Ben 10: Alien Rebirth

Chapter 36: Secret of the Omnitrix, Part 1

We see Gwen, a close up on her face, as she says, "I hear normal kids normally spend their "normal" summer vacation at the beach…. Or the mall. Oh, that's right! We were supposed to go to the mall today."

Max, "sorry Gwen. Guess we got a little sidetracked."

We then see that he and Gwen are both being held upside down, chained to the ceiling near a large device.

And who is working on the device, but Doctor Animo!

Animo, "this nuclear reactor is the perfect way to detonate my DNA bomb into the atmosphere and de-evolutionize the world!"

Suddenly, the door to the warehouse bursts open from a burst of pink magic!

Gwen, "took them long enough."

Walking into the room was Hope, standing on a purple disc, Xylene, floating using her telepathy, and Ben, now in a new alien he had unlocked recently.

A large muscled alien with eyes all over their body.

EyeGuy.

EyeGuy, "okay Animo. Science class is canceled!"

Animo, "fool. In less than a minute, the world will get a lesson it will never forget! In the meantime, see my latest creation!"

The heroes look up to see a giant mutated hornet! It races towards the heroes, who all dodge it as it tries to sting the ground!

EyeGuy shoots a bright green laser from their chest, hitting the hornet!

Amino tries to cover his escape by shooting at the chains holding up Max and Gwen!

The two start falling, but Xylene quickly catches them with her telekinesis as Hope shoots bolts of magical energy at Animo!

The hornet manages to smack EyeGuy away, but the alien manages to shoot several green beams at the ceiling, sending a large chunk of the ceiling on top of the hornet!

As they succeed in trapping the hornet, Animo yells, "there's no way you can shut it down in time!"

He quickly jumps atop another hornet and begins flying away.

EyeGuy decides for a more direct approach, "if I can't shut it down, I'll just have to turn it up."

EyeGuy shoots a devastating energy beam and continues pouring it on until the machines begin bursting with steam.

Gwen, "Ben! Stop! We don't know what that's going to do!"

EyeGuy, "can't be any worse than what's going to happen if I don't."

The blast successfully overloads the system and shorts out the bomb's timer, neutralizing the threat!

EyeGuy, "whoo! That did it!"

Hope, "nice work, Ben!"

Unfortunately, a siren blares and the bomb releases an energy wave that hits EyeGuy!

The Omnitrix crackles with energy and the Omnitrix times out, causing EyeGuy to revert back into Ben and Animo flies away with the Mutant Hornet, yelling, "curse you, Tennyson! I won't lose next time!"

Max, Xylene, Hope and Gwen run over to make sure Ben is alright.

Xylene, "are you alright?"

Ben, "ugh, yeah. That just stung a little. But we can't worry about that now. Animo's getting away!"

Hope, "but the watch is-"

Suddenly, the watch springs to life, glowing orange and recharging instantly.

Hope, "-recharged?"

Ben, "alright! That was quick! Time to get Animo!"

Ben ran forward as Max said, "but Ben, the watch…."

Ben, "no time to question it. Animo's gonna get away if StinkFly doesn't chase after him!"

Ben slams the watch down, but as he transforms into StinkFly, the watch starts to spark, and StinkFly suddenly turns into WildMutt! Then DiamondHead! Then BuzzShock, Doomstone, and finally, GreyMatter.

GreyMatter, "sometimes I think this thing just plain hates me."

Hope picks up her boyfriend and says, "I'm sure you'll think of something."

GreyMatter suddenly remembers a certain item he has, and says, "oh yeah, I got something…."

….

Animo flies into a room with vats of toxic sludge, already plotting his revenge.

But as he's flying, grumbling to himself, he hears, "hey! Freakazoid!"

Animo turns, but is slugged in the face by GreyMatter as he flies in on his hoverboard.

Animo growls in rage as he chases after the small alien on their hoverboard.

