He's going after Colonel Rozum?
But the colonel's not here. He flew back to Patrick air force base in Florida.
We've got to assume that's where the prisoner's headed, too.
We have to protect Rozum.
And his family. That's where he's stationed, so they live there.
Kevin LevinThe Rustbucket III can still beat Rozum back to the base.
We can be waiting there when he arrives and catch the prisoner when he tries.
Then the three of you get going. I'll call ahead and get you clearance.
Kevin Levin
Now what?
We wait. Grandpa radioed Rozum. He knows what's happening. His plane will be here in 45 minutes.
Guys, is there any chance that the prisoner could have chameleon-like powers that would let him blend in with backgrounds so that he's practically invisible?
He could be anywhere on the base. How do we find him?
We track his scent. [transforms into Wildmutt]
[deep voice] Wildmutt! [Wildmutt and Kevin look at her] What? He can't talk. Somebody had to do it.
Kevin Levin
I'm gonna say he went that away. Ahhh.
P7Prisoner 775
Leave me be! I intend to balance the scales!
Kevin Levin
You want to balance scales? Go on a diet. Unh! [sighs] Gone again!
I can sense his manna! He's to your right!
Kevin Levin
Unh!
He moved! He's to your left!
Kevin Levin
Unh!
He's back to your left! No, no, no! Behind you!
Kevin Levin
Unh! Thanks for the help, Gwen!
He's too fast! He's -- Unh!
Wherever you are, stay away from my family!
P7Prisoner 775
You're going to live, Rozum... Just long enough to see what it's like to lose your family.
They have nothing to do with this!
P7Prisoner 775
Neither did mine.
[Wildmutt growling]
P7Prisoner 775
Lease your overgrown pet! He's no match for me!
[Wildmutt slams his Ultimatrix]
UWUltimate Wildmutt
Ultimate Wildmutt!
I was gonna do that for you.
UWUltimate Wildmutt
Tell you what, you can clean up what's left of him.
P7Prisoner 775
Let go of me, you stupid --
[Ultimate Wildmutt roars]
P7Prisoner 775
Do it. Finish me. Come on! Let me join my family. Do it. Do it!... Please do it! Please finish me. I've got... nothing.
[scanning Prisoner 775's DNA] Alien DNA scanned and recognized. Merlinisapiens, unlocked and available on Playlist 5.
Hey, guys, check it out. (activates Ultimatrix)
CChamAlien
Overkill! Well? Well? (Gwen and Kevin walk away) Too soon?
I'm sure he's behind the disappearance of area 51. I want to be there for questioning.
Why? Because you think we're gonna torture him and you don't want to miss it?
I expect you'll do whatever it takes.
Then I'm happy to disappoint you. That's not how the plumbers do things. You still don't get it, colonel. Earth's in violation of interstellar law. You don't seem to realize the enormity of what you've done.
I realize it fine, Max. And under the same circumstances, I'd do the exact same thing. When it comes to choosing between a few hundred aliens and my country's safety, well, that's just a no-brainer.
[The team is at Mr. Smoothy gazing up at the stars in the night sky]
Hey, do you guys realize it's been two days since anyone tried to kill me, arrest me, or ask me for an autograph?
Then let me apologize in advance for my timing.
Kevin Levin
Well, well, well. If it isn't the con artist formerly known as prince.
Wait! I can certainly understand your ire.
You lied to us, Simian… you used us and sold us out to the Highbreed!
And I'm sorry, but things have changed, and now I have no choice but to humbly beg for your help, oh, great Ben Tennyson, hero to all worlds.
Kevin Levin
Oh, this is gonna be good.
The Highbreed weren't exactly pleased when you caught on to my little deception before.
You mean when you tried to trick us into taking out the Plumbers' communications system so Earth would be defenseless against the alien invasion?
Yeah. That's the one. [voice-over during a flashback] I was able to distract them long enough to escape, taking along a few valuables to compensate me for my troubles. I sold a certain item to a powerful client named Mizaru, a collector of unusual animals. Honestly, I was only trying to make a fair profit. I had no idea this would happen.
[Back to the present]
Are you telling me you willingly brought a Xenocite to your home world and turned it loose on some crime boss?!
I didn't turn it loose, he did! And now the DNAliens are spreading all over. In a few days, there won't be a single unaffected Arachnichimp left on the planet. I… I need your help.
Kevin Levin
Not buying it. Nobody's that stupid.
Maybe. But can we really take that chance? A whole planet of innocent Arachnichimps turned into mutant monsters?
It won't hurt to check it out. If he's telling the truth, we need to do something about it.
Kevin Levin
And if it's just another con?
[Simian and the team arrive on his home planet and the forest is covered in snow]
Sure gets dark fast around here.
The forest is always dark below the canopy.
Kevin Levin
Not much heat either, huh?
That's not normal. It certainly never snows here.
Probably weather machines. The DNAliens like it cold.
Mizaru's palace is this way.
[As the team follow Simian along the way, Ben's Ultimatrix starts beeping]
Hold up. The Ultimatrix is detecting a signal.
Kevin Levin
DNAliens?
