Ben 10,010/Transcript

(In the future, we see the Statue of Liberty. A purple explosion occurs behind it. We see a swarm of purple aliens invading a wrecked New York City. Armed soldiers blasted lasers at the swarm with no effect. A large helicopter fires a powerful blue laser at the swarm, but the swarm dodged it easily. The purple swarm's eyes lit up as they reshape into a large X and fired a pink laser at the helicopter, destroying it.)
(In France, the aliens destroyed the Eiffel Tower with their laser vision. In Las Vegas, a group of the aliens formed into a large fist and slammed into a statue. We then transition into a news broadcast hosted by Chet and Karen.)
Karen: Breaking news -- Las Vegas is now under attack, as well. The hive-like alien species has leveled The Strip. Their demands, if any, are unknown at this time. What we do know is they are proving to be unstoppable, invading nations worldwide with no end in sight. 
Chet: Live coverage continues as we wait to hear from the President of the United States herself.
(At the White House, there is a board room meeting between a Captain and the President, with many body guards present as well.)
Captain: We can't stay here! We must evacuate, Madam President!
President: Run? No. We'll wait to hear from the General.
Captain: The General? He's kookier than a coconut! I don't see why you believe a word he says.
(A red portal appears behind the Captain, a figure comes out of it and places his hand on the Captain's shoulder. It is revealed to be Hex)
Captain: I don't e-- Uh...
Hex: Then I suggest you leave.
(The bodyguards and the Captain ran out of the room, leaving Hex and the President)
President: General Hex, how bad is it?
Hex: Las Vegas is no more. Who knows how much longer we have until this Xerge reach us here in Bellwood? The intruders seem to act as one, it would be wise to retreat. 
President: I can't sit back and let the country fail. Never have, never will. 
Hex: If you'd allow me to secure an alien of our own to counter them...
President: We need you here.
Hex: I am the only one who can bring the champion here quickly. 
(The President stands up from her chair. It's revealed that she is Gwen.)
President Gwen: Fine, do it. And tell Max to ready my battle suit.
Hex: With pleasure, Madam President.
(Hex salutes as he teleports away in his portal)
(Gwen sits back down in her chair, stressed. She sighs as she brings up a digital picture of her, Ben and Max during their Summer road trip.)
President Gwen: If only it was still that summer.
(Gwen walks out of the meeting room and sees Secretary Zombozo)
Zombozo: Your Highness.
President Gwen: Ugh, knock it off, Zombozo. You're my press secretary. No time for jokes. Walk and talk.
(Gwen and Zombozo walks down the hallway, Zombozo reads his notes)
Zombozo: I have the press waiting with bated breath. I also wanted to run something by you.
President Gwen: No, you're not hypnotizing the entire country so you can take over.
Zombozo: W-What?! I wouldn't dream of it!
President Gwen: Cut the shenanigans and commit to the common good or there won't be a country to hypnotize. If you can't get that through your wig, it's back to jail.
(Gwen enters the press room, with multiple flickers from cameras pointed at her)
Zombozo: This is my real hair, you know. [Mutters angrily]
On the press stage, Zombozo taps the microphone, causing microphone feedback.)
Zombozo: Ladies and gentlemen, in this corner...
(Gwen stares at Zombozo angrily, telling him to take this seriously)
Zombozo: ...It's, uh-- Ugh! Uh, sorry. Uh, President Gwendolyn Tennyson.
President Gwen: Let me get right to the point. We have a planet to save. Today, we were attacked by an alien invader called the Xerge, but I assure you we will not just stand by. We will fight aliens with aliens, and we will win.
Reporter: Madam President, does that mean you're finally reconnecting with your long lost cousin?
President Gwen: We need heroes now more than ever -- real heroes. Firefighters, officers, soldiers, heroes who don't run away when the going gets rough. 
(The building rumbles, the press murmurs)
Zombozo and Gwen, simultaneously: They're here.
(Gwen goes down an elevator and meets up with Sergeant Smythe and A.I. Max, who are preparing the mech suit)
President Gwen: I'm sorry, Grandpa. I thought we had more time. 
(The building shakes again, Max tries to catch Gwen as she falls, but she phases right through him, as he is just a hologram)
A.I. Max: Great guacamole! They must be right on top of us.
President Gwen: Did you work out all the kinks, Sergeant Smythe?
Sergeant Smythe: The Presidential mech suit should be operationally optimized. 
President Gwen: "Should be"? I'm about to go face a trillion super-powered aliens.
(Gwen enters the mech suit)
Sergeant Smythe: Cut me some slack! I've only recently degraded myself to dabble in modern technology! [Shudders]
(A.I. Max teleports next to Sergeant Smythe)
A.I. Max: Gwen, you have soldiers, jets, ships all fighting the Xerge. The country needs you here making the hard decisions in the safety of this bunker.
President Gwen: I've done everything I could from behind the desk. It didn't work. I have to go at this face-to-face. No stalling now.
A.I. Max: Yes, definitely, no stalling. But before you go save the world, how about you and I go grab a bite to eat, huh? I heard of this amazing new pupusa place that hasn't gotten blown up yet, tha--
President Gwen: You haven't eaten since we uploaded your consciousness. But there's no time. I have a battle to fight, a country to lead.
A.I. Max: Spoken like a true Tennyson.
(A.I. Max projects himself into Gwen's suit at a miniature size)
A.I. Max: Let me come with you, I can be your eyes and ears.
President Gwen: I need you to monitor this backup White House. And Grandpa, if things go south, I'll give you the order and you know what to do.
A.I. Max: Don't talk like that. You got this. I believe in you.
(A portal opens, General Hex comes out)
Hex: Madam President, Bellwood is overrun!
President Gwen: Complete your mission. I'll hold off the aliens until you get backup!
Hex, to Sergeant Smythe: Is Project Bygone ready?
Sergeant Smythe: Is the dirigible the greatest mode of transportation?
President Gwen: Bygone? 
(Sergeant Smythe and Hex froze up in shock)
I cancelled that project, too risky! Time travel is full of holes. I'll save the world the old-fashioned way -- with metal fists!
(Gwen in her mech suit runs out to battle)
Sergeant Smythe: So presidential. But that suit really needs more tentacles.
(Hex looks at him weirdly)
Sergeant Smythe: I'm sorry, it does.
