Dialog HEATBLAST: Look, it's not like you guys were any
real trouble.

Dialog BEN: I had everything under control.

Dialog MAX: It didn't feel like it in here.

Dialog BEN: I've been schooling bad guys all summer...

Dialog BEN: I can't help it if

Dialog BEN: they aren't a challenge

Dialog BEN: anymore.

Dialog GWEN: We'll try and get kidnapped

Dialog GWEN: by someone a little more challenging next time.

Dialog BEN: Pfft, good luck.

Dialog MAX: Lose focus and may find yourself unprepared for
the unexpected.

Action Notes MAX'S phone rings startling GWEN and MAX

Action Notes MAX digs for his phone

Dialog MAX: Hello?

Dialog BEN: (Quietly to Gwen) Betcha anything it's Phil...

Dialog BEN: He's got some big emergency and we gotta
go somewhere to look at something.

Dialog GWEN: You don't have to be so smug. Not

Dialog MAX: It's Phil, we gotta go to his lab
and look at something. He says it's pretty dire.

Dialog BEN: Like clockwork.

Dialog BEN: (A little too excited) Alright!

Action Notes Digital view of the EARTH and the BLINKING
RED LIGHT moving towards it

Dialog PHIL: (OS) I was alerted to the oncoming object
yesterday. Action Notes BEEP . It moves a bit closer.

Dialog PHIL: I had hoped it's trajectory would altar a
little one way or the other. But unfortunately, it's headed straight for us.

Dialog MAX: Do you know what it is? Action Notes
BEN stands to the side barely able to contain his glee.

Dialog PHIL: As best as I can determine, it's a
meteorite.

Dialog PHIL: But I've never seen one as big as
this.

Dialog BEN: <SQUEAK> Action Notes BEN can't contain his excitement

Dialog GWEN: Are you...excited?

Dialog BEN: I wanna go there.

Dialog GWEN: Are you crazy?

Dialog BEN: Don't you see?

Dialog BEN: This is the challenge I need.

Dialog GWEN: (OS) But you'd be

Dialog GWEN: (OS) hurtling into deep space

Dialog GWEN: (OS) with no way

Dialog GWEN: (OS) to get you back.

Action Notes BEN mulls this over for a beat.

Dialog BEN: I wouldn't have homework ever again.

Dialog GWEN: Would you please take this seriously?

Dialog BEN: Oh.

Dialog BEN: I wouldn't have to clean my room.

Dialog GWEN: You're no help at all, you know that?

Dialog PHIL: (OS) Actually...

Dialog PHIL: I was thinking Ben could be very helpful.

Dialog PHIL: Though not on his own.

Dialog PHIL: Even if he could punch the meteor... Action
Notes PHIL pushes a button on his console

Action Notes PUSH IN toward the RED LIGHT. A projectile
heads toward it

Dialog PHIL: (OS) The debris alone... Action Notes The RED
LIGHT breaks apart into several smaller LIGHTS

Dialog PHIL: (OS) would be enough to do extensive damage.

Dialog PHIL: Could I see the Omnitrix, Ben?

Action Notes PHIL grabs the watch

Action Notes Gives it a twist

Action Notes A key pops out

Dialog BEN: Hey, my key.

Dialog PHIL: Apparently, your key was

Dialog PHIL: inserted improperly. Action Notes PHIL pushes another button
on the console

Dialog PHIL: After months of analyzing your Omnitrix.. Action Notes
The screen switches to a view of the Omnitrix

Dialog PHIL: I've concluded...

Dialog PHIL: that the key is meant to be inverted.

Dialog PHIL: Inserted properly should unlock immense power.

Action Notes The Omnitrix graphic glows green

Dialog BEN: (Excited) Then what are we waiting for?

Dialog PHIL: Not so fast.

Dialog PHIL: We need to proceed carefully and make sure
you're ready for a mission in space.

Dialog PHIL: Now we're going to see how you respond
to extreme G-forces. You just need to sit back and relax. Action Notes FOUR ARMS sits in a centrifuge. MAX, PHIL and GWEN are in the control room.

Dialog FOUR ARMS: Ok...doesn't sound like much of a challenge.

Dialog PHIL: Here we go.

Action Notes The centrifuge begins moving slowly at first

Dialog FOUR ARMS: Alright

Dialog FOUR ARMS: I got this.

Action Notes It picks up speed

Dialog FOUR ARMS: Oh....no, I dont. Action Notes FOUR ARMS

Dialog FOUR ARMS: NO I CAN'T Action Notes But he
doesn't

Dialog FOUR ARMS: Wait, I'm gooooOOOOOOoood...

Dialog FOUR ARMS: Please stooooOOOOOOOOoooop!

Dialog FOUR ARMS: Bring it on.

Action Notes GWEN rolls her eyes.

Action Notes The giant turbine spins

Action Notes Blowing cold air

Dialog PHIL: Just a bit

Dialog PHIL: more.

Action Notes The winds are very powerful

Action Notes Blowing FOUR ARMS off screen

Action Notes CAMERA pans across a large obstacle course in
the style of Ninja Warrior

Action Notes FOUR ARMS adjusts the straps on his harness

Dialog FOUR ARMS: What is this? Some kind of jungle
gym?

Dialog PHIL: (Over intercom) Your harness will simulate the effect
of zero gravity.

Dialog PHIL: (Over intercom) and the course represents a variety
of obstacles you may encounter in space.

Dialog PHIL: Good luck.

Dialog FOUR ARMS: (To self) Enough with this stupid (indecipherable)...

Dialog FOUR ARMS: Just want to bust some meteors and...
Action Notes KNUCKLE CRACKING SOUND FX

you.

Dialog FOUR ARMS: (Grumble)

Dialog BEN: I'll go Jetray, fly up to that meteor
and blast it to star dust.

Dialog PHIL: <SIGH>

Dialog PHIL: Unfortunately, we're out of time...

Dialog PHIL: and out of options.

Action Notes BEN squeaks in excitement.

Dialog GWEN: Could you please be a little less excited
about the possible end of the world?
