Prologue
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Gwen is in beach clothing and is waiting for Ben and Kevin. | |
| Gwen | (bangs on the garage door) Hurry up! We're losing our light. |
| Ben | (exits garage) We're not losing the light, it's 8:00 in the morning, beach is open all day. |
| Gwen | You’re right... Get a move on, Kevin! |
| Kevin is ready with his car. | |
| Kevin | Geez, I'm coming, I'm like 5 minutes late, what's the big deal? |
| Gwen | I'll tell you what the big deal is. I've been trying to go to the beach for a month, and every time we leave something happens: "Monster on the loose", "alien invasion". |
| Ben | Sometimes it rains. |
| Gwen | Well not this time, this time... |
| Two white-ice cream like aliens teleport in the scene. | |
| Gwen | (sighs) Just forget I even said anything. |
| Zaw-Veenull | Greetings, I am ambassador Zaw-Veenull from the planet Lewoda, we are seeking Ben Tennyson. |
| Ben | Present, what's up? |
| Zaw-Veenull | We hope you will undertake a delicate mission on our behalf. Only the legendary Ben Tennyson has the reputation and the skill to accomplish it. |
| Ben | (whispering to Gwen and Kevin) That because I saved the- |
| Gwen and Kevin | -whole entire universe. |
| Gwen | We know. |
| Zaw-Veenull | You must deliver this treasure so that peace may reign between the Lewodans and our foes, the Pantophage. |
| Kevin | Treasure, you say? |
| The Lewodan lady opens the box for them to find a baby Lewodan. | |
| Theme Plays. | |
Act 1
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Zaw-Veenull | Allow me to present, the Tiffin, our crowned prince, if you will. |
| Kevin | Cute, if you're into cotton swops. |
| Gwen | (to the Lewodan Lady) I'm sorry, I didn't get your name. |
| Lewodan lady | I am Cicely, she who bore him. |
| Kevin | So it's like a hostage exchange. |
| Zaw-Veenull | Hostage? Oh no, no, no, no, it is simply a show of trust, to demonstrate our sincere desire, for peace with the Pantophage. |
| There is electricity weaving through Ben's Omnitrix. | |
| Zaw-Veenull | Isn't that right, Cicely? |
| Cicely | Yes, of course, ambassador. |
| Zaw-Veenull | Is anything wrong, Ben Tennyson? |
| Ben | (covers the electricity) Wrong, me? No, I'm good. |
| Zaw-Veenull | Excellent. (gets out Golden cube) This Credit Cube, was for your expenses. |
| Kevin | Is that a gold cube? I've never seen one before, they don't have any spending limit! |
| Gwen | How are we supposed to get the Tiffin where he needs to go? |
| Zaw-Veenull | Well, of course we will supply you a ship. |
| A giant ship teleports in the scene. | |
| Gwen | We're supposed to fly in that thing? |
| Kevin | Absolutely, that's a Tachyon 930! Ugly on the outside, but all engine on the inside. (enters the Tachyon) Woo-hoo, road trip! |
| Ben | Don't worry, ambassador, we'll get the Tiffin to his destination, you have the word of Ben Tennyson! |
| Gwen | You're talking about yourself in the third person now? |
| Ben | Sure, after all, Ben Tennyson did save the whole- |
| Gwen | Y-know what, stop. |
| Ben and Gwen enter the ship, before entering, Ben puts a thumb up at Zaw-Veenull, the electricity on his Omnitrix comes back, covering it. | |
| The team fly through space in the Tachyon 930 ship. | |
| Prince of Lewoda | (squeals) |
| Gwen | (to Kevin) Something's not right. |
| Kevin | What do you mean? This ship's like straight off the showroom floor. |
| Gwen | I don't mean the ship, I just feel the ambassador hasn't told us the whole story. |
| Kevin | Of course not. Ambassadors lie; that's their job. |
| Gwen | And you aren't curious about what's really going on? |
| Kevin | Nope. |
| Gwen | And you think its right to use a baby to seal a peace treaty? |
| Kevin | So the prince grows up in castle number one or castle number two. What's the diff? |
| The electricity on Ben's Omnitrix comes back. | |
| Ben | (gets hit by an electric spark) Ow! |
| The Omnitrix automatically changes Ben into a new lifeform of a tiger-like species. | |
