Story
[Small groups of people are nearby a Tv store. They are watching a news channel called The Harangue Nation. The host is none other than Will Harangue himself]

Will Harangue: Welcome to The Harangue Nation. My name is Will Harangue and I bring you all with important news. Just yesterday, our world has been threatened by humanoid aliens known as Oni but for reasons even I don't know, these off-worlders have decided to give the Earth a sporting chance in a game of tag.

[A footage of the game itself in Bellwood where a large number of people are gathered around to witness the tag game. On the middle of the street are Ben Tennyson and Lum Invader. Ben is wearing sports clothing that consists of a white tank top that a green 10 on it and green gym shorts with white stripes]

Will Harangue (Narration): What we have here is the main event that will determine the fate of the world. The green horn haired gal from another planet against the menace Ben Tennyson. I don't know about the rest of you but I say he's in cahoots with the alien invaders. This so-called hero probably set the whole thing up just so he can watch humanity become enslaved by the tiger striped wearing monsters. You may have them all hoodwinked with the good guy act but you can't fool me, Ben Tennyson. I'm onto you. That is all I have to say, folks. Harangue out.

Lum: I've been looking forward to this competition, Ben Tennyson. Before we begin, is there anything you want to say?

Ben: Just these 3 words. It's hero time.

Lum: Not quite what I expected to hear from someone who's about to lose.

Ben: Oh, I don't plan on losing because I got an alien that's going to catch you in the blink of an eye.

[A small U.F.O with black and white stripes comes by. Opening on the top is a tall green head with one eye and lips along with ten big but short tentacles inserting out of the ship. He is the referee who will be overseeing the game]

Unnamed Alien Referee: On your marks. Get set. [He points his blaster up in the sky and fires a laser to signify the start of the game]

Ben: Time to XLR8. [He taps on the Omnitrix dial and selects the XLR8 icon. He then slams on the button very hard to transform. However, rather than become XLR8 as intended, Ben is Walkatrout instead]

Walkatrout: Wait a minute. Walkatrout? What's the matter with you, Omnitrix?

Lum: This is your choice of alien? A Ickthyperambuloid?

Walkatrout: It's not my fault, okay. The watch sometimes gives me the wrong guys.

Lum: How unfortunate for you. There's no way you'll be able to tag me in that form.

Walkatrout: Definitely not but I know one that can. [He attempts to change into another alien]

Unnamed Alien Referee: [He blows his whistle] Secondary transformations are prohibited. Proceeding to do so will result in immediate disqualification.

Walkatrout: You gotta be kidding me. Ooooh. Fine. I'll do this the hard way. [He runs up to Lum who doesn't even move an inch. He reaches her and tries to jump high but he isn't athletic enough to get to Lum's horn]

Lum: [She giggles] Am I too tall for you, little fishy?

Walkatrout: No. [He does 3 unsuccessful jumps before taking a breather] Yes.

Lum: Tell you what, Tennyson. Since I find you so small and feeble, I'm going to let you touch the tip of my horns.

Walkatrout: Really? You'll actually let me win?

Lum: Uh-huh. [She lowers her head for Walkatrout]

Walkatrout: Alright! [He takes the chance to touch the horns but Lum quickly raises her body and floats up into the air before he can do that. He falls on the ground and rubs his face] Hey!

Lum: [She laughs] You should have seen the look on your face. To be so convinced and fall for a simple trick. Gullibility must be a weakness for you.

Walkatrout: Actually, it's a brain freeze from drinking too many smoothies. They always give me a real migraine.

Lum: So, are you ready to surrender?

Walkatrout: Thought about it. Here's my answer. Never.

Lum: [She sighs] Stupid and stubborn at the same time.

Walkatrout: Let's try this again. You come down here and keep your feet on the ground. Got it?

Lum: Sure. [She slowly descends herself to the pavement]

Walkatrout: Here I come. [He runs toward Lum while screaming but something seems to be stopping his movement. It is Lum's boot that is keeping him from running further] Now what's the big idea? Another one of your tricks?

Lum: I'm keeping my feet on the ground like you said. One of my feet that is.

Walkatrout: [Sarcastic] Very funny!

Lum: You really think so?

Walkatrout: No. That was a sarcastic retort. Learn how to figure out a joke, Miss Clueless.

Lum: [Upset] Well, forgive me for my lack of understanding of what you view as humor. [She kicks Walkatrout like if he was a ball]

[Walkatrout bounces a few times before reverting back to Ben]

Ben: Ow! That hurt.

