OTTO Motives

2x06 - OTTO Motives Oof! Huh? Settle down, earthboy. It's just me. Cut me some slack, okay? I had to get this thing away from some pretty tough customers. Oh, poor you! I've been all over the Null Void scrounging up this stuff. My achin' pads! Kevin, Argit, my friends, this is hardly the time for lamentation. Whatever, Otto. If you can really turn this pile of junk into our "get out of jail free" card, then get to it. Yeah, we held up our part of the deal. Make with the "let's get out of here. " This is the hour of our deliverance from this ignominious penitentiary. Solid state! Just a few connections there. Now, if one of you would be so kind as to turn on the chronometric oscillator - Uh, I'll do it. - And let you mess it up? Where you come from, they still use cellphones. Fine. We'll both do it. Let's just get back to the real world. Yes! It's working! See you on the other side, hedgehog. - No! - What the?! Ben 10 he's a kid, and he wants to have fun but when you need a superhero, he gets the job done Ben 10 with a device that he wears on his arm he can change his shape and save the world from harm when trouble's taking place he gets right in its face Ben 10 when lives are on the line it's hero time Ben 10 Seriously, Rook, for a guy with such a sweet ride, you are the slowest driver. Have you never seen the Plumbers' drivers-ed videos? Do you know what organic matter looks like after a collision at light speed? Better leave the weapons in the truck, or they'll confiscate them at the gate. Very well, Kevin. But one would think they might make an exception for officers of the law. Tetramands aren't big on exceptions. Can a fella get something to drink around here?! Put a cork in it, turnstile-jumper! That guy's been here since yesterday, and you don't hear him complaining. Beam scans always make me itch. That's the z-bosons. They tend to condense on fur. I see. This is it, Rook, the Khoros car show one-stop shopping for all your automotive needs. If you can't get it here, you can find a guy who will build it for you. Are you certain that I can purchase crystal-matrix plasma resonators here? Guaranteed. Just let me do the talking, okay? And try not to look like a Plumber. Why? Kevin, are the parts you are looking for illegal? Depending on the configuration. I'm tellin' ya it's gotta be the ion-return canister. I disagree. I think it's the flux valve mounting bolt. Look, the bottom line is, we're probably both wrong, but my brother is definitely wronger! Yeah. Welcome, honored customers. May you find vehicular contentment in my many and varied wares! What do you want for this? A reverse-calibrated lepton transducer? But those have been banned in 12 systems. And they're still legal in three. Hey, I'm just trying to make a tayden here, okay? I don't want no trouble with the redspots. But you know what? Keep the transducer. Consider it a gift. Huh. Having you around might be okay. Come on. Let's Hey! Watch where you're Kev? - Argit. - And associate. How nice to see you both here together. Kevin and I share an interest in high-performance vehicle modifications. Hey, who doesn't? Am I right? So you're here as a car enthusiast, huh? No scam? No angle? What?! No. No. No, no, no, no, no. I'm a solid citizen now. Yeah, y-you tell him, Rook. He broke into a warehouse and stole an illegal weapons shipment. To help you guys! It was Benny's idea. Okay, n-not completely, but, look, I'm a hero a pillar of the community. - No way. - He is very popular. Over there. Is that who I think it is? Can't be. Five years we been looking for that guy! And now he's gonna get what's coming to him! You backstabbing tin can! Hey! Come here! No-good, double-crossing jerk! Nyah! Please put them down, gentlemen. Kevin and Argit are old associates from my days in the Null Void. So, you escaped after all? Solid state! No thanks to you. You left us there to rot! Why, I had no idea the device would only transport me out of the Null Void. I searched for a way to rescue you, too, but alas We found our own way. Indeed! Such brilliant, resourceful lads. I can't tell you how glad I am to see you. And the timing could not be better. Timing? What are you talking about? I could use some extra muscle for a special job I have lined up. It's high-risk, but the profits are immeasurable. Go on. No. Stop right there. Me and Argit are legit citizens these days. What? I mean yeah! We've gone straight totally aboveboard. Ohh. How disappointing. All your talent is going to waste. Oh, well. Guess we ought to get started. Everybody hit the dirt! This is a stickup! This is the special job your friend mentioned? Hey! He's no friend of mine! We must stop them. You're under arrest! Whoa! Hold up, there, quick draw! - You're unarmed, remember? - I am still a Plumber. Then call for backup. Ben. Hello? Can you hear me? Hey, Rook. How's the auto show? The show is fine. However, we have run into some trouble here. And the crowd is in a panic! I can barely hear you over all that screaming in the background. Look, whatever trouble you and Kevin are in, it can't be anywhere near as bad as what we're dealing with here. Armed lowlifes! A full-scale firefight! Okay, I stand corrected. Your thing is way worse. We are unarmed and pinned down! They're headed for the main gate! - Kevin, we cannot wait. - Okay, okay. I'll take point. If anything happened to you, I'd never hear the end of it. Point taken. Or given. I'll cover the rear. Cover the rear, cover my rear it's the same thing. They have recycler clips. They can hold the guards off indefinitely. Come on. Right human shield. Pressure-forged infinitum. That was a Tetramand engine block I touched back there. Impressive. Still hurts, though. Make your move! Hands up! Ow! Hey, good work, team! I think the locals can handle it from here. Curses! I am thwarted! I want an advocate! I don't want to be held in a