BEN You know, sometimes I wonder... why me? Why do I get to carry this kind of power? It’s not just fun and games anymore—it’s responsibility. But hey, I’ve been doing this for years now, right? I’ve faced worse, and I’m still standing.

(He smiles, determined.)

Whatever comes next, I’m ready for it. Let’s go!

(Ben stands amidst the ruins, the Omnitrix glowing on his wrist. He takes a deep breath, speaking to himself with a mix of determination and reflection.)

BEN Alright, Ben, this is it. Just you and the Omnitrix against whatever this place throws at you. You’ve faced aliens, robots, and even evil doppelgängers. A deserted city? Pfft, easy.

(He glances around, half-smirking.)

I mean, it’s not like I haven’t been here before. Just another day in the life of the universe's hero, right?

(He pauses, fingers grazing the Omnitrix.)

But it’s not just about fighting. It’s about protecting people, keeping them safe. I can’t let anyone down—not again.

(With newfound resolve, he clenches his fist.)

So, whatever’s lurking in the shadows, bring it on! I’m ready. Time to show these aliens what it means to mess with Ben Tennyson!

(He activates the Omnitrix, energy surging through him.)

Here goes nothing!
