Ben 10 Ultimate Summer EP 34: Cutting Corners
Intro:
A green glowing, steel pod was flying through space, hurtling towards earth as it crashes, making a huge green flash.
The camera zooms out from the glowing symbol on the Ultimatrix as Ben looks up close at it.
He then activates it while smirking at the camera, raising his hand high and slapping it down on the core.
The background turns all green as Ben morphs into Four Arms, who pumps his upper fists while cracking his lower ones with a smirk.
A white number appears on the left side, starting at 1.
"Ben 10!"
2: Heatblast ignites 2 fire balls in his hands.
"Ben 10!"
3: XLR8 zooms into the right.
4: Diamondhead swaps his right arm across as it turns into a blade.
"Ben 10!"
5: Cannonbolt uncurls and poses.
"Ben 10!"
"Ben 10!"
6: Upgrade stretches out of his puddle form.
7: Grey Matter hops off the 7 and lands into a crouch, giving a thumbs up and a smile.
"Ben 10!"
8: Water Hazard slides in on his water blasts and raises his fists up.
"Ben 10!"
9: Wildvine extends his legs and stretches out his right fingers while holding seeds in his left one, chucking them offscreen.
10: Big Chill phases through the number and floats briefly before zooming near the camera.
"Ben 10!"
Big Chill's head turns back into Ben's as it rotates.
The camera zooms out to reveal Max and Gwen by his side.
Ben gave a low-five as his grandfather as Gwen crosses her arm and shakes her head playfully with a smile.
The 2 then ran off-screen, making Ben run towards the camera with a determined look.
He then froze as his aliens appear in heroic poses on each of the kid's sides, 5 on each side. Just as the title appears in a black background with green rays appearing from the title.
At a beautiful park, Ben was begging his cousin as they exit the Rust Bucket. "Come on, Gwen. Please?!" "I said no!" "I just need 25 bucks!" "Look, I would love to help you get…. What is it again?" "The new Overwatch Game! I head it's the best online multiplayer game around and it's about heroes! How cool is that?!" Gwen sighs out, unaware of her cousin daydreaming. "Sorry, Ben. But… Ben? Ben. Ben! BEN!" She punches his shoulder and continues as the boy snaps out of it and rubs her shoulder in discomfort. "I'm saving up for a new laptop. And we blew most of our winnings from the tournament already!"
Max chuckles as he exits with a picnic basket. "Ah... I love a good picnic! I think we picked a good spot!" Ben smiles as walks up. "Me too, Grandpa! So, uhh… Can we talk about a loan of 25 dollars?" "Oh, for all the hard work you do on your half of the Rust Bucket?" Max motions to a dirty part of the RV. "Sorry, Ben. No work, no money." Max walks off with his cousin as Ben got sad. "I'm never going to get the game. And all I've got is 35 bucks." Ben groans out as he feels like he's never going to get in on the cool game action that's been all over the web.
"Hey." He turns around to see an old groundskeeper talking to him. "I can't help but overhear your dilemma. You need some pocket money, youngster? Just so happen I need some help around the grounds today." Ben smiles at the opportunity for some quick cash.
They both walks to an old shed with a sign that says: 'Geezer Bob's Grounds keeper'. "So… people really call you Geezer Bob?" "YEP! Ever since high school! But now I'm getting long in the tooth for the grass cutting around here. I'll pay you an honest wage for an honest day's work." Ben grins as he asked. "Would 25 bucks be an honest wage?" "Fair enough." Ben fist pumps in joy. "YES! Then I'm glade to help!" The boy feels like his day is turning around. All he got to do is mows a couple of lawns and it's game time!
Bob opens the door up to reveal a junky mower. "This here is Frank." Ben looks in confusion at the piece of junk and comments. "That thing still runs? Wouldn't scissors be faster?" "Needs a little TLC, but it will totally do the trick!" As Bob continues, Ben realizes that it's going to take all day to mow with this broken-down mower. As he glances at the watch, he gets an idea. He realizes that he could just use Upgrade to enhance the mower to not only fix it, but also get the job done faster, get pay quicker and start playing the new game all before Lunch.
"Okay, Bob! I'll get right on it! One cut lawn, coming up!" Ben closes the door as Bob questions. "Wait. I just want to know that if you herd me about that thing! You did hear me about the goblin thing, right? Goblins in the park. They're real mean! And if you run into their territory, the damage is done in your hands!"
