Ben 10: Alien Force (2008–2010): Season 2, Episode 8 - Voided - full transcript
Helen of the Plumbers' Helpers calls Gwen, pleading for help, so Ben goes into the Null Void alone to assist her, finding an old enemy with new powers - and other surprises.
>> Gwen: UGH!
>> Ben: TELL ME ABOUT THIS
MESSAGE ALREADY, GWEN.
I'VE GOT HOMEWORK.
>> Gwen: LET'S JUST WAIT FOR
KEVIN.
THEN I DON'T HAVE TO TELL IT
TWICE.
>> Ben: WAS IT AN E-MAIL?
JUST LET ME READ IT.
>> Gwen: A TELEPATHIC SOS SENT
THROUGH MY ENERGY FIELD.
OH, LOOK!
A DOLLHOUSE.
>> Ben: IT'S NOT A DOLLHOUSE!
IT'S A SUMO SLAMMERS' BATTLE
RING!
>> Gwen: WITH DOLLS IN IT.
>> Ben: ACTION FIGURES!
THEY'RE NOT DOLLS.
THEY'RE COLLECTIBLES.
>> Gwen: THEY LOOK LIKE DOLLS
TO -- AAH!
>> Ben: YOU OKAY?
>> Gwen: SOMETHING COMING IN.
[ BEEPING, WHIRRING ]
>> Helen: CAN YOU HEAR ME, GWEN?
DID YOU FIND BEN?
WE NEED HELP!
>> Ben: HELEN?
>> Kevin: HOLOGRAMS?
IT'S NEVER LIKE I COME OVER, AND
YOU'RE JUST PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
OR SOMETHING.
>> Helen: I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
>> Ben: HELEN, I'M RIGHT HERE!
>> Helen: YOU GUYS, IF YOU'RE
GETTING THIS MESSAGE, IT'S
IMPORTANT.
PLEASE HELP US!
>> Gwen: HARD TO FOCUS...
CAN'T KEEP CONNECTION.
>> Helen: THERE IS TERRIBLE
DANGER.
WE NEED HELP DESPERATELY.
IT'S A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH!
PLEASE!
>> Gwen: [ GROANS ]
>> Kevin: YOU OKAY?
>> Gwen: YEAH.
ANYWAY, I'M DOING BETTER THAN
THOSE PLUMBER KIDS.
>> Kevin: WHAT DID THEY EXPECT,
GOING INTO THE NULL VOID?
NOT LIKE WE DIDN'T WARN THEM.
>> Gwen: WE HAVE TO GO GET THEM
OUT.
>> Kevin: YOU'RE NOT GOING IN
THERE!
I'VE BEEN THERE.
IT'S --
>> Gwen: I CAN HANDLE IT.
>> Ben: NO, YOU CAN'T.
THERE'S TOO MUCH RIDING ON US
BEING HERE.
>> Gwen: YOU HEARD HER.
THEY NEED HELP.
>> Ben: I KNOW.
THAT'S WHY I'M GOING ALONE.
[ INSECTS CHIRPING ]
>> Ben: LAST TIME I WENT INTO
THE NULL VOID, I DIDN'T NEED ALL
THIS JUNK.
>> Kevin: LAST TIME, YOU HAD A
MOTOR HOME FULL OF COOL,
STATE-OF-THE-ART PLUMBER GEAR.
>> Ben: WHICH YOU SOLD.
>> Gwen: THE POINT IS, IT'S
GONNA BE TRICKY TO GET YOU OUT.
EVEN IF I'M ABLE TO TEMPORARILY
WHIP A DOORWAY INTO THE NULL
VOID, THIS CABLE'S THE ONLY
THING CONNECTING YOU TO --
>> Kevin: IT'S NOT A CABLE.
THE PLUMBER SNAKE IS AN
UNBREAKABLE, PANDIMENSIONAL
RETRIEVAL SYSTEM WORTH
MUCHO DINERO,WHICH YOU ARE
VERY LUCKY I HAVE.
>> Ben: AW, YOU'D MISS ME.
>> Kevin: I GOT BETTER WAYS TO
SPEND MY TIME THAN GOING TO YOUR
FUNERAL.
[ WHIRRING ]
>> Gwen: I RETRACED THE ENERGY
PATH FROM HELEN'S MESSAGE.
