08x09 - The End of an Era

[bunniefuu]

Intruder alert on level ,

Future Animo: Do that cyber voodoo that you do so well!

Humungoopsaur: Get away from that door, Animo!

Future Animo: That's Dr, Animo!

[ grunting ]

[ beep ]

My pets should keep you two busy,

[ laughs evilly ]

[ both growl and croak ]

What are those things?

Your archenemies are seriously disgusting,

Humungoopsaur: Hey, it's not like I pick them!

[ beeping ]

[ grunting ]

Ugh! Here, Let me,

Humungoopsaur: Two more punches and I would have had it open,

Well, now you can punch him instead,

Future Animo: You're too late, Tennysons!

Thanks to your chronoporter, I shall travel back in time to

retrieve the arc, supplying

myself with enough DNA to create an army of mutant creatures!

Say goodbye to your past and hello to oblivion!

Ben , : Spanner? What are you -- where --

We haven't seen you in decades!

Yeah, I've been really busy,

Ben , : Okay, Uh, well, thanks for the assist,

We're about to leave for plumber headquarters,

We'll drop Animo off on the way,

Oh, yeah, Grandpa Max is retiring today,

You know about that? Uh, y-yeah,

It's all over the extranet,

Ben , : And we're gonna be late if our son can't get his act together,

Ken! Hurry up, buddy! What is with that kid?

Don't look at me, That's all your side of the family,

I'm coming! I'm coming!

I was looking for this,

The omnitrix? Unh-unh,

You're still grounded, kiddo,

It's an official function, so one of us should wear it, for old times' sake,

For old times' sake? Wow, That is a real stretch, even for you,

Aw, come on! What if there's an alien att*ck or something?

Ben , : If there's an alien att*ck -- hey, where'd Spanner go?

The man said he was busy, Now grab the mad doctor and let's get going,

Ben , : Yes, dear,

Ben to plumber base,

Four to teleport,

Future Animo: I'm not mad,

Blukic: You are now arriving at plumber base,

Barf bags are on your right,

Any lingering dizziness is perfectly normal,

[ indistinct conversations ]

Wow, There is some serious political power in this room,

Tell me about it, Isn't that the guy from the Happysnax commercial?

Future Rook: Ben, you made it -- and on time,

Ben , : Don't have to sound so surprised,

Are you ready to fill Grandpa Max's shoes?

Future Rook: I do not believe an exchange of footwear will be required,

Ben , : No, Rook, That's a figure of --

Oh, you got me again,

Future Rook: That comedic ruse never gets old,

But it will be a challenge to perform the duties of

magistratus as well as your grandfather has,

Future Max: Nonsense, Rook,

You're gonna do just fine,

Truth is you've been top man around here for years,

Future Rook: That is kind of you to say, magis--

Future Max: Ah, Call me "Max,"

Might as well get used to it,

Ben , : I know the invitation said no gifts,

but I just couldn't show up emptyhanded,

Future Animo: You're finally retiring, Maxwell?

This place won't be the same without you,

Future Max: We've kept your room just like you left it,

Future Kevin: Tennyson,

Ben , : Levin,

Ha, So, you're taking over Rook's old job, huh?

Future Kevin: Hey, somebody's got to keep the rooters in line,

And, Gwen, I hear you finally completed your second doctorate,

Future Gwen: I know, I know,

Seriously, I would have finished a year ago if I hadn't been named high magus,

[ cheers and applause ]

Future Kevin: You guys are just in time,

The president of earth is arriving,

Ben , : This I got to see,

J, Jonah Jones here, bringing you exclusive Jones network

coverage of the president's speech,

Harrangue: Uh, can we do that again, Mr, Jones?

I, uh, forgot to put in a sim card,

Harrangue! Remind me why I don't fire you,

[ elevator clacking ]

[ elevator beeps ]

Greetings, fellow earth-dwellers!

Subdora: Okay, I'm ready inside,

I'm outside the vault,

Maltruant: Well done, Subdora,

You will wait for precisely , seconds and then proceed,

Exo-Skull: Hey, I know you're the evil mastermind and all,

but, uh, this place is plumber central,

What are we waiting around for?

Maltruant: A random event, a twist of fate,

an occurrence no one could possibly foresee --

unless, of course, you're a time traveler who's been there before,

Ben , : Greetings, Mr, President,

"greetings"? Come on, you guys,

Granted, I am the most powerful man on the planet, but I'm still the same old Argit,

Future Kevin: That's what we're afraid of,

Hey, hey, hey! Uncle Argit!

Kenny! Look at you -- practically a juvenile delinquent!

