PAPrincess Attea
Guards, seize my father!
[as he's been held gun point by his soldiers] But why?
PAPrincess Attea
Sentimental old fool. After you paid my ransom, I offered SevenSeven twice as much to overthrow you.
Actually, I have to respect that.
So much for the great dictator. And since Earth isn't in harm's way anymore, we're done. I'll get Ben.
KevinWe're not done.
PAPrincess Attea
[takes the detonator out of Gwen's hand; laughs evilly] It's customary for a new emperor to celebrate with a show of force. The end of your lively planet will make beautiful fireworks for my coronation.
As an award for your assistance in this matter, the Earth is spared. You may go.
[Ben, Gwen, and Kevin teleport back to Earth in Kevin's car outside Mr. Smoothy]
Ben, what happened to you back there?
Well, no way am I ever becoming Alien X again.
Kevin
Why not? When it was working, you kicked massive butt.
Yeah. My most powerful transformation ever. But it isn't worth the price.
[Kevin's car pulls up at a warehouse]
Kevin
Ben you sure this is the place?
That's what the tip said.
Kevin
Yeah that's what worries me. You don't get tips. I get tips. You got no connections.
Come on Kevin. I got connections.
Kevin
Yeah like who?
It's true. He does know me.
A lot of support there Gwen. Thanks.
Ben you already wear the Omnitrix so you already have special dispensation. The Galvan have requested that you not be interfered within minor matters (Turns to Gwen) and the reports i've read have indicated that as you say have never impersonated a Plumber, but you...
Kevin
Yeah what?
You've got a record. You've done time in the Null Void for a variety of crimes.
(Referring to Kevin) He's changed.
He did his time. He's been helping us.
He's been impersonating a Plumber. (Walks over to Kevin) Give me the badge you stole!
Kevin
Don't take my badge, man, please.
Now or you're going back to the Null Void. (Kevin gives in and hands Magister Gilhil the badge) Thank you. (Deactivates it) You're free to go, but if you ever get involved in Plumbers business again, I don't care what Azmuth says. You're all going to the Null Void, even you, Ben. (Teleports away)
Is that it? Is this the end?
[At Mr. Smoothy's]
Ben Cheer up. Mr. Smoothy makes everything better. (Hands Kevin his cup)
Kevin
(tries it) Ugh how does turnip and wheatgrass make anything better? (A little ticked)
Well I like it! Besides it's also got ginger in it.
Kevin
Oh ginger. That solves our problems (Sarcastically)
Seriously, Ben. Magister Gilhil pretty much just put us out of business. What are we gonna do?
We're going to keep doing what we've been doing; find the aliens. Fight the bad guys.
He said he'd put us in the Null Void.
He also said Plumbers never come around here anymore. We'll worry about it when or should I say if he ever shows up again.
Kevin
He took my badge!
(Mocks Kevin and changes voice) Badges? We don't need any stinking badges!
Kevin
(Enraged) You think this is a joke?! (Grabs and lifts Ben)
Kevin, let him go! (Kevin violently throws Ben onto the hood of his car)
Kevin
I wanna be a Plumber, okay? When I was little, my mom would tell me stories about my dad. How he was a Plumber and he did all this cool stuff.
Kevin
Me either, but I still wanna be like him.
That's why you know so much about the Plumbers and alien technology and everything.
Kevin
It's why I agreed to help you guys in the first place mostly. I need my badge back Ben. It's the only thing that matters. (Gets in and drives off)
I brought you a present. (Throws Kevin a wooden ball)
Kevin
(catches it) What's this?
A wooden ball. Absorb it. (Kevin absorbed it) How about this one? (Throws Kevin a metal ball, which he catched and absorbed) It's a ball bearing. Made out of uh I don't know ball bearing stuff.
Kevin
Stainless steel.
I brought you a whole bag of them. All made of different materials. That way when you fight, you can change to whatever you want.
Kevin
Thank you, but it doesn't really work that way. I need a lot of whatever i'm copying.
Kevin
And what makes you think I'm still helping you guys anyway?
(Holded his hand and Kevin absorbed her skin) Because you've changed.
Kevin
Maybe, but i'm still on parole. That Magister can put me back in that Null Void anytime he wants.
(Gwen and Kevin are about to kiss, but the Highbreed broke in)
(Breaks through garage wall) You scums. I will cleanse the planet of your filth.
Kevin
Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up fighting monsters. (Absorbs metal from his car)
It's a Highbreed. Ben said they're too strong for us.
Kevin
Well, Ben ain't here. (Attacked the Highbreed)
[In some lab, Ben, Kevin, Magister Gilhil, and the Highbreed are all in a rig with their bodies chained up]
I don't understand what's going on. That's the guy who tipped me off that you were impersonating Plumbers.
Kevin
And he scammed Big Ugly too. [The Highbreed snarls at him] Well, he did. Don't snarl at me.
MSMasked Stranger
Do you really?
You had to be somebody who knows all the Plumbers and the Highbreed, but most importantly, you had to be someone with a grudge against us. Why don't you take off the dopey mask, Michael?
