Trouble Helix
1x04 - Trouble Helix [beeping.]
[groans.]
Still not working right, Blukic! Set it on "stun," we get "blast!" Set it on "blast," we get a low-battery warning! The knob is on upside down, Driba.
- And who's job was that?! - Um, yours.
- Was not.
- Was too.
- Was not! - Was too.
Ben: Ah, come on, guys.
Are we done here? I thought Galvans were supposed to be the smartest beings in the universe "smart," as in "figure stuff out quickly so that Ben Tennyson can go home" smart.
Har, har, Ben Tennyson.
We may not look it But we're still smarter than any human! [blaster powers up.]
Ben: I have yet to see any indication of that.
Aah! Cannonbolt: Why did we hire you guys again? You called control-unit fabrication.
- I call it, but you did it! - You did it! Time to do some digging.
Ben 10 he's a kid, and he wants to have fun but when you need a superhero, he gets the job done Ben 10 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 10 when lives are on the line it's hero time Ben 10 Play Helix files.
Holo display.
Where are you?! Max: I've been struggling with this.
I need to see him now.
I'm going in.
[rumbling.]
[grunts.]
Azmuth, I can't take it anymore.
You've got to do something about Ben.
As you can see, I'm exceedingly busy.
Albedo, modify power cycles.
Max: I made an appointment.
I made 10.
Ooh! You keep postponing! First-thinker Azmuth has told you he's busy, human.
- Accept it.
- Max: Accept this! One of you is helping me with the Ben situation now! Low priority.
Come back in two years.
Xlr8: Whoa! Cool! What's this?! What's that do?! [grunts.]
Whoa.
That's heavy! What's that?! Neat! Max: I told you kids to wait in the Skipper.
Gwen: I tried! But Ben was all, "I got to see the lab! I got to see the lab!" Xlr8: This place is awesome! Did you see that hula-hoop thing?! It makes lightning! Max: This is what I've been dealing with.
The Omnitrix is malfunctioning.
Ben's been trapped as a different alien every week.
- Not my concern.
- Max: I haven't slept in a month.
- Hey! - Xlr8: Whoops! [laughs nervously.]
Sorry! Max: Not so funny when he's messing with your stuff, is it? [sighs.]
Very well.
Ben: Aw, man! Fun's over! Max: Thank goodness.
Gwen: It's been so long I almost forgot what you look like, doofus! Ben: Ma-a-a-a-h! Gwen: Oh! Now I recognize you.
Max: Sit quietly.
I need to have a word with Azmuth.
Gwen, watch him.
Gwen: I'm in charge? Score! Doofus! Doofus! Knock, knock! Who's there? Ben's a doofus! You, Galvanic Mechamorph subspecies, you are forbidden from entering the city.
You're to stay on Galvan B until Ohh! Ohh! Malware: I am not a subspecies! Alert! Galvanic Mechamorph subspecies approaching city.
Ben: Whoa! What's going on out there? Gwen: Don't even think about it.
You heard what Grandpa Max said.
Probably just alien Mardi Gras or something.
Ben: You think? Like a carnival? Or a parade? Feedback: Anything's got to be more fun than just sitting here.
Gwen: I am totally telling Grandpa.
Feedback: Then this better be worth it.
Malware: [roars.]
Max: Come on, kids.
Let's go home.
- Gwen, where's your cousin? - Gwen: I told him not to go.
Malware: Azmuth, I am coming for you! Feedback: You are so not.
Malware: The Omnitrix.
I want it! Feedback: You and everybody else, dude.
Take a number.
Malware: Aah! Feedback: I'll take that energy, thank you.
I don't call this guy "Feedback" for nothing.
[Omnitrix powers down.]
Ben: [grunts.]
Ohh! Four Arms: Okay? I was hoping for Diamondhead, but this will do.
Gwen: Ben! Four Arms: I can take him.
Just need to rest for a second.
Malware: Azmuth?! Malware, this is not the way.
Malware: You promised me an upgrade! You said you'd make me like the others! Your condition is complex.
It has taken more time than I anticipated to Malware: No! No more time! I've had enough of your lies! How dare you speak to Azmuth that way.
He has been working tirelessly to create a secondary Helix specifically to treat you.