HOPEFULLY, IT WILL LEAD YOU TO
HER LOCATION, BUT I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG I CAN KEEP THIS OPEN.
>> Ben: POCKET DIMENSION?
THAT'S A BIG POCKET.
>> AAH! AAAHHHH!
HELP US!
ASSIST ME! HELP US!
>> Ben: I'M COMING!
>> [ ROARS ]
>> Ben: THIS WOULD BE A LOT
EASIER WITHOUT THE LEASH!
LET'S SEE HOW SMART YOU ARE.
>> [ ROARS ]
[ GROANS ]
>> Ben: YOU OKAY?
>> I KNEW IT!
I KNEW ONCE NEWS OF MY CAPTURE
HAD SPREAD, THE WRENCH WOULD
NEVER LET ME FALL INTO THE HANDS
OF D'VOID.
WE MUST FLEE.
HE'LL BE BACK -- AND NOT ALONE!
>> Ben: UH, YEAH, OKAY.
>> IF YOU KNOW THE WRENCH, HE
MUST BE WARNED.
THIS ENTIRE DIMENSION IS
BECOMING DESTABILIZED.
>> Ben: SLOW DOWN.
WHO IS THE WRENCH, ANYWAY?
WHAT ARE THE HELPERS?
>> YOU'RE NOT A HELPER?
BUT EVEN SO, HOW COULD YOU NOT
HAVE HEARD OF THE WRENCH, THE
ONLY PERSON WHO DARES DEFY
D'VOID AND HIS NULL GUARDIANS?
>> Ben: BACK UP AND START AGAIN.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING --
>> NULL GUARDIANS!
THEY FOUND US!
>> Manny: YEE-HA!
>> HA! THE HELPERS!
[ ALL ROARING ]
>> Helen: EAT MY DUST, DOGGIES!
COME ON.
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH -- BEN?
I KNEW YOU'D COME.
>> Manny: WHAT ARE YOU DOING
HERE?
>> Helen: I CALLED HIM.
WE NEED HIM, MANNY.
>> Ben: DON'T WORRY.
I CAN GET YOU BACK HOME.
JUST TAKE MY HANDS, AND MY
FRIENDS WILL PULL US --
>> Helen: NO, BEN.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
[ CREATURES ROAR ]
>> Manny: IT'S D'VOID.
>> THE NULL KING IS UPON US!
ALL IS LOST!
>> Manny: NOT YET, OLD MAN.
GIDDYAP!
YAH, YAH!
>> Helen: BEN, YOU NEED TO GO,
TOO.
YOU'RE TOO VALUABLE TO FALL INTO
D'VOID'S HANDS.
WE'LL ACT AS DECOYS AND LEAD HIM
AWAY.
>> Ben: WHAT? I'M HERE.
I CAN HELP YOU BEAT THIS GUY.
>> Manny: NOBODY CAN BEAT
D'VOID.
FIND THE WRENCH.
HELP HIM.
>> Ben: OH, FINE.
I'LL JUST SIT THIS ONE OUT,
THEN.
YEAH, NOT TOO LIKELY.
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Dr. Animo: WHO DARES DEFY
D'VOID?
>> Ben: [ GRUNTS ]
DR. ANIMO?
>> Manny: [ GRUNTING ]
>> Dr. Animo: WHAT HAVE WE
HERE?
ONE OF THOSE ANNOYING, LITTLE
HELPERS?
>> Helen: MANNY, NO!
[ GROANS ]
>> Dr. Animo: THERE'S NO HELP
FOR YOU, HELPERS...
AND NO HOPE AT ALL!
>> Ben: [ GRUNTS ]
[ WHIRRING ]
>> Gwen: WHAT HAPPENED?
>> Kevin: I DON'T KNOW.
REEL HIM IN.
>> Gwen: COME ON! HURRY!
>> Kevin: THIS IS AS FAST AS IT
GOES.
>> Dr. Animo: NOW, TELL ME,
HELPER, WHERE CAN I FIND YOUR
LEADER?
>> Manny: DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
YOU DO TO US, D'VOID, WE'LL
NEVER BETRAY THE WRENCH!
>> Dr. Animo: PERHAPS YOU'LL
FEEL DIFFERENTLY AFTER WATCHING
MY PETS PLAY TUG-OF-WAR WITH
YOUR FRIEND.
