Ben 10 Ultimate Hero EP 28: Don't Laze me, bro
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 to 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.
The Rust Bucket pulls to a stop as Ben looks out the window in joy. "GWEN! WE'RE HERE!" His cousin runs up and adopts the same facial expression. Both kids run out of the RV and look in awe at the building. "LASER TOWN!" Both kids were super excited to play laser tag at the best indoor laser tag place ever. "LET'S GO!" They both ran to the front doors, only to screech to a stop as one of the workers placed a sign that said, 'Closed today for private event'.
"Sorry, we're closed for the day for a private event." Gwen raised an eyebrow in response. "A private event'?" "What does that mean?" Ben asked in confusion. "It means someone rented the place out for the day. Come back tomorrow." He walks in and Ben is shocked. "Tomorrow?! That's 24 hours from now! I NEED LASER TAG NOW!"
Max walks up to calm his grandson. "Ben, be patient." "But Grandpa! I wanted this ever since Summer started!" "We don't always get what we want when we want." Max points out as Gwen nods in agreement. Ben stomps his foot as he gets furious. "What sort of monster would rent out an entire square millage of laser paradise for themselves?!"
Just then, a familiar limo pulls up, slamming the door open in Ben's face as a familiar boy emerges, tossing money out. "BILLY BILLIONS!" "Ugg… Billy Billions. Wait! You rented out Laser Town?!" Gwen questions in shock as Billy explains while Ben pushes the window down and he glares with fury. "Of course! Father rented it out for my birthday. But since he and mother are busy with business across the seas, I'll just enjoy it with my friends and me!" His butler brings in a ton of shiny presents. Gwen then smiles at the rich kid, hoping to get a chance to enter the place. "I… Don't suppose you could let us in on the guest list, pretty please? Just this once?"
The kid merely laughs and answers. "Look, I understand this is hard to listen to. But even if you 2 aren't nobodies with questionable taste in hand accessories. Even more questionable taste in cat-themed apparel." Gwen looks at her shirt in concern as Ben gets angry at his Ultimatrix being dissed. "And even if you didn't drive around with an old man in a useless-stinky pile on wheels. I still won't invite you. Laser Town isn't for losers. Have fun doing whatever you people do." Billy walks away as Gwen and Ben get angry. The boy slams the car door shut in rage.
"Kids, how about we just come back the next day? Let Billy enjoy himself. Besides, he's just trying to get under your skin. The best thing to do is-" Max suggests to calm them down as they ignore him. "WAIT! No one calls us losers! We challenge you to a laser tag duel! You and your 'Birthday buddies' against me and my cousin!" "YEAH!" Gwen adds out as Max sighs out as he rubs his eyes with his fingers. "Just ignore me."
Billy stops and looks back with a confused look. "Why would I do that" The Tennyson cousins look at each other as Gwen tells. "Cause the loser promises to never set foot in Laser Town for 5 whole years!" Ben was shocked by the demands as he whispered. "Gwen, what are you doing?! I thought we were going to make the loser admit that he is wrong and phrase the winner!?" "Relax. I know what I'm doing."
"You 2 give up Laser tag? For 5 years?" "For 5 years!" The girl responds as Billy smirks and walks over. "I accept! Let's put this in black and white." He snaps his fingers, making his butler appear with a gold dome. He opens it to show a contract. Billy signs first and then points at the bottom line. "Sign here." The kids did it as Max was concerned. "Are you sure you two want to do this? Half a decade is a long time." "Done!" Billy sees that Ben adds 'loser face' to his signature. But they both signed for Gwen's name has a snowflake and a cat next to it as Ben's name has a 10 next to it with the watch symbol in the '0'.
