[ indistinct conversations ]
I heard his class is full for the next five years,
I heard even the waiting list has a waiting list,
As always, we will do our best
to accommodate as many of you as possible,
But the fire marshal will enforce a cut-off point at
Maximum capacity,

Hex: Allow me to introduce myself,
I am Professor Hex,
If you excel with me, you will
unlock the hidden secrets of the
Eldritch Arts,
As well as earn one general-education credit,
Of course, some of us have more of a head start than others,
Welcome to the big leagues, Miss Tennyson,
Gwen: [ laughs nervously ]
Hex: Gwendolyn Tennyson, Gwen: The stone of Giramphiel!
Hex: Gwendolyn Tennyson, Gwen: The Mesopotamian Tablet of Destiny,
Hex: Gwendolyn Tennyson,
Gwen: Um, um,,, King Ramses III,
Hex: Very good, Miss Tennyson,
But can you tell me which piece
of medieval jewelry is known to
cure blindness?
The Ring of Mudarra,
Gwen: Charmcaster?
Hex: [ clears throat ] Yes,
The charming new student is correct,
Charmcaster: I have a question for you,,, professor,
[ giggles ] What is the most powerful
focusing talisman ever set among the Nine Realms?
Oh, come on, As if you don't know,
[ chuckles ] The Staff of Ages,
Ring a bell?
Hex: Class dismissed,
[ students murmuring ]
Gwen: Charmcaster, wait!
I-I-I just want to talk,
Rook: For the last time,
Suemungousaur, you are 17 feet tall,
You make a terrible shoplifter,
[ warbles angrily ]
[ cellphone ringing ]
[ cellphone beeps ] Ben: Gwen!
Hey, how are y--
[ sighs ] Fine,
"Gwendolyn,"
Happy now?
Don't move, We'll be right there,
[ cellphone beeps ] Rook: We will? What about Suemungousaur?
Ben: We've got bigger fish to fry,
Rook: This hardly seems like
a good time to meet Gwendolyn for a meal,
Ben: It's just an expression, Rook,
No fish, no frying,
Rook: Who made up your language?
[ warbles ]
[ warbles angrily ]
Kevin: Are you sure it was Charmcaster?
Gwen: Am I -- [ scoffs ] Of course I'm sure!
What kind of question is that?!
I-I-I think I know Charmcaster when I see her,
Kevin: A lot of kids try out different looks when they go away to college,
Gwen: Ha ha,
Kevin: I'm just sayin',
Gwen: Fine, Then don't believe me,
Ben and Rook are on their way here, anyway,
Kevin: Aaaaand I'm done,
It's just gonna get trashed when Ben gets here,
Rook: Why would Charmcaster
come to this university, of all places?
There is nothing connecting her here that I know of,
Ben: Except Gwen,
Gwen: Yeah, about that,,,
There he is! [ screams ]
I love you! [ indistinct talking ]
Hey! Disperse!
This is a place of learning, not a malt shop,
Go!
Hex: [ sighs ] Thank you, Helena,
Such tomfoolery,
Little girls and their crushes,
What you need is brains, not youth,
A mature woman has its advantages, [ chuckles ]
Say, tea, tonight, my office?
Hex: [ shudders ]
Oh,,,look -- one of my students,
Ben: Gwen! Look out! Hex!
[ beep ] Kickin Hawk: [ screeches ]
Gwen: Ben, no!
Kickin Hawk: [ roars ]
Gwen: It's not what you think!
Professor Hex is the best
History of Magical Artifacts
and Antiquities teacher we've
ever had,
Kickin Hawk: "Professor Hex"?
Rook: Gwendolyn, with due
respect, you and the student
body are obviously under the
influence of Hex's spell,
Gwen: A little credit,
I checked for that,
Full sweep of the campus,
See? No sign of any spell, mind
control or otherwise, Now do you believe me?
