| Ben Again | ─ | |
| Special Delivery |
Prologue
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| At Ben's house, Thunderpig repeatedly rings the doorbell. | |
| Ben | (inside his house; offscreen) Just a sec. |
| Thunderpig | (growls) |
| Ben opens his door, and Thunderpig immediately grabs him by the collar, pulling him outside. | |
| Ben | Aah! |
| Thunderpig | Hello. (snorts) I am Thunderpig! You ate my father with lettuce and tomato on a wheat roll! Prepare to die. |
| Ben | What are you talking about? |
| Thunderpig | I am talking about vengeance, sizzling strips of juicy, succulent vengeance! |
| Thunderpig tosses Ben away and begins swinging his flail in the air. As he spins it, the flail becomes surrounded by electricity. | |
| Thunderpig | Thunder...thunder...Thunderpig! (squeals) |
| Thunderpig swings his flail at Ben, who quickly activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Echo Echo, dodging the attack due to his shorter stature. | |
| Thunderpig | Aah! |
| Echo Echo runs around Thunderpig, who tries to hit him again. He jumps away from the flail just in time, splitting into three Echo Echoes. They unleash sonic screams at him, but he resists the attack and roars as he once again brings down his flail. The Echo Echoes jump onto the street, and one hops onto the flail, creating another sonic scream. Thunderpig rips his flail out of the ground (de-platforming the Echo Echo) and pursues Echo Echo next to the car. He misses his shot with his flail again, and spots an Echo Echo clone on the roof of the vehicle. | |
| Echo Echo #1 | I didn't eat your dad. |
| Another Echo Echo on the car's trunk pipes up. | |
| Echo Echo #2 | And for the record- |
| The originally-followed Echo Echo speaks up. | |
| Echo Echo #3 | I prefer turkey bacon. |
| The Echo Echoes run up the neighbor's driveway. Thunderpig brings down his flail, again failing to hit the Echo Echoes. | |
| Echo Echo #2 | I don't- |
| Echo Echo #1 | Have any beef- |
| Echo Echo #3 | With you. |
| Thunderpig | (laughs; squeals) |
| Thunderpig swings his flail high into the air, and brings it down on the Echo Echoes. They all scream, creating a sonic dome around themselves. The flail bounces off the dome, and the Echo Echoes increase the intensity of their screams, knocking Thunderpig back. However, the volume shatters the windows of the neighbor's car. The door to the house opens, revealing Mr. Baumann as its owner. | |
| Baumann | Tennyson! |
| Echo Echo reverts back to Ben as Mr. Baumann approaches him. | |
| Ben | (panicking) Mr. Baumann! It's not my fault! (gestures at Thunderpig) This pig showed up out of nowhere, and he said I ate his father, and then he... |
| Mr. Baumann glares at Ben. | |
| Ben | Let's stay positive. It's only the glass. |
| The car's horn then starts blaring as it slowly breaks down and loses its rims. | |
| Ben | (chuckles nervously) |
| Baumann | Ooh! (mutters indistinctively; growls) |
| Theme Plays | |
Act 1
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Ben | Mr. Baumann, it wasn't me. It was that big old pig's fault. |
| Baumann | Every time, it's you! It's always you! |
| In the past, Mr. Baumann (sporting more hair) scrubs his car clean with a cloth. A 5½-year-old Ben disturbs him. | |
| Ben | Hey, Mr. Baumann! |
| Baumann | Can I help you, young man? |
| Ben | Doubt it. My name is Ben. I'm your new neighbor. My mom and dad just moved in next door. Whoa, is this your car? |
| Baumann | D-D-Don't touch it! It's a classic '67. |
| Ben | Yeah, yeah, it's old. Got it, gotcha. |
| Ben stands on a toolbox and admires the car. | |
| Baumann | Don't you have anything better you could be doing? |
| Ben | Me? Nah. I got nothing but time. |
| Ben pulls a magnifying glass out of his pocket and inspects the car. | |
| Ben | You missed a spot. |
| Baumann | Where? |
| Ben | Right here. |
| Mr. Baumann looks through the magnifying glass. | |
| Baumann | I don't see anything. |
| The magnifying glass then concentrates the light coming from the sun, burning the car. The car quickly catches ablaze and the horn honks. | |
