03x01 - Vengeance of Vilgax

[bunniefuu]

[ buzzes ]

Synaptak!

Hang on!

I'm coming for you!

[ buzzes ]

Please be all right.

Where is he?!

Where is Ultimo?!

ULTIMO:
Right here, Vilgax!

And rest assured you
will pay dearly

for your craven att*ck on
my teammates.

The galactic code of conduct --

Aah!

Ohh!

VILGAX:
The galactic code of conduct

says that a conqueror's
challenge

is between the
greatest warrior

of the attacking
race and

the greatest warrior of the
planet under att*ck.

That's me...and you.

Your teammates cheated.

But that won't change
the outcome.

I am the most powerful hero
on this planet.

I'll perish before I let it fall
into your hands.

Yes. You will.

I salute you.

You have withstood an as*ault
from the Ruby Ray of Ulo.

[groans ]

I...can't...let you...win!

The battle is over,
hero.

Go now to your rest.

[exhales deeply]

[ metal clanks ]

VILGAX:
People of planet T.K.,

I have defeated
your champion!

By the rules of the galactic code,

as ratified by
the Casey-Kelly accords,

I claim
dominion over this planet.

Congratulations, lord Vilgax,
conqueror of worlds.

Prepare the transfer,
Lackey.

As you command, master.

[ metal clanks ]

[ machine whirring ]

It is done.

Ultimo's powers are now yours.

The power of the
greatest heroes

of worlds surges within me!

Finally, I am ready to take my
revenge.

Master?

We travel to Earth,

where I will destroy that
backwater

world's greatest hero --
Ben Tennyson!

KEVIN:
Aaahhhh!

Aah!
Let me go!

[ hisses ]

I thought snakes were supposed

to rattle before they
strike.

I'm not a r-r-rattlesnake.

Whatever.

I was just making conversation.

I was looking for some
metal to absorb.

[ metal clanking ]

Hold still!

Aah!

Back off!

Snake venom burns!

I s-swallow my prey whole.

I did not need to know that.

Kevin?
You okay?

I will be, Gwen,
as soon as I armor up.

[groans ]

This would be a lot easier if
Ben was here,

like he promised,
an hour ago.

Guess that fancy watch
of his doesn't keep good time!

I just wonder where he is.

[slurping ]

Ahh!

Pardon the intrusion,
Ben Tennyson.

I mean you no harm.

I am Lukic, senior ambassador of
the Dracosian empire.

[ burps ]

Sorry.

More room out than in.

You are wise, indeed,
Ben Tennyson.

I have been granted the great
honor of presenting you with this.

As a small token of gratitude
for your part

in saving all life
in the universe

from extinction at the hands of
the Highbreed,

my people present you with
the galactic medal of honor --

The highest award a
non-Dracosian can be given.

Thanks.

I could probably turn into one
of you guys.

The people of Dracosia marvel

at your power and
offer you our gratitude.

Yeah.

That's what they all say.

TV ANNOUNCER:
This summer,
Ishiyama and Kenko play

the game of their lives!

"Sumo Slammers"
the motion picture!

[screams ]

[gasps ]

[ cellphone rings ]

[ beeps ]
Yeah? Hello?

GWEN:
Ben?

It's your cousin Gwen.

Uh-huh.

GWEN:
Is this a bad time?

Yeah, kinda.

There's going to be a
"Sumo Slammers" movie,

and I'm waiting to see if the
commercial's coming back on.

GWEN:
Well, I'm really sorry
to disturb you, Ben.

I-it's just that you're late for
our mission!

And the bad guy
is kicking our butts.

So if it's not too much trouble,
hero up and get over here!

Uh, sorry, Gwen.
Guess I just forgot.

GWEN:
Now!

Jetray!

Cannonbolt!

About time you got here.

There's going to
be a "Sumo Slammers" movie.

Really?!
Live-action?

Guys, focus!

Bad guy on the loose.

It's not a problem, Gwen.

Creeps like this, um,
what's your name?

I am S-Serpent, the snake
that walks like a man.

[ bones crunch ]

[ bones crunching ]

Is it okay if I
call you "Roadkill" --

the snake that only made it
halfway across the street?

[groans ]

I'll take that as a yes.

That didn't take long.

We've been fighting
that guy for over an hour!

Oh.

"Oh"?
Where were you?!

Watching some TV,
getting another medal.

That reminds me --

I should get some kind
of trophy case.

You are so full of
yourself lately.

What's the big deal?

I got here and I took out
the bad guy for you.

What?

MANNY:
Shotgun!
I called it!

You're already riding
shotgun.

Why do you keep calling it over
and over?

Because it's fun to yell
"shotgun."

Shotgun!

MAX:
Okay, Manny,
that's enough.

This is a Plumber's training
mission, not a --

[ beeping ]

What is that?

Planetary defense alert.

We just put the satellites in a
month ago.

An alien w*r fleet is heading
for Earth.

I take back what I said earlier,
kids.

This isn't a training mission.

This is the real deal.

[tires squealing ]

[ horn blares ]

[ indistinct radio chatter]

[ helicopters whirring ]

[whirring ]

[voice amplified ]
Okay, buddy, last time.

Either come along quietly,

or we're gonna take
you down hard.

Doubtful.

[ clicks ]

[ beeping ]

[ beeping intensifies ]

[ men screaming ]

[ men groaning ]

If you distract me again,
I shall not be so merciful.

[ machine whirring ]

It is done.

No power on this pitiful planet
can breach my force field.

