Past Proof



(Ben, Gwen, and Kevin are eating at Burger Shack late in the afternoon. Listening to the news.)

GWEN: Glad that Haragune isn't pestering you anymore?

BEN: You have no idea.

GWEN: Sure I do, you're my cousin.

KEVIN: Um, hello. I'm not the only one that knows how you feel. Anyway, you should of taken him down when you had the chance.

BEN: I know, but he doesn't deserve to die, being humiliated without his show and beaten seems fair enough. I think he's learned his lesson well, no doubt he's deserted Bellwood for good.

KEVIN: Something does't make sense though, it's odd how the Envoy would want Haragune captured or dead. Wouldn't he want him to continue his spree of propaganda?

BEN: I don't have the slightest idea why.

BURGER SHACK PARKING LOT

(A bright flash appears next to the group, Professor Paradox steps outwards.)

BEN: Professor Paradox! What are you doing here?

KEVIN: Uh Oh. You must be in trouble Tennyson.

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Indeed, but not with me. There has been a distrubence in the timeline.

GWEN: What kind of disturbance are we talking about?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Albedo's benefactor, you know as the Envoy, has sent out some of his soilders to disrupt your past, Ben.

BEN: Where-- I mean, when did they go to?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Remember when you were trapped in the dream world Enoch created, so that he could remove the Omnitrix?

BEN: Yeah, I do remember. Gwen stomped my foot that one time.

PROFESSOR PARADOX: From what I can tell, the Envoy is trying to join Enoch to his cause, for what reason is unknown.

GWEN: Shouldn't you know why?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: I've been experencing some...diffulties, but I can assure you they are not serious. What matters is that Enoch must not inform The Forever King Driscoll about the Envoy, otherwise the timeline will be containminated.

BEN: If Enoch knows about the Envoy, isn't the timeline already messed up?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: When Enoch is trapped in the dreamworld, it will take him a long time for him to recover from the experience, if he does inform anyone about the Envoy after the experence, they should dismiss it as a side effect.

KEVIN: So, who's all going?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Ben will go. The fewer the better.

GWEN: How long will this take?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: From your point of view, we'll be back as soon as we leave. When your ready Ben.

FOREVER KNIGHT FACILITY (2006)

BEN: So...what exactly am I supposed to do?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Stop the Envoy and Enoch from interacting with eachother, the sooner the better. It would be best to keep a low profile.

BEN: How many soldiers did the Envoy bring?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: Just two, they guard the room where he is projected.

BEN: So, the Envoy isn't actually here?

PROFESSOR PARADOX: No, he is not. Anyway, once you have completed your mission. You will be sent back to the present.

(Professor Paradox vanishes)

BEN: Low profile, got it.

"NANOMECH!"

(Ben flies down towards the interior of the base, where he finds his younger self being strapped onto the dream machine.)

ENOCH: Excellent, begin the removal of the Omnitrix. I will enter shortly.

(Ben follows Enoch towards the next room, where the Envoy stands across the other side, two of his soilders are guarding the communications console.) 

ENVOY: You need to finish it now! You don't understand how dangerous he is!

ENOCH: I can go at my own pace! Do not forgot who is in charge here, and who is merely a visitor.

ENVOY: I've given you the means to victory, I suggest you use it now! Don't fail me Enoch.

(As the Envoy vanishes, he turns his head towards Nanomech. Enoch heads back towards the dream machine)

ENOCH: Strap me up. I expect you to be quick about it.

NANOMECH: Okay, let's do this.

(Ben swoops down towards the controls, but the guards notice him and try to step on him.

*THOOM*

NANOMECH: Missed me!

*THOOM*

 * THOOM*

 (Ben swoops up and shoots one guard down. The other one shoots Ben, he falls to the ground.)

NANOMECH: Agghh!

(The other solider lifts his foot up, about to crush Ben.)

*ZAP*

 (Ben manages to hit the soilder, knocking him out.)

NANOMECH: Phew, that was rough.

(Ben goes inside the communications console, sabotaging it from the inside. Enoch get's up from his dream device.)

ENOCH: Quickly, get that thing off before he awakes!

NANOMECH: I'm running out of time! Come on!

(Sparks come flying out of the console.)

NANOMECH: Time to go!

(Ben get's to a safe distance, while Enoch tries to contact the Envoy.)

ENOCH: Envoy. Envoy!

(The Envoy barely flickers into focus, his image is faint.)

ENOCH: I almost have the Omnitrix but the boy is almost awake, I need more time from you!

ENVOY: Yo--u--...f-ail--e--d....m--m-e---e.......N-o-o-t....A-lon---e.

ENOCH: I haven't failed you please, I can't lose now. Please! Driscoll will have me--

ENVOY: Y--o-u...Sh-a--l-l....be...d-i--s--gra--ced.

(The Envoy vanishes once more, and the room explodes. Enoch races towards one of his robots and grabs it.)

ENOCH: This time, I will not fail!

(Young Ben wakes up and takes down Enochs Robots.)

YOUNG BEN: Dream on!

BURGER SHACK: PRESENT TIME

(Professor Paradox and Ben appear in front of Kevin and Gwen.)

KEVIN: Everything work out ok?

BEN: Yeah, everything worked out fine. Too bad I couldn't relive the moment I was in during that time.

PROFESSOR PARADOX: But you secured the timeline, for now. The Envoy will continue to find ways to alter things to his own purposes, even if it means damaging the fabric of---AGHHH!!

 (Professor Paradox is enveloped in a red flash. Once everything clears, his face is scarred, his right eye is completely white.)

BEN: Paradox! Your face!

PROFESSOR PARADOX: It's just a...occupational hazard, I'm afraid. I'll be fine. What matters, is that Driscoll did not know about the Envoy, otherwise the consequences would be catastrophic. Instead, Enoch's life is a cautionary tale, forever disgraced by his loss.