Unfortunately for GreyMatter, Animo's hornet is faster than him, and it quickly swats at the hoverboard, shattering it into pieces and falling into a vat. GreyMatter is grabbed by Animo as they are going into the air, and subsequently tries to fling them into a vat!

Luckily, GreyMatter manages to grab a chain hanging over it.

Amino cackled at the sight, but his arrogance turned out to be his downfall, as he wasn't prepared to crash into a wall with his Mutant Hornet and is pinned under it, securing him long enough for the police to arrive.

GreyMatter reverts back into Ben and falls!

Ben, "aaahhh!"

"Histus Potiva!"

"Histus Potiva!"

But Ben is stopped in midair, and sees Gwen and Hope standing there, having saved him from falling into the vat.

He chuckled and said, "thanks guys…."

….

With that crisis averted, Max takes Gwen to the mall like they were supposed to that day.

Gwen is looking over a blue vest and black miniskirt and says to herself, "maybe I should let my hair grow longer?"

Hope was looking over makeup. She was thinking of dying the edges of her hair purple. Maybe some black lipstick? She wanted to add to her look.

Meanwhile, Ben is pretending to fight a mannequin. Much to the chagrin of the employee who had to stop the mannequin from falling to the ground and breaking apart.

The employee, "this is a store, not a fighting ring. Don't do this again, or you'll be forced to leave the store."

Ben gave a reluctant nod as the employee walked off, and Gwen and Hope walked over to him.

Gwen, "can't you go to a store and not cause trouble?"

Ben shrugged and said, "I can't help it if trouble seems to follow us wherever we go."

Hope giggled, "come on, let's see if we can't find you some new threads."

Ben, "but Hope, I don't need new clothes. What I got is fine."

Hope, "you wear the same outfit every day!"

Ben, "can't change perfection."

Hope, "oh really….", she grabs Ben's left arm, "challenge accepted."

….

Later on when Ben is finished putting on new clothes….

Ben, "I look like a dork."

The outfit is a black T-shirt, blue Jeans, and new shoes.

Hope, "maybe. But how about this?"

She grabs a comb and brushes Ben's hair into a less spiky style.

Ben, "oh man, this is even worse….:

Hopen "still not quite it", she grabs Ben's jacket and puts it on Ben, "perfect!"

Ben, "I guess it looks a bit better."

Hope, "you just need to grow into the outfit, that's all."

Ben, "yeah, right."

Hope kisses Ben on the check, "love you too."

Ben blushes as he quickly changes back into his normal outfit and rejoins the others as Gwen is sporting some new sunglasses she bought.

Suddenly, the Omnitrix sparks orange.

Hope, "uh oh…. What'd you do now?"

Ben, "I didn't do anything!'

The sparking intensifies and sends the three of them flying into the employee from before and a stack of boxes.

As the employee glared at them, a bra fell on Ben's head, and he said, "uh…. Heh, not my size?"

….

We see the Tennysons standing outside of the mall.

Gwen, "you got us kicked out of there! Ugh!"

Ben, "sorry! I didn't know the watch was gonna go coo coo out of the blue like that!"

Xylene, "calm down, you two. We'll figure out what's going on with the Omnitrix later."

Max, "Xylene's right. It's getting dark out. Let's head to camp."

The kids nodded as the group piled into the RV and drove off.

As they drove, they walked for a bit.

Gwen, "honestly, it was just lucky you didn't blow us all to kingdom come."

Max, "I checked the DNA bomb before we left. Animo must have wired it to the reactor so in case his machine was disabled, the reactor wouldn't explode. I'd say we definitely got off lucky Ben."

Ben, "yeah, whoops…."

But little did they know of the trouble they would soon face….

….

We later see the group sleeping in the RustBucket.

Gwen and Hope shared a bunk, while Ben had one to himself.

Xylene and Max shared another bunk.

While the five are asleep inside of the Rust Bucket, a bright light wakes the Tennysons up!