Lum: This is the best the wielder of the Omnitrix can do? I'm truly disappointed.

Ben: Don't count me out just yet. Lum. There's still 9 days left in the game. I got plenty more aliens where that came from and believe me. They won't go easy on you.

Lum: Is that so? I doubt your other forms can offer me a better challenge than the one you just used.

Ben: You only won because of luck. Next time, I'll show you something that's gonna beat your tail.

Lum: But I don't have a tail.

Ben: [Facepalm] Ugh!

Day 2
[Ben turns into Ball Weevil. He spits green goo out from his mouth and forms it into a big ball of plasma. Ball Weevil then runs while moving the ball with him. He approaches Lum as he prepares to jump. He leaps off the ball to get to Lum but she flies away. Ball Weevil hits the ground and the plasma ball explodes covering him in sticky goo]

Day 3
[Ben morphs into Mole-Stache. His hair on his upper lip grows into big hands. They attempt to capture Lum. She flies away with Mole-Stache making chase. The handy moustache surrounds Lum as prepares to grab the Oni. She escapes at the last second when Mole-Stache's moustache hands rub together. This results in both hairs being tied up in a knot]

Day 4
[Ben transforms into Nanomech. Unlike the other aliens, Nanomech is unable to seen due to his smaller size. Lum becomes confused by her opponent's sudden disappearance. Unknown to the Oni girl, Nanomech is flying on the back of her hair. He is about to touch one of her horns before Lum reaches the back of her head and grabs Nanomech. She pulls him away and makes a disgusted expression before tossing Nanomech to the ground and stepping on him. Nanomech was left squashed]

Day 5
[Offscreen, Ben is Ditto. He makes duplicates of himself and they rush after Lum. She playfully tiptoes while levitating off the ground. The Dittos almost reach Lum before she flies off. They all multiply and climb on each other's back to form like a ladder. The Dittos are now high enough to reach Lum. However, Lum floats down to very bottom which confuses all the clones. Once she lands, Lum walks up to the Ditto holding the copies together and tickles him. The others start tilting before losing their balance. All the Dittos tumble and hit the ground with a satisfied Lum floating while dusting her hands]

Day 6
[Ben has become Heatblast offscreen. He rips off a piece of the pavement off the ground and uses it as a surfboard to fly after Lum. The Oni flees with the Pyronite giving chase. Lum sees something and looks back at Heatblast which gives her an idea. She soars to the other side of street with Heatblast following her. She stops near a fire hydrant and waits for the flaming alien to approach her. As soon as he drew near, Lum floats away at the last second letting Heatblast hit the hydrant instead. The rock's impact ends up damaging the fire hydrant's steamer cap. Small drops of water begin leaking out of the outlet before it explodes and releases a large blast of liquid at Heatblast which douses his flames]

Day 7
[Ben is now using one of his smartest aliens Grey Matter. He has built a catapult around his size. He lowers the rope, hops on the bucket and measures the trajectory with his hands before releasing the catapult. Once his calculations were complete, he lets go of the rope to launch himself at Lum. His plan looks like it will work with the distance being far enough to reach the Oni on time. That is until Lum sidesteps out of the way with Grey Matter having a shocked expression on his face. Soon enough, he lands on the ground very painfully]

Day 8
[Next up is Juryrigg. He is carrying a blue backpack vacuum cleaner with him. He takes the vacuum apart and reassembles it into a jetpack. Upon seeing this, Lum flies to the sky and gives her rival the "beckoning finger" gesture. Juryrigg pushes a button to activate the jetback. He ascends into the air and pursues Lum with high speed. Juryrigg is about to approach Lum by the foot right until the latter hovers above a big cloud. He follows and sees that Lum is nowhere to be found. What Juryrigg does spot are a flock of crows coming straight at him. The Gremlin-like alien screams as he's about to collide with the birds. All of the crows rush toward the Planchaküle at once. Afterwards, Juryrigg's clothes were torn and his backpack suffered major damages. To make matters worse, the fuel engine expires resulting in Juryrigg plummeting to his doom]

Day 9
[Last and definitely the least favorite is The Worst. A closeup of his face has him sweating while looking nervous. The camera zooms out revealing him to be inside a cannon as the fuse is about to ignite. Soon enough, The Worst is launched out of the cannon. Lum yawns and floats above the ground to dodge him. The blob-like alien bumps into a light pole. He reverts back into Ben]

Lum: Just as I originally thought. You're all talk and no action. A fool who can't even use his transformations right.

