Korra: "So."
(Korra said as the group followed Hector.)
Korra: "The Fountain of Youth is real."
Hector: "Yes. Or rather, the Fountains of Youth are real. There's more than one in the world."
(Hector said.)
Hector: "It was decided back then that they would remain a secret."
Scarlett: "But wait about the rumors of the Fountain of Youth through the centuries?"
Hector: "It was a rumor made up to protect them so people would only pursue and never find the others."
(Hector said.)
Hector: "As for the one in the New World, I alone was chosen by Ponce de Leon and bound by honor to look over it for all of eternity."
Allison: "So that was you as that Spanish soldier carved into the inscription."
(Allison theorized.)
(Hector nodded.)
Becky: "But that would make you over 400 years old."
(Becky said.)
Hector: "Yes."
(Hector said.)
Hector: "Drinking the water from the Fountain of Youth will allow me to live forever."
Max: "Staying young forever."
(Max said.)
Max: "Now that's a dream come true."
Hector: "More like a nightmare."
(Hector said.)
Hector: "Immortality is both a blessing and a curse. I have been unable to fall in love or start a family like yours knowing that they would grow older while I did not. Time is your friend, not your enemy. Appreciate what you have."
Scarlett: "Ahem."
(Scarlett cleared her throat.)
Scarlett: "Forgive me, but I'm an immortal myself. It's a hereditary thing since my grandmother was an Amazon. You actually chose to keep drinking the water and remaining eternal. I had no choice in the matter. It's different for us."
(Hector nodded.)
Korra: "Why weren't you affected by the water?"
(Korra asked her.)
Korra: "You drank it too."
Scarlett: "I think it doesn't work on me because I'm already immortal by birth."
(Scarlett shrugged.)
Scarlett: "That means that it wouldn't work on Drake Flame either."
Becky: "Okay, that makes sense."
(Becky said.)
(They looked to see Wildpup and Wildkitten close by as Wildkitten groomed herself and Wildpup scratched behind his ear as the Omnitrixes timed out, leaving the Omni-Toddlers still ongoing before they immediately stopped in realization.)
Ben: "Aw man!"
(Ben said.)
Ben: "Fleas!"
(They were instantly snatched up by Max and Allison and the group ran as fast as they could through the field with Scarlett smiling as she and Korra decided to give the twins a piggyback ride, much to their delight.)
Hector: "But now Hex knows the Fountain's secret location."
(Hector said.)
Gwen: "And he's gotten more powerful after every drink."
(Gwen said.)
Gwen: "That's not good."
Becky: "There's no way that we can let Hex be around forever."
(Becky said.)
Max: "But how can we get to the fountain before he does?"
(Max asked.)
Hector: "I've collected a few things over the years."
(Hector smiled.)
(Pretty soon afterwards, Hector drove a Jeep towards the Fountain as Hope and Lucky Girl levitated beside it while Scarlett and Korra rode on Oleander right beside it.)
(Matter Girl, Huntress, and Max sat in the passenger seats of the Jeep while Ben and Jen were stuck in booster seats.)
Jen: "This is not cool!"
(Jen pouted.)
Matter Girl: "Get over it, you big baby!"
(Matter Girl told her as Jen quivered her lip at her and gave her the puppy dog eyes.)
Matter Girl: "Oh no! Not the puppy dog eyes!"
(Not long afterwards, our heroes suddenly found themselves in the path of a monstrous plant monster with tons of Venus flytrap-like heads and thorned vine tentacles.)
Everyone: "Hex!"
(Everyone shouted as the monster shot out its vines at them and grabbed the Jeep, quickly dismantling it in an explosion as everyone was thrown away and quickly ran down the vines, dodging the monster's snapping heads as they ran for their lives.)
(Ben and Jen, however, were stuck in their booster seats falling down and screaming their little heads off.)
(But Scarlett and Korra swooped in on Oleander and snatched the booster seats upwards and unfastened the seatbelts.)
Jen: "We had it under control, you know."
(Jen said as she adjusted the dial on her Omnitrix.)
Korra: "You're welcome."
(Korra said as Scarlett bared her sword and hiked up her horse as Korra's eyes started to glow white.)
(Korra levitated in the air on an airspout generated from her legs before she lifted up two major pieces of earth and degenerated it into pebble bullets that she used to pelt the monstrous plant, severing a few of its vines as she used her airbending to move around while Scarlett ran in and used her swords to slice up the vines that came near her with a shout and grunt of effort each as she looked up to see their friends dangling from the heads of the plant.)
(Hope flew overhead and shouted out as she fired pink beams of magic from her eyes, blasting off pieces of the monster as she dodged its vines while the twins looked below.)
Ben: "Going hero!"
(Ben shouted as they slammed the cores down, transforming into...)
Stinkyfly: "Before there was Stinkfly, I was Stinkyfly!"
(Ben shouted.)
Flickerfly: "And I'm Flickerfly!"
(Jen cheered as she noticed she lacked the crown-like horns that Firefly normally had.)
(The pair then flew upwards whooping and firing their heat beams and noxious gas clouds, which caused the plant to either burn or shrivel up and die.)
(Stinkyfly flew upwards and saw Scarlett and Korra blasting out fire and slicing the heads away with their swords and elemental powers.)
(He saw Max terrorized by several plant heads and Stinkyfly used his razor-sharp tail to slice the heads off and grab Max by the pants and he smiled.)
Lucky Girl: "Alright, Ben!"
(Lucky Girl shouted before she gasped before she, Matter Girl, Huntress and Hector were caught by more heads while Hope flew around, dodging the plant heads and firing out spell blasts with a shout of effort for each one.)
(Our heroes regrouped as Scarlett flew by on Oleander and sliced off the heads that were holding her friends as Korra fired out a water whip, slicing off the heads as Stinkyfly glared.)
Stinkyfly: "Can't catch what you can't see!"
(He then shot out his slime blasts from his eyes, blinding the plants (although they didn't have eyes anyway) and glared as Scarlett grabbed Matter Girl and Huntress while Korra deactivated the Avatar State and grabbed Max and Hector and hit the ground.)
Flickerfly: "You guys have heard of silent but deadly."
(Flickerfly said as she prepared her fireballs.)
Flickerfly: "Well here's hot and deadlier!"
(She and Stinkyfly flew in and fired out several blasts of fire, slime and noxious gas while also slicing through the heads with their thick claws and tail, causing the plants to shrivel up and die before Flickerfly and Stinkyfly flew out of the gas cloud and Flickerfly flew in and fired her heat ray downwards to detonate the gas, resulting in a huge explosion that took out a small number of trees.)
(Scarlett smiled and took an orange that fell from one of the trees and took a bite of it, satisfied.)
Max: "Nice work, guys."
(Max said as they all ran away from the scene as Matter Girl sighed.)
Matter Girl: "Guess that we're walking the rest of the way."
(she said.)
Hector: "Follow me."
(Hector said.)
Hector: "We're almost there."
