Ben 10 Ultimate Hero EP 31: Zombozo-Land
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 drove down a road as they were heading to their next stop on the trip as the moon shone down from the night sky. "Just a couple of more minutes and we'll be there!" Max calls out as the kids are practically bouncing in their seats. "Come on, Grandpa! Hurry up!" "Yeah! Please go faster! Please?!" Gwen grins out with her cousin. "All right, settle down, you 2. We're almost there." The kids squealed in excitement as they passed a sign that said 'Adrenaworld'. The RV finds an open spot as the kids chattered in joy, really thrilled about tonight. The door opened as the kids rushed down the steps. "THIS IS SO AWESOME!" "THANK YOU, GRANDPA!"
Max chuckles as he scratches his neck in confusion. "I appreciate all the phrases. But what's the big deal? You've both been to Adrenaland before." Gwen explains "It's not Adrenaland anymore, they remodeled it!" "It's Adrenaworld! The new and improved 24-hour amusement park!" Ben explains as the kids run in and Gwen drags Max along. They stopped at the park's center to look around. "Huh? Looks the same to me." Max mumbles out. "Well, the mascots are new." The girl points at some clown-themed ones. As Ben was looking around, he saw something out of the ordinary and familiar.
The person is a young 10-year-old girl who has pale skin and black paint on her cheeks and the back of her head. She wears a black tight-fitting jumpsuit with yellow stripes on the arms and black fingerless gloves that are a part of the sleeves. She has bluish-violet eyes. She also wears a pair of black shoes. But the thing that stood out the most is that she has multiple long cybernetic red tentacles fixed on her head that allow her to control them, as shown when she is using them to juggle balls and has black orbs at the tips. This is Frightwig, a young meta-human girl and solo supervillain whom Ben has fought before.
"WHOA! Freak alert! That's Frightwig!" Ben exclaims as he shakes his cousin, who stops him as she glances around. "Frightwig, where?" "She's—huh?" The boy looked back but couldn't find her in the crowd of smiling people. "Where did she go? She was right there!" Gwen sighs out as she tells him. "Look, I want to ride some rides and you do too! Can't we go and have some fun, instead of causing trouble and getting us kicked out?" Ben groans as he exclaims. "Why do I have to be the responsible one around here?!" "You'll thank me later." Gwen deadpans
"Enough standing around, you 2! Let's go!" Max and Gwen ran off. "I want to ride the Shock Tower first!" Ben stays behind and sighs, rubbing his hand through his hair and looks around and sees Frightwig along with a muscular, grey-skinned guy with a toenail on his head going around a corner, making the boy narrow his eyes in suspicion. As much as he doesn't want to, his 'Ben-tuition' is telling him to follow them. And it's never been wrong before, so he ran after the 2. Besides, he would jump at the chance to prove he is right to his smarty-pants cousin.
"So how are we going to know that thing won't mess with us?" Frightwig questions out as the muscleman answers. "Relax! The boss said we're immune!" The person tapping on the bottom of his foot is a 21-year-old male that is big. He has a massive, bulky figure with a massive nail on his forehead. He wears black overalls over a gray shirt with several black stripes on each arm and has purple and black wristbands. His skin is pale, and he has black shoes with blue soles. This is Thumbskull, a strong, but dim meta-human with super strength that can almost rival Four Arms.
"Stop chattering! The boss wants the Hypno Tower up and running before midnight, tonight!" " A 3rd person said. He is a 16-year-old teen who is tall and lanky. He has pale skin. He has red eyes with different-sized pupils and two stands of black hair. Most of his teeth are missing as he is wearing an outfit that is black with bright yellow stripes on his arms. This is Acid Breath, a teenage meta-human with an attitude, who can spit out acid from his mouth as either a vapor or liquid and the current leader for the moment.
