|
| The Tennysons exit the Rustbucket and enter a space museum.
|
| Ben
|
(exiting the Rustbucket) Wait for me!
|
| Max
|
Here we are, kids, the Coleman-Kennedy Astronautical Museum.
|
| Ben
|
Woah! Look at that!
|
| Gwen
|
Oh, cool!
|
| Ben
|
(stops at telescope models) Check out this collection of extraterrestrial space cannons!
|
| Gwen
|
(chuckles) These are antique telescopes.
|
| Ben
|
Then how about this chemical-waste space harvester? For uh... collecting waste and stuff!
|
| Gwen
|
That's not a space harvester, that's a...
|
| Max
|
(reading brochure) It says here that's a moon rover.
|
| Ben
|
(stops at broken satellite model) You cannot tell me this isn't an ancient alien space weapon. Look! It even has battle damage.
|
| Justine
|
(chuckles) That's some imagination you got there. This is actually the VNM-3, just a regular ol' satellite. They get older malfunction and come down from time to time.
|
| Ben
|
That's what I said, it's a satellite that was in space battle! How else do you explain this chunk missing?
|
| Justine
|
Oh, that section just had some unidentified material on it. We've been studying it back at the lab.
|
| Ben
|
Unidentified material? You mean space stuff?! (excited) Can we see?
|
| Justine
|
(chuckles) Of course not. Only scientists and astronauts have the proper clearance.
|
| Ben
|
But I could be an astronaut.
|
| Gwen
|
Psh, not with your grades.
|
| Ben
|
Hey! Who is the alien expert here?
|
| Max
|
She's right, Ben. It takes a lot of hard work and training to become an astronaut.
|
| Gwen
|
Yeah, not to mention, courage and brains.
|
| Ben
|
I am insulted!
|
| Max
|
Settle down, you two. Let's just keep looking. Come on, let's see the next exhibit.
|
|
|
| While the Tennysons are talking, the worker enters the office.
|
| Justine
|
So, how are the tests on the VNM-3 Specimen going?
|
| Remi
|
(takes hands off eyes) Peek-a-boo! (picks up small jar with VNM-3 Specimen)
|
| Justine
|
Remi, what are you doing?
|
| Remi
|
Huh? Oh, uh, I performed all the usual tests I could think of with no external or internal response. Now I'm just, you know, grasping at straws.
|
| Justine
|
Are you sure you're a real scientist?
|
| Remi
|
That's what my degree says. Look, I don't think we're going to make any new developments with this thing. Let's go grab lunch.
|
| When Remi got up from his chair, his chair spins and hits the jar he was carrying with the VNM-3 Specimen, the jar falls on the ground and shatters, then the VNM-3 Specimen escapes through the vents. Through the underways, a rat comes across the VNM-3 Specimen, then suddenly, the specimen shapeshifts into the rat, then the specimen looks at it then growls and scares the rat away.
|
|
|
| Back with the Tennysons
|
| Max
|
Let's head this way. The brochure says there's a nice exhibit with moon rocks.
|
| Max and Gwen walk ahead, while Ben stops at an alien shuttle
|
| Ben
|
Woah, if I could get inside this thing, I'd be just like a real astronaut! Gwen doesn't think I got what it takes.
|
| Gwen (in Ben's imagination)
|
Don't you dare Ben, you know better than that.
|
| Ben
|
I know what I gotta do.
|
| Gwen (in Ben's imagination)
|
Ben!
|
| Ben
|
(makes Gwen in his imagination disappear) Go away, go away. (activates the Omnitrix and scrolls through aliens) Now to pick the right alien for space adventures, it's gotta be someone who knows their stuff (selects Grey Matter's dial)
|
| Grey Matter enters the space shuttle.
|
| Grey Matter
|
(pretending to be a captain) Captain Tennyson in the Lunchbox Voyager, reporting to central command. (pretends to be central command) This is central command! It's Vilgax, he's right on your tail! Engage forward thrusters! (switches to captain) Engaging! (pushes thruster) Oh no, reinforcements! And they're firing lasers! Not to worry, I shall fend them off with our deflector shields! (pretends to press shields) Alley oop! Captain, what is our next move? (switches to central command) We are surrounded by Vilgax's army, we must fight (speaks to VNM-3 Specimen as rat) Ensign, fire our blast cannons. (notices VNM-3 Specimen's presence) Aah! Where did you come from? Don't you know you shouldn't play in a museum exhibit?
