AN: Thank you all for the support that you have given me for making this fanfic. I am very sorry for the delay. Between me, my life, Deviantart, and Fanfiction, I have a packed schedule so I find whatever time I have to squeeze writing this fanfic. I may however make a Q&A for this fanfic so we got that going on. Either way, I hope you enjoy this fanfiction.

To Draegoon: Thank you for your review, and I find your theory to be quite believable.

To johnymike98: That information has now been retconned. Upgrade can go Omni-Kix and it would allow him to gain powers similar to Malware (being able to fuse with machines for new weaponry). But Upgrade can't go Omni-Kix when bonding with an Omni-Kix alien.

To Amanny: I know right. I'd tell you when Prime Ben gets the Omni-Kix enhancement, but I'd rather not spoil the surprise.


Chapter 10: Revenge of the Vilgaxs

The Proto-TRUK was in a chase following Queen Bee, who had just finished a crime spree with her giant bee mech. Queen Bee looks like a normal bumblebee, except being really big. She is yellow with black stripes. She has two pale colored arms and wears white gloves. She only has two black legs. The bottom of her torso is black. She has two light blue colored wings. She has two black antennae and has short brown hair. She looks like she has a part of a white furry coat on her neck. Her teeth are sharp and white. She has orange eyes and red lips. She also has a black stinger.

"We might need a little assistance in capturing the Queen of Bees Bens," Rook said at the wheel.

"Don't worry, Jetray is clear for take off," Prime Ben, in the shotgun, said before turning into Lodestar. He has a magnetically floating metal skull-shaped head that has a yellow eyebrow-like crest on his forehead, and lines beneath his mouth. His head is surrounded by a glowing green aura and levitates in an arch between his shoulders. He has crab-like claws for hands, and his body is mainly brownish-black with yellow feet, hands, shoulders, and chest. The yellow from his feet go up to his thighs, his shoulders are big, and the yellow stripes by his chest are shorter. He wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

"Seriously. Why do I even bother calling them out anymore?" Lodestar asked, "Just try to get me close."

Lodestar opened the door and got out of the Porto-TRUK while still holding onto it. When the Proto-TRUK got close enough to the bee mech, Lodestar jumped and grabbed onto the mech. Lodestar used his magnetokinesis to take away the metal box of loot that the mech was carrying, and magnetically destroyed the bottom legs so that it couldn't get the loot back.

"Why you little brat!" Queen Bee said before shaking the mech to make Lodestar fall off of it. Lodestar held on and launched himself to the top of the mech to try to break into the cockpit. But Queen Bee saw this and electrocuted the entire mech, forcing Lodestar off, but Lodestar hit his Omnitrix symbol and turned into a different alien.

Lodestar transformed into a red, humanoid manta ray-like alien with three green eyes, black outlines on his face, yellow horns extending from his nose, sharp teeth, lightning bolt-shaped gills underneath his arms, yellow patagia, three-fingered hands, feet that each had two toes and one back toe, two small spikes coming out of the top of his head, and a spike on each of his elbows. He wore black briefs green leg bands and a green waistband with a white stripe, black elbow-length fingerless gloves with a green arm opening, green cuffs with a white stripe, black toeless boots with green top edges, and a green shirt that stopped below his chest, with black on the sides and two black lightning bolt-like stripes coming down from his shoulders to the Omnitrix symbol on his chest. This alien was Prime Ben's version of Jetray.

Jetray flew back towards the bee mech and flew past it.

"Jetray! Now we're talking," Jetray said.

Jetray fired his neuroshock beams at the mech and was flying towards it. Queen Bee activated the laser cannons on the mech and one fired a laser at Jetray. Jetray countered the attack by firing neuroshock beams from his eyes, which clashed with the laser, and fired a neuroshock beam from his tail, destroying the cannon. Jetray avoided a few more laser blasts from the other cannons.

"Looks like the other me could use some help," Reboot Ben said before turning into XLR8. He then turned his Omnitrix symbol sideways and was enveloped from head to toe in Omni-Kix armor. His head, back fins, arms, knees, and shins are covered in blue plating, while his arms and shins have green downward curves in them. His thighs, chest, and tail are covered in gray plating and his abdomen is covered in black and white plating. The Omnitrix symbol is on his chest connected by four gray tubes. He was now Omni-Kix XLR8.

Omni-Kix XLR8 hopped out of the Proto-TRUK and ran towards the bee mech.

"Wooo! Bet it'll take more than a bee to sting me now," Omni-Kix XLR8 said before running up to the side of the mech's cockpit with Jetray soaring next to him.

"Excuse me! You're speeding in a "no speed" zone Ma'am. I'm gonna have to pull you over," Omni-Kix XLR8 said.

"Fat chance darling!" Queen Bee responded.

"Suit yourself," Omni-Kix XLR8 said before going hypersonic, "Dynamic. Hypersonic Smash!"

Omni-Kix XLR8 slammed into the side of the mech, but Queen Bee retaliated by grabbing Omni-Kix XLR8 with the frontal legs and dragging him across the road.

"Take this!" Queen Bee said, still dragging Omni-Kix XLR8.

"Man I hate bees! Well, bees like you anyway," Omni-Kix XLR8 said.

"Just stay out of my buzz-ness," Queen Bee said, slowing down.

"Hey, you're gonna have to try waaaaay harder. I couldn't feel a thing in this armor," Omni-Kim XLR8 said, "Uh oh."

Queen Bee's mech hovered over Omni-Kix XLR8 with the rockets on the abdomen.

"You thought a regular bee sting was bad? Try this!" Queen Bee said before using the rockets to blast an explosion at Omni-Kix XLR8, which sent him underground and sent Jetray back.

Queen Bee laughed before saying, "Silly children. I'm unstoppable now with my Buzz Bomber. Buh-bye now."

She sped off in her mech with Jetray following her, shooting neuroshock beams straight at the mech, while avoiding cannon fire. Meanwhile Omni-Kix XLR8 was tunneling underground at hypersonic speeds.

"What is this alien gibberish?" Omni-Kix XLR8 asked under the visor, before it moved aside for Omni-Kix XLR8 to see, "Oh, that's better."

"Oh I'm running underground!" Omni-Kix XLR8 said, noticing what was happening, "THIS IS AWESOME!"

While underground, Omni-Kix XLR8 sped in front of the mech before bursting out of the ground and speeding straight towards the cockpit.

"Surprise!" Omni-Kix XLR8 said.

"NOOOOO!" Queen Bee yelled in defeat.

Omni-Kix XLR8 sped through the mech, destroying the entire thing and sending Queen Bee flying into the air for Jetray to catch with his feet.

"Let me go you flying freak!" Queen Bee said.

"Keep complaining and I might just do so," Jetray said.

After the police arrived, Queen Bee was netted, courtesy of Rook and his Proto-Tool, and shoved into the back of a police car to be sent to prison. Both Bens gave each other a fist-bump before they went into the Proto-TRUK with the Rustbucket following them.


Meanwhile on the Chimerian Hammer…

Both Vilgaxs were watching the event from their monitors, and planning their next move.