>> Helen: NO!
>> Manny: UGH!
[ ALL SCREECHING ]
>> Dr. Animo: WHO DARES?!
>> Brainstorm: THAT ISN'T HOW TO
TELL A JOKE, MISCREANT.
FIRST, I SAY, "KNOCK, KNOCK."
THEN YOU SAY, "WHO DARES?"
>> Dr. Animo: YOU WOULD MOCK
D'VOID?
>> Brainstorm: D'VOID?
AKA DR. ANIMO?
I MOST CERTAINLY WOULD MOCK YOU.
I'M DOING SO NOW, ALBEIT SUBTLY.
>> Dr. Animo: YOU KNOW MY NAME,
HELPER?
HOW?!
>> Brainstorm: ALTHOUGH I'M
GENERALLY MUCH TOO MODEST TO
BOAST, ON RARE OCCASIONS, I DO
COME OUT OF MY SHELL.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]
>> Dr. Animo: AAH!
>> Brainstorm: IT IS DIFFICULT
TO BELIEVE.
THAT ELECTRO-ENCEPHALITIC MIND
BLAST SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT TO RENDER HIM
INSENSATE.
>> Helen: BELIEVE IT.
NOW LET'S GO!
>> Dr. Animo: SO...A HELPER
KNOWS MY NAME.
BUT NOT FOR LONG!
>> AAH!
AAH!
>> NOT MY SON!
I'VE GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING YOU'VE
ASKED FOR.
DON'T TAKE MY SON.
PLEASE!
[ CRYING ]
>> Ben: COME ON.
WE'VE GOT TO HELP HIM.
>> Manny: NO.
>> Ben: WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR --
>> Manny: D'VOID IS TOO STRONG
TO FIGHT.
>> Ben: WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
>> Helen: THANKS FOR HIDING US.
I'M -- I'M SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR
SON.
>> D'VOID TAKES EVERYTHING.
OUR ONLY HOPE IS THE WRENCH AND
YOU HELPERS.
>> Ben: OKAY, WHO'S THE WRENCH?
COME TO THINK OF IT, WHO ARE
YOU?
I THOUGHT THE NULL VOID WAS A
PRISON.
>> NO, NOT A PRISON.
A PENAL COLONY.
LONG AGO, THE GALVIN CREATED
THIS POCKET DIMENSION SO THEY
COULD BANISH THE CRIMINALS FROM
THE UNIVERSE ITSELF.
TO SOME IT WAS A CHANCE TO START
AGAIN.
MY ANCESTORS HAVE TILLED THESE
ASTEROIDS SINCE THE BEGINNING.
>> Helen: OVER TIME, OTHER
WORLDS DISCOVERED THE NULL VOID
AND STARTED DUMPING THEIR
CRIMINALS HERE, AS WELL.
>> Manny: BUT THE GALVIN HAD
FORESEEN THAT PROBLEM AND
CREATED THE NULL GUARDIANS.
>> IT WASN'T AN EASY LIFE, BUT
IT WAS BEARABLE...
UNTIL HE CAME.
D'VOID SOMEHOW GAINED CONTROL OF
THE NULL GUARDIANS.
NOW HE REIGNS SUPREME,
CONSCRIPTING ANYONE --
EVERYONE -- TO DIG FOR CORMITE
IN HIS ACCURSED MINES.
>> Ben: I'VE TANGLED WITH D'VOID
BEFORE.
ON MY WORLD, HE CALLS HIMSELF
"DR. ANIMO," AND HE HAS THE
POWER TO CONTROL ANIMALS.
THAT'S HOW HE'S CONTROLLING THE
NULL GUARDIANS.
>> Manny: YOU TANGLED WITH
D'VOID?
HOW DID YOU SURVIVE?
>> Ben: NOT JUST SURVIVE.
I WON.
THIS INVULNERABILITY AND THE
WHOLE CRAZY-STRONG THING -- ALL
NEW.
>> Manny: OKAY.
SO YOU TAKE US BACK TO EARTH.
WE LOAD UP ON EQUIPMENT, FIND
SOME REINFORCEMENTS, AND SHUT
DOWN D'VOID ONCE AND FOR ALL.
>> Ben: THAT'S NOT AN OPTION.
