In the Tennyson house Ben and Star were getting ready for the campout that Grandpa Max had set up.
"Ben, what do you think is the surprise that Max said that going to be there?" asked Star
"I don't know! But knowing Grandpa Max its probable something gross for him to cook." said Ben
"With what you told me about his cooking. I wouldn't be surprised."
Soon Kevin's car pulled up with Kevin and Gwen in the car.
"It looks like Kevin and Gwen are here." said Ben as he saw Kevin's car. Ben and Star left the house and entered Kevin's car.
"I can't wait to go camping." said Star
"I'm guessing you never went camping. Being a princess and all." said Kevin
"No me and my dad went on camping trip before."
"Really! You have gone camping back on Mewni?" asked Gwen
"Yeah! But camping on Mewni most likely is different then here on Earth."
They got to the campsite and parked right next to Rust Bucket. Ben, Star, Kevin and Kevin got out of the car. Then they noticed that Moon was there as well.
"Why is my mom here?" Star whispered to Ben. Ben just shrugged there shoulders.
"Hello, Star!" said Moon
"Mom! What are you doing here?"
"I invited here." said Max as he exited
"Wait, so how do you two know each other?"
"I meet your mom during my years as a Plumber."
Moon realized Star might not understand what Max meant by Plumber. "Star! See a Plumber is... They are..." said Moon trying to figure out how to explain the Plumbers.
"Plumbers are interstellar police." said Star
"Yes! But how did you know that?"
"Well Ben told me about them. When he was telling stories about when he was ten." Star
"Well then I guess I don't have to explain it. Max and I meet a long time ago. I was 13 and it was just a few days till my birthday. I was exploring the forest. When I was attack by a monster I never seen before."
"It was probably an alien." said Ben
"He was a criminal. I had tracked him to that planet." said Max
"I was able to hold my own against it. Till Max came and helped me out. After it was captured Max told me about the Plumbers and asked me if I wanted to join the Plumbers. I said yes." said Moon
"Wait! Mom you were a Plumber?" asked Star in shock
"No! You see something happened between the time after I got the wand and when Max came back to Mewni. So I couldn't become a Plumber."
"What happened?"
"I'll tell you when you are older, Star."
"But after that we stayed in touch. She even asked me to set Star up here on Earth." said Max
"I shocked to find out you were staying at the Tennyson's house. Max told me a lot bout you Ben."
"Like what?" asked Ben
"He told me he is very proud of you and how a fine young man you are. You know if you want to date my daughter..."
"MOM!" shouted Star with her face all red.
After a while Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen started to set the picnic table. Max was at the grill.
"So when are you going to tell stories about my dad?" asked Kevin
Moon heard what Kevin said. "Dose Max really knows that boys father?" Moon asked Star
"You mean Kevin, what I heard Max and Kevin's dad use to be partners." said Star
Moon and Star soon heard Kevin say something about squid. "Well I better get going. I learned the hard way Max has a weird taste in food."
"Yeah, Ben already told me."
Moon opened a portal and returned back to Mewni. After the portal closed an Earthquake hit.
"Earthquake!" said Gwen
Underground in an alien pod a rock hit it opening it. Then a Highbreed came out.
"Awake." said the Highbreed. The Highbreed started to run over to a computer and started to press some buttons. "Station log - my hibernation pod has opened. That means the unthinkable has occurred - the war is lost. I must complete my final mission." Then a red button showed up.
At the campout.
"So Grandpa how much did you tell Moon?" asked Ben
"Don't worry I didn't tell Moon about you having the Omnitrix or that you and Star are dating. That is something you two have to tell her." said Max
"Thanks." said Star
"Where was I with that story. Oh, right. Zap! One shot took down the three of them. Now all I had to worry about was the bomb. But time was running out." Max gave Kevin the squid patty on a bun.
"This is a regular burger, right?" asked Kevin
Ben lifted the top of the bun. "I see eyes and a beak in there. Is that okay?" asked Ben
With the Highbreed.
"The deed is done." said the Highbreed as he pressed the button.
At the campout.
Max started to scream out in pain knocking over the grill and falling to the ground.
