Prologue
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| We open in a Mr. Smoothy parking lot, where 11-year-old XLR8 is fighting a man dressed in purple for the first time. He runs around, dodging the man firing purple time beams at him. | |
| XLR8 | (stopping) Seriously? Your name is Eon? Like, E-yaaawn?! |
| XLR8 continues running circles around Eon, blowing his cape in his face. | |
| Eon | Your juvenile taunts won't save you, Ben Tennyson. |
| XLR8 nips him in the behind as he runs past. | |
| Eon | WOA-! |
| XLR8 | Save me from what? You can't even lay a finger on me! |
| Eon | I don't have to. Time is on my side. |
| Eon fires a time ray at XLR8, who dodges it and runs toward him. Eon lifts his cape in order to blind- | |
| -16-year-old Diamondhead as he runs into a parked tow truck. | |
| Diamondhead | Unh! |
| He steadies himself and turns around to Eon, in the lot of the remodeled Mr. Smoothy. | |
| Diamondhead | What? No weird time beams or whatever? Not your usual style, Eon. |
| Eon | The only thing ever predictable about me - is that I'm unpredictable! |
| Eon reveals and activates an energy sword, then swings it down on Diamondhead, who blocks it with his arm. | |
| Diamondhead | Unpredictable - but lame. (turning his arm into a blade) Now THIS is a sword! |
| Diamondhead swipes at Eon, hitting his energy shields and parries from his blade. As they fence back and forth- | |
| -both 16-year-old Diamondhead and 11-year-old XLR8 time out and revert back to Ben. | |
| Eon | Aha! Just what I was waiting for! |
| Eon in both time periods grabs their Omnitrices and overloads them with energy. The resulting blast of light knocks both Bens backward. | |
| 11-year-old Ben groans and stands up, holding his head; he starts speaking with the mind and voice of 16-year-old Ben. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | I don't know what that was all about, but now it's my turn! |
| Theme Plays | |
Act 1
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| As Ben raises his hand to slam down on the Omnitrix, he notices it in its original appearance. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | What is it with you, "new Omnitrix"? First, you won't transform me into the aliens I ask for, now you're transforming yourself to look all retro? (priming it) Dude, you better still work... |
| Ben slams down on it, turning into Ditto. | |
| Ditto | Ditto? Wow! I haven't used Ditto since...forever! (jumping) Woo! |
| Ditto splits into eleven and falls on Eon; his clones all dogpile him. | |
| Dittos | (punching; to each other) No!/Hey, what?!/No, that's my leg!/That's my leg./No!/Hey, hey! |
| With a strange noise, Eon somehow disappears in the dogpile. The Dittos all get up to find the ground in front of them empty. | |
| Ditto #1 | Where'd he go? |
| Ditto #2 | I don't suppose we pummelled him into oblivion? |
| Ditto #3 | Ah, whatever, man. At least we got rid of him. (raising his hand) Score one for the little guys...! |
| Dittos | (clapping; celebrating) Yeah!/Alright!/Woahoho!/Yeah! Woohoohoo!/Talk to me, baby! I'm alive, yeah baby!/Woo, alright! |
| Gwen | Ben! |
| Grandpa Max and an 11-year-old Gwen run over to the Dittos. | |
| Ditto #1 | Gwen? |
| Ditto #2 | Why are you- |
| Ditto #3 | -A LITTLE KID?! |
| Gwen is confused. Ben detransforms and sees his body. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | AAH! Why am I a little kid?! |
| Gwen | What's with your voice? You sound even weirder than usual. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | This isn't me! I mean - it is me, but it's me a long time ago. I'm a teenager now! |
| Max | Easy, Ben. You must have taken a clonk to the noggin. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | It was Eon! |
| Max | ...You mean Eon clonked you on the noggin? |
| Teen-Minded Ben | No! He sent me back in time somehow. Or - sent my brain, anyway. |
| Gwen | (chuckles) Your brain's definitely gone somewhere. |
| Max | Ben might be right, Gwen. You said it yourself, he doesn't sound like our Ben. |
| Gwen | Then where is our Ben? |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Wherever he is, poor little me must be totally freaking out... |