(Gwen walks out of the White House and sees a couple of fighter jets firing missiles at a Xerge space ship. The ship put up a forcefield which made the missiles useless.)
President Gwen: POTUS to airborne squadrons! Retreat and standby for orders. I'll take it from here.
(The fighter jets retreat. The space ship disassembled into a horde of Xerge heading down to Gwen)
President Gwen: Come on, Gwen, you've dealt with aliens your whole life. You can do this. Xerge! This attack on our planet must stop. What do you want?
Xerge: We are Xerge.
President Gwen: I know that part. Any chance your the kind of Xerge willing to sit down and talk?
(The Xerge combined into a large humanoid form)
President Gwen: I'll take that as a no.
(The Xerge construct and Gwen fights. Gwen manages to lift the body and smash it to the ground, but they quickly reformed. Five more Xerge humanoids arrived)
President Gwen: Alright then. It's Hero Time.
(Gwen pulls out a lamp post and smashes the Xerge as she finds an alley way to hide. The Xerge constructs try to find her. Gwen contacts Hex with the communicator on the mech's left arm)
President Gwen: Hex, the Xerge aren't playing nice! I could sure use that backup.
Hex: Our alien ally is being... [Struggling grunt] ...less than cooperative.
President Gwen: [Sighs] Tell him... Gwen needs him.
(Gwen gasps as she dodges an incoming punch by the Xerge. She walks deeper into the alley way and then scaled up the building onto the roof. The Xerge followed her. Gwen runs but stops herself as she saw two Xerge humanoids climbing up the other side of the building)
(Gwen runs to the middle and is getting surrounded by the Xerge. A red portal opens in the sky, with Hex struggling to come out)
Hex: The electromagnetics of the Xerge mothership must be affecting my spells. Aah!
(Hex falls out of his portal and hits the ground. A large, red dinosaur alien falls out of the portal and lands on Hex. Hex gets out from beneath him. The alien is actually Kevin of the future. He groans in annoyance)
Humungoraptor: What gives, man? I was kickin' to my tunes and you just attacked me! Huh? Ugh! You losers? This is not the time to mess with me!
(Humungoraptor and the Xerge make battle. Gwen lifts Hex and runs away with him)
President Gwen: I can't believe you got him here.
Hex: Your name still holds much magic over him. I think he's showing off.
(Humungoraptor, now on the ground with a Xerge humanoid, fights)
President Gwen: Good.
(Gwen throws Hex into an alley, he floats above the ground)
President Gwen: We got it from here, General. Start evacuating the city.
Hex: Are you sure you won't be joining the evacuation, Madam President?
President Gwen: Are you kidding? I'm just getting into my groove here.
Hex: Understood.
(Hex salutes as he teleports away. Gwen goes back into action. Humungoraptor is captive in mid-air by a Xerge construct, preparing to attack him. Gwen fired a laser at the humanoid, releasing Kevin)
Humungoraptor: Did you miss me, Gwennifer?
President Gwen: That's President Gwennifer to you.
(Two Xerge humanoids form behind Gwen. Humungoraptor jumps into one of them while Gwen blasts the other)
President Gwen: Don't know why you ever left.
Humungoraptor: Public service really isn't my jam.
(Humungorapotor destroys a couple of Xerge humanoids with his energy shockwaves from his tail. Gwen destroys a couple more with her laser blasts. The broken Xerge constructs reform back into their humanoid forms)
Humungorapotor: There's too many! They just keep comin'!
Gwen grabs Humungoraptor's tail and swings him around)
President Gwen: Just follow my lead!
(She throws Humungoraptor into the air towards the Xerge's direction)
Humungoraptor: Oh, I get it.
(Humungoraptor spins like a ballerina as he falls, releasing a powerful energy shockwave that destroyed the Xerge humanoids around him)
President Gwen: Yeah! Great job.
(The individual Xerge pieces fall from the sky like snow)
President Gwen: Reminds me of the good ol' days.
Humungoraptor: They weren't so good for all of us, Commander-in-Grief.
(Gwen and Kevin laughs together. Behind them, the Xerge pieces gather into a large, animalistic form)
President Gwen: Well, glad that's over.
(Gwen and Humungoraptor takes notice of the Xerge beast that approached them)
Humungoraptor: I call dibs.
President Gwen: Nuh-uh. Creeper McCreeper is mine.
(The Xerge beast roars at the two, with small Xerge pieces being flung into their faces. The two run away, with the Xerge beast chasing after them)
(Gwen grabs Humungoraptor and uses her laser cannon to propel herself forwards, speeding up her travel. The Xerge beast roars and smashes a hole in a building. It continues to pursuit Gwen and Kevin)
President Gwen: You ready to do something crazy?
(Gwen shoots a laser at Humungoraptor that propels him towards the Xerge beast. While in the air, Humungoraptor wraps his tail around him and spins around like a buzzsaw before landing on the ground and releasing a powerful red energy wave at the Xerge beast. It came out seemingly unharmed and roars. It then coughs and begins to expand with red energy and then exploded into pieces, launching Humungoraptor and Gwen aside)
Humungoraptor: Well that wasn't so hard.
(Hex teleports to them)
Hex: This was their first wave, used to gather intel. They'll return stronger, better prepared.
President Gwen: We have to regroup back at the White House. Are you coming, Kevin?
Humungoraptor: Gwen, this isn't the old days. My Antitrix is shot. I'm stuck as Humungoraptor. You want to take down those remote-control boxes? Find the guy with the working Omnitrix.
President Gwen: Finding him isn't the problem, Kevin.
(In a dump yard out of Bellwood, an overweight Ben walks out onto a ledge and sees Bellwood being overrun by the Xerge. He takes a sip of a smoothie)
Ben 10,000: It's a disaster. [Burps] This smoothie tastes gross.
(He throws the smoothie away)
(Ben 10,000 whistles as he walks through the junkyard, passing by a sign that reads "Gwen for President". A purple droid pops his head out as Ben 10,000 walks by. The robot flys towards him, joining his stroll)
Ben 10,000: Hitch, have you seen any photon batteries lying around?
Hitch: Apologies, Benjamin, but I believe you used the last one to upgrade your antique Sumo Slammers game console.