"Celebrate while you still can Tennysons. For we will strike hard and swift," Reboot Vilgax said.

"But for now, we won't come for you, but you will come towards us," Prime Vilgax said, "and we know just how to draw you out."


A few minutes later back with the Bens and Rook…

"(Groan)! This drive is a real snooze fest," Reboot Ben said in the middle seat.

"There are festivals for sleeping?" Rook asked.

"It means the same thing as yawn fest," Prime Ben answered.

"Ah," Rook responded.

"How could you be bored dude? We fought your Zombozo this morning and we just sent Queen Bee to a beehive she won't enjoy," Prime Ben said.

"Hey, what does this button do?" Reboot Ben asked, about to push the button.

"That's the signal flare launcher," Prime Ben said, stopping his Reboot counterpart from pushing it.

"What about this one?" Reboot Ben asked, about to push a different button.

"Adhesive foam deployment," Prime Ben said, stopping him again.

"What about this other one?" Reboot Ben asked about to push another different button.

"That's… Look, I don't know what that one does, but don't touch it," Prime Ben said.

"I say we find out," Reboot Ben said before pushing it.

Suddenly the Proto-TRUK's horn started blaring and the headlights started flickering. Reboot Ben then pushed a few more buttons and the windshield wipers turned on.

"Would you please stop that?" Rook asked in an annoyed tone, before his seat was adjusted forward by Reboot Ben pushing a button.

"Can't help it. When I'm bored I fiddle," Reboot Ben said, pushing another button that put Rook's seat back to normal.

Reboot Ben pushed a few more buttons, each with different results. The Proto-TRUK transformed into its flight mode before turning back. Reboot Ben pushed another button and the Proto-TRUK's turbo boosters turned on, causing it to accelerate at a very fast pace, and sending the heroes against their seats.

"It's a wonder that you haven't destroyed your Omnitrix with your fiddling," Prime Ben said.

"Indeed," Rook said before slamming the brakes, causing them all to get whiplash.

"Hey another mystery button," Reboot Ben said.

Prime Ben turned into AmpFibian and shocked Reboot Ben, giving him a stern look.

"Ow! Okay, I'll stop. Yeesh," Reboot Ben said.

Rook set everything back to normal before driving again.

"Perhaps we can pass the time more constructively with conversation. We have worked with you, your cousin, and your grandfather for a while now, but we barely know the first thing about one another," Rook said.

Prime Ben turned back before saying, "Yeah, that sounds like a better thing to do."

"Okay, so what do you want to know?" Reboot Ben asked, "Favorite color? Favorite food? Hobbies?"

"Green. Pizza and ice cream. Playing video games, using the Omnitrix, and collecting Sumo Slammers," Prime Ben said.

"All obvious within minutes of meeting you," Rook said.

"Yeah. And I could see why you like pizza ice cream, personally my favorite food is chili fries. Though you probably already knew that," Prime Ben said.

"Right… You guys want more personal stuff. Worst fear, first crush, distinctive body marks." Reboot Ben said.

"Tentacles, squids, and snakes," Prime Ben said.

"Patty Berkenfeld, third grade," Rook said, "and a birthmark on your left hip in the shape of something called Florida."

"What?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Your Grandpa Max likes to talk," Rook said.

"Yeah. A lot," Prime Ben said, "His background checks are thorough. As in TMI thorough."

"Okay, so we got nothing to talk about?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Well I did overhear something your Gwen said about your aliens, and it got me curious," Prime Ben said.

"Okay then, good. Ask me anything. I'm an open book," Reboot Ben said.

"Tell me about this transformation called "Gax"," Prime Ben asked, shocking his Reboot self and causing him to drop his confident smile.

"That book's closed," Reboot Ben said.

"By all indications, Gax was your most used alien form in a single day, but then you just stopped using him for good. I didn't even see him unlocked in your Omnitrix when I tuned it up as Grey Matter. Curious, No?" Prime Ben asked.

"No. And I don't want to talk about it," Reboot Ben said, "And I didn't use him that much."

Prime Ben and Rook gave each other that look that says "we might know what's going on and that someone doesn't want to talk about it".

"Dude, you can tell me anything," Prime Ben said, "I'm another you, so… it'll be like talking to yourself."

"Okay, but let's take this somewhere private," Reboot Ben said.

With that, Rook pushed a button that opened the entrance to the back, where the Warp Field Generator was, and closed it after both Bens went into it to talk.

"Okay, so Gax was this awesome go-to alien that I had. I don't why I liked being him so much. He just felt different. Better, stronger, more powerful. While practicing his powers, I came across someone calling himself "Vil". He showed me how to use Gax with more control and precision, but he then stole the DNA and the transformation, revealing himself as Vilgax," Reboot Ben said.

"You have a Vilgax in your universe too? Go figure," Prime Ben said.

"Anyway, Gax turned out to be part of Vilgax's DNA, so he took away Gax to be whole again," Reboot Ben said in a depressed tone, "From that day forth, I could never turn into Gax again."

"I'm sorry Ben. I didn't realize such a thing happened. But you're not alone. I know what it's like to lose a favorite transformation," Prime Ben said.

"You do?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Yeah. You remember Feedback, right?" Prime Ben asked.

"That awesome extension cord alien you turned into so that you and I, as Shock Rock, could defeat Bootleg?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Bingo," Prime Ben said, "Feedback was my go-to alien when I was 11. He just felt different from the rest of my aliens. Better. Like he was a part of me. I used him to fight an enemy of mine, but he eventually ripped me out of Feedback and destroyed him just to torment me. It really set me on the edge and prompted me to quit the hero business for about four years before I returned when the Highbreed showed up. The loss of Feedback was a devastating trauma for me, but five years after the incident, I regained Feedback to fight the enemy again," Prime Ben said, "I'm sure that you'll regain Gax too."

"Thanks," Reboot Ben said, "But out of curiosity, who was this enemy?"

Prime Ben paused and had a slightly worried look on his face. He was silent before taking a deep breath and speaking.

"His name was Malware," Prime Ben answered, "He was an incomplete and mutated Galvanic Mechamorph. He was one of the creators of the Nemetrix, one of my and the Plumber's most dangerous enemies, and a totally malicious, hate-driven psychopath. He was about to do something so terrible that I had to turn Feedback and use the leftover power from the Helix and… put him down… for good."

"You… you killed someone?" Reboot Ben asked.

"I… I didn't have a choice," Prime Ben said, "If there was another way I could stop him, I would have done it."

"Thanks," Reboot Ben said.

"For what?" Prime Ben asked.

"For making me feel a bit better about losing Gax," Reboot Ben answered, "I now know I'm not alone, and every hero struggles."

Prime Ben smiled and responded, "Anytime."

Suddenly Rook spoke on the intercom, "I hope that I am not interrupting anything, but I think that you should come and see this."

Both Bens went up to the front of the Proto-TRUK to see a city under attack by many drones.

"Looks like it's hero time," both Bens said.