| In the present, Ben stares for a moment in disbelief, then smiles and speaks in a younger voice. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | AWESOME! |
| Max and Rook run over to Ben admiring his new body. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | Grandpa, check it out! I'm a teenager! |
| Rook | Ben? What is wrong with your voice? |
| Young-Minded Ben | Who are you? How do you know my name...? |
| Max | Easy, Ben. You must have taken a clonk to the noggin. |
| Eon | Interesting... |
| A beam of purple light suddenly appears, and Eon arrives through it. | |
| Eon | A full temporal consciousness inversion. Not the effect I was going for, but it should still have the desired result. |
| Young-Minded Ben | You're still here? (raising his hand) I'll fix tha- Huh? New Omnitrix...! S-WEET! |
| Ben excitedly cycles through his "new" catalogue. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | Are all these aliens really mine?! Best day EVEEER! |
| Eon | Where - is - PARADOX?! |
| Young-Minded Ben | "Para"- who? |
| Eon | Ughhh... The time-travelling busybody who shows up whenever you make a mess of the timestream. |
| Young-Minded Ben | Never heard of him, dude. |
| Eon | (sighs) Of course not. (smiles) You haven't met Paradox yet. He'll go to the other one! |
| Eon teleports away. | |
| Back in the past, Gwen and Max interrogate Ben outside the Mr. Smoothy. | |
| Gwen | So, if you're really from the future...what's it like? What am I like? |
| Teen-Minded Ben | You...are actually pretty cool. I miss you a lot... |
| Gwen | Miss me? (gasps) Am I dead?! I'm dead, aren't I?! |
| Teen-Minded Ben | No, no! You just went to college! Early, in fact. You're doing great. |
| Gwen | (chuckles; amazed) I go to college early...! |
| Max | No more spoilers, Ben. Time travel is tricky business. The less we know about the future, the better. |
| Paradox | Ah, wise words indeed. |
| Professor Paradox approaches them, wearing a very ornate coat and sporting a cane and mechanical prosthetic right arm. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Professor Paradox?! ...What's with the steampunk makeover? |
| Paradox | Well, let's just say I've been forced to take a more active role in temporal affairs of late. It's become open warfare on the spacetime continuum, I'm afraid. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | A 'Time War'? ...Is it bad that I think that sounds awesome?! |
| Max | Uhm, Ben. You want to introduce us to your friend here? |
| Paradox | Oh, my apologies, I can see I have you at a disadvantage! Or I will have had you at a disadvantage - (frowning) time travel makes verb tenses so confusing... I am Professor Paradox, for ironic reasons we needn't go into. Ben, a word. |
| Paradox kneels as he and Ben speak in private. | |
| Paradox | I'm not sure how much time we have, so listen carefully. Eon wants nothing less than absolute power over everything. All timelines; all alternate realities; everything. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | But...you know how to stop him? |
| Paradox | Yes (Ben smiles.) and no. (Ben frowns.) I've managed to trap Eon here in this timeline only. He can travel to the past or the future freely, but is powerless to access any alternate realities. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | That's - good? |
| Paradox | Yes. But the key to his escaping this timeline is my Chrononavigator, and he'll stop at nothing to get it. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | "Chrono"- what with the who now? |
| Paradox | My pocketwatch, of course. Think of it as a GPS for the Multiverse. I've taken great pains to camouflage it for safekeeping. You must keep the Chrononavigator out of Eon's hands at all costs. Do you understand-? |
| Eon suddenly teleports in. | |
| Eon | The Chrononavigator. Give it to me, timewalker! |
| Paradox | You know very well that is never going to happen! |
| Eon | Then I'll just have to take it from you... |
| Eon activates his energy sword. Paradox raises his cane and the two clash, swiping and punching at each other. The Omnitrix recharges, and Ben readies it. | |
| Paradox | No Ben! This is not your fight! |
| As Paradox shouts to Ben, Eon gains the upper hand and wrestles him to the ground. With his cane out of reach, Paradox raises his prosthetic hand in defense, and Eon slices it clean off. | |
