[ explosions ]

Humungousaur: [ roars ]

Billy: [ sneers ]

You forgot to say,
"it's hero time."

Humungousaur: Sorry, kid.
No time for autographs.

Huh?

Hot, hot, hot, hot,
hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!

Billy: Ben Tennyson,
I demand that you ...

Humungousaur: Dude, I don't
have time for fan boys right now.

We're in the middle of fight here!

[ thud ]

[ growls ]

Billy: Halt!

Rook: Um, Ben, I do not
believe this is a fan boy.

Billy: Ha!
Furthest thing from it, in fact.

I just wanted you to acknowledge

me as your
arch-nemesis and destroyer.

And now that that's out of the
way, Humungo-bore...

att*ck.

Billy: Huh?

Humungousaur: I don't know
you're controlling those things,

but tell them to back off.

Billy: Unh-unh.

Rook: Ben, that child may, in fact,
be an adversary, rather than a ...

- Humungousaur: Duck!
- Rook: Where?

[ gasps ]

Humungousaur: [ grunting ]

Missed!

Close one.

Mazuma: This is not safe.
You must leave.

Billy: No!
I want to see Tennyson suffer.

Hold still, you big lizard!

Rook: Uhh!

Uhh!

[ footsteps approach ]

[ beeping ]

Ben: All right.
Start talking, kid ... now!

Who are you?

Billy: Of course.
You don't even remember me.

Hello!
I'm Billy Billions.

We were in middle school together.

I sat behind you in
Mrs. Rheault's class.

[ school bell rings ]

I was richer than you.
I was smarter than you.

I should have been
running that school.

[ beep ]

[ thud ]

[ school bell rings ]

- Now do you remember?
- Ben: Um, no.

Billy: Then maybe you'll
remember this!

[ beeping ]

You weren't smarter than me.
You were just lucky.

So I decided to show
you up once and for all!

Ben: Wait.
So instead of zapping me,

you got sucked into dimension ?

[ both laughing ]

- Billy: Not funny.
- Ben: [ chuckling ] Oh, come on, man.

You got to admit, it's
a little bit funny.

[ teeth chattering ]

Billy: I don't got to admit
anything! I said it's not funny!

There I was, stranded in a
dimension where time stood still.

A place where all organic life
had been hunted into extinction.

Destroy all flesh and the
works of flesh.

[ rumbling ]

Billy: You know the worst part?

Ben: That five years of
isolation drove you crazy?

Billy: That five years of
isolation drove me ... no!

The worst part is, because of dimension

's weirdo time
effect, I stopped aging.

So I'm stuck looking like this!

My body stopped growing,
but not my brain.

I'm a genius, by the
way, born of geniuses.

My parents basically
invented modern robotics.

[ rattling ]

Destroy all flesh and the
works of flesh.

[ beep ]

Billy: After that, reopening the portal
to Earth was only a matter of time.

- Ben: Huh? Sorry, what?
- Billy: Weren't you listening?!

Ben: When you're a
world-famous superhero, you've

heard one "blah blah blah" evil
tirade, you've heard them all.

- Billy: "World-famous"?
- Rook: Yes.

According to Ben, he has saved
the universe billions of times.

Ben: [ scoffs ]
At least.

Billy: Of course you became
world famous.

Why wouldn't you be?

That all changes ... right now!

Ben: Aaah!

Young Ben: I feel... weird.

What's going on?
Rook, you okay?

Young Rook: I am entirely not sure.

How embarrassing.

- Young Ben: Dude, you have a tail.
- Young Rook: That is the only

thing you notice about our
predicament?

Young Ben: Your voice is kind
of weird, too.

Young Ben: Seriously, Rook,
you have a tail!

Young Rook: I'm Inthak. It...
falls off at puberty. Stop that.

Stop that right now.
Stop that!

Billy: Just a little something
I cooked up when I was

stranded in dimension .
Now you know it feels to be

stuck looking like a kid
for the rest of your life!

Just some kid that nobody knows.

Young Ben: Change us back!

Billy: You don't scare me, Tennyson.
I've seen you in action.

You can't even control that thing.

Young Ben: Hey, no matter
what I turn into, I'll still be

- able to take you down.
- Billy: Like I'd give you a chance.

[ beep ]

Young Ben: Rook, run!