| Tiger-like Alien | Rath! |
| Rath uses his enhanced strength to angrily throw the seat. | |
| Gwen | Ben? Ben! |
| Rath blasts the Lewodan prince with a powerful roar, causing the prince to hide in fear. | |
| Kevin | Dude, you're messing up the- (jumps on Rath's back) |
| Rath | You wanna fight me, Kevin Levin? Let's go! (throws Kevin) |
| Gwen | Someone needs a timeout! |
| Gwen places a manna bubble on Rath's head. Rath tries to pull manna bubble off his head. | |
| Rath | Timeout?! It's time for you to learn that nobody can beat me at- Did I just use up all my air? (passes out) |
| Rath regains consciousness and wakes up. | |
| Gwen | Ben, can you understand me? |
| Rath | Course I can, Gwen Tennyson! You think I'm stupid?! |
| Kevin | Yeah, as thick as a brick. |
| Rath | You wanna fight? You wanna fight?! (yells at Kevin and finds himself tied up in Gwen's manna) |
| Gwen | Not helping, Kevin. Calm down, Ben! I need you to listen. You've become something called an Appoplexian. we looked it up in the 'ALDB'. |
| Rath | Huh? |
| Gwen | 'Alien Life-Form Database'. |
| Kevin | Appoplexians are powerful, argumentative, and extremely aggressive. They believe any problem can be solved by hitting it. |
| Rath | Not true! Sometimes you have to hit things a lot! |
| Kevin | It also says that they're not too bright. |
| Rath growls at Kevin. | |
| Kevin | Dude, did you just growl at me? |
| Gwen | Okay Ben, I'm going to let you go, but you have to stay calm. Control your anger. No stomping! (Releases Rath from the manna) |
| Kevin | Maybe you wanna reboot the Omnitrix and get back to normal? |
| Rath | Okay, but not 'cause you told me to. |
| Kevin | Nope, it was your idea. |
| Rath | Okay, here we go, changing back. (smacks the Omnitrix, but nothing happens) What? It's busted. (smacks the Omnitrix several times; starts pulling it) Come off me! |
| Gwen | Stop! Ben! |
| Rath pulls too hard that he twists and falls over. | |
| Rath | (sits up) Anybody hungry? |
| The team take a stop at a space station for a lunch break, where there are aliens. | |
| Gwen | (to Rath) Remember, we're on a schedule. |
| Rath | What for? |
| Gwen | To deliver the Tiffin - stop a war. |
| Rath | Whatever! Food robot... |
| Gwen | (sighs) Just get a snack so we can go. |
| The shot is showing Argit in the tavern, with a newspaper, having overheard the conversation. Argit goes up to Kevin. | |
| Argit | Go where? |
| Kevin | What do you know, Argit! (high fives him) |
| Argit | Kevin! Long time, no see, you look different, did you get a haircut? |
| Kevin | No. |
| Argit | Gwendolyn. |
| Gwen | Argit, (grabs the Tiffin's case) we were just leaving. |
| Argit | Hey, what's the big rush? |
| Kevin | We are on a mission to deliver a major cargo, "the Tiffin of Lewoda!" I can't cut you in on this one though, it's like for charity. |
| Argit | I understand, old buddy. Listen, they just called my order. I'll catch you later. |
| Gwen | Kevin! |
| Kevin | What? |
| Gwen | Why would you tell him about that? He's a con man who would sell his own mother for lunch money. |
| Kevin | I happen to know he got top dollar for his mom. |
| Argit | (contacting someone on his watch) Hey, it's Argit - Yeah, I know I owe ya. I know you've been looking for me, but I got a tip that'll make ya square again. |
| Gwen | (to Kevin) Not to mention that every time we run into him, we almost get killed! |
| Kevin | Are you saying you don't like my friends? |
| Gwen | No, I'm saying he's not your friend! |
| The Vreedle Brothers enter the tavern. | |
| Octagon | Okay, don't nobody here interested in staying alive, move! |
| The aliens squeal confusedly. | |
| Kevin | The Vreedles? |
| Octagon | Yup, I'm Octagon and this here's my brother Rhomboid. |
| Rhomboid | Sup, call me 'Boid. |
| Gwen | But, we saw you two go up in an explosion! |
| Octagon | Yeah, that sort of thing occurs on a fairly regular basis. We're what you might call clones. |