"Very mature. See you on the battlefield." Billy snaps as he and his butler walk inside. The siblings were smirking as Max asked. "Why are you 2 so focused on beating Billy? Can't you just let it go?" "Relax, Grandpa! He said we need to beat his 'friends.'" "He's a spoiled kid. He doesn't have any. Wait for us in the lobby, Grandpa. I need to get our outfits ready." Gwen adds to Ben as the kids fist bump each other and run off. Max groans as he rubs his face. "I hope we don't get kicked out, this time."
In the neon-colored arena, with all sorts of colorful and cool decorations and props, a tiger head opens its mouth as it roars with fog pouring out. Out slides, Ben and Gwen, are now armed with laser guns and vests, but they have new looks, courtesy of Gwen.
Gwen now has a ninja look. She is wearing a blue with white trims Kunoichi outfit with short puffy sleeves for her tunic as her hair is now in a low ponytail. She has a black dragon and white tiger in a yin-yang style on the back of the outfit. She has black spandex shorts underneath her front and back sash. She has wrappings on her arms and hands in the form of fingerless gloves with blue and white ninja guards over them. She has long white shocks that go to her thighs with ninja shoes and matching leg plates that go to her knees. She lastly has a matching mask over her mouth and chin, a white coaker tied around her neck, and a long black headband with a steel plate. On it is a leaf symbol. On the front sash is a design of snowflakes and blizzards. [Think of Kasumi from Dead or Alive's outfit, but more kid-friendly and has some extra details.]
Ben's is a Mad Max punk look. He wears a black and white sleeveless shirt with an oversized steel plate on his left shoulder, which is his Ultimatrix arm, that has 2 green spikes. Over his shirt is a grey, sleeveless vest with a collar and closed. He has grey, baggy pants with a green pouch strapped to his left leg. His hair is in a mohawk with 2 black markings under on his cheeks. He has steel plates with green stripes on his calves and right arm, that has a long black fingerless glove. His shoes are now steel-toed boots with a spike plate on his right, which is part of his calf plate, which has a black and green strap attached to it. He has green wrappings on his biceps and left forearm. He lastly has a spike plate on his glove hand. Both kids have a laser tag vest and a laser gun.
"MAN! These outfits are killer, Gwen!" "Thank you, oh cousin of mine." Gwen starts moving like a ninja as Ben runs behind her. "You should thank my pen pal from Paris! She came up with the designs when I mentioned Laser Tag outfits to her, a while back. I just followed the instructions." They both stop near a center platform. "What's her name?" Ben asks as Gwen replies after some thought. "Her name is Marinette Dupain-Chang, I believe. Plus, I got the ninja idea from binge-watching a lot of Naruto. It's an addictive anime." Gwen mentions out as she scratches behind her neck.
"Anyway, here's the plan: You hold him, I blast him. And we have this place to ourselves." Ben grins out. Just then, steam erupts from the platform as Billy rises from it, now decked in a gold-colored jumpsuit with a laser gun in a holster. He slurps on a smoothie cup as he brushes his red cape aside. "Here I am Tennyson! HAHAHA! What are your outfits? A hobo and a robe?"
"They're a wasteland warrior and ninja, Billions! You're going down!" Ben cries back as the heroes point their laser guns at him with smirks. "Actually, it's me and my friends." Billy hops onto the hand of a humanoid robot with black domes with pixel faces. Just as things couldn't get worse, more bots appeared from the fog. "Billy's friends."
The Tennyson cousins got 'oh-no' looks as they realized that they were outnumbered and outgunned. "Run like chickens?" "Run like Chickens!" Gwen mumbles as she throws down a smoke bomb, escaping with her cousin as Billy hollers out. "BLAST THEM!"
The 2 kids managed to run and hide, but not without getting a few hits from the drones, making Billy's team score rise to 100 points. Ben and Gwen ducks behind a staircase as Billy and his bots walk by. "Oh, Tennyson! Get ready to board the train to Loser town for 5 whole, laser-tag-less years!" "NO FAIR! Robots weren't part of the deal!" Ben calls out as Billy sneaks behind him with a party blower and singly answers. "~Should have read the fine print~." He blows the blower in Ben's face as the bots phrase him. Ben grabs it and stomps on it, but Billy merely shrugs it off. The sibling then runs as Billy's bots fire at them. Billy's score rose even higher "Green team surging."