"Grandpa? Grandpa!" said Ben in a worried tone. Star, Kevin and Gwen were worried as well. Then Ben and Kevin worked to together to lift up.
"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Gwen
"I'm fine. Thanks. Just got a little dizzy for a second." said Max as he regained himself. "Well, let's eat."
"I can't. You dumped my burger." said Kevin
"You dumped the whole grill, remember?" asked Gwen
Max turned around and saw the grill and the squid on the ground. "That was the last of my ground squid, too. I've got some hamburger meat in the freezer, though. I guess we could eat that." said Max
"Well, you know, if you're out of the squid, what can we do?" said Kevin as entered the RV.
Max picked up the grill as Ben, Star and Gwen left Max. "Drone seeds located and activated. Command-and-control sequence activated. Commencing command code self-test." Max stood up and knocked over the grill again.
Kevin walked out and saw that the grill was on the ground again. "Wasn't hungry anyway." said Kevin
Then Ben and Gwen ran over to Max. "Grandpa!" said Ben
Max turned around. "W-What?" asked Max
"It happened again." said Gwen
"We should get you looked at." said Ben
"There's no need. I'm fine. Look." But Ben and Gwen didn't look convinced. "Tell you what - let's get some sleep, and if I'm still acting goofy in the morning, we'll see someone about it then."
"Okay."
"Good night, kids."
Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen and Max started to get ready for bed. Inn the middle of the night as Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen were sleeping Max go up with a strange purple root growing on the right side of his face. In the morning Kevin was the first to get up.
"I'll get the chow. Last time Max made breakfast, we had scramble eggs and eyeballs." said Kevin. Kevin turned over and saw that Max was gone as the Rust Bucket. "Hey, Tennyson, Butterfly, Gwen? Wakey-wakey." Then Ben, Star and Gwen started to wake up.
"Where's the Rust Bucket?" asked Ben
"Where is Grandpa Max?" asked Gwen
"What's happening?" asked Star
"Yeah, that's why I didn't let you sleep in." said Kevin
"Gwen, can you get a fix on him?" asked Ben
Gwen's eyes started to glow purple. "Got him. He's heading west." said Gwen
"Then so are we."
"We have no time to lose." said Star
Ben, Star and Gwen ran over to Kevin's car. "No dinner last night, no breakfast this morning. What, are we on a diet?" asked Kevin as he made his way to the car. Kevin started the car and started to drive.
With Max
Max found himself with five other people.
"5 of 91 seedlings present. Sufficient animal biomass for fail-safe activation." said Max
Underground.
The Highbreed heard this on the monitor. "Excellent. Activating final stage." Said the Highbreed as he activated a few switches. Then these metal vines sprouted and wrapped around the humans that are there. And formed a pod around them.
With Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen
"We go off-road from here." said Gwen
"You sure?" asked Kevin
"I'm sure."
Kevin then pressed a button and the car transformed into off-road mode. They soon found the Rust Bucket. They got out of the car and emidtily see the pod.
"What is that?" asked Star
"I don't know." said Ben
"What ever it is Grandpa Max is inside." said Gwen
"Not for long." Ben activated the Omnitrix then he slam it down. "Spidermonkey! I think I can cut this thing open."
But before they could do anything a Highbreed ran out carrying a blaster. "Come no closer to the seed pod, inferior filth."
"A Highbreed?" questioned Star
"Lighten up, will ya? The war's over." said Kevin
"Perhaps, but our defeat will bring you nothing but sorrow, vermin." said the Highbreed
"I'm getting my Grandpa out of there. I'd step aside if I were you." said Ben. Ben jumped up and was about to attack the Highbreed. But the Highbreed quickly blasted Ben. Sending him fly back into a hole.
Star ran over to check on Ben. "Are you alight?" asked Star. Ben gave Star four thumbs up.
"Nobody smacks him around but me!" said Kevin. He morphed his right hand into a morningstar and charged at the Highbreed. The Highbreed fired at Kevin but he ducked. Kevin swung his hand but the Highbreed blocked it with the blaster. The Highbreed hit Kevin with blaster and send him flying into a tree.
