(The Road Crew looked under the hood of the Rust Bucket as they investigated it in their garage with an amazed smile on their faces.)
Turbine: "Hoo, doggy! The catfish are biting tonight!"
(Turbine smiled.)
Turbine: "Nitro-methane supercharged engine and turbo boosted. She probably tops out at 300 miles an hour."
Baron: "Crank her up a bit more, will you darlin'?"
(Baron Highway asked.)
Baron: "I want it ready for the highway grand opening."
Turbine: "Will I?!"
(Turbine said.)
(Turbine and Road Rage, immediately got to work and started to hotwire the Rust Bucket with some of the Road Crew's own tricks and mechanics.)
(They gave it a new shiny paint job, took off the hubcaps and replaced them with shiny new steel ones, attached a large mechanical arm to the top, added solid steel bumpers, and nitrous boosters at the tail end of the car.)
Baron: "Now this is Klass. With a Capital K!"
(Max hung up the phone at the diner with a sigh as he looked to the kids.)
Max: "The police haven't seen it anywhere. We'll need to search high and low."
(Max said, worried.)
Jen: "I don't know."
(Jen said with a sigh.)
Jen: "You really want it back that badly?"
Becky: "I'm with Jen on this one."
(Becky said.)
Becky: "I've had to take 30 minute bathroom breaks in that thing just because of how bad the toilet is."
Ben: "Look on the bright side, Grandpa."
(Ben said.)
Ben: "With the insurance money you'll get, you can buy something brand new. Like Mr. Wainwright's deluxe RV."
Max: "Ben, Jen, the Rust Bucket's irreplaceable."
(Max said.)
Max: "It's got character. It has personality."
Allison: "It smells."
(Allison said.)
Gwen: "It breaks down."
(Gwen said.)
Jen: "It has the worst heating system since the 1950's."
(Jen said.)
Becky: "It has a toilet that doesn't work."
(Becky agreed.)
Ben: "It has an ice maker that can actually kill you."
(Ben finished.)
Max: "And it's like family."
(Max said.)
Max: "I'll search every inch of the Southwest if I have to."
Jen: "Um, with what, Grandpa?"
(Jen said.)
Gwen: "There's no other cars or RVs here that we can borrow."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "Everyone bailed out of here when the Road Crew came back. Everyone's afraid of them."
(They suddenly heard a car horn honk Dixie and they looked out to see Laurence's deluxe RV move towards them with Shelby smiling in the driver's seat.)
Shelby: "Hop on in, everyone. Old Wainwright's letting me take her for a quick spin around the block."
(she said.)
Ben: "Dibs on the satellite TV first!"
(Ben shouted as he and the kids all rushed towards the RV with Max walking sadly towards it.)
(The Road Crew drove the tricked out Rust Bucket towards an armored truck in front of the county bank.)
Baron: "Now for a little tune-up just to see what this baby can really do!"
(Baron Highway said.)
(Road Rage pressed a button and a laser port came out of the side of the Rust Bucket and pointed itself at the armored car, causing the driver to run away in a panic as a huge laser blasted out and destroyed the car in a fiery explosion, sending cash flying everywhere.)
(Road Rage cackled as he and Turbine went outside and gathered up countless bags of bucks as the cops watched.)
cop: "Help! We're being robbed!"
(One shouted over his radio.)
(Max looked on worried in the front seat of the RV while Shelby drove as the kids were all geeking out over the deluxe RV's settings as the twins played a video game with Becky and Allison while Gwen checked out the radio.)
Ben: "You've got to be kidding me!"
(Ben said.)
Ben: "I want this gaming system for my room!"
Jen: "It plays in HD and it has every game ever made!"
(Jen said as she glared.)
Gwen: "This satellite can pick up anything."
(Gwen said as she adjusted the radio.)
Gwen: "Police alerts, weather reports, roadside emergency calls, you name it."
radio: "Tonight's forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with a- Flat tire on Old Mill Rd- Robbery in progress! Escape vehicle is some kind of tricked out RV in downtown Augustus,"
Max: "Tricked out RV?!"
(Max gasped.)
Shelby: "Augustus is only five miles from here."
(Shelby said.)
Max: "Go!"
Shelby: "With pleasure."
(Shelby said.)
Shelby: "It's payback time!"
Jen: "If those jerks touch one string on my guitar, they're vehicles won't be the only things that are gonna be totaled!"
(Jen shouted.)
(Once they arrived in Augustus, they saw that the crime scene was already set up and the Road Crew had escaped already.)
Max: "Darn, we missed them."
