I'M A VINE.
PANZIKIDIG METALALURKA!
[ BEEP ]

[ BEEPING ]
YOU'VE JUST BEEN GROUNDED.

THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS A STORY CAN BEGIN,
JUST AS THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS IT CAN END.
AND FOR BEN TENNYSON, THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE STORIES.
AW, MAN, CAN'T THIS THING GO ANY SLOWER?
IF WE GO ANY SLOWER,
WE'LL MISS THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.
DUH!
THAT'S THE POINT, BRAINIAC.
DON'T WANT THE SUMMER TO END, SPORT?
WHAT, SO I CAN GO BACK TO MY NORMAL,
BORING LIFE IN TOTAL NORMAL, BORING BELLWOOD?
NORMAL SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD TO ME.
FROM NOW ON, THE ONLY SPELLING
I WANT TO DO IS IN COMPOSITION CLASS.
WELL, WHILE YOU'RE HITTING THE BOOKS,
I'LL BE HITTING THE BAD GUYS.
I BET THE LOCAL COPS COULD USE FOUR HANDS
OR A TAIL OR SOME WINGS ON THE JOB.
BEN, I'M AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO KEEP THE OMNITRIX
OUR SECRET FOR NOW.
THE LESS PEOPLE KNOW, THE BETTER.
EVEN MOM AND DAD?
YEAH, AFRAID SO.
FROM SUPERHERO BACK TO PLAIN OLD SUPER GEEK.
HAVE FUN BACK AT SCHOOL.
WELL, THERE IS ONEGOOD THING ABOUT MY SCHOOL.
WHAT?
YOU DON'T GO THERE!
I WANT YOU TO KNOW,
THIS SUMMER MAY NOT HAVE TURNED OUT THE WAY I PLANNED,
BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED A SINGLE SECOND OF IT.
ME NEITHER, GRANDPA.
THANKS.
THANK YOU.
YOU GAVE THIS OLD PLUMBER NEW LIFE.
IT WAS AN HONOR FIGHTING SIDE BY SIDE WITH YOU,
BENJAMIN TENNYSON.
YOU WEREN'T SO BAD YOURSELF.
[ BARKS ]
[ LAUGHING ]
BEN!
HEY...DAD.
SON, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HEY, UNCLE CARL, AUNT SANDRA!
HI, GWEN.
HEY, UNCLE CARL, AUNT SANDRA!
BUT I HOPE HIS PERSONALITY GREW ON YOU THIS SUMMER.
I SUPPOSE ONE OR TWO OF THEM WEREN'T ALL THAT DISGUSTING.
GOT A NEW JOB, DAD -- CITY ENGINEER.
THAT'S GREAT.
WANT TO COME IN?
WELL, I'D LIKE TO, BUT I PROMISED FRANK
AND LILY I'D HAVE GWEN HOME HOURS AGO.
AND YOU REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU.
DID HE SHARE SOME OF HIS FAMOUS PLUMBER WISDOM WITH YOU, BEN?
UH...HOW DO YOU --
YOUR GRANDPA NEVER FAILED TO RELATE EVERYTHING TO A SOCKET
WRENCH OR A PIPE.
YOUR GRANDPA NEVER FAILED TO RELATE EVERYTHING TO A SOCKET
TO DEAL WITH.
SO, I GUESS I'LL...
Both: SMELL YA AROUND!
I'D SAY I'D MISS YOU, BUT...
Both: I WOULDN'T WANT TO LIE.
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ WHIMPERS ]
WELL, THAT'S NEW.
OH, THIS DUMB THING?
I GOT IT AT SOME ARCADE.
I FORGOT IT WAS EVEN ON MY WRIST.
JUST THE WAY YOU LEFT IT, BEN.
NOW PLEASE CLEAN IT UP.
I DON'T CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES.
NOT LONG AT ALL.
[ BEEPING ]
[ BOOM! ]
NOW TO SCORE SOME BROWNIE POINTS.
YOU NOT ONLY CLEANED UP YOUR ROOM,
BUT TOOK OUT THE TRASH, PICKED UP THE LEAVES, ■
ANDSTRAIGHTENED UP THE GARAGE ALL BEFORE DINNER?
YEP.
AND SINCE TIME IS MONEY,
I THINK IT'S TIME YOU DOUBLED MY ALLOWANCE.
UH...GOOD POINT, BUT WITH ALL THIS TIME ON YOUR HANDS,
I'M SURE YOU WOULDN'T MIND ADDING ONE MORE DUTY.
[ BARKS ]
BACKYARD POOPY PICKUP.
[ SLURPS ] UGH!
MAYBE YOU COULD COME TO WORK WITH ME AFTER SCHOOL.
THE NATURAL-GAS PIPELINE WE'RE LAYING IS QUITE FASCINATING.
SURE SOUNDS...FASCINATING.