Inside the shack, Ben ignores the old man as he smirks at the lawn mower. "I'm going to get this done so fast, I'll spend the entire picnic, blasting players all over the world from the comfort of my side of the RV!" The boy grins out as he dials the glove towards Upgrade and slaps down on the device. FLASH
Upgrade's goop flew from the watch and spins around the boy, engulfing him as his right hand morphed into the tech alien's while the left does the same. His neck stretched out as his eye ring shines, posing as the transformation is complete.
"Time to get turbo-charged!" He merges with the mower, repairing it and upgrading it with rocket boosters and sharper blades. He zooms out of the shed and start mowing the grass. "HAHAHAHA! WHOOO-OOOH! This is easier then I thought!" He keeps cutting the grass, driving and power sliding like in a video game and gets the job done at a blazing speed. "Well, that boy managed to get things right. As long as he stays out of that certain forest." Bob comments as he watches. The alien was about to drive past him, making him call out. "HEY, KID! All you have left is the grass by the picnic area and you'll be done!" "THANKS! Sweet! I'm almost done! Then it's pay day!" Upgrade steps on the gas, zooming away.
Gwen and Max were setting up a table. "Well, it's nice to eat lunch out in beautiful nature!" "I agree! Although, it's kind of weird that my cousin is skipping lunch to work." "Well, I'm proud of him! He's working for his own money instead of borrowing it off someone else." "HI GWEN! HI GRANDPA! BYE!" Upgrade calls out as he rushes past and cuts the grass. "Oh, hi Upgrade. Anyway—UPGRADE?!" Gwen exclaims in shock as she see the alien mowing away the grass. "Ben…" Max groans out with a frown. "I should have known my cousin used the watch for this." Gwen deadpans as she bites in her food.
"Only got a small patch left and it's game time!" As Upgrade races to it, he accidentally bumps into a rock and swerves out of control! "WHOA! Going out of control here!" He dashes through a bush into a forest area, swerving around a tree to a stop. "WHEW! That was close! I guess I should head back and—" Some pointed sticks were thrown at him, bouncing off as the alien was confused. "What the?!" He saw some small figure retreating behind a tree. "HEY! Get back here!"
But when he turn the corner, he was shocked at what he is seeing. "WHOA!" A bunch of small, gray-skinned characters wearing medieval clothing were being angry as they yelled in gibberish as they throws more stick at him. Upgrade quickly backs up and starts driving away, but more of the small thing keeps popping out of the woods, making him turn.
Things got worse when they brought out catapults, fling hard rocks at him. "WHOA! YEP! OH, BOY!" He quickly made it out, by the monsters kept chasing. "Sorry about this, Frank!" He ditches the Mower as it slid to stop, shutting down as the things kept running for him. "Why didn't Bob warned me about evil garden gnomes in the park!? Got to slow them down!" He quickly turns and fire his eye bream, making a wall of laser that stops the creatures as they backed away, giving Upgrade a chance to get ahead as he alos times out as well. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH. "GEEZER BOB!"
The man was whistling while carving a wood, enjoying the rest and peacefulness. But he herd some noises and saw Ben being chased by the things. "Oh, no." Ben trips over another rock and falls down as Bob moves in front of him. The beings crowd around as they complained in their language. Ben stood up as he dusts himself off. "You all right, sonny?" "What are these things?!" "I call them 'Billy-Bob Goblins'. Sometimes, Boblings! And… they're neighbors." Ben looks in worriment as the Boblings wield axes and other weapons as they argue and yell. "Are they always this angry?" "I didn't say they were good neighbors." Bob responds.
Just then, they stopped as some move aside, revealing a big Bobling with a cape and acorn on it's head as it speaks. "Who's this guy?" "That's there king. These nasty critters are very protective of their territory. I tried to warn you, but you were in such a gosh darn hurry!" Ben sheepish scratches his neck in embarrassment. "Anyway, I know how to calm them down. Just let me do the talking." Bob went to talk to the king as Ben hits his head. "Way to go, dude! You just made a race of goblins angry and now you lost your chance to make extra cash! Could this get any worse?"
Just then, another Bobling runs up to the king with a panicked look, telling him something that made his eyes widened in shock. Bob was shocked as well. "Oh, no! He's at it again." "Who's at it again?!" Ben ask out as the king points at the forest as he cries out. A bunch of other Boblings stomped out with catapults and weapons as a huge one emerges as well. He was wearing barbarian warrior clothing and carries a double-bladed axe. He has some scars on his arms and face with red eyes. He was muscular and reaches up to Ben's height. He roars out as the others followed as well.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Ben cries out with bulging eyes! "That's their most fearsome, biggest and loyalist warrior! But he also the shortest tempered, most aggressive one of all! He gets so worked up over every little detail when something goes wrong for them! He has a nasty habit of disobeying the king and attacking the Humans from time to time! Last time we calmed him down, he almost destroyed the park and a nearby city!" Bob answered.
