A Hero's Life Reboot EP 3: First Brat
I don't own anything except my OCs.
Ben was hanging out in the mall, playing a portable gaming system as his sister and friends went shopping. "TAKE THIS! And some of that! HA! Missed me!" Ben was so focused on the game; that he wasn't aware that a vacuum on display was sneaking up on him. "A little more and now the—" BEEP BEEP BEEP "WHAT!? Game over!? But I have all my power belt! I think this game CHEATS!" The vacuum sucks him in, dropping his console on the floor as no one notices.
Ben is launched from a panel on the floor and lands in front of the teen spies. "Hello, Benjamin." Jerry greets in a fisher outfit. Ben rubbed his head and he noticed that he was in a jet. "Okay, I'm pretty sure that I don't just go from a vacuum cleaner to a jet in a flash!" "Welcome to our world, kid." Clover comments as she and the girls are on a couch.
Ben stands up and rubs his butt to soothe it. "Now that you are all here, I need your help with an important mission: The president and I are off to fish!" The 4 spies look at each other in bewilderment. "'Off to fish'? Is that like a secret code for something?" "No. no code, actually fishing! The president has invited me to his lake-side retreat for a White House appointment." "The White House? Cool!" Ben grins out at meeting the president of the USA, himself! "I always wanted to meet the president! I once met my world's president, but it was I was in alien form." Ben points out as Sam smiles. "Well, now you get to meet him as yourself, Ben."
"I'm sorry. But am I missing something? I'm not getting the connection! But you fishing is an important mission? And us?" Clover questions as Jerry snaps his fingers, making a screen slide down and display a smiling girl with short purple hair and in a school uniform who the same age as Ben is. "The president requested that 3 of my top agents for the safekeeping of his daughter, Madison."
"WE'RE BABYSITTING!?" The teens exclaim. "Well… yes. But understand that this mission is important… to me!" "Uhh… Jerry? Why am I here?" "Simple. Because Madison is your age, the president requested that you and she have a play date." "PLAY DATE!? NO WAY! NO HOW! I'm not a little kid! I'm in my double digits!" "Uhh… Newsflash! 11-year-olds do play dates!" Sam points out as Jerry made some gadgets appear from the floor. "Yes, well… on to the gadgets! Today, you have the Padded Shoulder Portable Parasail! Expandable Cable Bungee Belt. Friendship Ring Zirconium Tracker. And plenty of Net Grenades."
He tosses a backpack to each girl and straps himself in a nearby chair. "Well… The White House awaits." "Forget it, Jerry! I'm not going! I'm staying in this jet and there's nothing you can do that can make me go!" Ben crosses his arms and turns away. The man smirks and pushes a button, making a hatch underneath the kid open. The boy noticed something weird and opened his eyes and looked down. "I asked for this, didn't I?" Ben deadpans as Alex responds. "Big time, little brother." Ben screams as he falls out. "AAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" He saw the White House coming up fast. "Give me some wings, please!" Ben pleads to the Omnitrix and slaps down on the moth man's icon, which he named Big Chill. FLASH
"I SAID WINGS! NOT WEEDS!" Swampfire cries out as he quickly uses his flames below, slowing his fall to a stop above the roof, landing on the roof. "Whew! That was close! But the next time I see Jerry, I'm giving him a Big Chill ice noogie on that chrome dome of his!" He then heard screaming and looked up, seeing the girl's couch tumbling onto the roof and making him leap out of the way. Swampfire looks back to see the girls on the ground, all dazed as Jerry floats gently down by parachute.
"Perhaps you girls should have buckled up." Just then, a bunch of men in suits surrounds them. "And maybe we should have called first?" Clover asks out. "I got this!" Swampfire smirks as he cracks his knuckles while walking up to them. "Okay, fancy pants! Do you want to do this hard? Cause that's fine with me!" As he raises a fist to punch them… BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH Ben looks down at himself and smiles weakly at the men. "Uhh… Want to do Rock-Paper Scissors, instead?" The girls slap their faces in response.
The screen is black, only for a bolt of green lightning to make a flash of white light as upbeat music is heard.
Ben stands as he is smirking at the camera as a black with green bubbles background is behind the tween, making the boy raise both his arms and show off his new Omnitrix and then slap down with a grin, making a flash of light.
"BEN 10!"
"He's a kid and he wants to have fun!"
Upgrade with hands on hips appears as a close-up of his face shows up in the background as a bolt of lightning comes down.
Big Chill flies across and freezes as the same thing happens to Swampfire, leaping out of an explosion.
"But when you need a superhero, he gets the job done!"
"BEN 10!"
Shock Rock smashes his fists together, sending out waves of electricity that affect the 4th wall.
