Gwen 10

Episode 12 - side effects.

Our episode starts with a highspeed chase down a city street as a criminal is riding along on a hot rod, the rustbucket not to far behind.

Ben: where is she?

Max: she was trying to get XLR8, maybe the omnitrix messed up on her again.

Ben: yeah, I think it did.

From the side of the rustbucket, an upgraded motorcycle catches up. While the top and the wheels of the motorcycle where the same black with pink circuitry that upgrade usualy was, the omnitrix was resting on eh side of the Moter cycle, the sides being white. As she continues to catch up to the criminal, she found herself, sneezing. Shooting herself forward and spikes out of the wheels. She managed to line up herself up so that the next time she sneezed, the spikes would ram into the wheels of the hot rod, making the tires deflate and the criminal go flying off it. She de merged from the motorcycle, it slightly moving from the force of her pulling herself off and she stood, slightly hunched and as she sneezed again, part of her arms went flying off before crawling their way back to her. The rust bucket catched up and Gwen hid behind a building, timing out before getting into the rust bucket.

Max: what happened out there?

Gwen: I don't know, one minute I'm fine, and the next minute I'm sneezing and creating new upgrades for that thing.

Max pulled out a thermomotor and he takes her temperature. 101 degrees.

Max: I knew that chasing those circus freaks through the sewers wasn't going to do you any good.

Gwen: what was I meant to do? Let them just get away?

Max: no, but you've got a summer cold.

Ben looks at her and then back out at the hot rod.

Ben: looks like being sick messed with upgrade.

Max: which is odd considering that upgrade isn't even organic.

Ben stares at him in confusion as Gwen was to focus on her now sore throat.

Max: I mean, anything organic probably couldn't do what upgrade does.

Gwen: do we have any cold medicine?

Max: I know of something that'll work much better than any modern-day cold medicine. My old San Ju Yen Pien recipe would clear that up in an instant.

Ben: your what?

Max: my San Ju Yen Pien. It always makes me feel better when I get sick. Come on, we just need to grab a few ingredients.

And while the Tennysons drive off, clany is busy defending him home from being torn down. Clancy stood with silky blue skin and cloths that showed that he was living on the streets, gathering what every he could to survive. He lived in a rundown building and the people who ran the city needed to take it down.

Bob: sorry clany but this building is a hazard, not just to you but to everybody else who lives in this city.

Clancy: no, you won't be allowed to tear down my home, it's all I've got.

Joe: sorry Clancy, but we gave you ample time to find a new hole to live in.

Clancy is furious and he extends his arms, an army of wasps extending out from his sleeve and taking the other two into the air, stinging them and Clancy stepped forward.

Clancy: if you destroy my home, if you leave me and my friends with nowhere to live, we'll just have to take your homes.

He lets them go as a sadistic smile crosses his face. Knowing that this message wasn't going to reach the person who he needed it to. So, he encases himself in a crowed of bugs and he flies off, soon managing to get where he needed to. However, at the same time, the Tennysons had just left a store with max complaining.
