[ Dog barking in distance ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

Megawhatt: [ Cackles maniacally ]

[ Door opens ]

Young Stinkfly: [ Snorts ]

Megawhatt: [ Shrieks ] [ Speaking alien language ]

Young Stinkfly: Man, you Megawhatts are annoying!

Megawhatt: [ Grunting ] [ Giggles evilly ]

[ Splutters ]

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

Young Ben Tennyson: Ow. So annoying. Blah! Smoothies? Who'd ever want to drink something like that?

Megawhatt: [ Laughing evilly ]

[ Electricity crackling ]

Megawhatt: [ Cackles maniacally ]

Young Ben Tennyson: [ Grunts ] Fun's over! At least this time, there's only one of you.

[ Rattling ]

Young Ben Tennyson: Um... Aah!

[ Electricity crackling ]

Young Ben Tennyson: One, two, three, four.

Megawhatts: [ Maniacal cackling ]

Young Ben Tennyson: Oh, man!

[ Electricity crackling ]

Young Ben Tennyson: Great. And, of course, I don't have anything that can handle electricity. Oh, wait. Yeah, I do!

[ Beep ]

(Young Ben transforms into Feedback)

[ Electricity crackling ]

Young Feedback: Totally forgot about Feedback.

Megawhatt: [ Cackling maniacally ]

Young Feedback: Let's see you laugh without any energy!

[ Electricity crackling ]

[ All sigh, snore, yawn ]

[ Squeak ]

Young Feedback: Oh, yeah! Because nobody... and I mean nobody... Makes a fool out of Ben 10!

Max Tennyson: It's a good thing Ben still needs his rubber sheets. These should make for good insulation.

[ Snoring, yawning continue ]

Young Feedback: Don't go there, Gwen.

Setting: Plumber Headquarters, present day.

[ Elevator bell rings ]

Ben Tennyson: [ Slurping ] Sorry I'm late.

Max Tennyson: You're not on your own schedule any more, Ben. You can't keep your partner waiting.

Ben Tennyson: I was... Off saving the Universe. [ Sighs ] Come on, Rook, let's go. I'm parked over here.

Rook Blonko: We'll take mine.

Ben Tennyson: [ Slurp ]

[ Engine revs ]

Ben Tennyson: Wow. I bet the girls all start screaming when they see this ride rolling down the block.

Rook Blonko: Females are not afraid of my vehicle, but they probably should be.

Ben Tennyson: Sometimes you're actually kind of awesome. Sometimes.

[ Tires screech ]

Ben Tennyson: [ Slurping ]

[ Rattles ]

Rook Blonko: I'm not familiar with human emotional cues, but are you angry at me?

Ben Tennyson: Nah, just bored. I'm feeling more like a tour guide than a hero lately. Over here on your right, you'll see a city. Over here on your left, you'll see what we call water. Careful, it's wet.

Rook Blonko: Water is wet. I'm familiar with that.

Ben Tennyson: I'm sorry that I left you waiting around. I just don't want to change how I work. I've saved the Universe a million times... At least!

Rook Blonko: That is why I look forward to this. I hope the real Ben Tennyson lives up to the legends.

Ben Tennyson: [ Slurps ] There are legends?

Rook Blonko: They can't all be true, though. For instance, Alien X... That's just a rumor that a fan made up and put on the Extranet, right?

Ben Tennyson: Alien X is real.

Rook Blonko: He is? Show me. Change into Alien X right now.

Ben Tennyson: I'd better not. It's a whole thing. [ Slurps ]

Rook Blonko: Just as I thought.

Ben Tennyson: Look, find us a little heroing to do, and you can tell me if I live up to the legend.

Alien: [ Warbles ]

[ Tires screech ]

[ Beep ]

[ Metal clatters ]

[ Whirs ]

[ Beep ]

Lady: Aah!

[ Whirs ]

[ Beep ]

Alien: [ Slurping ]

[ Whirs ]

Ben Tennyson: Some heroing so far. At least the world is safe from car-munching aliens. Look, some normal dude. Maybe we should arrest him for jaywalking.

Rook Blonko: His phone shouldn't be able to be powered here on Earth. Is that normal?

Ben Tennyson: No, that's not normal.

Corvo: Well, you tell her that I'm part of something big. I'll call you back.

[ Beep ]

[ Clatters ]

[ Weapon whirs ]

Ben Tennyson: You're welcome.

[ Engine revving ]

[ Tires screech ]

Ben Tennyson: Finally, some action. Big Chill will let me cut right through these buildings.

[ Beep ]

(Ben transforms into Heatblast)

Heatblast: Heatblast. Seriously? Time to improvise.

