06x02 - And Then There Was Ben

[bunniefuu]

Amazing, a universe without an Omnitrix.

Someone is kidnapping all the different
Bens throughout space and time.

A Chronosapien time b*mb.

The moment I discovered your universe,
I knew I had found the means

to rid the multiverse of any Ben Tennyson
who had ever even heard of the Omnitrix.

So, what do we do now?

Go back to where it all began...
At the beginning.

No way. We're on a spaceship!
In space!

Hey...

♪ Ben , he's a kid, and
he wants to have fun ♪

♪ but when you need a superhero,
he gets the job done ♪

♪ Ben , with a device
that he wears on his arm ♪

♪ he can change his shape
and save the world from harm ♪

♪ when trouble's taking place
he gets right in its face, Ben ♪

♪ when lives are on the line
it's hero time ♪

♪ Ben ♪

Master Vilgax, their propulsion
systems have been destroyed.

I'm kind of new at this, but
did we just escape from Vilgax

so we could hide out
in his spaceship?

We are now near the beginning
of the Ben Prime timeline...

The trunk of the Ben Tennyson tree from
which all other Ben realities diverge.

You must reboot this timestream.

And the reboot button is around here?

The trans-dimensional hierarchy
has been rewritten.

There are no push buttons...
Only cause and effect.

So... we need to...?

Make sure Ben Prime discovers
the Omnitrix as he should.

And... where is the Omnitrix?

All right. Time to take this
thing for a test-drive.

Vilgax is gonna wish he'd never been born.

Or... hatched... or whatever.

Let's kick a few butts!

Actually, most of the Galvan species
are known as technological geniuses.

Oh.

Then let's outthink a few butts!

I sure hope I know what I'm doing.

Prepare to board.
I want the Omnitrix now!

Master, our shields have failed.
We are defenseless.

What?! That's impossible!

Not to worry. That pod contains the
Omnitrix, but its trajectory is off.

It will not land near Ben Prime unless
something is done to change its course.

Any suggestions?

I'm gonna hurl!

Aw, man! This is
gonna be the worst vacation ever!

Whoa! A sh**ting star!

Yaaaaah!

Hoo! Somehow, I thought this
hero stuff would be more glamorous.

Huh? Looks like a satellite or something.

What am I waiting for?!

Perhaps a... nudge is required.

Whoa!

Whoa!

A watch?

What's a watch doing in outer space?

Aah! Get off me! Get off!

Mission accomplished.

On the contrary... your
work has only just begun.

Aaaaaaaaaah!

Aah! Aah! I'm on fire!
I'm on fire! Aaaaaaah!

W-what do you mean by
"your work has only just begun"?

While you were successful in
rebooting the Ben Prime timeline,

that also reset the Vilgax continuum.

As well as the alien creep's
master plan to wipe all of me out.

What do I need to do?

Protect and gather the good
you's needed for the ultimate

battle with Eon and the bad you's.

Oh, man.

This crosstime-travel stuff
gives me a mega headache.

Wait! Stop!

Uh, forest fire.

Strange as it may seem, this is
supposed to happen.

Oh, man. I'm gonna
get so busted for this.

I recognize this place.
This is the campsite from the...

Worst summer ever.

So, we're after who... another
-year-old me with an Omnitrix?

Something like that.

How come this Ben isn't
wearing the Omnitrix?

Where is it?

It should be along any time now.

Get out of there!

Huh?! Uoogh!

Not again.

Aah!

This night just keeps getting
weirder and weirder.

Okay... monster doggy... uh, speak.

What were you snooping
around our campsite for?

And... how could you tell I
was coming without any eyes?

Dunno.

I'm just as new to this as you.

Who are you?
You kinda look familiar.

It's me... Ben.

Okay. New question.

Allow me to explain.

- So, in this timeline, Gwen got it.
- Sorry.

You snooze, you lose.

Am I the only Ben who
never even saw an Omnitrix?!

Yes.

Hey, Gwen, about Vilgax...
You in?

Of course. If you can't count
on family, who can you count on?

Bellwood?

Seems different somehow.
Is this the future?

This is the rd dimension.

Hey, check it out!

"Bullies beware."

Ben is everywhere"?

Oh, man!

Not my billboard!

If you won't join us, you
will suffer the same fate

as all those other
Tennysons who refused us.

That's Vilgax?

That's Eon. Though, technically,
it's me. I mean, a bad version of me.

Does this time-travel
stuff ever give you a headache?

Totally.

I'd thought you would
be low-hanging fruit.

I don't know what that means...

But I'm definitely not teaming up.

We have to help that Ben!

If Eon sees other alien
heroes aiding this Ben,

he will realize that we
are crosstime-traveling.

We can't just sit here and
watch him get blasted to bits!

Maybe the way to help is to help
without Eon realizing we're helping.

Peekaboo, evil guy!

You can't surprise me, Ben.

I know you far better then you realize.

Everybody knows me!
I've got billboards!