| Ben | Aah! |
| Baumann | Oh! |
| Ben | See ya! (runs away) |
| Mr. Baumann rips out his hair. | |
| Flash forward five years, outside of Baumann's. Mr. Baumann notices an 11-year-old Ben run by, to fight Dr. Animo and his Mutant Mosquito. | |
| Ben | Well, if it isn't Dr. Animo and one giant mutant mosquito. Just one? You really ought to think this stuff through. |
| Ben activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Way Big. He smashes the mutant mosquito between his palms, and it struggles to fly about. He grabs Mr. Baumann's nearby truck (tipping over his car in the process), and bats Dr. Animo away with it. He then hurls it at the mutant mosquito, sending the truck into space. Mr. Baumann's car then flips over, breaking the windows. | |
| Baumann | (groans) |
| Mr. Baumann pulls more of his hair out. | |
| Way Big | See ya! (runs away) |
| Flash forward four years, where 15-year-old Ben chases down a DNAlien through the streets. He activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Big Chill. He freezes the DNAlien solid, along with Mr. Baumann's car on accident. Big Chill reverts back to Ben as Mr. Baumann exits a building with his coffee. | |
| Baumann | Tennyson! |
| Ben | Sorry, sorry, sorry! |
| Ben exhales on the car, trying to thaw it. | |
| Ben | Come on, melt. |
| Ben takes Mr. Baumann's coffee and pours it on the car, which breaks up the ice, along with splitting his car in half. Ben runs away from the scene. | |
| In the present, Ben dons a pink apron and holds onto several groceries. | |
| Ben | But, Mr. Baumann, I've spent half my life working off the damage. |
| Mr. Baumann places a cap on Ben's head. | |
| Baumann | You should have thought of that before you came near by car. Until it's paid off, you're going to make deliveries for me. |
| Ben | No sweat. I can use my aliens and be done in- |
| Baumann | No alien powers, no alien anything! This is going to be work, hard work, not fun. |
| Ben gives a disappointed look. | |
| Baumann | You're going to learn responsibility if it kills you, starting now. |
| In Undertown, the Sock Vendor advertises his socks. | |
| Sock Vendor | Tube socks. Get your tube socks. Now in chocolate, vanilla, and new-car smell. |
| Ben walks up to the Sock Vendor's shop, carrying a heavy box. | |
| Ben | (grunting) Uh, delivery from Mr. Baumann. |
| Sock Vendor | Did you wreck his car again? |
| Ben places the box down. He holds out a clipboard. | |
| Ben | It wasn't my fault. |
| The Sock Vendor signs the paper and Ben turns back. | |
| Sock Vendor | (shaking his head) That poor biped. |
| The Sock Vendor opens his box and pulls out a white sock. | |
| In his new shop filled with vases and dishware, Pakmar hums to himself as he sweeps the floor. | |
| Pakmar | (singing) Pakmar, Pakmar. (continues humming) |
| Ben comes into the shop with an elongated object. | |
| Pakmar | Tennyson, what are you doing here in Pakmar's new place? |
| Ben | Delivery. Where do you want these? |
| Ben looks around, accidentally knocking some vases off of a table with his goods. | |
| Pakmar | No! |
| Pakmar tries to catch the vases, but they all fall on the floor and shatter. | |
| Ben | Not here? Then where? Over here? |
| Ben looks in the opposite direction, again knocking Pakmar's wares onto the floor and breaking them. | |
| Pakmar | No! Stop! |
| Ben | Stop where? |
| Ben accidentally knocks even more wares down. Pakmar jumps up and grabs onto the straps of his apron. | |
| Pakmar | Get out! |
| Ben | But you have to sign for it. |
| Pakmar | Get out! |
| Ben drops his delivery and runs out the door. The delivery falls over and knocks down a bowl as he leaves. Even more wares follow suit, for seemingly no reason. | |
| Ben enters an Undertown Bar, and is met with a look from the bartender. He drops the packages he carried in on the ground. | |
| Ben | (sighs) Were you expecting a package? |
| Bartender | Yes. Something ferocious, something... (looks around) ...deadly. |
