(Ben turns into Humungousaur and pushes Connor and Squire to the side of their vehicle)
You know where the dragon's headed, don't you?
CConnor
[Laughs] If you're trying to scare us, it's going to take a lot more than a stripling with a fancy wristwatch right?
SSquire
Absolutely! We've taken a sacred oath! [Humungousaur grows a little bigger; frightened] 6200 Prospect Blvd. where the 12 and 408 freeways meet.
SSquire
It's where the dragon's going.
SSquire
The Knights found a huge relic the same time they caught the dragon. They didn't know what it was or what it did so they hid it for safekeeping. They sent the relic to our lab to see if it had any technology they could use against the dragon. When it flew across the Atlantic, we figured it was connected to the relic somehow. [Humungousaur shrinks and reverts back to Ben] And that's all I know, I swear!
Ben
That's fine, really. [gets in Kevin's car and drives off]
SSquire
Wait! I almost forgot. They think the relic's alien, but they haven't figured out what it does yet!
Ben
[takes out an alien tech translator object from Kevin's car trunk] I knew I'd seen one of these before. What is it?
Galvan Universal Translator -- translates any language into any other, in real time. Pretty common alien tech.
Ben
The dragon had something like this near its throat, but it looked busted.
Then all we have to do is replace the broken one with this one.
DDragon
(After replacing old Galvan Universal Transmitter) Leave me alone, leave me alone!
DDragon
Of course I can talk. Why wouldn't I be able to talk?
Well, I-I thought you were a, um...
DDragon
Yeah? Well, I thought you were a monkey.
Oh I don't really look like THIS! (Reverted to Ben)
Ben
See?
DDragon
Sorry. All mammals look alike to me.
It's not just you. Ben does sort of favor a monkey. Smells like one too.
Ben
OK enough with that.
What kind of a hero travels in a bus?
Ben
None of us knows how to drive a car and none of us has a license! What do you want me to do? (pretends to call his mother) Hi, Mom. We need to go fight some aliens. Will you give us a ride?
Okay whatever. I'm just worried that's all.
Ben
About Kevin?
Well yeah, what else? We need to find him before... you know before something bad happens. Not that I care or anything. I mean come on; how can anyone care about a person who's that rude, and undependable and, and... annoying? It's ridiculous. How could you even say something like that?
Ben
(confused, shocked, understanding Gwen's feelings for Kevin) Actually... I didn't say anything.
Oh! (Gwen looks away embarrassed)
(at Manny and Helen's hideout)
(Ben and Gwen arrive)
Ben
Very!
Now give us back our friend!
(Helen and Manny start shooting at Ben and Gwen. Gwen then puts up her shield)
Ben
(sarcastically) Friend?
Teammate, co-worker, whatever.... can we talk about this later?
(Helen noticed the distracted Gwen and Ben so taking advantage, she shoots a piece of rock, which breaks into three, all falling on Ben's head and shoulders)
Ben
Hey! I wasn't the one who... Uh... Uh... Uhhhh (falls unconscious)
Ben! (hits Manny and Helen with her shield)
(at the same time regaining consciousness, realizing that Ben and Gwen have come to his rescue) Looks like my rescuers need rescuing. (absorbs pocket change) Guess it'll have to do. (breaks free from the shield bubble)
[Arguing]
But look at it this way. Your human form is probably even uglier.
You wanna go another round?
(to Gwen) Tell your boyfriend to back off.
No you tell yours...whoahoh he's not my boyfriend!
Well, you sure act like it.
Don't tell me who my boyfriend isn't... is!
Hey you're the comedian. At least you got the face for it.
BOY, ARE YOU ASKIN' FOR IT?!
I'm begging for it! Who's gonna give it to me?
Me! With three hands tied behind my back!
Ben
[Losing control of his rage] Hey!!! Stop it, all of you! What am I, your babysitter?!
(referring to Pierce) You sounded just like my brother.
Pierce was always the one who always kept his ground.
[After Manny and Helen jump into the projector, the projector turns off.]
[Points at the projector] That is so not gonna go well.
Ben
I don't know. On paper, we don't look like such a great team either.
There is that. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go swipe some of there equipment. [Turns around and heads towards the warehouse]
Ben
[Angrily] So not cool, man!
[Ben and Gwen follow Kevin towards the warehouse.]
[Mr. Smoothy; Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are being held at gunpoint by the Incursians with their hands up once they step out of Kevin's car]
Ben
[To Kevin] Kevin?
