[Opening lines]
[Distorted] The aliens are already among us. Strange creatures with unbelievable powers, aliens are real but that isn't the amazing part. This is. All of the creatures you've just seen are actually alter egos of one man. His name is Ben Tennyson.
[The news footages shows clips from Kevin's Big Score, Pier Preassure and Save The Last Dance]
[Smirking] You are so busted.
That's not my best angle.
Every channel, Ben, all weekend-- nothing but you wrecking things, and they know who you are.
Nobody cares if I'm a superhero!
Okay, maybe a few people care.
You should lie low for a while, maybe go to Julie's.
Good idea, but how do you get past them?
[Roars at the reporters to scare them away]
[After Humungousaur scares off the reporters]
[Continues roaring but starts coughing, timing him out and reverting him back into Ben.]
Hey, Gwen, you got a lozenge? Growling's rough on my throat.
[Gwen hands him a lozenge which soothes his throat.]
You should have used one of your new Ultimate transformations.
I wanted to scare them, not me.
[At Julie's house.]
Thanks for letting me hang out, Julie.
Julie
I had to tennis practice in an hour, but you can stay here until I get back.
[Julie presses the remote and puts on the news]
Julie
Extra credit for AP current events. Oh, this guy hates you.
Julie
It's too nice a day to sit inside watching TV. Why don't we go for a drive in your new car now camion? That always cheers you up.
I don't need cheering up. I'm not upset.
Julie
Why not? Everybody hates you.
Maybe I can do more good as a public superhero than I did in secret. Sure, most people think I'm a menace now.
Julie
Only 26% of adult viewers think you're a menace.
Julie
74% think you're a threat.
Well, my point is, once people get to know me, I can win them over.
Julie
That hasn't been my experience.
Julie Yamamoto
How would you know? (walks away)
It's what you did, Ben. You were late, and when you finally show up, you made a big entrance and completely blew her concentration.
I can't help if I'm famous, right? (waves to the crowd; Gwen glares at him) I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
It better not. The finals are in three hours. That should be enough time for you to figure out how to make this up to her.
(to Kevin) Any suggestions?
Yeah, there's a plan - ask me for girlfriend advice.
Go, Julie! WHOO HOO! Julie Yamamoto is number 1, baby! [Gwen pulls him down] What?
(Julie looks down)
My bad. (Gwen looks back at the match; gets up, yelling to Julie's tennis opponent) Hey, other girl! You're a terrible tennis player and my girlfriend's gonna kick your butt!
(silence, then the crowd starts yelling)
RReferee
What's happening up there!
Julie Yamamoto
Uh, that's my... boyfriend.
RReferee
(sarcastically) You must be very proud.
I'm glad you won your tournament, Julie.
Julie Yamamoto
[sarcastically with a trophy sitting next to her] Yeah, thanks.
You should have been there, and by that I mean you should have been there.
Julie Yamamoto
Ben, I know you were off fighting bad guys. I was upset. But, I guess that's a deal when you decide to date a superhero.
[trying to please and calm down Julie] Julie, I promise, I'll make it up to you. Whatever you want to do, I'm there, just name it.
Julie Yamamoto
[calmed and pleased, ready to give Ben another chance] Well, maybe we can go see Sumo Slammers: The Movie together.
Actually, I, uh... already saw it.
Julie Yamamoto
When...?
Uh...during your match...?
Julie Yamamoto
Well! That's just-- Oh! [furiously storms off]
[Scoffs] Nice. [storms off after Julie]
[disappointed] Man, you are so insensitive. [walks out too, leaving Ben alone in the stadium to repent on what he did]
Julie Yamamoto
And those pictures of the two of you in her hot tub?
That was fun. Great view. You know, if you squint just right, the Eiffel Tower kind of lines up with the Arc de Triomphe.
Julie Yamamoto
I don't want to hear any more of this.
I do. [Gwen annoyingly nudges him] Ow!
Remember the kidnappers? Their guns were manufactured by one of Captain Nenesis's companies.
Ah, he owns all kinds of stuff. Just a coincidence.
That doesn't explain why he's payin' for their lawyers.
Julie Yamamoto
[referring to a proposed competition] It's some kind of trap, Ben.
You guys don't have to come if you don't want to. No skin off... me.
[to Overlord] How could you do this?! You used to be a hero. I had your poster on my wall! Did your forget? This isn't about fame. It's about helping people!
Julie Yamamoto
You are talking about HIM, right?
Easy, Ben. It's all over.
I don't know to thank you, Kevin. You saved my life. Have you ever considered- [Gwen taps her shoulder]
[angrily] I will peel you like a grape.
You are really starting to bug me!
I'm sorry about that, but I can't let you hurt anyone else.
Ben, you promised we'd try it my way first.
Aaaah! I've had it with you, Tennyson! Always beating me when we were kids, everything always going your way. You didn't turn into a freak! You've become a world-famous superhero!
I don't even like being famous. Between you and me, I wish I had my secret identity back.