Corvo: [ Gasps ]

[ Weapon whirs ]

Corvo: [ Gasps ]

[ Tires screech ]

[ Tires screech ]

Heatblast: [ Grunts ]

[ Wheel scraping ]

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

Ben Tennyson: Aw, this one's gonna sting a little! [ Grunting, groaning ]

Corvo: [ Gasps ]

Rook Blonko: [ Grunts ]

Corvo: What is your deal? I wasn't doing anything!

Rook Blonko: Except shooting at a Plumber.

Ben Tennyson: And a superhero. Alien communicator, alien weapon. Please tell me you work for someone big and dangerous so I can kick his butt.

Corvo: You guys wouldn't last a minute against my boss.

[ Pounding ]

Rook Blonko: This doesn't sound like a typical earth combustion engine.

Ben Tennyson: Maybe it's a hybrid.

Corvo: There's nothing in there, I swear.

[ Whirring ]

Ben Tennyson: Aah!

[ Electricity crackling ]

[ Sizzling ]

Ben Tennyson: [ Gasps ]

Megawhatt: [ Speaking alien language ]

[ Electricity crackling ]

Ben Tennyson: Megawhatts?

[ Electricity crackling ]

Megawhatt: [ Cackles ]

Ben Tennyson: Megawhatts? I haven't seen any of these guys in years.

Megawhatt: [ Speaking alien language ]

Corvo: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Stop... Ow! That!

Rook Blonko: I've never faced a Nosedeenian. Any advice?

Corvo: Ow!

[ Electricity crackling ]

Rook Blonko: Unh!

Ben Tennyson: Try not to let them zap you.

Rook Blonko: Unh! Agh! Unh! [ Grunting ]

Megawhatt: [ Cackles ]

Rook Blonko: Duly noted.

Megawhatts: [ Both speaking alien language ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

Ben Tennyson: Stop them!

Corvo: [ Groans ]

[ Crackling continues ]

[ Tires screeching ]

[ Car horns honking ]

Ben Tennyson: Which way?

Megawhatt: [ Shouts ]

Ben Tennyson: I'll keep after them. Give me some eyes in the sky.

Rook Blonko: They seem to be moving towards the water-port.

Ben Tennyson: They can outrun me, but they can't outrun XLR8.

[ Beep ]

Ben Tennyson: It's hero time!

[ Beep ]

(Ben transfomrs into Clockwork)

Clockwork: Clockwork? This is ridiculous!

[ Clanking ]

[ Electricity crackling ]

Clockwork: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Crackling continues ]

Megawhatt: [ Shouts ]

Clockwork: [ Sighs ] [ Breathing heavily ] [ Sigh ] I lost them. They're too far ahead of... [ Gasps ] Wait, what?

[ Electricity crackles ]

Megawhatts: [ Both vocalizing ] Na, na, na-na, na!

[ Clockwork ticking ]

Clockwork: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

Clockwork: [ Continues breathing heavily ] [ Sighs ]

[ Eelctricity crackles ]

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

Rook Blonko: [ Grunts ] Are you hurt, Ben?

Ben Tennyson: [ Sighs ] Give me a sec so I don't hurl.

Rook Blonko: It's a miracle they didn't escape a Chronosapien.

Ben Tennyson: That's the thing. I think they wanted me to follow them.

Rook Blonko: Do you need more time?

Ben Tennyson: No. But if you see my face turning green, step back.

Rook Blonko: [ Gasps ]

Megawhatt: [ Speaking alien language ] [ Whimpers ] [ Shouting in alien language ] [ Squeals ]

Ben Tennyson: I see it, but I don't believe it. The Megawhatts need our help.

Rook Blonko: Someone has set up a factory that uses them as a power source.

Ben Tennyson: [ Shouts ]

Hoodlum: Hey, two of the batteries got out! [ Grunts ]

[ Electricity crackling ]

Megawhatts: [ Both shout, squealing ]

[ Electricity crackling ]

Ben Tennyson: Better do something soon, if you know what I mean.

Rook Blonko: I do.

Fistrick's Thug: [ Grunts ]

[ Ben and Rook shout, grunting ]

Ben Tennyson: Great.

Fistrick: You better be worth interrupting my workout for.

Hoodlum: Looks like spies, Fistrick.

Fistrick: [ Grunting ] We got spies in my house of business? [ Grunting ]

Ben Tennyson: There's no sign out front. Seems like you don't want people to know your business.

Fistrick: [ Grunts ] Well [ Sniffs ] this kind of alien tech doesn't just fall off a truck.

Ben Tennyson: I'm sure whoever you took it from isn't too happy about it going missing.

Fistrick: [ Grunts ] [ Laughs evilly ] He don't care anymore... Bro.

Ben Tennyson: You steal alien tech and then use alien hostages to charge it.

Fistrick: One alien makes it. Another alien powers it. I mass-produce it and sell it to the highest bidder. It's just good business, bro.

[ Beep ]

Fistrick: What is that?

Rook Blonko: An electron entanglement disruptor.

[ Whirs ]

[ Beep ]

(Ben transforms into Bloxx)

Bloxx: [ Grunts ] Yeah!

