(Later, at a truck stop diner a short ways away, the two RVs stopped for lunch and some repairs.)
(The twins piled their plates high with corn dogs, french fries, pizza, burgers, chicken wings, you name it.)
(They went to the table set for seven and smiled as Allison rolled her eyes.)
Allison: "These guys haven't seen my cooking."
(she said with a smile as she ate at her BBQ platter of ribs, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes.)
???: "Word around these parts is that you six took down the Road Crew."
(an elderly waitress named Shelby said as she walked up to the group.)
Jen: "The Road Crew?"
(Jen asked.)
Shelby: "Baron Highway, Turbine and Road Rage."
(Shelby explained.)
Shelby: "They've been terrorizing good folks on these backroads since I had a full set of teeth. They took my ride years ago. I've been stuck here working as a waitress in this complex ever since."
Max: "Well, we're just doing our job."
(Max said.)
Ben: "When people are in trouble, we have to help. That's our policy."
(Ben smiled.)
Shelby: "And they'll be out of a job once the new highway opens. With no one taking the backroads, there'll be no more sitting ducks on the road for them to pluck off."
Becky: "Thank goodness for that too."
(Becky said.)
Becky: "The world is much better off without people like them in it."
Shelby: "Well."
(Shelby said, taking notice of the twins stuffing they're faces.)
Shelby: "I hope you two left room for dessert. We've got the best ice cream this side of the Rockies."
(The twins paused and took a look at the ice cream sundae bar and smiled to each other, raising an eyebrow each.)
(Meanwhile, on the hill outside of the truck stop, the Road Crew looked out at the Rust Bucket as Baron Highway smirked to himself with his partners getting impatient.)
Road Rage: "We're wasting time!"
(the tattooed man, Road Rage, said as he scratched himself with his chained hook.)
Road Rage: "I'm itching to do this."
Turbine: "Maybe that's cause you ain't washed in days."
(the woman, Turbine, said.)
Turbine: "You smell more putrid than a possum in a barrel of pickles."
(Road Rage then stopped and smelled underneath his arms.)
Jen: "Oh."
(Jen said as she rubbed her temples as she laid against the Rust Bucket while Max worked on the undercarriage.)
Max: "Brain freeze."
Ben: "I don't feel so hot."
(Ben said as he groaned.)
Gwen: "Gee."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "You think it was your guys' fourth trip to the ice cream bar or the fifth?"
Allison: "I need an ice water."
(Allison said as she walked up and opened the freezer, prompting Max and Gwen to panic.)
Max and Gwen: "Don't use the ice maker!"
(Allison gasped as she was blasted with ice and stumbled out of the stairs and onto the ground.)
(Outside, the windshield wipers activated on their own and Becky was squirted with the fluid from the nozzle on the hood of the car as Allison shivered from the cold.)
Allison: "Cold, cold, cold."
(she shivered.)
Gwen: "We warned you."
(Gwen said, helping her friend up.)
Jen: "Huh?"
(Jen asked as she stood up.)
Jen: "What's that strange noise?"
Ben: "Oh crap!"
(Ben shouted as he and the others ran away as they saw Baron Highway and Road Rage pull up in the tow truck with a determined look on their faces.)
Becky: "Not these guys again!"
(Becky said as they ran away.)
Gwen: "Grandpa!"
(Gwen said as Max pulled out and Turbine pulled up in her muscle car, got out, and fired her bolt gun at our heroes as they ran away from them.)
(Turbine walked up to Max as he got out from under the Rust Bucket and glared at him as she swung her wrench down and shattered the block on the creeper as Max got up.)
(The two then got into a fight with their wrenches, which culminated in Max pushing her aside, where she stumbled over her car.)
(As the group was distracted, Baron Highway snuck into the Rust Bucket and turned the keys, which were still in the ignition, and fired up the engine.)
Max: "Get out!"
(Max ordered.)
(Baron Highway smirked and peeled out of the parking lot in the Rust Bucket as the group looked out.)
Jen: "Hero time, bro?"
(Jen asked as she activated her Omnitrix.)
Ben: "You know it."
(Ben said as they slammed the cores down and transformed into Upchuck and Frostblight.)
Upchuck: "Let's eat!"
(Upchuck said.)
(He shot out his four tongues and devoured some oil cans before spitting out his exploding projectiles at Turbine as she peeled away while Frostblight flew away and created an icy path on the road to try to trip the Road Crew up.)
Turbine: "What is that thing?!"
(Turbine asked.)
Road Rage: "Whatever it is, it's about to be roadkill!"
(Road Rage shouted as he swung his hooked chain outwards and snagged Upchuck and dragged him across the blacktop of the road and he shouted out in pain.)
Road Rage: "Road burn!"
(Road Rage then shouted out and tossed the eating alien into the diner's windows as he whooped out, but not before slipping on the icy road and crashing into Turbine's ride.)
Shelby: "What do you think this is? A drive-thru?!"
(Shelby asked as she peeked up from the tossed table and Upchuck looked at the bottomless amounts of food surrounding him.)
Upchuck: "An Upchuck dream come true."
(he said as he shot his tongues out and devoured some pizza slices... only to immediately spit them out in disgust.)
Upchuck: "Oh great. I'm a bottomless pit and I can't digest the good stuff!"
(Upchuck walked out of the wreckage and gasped when he saw Turbine rush in with her muscle car and glare as Frostblight suddenly flew in and created an icy mist from her wings, distracting her as she was blinded before Frostblight gasped as she was right in front of her and went splat on the windshield like a bug as she had her blue tongue sticking out.)
(Turbine smiled and flicked on the windshield wipers, knocking her off as she rammed right into Upchuck, sending him crashing into the car wash as the Omnitrixes timed out.)
Ben: "Ugh."
(Ben said as he stood up.)
(Suddenly, he realized that he had his foot stuck in the conveyor belt that locks the cars in place and it started moving.)
(He then looked to see the sprayers activated the hot wax feature of the car wash.)
Ben: "I'm stuck! And I'm about to be ultra-hot waxed!"
(Max reached into his shirt as Jen recovered and he pulled out a small device, which unfolded into a small boomerang that he tossed at the car wash, pressing the button and deactivating the hot wax just before Ben went under.)
(Jen and the others sighed in relief as they saw Ben go through the automatic car mops in the car wash that he was sucked into.)
(He shouted out, which was muffled out by the rinse cycle as he was sprayed with hot water.)
(The girls, minus Jen, tried to stifle a giggle as he walked towards them before he was suddenly blasted by the hot air from the blow dryers, which left his hair spiked up from the intense heat plus the water from the rinse cycle.)
Ben: "Do I look okay, guys?"
Allison: "Actually, it's an improvement."
(Allison chuckled before Max looked out.)
Max: "They took the Rust Bucket."
(he said.)
Becky: "Oh man. All of our stuff was in it!"
(Becky said.)
Gwen: "Tell me that you took the weapons out."
(Gwen begged.)
Becky: "I never go anywhere without my weapons."
(Becky said.)
Allison: "And I took the hoverboards and the energy cannon just in case."
(Allison said as she tossed them to the twins from her backpack.)
Max: "Good thing too. They already have some of the most advanced technology in the world on that RV. I don't want to think what would happen if they got their hands on these things."
