Kevin: You gonna eat that?
Ben: I got stopped by some
fans.
Kevin: How long does it take
to sign a couple of autographs?
Ben: Hey, it's the least I
could do for my adoring public.
Kevin: You mean your paying
public.
Ben: My what?
Ben: My what?
Experience the excitement!
Share the adventure!
See the world's greatest hero
it's "Ben live"!
Kevin: Hey, Tennyson, looks
Kevin: Hey, Tennyson, looks
like you got your own show.
it's just wrong.
Kevin: Pretending to be you
in a stage show for money?
Sure is -- unless they pay you.
Ben: Right?
I mean, no.
I mean, aren't there laws about
this -- facial copyright or
something?
Gwen: According to their
website, this show sells out
everywhere it plays.
People are driving Miles to see
you.
Ben: So?
Kevin: Kind of seems like a
compliment.
Ben: Compliment?
Did you see that guy's hair?
Gwen: Okay, nice work on
Gwen: Okay, nice work on
the priorities.
Kevin: Has it started?
No.
However, we just closed the
doors.
May I see your tickets?
Ben: Hello?
Gwen: Don't mind him.
He's had a long flight.
We'll take three, please.
Impossible.
It's sold out.
[ Beep ]
Armodrillo: [ Roars ]
Go...Right in.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
to the Nemesis towers resort
celebrity theater and to
tonight's special
presentation of...
Bentravaganza!
[ Sci-Fi music plays ]
Attention, earthlings.
I am Vilgax the conqueror, here
on my moon base, on the moon.
Surrender, or I shall destroy
you!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Kevin: Moon base?
Ben: Yeah.
I hear it's on the moon.
Not so fast, Vilgax.
Nobody is destroying anything!
So says I, Ben Tennyson!
[ Heroic music plays ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Whirring ]
[ Beep ]
Time for you to chill out,
Vilgax.
Vilgax.
[ Inhales deeply, blows ]
[ Audience murmurs ]
I can't get out.
Kevin: Vilgax is kind of a
feeb, but the rest of them are
pretty good.
Ben: No, they aren't.
Gwen: Come on.
Even you have to admit this is
kind of awesome.
[ Laughs evilly ]
You are trapped, Ben Tennyson.
You cannot save yourself!
Well, in that case, I had
better call for a little help...
From the Gwenettes!
[ Whistles ]
[ Whirring ]
[ Whirring ]
[ Up-tempo music plays ]
Kevin: Gwens.
Gwen: That is so wrong!
Kevin: Um, exactly what I was
thinking.
[ Whirring ]
[ Knuckles crack ]
[ Beep ]
[ Beep ] [ Roars ]
[ Clatters ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Anything, we find out all the
facts.
Ben: Since when did you
become the voice of reason?
Kevin: Since you two became
theater critics.
Okay. Now I'm perfectly calm.
Kevin: I don't see what
you're so sore about.
You're so sore about.
I'm not even in the show.
This is a private --
ooh.
Real Ben Tennyson?
Ben: Uh-huh.
Not happy about the show?
Ben: Unh-Unh.
I got to go.
Ben: We've got some business
Ben: We've got some business
to discuss.
Albedo: Ben Tennyson.
We meet again.
What do you think you're doing?!
Albedo: I was about to go out
for some chili fries.
Care to join me?
Ben: I mean, what are you
doing with this show?
Albedo: Truth be told, I'm
making the best of a bad
situation.
Thanks to you, I have no
Ultimatrix and hence no way to
fly myself away from this sad
little planet your actions
stranded me upon.
Worst of all, I'm trapped in
this repulsive human form!
And since I needed some way to
earn a living...
I realized that the most
fitting, if ironic, choice would
be to make money off of you, so
I created "Ben live."
B: Well, you just had your
last curtain call.
The show's over.
Albedo: [ Gasps ]
And disappoint my fans?
Albedo: Whatever.
[ Beep ]
[ Rumbling ]
Kevin: Ah!
Gwen: [ Grunts ]
Ben: [ Grunts ]
Hey!
Shut that thing off.
I'm going after albedo.
Kevin: On it!
Gwen: [ Grunts ]
Gwen: [ Grunts ]
[ Glass shatters ]
Gwen: [ Grunting ]
Ben: I thought you said you
didn't have an Ultimatrix.
Yeah. So?
Ben: So if you don't have an
Ultimatrix, how did you change
into Swampfire?
Huh.
Uh, that's, uh...
None of your business!
[ Beep ]
[ Beep ]
Waterhazard: Waterhazard!
I changed again.
I changed again.
Now I'm a different creature!
[ Beep ]
NRG: NRG!
Got to do better than that,
albedo.
[ Roars ]
NRG: Really?
Really.
Really.
Wait. Time-out.
Bring it on.
[ Beeping ]
Ultimate Spidermonkey:
Ultimate Spidermonkey:
Ultimate Spidermonkey!
Kevin: What'd we miss?
Ultimate Spidermonkey: Albedo
just played a collection of his
greatest hits.
Gwen: But I thought he
said --
ultimate Spidermonkey: Yeah.
No Ultimatrix.
Plus, he was really easy to
beat.
