>> It's just so good bein' bad! The city's at our mercy. Get the weapons ready and

disrupt the helium flow.

>> Got my talons full with some giant root! >> Wildvine: Root?

Get a clue, dude. I'm a vine.

>> Gwen: Panzikidig metalalurka!

>> Aah... >> Max: I promised my grandkids a relaxing ride -- not you!

>> Wildvine: You've just been grounded.

Grandpa, what can we do next? >> Max: Get you to school, Ben. Summer's over.

>> there are several ways a story can begin, just as there are several ways it can end.

>> Ben: Aw, man, can't this

thing go any slower?

>> Gwen: If we go any slower,

we'll miss the first day of

school.

>> Ben: Duh!

That's the point, brainiac.

>> Max: don't want the summer to

end, sport?

>> Ben: What, so I can go back

to my normal, boring life in

total normal, boring bellwood?

>> Gwen: Normal sounds pretty

good to me.

From now on, the only spelling I

want to do is in composition

class.

>> Ben: 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.

>> Max: Ben, I'm afraid you're

gonna have to keep the omnitrix

our secret for now.

The less people know, the

better.

>> Ben: Even mom and dad?

>> Max: Yeah, afraid so.

>> Gwen: From superhero back to

plain old super geek.

Have fun back at school.

>> Ben: Well, there is one good

thing about my school.

>> Gwen: What?

>> Ben: You don't go there!

>> Max: 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. >> Ben: Me neither, grandpa.

Thanks. >> Max: Thank you. You gave this old plumber new

life. It was an honor fighting side by side with you,

Benjamin Tennyson. >> Ben: You weren't so bad yourself.

>> >> Ben: >> Ben!

>> Hey...Dad. >> Max: Son, good to see you. >> Gwen: Hey, uncle Carl,

aunt Sandra! >> Hi, Gwen. Now, I know you and Ben have had

your differences, but I hope his personality grew on you this summer.

>> Gwen: I suppose one or two of them weren't all that disgusting.

>> Got a new job, dad -- city engineer. >> Max: That's great.

>> Want to come in? >> Max: 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?

>> Ben: Uh...How do you -- >> your grandpa never failed to relate everything to a socket

wrench or a pipe. There was always a plumbing emergency somewhere in the world

to deal with.

>> Ben: So, I guess I'll... >> Both: Smell ya around! >> Gwen: I'd say I'd miss you,

but... >> Both: I wouldn't want to lie.

>> >> Well, that's new. >> Ben: 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. >> Ben: Not long at all.

>> Xlr8: Now to score some brownie points. >> You not only cleaned up your

room, but took out the trash, picked up the leaves, and straightened up the garage all

before dinner? >> Ben: 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.

>> >> Backyard poopy pickup. >>

>> Ben: 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 --

>> Ben: No! I-i mean, it's cool, dad.

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?

>> Ben: Four arms! I'm pretty tight with him.

>> Uh...Yeah, right. >> Ben:

Ugh! I never thought I'd miss grandpa's cooking.

>> This is a shakedown. Get it, loser? >> Ben: Hey!

Let it go! >> No prob.

>> Whoa. I guess we were saved by the

bell from you, Tennyson.

>> 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.

It sounds like fascinating reading. What did you do this summer?

>> Ben: Me? Well, I...Uh... Rode around in an r.V. With my

grandpa and cousin. >> And I thought we were nerds.

>> I got Peterson. >> Arnold! >> Let's play dodgeball!

>> Ben: Aah!

Ugh! Could this day get any worse?

>> What do those things want?

>> Ben: Aaaaaaaah!

Go in here.

>> That was the same dude who was at the little league world series!

How did he get here? >> Our hero!

>> Diamondhead: 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.

>> Diamondhead: You're iced.

>> Max: Picked up a signal. Drones were in the area. >> Diamondhead: Think vilgax

sent them?

>> What's he doing here? >> Max: 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? >> Ben: You think I was hiding? Those things came for me.

And those alien heroes everyone's been talking about at school, they're --

>> Max: >> Ben: They're...Pretty cool, i guess.

>> Yeah, unlike you. No way those things would want you.

They don't eat chicken.

>> Max: Keeping a secret is never easy. Trust me.

Every day, I wanted to tell your grandma and our kids the truth. >> Ben: Well, maybe if you had,

you and dad would get along better now. >> Max: You can't change the

past, Ben.

Speaking about the past, i forgot to give this to you the other day -- your summer

souvenirs. >> Ben: Cool!

Someone must be home. You comin' in? >> Max: Can't.

I told Gwen I'd take her to a karate tournament today. Well, do you miss her yet?

>> Ben: Haven't thought about her once.

>> Vilgax: Hello, Ben. Your father and I were just getting to know one another.

>> Ben:

>> Ben! Who did you and grandpa meet this summer?

>> Ben: Dad, he's not as bad as he looks.

Okay, I lied. He's way worse. >> Vilgax: The omnitrix, or let your father suffer the

consequences. >> Ben: Okay. You win.

>> Cannonbolt: If there's one thing you made me believe, vilgax, it's to never believe

you!

>> Ben, what's going on?

>> Ben: Talk later, survive now. Get in.

How did grandpa not pick you up on his plumber radar? >> Vilgax: Those first drones

were mere decoys, creating an electromagnetic field to allow me and the others to arrive

undetected. >> Cannonbolt: Others? >> Vilgax: I am not merely going

to destroy you and your family. I plan to destroy your entire putrid town!

>> >> I should never have let you

go on vacation with him. >> Ben: Dad, none of this is grandpa's fault.

I slapped 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.

>> Ben: We can't let vilgax get away with this. >> Gwen: Ben?

>> Max: 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.

>> Ben: What are you doing here? >> Gwen: My karate tournament got canceled.

>> Vilgax: So much suffering. Are you prepared for more, Tennyson?

>> All: You talking to me, ugly?

>> Gwen: Just can't live without me, huh?

>> Vilgax: >> Ben: Grandpa.

>> Max: Do it. >> Ben: Goin' hero.

>> Both: Tennyson? You're... >> Xlr8: Every single one of

those heroes.

>> Max: Remember when I first taught you to drive? >> Yeah, I kept running into

things. >> Max: My point exactly.

>> Vilgax: Get ready to experience my full wrath!

>> Xlr8: We've got to stop him once and for all! >> Max: Ben, he's

indestructible. >> Maybe not. I have an idea. Remember when I asked you if you

wanted to come to work with me?

>> Xlr8: Fine. Destroy the town. But you'll never see me or the omnitrix again.

>> Vilgax: No one escapes me that easily!

>> Xlr8: Knew you'd play "follow the leader," loser. Dad!

>> So much for all my hard work.

>> Xlr8: Vilgax is finally burnt toast. You did it!

>> Did it.

>> Xlr8: Uh...I still have one more thing to do. I'll be right back.

I figured since my secret was out...

>> I'd say come over for dinner, but, uh...We don't have a kitchen anymore.

>> Max: Hey, I'll fix us all something in the rust bucket. >> Y cook?

Yeah, uh...Let's go out, dad. >> Ben: So... >> Both: Smell you around.

>> Ben: Oh, yeah! Now we're talkin'.

Aah! What are you doing here? >> Gwen: I go here now.

My dad just got a new job in bellwood. >> Ben: Aw, man!

>> Gwen: I'm so going to Ace this class.

>> Ben: After we Ace animo and his mutants. >> It's time for an early

recess, don't you think, Ben? >> 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.