Both Bens got out of the Proto-TRUK and hit their Omnitrices. Prime Ben turned into Gravattack. Reboot Ben turned into Heatblast.

"Now remember, just like we practiced," Gravattack said.

Gravattack turned into his planetary form while Heatblast propelled himself into the air. Both heroes took to the sky and flew towards the city.


In the city…

Several civilians were running from the drones, which were blasting lasers. Heatblast blasted several drones and saved many citizens, while Gravattack used his gravikinesis to crush many of them and send them all into each other.

"Why don't you guys pick on someone with real fire power?" Heatblast said.

When the citizens evacuated, the drones turned their attention to the two alien heroes.

"Oh man. I didn't mean all at once," Heatblast said.

"Got a feeling they were expecting us," Gravattack said.

Heatblast blasted many of the drones, destroying them, before blasting an inferno to scorch many of the others.

"You take the ones on your side. I got the ones here," Gravattack said.

Heatblast fired more fireballs at the drones while dodging their laser beams. Heatblast dodged many laser blasts from the drones before blasting them all. Meanwhile, Gravattack used his gravikinesis to lift rumble from the attack and launched it all at the drones. The drones fired missiles at Gravattack, but he turned into his planetoid form and the missiles orbited him before he sent them all at the drones. Gravattack noticed a few more drones and used his gravikinesis to crush them with a lot of gravity pressure. When it seemed like all of the drones were destroyed, Heatblast returned and Gravattack turned back to normal.

"You know, this wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be," Heatblast said.

"I don't think we're out of the woods yet," Prime Ben said.

Just then, a missile was blasted at both heroes, sending them back. They both got back up and saw a large and burly humanoid figure walking from the smoke of the crater that the missile created upon impact. The figure walked out of the smoke and was revealed to be Reboot Vilgax.

"Vilgax!?" Heatblast questioned in shock.

"At last we meet, my old nemesis, along with the alternate version of yourself that has caused me and my partner an equal amount of trouble," Reboot Vilgax said.

"I assume this is your Vilgax," Prime Ben said.

"Indeed. I have come to claim both Omnitrices for me and my equal," Reboot Vilgax said.

"Fat chance. You face off against, not one but, two wielders of the most powerful devices in the universe. You're not just outmatched, you're also outnumbered two against one," Prime Ben said.

"Count again," Reboot Vilgax said.

Just then, another explosion occurred behind our heroes. They turned to see another large, burly figure step out from the explosion, holding a laser sword. This figure walked out from the smoke and revealed himself to be Prime Vilgax.

"Fear me Ben Tennysons," Prime Vilgax said.

"Vilgax!?" Prime Ben questioned in shock.

"Yes. And I have come to claim your Omnitrix as my other self claims the Omnitrix of your maingy other self. So is now a bad time?" Prime Vilgax said.

"Yeah pretty much. But you've been trying to get this thing for years, and look who's still got it," Prime Ben said.

"This time will be different. This time I have cooperated and allied myself with the only being that I could truly form a mutual alliance with, myself. He could not stab me in the back and get away with it, and I couldn't do the same to him," Prime Vilgax said.

"Not that we would. I actually enjoy his company a lot," Reboot Vilgax said, "We will claim the Omnitrices of our respective universes and part ways to conquer our separate universes. That is, after we annihilate you both."

"Destroy me?" Heatblast asked in an amused tone.

"Yeah, you and what tentacles? I've been kicking your butt for years and now there's two of me," Prime Ben said.

"Then we will have twice as much fun destroying you both," Prime Vilgax said.

Prime Vilgax fired a laser from his hand at both heroes, who dodged the attack. Heatblast turned his Omnitrix symbol sideways and enveloped from head to toe in Omni-Kix armor. His head is encased in an orange helmet, with his flame still being cast out, which has a lighter orange visor with yellow dots for eyes and three grill-plates as a mouthguard. His neck and shoulders are covered by orange plating. His right arm has white segmented armor and an orange gauntlet for his hand, while his left arm ends instead in an orange cannon, with the middle portion containing parts of Heatblast's inner magma body, that functions as a flamethrower. His white torso piece is separated from his neck piece by metal tubes that also go around to his back. His legs are covered by white armor plating for his thighs and dark orange for his knees, shins and feet, with two sets of metal tubes connecting the thighs and shins together. He wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, connected to two metal tubes. He was now Omni-Kix Heatblast.

Prime Ben went to fight Prime Vilgax, while Omni-Kix Heatblast went to fight Reboot Vilgax. Prime Ben hit his Omnitrix and turned into Shock Rock and jumped into the air before performing an electric drop kick to Prime Vilgax. But Prime Vilgax grabbed Shock Rock's foot before he could hit him, and threw him into the side of a building. Prime Vilgax fired laser blasts from his hands at Shock Rock, but Shock Rock evaded the attack. Prime Vilgax charged at Shock Rock with his sword, but Shock Rock created his own energy sword and swung it, blocking Prime Vilgax's attack. The two engaged in a sword duel. Vilgax thrusted and swung his sword, but Shock Rock blocked the attacks before blasting a bolt of lightning at Prime Vilgax, knocking him back. Shock Rock fired another lightning bolt, but Prime Vilgax countered with an energy blast from his hand, which went through the lightning and sent Shock Rock flying back. Shock Rock got back up and charged up his sword before sending an electrified sword beam straight towards Prime Vilgax. Prime Vilgax merely used his sword to block the sword beam and slice it apart, before charging at Shock Rock so that the two warriors could engage in sword combat again.

Meanwhile Omni-Kix Heatblast fired a huge inferno from his cannon at Reboot Vilgax, who took hardly any damage. Omni-Kix Heatblast turned his cannon into a hand, ignited both hands, and began punching Reboot Vilgax in the face with very fast jabs. However, Reboot Vilgax seemed to not take any visible damage. Reboot Vilgax grabbed Omni-Kix Heatblast by the face and threw him through at least four buildings. Omni-Kix Heatblast got back up from under a pile of rubble.

"Man, someone's certainly been hitting the gym. Vilgax must've gotten tougher since I last fought him. Good thing I'm armored though, otherwise I would be in quite a pickle," Omni-Kix Heatblast said.

Reboot Vilgax jumped from where he was standing, into the air, and landed in front of Omni-Kix Heatblast.

"I've got to slow him down," Omni-Kix Heatblast said.

Omni-Kix Heatblast turned both his hands into cannons and scorched the road, melting the asphalt. Reboot Vilgax got stuck in the asphalt and slipped in it.

"Not so tough when you get stuck are you?" Omni-Kix Heatblast tauntingly asked.

However, Reboot Vilgax got out of the asphalt and fired his eye lasers at Omni-Kix Heatblast, sending him back into a building. Omni-Kix Heatblast turned back into Reboot Ben, who hit his Omnitrix again and transformed.

Reboot Ben turned into Jetray and turned his Omnitrix symbol and got armored. He was encased head to toe in Omni-Kix armor. He had red armor on his torso and arms, black and silver armor on his tail and legs, and orange armor on his patagia. His head is encased in a silver and black helmet with two metallic pipes connecting from his face to the back of his head, silver horns, and green slits for eyes. The Omnitrix symbol is located on his chest and is connected to his back by two grey pipes. He was now Omni-Kix Jetray.

