Hey, this episode is one of 31 classic episodes and 6 Shorts converted from a legacy style to a more clearly readable and consistent format/style using a Python script. The script is not absolutely perfect, and I'm continuing to try to squash any weird formatting bugs that occur. If you spot one, please let me know in the comments or on my page! -COLOR (Wall) |
[We open with a view of a digital clock, with a fairly dim blue LED light being emitted from it. It displays 3:33 am. We pan just to the left of the clock to find ourselves looking at something on the clock's perch, a wooden desk. This object begins to glow and vibrate, revealing itself to be a phone. It's grabbed by a hand offscreen to the left. We pan out and find Ben Tennyson lying in his dark room in the middle of the night, now holding his phone up to his face while under his white sheets.]
Ben blinks his eyes wide open. He throws his covers off of him and sits at the edge of his bed, revealing himself to be in a white t-shirt and underwear.
He pulls his phone away from his face and presses End. He then lays his phone down on his desk once more. He gets up onto his feet and stretches. He walks over to his closet and finds a pair of jeans.
He pops the Assault Omnitrix's tower up and immediately smacks down.
He turns around to face the window. He pulls the window up then steps back. He pulls his frisbee off of his back and launches it out of the window and a bit into the sky. After it has made it outside, he teleports to on top of the frisbee and shuts the window as the frisbee continues to glide away as it had been thrown. It eventually stops somewhere in the air, at which point Frisbit gains control of the frisbee's direction. He looks around for downtown Bellwood, only about a mile from his location. He spots Sii's large snake transformation in the distance.
[We move to downtown Bellwood where Gwen, and Kevin are battling the snake-formed Sii. For a moment during battle, everyone stops and simply looks up at Sii. She swings at everyone, but they manage to dodge the attack by simply leaping over the massive snake arm. A figure lowers into view on a circular hoverboard in front of Sii, the source of her opponents' distraction.]
She swings down at Frisbit with her left arm, Frisbit avoiding the attack by weaving around Sii's arm and arriving on her head. He leaps off of his frisbee and lays it onto Sii's head. He rides the back of her scaly body down to the ground and joins his team.
Sii throws out both of her arms in an attempt to swing down at Frisbit. While Frisbit's team moves aside, he stays front and center, grinning at Sii until finally, the frisbee sitting atop Sii's head is activated and sends a pulse across her body. It doesn't completely weaken her, but it does electrocute her. His teammates return to his side.
Sii begins to cry out in pain as she is hurt by the pulse of Frisbit's frisbee.
She takes a stance and points her hands at Sii. Her eyes begin to glow pink. The cube core deep within Sii's body flashes pink, a glow visible even beyond Sii's snake skin. Gwen relieves herself of her stance, and her eyes cease to glow. She drops her hands.
Frisbit stands still for a moment, facing Sii. He briefly turns his head back to Kevin and raises his eye in a way that mimics raising one's eyebrow. He then looks back to Sii. He teleports to atop his frisbee, where he grabs the object and replaces it on his back. Sii then attempts to knock him off her head, which Frisbit responds to by leaping in the air and transforming. Ben becomes a blue alien with a small amount of facial hair on his chin, a long head, eyes on his multi-colored ears, a costume with a large Omnitrix symbol, and green gel-like sacs with smaller dark green blobs floating inside them appearing atop silver shoulderpads on his shoulders as well as on his cheeks and either side of his waist.
Alkamine grabs the sacs from either cheek and tosses them onto Sii's snake head, still free-falling towards it after his leap as Frisbit and now regenerating his cheek sacs. Sii responds by crying out in pain.
Alkamine becomes straight-faced as he continues to fall. Feet away from landing on Sii's head, she looks up with an expression of anger, having halted her performance. She then becomes a much smaller transformation, one that sits at a 1:1 ratio in comparison to the size of what she's imitating: an evolved Arburian Pelarota. Alkamine continues to fall, with the evolved Arburian Pelarota Sii grabbing Alkamine as he does, wrapping him up inside her, and rolling off. Gwen unleashes a large blast of mana on Sii's shell, but the blast ricochets off of Sii's body, now heading for a random location in the heavens.
