Prologue
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Kevin is driving his car to a lair. | |
| Kevin | Ben, you sure this is the place? |
| Ben | That's what the tip said. |
| Kevin | Yeah, that's what worries me. You don't get tips, I get tips. You got no connections. |
| Ben | Come on Kevin. I've got connections. |
| Kevin | Yeah, like who? |
| Ben | Umm, uhh, like Gwen. |
| Gwen | It's true, he does know me. |
| Ben | Lot of support there, Gwen. Thanks. |
| Gwen | We could just go take a look and see. |
| Gwen magics up some manna stepping stones to take a look through the window. The Forever Knights are in there. | |
| Kevin | (absorbs stone) Forever Knights! |
| Gwen | Up to no good as usual. |
| Ben | Showtime! |
| Ben activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Chromastone. | |
| Chromastone | Chromastone! |
| Chromastone jumps and tears through the window. | |
| Chromastone | Alright, nobody move! |
| The Forever Knights are not responding. | |
| Kevin | Hey! Did you guys hear us? |
| Gwen | I don't think so. |
| Gwen pokes her hand through a Forever Knight, revealing them to be holograms. | |
| Chromastone | Holograms? |
| Voice | Good guess. |
| A Plumber called Magister Prior Gihlil appears and presses a switch that makes the Forever Knight holograms disappear. | |
| Gilhil | Magister Gilhil of the Plumbers. Magister Prior Gilhil. I'm the commanding officer of this entire quadrant. You're all under arrest for impersonating officers of the law. |
| Theme Plays. | |
Act 1
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| The Omnitrix times out, and Chromastone reverts into Ben. | |
| Ben | Under arrest for what?! |
| Gilhil | Impersonating a Plumber. We're the only law enforcement organization recognized by all signatories of the Milky Way treaty. That makes what you've done an interclass felony. |
| Kevin | (sarcastically) Sounds bad. |
| Gilhil | If I were you, I'd keep my big mouth in check. |
| Kevin | If I were you, I wouldn't threaten a guy who could kick you can halfway up the street and back. |
| Gilhil | You feeling froggy, son? Then jump. |
| Kevin is about to attack him and is stopped by Gwen. | |
| Gwen | And if you're feeling smart, don't. |
| Kevin | Ribbit. |
| Kevin tries to punch Gilhil, but is restrained by Gilhil and the latter twists his hand. | |
| Kevin | Aah! |
| Gilhil throws Kevin. | |
| Gilhil | Stay down, son. |
| Kevin absorbs metal and punches him. | |
| Gilhil | Much as I enjoy going a few rounds with you, I don't have the time. |
| Gilhil shoots an energy trapping bolt at Kevin with a gun which levitates Kevin in the air. Ben activates the Omnitrix. | |
| Gilhil | Don't. |
| Gwen | Do. |
| Ben transforms into Goop. | |
| Goop | Goop! |
| Goop constrains Gilhil with his body, forcing his gun to drop, rendering him weak. Gilhil tries to flee but is uncapable of doing so, therefore defeated. | |
| Goop | You wanna talk? Let's talk. |
| The trio and Gilhil are then on the ceiling. | |
| Kevin | I don't see why we gotta talk to him. |
| Gilhil | Because I'm the plumber officer in charge for this whole section of space. |
| Ben | And you know we're the good guys. |
| Gilhil | What I know is that the last couple of months, I've gotten several reports of you kids passing yourselves off as plumbers. |
| Gwen | Our grandfather was a plumber. |
| Gilhil | Max Tennyson. He was a good man, but that doesn't make you plumbers. (to Kevin) And you, you don't even have a claim by blood. |
| Kevin | Yes I do. My father, my real father was... |
| Gwen | Kevin? |
| Kevin | Nothing, nevermind. |
| Gilhil | The point is there's a reason we shut down Plumber operations on Earth five years ago. After Vilgax was destroyed- |
| Ben | You mean after I destroyed him. |
| Gilhil | Credit due. But Earth is a Level 2 backwater planet. Without an imminent threat, I can't allow Earth's resources to be wasted here. I've got over three hundred inhabitant planets over my watch. |
| Ben | Look, 'Magister', can I call you Magister? |
| Gwen | The other plumber we met was called 'Magister' too, Magister Labrid. |
| Gilhil | Magister is a rank, not a name. You pretend to be plumbers, but you know nothing about the job. |
| Gwen | I've never pretended to be anything! |
| Ben | Aliens are attacking our planet! We're just fighting to keep it safe. |
| Gilhil | I've read reports of your activities. There is no evidence of significant alien activity here. |
| Ben | We've seen them! I wrecked one of their ships! |
