Ben's parents were driving.
"He's such a good boy." said Ben's mom
"Ben Tennyson is not a good boy. He's a great boy. I don't know if it's bad karma to pat ourselves on the back, Sandra, but we've done a pretty good job as parents. And we are doing a good job watching Star as well." said Carl
"Well, we haven't stifled them. Allowing a child to explore the wholeness of his of her entire being -" Then there was an explosion. Sandra hit the breaks to avoid the explosion. They got out of the car and as the smocked cleared they saw a Highbreed. The Highbreed was hit by purple energy orbs. That were shot by Gwen. Kevin was near Gwen. Ben's parents started to run away. As the were run away they noticed a boy and a girl run towards the Highbreed.
"Hey, kids! You're going the wrong..." said Carl. Then they noticed the kids were Ben and Star. "Ben? Star?" They started to run after them.
"Ben! Star!" said Sandra
"Stop!"
"Wait!"
They stopped as a rock landed in front of them and backed away a little and hide behind a corner. Star took out her wand and Ben activated the omnitrix and hit it. "Swmpfire!"
"Ben?"
The Highbreed got closer to Kevin and Gwen. "I grow weary of your pathetic human interference." said the Highbreed. He pulled out a light pole. Star blasted the pole so when the Highbreed tried to use it to hit Kevin and Gwen. The Highbreed looked back as Ben jumped kicked the Highbreed. Sending him to the ground.
"You guys okay?" asked Ben
behind the corner.
"That's... Ben?" said Carle in surprise
back with the group.
"Nice to see you two. You working flex hours now." said Kevin
behind the corner.
"Ben, Star, look out!" said Sandra
with the group
The Highbreed ran up and hit Ben and laughed him.
behind the corner.
"Ben!"
with the group.
"No final words, Tennyson? Still reeling from the augmented power of my new form, no doubt." said the Highbreed as he was about to steep on Ben.
"If you're saying you're uglier, you get no argument here." said Kevin
The Highbreed turned around. "I defeated Tennyson. What chance has the likes of you?"
"Me? Not much. But her..." Kevin pointed to Star with a mad look. Star's wand was glowing bright. Then she blasted the Highbreed with a load of bricks from her wand that buried him. The Highbreed jumped out of the rumble and started fly.
"You've already wasted far too much of my valuable time. I'll deal with you at my leisure." Then the Highbreed flew away.
"Ben!" said Star as she ran to Ben.
"Kevin! Ben's still down." said Gwen. Then Gwen and Kevin started to head towards Ben. Ben turned back to normal. Ben got up and Kevin started to laugh as he saw that Ben got a black eye and Star gasped when she noticed it.
"Oh, Man!" said Kevin
"What?" asked Ben
"That Highbreed gave you a black eye. I like him better already." When Star heard Kevin said that she elbowed him in his side.
"Ben, are you alight?" asked Star as she went closer to Ben after she elbowed Kevin.
"I'm fine. I just want to know where the Highbreed went and what he's up to." said Ben
"That way." said Gwen as she pointed.
"The waterfront."
"And he looked like a man on a mission."
"We'll meet at the wharf after dinner and homework."
"Should I floss, too?" asked Kevin
"Your parents are gonna freak out when they see that eye. How are you going to explain it?" asked Star
"Not to worry. My folks believe anything I tell them. I got this covered." said Ben
Ben and Star made there way back home.
"Me and Star are home!" said Ben
"What's for dinner?" asked Star
Both of Ben's parents were standing there at the front door.
"Sup."
"Where have you been, young man?" asked Sandra
"Me and Star were at the movies. I know I should have told you. Sorry, I -"
Sandra gasped as she noticed Ben's eye. "Carl, look at his eye!"
"That's quite a shiner." said Carl
"If that was another three inches higher, you could have put your eye out!"
"Fine! I admit it. I got in a l-little fight. It's no big deal. There was this jerk at school, and..." said Ben
"Ben, are you sure it was a kid at school and not a giant alien creature?" said Carl
Ben and Star were a little shocked. "I think they might be on to us." whispered Star
"I can't believe it. You two look us straight in the eye and lie to us over and over again. We saw you, Ben and Star! We saw you Ben turn into that thing! And you were there too Star. You fired some blasts as well." said Sandra
"No!"
"You just think you saw." said Ben. Then Carl garbed Ben's hand and pointed to the omnitrix. "I can explain."