Kevin absorbs the ground and lunges just in front of Sii. He creates a mace with his hand which he uses to try and knock her back, but this, like Gwen's attack, does nothing. He jumps out of the way as Sii heads for him then expands his hands in size. He again lunges in Sii's way, and this time, tries to hold her off and even push her away.
She rolls ahead, squishing Kevin on the ground. After rolling over him, Kevin is flat on the ground. Mere moments later, his hands revert to their normal sizes, and the layer of asphalt he had absorbed fades to his human skin. From the inside, Sii begins to feel true pain. She releases Alkamine, who leaps out of Sii's hold. Sii drops onto her back in her form while Alkamine approaches her.
Sii smiles yet again, rolls up, and smacks Alkamine down the road. When that far away, she begins to head after him.
Alkamine grabs two of his sacs and tosses them at Sii in her evolved Arburian Pelarota form. Sii manages to avoid the onslaught by jumping and propelling her way into the air, now aiming to land on Alkamine. Alkamine continues to attempt to melt through Sii, but she absorbs most of of the attacks and regenerates any melted-through parts. Alkamine simply remains still after a point, watching as Sii transforms into a Tetramand and lands grabbing Alkamine's head with her upper left arm, then running with Alkamine's body into the brick exterior of a building and thrusting him deep into it. Sii lifts her hand to look at Alkamine.
She pulls back her right set of arms and prepares to swing at Alkamine, who even flinches as Sii screams while throwing her arm. But after a moment, Alkamine realizes a lack of pain. He looks out and finds Sii's right arms being held back by Gwen from a distance. Sii turns around.
Sii squints at Gwen, then grabs her own right set of arms using her left set and thrusts it down into the ground, forcing Gwen's grip to be released. As Gwen attempts to throw her mana over to catch Sii's arms again, she becomes a Talpaedan and drills deep into the ground. Gwen looks around fervently for her, quickly finding a hole being made on the surface close to her. She hovers into the air on a mana platform and watches as Talpaedan Sii breaks into the surface, grabs Kevin, tosses him in the air, and upon landing, thrusts his body into the ground. Gwen watches with widened eyes, with Talpaedan Sii stepping back to just next to Kevin.
Gwen begins to growl extremely audibly. She creates a large ball of mana in her hands then unleashes a long blast through it directly targeting Sii, pushing her into the wall of the building just next to the one Alkamine is shoved into. Gwen's Anodite side begins to take over and become visible over her human body.
Alkamine begins to step out of his area in the side of the building he was shoved into, healing quickly from his injuries.
Gwen does not respond, simply continuing to blast at Talpaedan Sii.
(she pushes Talpaedan Sii more into her wall)
Kevin is heard coughing now.
Gwen releases Talpaedan Sii, who now sits in the wall with only half of her disguise still in place--the other part of her body clearly showing her central cube. Gwen reverts to her human form and kneels over Kevin, while Alkamine walks over to in front of Sii. He prepares to simply rip out Sii's core, but she quickly regenerates the left side of her body.
He transforms into a humanoid rhinoceros with a single long horn. He gets down on all four and faces his horn to Sii's center. He blasts the horn off of his head and hits Sii right in her center. Her Talpaedan skin looks down to the horn in the center of her body as the rhinoceros alien gets up onto his legs once more.
The rhino alien yanks the horn out of Talpaedan Sii's center, with Sii's cube core attached to the end. Within a second, the Talpaedan skin still sitting in the wall is sucked into Sii's glowing blue heart. The heart ceases to glow. The rhinoceros alien separates the horn from Sii's heart, tossing his horn aside and walking over to Gwen with Sii's heart in hand. As he heads over to his cousin, the rhinoceros alien's horn regenerates.
Gwen looks up from Kevin to Sii in the rhino alien's hands.
Gwen points one hand at Sii's heart and sends a long mana beam at the heart. The beam soon turns into a ball that wraps around the heart. Gwen pulls it toward her, still hovering within the mana ball. She places it down on the ground. Kevin begins to fully come to, his eyes slowly opening.
He poses, flexing his muscles.
Kevin begins to get up onto his feet. Gwen helps him up. Kevin wraps his right arm around Gwen, who helps Kevin to stand up straight.
