Max, I got your call. It seemed urgent.

We need your help, Phil. Ben's disappeared.

We can't find him anywhere.

He's probably just off doing something silly again.

But he's never been gone for this long.

This isn't like him at all.

He has been jumping at shadows lately,

but I never thought it would lead to this.

I see. Well, not to worry.

I've got just the thing! Follow me.

Whoa.

Uh, Phil, you're not planning on using

that hunk of junk, are ya?

Of course not.

But it sure brings back some memories, right, Max?

What's he talking about, Grandpa?

Oh, nothing. He's just messing around.

Ever since Ben fought Vilgax, I've been tracking the Omnitrix

to further study its abilities.

Through my research I've learned that the Omnitrix

emits a frequency, even when not in use.

We should be able to track Ben using that frequency.

Ha! [ Gasps ]

It worked!

It looks like he's in Switzerland.

[ Telephone ringing ] Switzerland?

Oh, that boy is so grounded.

Hello?

Yes, I know where he's headed.

This isn't looking good.

♪♪

What's this all about, Forever Knight?

Each one of you is here because you possess a skill

needed for seeing this plan come to fruition.

Kevin, your aliens.

Vin, your loyalty.

Charmcaster, your spells.

I'll have to make do with this rune

since my book was destroyed.

Mr. Billions, your riches.

My best feature.

Simon, your battle suit.

Happy Birthday, Forever Knight!

Did you know that the "Happy Birthday" song was copyright--

And our last operative, who has finally come to his senses.

♪♪

What?!

Ugh, I thought I smelled middle class.

My two bestest friends in the same room?! This is great!

What are you thinking?

He's obviously gonna betray us the first chance he gets.

Settle down, kid.

I'm sure Ben has his reasons for being here.

All right, then.

Tell us, Ben, why should we trust you?

'Cause Grandpa and Gwen don't.

What?! What does that even mean?!

Enough, Kevin. Ben's here to discover his full potential.

Now, let's begin.

Okay, we've been tracking Forever Knight's movements

over the past few months. Who is "we"?

Best to just focus on the task at hand, Gwen.

With our intel, we came to the conclusion that he was

recruiting some sort of team.

We weren't sure of the reason why until now.

I can say with certainty Ben's in Switzerland

because Forever Knight is there at a laboratory in Geneva.

Hmm. What could he be planning?

I'm not sure, but we're going to find out and stop him.

But how are we going to go up against Forever Knight

and his team?

It's not like we all have a watch like Ben.

Not to worry. I've got just the thing.

It's something I've been meaning to test out.

Really?!

All right, hold still. There.

A pin?

You're kidding right? Push it.

[ Electronic beeping ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasps ]

Hep, ha! Rowr!

This is awesome! [ Laughs ]

I'm like an action figure!

High-five!

Wait! Gwen!

Whoa! [ Poing! ]

Sorry, Grandpa!

We've arrived.

You all know what to do.

Yeah, and don't screw it up, Tennyson.

That's my line about you!

I know what I'm doing!

♪♪

[ Shing, crackle ]

All right, you're gonna let me in or you're gonna regret --

Oh! Come in.

R-Really?

That -- That was easy.

Thank you. Father gave a sizable donation.

Way to go, dingus.

♪♪

[ All gasp ] Magnificent!

Is this where the party's gonna be?

Indeed.

You two -- prepare to construct the time portal.

Timing is key in all of this.

You must work together for us to succeed.

Yeah, well, let's see if the dweeb can keep up.

Hang on a second. I'm the dweeb?

You're the one with a mullet.

Yep. [ Growls ]

You will set your pride aside and do as I tell you.

But the pip-squeak can't even --

Silence. Get to your position before I place you there myself.

Let's go, dweeb.

Call me dweeb one more time and see what happens.

Whatever.

Leave it there.

What are you doing?!

I didn't have enough wrapping paper

for Forever Knight's present, so I put balloons on it!

Oh, did you know that when particles collide

at a high velocity, the ripples of the impact create

a rift in time and space?

Yeah, that's why we're here.

Oh, okay.

Hey! You don't have a party hat!

Here! No! Don't touch me!

Ha! All right, Gwen.

Time to be stealthy like a cat.

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow.

Meow!

Eee!

[ Exhales deeply ] Whoo!

Stealthy.

[ Chanting spell quietly ]

[ Metal creaking ]

Found them! What are they doing?

It looks like some sort of gateway.

[ Beep ]

[ Whirring ]

Now to get Grandpa and Phil.

[ Grunting ]

Watch wearers, get to your positions.

You best keep up, Loser-son!

Well I...

You -- I...

Pbht!!

Get on with it.

♪♪

Ha!Yeah!

All right, boys.

.........

Go!

[ Both grunting ]

[ Rumbling ]

Looking good, boys.

But you both are gonna have to push it a bit more.

How fast?!

miles per hour.

What?! That's impossible!

Well, you better get running then.

[ Both grunting ]

Loser says what? What?

Hah! Got you!

Cut the quips and get going. Go! Go! Go!

