Once again, we're getting word of a break-in at the Coriolanus labs in Bellwood ending in a high-speed police pursuit through downtown [ sirens wailing .]
[ tires screeching .]
[ tires screech .]
[ brakes squeak .]
Ben Tennyson! Ben: I see him.
Thanks, Chief.
I'm not the Chief.
[ beep .]
Rook: We will take it from here.
Careful.
She stole some kind of fusion thing.
Rook: I am a Plumber, officer.
I am always careful.
Crashhopper: Yah! Yah! At the end of your rope, huh? Ester: Not ever.
[ grunts .]
Eeeee! Aah! 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 Crashhopper: Whoa! Aah! Crashhopper: Ptew! [ gasps .]
Uh shoo.
[ grunts .]
Ester: You might have the power, Ben Tennyson, but I got the reach! Rook: Do not touch it! [ sizzling .]
Ester: It's been an honor, Ben, but I don't think that form suits you.
Bye-bye! [ grunts .]
[ chirps .]
Okay.
So, the girl took the fusion device where? [ grunts .]
Are you going to stay like that? Crashhopper: Just till the Omnitrix times out.
- Rook: How long does that take? - Crashhopper: Uh, 15 minutes or so.
Ben: Guess that's it.
Rook: I think our thief appreciate this Ben Tennyson a little more.
Ben: Huh? Rook: She did express interest in some other form of yours.
Ben: Oh.
She must have meant Ditto.
According to the fan sites, that's my cutest alien.
Rook: That is not at all what she meant.
Ben: Ha! Right! 'Cause you know everything about girls.
[ beeping .]
Rook: We have something.
[ beeping continues .]
[ grunts .]
[ grunts .]
[ beeping continues .]
[ aliens speaking native languages .]
Ben: Bet it's that.
[ beeping intensifies .]
Rook: An old thermo-electric generator.
Space junk.
Not junk.
A bargain! [ gulping .]
It's even hotter down here than it is up there! Rook: Perhaps I can recalibrate Ben: Uh, Rook? Don't bother.
Hold it! - Ester: You turned human.
- Ben: I do that.
Rook: Hand over the fusion engine, please.
Ester: What if I told you I couldn't? Ben: It's not a matter of "could.
" Two of us, one of you.
Ester: You sure you won't just trust me on this? No? [ grunts .]
[ beep .]
Eatle: Got ya! [ steam hissing .]
Ester: You sure? [ groans .]
[ grunts .]
I'm pretty sure.
Seebik: Get off her! Off! [ lasers charge .]
- Give us the fusion engine.
- Eatle: Who are you? Seebik: We're the Kraaho.
I'm Seebik.
Lackno: Uh, can we do this quickly, Seebik? I can see my breath! Eatle: You're cold? What's your problem? Seebik: You're the one with the problem.
The fusion engine.
- Rook: You are not getting it.
- Eatle: Not without a fight.
Ben: Is everyone around here made of rubber? Ester: Only the winners.
- Ben: I'm warning you - Ester: Yes? [ beep .]
[ Omnitrix sputters .]
[ beep .]
[ beeping .]
Ben: I got nothing.
Ester: Let's do this again sometime - this or anything else, I guess.
- Ben: Huh? Lackno: C-c-c-can we get going, Seebik? I'm f-freezing! Seebik: Ester, stop talking to that cold-cut.
Rook: These are Tungsten-based life forms, no doubt.
Ben: Uh-huh.
Totally.
Lackno: S-Seebik, two more minutes, and I'm an ice sculpture.
Seebik: All right, Lackno.
But first finish him off.
Ester: Seebik, that's Ben Tennyson! Ben: Don't forget Rook! Better "off" him, too.
I'd totally let you guys go, but this guy never gives up.
- Seebik: Back to the hot spot! - Ester: But you never said you This isn't the Kraaho way.
Seebik: The Kraaho way is what I say it is! Go now! [ sighs .]
[ stomping .]
Rook: They seem to want to "off" us with some sort of ritualized "offing.
" Ben: Thank you, tribal culture channel.
[ beep .]
Gravattack: Okay, then.
Take off! [ all gasp .]
First, I make you weightless, and then Ben: Then I time out.
- Rook: I thought you said 15 minutes.
- Ben: Give or take.
[ all groaning .]
Ester: Sorry.
I can't let you do this.
I'm f-f-freezing! - I can't see! - Over there! Ow! Ester: Come on! [ growls .]
Lackno: Ah! - Ester: Hurry! - Ben: Wait.
I can't run away.
It doesn't matter if those guys are made of Tungsten or tuna fish.
I got to stop them.
Ester: They have what they want.
They won't be any more trouble.
- Rook: Everything about this is trouble.
- Ben: Yeah, including yo unh! Ester: The Kraaho can't follow us up here.
Too cold.
Ben: Sure, 'cause it's only Rook: The Kraaho need extreme heat, yet you seem fine without it.
Ester: I'm only half-Kraaho.
To me, it's just nippy out.
- Rook: And the fusion engine? - Ester: They needed that to keep warm.
Ben: And now they have what they need, so problem solved? Ester: Exactly.
Ben gets it.
- You're overthinking everything.
- Ben: I wouldn't say - It's Ester! - Ester! [ all cheer .]
Ester: Friends of mine.
Come play with us! - Yeah! - Come on, you guys! Rook: We were chasing a thief, and there she is! Ben: Yeah, and she saved us, dude.
Loosen up! [ sighs .]