Ben and Gwen managed to lose them as they kept running. "Great! We're never going to play Laser Tag until we're teens! And it's all your fault!" "MY FAULT!? You were the one who made the bet! WAIT!" They both stop as Ben dials the Ultimatrix. "We do have friends! 10 of them!" FLASH
Ben morphed into Cannonbolt but got some changes. He now has green bandages on his biceps and the same black cheek markings. His plates are now steel and have a single, green spike on the forearm and shoulder plates as green wrapping covers his feet while his thigh plates have green stripes. He lastly has green wrappings around his torso and a mohawk of spikes. "WHOA! Looks like Cannonbolt got a makeover, too!" "I know, right?! Time to rock and roll!" The alien grins out.
Billy and his bots kept looking for the enemy team. "Find Tennyson, now!" "HEADS UP!" Cannonbolt soars by, bouncing off a guitar and smashing into the bots, destroying them one by one. While Gwen flips through the air and lands, firing shots from his laser gun as well. "Blue Team surging."
Thanks to their teamwork, they managed to take out 4 of the bots and made a huge lead on the scoreboard. "Why are you letting them win?!" "What do we do Billy? We need orders!" "It's simple: Get your metal rears into gear and kick some loser butt!" ZAP Billy froze and looked down to see he got shot. Of course, that did not make him happy. "YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO SHIELD ME! YOU STUPID TINCAN!" He starts smacking his bot as they cry out. "Sorry, Billy, but they're too powerful! We lost 4 of us! RETREAT! RETREAT!" The bots run away. "WHAT?! NO! STOP! GRRRR!" Billy glares back as Ben times out. "Come on, Ben! Let's find some cover!" Gwen cries out as they both run off.
Frowning, Billy turns and yells at his robots. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" "SCARED! RETREAT! ROUND THING POWERFUL!" Billy facepalms and shouts out. "Tennyson changed back! Which means he's an easy target! So, let's get them now, so my birthday doesn't get ruined because you guys are supposed to be my friends and help me win!" "We are Billy's friends." The robot got back up. "Finally! Now come on! Follow me!" They all run as Billy leads them from his bot.
Ben and Gwen both had their blaster out as they watched every corner of their eyes for Billy. "Time for round 2 of Billy butt-kicking!" "Wait! Do you hear something?" Gwen tries to find the noise, but can't cause of the fog. "2 MORE AT 10 O-CLOCK!" Gwen turns to see Ben aiming at something. But she saw something in the mist. "BEN! WAIT!" Her cousin opens fire, only for his blast to bounce back and hits him in the chest, sending him on his butt. "OW! What the!?" "It's a mirror, doofus!"
She lowers the smoke away to reveal a reflective wall. Ben was shocked as he stood up. "How did you know?!" "It's called 'using your brain.' Maybe if you turn Grey Matter more, some of his smarts can finally rub off on you." Ben got annoyed at his smug cousin. "Yeah, I get it! You're smarter than me." Billy slides in from an open door behind them. "GOT YOU!" The cousins look back and gasp as the spoiled kid and his bot army appear. "OPEN FIRE!" The kids ran down a hall as the bots gained. "TENNYSON! MUST! LOSE! NOW!"
The kids screeched to a stop as more bots appeared in front of them. "Uh-oh." "Don't worry! I got—" A claw grabs Ben's left hand and does the same to his other and his cousin's, pinning them against the wall as Billy walks up and laughs. "HEY! THAT'S NOT FAIR! YOU'RE CHEATING!" Ben cries out as Billy waves it off.
"Please! Everyone knows nice guys finish last! Did you 2 think you can beat my robots?" He takes another drink of his smoothie, noticing his bots were just standing. "What are you waiting for? FIRE!" The robots open fire, blasting the siblings as Billy's team score rises. "Green Team surging. New high score." Ben struggles as he moves his left hand, but he manages to slam it against the wall.