Omni-Kix Jetray fired neuroshock beams from his eyes at Reboot Vilgax, who dodged the attack and fired his own eye lasers at Omni-Kix Jetray. Jetray transformed his wings into large shields and blocked the attack before turning his wings back to normal. He then charged at Reboot Vilgax, sending him back with his wings. Reboot Vilgax got back up and was hit with a barrage of neuroshock beams. Jetray charged at him again, but this time Reboot Vilgax dodged the attack, grabbed Omni-Kix Jetray by the tail, and swung him around and against the pavement like a rag doll before throwing him into a building. Omni-Kix Jetray's armor withstood the assault, and he blasted neuroshock beams at Reboot Vilgax again before charging at him.

Meanwhile, Shock Rock was still dueling with Prime Vilgax. After blocking a few more sword swings and thrusts, Prime Vilgax put away his sword and activated the boost steroids on his arms, increasing the size and strength of his arms. He then punched Shock Rock in the face, sending him back by at least a hundred meters. Shock Rock got back up and fired a barrage of lightning bolts at Prime Vilgax, which he dodged before jumping into the air and bashing Shock Rock in the face before landing. Prime Vilgax picked Shock Rock back up and punched him again, sending him into the side of a building. Shock Rock got back up and still had enough fight in him. Unfortunately the Omnitrix timed out and Shock Rock turned back into Prime Ben. Prime Vilgax fired an energy blast from his hand above Prime Ben, causing a pile of rubble to come crashing down on him.

"Now, the Omnitrix of my universe is in my possession," Prime Vilgax said.

Prime Vilgax walked over to the rubble to claim the Prime Omnitrix, but he then noticed Prime Ben's Diamondhead come out from the rubble.

"Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?" Diamondhead asked.

Diamondhead then fired a barrage of crystals at Prime Vilgax, who tanked them all before firing another energy beam from his hands at Diamondhead. Diamondhead propelled himself up to avoid the attack and fired more crystals at Prime Vilgax from above. Diamondhead landed behind Prime Vilgax, who turned around and fired an energy beam from his hand at Diamondhead. Diamondhead created a diamond barrier to protect himself from the beam, Prime Vilgax used his fists to smash through the barrier, only to find that Diamondhead was no longer there. Diamondhead launched a sneak attack and fired more crystals at Prime Vilgax from behind, but Prime Vilgax evaded the attack. Diamondhead used his crystallokinesis to create three large crystals, and sent them straight at Prime Vilgax. Diamondhead walked over to the wreckage, but Prime Vilgax broke out of the crystals and threw one straight at Diamondhead, who dodged it. Prime Vilgax grabbed Diamondhead by the face, threw him into the air, jumped towards him, and slammed him straight towards Reboot Vilgax. Reboot Vilgax took notice of this and punched Diamondhead, launching him straight towards Omni-Kix Jetray. Both heroes turned back to normal and Prime Ben went unconscious. Prime Vilgax landed beside his Reboot counterpart and deactivated his boost steroids, causing his arms to return to their normal size and strength.

"Ben? Ben, wake up. Ben? Please answer me. Come on. This is no time for a nap. Wake up!" Reboot Ben said as he tried to wake up his unconscious Prime counterpart.

"The Omnitrices will be ours. I will take the Omnitrix of my universe," Reboot Vilgax said.

"While I take the Omnitrix of my universe. Thank you for your assistance Vilgax. We shall take the Omnitrices and part ways to conquer our respective universes," Prime Vilgax said.

Both Vilgaxs shook hands and went over to the Bens. Reboot Vilgax picked up Reboot Ben, while Prime Vilgax picked up Prime Ben, who was still unconscious. Reboot Vilgax tried to take Reboot Ben's Omnitrix, but it zapped him with green electricity, causing him to drop Reboot Ben.

"It appears that the Omni-Kix enhancement has created a fail safe for when someone were to remove the Omnitrix without the proper equipment," Prime Vilgax said.

Reboot Ben tried to run away, but Reboot Vilgax turned his left arm into five tentacles and grabbed Reboot Ben.

"I don't suppose that means you're going to let me go," Reboot Ben said.

"Hardly," Reboot Vilgax said.

"You wouldn't hurt a little kid like me, would you?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Hurt? We wouldn't do such a thing," Reboot Vilgax answered.

"Indeed. We have something far worse in mind," Prime Vilgax finished.

"What he said," Reboot Vilgax said with a menacing grin.

Both Gwens, Prime Kevin, Rook, Zed, and Max arrived too late. When they arrived, they saw both Vilgaxs teleporting away with both Bens. They were all shocked at the scene.

"Ben!" Reboot Gwen shouted.

"I wasn't the only one who saw two Vilgaxs. Was I?" Prime Kevin asked.

"Not at all," Max said, "I thought I was seeing double for a second."

"You guys remember when Albedo mentioned being employed?" Prime Gwen asked, receiving nods from everyone.

"You're saying that Vilgax was the guy who formed the alliance between Albedo, Khyber, and the other me?" Prime Kevin asked.

"Which Vilgax? Mine or yours?" Reboot Gwen asked.

"I believe that it was both," Rook said, "We will experience a lot of problems knowing that the alliance is led by two Vilgaxs."

"We should see my buddy, Phil. He might have something to locate where they took the Bens," Max said, "Well… if Blukic and Driba didn't accidentally blow it up."


Later at Phil's house…

Blukic and Driba were tinkering with some sort of machine. Driba got stuck waist-up in it and was trying to pull himself out.

"Blukic!" Driba said.

Blukic noticed Driba's predicament and began pulling him, trying to get him out. Blukic pulled too hard, and ended up sending both of them against a wall before they both got back up.

"Ow, sorry Driba. I must have pulled too hard," Blukic said.

"Sorry my aunt posterior! You pulled too hard on purpose!" Driba said.

"Did not," Blukic said.

"Did so!" Driba said.

"Did not!" Blukic said.

"Did so, and I will not hear another word!" Driba said.

"Did not," Blukic grumbled.

Phil watched the scene while working on a gadget and sighed in annoyance.

"So, what's the verdict?" Driba asked.

"We should have no problem with dematerializing," Blukic said.

"Great!" Driba said, "What about re-materializing?"

"Oh, picky, picky," Blukic responded.

"But adjusting the quantum-entanglement pathway still seems screwy to me," Driba said.

"Hey Phil," Max said, grabbing everyone's attention.

"Oh, hey Max. Let me guess, the Vilgaxs of both universes teamed up and we need to stop them," Phil said.

"Uh… yeah. How did you know that?" Prime Kevin asked.

"I already got a message from a friend," Phil said, pointing to a black race-car with purple circuitry patterns and green headlights. This is the Rustbuggy AKA Glitch

"Hey guys," Glitch said.

"How's it going Glitch?" Reboot Gwen asked.

