>> the gates to rockin' chicago are open! >> come on, we're gonna be late.

>> for what? Like anything exciting's gonna happen at this dumb festival

Anyway. >> so expect another scorcher with highs in downtown chicago

To top 90. >> and with no rain in sight, it's enough to make my cranium

Rotate. >> not so fast, sam. This meteorologist thinks

Chicago's draught might be over. This is vance vetteroy reporting.

>> hey, you're the weather guy. We saw you and your robot on tv last night.

>> the sounding anemometer metagraph is no robot. He's a sophisticated weather

Monitoring apparatus created by me... But corrupted by a news station

Merely after a gimmick. >> ah, ok. Whatever.

>> vance? What are you doing? >> what i should have done

Long ago--reprogramming your circuitry. When you ascend past the

Troposphere, you'll release a hydro-oxidated solution creating a gathering of cumulous clouds

Producing rain. Instead of just reporting the weather, i'll finally be making

It. no!

>> aw, great. Could this day get any worse? >>

>> you were saying, dweeb? >> ¶ it started when an alien device did what it did

And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid

Now he's got super powers he's no ordinary kid he's ben 10 ¶

>> ¶ ben 10 >> ¶ so if you see him you might be in

For a big surprise he'll turn into an alien before your very eyes

He's funny, freaky, fast and strong he's every shape and size

He's ben 10 ¶ >> ¶ ben 10 >> ¶ all new powers

He's on the case fighting all evil from earth or space

He'll never stop till it's ok 'cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day

Ben 10 ¶ >> ¶ ben 10 >> ¶ ben 10

>> ¶ 10, 10, 10

>> oh, not my sumo slammer digi downloader!

>> this can't be happening. >> back on live in 10 seconds. >> a giant water spout has

Sprung up out of nowhere, an entity seemingly with a mind of its own.

>> you're the plumber, grandpa. Don't you have anything to plug up that thing?

>> all right, water freak, now it's personal. Time to let rip dog rip you

To shreds. >> aw, man. >> last time i looked in a

Science book, water puts out fire, not the other way around. >> time for my own science

Experiment. This thing's really starting to steam me.

>> that's it. >> that's what? >> how to trash it.

Super heat. Go supernova hot and turn its water into steam.

>> uh, yeah, i knew that. >> oh, and velocity equals intensity.

>> huh? >> the faster you spin, the hotter you'll be, dweeb.

>> uh-huh. Oh, getting dizzy. >> oh, yeah, h20 to h2 no.

guess i don't need to take a hot shower for a while, huh?

>> so how'd that thing get here? >> i dealt with a few instant weather abnormalities

On the job. Some e.T.S can represent themselves as elemental beings.

>> well, if it was from outer space, heatblast just sent it out of sight, which means we can

Go to the sumo slammer convention in milwaukee. New digi downloader,

Here i come. >> we already had that discussion.

We came to chicago for the music festival. >> oh, that is so not fair.

>> fair? This entire summer we've gone where you wanted to go,

Benjamin. >> what about aunt vera's house? That wasn't my idea.

>> and you ended up having a good time. >> yeah, ok, but--

>> you know i've waited all summer to see shag carpeting. >> those weirdoes make wildmutt

Look normal. Besides, who listens to records anymore anyway?

>> that's not the point. >> no, the point is, what's more important, getting a new digi

Downloader some sea alien trash that i kicked butt on or staying here

Just because you say so. >> gwen, explain it to him. >> you just don't get it.

Argh... >> i created you. Now it's time i destroy you.

>> wait. By readjusting my circuitry, you've allowed me to molecularly

Alter the weather. I'm not just some gimmick anymore.

Now i am everything you always wanted me to be. >> it's too late.

>> it's all about image, and without me, you'll just be another pretty face.

Now, do you still want to make it rain?

>> grandpa, it's like they have everything here--polka, punk, rock, rap, reggae.

It's a total world beat. >> more like a total world bore. >> hey, hey, the shag carpeting

Autograph booth. So who wants to come to the booth with me?

>> i'd rather brush vilgax's teeth with my tongue than wait in line to get those fossil's

Autographs. >> we'll meet you afterwards, ok, grandpa?

>> ok, be at the stage for shag carpeting at 3:00. >> could you be any ruder?

>> hey, if grandpa doesn't care what i want to do, why should i care about his dumb band?

>> get ready to go live. >> everyone in chicago will

Remember you forever, vance. But for all the wrong reasons.

>> now that's weird. >> oh, where is nigel? We're all in vibe.

>> probably just tweaking his costume. He always has to go all out.

