Prologue
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| In Undertown, a brown, heavily-armored truck drives past a shop with a giant model of a Tiffin atop it. A large line stands before it, with Ben and Rook at the front. The vendor dispenses ice cream resembling a Tiffin into a cup, and hands it off to Ben. In turn, Ben tosses him a Tayden, and begins eating the food. | |
| Rook | I am surprised see this establishment thriving. The possession and consumption of Tiffin is banned in fifteen systems. |
| Ben | Mm. Relax, Rook. It's Tiffin (licks spoon) flavored. |
| Rook | But are Tiffins not the offspring of the Lewodan? How could you eat something like that? |
| Ben continues to enjoy his ice cream. | |
| Ben | I said it's Tiffin-flavored, as in "artificial". It's not actually Lewodan babies. (eats the Artificial Tiffin) Mmm. |
| Rook | Oh. Well, that is different. |
| Rook offers a Tayden to the vendor, and he receives a cup of ice cream of his own. Unsure, he licks it, but quickly becomes accustomed to the taste. | |
| Rook | And delicious! |
| Ben and Rook exit the line, while a pair of Lewodans speak to those still in it. | |
| Female Lewodan | (holds up photo; to Atrocian Sculptor) Have you seen our baby? |
| Atrocian Sculptor | (grumbles) |
| Female Lewodan | (to T8-M) H-have you seen our baby? |
| T8-M shakes her head. The male Lewodan comforts his wife as they move up the line. Meanwhile, Suemungousaur, joined by Liam, grabs one of the aliens in the line ahead of them. Liam holds up a blaster to the alien. | |
| Liam | (squawks) Nobody gets any funny ideas and nobody gets hurt! |
| Alien Citizen | But this really hurts! |
| Suemungousaur | No, it doesn't. |
| Liam | (squawks) Crikey! It's Tennyson! |
| Suemungousaur looks over, and hides the alien behind her back. Liam does the same with his blaster, as Ben and Rook walk by, none the wiser. Suemungousaur and Liam continue their antics, shaking the valueables out of the alien's clothes into a satchel. Ben suddenly stops walking. | |
| Ben | Wait a minute. They forgot my chocolate...sauce. |
| Ben and Rook notice Liam and Suemungousaur robbing the alien. | |
| Ben | Liam?! |
| Rook sets his ice cream on the floor as Ben quickly gobbles his own up, tossing it aside. | |
| Rook | (draws Proto-Tool) Suemungoursaur, put the citizen down and put your hands over your head! |
| Suemungousaur | You got it. |
| Suemungousaur tosses the alien aside, but Rook catches him before he hits the ground. | |
| Rook | (grunts) |
| Suemungousaur tries to smash him, but misses, destroying a vendor stall. Ben activates the Omnitrix. | |
| Ben | All right, Suemungousaur, meet... |
| Ben slams down the Omnitrix's tower, transforming him into Buzzshock. | |
| Buzzshock | Buzzshock! |
| Buzzshock flies into Suemungousaur, laughing uncontrollably as she fails to swat him out of the air. Rook, meanwhile, lets the alien go as he is nearly hit by a shot from Liam's blaster. He once again draws the Proto-Tool, in blade form, and slices the barrel of the blaster off. Liam fights back with his blades on his arms, forcing Rook to go on the defense. They trade blows, and Rook manages to kick Liam onto the top of a stall. Liam blocks his following overhead slash, as they jump from stall to stall. Liam tries to get in a punch, but ends up with his arm stuck in a sign. He breaks free, albeit after much struggle. Buzzshock continues to evade Suemungousaur, until she manages to flick him away. | |
| Suemungousaur | Shoo, fly. |
| Buzzshock slams against a sign with a screen on it, which he drains electricity from, powering himself up. He continues laughing, bounding all over the place. He knocks down Liam, but Suemungousaur quickly takes his place fighting Rook. She punches him, launching him into another stall. | |
| Suemungousaur | Take this, Red Spot! |
| Liam rejoins Suemungousaur as the armored truck appears between Rook and the villains. | |
