Origins(Transcript)

Zach was in school trying to pull pranks on the teacher. He was folding a paper airplane. He flew it into the air and his teacher was shocked. Luckily he wasn't caught. Then, he was waiting for class dismissed.

Zach: C'mon, c'mon.

Teacher: And I would like to remind you all that I will be teaching summer school this year and it's not too late to sign up.

Zach: Yeah right.

The bell started ringing and Zach went out of his seat excitedly.

Zach: Yes! Out of here.

Teacher: Everyone, have a good vacation and I hope to see you all in the fall.

Zach was heading out of the classroom when his teacher called.

Teacher: Zachary Dean Herron, could I have a word with you before you leave?

Zach: Okay.

After having a talk with the teacher, Zach went up to his friends, Matthew and Joseph. Zach is unusually skinnier and shorter compared to them.

Zach: Matthew, Joseph.

Matthew: Hey Zach.

Joseph: How's it going?

Zach: I have another talk with the teacher. My cousin is coming to LA from San Francisco for the summer.

Matthew: Really? What is he like?

Zach: He is a she and you're not going to like her.

Zach's mum came to pick her son up.

Myta: C'mon Zach, let's go. We're heading to the train station to pick up your cousin. She came all the way from San Francisco to see us.

Zach: That's my mum. Bye guys, see you in the fall.

Matthew: Zach, we're coming over to your house later.

Zach: Really?

Joseph: Yes.

Zach: Okay, well see you at my house. I'll introduce you to my cousin.

Matthew: Okay, bye.

Zach entered his mum's car and headed to the train station. Once they arrived, they met up with Zach's Filipino-American cousin, Zoe.

Zach: Seriously? Her?

Zoe: Take it seriously, dweeb. This wasn't my idea. Somebody convinced my mum to make me spend the summer here in Los Angeles with you.

Zach: Mum, please, tell me you didn't.

Myta: I thought it would be fun to make your cousin spend the summer here is LA. Is that a problem?

Zach and Zoe went inside Myta's car. Almost the entire ride is silent.

Zach: Ugh, I can't believe it. I am going to spend summer with this queen of cooties here.

Zoe: Hey! I know I have my own plans for the summer too you know. I was supposed to be in Guam, not in Los Angeles. Now I'm going to spend 3 months with my cousin this summer.

Zach: Geek.

Zoe: Jerk.

Myta: Something tells me it's going to be a long summer.

Myta, Zach and Zoe arrive at Zach's house. Myta helped Zoe get settled in Zach's room. After that, both of them were in the backyard trying to talk things out. It is dinner and Myta and Josh gave the 2 some dinner.

Josh: Alright, chow time.

Zoe: What's that?

Myta: Spam.

Zoe: Spam? Aunt Myta, Uncle Josh, we're not kids anymore.

Zach: Yeah, can we have a burger or something?

Myta: Nonsense, I'm also going to give them to Ryan and Reese. Just eat what's on the table for now.

Mya and Josh left the 2 teenagers in the backyard.

Zach: Okay, I have a half-eaten candy bar and some chips on the cabinet. What do you have?

Zoe: I only have cup noodles.

Zach: I don't think they'll last long during the summer.

Zoe: Yeah.

Zoe was doing her homework in her laptop and Zach was playing video games when Josh came out to check on them.

Josh: Who wants to roast marshmallows? Okay, um. How about you talk to each other and try to get along.

Zach: Well, who wants to talk to a freak of a cousin?

Zoe: Shut up, I'm doing homework here.

Josh: Well, we're all in this together. You can mope like this all summer or have some fun. I am signing you both for summer school. So what do you say?

Zoe: I vote for moping.

Zach: I'm going to take a walk.

Josh: Then walk with Zoe. Maybe you 2 will get along.

Zoe: What?

Zach: Ugh, okay fine.

Zoe and Zach started walking around Zach's backyard. Then something crashed right in front of both of them.

Zoe: What is that?

Zach: It looks like a satellite or something.

Then, some rocks started crumbling and Zach fell right into the crater. Zoe just stood back. The satellite opens revealing a weird watch.

Zach: A watch? What's a watch doing in outer space?

Zoe: I dunno, just get outta here. Zach, no!

The watch managed to wrap itself on Zach's wrist. Zach wanted it off.

Zach: Ah! Get it off! Get it off!

Zoe: Zach, I don't think it would come off.

Zach: I'm trying here. Wait, this is the Omnitrix from Ben 10.

Zoe: Ben 10? I thought this was fiction, can't believe it's real. Let's tell your parents about this. But first, we have to take it off.

Zoe tried her best to take out the watch but it was no use. Then, Zach pressed the watch and it shows silhouettes of different aliens.

Zach: Woah, cool.

Zoe: That's what the Omnitrix does.

Zach: What happens if I press it.

Zoe: Wait!

Zach transformed into an alien from the Omnitrix.

Zoe: What the?

Zach: Woah, I think I'm one of the aliens from Ben 10.

Zoe: You're Heatblast.

Zach: You're right. I am Heatblast.

Zoe: Let's head home.

After that incident, Zoe and Zach developed an unfamiliar friendship they haven't had for a long time ever since their parents won't allow them to see each other again. They started getting along.

Zoe: So who's your favourite music artist. I like Dak and Brody.

Zach: So do I. What's your Zodiac sign, I'm a Gemini and I was born in Year of the Monkey.

