JIMMY:
[ distorted ]
The aliens are
already among us.
Strange creatures with
unbelievable powers,
aliens are real,
but that isn't the
amazing part.
This is.
All of the creatures you�ve
just seen are actually alter
egos of one man.
His name is Ben Tennyson.
You are so busted.
[ birds chirping ]
That's not my best angle.
[ glass breaking]
Ugh!
Every channel, Ben,
all weekend --
Nothing but you
wrecking things,
and they know who you are.
Nobody cares if I'm a superhero!
Super menace.
[ reporters shouting ]
[ camera shutters clicking ]
Okay, maybe a
few people care.
You should lie low for
a while,
maybe go to Julie's.
Good idea, but how do
you get past them?
[ reporters shouting ]
[ camera shutters clicking ]
REPORTER:
Ben, Ben! Ben, Ben!
Ben, Ben, can I ask you a
question?
Do you have a statement?
Yeah.
It's hero time!
Humongousaur!
[ roaring ]
[ tires screeching ]
[ roaring ]
[ coughing ]
[ coughing ]
Hey, Gwen,
you got a lozenge?
Growing�s
rough on my throat.
You should have used
one of your new ultimate
transformations.
I wanted to scare them,
not me.
Thanks for letting
me hang out, Julie.
I have to go to tennis
practice in an hour, but you can
stay here until I get back.
[ theme music plays ]
Cable news?
Extra credit for
A.P. Current Events.
Whoa, this guy hates you.
Welcome back to the
Will Harangue Nation.
Our top story --
it's got to be
Ben Tennyson,
16-year-old
High-School
student who�s been
outed as a one-man --
or should
I say ''boy''?
-- alien invasion.
Why does everybody use
that picture?
You look cute.
Really?
Yes, sweet and goofy.
[ groans ]
[ giggles ]
HARANGUE:
Footage gathered over the
past year,
but only now do we
understand
that all of these
seemingly unconnected
attacks
BEN:
''Attacks''?!
HARANGUE:
were the work of
Ben Tennyson
in his various
alien disguises
for who knows
what sinister purpose.
How about saving the
whole entire universe?
How's that for
''sinister''?
Unbelievably,
some people
defend the
actions of Tennyson,
claiming he's
some kind of Superhero.
obviously ridiculous, but
that's not for me to say.
No, I leave that to you, the
viewer, in tonight's poll,
''Ben Tennyson,
threat or menace?''
Call in with your vote.
[ theme music plays ]
[ remote control beeps ]
[ television shuts off ]
It's too nice a day to
sit inside watching TV.
Why don't we go for a drive in
your new car?
That always cheers you up.
I don't need cheering up.
I'm not upset.
Why not?
Everybody hates you.
BEN:
Maybe it's for the best.
Maybe I can do
more good as a
public superhero
than I did in secret.
Sure,
most people think I'm a
menace now.
Only 26% of adult
viewers think
you're a menace.
See? That's not bad.
But my point is, once
people get to know me,
I can win them over.
That hasn't been my
experience.
[ horn blaring ]
What's the emergency?
Sometimes I think the
only reason why
you guys used to
hang out with
me was because I
was the one
who could drive.
Well, maybe at first.
Ben!
While you guys have
been moping
around and hiding
from reporters,
I've been
working,
looking for a real problem.
''Real problem''?
You know,
something we can hit.
Ah.
I found the guy who
figured out
your secret I.D.,
then blabbed it all
over the internet.
I say we go give
him a piece of
our mind.
Best idea I've heard all day.
[ siren wails ]
[ dog barks in distance ]
GWEN:
Julie is the only one
of us with any
common sense.
She stayed back
in Bellwood.
That's what I just said.
[ electricity crackles ]
Oh!
Shh.
Why are we whispering,
anyway?
Because the guy in
there is the mastermind.
We got to be
ready for anything.
What are you doing?
[ door creaks ]
Oh.
You must be
friends of James'.
