Ben 10: Alien Swarm

---

[ car approaches ]

[ tires squeal ]

[ rock music plays ]

[ engine revs ]

What have you got

for me, Fitz?

l knew you'd be the guy

to call on this, Kev.

This is big, and l figured

you'd have the connections to...

Show me.

[ dials phone ]

[ engines rev ]

l'm just the middle man.

[ tires squeal ]

Are you the buyer?

lt depends.

What are you selling?

Alien technology...

the good stuff.

Watch the paint.

What is it?

You don't know?

You don't know,

do you?

ls it a weapon?

Does it fire?

Can it blow stuff up?

See, this is

important information

for a prospective buyer.

lt's alien technology, man.

lt's gotta be

worth some money.

Are you interested

or not?

Just chill.

Let me talk

to my partners.

Partners?

You didn't say anything

about partners.

Neither did you.

[ laughs nervously ]

You're working

with him?

Actually,

l'm working with her.

Kevin doesn't really work,

he just stands around

flexing his muscles.

Yeah, how about l flex 'em

in your face?

Who are these jokers,

man?

l can't tell you.

l'm just the middle man.

We're just some

regular old folks

who are beginning to think this is

a big, fat waste of our time.

What do we got?

l've never seen anything

like 'em, Ben.

They're complex.

Must be grade 9 tech

at least.

[ whirring ]

Whatever they are,

they're screwing up

the Omnitrix.

What's with you guys?

l've never met buyers

like you before.

You never met anyone

like them before

because they're not just

black market lowlifes like you.

They're Plumbers.

You mean they're gonna pay for

this stuff by fixing my toilet?

The Plumbers are a secret

interplanetary security force,

saving the world

so we don't have to.

Oh, right, of course.

We're cops from outer space.

Or maybe,

we're firemen from Atlantis.

How did you learn about

these Plumbers you think we are?

Everything l know

about the Plumbers,

l learned

the same way you did...

Ben.

Elena?

No. Way.

Oh, you still

remember me.

l'm honored.

KEVlN:

Hello?

Can anyone toss me a clue

as to what's going on here?

Kevin, this is Elena Validus.

She's a Plumbers' Kid,

like us.

Not like you, Gwen.

None of my ancestors

were aliens.

l don't have any cool

powers to rely on.

We hung out for a while

back in the day.

Then Elena's dad quit.

And you moved away

and we haven't heard

from you since.

ls that what they told you?

That my dad quit?

Considering that

you have more power

than all the Plumbers combined,

you sure don't

know much.

Then why don't you tell me?

What's going on?

What are you doing here

with these chips?

l'm here to find you.

The Plumbers don't

exactly advertise.

l need your help, Ben.

lt's my father.

He's been abducted.

Call the cops.

They can't help.

His disappearance is connected

with these alien chips.

We'll help you find him,

Elena.

You're a Plumbers' Kid,

and a friend.

Am l, Ben?

Really?

Because life's been pretty hard

for the last three years,

and l don't recall you

ever looking us up.

[ chips crackling ]

What is that?

Elena?

- l don't know.

- lt's a double-cross.

A trap, Ben.

No! l swear it!

l just wanted your help!

Don't wanna impose

on your little dysfunctions,

so...

[ crackling and whistling ]

[ all grunting ]

MAN:

Bring them back to us.

Kevin, l think you were right

about these not being

ordinary computer chips.

Stay down!

[ chips buzzing and squeaking ]

Gwen!

GWEN:

Ben!

l don't mean

to backseat drive,

but it might be

a good time for the Omnitrix.

Not!

l think it's having

a meltdown or something.

Don't sweat it, dude.

lf you can't handle it...

l know someone

who can.

What's going on?

They're all, like,

freaks or something!

Let's get outta here,

man!

[ tires squeal ]

They're not just chips.

lt's some kind of alien

nano-technology.

The attack is too organized.

There must be

intelligence behind it.

l don't know

if he's intelligent,

but l think we found

the puppeteer.

That's not good.

Ready or not!

Come on, Spider Monkey.

Big Chill?

That'll work.

[ grunts ]

Hold on, Gwen!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Who is that guy, Elena?

l don't know.

Then let's find out.

No!

Gwen!

Gwen, are you okay?

Yeah, l'm fine.

Who is that guy?

l think you mean,

who was he?

Elena?

lf you're looking

for your girlfriend,

l think your personal

charm was too much for her.

Kevin was right..

she set us up.

Did she?

l'm not so sure.

[ hip hop music plays ]

BEN:

This whole thing is wrong

from top to bottom.

Yeah, starting with that crazy

biker babe girlfriend of yours.

Elena's not my girlfriend,

Kevin.

We were, like, 13.

Her story doesn't add up, Ben.

Why sell alien tech

on the black market

just to find the Plumbers

when her father used to be one?

She said that something

happened to her dad

back when they lived here,

and we weren't told

the truth about it.

lf that's the case,

Grandpa Max has some serious

explaining to do.

MAN:

l'm sorry,

that old girl's

gonna need new pistons.

There's no getting around it.

- Hey, Ed.

- Hey, guys.

Gotta grab something

out of the back.

Hey, Ben, you going

to the game tomorrow?

Uh...

l hope so, Molly.

Just got hit

with some serious, uh,

homework.

KEVlN:

You know Benji,

all work

and no play.

ED:

Seriously,

look, that's the best

l can do for you.

l don't make the price,

l just fix the cars.

l don't recognize it,

and l really don't like it.

Me neither.

Sooner we get that

under the scanner,

the sooner we can

hunt down that creep

and his army of flying chips.

You mean the chips your gal pal

illegally had in her possession?

All right, Kev.

l think he gets it.

l don't get what

you see in him.

System's up.

COMPUTER:

Good afternoon, Ben.

Now activating all partitions.

Ben, did you ask Grandpa Max

if we could use the Comm Center?

You wanna start

solving this thing,

or you wanna go looking

for a permission slip?

COMPUTER:

Engaging comprehensive interior

and exterior scan.

Biological and inorganic matter

detected.

Molecular density is inert.

Austenitic, ferritic, and

martensitic phase microstructure.

Both organic and inorganic

materials.

Gwen, you are a credit

to the science club.

l've never seen

anything like this.

l mean, it's tech,

but it's also a carbon-silken

based life form.

So they're alive.

Man, l'm liking these

less and less.

Well, they were alive,

kind of.

Now they're in alien chip

heaven.

Let me see if l can trace

where they came from.

[ whizzing ]

They're completely inert.

l can't pick up

any energy signature.

What now?

Well, maybe l can jumpstart

an energy pulse,

but it will take forever,

and it'll be a total pain in the...

All right, l'll get

right on it.

Or, we could just find Elena,

and ask her

where they came from.

What makes you think that

she would tell you the truth?

She could have set us up.

She's one of us.

She was one of us.

You have no idea

who she is now.

You can't trust her.

Evidently l can't
