[At Ben's house]
(With mouthful of chili fries) You get it, Ben? The kid weighs 25 kilograms, 3 meters per second, 2 meters from the sudden merry-go-round.
(brushes off crumbs from his hands) Wait. Julie, wait. I better write this down.
Congratulations, Tennyson. You're finally putting the Omnitrix to maximum use, you know clandestine butt-kicking-wise.
What are you talking about?
Nice try. We saw you as Jetray flying away from a battle.
Look, I've been studying all week for a physics test tomorrow. It's my worst subject.
Maybe you're not really studying.
(talking to Gwen) Wait. Considering the aliens and weird transformations and stuff Ben deals with, there could be any number of explanations for what you saw.
You're saying you can vouch for his whereabouts?
No, I got here a few minutes ago. He studies and I come over to help him review. Not that he's actually acing the reviews.
(insulted) I'm getting better.
(Sarcastically) You're making a real effort.
(Talking to Ben) With Grandpa Max gone, we've got to rely on each other. If you've got a secret, you should spill it.. now!
I swear, I've been calculating the angular momentum. If I don't pass, my mom will ground me, which means minimal hero time (points at Omnitrix) and 0 Julie time (gestures to Julie). You do the math. (in a low voice) 'Cause apparently I can't.
I believe him. When you lie, your left eye twitches, but who knows, maybe you've been blackin' out and sleep fighting.
Is it possible? Is the Omnitrix making you attack your enemies in your sleep?
(Sighs) If we're going to discuss this, I need more chili fries. (notices all of the chili fries are gone) [To Julie, angered] You said you didn't want any.
[Inside Burger Shack: Albedo enters. He goes to the counter.]
[Holds up some dollars] You disgust me. You, this miasma you call food. [Angrily slams the dollars on the counter] It's foul, smelly, oily digestive preparation. Everything human reeks!
CCook
[Hands Albedo a bag of chili fries] Yeah, probably the onion.
[Takes the bag and smells it] Ugh! All the same, I find myself craving the entire, putrid experience. It must be in the DNA. [Takes out and eats some chili fries, then leaves]
[Enters and goes to the counter, then takes out some dollars and puts them on the counter] Chili fries.
CCook
Careful, kid, those double portions catch up on you. [Pats his belly]
CCook
Friendly advice: Take it or don't. [Hands Ben his own bag of chili fries. Ben takes it in annoyance]
[Outside Burger Shack: Gwen and Kevin are waiting for Ben to come out.]
[Albedo comes out of Burger Shack.]
[Wipes his mouth and burps] I sicken myself.
[Albedo activates his Omnitrix and transforms into Negative Big Chill. Negative Big Chill flies away.]
[Sees Negative Big Chill flying away] What the heck? [Drives after Negative Big Chill along with Gwen]
[Comes out of Burger Shack and sees Gwen and Kevin driving away] Guys? [Tries to run after them, but is unsuccessful] Guys! [Activates his Omnitrix and transforms into Big Chill]
Big Chill! [Flies after Gwen and Kevin]
(Talking to Negative Big Chill) Ben? Are you feeling okay? You kind of took off without us back there.
NBNegative Big Chill
(Grabs Gwen) You-you know of Ben? Where is Ben?
(pushes Albedo Big Chill) I knew you'd snap eventually! (smells Negative Big Chill's breath) Phew, chili fries. (fans the air with his left hand)
NBNegative Big Chill
Ugh, I agree.
Change back, Ben; let's go home.
Yes, it is I, Ben Tennyson. Transport me Ben 10 to my domicile. There are grave matters there of a personal nature to which I Ben 10 must attend.
(Landed and next to Gwen and Kevin) Thanks a lot guys. You left me. (Noticed Albedo and reverted to Ben)
And, uh, who's your good-looking friend?
Ben Tennyson? A most difficult creature to find, but I must see you. I am Albedo of the Galvan.
A Grey Matter? (Looks at him) Kinda tall.
I am the builder of the Omnitrix. I must have it back. Your days as Ben 10 are at an end. Remove your Omnitrix and return it.
Wait Albedo. I thought this was the only Omnitrix in the universe and anyway a guy named Azmuth built it.
But the DNAliens, the Highbreeed. I'm supposed to save the world with it.
(referring to Albedo) He could be a Highbreed trying to trick you out of it.
Maybe. Why don't you show your face? It feels a little crazy talking to myself.
If only I could. I am stuck in a sticky, sweaty, noisy, hungry, hairy, smelly teenage human body. Constantly craving chili-fries and scratching myself in places I suspect are inappropriate!
(talking to Ben) You see, your DNA is encoded as the default in your Omnitrix. Mine synchronizes across space and time with yours. You have become my default as well.
Since you built the Omnitrix, tell me how it comes off.
(confused) Yes, I trust you are versed in the practical applications of eight dimensional quantum gravity monopoly equations. (left eye twiches)
It really does twitch when I lie.
Very well, there are other ways to disarm you. (pushes Kevin and transforms into Negative Jetray)
(Negative Jetray grabs Ben)
Albedo: Guys, over here. I think I heard something.
(referring to Ben) Didn't you go the other way?
Yeah. Oh man, I should not have erased Kevin's mark.
(appears and yells) Hit the deck! (Albedo shoots Gwen and Kevin with packing foam)
(struggling to break loose) This reeks. He got us with packing foam. No leverage.
Look Albedo. You're not getting my Omnitrix.
I have all of your powers and a superior intellect. Surrender if you value your life.
'Cause that would be so much smarter. (turns into Goop)
Goop! (Albedo tries to shoot packing foam at Goop, but missed. Albedo turns into Negative Humungousaur, defeats Goop and charges at him. Goop then switches into Swampfire.)
