From Hedorium to Eternity

Ben 10: Omniverse Season 8 - Episode 1

Young Ben: Behold my mad skills! My corner kick against the McDuffie in the finals is a thing of a legend.

Young Gwen: [ Scoffs ] More like fairy tale.

Young Ben: Pfft. Whatever. [ Grunts ] Stee-rike! And that is how it's done. Any questions?

Young Gwen: Yeah. Why is Mr. Baumann wearing a tuxedo?

Young Ben: Hot date, Mr. Baumann?

Ignacius Baumann: Housewarming party at the old Collins house. Fancy dress -- No kids allowed.

Young Lucy: The old haunted Collins house?

[ Animal howls ]

Ignacius Baumann: Really, Lucy, there's no such thing as ghosts. The house is just old, not haunted.

Young Gwen: Who'd buy that old dump, anyway?

Ignacius Baumann: Nobody bought it. Thaddeus J. Collins inherited it. Don't you kids follow the local news?

Young Ben: Uh, no, 'cause we're kids. Duh.

Ignacius Baumann: Mind your manners, young man. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late, and Mr. Collins is serving Dim Sum.

Young Ben: It's all about Eyeball-to-Soccer-ball coordination.

Young Gwen: You mean like this? [ Grunts ]

Young Lucy: [ Grunts ] Yeah! Girls rule! Boys drool! [ Laughs, snorts ]

Young Ben: Oh. So, we're allowed to use our alien powers now? Stand back. (Ben transforms into Upchuck)

Young Upchuck: [ Belches ]

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

[ Horn honking, alarm blaring ]

Young Gwen: [ Gasps ]

[ Honking and blaring stop ]

Young Ben: Before you say anything, Mr. Baumann, it was an accident. I'm so sorry. But it was totally Gwen's fault.

Young Gwen: Hey!

Ignacius Baumann: Accidents happen, Ben.

Young Gwen: You're not mad?

Ignacius Baumann: Got to get inside. Too bright out here

Young Ben: Uh, the Sun set an hour ago.

Ignacius Baumann: It's so good to see young people playing out in the fresh air.

Young Ben: Uh... What just happened? [ Snoring ] Huh? Mr. Baumann, it's 1:00 A.M.! [ Yawning ] What are you doing? Mr. Baumann?

Young Lucy: Sounds like a strange dream, all right. [ Laughs ]

Young Ben: It seemed so real, though.

Young Gwen: Yeah-- Real boring. I had an awesome dream last night where we were fighting Vilgax, and --

Young Lucy: An invisible dog?!

Young Gwen: [ Scoffs ] No. What?

Young Ben: Uh, hey, Mister. You forget something?

[ Grunts ]

Young Gwen: Excuse us.

Random Civilian: Thank you, dears. Such well-mannered children. Here. Have some pickled Cow Tongues.

Young Ben: [ Blech ]

Young Lucy: Did you see her eye?

Young Ben: Just like Mr. Baumann.

Young Gwen: Maybe there's a pink-eye epidemic or a high pollen count?

Young Ben: Whatever it is, it's making people act really weird.

Young Gwen: Not people. Just grown-ups.

Young Lucy: Yeah! [ Laughs, snorts ] We're all fine, aren't we?

Young Ben: Let me see your eyes.

Young Lucy: Can you see mine? [ Snorts ]

Young Gwen: Yeah.

Young Lucy: Okay? Can you look a little closer? A little closer!

Young Ben: Yeah, you're okay. Looks fine. How 'bout you Jonesy? Have you noticed all the grown-ups in town suddenly acting crazy?

Jonesy: Grown-ups always act crazy.

School Bus Driver: Climb aboard... children.

All: Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Jonesy: Why am I screaming?!

School Bus Driver: Oh. Whew! Got it. That darn eyelash has been bothering me all morning. Children?

Young Ben: You got to believe us, Grandpa Max. All the grown-ups are in town are freaking out!

Max: Well, I'm not.

Young Gwen: But everybody else we've seen is.

Jonesy: I'll agree with them, but I still don't know what's going on.

Max: I'm sure it's nothing. Sometimes adults can be driven to their wits' end by you kids, uh, your -- How shall we say? -- Youthful enthusiasm

Young Lucy: But Mr. Baumann was totally fine until he came back from the old Collins house.

Young Ben: Yeah. Suddenly, he was... nice.

Young Gwen: To Ben.

Max: [ Gasps ] Something's definitely wrong.

[ Crow cawing ]

Jonesy: He's been in there a long time, you guys

Young Ben: I'm going in after him.

[ All gasp ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

Max: There's nothing to worry about, children.

All: Aaaaaaaaah!

Max: Mr. Collins is a good neighbor.

Young Gwen: Yeah, good at stealing your brain!

Young Lucy: And messing with your eyeball!

Max: It's so nice to see young people using their imaginations these days.

Young Gwen: Grandpa?

Young Ben: We're gonna need backup

[ Ringing ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Young Cooper: Hello?

Young Ben: Cooper, I need you to build something high-techy to spy inside the old Collins house.