(Max said.)
Gwen: "Let me see what else I can pick up, guys."
(Gwen said as she adjusted the radio while the others played Super Smash Bros. together.)
Ben: "Don't rush because of us."
(Ben said as he dodged Allison's Samus with his Link.)
Ben: "This is only our second match."
radio: "This is the conductor of the Continental Express."
(the radio announced.)
radio: "We're under attack at cross creek headed to Base 499 to make a delivery. Cargo in jeopardy."
Max: "Wait a minute."
(Max said.)
Max: "499 is code for a missile silo."
Allison: "Oh no."
(Allison said as she looked at them from her beanbag.)
Allison: "There's only one target around these parts that's big enough to hit with a missile."
Becky: "The new highway."
(Becky gasped.)
Shelby: "And once it's out, there'll be lots of traffic on the backroads again."
(Shelby realized.)
Shelby: "Lucky for you guys, I know a short cut to Cross Creek."
Ben: "Ready guys?"
(Ben asked as they quit the game.)
(Everyone stood up and nodded.)
Gwen: "Let's hero up."
(Gwen said as they all activated their hero suits.)
(The Rust Bucket pulled up to the Continental Express and Baron Highway activated the mechanical arm and loaded a missile after Turbine and Road Rage had incapacitated the guards.)
Baron: "The new highway grand opening ceremony is about to go out with a bang!"
(Baron Highway smiled.)
(Fortunately, our heroes arrived in Wainwright's RV and Max looked in horror at what they had done to his baby.)
Max: "Oh man."
(he said.)
Max: "What did they do to her?"
Baron: "Time to barbecue up some tailgaters!"
(Baron Highway said as he looked at the RV in the rearview mirror and activated the nitrous thrusters, sending out jets of flame from the pipes at the tail-end which the others gasped at.)
Lucky Girl: "It's attacking us!"
(Lucky Girl said.)
Max: "I know you don't mean it, girl!"
(Max said as he watched the flames come towards them.)
(Shelby swerved to the side to avoid the flames as the Omni Twins nodded and went to the door and opened it before activating their Omnitrixes.)
Omni-Green: "Time for us to hitch a ride, sis."
(Omni-Green nodded.)
Jen: "You know it, bro."
(Jen said as they slammed the cores down and transformed in a flash of green and pink light.)
(Ben's Omnitrix sunk into his arm and his skin turned black and green lines of energy scrawled their way across his body as his clothes and hair vanished into his body and his eyes merged into one and merged into a circle before he struck a pose as he finished his transformation.)
(Jen's Omnitrix sank into her wrist as her entire body degenerated itself into purple sludge before going splat on the ground before twisting and morphing itself back into Jen's body shape with a lighter purple on her chest and legs to represent her clothing.)
(Four small tendrils grew out of her face before she backflipped and struck a pose and her transformation finished.)
(Upgrade and Sludgeshifter looked at each other and nodded.)
Upgrade: "Actually, you hitch the ride, sis."
(Upgrade smiled.)
Upgrade: "I'll just become it."
(He crawled up onto the RV before oozing his way onto the train while Sludgeshifter stretched her arms upwards and grabbed onto the train before she slingshot herself over to it and glared at the tricked out Rust Bucket.)
Shelby: "Those are quite the grandchildren you've got there."
(Shelby told Max.)
Max: "I know."
(Max sighed.)
Max: "You mind if I drive for a bit?"
(Baron Highway used the Rust Bucket's arm to try to grab another missile before Upgrade suddenly merged with it and grabbed Road Rage with it instead.)
(Turbine shouted up and tried to save her partner before Sludgeshifter suddenly shot in and tackled her back as she shouted out as she hit the wall.)
Sludgeshifter: "If you touched my guitar, lady."
(Sludgeshifter said as Turbine reached for her blaster and fired about ten rounds into Sludgeshifter, which she didn't even bother to avoid.)
(Turbine stared in awe as the holes in Sludgeshifter's body just reformed themselves due to body's inconsistent structure and she smirked.)
Sludgeshifter: "Yeah, that's not going to work this time, bub."
(she smirked.)
(She then morphed her arms into spiked mallets and charged towards the group as Upgrade glared at Baron Highway, who quickly detached the arm from the Rust Bucket.)
(Luckily, Upgrade grabbed onto the train and glared outwards at the road pirates.)
(Sludgeshifter, Turbine and Road Rage glared at each other as Sludgeshifter avoided their blows before leaping up and giving a flying kick to Turbine's chest before stretching her arms out and slamming Road Rage in the head.)
