BEN 10: ULTIMATE ALIEN
Episode 1: Echoes of Extinction
TEASER
FADE IN:
EXT. BELLWOOD DESERT – NIGHT
A blood-red moon hangs over an endless desert.
The wind whispers through jagged rocks.
Silence.
Then—
AAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHHHH!!
A horrifying scream tears across the night.
The mountains echo.
The sand trembles.
Birds explode into the sky.
Even the stars seem to dim.
EXT. CAMPSITE – CONTINUOUS
Ben Tennyson's eyes snap open.
Seventeen years old.
Experienced.
Confident.
Yet for the first time in a long while...
He looks genuinely afraid.
The Ultimatrix flashes on its own.
BEEP...
BEEP...
BEEP...
Ben stares at it.
"...That's impossible."
Kevin sits up.
"What exploded this time?"
Across the campfire, Gwen is already standing.
Green mana circles around her hands.
"No..."
She whispers.
"I can feel it too."
The ground shakes.
Once.
Twice.
Then again.
Far away...
Something is walking.
Each footstep sounds like thunder.
Ben closes his eyes.
He listens.
Not with his ears.
With instinct.
When his eyes open again—
His expression changes completely.
"It's coming."
Kevin smirks.
"Good."
Ben doesn't smile back.
"No..."
His voice is barely above a whisper.
"You don't understand."
"This thing isn't hunting food."
"It's hunting..."
"...me."
BOOM!!
A mountain explodes in the distance.
A gigantic silhouette slowly rises behind the dust cloud.
Hundreds of feet tall.
Its glowing crimson eyes lock directly onto Ben.
Then—
It charges.

ACT ONE
EXT. DESERT – CONTINUOUS
Ben slams the Ultimatrix.
Green energy erupts.
"It's hero time!"
Alien icons spin rapidly.
Humungousaur.
Too slow.
Jetray.
Not enough power.
Swampfire.
Not enough.
Clockwork...
No.
Ben stops.
"Goop."
SLAM!
Green light engulfs him.
GOOP bursts into existence, floating above the sand.
His anti-gravity projector hums.
Without hesitation, he rockets toward the monster.
The creature roars.
Its voice alone creates a shockwave that throws boulders through the air.
Goop stretches into massive tendrils, wrapping around the creature's legs.
For one second...
It works.
Then—
CRACK!!
The monster tears free effortlessly.
One swing.
BOOM!!
Goop is launched through three rock formations.
Kevin's eyes widen.
"That... actually hurt him?"
Goop reforms.
Ben's voice echoes from within the slime.
"Not enough..."
The creature charges again.
Ben doesn't hesitate.
He slams the Ultimatrix once more.
The Evolutionary Function activates.
Green lightning fills the desert.
The Ultimatrix screams.
DNA rapidly evolves.
The light becomes blinding.
When it fades—
Standing in the crater...
Is...
ULTIMATE GOOP.
His body churns with glowing emerald acid.
His anti-gravity projector has transformed into a massive gravity core.
The air bends around him.
Rocks begin floating.
Even the monster slows under the crushing gravity field.
Ultimate Goop smiles.
"My turn."
He punches forward.
Instead of a fist—
An enormous tidal wave of corrosive slime crashes into the monster, driving it hundreds of meters across the desert.
The earth splits open.
For the first time...
The monster screams.
Ben has the advantage.
Or so he thinks.
Suddenly—
Reality tears open.
A portal forms above the battlefield.
Not green.
Not purple.
Not blue.
Colors that shouldn't exist swirl inside it.
Everything goes silent.
Even the wind stops.
The monster immediately kneels.
Ultimate Goop freezes.
Someone...
is coming.
A cloaked figure steps through the portal.
Its face is hidden.
Its presence alone makes Gwen struggle to breathe.
Kevin instinctively steps backward.
The stranger raises one hand.
The raging monster becomes perfectly still.
Like a puppet awaiting orders.
Then...
The figure slowly turns toward Ben.
A chilling voice echoes across the desert.
«"Benjamin Kirby Tennyson..."»
«"The last bearer of the Ultimate Evolution..."»
«"Your countdown has begun."»
Ben's eyes widen.
"Who... are you?"
The figure chuckles.
"You'll remember my name."
"When the universe breathes its final breath."
SNAP.
The monster disappears.
The portal closes.
The silence returns.
Only one thing remains.
A strange black symbol burned into the desert floor.
The Ultimatrix begins flashing violently.
A message appears.
⚠ UNKNOWN DIMENSION DETECTED
⚠ EVOLUTION PROTOCOL COMPROMISED
⚠ USER TERMINATION PROBABILITY: 99.97%
Ben stares silently at the screen.
For the first time since receiving the Omnitrix...
He has no idea what to do next.
CUT TO BLACK.