Kickin Hawk: Or Hex is just magically making you think there's no spell,
Kevin: [ scoffs ] Come on,
Gwendolyn would never fall for
the old "I used to be bad, but
now I'm good" routine,
What?
[ Omnitrix powers down ]
Ben: All right, So, I may not know what you're up to,
but you're up to,,, something, Admit it!
Gwen: Ben! You're being rude!
Hex: That's all right, Gwendolyn,
There will always be people who don't like to give second chances,
I had to donate my entire
collection of rare books to the
university to even be considered for this job,
Never get a tattoo on your face, children,
It severely limits your career choices,
By the way, an excellent job in
class today, Gwendolyn --
as always,
Gwen: [ chuckles nervously ]
Thank you, professor,
But what was Charmcaster doing here?
Hex: I have no idea,
I hadn't seen or heard from my
wayward niece in a very long time before today,
I'm just relieved to know she's alive,
Rook: Mr, Hex, it is my
unfortunate duty to inform you
that your niece is both unstable
and very dangerous,
Hex: Unstable? In what way?
Ben: [ as Charmcaster ] What's that, magic talking bag?
You think I should try to kill
Ben and Rook, even after they
helped me get my rune back?
Okay!
Rook: Ben is correct,
To put it gently, she was a few
Amber Ogia bushels short of a
properly sized harvest,
Hex: [ sighs ]
I was afraid of that,
Charmcaster has had a tough
life, but she is family, and I
believe there is good in her,,,
somewhere,
If you'll excuse me, Gwendolyn,
today has left me quite fatigued,
[ growls ] Ben: But he's got to be evil!
Just look at him!
Rook: I am not aware of any
Earthly laws against having a
skull for a face,
Gwen: And finding Charmcaster
needs to be our top priority
right now,
Ben: Maybe yours,
[ wrapper crinkles ]
Kevin: Well, sounds like
you've got everything covered,
If you need us, Rook and I will be at the garage,
Gwen: What happened to not bothering to work on your car while Ben was in town?
Kevin: New plan, But I need Rook's genius alien brain,
Rook: Hmm, It would be a pleasant diversion
to discuss the latest advancements in
crystalline-fusion tech with a fellow gearhead,
Kevin: Great, Catch up with you later,
Ben: [ slurps ]
Hex: That was unwise, showing up like that, They could have caught you,
Charmcaster: It couldn't be helped,
I needed something to crush our enemies,
Hex: You have to understand,
Charmcaster -- that part of my
life is behind me now,
Charmcaster: No, he'll help us,
He knows we've been wronged, and he owes us!
Hex: What happened?
Charmcaster: Puberty,
A bad relationship or two,
You were too a bad boyfriend!
Now shut up, or I'll stick you
in the dishwasher again!
Do not test me!
I know I'm not well, Uncle Hex,
I just thought,,,you're the only
family I have left,
Like always, the two of us
versus the world, right?
Hex: Ungh! Charmcaster: [ laughs ]
Oh, how the mighty have fallen!
Hex: [ grunts ]
I don't know what you want, but
you will not get it,
I won't let you,
Charmcaster: Oh, I'll get it,
My family's birthright -- the
talisman left at the door by the
lurker at the threshold, the
most powerful item in this whole
ratty collection!
Where is it, Uncle?
Where did you hide the Staff of Ages?
Charmcaster: Give it to me, Uncle!
Give the staff to me!
Hex: A nice side benefit of
donating my entire collection --
all of my magical books are
right here when I need them,
Is this the staff you were
searching for? Charmcaster: [ groans ]
Hex: I am unbeatable within
these walls, Charmcaster!
This is pointless, child, Give it up,
Build a life here, with me,
We can be a family again, Charmcaster: Life?
[ chuckles ] I had a life once, But then he took it from me!
What do you mean, which one am I talking about?!
Both! Neither!
Aaaah!
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Rook: Two secret car elevators,
Galvan fuel injectors,
Appoplexian cold-burning nitrus,
Your setup is very high in
sugar, indeed,
Kevin: Just say "sweet," dude,
And let me guess -- you're
wondering how I can afford all
this when I lost my job at the garage?