| Gilhil | I've assigned a new Magister to this region. He'll check in on Earth sometime in the next few months. If you have proof, present it to him and let him take care of Plumber business. |
| Ben | A few months?! |
| Gilhil | I'm inclined to give you kids a break. Ben, you wear the Omnitrix so you already have special dispensation. The Galvan have requested that you not be interfered with in minor matters, and the reports I've read indicate you say you've never impersonated a Plumber, (to Kevin) but you... |
| Kevin | Yeah, what? |
| Gilhil | You've got a record. You've done time in the Null Void for a variety of crimes. |
| Gwen | He's changed. |
| Ben | He's did his time, he's been helping us. |
| Gilhil | He's been impersonating a Plumber. Give me the badge you stole. |
| Kevin | Don't take my badge man, please. |
| Gilhil | Now! Or you're going back to the Null Void. |
| Kevin gives his Plumber Badge to Magister Gilhil. | |
| Gilhil | Thank you. (deactivates his badge) You're free to go, but if you ever get involved in Plumbers business again, I don't care what Azmuth says, you're all going to the Null Void. Even you, Ben. |
| Gilhil presses a button that makes him disappear. | |
| Ben | Is that it? Is this the end? |
Act 2
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| The team hang out at Mr. Smoothy, enjoying smoothies. | |
| Ben drinks one and burps. | |
| Ben | Cheer up, Mr. Smoothy makes everything better (offers smoothie to Kevin) |
| Kevin | (drinks smoothie; gets grossed out by it) Ugh! How does turnip and weed grass make anything better? |
| Ben | Well I like it, besides, it's also got ginger in it. |
| Kevin | (sarcastically) Oh, ginger, that solves all our problems. |
| Gwen | Seriously Ben, Magister Gilhil pretty much just put us out of business. What are we gonna do? |
| Ben | We're gonna keep doing what we've been doing, find the aliens, fight the bad guys. |
| Gwen | He said he'd put us in the Null Void. |
| Ben | (drinks smoothie) He also said Plumbers never come around here anymore. We'll worry about it when, or should I say, if he ever shows up again. (drinks smoothie) |
| Kevin | He took my badge! |
| Ben | Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges. |
| Kevin | (grabs Ben) You think this is a joke? |
| Gwen | Kevin, let him go! |
| Kevin throws Ben on his car. | |
| Ben | Dude! |
| Kevin | I wanna be a Plumber, okay? When I was little, my mom would tell me stories about my dad, how he was a Plumber and did all this cool stuff. |
| Gwen | I never met your dad. |
| Kevin | Me neither, but I still wanna be like him. |
| Gwen | That's why you know so much about the Plumbers and alien technology and everything. |
| Kevin | That's why I agreed to help you guys in the first place - mostly. I need my badge back Ben, it's the only thing that matters. (enters his car and drives his car) |
| Meanwhile, at a Highbreed lair, the DNAliens are working, and they can hear someone's footsteps. | |
| DNAliens | (muffling to each other confusedly) |
| Suddenly, a Dark Masked Guy enters their lair. The DNAliens spit slime at him and blasts dark energy beams at the DNAliens, rendering them unconscious. | |
| The masked guy uses his enhanced strength to open the door to the next room for him to be surprised by DNAliens who blast him, for the masked guy to retaliate with dark energy beams and take down one DNAlien that attempts to pounce at him, then hits the door open to a Highbreed's lair. | |
| Highbreed Lord | Who are you? What insignificant alien spec dares to enter the command center of the Highbreed lord?! It doesn't matter, deadmen don't need names. |
| The Highbreed lord hits the masked guy into the wall. The Dark Masked Guy resists the attack with his enhanced strength. | |
| Dark Masked Guy | Nice shot, you're just as strong as I heard. |
| The Highbreed lord unleashes his wings for a stone to get thrown at him by the Dark Masked Guy, then snarls. | |
| Dark Masked Guy | That's it, show me all of your power |
| The masked guy fires a dark absorbing beam at the Highbreed lord. | |
| Dark Masked Guy | Give me your strength. |
| The masked guy's attack seems to have done some damage to the Highbreed lord. | |
| Highbreed Lord | What do you want from me? |
| Dark Masked Guy | I want to make a deal. |
| The scene changes to Gwen entering Kevin's storage unit where he is fixing his car. | |
| Kevin | Who's out there? |
| Gwen | Me, I brought you something to drink. |
| Kevin | Yeah, thanks anyway, I- |
| Gwen | It's not a smoothie. (shakes it; drinks it to prove it) See? Regular soda. |