(As they recovered on the ground, everyone looked up to see the train take on Upgrade's color as his eye suddenly glared at Turbine and Road Rage.)
Upgrade: "What's wrong? Never seen a train come alive before?"
(Sludgeshifter smirked and then dissolved her body into a pile of mud as Upgrade closed the walls of the train onto Turbine and Road Rage, who shouted out in pain.)
Road Rage: "Take this!"
(Road Rage said as he slammed a hammer onto the side.)
Turbine: "Open wide and say 'Aah!'"
(Turbine said as she pressed a wench into the walls and brought them apart, allowing them to squeeze away.)
Sludgeshifter: "You can't get away from us that easy, sleazy!"
(Sludgeshifter said as she slithered after them through the walls as they escaped through the closing doors.)
(Upgrade glared after them and de-merged himself from the train and followed them along with his formless sister.)
(The deluxe RV dodged the lasers coming from the rear bumper of the tricked-out Rust Bucket as Turbine and Road Rage climbed to the top of the train as the twins followed them as Upgrade formed a wave of himself after them.)
Upgrade: "Surf's up!"
(Thinking quickly, the two road pirates leaped off the train and activated parachutes, which they used to fly down to their vehicles as Sludgeshifter glared.)
Sludgeshifter: "Rats! That is just so unfair!"
Upgrade: "Uh-oh!"
(Upgrade said as the twins gasped and then dissolved their bodies into puddles to avoid going splat against the oncoming tunnel entrance.)
(Meanwhile, Lucky Girl, Huntress and Matter Girl glared from the back as they prepared their powers and weapons while Max glared.)
Max: "Let's see if there's anything on this thing for us to fight back with."
(Max said as he flipped a few dials and then pressed a few buttons and he heard a shifting and a coffee maker came up, causing the superheroines to facepalm and shake their heads.)
Max: "Heated seats and a cappuccino machine?"
Huntress: "I guess the Rust Bucket wasn't so useless after all."
(Huntress said.)
(Everyone heard a jolt from the sides of the vehicle as they felt themselves getting rammed by Road Rage's tow truck and Turbine's muscle car.)
Matter Girl: "Okay, that's it!"
(Matter Girl said, a savage look on her face as she glared.)
Matter Girl: "Lucky Girl, you've got my back?"
Lucky Girl: "You know it, Matter Girl."
(Lucky Girl nodded.)
(She glared and looked towards the trophies on the shelf and glared.)
Matter Girl: "Sorry, Mr. Wainwright. Duty calls."
(She then grabbed the trophies and absorbed the gold material from them.)
Matter Girl: "Max, get ahead of them."
Max: "With pleasure."
(He stepped on the gas as Matter Girl tossed the trophies out the window, slashing Road Rage's tires before she leaped out the window herself with a savage look upon her face as she growled at Road Rage.)
(Road Rage screamed in horror as she opened the hood, morphed her hands into hatchets and went completely berserk, slahsing the engine wires before she completely lifted it out and tossed it to the side before she leaped off and was caught with Lucky Girl's telekinesis as she waved goodbye as Road Rage's tow-truck skidded to a stop before falling on it's side.)
Road Rage: "Dang!"
(he said, slamming down on the hood and triggering the air bag.)
(Turbine glared after them in her muscle car as Upgrade, merged with the train with Sludgeshifter hanging on for dear life inside, sped by at incredibly fast speeds.)
Upgrade: "Who needs train tracks?!"
(Upgrade shouted.)
Max: "Ben, Jen, stop the Rust Bucket!"
Sludgeshifter: "With pleasure, Grandpa!"
(Sludgeshifter shouted through cupped hands before she readied herself and Upgrade sped after the Rust Bucket.)
(Huntress, Matter Girl and Lucky Girl glared out the windshield as they saw Turbine peel in front of them while Lucky Girl scoffed.)
Lucky Girl: "That is it! I have so had enough of you!"
(Lucky Girl shouted as she flipped through her spellbook.)
Lucky Girl: "Terra Tremo Eradico!"
(A nearby fruit stand suddenly broke apart and sent the fruits flying outwards at Turbine's muscle car, blinding her from view as a ramp sudddenly formed from the stand's awning.)
Huntress: "Buh-bye, psychopath!"
(Huntress said as she fired an arrow frmo out the window, slashing Turbine's back tire, and sending her careening through the road and off of the ramp, crashing through a billboard.)
(She glared out, dazed before she climbed out and leaped onto the roof of the deluxe RV as it chased after the Rust Bucket.)
