Prologue

Speaker Dialogue
Ben's room, night: While Ben watches, Gwen rummages through Ben's closet, pulling out a dirty sock.
Gwen Ugh! (throws away sock)
Ben Tell me about this message already, Gwen. I've got homework.
Gwen Let's just wait for Kevin, then I don't have to tell it twice.
Ben Was it an e-mail? Just let me read it.
Gwen A telepathic SOS, sent through my energy field. Oh look! (pulls out a Sumo Slammers playset) A dollhouse!
Ben (runs to Gwen) It's not a dollhouse! It's a Sumo Slammers Battle Ring!
Gwen With dolls in it.
Ben Action figures! They're not dolls, they're collectibles.
Gwen (stands up) They look like dolls to– Aah!
Gwen drops the playset, breaking it as she grabs her head as her eyes start glowing pink.
Ben You okay?
Gwen Something coming in.
Gwen receives another message, projected as a circle in the air. Through the static, Helen appears in the message.
Helen Can you hear me, Gwen? Did you find Ben? We need help!
Ben Helen?!
Kevin enters the room.
Kevin Holograms? It's never like I come over and you're just playing video games or something.
Helen I can't hear you...
Ben Helen! I'm right here!
Helen You guys, if you're getting this message, it's important. Please help up
Gwen Hard to focus... Can't keep connection.
Helen There is terrible danger! We need help desperately! It's a matter of life and death! Please!
Gwen (groan)
The image dissipates as Gwen collapses, only to be caught be Kevin.
Kevin You okay?
Gwen Yeah. Anyway, I'm doing better than those Plumber Kids.
Kevin What did they expect going into the Null Void? Not like we didn't warn 'em.
Gwen We have to go get them out.
Kevin You're not going in there! I've been there! It's–
Gwen I can handle it!
Ben No you can't. There's too much riding on us being here.
Gwen You heard her! They need help!
Ben I know. That's why I'm going alone.
Gwen and Kevin are shocked.
Theme Plays

Act 1

Speaker Dialogue
Inside Kevin's Garage, Ben is putting on a jetpack.
Ben Last time I went into the Null Void, I didn't need all this junk.
Kevin Last time you had a motorhome full of cool state-of-the-art Plumber gear.
Ben Which you sold.
Gwen The point is, it’s going to be tricky to get you out. Even if I’m able to temporarily rip a doorway into the Null Void, this cable’s the only thing connecting you to–
Kevin It's not a cable. The Plumber Snake is an unbreakable, pandimensional retrieval system worth mucho dinero, which you are very lucky I have.
Ben (as Gwen connects the harness to the jetpack) Aw, you'd miss me.
Kevin I have better ways to spend my time than going to your funeral.
Gwen's eyes glow pink as she creates a portal into the Null Void.
Gwen I retraced the energy path from Helen’s message. Hopefully, it’ll lead you to her location, but... I don’t know how long I can keep this open.
Ben fires up the jetpack as he flies into the Null Void.
In the Null Void, Ben flies through the expansive red void.
Ben 'Pocket dimension'. That's a big pocket.
Ben turns to see Gwen's portal closing behind him. Suddenly he sees an alien being dragged through the sky by a Null Guardian.
Alien Serf Aaahh! Aaaahh! Helpers! Assist me! Helpers!
Ben I'm coming!
Ben flies over to help with his jetpack. He briefly stops to wrap his cable around a floating rock, which he flings at and hits the Null Guardian, freeing the alien.
Null Guardian (roars at Ben)
The Null Guardian repeatedly fires lasers from its mouth, which Ben narrowly dodges with his jetpack. The beast chases Ben across the void.
Ben This would be a lot easier without the leash!
Ben spots a narrow gap between two large floating rocks.
Ben (straining) Let's see... how smart you are...
Ben flies through the gap, with the Null Guardian following. Unfortunately for the beast, Ben uses his cable to clothesline the Null Guardian, sending it hurdling into another rock and knocking it out. Ben flies over to the Alien Serf.