Ben: So not true. I would have already had you if this stupid watch just gave me the exact aliens I wanted.

Lum: Either way, you can't win. Only 1 day remains and nothing you've demonstrated so far with your Omnitrix can catch me by surprise. The Oni armada is minutes away from Earth for its complete domination and neither Earth's military force or your law-enforcement agency would fare well against my people's superior firepower. So, you see, Ben? You and this entire planet have lost. If I were you, I'd drop the useless struggle and give up.

Ben: There's an old saying in my world. It's not over till it's over.

Lum: A glutton for punishment, I see. Still wanting to catch me?

Ben: Tomorrow. Same time. Same place.

Lum: Very well, Ben Tennyson. I'll be glad to beat you in our game again. Oh, and one more thing. [She points her finger close to Ben's forehead and zaps him with a little spark of electricity]

Ben: Ow! You zapped me.

Lum: I know. See ya. [She laughs as she flies off]

[Back at Plumber HQ, Ben is sitting on a chair looking all down. Max and Rook notice and try to get him some help]

Rook: Ben. Is everything alright? You look rather sad.

Ben: Gee, you think? Never have I been so humiliated in my life. Constantly outwitted by a flying alien girl in 9 days straight. That's like a world record for epic fails. Only one more day to go and if I blow it, game over.

Max: No need to beat yourself over it, kiddo. Losses can happen. What's important is that you learn from your failings. After all, you did the best you could.

Ben: And that still wasn't good enough. Don't you see, grandpa? My chances of winning are slim to none. I'm gonna lose the Omnitrix and the Earth will be taken over by the Oni. So many people are depending on me and I'm gonna let them all down.

Max: Enough with the pity party, Ben. I know you're dealing with a lot of pressure but acting like a quitter isn't going to make it any better. What you need is a new strategy. Something that involves beating them at their own game.

Ben: [He is confused at first before he figures out what Max is talking about and smiles] Sounds like you got a plan.

[In Plumber HQ lab were the 2 Galvans Blukic and Driba who are looking around]

Driba: Do you see it, Blukic?

Blukic: Nope. Not a thing.

Driba: Darn! The buy one, get one free Mr. Smoothies coupon we acquired last week has to be here somewhere. Keep checking.

Blukic: We've been searching for hours and still can't seem to find it. We'll never get our costless frozen drinks. I blame you, Driba.

Driba: Me? I'm not the one who misplaced the coupon in an unknown location and forgot about it.

Blukic: Well, you should have written a reminder note just in case this happened but you didn't. Therefore, your fault.

Driba: No, it's not.

Blukic: Yes, it is.

Driba: No, it's not.

Blukic: Yes, it is.

Driba: NO, IT'S NOT!

Blukic: YES, IT IS!

[Blukic and Driba end up butting heads before hearing an ahem which came from Ben. They turn around and see him, Max and Rook in the lab]

Rook: Is there a problem?

Driba: [Awkwardly] Uh, no. Everything is A-okay. This is just us putting our heads together. We do it whenever we're getting along.

Blukic: What he said. We are definitely not arguing about a coupon that someone carelessly lost. [He gets elbowed by Driba]

Max: Right. Listen up. We need your help. Tomorrow's the last day of tag game and if Ben doesn't win, the Earth is gonna be invaded.

Blukic: Invaded? I don't like the sound of that.

Driba: Me neither. How may we be of assistance?

Ben: You can start by unlocking a new alien in the Omnitrix and not just any newbie. It has to be that of an Oni.

Blukic and Driba: Oni? Never heard of them.

Ben: And you two are supposed to be geniuses. They're humanoid, wear tiger-striped cloth and have demonic facial features like fangs and horns. Think you can turn me into one of them?

Driba: Hmmmm. There's no guarantee but it's worth a try. Let us take a look at your Omnitrix so we can begin.

Ben: Okay. [He places his arm with the Omnitrix on the table where Blukic and Driba are standing on. The 2 Galvans come over to inspect it]

Blukic: Alright. Tap on it twice.

[Ben touches the faceplate and activates the dial select hologram. He selects a random alien icon and touches the front cover of the Omnitrix again which pops open the core]

Ben: Now what?

Driba: Now we must bypass the security system and take control over the core that enables your ability to transform.

Blukic: Once we do that, we'll begin the process by altering your DNA through coding.

Ben: So, you're gonna hack into the Omnitrix and change me into different aliens until I turn into the one I want? Sweet! Let's do it.