"Just fine," Glitch, said, "But earlier today, I detected a radio transmission from an unknown vessel. I then realized that there were two Vilgaxs in this universe, and they have assembled a syndicate of other villains. And I think that the other Vilgax isn't the only one not from here based on what I'm seeing."

"Okay then, Glitch was it? Can you locate this radio transmission?" Prime Gwen asked.

"Already did. Hop in," Glitch said.

"Wait, you might need this," Phil said, handing Reboot Gwen what looks like an ordinary pin resembling the cat logo on Reboot Gwen's shirt but in a more geometric shape.

"Thanks," Reboot Gwen said.

"Stay safe everyone," Max said.

With that, both Gwens, Prime Kevin, and Zed got into the Rustbuggy.

"I don't think we've been introduced," Prime Gwen said.

"Oh, sorry. My name is Glitch. I am a Galvanic Mechamorph hybrid created by the Omnitrix. I am currently inhabiting this all terrain vehicle known as the Rustbuggy," Glitch said.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Glitch. Now we must find where the Vilgaxs took the Bens," Rook said.

"Alright then. Buckle up and hold onto your hats," Glitch said before speeding off.

"But they were not wearing any- You know what, I am going to assume that every peculiar thing that anyone says is just a weird Earth expression. I WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU GUYS ON THE PROTO-TRUK!" Rook said.

"Hang on, I'm coming too," Phil said before opening a keypad on his wall and entering a code.

"Phil, I don't think that's a good idea. I think you should just sit this one out while everyone else manages this," Max said.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself," Phil said, before a wall opened up, revealing many high-tech weapons.

"Phil, what is going on here?" Rook asked.

"Well," Phil said before putting on a uniform and arming himself, "Let's just say that before I became a mechanic, I wasn't your average plumber," Phil said.

Rook did not know what he was talking about, but Max knew. And the realization hit Rook and he saluted Phil with a smile.


Meanwhile on the Chimerian Hammer…

"Uh… just five more minutes Mom," Prime Ben groggily said before waking up, "Wait. Where am I? Where's the other me? And what happened?"

When Prime Ben woke up, he noticed that he was aboard the Chimerian Hammer, and was chained to a table. He took notice of Ultimate Albedo, floating in a corner before turning to face him.

"Hello Tennyson," Ultimate Albedo tauntingly greeted.

"Oh great. What do you want, Balloon Brain?" Prime Ben asked.

"Only to watch you suffer. See, I've created and improved many creations to defeat you and Azmuth, and prove myself as the greatest mind in the universe. The Ultimatrix, the Nemetrix, the Antitrix. All my creations and my projects," Ultimate Albedo said.

"Well if you're such a genius, how come Kid Kevin's aliens are cheap knockoffs of mine?" Prime Ben asked.

"Did you think that those were just deformed aliens?" Ultimate Albedo asked.

"Well… yeah. Who wouldn't?" Prime Ben asked.

"That's where what you think, isn't what you know. You see, the Antitrix…" Ultimate Albedo was interrupted by Prime Ben.

"If you're going to explain your boring science geek stuff, please make it brief," Prime Ben said.

"As I was saying," Ultimate Albedo said, gritting his teeth, "the Antitrix doesn't simply turn the wearer into just simple aliens. It combines their DNA with that of a mutated donor. A deceased donor that you knew too well."

"Really? Who was this deceased donor?" Prime Ben asked with a smirk.

"He was an old friend of yours," Ultimate Albedo said before pausing and grinning at Prime Ben, "...Malware."

Prime Ben gasped in shock.

"Now that I have your undivided attention. You see, while visiting Galvan Prime to kidnap Azmuth, I stumbled upon Malware's remains in the hall of predators. I took a small sample of his remains to experiment with. Seriously, did you think that I used all of Malware's remains when I built the Malware armor? While traveling the multiverse to gather the evil Bens with Vilgax and Eon, I discovered something during my experiments. Apparently, even after his death, Malware's DNA could still upgrade technology. I also discovered that by injecting it into the bloodstream of an organism, it turns them into somewhat more monstrous versions of themselves. I used this knowledge to use his DNA to create another Omnitrix, only better. I knew I couldn't finish my project, so I teleported the necessary materials into the other Kevin's garage, and implanted the instructions into his brain. I still have plenty of Malware's remains to experiment with and create other powerful devices with," Ultimate Albedo explained.

"Wait, so you're saying that you have been playing around with a mutant's corpse, using it to create a monstrous hybrid alien creating device, and gave it to a kid?" Prime Ben asked, "Okay Albedo. I said it a few times before, and I will say it again. You are one seriously, messed-up, total, freak-show."

"A freak show could not create an Omnitrix with an evolutionary function! A freak show could not create an Omnitrix using a deceased Mechamorph's DNA!" Ultimate Albedo said.

"Dude, that last part is exactly what a freak show would do," Prime Ben said.

"Why you little-" Ultimate Albedo grumbled.

"That is enough, Albedo," Prime Vilgax said, walking in, "You are dismissed."

"But Sir, I wasn't done-" Ultimate Albedo said before Prime Vilgax cut him off.

"If you truly think you are the smartest being in five galaxies, you should know that I am capable of doing whatever I please," Prime Vilgax grabbed him by the top of his head and brought him up to to his face, "and that you are in no position to demand otherwise."

Prime Vilgax put Ultimate Albedo aside and Ultimate Albedo got angry.

"I am not going to be looked down upon by a primitive cephalopod such as yourself!" Ultimate Albedo angrily yelled, "You hear me I-"

"SILENCE!" Prime Vilgax yelled before knocking Ultimate Albedo into a wall.

Angered even further, Ultimate Albedo turned into Ultimate Humungousaur, and was ready to fire a barrage of missiles at Prime Vilgax.

"You had better be very sure," Prime Vilgax said, about to activate his booster steroids.

Nervous, Ultimate Humungousaur turned his blasters back into hands, and turned back into Ultimate Albedo before doing as Prime Vilgax said earlier, going into the other room and leaving him and Prime Ben to each other.

"Now… where were we?" Prime Vilgax asked, "Ah yes. You see, now that I have you, I should probably explain. I'm pretty sure you remember when Eon and I recruited the Ben Tennysons from alternate timelines. You must also remember when I was taken away by the Plumbers of the timeline without an Omnitrix. You must've wondered how I escaped into our universe to help Albedo take Malware's remains. You see, using the Chronosapien Time Bomb wasn't the only way I double-crossed Eon."

Prime Vilgax pushed a button, revealing a silver and black gauntlet with purple highlights.

"Is that Eon's gauntlet?" Prime Ben asked.

"Indeed. He still has another one to travel, but I am certain he is currently trapped in his own timeline," Prime Vilgax said, "I stole the gauntlet from him so that I may travel the multiverse in search of someone who would surely help me as I help him, myself. My alternate self from this universe was the perfect choice. Together, we created a teleporter that would bring us allies from anywhere in both our worlds or send them to anywhere in both our worlds."

"Wait, that time that my Billy Billions allied with this world's Billy Billions. That was because of you and your creepy other self testing out the teleporter," Prime Ben remarked.