Ben You okay?
Alien Serf I knew it! I knew once news of my capture had spread, the Wrench would never let me fall into the hands of D'Void! We must flee! He'll be back... and not alone!
Ben Uh, yeah. Okay.
Ben takes the Alien Serf's hand and flies off.
Later, Ben and the serf are sitting by a campfire.
Alien Serf If you know the Wrench, he must be warned! This entire dimension is becoming destabilized.
Ben Slow down. Who is 'the Wrench', anyway? What are 'the Helpers'?
Alien Serf You're not a Helper? But even so, how could you have not heard of the Wrench, the only person who dares defy D'Void and his Null Guardians?
Ben Back up and start again. I don't understand anything–
The two are interrupted by lasers coming from above, fired by...
Alien Serf Null Guardians! They found us!
As the Null Guardians circle around them, Ben reaches for his Omnitrix, only to be interrupted by a familiar voice.
Manny (offscreen) Yeee-haaaaaaa!
While riding a serpent-like alien, Manny (now with a prosthetic hand) fires at the Null Guardians with his laser pistols.
Alien Serf Ah! The Helpers!
The Null Guardians try to fire their lasers, but are interrupted and attacked and driven off by a foe too fast to be seen.
Helen Eat my dust, doggies! (to Ben & Alien Serf) C'mon, we don't have much– BEN! I knew you'd come!
Manny What are you doing here?
Helen I called him, we need him, Manny.
Ben Don't worry, I can get you back home. Just take my hands and my friends'll pull us–
Helen No, Ben. You don't understand.
Null Guardians (roars)
Manny It's D'Void.
Alien Serf The Null King is upon us! All is lost!
Manny Not yet, old man!
Manny grabs the Alien Serf and puts him on his serpent-ride.
Manny Giddy up! (smacks Alien Serpent's back) Ya! Ya!
The Alien Serpent flies off, taking the Alien Serf to safety.
Helen Ben, you need to go, too. You’re too valuable to fall into D'Void's hands. We’ll act as decoys and lead him away.
Ben What? I'm here! I can help you beat this guy!
Manny Nobody can beat D'Void. Find the Wrench. Help him.
Helen & Manny race offscreen.
Ben Oh, fine. I'll just sit this one out, then. Yeah, not too likely.
Ben rockets after them with his jetpack, only to come to a halt when his cable tauts. As Ben pulls on the cable, Manny fires at the Null Guardians while in the air thanks to the low gravity of the Null Void, while Helen leaps across floating rocks to evade lasers and attack Guardians. Behind Manny, a swarm of Null Guardians unfurl to reveal...
D'Void Who dares defy D'Void?
Manny fires his laser pistols at D'Void, which does nothing to the tyrant. Ben pauses his tugging to look at D'Void, realizing that D'Void is actually a shirtless, caped, muscular...
Ben Dr. Animo?
A Null Guardian rises from behind Manny and smacks the half-human into D'Void, who grabs him by the throat.
D'Void What have we here? One of those annoying little Helpers?
Helen Manny! No!
Helen rushes at D'Void, who grabs Helen's throat with his other hand.
D'Void There's no help for you, Helpers. And no hope at all.
Ben continues pulling at his cable, before glancing at his jetpack.
Back at Kevin's Garage, Gwen and Kevin are still staring at the portal when the cable suddenly goes slack.
Gwen What happened?
Kevin I dunno. Reel him in.
Kevin pulls a lever, reversing the winch and pulling the cable back.
Gwen Come on, hurry.
Kevin This is as fast as it goes.
To their horror, the only thing that comes out of the portal is the cable, ripped off of Ben.

Act 2

Speaker Dialogue
Back in the Null Void, D'Void is still holding Helen & Manny by the neck with Null Guardians surrounding them.
D'Void Now, tell me, Helper, where can I find your leader?
Manny Doesn't matter what you do to us, D'Void. We'll never betray The Wrench.