Brawnoceros reverts to human.
Ben's eye lids fly open.
Ben's eye lids fall to a standard position as Ben releases a sigh of relief.
Ben chuckles.
Gwen rolls her eyes then playfully pushes Ben with her right hand.
Kevin gives Ben a menacing stare, while Ben simply stares back with a smug grin. Meanwhile, the Plumber Humvee screeches to a stop just behind Gwen and Kevin, the Humvee's sides now facing Gwen and Kevin's back. All of the doors quickly open and shut as the four Plumbers within step out. Whereas three of the four of them wear revealing helmets and standard Plumber suits, the leader of their team steps out of the driver's seat with a pitch black helmet with a small purple visor just over the being within's eyes.
He weakly steps away from Gwen. He uses his injured right arm and hand to pull out from his right pocket and point his Plumber's badge at the four Plumbers. He holds up his right arm with his unharmed left arm and hand. After a moment, he pulls the badge back to him and looks at a hologram projected over it.
Kevin begins to scroll through the four files corresponding to the four Plumbers.
Kevin arrives at the fourth and final file from his scan, based on the lead Plumber.
Gwen picks up Sii's heart cube--her natural form, still held in a mana bubble. She then tosses it to the four Plumbers, with the Plumber just adjacent to Monty K catching the bubble. Monty K gestures for the bubble, does a quick analysis using purely what he sees, then hands it back to the Plumber who had caught it. He nods to the Ten Squad then returns to his driver's seat, the other three Plumbers reseating themselves in the Humvee and driving off. Gwen walks over to Kevin and continues to help him up.
He reaches into his left pocket and pulls out his keys. He tosses it to Gwen, who catches the keys in her right arm and hand, still helping Kevin to stand with the other. Kevin looks to Ben as he speaks.
He yawns.
Ben watches as Gwen and Kevin turn around and head for Kevin's car which is parked somewhat on the curb nearby on the right side of the road.
We watch as Ben smiles and rolls his eyes. He then pops up the Assault Omnitrix tower and smacks down on it, our entire field of view being replaced by the green glow that is shot out.
[As the glow fades away, we find ourselves back in Ben's dark bedroom, the door still open. For a moment, we watch as Frisbit trudges into the room, shutting the door behind him. He reverts to human then jumps into bed. We pan to the clock now reading 3:42 am, transitioning to 3:43 am, for a moment. We return to Ben, who has comfortably pulled the covers over his perfectly positioned body. His eyes shut. Only seconds later, his alarm bellows. Ben slowly opens his eyes and reaches his hand over to his clock, which we pan over to read off the time 7:00 am.]
Part II[]
[We open in front of Ben's house. The front door opens and Ben, book bag strapped onto his back, steps outside, holding onto the door as he speaks to his mother Sandra inside.]
He shuts the door and runs up to the DX Mark 10 parked on the curb at the end of the path from the door to the sidewalk.
(begins to rub his chin as he thinks)
He pops up the tower on the Omnitrix and scrolls past some of the aliens that appear: Combustiball, the titanium alien, Brawnoceros, and Alkamine. He arrives at Frisbit and smacks down on the tower.
He checks his back.
He pulls the frisbee off of his back and lays it on the floor. He steps onto it and takes off into the skies. He looks ahead, where just a few blocks away is his school. He receives a call on his Omnitrix, as indicated by the hourglass's flashing green indicator. He taps the symbol on his chest.
He comes up to the school, whizzing down past a large window on the second floor and landing in front of the main entrance. He reverts to human and begins to speak into his Omnitrix.
Gwen hangs up. Ben exhales deeply and steps through one of the four doors, which shuts on its own after entry. He enters into a long hallway with purple and lavender tiles on the floor and students lining either sides of the hall, each standing in front of a locker. Ben turns to his left and looks to two males wearing differently colored sweaters standing in front of a locker with one girl in front of each of them, one in cyanne and one in forest green. The one in cyanne stands a few inches than the one in forest green.
Ben runs over to the males, leading their friends to disperse.
Luke bends down a bit to whisper to Ben.
He transforms into Frisbit, already aboard his frisbee, attracting the attention of everybody in the area.
