Ben 10 Ultimate Hero EP 35: Need for Speed
I don't own anything except my OC's.
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 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 briefly phases through the number and floats 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 kid's sides, 5 on each side just as the title appears on a black background with green rays appearing from the title.
The Tennyson's RV was heading to camp out at the next stop on their road trip: Yellowstone National Park! "Ahhh… Just as beautiful as I remember." Max sighs in nostalgia as he stares at the park. The kids were looking something up on Gwen's Laptop as Max spoke to them. "Now, I know you 2 aren't excited about this place, since it's not a big exciting city, like New York, a few days ago, but—" "No way! We've been looking up things about Yellowstone all morning. We wanted to go there!" "Really?!" Max said joy at his Grandson wanting to learn and they want to enjoy something he likes.
"Yeah! Some people think a treasure is buried here. And if there's one thing that makes a trip exciting, it's treasure!" Ben explains with glee while Max is not sure about a rumor about a treasure from the internet being real. "Now, Ben. There's no literary treasure. It's probably a metaphor." "That's what they want you to think." The boy points out as Gwen adds in as she shows a bunch of tunnels underneath the park on her computer. "Yeah, but look at all these geysers! They are fueled by super-pressure water chambers that are superheated by a volcano. One well-placed Earthquake and this place is history!" "WHOA!" Ben blinks in surprise. "That's both scary, yet cool at the same time!" "That's Yellowstone at its finest, kids." Max smiles out with a chuckle.
The kids unload the camping gear from the RV. "You know, I feel good about camping today!" "Sure, you are…" Gwen replies with a smirk at Ben as she walks away as the boy looks around. "What are we doing here, again?!" Ben looks in the direction of the yell to see 2 female park rangers walk by him, but they don't look friendly, and one has an eyepatch. "I don't know! Something about treasure!" "Treasure?" Ben questions himself as he watches them walk away. "Don't yell it out loud! You want any cops to hear us?!" "But there are no cops!" The eyepatch woman snaps back at her partner.
The Ultimatrix welder studies the 2 as he is growing suspicious and quickly calls out. "Hey, Grandpa! I'm going to check something out!" "Okay, Ben! Don't go too far!" The elder responds as they both are busy setting things up, not seeing the boy run after the rangers.
The kid hides behind a set of cars, one of which is familiar, following the rangers into a station as a man lets them in. "They're going into the ranger station..." The boy peeks out to see the man take off his hat, revealing a familiar white-haired, masked racer. "LaGrange! Why is he here!?" The man hears the boy's voice and walks towards it. "Crude!" Thinking quickly, Ben slaps on the Ultimatrix, turning into Grey Matter, and slips behind a tire. The man noticed the flash and went to inspect, looking under a car as Grey Matter quietly stuck to the back of his head, without him knowing.
The man went back to the building as Grey Matter hopped off and stuck to a wall, climbing onto the window as he peered inside and listened to a meeting. "I am glad you are all here: The Malachi Sisters! Dirty Dobs! And Vin Ethanol!" Vin, a big, buff man with tattoos on his arms and rings on his fingers with a silver skull chain necklace and no hair is wearing a black tank top with blue jeans, a black belt with a silver buckle with a winged skull on it, and steel-toed boots, greets. "Yo!" The alien also noticed a short, smelly man, the 2 women from before, and a couple of rangers, tied up and gagged in a corner.
"Everyone, take a Map." The man passes out a few copies of a map. "The dotted line details the race course." "Yo! Doesn't this route go through miles of protected environmental habitats?" Vin ponders out. "Of course, it does!" LaGrange waves it off like it's nothing. "We will race through the gran seismic springs and then through the Geysers and the mud pots. And finally: Into an abandoned cavern! Where the legendary treasure of Yellowstone resides!"
Grey Matter gasps out. "The treasure is real!" "Hey, Ben." The alien yipped and quickly shut her cousin's mouth before their cover was blown! "Shush, Gwen! We don't want to get caught!" The girl takes his small hands off and asks. "By whom? The Rangers?" The alien points into the window, making the tween look in. "Oh… LaGrange... Got it! But what is he doing here?" "Listen. He'll explain." Grey Matter points out.
"How do we know there's any treasure down there?" Vin questions as the sisters taunt him. "Who cares?! Afraid your car can't handle the dirt?!" "Yeah! Are you some kind of chicken!?" "Listen! Real racing is in the streets!" Vin cries out as Dirty Dobs clucks like a chicken Vin glares at him. "Please, save your energy for the race. The treasure is there, but to get to it, you need to beat LaGrange, my friends." Vin responds. "I don't have friends! I have family..."