Malware: Give it to me now! [chuckles.]
A creature of your low intellect could never understand its workings well enough to operate it.
Malware: [roars.]
The second Helix is not finished.
To use it in its uncompleted form could cause untold destruction.
I need more time to help you.
Malware: No! Your time is up! [whimpers.]
Aah! Stop! Ben: So, friend of yours? Gwen: This is hopeless! Malware flew off the planet! He could be anywhere! Max: Not necessarily.
He doesn't have FTL capability.
Ben: Awesome! Uh what's FTL again? Gwen: "Faster than light.
" Duh! Ben: Oh! And that's good because Max: Because he can't have left the Galvan system yet.
Which means we can track him if we're lucky.
We don't need luck.
He's headed for the moon Galvan B.
- Max: And you know this how? - That's a long story.
Max: Tell it on the way.
Get in.
You too, Ben.
Galactic infant restraint engaged.
Ben: [laughs.]
Max: Not you, Gwen.
Gwen: What?! Why not?! Ben: Oh! Oh! I know! I know! 'Cause you're a nerd? 'Cause you're a girl? Max: That's enough, Ben! Sorry, Gwen.
The Skipper only holds three.
Gwen: Azmuth doesn't even take up a whole seat.
Ben: But you know who does? That's right.
Yours truly.
Galvan B was once much like Earth's moon miles of dead rock, no atmosphere, no day or night.
Ben: Sounds like a boring place.
It was the perfect environment to conduct a planet-wide experiment a place upon which life would thrive.
The results were beyond anything I could have hoped for.
Not only was Galvan B inhabitable, but Ben: Ugh, there's always a "but" with you.
You sure you're as smart as you think? Smarter.
But there was an unforeseen consequence.
My experiment had inadvertently prompted the creation of a brand-new technorganic species the Galvanic Mechamorphs.
We Galvan had no right to colonize their world.
Instead, we gave it to them.
With our help, they built an entire civilization in mere days.
They were peaceful new neighbors.
My Helix experiment was a success beyond my wildest dreams and a failure beyond my wildest nightmares.
[power fading.]
Malware an incomplete Mechamorph its life code interrupted, corrupted during creation.
Unlike all the others of his kind, Malware had the ability to not just mimic tech.
It became him, but at a terrible price.
I've tried many times to help him, to make him like the others.
Malware's condition is intriguingly complex, and his volatile nature is challenging.
Ben: So a dangerous tech vampire has been begging you to fix him for years, and you told him you'd get around to it? You have no idea of the responsibilities I carry, Ben Tennyson.
Ben: Blah, blah, blah.
You goofed up, and now you need me to fix it.
Max: I don't know if it's that simple, Ben.
Gwen: There you are! Ben: Aah! Gwen? How'd you do that? Gwen: Just borrowing some of Azmuth's equipment.
- I'm a nerd, remember? - Ben: You got that right.
Max: [groans.]
Kids, we need to focus.
We've got a potential disaster on our hands here.
Indeed.
I believe Malware is going to link the old Helix with the new one he stole to try to rewrite his life code.
Ben: Isn't that what you were trying to do? Yes, but not this way.
Gwen: They use different kinds of energy.
And if anything goes wrong, there's gonna be a really big "boom.
" Ben: That's amazing! Gwen found a way to make herself even more annoying and geeky! - Gwen: Blah! - Ben: Aah! Are they dead? Not yet.
They've been corroded and withered nearly to the point of nonexistence.
Ben: [shudders.]
Max: Can you help them? Only if I act immediately.
I need to use your ship's power supply.
If I am to save these Mechamorphs, I'm afraid you'll have to face Malware without me.
[blaster cocks.]
Max: We'll have to hit him hard and fast.
Gwen: What can I do, Grandpa? Max: You can run the Skipper's systems remotely.
Help Azmuth.
Ben and I will Ben?! Gwen: He ditched you, didn't he? Max: Stop where you are, son.
You can't run in half-cocked.
We need a plan.
Ben: Oh, I've got a plan.
It's called "hero time"! Heatblast: Oh, yeah! Get ready to roast, Malware! Malware: Do it! I want my upgrade now! Finish the Helix! Rewrite my life code! It would help if you'd stop smashing everything in sight.
