Alone Together Good Copy, Bad Copy
Darkstar Rising

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!