Ben 10,000: Oh yeah, right. Totally worth it.
(Ben 10,000 and Hitch fist bumps)
Hitch: Forgive my rudeness, Benjamin. I could not help but notice the Xerge has invaded the city below.
Ben 10,000:" Yeah, and?
Hitch: Oh, I-I just thought since your... your family was down there that...
Ben 10,000: Not anymore. Those days are long gone. Besides, I have everyone I need right here.
(Ben 10,000 shows Hitch a table with three old, defunct robots. One of the robot's head falls off)
Ben 10,000: Louis!
(Ben 10,000 runs over and picks up the robot's head)
Ben 10,000: Are you okay, Louis?
Ben 10,000, as "Louis": Never better. We'll always be friends!
Ben 10,000: Unlike other people I know.
(Hex flies down, surprising Ben)
Hex: Fiddling with the rubbish while the world burns, Benjamin?
Ben 10,000: Hex!
Hex: How long has it been?
Ben 10,000: Not long enough.
(Ben 10,000 twists the Omnitrix dial and prepares to transform, but the core does pop up)
Hex: Hesitation? How typical.
(Ben 10,000 gets annoyed by the remark and slams down the Omnitrix. He does not transform. He then repeatedly smacks the device while Hex watches in disappointment)
Ben 10,000: Come on, don't do this to me again.
(After a couple more hits, the Omnitrix finally turns on)
Ben 10,000:" Yes! Prepare thyself for a butt kickin'.
(Ben 10,000 slams the Omnitrix. A transformation sequence occurs where he gains four green eyes and four blue hands with three fingers each. The transformation then abruptly pauses as Ben 10,000 sits down on Louis' head in exhaustion. He pants for a bit and then jumps up and finishes his transformation into Spidermonkey. Hex sighs)
Hex: I'm not here to renew old grudges.
Spidermonkey: Then you came to the wrong place!
(Spidermonkey screeches as he runs towards Hex. Hex shoots a red energy ball onto the alien, smashing him into the table of robots, breaking them)
Hitch: Benjamin?
(Hitch flies over to Spidermonkey)
Spidermonkey: Don't go into the light, Louis. You heartless monster!
Hex: Will you just listen?
Spidermonkey: Oh I'll listen, all ri-- ow, ow, ow, ow! Cramp!
(Spidermonkey's back cracks, he lowers his body in pain)
Hex: I have a message.
Spidermonkey: Message this.
(Spidermonkey tries to tackle Hex, but he flies upwards, causing Spidermonkey to fall into the trash behind him. Hitch looks away in shame. Spidermonkey groans. A toilet seat then falls onto his head) 
Spidermonkey: Ow!
Hex: This conflict is absurd and unnecessary. 
Spidermonkey: Oh, really? 'Cause I feel like it's totally necessa-- Whoa. Stood up too fast. Ooh... I'll be right with ya. Just, uh -- just, give me a minute.
(Hex facepalms)
Hex: How 'bout we forego the fighting and get to the matter at hand?
(Spidermonkey reverts to normal)
Ben 10,000: Fine. This doesn't mean I gave up. You didn't beat me.
Hex: I did not come here to beat you. I came on behalf of -- of your family.
Ben 10,000: Nice try, Hex. Once evil, always evil.
Hex: There is no good and evil anymore. Only survival and extinction. I have chosen survival. Don't believe me? Believe him.
(Hex opens a portal, with A.I. Max walking out)
A.I. Max: Hiya, Ben.
Ben 10,000: Grandpa!
A.I. Max: Uh, Ben.
(Ben 10,000 runs in for a hug but pass right through his grandfather)
Ben 10,000: Oh, right, you're a hologram. All that's left because I failed you. Failed everyone.
A.I. Max: Hey, that's not true, Ben. And besides, nothing we can do about the past. It's the future we have to think about. President Gwen needs you.
Ben 10,000: Ah! Da-da-da! Don't say the P-word.
A.I. Max: Gwen needs all the help she can get right now.
(Ben 10,000 looks at Hex)
Ben 10,000: She must.
A.I. Max: Times are tough, and getting tougher every day. But the toughest part for me is that my grandkids won't even speak to each other.
Ben 10,000: Yeah, well, we're not kids anymore.
A.I. Max: Then why are you acting like one?
(Some time later, Hex and Ben are in the bunker)
Hex: I assume, Benjamin, you've never been inside the presidential bunker.
Ben 10,000: Yeah, never could find time to drop by. Busy schedule and all.
Hex: This facility is equipped with everything we could need to stay below ground for two years.
Ben 10,000: Hope that includes deodorant.
(Ben 10,000 can hear Smythe grunting in a room)
Sergeant Smythe: Comfounded technology.
Ben 10,000: I know that obnoxious voice.
(Ben 10,000 and Hex look inside the room)
Ben 10,000: Steam Smythe.
Sergeant Smythe: Sergeant Smythe. Lead Science Corps Technician, as you please.
Ben 10,000: Ugh. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.
(Hex and Ben goes to another room which has Polar and Solar Twain working on a large machine)
Ben 10,000: The Twain Twins? Working together?
Hex: Desperate times and all that. And they're not exactly together.
(Hex shows Ben the large wall that separates between the twins)
Hex: If trouble does arise, we just spray them with water. That usually does the trick. We have more to see.
(In another room, Admiral Animo is examining an individual Xerge. The door behind him opens to let Ben and Hex in)
Admiral Animo: Ah, we have visitors.
Ben 10,000: Animo?
Hex: His research has been invaluable in our survival. Have you determined how they communicate, Admiral?
Ben 10,000: Admiral?! You're kidding.
Animo: I've found no biological invulnerability. They are amazing creatures. Unique. Tremendously so. Perhaps we should shift our focus to Project Bygone?
Ben 10,000: Project Bygone?
Admiral Animo: A time tunnel. One of my greatest scientific achiev--
Sergeant Smythe: Yours?! Unbelievable!
(Sergeant Smythe runs into the room to confront Animo)
Sergeant Smythe: You named it, but I did all the work!
Admiral Animo: Why you little...
Hex: Quit the bickering. You're both equally vital to our cause. However, should we fail to stop the Xerge...
Ben 10,000: What, escape through the time tunnel? Pretty risky, even for you.
Hex: Precisely what your cousin said before she vetoed the plan.