Matrix core detected in range. Version code: Unitrix.
Kevin Levin
All right, monkey boy. Spill.
I don't know. And if it doesn't have anything to do with saving this planet, I don't care.
That's where we differ. Before we do anything else, we're going to find Eunice.
Matrix core detected in range. Version code: Unitrix.
[Gwen, Kevin and Simian follow him, but once they arrive at Eunice's location, she is nowhere to be seen]
You have arrived at the matrix core. Version code: Unitrix. Ending route guidance system.
I don't get it. It says she's right here.
Directions are different in the trees. You're thinking in two dimensions. Look out!
[to Eunice, while meeting her for the first time] How come you fight so much like an Arachnichimp?
Because I'm a Unitrix. I can take on the power of whatever creatures are near me.
[puzzled] Like a living Omnitrix.
Kevin Levin
Now he's trying to figure out how much he could get if he sold you.
[The team and Simian follow her to a cave where an Arachnichimp family is hiding]
HHaplar
Eunice, thank goodness you're back.
This is Haplar and his family. [gestures to Simian] Other than your friend here, they're the only unaffected Arachnichimps I've seen in days. I came here to investigate irregularities with the Arachnichimp DNA in the codon stream on Primus, but as soon as I got near the planet, my ship was blasted out of the sky. [voice-over on a flashback of the events] I didn't even have time to grab my equipment before I was captured. The DNAlien Arachnichimps brought me and what was left of my ship to their leader: Mizaru. Mizaru didn't know me, but he recognized my ship as Galvan and decided to hold me for ransom. I had to get out of there and try to save the rest of the Arachnichimps from pending extinction. [back to the present] I've been on the run ever since. I met Haplar a short time later, and I've been helping his family to hide and find food, but we can't hold out forever. They may very well already be the last of their kind.
We came to help, but I'm not sure how. The DNA repair guns we brought from Earth didn't work.
Those guns were built to restore human DNA. Naturally, they have no affect on Arachnichimps.
Kevin Levin
Naturally.
As for the Ultimatrix, Azmuth gave me a one-way subspace connection to Primus so I can upload DNA samples.
"Parallel signal interference." [to Ben] That's why your powers aren't working.
Link to Primus re-established. All functions available.
That's more like it. Now I can cure the DNAlien Arachnichimps.
No. The Ultimatrix doesn't have that capability. But the equipment in my ship does.
Kevin Levin
Then what are we waiting for? We go to your ship, zap all the mutant monkeys back to normal, and we're home in time for dinner.
I was hoping you'd say that. Come, Haplar. It's time.
[Haplar looks at his wife, who's tearing up]
Wait. Why does he have to go?
EEuince
Because I need an original DNA sample for my equipment to work. Haplar volunteered.
[steps forward] You stay with your family, Haplar. This mess is partly my fault, anyway.
Kevin Levin
"Partly?"
I'll provide the DNA sample. Let's get going.
[Ben, Kevin and Julie leave the building after Ben accidentally laughed inappropriately at Conduit Edwards, angering Julie]
Okay, you're not into it. I get it! That's fine. But did you have to laugh in his face?!
Julie, it was an accident. Sometimes I laugh inappropriately in awkward situations.
You're a terrible boyfriend! [Ben laughs, then covers his mouth, realizing he messed up again] I'm not talking to you. [turns to walk away]
Kevin Levin
In Ben's defense, you're way too smart to be buying into this junk.
[turns around, having to have heard that; offended] Which junk is that, Kevin? The "using technology to help people" junk or maybe the "modernizing of hospitals and schools" junk? So what is it, the existence of aliens?
Kevin Levin
Well…
Oh, right… because we've never seen aliens before. [to Ben] How many different aliens can you turn into now? 50?
And yet, believing in aliens is laughable?
Say Diagon is real. It still wouldn't be right to use his alien tech to change the planet.
Kevin Levin
Ben's right. They got rules for that stuff.
[The team is hanging out at Burger Shack later that evening]
[eating his burger] Talk about what?
Kevin Levin
The Julie thing. [eats his burger]
I know! She's doing volunteer work for a crooked organization and she can't even see it.
Come on, guys. Give Julie some credit. She's not a dope.
True, but that doesn't mean she can't get in over her head.
With a charity group? What's the problem?
Her heart's in the right place, but that guy reminds me of a used-car salesman.
Kevin Levin
Kevin: Even if these guys were legit, their mission goes against plumber rules and interstellar law.
You think they really have access to alien tech?
KKevin
Doubt it. Smells more like a multilevel marketing scam. Getting your suckers to get more suckers -- charity for profit.
Yeah, conduit wouldn't know alien tech if it was staring him right in the face.
[Gwen and Kevin's plumber badges start beeping]
Speaking of alien tech, looks like we've got a lead on that stolen plumber ship.
Grandpa Max called while you were getting your burger and a side of sulk.
Kevin Levin
The ship got jacked on a routine run of this quadrant. What do you say we skip dessert and do a little follow-up?
You guys can handle it without me, right?
Have some apologizing to do?
I'm telling you, it's just wrong.
Kevin Levin
Pretending to be you in a stage show for money? Sure is… unless they pay you.