Young Rook: [ gasps ]

[ Omnitrix powers down ]

Error. Biometric data
does not match Ben Tennyson.

Young Ben: That's
because I'm again!

What do you want from me?

Error. Vocal pattern
does not match Ben Tennyson.

Please provide alternate
identification.

Young Ben: I'm Benjamin Kirby
Tennyson. I live in Bellwood.

My grandfather's name is
Max Tennyson.

I like soccer and chili fries and...

I'm scared of peacocks!

Identity confirmed.
Thank you.

[ beeping ]

Ballweevil!
Gaaaaak!

Billy: Pppssshh!

This is a piece of cake.
Hey, Mazuma, who's more famous?

The superhero or the
guy who destroys him?

Uhh!

Young Rook: Uhhh!

[ grunts ]

[ beep ]

Ballweevil: [ grunting ]

Young Rook: Uhhh!

Mazuma: I advise you to surrender.

I have injured all of your extremities.

Young Rook: Almost all.

Uhhhhhh!

[ grunts ]

[ gasps ]

Uhhhh!

Ballweevil: You okay?
[ groans ]

Yes. However, our foes
have left the scene.

[ beeping ]

We should go to headquarters.

Perhaps the Plumbers
can return us to normal.

Young Ben: Good idea.

Uhh!
[ thud ]

Young Rook: [ grunting ]

Young Ben: Yes, I am
Ben Tennyson, superhero.

Saved the world a few times.
Maybe you've heard of me.

[ laughing ]

O.M.G.!
That is so adorable!

"I'm a superhero.
Maybe you've heard of me."

[ laughing ]

Young Ben: What was that thing
you said back at the library?

- Young Rook: How embarrassing?
- Young Ben: Bingo.

Max: Blukic and Driba are
working as fast as they can.

Young Ben: Then they
have to work faster.

I need to be normal so I can
battle Billy Billions and his

- bionic babysitter.
- Max: Patience, Ben.

I know that you're worried,
but we're doing everything

possible to help. I
promise, it will be okay.

Young Ben: Come on, grandpa.

I just look like I'm ,
but I'm still ... in here.

Max: Well, then, in that case,
stop whining and act your age.

Young Ben: What are you guys
doing to Rook?

We are about to reverse
the de-aging effect.

Obviously.

[ electricity buzzing ]

Young Rook: Yadity-yadity!

[ buzzing stops ]

As we said, we have no clue
how to reverse the de-aging effect.

- Obviously.
- Max: Well, it looks like our

only choice is to get that
de-ager away from Billy.

Young Ben: Works for me.
You in, Rook?

Young Rook: Obviously.

Billy: Once the projector's
working again, I'll use it to

send Ben into dimension forever.

Then I'll be the winner,
and he'll be the loser.

- Mazuma: And then what?
- Billy: Then I can take my Revenger

against everyone in Bellwood
who ever gave me a hard time.

That's right, lunch lady!
You're next.

Hey, robots, what's the holdup?

What part of "hurry up" don't
you understand?

[ beep ]

I said faster!
Faster! Faster!

I said faster!

[ clonk, clonk ]

[ zapping ]

Yowch!

[ clank! ]

This realm is overrun with
useless organic life-forms.

Activate the portal projector
and initialize invasion protocol.

This dimension must be sterilized.

Billy: How dare you.
Halt! Halt, I say!

I am your master.
Obey me!

Together: Destroy all flesh
and the works of flesh.

Billy: Stop! Cease! Desist!
I command you!

Together: Destroy all flesh
and the works of flesh.

Destroy all flesh and
the works of flesh.

Billy: Ohh.

Young Rook: Billions
technology tower.

Young Ben: [ scoffs ] The
kid's got his own skyscraper?

What's he so jealous of me for?

Billy: Aaaaaahh!

[ objects clattering ]

I knew you wouldn't leave me.

Ahem!
Ben Tennyson.

Well, I hate to seem rude,
but... I have a dentist's

- appointment, so if you'll excuse me.
- Young Ben: Not so fast!

Billy: [ gagging ]

Young Ben: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Young Rook: Drop him!

- Mazuma: Master Billy?
- Billy: Okay, okay.

You let me go, and she'll let you go.

Young Ben: Ow, ow, ow!
Uhh!

