Okay so I'm going to explain the whole "when" concept.
This takes place after "The Secret Saturdays" episode, "War of the Cryptids." It also occurs after the "Generator Rex" episode, "Written in Sand." As for its place in the "Ben 10" Timeline: I'll let you know.
The three groups made their way toward the attic…
Gwen was getting worried. The corrupt Mana signature was changing into something dark… She didn't want to see what was housing it.
Noah wasn't looking forward to this either. He had the worst feeling in his gut. It felt like he was told to move to Abyssus.
Zak sensed the energy, but it didn't feel right. It didn't seem like Zak Monday, it was darker…
Then all three groups entered the room at once. The three groups looked at one another in confusion. Zak M. just stood there and smiled.
Gwen was right. The Mana signature, once with an unusual greenish glow was now jet-black.
Zak M(?): … … we need a different setting. (Then he snapped his fingers and suddenly the whole room was swallowed in darkness. When it faded away every one was out cold except for Zoey…)
Zoey: Zak!
Meanwhile, in an unknown location…
Argost: So… that is what you know of the events during my absence.
Munya: Yes.
Argost: hmm… the two other "tyrants" may be worth while… Bring them to me…
Munya: Yes master.
Little do they know that they were overheard by someone; A man… in a lab coat…
Meanwhile in an alleyway back in New York…
Axel: What's the big idea?(He went to confront Saïx, who Axel knew was the cause of this.)
Saïx: I simply… encouraged young Monday to… take action.
Axel: Really? And I'm guessing that both the great Ben 10 and the hero from Providence just HAPPENED to have stumbled across this info?
Saïx: So? There aren't that many of us left…
Axel had it… he left, without another word…
Authors Note: I WILL REVEAL NO SPOILERS! Oh and in case you didn't know, Zak M. was also unconscious