high-security cell. I've seen the way you treat your prisoners. I totally had your back. Where are they? I know that voice. Who accomplished this daring feat that saved the car show? Kevin, lad! Best of battles to you! How's it going, your warlordship? We're still square on that whole "not marrying your daughter" thing, right? Looma isn't around, is she? Much as the Princess values a good Tetramand powertrain, just now, she's off quashing a rebellion in the crooked mountains. Oh, good. Good for her. Ah, yes. Such a talented girl with so many interests. Warlord Gar, I am Rook Blonko. Of course. We met when I threatened to destroy Earth. - And you are? - Argit, f-freelance hero, traveling the universe in service of justice. Well, you have done Khoros a tremendous service. You three will be my honored guests for the rest of the show. Come! Honored guests? Ha! Ka-ching! Don't get your hopes up. No, Argit. My intestines do not speak well of this. What's that? I'm guessing his gut tells him that something's wrong. Oh. Ohhhh. Well done, gentlemen! Phase 1 went better than I could have hoped. Now on to phase 2. Rook's right. This doesn't add up. Otto wouldn't pull a stupid stunt like that not for chump change, anyway. This way, my friends. You must see my private vault, where I keep the four rarest and most valuable cars in the galaxy worth the rest of the show put together. One moment. This vault of yours Is it anywhere near where you put Otto and his goons? I suppose. But there are 3 meters of stone between the pens and the vaults. Look at that! It's freedom! Come on! Have you ever ridden on one of these? Of course in simulation. - Punch it! - I'm trying, but it won't go! No punch it! Left. Now right. And for heaven's sakes, stop double-clutching! Was that guy double-clutching? In a car like that wouldn't you? Now, that guy drives like my brother. That guy drives like my brother! Whoa! They have sealed the main gate! Whoa! How could they pierce these heavy infinitum doors? The lead car was solid Taydenite literally made of money. - Now what? - You guys, uh, need a ride? We should be gaining on them. I still don't see why I can't ride in your car. Your quills mess up my upholstery. You see what I have to deal with? Be silent. I see them. Perhaps I should try to contact Ben again. Nah. Earth's hours away. By the time our backup gets here, this'll all be over. - Uh, Kev - Hang on. I'm trying to snag one with my magna-winch. Huh? Hey, Rook. Ben. I am sorry to pester you, but if we are devoured by sandrippers, the lowlifes will get away. Wait. What? Where's Kevin? In his car, facing the same giant beasts. Wait how big are we talking here? Ben, they are eating my truck. Okay. Okay. Try not to make it any worse. I'm on my way. Make it worse?! How could we make it any oopsie. You got to be kidding me! Wretched creatures! There! Head up that rock slab! Otto's got the right idea. 'Rippers can't move through solid rock. And yet, ridge-running has its own drawbacks. Brakes! Brakes, you fool! Phew! Oh! Dip switches! Not bad fishin' around these parts. As Ben would say, "totally. " Quite a remarkable vehicle you have here. Be silent, lowlife. I guess we'll have to tell them. I have some additional Bralla da! Otto has accessed the proto-truk's mainframe! But they are locked in the back, and the controls are inaccessible! These guys broke out of a high-security cell, remember? I am merely saying he has accessed the nano shift transformer. Now, this is what I call a car! Otto is no more! Tremble before the power of Otto-Gestault! I did not see that coming. Look upon me and regard. After all these years, I have a body worthy of my titanic intellect! I am glad that your newfound power has not gone to your head. Insolent worm! Get in! Man. You wouldn't believe what I had to go through to get Azmuth to teleport me here. I'm serious. It's hard enough just to get him to return a message. You couldn't eat the ground to charge up? It's good, but this stuff is delicious. Why, you Release me, you vermin! Every time I see you people, it's three weeks of repairs! Come on. That's not going to hold him for long. I mean hold it. Wait who is this? Obnoxious creatures! Once I'm rid of you, I'll go find a nice star system and buy it! Benny! Give me a minute! I need a heavy hitter Shocksquatch Way Big Ben! Do something! How about an Upgrade? - Well done. - Wait. You could've upgraded me like this any old time? You told me never to touch your car. Ooh! A Galvanic mechamorph! I'm trembling in my multitrillion-tayden shoes. Ben! Avoid damaging the arms and legs! Those cars are worth more than many planets! What about the part that looks like your truck? - Go to town, buddy! - Pardon me? Ha! A challenge! Ha ha! Solid state! Hey, what happened to those hooded guys? I must assume they are still inside the proto-truck. Yikes. Ben! The cars! Whoops! Oh, you noble fool. I started life as a faulty A. I. unit for a ventilator. After coming all this way, do you really think you can stop me? Whoa! You're not too good with machines you know, considering It knocked my block off. Looks like your ride's gonna need a little bodywork. Sorry, Rook. If you like, I can loan you my wrench. Ben Tennyson, you have once again demonstrated why you are the greatest hero in the universe. Oh, please. You're too kind. But I couldn't have done it without my friends here. - Kevin's car got totally messed up. - Indeed? Well, then, in gratitude, I shall give Kevin Levin his choice of my own personal collection. My vehicle was damaged, as well. Just listen to that! My vorlon spline distributor is beyond repair! That's why I picked the money-mobile back there. We'll sell it and totally rebuild both our cars. - Thank you, Kevin. - You realize the problem with that? Yeah. If that car is made of flawless Tetramand Taydenite, where are you gonna find someone rich enough to buy it?
