Hey, it's that dork from the photo, the paradox guy.
You haven't changed at all in 50 years.
Professor Paradox
Oh, considerably more than that. Gumball?
No, thanks. Who are you? What's your name?
Professor Paradox
You just read my file. I was rather hoping you could tell me. It slipped my mind several hundred years ago.
Those trails. They're not burned marks, they're age. The creature accelerates time!
Professor Paradox
Very good!
[charging at the trans-dimensional creature] Not so fast, ugly! [punches the creature, but it causes his hand to wrinkle and ages forward into an old man]
[reverting back] Just touching that thing aged him, 60, 80 years? We've got to get him to a hospital.
What are you doing? Get your hands off me.
Come on, Kevin, we're going to get you some help.
What do you mean, "help?" I'm gonna kick that thing's keister! [kicks his foot and his back spine pops] Oy!
My back is killing me, my legs ache, and what's up with these shoes? Is it too much to ask for a little support?
He's like a real irritable, short-tempered, crotchety old man.
In other words, aside from the male-pattern baldness, he's pretty much the same as always. Come on, old man. I'll take those. [takes the car keys out of Old Kevin's hand as he's trying to insert them into something]
What do you think you're doing?
Don't even think about it, you don't have a license.
Grandpa Max taught me, and it's an emergency. You're nearsighted, arthritic, your reflexes are shot, and you're trying to unlock a cactus.
[Zoom out to reveal that Old Kevin was trying to unlock a cactus, mistaking it for his car]
[sitting in the backseat; to Gwen] You should've gone out with me when I was young and handsome.
[backs up and accidentally bumps into some trash cans; embarrassingly] Whoops! (My bad.)
[to Ben as he and Gwen carry him after getting out of the car] You are never driving my car again!
[Parts from Kevin's car fall apart]
Professor Paradox
Where have you been? You were supposed to get here six seconds ago. Or this thing running fast?
Who are you anyway? What are you doing here?
Professor Paradox
There's something different about you. Is it your hair?
Yeah, I'm parting it down the middle now, and I also got real old!
Professor Paradox
Don't talk to me about old. I walk in eternity.
Well, you better start running ineternity, smart guy!
Professor Paradox
I'll tell you my story in a way that you can understand. With a beginning, middle and end. We'll start in the middle. Los Solidad was built entirely because of my ingenious theory. A time tunnel utilizing properties which I discovered in quartz crystals. Which allows us access past and future events.
Well for a genius it looks like you blew it.
Professor Paradox
You don't know the half of it. So some tiny miscalculation on my part destabilized the experiment and ripped a hole in the fabric of reality. I was hurled into the event horizon. I must have spent 100,000 years there. I didn't age, or need to sleep or eat. Just exist.
Heh, sounds pretty boring.
Professor Paradox At first, I went mad of course, but after a few millennia, I got bored with that too, and went sane. Very Sane. I began to learn. I now have total understanding of the space/time continuum, allowing me to travel anywhere and anywhen I want. Within reason of course.
Professor Paradox
Azmuth, come with me.
There's no point, time walker. The Highbreed Armada caught us totally by surprise. Galvin's planetary defenses are down. We don't have a chance! Without the Galvin, no other race in the galaxy has a chance, either.
Professor Paradox
But - and I hesitate to say this to the smartest being in the universe - that's where you're wrong.
Professor Paradox
We do have a chance - the chance you made for us.
That is not what the Omnitrix is for!
Professor Paradox
The boy has proven more than once that it can be used for purposes beyond what you intended.
Professor Paradox
Come with me to Earth.
I'm not leaving my home, not now.
Professor Paradox
(walks near Azmuth) And I'm not going back without you. (a Highbreed warship charges up a powerful beam and fires it straight at Azmuth and Paradox's location) I hope that you sincerely reconsider in the next 3 seconds or so. (Azmuth looks at Paradox, beam hits their location, Azmuth and Paradox teleport away in the nick of time)
Ah. I'm all warmed up. It's game time!
