Plumbers' Kids is the thirteenth Ben 10: Alien Force comic story published in the Cartoon Network Action Pack series, published by DC and Cartoon Network. This comic appears in issue 43 of the series. It is the second of three prequels to Alien Swarm.
Plot
The book begins with Elena Valadis and Ben walking together after soccer practice. They both go to an ice cream stand, but they're being watched by a mysterious figure dressed in a hat and coat, who revealed himself as Scorn, who wants revenge on Max for trapping him in the Null Void.
Ben turns into Four Arms and after being attacked by Scorn, Elena came to the rescue by kicking the soccer ball towards Four Arms, who kicks it at Scorn, knocking him down. However, the man who runs the ice cream stand turns out to be also a criminal who was imprisoned in the Null Void and pulls out a freeze cannon, joining the fight. Just as Scorn and the ice cream man fire the freeze cannon, Four Arms punches a nearby fire hydrant open and drenches them in water, freezing themselves.
Elena explains to Ben that as soon as she saw the Omnitrix on his wrist, she knew who he was because of the stories that her dad, Victor Validus, told her. She says that her dad was a plumber who was on familiar terms with Max and had saved the world a couple of times for good measure. Then they grab a couple of ice lollies and walk away.
