Ben TennysonI've been three steps ahead of you all day. I've outflanked you, I've outpowered you, and I haven't even been trying. This satellite is a dangerous place. I told you kids not to come here.
[It's raining and Gwen offers Ben his jacket]
BenI don't deserve that. It belongs to a hero.
BenIt's Hero Time!
[Ben is sleeping when Gwen returns, causing him to wake up.]
Well, that's attractive.
Ben[Stands up and wipes his mouth] What? I'm awake. What?
You needed help?
BenI need advice. [Holds up the Omnitrix]
[Gwen traps the fish-like alien in a pink energy rope]
BenYou're getting really good at that stuff.
Thanks.
Ben[Threatening the alien in a fishbowl helmet] I want some answers right now, otherwise–
Yeah?
BenI dunno. I'll overfeed you?
Do I look like somebody to joke with?
[Kevin wakes up to see Swampfire, Gwen, and Labrid standing before him, causing him to glare at them. Swampfire transforms back into Ben. Kevin looks down and sees energy cuffs on his arms. He tries to break free, but is unsuccessful.]
Energy cuffs. You can't escape. Ain't nothing there to absorb.
Ben[To Gwen] You still got some of that stuff in your hair.
[Gwen runs her fingers through the right side of her hair.]
Other side.
[Gwen touches the left side of her hair and feels the goop.]
[Disgusted by the goop on the left side of her hair] Eww!
Time we had a talk, tough guy. [Opens the bottom of the laser lance to reveal the ether-point energy cell] These weapons run on ether-point energy cells. A dangerous technology way too advanced for humans. [Closes the bottom of the laser lance] They shouldn't even be on this planet.
So? How's that my problem?
BenWhile we were fighting, the Forever Knights got away with a crate full of them.
You set up the deal. You're going to tell me where they are.
[Puts her hand on Kevin's shoulder] Kevin, people could be hurt.
[Realizing that Gwen is right, Kevin softens.]
You're in a lot of trouble, son. I'm giving you a chance to help yourself here.
You don't have to convince me. [Stands up] Those guys ran off before I got paid. I'm happy to help find those deadbeats.
Knowing Grandpa Max, he's probably at a restaurant enjoying a roasted cockroach salad. It's a wonder that all that weird food didn't kill him.
Ben[notices Gwen's words and angrily snaps] He's not dead! Stop making jokes about him!
[Stops the car, then points sternly at Ben] Don't talk to her like that.
BenI'll talk to her any way I... [notices Gwen and softens, realizing that Kevin is right] You're right. I'm sorry, Gwen.
I know you're worried about Grandpa.
BenI just wish he were here. He would know what to do. He always knows what to do.
Well, he ain't. You're the one with the Omnitrix. You're going to have to figure out how to get things done on your own.
[Realizing that Labrid is right, Ben becomes determined. Kevin resumes driving.]
Hands on your head.
Make me.

BenWhoops!
────────────────────
Ben (as Echo Echo): Echo Echo! (to mechanized dragon) Got you, got you, got you!
Oh, you're not gonna--
Yeah, I am.
────────────────────
Magister Labrid (panicked, to a Forever Knight attempting to use a broken space gun): Don't do it! It's busted. (to Kevin) Hit the deck!
────────────────────
That's why Level 5 technology is illegal on Earth. Humans aren't ready for it.
I owe you one.
Yeah. You do.
────────────────────
Echo Echo (while trying to capture the mechanized dragon): Got you, got you, got you. Don't got you.
────────────────────
Kevin [to Ben, after Echo Echo's sonic attack at the dragon]: You could warn somebody when you're gonna do that.
Gwen [to Ben]: Seriously, I got earplugs in my purse.
Sorry.
That's all of them. [to Ben] If you wouldn't mind. [Echo Echo's sonic attack causes the Forever Knights' blasters to blow up, and steaming liquid is shown dripping from a gash on Labrid's suit]
Echo Echo [to Labrid]: Hey, are you okay? There's... [transforms back to Ben]
Ben[after changing back] ...water leaking out of your suit.
[notices the liquid drop coming out from the gash on the chest of his suit] That's not water.
Kevin [to Labrid]: You alright, man?
Labrid [to Ben]: Listen to me.
I've got a tire patch in the car, maybe we could--
No time for that. There's nothing anyone can do.
Let us help you.
If you want to help me, finish the job. You have to find out where the Level 5 tech is coming from.
BenI will.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, kid. [weakly] Your grandpa was on the trail of something big: an alien conspiracy with Earth in the middle. He was working undercover. If you crack this case, maybe you can find Max and save your planet.
Ben [sadly]: I can't do it without Grandpa. I don't know how.
You...you are Ben Tennyson. You can do anything. [dries out completely and passes away, leaving only an empty plumber suit with a gash on it]
No.
Ben [to Gwen and Kevin]: I'm gonna need help.
You know I'm here for you.
BenKevin, there's no money in this, but--
Kevin [seriously]: I'm in.
────────────────────
[Ben and Kevin are in Kevin's car. Gwen is floating in front of them with a laser lance spinning around in front of her.]
BenAre you sure this is going to work?
No. I've never done something like this before. But in theory, I should be able to trace the vibrations from this laser lance back to the people who used to own it.
BenI thought I destroyed all of those things.