Let me guess. Dimension robots
plus big expl*si*n equals your

super-genius brain screwing up royally.

Billy: I had everything under control!

Come on! Let me see!
I bet I could figure out how it works.

Young Rook: The proto-tool is
a very complicated mechanism.

- Billy: Come on!
- Young Ben: I can't believe

you built your tower right next
to Captain Nemesis' building.

Billy: Yeah, except my building
is taller than his building.

Young Ben: Why does that matter?

You keep trying to prove that
you're better than everybody else.

But what happens?
You end up making this huge mess

that you don't even know how to fix.

Billy: I'll think of something.
After all, I am a super-genius.

Young Ben: Based on what?

'Cause you brought dimension
robots here to att*ck me?

Oh, brilliant.
Except Nemesis did it first.

Even that pocket watch
is a wannabe Omnitrix.

Honestly, have you ever
had an original idea?

Billy: I came up with
"I.Q. Lad" myself.

Young Ben: What is that?
Your super-villain name?

- Billy: As a matter of fact, it is.
- Young Ben: Well, it's super-lame.

Billy: Like you could come up
with something better?

Young Ben: Look, you think
you're an evil genius, right?

Then go for something like ...
I don't know ... "Whiz Kid"

or "Wits' End" or...
"Brain Power."

Billy: Ooh!
That is a good one.

Young Ben: I didn't
say you could use it.

Billy: Then why did
you even mention it?

Young Ben: To prove that you're not
as smart as you think you are, Billy!

You're just a spoiled brat, Billy!

A petty, jealous copycat, Billy!

Billy: At least you know my name now.

Young Rook: Could you settle this

after we stop a
pan-dimensional invasion?

Young Ben: As soon as we're
inside, you get the de-ager and

turn us back to normal.
Then we'll stop the robots.

Billy: No. First, we stop the robots.
Then, I turn you back.

Young Ben: These guys could
use a blast from Shocksquatch.

Come on, Shocksquatch!

How about...

[ deep voice ] Shocksquatch?
It's me, Omnitrix.

Hello? Anything?
[ beeping ]

- Blox: Blox?!
- Billy: Oh! Well, that's useful.

Blox: You just have to be
smart enough to adapt, Billy.

Mazuma: Quiet.
They might hear you.

[ beeping ]

- What are you doing?
- Billy: I'm ... I'm thinking.

Mazuma: While ben Tennyson
steals the spotlight, as usual.

Billy: Not this time.

Hey, Tennyson!
Looky what I got.

Blox: Billy! Look out!

Billy: Huh? Uhh!

Young Rook: Please be careful
with that device.

Billy: Aaahh!

[ both grunting ]

Blox: You're going nowhere
fast, dish heads!

Billy: Again?! I have got to
put a better grip on that thing.

Cool!

Destroy all flesh and the
works of flesh.

Blox: No, Billy!
Grab the de-ager!

Billy: Huh?
What?

Young Rook: I told
you it was complicated.

[ buzzing ]

[ zapping ]

Billy: Aaahh!

Young Rook: Uhh!

Billy: Ohhhh!

[ grunting ]

I did it.
I did it!

I overloaded the portal
generator. I saved the Earth.

Young Rook: After having
been the one who doomed it.

Billy: [ singsong voice ]
I saved the world! Ha ha. Me!

Billy Billions.
I mean, I.Q. Lad. I mean ...

Blox: Been there, done that.
[ beeping ]

Young Rook: A billion times.

Billy: [ normal voice ] I did it
this time ... not you, Ben Tennyson!

Me! Me!
Meeee!

[ rip! ]
Uhhh!

[ clunk, clunk ]

Young Ben: That's gonna hurt
when he wakes up.

The de-aging ray.
Ready to say goodbye to that tail?

Young Rook: I do not know.
I was just getting used to it again.

[ smack! ]
I am over it.

Ben, what happened in there?

Ben: Guys, guys, please.
One at a time.

- Was it Captain Nemesis?
- Will you show us one of your aliens?

Billy: It's not fair!
It's not fair!

I did all the work!
I saved the world!

And he gets all the credit!
Again!

Max: Stop whining, Billy.
[ thud ]

- Act your age.
- Ben: Yeah. Grow up, will you?