"Really? Both of you?" asked Sandra
"N-not so much, no." some time passed as Ben and Star took a seat on the couch and started to explain. "...Which allows me to access the genetic code of various extraterrestrial forms in order to battle the DNAliens, who will stop at nothing in their quest to take over the earth!"
"And this become your job when, exactly?" asked Carl
"Five years ago. Grandpa Max said we each have a responsibility to -"
"Oh, of course! Dad. I should have known. That's so typical!"
"He was more than just a Plumber. He -"
"...Lied to us! Your uncle Frank and I knew he had some other life -we knew - and that he lied to us about it all the time! I won't have you lying, too!" Ben stayed quite.
"For me I got my families wand when I turned 14 and was sent her to train with it. I soon decided to join Ben and help him." said Star
"It's our own fault. We were too permissive. And what did we get? A 15-year-old son needlessly risking his life." said Sandra
"Not needlessly, mom. It has to be me. The omnitrix is attached to me. It doesn't come off." said Ben
"Oh, it's coming off, all right." said Carl. They went somewhere and Carly tried to cut of the omnitrix using some of his sawblades and trimmers. "Okay, it's not coming off."
"I tried to tell you."
"Not a scratch!"
"Sorry about your saw blades. In any case, you're forbidden from using the omnitrix. Understand?"
"But, dad, all humanity is counting -"
"Understand?"
With Star and Sandra.
"We will let you keep your wand as long as you only use it for training. No using it willy nelly." said Sandra
"That's what I only use the want for." said Star Sandra started at Star. "Except when I was helping Ben fight the DNAliens."
Star soon entered the room Ben was in after Carl left. Ben's phone started to vibrate. Ben picked it up. "This is not a good time, okay?"
With Kevin and Gwen
"Uh, he said he'd call back." said Kevin as Gwen was working on the computer.
"Look at this. The logbooks show all these freighters as frequent visitors bringing in good and shipping out local products." said Gwen
"So?"
"So, this ship, the Eustacia Vye, is an unregistered tanker from the tiny island of Castoon."
"Where they used to do nuclear testing." Gwen just looked at him. "It was on the historical channel."
"What would Bellwood be importing from Castoon? And if it is connected to the Highbreed, what would the aliens want with it?"
"Ask them." Kevin said as he noticed DNAliens. Gwen turned and saw the DNAliens as well. The DNAliens started to charge as Kevin absorbed the stone floor. Kevin started to punch the DNAliens as Gwen fired blasts DNAliens.
Ben and Star were in Star's room Ben was laying on the floor as Star was on her bed reading her spell her spell book with the help of Glossaryck. Then Ben's phone started to ring. Ben picked it up. "Yeah?" asked Ben
"Uh, hate to bother you, but we got a problem!" said Kevin as he and Gwen continued to fight the DNAliens.
"You've got problems? My parents found about the omnitrix. I'm not allowed to use it and Star limited with her wand."
"Folks mad at the both of you, huh? Sound rough. By the way, we're getting it handed to us by the DNAliens!"
"Okay. We're coming." Ben hanged up the phone as Star closed her spell book. The headed down stairs. "Me and Star have to go help Gwen with an after-school project."
"And it's homework?" asked Sandra
"Yeah. We promised." said Star
"Okay. Since you two promised." Ben and Star started to leave the house. "But back by 10:00." Ben closed the door. Both Ben and Star started to run. They went to the side of the garage. Ben activated the omnitrix and hit it.
"Echo Echo!" said Ben. Then they were hit by a bright light. They looked and saw Ben's parents.
"Oh, man!" said Ben and Star
"Do you two really think we're that gullible? We were teenagers once, too, you know." said Sandra
"I really don't know what to say." said Carl
"Well, I do. Benjamin Tennyson and Star Butterfly, you two at grounded!"
"What?" said Ben and Star
"You can't ground me! I'm a superpowered alien!"
"You're a superpowered alien who's about five minutes from forcing me to reconsider a lifelong disbelief in corporal punishment." said Sandra
"Up the stairs, young man!" said Carl
Ben walked back to his room mumbling on the way. Star tried to sneak away.
"And where do you think your young lady?" asked Sandra
"No ware!" said Star nervously
"I think your room is that way."
"Your not going to tell my mom?"
"I don't know yet."
Star then made her way to her room as well.
In Ben's room. He's cellphone started to ring. Ben answered it.
"Hello?" asked Ben
"Where are you?! We have a little situation here!" said Gwen as she and Kevin were running from DNAliens.