All within may bear witness

to the historic events
about to unfold.

The master comes.

People of Earth,
I am Vilgax.

Shortly, you will know me as
your master.

Pursuant to the galactic code
of conduct, lord Vilgax

challenges this planet's greatest
protector to a trial by combat.

To the victor, the Earth.

[tires squealing ]

[tires screech ]

MANNY:
Never gonna happen,
fish face.

Listen to the kid, Vilgax.

He knows what he's talking about.

Max Tennyson...

and a particularly Motley Crew
of new Plumbers, I see.

Cooper! No!

[ missiles screaming ]

How many times do I have to
tell you --

watch out for the laser beams.

You're very fast.

But are you faster than this?

Ohh!

Helen!

[grunting ]

Put me down!

Precisely my intention.

[screaming ]

[ inhales deeply]

[wind howling ]

Aah!

[groans ]

Aah!

[groans ]

Now...

where are you hiding,
Max Tennyson?

Closer than you think!

Oh. There you are.

Aah!

[groans ]

Don't waste time
draining their feeble powers.

Leave them here to deliver
my message.

In one Earth rotation,

I will return to this place

to battle the Earth hero
called Ben ...

for the fate of the Earth.

And if he does not come?

Then I will exercise
my legal rights...

and destroy this pitiful planet.

GWEN:
I'm not kidding, Ben!

I'm really mad at you.

But you won't stay mad
at me.

I'm adorable.

You're completely full
of yourself!

Which is forgivable
because I'm so adorable.

[slurps ]

You were late for a mission!

Kevin and I could
have been k*lled!

And I don't think
you're adorable.

I think you're obnoxious.

Obnoxious -- that's what Gwen
used to call me all the time.

Am I using it right?

Couldn't have said it
better myself.

You've been obnoxious
ever since you --

Saved the whole entire
universe?

See?
You're doing it again.

Obnoxious.

After stopping the
Highbreed invasion,

I think we deserve to enjoy our
success.

[scoffs ]

So lighten up.

Have a smoothy on me.

Okay.

Here's a smoothy on you.

[ both laugh ]

I hope you like pineapple.

Come on, Ben.
This is a new shirt.

[ beeping ]
Wait.

It's the Plumbers' com link.

That's got to be...

Grandpa Max.

Bad news, Ben.

Vilgax is back.

You're kidding me!

Last time,
I threw him into space.

MAX:
I'm sure he remembers.

Vilgax has issued a conqueror's
challenge to you.

Ben can't accept that.

Sure I can.

What is it?

The Galvin set it up to
limit the destruction

caused by interplanetary wars.

Rather than risk mass
destruction,

both planets can choose a single
warrior to represent them.

The winner becomes the ruler of
both worlds.

And Vilgax is
challenging me?

Cool!
When and where do I kick his butt?

[g*nf*re]

Ooh!

That's going to leave a mark.

You'd think.

He's more powerful than ever,

and we barely used to b*at
him in the old days.

We were like years old.

You see how easy he

took down Max and his new
Plumbers?

Those were the rookies.

We're the "A" team.

We defeated the Highbreed and...

BOTH:
Saved the whole entire
universe.

We know.

I still think you're
gonna need an edge.

What's that for?

You know your
Omnitrix?

Yeah.

We're gonna hack it.

[ crickets chirping ]

[electronic beeping ]

I don't think this is
such a good idea.

Relax.

I've been, uh, acquiring stuff we need
to fix the Omnitrix for months.

Years, if you count back

to when you were trying to steal
it from me.

Let it go, Ben.

It's too risky.

It's riskier not to.

I figured out a lot about how
the Omnitrix works,

but if we can bypass the
safeguards and

unlock the master control,

I'll be able to do anything
with it.

You ever think there's a reason they
call them "Safeguards"?

If we get this working,

I'll have full control of every
transformation in the watch.

Vilgax won't stand a chance.

I'm in.

Let me see if I can access
the user interface.

[electronic beeping ]

Ooh. Sorry.

Are you sure you know
what you're doing?

As much as ever.

[electronic beeping ]

See?
Nothing to worry abou--

[ beeping intensifies ]

Azmuth?

Yes.
Azmuth, creator of the Omnitrix.

And I don't think I've
ever thanked you for that.

Really nice of you.

This is no time for jests,
Ben Tennyson.

My disappointment with
you is great.

Yeah.

The line starts over here.

Once I believed you possessed

the maturity to wield the most
powerful w*apon in the universe.

And then you paid the
slightest bit of attention.

It is only very recently that Ben

has strayed from the hero's
path.

But I saved --

I know what you have
achieved.

That is the only reason that I
allow you to keep the Omnitrix.

My hope is that you will grow
into the role.

But the full power cannot be
entrusted to you.

Do not tamper with the Omnitrix,
Ben Tennyson.

You are not ready.

Whoa.

Seriously.

You really dodged a b*llet that
time, Ben.

Are you kidding me?

This is obviously a test.

Test?

Sure.

Azmuth wants me to take the
situation into my own hands.

If I want the power,
I have to earn it.

That is so not what he meant.

Want to help me?

No.

Scared of the little guy?

Yes.

I'm pretty sure I know
how to do this myself, anyway.

[ machine whirring ]

Ben, that doesn't look
right.

Turn it off!

[alarm blaring ]

Never mind that.

It's overloading.

Dump the watch!

It'll take too long!

Run for it, both of you!

[whirring intensifies ]

Kevin:
Maybe I can...