Ben, "ngh, morning already?"

Hope groggily checks the clock, but is shocked as she says, "it's 3AM!"

They look outside and it is revealed to be a giant ship landing next to the Rust Bucket.

The group runs out, and as the ship opens up, Ben starts to dial the watch and says, "let's see how Frankenstrike likes this jerk-"

But suddenly, a diamond shard shoots in front of the group!

Xylene, "a petrosapien crystal?"

Gwen, "wait, that means…."

Out of the ship walks Tetrax!

Ben, "Tetrax!"

Tetrax, "it's good to see you Ben. Gwen. Max. And I'm surprised to see you here, Xylene."

Xylene, "good to see you too, Tetrax."

Tetrax looks at Hope and says, "I don't think we've met."

Hope, "I'm Hope. Nice to meet you. I, uh, I'm Ben's girlfriend."

Tetrax, "ah, so you found a life mate?"

Ben and Hope both blushed like ripe tomatoes.

Gwen diffused the awkwardness and said, "the last time we saw you was when we fought Kraab and SixSix together."

Tetrax, "while I'm happy to see you all again, I came here because of the signal I received."

Ben, "signal? Oh! Uh, yeah, I'm sorry to tell you this, but that hoverboard you got me was destroyed, and-"

Tetrax, "I'm not here about that."

Ben, "oh! Then, what're you here for?"

Tetrax, "I picked up the 'SDM' signal from the Omnitrix."

Ben, "SDM? Is this another glitch?"

Xylene, meanwhile, held a terrified look as Max said, "SDM? Self Destruct Mode?!"

The entire group all gave worried expressions as Ben stared down at the watch.

Tetrax, "it's natural for the Omnitrix to broadcast a signal when it begins its countdown. And I happened to get the signal."

Xylene, "this isn't good. The destruction this could cause could be astronomical!"

Ben, "wait, the watch is going to destroy itself!?"

Tetrax, "and whoever is wearing it."

Hope looks at Ben, terrified at the thought of her boyfriend blowing up.

Tetrax, "can you recall when the SDM mode was activated in the first place?"

Ben thinks for a moment, and this leads him back to when they fought Animo at the reactor, and when Animo's machine had hit the watch with hag strange energy.

Ben, "hmm, must be another mystery."

Gwen, "really…. You can't think of anything?"

Ben shrugs and says, "what does it matter? The good news is that Tetrax is here to fix it!"

He holds out the watch, but Tetrax says, "I have no idea how to restabilize the Omnitrix. Only Azmuth does."

Hope, "who's Azmuth?"

Xylene, "Azmuth was the creator of the Omnitrix. And an important figure among the Plumbers. Only a few Plumbers ever got to meet him in person."

Tetrax, "I only ever sent him my DNA for the Omnitrix. But if I can find Azmuth's DNA signature on the Omnitrix with the equipment in my ship, we can use that to find him. May I have a look?"

Ben nods and holds out the watch for Tetrax to look at.

Tetrax, "after taking a look at the Omnitrix's pattern repetition, I estimate that we have less than four Earth days to deactivate the SDM before the countdown reaches zero. We better get a move on."

Ben nods in agreement.

….

It's a little later. Ben and Hope are now dressed up in their usual clothes. They would be going with Tetrax to find Azmuth.

Max, Gwen and Xylene were there to see them off.

Tetrax, "I'm sorry you and Xylene can't come, Max. But the risk would be too great if any aliens recognized you two from your days as Plumbers."

Xylene, "we understand. We wanna keep the situation low."

Ben, "don't worry, we'll fix this thing before you can say Null Void."

Max, "Ben, take this seriously. This is no laughing matter."

Ben sighs and says, "okay. We'll see you soon…."

Ben runs onto the ship as Hope says, "don't worry you guys. I'll make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble."

Hope walks into the ship as Tetrax says, "we'll see you again soon…."