[Blukic and Driba bring out 2 green cables that resemble RCA connectors. They plug both cables into the slots on the side of the Omnitrix's dial. The chords are linked to a Galvan sized computer. Blukic and Driba get on it and begin typing. The duo successfully overrides the Omnitrix's security system and gains access to its core. Blukic inputs a code into the computer. 3 seconds later, Ben turns into Ampfibian]

Blukic: An Amperi. Wrong one.

[Driba types in another code. Shortly, Amphibian turns into Brainstorm]

Driba: That's a Cerebrocrustacean. Let's try again.

[Blukic types in a different code. Brainstorm turns into Buzzshock]

Blukic: A Nosedeenian? Not it.

[Driba types again. Buzzshock turns into Feedback]

Driba: Conductoid? No.

[Blukic types again. Feedback turns into Frankenstrike]

Blukic: Turned him into a Transylian. That ain't right.

[Driba types a new code. Frankenstrike turns into Shocksquatch]

Driba: Now he's a Gimlinopithecus. Still incorrect.

Shocksquatch: Will you guys quit fooling around? I need Oni DNA and I need it now.

Driba: [Typing] We're trying. Being one of the highly intelligent lifeforms in the galaxy isn't easy, you know.

Blukic: That's right. Professional work of brilliant minds can't be rushed. It may take a while before we can unlock this alien you need.

Shocksquatch: And just how long will that be? Years maybe? The last day of the tag game starts tomorrow. If I don't become a new hero by then, I'm going to lose and the Earth will be taken over by the invaders whose last names are literally Invader.

Driba: We're stressing over the situation as much as you are. There are over a million codes with one of them containing the desired DNA which is why we are running through a series of tests. Now do us a favor and, as your kind would say, chill.

[Driba finishes typing in the code and turns Shocksquatch into Big Chill]

Driba: Oh, butterbiscuits. Not a Necrofriggian.

Big Chill: [Annoyed] Aw, man.

[One hour later. Blukic and Driba are still trying to find a code to turn Ben into an Oni alien]

Rook: It's been an hour and still no results. Do you think they will find the code in time, Magister Max?

Max: At this point, Rook, I'm not so sure.

Blukic: [Typing] This should do it. I think.

[Ben is turned into Clockwork]

Clockwork: Ugh! Don't you have like a manual or something that lists all the stuff?

Blukic: Unfortunately, no. It was lost at some point and haven't been found since. [Looking at Driba] Just like a certain coupon.

Driba: Are you still pinning that on me? We both know it's gone because of your negligence.

Clockwork: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD! KNOCK IT OFF! STOP WASTING EVERYBODY'S TIME AND JUST DO IT ALREADY!

[Both Blukic and Driba look at a ticked off Clockwork for a moment. Realizing that he's being serious, they quickly start typing. On the computer screen are words that say "DNA Unlocked". The Omnitrix symbol glows and Clockwork starts to gradually change. His appearance goes from bulky, golden metal to slim tiger-striped cloth. As he continues to transform, Ben gains green hair, two yellow horns on the top of his head and small but sharp fangs]

Driba: It's working. It's actually working.

[A message with a red circle and a white exclamation mark suddenly pops up on the computer saying, "ERROR CODE: -110"]

Blukic: That can't be good.

[Small sparks emit from the Omnitrix before shortly increasing into a large surge of electricity that ends up shocking Ben as he screams in pain]

Max: BEN!

Rook: BLUKIC! DRIBA! SHUT IT OFF! NOW!

Blukic: [Typing] On it.

[Blukic shuts down the DNA altering process. The transformation sequence reverses itself which has Ben revert back to normal. He drops to the floor harmed from the shock. Max, Rook, Blukic and Driba run toward him]

Max: BEN! BEN! SPEAK TO ME! ARE YOU OKAY!?

Ben: If almost being turned to fried chicken because of a failed science experiment qualifies, I say I've never felt better.

Rook: I don't understand. You were evolving into the new alien just a second ago before a system overload occurred. What could have gone wrong?

Driba: It was an error code in the computer that linked into to Ben's Omnitrix as he was transforming. The malfunction caused it to go haywire and nearly electrocuted him to death. Definitely a major bug that needs some fixing.

Blukic: My thoughts exactly.

Ben: No way. You two lamebrains have done enough damage for one day. The last thing I need is another accident that will cost me my life. I got a better idea on how to get Oni DNA for the game tomorrow.

Max: And what exactly is this plan that you have in mind, Ben?

Ben: It's simple, grandpa. If you can't beat em', join em'.
