Fear Me is the fourth episode of Ben 10: A New Hero. It aired on 6/11/2016.

Plot
[The Rust Bucket is driving past a neighborhood and into a parking lot for a circus. Gwen is on her laptop, reading an article while listening to some music. Ben is impatiently tapping his feet, a nervous expression crossing his face.]

(Grandpa Max): Something bothering you?

(Ben): No, I'm just bored.

(Grandpa Max): You sure? Because you don't have to go to the circus if you don't want to.

(Ben): Really? Sweet!

(Grandpa Max): Is it because you're afraid of clowns?

(Ben): [Looks down at his Omnitrix] No... Okay, fine. I am afraid of clowns.

(Gwen): [Is listening to the conversation] Hah! What a dweeb! Clowns? [Stretches her eye-lids and sticks out her tongue] Am I scaring you?

(Ben): I'm scared of your ugly face!

(Grandpa Max): Hey! Stop. It's okay, Ben. I used to be afraid of heights and now I've managed to overcome my fear.

[They're all exiting the RV and are in front of the Circus. They all enter, Ben still nervous. They all sit down in the middle section of the stand. Lights turn on, focusing on the clown in the center. The clown is on a unicycle, juggling a bunch of balls.]

(Ben): [Nervous] Ah... Cou-could I leave?

(Grandpa Max): Sure, kiddo.

[Ben leaves the circus, looking back to see the clown who is now staring at Ben with a creepy smile. He turns away and runs as fast as he can, eventually reaching a small town. He immediately spots a trio of olive-skinned people robbing a bank. Ben quickly dials an alien and smacks the Omnitrix, turning into Wildmutt.]

(Circus Freak Trio #1): Hey? Who is this dog? [Is bitten on the leg] Youch!

[A muscular looking circus freak smacks Wildmutt into a pole, knocking him away with ease. Wildmutt gets back up, scratching the strong circus freak in the chest.]

(Circus Freak Trio #3): Struggling with a dog?

(Circus Freak Trio #2): Wouldn't be talking if I were you, Acid Breath!

(Acid Breath): Okay then, I won't, Thumbskull! [Shoots out acid from his mouth at Wildmutt]

[Wildmutt dodges quickly only to get tackled into the ground by Thumbskull. The two wrestle, Thumbskull proving to be too powerful. Wildmutt quickly transforms into Four Arms, who knocks Thumbskull out with a sound clap.]

(Four Arms): Who else wants a piece of me?

(Acid Breath): All you'll have left of yourself is a piece! [Runs at Four Arms, shooting out acid]

[Four Arms jumps back, creating a sonic wave with his sound clap. It sends Acid Breath straight into Fright Wig, everyone now in a pile.]

(Four Arms/Ben): Don't mess with me. [Reverts back to human form]

[The scene changes back to the Circus Freak Trio talking to a clown back at the circus. The audience is now in a zombie-like state, almost dying from having all of their energy sucked out of them.]

(Acid Breath): I'm telling you! He can transform into aliens and isn't afraid of anything!

(Clown): Anything, you say?

(Fright Wig): That boy sure seems to be tough, Zombozo.

(Zombozo): We'll see about that.

[Ben is walking back into the circus, shocked to see the sight in front of him. He looks over to Zombozo and suddenly turns pale.]

(Zombozo): Young boy.. [Walks over to Ben slowly] Aren't you scared in the slightest?

(Ben): [Gulps] No-nope.

(Zombozo): Not even of me?

(Ben/XLR8): I know I'm scared of your ugly face! [Transforms into XLR8]

[XLR8 runs around in a circle, surrounding Zombozo. He creates a tornado, lifting Zombozo from the ground. XLR8 gets a headache, almost running into a stand. He drops onto the ground, fainted.]

(Zombozo): Told you boys.

[XLR8 gets back up, transforming into Ghostfreak.]

(Ghostfreak): Ah, this guy. Oh well. [Turns to Zombozo and links thoughts with each other]

[The scene changes to Zombozo trying to run away from Ghostfreak, who teleports over to him. Ghostfreak exits Zombozo's mind, leaving him weak and paralyzed. The audience restores their health fully.]

(Ghostfreak): Ah, even that scared me. [Mumbles] That was.. different than usual with Ghostfreak.

[Ghostfreak reverts back to human form, Ben running over to Grandpa Max and giving him a wide hug.]

(Ben): I miss you, Grandpa Max.

(Grandpa Max): I miss you too.