♪♪

[ Rumbling ]

They're coming.

Fire the laser.

If you will, Simon.

Simon, what are you doing?! Hit the button already!

I drew a picture of Ben, and you, and me.

Did you...

[calmly] draw me taller than Ben?

Beautiful.

[ Beep, zap ]

[ Both screaming ]

Whoa! What was that?

[ Panting ]

[ Beep ]

Good work, Gwen!

[ Sighs ] I found them.

They're in an underground laboratory!

[ Rumbling ] Whoa!

We better hurry!

[ All gasp ] There's too many of them!

I saw a shortcut! Follow me!

[ Speaking in tongue ]

The rift has stabilized, and I've established

a connection from your gauntlet to the portal.

You'll be able to have control

over when and where you travel.

Excellent work.

Now I will only require

one of you to accompany me into the rift.

It's your time, Ben.

What?! Him?! How come he gets to go?

I'm sick of him getting everything

when I'm obviously better!

Are you questioning me?

The grease child is right!

How can you trust that green-clad dullard

to do anything?

Guys! Guys! the big guy clearly knows what he's doing.

He made the right choice.

We'll see about that.

[ Whiffle! ]

[ Roars ]

[ Growls ]

[ Chomp! ] Ow!

[ Chuckles mischievously ]

[ Speaks in tongue ]

Huh?!

[ Grumbles ]

Hey! Give that back!

Enough!

All this pettiness proves

that Ben is worth more than all of you combined.

Now, I won't say it again.

Ben, we're going.

[ All screaming ]

Ugh, I thought cats were supposed to land on their feet.

Well, we have some uninvited guests.

If you'd like to prove your worth,

take care of the Tennyson family.

♪♪

Ben! We're here to help!

Go away. I don't need you anymore.

♪♪

All: Ben!

How can you tell if a mummy is sick?

By his coffin. [coughin']

[ Both laugh ]

Ooh!

[ Both laugh ]

Of all the places and times,

you decide to travel back to this dust bowl?

Forever Knight: Come. We have work to do.

[ Beeping ]

Huh? Why is it beeping?

Your Omnitrix is helping me locate something.

I've been tracking alien signals across time

and discovered three instances

where alien life has attempted to contact Earth,

one of which will happen momentarily

here in ancient Egypt.

The plan is simple -- Go back in time

and prevent any contact from happening.

-But that would mean -- -Exactly.

With threats like your aliens' powers out of the way,

I can become Earth's ultimate ruler.

All right, Forever Nut.

There's no way I'll let you use me for your evil plan.

I'm afraid it's too late for mutiny.

Ha. Without your g*ng of Forever Losers,

I can take you out one-on-one

or, better yet, four arms against two.

[ Beeping ]

♪♪

There's no use in resisting.

I'm too powerful.

I grow weary of your games.

[ Beeping ]

The signal is getting stronger.

-Ooh! [ Laughs ] -Ooh! [ Laughs ]

It seems alien contact wasn't achieved in this era.

We must make the next time jump.

I'm still not helping you.

-Hey! -You have no choice.

Whoa!

They just time-jumped. We have to get to the portal.

Gwen, you take Kevin and Charmcaster.

Phil, you take Billy and Simon.

-I'll take Vin. -Right.

You'll never stop Forever Knight, Gwen.

Give up now, and you won't get hurt.

All right, kids, it's nap time.

Quit trying to spoil this birthday party.

Drones, destroy the baby boomer!

♪♪

All right, Vin, you say you're all about family,

but you always put my family in danger.

Ben joined our family fair and square.

I don't believe you.

Hey, guys, Ben and Forever Knight

just jumped to another time.

Run, run, little cat.

Hey, it's Italy. [ Grunts ]

Ah, Renaissance-era Florence.

And just in time for the next signal to appear.

Ugh, not again.

All right, Forever Knight, your grand plan stops here.

Admit defeat, Tennyson. You've been bested in battle.

I'll never give up. Diamondhead will cut your plan to shreds.

Mmm, nothing beats a Florence-style deep dish.

Fuhgeddaboudit.

Hey, get ya tuchus off the gabagool.

Well, sorry. Just trying to save the world from evil.

Ah, some kind of wise guy.

♪♪

I've used you like a pawn, Tennyson.

Now come along quietly and serve your leader.

Your aliens don't belong here.

Whoa!

Hey, I make-a de painting!

The signal is approaching.

So, what's that on your pizza?

An exotic new fruit called, uh, pineapple.

Why, you...

It seems contact wasn't made here, either.

That leaves only one possibility.

Aah!

Hold still so I can destroy you.

Forever Knight is just using you.

Don't listen to her, Kevin.

She's trying to get in your head.

Get back here!

Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?

Throw my family under the bus whenever it benefits you.

That's over the line, pal.

Pull this thing over.

Hey, don't touch that.

Ben and Forever Knight are on the move again.

Uh, Phil, are you sure this is gonna work?

My parents would be so mad

if I built an alien antenna on our roof.