Rook: The thought had crossed my mind,
Kevin: Relax, Plumber boy, Everything's legit,
Remember when I won the Taydenite wheels from Warlord Gar?
[ whirring ]
Rook: I see, You turn into Taydenite, the one
substance in the universe hard enough to cut Taydenite,
And since pure Taydenite is worth a fortune,,,
Kevin: Exactly, As long as I have this baby, I'm living on easy street,
Rook: And now that you have
secured a certain largess, you
mean to modify your own car to
be practically indestructible by Ben or his aliens?
Kevin: Yeah, Pretty smart, right?
Rook: We will have to replace
the frame, a few coats of Pyronite wax for resisting
extreme temperatures, Orishan glass for multiple atmospheres,
and some new way to resist high-explosive yields,
Kevin: Mm-hmm,
Rook: It is a monumental
task -- perhaps altogether impossible,
Kevin: That mean you're out? Rook: No,
I was just pointing out how much
fun this is going to be,
Hex: I'd like to remind my
students -- the ones actually
taking this class -- to pick up
their graded quizzes before they go,
Ben: He's gonna do something evil any minute now, I know it!
Gwen: I'm telling you, he's not,
Professor Hex isn't evil,
He's just a,,,bad dresser,
B-plus?!
Oh, that is evil,
Charmcaster: A protection spell,
How maddeningly like my worthless uncle,
No one can enter Hex's library without his presence,
Well, I can't go in there when he is, Duh!
Uncle Hex is all-powerful in his
library, like you used to be in
Legerdomain before I --
Kevin: Here goes nothing,
Zed: [ whines ]
[ buzzer ]
both: All right!
Kevin: Let's take this to
another level,
[ door opens, closes ]
There you are, Hex,
I've been looking all over to
share that tea,
Hex: Helena, I'm flattered,
but this really isn't the best --
Excuse me, young lady,
You've not seen Professor Hex
around, by chance?
We two had,,,a-an engagement,
Charmcaster: Mm, You just missed him,
[ bell tolling ]
[ indistinct talking ]
Eye Guy: Ah! Aah!
Lucky Girl: Really? You're the walking eyeball
monster, and I scared you?
Eye Guy: I didn't expect to see you here,
Don't you have your favorite class now?
Lucky Girl: Cancelled, Professor Hex didn't show up,
Eye Guy: Sounds pretty suspicious,
Lucky Girl: Maybe he just has the flu,
[ Omnitrix powers down ]
Maybe not,
Lucky Girl!
Have you seen professor Hex?
We had an,,,appointment,
Lucky Girl: Uh, no, citizen,
But I'll keep a sharp lookout for him,
Promise,
Thank you, darling,
Such a well-mannered young woman you are,
Oh, Hex, darling! Yoo-hoo!
Lucky Girl: This campus just
keeps getting weirder and weirder,
Rook: Are we sure this
scratch was not present before?
Then our work is not done,
Charmcaster: Oh, Uncle Hex,
Your reputation always did open doors for me,
[ click ]
O,,,M,,,G,
This is so exciting!
Can you even stand it?
Okay, now, If I were a Staff of Eldritch
Power, where would I be?
Jackpot,
[ rattling ]
[ squeals ]
The Staff of Ages!
And it's all mine!
This is my lucky -- Ugh!
Lucky Girl: Stop this, Charmcaster!
Your uncle says you're not a bad person,
You're just,,,damaged,
Charmcaster: [ grunts ]
I'll show you damaged!
Lucky Girl: [ gasps ] Is that,,,?
Charmcaster: As long as I am
with my dear Uncle Hex in his
library, I am invincible!
Lucky Girl: We'll see about that,
Charmcaster: [ chuckles ]
Lucky Girl: No!
[ grunts ]
Unh!
Charmcaster: Yes,
And now to squash little
Miss Teacher's Pest once and for all,
Lucky Girl: Aaaah!