"And a lot of DNAliens." said Kevin
"Okay. Aim the phone at them." said Ben. Gwen then aimed at the DNaliens. Then Ben shrieks into the phone. The sound waves hit the DNAliens. Then Sandra took the phone away from Ben.
"Who is this?" asked Sandra
Gwen hanged up the phone. "Lately, it seems like Ben's just phoning it in."
Star was asked into Ben's room so she was there as well. Sandra put Ben's and Star's phones into her purse.
"That's my phone!" said Ben
"A cellphone is a privilege, not a right. You'll get it back when you've proven we can trust you." said Carl
"Ben, Star, are you two hanging out with a bad crowd?"
"What?!" said Ben
"No!" added Star
"Are they telling you it's "cool" to sneak out, turn into aliens, lie to your parents?" said Carl
"I want to know who this bad influence is. Their parents need to know what's going on. Who?" asked Sandra
"It's a sacred trust." said Star
"We cannot divulge that information." said Ben
"Never, never, never!" said Ben and Star
Sandra just stared and both Ben and Star. Then Ben broke.
The next night. Ben and Star were staring into Ben's computer. Then the phone ring. Ben pressed the button and but it on speaker phone so Star could hear. "Hello?" said Ben
"You ratted me out?!" said Gwen
"I can explain!"
"What's explain? My parents read me the riot act when I got home last night. "How dare you help Ben and Star deceive your aunt and uncle, young lady?" Why did you tell them? You've gone nose to nose with Vilgax without blinking!"
"Vilgax never gave me the mom look. Sorry."
"I have to agree with Ben. His mom can get scary at time. But my mom is even scarier." said Star
"You're sorry, and I'm grounded - stuck here in the house instead of finding out what the Highbreed wants with that freighter." said Gwen as she looked up stuff on her computer.
"Don't worry. Kevin's on it. He's going to check it out tonight." said Ben
"Wait? You sent Kevin." said Star
"Bye Gwen. We've got to go." Ben hanged up the phone.
With Kevin. He was sneaking around the freighter. Kevin found him self in a strange room. "Ugh, what stinks in here?" said Kevin noticing a stinking smell. He looked as saw a strange liquid. "I guess that's for Gwen to find out." Kevin took out a container and tried to get a sample. But he fell in. "It smells even worse up close." Kevin tried to get out.
At Ben's house.
Ben, Star and Ben's parents were eating dinner. The phone started to ring Ben got up and picked it up. "Hello? Tennyson residence. This isn't a good time, Kevin." Ben whisper that
"You're telling me. I'm up to my nose in smelly goo, trapped in a vat, and DNAliens are coming!" said Kevin
Ben just waved at his parents. "I'm conferencing Gwen in." Ben then pressed a button on the phone.
Gwen's phone started to ring and she picked it up. "Hello?"
"I can't get a grip on the wall. Uh-oh. Company." said Kevin
"Kevin? Is that you?"
"Absorb something and bust out of the tank." said Ben
"Absorb what? Stink?" Asked Kevin
"What's your phone made of?"
"Titanium. Why?" Kevin relived. "Oh."
"Ben, you're on punishment! Get off the phone." said Carl
"One minute, dad." said Ben
"Guys, I think I know what Kevin's swimming in. According to wifipedia, Castoon has only one export -bat guano."
Kevin made a hole into tank and exited it. "What is guano?" asked Kevin
"Evidently, the berries on the island are radioactive from the nuke testing years ago. When they're eating by the bats, the resulting waste is the rarest isotope in the world."
"Ugh!"
"Ben?" said Carl
"One minute." said Ben
"The radiation is mild, however, it would take a lot of it to constitute a threat." said Gwen
"Gwen, how much can that freighter carry?"
"50,000 tons."
"Guys, I could use a little help." said Kevin
Then Sandra took the phone and hanged it up.
""No phone" means "no phone"! Go to your room." said Sandra
"I can't believe this is happening!" said Ben as he walked to his room.
"I can be excused?" asked Star
Sandra nodded and Star followed Ben to his room.
They entered Ben's room and Ben's computer started to beep. Ben and Star walked to it Ben took a seat and hit a few buttons. Then Kevin showed up on the computer. "Oh, hey. You found a wireless network." said Ben
"Yeah. That is the good news. The bad news..." said Kevin. Then he showed some DNAliens chasing him. "They're not happy about it."
