BAgent Bryson
The bacterium mutated the garbage, turned it into a toxic ecological nightmare.
That explains the giant birds, and maybe even the island moving by itself.
LAgent Locke
That's just the beginning of the weird.
Kevin LevinIf only we had power rings, like on that show that I can't remember the name of, they could harness their rings with the power to recycle… or clean power, or something. Anyways, it was awesome. [turns to Gwen] You're not listening to me, are you?
Nobody's ever listening to you.
DGDiamondhead/Gwen
Well, that sort of stretches the definition of "okay." We're trapped in your alien forms.
Let me try something. [turns the Ultimatrix's dial and changes Gwen and Kevin back into their human forms]
Good job. Now don't hit the Ultimatrix again, okay?
Kevin Levin
[as the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest shows a hologram of Earth and the red dot represents Ben's location] The locator in his Ultimatrix says he's still on Earth.
If you say so. All I know is that I'm in a Techadon factory.
I know where he is. It's the same Techadon factory Vulkanus used to attack Ben.
Why would they leave that thing in the middle of downtown, anyway?
Ultimatrix, user access. Voice recognition mode.
User Ben Tennyson recognized. Voice command mode activated.
Hard reset in progress. [beeping; showing Rath's hologram] Ultimatrix reset.
[slamming down] Here we go...!
[As Rath jumps up and down on a Techadon, she transforms mid-air and lands back as Gwen. Kevin drops out of the sky, landing on his face.]
Kevin Levin
Can't fly anymore... We're back.
[charging her fists with manna] Powers and everything!
Kevin Levin
[coating himself in Techadon metal] Excellent.
I1Inspector #13
Deploy Meta Shackles.
[Inspector #13 summons two sets of metal shackles that fly toward the two and instantly bond to their arms and legs. Kevin tries and fails to pull them apart.]
Kevin Levin
[strains; to Gwen] What are you waiting for? Bust us out!
Can't! I told you, they adapted to me!
[Inspector #13 approaches them, smoke and electricity spewing around them.]
I1Inspector #13
You have damaged my vessel. You have damaged this factory. You have delayed acquisition of Galvan technology!
[Inspector #13 grabs each of them by the chin, evaluating them.]
I1Inspector #13
You, hybrid Anodite, will be studied to enhance our defense systems. You, hybrid Osmosian, will be repurposed to generate raw materials for Techadon forges. [raising his arms] Deploy--
[Four Arms rises up from behind and sucker-punches him across the factory. He hits the wall and a Techadon head falls on his unconscious body.]
FCFactory Computer
Alert! Alert! Tetramand present in factory.
[sarcastic] Oh! Who told you?! [smiles]
[Now nightime, the trio and Julie watch from outside as both the ship and factory start to lift up out of the crater downtown.]
Think they'll send anybody else after the Ultimatrix?
Kevin purged Inspector 13's computer.
Kevin Levin
There's no way he'd embarrass himself by admitting he got spanked by a bunch of teenagers.
[The ship and factory take off, zooming through the clouds until they can't be seen.]
I was just thinking... The Ultimatrix gave us your powers, right? Did you even check to see if you got ours?
[smacking forehead and facepalms in frustration] Oh, man!
[Ben fights with Albedo in Mr. Smoothy]
Cheap shot. And it didn't even hurt.
[Albedo changes into Big Chill]
NBNegative Big Chill
My mistake. I'll do better this time. [freezes Ben, but he then breaks himself out] You should be frozen!
[Albedo then changes into NRG and fires a beam at Ben, but he is resisting]
NNNegative NRG
No, no, no, no! [Ben punches him away and uses his strength to pull his grill plates apart and take him out of the suit] Let me go!
[Albedo changes into Brainstorm]
Change into whatever you want. I'll just keep beating you. Forever and ever!
[reverting back] I understand now. Somehow, you've broken free from the dream eater. Easy enough to fix. [The dream eater appears in his hands]
Keep that thing away from me!
[walks towards Ben, but ends up slipping on the same smoothie Ben accidentally knocked over in the real world, falls onto the floor, and the dream eater attaches itself to his face] Get it off me! GET IT OFF ME! [In the real world… Ben, Gwen and Kevin surround him in Ben's room with the dream eater still attached to him; writhing] Get it off me. Get it off me.
