(When the clock struck 11:30, the factory was still working and the team was still putting the toys together before a doll rolled by Ben on the assembly line and he twisted its head.)
doll: "I'm Spit-Up Sally. Watch me spit up. Spit up. Spit up."
(The doll's head spun around, it's mouth opened and it vomited green gunk on Ben, causing Jen and Gwen, who were standing next to him to recoil in disgust as Mr. Jingles walked by and too the doll from Ben.)
Mr. Jingles: "How will Santa ever be able to deliver this if it's not perfect!? My toys must be perfect! Everything must be perfect on Christmas! Perfect, perfect, perfect!"
(He then walked away as Jen glared and called after him.)
Jen: "What kind of kid would want a vomiting doll anyway?!"
Becky: "That's it!"
(Becky shouted.)
Becky: "I am not spending the rest of eternity making toys. I think I can actually feel my soul dying inside me!"
Allison: "You said it."
(Allison said before glaring at the head elf.)
(Elsgood then walked by them and gestured them to the giant machine in the center of the room.)
Elsgood: "That's the Jingleator. Time is running out!"
(They then saw the giant polar bear dolls walking by them before they got back to the toys for a few seconds as they walked away.)
Ben: "What we need is a distraction."
(Ben said.)
(The twins then looked towards the reindeer and then grinned to each other in mischief before Jen's hands started to glow.)
(The Spit-Up Sally doll was tossed by the reindeer.)
(One of them sniffed to investigate it and it spat up in its face, startling it and sending the rest of the reindeer into a frenzy.)
(As the guards went by to settle them down, the twins then nodded and activated their Omnitrixes with a smile.)
Ben: "All I want for Christmas are four big arms!"
(Ben shouted before he and his sister slammed down the cores, transforming into... Grey Matter and Frostblight.)
Grey Matter: "Aw man!"
(Grey Matter said.)
Grey Matter: "Hey, maybe I can work with this."
Frostblight: "Let's go!"
(Frostblight said before she grabbed her brother and flew him away towards the Jingleator.)
(On the balcony above, Mr. Jingles looked through the telescope next to max to see the ruckus the reindeer were causing, before looking to see the elves had stopped working and then to see Frostblight flying her brother towards the Jingleator.)
Mr. Jingles: "Stop them!"
(he shouted.)
(The polar bear dolls then stopped with the reindeer and ran towards the two as Frostblight glared outwards and smiled.)
Frostblight: "Not much for a sugar plum fairy, but what the heck?"
(She then inhaled a deep breath and iced the floor behind them as she flew forwards, causing the dolls to crash into the conveyor belt behind them and they flew upwards into the Jingleator, just before a toy plane crashed behind them, sending them sprawling downwards on the belt like a slide.)
(They then crashed into a present that was sliding down the belt before they were suddenly kicked away by a boot on a hook that caused them to crash land on a platform.)
(Grey Matter rubbed his bottom when he and Frostblight stood up and looked to see a bunch of floating presents leading to what appeared to be a golden star.)
(They then looked to each other and nodded before Frostblight flew ahead and Grey Matter hopped on the moving presents with a glare as he charged towards the star like a game of Frogger.)
(He then gasped as some presents crashed onto the platforms he was on before they quickly moved between to present walls closing on on one another before they somehow made it through in time and landed at the foot of the giant star.)
(Grey Matter then looked to the green orbs surrounding the star and nodded to his sister.)
Grey Matter: "The amplification of currents suggests a vision of unstable and undeterminable isotopes. Shutting down power source now!"
(He pressed his finger to the orb and the Jingleator started rumbling and flashing out light as Frostblight and Grey Matter gasped and braced themselves as they were bathed in the light.)
(Outside, the team were surrounded by the toys and gasped as they closed in on them.)
(Suddenly, the polar bear doll's eyes blacked out and they fell over, their power source depleted, followed by the rest of the toys surrounding them.)
(They gasped as the Jingleator gave off several multi-colored explosions and was completely obliterated outwards as they all gasped as they looked in the pile of rubble.)
Becky: "Ben? Jen?"
(Becky asked, concerned before the rubble shifted and Grey Matter and Frostblight came out, completely unharmed.)
Frostblight: "Oh yeah!"
(Frostblight cheered.)
Frostblight: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall!"
Mr. Jingles: "No!"
(Mr. Jingles protested before going to his joystick again.)
Mr. Jingles: "I need to assure the elves that Santa's still okay. Wave to them!"
(Max, completely free of the joystick's controls, stood up and smirked.)
Max: "Way to get it done, you two."
Mr. Jingles: "Oh, it's not working!"
(Mr. Jingles said before Max grabbed his collar.)
Max: "Come here!"
Allison: "Wait."
(Allison began as the elves looked at the rubble and the Omnitrixes timed out.)
Allison: "If we destroyed the machine, then why are we still elves? Why is there still a curse?"
Mr. Jingles: "Because now nobody will ever be able to experience the joy of Christmas!"
(Mr. Jingles said as Max dropped him by them.)
