while Kevin, Gwen, and Moldywarp fought Vulkanus.

Gwen was cornered by a tractor which began drilling through her shields and Ben was unable to use the Omnitrix. Moldywarp blew up the machine and Ben became Spidermonkey. He battled and defeated Vulkanus. They later escaped his body-armor and had sped up the bomb's countdown. Spidermonkey planned to catch the bomb when it drops.

Spidermonkey tried to become Humungousaur but instead became Jetray and the bomb dropped and he went after it. Jetray destroyed the bomb by using his neuroshock blasts before it could cause damage and escaped the tunnel. He met up with his team, reverted to Ben, and found Moldywarp planning to blow the area up to keep Vulkanus away. They rushed to the car with Moldywarp and escaped the cave area as it exploded.

They arrived on the surface and Moldywarp reunited with his Pyroxivors. Kevin was happy Vulkanus had wasted tons of his money. Ben stated they needed to get to the Pyroxivors back underground. Moldywarp said he'd do it and revealed he eats them, disgusting Ben and Gwen.

QuotesEdit

Vulkanus: (Dodges mana aiming for his head) Somebody do something about her! Moldywrap: Haha! (Throws bombs at Vulkanus's men) Gwen: Harsh... Moldywrap: Ahah! I blows 'em up all the time! (Throws another bomb, BOOM) I thinks they likes it!

Ben: It's hero time, tin man! (Tries to transform, but the Omnitrix fails to activate) Maybe my watch is fast.

Vulkanus: Who dares intrude on the lair of the... (sees Ben and the gang) Aw, not you again!

Max: Those are Pyroxivors. I haven't seen one in years. Kevin: How come we've never heard of 'em? Max: Kiddo, there's lots of species here on Earth you won't find in any book. That's where fairy tales come from. Unicorns, trolls, pixies, they're all real. Kevin: Even Bigfoot? Max: Don't be ridiculous. That's a guy in a suit!

Ben: Hero time! (Slaps the Omnitrix, but does not change) Humungousaur! (Tries again and fails to change) Humungousaur? (The Pyroxivors charge towards Ben') ('Starts slapping the Omnitrix repeatedly) Humungousaur, Humungousaur, Humungousaur!

Ben: (Gets up after being knocked down) Ugh! With you in a minute! (Transforms into Brainstorm) Brainstorm: Brainstorm? Bewildering.

Kevin: (After Brainstorm saves him and Gwen from the Pyroxivors) Those cow things bit me! Brainstorm: Precisely why I chose to surround them with the metal rail. I observed that they only eat stone. Kevin: Lucky me.

Gwen: Cloaking field gives me a headache. Kevin: Speeding tickets give me a headache.

Kevin: (Lights a candle, reads from box) TNT... (Gwen blows out candle) Kevin: What did you do that for? (Relights candle) (Ben blows it out) Kevin: Cut it out! Ben: You cut it out! The room's filled with dynamite! You almost blew us up! Kevin: How was I supposed to know? Ben: I don't know... reading?!

Vulkanus: And before you know it, I have all the comforts of home. Kevin: Wait, home? Where you come from, on a cool day it's 850 degrees. Vulkanus: Uh huh.