"A test which proved to be a whopping success," Prime Vilgax said, "When we knew that the teleporter was ready, we recruited Albedo to hook the teleporter up to the entire ship, and gave another teleporter to two of Albedo's recruits."

"Let me guess, Khyber and Kid Kevin," Prime Ben said.

"You are certainly smarter than I give you credit for. Now I believe that I have cleared everything up," Prime Vilgax said, "I will leave you alone now, I must decide what form of torture would be most painful for you. I could find the weapon that would inflict the most pain, or I could hand you over to Khyber. He is growing bored of having little sport."


Meanwhile with Reboot Ben and Reboot Vilgax…

"Alright Squid Face, what are you planning with me this time?" Reboot Ben said.

Reboot Ben was affixed to Reboot Vilgax's extraction device. His right hand and legs are restrained to energy cuffs and his left arm is in a cylinder to extract the Omnitrix.

"You hold the key to a power struggle so ancient, so vast, it is beyond your feeble comprehension. I first tried to turn your disgusting primate-like people into my own hypnotized, Omnitrix-powered warriors, but I should've known better than to ally myself with a street thug with a circus theme. My other self has another idea, humanoid robots with blank DNA all synched to the Omnitrix in order to transform into armies of a selected alien." Reboot Vilgax explained, "Picture it: an entire army of Bioids, each in command of their own Omnitrix, and all under the leadership of me and my other self."

A vision is shown of an army of many of Omnitrices' aliens being used to attack a galactic city. Both Vilgaxs are seen commanding this army. A Bioid, as Humungousaur, throws a rock at the enemies, turns into Diamondhead to fire crystals, turns into Heatblast to launch fireballs, and turns into Feedback to blast electricity.

"We will be unstoppable. I will rule this universe, as my other self rules his. And the only thing standing between me and my destiny, is you and your pathetic counterpart," Reboot Vilgax said before many weapons came from the floor.


Meanwhile with the Gwens, Prime Kevin, Zed, and Glitch…

The Rustbuggy had driven the Gwens, Prime Kevin, and Zed to the current location of the Chimerian Hammer, while Rook and Phil followed them on the Proto-TRUK, in flight mode.

"There's the Chimerian Hammer. We will be able to save the Bens if we can bust in," Glitch said.

"If?" Rook asked Glitch, "Consider it done."

"You're starting to remind me of Ben," Phil said.

"I will take that as a compliment," Rook responded.

Rook fired missiles from the Proto-TRUK, which headed straight for the warship.


Back with Prime Ben…

"Alone… alone… alone to myself and my thoughts," Prime Ben said.

Just then, the wall blew up and the Rustbuggy came through the hole, while the Proto-TRUK stopped by it to drop Phil off.


Meanwhile with Prime Vilgax…

Prime Vilgax felt the explosion from the hallways.

"What was that?!" Prime Vilgax asked before rushing off to where he kept Prime Ben.


Back to Prime Ben…

"What took you guys so long? Did you stop for lunch?" Prime Ben asked.

"Save now, joke later," Prime Gwen said before using her mana to cut the cuffs off of Prime Ben.

"Thanks," Prime Ben said, "Hey Phil, what are you doing here?"

"Came for a bit of plumbing," Phil said.

"Wait? You were once a Plumber? As in "Intergalactic peacekeeping" Plumber?" Prime Kevin asked.

"Yep," Phil said, "I'll explain later. For now, we'll distract everyone while you find your other self. Be careful though, there might be many security drones flying around."

"Got it, I'll see you guys when I get the other me," Prime Ben said.

With that, they all parted ways. Rook attacked the ship with laser blasts from the Proto-TRUK, while everyone else split into groups to cover more ground. Phil went with Prime Gwen, Kevin went with Zed and Glitch, and Reboot Gwen went with Prime Ben.

Prime Vilgax came into the room, only to find that Prime Ben was gone and there was a hole in the wall.

"TENNYSON!" Prime Vilgax yelled in anger.

Prime Vilgax spoke on the intercom, "Everyone, My world's Ben Tennyson has escaped and is loose in the Chimerian Hammer. Find him so that I may have his head on a stick!"


Meanwhile with Prime Ben and Reboot Gwen…

Prime Ben and Reboot Gwen were running down the halls to find Reboot Ben but were caught by many drones. Reboot Gwen hit her cat pin and she was encased in a light blue cat motif armor with a clear visor over her eyes, a tail, and cat ears on her helmet.

"Since when can you go Omni-Kix?" Prime Ben asked.

"Less questions, more battle planning. Got a plan?" Reboot Gwen asked.

"Yeah, you let the cat out of the bag and take the drones on the left. I'll take the right and go with the flow. The Overflow!" Prime Ben said before hitting his Omnitrix and turning into Overflow.

Reboot Gwen shot lasers from her palms at the drones and lunged at the rest, slashing them with her claws while dodging laser attacks. Overflow shot water blasts at the drones and used his water blades to cut them up. Another wave of drones came and the heroes knew they had to retreat.

"Hop on," Overflow said, signaling Reboot Gwen to get on his back.

Reboot Gwen grabbed onto Overflow's shoulders and he flew using his water cannons. Overflow flew away from the drones while Reboot Gwen blasted a few of them. Overflow then unleashed a huge wave of water which soaked the drones and shorted out their circuits. Overflow noticed more drones coming from another hallway, hit the Omnitrix, and turned into Big Chill. Big Chill used his ice breath to freeze the drones solid before he took off with Reboot Gwen. Big Chill blasts a few more drones with his ice beams before flying off to a large door, landing, and cloaking himself after Reboot Gwen got off.

"I hope this is it," Reboot Gwen said.

She then used a hacking device in her suit to try to open the door, but it wasn't immediate.

"Can we speed this up please?" Big Chill asked.

"Patience Ben," Reboot Gwen said.

"You're right. If anything comes, I could take them all. I don't have anything they can't handle," Big Chill said before hearing the Omnitrix beeping, "Uh oh."

The Omnitrix timed out and Big Chill turned back into Prime Ben.

"Okay you can start hurrying it up," Prime Ben said before noticing drones coming their way, "Like now!"

Reboot Gwen was still waiting for the hacking process to finish while Prime Ben kept hitting his Omnitrix.

"Come on Omnitrix. I've been generous, haven't I? Give me Four Arms. Don't give me Walkatrout. Don't give me Nanomech. Give me Four Arms," Prime Ben said before hitting his Omnitrix and turning into Bloxx.

"Bloxx? Not what I wanted but I can work with this," Bloxx said before turning into a wall and keeping the drones from getting by.

On the side of the Bloxx wall with the drones, Bloxx created two arms and used their elasticity to punch many drones. He turned his arms into Bloxx-Lobbers and fired bricks at many of the drones. He got his head on the other side of himself to face Reboot Gwen.

"Hey, how's it going?" Bloxx asked.

"Just a little longer," Reboot Gwen said.

"Okay, take your time," Bloxx sarcastically said, "I'm totally joking by the way. Hurry up! I don't know if I could take much more!"

