Ben 10: Ultimate Alien s02e03 Episode Script
Viktor: The Spoils
I would never question your wisdom, master.
But? The weapon our soldiers found I fear that if we activate it, we won't be able to control it.
Sweet Fritz, what's behind this door is the salvation of my kingdom.
You can't turn such terrible power against your own people, my prince rebels or not.
No, Fritz.
The moment they turned their backs on the crown, they forfeited their citizenship.
And my mercy.
This was a beautiful country once.
But years of rebel defiance has sullied that beauty.
No more.
It's still beautiful, my prince.
Meet with the rebel leaders.
Perhaps they would benefit more from your wisdom than your wrath.
You know what those devils did! Whose side are you on? Only your side, prince Gyula.
I've I've overstepped my place.
You are forgiven, my faithful one.
But ask yourself should I continue to see Zarkovia live in fear when it is within my power to bring peace? Within whose power? Surely my eldest son hasn't forgotten who rules the great nation of Zarkovia? My king! Rise, Fritz.
My anger is reserved for my son, a cub who is convinced that he is now leader of the pack.
I work only for your glory, father.
Did you truly think that anything occurs within these walls without my knowledge? Show it to me! It is magnificent, father.
And once we resurrect Dr.
Viktor, no power on earth can stand against our might! Our scientists have identified the corpse as an alien criminal called Dr.
Viktor.
I propose we restore it to life, under our total control.
This is madness, my son.
If you unleash this thing upon the rebels, there may not be a kingdom to protect.
All of our enemies will bow down before me.
Before you.
You will be king someday, my son.
But before that day comes, you have much to learn.
You speak like a diplomat! If it wasn't for your weakness, mother would still be alive! How dare you! I dare everything! I am the glorious future of Zarkovia! And you! You are a feeble old man whose days are numbered.
We shall see.
It's not the end of the world, Kevin.
If it was, I wouldn't mind, but missing my one chance to get a refurbished teleporter pod for this? What do you need a teleporter for? Let's see breaking into bad guys' headquarters, escaping from bad guys' traps uh saving money on spaceship fuel.
Okay.
Point taken.
But Gwen can teleport us with her magic.
It makes her tired.
It does not! And cranky.
You make me cranky.
Sorry, Kevin.
This is important.
The king himself asked for our help.
Wow.
The king of Zirconia.
"Zarkovia.
" A small, but strategically important monarchy.
They're in the middle of a civil war.
No problem.
Ben can take care of that over the weekend.
I learned my lesson last time.
This time we've got a more focused mission.
The crown prince has a weapon of mass destruction, and he's using his new power to overthrow the king.
We're going in and taking that weapon off the table.
Sounds like a job for the u.
N.
, not us.
Except that the weapon is named Dr.
Viktor.
Think he's still mad at me from last time? Oh, yeah.
Definitely.
Incoming! Three surface-to-air missiles.
Closing fast! On it.
Echo echo! I was going for jetray, but whatever.
Oh, no! Ultimate echo echo.
Hi.
I'm Gwen.
This is Kevin.
Consider yourself prisoners of the monarchy of zarkovia! I claim your vehicle as a spoil of war.
Like that's gonna happen Easy, everybody.
I can explain.
I can explain very quickly.
You rebels will not find the zarkovian forces wanting.
Wait.
We're not rebels.
I'm Ben Tennyson.
The king asked me to come here.
Well, king Xarion's decrees carry rather less authority than they once did.
Is that a fact? Soldiers, stand down! Father? You're in no condition to attend to the affairs of state.
Ready to usurp me, son? Are you sure the military will follow you instead of me? The balance of power swings towards me, old man.
It's just a matter of time.
And not much of that.
Your son's the guy trying to take over? I thought it was the rebels.
The list of those who would have this throne is long, but the prince is the only one I fear.
You ask me, that kid needs a serious time-out.
It is not his fault.
After his mother passed away, he changed.
She passed away last year.
Gyula blames me for her death.
So what do you want us to do? I don't think we're equipped to fight an entire war for you.
You're more than sufficiently equipped for my purpose.
Taking care of Dr.
Viktor.
Quite so.
All clear.
Wait! Security grid.
Big chill! Cool tech.
Don't miss the forest for the trees.
Dr.
Viktor.
Or what's left of him.
I wonder what did this to him.
When I dumped him in the null void, he was still alive.
Seriously.
Intruder alert.
Just once I'd like to sneak in and out of someplace without a fight.