D'Void (to Helen) Perhaps you'll feel differently, after watching my pets play tug of war with your friend.
Helen No!
D'Void throws Manny away, with a pack of Null Guardians flying over to swarm him. Before the monsters can reach him, they are all electrocuted and fly away, revealing Ben, now transformed into Brainstorm, carrying Manny.
D'Void Who dares?!
Brainstorm That isn't how to tell a joke, miscreant. First I say "Knock knock" they you say, "Who dares."
D'Void You would mock D'Void?
Brainstorm (puts Manny down) D'Void, aka Dr. Animo? I most certainly would mock you. I'm doing so right now, albeit subtly.
Brainstorm leaps over to D'Void and grabs him by the wrists, but D'Void is unphased and soon pushes back against Brainstorm.
D'Void You know my name, Helper? How?
Brainstorm Although I’m generally much too modest to boast, on rare occasions I do come out of my shell...
Brainstorm opens his shell and shocks D'Void.
D'Void (screams)
D'Void lets go of Helen, who lands on a rock.
Brainstorm It is difficult to believe. That electroencephalactic mind blast should have been more than sufficient to render him insensate.
Helen (panting) Believe it. Now let's go!
Helen grabs Brainstorm & Manny and darts away, leaving D'Void alone.
D'Void So, a Helper knows my name. But not for long...
On a dirt farm in the Null Void, two alien farmers look on as a Null Guardian takes a palette of produce while another Null Guardian watches. While one of the farmers' back is turned, the other Null Guardian take the other and flies away.
Null Void Farmer Not my son! I’ve given you everything you’ve asked for! Don’t take my son! Please!
As the Null Guardians fly away, the farmer falls to his knees crying. Inside the farmer's home, Ben, Helen, and Manny watch on.
Ben Come on, we've got to help him.
Manny No.
Manny grabs Ben's arm, revealing that his lower left hand has been replaced by a claw-like prosthetic.
Ben What happened to your...
Manny D'Void is too strong to fight. (walks inside)
Ben (to Helen) What's going on here?
They plus the farmer walk inside, the farmer sitting by a fire.
Helen Thanks for hiding us. I'm... I'm so sorry about your son.
Null Void Farmer D'Void takes everything. Our only hope is The Wrench. And you Helpers.
Ben Okay, who's The Wrench? Come to think of it, who are you? I thought the Null Void was a prison.
Null Void Farmer No, not a prison. A penal colony...
Through a blue tear in the sky, several aliens are floating in the Null Void.
Null Void Farmer (VO) Long ago, the Galvan created this pocket dimension so they could banish their criminals from the universe itself.
An alien couple holding their infant child stare off into the Void.
Null Void Farmer To some, it was a chance to start again.
Settlers identical to the farmer till the asteroid they're on.
Null Void Farmer My ancestors have tilled these asteroids since the beginning.
Helen (VO) Over time, other worlds discovered the Null Void and started dumping their criminals here as well.
A small gang of aliens laugh while above the farmers, only to get taken by a pack of Null Guardians.
Manny (VO) But the Galvan had foreseen that problem and created the Null Guardians.
Null Void Farmer It wasn't an easy life, but it was bearable. Until... he came.
D'Void floats in the void as Null Guardians surrounding him.
Null Void Farmer D'Void somehow gained control over the Null Guardians. Now he reigns supreme...
Many Null Void Settlers march into an asteroid cave, where minecarts full of yellow crystals move opposite them.
Null Void Farmer ...conscripting anyone, everyone to dig for Kormite in his accursed mines.
Ben I've tangled with "D'Void" before. On my world he calls himself Dr. Animo and he has the power to control animals. That's how he's controlling the Null Guardians.
Manny You tangled with D'Void? How did you survive?
Ben Not just survive, I won. This 'invulnerability' and the whole 'crazy strong' thing? All new.
Manny Okay, so you take us back to Earth, we load up on equipment, find some reinforcements, and shut down D'Void once and for all!