I LOST MY TETHER.
THERE'S NO WAY TO GET MY TEAM
HERE TO HELP.
AND I'M STUCK HERE, JUST LIKE
YOU.
>> Manny: GREAT.
SOME SAVIOR YOU BROUGHT US,
HELEN.
CAN'T EVEN SAVE HIMSELF.
>> Helen: SETTLE DOWN, MANNY.
HE'S FOUGHT D'VOID BEFORE.
MAYBE HE CAN HELP US.
ANYWAY, THAT'S NOT FOR US TO
DECIDE.
>> Manny: [ GROWLS ]
>> Ben: THIS IS WHERE YOU LIVE?
>> Manny: THIS IS WHERE HE
LIVES.
WE LIVE...WHEREVER.
>> Pierce: HELEN!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
YOU BROUGHT AN OUTSIDER HERE?
NOBODY GETS TO SEE THE WRENCH.
NOBODY!
>> Helen: HE'S A FRIEND, PIERCE.
I TOLD YOU.
HE'S THE WHOLE REASON WE CAME TO
FIND YOU HERE.
>> Pierce: MAYBE.
OR MAYBE THIS GUY'S JUST A SHAPE
SHIFTER, SHOWING YOU WHAT YOU
WANT TO SEE.
>> Ben: LOOK.
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ME TO SEE
YOUR BOSS, FINE.
IF NOT, I'LL FIND HIM MYSELF.
>> Pierce: THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
TO GET TO THE WRENCH.
ACROSS HERE...
AND THROUGH ME.
>> Ben: FINE BY ME.
SOME FIGHT.
YOU'RE A WALKING PINCUSHION, AND
I'M EMPTY-HANDED.
>> Pierce: BE MY GUEST.
>> Ben: ONE SPIKE AGAINST 300 --
YOU'RE A REAL SPORT, PIERCE.
>> Pierce: AND YOU'RE DEAD MEAT,
SPY.
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Ben: GREAT.
THAT WAS MY VIDEO-GAME HAND!
AAH!
>> Pierce: THERE'S MORE WHERE
THAT CAME FROM.
>> Ben: OKAY, YOU WIN.
>> Pierce: YOU DIDN'T DO TOO
BAD.
AT LEAST WE KNOW YOU'RE HUMAN.
ONE OF D'VOID'S SPIES WOULD HAVE
MOPPED THE FLOOR WITH ME IN A
FAIR FIGHT.
>> Ben: YEAH.
>> Manny: BUT HE WOULDN'T HAVE
LASTED LONG AFTER.
>> Pierce: COME ON.
I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE WRENCH.
AH, DON'T EAT ANYTHING HE OFFERS
YOU.
>> Ben: UH, MR. WRENCH, I DON'T
MEAN TO GET IN THE MIDDLE OF
YOUR WAR, BUT THIS WHOLE
DIMENSION IS DESTABILIZING --
>> Max: WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
ABOUT IT OVER A BOWL OF MY
FAMOUS CENTIPEDE GUMBO?
>> Ben: [ GASPS ]
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
>> Ben: SO...YOU GONNA MAKE ME
ASK?
>> Max: WELL, WHEN I DETONATED
THAT NULL-VOID GRENADE, IT
DIDN'T BLAST ME TO KINGDOM COME.
IT BLASTED ME HERE.
I MEANT TO COME BACK HOME, BUT
ONCE I SAW HOW BADLY THESE FOLKS
WERE BEING OPPRESSED --
>> Ben: YOU TOOK IT UPON
YOURSELF TO EIGHTY-SIX
DR. ANIMO'S REIGN ONCE AND FOR
ALL.
>> Max: YEAH, OR AT LEAST
THROW A MONKEY WRENCH INTO THE
MACHINERY.
>> Ben: HENCE, "THE WRENCH."
AND THE HELPERS -- PLUMBER'S
HELPERS.
I JUST GOT IT.
>> Max: PIERCE HERE HELPED ME
ROUND UP EVERYONE WILLING TO
FIGHT D'VOID.
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
HOW DID YOU GET HERE?
AND HOW ON EARTH DID PIERCE BEAT
YOU?
>> Ben: I KIND OF LET HIM WIN.
>> Pierce: YOU WHAT?!