[ grunts ]
[ panting ]
Charmcaster: Already tired, Gwen?
Oh! Or is it "Gwendolyn" now?
I forget,
Big mistake, Gwendolyn!
Lucky Girl: Call me Lucky Girl!
Kevin: Talpaedan impact resistance,
Rook: Amperi electrical insulation,
Kevin: Fireproof,
Rook: Waterproof,
Kevin: Bulletproof,
Rook: Explosion-proof,
Kevin: Everything-proof!
both: Yes!
Kevin: We did it, buddy,
There's no way Ben or anyone in
the galaxy can ever touch this
beauty now,
[ crickets chirping ]
Rook: Magic,
Kevin: I blame myself,
Lucky Girl: Shield of the Seraphim!
Song of the Elder Sign!
Charmcaster: Protection spells,
How quaint,
I always was the better sorceress,
Lucky Girl: Maybe,
But if you were the better
student, you would know that
the invocation of the Wandering
Eye,,,
all: is an illusion spell,
Charmcaster: Huh?
Zed: [ growls ]
Charmcaster: [ grunting ]
That was your big play --
Steal Uncle Hex back from me?
I don't need my uncle anymore to
defeat you!
Ghostfreak: Gwen, I've been
all over campus, and there's no sign of --
Hey! There she is!
Lucky Girl: Not helpful, Ben,
Charmcaster: Aaaaah!
[ grunts ]
Lucky Girl: Aaaaah!
[ bats squeak ]
Kevin: Charmcaster and the rock bats,
Sounds like a band name,
Rook: It is no use,
Charmcaster's magic is too powerful,
Ghostfreak: Why aren't we ending this?
Kevin: Be my guest, Tennyson,
Nobody can get near her,
Ghostfreak: Hmm,
Maybe no body can, but
Ghostfreak doesn't have a body!
Lucky Girl: Drive her back into the library,
Kevin: Uh, G, please tell me
there's an "and then" to that
idea, 'cause isn't the library
where all of Hex's magic books are?
Lucky Girl: Just do it,
I'll handle the rest,
Chant of Toth!
Charmcaster: Ooh!
You would make a nice totem,
Ghostfreak: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Aaaah!
[ groans ]
Charmcaster: Unh!
[ chuckles ] Is this your way of saying you give up?
I blasted you out of here once,
and I'll do it again!
Lucky Girl: Really?
Because last time, you had
access to this place's
protector,
This time, I do,
So in here, that makes me all-powerful!
Charmcaster: No!
No! [ panting ]
You think you're so smart? Lucky Girl: Yeah, kinda,
Only one of us actually goes to this school,
Charmcaster: [ growls ]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This isn't over!
No!!
Lucky Girl: It never is,
Ben: Well, there's something
you definitely don't see every day,
Kevin: Yeah, unless you're us,
Rook: And Charmcaster? She is gone?
Lucky Girl: Not without a parting threat, but I'm not worried,
She'll have a lot more to deal with next time,
Kevin: What's that supposed to mean?
Rook: I see, Charmcaster leaving this
dimension with the Hex totem left a magical vacuum in this realm,
Lucky Girl: Hex's library and
everything in it is mine now,
It's a big responsibility,
I just,,,wish I didn't have to
lose my favorite teacher to
finally get myself a real secret lair on campus,
Ben: Hmm, New secret lair, and we defeated Charmcaster, Not a bad day's work,
Rook: If you do not count all of the destruction to university property,
Kevin: [ sniffles ]
Lucky Girl: Kevin?
Are you,,,crying? Kevin: No,
No, I, uh,,, [ coughs ]
I have allergies,
Rook: Look on the bright
side -- now you have an excuse
to go back to the auto show,
Kevin: Hey! That's right!
What do you say, Rook? Give me a lift?
Rook: It would be my pleasure,
Ben: Hey! How am I supposed to get back to Bellwood?
[ door closes ]
[ beep ]
Walkatrout: Figures,