"Problem solved, dude! She saved us, dude! Loosen yourself, dude!" [ sighs .]
Want to play with us? Ester: He's playing.
Come on, player.
[ horn honking .]
Car! - Here we go! - Let's do this! [ indistinct shouting .]
Ben: Hey! [ grunts .]
Car! [ groans .]
- We can go easy if you want.
- Ben: Go easy? [ beep .]
Xlr8: It's on like computron! [ clang! .]
- Whoo-hoo! - Yeah! [ chuckles .]
Who wants to cool off? [ beep .]
[ all cheering, laughing .]
Water Hazard: Hey, Ester Ester: No! No! Aah! [ laughter .]
All: Android ella, dressed in yella, went topside to kiss a fella! [ shivers .]
[ chuckles .]
[ laughs .]
Rook: She likes you, Ben, dude.
Ben: Everyone likes me.
I'm the hero.
Rook: Yes, but she is not innocent.
The party is over.
You must tell her.
Be the hero, Ben before I am forced to poop this party.
[ electricity crackles .]
- Lackno: It's ready.
- Seebik: Fire the laser! Lackno: How long will this take? I've been cold so long, I've got frostbite on my Seebik: Lackno! Enough with the "how cold is it" jokes! Lackno: on my frostbite.
[ beeping .]
Seebik! The laser struck magma! Seebik: Here we go! Valves open! Pumps on! [ mechanical whirring .]
Ahh.
Finally! Lackno: Yeah.
Yeah, I was so cold that [ clears throat .]
Never mind.
Seebik: Now let's clear some room for what do they call it topside? Lackno: Bellwood.
Seebik: Make way for New Bellwood.
Aah! [ horns blaring .]
[ gasps .]
Aah! Aah! [ people screaming .]
[ tires screech .]
[ tires screech .]
[ horn blares .]
[ all screaming .]
Ester: I swear I didn't know! Rook: That the Kraaho would use the fusion engine to do this? This is their work, isn't it? Ben: We're past the blame stage.
It's hero time! [ car alarm blaring .]
[ beep .]
Arctiguana? Cool! [ siren wailing .]
[ beeping .]
- Ester! You're okay! - Ben: For now.
Rook: Look! The lava is still coming.
What will happen when it flows down into undertown? [ gasps .]
My parents! Rook: Miss, we need that fusion engine back.
The Kraaho are using you.
Ester: They said they wanted to make it warmer down there.
Ben: Down where? That place they told you to go to, right the hot spot? Ester: You're asking me to betray my people.
Ben: Asking? I am begging you.
[ lasers charging .]
Lackno: It's a miracle, Seebik! You turned this frozen wasteland into an oasis! Seebik: As soon as New Bellwood's warm and the stragglers dealt with how does the name "New Earth" strike you? [ gasps .]
Seebik! You lied to me! Seebik: How long can we stay in this cavern? A generation? Two, maybe? We need a world, Ester.
Ester: This world doesn't belong to you.
You can't roast it! Seebik: It's not up for debate! My word is law! [ beep .]
NRG: Create a distraction.
I'll get the fusion device.
[ metal creaks .]
Rook: Hey! Hey! Eyes on me! Today we will learn an Earth game called "tag.
" [ all muttering .]
[ poink! .]
You are it! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! NRG: I'm a way better at distractions.
Seebik: You brought him here? Your father would be ashamed of you! [ lasers zapping .]
[ grunts .]
[ grunts .]
Um very good! Now, who wants to learn the electric slide? [ laser charges .]
[ panting .]
[ grunts .]
[ grunts .]
[ grunts .]
Ester: Rook! [ groans .]
[ grunts .]
[ panting .]
Hurry, Ben! [ grunts .]
[ grunts .]
[ panting .]
[ groans .]
[ grunts .]
Seebik: Keep that cold-cut away from the engine! NRG: Get off me! [ thud .]
No! Please, whatever you do, keep the suit closed! Don't open me up! That will end NRG! Suckers! [ laughs .]
Seebik: Warriors, don't let him do that.
NRG: That is good fusion engine.
[ beeping .]
Seebik: Well, you've won.
Happy? Ester: You haven't exactly lost.
We'll do just fine here in the hot spot.
Ben: It is practically another part of undertown.
You even have your own private hot springs.
Seebik: Coexistence, living next to a city of cold-cuts that's not the Kraaho way.
Ester: No, Seebik, it's not your way.
I see that now.
But it was my father's way.
Ben: Yeah! Wait, who was your father? Ester: He was the leader before Seebik.
Ben: What are you doing? Seebik: Anything she wants.
She's defeated me.
Ester: And? Seebik: And the Kraaho way is whatever you say it is.
- Ester: Coexistence.
- Lackno: You'd allow it? Ben: As long as you don't step out of line.
If you do, well Ester: As leader of the Kraaho, I swear this day that I will always be a good neighbor to you, Ben Tennyson.
Ben: Uh, yeah.
Well, easy, now.
Rook has to go patrol his right, Rook? Rook: Water.
Ben: Lemonade? [ gulping .]

Thank you.
Hey, it's Ester's boyfriend! - Hey, Ester's boyfriend! - Hi, Ester's boyfriend! [ sing-song voice .]
Ester has a boyfriend! - Where's Ester? - Rook: Still at large.
Ben: Not her fault the fusion engine was never recovered.
She's not my girlfriend! We're just friends.
Just Hey, wait a second.
Do you think I have a shot with her? Rook: What? sync & correction
