Descend

## Descend (working title)

Descend (working title) is a movie by Creeper and Jose documenting Ben's downfall.

## Plot (W.I.P.)

[Open to a vibrant city. Tall, multi-colored buildings are all around and the doors and shapes of each are unique.]

[**Voice**, narrating]: This was Creose. The biggest city on earth. It was built from scratch by the greatest minds of Undertown, and was populated by aliens and humans alike.

[The camera pans down and zooms in into an alleyway, where a Protost in a jumpsuit is walking.]

[***Raspy Voice***]: Hello.

[The Protost ignores it.]

[***Raspy Voice***]: I'm looking to sample some of your slime.

[The Protost stops.]

[**Protost**]: You remembered the code this time.

[The source of the raspy voice, an Ectonurite wearing a black second skin, phases out of the alley wall.

[**Ectonurite**]: Of course. I wouldn't want to miss out on something so...powerful.

[The Protost takes out a cylindrical device from it's jumpsuit.]

[**Protost]**: A solar diverter. Do you have what I want?

[The Ectonurite reaches into the folds of his skin, and takes out a Plumber Badge, but is inturrepted by a loud cawing.]

[***???***]: Tickin Clock!

[The Ectonurite is hit in the face by a bronze talon, belonging to {Tickin Clock Description}]

[**Protost**]: I warned you about Tennyson! I told you!

[**Ectonurite**]: It keeps happening!

[Tickin Clock lunges at the Ectonurite, but it simply turns invisible and intangible and he goes right through it, getting met with an orange tentacle hitting him around the face.]

[**Tickin Clock**]: That's not fair!

[Tickin Clock is grabbed by the leg by the Protost, and he struggles for a second before getting an idea. He kicks the tentacle with his free leg and sends a ring of green energy down the tentacle and around the Protost, making it freeze.]

[**Tickin Clock**]: I guess it was about time you stopped.

[The Ectonurite reappears behind Tickin Clock and tries to enter him. He shakes, trying to resist it.]

[**Tickin Clock**, straining]: Sorry, but I've got to save the world!

[Tickin Clock releases a green blast of energy, expelling the Ectonurite and freezing it in time. He stumbles and is engulfed in a red aura. When it fades, a tall man with straight brown hair, green eyes and the beginnings of a beard is there instead. He's wearing a shirt with Mr. Gyro logo on it and has two green gauntlets with an hourglass symbol on them. Ben Tennyson.]

[**Ben**]: Ugh...I'll never do that again.

[He taps the left gauntlet, and a hologram of a blue, cat-like humanoid comes up.]

[**Ben**]: Hey Rook, do you think you could pick me up? The Biomnitrix is out of juice again.

[Minutes later Rook appears in the same old Proto-TRUKK, picking up Ben and beginning to fly to the Plumber Base, still based in space. It enters the basement of it; a parking lot next to an abandoned shop. Their parking space began to glow as they were teleported to the Plumber HQ spaceship deck. As soon as they exit the Proto-TRUKK, a group of maintenace robot gather around it, cleaning it. An elderly man with a small beard wearing a floral pattern walks out of an elevator. He smiles when he sees Ben and Rook.]

[**Ben**]: Grandpa Max! Back already?

[**Max**]: Yes. Rook *told* me what happened. You can't keep straining that new Omnitrix of yours.

[Ben looks guilty.]

[**Rook**]: Magister Tennyson is correct. Fusions take up a sufficient amount of battery compared to regular transformations, and using their power so much is not helping. What will you do when it times out in the middle of a battle, and you are not able to fight back in time.

[**Ben**, trying to change the subject]: So, uh, what's new here? I haven't been to this place in a while.

[**Max**, sighs]: Trying to change subject, huh? Oh well... I guess it is true, you haven't been here in sometime. Come on then.

[{Description of Plumber HQ; continue on from here, Ben has short conversations with other Plumbers and is relieved from duty. Describe as much as possible to make it long - use those adjectives!}](Goooood I hate discribing too much. Oh well.)

[Ben opens the door to a room with grey walls. Clothes are torn haphazardly across the floor and a TV us set to the news in front of of a couch. A mini-fridge is placed below the only window, filtering blue light into the otherwise dark room.]

[**Ben**]: Jeez, I really need to clean this place up.

[He contemplates using the Biomnitrix, but something on the TV catches his eye.]

[**TV**]: Numerous reports of a man who goes by the name Bill standing on the tracks between stops of a train have come in. He claims that it's a 'magic trick' and that he'll 'get off on the next stop'. People have gathered on the platform area, waiting for the results.

[A second later, Rook's hologram appears on the left Biomnitrix gauntlet.]

[Rook]: Ben-

[Ben]: I know.

[He runs out of the room and it cuts to the train tracks, where a 20-year-old in a business suit, Bill, is standing on the tracks. People are gathered around, trying to get him off but too scared to go on themselves. Ben is standing with the crowd in a trench coat. Rook's hologram appears again.]