Just then, a few lasers blasted through Bloxx, but he regenerated and turned to face the drones.

"Come on. Come on. Yes!" Reboot Gwen said as the hacking process ended and the door opened.

Bloxx got out of his wall form, while still keeping the wall up, and followed Reboot Gwen into the room.


Meanwhile with Reboot Ben and Reboot Vilgax…

Reboot Vilgax got out a laser chainsaw, with the intention of cutting Reboot Ben's Omnitrix arm off.

"Can't you just slip the watch off?" Reboot Ben asked.

"I could easily do that. But I find this method to be far more… entertaining," Reboot Vilgax said, "Now don't worry. This won't hurt a bit. In fact, when I'm done you won't feel a thing."

Reboot Vilgax activated the chainsaw and was about to cut off Reboot Ben's arm, but Bloxx came in and punched Reboot Vilgax in the face before smashing Reboot Ben out of the extraction device and making off with him and Reboot Gwen. Reboot Vilgax got back up and chased the heroes, but Bloxx turned back into Prime Ben, and both the Bens hit their Omnitrices and transformed. Prime Ben turned into Humungousaur, while Reboot Ben turned into Cannonbolt before turning his Omnitrix symbol sideways.

Cannonbolt was enveloped from head to toe in Omni-Kix armor. The yellow plating on the back of his hands is now covered by larger green and black plating with white edges, resembling a stylized turtle shell. His shoulders have grey plating with two lines, one glowing green and one black running below. The inner side of his arms as well as his claws have been left exposed. His head has been heavily reinforced by yellow segmented plating, with white, eyebrow-shaped plating covering his forehead and more white plating covering his mouth, leaving only his green eyes exposed. His torso is covered by yellow plating segmented by three thick black lines and two grey metal tubes connecting from his midsection to his back. His thighs have grey armor, whereas his knees, shins and toes are reinforced with white plating. Grey plating runs down his spine ending in a formation resembling a short tail. He wears the Omni-Kix Omnitrix symbol on his chest. He was now Omni-Kix Cannonbolt.

Omni-Kix Cannonbolt rolled into a ball and Humungousaur hit him with his tail, sending him straight into Reboot Vilgax, knocking him back. Humungousaur, Omni-Kix Cannonbolt, and Reboot Gwen noticed more drones coming and fought them all off.


Meanwhile with Prime Kevin, Zed, and Glitch…

Glitch had Prime Kevin and Zed in him and they were driving through the halls to make as much noise as possible. Prime Kevin jumped out of the Rustbuggy and got on a drone. He absorbed the metal in the drone and smashed many of them to bits. Zed jumped out of the Rustbuggy and bit a drone before tossing it from her mouth, causing it to hit another drone, and landing back into the Rustbuggy.

"Good job girl," Prime Kevin said, "And nice driving Glitch."

"Thank you," Glitch said before Zed barked.

"That Osmosian here of all places?" Reboot Kevin said, noticing them.

"Nice to see you too Faker," Prime Kevin said.

"Faker? If you ask me, I think you're the fake Kevin around here. You're comparing yourself to me? Ha! You aren't even good enough to be my fake," Reboot Kevin said before turning into Skunkmoth.

"Well, if you ask me, I think you got that backwards," Prime Kevin said, "Glitch, take Zed and go bust some more drones. I got this situation under control."

With that, Glitch obeyed Prime Kevin and left with Zed in the driver's seat. Both Kevins ran to each other. Skunkmoth shot acid at Prime Kevin, who dodged the attack and punched Skunkmoth in the face. Skunkmoth retaliated by charging at Prime Kevin, grabbing him, and throwing him. Skunkmoth had Prime Kevin pinned against a wall, and was ready to douse him in acid.

"Don't do this dude," Prime Kevin said.

"Don't worry, your suffering won't last nearly as long as I plan to make Tennyson's," Skunkmoth said.

"Why are you doing this?" Prime Kevin asked.

"I thought it was obvious. Revenge," Skunkmoth answered, "I was trapped in that space-time prison and Tennyson didn't even bother to save me. I received many scars to my mind in that place. He turned me into what I am now."

"You and I both know that Ben never meant or wanted that. You brought this on yourself. You let Khyber turn you into a living weapon," Prime Kevin said.

"I still have a score to settle with Tennyson. And you leave my master out of this. Master Khyber saved me from that void and taught me how to mold and sharpen my hatred and wield it as a weapon," Skunkmoth said, "just like he did with…"

"Zed and his tabby cat I assume," Prime Kevin said.

"Those creatures were only mindless, feral beasts. I am beyond that. I am the prized pupil of the greatest huntsman in the galaxy," Skunkmoth said, "He taught me everything I need to know about my enemy and how to destroy him."

"I assume your enemy wasn't me, because I assume he forgot to teach you everything about me," Prime Kevin said, "If you learned about Osmosians, you should know that it's not a good idea to let Osmosians like me get too close to Omnitrices."

Prime Kevin grabbed Skunkmoth's Antitrix symbol, causing the device to start beeping and Skunkmoth to wince in pain. A red flash enveloped both Kevin's and Skunkmoth was sent into a wall before returning back to normal, while Prime Kevin was enveloped in smoke. Reboot Kevin got back up and turned into Ore.

"Nice trick, but it won't save you," Ore said, "this isn't going to be a fair fight so… What the heck!"

Ore paused himself when he noticed the figure in the smoke. The figure was Kevin, but he looked more muscular and different.

"You're right. This won't be a fair fight," Prime Kevin said before stepping out of the smoke and revealing his new appearance.

Prime Kevin had mutated himself with the Antitrix's DNA, and now resembled an amalgamation of Reboot Kevin's aliens. His head and neck resemble Quad Smack's, but with Prime Kevin's hair, and Bootleg's eye and physiology for the right side of his face and neck. His torso and shirt belongs to Quad Smack and he mostly resembles Quad Smack, but with an upper left arm belonging to Hot Shot, an upper right arm belonging to Crystalfist, a lower left arm belonging to Thornblade, a lower right arm belonging to Undertow, and more muscular versions of Dark Matter's legs with Rush's knee pads. He also has Skunkmoth's wings, Rush's tail, plating on both his upper arms and a mane both belonging to Bashmouth, and an upper back resembling Wreckingbolt's. Let's just call him Amalgam Kevin

"You wanna play dirty?" Amalgam Kevin said before pounding his fists together, "Then I'm gonna mop the floor with you."

