security breach, red alert.

i didn't authorize a launch.

Abort, abort!

we're not launching the nuke,
sir.

Something's pulling them out
of their silos.

uh!

uh!

you...

it's over, vilgax.
You're going down.

many have tried,
none have succeeded.

until now, slime ball.

Phil--wait!

uh--

back away, or watch one
of your cities be destroyed.

¶ , , ¶

put the w*apon down, now!

you can't just let him
get away.

never said i would, kid.

ah!

Uh!

you're too late.
wrong.

My timing's perfect.

aah! No!

what are you doing?

sending vilgax out
with a bang.

turn this off!

and then, kablam-o.

No more vilgax.

Or so i thought, until today.

whoa, you were a hero?

i was just a guy doing a job.

excuse me, but exactly what
was that job?

we called ourselves
the plumbers.

Officially, we didn't exist.

We were the guys who fixed
the problems no one else could.

Extraterrestrial, extrasensory,
extraordinary.

so all this time i've been
going hero, i've really been

Following in your footsteps.

I'm a plumber in training!

and you knew about the watch
the whole time?

not really, just rumor and
scuttlebutt.

I was surprised as you guys when
it turned up on ben's wrist.

you always told us we could
tell you anything, grandpa.

Guess you didn't feel the same.

all right! Could be a chance
for the plumbers to go back to
work.

ugh, you should start by
unclogging that hairball from
your brain, mr. Plumber.

ah, you're just jealous
'cause you're not part of
the family business.

there is no family business.

My hero days were over
a long time ago.

well, mine are just
getting started.

ben--wait!

time to xlr .

Ah, ripjaws, what a rip-off.

there's some kind of creature
inside, tearing up the place.

sorry, just needed to
moisturize.

Ok, who's the punk giving us
creatures a bad name?

Ah, ha ha ha ha!

You picked the wrong day to be
an alien, pal.

Uh!

Mmm.

Ahh...

That's just a breath of fresh
air to me.

anybody happen to see a giant
talking fish come by here?

aah!
Who are you?

Who am i?

Who are you?

uh!

looks like today's my lucky
day. Two aliens for the price of
.

Just sit tight, fish stick.
I'll be back in a minute.

ahh...
You gotta love room service.

uh--uh--

not bad for a fish stick,
huh?

Uh, gotta go.

ben, are you all right?

uh, barely.

Some nut job in there
nearly roasted me.

max?

phil!

Ha ha ha!

you know this guy, grandpa?

well, you could say that.
We used to be partners.

Yeah, she's not much to look at,

But it's better than that old
rust bucket of an rv you used
to drive.

so, how are you?

pretty good, considering
i just bagged a havoc beast.

Seems like old times.

you bagged it?
As if.

It was ripj--

havoc beast, huh?

I haven't seen one of those
since the one we caught
terrorizing denver years ago.

yeah, well,
good thing i was around.

You know, once a plumber,
always a plumber.

You ever think about getting
back in the game, max?

You know, relive the glory days?

no thanks.

I'm retired, and so are
the plumbers.

yeah, thanks to you.

Once you took vilgax out of

The picture, the work just
seemed to dry up.

i'm just doin' my job.

yeah, anyway.

Looks like things are picking
back up again.

In fact, i'm starting my own
freelance plumber business.

Wow.

Cool watch, it looks
so familiar.

it ought to, it's the omni--

oh, look at the time.
Well, we need to go.

Nice catching up with you, phil.

Happy plumbing.

i don't get it, how come
you didn't tell phil about
the omnitrix?

that's on a need to know
basis only, ben.

The less people who know,
the better.

guess that's your answer
to everything, isn't it grandpa?

hey, why don't we start up
the plumbers again?

You, me, and phil.

We'd be super alien butt
kickers!

ben, i'm flattered you
appreciate what i did, but you
can't bring back the past.

max! If you're out there,
i need help.

vulpamancers tearing up a meat
processing plant on highway .

vulpamancers?

all right! The tennysons are
back in plumbing business.

i don't like the sound
of that.

phil!

max, thank goodness you
showed up.

aliens--nasty.

We're gonna need a little
of that old magic.

no worries, we're on it.

friends of yours?

wildmutts--maybe i can talk
with them.

ben!



that's why i recognized
that watch.