Ben sighs out in dismay. "And the problems just keep on rolling, folks." The giant Bobling orders his men to fire, making them launched spears and rock at the human. They all saw and quickly ran and scattered as the weapons destroyed the tables and foods along with other items.
Ben, Bob and the king all ran up and looks at the chaos from a hilltop, seeing the rouge Boblings wrecks thing while scaring people off. Ben saw his family up a tree as they hang onto branches. "They're destroying the park! King! You're their leader! Can't you talk to them?!" The king responds while shaking his head as Bob translates. "He said he can't! They won't listen to him when there all rallied up! We need to stop them, or the world is in danger!" Ben saw his recharged watch and smiles. "World in danger? That's my kind of job! Going hero!" FLASH
Big Chill notices the 2 weren't surprised at all. "This doesn't weird you 2 out at all?" They both shrug in response. "Yeah, didn't think so." He unfolds his wings and lifts Geezer Bob up while the King hangs onto his back. As Big Chill flies with the 2, Bob yells something at the rouge Boblings, making them angry and chased after them. "Hey! It works! What did you say to them?" "I just keep hitting them with 'your mama jokes'! Billy-Bob Goblins are very touchy about there mamas! No offense, your highness." The king made a 'forget about it' gesture to Geezer Bob.
He kept flying as Bob keeps insulting them. They fly up high as they look at the huge group. "Think that's all of them! Now for the final touch!" Big Chill breathes a huge gust of ice, freezing them in their tracks. They all land as Big Chill comments. "How do you like me now?!" "I think you got all of them." Bob comments. Big Chill turns to the King. "Don't worry, kingey! Just get them near a fire and they'll be okay." "ROAAAAAARRR!" They all look back to the giant Bobling as he shakes the ice off as he glares with anger while wielding his axe.
BEEP BEEP BEEP "NO! NOT YET!" FLASH "Uh oh." Ben mumbles out as the king and Bob steps aside. "You might want to start running." The old man comments as the big monster charges at him while raising his axe. "AAAHHH!" Ben dodges the swing as the blade was lodged in the ground. The big guy ignores it and chases after the boy. "COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!" He tries to transform but gets a dying beep every time. Ben then trips over yet another rock. "SERIOUSLY?!" Falling down, he accidentally head butts the Ultimatrix, turning into Wildvine.
"Well… That was graceful." He quickly stands up and saw the giant Bobling leaping at him. Thinking quickly, he unleashes his vines and covers him from head to toe. He holds the beast up as it manages to broke free. It charges at Wildvine, but the plant threw his seed bombs that exploded into knock-out gas that sent the being into dreamland. "AW, YEAH! Who's bad now!?" "Nice work son!" "AAAAHHH! Don't sneak up on me, man!" The plant told the groundskeeper. "Sorry! But now that there all rounded up, what do we do?" "I think I have an idea. Hey, you majesty! Can you round up your people into the forest?" The king nods in response to the plant alien.
Later, Wildvine was standing in front of the forest as Bob, Gwen and Max were with him as the Bobling King was in the woods. "Okay! Here goes nothing!" He stabs his legs and arms into the ground, focusing his powers as a giant wall of vines sprouts around the forest, blocking off it from the rest of the park. The king went up and tested them, finding them hard and durable and nods to his approval.
Wildvine retracts his tendrils as he breaths out. "Whew! Well… it's not a brick wall, but it will hold up! And will give the little dudes there privacy." He comments. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH "Well, I'm glade that's done with! Now... about the fee…" Ben expects for 25 dollars to be places in his hand, only for Bob to chuckle. "Now hold on, son. You need to finish the job. But don't worry, you only have a small patch of grass to go." He points his thumb at a patch of grass that goes from a tree to an end that requires 2 goes. Ben looks in wide, exhausted eyes at more work, even after all the chaos.
Ben was pushing Frank as he managed to complete one go. But was sweating as the others watch. "Now, come on sonny! You only have one more left!" "YEAH! But don't worry about lunch! I saved a small piece of pie for you!" Gwen adds out They laugh as Ben groans at the work, hoping to never mow another lawn again. "Next time, I'll stick with doing the dishes." The boy mumbles out with a flat tone.