Ben 10,000: Yeah, Gwen's always been more fight than flight. You know, this little bug looks kinda familiar. How can something so puny be so destructive.
Humungoraptor: Ever meet yourself, bro?
(Ben looks up and sees a large dinosaur alien looming over him with a drooling mouth. He sees the Antitrix symbol on his chest and recognizes who he is)
Ben 10,000: Hmph, still can't time out, huh?
Humungoraptor: Maybe if someone hadn't bailed on me, I wouldn't be stuck like this!
Ben 10,000: Stuck? Considering what you normally look like, I'd say this is an improvement.
(Gwen walks into the room)
President Gwen: Some things never change, do they, Benjamin?
Ben 10,000: Gwen, uh... I... I mean, hey, uh...
President Gwen: Madam President will do.
Ben 10,000: Really? I didn't vote for you.
President Gwen: Same old Ben, cracking jokes. While the rest of us clean up your mess.
Ben 10,000: These things aren't my mess.
President Gwen: This is your alien tech.
Ben 10,000: Which was supposed to change the world. How was I to know it would--
President Gwen: Signal a vicious space seed that's tearing apart everything? Funny how that worked out.
(A.I. Max projects himself into the room. He chuckles)
A.I. Max: Oh, I'm lovin' this. Takes me right back to our first summer together. [Sighs] Feels like yesterday, and a lifetime ago.
Ben 10,000: This was a mistake. I don't belong here.
President Gwen: Go ahead, run away again. We've been doing fine without your "help".
(Ben walks towards the exit but then stops when he sees Sydney and Maurice running in)
Maurice: Madame President! We have inbound hostiles.
Ben 10,000: The Bugg Brothers? Seriously, the Bugg Brothers?
Maurice: Mm, joke all you want, but roaches will be all that's left to inherit this dump if you don't do something pronto!
Ben 10,000: Oh, I'm thinkin' about doing somethin' alright.
(The building rumbles as the Xerge in spaceship form fires a laser at the bunker's roof, leaving a massive hole. Hex and A.I. Max escorts Gwen away from the debris)
Hex: You must leave now.
President Gwen: Wait.
(The Xerge spaceship lets out a group of Xerge into the bunker. The Xerge sample that Animo was examining breaks out of its glass case and joins in the swarm)
A.I. Max: Hex is right. You need to leave, Gwen.
President Gwen: No, hold on. They're... they're not attacking us.
(The Xerge take on a humanoid form)
Xerge: We are Xerge.
President Gwen: ...And?
Xerge: We are Xerge, and we come for us. Surrender it now, or face the consequences.
Presdient Gwen: You've already freed yourself.
Xerge: Surrender it now, or face the consequences.
President Gwen: Ben, I think they're here for you.
Ben 10,000: Me?
President Gwen: Or your watch.
Ben 10,000: Is that right? Is this what you're after?
Xerge: Not the device; the contents.
Ben 10,000: You wanna see the contents?
(Ben unintentionally transforms into Buzzshock)
Buzzshock: Uh, Buzzshock? I really hate this thing.
Xerge: We come for us!
Sergeant Smythe: We need to evacuate, now!
Buzzshock: Go, I can handle this.
President Gwen: Can you stay, General Hex?
Hex: Absolutely. Go.
Humungoraptor, to Ben: No offense, but you're gonna need my help.
President Gwen: Get yourselves to safety as soon as you can.
(Gwen and the others run out)
Hex: It's difficult to comprehend that you two are related.
Buzzshock: Nice.
(The Xerge roars as it splits to multiple swarms. One of the hordes dives into the fighters. Hex creates a magic shield that blocks them. Humungoraptor fires out red energy from his mouth to attack another horde. Buzzshock blasts apart another one with his electrokensis. Hex blasts magic at an incoming Xerge attack)
Humungoraptor: Nice shot!
Hex: Thank you. You're not so bad yourself.
Buzzshock: This is so wrong on so many levels.
Hex: You know, Benjamin, people do change.
Buzzshock: I change all the time. It's Kevin here who's stuck the way he is.
Humungoraptor: Not quite what he meant, genius.
Buzzshock: Izzat right? Kevin! Behind you!
(Buzzshock flies into an incoming Xerge wave. When he gets pressed against them, he suddenly sees a vision of his young self, with a single piece of the Xerge within his Omnitrix)
Buzzshock: Why izzat familiar?
(Buzzshock falls onto the ground and times out)
Ben 10,000: Do I know what that is?
(The Xerge roars as it looms over Ben. It then gets blasted to pieces by Gwen, now in her mech suit)
President Gwen: Everyone out of here, now!
Ben 10,000: You can't take 'em alone!
President Gwen: You can't take them at all until you time in. Go! Live to fight another day.
Ben 10,000: Another day? Hang on. Hex, turn on Project Bygone.
President Gwen: Project Bygone? I shut that program down ages ago. What do you want with that?
(Hex shrugs)
Ben 10,000: I have a plan to clean up this mess for good. Trust me, like you used to.
President Gwen: What do you think, General Hex?
Hex: The only victory now is survival.
President Gwen: Don't mess this up.
Ben 10,000: Nice pep talk, Prez.
(Hex and Ben leaves while Gwen and Kevin fights the Xerge)
Ben 10,000: I probably shouldn't ask, but why are you helping me?
Hex: I assure it is entirely coincidental.
(They arrive into another room)
Hex: Smythe!
(Admiral Animo and Sergeant Smythe, armed with a gun, look down at the two from a higher floor)
Sergeant Smythe: Is it time for Project Bygone?
Hex: Yes, but with a slight change in plans.
Sergeant Smythe, sarcastically: Oh, wonderful...
(Smythe opens up the time tunnel)
Sergeant Smythe: She'll be up to full power in 30 seconds.
Hex: When you're ready to return, press this, and you'll brought back to the present.
(Hex hands Ben 10,000 a small device. They both gasp as a swarm of Xerge breaks into the wall)
Sergeant Smythe: Move it, Tennyson!
Hex: Go! We'll hold them off.
(Ben runs up the ramp towards the time tunnel. He takes one last look at his former enemies fighting off the Xerge as he jumps into the portal)
Admiral Animo: How do we know he's not just running away again?
Hex: Time will tell.