Hey, uh, where's the, um, uh,,,

Ah, my parents won't let me wear it,

I'll take care of it, I mean, hello!

President of earth!

[ alarm blaring ]

[ all gasp ]

[ crowd murmuring ]

Future Rook: It appears a massive solar flare has released

a stream of high-energy particles,

[ murmuring continues ]

There is no cause for alarm,

This station if fully shielded from ionizing radiation,

At the very worst, we might experience,,,

[ all screaming ]

Hey, watch the jacket!

Future Rook: ,,,a complete shutdown of all electronic systems,

Everyone, please -- do not panic!

[ all shouting ]

Future Kevin: Hey, settle down

or I'll start knocking heads together!

Future Gwen: Kevin!

Ben , : Your people skills have improved,

In the absence of light or gravity,

the wealthy and powerful of earth float like, uh,,,

Harrangue: Very important balloons?

[ clears throat ] You know, you can be replaced by a tripod and a remote control,

Future Max: Everyone, please, You are in no danger,

The flare just knocked out the lights and the artificial gravity,

We'll have everything back on in a moment,

Future Rook: You did not mention that life support is also shut down,

Future Kevin: I'm thinking we should probably keep the

"running out of oxygen" part to ourselves,

Subdora: seconds,

He may be crazy and evil, but the boss has a great sense of timing,

There you are, Come to mama, little Annihilargh!

Future Max: I'll go down to the power core and reset the breakers,

That should bring gravity and life support back online,

Ben , : I'll go with you,

Future Max: No, Ben, I need all of you to keep everyone calm

and start moving them down to the hangar deck,

Be ready to launch the emergency pods just in case,

Subdora: Hey, I got the annihilargh, but this star core -- she's a fake!

Maltruant: A fake?!

Impossible!

I know I sensed the star core on this station,

One moment,

[ indistinct conversations ]

Future Gwen: This way! This way, please!

[ gasps ] It's Maltruant,

He's on top of the station, looking for something,

Like what? Future Gwen: I don't know, I just felt his mind searching,

Ben , : Whatever he's looking for, he's gonna find a serious beatdown,

Future Gwen: You guys head for the upper airlock,

I'll tell Kevin where we're going and meet you there,

Maltruant: Ah! I have located the star core,

You will proceed to the hangar level and wait for instructions,

Subdora: [ sighs ] Whatever you say, bossman,

It's Max Tennyson, He's coming right this way,

Exo-Skull: Max Tennyson?

Listen, sweetie, I'll get the star core,

You just stay put,

I don't want you taking any chances with that guy,

Subdora: [ gasps ] Mm, Don't you worry about me, my darling,

I just found an old friend to help me out,

Future Animo: Magistratus!

What say we make your retirement permanent?!

Future Max: [ grunts ]

Subdora: That should keep him busy,

Note to self -- reinforce neck bolts,

Future Max: I still got it, Phew!

Ladies and gentlemen and others, please float in a calm

and orderly fashion through the access tunnel to the hangar deck!

Exo-Skull: [ grunts ] [ all scream ]

Okay, Everybody out, Thank you for flying the plumber express,

Exo-Skull: The star core -- where is it?

[ growls ]

[ beeping, whirring ]

[ grunts ]

[ crashing ]

Well, ex-no-skull, don't think

it hasn't been a swell time had by all, 'cause it hasn't,

Maltruant: What are you doing, you hapless clod?!

I told you the star core is on the hangar deck!

What part of that is so difficult to understand?!

Exo-Skull: Overgrown wind-up toy,

Future Gwen: That should give us some breathing room,

Two Maltruants?

Maltruant: Or so it would appear to your primitive eyes,

True -- I cannot be in two places at once, but if I

time-shift rapidly enough, I appear to be everywhere!

Ben , : One for each of us, How considerate,

Okay, It's hero time!

[ biomnitrix beeps ]

Oh, come on! What now?!

Maybe that solar flare knocked everything out,

Ben , : He's a clock, How come he's still working?

Maltruant: Ah, You see? I skipped over that moment in time, so I still have power,

Future Gwen: So do I!

[ warble! ]

[ warble! ]

Maltruant: Please!

I travel back and forth through time!

You don't think I saw that coming?

Ben , : Well, it's been a while since I was in a good, old-fashioned fistfight,

[ shing! ]

[ warble! ]

[ both grunt ]

Ben , : Aaaaah!

[ biomnitrix beeps ]

About time!

[ all screaming ]

Future Rook: Please board the escape vehicles in an orderly fashion, to a ship,

We've got trouble, Exo-skull is on his way down to the hangar deck,

and walls seem to be optional!

[ grunting ]

[ creak! Pop! ]

They're after me! They're after me, I tell ya!