| Kevin | (grabs soda) Yeah, okay. |
| Gwen | I just wanted to see how you were doing. |
| Kevin | Fine, y'know... Listen, I don't wanna talk about my dad. |
| Gwen | Never crossed my mind, I brought you a present. (gives him a wooden sphere) |
| Kevin | What's this? |
| Gwen | A wooden ball, absorb it. |
| Kevin absorbs it only for his hand to become wooden. | |
| Gwen | How about this one (gives him a metal ball) |
| Again, the matter only goes on his hand. | |
| Gwen | It's a ball barring made out of... I don't know, ball barring stuff. |
| Kevin | Stainless steel. |
| Gwen | I brought you a whole bag of them, all made of different materials, that way when we're in a fight, you can change into whatever you want. |
| Kevin | Thanks, but it doesn't really work that way, I need a lot of whatever I'm copying. |
| Gwen | Oh. |
| Kevin | And what makes you think I'm still helping you guys anyway? |
| Gwen | Because, you've changed. |
| Kevin | Maybe, but I'm still on parole, that Magister can put me back in that Null Void anytime he wants. |
| Gwen and Kevin are about to kiss but is interrupted by the Highbreed lord busting in the storage unit. | |
| Highbreed Lord | Human scum, I will clench the world of your filth! |
| Kevin | (absorbs his car) Looks like I've picked the wrong day to give up fighting monsters. |
Act 3
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Gwen | It's a Highbreed, Ben says they're too strong for us to fight. |
| Kevin | Well, Ben ain't here. |
| Kevin charges at the Highbreed lord and absorbs the ground floor to attack for him to be kicked back by the Highbreed lord. Gwen makes her turn by entrapping him with manna, but the Highbreed lord uses his enhanced strength to escape the manna trap and then puts a shield up before it can punch her and the latter is repetitively punching it. | |
| Highbreed Lord | That won't save you, human. |
| The Highbreed lord manages to break the manna shield, but before he can strike an attack, Kevin jumps in and stops the former's hand from punching Gwen, with his body, which renders the latter unconscious. Suddenly, Humungousaur arrives in the scene and stops the Highbreed lord from launching an attack. | |
| Humungousaur | Hey! Ugly, why don't you pick on someone your own size? |
| Humungousaur throws him into the ceiling, which leads him outside and the latter lands in the ground. | |
| Humungousaur | (to the Highbreed lord) I wouldn't if I were you. |
| Highbreed Lord | (snarling) |
| Suddenly, Magister Gilhil teleports into the scene. | |
| Gilhil | Didn't take you kids long to get yourselves into trouble again, did it? |
| Humungousaur | Us? We were just- |
| Highbreed Lord | -attacking me for no reason! |
| Humungousaur | (to Gilhil) He's one of the aliens we told you about, he's attacking the Earth! |
| Gilhil | Sure kid, how about some proof? |
| Highbreed Lord | They attacked me for no reason! They said they were Plumbers. |
| Gilhil | I've heard enough, you three are under arrest! (to Highbreed) And you... I don't know what's going on here, but I'm gonna find out, you're coming with me for questioning. |
| Dark Masked Guy | I beg to differ. |
| The Dark Masked Guy from earlier is in the scene. | |
| Dark Masked Guy | Nobody's going anywhere, not until I make your powers my own |
| The Dark Masked Guy fires dark absorbing beams at everybody, with Gwen putting up a manna force field. | |
| Highbreed Lord | (reacting to the absorption; to Dark Masked Guy) You promised that if I helped you... (groans weakly; rendered unconscious) |
| Dark Masked Guy | I can't be trusted. |
| Humungousaur tries to alter his size, to defend himself from the attack. | |
| Dark Masked Guy | I almost forgotten how strong you are... Ben. |
| The Omnitrix times out and Humungousaur reverts into Ben, and now feels vulnerable to the life absorption due to detransformation. | |
| Ben | Who are you? How did you... Gwen, run! |
| Gwen | What? |
| Ben | You've got to get away, you're our only hope, run! |
| Ben is now rendered unconscious. Gwen converts her manna force field into a manna ball and fires it at the masked guy. Gwen then retreats. | |
| Dark Masked Guy | You can't run forever, lovely Gwen, I'll have my revenge on you too, but first things first... |
| The Dark Masked Guy has took the unconscious four into a power plant, they wake up, entrapped in an energy pod and in chains. | |
| Gilhil | (to Ben and Kevin) I don't understand what's going on, (about the Dark Masked Guy) that's the guy who tipped me off that you were impersonating Plumbers. |