It's okay. I told them it was treehouse.

Forever Knight: We made it just in time. [ Beeping ]

Finally, Earth's timeline will tip in my favor.

Shock Rock: You wish.

I like the Earth the way it is.

I've had enough.

Same here.

♪♪

Max, help me!

Stop running, you pleb!

This is the only thing I'm good at.

I won't lose.

Hey, uh, Vin, I have a question.

Spit it out, Mr. Tennyson.

Well, uh, why did you team up with Forever Knight?

You always seemed like a nice guy despite being a criminal.

Uh, now that my son has grown up to be a fancy lawyer,

I haven't really had anyone around.

This is the closest thing to family I have now.

Well, you're always welcome to join the Tennyson family.

Thanks. That actually sounds really nice.

Charmcaster: I will obliterate you, Gwen Tennyson!

Gwen: Aah! Between you and me,

I could use an extra hand once in a while.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, Ben's a mess.

Ugh. I can't believe you made me do work.

Once I finish you off,

Forever Knight will easily choose me over Tennyson.

♪♪

Are you kidding me? You're making me do even more work!

Aah. Simon, I need your services.

Let me show you a feature only money can buy.

[ Cha-ching! ] Only a million?

[ Laughs ] That's so cheap.

Let's see how you like this!

-What did you do to my robot? -Never mind that.

We'll be best buds forever if you take out the janitor.

Wow. Really?

[ Chuckles ]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Simon, wait.

I just started getting my pension.

Apple juice?

Yes. It's almost green,

like money.

Hey, Simon, I have a gift for you.

Juice! I love juice.

Simon, what are you doing?

I'm your BFF.

That means you have to do what I say!

Do you have any juice?

No. I can buy some.

I want juice now.

Aah!

[ Groans ]

What?

Kevin, finish her off.

Why? All we were supposed to do

is keep everyone away from the portal.

You're soft.

Let me show you how a real villain does it.

[ Whimpers, yells ]

Uh [Chuckles] let's talk about this.

No talking your way out of this one, Gwen.

[ Laughs ]

Stop!

-Bye-bye, Gwen. -Aah!

What?

Aah!

Huh?

What's your deal? This is why you can never be

Forever Knight's right hand.

I handle things my way.

If anyone's gonna take out Gwen, it's gonna be me.

[ Screaming ]

Thanks for saving me, Kevin.

Ugh. Well, yeah, I'm not a monster.

Then you won't stop me from finding out what Ben's up to.

Your cousin's gone full bad-dude.

That's what he's up to.

Kevin, it's Ben.

Oh, yeah. He's too goody-two-shoes

-to be a bad guy. -Well, see you later.

Wait! Uh, I'm coming, too. I've got a score to settle.

[ Groans ] Nothing I'm doing is working.

Because your alien powers don't belong on this planet.

Now, get out of my way before I --

[ Muffled yelling ] Hey, there, bad-guy Ben.

Don't get excited, Tennyson.

I'm not here for you.

I'm here for that ungrateful tin can!

Forever Knight: You want to know why I didn't choose you?

♪♪

-Aah! -Aah! Whoa!

It's because you're just a cheap Tennyson knock-off.

I can't let them do this alone.

Looks like you're up, Rath.

-Aah! -Aah!

Cheap knock-off, huh?

Forever Knight: Finally.

Take this, Forever Loser!

Max, are you hearing this?

It's some low-level interference!

[ All grunt ]

Whoa. Someone is talking.

Or some thing.

No.

[ Growls ]

Aah!

You insolent -- What?

I got Forever Knight's glove?

Gwen, that there is Forever Knight's portal control.

Use it to --

-Ben! -Let me see it.

Aah! Gwen, you handle the portals!

I'll take Forever Knight.

♪♪

Ha! Call me a knock-off again!

How could you do this to me? I was the best fighter you had.

You were only a useless pawn.

I'm nobody's pawn!

Huh?

Guys, I found the portal back to the present. Aah!

-Gwen! -Gwen!

-Uh-oh. -You think you're any match

for Forever Knight?

Get away from my cousin.

Gwen, grab my hand!

Kevin, grab on!

Kevin, hand over Tennyson

and make yourself useful for once.

-[ Growls ] -Kevin, think about this.

You're not a bad guy.

See, that's where you're wrong.

-What? -Wait! Kevin!

I'm the baddest you've ever seen!

Surprise!

Forever Knight: No!

Kevin, no!

I'm the cool one!

[ Both groan ]

And Kevin steals the spotlight again.

You really want to be trapped in the past?

All right, I'll let him have this one.

Ben: Then we were being chased by Forever Knight

through the time portal. He almost had us,

until Kevin tried to be cooler than me again.

I get it, Ben, but you're still grounded.

Don't run off like that again, okay?

Whatever the trouble, we can always face it together.

I know, cuz.

You can always count on your family.

-Yeah. Wait -- Vin? -Yeah. Wait -- Vin?

Call me Uncle Vinny.

I'm part of the Tennyson family now.

Now, that's some good parenting.