>> Ben: I FIGURED IT WAS THE
ONLY WAY YOU WOULD LEAD ME TO
THE WRENCH -- UH, GRANDPA.
WHAT I'VE LEARNED IS THAT THE
NULL VOID IS ACTUALLY
DISINTEGRATING.
>> Max: OH, THEN IT'S HAPPENING
FASTER THAN I THOUGHT.
PIERCE, GATHER YOUR TEAM.
THIS IS CORMITE.
>> Manny: WE KNOW THAT.
HALF THE NULL VOIDERS ARE
SLAVING AWAY IN D'VOID'S MINE,
DIGGING THE STUFF UP.
>> Max: WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS
WHY.
[ WHIRRING ]
>> Pierce: D'VOID BURNS THE
CORMITE IN THIS FURNACE, WHICH
FEEDS HIS DIMENSIONAL BORE,
WHICH IS LITERALLY RIPPING A
HOLE IN THE BARRIER BETWEEN THE
TWO DIMENSIONS.
>> Helen: D'VOID WANTS TO ESCAPE
AND BRING HIS ARMY OF NULL
GUARDIANS WITH HIM TO CONQUER
THE EARTH.
>> Pierce: GUERRILLA TACTICS ARE
NO LONGER AN OPTION.
WE HAVE TO MOUNT AN ALL-OUT
ATTACK ON HIS CITADEL.
>> Ben: WHY FIGHT OUR WAY IN
WHEN WE CAN HITCH A RIDE?
>> Max: NOW!
[ ALL SCREAMING ]
[ BEEPING ]
>> Chromastone: CHROMASTONE!
>> Max: BEN, HERE'S A PATH TO
THE BORE.
PIERCE, YOU'RE WITH ME.
WE'RE TAKING THAT THING OUT.
NICE WORK, BEN.
>> Chromastone: IT'S NOT OVER.
>> Dr. Animo: MAX TENNYSON.
SO YOU'RE THE MYSTERIOUS WRENCH.
AND YOUNG BEN -- ALWAYS A
PLEASURE TO TRY AND END YOUR
MISERABLE, INTERFERING LIFE.
>> Ben: ARE YOU STILL A DOCTOR,
ANIMO?
>> Dr. Animo: WHAT?!
>> Ben: 'CAUSE IT HURTS WHEN I
DO THIS!
>> Humongousaur: HUMONGOUSAUR!
SEE?
I TOLD YOU IT HURTS.
>> Dr. Animo: GIVE ME A MOMENT,
AND I'LL SHOW YOU REALPAIN.
>> Humongousaur: THANKS, ANYWAY.
I'LL PASS.
[ ROARS ]
>> Dr. Animo: [ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
IT'S A SHAME TO HAVE TO END
THIS, BUT I'VE ALMOST DRILLED
THROUGH THE DIMENSIONAL WALL,
AND I HAVE A WHOLE PLANET TO
CONQUER.
>> Brainstorm: BRAINSTORM!
HERE'S A DISPLAY OF
ELECTRO-CRANIAL POWER THAT I
KNOW YOU'LL GET A CHARGEOUT OF.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]
>> Dr. Animo: [ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
>> Max: BEN, TRY SWAMPFIRE'S
METHANE ATTACK.
>> Ben: IT'S NO USE, GRANDPA.
HE'S GETTING STRONGER.
WHEN I FOUGHT HIM OUTSIDE THE
CITADEL, BRAINSTORM SCRAMBLED
HIS EGGS.
BUT HERE...
THAT'S IT!
HANG TIGHT, GRANDPA.
>> Max: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> Dr. Animo: BEN TENNYSON
FLEEING BEFORE ME...
THE WRENCH AT MY MERCY...
AND THEN A WORLD TO CONQUER.
>> Ben: SOUNDS LIKE A BUSY DAY.
I HOPE YOU HAD A BIG BREAKFAST.
>> Dr. Animo: WHAT?
>> Max: BEN, GET AWAY FROM
THERE.
>> Ben: THIS FURNACE -- IT
DOESN'T JUST POWER THE DRILL.
IT POWERS HIM.
THAT'S WHY HE'S SO MUCH STRONGER
HERE IN HIS FORTRESS.
AND THAT'S WHY IT HAS TO GO!
>> Max: NO!!