| Paradox | Do what you will, Eon. You will never get your hands on the device you seek! |
| Eon | Time will tell. |
| Eon starts teleporting away, enveloping both himself and Paradox in purple beam of light. | |
| Paradox | DON'T WORRY, BEN! I'M SURE YOU HAVE THE IMPORTANT MATTERS WELL IN HAND? |
| The two fade away before Ben can reach them, leaving only Paradox's ticking mechanical arm on the floor. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Well in hand... |
| Meanwhile, in the present, Ben sits in a chair inside Plumber Headquarters, where Blukic and Driba examine him. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | This place is SO COOL! (touching a device next to him) What does this thing do? |
| Blukic | Uh, I wouldn't touch that... |
| A warning sound blares for a second. Ben starts reaching for another device. | |
| Driba | Or that! |
| Ben points to an arm-like device directly above him. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | How 'bout this one? |
| Blukic & Driba | Definitely not that! |
| Rook | Please, Ben! If you would just sit still, so we can figure out what is wrong with you! |
| Young-Minded Ben | There's nothing wrong with me! I'm AWESOME! |
| Max | (entering the room) There's obviously something wrong with him. He's not himself, he's... Where is he? |
| Rook, Blukic, and Driba are shocked to find the seat they surround empty. | |
| Rook | Aw, not again. |
| Plumber HQ Computer | Core jettison in 10...9...8...7... |
| Max | BEEEEEN?! |
| Max finds Ben in the main control room, nervously looking at a control panel. | |
| Plumber HQ Computer | 6...5...4...3- |
| Max presses a button, shutting down the sequence. He stares at Ben, who looks away. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | So, uh...got any games on this thing? |
| Max | (to Rook) I'm gonna need you to look after Ben until we figure out what to do. |
| Rook | My apologies, Magister Tennyson. I have barely learned to deal with teenage Ben. Is there anyone else who has experience in dealing with this version? |
| Gwen | I do. |
| Gwen stands in the doorway. | |
Act 2
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Gwen | ...So, mentally, he's eleven? |
| Young-Minded Ben | Gwen? Is that really you? (circling her) You look...like you're still a dweeb! |
| Gwen | And you're still a doo-! (pausing) Easy, Gwen...don't let him get to you. You're above this childish stuff now. |
| Young-Minded Ben | (singsong) Naaa-na-na-naaa-na! (He makes rabbit ears behind her.) |
| Rook | I still do not understand why you are here, Gwen. |
| Gwen | Five years ago, Ben told me to come and find him at this exact date and time. I-I almost didn't do it, but he seemed so serious. (Ben holds his mouth open behind her.) It wasn't like him at all. Well, not like eleven-year old him. |
| As Ben makes another gesture, he knocks over a coffee cup. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | It wasn't me! - No, really, THAT wasn't me, Gwen. I don't know what you're talking about. |
| Max | You don't suppose his sixteen-year-old mind got sent back into his eleven-year-old body? Some kind of...cross-time brain swap? |
| Gwen | But, wouldn't we remember that? I mean, I-I remembered him asking me to find him. |
| Max | (sighing) I don't know... This time travel stuff always gives me a headache. |
| Rook | (to Gwen) Do you recall anything else? |
| Gwen | Only that I'm supposed to take him to Mr. Smoothy's. |
| Young-Minded Ben | Mr. Smoothy's?! Gross! (Ben falls over.) |
| Meanwhile, a broken, crumbling Mr. Smoothy mascot sits on the ground. It lies in a place at the end of time, where the sky is red with floating black dots, and the cityscape rests in chunks on broken, floating islands. On one of these islands, Eon interrogates Paradox, keeping him suspended with energy in an arch-shaped machine. | |
| Eon | You are a timid fool, Paradox. Just because you never took full advantage of the Chrononavigator's power, doesn't mean I shouldn't. |
| Paradox | Yes, but in anyone else's hands but mine, it could cause irreparable damage to the timestream. Or destroy all of time and causality itself! I-In any event, I-I couldn't possibly give you the Chrononavigator even if I wished to do so. Hmph! Because I don't have it. |