"And I'm the only one that smacks him around." said Star. She go her wand out and started to fire a few blasts. The Highbreed fired as well. The two blasts canceled each others out. "Narwhal blast!" A narwhal fired out of Star's wand. Star noticed that it didn't look right. The Highbreed grabbed the narwhal by the tusk with one hand and tossed it back at Star hitting her. Gwen fired a blast disarming the Highbreed. Then she fired a beam wrapping around the Highbreed. Gwen started pull the Highbreed. Then Highbreed grabbed the beams and moved his arms freeing himself and knocking back Gwen. Star and Kevin ran over to Gwen. Ben came out of the hole.
"Let's try hitting all at once, not one at a time." said Ben. Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen surround the Highbreed. They were ready to attck the Highbreed. Then the ground started to shack. The pod went down into the ground and a giant would creature came out of the ground. The creature started to walk away. Ben and Star got up a higher to get a better look at the creature.
"What is that thing?" asked Star
"The end of the human infestation. The end of our war." said the Highbreed
"Don't you watch the news? The war is over?" said Kevin
"Yeah, we're friends now." said Gwen as Ben and Star got back down.
"Uh, could we go back to "the end of the human infestation" part?" asked Ben
"You are doomed." said the Highbreed
"I don't think so. You're gonna tell me how to stop that thing, or I'm gonna have to hurt you!" Then Ben turned back to normal. "Oh, figures. Stupid omnitrix."
"I don't have time to toy with an inferior. I go now to watch the destruction of your pitiful species." The Highbreed started to fly away
Kevin started his car and drove it around to pickup Ben, Star and Gwen. "Come one. We'll follow in my car." said Kevin
"Forget the car. I've got a better idea." said Ben as he activated the omnitrix and hit it. "Way Big!" Then Ben noticed that he wasn't Way Big but Humungousaur. "Oh, man! Humungousaur. I wonder if the omnitrix is still under warranty." Ben grew to his maxim height and started to charge at the creature. He grabbed one of the creatures legs but it didn't slow the thing down. Star and Gwen got into Kevin's car and started to head towards the creature. "It barely knows I'm here."
"Maybe I can get it's attention!" said Gwen as she made a huge purple shield in hopes of stopping it. The creature just walked right trough it. "So not my day. What about you Star?"
"I don't think I have anything for this." said Star
Kevin pressed a button and the roof of the car slid open. "It just needs a good pruning." said Kevin. He pressed the auto track button and pressed a different button ejecting himself from the car. He morphed his hands into blades and started to cut the trees on the creature as he fell towards the creature. He miss a branch and fell off the creature. The car stopped right in front of him as he got up. "Usually, I'm a murder on houseplants."
"The big problem is that Grandpa Max is inside that thing." said Gwen
"And with a bunch of other people, and don't want to hurt any of them." said Star
"So far, not really a problem." said Ben. He charged at the chreature and started to push on of it legs stopping it.
"Good job, Ben!" said Star as she and Gwen walked up some energy steps that Gwen have made.
"Hold it still, and we'll look for weak spots." said Gwen
Then creature then smack Star and Gwen and then soon Ben. Ben quickly gabbed Star and Gwen before they landed to the ground. Ben set Star and Gwen on the ground. Then he turned back to normal. Kevin joined them.
"We've tried going easy, and we've tried going hard. Now what?" asked Kevin
"We don't know enough about that thing to stop it. But maybe there's someone who does. Star your with me. Gwen, Kevin, try to slow it down." said Ben right before he started to run away. Star started to follow Ben. "We'll be back as soon as we can." Ben whispered into Star's ear. Star pulled out her dimensional scissors and open a portal. Ben and Star entered the portal. The portal took Ben and Star to Julie's house.
"Julie we need to borrow Ship." said Ben
"Okay! Ship!" said Julie as she called out for Ship.
"Ship! Ship!" said Ship as he came to the door.
"Thanks." said Star
Ship turned into his ship form. Ben and Star entered to the ship and flew to the Highbreed home world. Ben and Star soon meet up with Reinrassic. Ben and Star soon told him about what was going on back on Earth and about the Highbreed. The three of them started to fly back to Earth.
