Ben 10: Ultimate Alien s02e17 Episode Script
Double or Nothing
You gonna eat that? I got stopped by some fans.
How long does it take to sign a couple of autographs? Hey, it's the least I could do for my adoring public.
You mean your paying public.
My what? My what? Experience the excitement! Share the adventure! See the world's greatest hero it's "Ben 10 live"! Hey, Tennyson, looks Hey, Tennyson, looks like you got your own show.
it's just wrong.
Pretending to be you in a stage show for money? Sure is -- unless they pay you.
Right? I mean, no.
I mean, aren't there laws about this -- facial copyright or something? According to their website, this show sells out everywhere it plays.
People are driving Miles to see you.
So? Kind of seems like a compliment.
Compliment? Did you see that guy's hair? Okay, nice work on Okay, nice work on the priorities.
Has it started? No.
However, we just closed the doors.
May I see your tickets? Hello? Don't mind him.
He's had a long flight.
We'll take three, please.
Impossible.
It's sold out.
GoRight in.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Nemesis towers resort celebrity theater and to tonight's special presentation of Bentravaganza! Attention, earthlings.
I am Vilgax the conqueror, here on my moon base, on the moon.
Surrender, or I shall destroy you! Moon base? Yeah.
I hear it's on the moon.
Not so fast, Vilgax.
Nobody is destroying anything! So says I, Ben Tennyson! Time for you to chill out, Vilgax.
Vilgax.
I can't get out.
Vilgax is kind of a feeb, but the rest of them are pretty good.
No, they aren't.
Come on.
Even you have to admit this is kind of awesome.
You are trapped, Ben Tennyson.
You cannot save yourself! Well, in that case, I had better call for a little help From the Gwenettes! That is so wrong! Um, exactly what I was thinking.
Anything, we find out all the facts.
Since when did you become the voice of reason? Since you two became theater critics.
Okay.
Now I'm perfectly calm.
I don't see what you're so sore about.
You're so sore about.
I'm not even in the show.
This is a private -- ooh.
Real Ben Tennyson? Uh-huh.
Not happy about the show? Unh-Unh.
I got to go.
We've got some business We've got some business to discuss.
Ben Tennyson.
We meet again.
What do you think you're doing?! I was about to go out for some chili fries.
Care to join me? I mean, what are you doing with this show? Truth be told, I'm making the best of a bad situation.
Thanks to you, I have no Ultimatrix and hence no way to fly myself away from this sad little planet your actions stranded me upon.
Worst of all, I'm trapped in this repulsive human form! And since I needed some way to earn a living I realized that the most fitting, if ironic, choice would be to make money off of you, so I created "Ben 10 live.
" Well, you just had your last curtain call.
The show's over.
And disappoint my fans? Whatever.
Ah! Hey! Shut that thing off.
I'm going after albedo.
On it! I thought you said you didn't have an Ultimatrix.
Yeah.
So? So if you don't have an Ultimatrix, how did you change into Swampfire? Huh.
Uh, that's, uh None of your business! Waterhazard! I changed again.
I changed again.
Now I'm a different creature! NRG! Got to do better than that, albedo.
Really? Really.
Really.
Wait.
Time-out.
Bring it on.
Ultimate Spidermonkey: Ultimate Spidermonkey! What'd we miss? Albedo just played a collection of his greatest hits.
But I thought he said -- Yeah.
No Ultimatrix.
Plus, he was really easy to beat.
I'm not finished yet.
I'm not finished yet.
Wait till I get my second wind.
Not counting us and albedo, I'm sensing three more life forms.
You two have a look around.
Two have a look around.
I'm gonna chat with albedo.
How's it hanging? Would you mind letting me down? I have a major fear of heights.
Also of falling and bruising.
You know what, albedo? You don't sound much like yourself.
Ah, yes.
Well, um, I'm sure there's a, you know, reasonable explanation.
Look who we found.
And that would be it.
Explanations? Ow.
As I mentioned, I was broke and I was stranded.
But I did have an old subspace communicator.
So I used it to find performers who would lend my show a certain verisimilitude.
Next! What you see here are the winners, such as they are.
This Ultimatrix is just an overgrown strobe light.
Between that and the smoke, he blinded the audience long enough to cover the aliens' entrances and exits.
So, you've been going around the country, doing this act for Ever since I escaped from Vilgax's ship.
Every second-rate resort, sales convention, and county fair.
In one night, out the next.
But now you're gonna stop, right? What, and give up show business? Oh, I am so going to clobber you! Oh, but what's the point? "What's the point?" I'll tell you what's the point! How many times has albedo stolen the Omnitrix or the Ultimatrix or kidnapped you or, might I add, tried to kill me?! And -- and now here he is again, ripping me off, using my face to fool people and steal their money with this ridiculous dog-and-phony show! Feel better? A little.