| Eon stares intensely at Paradox's grinning face. | |
| Eon | Hmm... No, you don't, do you? You are many things, Paradox, but a liar, you are not. |
| Paradox | Precisely. Now, if you'd be so kind as to loosen these shackles, I shall be on my way. |
| Eon | What's the rush? We have aaall the tiiime in the wooorld... |
| Back in the past, Ben and Gwen sit in the Rustbucket II, parked just outside the Mr. Smoothy. Gwen types away at her laptop, while Ben examines Paradox's arm. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | "Well in hand"... This thing must be important to finding the Chrono-wachamacallit. Man, doesn't Paradox ever get tired of being cryptic? |
| Gwen | Are you ever gonna tell me what YOU're being cryptic about, doofus? Or are you just gonna keep muttering to yourself? |
| Teen-Minded Ben | I wish I could, Gwen. I could really use your help right now. You're always good at figuring out stuff like this. |
| Gwen | And stop doing that. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Stop doing what? |
| Gwen | Being so...nice - it's creeping me out! |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Sorry. |
| Gwen | You're still doing it! |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Sorry! |
| Gwen | You're doing it again! |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Gah-! Gwen, I need a favor! Maybe the most important thing I'll ever ask you to do. Five years from today, you have to find me, no matter where I am. Even if I'm on...another planet or something. |
| Gwen stops typing. | |
| Gwen | Five years...? |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Exactly five years. To the day and time. Come find me, and take me to, um... (spotting Mr. Smoothy just outside) Mr. Smoothy's! |
| Gwen | You hate Mr. Smoothy's. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | That's why it's perfect! Make me go with you. I'll explain everything to you then! I hope. Can you do that? Promise me. Please! |
| Gwen | WOW, politeness overload. (She closes her laptop and sighs.) Okay. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Thanks - dweeb! Now stay here. |
| Ben gets up and walks away with Paradox's arm in hand. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | I need to take care of something. |
| Back in the present, Rook drives Ben and Gwen through the city in the Proto-TRUK. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | "Mr. Smoothy's"? Bleh! |
| Rook | Believe it or not, you love this place. |
| Gwen | It's true. We used to hang out here all the time. You, me, and Kevin. |
| Young-Minded Ben | Kevin who? |
| Gwen | Kevin...Levin? |
| Young-Minded Ben | No - way. Now I KNOW this is some freaky alternate messed-up universe! |
| Gwen | Kevin changed! He's a good guy now! A - really good guy! |
| Young-Minded Ben | Wait...you're not... (disgusted) You and Kevin 11...?! AAH! (falling down in his seat) That's even MORE gross than Mr. Smoothy's! |
| They get out, having now arrived. | |
| Rook | (to Gwen) Well, you have brought him here. Now what is supposed to happen? |
| Gwen | I don't know. Ben didn't tell me. |
| Young-Minded Ben | (provocative) Maybe you should ask Kevin 11! |
| Gwen | (imitating him) Well maybe you should stop being such a doofus! |
| Young-Minded Ben | Dweeb! |
| The cousins literally butt heads. | |
| Rook | (glumly) Maybe I will scan the area. |
| Though before Rook can activate his Proto-Tool, Ben notices something on the bottom of a street lamp. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | Hey! A Sumo Slammer sticker! That's my favorite one! |
| Rook | Etched right into the metal... What could do that? |
| Gwen | Ben? |
| Young-Minded Ben | Don't look at me. I didn't put it there. |
| Gwen | I think you did. Or you're going to have done... (grumbles) Paradox is right, time travel makes verb tenses so confusing! |
| Young-Minded Ben | "Paradox"... You mean the guy that Eon-dude was lookin' for? |
| Gwen | You saw Eon?! |
| Eon continues to interrogate Paradox. | |
| Eon | You had to have used the Chrononavigator to get to young Tennyson. So what did you have then, that you don't have now...? |
