[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]
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.
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?
Wait. SevenSeven, like that guy, SixSix, we used to fight?
He's the same race as SixSix, but far more dangerous.
GwenYeah, eleven more dangerous.
[snapping his fingers in front of Alien X's face to get his attention] Hello? Anybody home in there?
Gwen
Ben, come on. SevenSeven's getting away with the princess. Ben, are you okay? Ben?
[Inside Alien X's mind…]
This is awesome! Quick, how do I make something else happen?
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.
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.
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.
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]
Gwen
You can't just stuff him in the trunk!
You're right, he doesn't fit.
Gwen
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.
People of Earth, your time is up. Bring me the royal detonator.
Gwen
[begging] Don't do it! (Milleous laughs and presses the button) No!
Of course not. My daughter's still there. But the conquest ray did fire, now. Put the little pretty one up on the screen now.
(Pluto is shown on the screen)
Gwen
Pretty? Uh, it's a barren, frozen wasteland.
(The conquest ray hits Pluto and is destroyed)
Was a barren, frozen wasteland. [grins]
(Gwen gasps in shock)
Gwen
He blew it up.
Look at the bright side, this should smooth out Neptune's orbit.
Yes, and Earth will be in smaller pieces if Princess Attea isn't returned to me.
Gwen
(Yells out) That makes no sense!
(Whispers into Gwen's ear) Gwen... Evil dictator.
Gwen
Earth can't even communicate with you!
AAttendant
(In voice message) Incoming message from Earth, your violent highness. (Emperor Milleous looks at her)
Gwen
What do I know?
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.
Gwen
So much for the great dictator. And since Earth isn't in harm's way anymore, we're done. I'll get Ben.
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]
Gwen
Ben, what happened to you back there?
Well, no way am I ever becoming Alien X again.
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]
Ben you sure this is the place?
That's what the tip said.
Yeah that's what worries me. You don't get tips. I get tips. You got no connections.
Come on Kevin. I got connections.
Gwen
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...
You've got a record. You've done time in the Null Void for a variety of crimes.
Gwen
(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!
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)
(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.
Oh ginger. That solves our problems (Sarcastically)
Gwen
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.
Gwen
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.
(Mocks Kevin and changes voice) Badges? We don't need any stinking badges!
(Enraged) You think this is a joke?! (Grabs and lifts Ben)
Gwen
Kevin, let him go! (Kevin violently throws Ben onto the hood of his car)
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.
Gwen
I never met your dad.
Me either, but I still wanna be like him.
Gwen
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)
Gwen
I brought you a present. (Throws Kevin a wooden ball)
(catches it) What's this?
Gwen
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.
Gwen
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.
Thank you, but it doesn't really work that way. I need a lot of whatever i'm copying.
Gwen
Oh.
And what makes you think I'm still helping you guys anyway?
Gwen
(Holded his hand and Kevin absorbed her skin) Because you've changed.
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.
Looks like I picked the wrong day to give up fighting monsters. (Absorbs metal from his car)
Gwen
It's a Highbreed. Ben said they're too strong for us.
Well, Ben ain't here. (Attacked the Highbreed)
(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)
(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!
Gwen
What?!
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.
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?
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.
(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.
Gwen
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?
Gwen
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]
Gwen
The Highbreed is gone.
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)
Gwen
(Holded him) Sit down and catch your breath.
MPMagister Prior Gihil
Is he okay?
(Weakly) Everything spinning... going dim... need smoothie.
Gwen
He's fine.