Ben, if you want to shut down "Ben 10 live," fine.
My dad's a lawyer.
Let him handle it.
Yeah, but -- I don't like him, either, but albedo isn't a threat anymore.
He's a nuisance.
You needn't worry.
Tonight was our last performance.
What?! B-but what about -- I said we're done.
All right.
But try anything like this again, and I'll -- I'll -- See you in court.
- See you in court.
- Yeah! That! Major beatdown.
Why waste the energy? End of story.
Wait for me! Doing? Trying to catch up.
Parenthetically, I am not much of an athlete.
I came to warn you about Albedo's real plan.
He's selling toys and t-shirts? I'm serious! Albedo wasn't just raising money for rent.
H-he's been slowly buying parts and equipment so he can build a doomsday bomb.
Doomsday bomb? Yes! And -- and -- and he's gonna set and -- and -- and he's gonna set it off tonight! Why do bad guys always have their hideouts in a warehouse? Do they get a discount? Could we focus here? Albedo is building a doomsday bomb.
But why blow up the world? Because that's what doomsday bombs do? No, think for a second.
If Albedo's stuck on earth, what does he gain from destroying it? It doesn't make sense.
I-I didn't say, "destroy.
" A-actually, what he's got planned is even crazier.
Th-th-the bomb is designed to, uh, rewrite DNA.
So -- so everyone in the whole world will be a genetic duplicate of Ben Tennyson.
- Duplicate of Ben Tennyson.
- That's horrifying.
What's that? That's, uh, to protect him from the bomb's face-altering radiation.
Hold on.
He already looks like Ben, so why protect himself -- No time for a debate, Gwen.
We have to stop albedo -- now! Back away from the bomb.
Ben, would you wait a second? No.
Hold them off.
Hold them off.
This suit is designed to protect against radiation and heat.
I did not know that.
Kevin, where are you? Kevin, where are you? Hey, whose side are you on? Actually, that's kind of complicated.
Well, let me know when you figure it out.
Careful! I-I'm a bleeder! I-I'm a bleeder! Spidermonkey! Better yet Ultimate Spidermonkey: Ultimate Spidermonkey! Everything! Yeah.
Yeah.
That's sort of the plan.
Have to do this the hard way.
Have to do this the hard way.
Something.
- Something.
- Like take bets? You're not going anywhere.
You're not going anywhere.
Uh-oh.
Where's albedo? There! Huh? The genetic-alteration field worked, in spite of your meddling.
I don't need an Ultimatrix anymore.
Dude, you're cured! That's great! Now I can alter my DNA at will.
I'm ready for anything you can throw at me.
Why would I throw anything at you? I'm no longer trapped in your hideous human form.
I'm free of you at last! Wait, you're not gonna attack us? No.
I'm getting off this backwater planet while the getting is good.
With any luck, I will never see your hideous face ag the mirror or in person.
Still trying to catch up.
So, you're saying that wasn't a doomsday bomb? A what? A doomsday bomb.
That was going to make everyone on earth look like me? Okay, now that I say it out loud, it does sound kind of stupid.
I get it.
The thing on your chest was -- Designed to focus the genetic-alteration field on me specifically.
- Specifically.
- Of course it was.
No! No! It can't be! You imbecile! The Ultimatrix must have interfered with the alteration field.
So now whatever I turn into, I'll always change backTo this! It's all my fault, albedo.
I-I brought them here.
Why would you do that? Back home, I'm a nothing.
But here on earth, I-I'm kind of a celebrity.
At least I closely resemble a celebrity.
Most importantly, I had friends, especially you.
That's why I told Ben Tennyson, so he would stop you, so you wouldn't leave.
I don't blame you, Hugh.
I blame you! You did this to me! It's always you! Echo echo! Ah! Ultimate echo echo.
By the way, I like the sound-wave grenade you used at the theater.
Want to see my version? Aah! You want him? He's all yours.
But he's not going to be very happy when he wakes up.
That's okay.
I'll take care of him.
I'll take care of him.
He's my friend.
Friends.
Tell me about it.
Tell me about it.
Seriously, I-I want to hear.
Little nuts about that whole show thing.
A little? Okay, a lot.
I guess if you want to be a world-famous hero, you got to give up some stuff -- like privacy.
And sleep.
The one good thing to come out of this is I'll never have to hear about "Ben 10 live" again.
Mr.
Tennyson? Yes? On behalf of the owners of the Nemesis resort hotel, I'd the Nemesis resort hotel, I'd like to present you with this.
A summons.
We're suing you for the damage you caused to our theater.
But -- but -- see you in court.
Is your dad home? Is your dad home? I think I'm gonna need a lawyer.
How long does it take to sign a couple of autographs? Hey, it's the least I could do for my adoring public.