He closes the panel on a tall, yellow machine with a purple-colored disc on top. "You set up the relay near the water ride!" Thumbskull went off as Acid Breath orders Frightwig. "And you rookie, go finish the relay near the ferries wheel! I'll take the one under the coaster!" "I'm on it!" She cries out as she lets her hair carry her away while Acid Breath runs off.
Ben climbs out of his hiding space in the merry-go-round, behind a rocket ship and mumbles out. "'Relays?' 'Hypno Tower?' Whatever they're planning, it does not sound good! I've got to figure out a way to follow all of them at once." His watch beeped, making the boy smile as he realizes a way. "Good idea!" FLASH
At the 'Tsunami Vortex', The big guy was working on another Relay tower near the slide end as XLR8 peeks out from behind the tube. "Oh, man! Oh, man! Oh, man! Tsunami Vortex! NO! The time for fun is later!"
He zips off and follows Frightwig to another one near a Ferries wheel. XLR8 peeks out from the roof of a nearby stand. "I wonder what they are up to?" He notices the cool ride, getting tempted to ride it. "Oh, Mega Mondo Ferries Wheel! NO! No! Focus, Ben! Got to stop the bad guys."
He speeds off to the roller coaster. He hides behind some pipes as Acid Breath works on a 4th one. "Oh! Monster Coaster! Need to—NO!" He shakes his head to get it into the game. "Got to figure out what they're up to! I better find Grandpa Max and Gwen." He shuts his visor and zooms off to find his family.
"Look, Grandpa! No line!" Gwen cried in excitement as they ran up to the tower. But just as they reached the base, a sign of a red circle with a cross in it was placed at the entrance. "WHAT!? CLOSED!? But the Shock Tower is the best ride!" Gwen whines out as Max chuckles. ""Hahaha… Now you're starting to sound like Ben! Speaking of, where is he?" Gwen realizes as well that she hasn't seen or heard from her cousin at all. "Weird... Missing out on fun cool rides? That's not Ben at all."
Just then, a familiar laughter is heard as the ring travels down. Max and Gwen look up as Zombozo reveals himself while giggling creepyly. "TA-DAAAA"! The 2 were surprised by the appearance of the clown villain. "ZOMBOZO! There were villains at the park! Ben is never going to let me down…" Gwen facepalms in annoyance as Max calls out. "Don't tell me you're the new management of Adrenaland?!"
"Adrenaworld, old man! And the world is exactly what I'm going to control when I'm through here!" He pulls down a leaver, making the platform rise as he calls out. "You 2 have the honor of witnessing the grand reopening of… THE HYPNO TOWER!" Zombozo pulls out a microphone and speaks in it. "And lucky for you, you're the first in line! HAHAHAHA!" He taps into the P.A. System, getting everyone's attention. "Attention! Attention Parkgoers! Zombozo speaking! Having trouble deciding which ride to go on next? Well, The Hypno Tower is the clear choice! Mostly because…"
He pulls on another leaver, making the top of the tower glow pink "...IT'S YOUR ONLY CHOICE! WAHAHAHA!" All the lights and power went off throughout the park and the people got confused and scared. Rides were shutting down one by one as XLR8 looked in horror. "MEGA MONDO FERRIES WHEEL! MONSTER COASTER! TSUNAMI VORTEX! NOO!" He narrows his eyes in anger as he glances at the tower, which has streams of pink lights connecting to the relays. "Now it's personal, Zombozo!" He dashes off.
A beam of pink light hits a person, making the others look at him concerned. "I… Feel… Funny." He lowers his head down, only for it to rise as his face twists into a creepy grin with glowing pink eyes. Max and Gwen saw another person get hit, only for the same thing to happen. "We've got to get out of here!" That was all Gwen could say before they got engulfed in the beam as well. Zombozo chuckles at his plan in motion. "You can't run or hide! First Adrenaworld! Then the entire world! HAHAHAHA!"