It's the omnitrix.

what did you say?

vulpamancers never were big
on small talk--even with their
own kind.

gross!

what are partners for?

oh!

Don't suppose you've ever
considered becoming vegetarians.

sorry about that, ben. Only
way to bring down the
vulpamancer.

yeah, lucky for us, you had
a sonic pitch whistle with you.

so, all the stories are true.

The omnitrix really does exist.

And ben, pretty good moves
out there.

You remind me of your
grandfather back in the day.

really?

phil, look out!

uh!

why don't you pick on someone
with more meat on his bones?

ahh, just like old times, eh?

I think this is gonna be the
beginning of a new partnership.

It's fate that we all met up.

oh, ritzy suite.

Had to have cost a pretty penny.

just a little thank you
i negotiated for helping

The manager out with his
alien problem.

And trust me, this is just the
tip of the old alien iceberg.

You know, ben, you'd make
a great plumber.

i would?

sure, a real chip off
the old block.

We'd all make a great team.

With your powers, max's
experience, and my instincts,

We'd be an unstoppable team.

What do you think?

i'm thinking what an odd
coincidence for a hyper weasel

And megamutts to turn up on
the same day.

aliens...

Go figure.

i, uh, need some fresh air.

hey, kids.

Order whatever you'd like off
the room service menu.

now we're talkin'!

something's going on that
grandpa's not telling us about.

Come on.

and pass up free room
service?

No way, i'm stayin' here.

nah, you're right.

It's probably just some secret
plumber's mission.

Better if we just stay out
of it.

No grandpa.

and no phil.

But where would they go?

if grandpa thinks that alien
weasel and those space mutts

Are connected, there's only one
place to check out around here.

Hey!

hang on, pedal to the metal.

it's gone.
looking for this?

the null-void projector.

I thought all those aliens were
familiar.

You stole the null-void
projector to release the ones

We caught back in the old days.

you always were too smart for
your own good, max.

But not wanting to join up with
me was just plain dumb.

why are you doing all this?
job security.

I release an alien, then get
some hotel manager or mayor or

Whoever to pay me to catch it.

Easy money.

i'm not gonna let you get
away with this.

yeah, i figured you might
say that.

Too bad, we could've made quite
a team again.

uh!

Aah!

and don't worry, i'll be sure

To tell ben how your last words

To me were how you wanted him

To follow in your footsteps as
my partner.

what the--

you're no plumber,
you're nothing but a big drip.

ben, listen to me.

We don't need your grandpa.

We could start back up the
plumbers again, just you and me.

forget it, and there's
nothing you can do to change
my mind.

sorry to hear that.

Say hello to an old friend,
a wigzelian org beast.

I'd love to stay, but i've got
lots of work to do.

no...

No...

No.

Where is it, where is it?

grandpa, could you pick up
the pace?

'cause i sure can't.

got it!

uh...

Uh...

Uh.

where's gwen?

ha ha, and who says crime
doesn't pay?

so, how many aliens did you
store in that null-void thingy?

at least a couple of hundred,

But it's a portal to an
alternate dimension.

In theory, it could have
millions inside of it.

ah--
oh, no you don't.

uh!

Better start thinking about a
new line of work, because this
thing is going bye-bye.

Uh!

autopilot mode engaged.

uh--uh...

Uh...

good idea, we could use
a distraction.

something tells me that's not
the state bird of south dakota.

We need some muscle to stop
this thing.

Four arms of muscle.

Grey matter?

I said muscle, not miniscule!

Triggering the correct sequence
of synapses should allow me some

Rudimentary motor control.

Uh, sure wish i knew what
i was talking about.

Uh!

Uh!

oh...

whoa!

Uh!

uh!

Back off, small fry, or i'll
release every alien in this
thing.

then you'll be out of a job.

it doesn't have to be
this way.

We could all work together.

no way. This is one hero
who's not for sale.

well, then you're all gonna
be very busy.

sorry, i'm on summer
vacation.

ben!

no!

see ya.

and i definitely wouldn't
want to be ya.

who's next?

and that's the last of them.

I'm sorry i had to keep my past
a secret for so long.

I should've known i could trust
you guys.

it's ok.

and for what it's worth, ben,

You would've made a great
plumber--both of you.

hey, we're your grandkids,
what do you expect?

What about phil?

i think there are some things
about this job we're better off
not knowing.