| Rhomboid | Mm-hmm, our folks used the home-kilt to make us. |
| Octagon | 'Boid. |
| Rhomboid | They bought a lot! |
| Octagon | 'Boid! |
| Rhomboid | It was on sale, what with it being past the best-if-used by date, spoiled I guess is what you'd call- |
| Octagon | And all that falls under the category of personal top business that we do not share with strangers, 'Boid. |
| Rhomboid | Oh, that's right. (chuckles) I forgot. |
| Octagon | Now hand over the Tiffin so's we can hold him for ransom. |
| Gwen | Not gonna happen! |
| Octagon | Then we got ourselves a little disagreement. |
Act 2
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Kevin | All things considered, I think we should give him the Tiffin. |
| Rath | Let me tell you something, Kevin Levin: nobody's giving nobody nothing! |
| Rhomboid | Is that an Appoplexian? |
| Octagon | Yep, and they're even stupider and meaner than we are. We're gonna need what you might call an 'edge'. Listen up, one thousand credits to anyone who joins up with us! |
| The aliens agree and unleash their guns and weapons. | |
| Rath | Now you're making it interesting! |
| Rath throws space robot at Rhomboid. Rath starts brawling with other aliens. One of the aliens mops the floor with Kevin. Then one of them starts doing a tug-of-war against Gwen with the case of the Prince of Lewoda, Gwen wins the tug of war by kicking. | |
| Gwen | Kevin! (throws the case to him) |
| Kevin has an alien on his shoulders trying to get the case from him and pounces him onto the table. | |
| Kevin | Hey! |
| The alien slides him to Argit, fir more aliens to come at him. | |
| Kevin | Gwen! (passes the case to her) |
| Gwen | It's okay, I've got- |
| Octagon unleashes his gun on Rath, with the latter oblivious on Octagon's attempting attack. | |
| Gwen | Ben! Behind you! |
| Octagon blasts Rath, leaving the latter intact, but his food destroyed. | |
| Rath | Let me tell you something, Octagon Vreedle: you've gone too far! A man's food is his castle! |
| Octagon | I believe what you've done there is mixing your what you might call 'metaphors'. |
| Rath pounces on Octagon and Knocks down Rhomboid before he can strike. Then grabs Octagon who tries to escape. | |
| Octagon | It's gonna hurt, I suspect. |
| Octagon and Rhomboid are thrown out of the tavern by Rath, into space. | |
| Rhomboid | Well that didn't work out so good. |
| The team go to the elevator to exit the Tavern. Rath wants to continue fighting but is held back by Kevin. | |
| Rath | Come on! I was just getting warmed up! |
| Argit falls unconscious. | |
| In the Tachyon 930. | |
| Rath | (opens the Prince's case) You're a lot of trouble, you know that. |
| Prince of Lewoda | (squeals) |
| Rath sniffs and eats a tick. | |
| Kevin | I'm almost starting to appreciate the old Ben. |
| Gwen | Kevin, this is serious. What if he's stuck like this forever? |
| Suddenly, the Tachyon has lasers fired at by another ship. | |
| Sangfroid | Greetings earthful. (pops up on the Tachyon's communication screen) This is Sangfroid. |
| Kevin | You're an Incursean! |
| Sangfroid | Yeah I am, now as you know, we Incurseans love war, can't get enough of that stuff, it's what we live for. |
| Gwen | Uh-huh. And your point is...? |
| Sangfroid | This peace mission you're on? We're against it. So prepare to be boarded, than killed. Nothing personal. |
| Rath | Let me tell you something, Incursean Commander Sangfroid: Rath has a better idea! I'm coming over! |
| Gwen | You’re gonna need a spacesuit. |
| Rath | Whatever. (exits the Tachyon offscreen) |
| In Sangfroid's ship, Sangfroid hears the sound of fighting - he approaches the door and sees several incapacitated Incurseans. Sangfroid steps back as Rath kicks open the door. | |
| Rath | Okay, Incursean Commander Sangfroid, I've beaten up everybody on the ship but you! We can fight, or you can go! |
| Sangfroid | (nervously) Fribbit. |
| Rath | I talked to them, they said we can go. |
| Prince of Lewoda | (squeals) |
