Blukic and Driba Go to Mr. Smoothy's

Blukic and Driba Go to Mr. Smoothy's is the fourth episode of the second season of Ben 10: Omniverse, and the fourteenth episode overall.
==Synopsis==
The Plumbers' resident geniuses, Blukic and Driba, set off to find some smoothies. Meanwhile, Ben and Rook try to stop Trombipulor from gaining the source of absolute power.
==Plot==
The episode begins with Trombipulor having returned to Earth seeking a mysterious "ultimate power". Ben, having transformed into Four Arms, pins Trombipulor against a car and begins to taunt him. However, as he is about to land a blow, Trombipulor is able to block his arms and send him back with his trunk. Rook then arrives alongside some more Plumbers, but even with their help Trombipulor is able to continue fighting. Rook then contacts the Plumber Headquarters for more back-up. Despite this, Blukic and Driba are too busy messing around with the transponder to notice. The TV screen in their lab goes static, so Blukic decides to change the channel. They then see a Mr. Smoothy advertisement on TV about a new grasshopper smoothie flavor and are quickly entranced by it. The duo then decide to go out to try the new smoothie.
Back at Plumber Headquarters, Max realizes that their best chance of defeating Trombipulor is through the use of specialized equipment courtesy of Blukic and Driba. Unfortunately, the two had left him a note informing him they are out. Cutting to Blukic and Driba, the two have quickly become lost as they drive through Bellwood on their hovering vehicle. Driba attempts to use his GPS, although this proves a fruitless effort. Frustrated, they continue to their search.
As Ben and Rook continue to chase down Trombipulor, Ben asks if Rook has made contact with the Plumbers. Rook confirms he hasn't been able to, but has instead been receiving map containing the locations of the 23 Mr. Smoothy outlets in Bellwood. Ben is surprised by the existence of a 23rd Mr. Smoothy location, but prioritizes taking down Trombipulor. Transforming into Humungousaur, he charges at Trombipulor. However, not even Humungousaur is able to defeat Trombipulor, being easily lifted over his head and thrown. Trombipulor then gloats and continues his rampage as Rook checks to see if Humungousaur is okay.
Blukic and Driba, meanwhile, are on the street and come across a boy with a smoothie. They ask him while drinking his smoothie that they need his help to find the location for Mr. Smoothy. He reveals he obtained the smoothie from the nearby Fruit-n-Smoothie kiosk, disgusting the two Galvan before they drive off. Cutting back to Ben and Rook chasing Trombipulor, the villain continues to sniff out the "ultimate power". Continuing their search for a Mr. Smoothie, Driba pulls out a piece of paper pre-dating GPS technology, which Humans call a map. However, the two find it too complex to decipher and nearly crash into a bus due to not paying attention to the road. As they try to go under the bus, their vehicle hits the bottom of it and they begin to crash into Bellwood City Park.
Lost and losing hope, the two begin to squabble. Blukic notes he has to use the washroom, which Driba in turn scolds him for not doing that at Plumber Headquarters. Blukic ultimately uses a bush, much to Driba's disappointment. However, when they return to their vehicle, they find a squirrel has donned Blukic's headgear and has gotten their vehicle up and running. Blukic is delighted by this, but Driba is not, and they continue their journey on-foot. As they walk along, they soon cross paths with Trombipulor, who declares his minions had found the "sacred substance", and that he will not be denied ultimate power. He then runs past Blukic and Driba, who narrowly avoid being trampled by him. Ben and Rook catch up, and are able to get Ben's attention. They tell Ben they are lost, but Rook informs Ben that Trombipulor is getting away, cutting the conversation short. Blukic and Driba are thankful for this, however, as the discovery of an unauthorized Mr. Smoothie run could mean a demotion for them.
Still attempting to get their grasshopper smooties, Blukic and Driba check around the corner of a nearby building, only to find a cat. Although the cat hisses at them, the two mount the cat and use it as transport. The cat then begins to quickly run across the roofs of Bellwood, frightening Blukic and Driba. The cat then abruptly stops on a warehouse, sending the Galvan over the roof and onto a lower edge of the warehouse. As the two begin to realize the cat did not leave them at a Mr. Smoothie's, the cat runs away, stranding them in the area.
Meanwhile, Trombipulor arrives at the docks, with Ben and Rook still on his tail. However, Trombipulor's minions soon swarm the area, revealing themselves to be robotic mice. Trombipulor explains that he designed them after the most fearsome-looking creature in the galaxy. Ben questions Trombipulor's line of thinking, but the robotic mice's screech and protruding spikes startles both him and Rook. Trombipulor gives Ben and rook credit for being persistent, but Ben reveals he and Rook knew what Trombipulor was searching for. Before Ben can elaborate, he is overwhelmed by Trombipulor's forces and is knocked into the waters. Rook continues, explaining that he remembered a shipment of Plutonium the Plumbers had been tracking. Way Big emerges from the water, stating how obvious his plan was, but Trombipulor debunks their theory. He then jumps onto a ship and grabs a handful of peanuts, consuming them and growing nearly as tall as Way Big as a result.
As Blukic and Driba watch the fight, they are found by Trombipulor's robotic mice. Panicing, the two run away and end up sliding along a rope. Rook tells Way Big he needs to destroy the boat containing the peanuts, but he refuses as he is allergic to peanuts. Way Big and Trombipulor continue to battle, but Trombipulor gains the upper hand. Way Big then transforms into Goop, who Trombipulor in turn tries to crush with his palm. Goop then splatters onto his face, further annoying Trombipulor. Surrounded by rats on the rope, Blukic and Driba drop into the pile of peanuts below them, only to be scooped up by Trombipular and unknowingly inhaled through his trunk. Goop and Trombipulor keep fighting, until the latter notices the peanut boat has been destroyed. Frustrated, Trombipulor inhales Goop as well, which causes him some discomfort. He then sneezes, releasing Goop, Blukic and Driba. The Galvan run away, and after flying at Trombipulor and failing once again, Goop transforms into Echo Echo. Echo Echo clones himself, but is soon chased away by the swarm of robotic mice, who Blukic and Driba have mounted.
The duo fumble with wires inside the mice's heads until Blukic manages to make one turn against the rest. Driba inquires Blukic as to how he accomplished that. As Trombipulor continues to brag about his supposed victory, he begins to notice his minions are fighting each other. Terrified at the prospect of his feared mice turning against him, Trombipulor begins fighting his minions, distracting him. Noting that Trombipulor's ears have also been enlarged, Echo Echo and his clones attack him with a collection of sonic screams, finally defeating Trombipulor. Echo Echo then turns back into Ben.
Meanwhile, Blukic and Driba finally come across a Mr. Smoothy location. However, just as they reach it, the location closes for the night. As they wallow, Ben and Rook notice them and Ben offers to get them smoothies. When the clerk is alerted of his presence, he immediately reopens the location for Ben. Some time later, Ben asks Blukic and Driba, who have already consumed numerous smoothies, if going through all this trouble for smoothies was worth it, and they respond that it was. The episode then ends with Ben promising Blukic and Driba he will go with them to the elusive 23rd Mr. Smoothy's.