On Earth the military tried to attack the creature. But it didn't do anything to it. Then the Highbreed landed in front of them. The military pointed there guns at him.
"Idiotic cattle. You cannot hope to succeed." said the Highbreed
"Suppose we make you tell us how to stop it." said Kevin as he grabbed the Highbreed.
"Unhand me, vermin!" Then the Highbreed tossed Kevin to the side. Gwen fired a beam and grabbed Kevin and set him down onto the ground. "A lower life-form cannot force me to do anything."
Then Ship started to land near were Kevin, Gwen, the Highbreed and the military.
"No. But I can." said Reinrassic as he exited Ship.
The Highbreed turned around. "Who are you?" asked the Highbreed
"He's Reinrassis III, seventh son of the noble Hignbreed house of Di Rassa, direct descendant of the pure-blooded high order of Rasecht. And personal friend of mine." said Ben
"I am the Highbreed supreme." said Reinrassic
"Impossible! You are impure. Look at your hand." said the Highbreed
"Yes, look at it." Reinrassic showed the Highbreed that his hand has a seal. The Highbreed saw it.
"You wear the imperial seal!" The Highbreed kneeled. "My apologies, Highbreed supreme. Then our people have not been exterminated."
"Clearly."
"But I was only to be awaken if we lost the war."
"The war has ended. And it was settled peacefully, thanks to Ben Ben Tennyson."
"Peace...with the humans. Then what awakened me from hibernation?"
"It must have been some sort of accident."
"It must have been the Earthquake." said Gwen
"Whatever the cause, your orders are clear. Shut down that weapon."
"Supreme one, I would deactivate it if I could, but once a fail-safe sprouts, nothing can stop it." said the Highbreed
"You mean that thing's got and "on" switch but not "off"?" said Kevin
"What good is a fail-safe if you can turn it off?" asked Gwen
"But what if your fail-safe is turned against you. Then you will be happy that you added a "off" switch to it." said Star
"In any case. We implanted post-hypnotic seeds in several dozen humans who had been our prisoners. Those seed were to be activated and the fail-safe process started only upon our demise." said Reinrassic
"So, what's it gonna do - stomp us all to death?" asked Kevin
"No. The fail-safe needs a large power source to prime its destructive energies." said the Highbreed
"And when it's primed?" asked Gwen
"It will explode, and the resulting fallout will destroy your planet within minutes." said Reinrassic
"That's not good." said Star
Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen, Reinrassic and the Highbreed got into Ship and flew in front of the creature.
"We're not gonna just stand here and let the brussels sprout that walks like a man nuke us, are we?" asked Kevin
"No but fighting it head-on hasn't worked." said Ben
"So, who said "head-on"? All plants release gases inn some way, right? So this one must have some kind of exhaust port." said Gwen
"And if we can find it, we can get inside and try to stop it from there."
"Really? We're gonna climb up its exhaust port?" asked Kevin
"You're going to climb. I'm going to fly." said Ben as he activating the omnitrix and hit it. "Jetray!" Ben started to fly away and Star fired a ribbon that wrapped around Ben's tail. Star held onto the ribbon as she was carried by Ben through the air. Gwen and Kevin soon caught up with Ben and Star.
"If you ever tell anybody about this..."
"Trust me - it'll be our secret." Ben said back to his normal self. Ben, Star and Gwen were covering there noises.
"What do you think would happen if I lit a match?"
"Don't." said Star
They made there way through the creature.
"These are like veins. And we're in this circulatory system...or something." said Ben
"The little ones carry fluids. The big ones exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen." said Gwen
"Then let's try and get to the center - the heart of brain of this thing - and shut it down."
"I have a feeling that they'll let us." said Star as she saw 5 strange looking creatures that look almost like Highbreeds.
"We're like germs."