| Rath | (to the Prince) Okay, don't get all emotional. |
| BANG! Outside of the ship, the Tachyon is getting fired at by lasers from Sangfroid's ship. | |
| Rath | Incursean Commander Sangfroid lied! |
| Kevin | Find a seat! I'm putting us in high gear! |
| Kevin boosts up the ship, so hard it knocks Rath and the Prince of Lewoda into the wall. | |
| Sangfroid | Engines full! |
| Sangfroid's ship boosts up, both ships are leading to a black hole. | |
| Kevin | A black hole, cool! |
| Gwen | No, not cool, very not cool, we'll get sucked in! |
| Kevin | No we won't, but they will. |
| Kevin boosts the Tachyon and turns around from the black hole. | |
| Sangfroid | I really hate that guy. |
| Sangfroid's ship gets sucked into the black hole. | |
| Rath is sleeping, but the Prince of Lewoda wiggles the tip of his head on his nose four times, the fourth time wakes him up angrily. | |
| Rath | What is your problem?! (the Prince of Lewoda squeaks at him) Uhh, whatever. |
| Rath starts using his two fingers to pull the Tiffin's skin lightly. | |
| Rath | (chuckles) Guess you are kinda-- |
| Rath notices that Gwen and Kevin are watching him. Rath quickly hides the Prince of Lewoda behind his back. | |
| Rath | What? |
| Kevin | We have good news and bad news. |
| Gwen | The bad news is, that black hole stunt Kevin pulled damaged the engine. |
| Kevin | But the good news is, I found a planet near here with exactly what I need to get us going again. |
| Rath | And what's that? |
| The team are at a rocky planet full of Taydenite. | |
| Rath | Taydenite?! |
| Gwen | Told you he wouldn't like it. |
| Kevin | (being lifted by Rath) What's the big deal? |
| Rath | The big deal?! The big deal is 'cause... uhhh... uhhhh... (puts Kevin down) you tell him. |
| Gwen | Because, every time you mention Taydenite, Vulkanus shows up and tries to kill us. |
| Rath | What she said! |
| Kevin | Come on... You're exaggerating. |
| Vulkanus | (appears out of a cave) Hey! What are you doing here?! (army of Pickaxe Aliens come out behind him) It doesn't matter... Kill them! |
Act 3
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Vulkanus | Hang on... Is that you, Tennyson? |
| Rath | Yeah. So? |
| Vulkanus | So, what happened? You set the Omnitrix to ugly? (laughs) Set the Omnitrix to ugly...! (laughs at his joke more; his minions start to do the same) |
| Rath | Let me tell you something, Vulkanus! |
| Kevin | (steps forward before Rath can attack) Whoa, big guy! Let me handle this. |
| Gwen | You? |
| Kevin | Yeah, me. You think Ben's the only one who can do a negotiation? |
| Gwen | Well, not at the moment. |
| Kevin | (turns to Vulkanus) Vulkanus, you've made a lot of money off me. Do we have to be enemies? |
| Vulkanus | Pretty much, yeah. |
| Kevin | Even if I'm willing to pay for what I need? (pulls out a small gold cube) Say, 10 times the going rate? |
| Vulkanus | I like the way you're thinking! (leans forward) But considering that we're on my territory, and there's no way for you to escape, the number seems... low. |
| Rath | Come on, that's a great deal! Considering every time we run up against you, we kick your butt! |
| Vulkanus | What did you say? |
| Rath | I should have said "spank your butt," since you're just a little baby in that big mechanical suit! |
| Kevin | Uh, Ben, I've got this one? |
| Rath | I'm gonna call you Babyman, Babyman. |
| Vulkanus | You’re not getting any Taydenite from me! in fact, you can forget about getting off this planet. (to Pickaxe Aliens) Whack 'em! |
| The Pickaxe Aliens jump into action. | |
| Kevin | (fighting Pickaxe Aliens) Hey, I was negotiating! |
| Rath | (fighting Pickaxe Aliens) No, this is negotiating! |
| Kevin | (to Gwen) This whole trip is like one of those dreams where everyone you know is in it, and they all want to hurt you. |
| Gwen | I don't have dreams like that. |
| Kevin | Oh, uh, me either. |
| Vulkanus is about to shoot, but Rath emits a ground shockwave with his claw that blasts the Pickaxe Aliens and Vulkanus, before the latter can strike. | |