| Kevin | (about the Highbreed Lord) And he scammed big ugly too. |
| Highbreed Lord | (snarls angrily at Kevin) |
| Kevin | Well he did, don't snarl at me. |
| Ben | I know who he is. |
| Dark Masked Guy | Do you really? |
| Ben | You'd had to be somebody who knows all about the Plumbers and the Highbreed, but most importantly, you'd have to be somebody with a grudge against us. Why don't you take off the dopey mask, Michael! |
| Kevin | Wait, that's Michael Morningstar? The creep who tried to steal Gwen fro... Who... who stole all those powers from those girls at his prep school? |
| Dark Michael | When you ruined my plan, you nearly destroyed me, but over the weeks, my powers returned, stronger than ever! So did my hunger, my old method of feeding is no longer sufficient. |
| Ben | High school girls too tough for you, huh? |
| Dark Michael | To the contrary, I need more power than they can supply. Michael Morningstar no longer exists. |
| Michael removes his mask, revealing his disfigured face. | |
| Dark Michael | Now I am Darkstar! |
| Ben and Kevin are disgusted by his face. | |
| Darkstar | You did this to me! And you will feed my hunger! |
| Darkstar blasts absorbing beams at the entrapped four. | |
| Darkstar | I will take your strength and make it my own, until you have no more to give. |
| Kevin | If you can reach your Omnitrix, maybe Alien X? |
| Ben | No, if he absorbed all of that power, nothing can stop him! |
| Darkstar | Eventually, I'll have it all anyway. |
| Gwen | Michael! - Ew, I swear you were better looking when we used to go out. |
| Darkstar | Laugh while you can. I've got all the power of your teammates, plus the Highbreed and the Plumber. How can you possibly hope to defeat me alone? |
| Gwen | Who said anything about alone? |
| The DNAliens break into the Power Plant. | |
| Gwen | They're pretty mad about you kidnapping their boss. |
| The DNAliens snarl angrily at Michael and charge. While he fights them, Gwen fires a manna disk at the energy pod, freeing the entrapped four. | |
| Kevin absorbs his chains and frees himself, Ben, and Magister Gilhil from them. | |
| Gilhil | Thanks, kid. |
| Highbreed Lord | What about me? |
| Ben | Hang in there. |
| Darkstar | (continues to absorb the DNAliens charging at him) Too many... to absorb! |
| Gwen | And the bad news keeps on coming. |
| Gwen charges at him and rams a manna ball into him and then throws him. Ben activates his Omnitrix and turns into Echo Echo. Darkstar gets hit by Echo Echo's sonic screams and Magister Gilhil's gun. Then Spidermonkey jumps and kicks him, then Darkstar is hit by metal Kevin. Spidermonkey changes into Jetray and fires neuroshock lasers at Michael. Then Jetray changes into another alien. | |
| Humungousaur | Nighty-night. |
| Humungousaur pounces on Darkstar with his feet, defeating him and destroying the building. Gwen has a manna force field with herself, Kevin and Gilhil inside it to protect themselves from the crossfire in Humungousaur's pounce on Michael. | |
| Gwen | The Highbreed is gone. |
| Kevin | The DNAliens must've sprung him while we were fighting. |
| Then the team drag their attention back to a defeated Darkstar. The Omnitrix times out and Humungousaur reverts into Ben, who is worn out after that battle. | |
| Kevin | (to Ben) You okay man? |
| Ben | Tired. (Ben is worn out after the battle, and falls into Gwen's arms) |
| Gwen | Sit down and catch your breath. |
| Gilhil | Is he okay? |
| Ben | Everything... spinning... going dim... need... smoothie. |
| Gwen | He's fine. |
| The scene changes to outside the Power Plant, with Darkstar entrapped in an energy cage. | |
| Kevin | (to Gilhil) You sure that rig will hold him? |
| Gilhil | It's Level 6 technology son, he isn't going anywhere but the Null Void. |
| Ben | What about us? |
| Gilhil | I've been giving that some thought. You guys made a difference today. |
| Ben | And? |
| Gilhil | Maybe I don't need to reassign good men to this quadrant. Maybe they're already here. |
| Kevin | What's that mean? |
| Gilhil | You've been drafted. (gives Kevin back his Plumber Badge) Here's your badge back. (gives Gwen back her Plumber Badge) And here's one for you. |
| Ben puts his hand out for his Plumber Badge. | |
| Gilhil | Don't push it kid, you've already got the Omnitrix. As of now, you're the only law in the quadrant. Do a good job. (teleports him and Darkstar out of the scene) |
| Kevin briefly walks away in excitement. | |
| Ben | Hey, where are you going? |
| Kevin | I've got to tell my mom! |
