Ben 10: Omniverse (2012) s01e24 Episode Script
Vilgax Must Croak
1x24 - Vilgax Must Croak We're in position for final approach, warden K'dak.
Hold on, Plumber.
We've been evacuating this prison for a week.
Last convoy's leaving now then Incarcecon is all yours.
Ben: I don't see why we have to empty out a whole prison for just one guy.
Max: Ben, you of all people should know that we can't trust - your guest around anybody else.
- Rook: He has been quite resourceful.
Ben: Yeah, except for the hundred times I've beaten him.
Max: After you and your security team lock him up and leave, the whole sector will be off-limits to space traffic.
Everything will be automated, down to the food synthesizers.
He'll be in total solitary confinement no one around for him to bribe, blackmail, or beat up.
Vilgax: Am I supposed to be flattered by all this? Ben: Believe me, Vilgax, I don't like it any more than you do.
Vilgax: And believe me, Tennyson, once I am free of this encumbrance, you'll like it even less.
Ben: [ yawns .]
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 Rook: Initiating docking procedure now.
Max: Remember, once you cross into the prison's blackout field, all communication is blocked, so if you're in trouble, you'll be on your own.
Ben: No sweat.
We'll drop off squidface and be on our way in no time.
[ dialing, ringing .]
Attea: All hail Lord emperor Milleous, light of the Incursian empire, destroyer of entire galaxies, all living creatures tremble in your Milleous: Daughter of mine, you cannot hail me every time you're bored.
Attea: What'cha doing, daddy? Milleous: You know exactly what I'm doing.
I just surrounded Vilgaxia and demanded their surrender.
Can we talk later? Attea: Boiling oceans, razing cities, laying waste to billions.
- I wish I could be there.
- Milleous: Kids today.
You don't think strategical.
These Vilgaxians are tough nearly as tough as us Incursians which means, as long as their leader's around, he poses a disincentive to giving up.
Attea: So? Milleous: So, first thing we do is demoralize 'em.
And how do we do that? Attea: By getting rid of Vilgax, which is why you sent me to Incarcecon.
Milleous: And with him out of the picture, their whole system falls apart.
Now, if you don't mind, I have to broadcast another ultimatum.
[ clears throat .]
Attention Vilgaxian scum Attea: Sixsix, Sevenseven, Eighteight you heard the man.
Bring me the head of Vilgax the conqueror! [ speaking native language .]
Attea: Don't be familiar.
You will address me as General or highest Commander.
Ben: Whoa! [ alarm blaring .]
- Rook: Charging deflectors! - Ben: Will that take long?! Rook: Unfortunately, yes.
[ beeping .]
Ben: [ groans .]
- Rook, you okay? - Rook: [ groans .]
Yes.
But I damaged the transport during the landing.
Ben: Yeah.
Not our priority.
Everybody in one piece? Hobble: Well, since you asked, I may have bruised my Ben: Good.
Now we all have to get off this ship, Vilgax included.
Vilgax: [ groans .]
I'm free! I'm [ humming .]
Ben: Not.
And if you do try to escape, those shock manacles will give you a little reminder.
Now, everybody, hold your breath.
And then jump.
[ both scream .]
Vilgax: Get off of me, you insect! Ben: [ grunting .]
I am tired of you! [ grunting .]
- Vilgax: Unh! - Unh! Rook: Ben! Calm down, Ben! Ben: Why should I ?! He set us up! Vilgax: [ scoffs .]
I had nothing to do with that attack.
Ben: Yeah, right! Pull the other tentacle! Vilgax: Look, use your tiny brain.
If they'd destroyed the ship, I would have perished with the rest of you! - Hobble: He has a point.
- Rook: Hobble, do not help.
Ben: Not buying it, Vilgax.
You took a chance that you'd make it out alive and we wouldn't.
You'd do anything to get free.
[ whirring, air hisses .]
Ben: Aah! Hobble: [ gasps .]
Aah! Ow! Rook: Hobble! Are you in pain? Hobble: [ gasps .]
Actually, it only hurts when I Aah! breathe.
Ben: This is all working out just like you planned, isn't it? You don't care who gets hurt, you rotten Attea: Hey! Vilgax! Ready to give up? Not that it matters.