This is too great.

Ben? Is that you?

Yes, but I'm not
the Ben you think I am.

You look like
the Ben I think you are.

Ungh!

Perhaps I underestimated this version.

Okay. I'm the Ben without an Omnitrix.

This isn't my Omnitrix. It's Ben's.
I'm just wearing it while...

I get the Bens together.

Did you get whacked
in the head or something?

Gwen!

Cousin Gwen? Okay,
you get her. I got him.

Big bug's on the job!

How did he switch aliens so fast?

This Ben is proving to be a major pest.

Unh!

There must be easier Bens to persuade.

Thanks for your
help with that Eon hater.

What's his agenda?

He's going to wipe out
every Ben in every universe.

That's why we're here. Can
we count on you to help?

Help us, I mean?

Well, uh...

I kinda have a full schedule tomorrow.

If you don't help us today,
there might not be a tomorrow!

Yeah... let me text my people.

Done! I'm all yours.

All right, this one might be a doofus.

Huh?

Yeah... no.

Where are we?

This is the galactic
headquarters of Ben , .

Cool!

Paradox.

Hello, Ben.

Let me guess...

Some kind of crosstime doomsday thr*at that
only wearers of the Omnitrix can stop?

Guess this Ben had a
brain transplant at some point.

Dweeb.

Well, let's get going.

Hey! Whoa! Who's this?

Clockwork.

He's got time powers... speed-up,
slow-down, forward, back.

Because Eon is another version of Ben, he
may sense the resulting Sotobro effect.

"Sotobro effect"?

A sort of ripple
in the timestream

that clockwork causes when
he uses his powers.

Then we'd better not risk it.

If Eon and Vilgax suspect
anything, they may change their plans.

Understood. Let me tell my son.

Kenny, sit tight. I
have to run an errand.

I'm in.

Listen, Bens... And Gwen...

don't be disoriented by the fact that
the bad guys have a face you know.

That's exactly what
Vilgax is counting on.

And if what paradox is
saying is true, don't be intimidated.

These alternate versions
of ourselves are the ones

with wills too weak to
resist Vilgax's influence.

Just in case, what's plan "B"?

There is none. If Vilgax is successful,
then all is lost for the multiverse.

I call movie rights.

Wait! Paradox? Hello? Hello?!

I can't believe they forgot me.
Guess I'd just get in the way.

I'm not a real hero, like the others.

Nonsense, Benjamin.

You have proven that inside you
beats a heart most valiant.

Then why didn't you
take me with the others?

Meeting your counterpart
Bens was one thing.

Arriving along with them would have
hopelessly garbled your timeline.

I don't...

Get it? No, I don't imagine you do.

You ready to join the fight?

Run from me for the rest
of your life, Ben Tennyson,

for at long last, the universe
is once and truly mine.

Wrong, squid face!

Back so soon?

You should have stayed lost in time
with that pretentious paradox.

Stay back!

How thoughtful. You
kept an Omnitrix for me.

Too bad you don't even know how to use it!

I just finished a crash course.

So, now you think you are a hero?

I know I am. It's hero time!

A Chronosapien!

Here goes nothing!

How...?

Let me guess...
Chronosapien time b*mb?

Paradox was right. Once I transformed,
I could see the Sotobro effect.

Just figured I'd suck
the ripple back in.

Backstabber!

Aah! Time out!

Yeah.

I mean the watch!

Aah!

Thanks, Cuz!

Cousin mean!

Cousin dweeb.

Unh!

Watch it, monster face!

don't worry.
Mr. Monkey will handle this.

Or Charcoal man! Maybe Copy Copy!

Seriously? Unh!
You give your aliens hero names?

They focus-test great.

All right! Vomit man!

Time for you guys to go!

Aaaaaaaah!

Ben!

Yeah?

You're still Clockwork.

Whatev...

No!!

Are they all...?

Returned to the unsightly
timelines that spawned them.

Hunh!

Tennysons!

This one's yours.

Got it.

You've earned it.

Hyah!

We're done.

I'll take the alternate Bens
back to their own realities.

Allow me.

Not bad... for a doofus.

Smell ya later, Gwen.

Thanks for letting me borrow
your Omnitrix.

It was a blast being a full-time hero.

You did our name proud.

So, what do we do with this guy?

Looks like you two could use a hand.

Grandpa?

Wait... what are you gonna do with him?

You're not some kind of supercop.
You're grandpa Max, the Plumber.

I wanted to tell you... believe
me... but there are protocols.

Now that the cat's out
of the bag, though, come on.

Let's get Vilgax locked up.

You mean you've been this totally
awesome space secret agent this whole time

and you didn't tell me?!

And you even know who Vilgax is?

How do you think I lost this arm?

Time to restore the trunk of the tree.

Looks like this Ben
might wind up a hero after all.

Yes.

So many different ways to tell a story.

But that's what makes
them so interesting...

you can never predict how
they're going to turn out.

Shall we?