Professor Paradox
I'm afraid the time for games has passed, my friend.
Professor Paradox
And one other. Come with me.
Professor Paradox
Has been quite a day, hasn't it?
[startled] Would you stop doing that!
Professor Paradox
Oh. Very well, of I go. [walks away]
No! Please, don't go anywhere!
Professor Paradox
Actually in my case, it's less of a "where" than it is a "when".
You know what happened here?
Professor Paradox
You happened. When you went back in time and kept Kevin from mutating.
Professor Paradox
And every plan has unintended consequenses. For instance, Hex and Charmcaster tried to take over the world, as is their want. You, Ben and Kevin swung into action, you were humanity's last line of defense. Only, there was a weak link.
Professor Paradox
Oh no, dear. Not you. Kevin. Because you went into the past and undid that explosion, you kept him from mutating. Ergo, the new Kevin, or, eh, the old Kevin, lacked the powers that would have allowed him to stop Hex and so the bad guys won.
Professor Paradox
I warned you that time travel is for immortals and fools. I'm the only immortal hereabouts. You do the math.
Professor Paradox
Careful. Gravity is not your friend.
Kevin. What did she do to thim?
Professor Paradox
It amused her to bind him with the same spell she uses to control her rock creatures.
Oh, Clumsy, Clumsy Kevin! (chuckles)
I'll save you, Kevin! I promise.
Professor Paradox
That's the sort of thing that got you in trouble in the first place.
Professor Paradox
He fought bravely, but eventually, they caught him too. Pity. After you died, he was the planet's last hope.
Professor Paradox
Yes! Dead! You! Why are we talking this way?
I'm not dead. I'm right here.
Professor Paradox
Yes. That's one of the odd things about time travel.
I have to change everything back... make it the way it was.
Professor Paradox
I suppose it wouldn't do any harm to try. However, stealing the book of spells won't be quite so easy this time around, what with all those Rock Monsters, Hex and Charmcaster's heightened powers. Ah, youth. They never listen.
(after fighting Charmcaster and sending her to the ground) Killing me is not cool! (hits Charmcaster with her mana again)
Gwen? But I saw Charmcaster. You were fighting her, and she...
I know, Ben. It's all my fault.
The Omnitrix... when it blew up... only i-it didn't, but it should have and it would have if only I hadn't tried to fix everything.
Um, I know I'm kind of messed up, but you're not making any sense.
I'll explain when I get you out of here.
Oh, sure. Like that's going to happen.
You handle the rock monsters. I'll take Charmcaster.
I already lost you once. I'm not gonna let that happen again.
It's time to write the last chapter in this sad little saga.
Thanks anyway, Hex. But I'm not much of a reader! Let's get out of here before they have a chance to...
Hold them off, Ben. I need time to cast a spell.
And that'll fix everything? Do what you can. I trust you.
Quis Quondam Eram Afflictus. Iam Vicis Mos Redintegro. Quis Venit Pro --
G3Gwen #3
You will never forgive yourself if you let this happen.
Don't listen to her! They're from her future and she doesn't know what she's talking about.
G3Gwen #3
Oh, come on! How do I know you're not an impostor?
(sighs) The lock on our locker is broken. We leave it hanging there so it looks closed.
G3Gwen #3
All right, you're me. But I still think we should save Kevin.
G2Gwen #2
You guys need to make up our mind.
Already done. Paradox was right. We have to let it happen the way it did the first time.
G3Gwen #3
We can't keep Kevin from mutating?
No. We can't. And just to make sure she doesn't try, I'm gonna make her forget everything that happened. Come on. We don't belong here.
G2Gwen #2
Ben, that doesn't look right. Turn it off!
Never mind that. It's overloading. Dump the watch!
It'll take too long! Run for it, both of you!
What have you been doing up here all day? You missed the whole game.
I was working on a project. I lost track of time.
Want to go to Mr. Smoothy? It's Ben's treat. What was that for?
Professor Paradox
Hello, young persons.
Paradox? What are you doing here?
Professor Paradox
No. Everything's fine.
