Ben 10 Ultimate Hero EP 33: Max to the max
I don't own anything except my OCs.
Intro:
A green glowing, steel pod was flying through space, hurtling towards earth as it crashed, 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 fireballs 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.
"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 at his grandfather as Gwen crossed her arms and shook 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 appeared in heroic poses on each of the kids' sides, 5 on each side. Just as the title appears on a black background with green rays appearing from the title.
At a campsite in Nevada, the kids were all snug in their beds, dreaming about either waffles or anime. "Rise and shine, sleepy heads!" Max said as taps a metal pipe on the wall as the kids woke up, stretching out as Ben yawned. "Grandpa... It's like 6 am..." "It's 9:30. And we're rotating the tires today!" "But we want to hike the falls and swim in the lake!" Gwen complains as Ben adds in. "And climb some trees and rocks. Nature stuff." "Focus, kids. We have to take it, one thing at a time. First off: Tires! Let's go!" Max exits as the kids question each other. "You think he lost it?" "You think he had it?"
Max knees down at the tires as he got ready to work. "Okay! Now which one of my adventuring grandkids wants to go first?" But the kids manage to sneak past him and run up a mountain trail. They stopped to catch a breather. "You think we should help Grandpa out?" "Naah! He said we should only do 1 thing at a time! Hiking up to the waterfall is one thing. It's not just tire rotating." Ben points out as Gwen ponders out. "Can't argue with that logic. Race you there!" They both ran off.
But just as the kids left, a lump of dirt was traveling to where they were as it stopped. Maurice crawls out, sporting a satchel and flashlight headband his size as Sydney pops out with a flashlight as well. "Finally! Free from that miserable jail!" Sydney chatters, making the small mutant look back in annoyance. "What do you mean ''You're welcome"?! I did all the navigating! Now, if my calculations are correct, and there always are! This tunnel directed from that jail cell to that bothersome boy. With the annoying alien collection on his arm! There!" Maurice grins as he spots the Rust Bucket, thinking Ben is in it. But Sydney spotted the kids from a distance and pointed at them, chattering to get his partner's attention.
He climbs up to the big guy's shoulder. "Of course, I'm positive! And while you were digging, I was building… THIS!" He pulls out a brown, ray gun-looking device with a screen of a battery on the side. "A 3D Printer/ 3D Copier: My Replicateor Ray! Patent pending, of course. Once I get the right alien in my sights, the kid will be in for a shock, times 100!" Maurice then starts explaining his plan as an imagination bubble displays the events.
"Here's the plan: You will create a diversion, requiring the boy to transform into his crystal alien! My ray will then zap him and make him into 100 3D copies!" Sydney interrupts, asking if facing 100 Diamondheads is a smart move. "Stop getting ahead of me, Sydney. Yes! Normally, facing 100 aliens is a bad idea. But my ray only copies the bodies, not the intellect! The more copies it makes, the dumber the subject becomes! And easier to manipulate. HAHAHA! Now don't interrupt me! You know I hate it when you interrupt me. Now, where was I? Right! I'll make 100 mindless 3D copies. Then, I focus a beam of light through all 100 Diamondheads, making the world's most powerful laser!"
Sydney questions him on why he would create a really powerful laser at all and the small mutant answers back. "Isn't it obvious? We will use the laser to cut the biggest, longest escape tunnel ever! Sure brilliance! Digging by spoon will be a thing of the past. Now, to find the kids with the watch."
The kids were looking at an amazing view of a waterfall and lake from a mountain trail. "WOW! This scenery is so beautiful! That waterfall looks amazing!" "Yeah! And far! How do we get over to that thing?" Gwen saw a couple of people hiking on the trail, getting an idea. "Follow those hikers!" The kids ran to catch up.
Maurice is watching from some rocks, further up the trail as he grins from his binoculars. "Here they come, Sydney!" Getting the signal, Sydney bashes his fist on the rock wall, making the earth shake. Just as the people were walking, the earth shook, making them worried. "Earthquake?" Ben questions as Gwen sees some boulders tumbling down, chasing the 2 hikers down. "More like Avalanche! It's hero time!" Ben smiles and slaps the watch. FLASH "I've been itching for some action!" Four Arms cries out as he scoops Gwen and the hikers in his arms, leaping over the rocks.