[ BEEPING ]
>> Big Chill: BIG CHILL!
LET'S SEE JUST HOW COLD I CAN
MAKE IT.
>> Max: BEN!
>> Dr. Animo: YOU'LL JOIN HIM
SOON ENOUGH.
WHAT?!
[ WHIRRING ]
IMPOSSIBLE!
NO!!
NOO!!
>> Ben: NICE WORK.
>> Max: I DID HAVE A BIG
BREAKFAST.
>> Manny: ALL RIGHT!
>> Helen: WAY TO GO!
>> Max: PIERCE, TAKE CHARGE OF
D'VOID.
HELEN, MANNY, MAKE SURE EVERYONE
IS OUT OF THOSE MINES.
AND KEEP A LOOKOUT FOR
GUARDIANS.
WE'VE STILL GOT A LOT OF WORK
TO --
[ WHIRRING ]
>> Gwen: BEN!
IS THAT YOU?
>> Ben: GWEN!
CHECK OUT WHAT I FOUND!
>> Max: HI, PUMPKIN.
>> Gwen: GRANDPA!
[ GROANS ]
I CAN BARELY KEEP THIS DOORWAY
OPEN.
YOU'VE GOT TO HURRY!
>> Ben: YOU HEARD HER, GRANDPA.
GET THE HELPERS.
TIME TO GO.
>> Max: I CAN'T GO, BEN.
WE HAVE TO FINISH THINGS HERE.
GET THOSE GUARDIANS WORKING LIKE
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.
MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S SAFE.
>> Ben: THEN, I'LL STAY, TOO.
I CAN HELP.
>> Max: THE EARTH NEEDS YOU TO
PROTECT IT, BEN.
>> Ben: THEN, HELP ME.
I NEED YOU.
>> Max: NOT ANYMORE, BEN.
YOU PROVED THAT TODAY.
>> Ben: I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN.
>> Max: NEVER HAPPEN.
WE'LL FIND OUR WAY BACK WHEN OUR
WORK IS DONE HERE.
AND, BESIDES, I'M ALWAYS WITH
YOU.
>> Gwen: BEN, HURRY!
[ GROANS ]
>> Kevin: TIME TO COME HOME,
BEN.
>> Ben: TELL ME ABOUT THIS
MESSAGE ALREADY, GWEN.
I'VE GOT HOMEWORK.

HE'S FOUGHT D'VOID BEFORE.
MAYBE HE CAN HELP US.
ANYWAY, THAT'S NOT FOR US TO
DECIDE.
>> Manny: [ GROWLS ]
>> Ben: THIS IS WHERE YOU LIVE?
>> Manny: THIS IS WHERE HE
LIVES.
WE LIVE...WHEREVER.
>> Pierce: HELEN!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
YOU BROUGHT AN OUTSIDER HERE?
NOBODY GETS TO SEE THE WRENCH.
NOBODY!
>> Helen: HE'S A FRIEND, PIERCE.
I TOLD YOU.
HE'S THE WHOLE REASON WE CAME TO
FIND YOU HERE.
>> Pierce: MAYBE.
OR MAYBE THIS GUY'S JUST A SHAPE
SHIFTER, SHOWING YOU WHAT YOU
WANT TO SEE.
>> Ben: LOOK.
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ME TO SEE
YOUR BOSS, FINE.
IF NOT, I'LL FIND HIM MYSELF.
>> Pierce: THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
TO GET TO THE WRENCH.
ACROSS HERE...
AND THROUGH ME.
>> Ben: FINE BY ME.
SOME FIGHT.
YOU'RE A WALKING PINCUSHION, AND
I'M EMPTY-HANDED.
>> Pierce: BE MY GUEST.
>> Ben: ONE SPIKE AGAINST 300 --
YOU'RE A REAL SPORT, PIERCE.
>> Pierce: AND YOU'RE DEAD MEAT,
SPY.
[ GRUNTS ]
>> Ben: GREAT.
THAT WAS MY VIDEO-GAME HAND!
AAH!
>> Pierce: THERE'S MORE WHERE
THAT CAME FROM.
>> Ben: OKAY, YOU WIN.
>> Pierce: YOU DIDN'T DO TOO
BAD.
AT LEAST WE KNOW YOU'RE HUMAN.
