Ben 10: Alien Swarm Page #3

Elena.

Max, Elena was the one

who set up the sale

of those weird chips.

Of course.

l knew l'd seen those before.

lt's time for you

to go!

Mr. Tennyson,

l had to do that.

l need help,

and it was the only way

l could think of to get it.

You know the rules!

lt's my father!

He's been kidnapped by whoever,

or whatever made those chips.

l knew that only

The Plumbers could help.

Get her outta here!

You're not serious.

She needs help.

That's an order!

You heard the man.

l don't know what's going on,

but he means it.

Come on, Elena.

Then l'll tell you

what's going on, Gwen.

Your sweet old grandpa

turned his back on us

three years ago...

Threw us out on the street

when we needed his help,

lied to you

to cover his tracks.

Now my father

is in serious trouble,

and Max still won't

help us.

ls that true?

Can't we just

talk to her?

No, Ben.

Anything she said

would be a lie.

Kevin.

Thanks for the help.

You guys are real heroes.

And, Ben,

thanks for being a real friend.

What's wrong with you?

There's nothing

wrong with me,

but there's a lot wrong

with her.

She's Victor Validus' daughter.

Okay, l'm sufficiently stumped.

What's going on here?

COMPUTER:

Dr. Victor Emilio Validus.

Plumber l.D...

Victor Validus was

the best Plumber l ever trained.

We stopped more than

our share of invasions.

l trusted Vic

with my life.

l wanted to trust the running

of this place to him.

Until he betrayed me.

What?

He was caught stealing alien

technology from our vaults.

Tech that he swore

he'd protect the earth from.

He was given

a dishonorable discharge.

A traitor.

Traitor's daughter's left

the building.

What did he steal?

Same stuff Elena

was dealing.

You still think

she's the girl you know?

She told us the truth

about one thing,

you lied to us.

l did that for your own good.

You were too young

to understand.

l still don't understand.

You can't judge her

by what her father did.

Ben, stay away from her.

The Validus family

is blacklisted.

There can be no interaction

between them and the Plumbers.

That's the way

you see it.

The way l see it,

a friend is in trouble.

And she's the best link

we have to those chips

and the freak

who's controlling them.

A whole lot more people

could end up in trouble

besides Elena

and her father.

That's why we are going

to analyze those chips

and take care of this crisis

by the book!

l am not gonna boot up

this whole operation

on the word

of that one girl.

Ben.

That is my decision!

Well, it's the wrong decision.

l order you

to stay away from her.

Sorry, Max, l'm not

following that order.

Ben!

You can't break Plumber ranks!

Max, don't let him