Bringing me along was pretty smartfor you.
Aside from Azmuth, himseli, I am the only Galvan with sufficient intelligence to Malware: If you mention how smart you are once more, I will end you.
Heatblast: Got to say I'm with you on that one.
Malware: Do not interfere! This upgrade is my right! Heatblast: But Azmuth says Malware: Azmuth says lots of things, but where is he now? Heatblast: Right outside, trying to save the Mechamorphs that you Malware: Aah! Of course he is! They are his perfect creations! They deserve to be destroyed! Heatblast: I think you got that backwards, man! Malware: Pathetic.
Heatblast: I'm just warming up.
Get it? Heatblast? Warm? Max: Keep away from my grandson! Stop fiddling with that thing.
We're getting out! Now! It's too late.
If I don't complete the link with the primary Helix, the secondary Helix will cycle out of control and destroy the moon with us on it.
Even Azmuth couldn't have solved that not under these conditions.
Malware: At last, I will be cured! [power surging.]
Yes! It's working! I can feel my life code changing! Ben: Uh, am I crazy, or did he just win? Wait for it.
[surging continues.]
Malware: Aah! Ben: We rule! We totally rule! Max: We got lucky.
Ben: What luck? Me plus Omnitrix times crazy supervillain equals total smack down! [clears throat.]
Actually, I was the one who defeated him.
By managing the power cycles of the two Helixes, I caused an overload just as the Mechamorph touched the control rods.
Top that, Omnitrix boy.
Ben: You're really getting on my nerves, guy.
[electricity crackling.]
Malware: Upgrade complete.
Malware: I am complete! You have what you wanted.
Now you're like the rest of the Mechamorphs.
Malware: [laughs evilly.]
What I am now is so much more than they! I am superior! Ben: Oh, boy.
Evil speech of evil time.
Malware: Evil? No.
Visionary! I feel power building inside me! I see the world that only I can create! It was Azmuth who thought me flawed.
He gave me the name Malware.
But I am not the flawed one.
It is all the rest that are inferior.
They bend and stretch, mimic and manipulate only what other have created.
I do not upgrade others' creations.
They upgrade me! And I will upgrade myself with Azmuth's greatest creation.
Ben: Dude, I can't even begin to tell you how much none of that is gonna happen.
Malware: Accept the inevitable.
Aah! Aah! Aah! Malware: Ohh! Max: Ben, break off! This whole place is gonna come down! Cannonbolt: Don't worry.
I have a plan.
I can do this.
- Can he? - Max: He always surprises me.
Cannonbolt: [groans.]
Malware: Why do you struggle? In a moment, I will access all the codes, and the device will be mine.
Cannonbolt: You know how many guys have said that to me? All of them! [Omnitrix powers down.]
Ben: Guess who's still got it! Malware: I've had enough! Ha! Now it's mine! Diamondhead: Don't you ever get tired of being wrong? Give up, Malware! Only one of us is walking away from this! Malware: You are right about that! Diamondhead: Oh, man.
[grunting.]
Malware: Say goodbye, little human.
Diamondhead: You can't get through crystal, can you? Too bad, so sad.
Malware: No! Stop! You can't! You haven't won.
I will be free again.
And when I am, all the Galvan system all of the universe [Omnitrix powers down.]
Ben: Will thank me for shutting you up.
Max: Good work, son.
Top-notch.
Ben: Told you my plan would work.
My plans always work.
Max: It's always the same plan.
Ben: Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Goodbye, Tennysons.
Thank you for not destroying everything.
Ben: I totally just saved two whole planets by myself.
- Gwen: One planet and a moon.
- Ben: Details.
Gwen: So? I totally helped Azmuth save all those other Mechamorphs.
Ben: Grandpa, can we leave Gwen behind again? Hmm.
This has been illuminating.
Copy Helix files.
Copy all files.
Designate Ben Tennyson.
I am so done being your lab rat! Blukic is the one who crossed the polarities! You set his pants on fire.
Liar, liar.
[laughs.]
Ben: Seriously, you guys are worse than Azmuth.
- Of course we are.
Everyone is.
- That Galvan's a genius! We have everything we need now, boy.
No secrets are safe.
