[At Mr. Smoothy's]
Ben Cheer up. Mr. Smoothy makes everything better. (Hands Kevin his cup)
(tries it) Ugh how does turnip and wheatgrass make anything better? (A little ticked)
BenWell I like it! Besides it's also got ginger in it.
Oh ginger. That solves our problems (Sarcastically)
Seriously, Ben. Magister Gilhil pretty much just put us out of business. What are we gonna do?
Ben
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.
Ben
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.
Ben
(Mocks Kevin and changes voice) Badges? We don't need any stinking badges!
(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)
Ben
[Enraged] Dude!
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.
Me either, but I still wanna be like him.
That's why you know so much about the Plumbers and alien technology and everything.
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)
(Grabs the Highbreed's arm) Hey ugly, why don't you pick someone your own size? (throws him)
(talking to the team) I wouldn't if I were you. (Spoke in an alien language and Magister Gilhil appears)
Didn't take you kids long to get yourselves into trouble again did it?
…attacking me for no reason.
He's one of the aliens we told you about. He's attacking the Earth!
Sure kid. How about some proof?
They attacked me for no reason. They said they were Plumbers.
I've heard enough. You three are under arrest and you. I don't know what's going on here, but i'm gonna find out. You're coming with me for questioning.
MSMasked Stranger
I beg to differ. No one's going anywhere not until I make your powers my own. (Starts absorbing the power of the 4 of them. Gwen is able to shield herself)
You promised me that if I help you... (Groaned in pain and loses consciousness)
MSMasked Stranger
I can't be trusted! (Humungousaur tries to walk towards him) I almost forgot how strong you are Ben. (Humungousaur reverts to Ben)
Ben
(in a pained tone, holding his chest in pain) Who... are you... and how did you... (Realizes who the masked stranger is and widens his eyes. Looks back at Gwen who's fighting off his powers) Gwen! Run!
Ben
You've got to get away. You're our only hope! Run!! Uhhh... (Loses consciousness)
(Gwen managed to stop the masked stranger's attack and escaped)
MSMasked Stranger
You can't run forever lovely Gwen. I'll have my revenge on you too, but first things first. (We zoom over the unconscious Ben, Kevin, Gilhil, and 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.
And he scammed Big Ugly too. [The Highbreed snarls at him] Well, he did. Don't snarl at me.
Ben
I know who he is.
MSMasked Stranger
Do you really?
Ben
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?
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.
Ben
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.
(To Ben in a pained voice) If you can reach your Omnitrix… maybe Alien X.
Ben
(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]
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)
Ben
Tired.
(Holded him) Sit down and catch your breath.
MPMagister Prior Gihil
Is he okay?
Ben
(Weakly) Everything spinning... going dim... need smoothie.
(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.
Ben
What about us?
I've been giving that some thought. You guys made a difference today.
Ben
And?
Maybe I don't need to re-assign good men to this quadrant. Maybe they're already here. (Referring to the team)
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)
Ben
(Kevin started walking) Hey where are you going?
(Looked at his badge, then at Ben and Gwen) I gotta tell my mom. [Walked away with Ben and Gwen looking on]
Creeps you out? I can take care of that. (changes back into Ben)
Ben Tennyson
See? I'm really just a plain old human.
That is even worse! Be gone, foul thing! I shall traverse to the transporter alone. (Dravek makes the ground shake)
Ben Tennyson
We'll have to watch each other's backs. We don't want Draveks to get the drop on us. Or under us. You know what I mean.
Ben Tennyson
Phew! Hot enough for ya?
Ben Tennyson
No, see, I wasn't really asking. It's just an expression. It means it is hot out.
It is obviously hot. I do not see the point of reiterating what we both already know.
Ben Tennyson
Makes me glad I didn't say, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity."
There is no humidity! It is in fact the heat!
Ben Tennyson
I know! I'm just trying to make conversation.
(falls on the ground and Ben runs to help) Do not lay your hands on me, vile thing.
Ben Tennyson
Here, you can use it to keep the sun of your head. (throws Reinrassic his jacket)
I do not take charity from vermin. I merely require a moments rest. (dries up dramatically)
Ben Tennyson
Rest won't cut it. You're dehydrated already.
Now that the danger has passed. I can locate water myself. (searching for water in the ground)
Ugh, gross. (transforms back into Ben)
There is water below the sand, if one looks deeply enough. (finds water) There!
Ben Tennyson
I didn't know you Highbreeds were some kind of plants.
We are not some kind of anything. The Highbreed is the only kind.
Ben Tennyson
(referring to Dravek attack) Thanks for saving me back there... again. This is a huge thing: a sign of personal growth. Proof that underneath it all Highbreeds aren't so bad. That despite those terrible things you may have said before, you really do want to try to be friends with a human.
It was in my own interest to stop that creature from harming you.
Ben Tennyson
Yeah? Well, it's in MY interest to help anybody who needs it.
Ben Tennyson
(warming hands over fire) Pull up a boulder. Sit down.
(suspiciously) So your inferno pit can deplete me of my strength. I think not.
Ben Tennyson
It's a campfire. It's a tradition. You sit around it, and you know, talk.
To you? For what conceivable purpose?