Mike and Luke jump onto the frisbee. Frisbit then blasts off to and up the staircase just to the right of the school's front entrance that leads to the second floor. Upon entering the second floor, Frisbit stops.
He dismounts the frisbee then crosses his arms.
Mike and Luke nod. They both face the other direction and lean forward on Frisbit's frisbee, beginning to take off down open sections of the hall. We follow them as they speed past students and teachers, knocking papers out of people's hands and scratching uncongested lockers. Mike and Luke finally reach the end of the hall, a three-way intersection with two possible exits: down the stairs to the first floor or to the right. They swiftly turn right, almost crashing into Mr. Kennedy who appears at the corner. They arrive at an extremely congested set of lockers in front of a locked classroom.
Mike and Luke's eyes widen. They look to each other and shrug, then step off.
There are a few moments of silence from Mike, Frisbit, and Luke, with the sound of conversation from the congested lockers beginning to overwhelm.
Frisbit suddenly fades into view on top of his frisbee, landing with his fist pounding onto his frisbee, facing opposite Mike and Luke. Frisbit turns around to face his friends.
Frisbit rolls his eyes then drops onto the floor, grabbing his frisbee and strapping it onto his back. He then walks up to Mike and Luke while partially facing the crowd of upperclassmen
Mike points to Frisbit's chest.
Almost everybody disperses, leaving only the triplets and two males to either side of them. While the tall male to the left of them wears a red sweater and jeans and is speaking to the triplets, the one on their right stands taller in a black suit and sunglasses and simply stands by the triplets. The triplets all stand with some attention on the male talking to them as well as Ben.
The male, Max, turns and faces Ben.
Ben pops up the tower on his Omnitrix with Brawnoceros' hologram immediately appearing over the tower, but the right triplet runs up to Ben and conceals the tower.
Max performs a quick visual analysis of Ben.
He bumps into Ben purposely as he walks away.
The right triplet scouts the area, watching Max as he walks away.
At this point, Ben gets a good view of the three girls. They are identical triplets, made distinct by their clothes, hairstyles (with only slightly differing hair colors, each a shade of brown), and their belts bearing their names front and center. The left triplet wears some of her hair over her face, covering her right eye and making visible only her left on her light brown skin. Her attire includes a white short-sleeved shirt and a light blue cat symbol in the center much akin to that which stood in the center of Gwen's older uniform. She wears blue jeans that reach down to her ankles and black flats without socks. Her belt bears the name "Kara." The center triplet wears her brown hair similarly to Gwen's; an orange tank top, blue jeans, and black flats; and a belt with the name tag "Kira." The right triplet, standing just in front of Ben now, wears black sunglasses, a red short-sleeved shirt, jean short shorts, and high top sneakers. Her belt bears the name "Kai." Kai wears her hair with bangs.
(turns to face her sisters)
Kai's sisters nod.
Kara blows her hair up a bit, but it simply falls back down. She waves to Ben and Ben waves back.
Kara begins to walk down the hall to Mr. Kennedy's class. Kira follows, but Kai stays back for a moment to speak to Ben.
We watch as Ben shrugs and begins to follow the K triplets down the hall to first period--Mr. Kennedy's Physics class.
Part III[]
[We open in Ben's first class of the day as everyone takes their seats. The bell rings and the teacher Mr. Kennedy enters. We fade in and out of scenes from the class, where Ben sometimes looks to the triplets attempting to speak to them, but Mr. Kennedy hits the board with his ruler to return the attention fully to him in the front of the classroom. We pan up to the analogue clock, hands indicating the time of 8:30. The time quickly fast-forwards to around 10:15. We pan out to find ourselves in another classroom taught by a heavy light-skinned woman in a pink dress. We pan to Ben staring boredly at the clock. We pan again to the clock, which now reads 11:10. The bell rings and Ben rushes out of class. After a walk with the K's to the next class they share, they talk their seats in another class filled with distractions from Ben attempting to speak to them. The teacher finally separates Ben and the K's. We pan to Ben's face again, boredly looking at the clock from the front row of the class. We look to the clock as it quickly moves from 11:13 to 12:00. We hear the bell ring, then again watch the clock move from 12:00 quickly to 2:15. The bells ring again. We pan away to find ourselves looking at a clock sitting above the front entrance of the school on the outside. Bursting through the four doors are an array of students, including the group consisting of Luke, Mike, Ben, and the K's. Luke and Mike wave to the remainder of the group as they go their separate ways, while Ben and the K's walk over to the parking lot.]