(In the present, we see Maxine Sez having a hot drink and Max setting up a picnic table)
Maxine: Do you hear that, camper?
Max: Oh no, what did Ben do this time?
Maxine: No, no. The silence.
(Maxine inhales and exhales deeply)
Maxine: Don't you just love Mother Nature?
Max: Oh, yes. So peaceful.
(Max slowly scooches next to Maxine while whistling. He then breathes in deeply. Suddenly they both surprised by Gwen's sudden shouting)
Gwen: Quit splashing!
Ben: Quit getting splashed!
Gwen: That doesn't make any sense!
Ben: You don't make any sense.
(Ben and Gwen laughs as they play in the water. Ben made a large splash at Gwen)
Ben: I'm king of the pool!
Gwen: It's a spring, not a pool, doofus.
Max: Okay, time to declare a lunch truce.
Maxine: There's no way they'll listen to us. Better send in the troops.
Ben: Blah, blah, blah. Fact, fact, fact.
Simon: Ben! Gwen! 
(Ben and Gwen continues to play as Simon approaches in his swim wear)
Simon: Ben? Gwen? Hi, Gwen! Hi, Ben!
Ben, to Gwen: Stay still. A six-year-old's vision is based on movement.
Simon: Grandpa Max and Aunt Maxine said we have to find my brother and go back to lunch.
Gwen: [Gasps] Ryan? Why didn't you open with that?
(Gwen laughs as she pushes Ben aside and runs out of the spring)
Ben: Gross.
Simon: I'm wearing floaties!
(Ben inhales and dives under the water. Simon watches. A metal tentacle sets foot in the distance. Ben resurfaces, gasping for air)
Ben: Okay, you win.
(Simon looks frightened when Ben extends his hand)
Ben: What? You afraid I'm gonna pull you in?
Simon: No, I'm afraid of that.
(Simon points at the incoming Clocktopus over the mountain, causing the swimmers to get out of the lake. The Clocktopus jumps to the water near Ben)
Ben: Biggest. Cannonball. Ever.
(Ben gets splashed onto shore next to Simon. He spits out some water. Steam Smythe laughs evilly)
Steam Smythe: Feast your eyes on my mighty beast, Clocktopus 10.1!
Ben: Steam Smythe. I thought you hated upgrades.
Steam Smythe: Not as much as I hate losing to you!
(Steam Smythe graons but then regains his cool by taking a deep breath)
Steam Smythe: Easy, Smythe. Mind your blood pressure. Anyway, I've come to settle this gentlemen quarrel once and for all!
Ben, to Simon: I'll play Sumo Slammers with you later if you go keep the adults busy.
Simon: Yay!
(Simon runs back to the adults)
Ben: Now to deal with this goober. Whoa!
(The Omnitrix releases some green static and then displays a new alien silhouette which looks like an "X")
Ben: No way! A new alien? Ha, you picked the wrong day to crash this hot spring, Steamy.
(A short transformation sequence shows Ben turning into a Xerge)
Surge: Weird. Feels like I'm having a power surge. Wonder what we can do. Take that!
(Surge gets into an action pose, but nothing happens)
Surge: Uh, take that! What gives?
(Surge grunts, trying to activate a power as the Clocktopus looms over)
Steam Smythe: Aww, did your futuristic alien technology let you down?
(The Clocktopus tries to attack Surge, but he dodges multiple times)
Steam Smythe: Full steam ahead!
(Surge struggles to walk as the Clocktopus chases him. We then cut to Gwen looking for Ryan)
Gwen: Ryan! Oh, Ryan! Hmm? Ryan!
(Gwen goes next to a tree and ruffles out her hair, clearing her throat and getting into a casual pose)
Gwen: Oh, 'sup, Ryan? You wanna head back and grab a bite or --
(Two people run past Gwen screaming. Gwen organizes her hair and runs to the scene)
Gwen: Oh, no. What did Ben do now?
(The Clocktopus is knocking over trees while Surge is trying to flee from it)
Surge: No powers? This alien stinks! Who put this dud in my Omnitrix?
Gwen: Wait, the Clocktopus? Then that must be --
Surge: Gwen, look out!
(Surge bumps into Gwen. Gwen lifts him up)
Gwen: Ben? What happened to you?
Surge: New alien. I call it Surge, but it's not helpful.
(Gwen dodges Clocktopus' attack)
Gwen: So now I have to clean up your mess? Luckily, it's just Steam Smythe.
(Gwen throws Surge aside)
Surge: Ow!
Steam Smythe: Oh, I'm right here!
(The Clocktopus makes multiple attacks at an incoming Gwen, but she manages to dodge it all)
Gwen: Ha! Not even close.
Steam Smythe: Hold still, you wily little miscreant!
(The Clocktopus chases Gwen as a pink portal opens in the distance. Ben 10,000 falls out of it and sees the large robot)
Gwen: He's faster than before.
(The Clocktopus grabs Gwen. Steam Smythe chuckles evilly)
Steam Smythe: Caught you.
Surge: Oh, no. I got to help her.
(Surge struggles to walk forward and then trips. Instead of faceplanting, he's floating)
Surge: Whoa! Surge can fly? Now we're talkin'.
(Surge flies in to tackle the Clocktopus. He smacks into its' clock and then falls onto the ground. The Clocktopus smashes him with a tentacle)
Surge: No. Still totally useless.
Steam Smythe: Any last words, Tennysons?
(A Tetramand smacks into the Clocktopus, which causes it to release Gwen and make her fall onto the ground)
Gwen: Aah! Uh, w-what happened?
Steam Smythe: Who dares interrupt our fisticuffs?
(Surge groans in the ground as Gwen runs over)
Gwen: Ben, are you okay?
Surge: I-I'm fine. Hold up, is that Four Arms?
Gwen: But if you're you...
Surge: Then who's that?
(Four Arms jumps and punches the machine to the ground)
Four Arms: Oh yeah! One hit K.O.!
(Four Arms poses triumphantly)
Four Arms: Man, feels great to flex my four arms again.
(The Clocktopus smacks Four Arms away. Four Arms gets up and cracks his back)
Four Arms: Don't miss the pain part.
Steam Smythe: Rabble rouser, this is not your fight.
(The Clocktopus attacks Four Arms)
Steam Smythe: I don't know who you are, but this is between myself and Ben Tennyson.