YOU WANT ME TO WALK YOU --
NO!
I-I MEAN, IT'S COOL, DAD.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
YOU SAVED THE WORLD ALL SUMMER, DUDE.
HOW TOUGH CAN 5th GRADE BE?
LIKE, OH, MY GOSH!
MY TOTAL FAVE'S THE FLAME GUY.
YOU KNOW, MY COUSIN WAS IN THAT BURNING BUILDING WHEN HE, LIKE,
RESCUED EVERYONE.
YEAH, HE WAS OKAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE OTHERS?
LIKE THAT HUGE DUDE.
I DOWNLOADED THIS AWESOME CLIP OF HIM BATTLING SOME FREAK ON
THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.
WHAT'S HIS NAME -- QUAD HANDS?
FOUR ARMS!
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
I'M PRETTY TIGHT WITH HIM.
UH...YEAH, RIGHT.
[ SPLAT! ]
[ SNIFFS ]
UGH!
[ SNIFFS ]
THIS IS A SHAKEDOWN.
GET IT, LOSER?
HEY!
LET IT GO!
NO PROB.
[ SPLAT! ]
[ LAUGHTER ]
[ BELL RINGING ]
WHOA.
[ BELL RINGING ]
I ATTENDED THIS MAGIC CONVENTION IN LAS VEGAS
WHEN THIS GIANT ALIEN DOG SUDDENLY APPEARED ONSTAGE.
OH, YES, I HEARD ABOUT HIM.
ACTUALLY, YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE MY BLOG ABOUT RECENT ALIEN
SIGHTINGS, ESPECIALLY MY FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF A SINEWY,
PLANT-LIKE CREATURE SAVING A MALL IN MINNESOTA.
HMM.
PLANT-LIKE CREATURE SAVING A MALL IN MINNESOTA.
WHAT DID YOU DO THIS SUMMER?
ME?
WELL, I...UH...
RODE AROUND IN AN R.V. WITH MY GRANDPA AND COUSIN.
[ SNICKERS ]
AND I THOUGHT ■ WEWERE NERDS.
I GOT PETERSON.
ARNOLD!
LET'S PLAY DODGEBALL!
[ BOOM! ]
AAH!
UGH!
COULD THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE?
[ WARBLING ]
WHAT DO THOSE THINGS WANT?
[ BEEPING ]
[ BEEPING INTENSIFIES ]
[ ALL SCREAMING ]
AAAAAAAAH!
GOING HERO.
[ BOOM! ]
THAT WAS THE SAME DUDE WHO WAS AT THE LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD
SERIES!
HOW DID HEGET HERE?
[ EXPLOSION ]
OUR HERO!
EVERYONE, CLEAR OUT.
I'VE GOT IT HANDLED.
THIS IS JUST BETWEEN US, SO BRING IT ON!
BEHIND YOU! LOOK OUT!
HEY, WHERE'D TENNYSON GO?
I THOUGHT HE WAS FRIENDS WITH THAT SHINY GUY.
HE'S PROBABLY HIDING UNDER THE BLEACHERS, BEING A BABY.
YOU'RE ICED.
PICKED UP A SIGNAL.
DRONES WERE IN THE AREA.
THINK VILGAX SENT THEM?
[ BEEPING ]
WHAT'S HEDOING HERE?
UH, BEN TOLD ME IT WAS "BRING YOUR GRANDFATHER TO SCHOOL" DAY.
DID HE ALSO TELL YOU HE HID
IN THE CAFETERIA WHILE ALL THE ACTION WAS GOING DOWN?
YOU THINK I WAS HIDING?
THOSE THINGS CAME FOR ME.
AND THOSE ALIEN HEROES EVERYONE'S BEEN TALKING
ABOUT AT SCHOOL, THEY'RE --
[ CLEARS THROAT ]
THEY'RE...PRETTY COOL, I GUESS.
YEAH, UNLIKE YOU.
NO WAY THOSE THINGS WOULD WANT YOU.
THEY DON'T EAT CHICKEN.
KEEPING A SECRET IS NEVER EASY.
TRUST ME.
EVERY DAY, I WANTED TO TELL YOUR GRANDMA AND OUR KIDS THE TRUTH.
WELL, MAYBE IF YOU HAD,
YOU AND DAD WOULD GET ALONG BETTER NOW.
YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE PAST, BEN.
SPEAKING ABOUT THE PAST, I FORGOT TO GIVE THIS TO YOU
THE OTHER DAY -- YOUR SUMMER SOUVENIRS.
COOL!
[ DOOR OPENS ]
SOMEONE MUST BE HOME.
YOU COMIN' IN?
CAN'T.
YOU COMIN' IN?
WELL, DO YOU MISS HER YET?
HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT HER ONCE.
[ GASPS ]
HELLO, BEN.
YOUR FATHER AND I WERE JUST GETTING TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER.