Soon, all three of them are on the ship, And it takes off, leaving Max and Xylene to watch it go, unaware of a certain missing kid….

….

Ben and Hope are impressed by Tetrax's ship when he gives them a tour of the whole place.

Various rooms that held various functions, until they reached the main bridge of the ship.

Tetrax, "now it's time you meet my crew."

The first thing they saw was a large orange slime alien with three eyes.

Ben, "woah. Living snot."

Tetrax, "that's Gluto. Our pilot."

Gluto made some strange noises as Hope said, "hello."

Next to walk forward was a woman with armor strikingly similar to SixSix's.

Tetrax, "my first mate, EightEight."

Ben, "EightEight? Any relation to SixSix?"

EightEight nodded and spoke into a device that translated her words.

"Yes, I'm that idiot's sister. Just be glad you didn't meet my other brother, SevenSeven."

Hope, "do all of your siblings have those names?"

EightEight nodded and said, "yes. At least my baby sister, TwoTwo, is an angel."

Next to walk up was a face Ben was very familiar with.

Tetrax, "and here's our muscle of the crew-"

Ben, "Technorg!"

Technorg, "Ben Tennyson!"

The two approached on another, and Ben quickly shook his hand.

Tetrax, "oh, you two already know each other?"

Ben, "yeah. I once got abducted by this Slix Vigma guy, and Technorg helped me get back to Earth. I was worried about you, buddy."

Technorg, "the feeling is mutual, buddy."

Tetrax, "well, you knowing each other will make this journey a little easier. Now, let's get ready for takeoff."

The group nodded as they got strapped into their seats, and the ship began to pick up speed and left Earth's atmosphere.

As the ship settled down and began gliding through space, Tetrax said, "it's gonna take a minute for the artificial gravity to kick in."

Ben smirked as he unbuckled himself and began flying through the air in a goofy manner.

Hope began snickering, but had to quickly use her magic to keep him from falling when the artificial gravity kicked in!

Tetrax, "now, let's take a look at the watch…."

….

In another section of the galaxy, a group of aliens were being forced into an escape pod.

And standing at the entrance to it was none other than Vilgax! He had somehow managed to escape the Null Void!

Vilgax, "thank you for letting me, 'borrow', your ship…."

Vilgax sent the pod away as he began tracking the SDM signal with several drones the ship used.

Vilgax said, "the Omnitrix will finally be mine! And Tennyson won't live through our next encounter!"

….

Hope stood next to Tetrax as Ben was being scanned by a rather large machine.

Hope, "are you sure this is safe? I don't wanna accidentally microwave Ben."

Tetrax, "don't worry, I've had many of these tests performed on myself. Never felt a thing."

Ben, "but don't you have diamond-hard skin?"

Tetrax, "... good point. I'm sure you'll be fine."

Tetrax begins performing the tests, as a holographic display of the watch floats around them. Tetrax scanned the inner components, but didn't seem to find anything.

Tetrax, "I can't find Azmuth's DNA Signature."

Ben, "wait! I have an idea! Check the back very back!"

Tetrax, "huh?"

Hope, "I think I get it. Artists will often add a personal signature to their work."

Ben, "yeah, and I remember when my dad got my mom a watch for their anniversary, he had their initials engraved into it."

Tetrax does so, and finds a personal signature on the wrist of the watch!

Tetrax, "I've got it! Good work, you two."

The kids smiled as Tetrax began tracking the signal. But he gave a worried look and said, "oh great. Incarcecon."

Hope, "Incarcecon?"

Tetrax, "a prison planet. One that's incredibly hard to get in and out of it."

Ben, "why is Azmuth in a place like that?"

Tetrax, "who knows…."

Suddenly, an alarm goes off from the lower level!

Ben, "what's going on?"

Tetrax, "someone's stowed away on the ship. Come on, it's coming from the cargo hold…."

….

Tetrax, EightEight, Ben and Hope were now in the cargo hold, prepared to find the intruder.