You're toast anyway! Shrimp toast! Rook: Ben, I do not believe that they are trying to free Vilgax.
Vilgax: What did I tell you? Rook: How shall we proceed, Ben? Ben: I'll distract Attea while you do something - I don't know techie.
- Rook: Understood.
Ben: Hey, Attea Ben Tennyson! Attea: [ sighs .]
Why am I not surprised? Ben: I got a question.
If a guy kisses you, do you change into a Princess? Attea: I am a Princess! Obliterate them! Vilgax: That certainly helped.
[ beeping .]
Hobble: We can't keep this up! Ben: What do you got for me, Rook? Rook: According to the prison database, there is one escape pod left here.
Plus, there is an auxiliary communications room down there.
Ben: Good.
You take the Plumbers to the comm room, shut off the blackout field, and call Max for backup.
Rook: Very well.
What will you do? Ben: I'll head for the hangar with Vilgax and try to keep him alive.
Attea: I'm getting bored here! Cannonbolt: Hope this doesn't bore you! Attea: [ gasps .]
Aah! [ electricity crackling .]
Cannonbolt: Unh! Attea: [ groaning .]
Oh, ribbit.
[ beep .]
Ben: Okay, fellas, show's over.
Attea: [ groans .]
Huh? Where's Vilgax? [ speaking native language .]
Attea: I know.
We were all knocked out.
Use your tracker thingees! [ beeping .]
[ speaking native language .]
Attea: I have eyes, Sevenseven.
They split up.
You two, find those Plumbers, while I catch Tennyson and Vilgax.
Eighteight, with me.
[ speaking native language .]
Ben: Keep moving, Vilgax.
I want to make sure you spend the rest of your life nice and safe and locked away.
Vilgax: [ sighs .]
This is the thanks I get? After all, I'm the reason you have the Omnitrix in the first place! Ben: Which you then tried to steal, which began a long tradition of me whipping your butt.
- Vilgax: No, it didn't.
- Ben: Yeah, you're right.
Oh, except for that time I kicked you out into space, and that other time I kicked you out into space, and in that arena.
Oh! And when you got blown up in the ocean.
You see how there's a pattern forming here? Vilgax: Oh, yes, I do.
You've never truly defeated me because you don't have the guts! Ben: Maybe I will let the frogs get you.
Vilgax: Yes, most tempting, I'm sure, but terribly shortsighted.
Ben: You've got that right! Wait.
Why? Vilgax: Do you think the Incursians will be satisfied once they're rid of me and they've conquered my homeworld? Other worlds have fallen.
More will fall.
You want that on your conscience, Ben Tennyson? Rook: It seems that there are two ways down to the communications annex.
We can either descend dozens of ramps and staircases to reach it or use the central express tube.
The stairs are slow but safe.
The express tube is fast, but to reach it, we must cross the catwalk, exposed.
Hobble: Okay.
So what'll it be? - Rook: Why do you ask me? - Hobble: Because you're in charge.
- Rook: I wonder what Ben would do? - Hobble: The catwalk? Rook: Then perhaps we should take the stairs.
[ energy charging .]
Hobble: Ohh! Aw! [ speaking native language .]
Rook: He is right.
Lower your weapons or you will shoot Hobble! - Hobble: You understood that? - Rook: Perfectly.
- Hobble: Catwalk? - Rook: Catwalk! [ metal scraping .]
[ speaking native language .]
Aah! Hobble: Aah! Aah! Whaa! [ gasps .]
Rook: [ grunts .]
Keep going! We are almost there! Hobble: [ gulps .]
[ elevator bell beeping .]
[ gasps .]
[ speaking native language .]
Rook: Huh? [ beeping .]
Bye-Bye.
[ explosion .]
[ speaking native language .]
[ explosion .]
Ben: What was that? Attea: The sound of your friends getting blown to bits! Vilgax: Shut off the manacles.
We can fight them together.
[ beeps .]
That's better.
Ben: Hey! Vilgax: [ grunts .]
[ speaking native language .]
Attea: We'll catch up with Vilgax.
First, I've got a score to settle with Tennyson.
[ speaking native language .]