| Liam | (squawks) Huh? |
| The back of the truck opens up, revealing some Techadon Robots. They exit the vehicle and corner Liam and Suemungousaur. The two hold their hands up, as Argit exits the truck. | |
| Argit | Stand down, criminals! |
| Buzzshock returns to the ground level and reverts back to Ben. He and Rook give each other confused looks, and walk up to Argit. | |
| Argit | Very nice. Very, very nice, boys. |
| Ben | We're not your boys, Argit. |
| Argit | It ain't always about you, Benjamin. (to Liam and Suemungousaur) This establishment is under the protection of Argistix Security Incorporated. I'd suggest you surrender. |
| Theme Plays | |
Act 1
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Argit appears before the building of his business operations, Argit Enterprises. | |
| Argit | Do you have items of the greatest value that need to be transported from here... |
| Argit points to the ground. He walks a few steps away. | |
| Argit | ...to here? |
| Argit swivels around in his office chair. | |
| Argit | Are you in need of protective services for your establishments? Well, look no further than...Argistix Security. |
| A graphic reading "Argistix Security" appears above Argit's head. | |
| Argit | With Argistix, "X" marks the spot, against crime, thievery, and...pilfering. |
| Similar graphics mirroring his list appear around Argit as he reads it out. A graphic of the Argistix Security logo with text reading "Just call Argistix Security" comes down. | |
| Argit | (poorly singing) Just call Argistix Securi-tay! We keep nogoodniks and jerks at bay! |
| The Argit in the photo winks. | |
| Argit | Thank you. |
| The image zooms out, revealing it to be a commercial Ben and Rook are watching in the Plumber Headquarters. Behind them, Patelliday speaks to the Lewodan parents. | |
| Ben | (laughing) One more time! |
| Max | Ben, you've watched it ten times. |
| Ben | But, Grandpa, it's priceless. |
| Rook tries to point out something, but Ben is ahead of him. | |
| Ben | And I don't mean the 49.99 two-for-one-deal, Rook. I mean, he's trying to sell himself as a security expert. Who's he trying to fool? |
| Max | I don't know, Ben, but you're right to be suspicious. Based off his previous track record and my gut, Argit is up to no good. I wouldn't trust him with my mother's dentures. |
| Rook | I cannot imagine why anyone would trust him with their dentures. |
| The three hear the elevator open and look over. A Techadon robot holding a package and a tablet appears before them. | |
| Techadon Robot | Delivery intermediation - Argistix Securities. Query for Misters Blukic and Driba. |
| Blukic and Driba excitedly run over to the Techadon robot. | |
| Blukic | Ooh! |
| Driba | That's us! |
| Blukic tries to push Driba aside as they make their way over. | |
| Techadon Robot | (holding out tablet) Only one valid digit print is required. |
| Blukic and Driba continue to quarrel. | |
| Driba | Well, you signed last time. |
| Blukic | No, you signed last time. |
| Driba | Excuse me, but... |
| Blukic and Driba look over at Ben, Rook and Max. | |
| Driba | What? We've been using Argistix for weeks. |
| Blukic | And we've never had better service. |
| Driba takes the opportunity to sign for the package with his pointer finger. The Techadon robot hands the package to Blukic, and the two walk away. | |
| Max | Yeah, I don't like this. |
| Ben | Neither do I. (to Rook) Let's go fishing. |
| Rook transforms his Proto-Tool into a fishing rod. The lure dangles in front of Ben. | |
| Ben | I mean let's go check out Argistix. |
| Rook | (laughing) Oh, good. I did not see how a fishing expedition would help us discover Argit's ulterior motives. |
| The backside of the Argit Enterprises building is shown, revealing it to double as the headquarters of Argistix Security. Several Techadon Robots work in a lower lot. Ben and Rook pull up to the lot in the Proto-TRUK. | |