"With A device that he wears on his arm."
"He can change his shape and save the world from harm!"
Ben poses with his Omnitrix, just as headshots of Shock Rock, Water Hazard, Big Chill, and Swampfire show up, one-by-one.
Rath was staring at Grey Matter, who hopped along a bunch of platforms with the watch symbol on it while the tiger alien was confused before it turned into rage as he held his head in anger.
"When trouble's taking place."
Ben was then running towards the screen.
"He gets right in its face!"
"BEN 10!"
Humungousaur, Slapback, Fasttrack and Upgrade's headshots show up as well!
A green circuit board background is shown as 5 aliens show up in a row while Ben is staring at the 4th wall as his right side is shown. The aliens are Shock Rock, Fasttrack, Rath, Swampfire, and 4 Slapbacks.
"When lives are on the line."
The same thing happens with his left side as more aliens appear. The aliens are now: Big Chill, Water Hazard, Grey Matter, Humungosaur, and Upgrade.
"It's hero time!"
"BEN 10!"
It ends with Ben and Alex, standing side to side with crossed arms and smirks as the title appears above.
The team was hanging out in the Oval Office, waiting for the President. "Cool office! It's so… round!" "Actually, it's oval! You know, as in, Oval Office." Sam corrects Alex as the door opens. The President walks in and hugs Jerry. "Well, put a Rattlesnake in my pocket and ask me for a match! How ya'll doing, Bubba!" "I'm… doing well, sire," Jerry responds. "Doing well."
"'Bubba'? What's a Bubba?" "Got me! I'm still stuck on the Rattlesnake thing!" Sam responds as Ben comments as he finishes his soda, throwing the can in a bin. "Is this guy supposed to be the president or a cowboy? I can't tell." "I'll take it from here, Nesfield." The man spoke to the head of security, and he nodded back. "Yes sir, Mr. President." he walks out of the room.
Jerry introduces the President to the team. "Mr. President, I would like you to meet 3 of WOOHP's top agents: Sam, Clover, and Alex." The girls salute one by one. "And this child is Ben Tennyson. Our newest recruit and Madison's play date." "S'up?" The boy causal greets. "Howdy ladies!" The man cheers as the girl's sweat drops. "And hey yourself, youngling!" Ben shrugs and picks his ear, flicking some wax out. "You have to excuse him, Mr. President! He's just a little goofball!" Ben glares at Clover at the comment. "Don't make me go Rath on you, blondie!" Both glare at each other as sparks fly.
Just then, the other doors open as Madison runs in while an elder woman in her 60s follows in. The president hugs his girl and introduces the 2. "And this is my daughter, Madison! And her nanny: Mrs. Quivers!" "My father told me how you guys go around, saving the world and stuff! I just wanted to say thank you." She curtsied, making the teens blush.
Ben, on the other hand, was bored of the talk. He decides to fiddle with the Omnitrix to pass the time, while the others talk. He checks his roaster, looking through the icons when he stops on the 10th alien. "Hmm… Never got the chance to use this guy. Wonder what he can do?" "Here's Madison's afternoon schedule. Madison's recreation schedule and Madison's schedule's schedule." Mrs. Quivers said as she handed a long list to the girls. Ben notices the president and Jerry is gone. "I believe that's everything." The old Nanny walks out as Ben watches. He doesn't know why, but there's something not right about that woman as Sam asks. "Uhh... Don't you want to stick around a while/ See how we do?" "Sorry, but today is my day off, tah-tah!" She shuts the door in response.
"Well, Maddie. I guess it's just us." "Yeah, I'm out." Ben walks out to the left door as Alex calls out. "Wait! Where are you going?!" "Somewhere fun to do on a Saturday that doesn't involve a schedule! I'm going to see if this place has got a skate park or an arcade. Laters!" The boy walks out with his hands in his pockets. "Ugg… Little brothers." Alex groans out as the others nod. Madison was watching the boy and couldn't help but be curious.
"Okay! Now if I were a cool game room, where would I be?" The shapeshifter tween mumbles as he walks down the hall, trying to figure out heads or tails. He stops at a door. "Maybe it's in here?" He opens it, only to find a lab with a bunch of people. They all stared at him. "Uhh… My bad." He closes and breathes out. "Okay, that was not it." He tries a set of double doors and walks in. He notices he is in a girl's bedroom. "Ugg… Cootie paradise! Wait… This must be Madison's room." SLAM He whirls around to see Madison slamming the doors but doesn't notice him. "HA! Let's see if you can get in now, losers!" She blows a raspberry at it and turns, only to stop at seeing the boy staring back.