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen flickers.
|
| Grey Matter
|
Hmm, I am quite certain you are no ordinary mouse. I've never seen one move like that before. (terrorized by its flickering) Aah!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen shapeshifts into Grey Matter.
|
| Grey Matter
|
Fascinating, you can copy forms? It's uncanny, you look just like me!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen copy's Grey Matter's movements.
|
| Grey Matter
|
Huh? You can even copy my moves? That's over the line! I worked hard to perfect that pose, and you can copy it perfectly! It's bad enough that I'm in here, but if we both get caught, I'll get double grounded! So why don't you move along?
|
| VNM-3 Specimen
|
(growls)
|
| Grey Matter
|
Or not!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen jumps on Grey Matter and starts fighting him.
|
| Grey Matter
|
Let go!
|
| The fight then brings themselves outside the shuttle, then the VNM-3 Specimen throws Grey Matter into a storage room and a janitor exits the storage room and closes the door.
|
| Grey Matter
|
(sighs) That could've gone better. Wait, I'm trapped! (bangs on door) Is anyone there?!
|
|
|
| Outside storage room
|
| Gwen
|
(spots VNM-3 Specimen, thinking it's Ben) There you are, why are you Grey Matter? I thought you wanted to be an astronaut, not an alien.
|
| Max
|
You're not gonna learn anything if you keep fooling around.
|
| Gwen
|
(stops at a mirror) Woah! It's a mirror panel from a deep space telescope! It's almost as big as you, grandpa.
|
| Max
|
Almost?
|
| Gwen
|
Isn't that cool, Ben?
|
| VNM-3 Specimen blinks slowly in a weird way.
|
| Max
|
Hmm, what's wrong, Ben? You feeling okay?
|
| Gwen
|
Yeah, shouldn't you have timed out by now?
|
|
|
| Back in storage room, Grey Matter is on the doorknob.
|
| Grey Matter
|
Why is this locked?! Are they afraid the mops are going to escape?!
|
| The Omnitrix times out and Grey Matter reverts into Ben.
|
| Ben
|
That thing out there is pretending to be me. (gasps) What if Grandpa and Gwen really think that is me and decide to leave?! Wait, no. They know me better than that. They'll figure it out in no time, they'll come lookin' for me any minute now.
|
|
|
| Back in the main hall, VNM-3 Specimen licks his face and is being weird.
|
| Max
|
This isn't like him.
|
| Gwen
|
What, being gross? That's 100 percent Ben.
|
| Max
|
No, something's definitely off.
|
| Gwen
|
Yeah, he hasn't complained in over five minutes, am I right?
|
| As Gwen crossed her arm, the VNM-3 Specimen mimicked her move.
|
| Gwen
|
What are you doing?
|
| Gwen does more movements, but VNM-3 Specimen continues to mimic Gwen.
|
| Gwen
|
Ben, stop copying me! I knew you were faking it! Grandpa was really worried about you!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen then shapeshifts into Gwen.
|
| Max
|
Now...
|
| Gwen
|
(terrified) Grandpa?
|
| Max
|
Woah! Unless the Omnitrix is showing off a new feature, I don't think that's Ben. (to VNM-3 Specimen) Stay away, whatever you are, what did you do with my grandson?!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen then shapeshifts into Max.
|
| Max
|
Uh, that's not horrifying. (runs away) Nope, nope, nope, nope! Come on Gwen!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen then starts knocking and throwing things over and terrifying people.
|
|
|
| One of the items the VNM-3 Specimen threw hits the storage room and makes a hole on the wall, catching Ben's attention.
|
| Ben
|
Aah! Doesn't sound good out there. (the Omnitrix times back in) Huh, funny, I was just thinking the same thing! It's hero time!
|
| Ben slams the Omnitrix and transforms into Four Arms, then he upgrades into Omni-Enhanced Four Arms. Omni-Enhanced Four Arms punches the door down.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
(looking for VNM-3 Specimen) Alright, you faker! I got four... I mean six fists with your name on 'em. (sees VNM-3 Specimen, thinking that's Max) Huh? Grandpa! There's some crazy shapeshifting goo monster running around!
|
| Gwen
|
Psst, Ben! That is the shapeshifting monster!
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
Grandpa? What are you doing over there? (realizes that's the VNM-3 Specimen) Wait! - You think you can steal the form of my family and get away with it?!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen shapeshifts into Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
You guys get people to safety, I'll take care of "handsome" over here.
|
| Max
|
We're on it.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
I always wanted to see who'd win in a fight with myself!
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms and the VNM-3 Specimen start combatting, the VNM-3 Specimen is reflecting Omni-Enhanced Four Arms' moves, then they clench their upper fists with each other's.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
You might know everything I'm gonna do, but that ain't no good. Because I know everything you're gonna do! How about that?
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen flickers.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
Wait, I can't do that!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen picks up Omni-Enhanced Four Arms and throws him through exhibits until the latter lands on the wall and the people run away from Omni-Enhanced Four Arms.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
Oh, great, now they think I'm the bad one. Huh?
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen jumps at Omni-Enhanced Four Arms and its feet are aiming at Omni-Enhanced Four Arms, but it lands on the ground
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
Whoa!
|
| The fight continues, then Omni-Enhanced Four arms jump on the VNM-3 Specimen, then the latter flips him over jumps on him.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
Okay, so I'm a bit stronger than I thought. So it's time to get serious!
