Bound

(Albedo is sleeping in a dim lighted room, next to the Communications Room. Creeking noises are heard.)

ALBEDO: Hm?

(Albedo get's out from his bed, and looks around.)

ALBEDO: Who's there?

(Suddenly, the roof of the room tears apart, and above appears to be Ben Tennyson, gigantic in size.)

ALBEDO: Tennyson!? How---

(Before he could react, Ben raises his foot up and slams it down towards Albedo.)

GAH!!

(Albedo wakes up, realizing it was just a dream.)

(Inside the communication center. Albedo is eating breakfast. The Envoy appears on his imaging system.)

ENVOY: You seem restless, Albedo.

ALBEDO: I'm fine.

ENVOY: No, you are not. You must of had another nightmare.

ALBEDO: I didn't get enough sleep.

ENVOY: Don't lie to me Albedo, your allowing your hatred against Tennyson get the best of you.

ALBEDO: You said I would get my revenge against Ben, why haven't you given me my chance yet?

ENVOY: It is obvious that you are not ready yet. Considering your recent behavior and your...nightmares.

ALBEDO: How much longer am I supposed to wait?

ENVOY: In time Albedo, in time.

(Galvan Prime)

AZMUTH: He's alive?

KEVIN: Yep.

BEN: From what we were able to find, Vilgax used the array to attack the planet.

GWEN: But what's so odd, is that Vilgax isn't the hit and run type. He'd usually have an invasion force.

BEN: Are you saying Vilgax wasn't the one that attacked Galvan Prime?

AZMUTH: Even with all of these assumptions, we must be wary.

BEN: We'll be ready!

???: That may not be the case.

(Suddenly, a tall figure wearing a lab coat appears out of thin air.)

BEN: Professor Paradox?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Indeed it is.

GWEN: What are you doing here?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: I have come to tell you all that there are more pressing matters at hand. The attack on Galvan Prime was nothing more than a diversion, to keep you occupied for a time.

BEN: Was Vilgax the one who attacked the planet?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: No, he had nothing to do any of this.

KEVIN: So, he could still be dead?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Worrying about Vilgax is the least of your problems right now.

GWEN: If Vilgax had nothing to do with this, then who?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Albedo.

AZMUTH: Impossible!

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Nothing is impossible Azmuth, for someone of your league, you're quite skeptical of many things.

BEN: Why would he want to attack his homeworld, and frame Vilgax?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Albedo is working with someone. Unfortunately, I have no idea who though.

KEVIN: Aren't you a time traveler? Shouldn't you know these kinds of things?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: All that I know is that whoever Albedo is working with, is extremely cunning and dangerous, the entire universe may be at stake because of it.

GWEN: What do you want us to do?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Be prepared for the worst. There will come a time where Albedo (and whoever he's working for) may revel themselves. When that times comes, I have a feeling that everything will be vulnerable to chaos. Even I might not be able to stop it.

BEN: Then We'll just go and find Albedo, and make him lead us to whoever he's working for!

PROFESSOR PARADOX: That's exactly what he want's you to do, making you overconfident is just going to make their job easier.

KEVIN: So what, we just stand around while he causes more trouble?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: I want you to return to Earth, when the time comes, I will notify you again. Besides, Earth need's their celebrity.

BEN: I'll take your word for it.

(When everyone leaves, Azmuth is suddenly whisked away out of the room.)

(Comunications Room)

AZMUTH: What's going on here? Where am I?

ENVOY: You are far away from that rock you call your world.

AZMUTH: Release me at once!

ENVOY: I don't think so Azmuth. Don't worry, you won't be harmed.

AZMUTH: How do you my name?

ENVOY: Oh, we have met before, just not in this kind of context.

AZMUTH: What do you want with me?

ENVOY: I wanted to talk to you. I understand you discovered that your former assistant, Albedo, is alive.

AZMUTH: How would you know that?

ENVOY: I know many things my little friend, many things. You've changed Azmuth, you have grown old and naive in such a short time. I guess Galvans aren't smart enough as they claim.

AZMUTH: Are you the one working with Albedo?

ENVOY: Albedo serves me. Quite well in fact, although he has some...issues.

AZMUTH: So your the one that ordered him to attack my world! Why?

ENVOY: To see how you would react, to see who you would call to aid you in such a crisis. Since you called Ben and his friends to help you, it showed me that you were quite agitated for someone that claims that he is the smartest being in the universe. That shows how much you have declined over the years. Your race is faltering, slowly, but it is faltering.

AZMUTH: I have done so much over these years! How dare you accuse me of being declinging. You don't seem to be brave enough to face against us directly, you coward!

ENVOY: DON'T....CALL ME A COWARD!

(The room shakes for a moment, then settles down. The Envoy finds his composure.)

ENVOY: I....have been though so much! I have done more than what you puny microbes have done in thousands of years! I'm done with you!

(Azmuth finds himself back on his planet, still shaken at what he just experienced.)