"…. Ok... This is weird, right?" "Yep! Weird." Madison replies in response as Ben scratches his neck in awkwardness. "So... What do you do around here for fun?" "Fun? I don't think anyone here knows the meaning of that word." Madison replies with crossed arms and a frown as she looks away while Ben is unsure how to respond to her answer. "What are you talking about? You're the president's kid! Aren't you super rich or something? You can do anything and get anything you want!" "Except I can't!"
Madison walks over to her desk and scuffles through some papers as she explains to the boy. "You think this is a good life? Try being stuck with the Secret Service, having your whole day planned for you, and having to deal with the media for the last 2 years. Even my new babysitters work for the government! All I want to do is go out and have fun and adventures!" She shows a drawing of herself as a princess knight, fighting a fire-breathing dragon.
She put it away as she spoke out. "But the only time I get to have fun is here in my room, playing make-believe. I never get to do anything I want! It's like no matter where I go, someone is always breathing down my neck! I can never get a break." Madison explains as she turns her back and leans forward on her desk as she explains with a sigh.
Ben looks guilty at the kid, feeling bad about her missing out on the joys of childhood. Noticing some windows, he gets an idea that could help her out. He walks over and gets the girl's attention. "I think I can help. I'm going to give you a day as a normal kid!" He activates the Omnitrix, twisting the dial past a few icons and stopping on Big Chill. "What kind of watch is that?" FLASH
Ice spreads around the boy as he smirks. Being encased, 2 green eyes popped out of the frozen glacier. He burst out of the ice as his wings were frozen. But they broke out as well, making him pose.
Madison was too surprised to say anything, leaving Big Chill to hook his hands under her arms, flap his wings, and take off through the window. Madison had her eyes closed, too scared to even look down. "Hey. Maddie! Open your eyes." The girl slowly did and saw the city from above. She was amazed and started laughing. "I'm flying! I'm flying!" Big Chill smiles at the girl and heads down to an alley.
The alien lands and sets the girl down as the boy times out. "WOW! I'm really outside the White House! With no one watching me! This is amazing!" "You're welcome!" Ben smirks as Maddie turns and questions. "That watch lets you become a moth guy, whenever you want?" "It's not just him. This is called the Omnitrix. It contains this special energy that allows me to become one of 10 different aliens. One for each DNA sample stored inside it."
"Wait?! 10!? So those weird things on the news, lately? That was you?" "Yep." Ben nods as Madison gets an awed look. "THAT IS SO COOL! You're like the world's youngest superhero! Can I see more aliens?!" The boy shook his head as he showed the red glowing watch. "Can't. It's in recharge mode. I can't turn into another until 5 minutes later." "Then… can I have a turn? I wonder what's it like being an alien!?" "Can't either. It's bonded to my DNA. Only I can use it. And it's got tons of security and fails-safes systems as well. But I can show something else. Come on! I saw it when we were landing!" Ben walks out of the alley as the girl follows.
They both enter the street and look around. "Found it!" Ben points at an arcade. The kid ran towards it, but Maddie wasn't sure. After a few minutes of thought and debating, she follows the boy inside. She was amazed by all the games and other kids playing them, completely unaware of the new arrivals. She walks around, trying to find Ben. She spotted him playing a fighting game.
The boy saw the girl in the game's reflection and smirked. He turns back and pops out a quarter, slotting it in, and pushes the 2P button. He pats the console, inviting her up. Madison smiles and walks up, grabbing her controls. Pretty soon, the 2 were getting into the game, playing, and having a good time.
After wasting 2 hours of arcade time, the kids hit some more stores for a day in the town. They hit a candy store and bought some sweets for later. They then visit a comic shop to check their favorite books. Then, they went to a Burger Barn and got lunch. Ben got a double cheeseburger with extra ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, and onions with curly fries and a medium Root Beer. Madison got a Chicken Sandwich with cheese and mayo, regular fries, and a Strawberry Milkshake.
They both talked about each other over their meals. Getting to know one another and learning about them. As Ben and Maddie were reaching for their fries, they accidentally touched their hands, made them blush and quickly pulled them back. They both look away, hoping to forget the moment.
Back at the White House, the spies were searching through Madison's room for her. "Where did she go? I mean, she's a little brat and all, but I don't want her to disappear!" "Yeah! If the President and Jerry find out, the boss will kiss his promotion goodbye and we'll be in hot water!" Alex and Clover hug each other with fear. "Girls! Girls! Relax! We will find her! We just need to search for some clues…" Sam reassured as the kept looking.