Fistrick's Thug: [ Grunting ]

[ Whirs ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

Fistrick's Thug: [ Grunting ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

Fistrick's Thug: Aah! Unh!

Fistrick: Oh, you just made a big mistake, bro.

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

Ben Tennyson: I make a lot of mistakes. Shutting you down isn't one of them.

Corvo: [ Gasps ] [ Grunting ]

Fistrick: [ Grunt ]

[ Whirring, grumbling ]

Fistrick: You never asked why we needed so many of these Nosedeenians.

[ Electricity crackles ]

Megawhatt: [ Squeals ]

[ Whirs ]

Fistrick: Let's take this baby for a test-drive. Looks like I'm getting my workout after all.

Rook Blonko: [ Gasps ] A class 12 armored Mecha Suit. Have you ever dealt with one before?

Ben Tennyson: No. How do you beat it?

Rook Blonko: Me? You could try Alien X.

Ben Tennyson: Stop it. Huh?

[ Both gasp ]

Ben Tennyson: Aah! [ Grunting ]

Fistrick: Whoa! I love it!

Megawhatts: [ All squealing ]

Ben Tennyson: Stop shooting! You might hit the Megawhatts!

Rook Blonko: If we can't fight back, that does tend to make our job more difficult.

Ben Tennyson: Oh, we can fight. We just have to take him down without hurting them.

Rook Blonko: That won't be easy.

Ben Tennyson: It never is. Huh? Okay, Omnitrix, no messing around. I want Four Arms. Do you hear me? Four Arms! I don't want Grey Matter. I don't want Nanomech. Four Arms!

[ Beep ]

(Ben transforms into Gravattack)

Rook Blonko: [ Gasps ]

Gravattack: Who's this?

Fistrick: You can presto-chango all you want. I'm still gonna squash you like a bug.

Gravattack: Ohh! Ohh! [ Grunting ] [ Sighs ] [ Grunts ] Ohh!

[ Warbling ]

Gravattack: Gravity powers? [ Chuckles ] Nice! [ Grunts ]

[ Warbling continues ]

Rook Blonko: [ Grunts ]

Gravattack: Yeah, Rook!

Rook Blonko: Aah! Focus your gravitational field lower.

Gravattack: Sorry, man!

Fistrick: Unh!

[ Electricity crackles ]

Rook Blonko: Oh, dear. Unh!

Gravattack: Rook! You okay? Rook, come on, partner.

Fistrick: [ Shouts ]

Gravattack: Unh! Unh! Unh!

Fistrick: You... Want... Some... More... Bro?

Gravattack: [ Grunts [ Not... Really! Unh!

Fistrick: Too bad about your friend. Too bad for you that he got off easy. Ohh! Aah!

[ Chain rattling ]

Rook Blonko: You're welcome.

Fistrick: [ Shouts ] [ Grunts ] Weak!

Rook Blonko: Ben, I think I can separate the Megawhatts from the suit, but it will be a difficult shot. Try to get the suit to stop moving.

Gravattack: Yeah, thanks, Rook. I'll get right on that.

[ Warbling ]

[ Whirring ]

Fistrick: Got anything else, hero, or are you just a one-trick pony?

Gravattack: Hey, it's my first time using this guy. Now you might be able to withstand 40 G's.

[ Alarm blaring ]

Gravattack: But I don't think the docks can. What do you think? This is like one of those dunk tanks. Are you having as much fun as I am?

Fistrick: [ Moaning ]

Gravattack: I got it to stop moving.

Rook Blonko: [ Sighs ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

[ Popping ]

[ Megawhatts muttering ]

Gravattack: Nice shot!

Suit Voice: Power level critical. 12% remaining.

Fistrick: Just enough.

[ Beep ]

[ Whirring ]

Gravattack: Huh?

[ Warbling ]

Gravattack: I have my own orbit? That is pretty cool. I wonder...

Fistrick: Oh, this is not good.

[ Metal creaking ]

Fistrick:[ Shouting indistinctly ]

Gravattack: I think you've had enough.

Fistrick: [ Moaning ] Bro.

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

Rook Blonko: That was not easy.

Ben Tennyson: It never is.

Max Tennyson: I hear there's a colony of Megawhatts that helps power Undertown.

Ben Tennyson: Since when?

Max Tennyson: Since now.

[ Megawhatts cheering, cackling ]

Ben Tennyson: Anytime, guys.

Rook Blonko: The Tennyson legends usually end with some kind of blended beverage.

Ben Tennyson: Smoothies? Oh, they're more of a daytime thing. At night, it's chili fries.

Rook Blonko: [ Sighs ] Okay.

Ben Tennyson: And, by the way, Alien X is real.

Rook Blonko: Why can't I see it?

Ben Tennyson: Dude, there are some things you're just gonna have to trust me on.