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms weaves his electric sparks from his hands, the VNM-3 Specimen ties to mimic this, but fails.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
Wait, it can't use the shock energy! Aww, yeah, now we're talkin'! Bring it on, faker!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen attempts a jump attack, but Omni-Enhanced Four Arms uses the shock energy to punch it.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
Shock uppercut! - Man, that stuff can take a punch!
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen jumps on Omni-Enhanced Four Arms, while Gwen is guiding the innocent people out of the museum for safety.
|
| Gwen
|
This way! Everybody out! (sees man still standing in museum) Get out of here!
|
| Max
|
I think that's the last of 'em. Let's go see if Ben needs any more of our help.
|
| The real action continues with them punching each other, then the VNM-3 Specimen kicks Omni-Enhanced Four Arms away. They continue the battle - but they both get blasted back when they clench their fists together.
|
| Gwen
|
It's no use! They're like perfect matches in terms of strength!
|
| Omni-Enhanced Four Arms
|
(groans) That's the best you got? I can do this all day! (runs forward, but Omnitrix beeps red) What?! No! I said all day!
|
| The Omnitrix times out and Omni-Enhanced Four Arms reverts into Ben, then he falls close in proximity with the VNM-3 Specimen.
|
| Max
|
Not such a perfect match anymore!
|
| Ben
|
Oh, hey, I don't suppose there's a chance that you can time out as well. (chuckles) Okay, never mind.
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen tries to hit Ben, but the latter retreats, then the VNM-3 Specimen gazes at a mirror, but it flickers in weakness to the mirror, it throws it away and it crashes close in proximity with Ben, making him bounce to Gwen and Max.
|
| Ben
|
Oh, hey guys.
|
| Max
|
It's gonna be tough to stop it now that it's Ben's strongest alien.
|
| Ben
|
Maybe I could've stopped it sooner if I wasn't trapped in that storage closet!
|
| Gwen
|
How were we supposed to know you were in there when Grey Matter was walking around?
|
| Ben
|
I can't believe you guys thought that faker was me, just because it looked like me and copied my every move.
|
| Gwen
|
And now it's wrecking things? Maybe it isn't that smart.
|
| Ben
|
I don't know, maybe it just hates telescopes.
|
| Max
|
Wait, look at what it's been doing.
|
| The VNM-3 Specimen gazes at another piece of glass, then flickers in weakness and wrecks the glass.
|
| Max
|
It's attacking things with its reflection.
|
| Ben
|
It probably just think it's me.
|
| Gwen
|
But it sounds like it's in pain, and it keeps losing control of its shape in front of them before attacking.
|
| Ben
|
Hmmm, wait. (activates the Omnitrix) Let's make those mirrors a little less fragile. (slams the Omnitrix and transforms into Diamondhead then upgrades into Omni-Enhanced Diamondhead offscreen)
|
| Omni-Enhanced Diamondhead
|
Ready for the final round?
|
| Omni-Enhanced Diamondhead morphs his hands into crystal rocks, then clenches them together for the VNM-3 Specimen's eyes and uses it as a mirror rock, then the VNM-3 Specimen reacts to it weakly.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Diamondhead
|
It's working! - Couldn't even take that, huh? Well I'm just getting started.
|
| Omni-Enhanced Diamondhead constructs a crystal mirror, then it weakens the VNM-3 Specimen again, then he constructs another in line with the other crystal mirror and the VNM-3 Specimen is getting weakened more, but then there are four mirrors and the VNM-3 Specimen tries to escape them, but the VNM-3 Specimen then gets weakened and reverts into its purple slime form. The Omnitrix times out and Omni-Enhanced Diamondhead reverts into Ben.
|
| Ben
|
Huh, so that's what it looks like.
|
| Gwen
|
But it looks so harmless.
|
| Remi
|
The specimen, it escaped the lab, astonishing.
|
| Justine
|
Hurry and collect it!
|
| Ben
|
What is that thing?
|
| Remi
|
(captures it with plastic juice cup) I don't know, but that copying thing is awesome.
|
| Justine
|
It must be an accelerated way for it to reach the top of the local food chain.
|
| Ben
|
Wait, it was trying to eat us?
|
| Remi
|
That's one hypothesis, we won't know for sure without more extensive studies, and thanks to you, we now know what sort of stimuli this material responds to, isn't that right, little guy? Let's get you back to the lab.
|
| Justine
|
That was some ingenious thinking back there, using its own reflection to create a mimicry feedback loop, as long as we keep it contained within a reflective enclosure, it should be safe. You know, I think you might have what it takes to become an astronaut after all.
|
| Ben
|
You guys hear that?
|
| Gwen
|
She was right, though. It was a really smart idea. Good job, cousin.
|
| Ben
|
Yeah, but I don't want to rely on my instincts forever. It's like you guys said, I need to know the lame boring stuff just as much as the really cool stuff, even if it means getting good grades.
|
| Gwen and Max
|
(laughs)
|
| Max
|
Wait, are you sure the real Ben isn't in that jar?
|
| Gwen and Max
|
(continues laughing)
|
| Max
|
Oh, I kill me!