| Corvo, who is drinking at the bar. tries to not be noticed by Ben. As Ben searches through the packages, Corvo grabs one and makes a getaway. Ben picks up a package with a stench visibly emitting from it. The contents hiss. He hands it over. | |
| Ben | Oh. Then I guess this one is yours. |
| Elsewhere in Undertown, many of Ben's villains sit on bleachers situated near a lectern, chatting amongst themselves. Psyphon walks down a set of stairs and up to the lectern. | |
| Psyphon | (clears throat) |
| The conversations continue. | |
| Psyphon | (clears throat more loudly) |
| The crowd silences. | |
| Psyphon | I didn't invite here to socialize. I've invited you here to share in an opportunity, an opportunity to bid on auctions for unique objects and one-of-a-kind curios, like this next lot right here - a date with the lovely Fistina. |
| Fistina walks down the stairs. She walks up to the crowd. | |
| Psyphon | As informed bidders know, Fistina does not come onto the market very often. Shall I start the bidding at one tayden? |
| Someone coughs. | |
| Psyphon | One tayden. Do I hear one tayden? One tayden here? |
| The crowd begins murmuring as they try to distract themselves. Dummyhead puts his hand up, but Tummyhead brings it back down. Fistina turns to the other end of the crowd, who similarily averts their attentions. She looks to the center and sees a Kraaho named Loovis Slerdlerk, bouncing up and down. Psyphon bangs his gavel. | |
| Psyphon | Sold! |
| Fistina walks up to Loovis. Lovestruck, they slowly embrace each other. | |
| Psyphon | (laughs) Yes. Now, for what you've all been waiting for - the pièce de résistance, a dwarf star. |
| Corvo walks down the stairs with the bag he snatched. | |
| Psyphon | You know how rare this is. Serious bidders only. |
| Corvo walks up to the crowd and holds the bag up high. | |
| Psyphon | Compacted into a special container, it can supercharge any device in the galaxy. A regular engine becomes a super engine. A regular weapon becomes a super weapon! (withdraws the bag's contents) What's my opening bid for - Huh? Goldfish? |
| Psyphon reveals to the crowd a small bag containing two goldfish. | |
| Elsewhere, Ben speaks to a customer. | |
| Ben | (turns his pockets inside-out) I had a penny here just a second ago. You wouldn't happen to have one I could borrow, would you? |
| His cart of packages is shown, with one bag appearing identical to the one Corvo stole. | |
Act 2
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Psyphon angrily grips the sides of his lectern, growling. Corvo makes a hasty retreat, as Psyphon flips the lectern. | |
| Psyphon | That fool courier brought the wrong bag! I- Wait. Wait a minute. If the bags got switched, the label - yes. |
| Psyphon picks up the bag. | |
| Psyphon | The label should tell me the delivery person who has my dwarf star. (reads the label) Tenny- Tennyson? Ben Tennyson? |
| The crowd starts to leave. Zombozo pulls Fistrick and Trombipulor aside. | |
| Zombozo | You know what this means, boys? Whoever gets that dwarf star from Ben 10 will get it and will get it for free. |
| Psyphon | Those rats! I have to get that dwarf star back before they get it. (panicking) I won't get my money! |
| Psyphon follows the crowd. | |
| Ben walks down a street in Undertown as he tries to find his next stop. | |
| Ben | Apartment 70F, apartment 7F0, apartment 7-smiley-face-0. Where's apartment 7? |
| Zombozo, Trombipulor and Fistrick watch Ben from afar. | |
| Zombozo | There he is. |
| Ben | (walking up to door) Maybe someone here can help me out. |
| Just as Ben knocks on the door, Zombozo, Trombipulor and Fistrick nab the cart. | |
| Ben | Hey! Get back here! |
| Ben gives chase. | |
| Ben | If I lose these deliveries, Mr. Baumann is never gonna- (notices them) Zombozo? |
| Zombozo | (to Fistrick and Trombipulor) Keep running. We're not here to fight. |
| Ben stops and activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Armodrillo. He burrows underground and surfaces in front of the criminals. | |