Ben That's not an option. I lost my tether. There's no way to get my team here to help and I'm stuck here, just like you.
Manny Great! Some savior you brought us, Helen. Can't even save himself.
Helen speeds over between Ben & Manny.
Helen Settle down, Manny. He's fought D'Void before. Maybe he can help us. Anyway, that's not for us to decide.
Manny (growls)
Later, on a fog-covered planetoid connected to another via a natural, narrow bridge.
Ben This is where you live?
Manny This is where he lives. We live... wherever.
Pierce (offscreen) Helen! (onscreen) What have you done?!
Helen's brother Pierce, revealed to be alive after all, floats in the air on his jetpack.
Pierce You brought an outsider here? Nobody gets to see The Wrench! Nobody!
Helen He's a friend, Pierce. I told you, he's the whole reason we came to find you here.
Pierce Maybe. Or maybe he's a shapeshifter showing you what you want to see.
Ben Look, if you want to take me to see your boss, fine. If not, I'll find him myself.
Pierce There's only one way to get to The Wrench. Across here... (lands) ...and through me.
Ben Fine by me.
Ben walks forward and takes off his jetpack. Pierce likewise removes his.
Ben Some fight. You're a walking pincushion and I'm empty-handed.
Pierce grows out one of his quills and breaks it off, tossing it to Ben.
Pierce Be my guest.
Ben One spike against three-hundred. You're a real sport, Pierce.
Pierce And you're dead meat, spy.
Pierce extends his arm-spines and rushes at Ben, who uses his spine to guard. After dodging another attack, Ben sweeps Pierce with his spine, knocking him onto the ground. Pierce tries to get up, only for his arm-quills to be stuck in the ground. Ben charges, but Pierce snaps the makeshift staff in half with his legs, before breaking off the stuck quills and recovering. Ben looks at his broken staff.
Ben Oh, great.
Pierce rushes over and clashes against Ben, who uses the broken quill as eckrima sticks. One of Pierce's blows hits Ben's wrist, causing him to drop a quill piece into the void.
Ben That was my video game hand!
Ben dodges Pierce's strike by sliding under him, but before he can attack, Pierce extends his back-quills that cause Ben to fall back and trip over the ledge. Helen & Manny are shocked, only to see that Ben is holding onto the ledge and dangling over the void, holding his remaining spine behind his back.
Pierce There's more where that came from.
Ben lets go of his weapon, sending it into the void.
Ben Okay, you win.
Pierce pulls Ben back onto his feet.
Pierce You didn't do too bad. At least we know your human. One of D'Void's spies would've mopped the floor with me in a fair fight.
Ben Yeah.
Manny (pointing his gun at Ben) But he wouldn't have lasted long after. (holsters gun)
Pierce Come on. I'll take you to The Wrench.
At The Wrench's Hovel, Pierce holds opens the curtain door.
Pierce (quietly) Uh, don't eat anything he offers you.
Ben enters, and after passing by some high-tech equipment, sees a figure in a brown cloak sitting by a fire with his back towards Ben.
Ben Uh, Mr. Wrench? I don't mean to get in the middle of your war, but this whole dimension is destabilizing and–
The Wrench Why don't you tell me about it over a bowl of my famous Centipede Gumbo?
The Wrench removes his hood, revealing that he's actually Grandpa Max.
Ben (gasps)

Act 3

Speaker Dialogue
Ben and Max are hugging as Pierce walks in.
Ben & Max (laughs)
Ben So, you gonna make me ask?
Max Well, when I detonated that Null Void grenade, it didn't blast me to Kingdom Come, it blasted me here. I meant to come back home, but once I saw how badly the folks here were being oppressed–
Ben You took it upon yourself to eighty-six Dr. Animo's reign once and for all.
Max Yeah, or at least throw a monkey wrench into the machinery.
Ben Hence, "The Wrench." And the Helpers... Plumbers' Helpers. I just got it.
