Plot

Ben is sick as a result of the Krellick scratch. His friends travel to Forest World to get the antidote but wind up in a huge battle against the Krellicks. They are losing when Veronica saves the day.

Ben's Krellick scratch means that he is bedridden for a week, and he's not happy about it. He was to be a major participant in the school's beach sports carnival. Katherine visits to grudgingly thank Veronica for turning the art exhibition into a success, and is dismayed to see how sick Ben is. When Veronica announces that there is an antidote (boiled Krellick sting) but that she is too busy to get it, Katherine decides to get it herself. Meanwhile, Francis Thief - now calling himself Francis Zapmeister - has also agreed to get Ben the antidote in exchange for the directions to Forest World. As part of his attempts to impress Una, he agrees to show her and Due the Parallax. They visit Katherine's world, where Melinda learns about Ben's illness. When Francis, Una and Due leave for Forest World, she follows to make sure they get the antidote. Francis Zapmeister, Una, Due and Melinda meet Mundi, who tells them that Krellicks can be killed by squirting them with water. Thinking quickly, Francis gets some water pistols, and they take on the Krellicks on the forest floor. The battle is going well until the water runs out and the Krellicks bring in reinforcements. Katherine arrives, having managed to cut off a Krellick's tail, but she is quickly surrounded by angry Krellicks. Francis runs back for more water. Luckily, Veronica arrives and uses the Stave to fight off the Krellicks, winning the battle. However, she isn't impressed to find Una, Due, Katherine and Melinda running through the Parallax - and she doesn't even know about Francis Zapmeister. She returns home to give Ben the antidote, who is fighting fit in no time. Meanwhile, Francis has scored mega points with Una and Due, who are very excited about the adventures the Parallax has to offer.
