The Forever Knights attacked.

Kuri attacked the dragon with her Hiko, disabling its mechanical parts.

Reiko knocked out most of the knights with her Fulminus attack.

Ben turned into Echo Echo, and decimated the dragon.

Kevin picked up a weapon to fire.

"Don't! It will—" Kuri started, eyes silver.

Reiko threw the weapon into the pile where it exploded.

"Ben get the rest of them!" Kuri said.

Ben echoed the weapons to dust. "Hey, are you okay? There's—" Ben transformed back. "-water leaking out of your suit."

"That's not water." Magister said.

Kuri rushed over. "Reiko heal him."

Reiko put her hands on the wound. "I cannot heal Death."

"You must find out where the level-5 tech is coming from." Magister said. "Find Max and save your planet."

"I can't do it without grandpa. I don't know how." Ben said.

"You, you are Ben Tennyson. You can do anything." Magister said.

Magister withered away into dust.

"We're all here to help." Kuri said.

"Even Kevin." Reiko nudged him.

"Yeah ok." Kevin said.

Xxx

"So how are we going to find them?" Kevin asked.

"Good ol' scrying should do the trick." Kuri said.

She took out a crystal on a string and spun it over a map. After a few seconds, it hit coordinates.

Kuri grabbed all of them and shimmered them into the mother ship.

"Disguises?" Reiko grinned and waved a hand over their faces, making them look like DNAliens.

"Ugh. Super ugly." Kuri laughed. "Better not talk. I think they'd figure us out if we did."

They headed into the ship, clustered around a mining cart.

"Kuri, getting any sense of Grandpa?" Ben whispered.

Kuri placed her hand on the metal of the ship. "Maybe. He was here but he's gone. It was so long ago that the traces are faint. There was a fight, and weapons fired, but he finished and headed off."

"We still have to finish the mission." Ben said.

"This way to the weapons room." Kevin lead them.

Reiko destroyed the weapons with her Fulminus attack.

"They'll be alerted now." Kuri sighed, reaching for them to shimmer out of there, but they were surrounded, and the aliens grabbed her wrists.

"Let her go!" Ben said, transforming. "Humongousaur!"

He attacked the DNAliens, just in time for a Highbreed to show up.

"What are you creatures doing on my ship?" Highbreed said. "I do not repeat myself to lower life-forms."

Kuri and Reiko leveled their weapons.

"You can't use them again. You'll hurt yourselves." Ben said. "Kevin get them out of here. Now!"

"Ben don't you dare—"

"Hurry!" Ben said.

Without a word, Kevin grabbed Kuri and Reiko, and, absorbing her shimmering power, got them outside the ship.

Within a few moments, the ship had exploded, and Ben landed on the ground.

"Well then. We just have to find Grandpa Max." Ben said. "And save the world."

"We did this much. So that won't be a problem." Kuri said.

"And there's already four of us, right Kevin?" Reiko said.

"Uh...right." Kevin said.

"Well...it's Hero Time!" Ben said.

"You may speak to me, half-breed vermin." Highbreed said.

"The news isn't good. Max Tennyson continues to evade us." DNAlien said.

"This is unacceptable, insect!" Highbreed said.

"If I may, master, the bad news doesn't stop there. A supply ship was destroyed in an altercation with Ben Tennyson. Master, witnesses say he has the Omnitrix." DNAlien said.

"Ben 10 is back. But he has no idea what he's up against this time. No idea at all!" Highbreed said.