| Rath pulls Vulkanus out of his suit. | |
| Vulkanus | You ruined my whole supply! |
| Rath | I see a couple good pieces in that pile. |
| The team then fly to their destination, the Pantophage home planet. | |
| Kevin | As we make our final approach to the Pantophage home planet, let me say thanks to all of you for flying with us on Kevin Levin Airway. |
| Gwen | Oh, just button it. |
| The Lewodan prince squeaks at Rath. | |
| Rath | Oh, relax. (changes to a brighter tone and wiggles his finger on the Prince) You'll be okay. |
| Gwen | I have an incoming signal, from the planet Lewoda. |
| A holographic contact of Cicely appears on the ship. | |
| Cicely | My dear Tiffin, I just wanted to tell you how proud I am, of what you're doing for our people. Please, I beg of you, do not give my son to the Pantophage. |
| Rath | (hotheaded) Hang on, you came to us, 'kay? We didn't ask for this job, but like it or not, now we gotta finish it! |
| Gwen | Don't be such a hardnose about it! |
| Cicely | No, he is right, it is as it must be. |
| The team land on the Pantophage' home planet. | |
| They enter the castle of Jarret, ruler of the Pantophage, with his chefs cooking. | |
| Jarret | I am Jarret, King of the Pantophage. |
| Rath | Let’s get it over with. (grabs the Prince's case out of Gwen's hands and holds it out for Jarret) We brought you the Tiffin! |
| Jarret | And I thank you for your trouble. (puts his fingers on the Prince's case, with the Tiffin squealing unhappily) |
| Rath | Sorry, little guy. |
| Jarret grabs the Lewodan prince and places him on a golden thing. | |
| Jarret | There. Isn't that... lovely? (gobbles up the Lewodan prince) |
| Rath, Gwen and Kevin stare in disbelief and shock. Kevin faints. | |
| Rath | Did you just eat the baby?! |
| Jarret | Yes, I did. |
| Rath | I thought you were gonna keep it! I thought it was a peace offering! |
| Jarret | Yes, well, he was all that. Plus, a rare delicacy. That's what a peace offering is, here on my planet. |
| Rath | Eating... babies... is not... cool! |
| Rath jumps down Jarret's throat, wriggles around in his stomach, and bursts through Jarret's front teeth, holding the Lewodan prince. The Lewodan prince squeaks. | |
| Rath | Yeah, I know. Same here... |
| Jarret | How dare you! Certainly you realize that this means war?! |
| Rath | Hold this. (gives Kevin the Lewodan prince, then leaps onto Jarret's face) Let me tell you something, Jarret of Pantophage: I just jumped down your throat! You start a war with the Lewodans, and I will do it again! Only next time, I will knit your intestines into a sweater! |
| Rath leaps off and snarls at Jarret. | |
| The team exit the castle and the Lewodan prince's parents arrive and the Lewodan family reunite. | |
| Cicely | My son! Alive! It's a miracle! |
| Kevin | Glad to help. Now, about our fee- (Gwen elbows him) |
| Gwen | We’re happy it all worked out. |
| Zaw-Veenull | Nevertheless, on behalf of Lewoda, let me offer our sincere gratitude to you for negotiating a peace treaty with the Pantophage, who otherwise would have- |
| Rath | Did you know Jarret was gonna eat the baby?! |
| Zaw-Veenull | Err, well, I wasn't sure exactly, but- |
| Rath | (points his claw at Zaw-Veenull's face) Never... talk to me... again. |
| Zaw-Veenull backs away as Rath retracts his claw. | |
| Cicely | Thank you, Ben Tennyson. Thank you all! |
| Rath turns back into Ben as Zaw-Veenull, Cicely, and the Lewodan prince leave. | |
| Gwen | Ben, you're back! |
| Ben | Yeah! As soon as the Tiffin left, I went back to normal. |
| Gwen | That baby must have sent out some sort of interference that messed with the Omnitrix. |
| Kevin | Good guess. |
| Ben | You knew? |
| Kevin | Well, I wasn't sure exactly, but... |
| Ben | Kevin... Rath would like a word with you. (activates his Omnitrix and turns into Rath) |
| Rath | Let me tell you something, Kevin E. Levin! |
| Kevin | (frightened) Please don't. |