| It only takes him a second to notice Paradox's lack of an arm. | |
| Eon | Clever. Very clever. |
| Paradox | Nothing gets by you, does it? |
| Eon | Now that I know the answer, I'll simply return to the moment I severed your hand, and retrieve it! |
| Paradox | With two time travellers already there? Plus Ben's condition...? You are well aware that the fabric of spacetime is already stretched dangerously thin at that particular moment... If you go back there now, you could cause a rupture, and be lost outside of time altogether! |
| Eon | (Eon grunts in frustration, then smiles.) That is true. But there is another way...! |
| Surprising Paradox, Eon teleports away. | |
| Gwen and Ben observe the street lamp as Rook scans it with his tool. | |
| Rook | There appears to be something else on this vertical structure. |
| Ben & Gwen | Where? |
| Rook motions to the very top. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | (smiling) I got this! |
| Ben activates the Omnitrix, turning into Diamondhead. He forms a crystal platform in the ground beneath him and uses it to raise himself. | |
| Gwen | Anything? |
| Diamondhead | There's some numbers up here! (reading) "35.35-118.96" - and some crazy, made-up word! "Armo-drillo"...? |
| Rook | "35 point"... (checking his scanner) They are map coordinates! Of the old, abandoned sewer system under Bellwood! |
| Gwen | Let me guess...abandoned five years ago. |
| Rook | (nods) Now it is right in the middle of Undertown. |
| Diamondhead descends back to the ground. | |
| Diamondhead | What's Undertown? |
| Rook takes Ben to a pop-up shop in Undertown with the sign "Pakmar's Fine Teas". As Ben, Rook, and Gwen walk in, Pakmar immediately spots Ben and knocks over some things trying to get to the front to block his way. | |
| Pakmar | Oh no. No-no-no-no-no, no you don't! There will be no destroying of Pakmar's place of business today! Ben Tennyson is NOT WELCOME HERE! |
| Young-Minded Ben | Woah! Chill out, little guy. |
| Rook | Mr. Pakmar, sir, we just need access to the basement. Plumber business. I assure you no harm will come to your establishment. |
| Pakmar | (sighs) Pakmar has heard that one before. |
| Down in the basement of the shop, Rook's Proto-Tool scans a spot on the floor. | |
| Rook | This is the place. |
| Young-Minded Ben | So that "Armodrillo" thing's here somewhere. |
| Rook | Armodrillo is one of your aliens. |
| Excited, Ben slams down and turns into Armodrillo. He starts up his jackhammer arms and burrows down in the floor, creating a massive hole and causing delicate objects to fall and break. He eventually stops and detransforms. | |
| Gwen | (to Rook) You haaad to tell him. |
| Young-Minded Ben | Hey, check it out! There's more numbers down here on this pipe I just hit! (reading) One-! |
| DING | |
| Young-Minded Ben | Oh... Uh oh... |
| The pipe begins to hiss. Rook and Gwen's eyes widen. | |
| Rook, Gwen, and Ben all run out of the shop and make a beeline to get inside the Proto-TRUK. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | AAAAAAAH! |
| Just in time, as a giant wave of water flows out the store, pushing a dejected Pakmar against the truck's windshield. As the water lowers, Pakmar slowly slips down it. | |
| Pakmar | Pakmar will send you the bill. Again... |
| The gang continue to follow a map on Gwen's laptop. | |
| Gwen | There are more coordinates, all right. Not far, either. |
| Rook | So you think our Ben left these clues for this Ben five years ago? Why would he do that? |
| Young-Minded Ben | Why not do it? It's like a treasure map or something! (chuckles) I'm a genius! But, what did I hide for me...? |
| Gwen | I guess we'll just have to keep following clues until we find out. |
| Rook and Gwen find themselves in a gas station bathroom. Goop comes flowing out a faucet, to Gwen's repulse. As he reassembles himself, an inscribed piece of the map floats inside his body: "51.514-0.139". | |
| Next, in a nuclear power plant, NRG comes out of a reactor door to meet the two, inscribed pipe in hand: "34.152-118.336". | |
| Next, Wildmutt sniffs around a parking lot. He eventually catches the scent of something and starts digging. He pops up with a piece in his mouth: "33.81-118.039". | |