"Ladder ahead on your right. Climb it. Okay, the hatch on your left - go through it and hug the wall. Now just hang there for a second till they pass. Back through and shut the hatch."
"I get it. I get. You got a real future as a personal-navigation device, Tennyson. Why don't - Whoops. Here come some more."
"There's a crane hook right there."
"What about it?"
"Grab it, then kick the green button!"
Kevin was flung around. "Okay. That was pretty cool. I should roll solo more often."
"Whatever." said Star
"Just get out of there, and we'll -" said Ben as Ben Star were shocked from what they saw.
"What's wrong?" asked Kevin
"Kevin don't panic. Everything will be okay. Just -"
Then Kevin was grabbed by a Highbreed.
"Nice to see you again, Vermin." said the Highbreed
"Ben, Star, a little help here." said Kevin
Then the computer turned off. Ben and Star turned around and saw Ben's parents and Carl was holding the computers plug.
"Dad, no!" said Ben
"Oh, don't you "no" me, Ben Tennyson! You have defied us for the last time."
"You've got to listen! Our friend is in trouble!" said Star
"Yeah, we've got to go help him!" said Ben
"I don't want to hear another word. You and Star are not leaving your rooms. You two are not calling anyone, you are not I.M.'ing anyone, you are not texting anyone, you are not myfacing anyone." said Sandra
"Myfacing?" asked both Ben and Star
"You two will sit in your rooms alone until we tell you otherwise! Understood?" said Carl
"You don't understand." said Star
"Yeah! This is a matter of life and death!" said Ben
"They only life we're concerned about are your two. You two are staying in you're rooms." said Carl
Ben and Star looked out the window.
"Don't look out there. Look at us." said Sandra
"I'm sorry. I love you guys. You're awesome parents. You raised me by example. And time after time, I've seen you put other people's need first. I can't obey you now without disobeying everything you've ever taught me about life, about life, the world, and responsibility." said Ben as he reached for the omnitrix.
"Ben, we forbid you to -"
"So, when I get back, punish me however you want. But right now, I have a friend who's in trouble." Ben activate the omnitrix and hit it. "Humongousar!" Ben pushed down the wall and jumped down. "Sorry!"
"Wait for me Ben!" said Star as she jumped on to Ben. "I'll fix that later!" Then Ben started to run to were Kevin is and telling Star what Gwen said on the phone.
"They just walked out on us. What are we gonna do?" asked Sandra
"We're going to listen to our son." said Carl
Ben pulled up on the tanker. Star got down of off Ben. Star started to blast some of the DNAliens. Ben started to swing his tail hitting the DNAliens. "You guys picked the wrong Humongousaur to gang up on. I'm having a bad night." Ben and Star headed inside.
Kevin was being held captive. The Highbreed was watching over him.
"This stinks." said Kevin
"You are not the first to taste defeat at our hands, nor will you be the last." said the Highbreed
"No. I mean the bat poop. I can't believe you eat that stuff." said Kevin
"We do not eat it, human."
"Sure you do. What else would you do with it?"
"Tennyson has trained you well, but your pathetic attempt to learn our plans succeeded only in reminding me of the need to dispose of you." The Highbreed grabbed Kevin and was about to attack him. Then he was hit by a DNAlien.
"Oh, that one was little high and inside." said Ben
"It looked good to me." said Star
"I thought you two got sent to your room without supper." said Kevin
Ben grabbed Kevin. "Enjoy use while you can." said Star
"Yeah, we are gonna be grounded for the rest of high school." said Ben as he broke the thing holding Kevin.
"I was just getting him to spill his guts about his plans for the bat poop." said Kevin
"The DNAliens down there are rendering it, removing the impurities until they're left with a highly volatile isotope, suitable for use as a power source."
"You figured all that out by yourself?"
"Gwen did." said Star
"The question is - power source for what?" asked Ben
"Its' a surprised. The final surprised for the human race! Destroy them!" ordered the Highbreed
The DNAliens started to head towards them. Kevin stared to absorbed the rail.
"Hold on. Try the cable." said Star as she pull up the cable.
"Cool." said Kevin as he absorbed the cable.
Ben and Kevin started to pound DNAliens with each tacking a side of the walkway. Star was blasting the DNAliens taking out from both sides of the walkways. Some of the DNAlien were thrown off the walkway. Then a DNAlien was thrown at Ben. Ben looked and saw the Highbreed. The Highbreed gestured at Ben to come at him. "Star, Kevin, handle the rest." said Ben
"Do your thing." said Kevin
"We got this." said Star
Ben jumped down of the walkway. The Highbreed soon punched Ben. Ben was send into container.