Just then, Alex saw some ice near a window sill. "Hey! Check this out!" The others went up and looked at it as well. "Ice? In the middle of a sunny day? How is this possible?" Clover questions as Alex nods in response. "Yeah! Weird as well." Sam looks out the window and at the city, groaning as she rubs her head. "Please don't tell me that Ben turned into Big Chill and took Madison into town without security?" "We are so dead." Clover groans out.
"YAAAA-WHHHHOOOO!" Ben cries out as he and Madison skate through the streets. Ben was on a rented skateboard and Maddie had roller skates. They both were shredding things up, grinding, and flipping on things as they both laughed. Just then, Ben stops at a nearby junkyard. Maddie stops as well, asking as the boy notices a discarded poster for a Go-Kart on the cart. "Hey, Ben? What are you stopping for?" "Maddie… I just got a brainstorm!"
He runs in as Maddie follows as well. She looked in confusion as the boy who gave her the best day off ever was scrounging through junk, pulling out certain parts. "What are you doing?" "I'll show you later! But if you help, we can get this done sooner! Just pick up things that belong to a car." Madison shrugs and helps as well, collecting junk as well.
After about 10 minutes, they placed all the junk they collected in front of them. "Okay. We got all the things! But what good are they for? It's just junk!" "They won't be when I'm through with them!" Ben smirks as he cracks his knuckles, activating the Omnitrix and slamming it down. FLASH
Upgrade's goop flew from the watch and spun around the boy, engulfing him as his right hand morphed into the tech alien's while the left did the same. His head forms as his eye ring shines, posing as the transformation is complete.
"Time for a major upgrade!" Upgrade pounces onto the pile, engulfing them as he creates something while Maddie stares in awe. Wheels were formed as well as exhaust pipes. Upgrade made some more improvements as he separated after 5 mins. "TAA-DAA!"
Before them sits a cool, supercharged race kart that is kid-sized. It has raised wheels and its back wheels are bigger than its front. It was colored mostly black with green stripes on the hood and sides. It has 3 seats, 2 small ones in the front and a big one in the back. 4 steel, shiny pipes pop out from the back as a trunk sits between them. It has a square front with 4 headlights. On the hood is an Omnitrix symbol.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH "Behold: The Omni-buggy!" Ben exclaims as Maddie has stars in her eyes. "This is so amazing!" Ben smirks as she tosses her purple helmet while Ben puts on a green one. "Who's up for a joy ride?"
"YAAAAAA-HOOOOO!" Ben exclaims behind the wheel as the buggy zooms down the street and high speed. Maddie was shouting with excitement as Ben worked the wheels and pedals, all suited for his height. "Now this is a blast! This had been the best day ever! Thanks, Ben!" "No problem, Maddie!" Ben thanks as he shifts gears with the stick between them and floors the gas pedal as the buggy tears through the streets.
"Come on, girls! We need to find them before Nesland finds out!" Sam said as they looked around town. "Maybe they're at a park? Or a zoo? Or—" BEEP BEEP Clover was interrupted as the girls looked down to see Ben and Maddie, driving past them as they cried out in joy. "YEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!"
They drove past them as the teens were shocked. "Uhh… did you 2 see the kids, driving a cool-looking and advanced go-kart, past us?" Alex answers Clover. "Yep." "Oh, good. I thought I was hallucinating." Sam mumbles out. "Okay, who wants to tell the president that his daughter is riding in a very fast go-kart?" "NOT ME!" Suddenly, another car zooms past them as Alex speaks out. "What was that?!"
As the kids are enjoying the drive, Maddie notices something in her mirror as she sees a car closing in after them. Looking back, she sees a menacing-looking car that screams 'evil villain'. "Step on it, Ben! I think we have company! And not the good kind!" BANG The buggy was bumped by the car, making the kids jolt as they looked back in terror as the car closed in on them. "HANG ON!" Ben cries out as he floors it, making the kart pull away. The chase was on as the cars swerved around others and turned, hoping to lose the car. Ben keeps his eyes focused as they make a power slide around a giant fountain.
"Do we have something to lose them?!" Maddie cries out. "I do have some buttons." Ben cries out as they look at 2 rows of 4 buttons. The girl panicked and pushed a random one. Suddenly, flames roared from the pipes as the car jettisoned at higher speeds. Both kids felt the g-forces on their faces. "I THINK THAT WAS THE TURBO BOOST!" "NOTED!" Both kids cried out as they felt their cheeks stretching from the winds. They quickly slide around a corner and the boost dies down. Ben looks at the buttons, remembering what they did when he was Upgrade. Seeing an alleyway, he shouts out. "I got an idea! HOLD ON!"