He sets them down as 2 big boulders come rolling down. The warrior alien smashes the 2 into dust with ease. "I ROCK!" The hikers quickly ran away as Max walked up, stopping to catch his breath. "WHEW! I'd be pretty mad at you 2 for sneaking off if I hadn't seen what you did for those hikers! Way to focus you 2! I suppose the tires can wait. What's the worst with starting the day with a nice hike?" The kids bumped fists with smiles, glad not to change tires for a while.
Maurice, on the other hand, was not happy as he tossed his binoculars away. "CURSES! It never occurred to me that he turns into the big red guy!" Sydney mentions, making Maurice realize. "Why, yes! That would mean a total of 400 arms. Think of all the digging they can do. Give me the ray gun!" Maurice looks through the scope, getting the alien in it's sight. "2, 4, 6, 8. You are mine to replicate!" He fires, only for Four Arms to walk off as the laser hits Max, engulfing him in red lighting. FWOOM "What?" FWOOM "Take a hike. 1 thing at a time." "Look at the sun." FWOOM "DUUUH!" Max splits into 8, who are all now dumb as rocks as they act all goofy.
"Sounds like Grandpa is talking to himself." Gwen comments. But when she looks back, she gasps in shock as she stares at the clones. "BEN!" The alien was very shocked at what he was seeing as well. "What?!" "Pull finger." One clone pulls it as the other farts, making them laugh like goons as Four Arms rubs his head in confusion. "What is happening?" Gwen exclaims. "Multiple Maxes! And they are all dumb as rocks! Who could have done this?" "NOOOOOOOOO!" They both turn to see Maurice cry in agony as Sydney facepalms.
Four Arms glares at the 2, knowing what is going on. "Those Bugg Brothers! Time for some maximum strength pest control!" But the Maxes grab and lift the alien, carrying him to the Rust Bucket as Gwen follows behind. "BEN! GRANDPAS! WAIT UP!"
Maurice saw the ray's battery was low as he commented on what Sydney told him. "What do you mean 'What kind of numbskull built a device that requires time to charge'? Hold this!" He tosses it to Sydney as he climbs on his shoulder. "Get me closer to the red giant! I don't want to miss again!"
At the campsite, the Maxes were making a mess as they ran around like a bunch of nincompoops. To which they are, by the way. As the alien was being carried, he saw a giant tree and grabbed onto the branch, pulling himself up as he held onto another branch with 2 arms above him to support his weight. Gwen climbs onto the same branch as she comments as she looks around.
"This is bonkers!" Four Arms chuckles. "Yeah! This is Maximum overload! We're Maxed out! It's Max to the max! It's… Uhhh?" Gwen got annoyed as the alien scratches his head. "Done yet?" "HEY! They were funny!" "But this isn't! At this rate, they could hurt themselves, or someone else. I'll find a way to contain them!" She leaps off and runs "You grab one of them to interrogate!" "Are you sure you don't want to switch jobs? Seems I'm better at that one!" Four Arms calls out. He saw a clone and grabbed it by his shirt, bringing it up. "All right, Grandpa copy, talk!" "Pull my finger." "What if I don't want to?" The dumb copy gives the alien a wet wille, grossing him out.
Gwen tries to gather them, but the clones are too stupid to listen. She then realized something from cartoons about dumb people. Digging into her pocket, she pulls out a delicious chocolate bar and waves it around. "HEY! HEY! OVER HERE! COME AND GET IT!" The Maxes all saw the treat and were mesmerized. "Go get it!" She tosses the candy, making the Maxes chase after it as the dog pile. She quickly grabs the tow cable from the front bumper and loops around the clones. She tries to hook it, but the Maxes keep squirming. "I could use some extra hands over here!"
"Kind of busy here!" The alien responds as he slides back from another wet wellie. The branch broke, making the alien fall while grabbing the last clone. They both fell with a thud as he stood up while holding the last clone. "Not busy anymore." He went over and placed the last Max in, hooking the cable to itself and keeping the group tied. "Can't these Maxes relax?" Four Arms asks as he crosses his arms as Gwen answers. "They can't! Their minds are too scattered to focus. We need to find the Bugg Brothers and get Grandpa back to normal!" They both look back to see the group giggling like loons. As the cousins look around for the 2 mutants, they look up and see the mutants on top of an oak tree as Maurice grins out. "There he is! In the perfect line of procurement!"