| Gwen checks the final destination on her map, as they drive back through the city. | |
| Gwen | You're sure these are the right numbers? |
| Young-Minded Ben | Abso-tively, posi-lutely! |
| Rook | There must be a mistake. |
| The truck comes to a stop, yet again, in front of the Mr. Smoothy's. | |
| Rook | Why make us drive all over town - and Undertown - following clues, just to lead us back here? |
| Gwen | It's crazy! |
| Young-Minded Ben | It's - BRILLIANT! Nobody would ever think to look for something hidden at the start of a treasure map! |
| Gwen | (sighs; to Rook) Well, when you put it that way, it is kind of brilliant... |
| Ben excitedly runs around the building; Rook's scanner points to inside. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | This looks like a job for that "Drill-o-rama" guy again! |
| Ben slams on the Omnitrix, instead turning into Big Chill. He flies into the building, then exits while transforming back, accidentally startling customers who flee screaming. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | SORRY! Sorry to scare you! It's all good, people! Go back to your smoothies! Yucka... (to Gwen and Rook) I-I didn't see any more numbers in there, but look what I found inside the wall! |
| He shows them the Chrononavigator. He instantly starts playing with it and pointing it like a gun. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | Pew! Pew! Pew! |
| He then starts using it as a backscratcher. | |
| Rook | So, what is it? |
| A purple portal suddenly appears behind Ben and Eon's hand snatches it out of his unfocused grip. Eon steps forward. | |
| Eon | Merely the key to dominion over all space and time! And thanks to you, it is now mine! (laughing) |
Act 3
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Eon steps out of the portal and holds up the Chrononavigator. It glows with blue light and crackles with electricity. | |
| Eon | It's amazing! Every timeline, every alternate reality...I can see them all, and they're all mine! |
| Young-Minded Ben | Eon! I am so gonna clean your clock! (He transforms into Arctiguana.) |
| Arctiguana | Arctiguana? Cooool. Literally. |
| Arctiguana fires a freezing breath at Eon that encases him in ice, but Eon easily breaks free and calls upon the power of the Chrononavigator. It booms like thunder, its electricity summoning four portals from which Eon's minions arrive, energy swords at the ready. Gwen and Rook shoot respective manna discs and Proto-Tool shots at them, but they dodge them all while sprinting towards the heroes. | |
| Gwen | Ben?! |
| Arctiguana | No worries, Gwen. I finally got an alien I know how to use! |
| Arctiguana leaps in the air and uses his freeze breath to create an icy ramp in midair, slide on it, and encase the minions in ice before touching the ground. | |
| Arctiguana | Done - and done! |
| Eon | Oh, but there's more where that came from...! |
| Eon uses the hand again to summon three more minions to deal with Rook. Rook kicks and punches through them, nearly getting hit by their sword swings, and kicks one minion into an incoming group of three. One of the three is still on their feet, but Gwen uses her manna to slam them to the ground. As Arctiguana freezes the pile of knocked-out minions, Gwen notices something... | |
| Gwen | The holes in time! They're not closing! |
| The purple portals start flying towards Eon, violently spinning around him. As this happens, Arctiguana notices an enormous rift starts opening above their heads. It shows him 11-year-old Ben and Gwen. | |
| Arctiguana | Gwen? |
| Gwen | What? |
| Arctiguana | Not you. (pointing to the rift) Her! |
| Teen and young Gwen lock eyes. | |
| Young Gwen | (to Arctiguana) Ben? Is that you? (getting excited) And is that me?! |
| Paradox | Careful, children! |
| A second large rift showing Paradox still being restrained floats next to them. | |
| Paradox | Crossing over the time warps can have disatrous consequences! |
| The time portals around Eon have dispersed, and are now flying about. | |
| Eon | WHAT IS THIS, TIME WALKER?! YOU TRICKED ME! |
| Paradox's rift floats around him. | |
| Paradox | On the contrary, I WARNED you! Stop this now, or all of existence will be destroooyed! |