| Rook | What exactly are we looking for? |
| Ben | I don't know. Anything...unusual. |
| The two see Simian run by. He chitters as he looks in the back of one of the trucks. | |
| Rook | Does Simian qualify as unusual? |
| Ben | Highly. |
| Simian looks to his sides, before placing a metallic cube in the truck. | |
| Ben | What are you doing here, Simian?! |
| Simian | Ben Tennyson! Welcome to Aristix Security. (hoots) |
| Simian closes the door on the truck with a button. | |
| Simian | Is there something of great importance that you need transported? |
| Ben | You mean you work here? |
| Simian | I do. In fact, you are looking at the head (hoots) of security. |
| Ben | Argit running a security company? Simian working for him? It's like a Russian nesting doll of shams. |
| Rook | I do not know what that means, but it does not sound good. |
| Simian | Look, I know you're skeptical, but I'm on the up-and-up, I swear. (hoots) |
| Argit joins the three. | |
| Argit | It's true, Benny boy. |
| Ben | Oh, come on, Argit, who do you think you're talking to? |
| Argit | I am doing my level best to keep up my good image. Thusly, I am running a legit business. |
| Rook | Then you need legitimate employees. In my experience, Simian is anything but. |
| Argit | Hey, I'm an equal-opportunity employer. And while, yes, we were both former con men looking out only for our best interests, who doesn't love a story of redemption? |
| Argit walks closer to Ben and Rook. | |
| Argit | (whispering) Not to mention, he was the only one who answered the want ad. |
| Ben | Fine. Let's just see how long you can keep up this "legitimate business". |
| Simian | Speaking of, I must get to work. These trucks don't run themselves. (pats truck; speaks into headset) Techadons (hoots) load up! |
| Simian walks away. | |
| Argit | Just watching that fella making good warms my cockles. How about yours? |
| Ben | Nope. |
| At the Black Hole, a ruckus is being caused. | |
| Patron | What the- whoa! |
| Tummyhead and a blue alien with an angler are thrown out of the establishment, through the window and door respectively. Rojo steps out of the saloon, intimidating them. | |
| Rojo | Next time, keep your grubby mitts off my hot wings. |
| Rojo's communicator beeps, and she picks it up. | |
| Rojo | Rojo here. Yeah? Where? |
| Tummyhead and the blue alien try to sneak away. | |
| Rojo | How much? (chuckles) Unh-unh. 50 percent? Did you call to hire me or insult me? |
| Rojo points her laser rifle at the aliens, and they gasp as the weapon goes off, causing an explosion. | |
| Ben, Rook and Argit see the explosion from the lot. Simian rejoins them. | |
| Ben | That came from the Black Hole. |
| Argit | Hey, o-one of my trucks is headed right into that area! (to Simian) Number two, alley-oop! |
| Simian | Um, (hoots) yes - yes, sir, Mr. Argit. |
| Simian swings on a web, grabbing Argit on his way. They leave the scene. | |
| Rook | I suppose we should follow them. |
| Ben | Let's go. |
| Rojo stands before the crater she has created as she speaks into her communicator. | |
| Rojo | Hello? Are you even there? Look, it's 75 percent or nothing. Better decide now. |
| Rojo sees the Argistix Security truck turn the corner. | |
| Rojo | Forget it. It's here. We'll haggle later. |
| Rojo cocks her laser rifle and aims for the vehicle. However, the Proto-TRUK bursts through a wall, intercepting the two. The Argistix Security truck swerves around the Proto-TRUK. | |
| Ben | Rojo. Been a while. |
| Rook | I do not know you, but can I assume you are up to no good? (draws Proto-Tool) |
| Rojo silently runs around the corner, to the surprise of Ben and Rook. | |
| Ben | Hey! I said "Hold it!" |
| Rojo drives out from the corner, now riding a hovering motorcycle. | |
| Rook | No, you did not. |