Gwen groans in annoyance and disgust. "Ugg… There they are. I'll keep the problem contained; you catch the causes!" "Right! Got to split!" The alien hero dashed off as Gwen watched over the clones.
"Quickly Sydney! Pass me the device!" The big guy did that as Maurice peeks through the scope. "Steady… Steady… Wait, what?!" The tiny mutant was confused as he saw Four Arms' glaring, angry face staring at him. "Something must be wrong with this scope. He looks much too—" He notices the alien is right beside him, growling as he scaredly exclaims. "CLOSE!" Just before he could crush him, Sydney tackles Four Arms, sending them tumbling down the branches to the ground.
Four Arms quickly recovers and grabs the mutant by his shirt as he raises 2 fists. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY GRANDPA!?" "The same thing I'm going to do to you!" He looks up to see Maurice aiming at him, ready to fire. "Copy and stupefied!" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH Ben's timing out saved him as the laser missed and hit the Max clones instead, splitting them into 16 as they broke free. "Nice duck, doofus! Now we have more Maxes and… LOOK OUT!" Gwen exclaims as the boy quickly turns to see Sydney stomping towards him but is stopped by the Maxes as they wave their fingers. "Pull finger! Pull finger! Do it! Do it! Do it!" FART
Sydney regretted it as he gags in disgust, while the boy crawls and gasps for air. "Those Maxes smell as bad as a dumpster!" He stands and runs as Maurice runs after him, zapping along the way. "Run if you want! There's no escaping my copy ray! I'll copy an army to catch you! And copy that army as well into a bigger one!" He zaps a Max as Ben leaps over them. As they sat up and were playing pattycake, Maurice leaps between and gets smashed between the hands. His copy ray was broken as well and Maurice groaned in pain.
The boy ran up to his cousin and spoke to her. "Did you hear that?! Bug Boy said the more copies there are, the dumber they get!" "So, if we take out the copies, we can get the real Grandpa back! But how?" The kids then start thinking of a way. They noticed a Max jumping from a tree and landing on some clones. But when they did, the impact turns them into red dust that fades away. A few Maxes stops. "Chore?" "Focus?"
Gwen comments on the sight. "Question asked. Answer received." "So… All we need to do is pummel all the clones until Grandpa is left! Easy!" Ben grins and dials the Ultimatrix to Cannonbolt and slaps it down. FLASH "Cannonbolt Pinball!" He then rolls around, smashing and crashing clones into dust. Gwen watches as her cousin bashes the Maxes like bowling pins until only 2 are left. The alien stops in front of them. "Okay, Grandpas! It's down to the 2 of you! Which one is the real one?" The Maxes looked at each other and shouted. "I know! I know! I'll help! I'll get the last one with this!" They both pick a stick up and get ready to hit each other.
"Should… We try and stop them?" Gwen comments as they both look confused as they are unsure of what to do. "I'm... Not sure." Cannonbolt mumbles out. "I'll help! I'll help!" WHACK POOF The dust clears out to reveal one Maxwell Tennyson. "GRANDPA!" Max coughs the dust out as he holds his head in wooziness. "Ugg… That hurt! My head..." "GRANDPA!" Cannonbolt hugs his grandfather in relief that he is back to normal.
Maurice tosses the broken ray aside as he speaks to his partner in disappointment. "Well, Sydney. They destroyed my ray and my duplicates! I hate to say this, but it's tunnel time!" He hands a spoon as the big guy starts digging, only for Cannonbolt to roll over them. "Oh, no you don't! You bugs just got squashed!" Maurice moans in pain.
Later, the cops take the mutants back to prison as Ben comments. "Man! If I had the Bugg Brother's ray, I could make copies of my aliens! My 10 guys would become a 100!" "That's not even close, Ben. It would be a 1000." Gwen corrects as Max comments. "Well, I'm just glad to be only 1 Grandpa Max. You did good today kids!" "THANKS! GRANDPA!" They laugh at today's wacky adventure.