Kara reaches into her pocket and pulls out the car keys. She points to a Lamborghini Estoque sitting directly in front of them.
With the press of one of the buttons on her car keys, the Estoque's lights flash and the car rings. Kara walks up to the car's driver door.
The Estoque begins to flash between two forms until it finally stops in the form of a Lamborghini Aventador-like car. Ben's eyes widen.
Ben rushes up to the car and plants his face and hands on the driver's window.
Kara tosses the keys to Kira, who nearly drops them upon catching them. She nudges Ben away from the driver's door and unlocks it. The door slides up to its open state.
Ben jumps into the driver's seat, landing snugly in.
Ben looks to between the passenger and driver seat, finding rather than two back seats, a furry wall with something written onto a silver rectangular structure on the wall. "Reventòn 3/20". Ben's eyes widen.
Kira smiles. She reaches over Ben to the central console where she presses a button with a picture of a car seat on it. The furry wall falls down onto the trunk making way for two cubes which fall onto the floor. The cubes expand into chairs and stick themselves to the ground.
Kira looks to her sisters. They all shrug.
Kai, Kira, and Kara--in that order--file into the car. Kira and Kai take the two back seats, reached by shoving past the reclined front passenger seat, while Kara takes the front passenger seat. Three simultaneous seat belt snaps are heard as the triplets snugly buckle themselves in. Ben then straps himself in with the three-point seatbelt available adjacent to his seat and shuts his door.
A large display appears at the top of the center console. A blue screen flashes, followed by the appearance of a computer OS's home screen. Text appears onscreen in English reading "Recognized. Engaged." The steering wheel locks in place and recedes into the dashboard, now floating just in front of the various instruments. A square piece at the end of all belt straps connected to the buckle begins to glow red for each person seated. The computer screen's text changes to read "Four seated: one driver, three passengers. Ready for location input."
The car begins to hover in the area as the text on the computer screen changes once more to read "Destination set to 'Uncle Bob's Café.' Drive has begun. Pilot mode can be engaged at anytime; destination can be changed at anytime." The car automatically begins to back up, then drives out of the parking lot as if done by a regular person. As it reaches the streets, it blasts off down the roads, taking turns easily when necessary.
Ben throws his head around to face Kai in her seat.
Ben's eyes widen.
Kai doesn't say anything. Her mouth begins to shiver. Ben looks around to the other sisters, Kira now looking out the window and Kara with her head bowed.
A few tears drop from her eyes, which she hurriedly wipes. She looks back up to Ben. We can see in the background the computer having updated its text "You have arrived at 'Uncle Bob's Café,' with the car having halted completely.
Ben begins to take off of his seat belt, but Kai stops her.
Ben begins to turn away to the steering wheel, which has popped back out for manual driving. He lowers his head a bit then feels someone's hand on his right shoulder. He looks and sees it belongs to Kara. From the back, Kai explains Kara's action.
Ben slowly turns back to look to Kira, who is no longer fueled with rage.
Ben attempts to rebut, his lips opening and partially mouthing words, but no sound escapes him.
Ben exhales loudly, giving off a sigh to show his torn state in deciding what to do.
Ben exhales a sigh of relief.
Kara, Kira, Kai, and finally Ben proceed into the café. As Ben is walking toward the door, he spots something down the end of a dark alleyway between the café and the adjacent building. He swiftly rushes back to the alleyway and sees a figure in an overcoat and a black coat. He raises the Omnitrix for a scan, but by the time his left arm, the figure is gone.
A hologram of the overcoat figure is shown, with the face of the figure obstructed.