Four Arms: Then you're in luck, Rust Lips!
(Four Arms grabs two tentacles and spins the Clocktopus around, he smashes it into the ground and jumps onto it)
Four Arms: Still got it.
Steam Smythe: Get off of me! Get off!
(The Clocktopus smacks itself onto the ground again. Four Arms climbs on top of it and cracks his knuckles. He makes a hole into its cockpit with his fists. Steam Smythe chuckles nervously)
Steam Smythe: Shall we call it a draw?
(Four Arms pulls Steam Smythe out of the machine)
Four Arms: Turns out you're not so bad, Smythe. But right now, you're in my way, so...
(Four Arms throws Steam Smythe far away)
Steam Smythe: Aaaah!
Four Arms: He'll be fine.
(Four Arms jumps off the Clocktopus and dusts his hands together. Gwen and Surge approaches him)
Surge: That was my baddie to beat. That four-armed fight stealer.
Gwen: Ben. I mean, "Surge". Shouldn't we be asking who this other Four Arms is?
Surge: Don't worry, I got this.
(Surge flies in front of Four Arms)
Surge: Who do you think you are?
Four Arms: [Gasps] Xerge! How did they follow me here?
Gwen: Good one. Now he wants to fight.
(Four Arms grabs Surge and sees Gwen)
Four Arms: Gwen? [Gasp] So, it worked. I'm in the past! Which means this must be...
(Surge times out)
Four Arms: Come here, little fella!
(Four Arms hugs Ben)
Ben: Can't... breathe...
Four Arms: I found you. I finally found you!
(Four Arms noogies Ben's head, Ben pushes him away)
Ben: Could you find a bath, too? You got like nuclear B.O. Eugh!
(Four Arms puts Ben down as he organizes his hair)
Four Arms: Where's Grandpa Max?
Gwen: He's, uh, back at the Rustbucket. And you are?
Four Arms: The Rustbucket. So many memories...
Ben: You just gave up valuable intel? We don't know this creep.
Gwen: Uh, he has a watch, he knows Grandpa, and has nuclear B.O., so... he's obviously you from the future.
Four Arms: Bingo! Now I need to see Grandpa.
Ben: You can't just waltz in like that. I have questions.
(Ben inhales deeply)
Ben: When do I get tall? Can I grow a beard? What other aliens do I get? Does the Rustbucket fly in the future? Are there still Sumo Slammers? Is laser tag lethal? Does candy eat you?
(Ben climbs onto Four Arms)
Four Arms, to Gwen: Woah, was I always this annoying?
Gwen: Yeah, pretty much. But we do have company, so you might not want to rush in all future-y. It could complicate stuff.
(Four Arms prys Ben off his chest)
Four Arms: Got any ideas?
Gwen: Well...
(We cut to Ben and Gwen running to the lunch table where Max, Maxine, Ryan and Simon are waiting)
Ben: Wait for us! Ahem. Grandfather, Ms. Maxine, thank you for this meal.
(Ben and Gwen began to gobble down the food)
Ben, chewing: We're starving. Thanks, guys.
Gwen: You sure do work up a big appetite in the pool.
(Gwen cleanly eats an ear of corn)
Ben, eating a sandwich: I believe the correct term is hot spring?
Gwen, eating the other side of the sandwich: Right again, Ben.
Max: So, I was, uh, thinking...
Gwen: Can't hear you over Ben's chewing.
(Ben and Gwen chew loudly as they continue to devour the food. Simon reaches for a cupcake but Ben takes it. They both then grossly eat a huge wheel of cheese, with some of the food splurting near Max's face. Suddenly we see them eating a steak and drinking tea with dignity while still spilling food near Maxine's face and hitting a ladybug onto its back. A bit of food landed on Ryan's smartphone which causes him to look up. The guests and Max look at Ben and Gwen with shocked faces)
Ben, weakly: Ta-da.
(Ben and Gwen pass out at the table)
Maxine: They were hungry. I'll have to make my boys some lunch in our camper. Come on, you two.
Ryan: That was fire.
(The Sez family walks back to their camper. Gwen gets up)
Gwen: [Burps] Ahh, did you hear that?
Ben: The universe heard that.
Gwen: Ryan called me fire.
Max: If we do this again next summer, I'm going to teach you two some table manners.
(Grandpa Max collects some dirty dishes)
Ben: Sorry, Grandpa, but we had to get rid of them quick so we could show you something. Just don't freak out, okay?
Max: Ben, what is this about?
Ben: That.
(Ben points at Four Arms who walks into the scene)
Four Arms: Grandpa? It's really you! I can't believe it!
(Four Arms hugs Max and swings him a bit happily)
Max: Uh, well, this is a little freaky.
(Four Arms reverts to human)
Max: And that, even freakier.
Ben 10,000: Grandpa, it's okay, I'm--
Max: Future Ben, obviously. Uh, and make yourself at home. Have a half-eaten burger. What brings you to our neck of the temporal woods?
Ben 10,000: Can't say much. Could create a time paradox.
Ben: If you can't tell us anything about the future, why are you even here?
Ben 10,000: I need another Omnitrix.
Ben: I don't like where this is going.
Ben 10,000: I need to stop an invasion in the future. An invasion by the same alien species you just turned into.
Ben: Surge? Ha. You can have him. He's a big fat zero! But you can't have the watch.
Ben 10,000: Ben, this is no time to argue.
Ben: Hello, genius? I can't take it off. Or did you forget?
(Ben 10,000 sighs)
Max: Is there any other way?
Ben 10,000: Yes. But I'm not gonna like it.
(Ben 10,000 grabs Ben's hand)
Ben 10,000: I have to take you back.
Ben: To the future? Awesome! I'll be able to watch the final episode of Xingo before it's even made!
Ben 10,000: You need to be serious. This is our only shot at saving the people we love.
Max: Ben, I think he means us.
Gwen: We're so extinct.
(Ben 10,000 hugs Max one last time)
Ben 10,000: I've missed you so much. I'll get Ben-- me-- right back to you... if I can.
Ben: Wait, what?
(Ben 10,000 lifts up his past self and opens a time tunnel)
Ben: If you can?! What do you mean if you can?
