[After Ben turns into Alien X for the second time in a long time]
It could work. Alien X can do anything.
Gwen Tennyson
Only if Ben can convince Alien X to cooperate.
Yep. That's all he has to do.
[Inside Alien X's mind…]
SSerena
[happily] Ben Tennyson. Motion to greet our honored guest and hear him out.
BBellicus
Motion denied. Motion to ignore him for a thousand years, at which point we set him on fire for a second thousand years.
SSerena
Bellicus, vengeance is not our way.
BBellicus
Vengeance is absolutely my way!
SSerena
I know he hurt your feelings when he abandoned us. He hurt mine, too.
Yeah, I'm totally sorry. I need your power to save-
SSerena
We have to vote on it.
BBellicus
Point of order, we don't have to do anything unless we both agree.
This is bigger than you and me! The whole universe is at stake!
SSerena
You're being obstinate, dear.
[Ben shakes his head in disbelief and Professor Paradox appears]
You will not convince Serena and Bellicus to help you, not today.
SSerena
Are to-- [notices Paradox] Time Walker! You are not welcome here! [Bellicus notices him as well]
BBellicus
Agreed: Motion to punish Paradox for ignoring the treaty between him and Celestialsapien race.
(to Ben) I'm not supposed to get within 500 light years of them.
BBellicus
Motion to destroy Professor Paradox!
I'm not 11 anymore, but... yeah.
[moves forward to shake Young Ben's hand]
Gwen Tennyson
Not smart, Kevin. He thinks you're still evil.
I'm not evil. I'm nuanced.
Whatever you're trying to pull, Levin, it's not gonna work. It's hero time!
Since you need to cool off, I vote Big Chill!
(Transforms into NRG)
NRG! (groans) Can't I catch a break?
I'll break something for ya!
(Knocks NRG down, NRG blasts Heatblast high into the air. Gwen catches him and puts him down)
Gwen Tennyson
Be careful Ben! It's dangerous out here!
(Transforms back to normal)
Gwen Tennyson
Look at me Ben, you recognize Kevin. You must know who I am.
[Thinks for a moment] ...Dweeb, what happened to you?
You have travelled in time. That's Gwen, that's Kevin, and... I'm you.
Please. I would never turn into anything THAT lame.
[NRG changes to Ben] I'm you, 6 years later, and Kevin 11 is a good guy now.
Everything's not a game. What we do is important. If you can't see that, maybe you are just a kid.
You think I don't know? When it's hero time, if I mess up, somebody could die. From what you told me, if we mess up, everybody could die.
Gwen Tennyson
That's right.
Maybe that's too much to have in your head when you have to win. Maybe if I pretend everything's a big joke, when the time comes, I'll be able to do what I have to do.
Gwen Tennyson
[to Ben] Is that why you're so arrogant all the time? Because you're scared?
No, I'm actually oblivious.
[As Ultimate Kevin was about to kill Aggregor, the Bens and Gwen intervened]
When I finish him, then it'll be enough!
Gwen Tennyson
That's not you talking! Absorbing energy makes Osmosians lose control!
Yeah? Well, I like being out of control. Maybe I should absorb the Alien X power for myself.
I can't let you do that, Kevin!
You can’t stop me, either. I deserve that power. I'm the one who gets turned into a monster. I'm the one nobody ever trusts or cares about.
Gwen Tennyson
That's not true!
Face it, Gwen. Whatever I look like, I'm a freak!
You're a jerk. You're always been a jerk. People try to be nice to you, but you can't ever see it. You're too busy feeling sorry for yourself.
[growls at Young Ben but then sighs depressingly] Maybe I'll try it your way, kid. At least for today, but tomorrow… [Flies off]
Gwen Tennyson
Kevin!
He's crazier than he was before.
[to Young Ben] You'll think it was a dream, but one day, you will remember it dimly and trust Kevin when you shouldn't, and he'll respond to that trust and help save the universe.
And then turn evil again.
The story isn't over, Ben. When the moment comes, you'll do what needs to be done. That is your greatest gift.
Gwen Tennyson
Goodbye, Ben. Try being nicer to your cousin. [kisses Young Ben on the cheek]
[blushing] Aw, why did you have to go do that?
We must also take our leave before the locals take notice of my presence.
Gwen Tennyson
What about Kevin?
Don't worry, Gwen. I'll take care of him.
Gwen Tennyson
Kevin's been missing for over a week.
Not missing. He left us. His choice.
Gwen Tennyson
No, Ben. He touched the Ultimatrix to save us. It's not his fault the power affected his mind.
Maybe not. But fair or not, he has to pay the price.
[The Tennyson cousins meet Barry in a hospital room after his encounter with Ultimate Kevin]
BBarry
It was insane! I'm at lunch, right? And this monster shows up and says that it's Kevin Levin. He claims I owe him eight bucks that I borrowed from him five years ago. So… so I say I don't remember borrowing any money from him, and, well... You can see what happened next.
Gwen Tennyson
We're really sorry about this, Barry. All of your hospital expenses will be taken care of.
BBarry
So, that (monster) was really Kevin? What's wrong with him?
He's been settling old scores… big ones, small ones. It's all the same to him.
Gwen Tennyson
He's not well. He didn't mean to hurt you.
Gwen Tennyson
Most of the prisoners are escaping. Shouldn't we do something?
They're out of prison, but they're stuck in the Null Void. That's probably punishment enough. Gwen, you see what Kevin is capable of now.
Gwen Tennyson
That's why we have to help him.
I think we're past that... I think...we have to put him down.
Gwen Tennyson
(shocked) What's that supposed to mean?