[**Rook**]: Ben, you should do something.

[**Ben**]: I want to see what he does. Only crazy people would do this without a plan, and pretty I'm sure they don't wear business suits.

[The train comes around, and people start panicking. At the last second, Bill takes out a grey, cylindrical device and taps it.]

**Ectonurite**

[Bill pushes it into his chest, and particles gather around him, and he changes into an Ectonurite and turns intangible, passing through and into the train.

Ben taps both Biomnitrix gauntlets, showing the symbols of Ghostfreak and Upgrade, and smacks them together. His eyes morph into one green circle, and his legs morph into a tail. Chains grow on him and his entire body becomes black, with circuitry spreading over it. A white cuff appears on his neck.]

[**Alien**]: Ectograde!

[Ectograde flies into the train and sees Bill, back to normal, rubbing his head.]

[**Ectograde**]: Do you know how dangerous that was?! You could've gotten stuck in the train's walls or worse!

[**Bill**]: Relax, I've been practicing for a week, though I did hit my head on something when I got in.

[They begin to approach the next stop, but the train doesn't slow down.]

[Ectograde]: Hang on- this train should be slowing down by now...

[Bill]: So that's what I hit my head on.

[Ectograde gives him an angry look.]

[**Ectograde**]: When we get off this train, you're arrested by Plumber law for endangerment of the General Public.

[**Bill**]: What?! I can't go to prison, I have a family, I'll crumble!

[**Ectograde**]: Relax, it's only for a day.

[The train shakes, knocking Bill sideways.]

[**Ectograde**]: I have more important things to do right now.

[Ectograde flies into the wall and morphs with it, spreading his circuitry patterns across the train.]

[**Ectograde**, through intercom]: Attention all passengers, we will now be stopping. Have a nice day.

[The train slows down and stops just as it reaches the platform. Ectograde un-morphs with the train and turns back, leaving panic-stricken passengers to get off. Bill leaves last, stepping out to a crowd of applauding people. Shouts of "I can't believe it!" and "He did it!" are spread across the crowd. Ben takes him aside.]

[**Ben**]: Sorry, but you'll have to leave your fans until tomorrow, unless you want to be cuffed in front of them.

[Bill reluctantly accepts. Still waving to the crowd as Ben takes him away.]

[Fade to the inside of Plumber HQ. Max, Rook, Gwen and Ben are talking around a table.]

[**Rook**]: The arrested was carrying a cylindrical device...*(he holds it up)* which seemingly allowed him to become an Ectonurite for a certain amount of time.

[**Max**]: But it didn't. It instead added Ectonurite cells to his body, and made his human cells dormant, allowing for many future uses, but only by him. We've heard of devices like these for a few weeks now, sold illegally.

[**Gwen**]: If it got into the wrong hands, the effects could be devastating.

[**Ben**]: Where did they come from?

[**Max**]: That's what Gwendolyn's here for.

[Rook passes the device to Gwen, and her eyes glow dark magenta.]

[**Gwen**]: I....can't find anything.

[**Ben**]: What?

[**Gwen**]: The first time I can sense that it was touched was *after* Bill turned back.

[**Rook**]: When it makes the human cells dormant and activates the Ectonurite cells, it must need to send something in to stabilise. That's what you sense.

[**Gwen**]: *Great*.

[**Ben**]: Why don't we ask Bill?

[They get up and walk over to the cell that he's held in. They knock on the glass.]

[**Bill**]: Huh? Oh, are you here to interrogate me?

[**Ben**]: Sort of. We just want to know where you got the device.

[**Bill**]: I found it on the ground. Thought it was a E-lighter at first, but I'm glad I picked it up.

[**Ben**]: On the ground eh?

[Gwen closes her eyes.]

[**Gwen**]: He's telling the truth. Looks like whoever dealt them dropped that one.

[**Rook**]: How will we track them now?

[**Max**]: We'll have to wait for the next attack. They're mainly in Bellwood from what I've seen, so we'll split you up. Gwen and Rook, you take North, Ben...

[**Ben**]: I don't need a partner, got it.

[**Max**]: No, you have a partner. She's just as unhappy as you are.

[Ben grumpily walks down the alleyway, meeting a girl with black hair tied into a ponytail, brown skin and brown eyes. She's wearing a brown shirt and jacket.]

[**Ben**]: Kai.

[**Kai**]: Ben.

[They turn away from each other and stand in silence for a few seconds.]

[**Kai**]: You haven't spoken to me in two months.

[**Ben**]: I was busy.

[**Kai**]: The last time I saw you, you promised to call the next day.

[**Ben**]: Things change.

[**Kai**]: Like my feelings.

[**Ben**]: It's mutual.

[They hear footsteps.]

[**Ben**]: Someone's coming.

[**Kai**, salty]: Gee I didn't know that.

[**Ben**]: We'll talk about this later.