(The two entered the portal and came out on the other side to a destroyed White House. Ben 10,000 shudders and falls to his knees)
Ben 10,000: We're too late.
Ben: Aw, man.
(Ben and his future self looks at the debris)
Ben: Okay, you went back in time to find me so we could save the future, which, by the way, is way less sci-fi awesomeness than I was hoping.
Ben 10,000: When I left, this was the White House. Now look at it. Just one more mess I caused.
Ben: Aw, don't beat yourself up. Save that for the bad guys. From what I've learned this summer, it's that beating up bad guys fixes everything.
(Ben pats Ben 10,000's stomach. Sergeant Smythe runs towards them)
Sergeant Smythe: What in the name of Thomas Edison took you so long?
Ben: [Gasps] Steam Smythe? You did this, didn't you? Prepare for a beatdown!
(Ben transforms into Diamondhead)
Sergeant Smythe: W-Wait!
(Diamondhead shoots a crystal block at Smythe, knocking him down)
Diamondhead: Finally got what you wanted, eh? No supercomputers, no flying cars, no zero-G laser tag.
(Diamondhead jumps towards Smythe, Ben 10,000 gets in front of him)
Ben 10,000: Stop! He's on our side.
Diamondhead: What?
(Diamondhead trips onto the ground)
Diamondhead: Man, the future's messed up.
(Ben 10,000 helps Sergeant Smythe up)
Sergeant Smythe: President Tennyson has led the Xerge away from Bellwood.
Diamondhead: I'm the president in the future? No way!
(Sergeant Smythe and Ben 10,000 stares at Diamondhead)
Diamondhead: Ohhhh... You mean Gwen, don't you? I'm never gonna live this one down.
Ben 10,000: Probably not. Where'd she lead them?
Sergeant Smythe: To that junkyard you were hiding out in. She told them that's where they would find whatever it is they're after.
Ben 10,000: Ben, we have to go, now.
(Ben 10,000 transforms into Heatblast)
Heatblast: Let's do this.
(A.I. Max appears before them)
A.I. Max: Leaping before you look, Ben?
Diamondhead: Aah! Ghost Grandpa!
(Diamondhead falls over)
A.I. Max: I'm glad you made it back home safe. I missed you, Ben. So what's the plan?
Heatblast: Well, what I do best -- being a real hero.
(A.I Max nods his head then disappears)
Heatblast: It's Hero Time! I mean...
Heatblast and Diamondhead: Hero Times!
(In the junkyard, the Xerge beast and an armada of Xerge spaceships are looking for Gwen)
President Gwen: M.A.X., lock on my coordinates and initiate scrub order.
A.I. Max: Scrub? I can't do that, Gwen. You'd be caught in the--
President Gwen: I'd be the only one caught. It's why I tricked them outside the city limits. Now blow 'em sky high before they figure it out.
A.I. Max: Just because I'm an artificial intelligence doesn't mean I'll ever stop caring about you. Besides, help is on the way.
Xerge: We tire of waiting.
President Gwen: Word has it the wait's over. Wait, what is that?
(Heatblast destroys some of the Xerge spaceships by flying through them)
Heatblast: Madame President, seems like you could use a hand or two.
Diamondhead: That Heatblast is sick! I can't wait to learn how to fly.
Heatblast: How about you start with the new move I told you about?
(Diamondhead jumps into the air and forms a giant spiked crystal ball with his body, destroying more ships. Heatblast lights the ball on fire as it falls onto the Xerge beast below with an explosion)
President Gwen: Ben?
(Gwen slides down the crater)
Diamondhead: Man, that was wicked awesome!
President Gwen: You came back.
Heatblast: Hey Prez, what's up? I know what you're gonna say, but no more running, I promise.
President Gwen: [Sighs] Wait, who's that? Kevin? Since when can you do Diamondhead?
Diamondhead: Kevin? Ouch, cous.
(Diamondhead reverts)
Ben: Don't you recognize a hero when you see one?
(Gwen stares in disbelief)
President Gwen: Ben, what have you done?!
Heatblast: It's all part of my plan--
President Gwen: Putting your past self in mortal danger?! Ever heard of time paradoxes, genius?
(Heatblast reverts)
Ben 10,000: He'll be fine.
President Gwen: Says the guy who can't even take care of his present self. And now you put not one, but two of your timelines in danger?
Ben: Uh, old Gwen, old me? We got a big problem-o.
Ben 10,000: Just try and -- Huh?
(The Xerge beast reforms)
Xerge: Your deception is pointless. Give us what was promised, or we ravage the rest of your world.
President Gwen: Ha, what you came for isn't here, Xerge. Never was.
Xerge: We seek the last of our kind. The one that will grant us ultimate power, and yet, here are two.
Ben: Uh, I just got here, bub. Wait, what's it talking about?
Ben 10,000: That new alien of yours? It's Xerge DNA. Same as mine.
Xerge: Imprisoned. Weakening us. Keeping us from being one.
Ben 10,000: That's why you're here? What if I surrender, will you call off the invasion?
President Gwen: That's your big plan?
Ben 10,000: I'm sorry. Take it.
(The Xerge reaches for Ben 10,000's Omnitrix)
Xerge: If this is a trick...
President Gwen: No! Hitch, it's go time.
(Hitch pops out from some garbage)
Hitch: Roger.
(Hitch attaches giant missile launchers onto Gwen's mech suit)
Ben: Woah, no way she'd let me live this down. Future Gwen is super rad.
President Gwen: I didn't think I'd have to use this.
Xerge: Finally.
(Gwen launches missiles at the Xerge)
Ben 10,000: Gwen, no! 
(Rath grabs Ben 10,000 and saves him from the explosion)
Ben 10,000: No, you fool! Let me go! I'm trying to end this.
Rath: Lemme tell ya somethin'. Quitting's for losers, old dude.
Ben 10,000: I'm not that old.
Rath: Somebody knocks us down, we get back up and show 'em what we're made of.
(Rath reverts)
Ben 10,000: Thanks for the pep talk, junior. Look, whatever you learned on summer vacation doesn't apply here. We can't just punch our way out of this. The harder we fight, the stronger the Xerge gets.
President Gwen: Not necessarily. While you were gone, I had M.A.X. run some scans.
(Gwen blasts away the Xerge that was getting back up. A.I. Max appears)
A.I. Max: Kids, I have important information.