Mr. Jingles: "You will all make me more toys! More perfect toys! Without my perfect toys, what will Santa do?"
Max: "Christmas isn't about giving the perfect toy."
(Max said.)
Max: "It's about the spirit in which we give. Isn't that right kids?"
Jen: "Yeah."
(Jen said with a nod.)
Ben: "But... I bet giving me a Sumo Slammer Extreme Slamdown would make me feel real good, huh Santa?"
(Ben asked before Gwen and Jen jabbed him in the elbow.)
Ben: "Kidding! Just kidding!"
Gwen: "What my cousin means is being together is what Christmas is all about."
(Gwen said.)
Becky: "Mr. Jingles, look at these kids you've kept away from their families all these Christmases."
(Becky said.)
Becky: "They need to go home."
Mr. Jingles: "Well."
(Mr. Jingles began.)
Mr. Jingles: "Even if I wanted to give away these toys, my reindeer can't fly anymore since the Jingleator is destroyed."
Ben: "Who needs Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer when you have Stink the Gassy Alien?"
(Ben said before Jen piped up next to him.)
Jen: "And Battle the Human Butterfly!"
Allison: "I've got a bad feeling about this."
(Allison said with a sigh.)
(Later, Stinkfly and Battlefly were hooked up with reins to the sleigh, which had Max and Gwen inside.)
(Becky and Allison elected to stay behind as the sleigh could only hold Santa and one elf)
(Mr. Jingles instructed Gwen on how to use the sleigh.)
Mr. Jingles: "You adjust this dial and go wherever you want to on Earth in an instant."
Gwen: "So that's how he delivers it all in one night!"
(Gwen realized.)
Stinkfly: "Come on! Come on!"
(Stinkfly said to them before they turned to him.)
Battlefly: "We've got to go!"
(Battlefly smiled as they flew off into the night sky, sleigh in tow.)
(Naturally, they flew all around the world, delivering gifts to and from wherever they went with a smile and whooping from Battlefly.)
kid: "Christmas in summer? Cool!"
(a kid exclaimed, tearing open her gift.)
(Once they arrived back in Holiday Village to a waiting Becky and Allison, the clock struck 12 and the twins transformed back.)
Gwen: "Midnight."
(Gwen said.)
Becky: "I wonder if the curse is lifted."
(Becky asked.)
(After she said that, the night sky turned back to blue, the once deserted streets were now full of smiling happy families and the streets looked more old and worn down and the whole thing looked more like a tourist attraction than a city.)
Allison: "There's your answer, Becky."
(Allison smiled before testing her ears with a satisfied smile.)
(They looked to see Max back in his old clothes along with everyone else trasnformed back to humans.)
Jen: "Grandpa, you're back to being Grandpa!"
(Jen said.)
Ben: "And we're back to being normal."
(Ben said as Gwen sighed.)
Gwen: "Relief."
(she said before they turned to a now statutory nutcracker, which they knocked on with no response.)
(Becky then looked over to see...)
Becky: "Snow machines. Guess Holiday Village is normal too."
???: "Holiday Village is far from normal, young lady."
(a familiar voice said.)
(They all looked over to see an old man who bore a striking resemblance to Mr. Jingles walk by with three kids.)
???: "It happens to be quite special. Did you know I've been coming here every year since 1932?"
Jen: "Actually... yes."
(Jen said as she playfully nudged her brother and he giggled.)
the boy: "Grandpa Elsgood, can we go to the cocoa fountain?"
(the boy holding his hand asked as they all raised their eyebrows.)
Elsgood: "Skedaddle. I'll be right there, kids."
(he said.)
the kids: "Yay!"
(the kids all cheered as they ran off, leaving behind five stunned kids by him.)
Allison: "Elsgood?"
(Allison asked.)
Gwen: "Skedaddle?"
(Gwen asked.)
(The old man then shot them a wink before walking off.)
Ben: "So... if we broke the curse, that means that Elsgood was never trapped here in the first place."
(Ben realized.)
Jen: "But what about Mr. Jingles?"
(Jen asked.)
Max: "This might be your answer."
(Max said as he looked over to a plaque.)
Max: "'Holiday Village, founded by Thomas Jingles, 1928. It's not what we give, it's the spirit in which it is given.'"
Gwen: "Now why does that sound familiar?"
(Gwen asked with a smile.)
(Back on the road, the kids were still sweltering from the heat outside as Jen looked over to Allison with a smile.)
Jen: "So, how was your first real Christmas?"
Allison: "More fun than I expected. Can't wait to celebrate it with you for real in 5 months."
(Allison smiled as Jen jabbed her and they laughed.)
Ben: "Grandpa."
(Ben asked.)
Ben: "About us never celebrating Christmas together?"
Max: "Yes, Ben?"
(Max asked.)
Ben: "It's cool we're doing it now."
(Ben smiled.)
Gwen: "Ben's right."
(Gwen said as Becky fanned herself.)
Gwen: "But 'cool' might be the wrong word."
(The Rust Bucket's occupants all laughed at that.)
Max: "Oh what fun it is to ride in an unairconditioned sleigh!"