| Armodrillo | Zombozo, Trombipulor, and Fistrick? |
| Zombozo | Ben Tennyson. Funny seeing you here. Nah, it's not that funny. Get him! |
| Trombipulor charges at Armodrillo and the two clash. | |
| Armodrillo | You teamed up just so you could steal packages? |
| Zombozo walks up to Armodrillo. | |
| Zombozo | Don't judge me. It's tough out there being a clown. |
| Zombozo whacks Armodrillo's leg with a mallet, making him recoil. | |
| Armodrillo | Aah! |
| Trombipulor smashes Armodrillo into the ground. | |
| Armodrillo | Get off of me, peanut breath. |
| Armodrillo smacks Trombipulor in the face, sending him flying. | |
| Zombozo | (to Fistrick) Step right up. Hit the target and win a prize. |
| Fistrick draw a massive Gatling-gun-like blaster and fires lasers at Armodrillo, who ducks under them. He jackhammers the ground in return, causing Fistrick to fall into a fissure. | |
| Fistrick | Whoa! (groans) |
| Armodrillo growls as Zombozo turns around. He pulls out three bowling pins and rubber chicken, and juggles them. | |
| Zombozo | Now, don't distract me. This requires my utmost concentration. |
| Zombozo tosses the bowling pins at Armodrillo, and they explode on contact. He throws the rubber chicken, to less effective results. He then blows up a balloon and takes out a pin. | |
| Zombozo | You've been a great audience. Drive home safely. |
| Zombozo pops the balloon, releasing a pink smoke (along with confetti). He escapes in the smoke, cart in tow. | |
| Zombozo | (laughs) |
| Armodrillo follows Zombozo, as Trombipulor pulls Fistrick out of the ground with his trunk. Armodrillo jackhammers the ground, tripping Zombozo and spilling the packages out of the cart. | |
| Zombozo | (whimpering; stands up) Oh, well. Gah! |
| Zombozo retreats, as does Trombipulor and Fistrick. Armodrillo reverts back to Ben. | |
| Ben | That was weird. |
| In Bellwood, Mr. Baumann receives a call from Ben. He answers the phone. | |
| Baumann | Are you finished? |
| Ben | I have a question. |
| Ben | Is there any reason people would want to steal your packages? |
| Baumann | What? Did you lose your deliveries? |
| Ben | No, no, nothing like that, but some guys tried to- |
| Baumann | Then hurry up and finish! |
| Ben | I have to walk this stuff everywhere. You know, I could go a lot faster if you let me drive your truck. |
| Baumann | May I remind you of what happened to the last truck you touched? |
| In space, the truck floats aimlessly. | |
| An alien signs Ben's clipboard and takes its' package inside. | |
| Ben | That was years ago. |
| Baumann | No more excuses. Finish your job! |
| Ben | Okay, okay. Stop yelling at me. I'm almost done. I'll see you soon. |
| Ben hangs up his phone. | |
| Ben | That man has issues. (checks clipboard) Last delivery - a couple of goldfish. |
| Ben continues his job. | |
| Later, some Kraaho watch Ben from above. One grabs onto a pipe and swings down, nabbing the bag from the cart. | |
| Ben | What the- The Kraaho? |
| Ben gives chase to the Kraaho. | |
| Ben | Come on, you're stealing goldfish? Mr. Baumann's gonna kill me. |
| The Kraaho turns a corner. | |
| Ben | I'll buy you your own fish. Just give me those ba- aah! |
| Ben turns the corner, only to find Seebik and some other Kraaho carrying blasters. | |
| Ben | Seebik, does Ester know what you're doing? |
| Seebik | Oh, I hope not. Warriors, blast him! |
| The Kraaho open fire on Ben, who quickly transforms into Ampfibian. He swiftly maneuvers around the lasers and appears before the Kraaho. | |
| Ampfibian | Seebik, your warriors could use some more practice! Practice makes perfect. |
| Ampfibian extends his tentacles onto two of the warriors' shoulders. | |
| Ampfibian | Like this. |
| Ampfibian sends electricity through his tentacles, shocking the Kraaho. They fall to the ground as Seebik retreats. Ampfibian shocks his remaining goons before following Seebik. | |
| Ampfibian | Get back here! |
| Seebik runs into a dump filled with stacks of broken-down cars. | |