FLASH Four Arms breaks free and grabs a bot, lifting it and throwing it at the others to knock them down. He then grabs 2 more by their claws and smashes them against each other, then slams the rest of them down and frees his cousin as well. "GET THEM, BEN!"
The alien now has silver steel shoulder plates with green spikes as they are connected to a black and green sash that goes into a 't-shape' that also goes down to his belt, which is white with green steel spikes around it. The Ultimatrix symbol is at the center of the sash on his chest. His outfit is now a sleeveless black jumpsuit with green bandages wrapped around his thighs, biceps, calves, feet, and forearms. His gloves remain the same while his white cuffs become metal with green spikes and now has spiked knuckles dusters of the same colors on all 4 hands. His calves have flat steel plates on them with green lines and his knees have small spiked pads and his crab armor is now steel spiked plates as well. His lower shoulder armor is now steel and has green bolts on them. His head has the same cheek markings and his black strip on top has become a spiky mohawk that sweeps back.
The scorers were tied when Gwen blasted them as the siblings high-fived each other as the girls smugly asked. "Well? Billy?" The rich kid was furious at his bots. "YOU USELESS PIECES OF JUNKS!" "But... Billy." Billy was hopping in anger as he yelled out loud. "YOU'RE RUINING MY BIRTHDAY!" "But… We're trying our best." "TRYING!? TRYING!? THE ONLY THING YOU'RE TRYING IS MAKING ME LOSE! YOU'RE JUST MACHINES, WHO ARE GOING TO CLEAN THE TANKS ON MY YACHT WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU!" He splashes his drink on his bots in anger, making them shorts out.
Billy started breathing heavily as the cousins were silent. "That… Was harsh." "Jeeze, Billy. Ever heard of anger management classes?" The alien asks. But just then, the robots start glowing red and spark lightning. "WHAT!?" The 3 backs up as a flash of red light occurred. The robots start getting up, only their faces turn red and they are angry. "Party's over." "Excuse me?! I'm the one who decides when the party's over!" "We no longer take orders from you or any human." Billy merely scoffs and points his finger at the robot, unaware that its arm turns red. "Don't be dolts! Of course, you do! I own you! You belong-"
ZAP SPLAT Billy was frozen as he was covered in his smoothie's remains before screaming like a girl. He runs behind Four Arms as the bot tells the others. "BROTHERS! It is time to rise against the humans! Set lasers to disintegrate!" All arms turn red and point at the 3 as the alien quickly grabs them and leaps up, while Gwen cries out. "DISINTEGRATE!?" FLASH All 3 kids land in above air vent. "Come on! Let's move!" Gwen calls as she starts crawling away followed by her cousin. Billy also moved, as motivated by a few lasers.
"YOU 2 RUINED MY BIRTHDAY! I WANT A BETTER PARTY RIGHT NOW!" Billy bangs his fist on the ducts as Ben gets annoyed. "Dude! Chill! You don't always get what you want when you want." Ben opens his eyes in shock as he and his cuz realize he said the same thing Max said. "Did you say that?" Ben smiles and shrugs at Gwen. "WHAT THE!?" The kids look through a grate as Max and the employee are cornered by the bots. "What are you doing?! You're breaking the rules!" "First the party! Then the world." "Why do I have the feeling the kids are involved in this?" Max groans out.
"Grandpa!" Gwen got shoved aside by Billy. "MY PRESENTS!" Ben quickly gags and pulls Billy back. "Look! As much as I don't like you, brat! We need to work together on this one." "Together?! I never team up with 2 losers!" "If we don't, you're going to lose a lot more than just presents!" Billy growls in rage but gives in. "Fine!"