| Rook fires a grappling hook from the Proto-Tool, and it latches onto the motorcycle. He is quickly pulled along, and Ben climbs onto the roof of the Proto-TRUK's cabin. Argit appears on the scene. | |
| Argit | What are you waitin' for? Go help your partner save my truck! |
| Ben | Don't rush me, Argit. (activates Omnitrix) I'm doing you a favor here. |
| Ben slams down on the Omnitrix, transforming him into Frankenstrike. Frankenstrike slams his fists together and grunts. | |
| Frankenstrike | Just don't ask me why. |
| Frankenstrike leaps off of the Proto-TRUK, and bounds between canopies and signs down the street. Simian joins Argit. | |
| Simian | We don't need his help, boss. Our security bots can handle this. |
| Argit | Yeah. Well, we'll see about that. |
| The Argistix Security trucks continues driving, with Rojo in hot pursuit. Rook trails her, sliding across the ground on his heels. Rojo activates a holographic sight, when Rook appears behind her. | |
| Rook | Madam, I do not wish to harm you. |
| Rojo | Don't you worry about me. And don't call me "madam". |
| Rojo revs her motorcycle and flies it into the air. Rook manages to hang onto the bike with one hand, however. | |
| Rook | Please pull over...or down. |
| Rojo | How about you get off?! |
| Rojo jabs Rook's face with her elbow, forcing him to let go. As he falls, he fires a shot from the Proto-Tool, causing Rojo's motorcycle to go down as well. Rook falls on the roof of a building, while Rojo manages to still follow the truck. She bashes into it, knocking it over, though she ultimately flies into a building and is buried in debris. Frankenstrike lands on the tipped-over truck. He sees the windshield get kicked off of the truck as a Techadon robot steps out. | |
| Techadon Robot | (to Frankenstrike) Stand down, criminal. |
| The Techadon robot morphs its hand into a laser cannon. | |
| Frankenstrike | Hey, I'm on your side! |
| The Techadon robot fires a blast of energy, which Frankenstrike ducks under. | |
| Frankenstrike | Fine, if you won't listen... |
| Frankenstrike punches the arm of the Techadon robot, obliterating it. | |
| Frankenstrike | Strike one. |
| Frankenstrike does the same to the Techadon robot's other arm. | |
| Frankenstrike | Strike two. (grunts) |
| Frankenstrike punches through the Techadon robot's chest. He removes his arm and looks through the hole. | |
| Frankenstrike | Strike three! |
| The Techadon robot begins to repair itself. Frankenstrike times out, reverting back to Ben. The Techadon robot once again converts its hand into a laser cannon, and prepares to fire it. | |
| Ben | I'm out! |
Act 2
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Ben | (waving arms) Wait, wait, wait! Same team! Good guys! |
| The Techadon robot begins to charge up the blast. | |
| Argit | T-don, stand down! |
| Argit hops down from atop the truck, and waves his arms before the Techadon robot. Simian follows him close behind. | |
| Argit | Friend, n-not foe! |
| The Techadon robot morphs its laser cannon back into a hand and raises its fist in the air. | |
| Techadon Robot | Compliance. |
| Ben | Whoa. Thanks, Argit. |
| The two hear revving and look over. From the rubble emerges Rojo on her motorcycle. A missile launcher pops out of the front. | |
| Techadon Robot | Hold it. |
| The Techadon robot forms its hand into a laser cannon once more, but Rojo shoots a missile at it, blowing it up. | |
| Argit | Benny, my truck! |
| Ben | (cycling through transformations) Yeah. I'm on it. Let's see. Diamondhead, Four Arms. |
| Argit | I can't watch. |
| Argit turns away and crouches down. | |
| Argit | I just hope Benny's able to protect our considerable investments from that hoodlum. |
| Simian | Oh, yes, sir. Me too. |
| Ben | Humungousaur! |
| Ben slams his hand down on the Omnitrix, to no avail. He repeatedly taps it, and continues to have no success. Rojo fires another missile from her motorcycle. Ben ducks under it, but it blows up the roof of the Argistix Security truck, and leaves Ben stuck under part of said roof. Rojo gets off of her motorcycle and walks towards the vehicle. | |
