Tangled is episode 1.07 of BTO.

Episode
Desert sand whipped over the Sahara. The sun beat down hard on the ground. A wisp of wind blew sand over a shattered ID mask. The sand shifted. Gwen got out from under the sand.

“Ben? Kevin?” Gwen mumbled. She looked around, “Where are we?”

Gwen stubbed her toe on something. She looked down and swept away the sand off of a hard surface. It is covered in Egyptian hieroglyphs and in the middle an Omnitrix symbol and under it, an Infinity symbol.

Gwen’s eyes widened.

An outline around all of the hieroglyphs shaped a silhouette of an old enemy.

The mummy.

Theme song plays.

Gwen sifted around through the sand until she found Ben and Kevin. She shook them both awake.

“Ben! Kevin! Wake up!” Gwen yelled.

“But Mom… I don’t want to go to school…” Ben mumbled.

“It’s me, Ben!” Gwen yelled.

Ben and Kevin sat up, sleepily. They looked around.

“Gwen…” Kevin yawned.

“Where are we?” Ben finished.

“I don’t know. I’m guessing Egypt.”

“Uhh… Why?” Kevin asked, standing up.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">She walked over to the stone, “Ben would know what this is.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ben stumbled over to the stone.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“That’s the mummy, right?” Ben asked

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Or another of its species,” Kevin countered.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Maybe. I’ll try to sense its manna.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Gwen kneeled and put her hand on the tomb entrance. A purple-pink bolt of manna flew from her hand, sending Gwen flying backward.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Gwen!” Kevin and Ben cried out. They ran to Gwen.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Gwen got up, “I’m fine.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">She flexed her fingers, “Something blocking my manna. Weird.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Talk about weird,” Ben said, fiddling with the Omnifinity, “The watch isn’t working.” Ben slapped down on the watch nothing happened.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“I’m guessing it has to do with that,” Kevin pointed at the rock slab.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“What’ll we do? It’s a rock slab.” Ben asked.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Kevin rolled his eyes. “We destroy it. Duh,” Kevin struck his arms together to shoot a laser. Nothing happened.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ben kneeled down, “I wonder how this thing works.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ben put his fingers on the stone. The hieroglyphs glowed purple and segments started braking apart and creating a message: Hello, Benjamin Tennyson.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">The ground shook. The stone slab flew out of the ground and rising out from underneath it was the mummy.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“I rise!” The mummy yelled.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Umm… If I remember correctly, you couldn’t talk when we were ten,” Ben said.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“I have learned since you and your pathetic sidekicks destroyed my lord, Zs’Skayr. Now it is time for you to die!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Not on my watch! Literally!” Ben slapped the Omnifinity. It still wasn’t working.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“COME ON!” Ben yelled and then jumped out of the way of the mummy’s fingers.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Gwen tried to kick the mummy in the head, but a giant pillar of sand engulfed her and pulled her into the ground.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Gwen!” Ben and Kevin yelled. Ben hit his watch. Still not working. Kevin tried a more effective approach- he punched the mummy in the stomach.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">The mummy’s chest opened up, full of corrodium. He shot a corrodium laser at Kevin, sending Kevin flying.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">The mummy turned to Ben, “How are you not effected!?!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Ummmm… My watch?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Then I’ll have to take it off!” The mummy sent his finger tendrils at the Omnifinity. His fingers wrapped around the Omnifinity. Blue electricity sparked around the Omnifinity.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">There is a blue flashed of light around Ben.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Benmummy!” Ben yelled, “Much better!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Impossible! The stone!” The mummy screamed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Strangely, Benmummy’s Omnitrix symbol was blue.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Benmummy shot his fingers at the mummy.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">The mummy laughed, “Fool!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">The mummy shot a corrodium laser at Benmummy. Benmummy went flying a few yards.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Benmummy sat up groggily, “What the…”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Goodbye Tennyson” The mummy sent another corrodium laser flying. It hit Benmummy and there was a blue flash of light.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Concrete!” Ben called out. Concrete’s Omnitrix symbol is also blue.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Concrete turned his hands into swords and ran towards the flabbergasted mummy. Concrete cut off the mummy’s arm. The mummy’s arm suddenly wrapped around Concrete.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Even in your pathetic Osmosian form I can still destroy you!” Mummy sneered.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Or not,” Concrete replied. Concrete’s wings started flapping wildly. It cut the mummy’s arm to pieces.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“No!” The mummy wailed. Concrete jumped up and cut off the mummy’s head.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“That does not change anything, Tennyson,” The mummy’s headless body started attacking Concrete. Concrete sliced off the mummy’s legs and arm. The limbs tried to capture him. Concrete cut them to pieces.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Concrete’s hand turned into a spike mace, “I will beat you!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Concrete pounded the mummy’s head into the ground. The mummy smiled, which is kind of creepy, because he didn’t have a mouth. Sand engulfed all of the mummy’s parts. A giant pillar of sand rose out of the ground. The sand sank into the ground, revealing the mummy in one piece.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“You have only weakened me, Benjamin Tennyson. Soon I, Sesmar II, will find Dr. Viktor and the Yenaldooshi and Zs’Skayr will rise again!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">The mummy glowed purple and disappeared. Gwen suddenly pulled herself out of the sand, coughing.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Gwen! You okay?” Ben asked.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Yeah,” Gwen stood up, “Just need some space.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Okay,” Ben said as Gwen walked away. Ben stared at the spot where the mummy disappeared.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Kevin walked up behind him, “So, who’s Zs’Skayr?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Dunno. I’m guessing Ghostfreak.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“He does know Viktor is dead, right?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“We’ll find out, eventually. By the way, how were you not affected by the Corrodium?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Osmosians are immune to Corrodium.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">There is a long silence.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Suddenly, Gwen’s voice rang out, “What’s that?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ben and Kevin turned around looked at where Gwen was pointing.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ben looked up at the alien aircraft, “That’s… Ship.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ship landed in front of Ben and Co. and the entrance hatch opened, revealing Darkstar.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Darkstar?” Ben asked, surprised.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Hello, Ben. We need your help.”