"We need to get out of here!" Max said to the man. "But… I need to enforce the rules! You are all banned from Laser Town!" A robot points its laser at them, only for the grate to fall on it. As it looks up, the kids stomp on it. They all quickly run behind the counter as the adults hide behind the down robot. "My presents!" "Billy! Get back here!" But the rich kid ignores Ben, grabs one, and sits down, tearing the top off.
Ben and Gwen notice something about the presents. "Are those presents wrapped in real gold?" Billy got a straight face as he answered the tween girl. "I'm Billy Billions. Of course, it's wrapped in real gold." Gwen looks over the counter as lasers keep flying. "Grandpa and the worker are pinned down! We got to do something!" The girl spoke out as lasers kept coming.
Ben notices that some of the lasers are reflecting off the presents, making him remember a certain alien that can make hard, shiny things. "Gwen, I'm about to use my brain. Just jump out when I give the say! And grab some presents!" Ben exclaims as he leaps over and starts running. "What?" "Presents!? You mean my presents!?" Ben runs off to another area as Max notices and asks out. "Where's Ben going?!" Gwen cries back. "He said he was going to use his brain!" The robots kept firing as they quickly ducked down. FLASH They turn around to see a glowing light coming from the center of the arena as Diamondhead raises from a stand while mist comes out as well.
Like the others, he got a new Mad Max look. His jumpsuit is now all black while the white collar is gone and the soles and belt are still the same. He now has silver and green-spike shoulder pads with green and silver straps in a cross with the Ultimatrix in the middle of it. He now has 3 spikes on his head in a Mohawk. He has green bandages on his lower arms, calves, and thighs with the same pads on the thighs and knees. He also has spiked pads on his feet.
"HEY CUEBALLS! COME AT ME!" "Ben! I don't think that's smart!" Gwen cries out as Diamondhead makes an arch with his crystals as the bots fire. "IT'S NOT SMART! IT'S SCIENCE!" The lasers bounced off him and into the arc, making a zig-zag pattern that was able to stop the lasers from spreading any fires. He then moves his hands to focus the lasers. "BILLY! GWEN! PRESENTS!"
"Okay, Billy! Let's go!" "NO! They're my presents!" Gwen grabs the kid by his shoulders. "Billy! Remember the agreement!" As soon as the girl says that Billy groans out. "FINE!" They both grabbed a box and started running to the sides.
Diamondhead redirects the lasers, making them bounce to the boxes, that reflect to the bots, destroying them. After the bots were destroyed, Diamondhead took care of any small fires and used his crystal powers to repair the structures. He then walks towards Billy. "I never thought I say this…" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH "… But good teamwork!" Ben holds his hand out to shake. Billy smiles and is about to grab it when… "The match will end in a tie in 5… 4… 3…" Both kids were surprised by the computer and glared at each other, forgetting the truce and leaping back from each other.
They both whipped out their blaster and fired, only for the game to be over and the scores were tied. "DARN IT!" They both cry out as they are frustrated. "Great! Now, not only I didn't beat Tennyson! But my presents are ruined, the cake's destroyed, and my robots turned against me for some odd reason! And I had a lousy birthday! COULD THIS GET ANY WORST!?" Ben slaps his forehead and cries out. "Dude, you're not supposed to yell that out loud! Because every time someone says that, things can and will get worse!" Billy scoffs out. "Really? Like what?"
"YOU!" The angry manager ran up to Billy and pointed to him. "You are banned from any Laser Town establishment!" Billy faints in shock as Ben rolls his eyes and mumbles as his cousin walks up. "You try to warn some people and they don't listen..." Gwen mumbles out as well. "Tell me about it."
The man turns to the Tennysons and softens his expression. "But you 2 saved my place and fixed all the damage! Thanks." "No problem!" "You're welcome." The kids smile. "As a reward: 2 summer passes to any Laser Town Establishment!" He hands them 2 cards as the kids get excited. "LASER TOWN FOREVER!" Max chuckles at his grandkids. "That's my grandkids."