He quickly turns the kart to a stop in front of the alley, waiting for the other car to come before throwing his in reverse and flooring it, making it zoom backward. The bad car missed them as the Omni-buggy flew out onto another street and shot forward. It quickly turns into another alley and screeches to stop. Ben quickly pushes another button, making the kart cloaked in some sort of form-fitting shield before turning invisible, hiding in the shadows. "Stay down… And keep quiet." Ben mumbles out as he and Maddie hide in the back seat.
They peeked out to see the car stopping in front of the alley, both waited while holding their breaths. The car then drives away at a slower speed. Maddie sighs. "That was close…" Ben hops in the driver seat and pulls the kart out, following the other with silent speed. "Ben? Why are we following them?" "If that thing isn't Secret Service, then there has to be another reason why they were chasing us. Let's follow them and find out!" "I hope we know what we are doing." The girl mumbles out as she glances off the side.
They followed the car as it entered a secret passageway into an apartment building that was abandoned, unlike the others. The buggy deactivated stealth mode. "This is the bad guy's secret hideout?" Maddie questioned as they approached the building. "That's where the car went into. Now we need to get inside and know who tried to attack us! Time to break in, Rath style!"
But as Ben is dialing towards his tiger alien with a bad attitude, Maddie quickly stops him from slamming the core, looking at some plant that grows to the roof. "Maybe not. I have an idea." Ben looks back at the plant and deadpans at his new friend. "You're joking, right?" Both struggle as they climb the greens, trying with all their might to reach the top. They eventually reached the roof and they collapsed and breathed heavily as Ben mumbled out. "I knew I should have gone Rath and smashed the doors down." "Well… we made it to the roof. That's good." Maddie spoke with a smile.
Just then, they noticed a nearby air duct that was their size. "Hey… we can use this to sneak in!" Ben pries the vent off and sets it aside, crawling in as Maddie follows. "The old 'air duct' spy move. Oldie, but a goodie." The girl comments as they crawl inside. They both crawl through the maze of ducts. "Okay… which way is the bad guy's lair?" "I don't know. I was kind of hoping we would just stumble across it." Ben spoke back to Maddie. Just then, they heard voices coming from a nearby grate. They both crawled over to see a high-tech place.
But what surprises them is the girls in a cage as Mrs. Quivers is on a couch, sipping a cup of tea as 2 overweight adult twins stand by her. Behind her on a screen is a mad scientist-looking prisoner in a cell. "My Nanny with the girls?! What's going on?" "I don't know, but something tells me that car belongs to her," Ben whispers back as they both watch and listen in silence. "Let's listen."
"That mad scientist guy happens to be my husband." "HUSBAND!?" The teens exclaim at once as the old woman continues. "Yes. I simply don't want the father of my twins to rot away for the next 100 years. You see, Mrs. Quivers is one half of the famous 'spat lander gang'." "The counter-espionage group that tried to threaten world destruction by detonating explosive devices at multiple Earthquake fault-lines across the continents?" Sam asks as the woman conforms. "That's right. We were just one tiny microchip away from holding the world hostage! Hard to believe, hm?" "Yeah! I'll say that guy is barely half your height." Clover points out as the elder responds. "My dear. Love is not measured in inches." "Aw! That is sweet." Sam and Clover just have blank looks at Alex's comment.
Because of the information, the kids ponder as Ben realizes something as he whispers out! "I get it now! Mrs. Quivers became your nanny, so she knows about the White House's workings…" "… And figure out how to kidnap me when no one is watching. So, she can get her husband back and try to take over the world again!" Maddie figures it out as Ben smirks out. "Which means it's time to start smashing things."
But as Ben dialed the watch to Humungousaur, Madison suddenly felt her nose twitch from the dust in the vent. "Uh-oh. Ben. I'm… Ah…. Ah... Ah…" The boy quickly covered her mouth, making her stop, and made both kids sigh. "That was close." Ben breathes out as the girl nods in response.
"AAAAHHHHHH-CHHHHHHOOOOOO!" Maddie sneezes loudly out of nowhere, getting the woman's attention. "WHAT WAS THAT?!" "What's the plan now!?" "Here it is: Get out now!" Ben responds as they both quickly crawl back, making Mrs. Quivers look at the vents. "They're heading to the roof! Bobby! Robby! Start the cell walls and follow me up." The boys push some remotes, making spikes appear in the girl's cage as they scream.
Maddie crawls out onto the roof as Ben follows up! "We need to go!" The boy cries out as they run to the edge. Maddie screeches to a stop on the edge, only to get bumped by Ben and fly off. "AAAHHHHH!" She luckily lands in the Omni-Buggy's back seat. She rubs her head and looks up with a frown. "Ben!" "SORRY!" But just then, Ben turns around to see the roof door being banged open, making him back up, only to trip on a rock and fall. Maddie quickly gasps and gets in the driver's seat and shifts to reverse, backing up so the boy can land in the back seat.
