Vendetta (Ben 10: Alien Force)

[dramatic music plays .]

[alarm sounds .]

GUARDS: Halt! Return to your cell! Halt! Return to your cell! Halt! Return to your cell! Halt! Return to your cell! [siren wails .]

[ monsters screeching .]

[ monsters screeching .]

[grunts .]

[ metal clanking .]

[grunts .]

[ clank! .]

RATH: You tin cans want to tangle with Rath?! Come on! Let's do it! There's enough of me for the lot of you! Wait -- new plan.

Run away! Run away! Bad idea.

[grunts .]

Lady or the tiger, boys -- your choice.

Okay, not really.

[ metal creaks .]

Want to try for two falls out of three? [groans .]

Huh? Be that way.

See if I care.

So, the Forever Knights aren't sneaking around anymore? They're definitely getting bolder.

But they're not getting any smarter.

Come on.

Hop in.

I'll drop you guys off at home.

Can we stop by Mr.

Smoothy's on the way? Not tonight.

I've got to get home.

To be honest, I'm surprised you even have a home.

Nice.

[engine turns over.]

[tires squeal .]

I don't really stay there, but my mom needed a place.

So, that garage your friend lets you use It's at my mom's place.

What? You think I live in a tent in the woods? Either there or in some cool underground cave.

[ chuckles .]

[tires squeal .]

What do you know? I'm actually on time for a -- no! Mom?! Mom?! Please! Kevin.

I was out shopping.

What happened here? It -- it looks like we were robbed.

The TV's still here, and your jewelry box.

Looks more like the place was searched.

Searched? KEVIN: Ugh.

Look what they did! Honey, there's something I should have told you a long time ago.

BEN: Hey, Gwen, "if a sailboat drops a 355-foot anchor line and drifts until the line is tight and the anchor line makes an angle of 80 degrees with the water line, how deep is the water?" Just curious? Oh, you know me.

I like to think about things.

If I give you the answers, you'll never learn anything.

Hey, I thought no child was supposed to be left behind.

KEVIN: If you don't pass trig, I'm pretty sure that's not true.

I thought you had plans.

What's up? Need some answers.

Forget it.

She won't even give me one lousy answer.

Not a joke, Tennyson.

What can either of you tell me about an alien creep called Ragnarok? Never heard of him.

What are you working on? None of your business.

I need to find the guy is all.

We'll help.

I didn't ask for help.

I asked for information.

If you don't have any, stay out of this.

[door closes .]

Right.

Like that's gonna happen.

I'll get my jacket.

MAX: Ben, Gwen.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

You kids interested in one of my famous wombat omelets? Maybe later.

Grandpa, have you ever heard of someone called Ragnarok? [ pan clatters .]

Where did you hear that name? From Kevin.

He's out looking for the guy.

We're trying to help.

Then he must have found out.

Found out what? It started years ago, while I was still an active Plumber.

DEVIN: Max, he's getting closer! I had a young partner in those days -- an energetic, likable fella.

Ship won't go any faster, Devin.

Have you tried flapping your arms? He really wants back what you took from him.

What else was I supposed to do? The guy steals the energy from stars for a living and sells it to the highest bidder, remember? I wasn't about to let him suck our sun dry and kill 6 billion people.

So you stole the key that activates his energy vortex.

I know.

I'm the one who bailed your butt out of there.

Thanks, by the way.

Now drive faster.

[ both grunt .]

[ beeping .]

Blast took out our engine coupling.

Shields are down.

We're dead in space.

Where did you hide my key? Well, that's a whole lot of useless.

[grunts .]

I'm gonna try for the Null Void projector.

[ beeping .]

MAX: Aah! I'm empty.

Devin, don't! You know what could happen if you use your powers.

I know what will happen if I don't.

[grunts .]

Aah! This is not my day.

Enough games.

Where is my key? Have you tried checking under the couch? How noble -- willing to sacrifice yourself for your principles.

But will you be quite so cavalier with the life of your partner? No! Don't worry about me, Devin.

If the choice is me or the solar system, it's no choice at all.

Last chance -- my key or your friend.

Which will it be? You'll get nothing from me.

Your friend it is, then.

Devin! You'll pay for that, monster! RAGNAROK: [screams .]

Ragnarok? In the Null Void, where he belongs.

You -- you just rest easy.

You're gonna be okay.

We both know that's not true, pal.

Still, it's not a bad way to go -- saving the world.

Devin, no! No, stay with me! I'll always be with you, Max.

You tell my wife and son I love them.

I will, old friend.

You have my word.

I promise they'll be proud.

We tried to find Ragnarok 's ship, but it disappeared when he was sucked into the Null Void.