Zoe: I'm a Pisces and I was born in Year of the Dog.

Zach: Can't believe we're getting along right now.

Zoe: I know. So have you been overseas last summer?

Zach: I went to Canada last year.

Zoe: Well, I went to Guam and then the Philippines. I also went to Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

Zach: That's cool. You went to Asian countries in just 3 months.

Zoe: What? I am Asian.

Zoe and Zach were having fun. Meanwhile, Vilgax awakened outer space after hearing that someone else has the Omnitrix.

Vilgax: What? Are you telling me that someone else has the Omnitrix?

Servant: Yes, Vilgax. It wasn't Benjamin Kirby Tennyson from 16 years ago. It was a 17-year-old boy from Los Angeles.

Vilgax: Who is this 17-year-old boy?

Servant: I don't know. All I know is that he has brown hair, brown eyes and light skin. His records says that he has been suffering from a chronic lung condition and is a junior in high school.

Vilgax: Bring him to me.

Back in Los Angeles, Zach is still Heatblast and he is walking back to the house with Zoe. Later, he transformed back into himself again.

Zach: Hey, I'm me again. But I still can't take this off.

Zoe: I kinda like you better as Heatblast, but okay.

Zach: We good?

Zoe: Yes.

Just then, another satellite crashed into Earth. This time, it is a robot from outer space. He sent out 2 drones to find a 17-year-old boy with the Omnitrix. Meanwhile, Zach is trying to transform into another alien.

Zoe: Are you trying another alien?

Zach: Yes. I'm trying to figure out how it works.

Zoe: It works just like in the series.

Zach: Wait, I got it. What alien should I try?

Zoe: I dunno, you choose.

Zach selected an alien and transformed into Wildmutt.

Zoe: Eww... why would you choose an alien like that? Ugh, this is such a weird day.

Zach ran off.

Zoe: Zach, come back!

Zoe followed her cousin towards the forest which is next to their backyard. Just then, a drone aimed on the kids and blasted on them.

Zoe: What was that?

That's when Zach jumped on to the drone and destroyed it. He then transformed back into his normal self.

Zach: Yes! I'm back to normal!

Zoe: What happened back there?

Zach: I dunno.

The drone is about to aim at the kids but Zoe punched and destroyed it.

Zoe: Back off drone! Nobody hurts my cousin!

Zach: Thanks back there.

Zoe: No sweat. Let's head back home.

Zach and Zoe finally went home and Josh and Myta ran up to them.

Zach: Mum, dad!

Zoe: Uncle Josh, Auntie Myta!

Josh: Are you guys alright.

Myta: Yeah, we're worried about you.

Zach: Mum, dad, we're fine.

Josh: And you guys are getting along. That's good.

Zoe: Uncle Josh, Auntie Myta, Zach discovered a watch that came from space. I suspect it was the Omnitrix from Ben 10.

Josh: Ah, maybe it was just merch. Zach used to watch Ben 10 when he was younger..

Zach: No, it's real. I can't take it off.

Myta: Maybe just leave it there. You can do some her work with that thing.

Zach: Really?

Myta: Yes.

The doorbell rang. Zach ran up to the door and Matthew and Joseph arrived.

Matthew: Hey Zach.

Zach: Hey Matthew, hey Joseph.

Joseph: Cool watch you have there.

Zach: Oh thanks. Why don't we come in.

Zach, Matthew and Joseph entered the house.

Zach: Mum, dad, my friends are here.

Zoe: Who?

Zach: Oh, this is my cousin, Zoe.

Zoe: Hello.

Matthew: Zoe, that's a nice name.

Zoe: I get that.

Joseph: So where did you get this watch?

Zoe: You probably haven't heard of Ben 10, right?

Matthew: We did.

Joseph: I just binge watched it last year during the pandemic.

Zach: So this watch jumped right up to my wrist and then it won't come off. It transforms me into different aliens.

Matthew: Woah.

Just then, someone started calling out for an emergency on the radio. So the kids ran towards the forest to find out what's going on. Zach used his Omnitrix and transformed into Diamondhead.

Matthew and Joseph: Woah.

Zoe: So what can this guy do?

Zach: I dunno, but I bet it's gonna be cool.

The robot started attacking everyone in Los Angeles. Zach sprung into action and fought the robot. The other kids helped the civilians run back to safety.

Zach: Leave him alone! Do you want somebody to pick on? Try me.

The robot used his blasters and blasted on Zach. Meanwhile, Matthew, Joseph and Zoe wanted to help.

Zoe: We have to help him, c'mon.

The kids tried to defeat the robot. But he is too strong and is able to crush the bones of 3 skinny high school kids, 1 freshman and 2 juniors.

Corbyn: Ow.

Zoe: He's still attacking and we're in a forest at the middle of nowhere.

Joseph: At least we're still in LA.

Zoe: Yeah.

Zach, as Diamondhead continued fighting the robot. Everyone else watched in horror as Zach defeats the robot using his diamond powers. The kids cheered.

Zoe, Matthew and Joseph: Alright!

Matthew: Go Zach!

One of the civilians looked at them, confused.

Joseph: I mean, go Diamondhead!

The kids went back to Zach's house as Zach transforms back into himself.

Joseph: Well that's an interesting summer.

Matthew: Yeah. Like how your names start with Z and stuff.

Zoe: We hated each other at first. But we're good now.

Zach: Yeah.

Everyone: (laughs)