The hologram recedes into the Omnitrix as a new one takes its place, one showing a fish-like humanoid in a Plumber suit featuring a standard transparent glass-like helmet. A fuller view shows Kevin, Gwen, and Ben surrounding the laying body of this fish-like alien as it shrivels up and blue liquid drips out of a slit at the side of the alien's Plumber suit. The video stops and changes to a full biography of the video-ed dying character. The alien stands in its full form at the left of the biography hologram, with a wall of text sitting in the right column above a mash-up of several recordings from the character.
Ben sighs. Distracted, he barely realizes as someone taps him on the shoulder. He looks to his left to find Kara again. He lowers his arm, the hologram disappearing from the Omnitrix.
Kara steps behind Ben and follows him into the café.
[We pan back over to the alleyway and see the overcoat figure pop back into view. Their purple eyes flash before they disappear back into the corner at the end of the alleyway.]
Part IV[]
[We open as Ben enters Uncle Bob's Café where we--including Ben--find the room loaded with girls of various shapes, sizes, and colors--some not so human colors appearing in the mix as well. Ben approaches Kai, Kira, and Kara, standing at the end of the room, passing a blonde-haired caucasian male in a green shirt and the café uniform (consisting simply of an apron with the company's logo, a big-headed caricature of the place's namesake Uncle Bob) manning and cleaning the counter.]
Mid-sentence, Ben begins to be shoved by Kira in through a door that blends in with the lower color of the walls: amaranth red (with a thin black line separating it from the less prominent spring green taking up an approximate third of the wall). Inside there are a line of wooden tables and mainly glass walls surrounding the room, a portion of amaranth red taking up the lower 1/5th of each 12-foot tall wall. Kira seats Ben in a wooden chair at the first table closest to the back wall, with one chair right in front of the back wall and another on the other side. Kira races back to the door and just as she begins to close it, she utters something to Ben.
As the door continues to be closed slowly by Kira, Kai appears over Kira and says something.
The door is immediately shut. Ben spots Kira appear through an entrance way at the end of the room. She stands there and looks to Ben, who mouths "Why?", questioning her decision to exit the room, walk around the counter, and enter some other way in place of simply navigating through the straightforward room. She shrugs as the first potential date enters the room from the door near Kira. The girl is pointed to Ben and as she arrives, Ben analyzes her. The caucasian female is very wide, wearing a pink shirt and purple pants. Atop her brown hair is a red bow attached to the top of a red headband worn on her head. She seats herself at the other end of the table.
As Staci continues to speak, head facing the ceiling as she thinks as she speaks, Ben begins to lean forward and left, completely out of Staci's field of view. There, he mouths "Help me!" to Kira at the end of the room. Kira sees this, nods, and rushes over to behind Staci.
Staci follows Kira to a door that blends in with the walls entirely. Kira pushes a section of the wall, revealed to be a door only as it is pushed. Staci exits--a snug fit in managing to do so. Kira shuts the door as Staci continues to speak outside, then rushes back over to Ben.
Ben nods.
As Ben raises a brow at the sound of the voice from nowhere, Kira removes a walkie-talkie from her pocket, presses a button on the side of the device, and begins to speak.
Kira releases her finger from the voice button on the side of the walkie-talkie and replaces it in her pocket.
She turns around and faces the other end of the room, where another girl has entered the room and now stands in place looking frantically around.
Kira heads back over to her post near the door and points her to Ben. As she walks over, Ben gets a view of her as well. This dark-skinned girl wears a blue short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and black heels. Her hair is black, shoulder-length, and curly. She reaches the table and seats herself opposite Ben.
Ben pops up the Assault Omnitrix tower and smacks down on the first alien that appears.
Brawnoceros roars, and as Amber quickly rises out of her chair and runs away, he flips their table. As Amber attempts to exit the way she came in, she is directed to the hidden exit, continuing to run frantically as she continues on. Kira quickly shuts the door after Amber leaves the room, then returns to Brawnoceros once more.
Brawnoceros begins to fix the one thrown table back into place with its chairs.
Brawnoceros reverts to human and proceeds to his chair, but speaks still standing up.
Her speech begins to lower in tone and be more dragged out as she turns her ahead and look out the window.
Ben raises a brow and looks to where Kira is, spotting the overcoat figure again. Ben quickly raises his Omnitrix in the direction of the figure in an attempt to get a clearer scan, but as he does, the overcoat figure disappears again.