Right? I mean, no. [pause] I mean, aren't there laws about this, facial copyright or something?
According to their website, this show sells out everywhere it plays. People are driving miles to see you.
Kevin Levin
Kind of seems like a compliment.
Compliment?! Did you see that guy's hair?
Okay, nice work on the priorities.
Kevin Levin
Remember, before we do anything, we find out all the facts.
Since when did you become the voice of reason?
Kevin Levin
Since you two became theatre critics.
[angered] I am perfectly calm! [her hand glows and shakes it] Okay, now I'm perfectly calm.
Kevin Levin
I don't see what you're so sore about. I'm not even in the show.
This Ultimatrix is just an overgrown strobe light. Between that and the smoke, he blinded the audience long enough to cover the aliens' entrances and exits.
Kevin Levin
So, you've been going around the country, doing this act for...
Ever since I escaped from Vilgax's ship. Every second-rate resort, sales convention, and county fair. In one night, out the next.
But now you're gonna stop, right?
What, and give up show business?
Oh, I am so going to clobber you!
Oh, but what's the point?
What's the point?! I'll tell you what's the point! How many times has Albedo stolen the Omnitrix, or the Ultimatrix, or kidnapped you, or, might I add tried to kill me?! And-and now, here he is again, ripping me off, using my face to fool people, and steal their money with this ridiculous dog-and-phony show!
Kevin Levin
Feel better?
Ben, if you want to shutdown "Ben 10 Live," fine. My dad's a lawyer. Let him handle it.
I don't like him either, but Albedo isn't a threat anymore. He's a nuisance.
You needn't worry. Tonight was our last performance.
HHugh
What?! B-But what about--
All right. But try anything like this again, and I'll… I'll…
Yeah! That! [he, Gwen and Kevin then walk out of the building to the Rustbucket ship] I still think he deserved a major beat down.
Kevin Levin
Why waste the energy? You won, he lost. End of story.
[repairing the Ultimatrix] Your sacrifice reset the Ultimatrix. The flaw that generated the self-actualized Ultimates has been corrected. Any Ultimates generated from this moment forth will simply be reflections of you, as was always intended.
But I jumped into the pit. Why am I still alive? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
Your intention was what mattered to the Ultimatrix-- the fact that you were willing to sacrifice everything in order to set them free. Genuine self-sacrifice-- more rare than astatine or francium. That's twice today I have found a small measure of hope… a very disturbing pattern.
SUSentient Ultimate Humungousaur
Glad you're all happy, but where do we go when the only home we've ever known... Is in that device?
Kevin Levin
You can always go back in. [Sentient Ultimate Humungousaur scowls at him] Or not.
Somewhere out there is a planet where you can be free.
And I can take you there. [opens a portal and the other sentient Ultimate aliens follow him]
SUSentient Ultimate Humungousaur
We were wrong about you. I was wrong.
Given the circumstances, I can't say I blame you.
Colonel Rozum. This must be pretty embarrassing for you.
Kevin Levin
He probably means the way we saved the Air Force's butt last time, even though you were involved in all kinds of dirty ops.
Kevin Levin
And now he needs another favor.
So, what brings us to the department of weird today?
Have you heard of the pacific garbage vortex?
Of course. Approximately billion tons of non-biodegradable plastics are dumped into the oceans every year. Currents collect this and untold trillions of pounds of other refuse into gigantic floating islands of garbage. The pacific garbage vortex is the largest in the world.
Kevin Levin
She can't help it if she's a reader.
How much garbage are we talking about here?
It's twice the size of Texas.
Kevin Levin
That's a lot of garbage.
That's what the public knows. What they don't know is that the area around the vortex has become a dead zone, a dangerous place where ships tend to... Disappear. 18 months ago, my sister was on a ship that sailed too close to the vortex. After she went missing, I sent two of my best agents to investigate. They disappeared, too. Now my bosses upstairs are telling me to shut the investigation down… officially.
So you need someone to investigate… unofficially.
Told you we were gonna do something fun.
No kidding. I've never smelled anything this bad.
Kevin Levin
Not since the last time you…
Let the easy ones go, Kevin. This is all man-made… all of it.
People were careless about where they threw away their trash. Regular debris degrades over time, but not plastic. It doesn't break down. The currents push it all together, and it becomes… this.
Kevin Levin
This reminds me of that show.
Kevin Levin
The cartoon… The one we used to watch when we were kids. You know, the one where they're always fighting polluters. And those five kids fought evil with, like, the power to recycle? You know what I'm talking about. What was the name of that show? Was it, like, "Earth-man" or… or "Major Green"? Something like that? I have the theme song stuck in my head. [humming the Captain Planet theme song] You know it, right? It's gonna come to me, I know it.
LAgent Locke
Excuse my partner. He's prone to being overly dramatic.
BAgent Bryson
Am I overly dramatic? Am I really?
Kevin Levin
No way. This is like that other show that I used to watch! With the two agents who went around investigating weird stuff. What was the name of that show?
Can you stop talking about old TV shows for five minutes?!
Kevin Levin
It'll come to me.
