Better stock up on that sun block.
This heat wave should last
clear through to Sunday.
Once again, we're getting word
of a break-in at the Coriolanus labs
in Bellwood ending in a high-speed
police pursuit through downtown...

Ben Tennyson!
Ben: I see him. Thanks, Chief.
I'm not the Chief.
[ beep ]
Rook: We will take it from here.
Careful. She stole
some kind of fusion thing.
Rook: I am a Plumber, officer.
I am always careful.
Crashhopper: Yah!
Yah!
At the end of your rope, huh?
Ester: Not ever.
[ grunts ]
Eeeee!
Aah!

Crashhopper: Whoa!
Aah!
Crashhopper: Ptew!
[ gasps ]
Uh... shoo.
[ grunts ]
Ester: You might have the power,
Ben Tennyson, but I got the reach!
Rook: Do not touch it!
[ sizzling ]
Ester: It's been an honor, Ben,
but I don't think that form suits you.
Bye-bye!
[ grunts ]
[ chirps ]
Okay. So, the girl took the
fusion device where?
[ grunts ]
Are you going to stay like that?
Crashhopper: Just till the
Omnitrix times out.
- Rook: How long does that take?
- Crashhopper: Uh, minutes or so.
Ben: Guess that's it.
Rook: I think our thief appreciate
this Ben Tennyson a little more.
Ben: Huh?
Rook: She did express interest
in some other form of yours.
Ben: Oh.
She must have meant Ditto.
According to the fan sites,
that's my cutest alien.
Rook: That is not
at all what she meant.
Ben: Ha! Right!
'Cause you know
everything about girls.
[ beeping ]
Rook: We have something.
[ beeping continues ]
[ grunts ]
[ grunts ]
[ beeping continues ]
[ aliens speaking
native languages ]
Ben: Bet it's that.
[ beeping intensifies ]
Rook: An old thermo-electric
generator. Space junk.
Not junk. A bargain!
taydens.
[ gulping ]
It's even hotter down
here than it is up there!
Rook: Perhaps I can
recalibrate ...
Ben: Uh, Rook?
Don't bother.
Hold it!
- Ester: You turned human.
- Ben: I do that.
Rook: Hand over the fusion
engine, please.
Ester: What if I told you I couldn't?
Ben: It's not a matter of "could."
Two of us, one of you.
Ester: You sure you won't
just trust me on this? No?
[ grunts ]
[ beep ]
Eatle: Got ya!
[ steam hissing ]
Ester: You sure?
[ groans ]
[ grunts ]
I'm pretty sure.
Seebik: Get off her!
Off!
[ lasers charge ]
- Give us the fusion engine.
- Eatle: Who are you?
Seebik: We're the Kraaho.
I'm Seebik.
Lackno: Uh, can we do this
quickly, Seebik?
I can see my breath!
Eatle: You're cold?
What's your problem?
Seebik: You're the one with
the problem. The fusion engine.
- Rook: You are not getting it.
- Eatle: Not without a fight.
Ben: Is everyone around here
made of rubber?
Ester: Only the winners.
- Ben: I'm warning you...
- Ester: Yes?
[ beep ]
[ Omnitrix sputters ]
[ beep ]
[ beeping ]
Ben: I got nothing.
Ester: Let's do
this again sometime ...
- this or anything else, I guess.
- Ben: Huh?
Lackno: C-c-c-can we get
going, Seebik? I'm f-freezing!
Seebik: Ester, stop
talking to that cold-cut.
Rook: These are Tungsten-based
life forms, no doubt.
Ben: Uh-huh. Totally.
Lackno: S-Seebik, two more
minutes, and I'm an ice sculpture.
Seebik: All right, Lackno.
But first... finish him off.
Ester: Seebik, that's Ben Tennyson!
Ben: Don't forget Rook!
Better "off" him, too.
I'd totally let you guys go,
but this guy never gives up.
- Seebik: Back to the hot spot!
- Ester: But you never said you...
This isn't the Kraaho way.
Seebik: The Kraaho way
is what I say it is!
Go ... now!
[ sighs ]
[ stomping ]
Rook: They seem to want to "off" us
with some sort of ritualized "offing."
Ben: Thank you,
tribal culture channel.
[ beep ]
Gravattack: Okay, then.
Take off!
[ all gasp ]
First, I make you weightless,
and then...
Ben: Then I time out.
- Rook: I thought you said minutes.
- Ben: Give or take.
[ all groaning ]
Ester: Sorry.
I can't let you do this.
I'm f-f-freezing!
- I can't see!
- Over there!
Ow!
Ester: Come on!
[ growls ]
Lackno: Ah!
- Ester: Hurry!
- Ben: Wait. I can't run away.
It doesn't matter if those guys
are made of Tungsten or tuna fish.
I got to stop them.
Ester: They have what they want.
They won't be any more trouble.
- Rook: Everything about this is trouble.
- Ben: Yeah, including yo... unh!
Ester: The Kraaho can't
follow us up here. Too cold.
Ben: Sure, 'cause it's only
degrees... in the shade.
Rook: The Kraaho need extreme
heat, yet you seem fine without it.
Ester: I'm only half-Kraaho.
To me, it's just nippy out.
- Rook: And the fusion engine?
- Ester: They needed that to keep warm.
Ben: And now they have what
they need, so... problem solved?
Ester: Exactly.
Ben gets it.
- You're overthinking everything.
- Ben: I wouldn't say ...
- It's Ester!
- Ester!
[ all cheer ]
Ester: Friends of mine.
Come play with us!
- Yeah!
- Come on, you guys!
Rook: We were chasing a
thief, and there she is!
Ben: Yeah, and she saved us, dude.
Loosen up!
[ sighs ]
"Problem solved, dude!
She saved us, dude!
Loosen yourself, dude!"
[ sighs ]