I'm not finished yet.
I'm not finished yet.
Wait till I get my second wind.
Not counting us and albedo, I'm
sensing three more life forms.
Ultimate Spidermonkey: You
two have a look around.
Two have a look around.
I'm gonna chat with albedo.
Ultimate Spidermonkey: How's
it hanging?
Would you mind letting me down?
I have a major fear of heights.
Also of falling and bruising.
Ultimate Spidermonkey: You
know what, albedo?
You don't sound much like
yourself.
Ah, yes.
Well, um, I'm sure there's a,
you know, reasonable
explanation.
Albedo: [ Grunting ]
Kevin: Look who we found.
And that would be it.
Albedo: [ Grunting ]
Ben: Explanations?
Albedo: [ Grunting ]
Ow.
Albedo: As I mentioned, I was
broke and I was stranded.
But I did have an old subspace
communicator.
So I used it to find performers
who would lend my show a certain
verisimilitude.
[ Grumbling ]
Albedo: [ Sighs ]
Albedo: [ Sighs ]
[ Tango music plays ]
Next!
[ Snarling ]
[ Burps ]
Albedo: What you see here are
the winners, such as they are.
Gwen: This Ultimatrix is just
an overgrown strobe light.
Between that and the smoke, he
blinded the audience long enough
to cover the aliens' entrances
and exits.
Kevin: So, you've been going
around the country, doing this
act for...
Albedo: Ever since I escaped
from Vilgax's ship.
Every second-rate resort, sales
convention, and county fair.
In one night, out the next.
Gwen: But now you're gonna
stop, right?
Albedo: What, and give up
show business?
Ben: Oh, I am so going to
clobber you!
Gwen: Oh, but what's the
point?
Ben: "What's the point?"
I'll tell you what's the point!
How many times has albedo stolen
the Omnitrix or the Ultimatrix
or kidnapped you or, might I
add, tried to k*ll me?!
And -- and now here he is again,
ripping me off, using my face to
fool people and steal their
money with this ridiculous
dog-and-phony show!
Kevin: Feel better?
Ben: A little.
Gwen: Ben, if you want to
shut down "Ben live," fine.
My dad's a lawyer.
Let him handle it.
Ben: Yeah, but --
Gwen: I don't like him,
either, but albedo isn't a
threat anymore.
He's a nuisance.
Albedo: You needn't worry.
Tonight was our last
performance.
[ Gasps ]
What?!
B-but what about --
albedo: I said we're done.
Ben: All right.
But try anything like this
again, and I'll -- I'll --
Gwen: See you in court.
Gwen: See you in court.
Ben: Yeah! That!
Major beatdown.
Kevin: Why waste the energy?
End of story.
[ Panting ]
[ Panting ] Wait for me!
Doing?
[ Breathlessly ] Trying to
catch up.
Parenthetically, I am not much
of an athlete.
I came to warn you about
Albedo's real plan.
Kevin: He's selling toys and
t-shirts?
[ Stammers ]
I'm serious!
Albedo wasn't just raising money
for rent.
H-he's been slowly buying parts
and equipment so he can build a
doomsday b*mb.
Ben: Doomsday b*mb?
Yes!
And -- and -- and he's gonna set
and -- and -- and he's gonna set
it off tonight!
Kevin: Why do bad guys always
have their hideouts in a
warehouse?
Do they get a discount?
Ben: Could we focus here?
Albedo is building a doomsday
b*mb.
Gwen: But why blow up the
world?
Ben: Because that's what
doomsday bombs do?
Gwen: No, think for a second.
If Albedo's stuck on earth, what
does he gain from destroying it?
It doesn't make sense.
I-I didn't say, "destroy."
A-actually, what he's got
planned is even crazier.
Th-th-the b*mb is designed to,
uh, rewrite DNA.
So -- so everyone in the whole
world will be a genetic
duplicate of Ben Tennyson.
Duplicate of Ben Tennyson.
Kevin: That's horrifying.
Gwen: What's that?
That's, uh, to protect him
from the b*mb's face-altering
radiation.
Gwen: Hold on.
He already looks like Ben, so
why protect himself --
Ben: No time for a debate,
Gwen.
We have to stop albedo -- now!
[ Beep ]
NRG: Back away from the b*mb.
Gwen: Ben, would you wait a
second?
Kevin: No.
Albedo: Hold them off.
Albedo: Hold them off.
NRG: [ Grunts ]
This suit is designed to protect
against radiation and heat.
I did not know that.
[ Grunts ]
Gwen: [ Grunts ]
[ Grunts ]
Gwen: [ Grunts ]
Kevin, where are you?
Kevin, where are you?
Kevin: [ Grunts ]
NRG: Hey, whose side are you
on?
[ Grunts ]
Actually, that's kind of
complicated.
NRG: Well, let me know when
you figure it out.
[ Grunts ]
[ Grunts ] [ Grunts ]
Careful!
I-I'm a bleeder!
I-I'm a bleeder!
[ Whirring ]
Spidermonkey: Spidermonkey!
Better yet...
Ultimate Spidermonkey:
Ultimate Spidermonkey:
Ultimate Spidermonkey!