Ben, "XLR8 should be able to speed around and find them."

Ben dials the watch, but when he hits the dial, he turns into SilverFang!

SilverFang, "oh, great. An overgrown dog."

Tetrax, "that'll actually help. Luna Loboan's have amazing senses for tracking."

SilverFang smiled and said, "huh, I guess I got a better alien this time…."

EightEight, "let's split up. Tetrax and I will go one way. You two go the other way."

SilverFang and Hope nodded before walking off.

Hope asked, "can you smell anything with those enhanced senses of yours?"

SilverFang, "hmm…. Sniff sniff, I got something!"

SilverFang dashed forward, using his senses to track the intruder, and quickly pounced!

When he did so, Hope ran forward, and they found out that the intruder…. Was Gwen!

SilverFang, "Gwen?!"

Gwen, "yes! Ngh, now get off of me you fluffy dweeb!"

SilverFang got off of Gwen as Hope asked, "what're you doing here?"

Gwen, "I figured that you two would need backup."

SilverFang, "yeah right. We can manage without ya…."

But as SilverFang crosses his arms, he accidentally knocks into a button!

SilverFang, "oops."

The hatch in the hangar suddenly opens!

SilverFang, Hope and Gwen start to get sucked out into space from the action!

SilverFang digs their claws into the ground as Hope and Gwen hang onto him! But the force of the auction is too much, and the three of them start flying towards the open space!

But before they can be sucked into space, the hatch closes!

The three of them crash to the ground, SilverFang breaking the girls fall before turning back into Ben!

All three look up to see Tetrax and EightEight running to them.

EightEight, "are you kids alright?"

Ben, "ngh, yeah. Even after they fell on me."

The kids get to their feet.

Tetrax, "Gwen, what're you doing here?"

Gwen, "I couldn't just stand by when the watch is about to blow up. I wanted to help you guys take care of the situation."

Tetrax, "well, it's already too late to turn back, so-"

That's when the watch blinks orange for a moment. When the blinking stops, the orange light on the watch is slightly bigger.

Tetrax, "oh no…. This isn't good."

Ben, "what? What's wrong?"

EightEight, "it looks like the countdown has accelerated!"

Hope, "holy crap! How?!"

Tetrax, "using your alien transformations must speed up the countdown! We better keep transforming for emergencies only until the watch is deactivated."

Ben and the others nodded as they made their way back to the bridge….

….

We later see Ben playing in Tetrax's hoverboard simulator, pretending he's flying through the sky, going twice as high.

Hope is right beside him, using her magic to form a small tornado around her legs.

Gwen is seemingly standing in midair as she said, "are ya gonna take this seriously? You're not worried at all?"

Ben, "nah. It should be really simple to solve this problem. We find Azmuth, he fixes the watch, and we get back home."

Gwen, "yeah, but I don't think Grandpa and Grandma would appreciate us getting vaporized. And besides, Tetrax said that Azmuth would deactivate the Omnitrix, not fix it."

Ben looks shocked before he loses his balance and nearly falls if it weren't for Hope catching him.

Ben, "what? But, I thought-"

Tetrax walked in with Technorg and said, "Gwen's right. I honestly thought you'd be happy to be rid of the watch."

Technorg, "I agree with Tetrax. Wouldn't you be happier without it?"

Ben, "well, uh, I dunno…. I've kinda gotten used to it, y'know. Besides, is the blast really that big of a deal?"

The watch suddenly releases another burst of energy like it did back at the mall, and this time, Ben goes flying and gets zapped hard, falling to the ground.

Hope yelled, "Ben!"

She ran over to Ben and helped him sit up, showing his hair standing on end.

Ben, "ugh, okay, point taken…."

….

In the control room, Gwen is talking with Gluto as the ship approaches Incarcecon.

Gwen, "that's really interesting. You have a lot of talent for this."