"Whoa! How did you know how to drive?!" "I'm a quick learner! Plus, those driving game lessons from the Arcade pay off!" She winks at the boy, who smiles and sits up in the passenger seat. "Well, thanks!" "THERE SHE IS, BOYS!" Both kids turn to see the 3 bad guys looking over the roof. "GRAB HER!" "STEP ON IT, MADDIE!" The girl shifts gears and stomps the gas, making the kart zoom off. "Get the car!"
The kids were driving through the streets as fast as they could as Ben and Maddie switched places. "Okay! Since the girls are busy escaping, we need to get to your dad and tell him about Mrs. Quivers!" "NO! If Daddy finds out that I snuck out just to have fun, he'll ground me until I'm old! Maybe we can hold the bad guys off until you and the girls defeat her?"
"Maddie! Your Nanny is an old whacko who wants to release a prisoner back so they can take the world hostage by shaking it! And I can't fight them without revealing my secret to the world! I'll have every baddie in the world targeting me for the watch! Besides, my Grandpa Max says we all have our responsibilities and our duty to own up to them! He's been teaching me that ever since I got this." Ben gestures to his Omnitrix as he knows fun time is over and it's now hero time!
Madison looks down in thought at his words. She realizes that it was her fault. If she had been nicer to the girls, they would have stopped Mrs. Quivers and kept her safe! But instead, she treated them like dirt and ran away from home, because she wanted to escape the problems of her life and just enjoy a taste of freedom. Maddie sighs as she speaks out. "You're right, Ben. We'll find Daddy and tell him the truth." "Thanks! And if it helps, I'll tell him that it was all my idea to run away!" "You do that for me?!" "Of course! We're friends! That's what they do: help each other when they need it." "Thanks, Ben."
ZAP BOOM "WHOA!" "AAAHHH!" A laser blasted on the side, making an explosion that rocked the Buggy for a bit. Both kids look back to see a spider bot on long legs chasing after them. "Great! First an evil car, then an evil spider robot?! Why did you let your Nanny have all this stuff!?" "Don't blame me! I didn't know she was a terrorist until today!" Maddie said back as they swapped back as she steered, avoiding the lasers. Ben dials his watch to the 10th alien's icon and smirks. "Quick! Try and lose them for a bit!" Maddie looks around and spots another alleyway that leads to some trees from the local park, taking it as the spider crawls over the building.
The buggy slid as it went through some trees. "Time to take my 10th alien for a test drive!" Ben smirks as his last mystery alien. Madison makes sure to stay clear as Ben slaps his watch down, obscured from view by the leaves. FLASH
Blue lighting bursts from Ben's chest as he silently screams. The energy courses from the watch and travels to his other arm as he grins. His right arm turns into a 4 fingered limb that is made out of blue and white energy. He throws an uppercut with the arm as the rest of his body becomes the same as it. Then, rocks started to gather on him as he spun and posed, finishing the transformation.
Maddie was shocked by the new alien. Ben is now a tall, bulky being made from pure, blue energy. Four spikes are protruding from both of his shoulders. His arms are rather large, stretching down nearly to his feet in a resting position. His arms, chest, and legs are rock-like. A moss-like substance can be seen around his neck. He has a rock helmet with his face exposed with 2 green eyes. He has the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
"Whoa! This is new!" Ben exclaims as he looks at himself. "It's like your made out of energy!" Maddie said as she steered the buggy out of the trees. Ben quickly climbs to the back seat and stands on it, looking back to see the spider crawling out of the trees and chasing them again. "All right! Let's see what this guy can do!" He holds his hand out as it makes an energy orb, quickly tossing it at the spider bot as it dodges. He kept chucking orbs at it, only to notice one of them morphed into a hammer. "Huh?! How did?" He looks at his hands in thought.
He then tries to form something else, letting the energy dance around his hands until a giant blue boomerang is formed. "WHOA! Check this out!" "Amazing! It looks like you can manipulate the energy your body is made of to create weapons based on your imagination!" "GO! Bluemerang!" He tosses his new weapon as the spider dodges again, only it doesn't count on it returning as it slices through half its legs, making it tumble down on its side. "AW YEAH! It does come back!" The spider recovers and morphs back into car mode as it begins firing lasers. Ben quickly made an energy shield to block them, only to absorb them into his body as his energy surged. "Whoa! power boost! Oh, boy! Too much power!"