Jimmy!!
JIMMY:
I'm coming, Mom!
That's your mastermind?
Ben Tennyson!
I'm Jimmy Jones.
Great to meet you.
Why did you do this to Ben?
I-I don't understand. Do what?
Ruin his life.
I would never do
anything to hurt
Mr. Tennyson.
I'm a fan.
[ gasps ]
GWEN:
That's enough, Kevin.
Put him down
and let him talk.
Ugh!
[ sobs ]
Dude, you are not gonna cry.
Stop being mean, Kevin,
seriously.
Whatever.
[ sniffles ]
I'm sorry, Mr. Tennyson.
[ nose blows ]
Why did you post that video?
Well, I run a website.
I collect
pictures of aliens
that people have taken
all over the world.
I noticed that
a lot of them
came from Bellwood.
So, I started
sorting the pictures.
Lots of them were
wearing this symbol.
And you pieced together
Ben's identity
from a picture of
him wearing
the omnitrix.
JIMMY:
Yeah.
I found stories
all over the
internet about
how you've helped
people and
saved the world.
I just thought
everybody should
know how
cool you are.
We know you were trying
to help, but by
revealing Ben's
secret, you've
made it harder
for him to help people.
JIMMY:
I'm sorry.
I thought you'd
like the fame.
You know,
all the attention and money?
Attention?
Money?
Why don't you show us
what you've learned?
I've got pictures of a
lot of your alien forms --
Humongousaur,
Goop, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey?
You thought I
named one of my
aliens Jeffrey?
It's Jetray.
Hmm, that does make
more sense.
Who is this one?
JIMMY:
I thought it was
Mr. Tennyson.
It just showed up
a few months ago.
All of the sightings
have been
in Orlando.
Hang on.
I've got some video.
[ beeping ]
No sound?
I was lucky to get the pictures.
It's top secret.
Road trip?
We can borrow ship from Julie.
Don't have to.
We'll take the
rust bucket.
You want to drive all
the way to Florida?
Not that rust bucket.
The new one.
Whoa!
KEVIN:
Nice, huh?
It was a standard
plumber-issue
ship,
but I've made some
improvements.
BEN:
Specs?
Supersonic in
atmosphere,
subspace hyperdrive
for effective FTL,
bonus gizmos
I've acquired here and there.
Sweet.
This is going to
be the coolest
thing I ever crashed.
Extranet access.
We can use our
Plumbers' badges
to access any
database on Earth,
even secure ones.
Bor-ing!
Make it go.
GWEN:
I found the source of
the video --
Security cameras in
a top-secret NASA facility.
I'm sending you
the coordinates, Kevin.
Got them.
We'll be there in two minutes.
According to this,
they're building a Starship.
About time.
Earth tech is so
primitive, I'm
embarrassed to tell
my friends I'm from here.
[ beeping ]
Trouble.
We're flying into restricted
airspace.
Incoming!
This is a
brand-new paint job!
Kevin!
Those guys are on our side!
You can't shoot at them!
No harm done.
He ejected,
and his parachute is
only a little on fire.
Open it.
Jetray!
He's gone!
I don't see him, either.
I -- there he is!
JETRAY:
Gotcha!
Um, take me
to your leader?
If you so much as twitch,
you're going down.
Whoa, whoa, easy, guys.
I'm the famous
Ben Tennyson.
I'm a superhero.
You have heard of me, right?
[ bars slam ]
I'm pretty sure
I'm supposed to
get a phone call!
Let him out.
How did you
We showed him these.
Even though
the Plumbers are
secret,
every government on
Earth recognizes
your authority
in these matters.
Turns out NASA has a
problem.
A problem I understand is
right up your alley.
It's called the Orion.
It's capable of traveling at 15%
of the speed of light.
[ whistles ]
How?
Nuclear pulse drive.
Once clear of the Earth, a
series of
atomic bombs explode,
propelling it through space.
Whoa.
We've been
building her for
over 50 years.