Max Pierce here helped me round up everyone willing to fight D'Void. But enough about me. What are you doing here? How did you get here? And how on Earth did Pierce beat you?
Ben I kinda let him win.
Pierce (flexes face-quills) You what?
Ben I figured it was the only way you would lead me to The Wrench... er, Grandpa.
Pierce relaxes his quills.
Ben What I've learned is that the Null Void is actually disintegrating.
Max (turns to the fire) Ah, then it's happening faster than I thought. Pierce, gather your team.
Later, the Helpers have fully assembled in Max's Hovel. In addition to the three we already know, there's a [Havoc Beast]], a Vulpimancer, and a Wigzellian Orc Beast. Max shows them a glowing yellow rock.
Max This is Kormite.
Manny We know that. Half the Null Voiders are slaving away in D'Voids mine, digging the stuff up.
Max What you don't know is why.
Max turns on a hologram of D'Void's Citadel, which is topped with a drill drilling into a wormhole.
Pierce D'Void burns the Kormite in this furnace which feeds his Dimensional Bore, which is literally ripping a hole in the barrier between the two dimensions.
Helen D'Void wants to escape and bring his army of Null Guardians with him to conquer the Earth.
Pierce Guerilla tactics are no longer an option. We have to mount an all out attack on his Citadel.
Ben Why fight out way in when we can hitch a ride?
At the Null Void Farmer's farm, two Null Guardians take away a cart full of bags. As the Null Guardians leave for the Citadel, the farmer smiles.
At D'Void's Citadel, Null Voiders line up to dump bowls full of Kormite into D'Void's fiery furnace pit while a flock of Null Guardians watch from above. The Null Guardian from before drops off the cart.
Max (offscreen) Now!
The Helpers jump out of the cart, running straight towards the Null Guardians. Ben activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Chromastone.
Chromastone Chromastone!
Chromastone fires lasers from his crystals at the Null Guardians, blasting them away. Manny meanwhile punches a Null Guardian in the face as Helen leaps to ricochet off several Null Guardians.
Helen Hyaah!
The Orc Beast breathes fire at a Null Guardian. While several Null Void settlers run away, the Vulpimancer leaps on a Null Guardian and brings it down to the ground. Pierce jumps off an unconscious Null Guardian only to get swarmed by a flock of them. The flock is repelled by Pierce shooting out his quills all around him. Just as the Havoc Beast breathes fire on a Null Guardian, Grandpa Max is chased by another. Max quickly uses his staff to leap onto the Null Guardian's back and strikes it down with his staff. Max lands right next to Chromastone, still firing lasers.
Max Ben, clear us a path to the Bore. Pierce, you're with me. We're taking that thing out!
Chromastone fires his lasers at the Null Guardians, blasting them away for Max and Pierce to run to the furnace. Chromastone quickly catches up.
Max Nice work, Ben!
Just as Max says that, a shadow looms over the three of them.
Chromastone It's not over.
It's D'Void, emerging from his Citadel and walking down the steps. Just then, a pack of Null Guardians emerge from the Citadel. Chromastone fires lasers at D'Void, only for D'Void to block them with his hands, leaving him unharmed. The Omnitrix times out and reverts Chromastone back into Ben, who ducks under an incoming Null Guardian.
D'Void Max Tennyson. So you're the mysterious Wrench! And Young Ben, always a pleasure to try and end your miserable interfering life.
Ben Are you still a doctor, Animo?
D'Void What?
Ben (activates Omnitrix) 'Cause it hurts when I do this!
Ben transforms into Humungousaur, who immediately grows.
Humungousaur Humungousaur!
Humungousaur slams his fist onto D'Void, knocking him through the upper ledge and onto the floor.
Humungousaur See? I told you it hurts.
D'Void Give me a moment... (stands up) ...and I'll show you real pain.
Humungousaur Thanks anyway, I'll pass.
Humungousaur stomps on D'Void, only for the tyrant to throw Humungousaur to the far wall.