Swampfire! (Negative Humungousaur tries to slam Swampfire with his tail, but missed.) Here's mud in your eye! (Swampfire throws a slime like substance at Negative Humungousaur's face and shoots fireballs at him.)
(Gwen cutting the packing foam with magic beams) Ow! Hot!
[Negative Humungousaur turns into Negative Big Chill. Swampfire tries to shoot fireballs at Negative Big Chill, but made himself intangible to avoid the fireballs. Negative Big Chill frozed Swampfire with his ice breath. Swampfire then switches into Brainstorm.]
Brainstorm! Tremble before my electrolocutive power, you feckless facsimile! (Brainstorm used his lightning from his brain to zap Negative Big Chill who then turned into Negative Echo Echo)
NENegative Echo Echo
Ouch! Hurt! Ouch! (Negative Echo Echo duplicated into clones of himself. Brainstorm tried to zap them, but missed.) Surrender or die! (Negative Echo Echo and his clones used sonic scream to give Brainstorm a headache.)
Deucedly difficult to cogitate. (Brainstorm then switched into Jetray)
Jetray! (Shot lasers from his tail at the Negative Echo Echo clones.)
NENegative Echo Echo
You... can't... keep... this... up! (The Negative Echo Echo clones fused into one and turned into Negative Spidermonkey and shoots a web from his tail at Jetray on the ceiling wall.)
NSNegative Spidermonkey
Your Omnitrix will lose power. Yield! Yield! YIELD! (Negative Spidermonkey punched Jetray twice until Jetray blasts him away with his laser vision. Jetray then turns into Chromastone.)
Chromastone! (Used his multicolored power from his body to free himself from the web and charged to Negative Spidermonkey) Ahh! (Suddenly reverted to Ben)
NSNegative Spidermonkey
I told you! (screeches) You have drained your Omnitrix where as mine... (Reverted to Albedo)
I don't need an Omnitrix to destroy you!
(both attempt to punch each other, but their Omnitrixes link)
(after the Omnitrix's fuse) What's going on?
Their proximity is creating a bio-energy feedback! (Albedo's jacket, shirt, eye, and hair color change)
No confusing those two now.
You have damaged this form! You will pay!
Tell me how to get these apart!
Perhaps if one of us could manage to die!
Great, now we're all trapped.
You bet he is. Azmuth of the Galvan; the true genius behind the Omnitrix. You've overloaded the thing so badly I could sense it half-a-galaxy away. Those non-stop transformations are going to break it.
(interrupts) Save it, I know. Albedo, my former assistant, built an inferior copy. I warned you that there could only be one Omnitrix. You ignored me.
(referring to Albedo) Someone's in trouble.
I will not trust the universe's fate to an unworthy human. If my Omnitrix cannot function, I will have his!
I told you the Omnitrix is beyond you. You could have doomed us all!
So the universe really was at stake?
If you'd lost the Omnitrix, yes. Albedo only wanted it to restore his original form.
This human body is unbearable!
I get that, and the face is even worse.
Albedo, through your arrogant act of rebellion, you have proven yourself a lesser being. (hop onto Albedo's arm and pulls out the core from his Omnitrix) You shall remain as you are, in a prison of your own making.
(horrified) No, you can't!
[As he teleports away] I HATE YOU!!!!!
He won't bother you again. You're on your own from here.
I still have a few questions. Like what's the watch really for, and how many aliens can I... (interrupted)
Look, kid, you alone have made the Omnitrix a force for good in ways I never conceived. It's better, I think, to allow you to create your own way of using it, no question. For all my concerns, you're the only being worthy to wear it – and I'm not the only one who thinks so.
My business. It's a... surprise.
There are difficult trials ahead. Be ready. (Teleports away)
First trial is your physics test in about three hours.
[Scene changes to Ben in a high school classroom the next day]
[dismayed] Oh, man. [his teacher is handing him, Julie and the other students back their graded physics tests; Julie receives an A on her test and he receives a C+ on his; later at Mr Smoothy, showing Gwen his test] C+ and you thought I wasn't really studying.
I'm sorry. The suspicious circumstances made me… suspicious.
And I'm sorry I thought it was you kicking butt.
Fair enough… I suppose. Don't know how much I like Azmuth not letting Albedo turn back. Like that's a punishment. Being me isn't so bad. (drinks his smoothie)
[Albedo is sitting in a cell somewhere in space, sulking]
Why bother with a cell? This human body is prison enough.
[A slot on his door opens.]
[A green rod made of alien food is pushed in. It rolls over to Albedo's feet. He picks it up.]
But some day I will be free, then they will all suffer, starting with Ben Tennyson. Until that day– [Throws his food against the wall, causing it to shatter] BRING ME CHILI FRIES!!!
I cannot stress enough the importance of flossing.
I found this in my teeth. I think something may be going wrong with my powers.
Uh huh (curious) What do you know about girls?
...Okay that has nothing to do with my problem. What do you want to know?
Gwen's school is having some dance.
I think she might expect me to take her.
But the dance is at Gwen's fancy prep school...with a sit down dinner and everything. What if she expects me to waltz. What if I use the incorrect finger fork.
If she wants you to dance, dance.
(cuts Ben off) But, I don't know how...
(cuts Kevin off) And, there's no such thing as a finger fork.
See, if I was a preppy guy, I'd know stuff like that.
You've saved the world. You've been to the Null Void and back. I'm sure you can handle the spring formal. But I'm having problems...
(cuts Ben off) I should go rent a video on dancing, and maybe one on forks. Just to be safe.