My heart bleeds for you. Now you just bleed!
Nice. But I've got all your powers. Sooner or later, you're gonna make a mistake, and that will be the last time.
I'll try to make this as quick and painless as I can. Sonic doom!
Ben, don't! He's our friend!
He was going to hurt you.
It's not Kevin. It's the power, it's not his fault!
Paradox said I was the one who will do what has to be done. I gotta!
Then do it. Protect the innocent! That's Kevin, too.
[changing back] You better be right.
That's it. We're ready to go.
Are you sure it will work?
Pretty sure. I mean...yes.
[Darkstar is revealed to have absorbed Kevin's excess power]
UMUltimate Michael Morningstar
[Laughs] You pathetic imbeciles! This was my plan from the beginning! The power is mine! Nothing can stop me now!
[Unimpressed] Like everybody didn't see that coming. [Presses a button, which drains Darkstars powers]
No! [falls to the ground and gets up] What...Happened?
All the power you stole, and all the power Kevin stole, it just went back to where it belongs.
And that's the least of your problems. [punches Michael in the face, giving him a black eye, knocking him out unconscious; then turns to Cooper, smiling] Nice work, kid.
[runs to hug Cooper] You saved his life! [She kisses Cooper on the cheek]
[blushing] Ben figured out Darkstar's plan and told me what to do.
Hey, since you're kissing people. [points at his face]
[Gwen runs to Kevin and they kiss each other]
Now that's what I call a happy ending.
You don't know the half of it. We expected Heatblast and the others to get their powers back...
Julie Yamamoto
But even the energy Aggregor stole went back to where it belongs.
And returned US from oblivion. Thank you, Ben Tennyson.
Wasn't me this time. It was all of us.
[Ben is doing his homework when he hears a doorbell ringing. He opens the door to see Julie standing at the doorway.]
Julie Yamamoto
I was just passing by, but if you're busy or something.
Doing homework if you can believe it. Come on in.
Julie Yamamoto
You look kind of upset.
It's this problem I'm working on.
Julie Yamamoto
Calculus?
I wish. Then I could just con you into doing it for me. It's like the answer's right in front of me, but I can't see it.
Julie Yamamoto
What is the problem exactly? A case?
Yeah. Microchips. I'll show you. [takes his jacket from the couch, but realizes that the Nanochip is gone]
Julie Yamamoto
What's the matter?
Kevin has it. [Ben runs out the door, but stops and turns to Julie] You know, it feels like I'm always running off somewhere doesn't it?
Julie Yamamoto
It's starting to.
Can we get together tomorrow night for sure?
Julie Yamamoto
[Smiles] I'd like that.
[Ben runs off, with Julie looking on]
Guess I got a little paranoid. For a minute there, I even throught Julie--
EVElena Validus
What about Julie?
Nothing. She must changed her mind about wanting to see me again, that's all.
[Julie muffling]
EVElena Validus
I'm so glad we're going to be together now.
EVElena Validus
It won't always be work.
EVElena Validus
Don't! We said don't!
EVElena Validus
Us, Ben. Us. Some of the chips hid in me so that the one inside my father could be sacrificed. We built the false queen to mislead you.
And I bought it. Elena, they've been controlling you. You've got to fight them.
EVElena Validus
They're not controlling me, they are me and I am them. They give me what I want. They fulfill my deepest desires, even the ones I don't know I have. We could fulfill your deepest desires, too. You like your car? Wouldn't you like a few more? Or something else? Anything else? We can give it to you, Ben. Don't!
EVElena Validus
I can't. The chips want what I want and I can't stop wanting.
What did I tell you? From now on, you can call me Sherlock Levin.
EVElena Validus
We can't.
Then I'll have to stop you!
EVElena Validus
You know we like you, Ben... But not that much.
Julie Yamamoto
[as Ben is being attacked by the nanites] Is this what you want?!
EVElena Validus
It… must be.
Julie Yamamoto
No! Whatever's left of Elena couldn't want this!
EVElena Validus
Julie… we can't stop.
Julie Yamamoto
Then you never really cared about Ben!
EVElena Validus
We did. I did!
Julie Yamamoto
Isn't there some part of you left, the real you, that cares enough to stop this? Elena, don't.
[runs to the force field entrance; devastated] Oh, no.
Julie Yamamoto
That wasn't Elena. The nanites got her a long time ago.
You're wrong. There was enough of my friend left to save my life. Goodbye Elena.
[As they all leave the lab, on the floor, the Nanochips somehow spring to life]
[Ben, Kevin and Julie leave the building after Ben accidentally laughed inappropriately at Conduit Edwards, angering Julie]
Julie Yamamoto
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.
Julie Yamamoto
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]
In Ben's defense, you're way too smart to be buying into this junk.
Julie Yamamoto
[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?
Julie Yamamoto
Oh, right… because we've never seen aliens before. [to Ben] How many different aliens can you turn into now? 50?
Julie Yamamoto
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.
Ben's right. They got rules for that stuff.
