PlotEdit

In a small hut, the Vreedle Brothers' father speaks with Argit, saying he enlisted them to the Plumbers' Academy, but are failing in their exams. He is sending Argit to change their scores or he shall get a bad punishment for not doing so.

While taking a ride in Ben's car, Ben and Gwen discuss that Ultimate Kevin is still continuing his rampage on everyone that wronged him and that he needs to be taken care of. Just then, Ben accidentally runs over Argit, but Argit survives. Argit explains that he needs their help in order to hide from Ultimate Kevin, who he met earlier when he came to Earth for some supplies from Ultimate Kevin, but finds him attacks him for all of his double-crossing, but Argit was able to escape. Argit says that they need to hide him from Ultimate Kevin, so they suggest a few places until they settle on the Plumbers' Academy, which Argit only agrees to go to because he needs to fulfill his promise to Mr. Vreedle. While on the way there, Ultimate Kevin attacks them. Ultimate Kevin uses Big Chill's intangibility and goes inside the jet asking for Argit. Ben becomes Jetray and battles Ultimate Kevin, but Ultimate Kevin is too strong. Gwen activates the air-lock, which sends Ultimate Kevin out of the jet, but he only leaves them so he can save his falling car.

The group arrive at the Plumber's Academy, where they are greeted by the headmaster, Magister Korwak, but he is not happy to see Argit with them. Korwak orders Plumbers to take Argit to a cell while he talks to Ben and Gwen about bringing Argit here so he can escape from Ultimate Kevin. Meanwhile, Argit fakes having to go to the bathroom, with his escort taking him and before he could realize it was a trick, Argit uses his quills to stun him. Argit then begins looking around for the students' grade room, but unfortunately ends up in a cafeteria filled with students. The Vreedles are also there and Argit tells them about their plan, but to keep a low profile by acting they don't know who Argit is. Argit does find the room and changes the scores, but the Plumbers' Academy is shocked when Ultimate Kevin arrives.

Ben and Gwen confront Ultimate Kevin when he goes inside and attacks the students. Ben becomes Humungousaur to fight Ultimate Kevin, but Ultimate Kevin is stronger. Humungousaur changes into Ultimate Humungousaur to fight Ultimate Kevin, but Ultimate Kevin still has the upper-hand and defeats Ultimate Humungousaur. As Ultimate Kevin was about to kill Ben, Gwen tries to stop him while Ultimate Kevin begins arguing with her. Then, Ultimate Kevin sees Argit, which makes him remember why he is here and tries to get Argit. Argit quickly runs back to the Vreedles and tells them he needs their help to fight Ultimate Kevin and the Vreedles unzip a bunch of weapons. Argit and the Vreedles come back and Ultimate Kevin begins throwing Argit around the room hard. The Vreedles launch a bomb at Ultimate Kevin, but had no idea that the bomb will destroy the school and everyone inside it. Ben wakes up and transforms into Echo Echo to stabilize the bomb using sonic screams, but it doesn't work, so Echo Echo transforms into Ultimate Echo Echo and takes the bomb using his sonic disks into space and holds it together until it's a safe distance away, where he lets it explode. As Ultimate Kevin was about to finish Argit off, Gwen stops him, causing Ultimate Kevin to get really mad, but a little bit of his sanity makes him spare Gwen's life. Ultimate Kevin leaves, thinking Argit to be dead, but Argit was able to shut off his pulse so Ultimate Kevin would think he would be dead. Korwak orders the Vreedles to arrest Argit for bringing assault of two cadets and 14 acts of warrants for his arrest and Ben and Gwen wonder if Ultimate Kevin could really become sane and normal again.

QuotesEdit

Argit: (referring to the Plumbers' Academy) Where they train new Plumbers? For galactic police duty? Not there! Anywhere but there! Ben: Or we just let Kevin have you. Argit: (pauses) Like I was saying, the Plumbers are a fine organization; I'd love to visit their school!

Ben: (referring to Kevin) Why doesn't he just phase through the hull? Gwen: Maybe he hasn't read the Big Chill instruction book. Let him in! Ben: (turns on the external mic.) Doofus! You've got the powers of a ghost! Come in already!

Octagon: (talking to Argit) We're attempting to what you might call improve ourselves, and make our daddy proud...so he doesn't have us whacked. Rhomboid: Again.

Ben: I'm sure the ship landed close by, unless the sensors are off. Gwen: Or unless you set them up wrong. Ben: (looking at Gwen) I didn't set them up wrong. Gwen: Or unless you got us lost. Ben: (getting frustrated) I didn't get us lost! (loses control of the car causing it to zig-zag but gets it back on track) Gwen: (holding on) Or unless you drive us into a ditch! Ben: Why don't you just say what's on your mind?! Kevin's on the war path and you think it's my fault! Gwen: Okay, yes, that covers it!

Magister Korwak: (to the Plumbers) Hold fire 'til I give the order. You got that? Kevin: Yeah, but I'm bad at following orders.

Gwen: (to Kevin) Don't you dare!!! (shoots mana at him) Kevin: You too??!! I thought you cared about me!!!

Magister Korwak: This is not a prison or a battlefield. It's a place a learning. Ben: Obviously, you've never seen my high school.

Argit: Now, if anybody asks you, you ain't seen me, and you don't know me. Octagon: Ain't seen ya. Rhomboid: Don't know ya. Argit: Exactly. Just play dumb. Scratch that: be yourselves.

Ben: (imitates tannoy sound) This is your captain speaking. Welcome aboard Rustbucket Spaceways. Please keep your seat-belts fastened until it is safe to move about the-- Gwen: (cuts Ben off) Would you go already?!

Argit: Buddy, pal, wait! I can explain! Kevin: Explain what? Argit: Pretty much anything! Kevin: I'm tired of your tricks, Argit! Argit: Then maybe you should take a nap! (Argit shoots his quills but Kevin makes a shield) Kevin: See? That's what I'm talking about! Always betraying me! Always double-crossing me! This is the last time, Argit! Argit: Kevin, don't! Kevin: The last time you do anything!

Gwen: Kevin, how could you?! Kevin, he was your friend!!! Give yourself up Kevin... Don't make m-!!! (Kevin hits and breaks her mana) (Gwen falls on the ground and Kevin is prepared to blow a shot at her, but it slowly fades away) Kevin: (to Gwen) The only reason you're alive is because of what you used to mean to me. (Kevin flies off, Gwen gets up and wipes her tears)