Back on the ground, XLR8 rushes to the scene, looking for his cousin and grandfather. "Gwen! Grandpa! I was right! Where are you?!" Just then, a beam starts moving towards him, making the alien quickly run around to avoid it. The beam keeps following him as he avoids the people. Just then, he crashes into a woman as the beam hits, making the cloud dust. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH
Ben got up and rubbed his head, quickly gasping and looking at himself. "WHEW! I'm still me." He notices the woman behind him and taps her shoulder. "Hey, miss? Are you okay?" The zombified woman turns back with a creepy grin, scaring the boy onto his feet. "GAAHH! Okay, you're not! I've got to take out those Relays before another beam tries at me!" He then ran off to find the freaks, hoping to also find the Relay Towers as well.
Acid Breath was inspecting the wires of another Relay, satisfied to find everything in order. "Everything looks fine. Guess our job is done." He said as Frightwig sealed the panel. "THERE YOU GUYS ARE!" "Who are you supposed to be?" The big guy said as Frightwig turned around and was surprised by a familiar face. "TENNYSON?! YOU'RE HERE!?" "That's right! I'm the guy who's going to kick your butts—" ZAP Ben was blasted by a beam, making him dazed as Thumbskull smiles and dusts his hands off. "Well, that takes care of that. Great work, fellow freaks!" "FREAKS!?" "WHAT?! You guys are just going to leave him standing there!? He needs to be stopped!"
Ben was struggling to resist smiling, but he could feel the mind control starting to take over. "Need to… Fight it! Just… Got to…" He quickly headbutts the Ultimatrix. FLASH
Ben felt the device fused into his arm as his body became bigger and more bloated. He starts growing hard shells on his arms and back as his head fuses with his torso and becomes rounder. He then flashed open his changed eyes as he rolled in place and landed with a thud, fully transformed into Cannonbolt.
"Why are you so concerned about this guy? Is he your boyfriend?" Acid Breath questions as Frightwig gets a disgusted look. "WHAT?! GROSS! He's just this kid who always foiled my plans when I was solo! Every time!"
The big guy laughs. "HAHA! This runt?! How can such a little pipsqueak beat you time and time before? Me and Acid Breath could stop him with one arm tied behind our backs!" "Good one! Thumbskull! HAHAH!" Acid Breath chuckles as the 2 hi-five as Frightwig gets annoyed. "The reason he was able to beat me before is because—" CRASH The 3 turn to see Cannonbolt bowls pass them and smash the Relay into scrap. "Sorry about crashing in! Actually, no I'm not!" He smirks at both destroying the machine and escaping mind control as Frightwig gets a deadpanned face. "…He can turn into aliens with superpowers. And he picked Cannonbolt, wonderful..."
"We can still take him!" Acid Breath spits a stream of green liquid at the alien, who dodges at it and hits a box, melting it as Cannonbolt notices. "Eww… I don't think a dentist is going to fix that." Acid Breath spits another stream of acid, only for the alien to roll out of the way and tackle him, sending him crashing back. "GRRR… I'm getting tired of Tennyson!" Frightwig charges at him while Thumbskull notices some steel pipes. Frightwig attacks with her hair, but the alien dodges by rolling around.
Just as Frightwig's hair came at him, he quickly grabbed them and rolled, hammer-tossing her away as she called out. "I HATE IT WHEN THIS HAPPENS!" Thumbskull charges at him from behind while swinging a pipe at Cannonbolt. "You're going down!" But the armor on his back was way stronger than a steel pipe, letting the pipe bounce off and smash Thumbskull's face, knocking him out and falling to the ground as Cannonbolt notices. "Now that's taken care of, I've got to knock out the rest of the relay stations and save the park! And everyone in it, as well!" He rolls off, crashing through the relays around the area and cutting off the streams as Zombozo notices. "What's going on?! The Hypno Tower is losing reach!" He lowers the ring as Cannonbolt confronts him.