"So, it sent antibodies to stop us." said Gwen
Ben activated the omnitrix and hit it. "Diamondhead!" Ben started to fire crystal at one of the creatures. The creature then hand shot out and wrapped around Ben. Kevin started to battle with one of the creatures. He punched it around quite a bit. He jumped up and was about to hit the creature. The creature fired a tentacle out of it's chest and it wrapped around Kevin. Star and Gwen worked together and fired blasts at the last three creatures. But it didn't worked the creatures kept coming at them. The creatures shot there hands out and wrapped them around Star and Gwen. One of the creatures tried to but Ben in a pod like thing. Benn kick one of the creatures away. The creature was sent fly away then a cord on its back was broke off. Ben got out o the pod as the creature turned back into a human.
"What did you do?" asked Kevin
"They're all attached to the walls by vines." said Star
"Kind of like umbilical cords." said Gwen
"Or power cords." said Kevin. He got up and kicked one of the creatures and disconnect it from the cord. Ben got Star, Kevin and Gwen free. They each cut a cord freeing the rest.
"No sign of grandpa Max." said Gwen
"So we keep looking." said Ben
Star used her dimensional scissors and send the people to safety. Then they head furthered inside the creature.
"Are you sure this is the right way?" asked Star
"Pretty sure." said Ben as he pointed to Max.
"It looks like the fail-safe's using him as the brain." said Gwen
They made there way up to Max.
Outside.
The creature kept getting to the power plant. It soon grabbed on to the building and started to drain the power. The Highbreed flew up into the air.
Inside the creature.
"Grandpa! You're the only one who can stop it! Focus on my voice!" said Ben. Then the vines started to tighten around Max.
"The power of love isn't cutting it." said Kevin
"So why don't we do some cutting ourselves." said Star
Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen split up and each tired to cut or destroy the vines. But the vines either repaired or was replaced by anther.
"Any house I ever have is gonna have a desert landscaping - no plaints!" said Kevin
"Why didn't I think of it before?" said Ben. Then he returned to normal.
"Think of what?" asked Star
"We're fighting a giant plant, and I've got an alien that can control plants." Ben activated the omnitrix and hit it. "Swampfire!"
"Can you control all this?" asked Gwen
"Probably not. But I should be able to cut the connection to Grandpa Max." Ben walked to Max and grabbed the thing that was connected to Max's head. Then after a few seconds it came off and the vines that were holding him let go.
Max let out a sigh. "So, Devlin Levin laid down cover fire while I defused the bomb. Have I told this story before?" asked Max
Both Ben, Star, Kevin and Gwen were happy that Grandpa Max was back to normal.
Outside.
The creature stopped draining power. Then it started to fall forwards. It landed on a building and started to crush it.
Inside the creature.
"There's no brain making this thing stand anymore!" said Ben
"If we're still inside when it falls over..." said Gwen
"You have a bigger problem." said the Highbreed
Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen and Max turned to see the Highbreed.
"Here to finish the job, huh?" asked Kevin
"As a matter of fact, insect, that is precisely why I'm here." The Highbreed walked over to where Max was before.
"We'll fight you!" said Ben
"You understand nothing. My orders were to destroy you, so I unleashed this weapon. Now my orders are to stop it, and so I shall." The Highbreed put on the helmet.
"But this place is coming apart! If you stay here -" said Star
"All the more reason for you to gather the other humans and leave this place. Go now!"
Star pulled out her dimensional scissors and opened a portal to get out of the creature.
Outside
The creature stood back up and it started to fall over not landing on anything.
"Ben Ben Tennyson!" said Reinrassic
Ben, Star, Kevin, Gwen and Max walked out of a portal.
"Is just fine, and so are we. Thanks for asking." said Kevin
Then Reinrassic started to walk over them.
"You okay, Grandpa?" asked Ben
"I am. Good work, kids." said Max
"Yes, Ben Ben Tennyson. You have once again done well." said Reinrassic
"Not that well. The other Highbreed was in there. He's the one who saved the power plant." said Ben
"He was a soldier doing his duty. There is no higher honor for a Highbreed."
They walked Reinrassic to Ship.
"I would suggest you removing any and all doomsday plans you have on other planets." said Star
"That's a good idea."
"Come on Reiney. I'll have ship give you a ride home." said Ben
"Grandpa, are you really okay?" asked Gwen
"Yep. I really am. Except for one thing. This little has definitely put me off my vegetables." said Max