Everything!
Ultimate Spidermonkey: Yeah.
Ultimate Spidermonkey: Yeah.
That's sort of the plan.
Have to do this the hard way.
Have to do this the hard way.
[ Grunts ]
Something.
Something.
Kevin: Like take bets?
Ben: [ Groans ]
You're not going anywhere.
You're not going anywhere.
Uh-oh.
Where's albedo?
Kevin: There!
Albedo: [ Grunts ]
Ben: Huh?
Albedo: The
genetic-alteration field worked,
in spite of your meddling.
I don't need an Ultimatrix
anymore.
Ben: Dude, you're cured!
That's great!
Now I can alter my DNA at will.
Ben: I'm ready for anything
you can throw at me.
Albedo: Why would I throw
anything at you?
I'm no longer trapped in your
hideous human form.
I'm free of you at last!
Kevin: Wait, you're not gonna
attack us?
Albedo: No.
I'm getting off this backwater
planet while the getting is
good.
With any luck, I will never see
your hideous face ag
the mirror or in person.
Ben: Still trying to catch
up.
So, you're saying that wasn't a
doomsday b*mb?
Albedo: A what?
Ben: A doomsday b*mb.
That was going to make everyone
on earth look like me?
Okay, now that I say it out
loud, it does sound kind of
stupid.
Kevin: I get it.
The thing on your chest was --
albedo: Designed to focus the
genetic-alteration field on me
specifically.
Specifically.
Ben: Of course it was.
No!
No!
It can't be!
Albedo: You imbecile!
The Ultimatrix must have
interfered with the alteration
field.
So now whatever I turn into,
I'll always change back...To
this!
It's all my fault, albedo.
I-I brought them here.
Albedo: Why would you do
that?
Back home, I'm a nothing.
But here on earth, I-I'm kind of
a celebrity.
[ Clears throat ]
At least I closely resemble a
celebrity.
Most importantly, I had friends,
especially you.
That's why I told Ben Tennyson,
so he would stop you, so you
wouldn't leave.
Albedo: I don't blame you,
Hugh.
I blame you!
You did this to me!
It's always you!
[ Roars ]
Echo echo: Echo echo!
[ Grunts ]
Echo echo: [ Pulses ]
Ah!
Echo echo: [ Grunts ]
[ Beep ]
Ultimate echo echo: Ultimate
echo echo.
By the way, I like the
sound-wave grenade you used at
the theater.
Want to see my version?
Aah!
Gwen: [ Grunts ]
Gwen: [ Grunts ]
[ Grunting ]
Albedo: [ Grunts ]
Ben: You want him?
He's all yours.
But he's not going to be very
happy when he wakes up.
That's okay.
I'll take care of him.
I'll take care of him.
He's my friend.
Friends.
Kevin: Tell me about it.
Kevin: Tell me about it.
Seriously, I-I want to hear.
Little nuts about that whole
show thing.
Kevin: A little?
Ben: Okay, a lot.
I guess if you want to be a
world-famous hero, you got to
give up some stuff -- like
privacy.
Gwen: [ Yawns ]
And sleep.
Ben: The one good thing to
come out of this is I'll never
have to hear about "Ben live"
again.
Mr. Tennyson?
Ben: Yes?
On behalf of the owners of
the Nemesis resort hotel, I'd
the Nemesis resort hotel, I'd
like to present you with this.
A summons.
We're suing you for the damage
you caused to our theater.
Ben: But -- but --
see you in court.
Ben: Is your dad home?
Ben: Is your dad home?
I think I'm gonna need a lawyer.
Ben: I got stopped by some
fans.
Kevin: How long does it take
to sign a couple of autographs?
Ben: Hey, it's the least I
could do for my adoring public.
Kevin: You mean your paying
public.
Ben: My what?
Ben: My what?
Experience the excitement!
Share the adventure!
See the world's greatest hero
it's "Ben live"!
Kevin: Hey, Tennyson, looks
Kevin: Hey, Tennyson, looks
like you got your own show.
it's just wrong.
Kevin: Pretending to be you
in a stage show for money?
Sure is -- unless they pay you.
Ben: Right?
I mean, no.
I mean, aren't there laws about
this -- facial copyright or
something?
Gwen: According to their
website, this show sells out
everywhere it plays.
People are driving Miles to see
you.
Ben: So?
Kevin: Kind of seems like a
compliment.
Ben: Compliment?
Did you see that guy's hair?
Gwen: Okay, nice work on
Gwen: Okay, nice work on
the priorities.
Kevin: Has it started?
No.
However, we just closed the
doors.
May I see your tickets?
Ben: Hello?
Gwen: Don't mind him.
He's had a long flight.

Impossible.

that?
Back home, I'm a nothing.

Gwen: [ Yawns ]
And sleep.
Ben: The one good thing to
come out of this is I'll never
have to hear about "Ben live"
again.
Mr. Tennyson?
Ben: Yes?
On behalf of the owners of
the Nemesis resort hotel, I'd
the Nemesis resort hotel, I'd
like to present you with this.
A summons.
We're suing you for the damage
you caused to our theater.
Ben: But -- but --