"Give up, Zombozo!" "HAHAHA! You might have gotten to my Relays. But I still got plenty of my zombified Bozos right here!" He whistles loudly, attracting the hypnotized crowd as they surround the alien as he grins. "Seriously? You think they can hurt me when I'm like this?" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH
"Uhh… On second thought, I'll just go—" Ben saw some people blocking his way, making him turn around, only to find more zombies blocking him. "Uh-oh! Not good!" Some of them grab him as he struggles. "HEY!" "You lose, kid! With my Hypno energy, I will create an army of slaves, and rule the world! And there's nothing you can do to stop me!" Ben struggles and he tries to break free as more people crowd around him. He saw Gwen and Max among them, "NO! Grandpa Max! Gwen! Not you guys!"
Then, as if sensing Ben was in danger, the Ultimatrix recharges. "I won't let it end like this!" He breaks his arm away as he activates the cores. "Here goes!" FLASH Upgrade slips away and charges at the clown. "Upgrade to the rescue!" "WOW! And here I thought your aliens can't get any freakier." The alien kicks him in the gut as he leaps aboard. He tries to punch the villain, only for him to leap back and throw a rubber chicken at the hero, only for him to duck and look back.
"A rubber chicken? Are you sure you're a bad guy?" BOOOOMMM Upgrade looks back in shock as the chicken explodes when it lands. "What was in that thing, a bomb!?" "Stand still!" He tries to whack him with a giant hammer, only for Upgrade to turn into puddle form and slip away. As he reforms, Zombozo whips out more rubber chickens and throws them at Upgrade, but he uses his laser eye to blast them down. "No fair! Since when does the blob guy shoot lasers?!" "Since always! I just use it every once in a while." Upgrade shrugs out as he dodges more mallet swings and responds with a fist that knocks Zombozo back.
He looked down as he saw the crowd. "Right, the zombies! Got to stop the energy at the top and Upgrade is the alien to do it!" He then leaps onto the tower and starts melding with it, merging with its circuitry and machinery as he gains control over it. The lights then shut down as the ride came to a stop, much to Zombozo's shock. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY TOWER!?" "Just upgraded it to reverse zombie effects it caused! But don't worry, the ride will take your mind off it. Hang on tight!" "'The ride'? Uh-oh!" Zombozo had a horrible realization as some tentacles grabbed him and strapped him to a seat.
The ring went up to the top as rocket boosters activated, spinning the ring at super speeds as the clown screamed his head off. It went on for a while until he sent it crashing down to the ground, making the clown stumble out all dizzy-like. "All right! Let's get everyone back to normal!" Upgrade fires beams of green light, restoring the people to normal. Max shakes his head as Gwen rubs her cheeks. "What just happened?" "Felt like we were sleeping walking." The elder moans out.
Upgrade un-merges and runs up to the others. "GUYS! Zombozo had you under some spell and—WAIT! Where is he?!" Gwen saw him barfing in a trash can near a clown car as the Freaks stood around. "THERE!" Upgrade runs after them. The clown wipes his mouth and barks. "Quit dragging your feet and get in! We may have lost this time! But we'll live to fight another day!" He got in and drove the car away as fast as he could as Upgrade fired his laser eye, but the car swerved as it dodged them. "AW, MAN!" He narrows his eye ring in annoyance.
Ben was annoyed as he and his family were sitting in the rising Monster Coaster. "I can't believe I let them get away!" "You did great, Ben. You stopped Zombozo's plan and saved the park all by yourself." Max adds in as well. "I'm also proud as well! While we were all distracted by flashy rides and fun, you stayed focused on the real trouble!" Just as the ride reached the top, Ben got a smirk.
"Thanks, guys! But that's not all I'm proud of! That I was right, and you guys were WROOONNNGGG!" They all screamed out as they enjoyed the high speeds with the boy's hands in the air. "I WAS RIGHT!" The boy then later got a picture of the coaster from the cameras and labeled it 'the day I was right!'.