| Rojo | It's been real fun, but I got a job to finish. |
| Ben | Oh, no, you don't. |
| Ben tries to get up from under the roofing, but finds himself stuck. | |
| Ben | Aw, come on! |
| Rojo looks inside the blown-open truck, but finds it empty. Simian looks inside as well, equally confused. | |
| Rojo | What? |
| Rojo looks up at Simian, infuriated. She growls. | |
| Simian | (hoots) What did I do? |
| Rojo snarls and walks away. Simian continues to look inside the Argistix Security truck, and Argit looks back at him. Rojo gets back on her motorcycle as Rook arrives on the scene. He lifts the roofing off of Ben, and he stands up. | |
| Ben | (sighs) Sorry, Argit. I thought we had her. |
| Rook | Yes, but it seems as if she is leaving empty-handed. |
| Argit | Thanks to you guys. Hey, Benny, I owe you one. |
| Simian | Yes, yes. We can't thank you enough. Next delivery is on the house. |
| Argit | Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's not get crazy. Half off. |
| Ben | Yeah. I'll pass. |
| Ben and Rook walk away. | |
| Back at the Artificial Tiffin ice cream stand, Ben and Rook are seated down and enjoying more of the snack. | |
| Ben | Mm. Mmm. Seriously, this is amazing. (eats) Mr. Smoothy's should make a Tiffin-flavored smoothie! |
| Rook | (licks spoon) I cannot believe it is not Tiffin. (sets down cup) |
| Ben | Mmm. |
| Rook | It is curious that there was nothing in the security truck. |
| Ben | Mm. |
| Rook | After all, Argit was making a large deal about keeping it safe. |
| Ben | He really did make a big deal about it. He must have left it empty for a reason. (eats) |
| Rook | I feel that we are "being played," as you say. |
| Ben | We just need to get one step ahead. We need to outthink him. (groans; clutches head) |
| Rook | Do not hurt yourself. |
| Ben | (straining) No! Brain freeze! |
| The pair of saddened Lewodan parents float by, catching Ben's attention. Simian looks down on Undertown from the window in Argit's office. Argit sits on his chair, next to a Techadon robot. | |
| Argit | Simian, my friend... |
| Simian scrambles over to Argit's desk. | |
| Argit | You seem, uh, a little antsy. |
| Simian rubs his two pairs of hands together. | |
| Simian | Antsy? |
| Argit | You know, freakin', buggin', weirded out. |
| Simian | No, no, no. Oh, no. I-I'm just, u-uh, perplexed. (scratches head) We are transporters of important items, are we not? |
| Argit | We are. |
| Simian | So, in that truck, there should have been an item of importance. |
| Argit gets off of his chair and walks over to the Techadon robot. | |
| Argit | Hmm. Yeah, that is...perplexing. |
| Argit retrieves a stepladder and climbs up it. | |
| Argit | As president of Argistix, I must keep my hands very clean, (opens Techadon robot's chest, revealing the cube) and this item here is less than squeaky. |
| Argit shows Simian the cube. | |
| Argit | I also don't recall asking you to transport it anywhere. |
| Argit tosses the cube between his hands. | |
| Simian | (hoots) Well, as your number two, I thought you might appreciate my taking some initiative. After all, you did hire me to deliver Argistix's more prohibitive items. (hoots) |
| Argit | I did, but when your initiative trips up my plans, there's gonna be trouble in paradise. |
| Simian | (hoots) I-I-I didn't mean any trouble. But with Artificial Tiffin all the rage in Bellwood right now (hoots) that thing's price has tripled. |
| Argit | While this is true, you are to deliver said items when and where I direct you to deliver them! |
| Simian | (hoots) Of course. |
| Argit | Not on your own initiative! |
| Simian | Noted. (softly hoots) |
| Argit | Good. I am now entrusting you to deliver this prohibitive item (places the cube in Techadon robot's chest) exactly where it's supposed to go. |