ONE OF D'VOID'S SPIES WOULD HAVE
MOPPED THE FLOOR WITH ME IN A
FAIR FIGHT.
>> Ben: YEAH.
>> Manny: BUT HE WOULDN'T HAVE
LASTED LONG AFTER.
>> Pierce: COME ON.
I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE WRENCH.
AH, DON'T EAT ANYTHING HE OFFERS
YOU.
>> Ben: UH, MR. WRENCH, I DON'T
MEAN TO GET IN THE MIDDLE OF
YOUR WAR, BUT THIS WHOLE
DIMENSION IS DESTABILIZING --
>> Max: WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
ABOUT IT OVER A BOWL OF MY
FAMOUS CENTIPEDE GUMBO?
>> Ben: [ GASPS ]
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
>> Ben: SO...YOU GONNA MAKE ME
ASK?
>> Max: WELL, WHEN I DETONATED
THAT NULL-VOID GRENADE, IT
DIDN'T BLAST ME TO KINGDOM COME.
IT BLASTED ME HERE.
I MEANT TO COME BACK HOME, BUT
ONCE I SAW HOW BADLY THESE FOLKS
WERE BEING OPPRESSED --
>> Ben: YOU TOOK IT UPON
YOURSELF TO EIGHTY-SIX
DR. ANIMO'S REIGN ONCE AND FOR
ALL.
>> Max: YEAH, OR AT LEAST
THROW A MONKEY WRENCH INTO THE
MACHINERY.
>> Ben: HENCE, "THE WRENCH."
AND THE HELPERS -- PLUMBER'S
HELPERS.
I JUST GOT IT.
>> Max: PIERCE HERE HELPED ME
ROUND UP EVERYONE WILLING TO
FIGHT D'VOID.
BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
HOW DID YOU GET HERE?
AND HOW ON EARTH DID PIERCE BEAT
YOU?
>> Ben: I KIND OF LET HIM WIN.
>> Pierce: YOU WHAT?!
>> Ben: I FIGURED IT WAS THE
ONLY WAY YOU WOULD LEAD ME TO
THE WRENCH -- UH, GRANDPA.
WHAT I'VE LEARNED IS THAT THE
NULL VOID IS ACTUALLY
DISINTEGRATING.
>> Max: OH, THEN IT'S HAPPENING
FASTER THAN I THOUGHT.
PIERCE, GATHER YOUR TEAM.
THIS IS CORMITE.
>> Manny: WE KNOW THAT.
HALF THE NULL VOIDERS ARE
SLAVING AWAY IN D'VOID'S MINE,
DIGGING THE STUFF UP.
>> Max: WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS
WHY.
[ WHIRRING ]
>> Pierce: D'VOID BURNS THE
CORMITE IN THIS FURNACE, WHICH
FEEDS HIS DIMENSIONAL BORE,
WHICH IS LITERALLY RIPPING A
HOLE IN THE BARRIER BETWEEN THE
TWO DIMENSIONS.
>> Helen: D'VOID WANTS TO ESCAPE
AND BRING HIS ARMY OF NULL
GUARDIANS WITH HIM TO CONQUER
THE EARTH.
>> Pierce: GUERRILLA TACTICS ARE
NO LONGER AN OPTION.
WE HAVE TO MOUNT AN ALL-OUT
ATTACK ON HIS CITADEL.
>> Ben: WHY FIGHT OUR WAY IN
WHEN WE CAN HITCH A RIDE?
>> Max: NOW!
[ ALL SCREAMING ]
[ BEEPING ]
>> Chromastone: CHROMASTONE!
>> Max: BEN, HERE'S A PATH TO
THE BORE.
PIERCE, YOU'RE WITH ME.
WE'RE TAKING THAT THING OUT.
NICE WORK, BEN.
>> Chromastone: IT'S NOT OVER.
>> Dr. Animo: MAX TENNYSON.
SO YOU'RE THE MYSTERIOUS WRENCH.
AND YOUNG BEN -- ALWAYS A
PLEASURE TO TRY AND END YOUR
MISERABLE, INTERFERING LIFE.
>> Ben: ARE YOU STILL A DOCTOR,
ANIMO?
>> Dr. Animo: WHAT?!
>> Ben: 'CAUSE IT HURTS WHEN I
DO THIS!