| Ampfibian | Seebik! |
| Ampfibian catches up to Seebik. | |
| Ampfibian | Give me back my goldfish! |
| Ampfibian shocks Seebik. He tumbles and drops the case, before running off. Ampfibian reverts back to Ben. | |
| Ben | Zomobozo, Trombipulor, Fistrick, now Seebik and the Kraaho? Too much of a coincidence. But why are they trying to steal goldfish? Unless it's not goldfish. |
| Ben opens the bag and takes out the dwarf star. | |
| Psyphon | It's not. |
| Psyphon appears, holding the bag containing the goldfish. | |
| Ben | Psyphon, didn't know you were into goldfish. |
| Psyphon | Don't play dumb with me. It's a dwarf star in a containment sphere, and belongs to me. Hand it over! |
| Ben | Are you gonna make me? |
| Psyphon | Oh, no, I'm not. They are. |
| Zombozo, Fistrick, the Vreedle Brothers, Vulkanus, Trombipulor and Tummyhead all surround Ben. Sunder swoops down, riding his hoverboard. Ben chuckles nervously. | |
| Psyphon | You may have been able to one at a time, but you won't be able to do it all at once. |
Act 3
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Psyphon | There is no escape, Tennyson. Give me my dwarf star now! |
| Ben | Where's my goldfish? |
| Psyphon | What? |
| Trombipulor and Tummyhead exchange confused looks. | |
| Ben | My goldfish. If this bag has your star, then you have the bag with my goldfish. |
| Psyphon | Then, a trade. I give you your fish, you give me my dwarf star. |
| Ben | (outstretching hand) Deal. |
| Psyphon | What do you mean, "deal"? |
| Ben | I mean deal. Take your dwarf star. I just want the goldfish so Mr. Baumann will get off my back. |
| Psyphon | ...Why? You're holding a rare dwarf star, the ultimate power, but you're willing to give it up so easily? What's so special about these goldfish? |
| Ben | Ultimate power? Okay, new deal. I keep this, you give me the goldfish, and I don't wipe the walls with the lot of you. |
| Psyphon | Get him! |
| Trombipulor and Tummyhead charge at Ben, who activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Humungousaur. | |
| Humungousaur | Okay, then, no deal! |
| Trombipulor grapples with Humungousaur, but the latter suplexes him. He does the same to Tummyhead, dropping him on Trombipulor. He walks up to the two, holding a girder. | |
| Humungousaur | Hey, Trombipulor and Tummyhead, let me ask you a question, and be honest. Does this hurt? |
| Humungousaur hits the two criminals on their heads with the girder. They are left stunned. | |
| Humungousaur | I'll take that as a yes. |
| Humungousaur is suddenly assaulted by lasers. He sees the Vreedle Brothers and Fistrick firing on him. He charges towards them, leaps into the air, and starts sliding. | |
| Humungousaur | Slide tackle! |
| Humungousaur takes out his attackers. Sunder goes in for a slice with his axe, but Humungousaur punches him off of his hoverboard. | |
| Humungousaur | Don't think so. |
| The hoverboard flies back around, but Humungousaur nabs it. | |
| Humungousaur | Get out of here! |
| Humungousaur swings the hoverboard around, flinging it into the ceiling of Undertown. | |
| Humungousaur | Sweet. I got some good distance on that one. |
| The hoverboard is shown to have been flung into space, and it hits Mr. Baumann's truck. The truck begins to fall back to Earth. | |
| Back in Undertown, Humungousaur is confronted by Fistina, Zombozo and Vulkanus. Zombozo cracks an energy whip. | |
| Zombozo | Back, Tennyson, back. |
| Humungousaur is knocked back by his lashes. | |
| Zombozo | Ah, this brings me back to my days working in a school lunchroom. (laughs) |
| Humungousaur notices a stack of cars behind him as the three crooks approach him. He runs behind the stack and whacks it with his tail, causing it to fall apart on top of them. | |
| Humungousaur | Next! |
| Fistina and Vulkanus emerge from the wreckage. Meanwhile, Psyphon walks up to the bag containing the dwarf star. He looks back, and sees Humungousaur deck Vulkanus in the face. | |