| Argit slides down the stepladder. | |
| Argit | No mistakes. No mishaps. (pushes away stepladder) No monkeying around. |
| Argit walks closer to Simian. | |
| Argit | Understood? |
| Simian walks through the streets of Undertown, pulling the Techadon robot along with a rope. | |
| Simian | "No monkeying around". (hoots) Ugh, condescending little rodent. Oh, I'll get this item exactly where it's supposed to go. |
| Simian and the Techadon robot turn down an alleyway. There, they find Rojo. | |
| Rojo | So, you got it this time, chimp? |
| Simian | The package is inside the Techadon. You'll need to break through his armor to get it. |
| Rojo | It's not going to attack me or anything, is it? |
| Simian | (snaps fingers) Hey, tin can, stand still for her (hoots) huh? |
| Techadon Robot | Compliance. |
| Rojo takes out a knife, but is stopped by Simian. | |
| Simian | One more thing. In order to make this look like an actual mugging, you'll also need to rough me up a bit. Just not in the- |
| Rojo slugs Simian in the stomach. | |
| Simian | Ooh! ...face. (grunts) |
| Argit watches the events unfold from his office window. | |
| Argit | Con men are so untrustworthy. |
| Argit takes out his cell phone and makes a call. Elliot picks up. | |
| Elliot | Plumber hotline. |
| Argit puts on a fake voice. | |
| Argit | Yeah, I'd like to make one of them anonymous tips about an illegal crime being perpetrated. |
| Back in the alleyway, Simian recoils from the punch on the ground, whimpering. Rojo, meanwhile, attempts to pry open the Techadon robot's chest. | |
| Rojo | (grunts) Quiet, you big baby. I didn't hit you that hard. |
| A siren suddenly blares, and the alleyway is bathed in a yellow light. Rojo looks behind the Techadon robot and sees Ben and Rook in the Proto-TRUK. Ben speaks into a Plumber Badge, projecting his voice. | |
| Ben | Put down the weapon, Rojo! |
| Rojo manages to break open the Techadon robot's chest, and she retrieves the cube. | |
| Rojo | Why should I? I got what I wanted. |
| A nearby dumpster reveals itself to be Rojo's motorcycle in disguise. She hops on it and drives off. | |
Act 3
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Rojo continues to make her escape. | |
| Rook | The alley is too narrow. |
| Ben | Unload the Tenn-Speed. |
| The underside of the Proto-TRUK opens up, and the two drop down, riding the Tenn-Speed. They pursue Rojo, who speeds through the Undertown marketplace, scaring citizens. | |
| Ben | (to Rook) Never bring a truck to a bike chase. |
| Rook | I admit, bringing your motorcycle was a wise choice. |
| Ben | Dang straight. Now let's get that box. |
| The Tenn-Speed zooms ahead, catching up to Rojo. In turn, she speeds up and goes down a more narrow way. However, Ben and Rook stay on her tail. She fires lasers from her motorcycle's front, breaking the supports on stands. They crumble behind her, blocking the Tenn-Speed's path. | |
| Ben | Aah! |
| Ben makes the Tenn-Speed jump over the rubble. They catch up and bash into Rojo's motorcycle, as they approach a cliff. Rook tries to reach for Rojo's motorcycle's storage. | |
| Rojo | Hands off, blue boy. |
| Rojo bats Rook's hand away and kicks the Tenn-Speed, sending it into a crate. She speeds ahead and drives up a ramp. She activates her motorcycle's booster and flies over the cliff, into a pipe. | |
| Rojo | So long, losers. |
| The Tenn-Speed arrives at the edge of the cliff. | |
| Rook | Perhaps we need the Proto-TRUK after all. |
| Ben | (activates Omnitrix) She's not the only one who can fly. Come on, Stinkfly. (selects transformation) Heck, I'll even take Jetray. |
| Ben slams down on the Omnitrix, transforming him into Upgrade. | |
| Upgrade | Upgrade? |
| Rook | Cannot fly. And the Tenn-Speed, while technologically advanced, also does not have the capability of flight. |
| Upgrade | Yeah, thanks for the update. Update nothing - how about an upgrade! |