"Might want to put a little size on." said Kevin
"No...room...in here." said Ben
"You look fatigued, vermin. Let me help put to the rest, permanently." said the Highbreed as he started to hit Ben repeatedly.
"Ben!" said Star as she switched from firing magical blasts and punching and kicking DNAliens. Kevin was being overrun by DNAliens.
"Congratulations. That was almost exercise." said the Highbreed. Ben smiled as he removed himself from the container. The constants spilled onto the Highbreed. Ben walked to the Highbreed. The Highbreed grabbed Ben by the throat and tossed him into a door. The Highbreed walked up to and held Ben down. "Goodbye, Ben Tennyson."
The door opened. Then a blast came out of the open door and knocked the Highbreed off Ben. It was reviled it was Ben's parents with Carl holding a weapon.
"Good shot, honey." said Sandra
"Like my dad always said - the right tool for the right job." said Carl
"Ben, are you okay?"
"Mom, dad - am I glad to see you. I mean, I'm always glad to see you, but..." said Ben
"Uh, excuse me." said Kevin as he and Star was piled on by DNAliens. With Kevin at the bottom of the pile and Star being near the top.
"You're his ruffian friend, right?" asked Sandra
"I got it covered, dear." said Carla s he pointed the blaster at them.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" said Star and Kevin. Then the DNAliens ran way at the sight of the blaster pointed at them.
"Thanks." said Star
"Uh, nice piece, by the way." said Kevin
"Yeah, dad. Where did you get that?" asked Ben
"What? This old thing? It's been sitting in the attic ever since Frank and I were kids. Always hated it." said Carl
"Are you okay, Ben?" asked Sandra
"Fine, mom. I'm sorry I just blew you of like that." said Ben
Star and Kevin made there way down from the walkway and meet up with Ben and his parents. "I'm sorry too." said Star
"Well I'm not. I mean, it's actually kind of cool that you showed up when you did." said Kevin
"It was very cool. We're proud of both of you. Your friend was in danger. You two had to help him." said Sandra
"His friend? You heard that monster, honey. The whole world was in danger! Ben and Star saved it." said Carl
"I helped." said Kevin
"The point is, we've seen you both in action. We know what you two are capable of. Clearly, you two know what you're doing."
"Ben, you would have found a way to win even if your father hadn't shot the giant alien with the space bazooka." said Sandra
The Highbreed started to walk towards them. Star got in front of Ben. "I will not let you harm my, boyfriend!" said Star as she aimed her wand at the Highbreed. "Turbo Nuclear Butterfly Blast!" Star send out a powerful blast at the Highbreed sending him flying into the device that was making the isotope.
"What did Star mean about boyfriend?"
"Me and Star have been dating for a few months now." said Ben
"Why didn't you tell us."
"Can we talk about this later?" asked Star
They soon got off the tanker and later was sunk. Kevin came out of the water. "Okay, I sunk it." said Kevin
"Hey,what about the Highbreed? You were supposed to drag him off the ship before you scuttled it." said Ben
"Was I? Must have slipped my mind. Kidding! He was gone I got back."
"You're right, mom - he's a ruffian."
Once they got back home. Sandra got her camera and started to take some pictures of both Ben and Star together.
"Mom, I think you took enough pictures." said Ben a little embarrassed
"I agree with Ben." said Star also kind of embarrassed
"I just want a few photos of you two as a couple. You two just make a cute couple." said Sandra as she took another picture. "Star do you parents know about you and Ben?"
"No. Not yet."
Ben saw his dad take down a dream catcher and put up the gun he used.
"I thought you hated that thing." said Ben
"Yeah. I used to hate all that Plumber stuff. It reminded me of the secret life your grandpa Max hid from us. But now I understand, he was only protecting us." said Carl
Then Ben and Star's phones started to ring. Sandra opened her purse and pulled out there phones. "Ben it's your cousin." said Sandra as she held out there phones. They each took there phone and picked it up there phone.
"What's up?" asked Ben
They heard what Gwen said. "Okay." said Star
"Have to call you back." said Ben. The both Ben and Star hanged up their phones. "So, there's been an alien sighting in the desert that -"
"Then what are you two waiting for?" said Carl
"It's cold in the desert at night! Take a jacket!" said Sandra
Both Ben and star left the house and started to run to the desert.