>> who needs grandpa when i can accelerate there and back before he even knows it.

>> nigel. I love the new look, mate, now get up here and jam.

>>

>> >> ben, up there.

>> no. I can't control it. It's over, do you hear me?

>> actually, it is just starting. >> oh, thank you so much.

You saved us. >> if you thought the great chicago fire was bad, you

Haven't seen anything yet, vance. >> i'll follow it.

>> grandpa, we could lose sight of it before we make it back to the rust bucket.

>> who says we have to go to it?

>> huh? >> a water creature and a lightning monster?

Seems way too coincidental. >> uh! Oh!

>> wow! New episode? Gotcha now.

>> i don't think so. >> now, that's one ugly bug on our windshield.

>> any ideas how we're going to stop it? >> we need something to short

Out its electrical power. >> the snowiest winter i ever spent i spent in chicago.

>> we don't have time for stories now, grandpa. >> the city treated the roads

With salt, kept it stored in trucks like those up ahead. >> right, and the sodium in the

Salt could short circuit it. >> ah... The arena and wrigley field.

Today's forecast calls for destruction.

>> "build yourself a robot partner, vance. He'll be great for the action

Weather team." sure, boss, whatever you say. >> ben, since that cloud

Monster's not a solid mass, you'll have to somehow direct it into those trucks.

>> i'm on it. One accelerated funnel coming up.

>> ew... Hey, guys.

>> guess i don't need to take a bath for a month.

>> good job, ben. >> no prob. So, this means we can go to the

Sumo slammer convention now? >> sorry. One has nothing to do

With the other. >> but i went accelerate to save the day.

>> as a matter of fact, i was wondering about that. You just happened to be him when

That cloud monster appeared? >> uh, yeah. Why?

>> well, just that accelerate could have zipped off to that convention without gwen or me

Ever realizing you were gone. >> oh, well, like you think you know everything.

>> i know how much you wanted to see shag carpeting.

Sorry, granpa. >> oh, well, guess i'll just

Have to catch 'em at their next 20-year reunion. >> due to popular demand, the

Shag carpeting concert will go on at the music festival, which has seen its share of

Destruction today. Long live rock, chicago! >> whoa, how lucky are we?

>> is that a trick quest-- >> fool me once, shame on you, sam.

Fool me twice, shame on me. It's time you went offline for good.

>> i can't let that happen, vance. You started all of this.

Now i need to finish it, whether you like it or not.

>> >> play "twister alley!" >> whoa!

>> right on! Isn't this just the grooviest? >> grooviest?

Oh... And i thought grandpa's shirt was out of date.

>> oh, it's the opening to "twister alley." >> when they play that song,

Does it always feels like a real tornado flowing through? >>

>> you've got to stop! >> only when i get my revenge on those who stopped me before.

There you are. >> this city really has some weird weather.

>> it's like that thing's now become a combo platter of disaster.

>> if you think you can stop me again, you have been greatly misinformed.

>> a massive weather monster with a command of the english language?

Now that's something you don't see every day. >> whoa!

>> aah! >> yah! >> i've heard that humming

Before. >> me, too. >> it sounds like the beginning

Of "twister alley." >> going hero. >>

Time to give you a hand... Or 4! >> i saw part of that weather

Robot shot up into the air. And that weatherman was was at the salt truck when we were.

If that weather robot is its power source, and all along it's been sending out that humming,

All we have to do is create a sound on the opposite end of the frequency spectrum.

>> and maybe fourarms can get close enough to short it out. >> ben, the feedback frequency

You need is programmed into that amplifier. Get inside of that thing and

Start strumming away on the guitar. >> and get as close to that

Robot's head as possible. Fast! >> of course, you're planning on

Using a frequency on the opposite end of the spectrum to short sam out.

Brilliant! >> i am? I mean, of course i am.

Brains and brawn. >> >> ok, well, so much for

The brawn. Aah! Uh!

Yah! >> aah! You are giving me a headache.

>> does it feel like your head's gonna explode? >> aah!

Oh, no! Guess i do need a bath after all.

>> well, from now on, i'm just reporting the weather, not trying to change it.

Guess there's nothing that wrong with just being another handsome face, huh?

>> yeah, i know what you mean. >> ha ha! >> what?

>> >> so are they still as good as you remember them, grandpa?

>> no, they're better. >> ben tennyson. Are you really rocking out to

Shag carpeting? >> actually, they're pretty cool for a bunch of fossils.

>> here, let me give you a better view. I tell you what, we can head out

To that convention once the concert's done. >> ah, no rush.

Hey, think they'll play an encore?