Incursian warriors, packing serious ordinance.
[appearing in sight] Weapons down. Sorry, Kevin, you know Incursians.
[pleased] Raff! How you been? [introduces him to Ben and Gwen] Guys, this is Raff, the number two guy in like 40 star systems. Raff, Gwen Tennyson.
Yeah, that's him there. [to Ben] I used to talk about what I'd do to you.
Ben
Right, back when you were a crook.
[correcting him] Entrepreneur. I kept Raff's whole empire in food and sandals. What brings you out this way?
SevenSeven snatched a little girl in this system and I really need to find her. You're the only Earth fellow I know. [holds up the piece of the Princess Attea's garment] She wore the royal color. Seen anybody like that?
Ben
Wait. SevenSeven, like that guy, SixSix, we used to fight?
He's the same race as SixSix, but far more dangerous.
Yeah, eleven more dangerous.
[snapping his fingers in front of Alien X's face to get his attention] Hello? Anybody home in there?
Ben, come on. SevenSeven's getting away with the princess. Ben, are you okay? Ben?
[Inside Alien X's mind…]
Ben
This is awesome! Quick, how do I make something else happen?
Ben
Yeah, whatever. Okay, team Alien X! Let's move! [Starts flying away from Serena and Bellicus, but stops when he realizes they aren't doing anything]
We are one of the most powerfull beings in the universe.
Because we are the most deliberative.
Ben
Huh? You mean the Earth is safe?
No. How did you get that? [Ben flies back to them]
I am Serena, the voice of love and compassion.
And I'm Belicus, the voice of rage and aggression. You're supposed to be the voice of reason!
Belicus and I have been locked in eternal argument.
Ben
Yeah, that's great, but the Earth is going to be destroyed any minute!
[Sadly] I feel sorrow. Billions of lives will be lost.
Nah, they probably had it coming. [To Ben] Get it, genius? We deliberate. Now you try it.
Ben
I wanna know what happened to my friends.
Motion carried. [A glowing window appears, allowing them to see Gwen and Kevin]
[trying to put Alien X in through the car window] Ugh, just bend or something! [tries putting him in the trunk]
You can't just stuff him in the trunk!
You're right, he doesn't fit.
I'm serious. He hasn't moved since he fixed the dam. Maybe he's hurt, or...
Nah, he's warm. Maybe he's resting.
Alien X doesn't do anything until it's put to a vote. We've already cut you slack 'cause you're new. But that's the procedure.
Ben
Okay. I move that you let me use the Omnitrix.
Is there a second? (he and Ben both look at Serena) Motion defeated.
SBSerena and Belicus
Good vote.
You see, until you showed up, Alien X was always in a deadlock. But now we've finally found a tiebreaker. How could we ever let you go?
Got that, genius? You're NEVER changing back.
Ben
[to Belicus and Serena] I propose we teleport the Incursians a billion lightyears away. Yes or no?
Ben
Disable the conquest ray?
Ben
We have to do something.
Well, we haven't heard arguments yet.
Ben
Did you ever decide anything before?
Ben
Oh, man.
Ben
[To Serena] You're supposed to be love and compassion! How can you let an entire world die?! [To Belicus] And you're supposed to be anger and aggression! How can you let bad stuff go unpunished?! How can you both be so useless?!
We're the most powerful beings in the universe. We change the very nature of space and time.
Ben
You don't DO anything! Billions of lives are at stake and you're all "Oh, the procedure"! [Serena sobs]
[Outraged] Now look what you did! All right! I move that we save the Earth! Happy?
Ben
[Determined] NO! Just let me out of here. I've got nine other guys who can do it better.
[gasps in a heartbroken way] That's hurtful!
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?
Ben
Well, no way am I ever becoming Alien X again.
Why not? When it was working, you kicked massive butt.
Ben
Yeah. My most powerful transformation ever. But it isn't worth the price.
[Kevin's car pulls up at a warehouse]
Ben you sure this is the place?
Ben
That's what the tip said.
Yeah that's what worries me. You don't get tips. I get tips. You got no connections.
Ben
Come on Kevin. I got connections.
Ben
Um uh like Gwen.
It's true. He does know me.
Ben
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...
You've got a record. You've done time in the Null Void for a variety of crimes.
(Referring to Kevin) He's changed.
Ben
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!
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)
Ben
Is that it? Is this the end?