I heard a loud noise, and when I woke up, I found him just like this. What is that thing?
Kevin Levin
A Cassiopeian Dream Eater. Nasty.
Found it on the Extranet. They attach to a host and make them have terrible nightmares. They eat the chemicals your brain produces under stress.
Kevin Levin
Obviously, he intended that for you.
But he wasn't prepared for how messy your room is.
Kevin Levin
[chuckles] Tripped on your smoothie and dropped the bug on his own face.
Can't we pull it off of him?
Kevin Levin
Not without taking his face along with it. Maybe a Galvin doctor?
I already called. A plumber transport is on the way.
[Albedo starts groaning and squirming as he's in the middle of a bad dream]
I wonder what he's dreaming.
No. Stay back. Please. [In his nightmare… he's sitting in the corner of Mr. Smoothy as all of Ben's aliens advance towards him; cowering fearfully] Please, don't hurt me! STAY BACK!
[After battling the Esoterica, Gwen captures one of them with her manna powers]
Just like I thought. He can't teleport through manna.
Kevin Levin
[holding the Esoterica down] Thanks, Gwen. I got it from here.
Kevin Levin
Start talking.
EEsoterica
[defensively] You don't scare me. I've got nothing to say.
Kevin Levin
I believe you. Too bad.
Dagon's troops are long gone.
Kevin Levin
Wouldn't hurt to see where they went.
CEConduit Edwards
We must prepare the way. He's coming. We must destroy the seal.
The seal's that big stone disk, right?
It's the only thing keeping Dagon from moving from his dimension into ours.
GSir George
Forever Knights. Our time has come. This is why we exist. All the other false purposes of the Forever Knights, gathering technology, fighting dragons, nonsense and corruption of our one true mission. As we did upon our founding, so shall we do again. Together we shall slay the Dagon and save the very Earth. This, I swear!
Here's the plan -- we get in there, I turn into something or other, we defeat the Esoterica before they can free Dagon. We're in, we're out.
Kevin Levin
I like it. It's simple.
Simple to the point of not actually being a plan.
I like to let the details work themselves out.
Look, there's a line. I'm not sure where it is exactly, but I'm sure this is way on the wrong side of it.
VVilgax
Power is meaningless if it isn't used. Do it.
Be quiet! [to Ben] Don't you see, Ben? It's the power. You're tempted, like I was tempted to go full Anodite.
Kevin Levin
And like when I lost control of my powers.
You can't force your answers on everybody. After everything we've been through, is this the way you want it all to end?
[overwhelmed] Everybody, stop talking! Let me think! [steps aside from the group and closes his eyes to make his choice; A montage shows him from his previous adventures; raises the Ascalon sword, sending beams of light all over Earth, turning every Esoterica back into human]
Kevin Levin
What did you do?
What I "said" I was going to do. Turn every Esoterica on Earth back to human. With all the free will that goes along with that. [the armor magically retracts off him]
Oh, Ben. [runs up to him and kisses him on the lips]
That was totally worth giving up all that power.
Knew you'd do the right thing.
Kevin Levin
Way to go.
[looks at the Ascalon] Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with this.
[arriving] I suggest you return it to its creator.
Azmuth! [Azmuth sends the Ascalon into the stars] You were right. That's too much power for any… [sees Azmuth extending his hand] What?
The Ultimatrix. Give it to me.
[The Ultimatrix falls off Ben's wrist and disappears]
But, Azmuth, I thought I proved I was worthy.
As usual, you don't understand. You have proved your worth, but this inferior copy of my Omnitrix isn't worthy of you.
[frustrated] Oh, for the love of… Look at your wrist!
[looks at his wrist and got himself a new Omnitrix; amazed] An Omnitrix?!
THE Omnitrix. An improved version I've been working on ever since you were given the prototype six years ago.
I don't know how to thank you.
Keep doing the right thing.
I don't suppose you'd consider giving me the Master Control.
[smiles] Perhaps for your 18th birthday. [teleports away]
