[lets go of Ben] No problem.
And everything is on track. Ujin, I apologize for the damage to your magnificent temple. Please continue to guard--
UUjin
The temporal mainspring!
Professor, should we not be pursuing the thieves?
In good time, Rook. The future unfolds as it must.
UUjin
Wait, you stick me in this hope for eons guarding that piece of junk, and then when it gets jacked, all you got to say is "in good time"?!
Did I mention it's fifth season on Galvan Prime? [opens a portal] A hot wind blows from the north and the females' faces become dry and crusty
UUjin
Whoop! Time to go home, folks.
[to Ben] You're okay to ride?
No please, why don't you two keep steaming up South America with your--
[hits Skurd on the Time Cycle side] I'm good Kai.
[walking away] Alright, Mr. Tennyson.
[frustrated] Ugh! That again?! Ben, there is no way we are married in the future.
I know, stop being so... ugh! [walks away]
[Charmcaster's bag: Gwen lands on Addwaitya's back.]
[Gets off Addwaitya's back] Huh?
[Addwaitya stands up with his back turned to Gwen. He turns around.]
Don't move, Addwaitya! I'm a lot more powerful now than the last time we fought. [Tries to uses her powers on Addwaitya, but her powers disappear]
Your posturing while adorable is quite pointless, Lovely Gwen.
[Tries to use her powers] Eradiko! Portallus Projectum! Berdi Mordo– Nata! [Nothing happens] What did you do to my powers?
HHex
This is not any of our doing, Gwendolyn.
Speak for yourself, "Uncle Hex". Charmcaster is your niece.
AAddwaitya
Dare not speak that wretched name in my presence.
Or what? You'll yell even louder?
AAddwaitya
I shall yell as loudly as I wish, whenever I wish!
HHex
It is good to see you again, Gwendolyn. I'm only sorry that it's because you are now trapped here forever too.
There's got to be a way out.
HDHex, Darkstar, and Addwaitya
[In unison] There isn't.
HDHex, Darkstar, and Addwaitya
[In unison] Yes.
HDHex, Darkstar, and Addwaitya
[In unison] Yes.
Look, we each know a lot about magic. If we put our heads together–
HHex
[About Addwaitya] His head is on fire.
[To Hex] Yours is a skull.
[Angrily] Come on! Work with me, people!
AAddwaitya
I refuse to divulge even one shred of my knowledge of magic to such unworthy recipients as you.
Good. Maybe we'll be spared the sound of your voice for a change.
[Turns away and sighs in exasperation] I'd pity anyone who got stuck with one of you as a college roommate.
[In the future, outside the Plumber Headquarters, Maltruant makes a getaway in his chariot pulled by a Time Beast. He disappears in a flash of red light, leaving Ben and Rook behind. Ben lets Spanner to the ground and hands him off to Ben 10,000 and Kai.]
[Ben floats up to their Time Cycles. Just as he tries to get in, Professor Paradox appears from a portal.]
Hurry, Benjamin. [removes goggles] You haven't much time.
Ugh. "Time" pun. Good one, Professor Paradox.
[Paradox opens a portal and summons a Time Beast egg. He opens a hatch on the Time Cycles and places it inside.]
Leave now, and you may still catch Maltruant in the timestream. [closes hatch] If not, then this Time Beast's egg will power your journey to places beyond even my reach.
[Ben and Rook sit in their Time Cycles.]
I know you will not fail.
[The Time Cycles close their windshields and Skurd appears before Ben.]
[The Time Cycles blast off and disappear in a green flash. In the timestream, Maltruant's chariot is pulled along. The Time Cycles suddenly appear behind him, and he fires off missiles at them. They swerve around them.]
Do maintain a safe distance.
[Ben flies the Time Cycles up to Maltruant's chariot and rams it. The Time Beast is forced out of the timestream, but the chariot remains inside.]
Ben, be careful. We do not want to end up like that Time Beast.
[The Time Cycles swerve away.]
[Ben once again rams the chariot, causing both parties to exit the timestream.]
[The Time Cycles crash-land in a forest on Earth. Ben crawls out of his Time Cycle.]
[groans; chuckles] That could've gone worse.
Worse?! You tore through the fabric of existence with no regard for our safety. Our quarry is gone, and we are lost in time!
If we're lost, so is Maltruant. Besides, Paradox put me in charge, so we do this my way. This is not a democracy.
[Someone steps before the trio.]
[Rook draws his Proto-Tool. The person steps out the shadows, revealing themselves to be George Washington, armed with a musket.]