Gluto gave his version of, "aw shucks", as Ben, Hope and Technorg watched them talking.

Hope asked, "how can she understand him?"

Ben shrugged as Technorg says, "I don't know. Maybe she can somehow understand all aliens?"

Ben, "makes sense. She can somehow understand WildMutt."

Unfortunately, Gwen and Gluto's conversation is cut short when they approach and the defense systems begin to activate.

The Incarcecon communication system hails them, "attention, you need proper authorization or your ship will be destroyed."

Tetrax enters multiple codes just before the Incarcecon cannons fire until he finds the right one. He programs the ship to appear as a garbage truck and it is accepted into the prison.

They land in a garbage disposal bay.

Tetrax, "I've programmed a scanner with Azmuth's signature. We should be able to find them. EightEight, Gluto, you keep the ship ready for an escape."

EightEight and Gluto nodded.

Tetrax, "it's too dangerous for the prisoners to see Ben, Hope and Gwen as humans. They'll need a disguise."

Technorg, "I'll go get it."

Hope, "I've got an idea for mine."

Hope muttered a spell, and one of her little stone creatures formed over her like armor, covering her face and making her look like a rock alien.

Tetrax, "good work."

Technorg comes in with a small box.

He hands it to Ben and Gwen, who open it up, and both give looks that say, "really?!"

….

We see the small group walking through Incarcecon.

Tetrax is wearing an elaborate poncho to hide his armor and weapons.

Technorg wears a hooded cloak.

Hope looked over her shoulder as Ben and Gwen followed in a goofy looking costume of StinkFly.

Ben, "I can barely see in this thing."

Gwen, "you think that's bad? Try being the butt of this thing!"

As they walk on, they don't notice another prisoner walking after them.

Tetrax turns to the others and says, "I'm gonna go see if I can find anything. Stay here."

Technorg, "yessir."

Hope, "you got it."

Ben didn't say anything at first.

Tetrax, "Ben?"

Ben, "alright, I'll stay put."

Tetrax, "good."

Tetrax walked off, leaving the small group standing there among the various convicts that were walking around.

Ben looks to an upper level for a second, and he sees a familiar sight. To him, at least.

A cloaked figure with tentacles coming out of the hood.

Ben, "no way! How did he get out?"

Gwen, "what? What is it!?"

Ben, "him! If I'm gonna have to give up going hero, at least I can take Vilgax down once and for all! It's hero time!"

Ben slams down on the watch, turning him into Upchuck, who runs out of the suit and towards the figure he thinks is Vilgax!

Gene is left holding her half of the costume, yelling, "Ben! Get back here!"

Several prisoners look at Gwen as she nervously chuckles and says, "hi."

Hope looks to Technorg and says, "I'll go after Ben. You protect Gwen."

Technorg nods as Hope races after her boyfriend.

Upchuck runs to the figure and yells, "I'm gonna chew you up and spit you out!"

He grabs a nearby ball of scrap and swallows it before he begins shooting projectiles at the figure as they dash away from the blasts of energy.

Hope starts using her magic to blast the figure as well, but her shots also miss.

Tetrax sees all of this going on and tries to run and help them, but is punched in the face and onto his back!

He gets back up and sees the culprit was the prisoner that was following Tetrax, who takes off their cloak and reveals themself to be SixSix!

Tetrax, "SixSix. Why am I not surprised? I'll tell your sister you said hi after I knock your lights out!"

SixSix screeched in rage as they ran at Tetrax.

Tetrax and SixSix begin fighting as Upchuck and the prisoner that looks like Vilgax fight with each other.

The cloak is torn off of the prisoner, and Hope gets a good look at them before Upchuck does.

She tries to say, "wait, Ben, that's not-"

But he doesn't listen, and ends up getting lifted into the air by his tail.

The prisoner speaks in a deep yet feminine voice, "what the Hell are you doing?!"

Upchuck is shocked and says, "that voice!? Hey! You're not Vilgax! You're a girl!"