But now,
only months from
completion,
a series of
robberies has
practically shut us down.
Robberies?
A creature
comes in here
every night and
steals pieces of
the ship.
Nothing we've
tried can stop it.
I'm hoping maybe
you people will
have more luck.
ULTIMATRIX:
Uncataloged DNA detected.
Function not available.
Please stand by.
[ beeping ]
Function not available.
Please stand by.
KEVIN:
We can't let you leave
unless you
show us a receipt.
Who are you?
What do you --
BEN:
Hey! Seafood salad!
Over here!
[ screams ]
That worked a lot
better in my head.
BIVALVAN:
[ snarling ]
ULTIMATRIX:
Function not available.
Please stand by.
[ beeping ]
Oh, man!
[ beeping ]
I don't suppose you want
to talk about this?
Ugh!
ULTIMATRIX:
Unknown DNA sample acquired.
Scan complete.
What did you do?
Oh, now you want to talk.
[ beeping ]
Chromastone!
Wasn't even sure I still had
this one.
[ electricity crackles ]
[ screams ]
Ugh!
Ben, are you okay?
[ groans ]
We've got a big problem, son.
The first few
times that thing
came in here,
it stole
shielding,
a control system,
timing sequencers.
But this time?
This time he took the engine.
And by engine, you
mean
A nuclear bomb. Yes.
[ beeping ]
Come on, guys, anything?
You've been at this for --
KEVIN:
And, yeah,
we found the bomb.
It looks like it's underwater.
I can get us there.
Now I get it.
He's doing the
same thing you
always do, Kevin.
Stealing?
I think he's just trying
to fix up his ship.
Am I right?
You are correct.
Now leave me be.
I want to go home,
and I am two
minutes from launch.
GWEN:
If you launch your
ship, the explosion will destroy
all of Central Florida.
I'm not sure I see your point.
Killing a couple
million people isn't cool.
We can't let you do it.
Also, there's some
good theme parks here.
You would stand
in my way?
That cable's live.
If I drop the shield,
it'll fry us.
[ beeping ]
Spidermonkey!
Don't touch it.
Stop the clam guy.
We'll think of something.
We will?
A face full of
web ought to
slow you down.
Whoa! Whoa!
There is nothing
you can do to stop me.
SPIDERMONKEY:
Maybe not me
But my new
Ultimatrix comes
with some new features.
There's a time to go hero, and
there's a time to go ultimate!
Ultimate Spidermonkey!
[ roars ]
Give up?
Why should I?
The bomb!
KEVIN:
Got it!
You did that on purpose.
You okay?
Y-yeah, that's a little
different.
Time for you to start talking.
Let's start with a name.
I am Bivalvan.
I come from a small planet in
what you call the
Andromeda Galaxy.
Long way from home.
What brings you here?
I was kidnapped,
along with four others, by a
monster named Aggregor.
We managed to
escape him but
crashed here
on your planet.
Where are the others?
I don't know.
We were separated.
Four aliens that aren't
in the Ultimatrix.
That's pretty cool.
Don't worry about your friends.
We'll find them
and get them all
a ride back home.
Andwhat about me?
Same deal.
I'll call the Plumbers.
They'll take you.
KEVIN:
[ grunting ]
[ electricity crackles ]
We'll make sure the
bomb gets back to NASA.
Not that we don't
trust you, but we don't.
JULIE:
You have to go in
sometime.
I could drop out.
Last night, you were
two feet from
an atomic bomb.
You can't be scared of
your classmates.
Everybody knows my
secret, Julie.
And if they've
been watching
the news,
everybody hates me.
Not everybody.
[ applause ]
You've helped a lot of people
in this school.
You're all right, Tennyson.
Hello?
Are you the Plumbers?
Ben said you'd
be here quickly,
but I didn't think
Aggregor!
No one escapes me,
Bivalvan.
[ electricity crackles ]
BIVALVAN:
[ screams ]