Without touching the Omnitrix, he transforms into Combustiball.
He rolls up into his yo-yo form, obscuring his arms, legs, and center piece. He races out of the room, navigating around the tables and exiting through the well-hidden wall door. He heads out the direction of the alleyway figure. After leaving, Kira realizes a trail of the flames that quickly spreads to the tables. The fire alarm goes off, but the ceiling-mounted sprinklers quickly put them out, also leading Kira's hair to droop. Voluntarily, she drops her head as well.
[We move to outside, finding ourselves past the visible corner of the alleyway where Combustiball is apprehending the quick-running alleyway figure.]
Combustiball picks up his speed, zooming ahead leaving a large trail of flames behind him and reaching the target quickly, who begins to pick up speed. Combustiball transforms into Alkamine and begins pelting the overcoat figure green pieces of gel similar to those included all his own body. After a time, all but the figure's head is covered in the gel, stopping him completely just before reaching the dead end of the alleyway.
Remotely controlling the large green bubble, the overcoat figure is spun around to face Alkamine.
The figure says nothing, but their purple eyes glow under their hat.
He approaches the figure in the gel.
[We move to the entrance to the alleyway just beside the café. A Plumber Humvee pulls into view just in front of the entrance, and we spot down the alleyway, a large purple glow. We focus now at the foot of the Plumber Humvee, where the literal foot of the Plumber driving the Humvee steps out and touches the asphalt.]
Part V[]
[We open minutes before we left off, where Alkamine stands before the overcoat enemy constricted in Alkamine's green gel-like bubble.]
He hears the screeching tires of a Plumber Humvee pulling up nearby.
Alkamine reaches for the overcoat character's hat. He removes it and stumbles back a bit, still managing to stand up straight in spite of the surprise. We move our view and focus on the overcoat figure's face: a Thep Khufan's, with now glowing eyes. Two extra Thep Khufan arms, unfortunately unconcealed by extra overcoat sleeves, appear below the Thep Khufan's regular set. Alkamine's eyes widen just as the Thep Khufan blasts a purple beam from his chest, ripping a hole straight through Alkamine's own chest and knocking him onto the floor. We watch from Alkamine's eyes as the Thep Khufan manages to escape the bubble by prying it open from the inside with his extra arms then escape by leaping into the air, shadow-casting hat back on his head. We return to a third-person perspective as Plumbers from the Humvee nearby arrive at Ben's side, with the lead being none other than Monty K holding Ben by his back to keep him up.
Alkamine clenches his hand into a fist and begins to regenerate his chest as green gel, with his blue skin and his uniform absent from the regeneration process.
Monty K gestures one of the Plumbers to return to the Humvee. That Plumber is quick to run to it and come back with a Plumber's emergency kit with the Universal Peace Symbol taking the place of the standard red plus. The Plumber kneels before Ben and pulls out white bandages.
The Plumber medic perfectly covers up the green regenerated with white bandages, then lifts Alkamine up onto his feet. Alkamine reverts to human with the white patch of bandages covering the center of his chest. Part of his skin is visible through the tear in his shirt which expanded proportional to Alkamine's uniform tear whereas the bandages did not. The Plumber medic closes up his emergency kit and helps raise Ben up to his feet alongside the other Plumbers, including Monty K.
Monty K's eyes widen.
He outstretches his Omnitrix arm, the hourglass face pointing upward.
He swallows heavily.
A hologram appears overhead the Omnitrix, displaying Articguana standing in a dark room and inhaling deeply, to the point where he shows his stomach and other parts of his innards. We pan to see a four-armed Thep Khufan standing before him that is individually ripping out the Cyogen crystals sitting within Articguana's stomach. Articguana's eyes lose their color, turning white from green.
The Thep Khufan watches Articguana slip down onto the floor. Paralyzed, Articguana simply continues to watch as the Thep Khufan places an ID Mask on his face, turning into the overcoat figure and stepping out of the room through a massive hole in it, now revealed to be Ben's bedroom. We hear the creaking sound of a door being opened in the background, then the video cuts and ends. It pans out and takes up now only the bottom right corner of the hologram, the remainder part of the hologram becoming focused on the Thep Khufan culprit's full biography.