>> Humongousaur: HUMONGOUSAUR!
SEE?
I TOLD YOU IT HURTS.
>> Dr. Animo: GIVE ME A MOMENT,
AND I'LL SHOW YOU REALPAIN.
>> Humongousaur: THANKS, ANYWAY.
I'LL PASS.
[ ROARS ]
>> Dr. Animo: [ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
IT'S A SHAME TO HAVE TO END
THIS, BUT I'VE ALMOST DRILLED
THROUGH THE DIMENSIONAL WALL,
AND I HAVE A WHOLE PLANET TO
CONQUER.
>> Brainstorm: BRAINSTORM!
HERE'S A DISPLAY OF
ELECTRO-CRANIAL POWER THAT I
KNOW YOU'LL GET A CHARGEOUT OF.
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLING ]
>> Dr. Animo: [ LAUGHS EVILLY ]
>> Max: BEN, TRY SWAMPFIRE'S
METHANE ATTACK.
>> Ben: IT'S NO USE, GRANDPA.
HE'S GETTING STRONGER.
WHEN I FOUGHT HIM OUTSIDE THE
CITADEL, BRAINSTORM SCRAMBLED
HIS EGGS.
BUT HERE...
THAT'S IT!
HANG TIGHT, GRANDPA.
>> Max: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> Dr. Animo: BEN TENNYSON
FLEEING BEFORE ME...
THE WRENCH AT MY MERCY...
AND THEN A WORLD TO CONQUER.
>> Ben: SOUNDS LIKE A BUSY DAY.
I HOPE YOU HAD A BIG BREAKFAST.
>> Dr. Animo: WHAT?
>> Max: BEN, GET AWAY FROM
THERE.
>> Ben: THIS FURNACE -- IT
DOESN'T JUST POWER THE DRILL.
IT POWERS HIM.
THAT'S WHY HE'S SO MUCH STRONGER
HERE IN HIS FORTRESS.
AND THAT'S WHY IT HAS TO GO!
>> Max: NO!!
[ BEEPING ]
>> Big Chill: BIG CHILL!
LET'S SEE JUST HOW COLD I CAN
MAKE IT.
>> Max: BEN!
>> Dr. Animo: YOU'LL JOIN HIM
SOON ENOUGH.
WHAT?!
[ WHIRRING ]
IMPOSSIBLE!
NO!!
NOO!!
>> Ben: NICE WORK.
>> Max: I DID HAVE A BIG
BREAKFAST.
>> Manny: ALL RIGHT!
>> Helen: WAY TO GO!
>> Max: PIERCE, TAKE CHARGE OF
D'VOID.
HELEN, MANNY, MAKE SURE EVERYONE
IS OUT OF THOSE MINES.
AND KEEP A LOOKOUT FOR
GUARDIANS.
WE'VE STILL GOT A LOT OF WORK
TO --
[ WHIRRING ]
>> Gwen: BEN!
IS THAT YOU?
>> Ben: GWEN!
CHECK OUT WHAT I FOUND!
>> Max: HI, PUMPKIN.
>> Gwen: GRANDPA!
[ GROANS ]
I CAN BARELY KEEP THIS DOORWAY
OPEN.
YOU'VE GOT TO HURRY!
>> Ben: YOU HEARD HER, GRANDPA.
GET THE HELPERS.
TIME TO GO.
>> Max: I CAN'T GO, BEN.
WE HAVE TO FINISH THINGS HERE.
GET THOSE GUARDIANS WORKING LIKE
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.
MAKE SURE EVERYONE'S SAFE.
>> Ben: THEN, I'LL STAY, TOO.
I CAN HELP.
>> Max: THE EARTH NEEDS YOU TO
PROTECT IT, BEN.
>> Ben: THEN, HELP ME.
I NEED YOU.
>> Max: NOT ANYMORE, BEN.
YOU PROVED THAT TODAY.
>> Ben: I CAN'T LOSE YOU AGAIN.
>> Max: NEVER HAPPEN.
WE'LL FIND OUR WAY BACK WHEN OUR
WORK IS DONE HERE.
AND, BESIDES, I'M ALWAYS WITH
YOU.
>> Gwen: BEN, HURRY!
[ GROANS ]
>> Kevin: TIME TO COME HOME,
BEN.