| Upgrade does a U-turn and drives further from the cliff. He speeds ahead, and fuses with the Tenn-Speed, transforming it into a flying motorcycle like Rojo's. He and Rook soar over the cliff. | |
| Rook | I greatly approve of this. |
| Upgrade | Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! |
| The two fly into the same pipe that Rojo made an exit with. | |
| Rojo exits the pipe, now in a storm drain in Bellwood. The Upgrade quickly catches up, and flies above her. He forms a turret on the underside of the Tenn-Speed and fires at Rojo, who manages to avoid the shots. | |
| Rojo | Come on, Caballo. Your horsepower can outfly these yahoos. |
| Rojo once again activates the booster on Caballo and flies onto a street, nearly colliding with a car. Upgrade follows her as she continually endangers the traffic. They find themselves on a bridge, once again above Rojo. | |
| Upgrade | (to Rook) Ready? |
| Rook | Yes. (draws Proto-Tool) |
| Rook fires a grappling hook again, but Rojo sees it in one of her mirrors and catches it. | |
| Rojo | (laughs) Nice try, boys! |
| Rook | Give up, Rojo. |
| Upgrade sprouts his head out from the Tenn-Speed. | |
| Upgrade | Yeah, you bad guys never win, anyway. |
| Rojo | Oh, well see, I'm a bad girl! |
| Rojo flies next to a gasoline truck and attaches the grappling hook to it. She fires at one of the front tires, causing the vehicle to lose control and flip over. Rook and Upgrade are pulled along with it, careening into the ground. Rojo pulls over and whips out her laser rifle, and she fires it at the gasoline truck. The driver manages to get out just before it explodes. However, Upgrade and Rook fly out of the explosion, unharmed. | |
| Rook | Ben, ramming speed! |
| Upgrade once again forms a head, this time on the dashboard. | |
| Upgrade | Are you crazy? I am the bike. I'd really prefer not smashing into things. It actually does hurt! |
| Rook | Just do it! |
| Rojo | (laughs) Chicken! |
| Rojo flies directly towards Rook and Upgrade. | |
| Upgrade | (sprouts head) Rook?! |
| Rook | Steady. |
| The two motorcycles collide, sending them and their riders flying towards a nearby Mr. Smoothy outlet. The civilians run away as they land, with Rook grappling onto a street lamp to lessen his fall. The storage unit on Caballo falls off as Upgrade reverts back to Ben. He clambers out of the Tenn-Speed's seat. | |
| Ben | Ah! My leg! |
| Ben makes his way over to the storage unit, holding on to his injured leg. | |
| Ben | Ow. Ow, Ow. |
| An Argistix Security truck arrives, and Argit hops out of the passenger side. | |
| Argit | Benny, you are not easy to catch up to. |
| Simian joins Argit's side. | |
| Argit | Now, if you can just hand over that little- |
| Rojo | It's mine! |
| Rojo stands, holding her laser rifle. | |
| Ben | Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want this? (flaunts cube) |
| Rojo fires at Ben, but he ducks under the shot. He hides behind the Tenn-Speed. Rojo walks up to the motorcycle and finds Ben. He groans and hands her the cube, which she takes. | |
| Rojo | Thanks, kid. |
| Max | (projected voice) Hold it right there, Rojo. |
| Three Plumber Tanks pull up to the Mr. Smoothy outlet. Max steps out of one of them. | |
| Max | You are arrested for smuggling, assault, and all-around mayhem. |
| Several Plumbers wielding blasters surround Rojo. | |
| Rojo | Okay, wait, I, uh... |
| Simian tries to sneak away, but he is met by Morty and another Plumber. | |
| Max | Where do you think you're going, Simian? |
| Simian | Back to Argistix Security, of course - my place of very lawful employment. |
| Max | Interesting. 'Cause according to a very strange anonymous tip, we know that you're the brains behind a secret smuggling ring running out of Argistix Security. |
| Argit | (gasps) What? There was a secret smuggling ring at my place of business? Simian, how could you? A-a-and after I gave you a chance at redemtion! |