Future Kevin: Why does everything always have to be about you?

Hello! Is your name "Mr, President"?!

They're gonna hold me for ransom -- or worse!

Secret service, protect your president!

Future Rook: How did you ever get elected?

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Watch the face! Watch the face!

Future Kevin: Wait,

He's after your jewelry?

Exo-Skull: Oh, yeah,

[ laughs evilly ]

That's the stuff,

Future Kevin: Argit, what did you do?

I kind of, sort of took the star core and had it made into a necklace,

The one in the plumber vault is a fake, but I swear I only wear

it on special occasions,

It brings out the color of my eyes,

Exo-Skull: [ grunting ]

[ all scream ]

Exo-Skull: [ growls ]

Kev, buddy, I'd love to stay,

but I have a responsibility to the people of earth, you know?

Re-elect Argit, !

And we've just seen the

president making a heroic retreat from this donnybrook --

Future Kevin: Aah! Ugh!

Subdora: Ohh, I missed all the fun,

Exo-Skull: Aw, don't worry, honey bunny,

I think the boss has some action topside,

Shall we?

Ugh!

Atomic x: Spanner, what are you -- look out!

Dad! Ben , : Wait,

What did you call me?

It was you all this time? Why didn't you tell me?

After you took away my omnitrix, I wanted to prove to

you that I was ready to be a hero,

When paradox gave me this time-shifter gizmo --

Ben , : Paradox gave that to you?

Then he must -- listen, Ken, I need you to go get help,

I'm not leaving you!

Ben , : Ken, do what your dad tells you for once!

There's only one person in the universe who can help us now,

[ both grunt ]

Maltruant: Ben Tennyson, savior of the universe,

[ laughs ] It's really quite laughable, you know?

Ben , : [ grunting ]

Future Gwen: [ grunts ]

Maltruant: Honestly, you're just becoming tiresome,

And now nothing can throw a Spanner into my devious clock workings!

Ach! Me and my big mouth,

Ben: Time's up, Maltruant,

Maltruant: Somehow I remember your quips being better,

No, They're always this bad, believe me,

Ben: Aw, who asked you?

Don't you remember that I always win in these situations?

Maltruant: Yes, always,

But not this time!

Exo-Skull: I got to tell you, boss, the star core is something else,

I mean, the sheer power,,,

Maltruant: Of course!

Did you think I wanted it for just grins and giggles?

Subdora: And your annihilargh,

Both: The annihilargh?!

Now how 'bout getting it away from the crazy villain and

saving the universe, hmm?

Maltruant: Keep these three busy,

My work must not be disturbed!

Oh, we're gonna do some disturbing,

att*ck!

Save them!

Exo-Skull: [ growls ] Batter up!

Ben: Come on, omnitrix, Give me something that can fly,

Whampire: Yes! Thank you!

Okay, big, bad, and brooding,

Time for a little mind control!

Sleep!

Sleep!

Exo-Skull: But I'm not sleepy,

Subdora: He doesn't have enough of a mind to control,

Exo-Skull: Oh, you, too?!

[ scoffs ] Come on, It's the armor,

Subdora: [ grunting ]

Future Rook: I would advise you not to use that,

Subdora: I don't take advice! Aaaah!

Future Rook: A positron blaster has quite a kick,

Get them inside!

Subdora: Let go of me, you!

Whampire: Rook, behind you!

Future Rook: [ gasps ]

Whampire: att*ck!

Subdora: Aah!

Exo-Skull: Ow! Oh, honey bunch, not with the claws!

Subdora: [ hisses ]

[ roars ]

Future Rook: Ugh!

Whampire: It's like trying to stop a train with a wet cat,

Oh, for pete's sake! If anyone cares to listen, I may have a solution,

Whampire: Fine,

What do I do with this?

Use your head, dear boy,

Whampire: I was afraid you were going to say that,

Rook, target Subdora,

Release him,

[ both groan ]

[ shatter! ]

Exo-Skull: [ groaning ]

Ben: Ow, I'm gonna feel that in the morning,

Maltruant: Drop your weapons!

No! Forget me! Save the u--

Maltruant: This has all been very amusing,

but you now need to drop your weapons or I will

turn little time teen here into dust, ja?

Ben: What is it that you want?

Maltruant: Eh, nothing, really -- just a little more time,

,,, ,,, ,

[ roars ]

Whoa! Maltruant: Oh, thank you, Eon,

Your timing is impeccable, as always,

And now back to your own dimension you go,

What are you doing? We had a deal,

Maltruant: We did, Oh, life can be so unfair,

I wish I could say I will remember you all fondly,

but when I'm finished, there will be no you to remember!