But what does Kevin want with him? My partner's name was Devin Levin.

Ragnarok is the monster who murdered Kevin 's father.

[glass breaks .]

[ clattering .]

Where is it, Plumber? Where did you hide it? What difference does it make? You'll never get to use it.

You're an Osmosian.

Yes.

Who are you? My name is Kevin Ethan Levin.

You killed my father.

Prepare to die! Aaaaaagh! So, the Plumber spawned before I eliminated him, eh? Then you can tell me where to find my key.

Not even if I knew, murderer.

[ panting .]

The key -- now! Never happen! We tracked you with your Plumber's badge.

I told you to stay out of this! Since when have we ever listened to you? Lodestar! A Biot-savartian? Interesting.

My magnetic personality makes me more than a match for you.

No! Kevin, what are you doing? He's mine! This is obviously a waste of time.

The key isn't here, but I will find it.

Gone.

This is all your fault! You let him get away.

I told you not to butt in! We're your friends, Kevin.

We're not letting you go through this alone.

We're gonna help you capture this creep if it's the last thing we do.

Right.

Capture.

So this key he's looking for -- do you know where it is? Not a clue.

Are you sure? Maybe you just don't know you know.

What do you mean? If the information is buried deep in your subconscious, maybe I can help you find it.

You serious? Serious as Ben's trig final.

This won't hurt.

I promise.

That's it, Kevin.

I can feel our connection.

Ah! Gwen, are you okay? Couldn't be better.

I know where the key is.

[ rattling .]

[glass breaks .]

You sure about this? Trust me, Kevin.

I'm -- This is it! I hate to break it to you, Gwen, but that's just a picture.

Of me and my dad.

It's one of the few reminders I have of him.

At last.

No! Don't touch that! Ingenious, your father.

KEVIN: Give it back.

We've already played this game, whelp.

You know how it ends.

Then let's try it with a new player.

Diamondhead! You are truly beginning to annoy me.

No extra charge.

It's part of the service.

Ready to quit? I've wasted enough time with this inanity.

Time to finish a job that has gone waiting for far too long.

My ship returned from hyperspace, where it has been hidden all these years.

It's only the key which holds my ship in this dimension.

Call it a safety precaution.

There's nowhere you can hide from me.

I'm about to extinguish your son, Levin.

Your world will die.

We shall not meet again.

BEN: Too late.

Gwen: Maybe not.

He's pulled that trick one too many times.

I locked on to his energy signature just as he teleported.

If I did this right, maybe we can piggyback on the same signal.

Then what are we waiting for? [electricity crackles .]

Ugh.

That trip make anyone else seasick? Ugh! Man up, Tennyson.

Where's Ragnarok? No sign of him.

We'll split up and search.

You go port, I'll do starboard.

Hey, who died and made you boss? If you've got a problem with it, you.

Hey! We can cover more ground this way.

Come on! I've never seen Kevin like this.

It's like he's a different person.

He's going through a lot, Ben.

He idolizes his father, and -- we have to find Ragnarok before Kevin does.

I'm afraid of what he might do.

Kevin? Come on.

He talks all tough, but he would never -- Guys, quick! Come here! This way! I found him! Better be ready for any-- hey, what is this? It's an escape pod.

This isn't funny, Levin! Let us out! Just remember, Tennyson -- I asked you to stay out of this.

Oh, Kevin.

What have you done? There's got to be a way for us to get back there.

It's on autopilot to Earth.

No controls, no space suits.

Kevin is on his own.

Just like he planned it.

[ beeping .]

[spaceship whirring .]

RAGNAROK: Energy vortex activated.

Commencing solar-power drain in five, four, three, two -- KEVIN: Done! You again.

I should have eliminated you when I had the chance.

Your mistake.

[spaceship whirring .]

[electricity crackles .]

This time I'll finish the job.

One of us will.

[grunting .]

Stop! You don't know what you're doing! I know exactly what I'm doing.

I'm saving the Earth and avenging my dad! The energy vortex has a delicate balance.

Disrupt its control feed and it can implode! Thanks for the tip.

[grunting .]

Aah! [spaceship whirring .]

[electricity crackles .]

The vortex is destabilized! Please, take my hand! Save me! Save you? You killed my dad, remember? Yes, your father.

He was a Plumber, an honorable man.

He would never let anyone die if he could help it.

Please! For your father.

No! For my father.

Kevin! Oh, Kevin! He was a hero, Gwen, right to the very end.

KEVIN: And then some.

Nice to know you guys appreciate me.

You're alive?! I was worried! Hey, I'm a survivor, remember? Guess I got it from my dad.

Like saving the world.

And Ragnarok? Didn't make it.