Kevin
Wait, that's Michael Morningstar? The creep who tried to steal Gwen from-- [blushes] Who, who stole all the powers from those girls at his prep school?
MSMasked Stranger
When you ruined my plan, you nearly destroyed me, but over the weeks, my powers returned. Stronger than ever and so did my hunger. My old method of feeding is no longer sufficient.
High school girls too tough for you, huh?
MSMasked Stranger
To the contrary. I need more power than they can supply. Michael Morningstar no longer exists. [takes off his mask, revealing his hideous face] Now I am Darkstar.
BKBen and Kevin
[disgusted at his new look] Eeuugghh!
You did this to me and you will feed my hunger! (Shoots his beams at the four and starts absorbing their powers) I will take your strength and make it my own until you have no more to give.
Kevin
(To Ben in a pained voice) If you can reach your Omnitrix… maybe Alien X.
(in a pained voice) No! If he absorbed all that power, nothing could stop him!
Eventually, I'll have it all, anyway.
Michael! [Darkstar turns around; disgusted] Ew. I swear you were better looking when we used to go out.
Laugh while you can. I've got all the power of your teammates. Plus the Highbreed and the Plumber. How can you possibly hope to defeat me alone?
Who said anything about alone? [An army of DNAliens appear, threatening to attack Darkstar for kidnapping their leader] They're pretty mad about you kidnapping their boss.
Nighty-night! [smashes Darkstar with both feet]
[As the smoke clears, Gwen, Kevin and Magister Gilhill see that the Highbreed and DNAliens have escaped]
Kevin
The DNAliens must've sprung him while we were fighting. [Humungousaur lifts his foot off of Darkstar as he is knocked out unconscious and changes to back Ben who is about to pass out] You okay man?
(Humungousaur reverts to Ben)
(Holded him) Sit down and catch your breath.
MPMagister Prior Gihil
Is he okay?
(Weakly) Everything spinning... going dim... need smoothie.
Kevin
(Referring to Darkstar) You sure that rig will hold him?
It's level 6 technology son. He isn't going anywhere, but the Null Void.
I've been giving that some thought. You guys made a difference today.
Maybe I don't need to re-assign good men to this quadrant. Maybe they're already here. (Referring to the team)
Kevin
What's that mean?
You've been drafted. (Hands Kevin a badge) Here's your badge back (Hands Gwen a badge) and here's one for you. (Ben gestures to himself) Don't push it kid. You've already got the Omnitrix. As of now, you're the only law in the quadrant. Do a good job. (Teleports away with Darkstar)
(Kevin started walking) Hey where are you going?
Kevin
(Looked at his badge, then at Ben and Gwen) I gotta tell my mom. [Walked away with Ben and Gwen looking on]
[In a warehouse]
I got it covered. (Turned into Echo Echo)
Echo Echo! Going somewhere? (Highbreed attacked Kevin)
Kevin
Nice goin, Mr. "I got it covered".
Hey, I'm all over it! (Jumped onto the Highbreed)
R3Reinrassic The 3rd
Don't touch me creature.
(on the ground) Ben Tennyson has shown no mercy.
Nothing. I swear on my order. He's ruined our hive in as many days.
(Looking at Kevin) First I've heard of it.
They say at court, that the cursed Ben 10 has also attacked more of our hives.
Kevin
Your cousin took out a bunch of hives? Come on. He doesn't have the guts.
You mean it's not like Ben to go on a mission like that alone.
Kevin
OKAY!
Why he's keeping secret from us?
[At Ben's house]
(With mouthful of chili fries) You get it, Ben? The kid weighs 25 kilograms, 3 meters per second, 2 meters from the sudden merry-go-round.
(brushes off crumbs from his hands) Wait. Julie, wait. I better write this down.
Kevin
Congratulations, Tennyson. You're finally putting the Omnitrix to maximum use, you know clandestine butt-kicking-wise.
What are you talking about?
Nice try. We saw you as Jetray flying away from a battle.
Look, I've been studying all week for a physics test tomorrow. It's my worst subject.
Maybe you're not really studying.
(talking to Gwen) Wait. Considering the aliens and weird transformations and stuff Ben deals with, there could be any number of explanations for what you saw.
Kevin
You're saying you can vouch for his whereabouts?
No, I got here a few minutes ago. He studies and I come over to help him review. Not that he's actually acing the reviews.
(insulted) I'm getting better.
(Sarcastically) You're making a real effort.
(Talking to Ben) With Grandpa Max gone, we've got to rely on each other. If you've got a secret, you should spill it.. now!
I swear, I've been calculating the angular momentum. If I don't pass, my mom will ground me, which means minimal hero time (points at Omnitrix) and 0 Julie time (gestures to Julie). You do the math. (in a low voice) 'Cause apparently I can't.
Kevin
I believe him. When you lie, your left eye twitches, but who knows, maybe you've been blackin' out and sleep fighting.
Is it possible? Is the Omnitrix making you attack your enemies in your sleep?
(Sighs) If we're going to discuss this, I need more chili fries. (notices all of the chili fries are gone) [To Julie, angered] You said you didn't want any.