D'Void (laughs) It’s a shame to have to end this. But, I’ve almost drilled through the dimensional wall and I’ve a whole planet to conquer.
Humungousaur gets up, and changes into Brainstorm.
Brainstorm Brainstorm! Here's a display of electro-cranial power that I know you’ll get a charge out of...
Brainstorm opens his shell and fires electricity at D'Void, but it is completely ineffective.
D'Void (laughs)
D'Void walks to Brainstorm and kicks him across the room. Brainstorm reverts back into Ben. Grandpa Max rushes over to Ben, who sits up.
Max Ben, try Swampfire's methane attack!
Ben It's no use, grandpa. He's getting stronger. When I fought him outside the Citadel, Brainstorm scrambled his eggs, but here...
As D'Void approaches, blue energy draws itself from the ground and into D'Void.
Ben (realizing) That's it! (stands up and runs offscreen)
Max What are you doing?
D'Void (marches to Max) Ben Tennyson fleeing before me. The Wrench at my mercy. And then a world to conquer.
Ben (offscreen) Sounds like a busy day, (onscreen) I hope you had a big breakfast.
Ben is standing on the edge of the furnace pit.
D'Void What?
Max Ben, get away from there.
Ben This furnace. It doesn’t just power the drill, it powers him. That’s why he’s so much stronger here in his fortress... and that’s why it has to go.
Ben stretches his arms out and falls backwards into the pit.
Max NOOOOOOO!!
As Ben falls, he activates the Omnitrix and turns into Big Chill.
Big Chill Big Chill! Let's see just how cold I can make it.
Big Chill uses his frost breath as he falls. Max runs to the edge of the pit.
Max Ben!
D'Void (approaches from behind) You'll join him soon enough.
Max turns around and readies his staff. Suddenly, a cloud of cold air reaches the top of the pit.
D'Void What?
The Dimensional Bore's core turns to ice as a layer of frost covers the entire Citadel, stopping the drill on top and making it snow.
D'Void Impossible!
The courtyard starts to crack. The Null Guardians fly off into the sky. Part of the Bore's support breaks off and falls to the ground as Animo fruitlessly chases the Null Guardians.
Dr. Animo No! NOOOOO!!
Animo rushes at Grandpa Max, only to be knocked out by the Plumber in only two punches. Max turns around to see a tower of ice growing from the pit with Big Chill standing at the peak. Big Chill reverts back to Ben.
Ben Nice work.
Max I did have a big breakfast.
Ben slides down to Grandpa Max beside Helen, Manny, and Pierce cheering their victory. The Orc Beast picks up the unconscious Animo.
Max Pierce, take charge of D'Void. (Pierce walks offscreen) Helen, Manny, make sure everyone is out of those mines. And keep a lookout for Guardians. We’ve still got a lot of work to–
Suddenly, a pink light emits from above them. They turn to see Gwen opening a portal back to Earth.
Gwen Ben! Is that you?
Ben Gwen! Check out what I found!
Max Hi, pumpkin.
Gwen Grandpa!
Gwen nearly loses her grip and closes the portal, but manages to keep it open.
Gwen I can barely keep this doorway open. You’ve got to hurry.
Ben You heard her, grandpa. Get the Helpers, time to go.
Max I can't go, Ben. We have to finish things here. Get those Guardians working like they’re supposed to. Make sure everyone’s safe.
Ben Then I'll stay too. I can help.
Max The Earth needs you to protect it, Ben.
Ben Then help me! I need you.
Max Not anymore Ben. You proved that today.
Ben I can't lose you again.
Max Never happen. We’ll find our way back when our work is done here. And besides... I’m always with you.
Ben and Max share a hug.
Gwen (reaches out hand) Ben, hurry!
Ben takes her hand but is too heavy. Kevin appears in the portal and grabs Ben's arm.
Kevin Time to come home, Ben.
Gwen and Kevin pull Ben through the portal and back home, the rip closing behind him. Max smiles proudly.