Then he starts generating a huge ball of lightning in his hands and slams it down on the road, creating a massive wave of electricity that shocks the car, zapping the occupants as it spins away. "Whoa! Did you see that, Maddie?!" Ben is in awe as he looks at his energy-generating hands as the girl breathes out. "Totally! You shocked them silly!" "Yeah! It rocked! Wait... Rock... Shock... Shock Rock! That's going to be this guy's name!" The newly named Shock Rock grins out.
The buggy rounds a corner, out of sight of the villains as Ben times out. "That was close!" "Yeah! Hopefully, that bought us some time from them." Maddie said as they kept driving. Ben notices the Washington Monument. "Hey! Head to the Monument! We can hide out in there for a while!" The girl steers the buggy to the building, parking it in a shadow. They quickly hop out and run inside, unaware of the other car spotting them.
The kids ran up the stairs, stopping halfway to catch their breaths. "Are you sure this will work?" "Yeah! They'll never find us in here." SLAM "THOUSE 2 ARE IN HERE! FIND THEM!" They both look down to see the 3 baddies at the base. "Oh, man!" They continued running up, reaching the top floor. They quickly look around the room.
"We need to find somewhere to hide!" "There!" Maddie points at a janitor's closet that can be missed. "Inside!" They both rushed in, closing the door and barricading it with something as they both sat down, catching their breaths. "Okay…. If we keep quiet, Mrs. Quivers won't hear us." "Are you sure about that? This kind of thing backfires in the movies." Maddie whispers. "Well, this is real life. So, this can work! I hope." They both wait for the coast to be clear, hoping the Spies will find them and take them down or the watch to recharge.
Suddenly, Mrs. Quiver's voice could be heard. "They must be on the top floors! You 2 check the other 3, I'll search the top and work my way down." They both held their breaths as they could hear footsteps outside. Maddie spots a glass cup on the floor and picks it up, silently placing it on the door as she listens through it. The 11-year-olds both sweated in fear as the girl kept listening to her evil Nanny, mumbling to herself as she walked around, trying to find her.
But Ben accidentally bumps into a shelf, making a few items fall. But the boy quickly grabbed them, setting them gently down as they both smiled in relief. CRASH But one slipped, an iron bucket that made a loud noise. Maddie accidentally drops her glass in fear as it shatters.
The door was being banged on as the barricade struggled. "We're doomed!" Madison cries as she hides behind Ben. "Come on! Come on! Recharge already!" But as he kept slapping the watch, it kept giving a dying beep. SLAM The door was slammed open as the woman grabbed Ben and tossed him out. The boy picks himself up as he sees Mrs. Quivers grab Madison and leap out of a window, making the kid run to see the Nanny flying on a jetpack.
"Thanks for keeping her company, my boy! But we have an important meeting with her father and my husband! Taa-taa!" "BEN! HELP ME!" The baddie flies down to her car as her sons run out to it. The vehicle drives away as Ben angrily slams his fist on the panel, gritting his teeth. He starts running down the stairs, stopping to catch his breath on floor 10. "Why… does the… elevator has to be… broken today…" After a few more minutes, he rushed to the ground floor and quickly hopped into the buggy.
The kart took off as Ben got a call from his sister, telling him where the lakeside resort was. "Hang on, Maddie! Help is on the way!" He shifts gears and floors it.
At the lakeside resort, Jerry pulls what he thought was a bite, only it was an old boot, much to his dismay. "Well, Jerry old boy! Looks like you hooked a fighting fishing size 12 Double D!" "Yes, well… Maybe we should call it quits." "Or maybe." They both turn to see Mrs. Quiver and her sons, holding a tied and gagged Madison. "You should call the Maryland state prison and Free Prisoner 34343."
"MRS. QUIVERS?! I thought you had the day off! What's going on?!" "What's going, Mr. President... Is the ransoming of your daughter! Call the Prison or Maddie takes a swim class with the fishes!" The twins lower the girl into the water as she struggles. "I don't understand!' "You don't need to understand. Just take out your cell phone and dial, NOW!" I'm so sorry, sir." Jerry apologizes to the president. "My agents should have prevented this."
As that was happening, Ben zooms up to the front of the lodge in the Buggy, screeching it to a stop as he gets out. He ran to the side of the giant building and peeked out of the trees, seeing Maddie was about to drown. He moves back and dials the watch to Water Hazard. "Turn me into Grey Matter, you're scrap metal!" Slapping down on the watch after his brief threat, he saw that he was now Water Hazard and was satisfied. "Finally! An alien I wanted in the first place!"
He moves along the woods and lakeside and gets far away to not be noticed and dives in, swimming underwater. He notices his portholes and tries to blast, only to get propelled backward. "WHOA! Okay, that didn't work. I wonder… He decides to point the arms behind him, propelling himself forward at high speeds. He comes to a stop and silently swims up to Maddie, just to see his sister and the girls fly in on a Helicopter and chuck a net bomb, capturing Robby. "Direct hit!" Alex cheers out. Maddie saw Water Hazard as he held his finger on his mouth, making her slightly nod.