Want to play with us?
Ester: He's playing.
Come on, player.
[ horn honking ]
Car!
- Here we go!
- Let's do this!
[ indistinct shouting ]
Ben: Hey!
[ grunts ]
Car!
[ groans ]
- We can go easy if you want.
- Ben: Go easy?
[ beep ]
Xlr : It's on like computron!
[ clang! ]
- Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah!
[ chuckles ]
Who wants to cool off?
[ beep ]
[ all cheering, laughing ]
Water Hazard: Hey, Ester...
Ester: No! No!
Aah!
[ laughter ]
All: Android ella, dressed in yella,
went topside to kiss a fella!
[ shivers ]
[ chuckles ]
[ laughs ]
Rook: She likes you, Ben, dude.
Ben: Everyone likes me.
I'm the hero.
Rook: Yes, but she is not innocent.
The party is over.
You must tell her.
Be the hero, Ben...
before I am forced to poop this party.
[ electricity crackles ]
- Lackno: It's ready.
- Seebik: Fire the laser!
Lackno: How long will this take?
I've been cold so long,
I've got frostbite on my...
Seebik: Lackno! Enough with
the "how cold is it" jokes!
Lackno: ...on my frostbite.
[ beeping ]
Seebik!
The laser struck magma!
Seebik: Here we go!
Valves open! Pumps on!
[ mechanical whirring ]
Ahh. Finally!
Lackno: Yeah.
Yeah, I was so cold that ...
[ clears throat ]
Never mind.
Seebik: Now let's clear some room for ...
what do they call it topside?
Lackno: Bellwood.
Seebik: Make way for New Bellwood.
Aah!
[ horns blaring ]
[ gasps ]
Aah!
Aah!
[ people screaming ]
[ tires screech ]
[ tires screech ]
[ horn blares ]
[ all screaming ]
Ester: I swear I didn't know!
Rook: That the Kraaho would
use the fusion engine to do this?
This is their work, isn't it?
Ben: We're past the blame stage.
It's hero time!
[ car alarm blaring ]
[ beep ]
Arctiguana?
Cool!
[ siren wailing ]
[ beeping ]
- Ester! You're okay!
- Ben: For now.
Rook: Look!
The lava is still coming.
What will happen when it
flows down into undertown?
[ gasps ]
My parents!
Rook: Miss, we need
that fusion engine back.
The Kraaho are using you.
Ester: They said they wanted
to make it warmer down there.
Ben: Down where?
That place they told you to
go to, right ... the hot spot?
Ester: You're asking
me to betray my people.
Ben: Asking?
I am begging you.
[ lasers charging ]
Lackno: It's a miracle, Seebik!
You turned this frozen
wasteland into an oasis!
Seebik: As soon as New Bellwood's
warm and the stragglers dealt with...
how does the name
"New Earth" strike you?
[ gasps ]
Seebik!
You lied to me!
Seebik: How long can
we stay in this cavern?
A generation?
Two, maybe?
We need a world, Ester.
Ester: This world doesn't
belong to you. You can't roast it!
Seebik: It's not up for debate!
My word is law!
[ beep ]
NRG: Create a distraction.
I'll get the fusion device.
[ metal creaks ]
Rook: Hey! Hey!
Eyes on me!
Today we will learn an Earth
game called "tag."
[ all muttering ]
[ poink! ]
You are it!
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
NRG: I'm a way better at distractions.
Seebik: You brought him here?
Your father would be ashamed of you!
[ lasers zapping ]
[ grunts ]
[ grunts ]
Um...
very good!
Now, who wants to learn the
electric slide?
[ laser charges ]
[ panting ]
[ grunts ]
[ grunts ]
[ grunts ]
Ester: Rook!
[ groans ]
[ grunts ]
[ panting ]
Hurry, Ben!
[ grunts ]
[ grunts ]
[ panting ]
[ groans ]
[ grunts ]
Seebik: Keep that cold-cut
away from the engine!
NRG: Get off me!
[ thud ]
No! Please, whatever you
do, keep the suit closed!
Don't open me up!
That will end NRG!
Suckers!
[ laughs ]
Seebik: Warriors,
don't let him... do that.
NRG: That is good fusion engine.
[ beeping ]
Seebik: Well, you've won.
Happy?
Ester: You haven't exactly lost.
We'll do just fine here in the hot spot.
Ben: It is practically
another part of undertown.
You even have your own private
hot springs.
Seebik: Coexistence, living
next to a city of cold-cuts ...
that's not the Kraaho way.
Ester: No, Seebik, it's not your way.
I see that now.
But it was my father's way.
Ben: Yeah!
Wait, who was your father?
Ester: He was the leader
before Seebik.
Ben: What are you doing?
Seebik: Anything she wants.
She's defeated me.
Ester: And?
Seebik: And the Kraaho way is
whatever you say it is.
- Ester: Coexistence.
- Lackno: You'd allow it?
Ben: As long as you don't step
out of line. If you do, well...
Ester: As leader of the
Kraaho, I swear this day
that I will always be a good
neighbor to you, Ben Tennyson.
Ben: Uh, yeah.
Well, easy, now.
Rook has to go patrol his...
right, Rook?
Rook: Water.
Ben: Lemonade?

[ panting ]
Thank you.
Hey, it's Ester's boyfriend!
- Hey, Ester's boyfriend!
- Hi, Ester's boyfriend!
[ sing-song voice ]
Ester has a boyfriend!
- Where's Ester?
- Rook: Still at large.
Ben: Not her fault the fusion
engine was never recovered.
She's not my girlfriend!
We're just... friends. Just...
Hey, wait a second.
Do you think I have a sh*t with her?
Rook: What?