Every Plumber's eyes widen.
Monty K sighs.
We pan over to the Plumber Humvee, where two Plumbers enter into the two back seats, while the spare Plumber enters into the rear jail transport seats. We return to Ben and Monty K in the alleyway.
Ben begins to walk off, Monty K being sure not to question Ben's decision. We pan back over to the Plumber Humvee where Ben attempts to pull open the front passenger door, but it refuses to open. Ben now attempts to pop up the Assault Omnitrix tower, but is stopped by the timed-out status denoted by its red hourglass and other normally green features. Monty K arrives at Ben's side.
He opens the door with a simple pull of its handle.
Ben steps into the car and throws himself into the passenger seat. After Ben snaps on his seat belt, the seat automatically adjusts to a comfortable state by pushing itself forward. Ben shuts the door and watches Monty K run around to the driver's seat and seat himself. Monty shuts his own door, straps himself in, and holds the steering wheel at 10 and 2. Lights and the center console's computer flash on immediately. Blue glows become prevalent in the car.
Monty K sighs.
Monty K nods. We can hear him move his foot to the clutch pedal as he switches up gears from neutral to first. He picks up speed gradually as he makes a U-turn in the wide street and head toward Max's Plumbing a few blocks away. We watch as a fire truck arrives at the scene at last, which passes by the side of the café, where one of the K triplets--Kira--had just watched the Plumber Humvee take off.
[A few minutes later, as the Humvee arrives at the Max's Plumbing building, we watch as Monty K removes his vibrating phone from his pocket. While no name appears on screen, the phone number of the caller does appear, one he recognizes. He takes the call.]
Monty hears a beep then puts away his phone. He looks over to the front passenger seat, which Ben had managed to escape from during Monty's call. The front door of the Max's Plumbing is seen sliding closed. We pan out of the car as Monty and his fellow Plumbers step out of the Humvee, closing their doors, and entering Max's Plumbing. After a bright green glow within the Max's Plumbing building, a portion of the ground under the Humvee slides away to make way for the underground garage which blends into the road, taking the Humvee into the ground then replacing the disguised garage platform.
[We transition to the inside of the underground Plumber base where Max is standing in front of the long tube through which Plumbers enter. Ben appears first, followed by Monty K and the rest of his sector of Kilo squad. They all salute Max, who simply stands there with his arms crossed.]
Ben stretches out his arm.
Monty K removes the red badge on his chest, under which wires which are intended to be hidden are shown.
The three other Plumbers in Monty's squad salute Max before dispersing. Max then begins to walk towards one of the unmanned computers, with Monty K and Ben following close behind. Max places Monty K's red chest badge onto a circular port next to the computer's flat keyboard. As the computer quickly beats up, Max seats himself, and while still facing the computer, speaks to Ben behind him.
Max stays silent for a moment.
He spins around in his chair and tosses the red badge to Monty K.
Max stands up and holds Ben's arm as he looks at the Omnitrix, which is still timed out.
Monty K nods then salutes Max with the red badge in his hand. He walks away.
He holds up his Omnitrix arm.
Ben nods.
Rook Blonko runs into the area promptly.
Max points to Ben's chest.
Rook nods, then helps Ben walk over to the vehicle hold.
[We transition to Uncle Bob's Café as a fire truck leaves the area and many either return to the inside or disperse, leaving the area completely. The Proto-TRUK pulls up in front of the café. Ben leaps out of the front passenger seat, then Rook makes a U-turn and drives back. Ben walks up to the café entrance and enters. He finds himself in a fairly empty room, populated only by Rex, the K triplets, and a black-haired teenage girl in a black sweater seated at the bar area at the counter. Ben approaches the K triplets.]
(he is distracted by the girl seated at the bar)
Kara slaps her hand over Kira's mouth as Ben approaches the teenage girl and seats himself next to her, realizing that while the TV at the bar is tuned to the Will Harangue Nation, her full attention is on a video game she is playing on a Game Boy-esque device.
He puts his hand out to shake the girl's.
The girl focuses on her game while overhearing Will Harangue's TV rant.
The girl pauses her game.