Yep, the prisoner is revealed to be a female member of the Chimera Sui Generis species, aka: Vilgax's people.

She says, "yeah, I know", before she kicks Upchuck away, back to Gwen and Technorg, with Hope quickly running over to them.

Ben reverts back into Ben as Gwen says, "Ben, you okay?"

Ben, "fine. Just remind me not to do that again."

Gwen, "I get the feeling you wouldn't listen even if I did."

A large number of prisoners suddenly surround the group.

Technorg, "I believe you Earthlings say in times like this; 'oh shit?'"

Hope, "an accurate statement."

One prisoner yells, "how the flark did he do that!?"

Another prisoner, the same species as StinkFly, a Lepidopterran, yells, "the Omnitrix! He's wearing the Omnitrix!"

Technorg and Hope try to shield the two of them with their larger frames as Ben tries to activate the Omnitrix to transform into an alien, but the Omnitrix is timed out and has to recharge.

Ben, "dammit. Just my luck!"

Gwen grabs a nearby pipe to defend herself, as does Ben.

One prisoner exclaimed, "be careful! He could turn into any one of us!"

Another said, "yeah, but if the hatchling knew how to control it, he would have done so already!"

The Lepidopterran yells, "I don't care! This kid is my ticket off of here!"

He tries flying at them, but Technorg punches them away and yells, "kids, run!"

Hope quickly helps Technorg fight off the prisoners as Gwen and Ben back up.

Tetrax and SixSix fight with each other when Tetrax sees the commotion.

He quickly tosses SixSix away from him and climbs onto a hoverboard.

He speeds towards the others as they fight off the prisoners.

As a Tetramand with a missing eye tries to grab Ben, the female Chimera Sui Generis arrives and kicks them over the railing!

Ben, "thanks."

She looks down and recognizes the Omnitrix.

She asks, "what the heck are you doing with the Omnitrix?"

Ben shields the watch and asks, "what's it to you?"

She said, "considering that I built the damned thing, that makes it my business."

Ben, "you created this thing? You're Azmuth!? Please, we've been searching for you! Something's wrong with the watch!"

She said, "yeah, I can see that! It's attached to a hatchling!"

As a prisoner tries to grab Ben, Gwen yells, "Segma Sofom", and this knocks the prisoner into a wall and knocks them out.

Ben looks at Gwen and says, "thanks!"

Gwen, "don't thank me yet, we gotta get outta here first!"

Ben nods and looks to the creator and says, "please, we need your help to fix the watch."

She said, "if you can get me outta here, I'll take a look at it."

Ben nods before a prisoner suddenly grabs him!

As they try to carry him away, the Omnitrix discharges energy again, and this time knocks him unconscious when he's sent flying into a wall.

However, it did provide the kind of cover they all needed to escape.

Gwen, Hope, Technorg and Tetrax rush over to Ben, and he wakes up.

Technorg speaks into a communicator, saying, "Gluto, EightEight, we need a pickup!"

EightEight replied, "got it!"

The group runs off as Ben yells, "wait, Tetrax! The creator!"

The group runs to a balcony as they're surrounded by prisoners!

Just when it looks like the jig is up, The ship flies over and opens up!

The five of them manage to make it inside, but the prisoners follow and grab on!

The ship flies off as Tetrax and Technorg start knocking prisoners off of the ship!

But Tetrax is about to punch 'Azmuth' off, Ben yells, "wait, Tetrax! That's the creator!"

Tetrax looks at 'Azmuth', before punching a prisoner that was behind her!

A group of drones begin following after the ship with the Lepidopterran flying right by them!

They yell, "you're not leaving without me!"

But as they try to fly at them, EightEight flies up and shoots them into one of the drones!

Technorg yelled, "everyone get inside! We need to get out of here!"

Hope yelled, "you heard the man!"

The group quickly runs into the ship as Gluto pilots them through the prison's defenses!