Young Cooper: Come on Ben, Haunted houses are a bunch of superstitious nonsense. I got better things to do

Young Ben: Sorry, Gwen! Cooper can't help! He's got better things to do!

Young Cooper: Gwen?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Young Cooper: Hey.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Young Lucy: Wow! [ Snorts ] Your techno-pathetic powers are awesome!

Young Cooper: Techno-pathic, and, yes, they are. Behold the surveillance spider!

Jonesy: How's it work?

Young Cooper: Perfectly. Oh, you mean... It'll go look inside the old Collins' house while we watch a live video feed on Gwen's computer.

Young Gwen: That's amazing.

Young Cooper: [ Blushes ] You're amazing

Young Ben: Ugh. Just say, "Thanks," Gwen.

[ Whirring ]

Jonesy: They say the guy who built the old Collins house was a Werewolf and that he's immortal, kept young and hungry by a painting of a bowl of fruit in the attic that ages instead of him. It's what...they...say

[ Yowls ]

All: Aaaaah!

[ Yowls ]

Young Ben: Relax. It's just a cat.

Young Gwen: Then why did you scream?

Young Ben: I didn't want you guys to be embarrassed if no one else screamed. Just trying to help

Young Gwen: Keep telling yourself that. Huh?

[ Static ]

Young Lucy: What happened?

Young Cooper: This can't be right These readings say the Surveillance Spider is 1,300 feet underground.

Young Gwen: Underground? What could be down there?

Young Ben: Let's go inside and find out for ourselves.

Jonesy: On a School night?

Young Ben: Don't come if you're scared

Jonesy: I'm not. Mom and Dad like me to get a good night's sleep so I can do my best at School.

Young Lucy: Well, if your Mom and Dad are pod people, they're not gonna care how you do in School. [ Laughs, Snorts ]

[ Hinges creak ]

Young Cooper: We could hold hands, Gwen, you know, I-if you want.

Young Gwen: I'm good. Thanks.

Young Ben: [ Smooching ]

Jonesy: Guys, where's Lucy?

Young Lucy: I was trying to sneak a peek at whatever's going on in here, until you blew my cover.

Jonesy: Well, excuse me for being concerned about your safety.

Young Lucy: Do me a favor -- Don't.

Young Ben: Everyone just chill and follow me.

All: Aaaaaaaah!

Jonesy: We're about to become human pancakes! I hate pancakes!

Young Ben: Come on, Omnitrix! Give me something that can fly! And for the record, pancakes rule! (Ben transforms into Way Big)

Young Way Big: Way Big? Way awesome!

Young Cooper: We're falling a quarter of a mile at the rate of 30 feet per second! You know what that means?

Jonesy: Pancakes!

Young Lucy: Would you quit it?!

Young Way Big: Whoa! Whoa!

[ All grunt ]

Young Gwen: Looks like Way Big is way too big.

Young Way Big: Oh, that was so funny, I forgot to laugh.

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

All: Aaah!

Young Gwen: Illuminatus

Jonesy: Whoa. What is this place?

Young Cooper: Looks like a whole system of underground caves

Young Ben: Who knew this was under Bellwood?

Young Kevin: Never thought I'd be glad to see your ugly face again, Tennyson.

Young Ben: Kevin?!

Young Gwen: Kevin Levin?

Jonesy: You know this guy?

Young Ben: Unfortunately, but he's supposed to be locked away in the Null Void.

Jonesy: The what what?

Young Kevin: I hitched a ride out with Thaddeus J. Collins. He brought me here to mine Hedorium.

Young Ben: Sure, he did.

Young Cooper: You can create an endless supply of this stuff?

Young Gwen: What does Mr. Collins want it for?

Young Kevin: Beats me.

Jonesy: So, you're mining an unknown substance for a total stranger for unknown reasons in a mysterious underground tunnel?

Young Kevin: Well, when you put it that way...

Young Ben: And you just decided to help him out of the goodness of your heart, huh, Mr. Nice Guy?

Young Kevin: You got me Thaddeus said once I make him enough Hedorium, he'll sever my connection to the Null Void, okay? Plumbers' snake. Keeps me from straying too far from that interdimensional monkey on my back

Young Cooper: The science behind this is amazing! Plumber techs must be geniuses

Young Kevin: Study it later, man. First, disconnect me.

Young Ben: How dense do you think we are?

Young Gwen: You were sent to the Null Void for a reason, Kevin.

Young Ben: Crazy, evil, tried to destroy me -- Any of this ring a bell?

Young Kevin: But you have to help me. You're the good guys.

Young Ben: Try again.

Young Kevin: Thaddeus captured me.

Young Lucy: You said you volunteered

Young Kevin: Dude, what if the world is doomed or something? Are you gonna pass on saving the entire Earth from Collins just to get back at me?

Jonesy: Does this stuff happen to you guys all the time? 'Cause this is, like, crazy!

Young Ben: You;d better hope the world really is doomed, or you're toast, man. Jonesy, Lucy, let's get out of here. We've got to find out what Mr. Collins is up to.

Young Gwen: What about Cooper and me?

Young Ben: You two stay here and deal with Kevin.

Young Cooper: Thank you, Universe.