Grey Matter lands on the ground as he times out as he and Gwen talk to each other. "You were right, Ben! There is treasure at Yellowstone. And those guys are going to race for it!" "And if I can get there first... Hehehe…" Ben chuckles as he fantasizes.
"It's finally done!" Ben exclaims as he approaches a large, tarp-covered object. "I spent the gazillion dollars from the treasure of Yellowstone to make you: CY-DRAGON!" He pulls it off to reveal a giant, Red-eyes Black Dragon! Only it has metal wings, a lower tail with a spike ball on the tip, a robotic right leg and left arm and half its head is cybernetic. It also has rocket launchers built into its shoulders. The beast roars as it breathes fire and fires rockets and the boy is in awe. "Ben? Ben! BEN!"
The boy snapped out of it as Gwen pulled him into hiding against the wall. "Shhhh!" She quiets the boy as the racers exit the building and head to their rides, not noticing the kids. "Ready… set… RACE!" LaGrange cries out as they all speed off, smashing a few things on the way as the kids watch. Gwen then points out. "Ben, I think it's time for…. You know." The boy got a determined look as he activated the watch. "Right! This calls for some XLR8!" FLASH "Yeah! Uhh… I'm Diamondhead, aren't I?" "Yep." Diamondhead weakly adds out. "Get Grandpa and the Rust Bucket to help?" "Totally."
"So, we need to chase down a gang of illegal racers, led by LaGrange?" "Yeah, that's right..." Diamondhead responds as he sits crossed arm in the back of the Rust Bucket as his grandfather questions while the RV is chasing after the racers. "I see… Then why did you pick Diamondhead? XLR8 is a better option." "I don't want to talk about it." He mumbles as he looks away as Gwen explains. "He tried to, but the watch gave him Diamondhead, instead." "Ahh! I get it, now. Thanks, Gwen." Max nods in response.
After a few minutes of driving and Ben timing out, the gang saw all the damage to the park, caused by the racers' intensive competition. "Oh no! Look at this!" Max exclaims as they all see the destruction. "They're ruining the park! And looks like a few innocent people almost got run over by them as well." Max states as they noticed a few people, looking like they got knocked over, but all and all, sporting no serious injuries.
"Yeah! Which means, we need to beat LaGrange and his goons to a mine shaft they are going to for absolutely no reason at all." "Nice cover-up..." Gwen whispers to the boy as Max nods firmly. "Hang on!" He stomps the gas, makes the RV zoom through the mud pits, and catches up to the remaining 3 racers as they notice Vin's car was trashed and the driver himself, is being chased by a few rangers.
They all saw LaGrange pull ahead and drive in reverse, firing 2 missiles that stuck to the other racers. The drill was taken out as one of the sisters took the other missile out. "GRANDPA! LOOK OUT!" The Elder quickly dodged as they kept track. "That was close!" Gwen breaths out "I'll say! We need to stop those 2, Ben! Try XLR8 again! Cause we need some speed!" Max exclaims
The kid smirks as he dials in a different alien. "Actually, I'm thinking of an aerial assault!" FLASH Big Chill phased out and flew after the racers. "Time to give these guys the meaning of the word 'Frostbite!'" He breathes a frost beam on the truck exhaust pipes, alerting one of the sisters. "SHOO MOTH! THAT'S OUR TREASURE!" Big Chill dodges the gun and freezes it, grabbing the woman and flying off as the blocked pipes backed up, made the hood popped up. "What!? I can't see!" The hood flies off as the other woman screams at heading at a tree, only for Big Chill to grab her and flies out as the truck crashes.
Big Chill freezes the sisters' feet as the RV pulls up. "I'm going to catch up with LaGrange! You 2 stay here!" "We're on it, sport!" Max gives a thumbs up as Big Chill takes off. "Ben sure is on his game, today." Gwen comments. "And so selfless! Putting saving a national landmark first!" Max spoke out as he was proud of his grandson.
Big Chill grins as he rubs his hands together. "Treasure! OOHHH! Cy-Dragon!" LaGrange chuckles as he looks at his rearview mirror. "Looks like I'm all out of rivals! And I was looking forward to some competition." He pushes it up to see Big Chill. "WHAT!? IS THAT…" "License and registration, please!?" Big Chill grins as he flies next to him. "But seriously, that treasure is mine!" "Buzz off, Tennyson!"
"Fine! We'll do things the cold way!" Big Chill made his ice fists and smashed against the door, knocking it briefly as he clogged the car's pipes. "Surly you think that can stop LaGrange!?" He merely pushes a button, makes flames roar out and melt the ice, jetting forward. Big Chill narrows his eyes. BEEP BEEP BEEP "NO! NOT YET!" FLASH AAHHH!" SPLAT Ben glares up as he pounds the mud. "I'm going to get that treasure!"