Water Hazard then grabs Madison's legs and tugs at them, dragging the girl underwater, much to everyone's surprise. "MADDIE!" "OH, NO!" Sam cries out in shock as well and everyone is stunned at what just happened. "Right here, Daddy!" Everyone turns to a dripping, untied smiling Maddie climbing on the President's boat. "WHAT?! BUT HOW!?" Just then, Bobby notices bubbling near the boat, making him look closer as 2 green glowing eyes stare at them. An arm burst out and grabbed his face, dragging him down as Mrs. Quivers called out. "BOBBY!"
Suddenly, the man was thrown from the water and crashed into some bushes as a fist broke through the boat, making water fill it. She climbed onto the docks and backed away slowly as the boat sank just as Robby was thrown on shore as well. Water Hazard climbs up behind her and taps her shoulder, making her turn to see Water Hazard crack his knuckles and knock her out, making the woman fall.
He gives a thumbs up at the others as Maddie returns the gesture. "Way to go, Ben!" "All right!" "Good moves!" "Nice work, son!" "Top notch, agent Tennyson."
Later, The Secret Service was escorting Mrs. Quivers and her sons away as the head asked the President. "You and Madison okay, Mr. President?" "We're fitter than a firefly on the fourth of July! Thanks to the spies, Ben 10, and old Jerry here!" He gestures to the team as the girls blush and giggle as the boy smirks with crossed arms. "What say we head back to the White House to cook up some of that fish?" "And you're going to make sure Maddie is going to get more privacy, space, and free time, right?" Ben adds to Maddie's father as the President laughs and nods.
At the White House, the group was posing in front of a crowd of paparazzi. They were going nuts about the fact that not only Jerry has been given an award, but the President is shaking hands with Ben, who is now Shock Rock. Jerry told the public that Shock Rock and the 9 other forms of Ben were visiting aliens from a faraway planet, sent by an 'intergalactic council' to inspect Earth on adding it to its ranks and thus, joined WOOHP as part of a peace treaty. The press ate the story up. The photographers left as Shock Rock safely times out.
"Thank you, Mr. President. But you don't have to do this." Jerry spoke as the man responded. "Sorry. But if you risk and limb for my family, you're getting a tip of the old 10-gallon! Enough said!" He responds with a smile. Ben walks over to Maddie and whispers to her. "I think there are some things you want to say to my sis and friends, Maddie." She nods as she walks up to them.
"Listen. I just want to say I'm sorry about the stuff from before. With my attitude and running away. I never really had any freedom in a long while, until Ben came along. Sorry, I took all my frustrations out on you." "Thanks! And you know, we saw you driving earlier, Madison." Sam said as Clover pointed out. "Totally! You got some skills, girl." Maddie smiles and blushes at the phrase as Ben smirks with a nod.
"You know, Mr. President. About me coming to work for you…" "I know where you're going with this, Jerry. And you're right. Stealing you from WOOHP would be a downright disservice to this country! So, I accept your formal withdrawal!" Jerry was surprised and smiled, shaking his hand. "You do?! Thank you, sir! Thank you very much!"
"And Maddie! After hearing about how much fun you had with this kid and what he's done for you, I decided that you can visit him every once in a while! As long we work around your schedule, that is. And I think it's about time you get some freedom as well. Sorry about before, sugar! I was just trying to protect you, that's all." Maddie was overjoyed as she hugged her father. "OH! Thanks, Daddy! Besides, I'm already well-protected! I got 3 of WOOHP's best agents watching me and a superhero for a friend."
"Well… looks like you get to see your girlfriend after all, huh?" Alex teases as Ben got a blush and yells back. "She's not my girlfriend, Alex! She's a girl and a friend, OKAY!?" The teens giggled as the boy turned and crossed his arms in annoyance. Maddie notices something out the window and looks, seeing the Omni-buggy parked out. "HEY! The buggy's parked out front! Let's go for one last joy ride for the day." "Sure, Maddie! That sounds great! And it's not a date, understand!?" He points at the spies as they zipped their lips.
Maddie got in the driver's seat as the boy went in the passenger seat, with the others watching from the window. The girl starts the car up and waves at her father, who waves back as well. Madison shifts gears and floors it, making the tires screech… and backed up into the fountain. "WE'RE OKAY!" Ben cries out as the girl chuckles with a sheepish grin. "Oops! Had the silly thing in reverse!" She corrects it and takes off, whooping and hollering as they drive into the city while the grown-ups all smile.