[ GULPS ]
BEN!
WHO DID YOU AND GRANDPA MEET THIS SUMMER?
DAD, HE'S NOT AS BAD AS HE LOOKS.
OKAY, I LIED. HE'S WAY WORSE.
THE OMNITRIX,
OR LET YOUR FATHER SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
[ SIGHS ]
OKAY. YOU WIN.
[ BEEPING ]
IF THERE'S ONE THING YOU MADE ME BELIEVE,
VILGAX, IT'S TO NEVER BELIEVE YOU!
[ Panting ] BEN, WHAT'S GOING ON?
[ GASPS ]
TALK LATER, SURVIVE NOW.
GET IN.
HOW DID GRANDPA NOT PICK YOU UP ON HIS PLUMBER RADAR?
THOSE FIRST DRONES WERE MERE DECOYS,
CREATING AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD TO ALLOW ME
AND THE OTHERS TO ARRIVE UNDETECTED.
OTHERS?
I AM NOT MERELY GOING TO DESTROY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
I PLAN TO DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE PUTRID TOWN!
[ BARKS ]
[ WHIMPERS ]
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE LET YOU GO ON VACATION WITH HIM.
DAD, NONE OF THIS IS GRANDPA'S FAULT.
ISLAPPED ON THE OMNITRIX.
AND YOU SHOULD SEE HIM IN ACTION.
YOU'D BE PROUD.
PROUD, HUH?
NOW, THAT'S SOMETHING I DON'T THINK HE'S EVER FELT OF ME.
I...SUPPOSE WE CAN LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
YOUR MOM DID■ WANT TO REMODEL.
[ CROWD SCREAMING ]
WE CAN'T LET VILGAX GET AWAY WITH THIS.
BEN?
SON, I KNOW I'VE GOT SOME EXPLAINING TO DO,
BUT RIGHT NOW, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS,
AND I'VE GOT THREE OF THEM -- AIM AND FIRE.
OH, YEAH!
BUT THIS DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
WHAT ARE YOUDOING HERE?
MY KARATE TOURNAMENT GOT CANCELED.
[ SIRENS WAILING ]
SO MUCH SUFFERING.
ARE YOU PREPARED FOR MORE, TENNYSON?
All: YOU TALKING TO ME, UGLY?
JUST CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME, HUH?
[ RUMBLING ]
[ LAUGHS ]
GRANDPA.
DO IT.
[ BEEPING ]
GOIN' HERO.
Both: TENNYSON?
YOU'RE...
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE HEROES.
REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST TAUGHT YOU TO DRIVE?
YEAH, I KEPT RUNNING INTO THINGS.
MY POINT EXACTLY.
[ CRASH ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
[ CRASH ]
GET READY TO EXPERIENCE MY FULL WRATH!
WE'VE GOT TO STOP HIM ONCE AND FOR ALL!
BEN, HE'S INDESTRUCTIBLE.
MAYBE NOT. I HAVE AN IDEA.
REMEMBER WHEN I ASKED YOU IF YOU WANTED TO COME TO WORK WITH ME?
FINE. DESTROY THE TOWN.
BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME OR THE OMNITRIX AGAIN.
NO ONE ESCAPES ME THATEASILY!
KNEW YOU'D PLAY "FOLLOW THE LEADER, " LOSER.
DAD!
[ HISSES ]
[ SIGHS ]
SO MUCH FOR ALL MY HARD WORK.
[ EXPLOSION ]
VILGAX IS FINALLY BURNT TOAST.
YOU DID IT!
DID IT.
UH...I STILL HAVE ONE MORE THING TO DO.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
I FIGURED SINCE MY SECRET WAS OUT...
[ SIREN WAILS ]
[ POLICE RADIO CHATTER ]
I'D SAY COME OVER FOR DINNER,
BUT, UH...WE DON'T HAVE A KITCHEN ANYMORE.
HEY, I'LL FIX US ALL SOMETHING IN THE RUST BUCKET.
Y COOK?
YEAH, UH... LET'S GO OUT, DAD.
SO...
Both: SMELL YOU AROUND.
OH, YEAH!
NOWWE'RE TALKIN'.
AAH!
WHAT ARE YOUDOING HERE?
I GO HERE NOW.
MY DAD JUST GOT A NEW JOB IN BELLWOOD.
AW, MAN!
I'M SOGOING TO ACE THIS CLASS.
[ EXPLOSION ]
AFTER WE ACE ANIMO AND HIS MUTANTS.
IT'S TIME FOR AN EARLY RECESS, DON'T YOU THINK, BEN?
YEP!
GOIN' HERO!
AND FOR BEN TENNYSON, WHO DIDN'T WANT THE SUMMER TO END,
HE WOULD COME TO REALIZE THAT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL WAS MERELY
ANOTHER BEGINNING.