Ben: I don't think we've met.
I'm Ben.
Ow! Ow! Okay, okay! Not friendly, got that.
Attea: This is Eighteight.
Ben: Any relation to Sixsix or Sevenseven? Aah! [ speaking native language .]
Ben: 'Cause there is a resemblance.
No, no, no, no! In a good way.
[ speaking native language .]
Ben: Look, Attea, you don't like Vilgax, I don't like Vilgax.
Can't we work something out? Attea: I had to spend seventh grade in stasis jail because of you, so Ben: Okay, okay.
[ beep .]
Terraspin: But that was only because you tried to take over your father's empire.
Attea: Ha! If you're trying to run, you turned into the wrong species.
Terraspin: Who said anything about running? [ wind howling .]
Attea: Hey! Whoa! [ speaking native language .]
Vilgax: [ sighs .]
Ben: Gee.
That was close.
[ beeps .]
Vilgax: [ grunting .]
Release me at once! Ben: Why? So you can throw me at Attea and the bounty hunters again? - No way.
- Vilgax: That was a diversion, fool.
I knew you would defeat them easily and rendezvous with me later.
Ben: Comedy isn't real big on your planet, is it? Vilgax: No.
What are you going to do? - Hand me over to that arrogant Incursian? - Ben: Like you said, tempting.
But we're stuck with each other till I can get you off of this rat trap and behind bars someplace else.
Let's go.
Nobody here.
Guess we got lucky.
Aah! Attea: Guess again! Ben: [ grunts .]
You four are in big trouble.
Attea: Who do you think you're talking to? The blackout field's still on, so I know you didn't call for help.
And, as I mentioned, Sixsix and Sevenseven polished off your squad.
Rook: I beg to differ.
Attea: I hate you.
You said you saw them fry! Rook: Alas, appearances can be deceiving.
I will now swing us to safety.
Hobble: Aah! Aah! Hurry! Aah! - Attea: Amateurs! - Ben: Don't have an episode, Attea.
You can hug it out after you're all in the clink.
Attea: Pbht! Don't flatter yourself.
- Rook: Techadon dissipater.
- Ben: Is that dangerous? - Rook: Only if it goes off.
- Attea: Insolent ape.
Vilgax: N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o! Unh! Ben: [ grunts .]
Did you just do what I think you just did? Vilgax: [ grunts .]
I don't know what came over me.
Attea: That was the most glorious act of heroism I've ever seen.
Pbht! Mutilate them! Ben: Rath.
Give me Rath.
Please Rath! Gravattack? I guess.
Hit the dirt! [ all screaming .]
How about we take this gravity power of mine for a little spin? Attea: Aah! Aah! Aah! Gravattack: Dude! Or dudette, I guess.
Do you have any idea how many G's I'm throwing at you? Like, that many! Now you can find the communications room, shut down the blackout field, and call Grandpa Max.
Rook: Gladly.
Follow me, Plumbers.
Hobble: Wow.
Nice work.
Oh! Uh-oh.
[ grunting .]
[ clears throat .]
You hang on to that.
Ben: What do you know, Vilgax? First, you saved me, and then I saved you.
That isn't something you see every Aah! Vilgax: And you won't see it again.
Max: Take it easy, son.
You're okay.
Ben: [ groans .]
I don't feel okay.
Max: Well, look at it like this.
Rook got through to us, and you didn't lose any members of your team.
Ben: Yeah, but what about Max: Attea and her bounty hunters are missing.
- So is Vilgax.
- Ben: She got him? Max: No.
Attea: [ groaning .]
Max: By the time Attea and her pals came to, he was gone.
Ben: No, wait, wait.
So they all got away? I can't believe how bad I messed this up! Max: It's okay, Ben.
You didn't "mess up.
" You did your best.
Attea: I really did! Milleous: That's too bad.
I would think the highest Commander of my celebrated Calaveras legion would not choke in the field! Once word got out that Vilgax got away from you, his home planet put up such a fight, I had to retreat, which, as you might imagine, really deleteriates my game plan.
Attea: I promise, I'll make it up to you! Milleous: You'd better, or there will be real trouble.
Attea: You have no idea, old man.
Hold on, Plumber.
