There's a whole city of aliens down here.
- You sounds surprised, Ben "dude". - A whole secret city?
Come partner, we must catch those lowlifes, who wreak Bowman's store.
Yeah, Rook, about that whole partner thing?
Don't get your hopes up.
XLR8 can catch those skuz buckets. {*corr}
NRG? Really?
What happened?
Ahh, New Omnitrix. I'm still learning the controls.
Allow me.
Nice doing, Rook ...ahm for a newbie... I mean.
Now, talk! Who is behind this alien shakedowns?
- Behind you! - Even I wouldn't fall for that.
And this is my first day on Earth.
Rook, quick!
- Hey, you'll took out my brakes! - When you ran us over!
Undertown market connected at sewer-line,
brown fields, tunnels on the fairy and back. Thanks.
Next stop, Gashe's Gardens.
- Hey! You don't have brakes! - It will come to him.
I can't believe this place! Come on, let's look around.
Where are you, friend?
There's a boy.
Rust with this use. {*corr}
Half-melted.
Hunting up.
I know I'm the new guy, Ben dude.
Dude! Call me "Ben"!
Ben, shouldn't we go after those lowlifes?
How long do you suppose there's been an Undertown?
Probably since Earth became an open system.
- But, Ben ... - I know,
you're about to say something official and Plumber-e.
Yes, Ben ...
Tentacles on a sticks, so fresh, take grab. You...
I'm finally that hungry.
- Give me one of those. - With suckers, without suckers?
- With ... - Excuse me, we're Plumbers working a case.
Did you see a group of bipedal lowlifes run through here? One psionic?
What? No, I don't know nothing, I was seen nothing.
Hey! What about tentacle?
- Never heard of it. - Dude, you're gonna sell me...
I don't sell nothing. I ain't even here, red spot Plumber.
Oh man, why do you have to go and show your badge?
I was interrogating a witness. But I may have misjudged.
Don't stress, I am the one who skipped breakfast.
This is my first time away from home.
When I first became a Plumber
I was assigned to my home planet, Revonnah.
The most exciting thing to do there is keep rodents out of the green silos.
You learned to fight like that protecting alien weed?
On Revonnah the rodents run fairly large.
I really do think we should continue looking for the lowlifes.
Relax. Pretty soon the big bad will say...
Ben Tennyson, here ruin my plan!
And then your lowlifes will come looking for us.
Rook?
Excuse me, we are Plumbers working a case,
can I ask you some questions?
Knock yourself out. I gotta find something to eat.
"Tube sizes" group in pairs, fifteen-three's or fifteen-five.
Guarantee to fix any tube.
Mommy, I got a "Bloody nose".
Well, did you expect me to cook it for you here?
Ok ... if that's making me hungry ...
Get your proteins in Smoothy's.
"Smoothy's"?
Get your proto sellin Smoothy's.
There you are, sir.
Is that safe to eat? for me, I mean.
Hey, listen ape...
What the heck?.
Do I know you?
You are not the only big bruiser in undertown, ugly.
It's hero time!
Oh, Water Hazard ... Why can't I ever get Humongousaur?
Get off me!
Allow me, too.
I've got this. 100.
Uhh... I got this.
Why're you just standing there?
"You got this", I wouldn't want to interfere.
No, it's cool. Interfere!
Hold still.
Nice shot.
Oh, man!
Two against one. Well, the odds are becoming a bit unsporty.
Who ever sent that monster to kill me? He's the big bad.
See how this works? Come on.
- Ahh, which way did it go? - Not to worry, Ben.
While you were looking for food, my investigation turned up a lead.
Of course it did.
Don't tell me, the baloon squealed.
I was told that this is where that psionic bipad can be found in this time of day.
Bubble Helmet? In here?
Use that service entrance.
Hope you're ok with waiting outside, that's poison gas in there.
Ready?
All bandages in the air! {*corr}
Will you call it with the badge? We're not cops. 121.
Well, you might be a cop, I'm a superhero.
There he is!
Nice hangout. Great atmosphere.
So, who is behind those shakedowns?
I'll tell you... as soon I can breathe.
- That's a fair bargain. - Rook, no!
You've never dealt with actual bad guys before, have you?
I've read about them in books and I've trained intensively.
Don't loose him this time. This rodent will lead us back to the nest.
You will take these shakedown machines to the surface.
And fan out into the entire city. {*corr}
But, boss, only the alien's stores have the tatanites to pay us in.
Don't fear is my currency!
All money is just a way to keep score...
my reputation will be made.
Once the whole city fears the name ...
Ben 10! They're after me, boss.
- We had a deal. - Rook, hands up!
- Oh. - Nice.
Look, a boat load of those shakedown machines.
That spells a boat load of shakedown.
- That is quite a lot? - Oh, yeah.
- Enough to take out the city. - Ben Tennyson.
Here to ruin my plan? I think not.
Psyphon?
It seems that my investigation lead us right to your "big bad".
Psyphon?
You're the one who's been jackin' up the stores in Bellwood?
You were always like Vilgax's third toughest lackie!
It seems you have... underestimated me.
Yeah? Who wouldn't?
You lead Ben Tennyson right to me.
I don't know what to thank you or eviscerate you.
Thank me?
Thank you ...
you must have wondered what ever became of me, Ben Tennyson.
Not even a little bit.
Of course, you still think of me as a servant.
But now... I am Master!
So you cannot imagine the joy with which I say this...
Get them, boys!
Come on, work for once!
Ben! Behind you!
Break it up, people!
Better yet, let me break it up for you.
Forgive me, I haven't any witty remarks.
Don't force it, Rook. Let the wise crack come to you.
Ugh. Oh-oh.
Did you think I'd be unprepared?
What's happen' to me?!
Separate them, Tennyson is my quarry.
My exciter-beam has been overloaded your nervous system.
- Someone is gonna get hurt! - Only by you, hero.
That unpleasant twitchy feeling is only temporary.
But I have so many sensations left to show you.
For Goodness' sake, Psyphon, call your dog off!
he is not mine!
Shocksquatch? Heh. Ok.
Psyphon, this your last warning.
Pest!
I must have that armor!
The body armor is not for sale, Psyphon.
Oh, I don't want to buy it, I will prey it from your lifeless body.
How green are you...
Not so green that I lead a tunnel collapse on me.
I believe that was my first wise crack.
No brakes.
Still there?
Here we go...
Metal all around, just gonna get him in the middle.
Brake this!
Ben ... I made a wise crack.
Gone.
You did well, old friend.
But this Ben Tennyson is more powerfull that I imagined.
And resourcefull. He will be our greatest trophy.
Khyber the Huntsman... promises it.
I'm telling you, I don't know what that creature was!
yeah, tell it to the arbiter. Transport's topside.
So, how'd you like your new partner?
He fights ok. Kind of a doughnut hole, though.
- Is that good? - Oh, sure! See?
Well Ben, you're been doin' this a while, now,
maybe it's somebody else's turn to be the "doughnut hole".
- Huh? - I know you haven't eaten yet,
Magister Tennyson here says you prefer these chilli fries.
Care to join me?
Partner!