| Argit takes Simian aside. | |
| Simian | But-but- |
| Argit | (to the Plumbers) Could you give us minute, fellas? |
| Argit and Simian walk further away. | |
| Simian | So this was all a setup? I was going to be a patsy for your smuggling ring all along? |
| Argit | Hey, hey, hey, hey, ixnay on the smuggling-ay. But, yes, I set you up. I wouldn't have if you had played by my rules. I hired you because I knew you were no good. And while I love a good nogoodnik, a con should never try and con another con. |
| Simian | Don't think you're going to get away with this, Argit. I'm going to tell them. |
| Argit sticks one of his quills in Simian's neck. | |
| Simian | Ooh! |
| Simian falls to the ground. | |
| Argit | That's fine. Take a rest. (to the Plumbers) He's all yours, boys. |
| Nearby, Rojo sits in a Plumber Tank, handcuffed. Ben takes the cube from Molly Gunther. | |
| Ben | I'll take that. |
| Ben shuffles over to Argit and Max. | |
| Ben | Property of Argistix Security. |
| Ben hands the cube off to Argit. | |
| Argit | Thanks, Benno. |
| Ben | The least I could do for a fellow hero. Though if I was dealing with someone as shady as Simian, I have done something really smooth and mixed up the boxes, giving him something artificial instead. |
| Argit | Did you knock a few of your marbles loose in that last fight there, kid? Maybe you should go get some rest. |
| Ben | Yeah, maybe you're right. |
| Ben rustles Argit's quills. Rook walks up to Ben, holding smoothies. | |
| Rook | Care for an "ar-Tiffin-cially" Tiffin-flavored Mr. Smoothy smoothie? |
| Ben | Don't mind if I do. |
| Ben takes one of the smoothies, and they drink them. Argit starts walking away. | |
| Ben | Oh, one last thing, Argit. What's in the box? |
| Argit | Sorry, Benny, no can tell. One thing we take very seriously at Argistix Security is client confidentiality. |
| Ben | Eh, fair enough. And I got to say, I really respect your ethics, legitimate businessman Argit. |
| Ben and Rook walk away. | |
| Later, Argit skulks through Undertown, cube in hand. Two Techadon Robots follow him into an alleyway. There, they find Jarret. | |
| Jarret | Hand it over. |
| Argit | I got to tell you, with the popularity of this product here in Bellwood, this item was not easily procured. |
| Jarret takes the cube. He empties it, finding it to be filled with cans of Artificial Tiffin. | |
| Argit | I accept all universal forms of payment. |
| Jarret shows Argit one of the cans. | |
| Jarret | Is this a joke? |
| Jarret tosses the can at Argit's head, but he ducks under it. | |
| Argit | I had it, I swear! I've been set up! I-I-I-I don't understand! Hmm. |
| Argit recalls the moments prior. | |
| Argit watches Rojo fire at Ben. | |
| Ben (VO) | Though if I was dealing with someone as shady as Simian, I have done something really smooth and mixed up the boxes... giving him something artificial instead. |
| Ben opens up a hatch on the Tenn-Speed and retrieves an identical cube. He opens it and sees the cans of Artificial Tiffin. He closes the box. | |
| In the present. | |
| Argit looks back at the can in shock. | |
| Ben (VO) | ...giving him something artificial instead. |
| Argit | Well played, Benny. (to Techadon Robots) Boys! |
| The Techadon Robots convert their hands into laser cannons as Jarret readies a punch. | |
| Elsewhere in Undertown, an explosion occurs. Ben and Rook ignore it, as the former drags his leg along. They meet up with Patelliday and the Lewodan parents. Ben takes the cube out of his pants' pocket and hands it to the male Lewodan. | |
| Ben | Here you go, courtesy of Argistix Securities. |
| The Lewodan opens the cube, freeing the Tiffin, to their delight. The female Lewodan hugs it. | |
| Female Lewodan | Oh, my dear child. Oh, thank you Ben Tennyson. Thank you. |
| The Tiffin flies around Ben and Rook, before returning to its parents. | |