| Eon | NOOOO! If I cannot RULE the cosmos, then I will be the one to DESTROY IT! AAAH! |
| Eon uses the hand to summon more lightning, causing massive gusts of wind to fly around in every timeline. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | (to Arctiguana) The hand! Where is it?! |
| Arctiguana | Well, duh. The evil bad guy has it! |
| Ben transforms into Wildvine. | |
| Wildvine | Well, "duh". Then Wildvine's gonna take it back! |
| Wildvine plunges his legs in the ground, causing tendrils to sprout from there and extend towards Eon in the present. However, they start dissolving once they reach the rift. Eon shoots beams at Wildvine. | |
| Arctiguana | Hey! Leave him - me - alone! |
| Arctiguana freezes Eon's left side. | |
| Gwen | Rook, you take care of any stragglers. I'll take - me, and try to free Paradox. |
| Young Gwen | (nervous) Me? But...I can't! |
| Gwen | Yes, you can. It's an energy-siphon counterspell: "Combibo potentia". But we both have to do it at the same time. |
| Young Gwen | (gulps) Okay. If you - I - say so! |
| The two Gwens face Paradox's rift and start amassing manna in their hands. | |
| Both Gwens | (casting) Combibo potentia! |
| They generate intertwining beams of manna that hit Paradox's rift and break the machine holding him. | |
| Young Gwen | We did it! I mean, I did it. I mean... |
| Gwen | Same thing. |
| Meanwhile, Eon's body is stuck halfway between the past and present, with Wildvine's vines and Arctiguana's ice creeping up his arms on either side. | |
| Eon | (yelling) |
| Eon erupts with a wave of force that breaks him free and knocks both aliens back. | |
| Arctiguana | Uhn! |
| Wildvine | Ow... (He detransforms.) |
| Teen-Minded Ben | Professor Paradox? We're open to suggestions here...! |
| Paradox | You must anchor Eon to your respective time zones! I would suggest Clockwork! |
| Teen-Minded Ben | I don't have Clockwork! |
| Paradox | (groans) Well, if activated at the same moment, your two Omnitrixes might synchronize! |
| Arctiguana detransforms as well. | |
| Young-Minded Ben | "Might"? Some professor you are! |
| Paradox | Well, it's better than "won't"! |
| The two Bens turn on their Omnitrices. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | One...! |
| Young-Minded Ben Ben | Two...! |
| Both | Three! |
| The two Bens slam down, turning into a 16 and 11-year-old Clockwork. They fire a green beam from their chest at the half of Eon in their timeline. Eon's eyes and mouth start glowing green, as they overload him with their time rays. | |
| Eon | (screaming) |
| With a grand flash of light, Eon disappears, Paradox's hand falls to the ground, and the two Clockworks detransform. | |
| Teen-Minded Ben | It worked! Wait...no! I'm still in the wrong me! |
| Paradox leaves his rift and lands in the past timeline to collect his hand and reattach it to his arm. | |
| Paradox | Without Eon to anchor them, all the separate eras of time are progressively snapping back into place! |
| Young-Minded Ben | -Which means in a few seconds, none of this will have happened and we won't remember a thing. |
| Paradox | Hehe, you really are getting quite good at this, young master Tennyson. Pity you'll have to start over. |
| Teen-Minded Ben | (to Young-Minded Ben) Good seeing you - me - again. |
| Young-Minded Ben | Yeah. Me too... |
| A moment of silence passes, and normal, 16-year-old Ben finds himself standing alone in front of Mr. Smoothy, holding two smoothies. He calmly walks towards the approaching Proto-TRUK. As Rook parks it and steps out, Ben hands him a smoothie with a weird smile on his face. | |
| Ben | Is it just me, or does this day seem to be draggin' on and on? |
| Rook | I almost wished some universal-threatening calamity would occur, to alleviate this boredom. |
| Ben | Yeah, well, something's bound to happen sooner or later. It always does! Just, give it some time. |
| Before Ben can take a sip, a giant green time portal opens behind him, and out steps an impressive-looking adult version of Ben. | |
| Ben 10,000 | Ben, where's Paradox? The Chronosapiens have gone rogue, and Maltruant's temporal beasts are on a cross-dimensional rampage! This Time War - is getting out of hand. |
| Ben | "Time War"? (throwing his hands up) Awesome! |