| Psyphon | The battle's not going well. Time to bring out the heavy artillery. |
| Psyphon opens the bag and grins. Meanwhile, Humungousaur takes a hit from Fistina, before countering with his own punch. He once again takes out Vulkanus. He grabs both their arms, and smashes the two against each other. | |
| Humungousaur | You know, you could have just given me the fish. |
| Psyphon appears before Humungousaur, dwarf star in hand. | |
| Psyphon | Fish? Fish? Fool. This is a dwarf star. You have no idea how powerful this is. |
| Psyphon attaches the dwarf star to his chest plate, causing him to glow yellow. He evilly laughs, as he radiates energy. | |
| Psyphon | Allow me to demonstrate. |
| Humungousaur rushes towards Psyphon, but he blasts him back with telekinesis, courtesy of the dwarf star. Psyphon engulfs his hand in flames, and admires it. | |
| Psyphon | Such power. The only downside is now I'll have to auction this dwarf star as being slightly used, but if I destroy Ben Tennyson with it, it'll be worth it. |
| Psyphon fires balls of energy at Humungousaur, which he dodges. He goes in for a punch, but Psyphon manifests a force field that blocks his blows. He sends Humungousaur back once again. | |
| Psyphon | Impressive force field, isn't it? |
| Psyphon teleports next to Humungousaur and repeatedly strikes him. | |
| Psyphon | Ha! |
| Psyphon creates a ball of energy and fires it directly at Humungousaur, sending him into a pile of cars. He stands before the defeated Humungousaur. | |
| Psyphon | I'm beginning to have second thoughts about selling this dwarf star. |
| Psyphon grabs Humungousaur's leg, and swings him around, throwing him into more wreckage. Humungousaur reverts back to Ben. | |
| Psyphon | If I keep it, I could conquer the universe...not that you'll be alive to see it happen. |
| Ben hides behind a car, having escaped thanks to the dust kicked up. Psyphon notices he is missing. | |
| Psyphon | Clever. You are a sneaky one, Tennyson. |
| Ben activates the Omnitrix. He starts cycling through aliens. | |
| Ben | Not gonna be able to overpower him. I need a new plan of attack. |
| Psyphon hurls junk at Ben, having discovered his location. Ben looks back at Psyphon and slams down the tower, transforming into an ogre-like alien with a caged head named Toepick. Psyphon flies over him. | |
| Psyphon | What is this? Am I supposed to be impressed? |
| Psyphon rushes towards Toepick, who turns around. He stops in his tracks, as Toepick's cage opens up. Horrific screaming is heard as Psyphon turns a ghostly white upon seeing his face. | |
| Psyphon | No! Aah! Aaaah! (falls down) Get away from me! Get away from me! Aaah! |
| Psyphon runs into a fridge, knocking himself out, as Toepick times out. Ben confiscates the dwarf star. | |
| Ben | I'll take that. (picks up goldfish) And more importantly, I'll take this. |
| Later, Ben gets a signature from T8-M for the goldfish. She hands him a tayden, and he runs off. | |
| Ben | Yes! Hoo-hoo! |
| Above Undertown, something flies across the sky. | |
| At Mr. Baumann's house, Ben hands Mr. Baumann the tayden. | |
| Ben | There's the last of it. Every last package safely delivered. |
| Baumann | Thank you, Ben. My car's been completely fixed and you've worked off the damage. |
| Ben | So, we're square? |
| Baumann | (rubbing his car) Completely square...at least, until the next time you wreck my car. |
| Ben | Don't worry Mr. Baumann. That's never gonna happen again. |
| The two then notice Mr. Baumann's truck plummeting towards them. | |
| Baumann | My car! |
| The trucks obliterates his house, leaving just the door and a chair. | |
| Baumann | I truly, truly hate you. |
| Ben | Mr. Baumann, I don't know what to say, but I guess the right thing to do is...see ya! |
| Ben makes a run for it. | |
| Baumann | Tennyson! I know where you live! |
| Ben runs into his house and slams the door behind him. Mr. Baumann opens his door, and walks into the remains of his house. he sits down on his chair and starts to cry, as it begins to rain. | |