LaGrange stops in front of the mine shaft, looking over his map when he sees Ben running up, panting as he knees. "The race isn't over yet, LaGrange!" "I assure you; this race is already over!" He deploys his go-kart and zooms into the shaft. "WHAT!?" Ben coughs at the dust cloud. FLASH Water Hazard runs in as he complains. "Water Hazard!? Looks like XLR8 isn't an option today!" He chases as he fires a a ball of water, hitting the back of the kart as it swerves a bit. "Nice try! But not enough!" "COME BACK HERE!" Water hazard cries as he propels himself, catching up with the man. "Give it up, LaGrange!" "Let's see you dodge these!" He tosses a grenade that sent Water Hazard crashing into a wall. "Oww… That cheater!"
He runs after the man again, only to stop at a ledge to see bubbling red water below as the alien exclaims. "WHOA! This isn't a cave! It's a geyser! Who would hide a treasure down here?" He backs up and rockets himself over to another cavern. 'WHAT!? IMPOSSIBLE!" The illegal racer cries out as Water Hazard gains on him. He fires some rockets as the alien threw some water stars to slice and destroy them, but the explosion sent him tumbling through another jump and into another cavern, making him stand and rub his hood. "Oh, he's going to get it!"
"One more jump and the treasure is mine! I am the ultimate racing champion!" Water Hazard bumps into him while crying out. "Hey! You're Italian, right? How do you say, 'you're slow' in it?" The man growls as he bumped back, only to get hit harder and sent spinning and flipping over a ledge. "Oops! I might have hit him too hard!" He looks over to see the kart crashing into the Geyser as the man hangs on a cliff.
"CURSE YOU, TENNYSON!" But just then, the cave shook as rocks fell, rumbling as the water boiled. "Oh, boy!" Water Hazard flew over, dodging the debris when he noticed a chest full of gold coins! "WHOA! The treasure!" He lands near it as he gazes in awe. "It's real! It's so amazing!" But then, he turns to see LaGrange was slipping. Water Hazard noticed the collapsing cavern and realized he only had enough time to save one thing and was torn between the treasure and a helpless person.
"This place is going to blow! I only have enough time to grab one! But which?! The treasure or LaGrange!?" He looks back and forth, unsure what to do. "WILL YOU HURRY UP!?" "DON'T RUSH ME!" Water Hazard looks at the chest and daydreams.
Ben was laughing as he rode Cy-Dragon through the skies, cheering as he laughed while the beast breathed fire with a smile. But just then, a force knocks Ben off and he falls, pleading to the beast as it turns with a sad look in its eyes. "CY-DRAGONNNNNN!"
Water Hazard groans in dismay. "I'm going to hate myself in the morning for this." Water Hazard rockets down and grabs the falling man, jetting upward and blasting out as the Geyser blows. "Don't drop me!" The illegal racer cries out as Water Hazard lands near his family and the park rangers. The rangers prey off and cuffs LaGrange. "Well, that's the last one! Lock this troublemaker up!" A female told her partner as they walked to a police wagon. "BEN! Way to go!" Max exclaims.
"Did you get the treasure?" Gwen questions as Water Hazard times out. "Nah! I only had enough time to save LaGrange. Even he doesn't deserve to be boiled alive." Gwen responds. "Oh, yeah. That would be bad." But suddenly, the treasure chest lands in front of the boy, making the kids gasp in awe! "THE TREASURE!" Gwen cries out as Ben approaches it in awe. "Whoa! It must have survived the geyser! I FOUND IT! FINDERS KEEPERS!"
Max adds in. "Actually, the 'finders keepers' rule doesn't apply on government property." "WAIT!? WHO WITH THE WHAT NOW!?" Ben cries out in shock as the ranger approaches. "You're grandfather's right, kid! That rule doesn't work in this kind of situation! And that treasure would be good for fixing the damage caused by LaGrange and his racers. But don't worry: Since you helped find it, you get to keep a few coins, for a souvenir!"
A male ranger took out 6 gold coins and placed 3 in each kid's hand while he took the chest and rest away as Ben moans out. "Cy-dragon." Gwen pockets her coins as she places a hand on her cousin. "Isn't it great, Ben? Everything works out okay! You stopped the bad guys and saved the day while rescuing a national Monument! And even got a cool souvenir out of it." "But I only got a tiny piece of the treasure." Max came over and rubbed his grandson's head. "Actually, Ben! You did find a much better treasure: The beauty of Yellowstone!" As the family gazes up on the view while the wagon drives away, Ben is bored as he mumbles and shrugs. "Yeah… I still don't get it."