If we had a teleporter pod Oh, give it a rest, will you? I'm not paying for that.
Guys? Dr.
Viktor is melting.
Not if I can help it.
Gwen, take out the zombies' headpieces.
They look like remote-control units.
I'm not even gonna ask how you know that.
I think that's best.
I thought he was dead.
Doesn't really seem to be making a difference.
He's an empty shell Existing only to do my will.
Destroy them! How did I know he was going to say that? Ultimate big chill.
Your turn.
No.
No! Ultimate big chill: You had no right, gyula.
I had every right.
I control the creature, and therefore, your kingdom.
Son, what are you doing? What I should have done long ago take my rightful place as regent of zarkovia.
Guys? Okay.
Guess it's up to me.
Perhaps I can help.
King Xarion? The prince usurped my throne and left me here to rot in my own dungeon.
Not gonna happen.
Let me get you out of those shackles.
Thank you, my dear.
That's about all I can muster with these power inhibitors.
But now that you're free, you can get us loose, and now that I am free, and Tennyson is helpless, I can complete the plan I've had ever since I saw that creature.
I don't understand.
What are you doing? Some of the military remains loyal to the king.
The coast is clear, my liege.
Take him to the laboratory.
Wait! You can't leave us here! Once you hear what I've done, you'll thank me for leaving you here.
What did I miss? "Feeble," am I? My time has passed, has it? Ah! This is the one.
Soon, the people will once again fear the power of the king.
What are you doing?! Stay back! The timing is critical! You think you can take control of my monster?! Pathetic old man! Your father! He He's gone.
A formality.
The king I knew, the man of strength, the warrior, has been gone for years.
That's a horrible thing to say.
Can you hear me, from the fiery abyss in which you hopefully now reside? It is prince gyula Xarion who finally takes his place as the one true king of zarkovia.
And there is no one to stand in my way.
"No one"? I wouldn't say that.
The king.
Somehow he's inside that creature.
Impossible.
To the contrary.
Nothing's impossible for king Viktor! Not bad for a "feeble old man whose time has passed," wouldn't you say? Please! You're hurting him! I know.
You thought I was weak, that I'd gone soft on the rebels, but I was biding my time, until I could take over this body.
Now I have the power to rule this land with an iron fist.
But before I begin making the rebels suffer, one final act of mercy.
You may live so that you can know the truth.
You were never a match for your father.
Gyula! Yes.
Give him what comfort you can.
When next we meet, he will be charged with treason against the crown.
Today you and your kind will pay the ultimate price for your treason! Another tank? Bring a hundred! I'm fresh out of tanks, your heinie.
But I am bringing the heat! Gwen! You're running out of allies, Tennyson.
I don't need any help to take you down.
Had enough? I've barely begun! Tur-bo! No! No! This is for shooting me in the back.
And for making me miss out on a sweet pre-owned teleporter pod.
Will you punch him already? Thank you for your assistance.
I'll take over from here.
I don't think so, junior.
You would challenge me? No.
We're done here.
We can take these guys.
There's only Too many of them.
Not the point.
If king Viktor's a bad guy, who are we here to help? I don't know.
The rebels? How do we know they're better than anyone else? Fine.
We take king Viktor to the null void, and never set foot here again.
What? We can't do that either?! Plumbers can only arrest aliens.
Dr.
Viktor's an alien! But king Viktor is the rightful monarch of zarkovia.
We don't have any legal authority.
What are you gonna do with him? Hang him, then set my cyborgs loose to do their work.
In a month, there will be no rebel resistance.
Yeah.
Not super comfortable with that.
Give that back! Destroy him! Thanks! Hadn't really thought it through, had you? I prefer to say I trusted in your initiative.
Cease fire, you dolts! What do you intend to do with that? Even up the odds.
I shut off the prince's mind-control device.
Since I don't understand local politics, I thought I'd leave it up to you to pick sides.
Good luck with the uprising.
Tennyson.
Present! Mock me while you can, but you've made a terrible enemy this day.
I will be free, and I will regain my throne.
You've embarrassed me, Tennyson.
He probably will.
The competition's looking a little weak.
Never thought I'd say it, but this guy makes me nostalgic for the old Dr.
Viktor.
Think you can get the rustbucket airborne? If he can't, I will.
If we had a teleporter pod, it wouldn't be a problem.
But? The weapon our soldiers found I fear that if we activate it, we won't be able to control it.