Ben 10,000: What's up?
A.I. Max: We found out the Xerge are a collective consciousness; a single entity. Taken separately, the individual units don't amount to much, but together --
President Gwen: Their power increases exponentially.
Ben: They can't fight alone. They're like an infection. So that's why my Surge alien was a total dud. 
A.I. Max: You got it, kiddo. Eep! Later. 
(A.I. Max disappears as the Xerge beast rises)
Xerge: Enough!
Ben 10,000: You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Ben: Yup, cause I am you. Let's do it.
(Both Bens transform into Surge)
Xerge: Those forms are not yours to flaunt.
Surge 10k: Let's show 'em what happens when you mess with the mind of an alien powered 10-year-old.
Surge: You get mind cooties.
Surge 10k: What's that noise we used to make on long Rustbucket trips?
Surge: Boop?
Surge 10k: Yeah, boop. Let's boop the heck out of him, Ben.
Surge: Boop!
Surge 10k: Boop!
(The two Surge fly through the Xerge beast, taking some Xerges with them)
Surge: I'll be taking these Xerges.
Surge 10k: Piece by piece, we're gonna take you down.
Surge: Boop!
Surge 10k: Boop!
Xerge: Boop? What's the meaning of boop?
(The two Surge flies back for another attack but Xerge smacks both of them away)
Xerge: Finally, we will be complete.
President Gwen: Clever quips are his thing, so lemme just say, get off my planet!
(Gwen blasts the Xerge with a laser, with little effect. The Xerge roars)
President Gwen: Looks like we're gonna need backup.
(Gwen presses a button on her mech suit that calls a group of robots to assist her. They blast multiple lasers at the Xerge, with no effect. The Xerge shoots its own laser and destroys all the robots) 
President Gwen: Uh-oh.
(Gwen backs away from the Xerge)
Xerge: Thanks to your foolhardy kin, we are one step closer to our ultimate reign. Once their minds join us, it will be the end.
Surge: Join them? Yeah right. If anything you'd join me.
Surge 10k: That's it, we combine and take him apart from the inside.
Surge: Hey, yeah! We'll infect his mind just like he's trying to do to us. That might be our only chance.
Surge 10k: Let's join up.
(The two Surge combine together)
Both Surge: Boop!
(They fly into the Xerge, infecting multiple units)
Both Surge: Okay, friends, the word of the day is "boop".
(The Xerges repeatedly beep the word "boop")
Xerge: Something doesn't feel right.
(The Xerge beasts splits to two, with the green one being controlled by the Bens)
Surge: With this many we might have a fighting chance.
Xerge: Relish your independence while you can.
Surge: I kinda like this planet. How about you?
Surge 10k: Definitely my top home world.
Xerge: As your minds assimilate, your minds will follow, and then you will be of us.
(The Xerge roars as it attacks Surge, regaining some of its units)
Surge 10k: Ready to teach this monstrosity a lesson?
Surge: Let's go.
(Surge repeatedly punches the Xerge as they fly into the air. The two beasts combine together as the Bens assimilate more of the Xerge. The Xerge transform into a giant "X")
President Gwen: There you go, Bens! Take them apart.
(Xerge and Surge face off in their building-like construct forms)
Xerge: I will never relinquish my Xerge army.
Surge: Have it your way.
(The Xerge explodes, causing the deactivated Xerge to rain all over Bellwood)
President Gwen: Come on, Ben, don't do this to me.
(Gwen searchs for the two Surge, who landed on some junk. They both time out and groan in pain)
Ben, weakly: Boop.
Ben 10,000: Yeah, in retrospect, that was really annoying.
Ben: Hundro percent.
(Gwen finds them and hugs them with her mech suit)
President Gwen: Yes! That is what I'm talking about! Ben! Ben! Ben! Ben!
Both Bens: Too tight.
President Gwen: Too bad. I am not letting go. It's so good to have you back.
Ben 10,000: Good to be back.
Hex: There's no time for such sentiments.
(Gwen lets go of both of them. Ben hovers his hand over the Omnitrix)
Ben: Hex... still looks evil.
Ben 10,000: Right?
President Gwen: Is the time tunnel still operable?
Hex: Yes, but it grows more unstable each moment. If it collapses before the boy returns, the paradoxes will be cataclysmic.
President Gwen: Typical Ben effect. Let's get you home.
(The scene cuts to Ben 10,000, Gwen, Sergeant Smythe and Ben in front of the time tunnel)
President Gwen: Thanks for saving the world. See you in 30 years.
Ben 10,000: And thanks for reminding me who I used to be.
Ben: Wait! I have so many questions. How'd Gwen get elected? Is candy still bad for you in the future? Will there ever be flying cars?
(Sergeant Smythe shoves Ben into the time tunnel)
Sergeant Smythe: Oh, I've been waiting decades to do that!
(In the present, Ben is making burgers with Grandpa Max)
Max: Everything okay? You seem, uh, calm. Makes me nervous. 
Ben: Got to enjoy it all while you can, right Grandpa?
Max: Spoken like a boy beyond his years.
(We cut back to the future where we see workers collecting deactivated Xerges and using it for construction work)
President Gwen, on recording: After defeating the Xerge, humanity was able to turn the alien's destructive nature for good. With the remaining pieces, we've rebuilt our lives. These unexpected building blocks are a constant reminder to not give up on ourselves, or each other. We are one step closer to peace.
(We see a now fit Ben 10,000 shaving off his beard)
Ben 10,000: What do you think?
Hitch: Good enough for the movies, or at least television.
Ben 10,000: Thanks, Hitch.
(Ben 10,000 puts on a green jacket as he goes to Gwen's dome where she is discussing matters with A.I. Max, Sergeant Smythe and Hex)
Ben 10,000 : Your Majesty.
President Gwen: "Madame President" is fine, and--
(Ben 10,000 pokes Gwen's nose)
Ben 10,000: Boop.
(Ben 10,000 leaves, with Sergeant Smythe and Hex muttering)
Hex: Now see here...
Sergeant Smythe: That is unacceptable.
A.I. Max: Well, in some ways, he'll always be 10.
Ben 10,000: It's Hero Time!
(Ben 10,000 jumps and slams his Omnitrix. The episode ends)