They barely are able to escape the prison and fly off with the creator.

But SixSix and another prisoner are hanging onto the ship.

The prisoner gives a thumbs up, but SixSix shoots him off the ship in irritation.

And as a comeuppance, SixSix is shot off of the ship, flying off into space….

Reviews:

Guest: Lenopans, Highbreed, eventually an Anodite, (won't spoil how), one of the Dragon aliens, Rook's species, Khyber's species, Vreedle, Osmosian.

Monkey D. Conan: well, I'm glad you liked the chapter and are excited for more.

ALXRules: thanks. And maybe I'll do a Ben x Elena story one day.

Guest: sorry. Wasn't sure.

OMNISENSE95: from what I can gather from the Ben 10 wiki; it's an alien term for idiot or punk.

kashriramji: um…. Good ideas, but…. None of that happens in my story. At all. Xylene stays on Earth. She doesn't leave. And in this continuity, it's impossible for Ben to get her species into the watch, since there are no males in her species. Also, Verdona isn't going to be such a bitch to Ben in this story. Ever. She'd still show him some affection, just not as much as Gwen. Where did you get all these ideas from, anyway? They're good, but not gonna happen in this story at all.

Ultimatrix 105: thanks. As for the ID mask; I always assumed it only affected someone's appearance, not their ability to eat or drink. When I do my Ben 10 and Teen Titans crossover harem story, I don't wanna add too many girls. But you can suggest them. You had some good choices here, but some of these girls wouldn't make sense in this AU, or even in canon. Examples: Eunice was created from Gwen's DNA. Basically; she's Ben and Gwen's sort of sibling. So they shouldn't be romantic. Jennifer Nocturn is much older than Ben and any feelings she had for him were due to his fame. Rojo and her team are also much older than Ben and don't really have any chemistry with him. Emily and Ben dated once, but it didn't work out. Ben has no idea who Pinky and Missy are in canon, this story, or the crossover. I didn't even know who Lorelei is, but I think she'd make a better love interest for Aqualad in my crossover. I don't know how I'd fit in a female Lenopan or a female member of Uxorite. And there will be NO Saiyans in the story, or any OC's from 5YL. And as a final note, this story isn't going to be a harem story. The Teen Titans crossover will be. So if you'd like, suggest more girls for that story, vote on the poll, and make sure any girls you think of would make sense. Thanks for sharing all your ideas. You're pretty cool.

epantoja521: thanks.

kashriramji: interesting ideas. Love the Ultimatrix idea and how it would play out in all the versions you thought of. The classic Ben finding a completed Omnitrix is pretty neat. Especially with the useless aliens being replaced with reboot ones. Although I think ones like Overflow and that X shaped alien are pointless. The reboot idea is good, but I'm not really a fan of the reboot. Especially how much the roster would change. And again; Overflow is just a lamer Water Hazard! Although I like the idea of Ben keeping the watch on, the watch not recalibrating, Ben unlocks the Ultimate function in his own watch and not taking the completed Omnitrix and Ben finally getting master control. All in all, pretty neat ideas for future stories.

alexcream: thanks.

Ushindi: thanks. I'm glad you liked the chapter and its OC's in it. And yeah, missed opportunity.

Omnicaster: thanks. Glad you liked it.

Guest: glad you liked my start of season 4 being a a flashback chapter. The flashback episodes from Omniverse will most likely be done after Race Against Time. I'm glad you liked what I did for the last chapter involving Malware and Phil being built up for the Negative 10.

….

And thus we start off Secret of the Omnitrix.

This was originally gonna be one chapter, but this got so long that I split it into two.

I'm not complaining though, since I love this movie.

Tetrax's crew is now larger, consisting of him, Gluto, Technorg, and EightEight.

Ben uses Silverfang instead of WildMutt, since I wanted to do something different.

I set this movie after The Visitor, since that seems like the proper place in the timeline.