I kept one as a souvenir. Lucky, huh? [Ben frowns at him]
[The laser lance stops spinning, turns pink, and points in the right direction.]
Hey, it's working. Follow me!
[Gwen floats off, with Ben and Kevin following behind.]
[Bored] I'll follow you anywhere.
[The car starts going off-road.]
[Angrily] Except there! Come on, Gwen! Paint job!
Ben(riding in Kevin's car) Can't this thing go any faster?
(driving through a 25-MPH speed zone) Yes.
BenWe're still going the same speed.
It's called the speed limit. Fastest we're going tonight.
BenBut you said-
I said "could", not "would".
BenMy mom's going to kill me if i'm late getting home again.
Huh, if she grounds you, it'll be just me and Gwen. Tough break.
You think i'd go with you if Ben wasn't here?
Yeah. I got roguish charm.
(beeping noise)
Phone call for Mr. Rogueish charm.
Not me. I don't have a cell.
Then it's probably 1 of your many girlfriends. (Gwen reaches into Kevin's coat pocket and takes out his Plumbers badge)
[chuckles at a photo] Hey, Ben. Look. [shows Ben the photo of them as kids and Grandpa Max with the Rust Bucket being towed in the background while Ben is picking his nose, annoying his cousin] It's us in front of the old Rust Bucket.
Ben Tennyson[laughs] That's so like Grandpa Max to lose one dumper, then run out and find another. That whole summer was incredible. Remember, Gwen? Hero time, all the time. Kevin was still a bad guy.
Let it go, Tennyson. I know you're here to keep an eye on me.
Ben Tennyson(Gwen appears) He got away.
Cool. I mean, oh, no!
Ben TennysonHow could I let my guard down? He's a liar and a thief.
That was the old Kevin. He's different now. And we're different too. (pulls out handkerchief) I can track him from this.
Ben TennysonYou kept his sweaty handkerchief?
(Her eyes glow pink and the handkerchief glows with a pink aura)
Got him!
Now, I know this looks bad.
Ben TennysonBad? Bad?! If you don't get the Rust Bucket back, I'll show you bad!
Doubt it.
Ben TennysonWhat happens when this is all over and Grandpa comes home? Where's he gonna live then?
Do I have to separate you two?
Ben TennysonHe stole Grandpa's home. What kind of jerk steals an old man's home?
One with a good reason. Right?
Yeah, this is important.
Ben TennysonImportant to you.
[Ben kicks down a pile of tires]
Ben TennysonWe're supposed to be keeping the planet safe from an alien invasion, and we can't keep a motor home from being stolen?
Drop it. (starts to walk away)
Ben Tennyson(blocking his way) Don't walk away from me!
Is this where you turn into an alien and try to kick my butt?
Ben TennysonI'm considering it.
Don't you think we should get to know him a little more?
Ben TennysonWhat's there to know? He's got the powers, he's got the gear-
He's got a sparkly trail when he flies?
[Kevin absorbs the doorknob, then sticks his finger into the keyhole to pick the lock.]
Ben TennysonThis is why you changed your mind about Mike going off with Gwen? So we could spy on him?
Yep.
Ben TennysonWell, stop!
He ain't right, Ben. If you're not gonna check him out, I am.
Ben TennysonYou're doing the wrong thing, Kevin. The old Kevin thing. [Grabs Kevin's arm] Step away from the door.
You really wanna fight me over some new guy? [Frees his arm from Ben's grip] That's how you're gonna build a team? [Opens the door] And they said I didn't learn anything in the Null Void.
Ben TennysonKevin–
[arriving at the house] Is Mike home? [Ben and Kevin turn to see her walking up to them] He hasn't called me back since you and that new girl showed up.
[Ben and Kevin exchange looks, then turn to Trina.]
Uh, Trina, right? Yeah, Morningstar ain't here right now.
[Trina tilts her head to look at the open door. Ben and Kevin exchange looks, then turn to Trina.]
We're just picking up some stuff for him.
[Comes up the stairs] Then you know where he is. Can you take me?
Ben TennysonNo. I mean, he's busy.
I need to see him. Why won't he see me?
[Kevin notices marks on Trina's arm.]
Where did you get those marks on your arm?
[Trina shrugs. Ben and Kevin turn away from Trina to keep her from hearing what they were saying.]
I saw those same marks on that zombie girl that tried to tenderize me.
I just wanna see Mike.
[Ben and Kevin turn to Trina.]
Yeah. I'm getting that.
[Ben and Kevin turn back to each other.]
Call me crazy, but is it possible Morningstar's the one making these girls this way?
[Trina approaches them.]
Ben TennysonYou're crazy.
[Ben and Kevin turn to Trina.]
'Scuse us.
[Ben and Kevin turn back to each other.]
Look, it didn't really hit me till just now, but Gwen's been wearing her sleeves lower than usual. She was hiding something.
[Ben looks at the marks on Trina's arms. As Ben turns back to Kevin, Trina walks past them and walks into the house.]
Ben TennysonYou're saying Gwen has marks like that on her arms?
I didn't see them for sure, but it makes sense.
Ben TennysonCome to think of it, Trina was all weak and wobbly when we first saw her on the highway.
[Kevin nods.]
Ben TennysonGwen was the same way at the power plant. Gwen might've caught whatever bug is doing this.
Yeah. And the bug's name is Mike Morningstar.