Ore blasted an ultraviolet beam at Amalgam Kevin, who used his plating to deflect it and fired crystal shards from his right arm. Amalgam Kevin blasted fire from his left arm, which didn't do anything against Ore's fireproof skin. Ore charged at Amalgam Kevin and delivered a few energized punches to his chest. Amalgam Kevin retaliated by using the tendrils on his lower left arm and slamming Ore around a few times before throwing him. Ore turned into Hot Shot and blasted an inferno at Amalgam Kevin, who countered the flames by using his lower right arm to put out the fire. Amalgam Kevin launched crystallizing flames at Hot Shot, who dodged them and charged at Amalgam Kevin like a comet. Amalgam Kevin flew out of the way and spat acid at him. Hot Shot dodged the attack and turned into Frostbite. Frostbite blasted freezing breath at Amalgam Kevin, who got back down to the ground and turned his right arm into a blade. Amalgam Kevin sped towards Frostbite at a very fast speed, but Frostbite turned intangible and froze Amalgam Kevin solid with his ice breath. Amalgam Kevin burst out of it with his pyrokinesis and launched several crystals and a crystallizing fireball at Frostbite. Frostbite dodged the crystals, but was encased in the fireball's crystallization. Frostbite busted out by turning into Quad Smack and charged at Amalgam Kevin, who used his super speed to evade the attack, charged at Quad Smack from behind, and punched him in the face with his right arm, sending Quad Smack back. Quad Smack got back up and launched himself at Amalgam Kevin, who blasted him with swamp water, though it didn't do much. Quad Smack intended to punch Amalgam Kevin with all four of his fists, but Amalgam Kevin caught his fists and the two engaged in an arm lock.

"You gonna give up?" Amalgam Kevin asked.

"Hardly. Not while my vendetta is unanswered," Quad Smack said.

"You remind me of myself when I was your age," Amalgam Kevin commented, "Just quit while you're ahead."

"You quit while you still have a head," Quad Smack responded.

"Fat chance. I'm tougher than you and I have more experience," Amalgam Kevin said.

"Please. I eat garbage like you for breakfast," Quad Smack said.

"Wait, you eat garbage for breakfast?" Amalgam Kevin asked.

This question annoyed Quad Smack. Amalgam Kevin blasted a laser from his right eye and used his lower left arm to grab Quad Smack by the face and slam him to the ground. Quad Smack got back up and turned into Wreckingbolt. Wreckingbolt rolled at Amalgam Kevin a few times, dealing powerful blows each time. Wreckingbolt rolled into Amalgam Kevin another time, but Amalgam Kevin dodged the attack and spat orange goo and threw a fireball at him. Wreckingbolt was hit by the orange goo, and the fireball caused an explosion upon hitting the goo, sending Wreckingbolt into a wall. Wreckingbolt rolled at Amalgam Kevin, and Amalgam Kevin did the same. Both spiky shelled aliens clashed against each other and resulted in Amalgam Kevin being the victor. Wreckingbolt turned into Voltage, plugged his antennae into a couple of plugs, and blasted red electricity at Amalgam Kevin, electrocuting him to the point of collapsing.

"You're not gonna win this other me," Voltage said, "I got friends in high places now. You're nothing but a sorry excuse for a replica. You're weak, pathetic, and absolutely-"

Voltage was cut off when he heard a honk honking, and was rammed and pinned against the wall by the Rustbuggy, due to Zed interfering with Glitch's controls. Voltage attempted to electrocute Glitch, but was stopped by Amalgam Kevin crystallizing him.

"Good dog. And thanks for the assist from both of you," Amalgam Kevin said.

"No problem," Glitch said.

They all went off to regroup with the others, leaving Voltage to turn into Frostbite and phase through the crystalline containment before turning back to normal.


Meanwhile with Phil and Prime Gwen…

Prime Gwen was lashing at the drones with mana tendrils before blasting a few with a mana laser, while Phil was blasting them with two laser blasters and both were dodging their attacks.

"Stay frosty, Gwendolyn," Phil said.

"Did you seriously just say that?" Prime Gwen asked.

"Yeah, I said it a lot back in the good old days," Phil said.

"Either way, we gotta get moving," Prime Gwen said, "Hopefully Ben has found the other Ben. Now let's go back to the others."

"Oh you're not going anywhere," Ultimate Albedo said from behind.

"Hello to you too Professor All-Head," Prime Gwen said.

"That is no way to speak to the greatest mind in the universe, you miscreant," Ultimate Albedo said, "You will not pass."

"Based on my calculations, I'd say we will," Phil said with his blasters ready.

"If I were you…" Ultimate Albedo said before turning into a version of Diamondhead made of red crystals, and that has red eyes, red instead of green, and the Ultimatrix symbol on his belt. He then transformed again.

He was now a large, bulky silicon-based life form, composed of durable pale red crystals. He sports two crystal shards on his upper back and many small shards on the rest of his back. His shirt is gone, revealing a crystal six-pack. He has three spikes on each arm and sharp claws on each of his fingers. There was a crystal casing covering his legs, crystal spikes on his knees and feet, and many crystal shards covering his shoulders. He had a sharp crystal unibrow, many crystal shards on his head, and an underbite with sharp teeth that covered his upper lip. He wore black pants, and the evolved Ultimatrix symbol on his chest. He was now Ultimate Diamondhead.

"...I'd recalculate your odds," Ultimate Diamondhead said.

Ultimate Diamondhead fired a crystal beam at Prime Gwen and Phil, but Prime Gwen created a force field to block the attack. She then blasted mana bolts at Ultimate Diamondhead, who blocked the attack with a wall of crystals. Ultimate Diamondhead fired many crystal shards at Prime Gwen and Phil, who both dodged the attack. Prime Gwen fired more mana blasts at Ultimate Diamondhead, who hardly felt anything. Ultimate Diamondhead launched a large crystal at both heroes, but Prime Gwen created a force field, though the crystal still broke it and sent both heroes tumbling back.

"Any last words?" Ultimate Diamondhead asked.

"Yeah. See ya, sucker!" Amalgam Kevin said, head-butting Ultimate Diamondhead in the chest, dealing significant damage to the crystalline monster.

"Man I'm gonna feel sore from that in the morning," Amalgam Kevin said, rubbing his head.

"Kevin? Our Kevin?" Prime Gwen asked.

"Don't worry. I won't go insane because I included a time out to this mutation. I'll turn back in about ten minutes, plenty of time to take on this nut job," Amalgam Kevin said, "Go find the others, I got him."

"You just made a big mistake," Ultimate Diamondhead said before turning into Ultimate Spidermonkey, "Now, prepare to face the wrath of Albedo!"

Prime Gwen and Phil got into the Rustbuggy with Zed and took off, while Amalgam Kevin stayed to fight Ultimate Spidermonkey.

Ultimate Spidermonkey spat webbing at Amalgam Kevin, who dodged the attack and blasted flames from his upper left hand at him. Ultimate Spidermonkey jumped to the ceiling to dodge the fire, and spat more webs at Amalgam Kevin. Amalgam Kevin got hit by these webs, but used his lower right arm to wash the webs off. Ultimate Spidermonkey jumped down to pounce on Amalgam Kevin, who countered by using the tendrils on his lower left arm to catch Ultimate Spidermonkey in midair and throw him to the side. Both monstrous aliens charged at each other to duke it all out.


Meanwhile with Humungousaur, Omni-Kix Cannonbolt, and Reboot Gwen…

The heroes had just taken out a wave of drones and were stopping to catch their breath as Humungousaur and Omni-Kix Cannonbolt had just turned back into both Bens.

"Okay, just give me at least ten seconds," Prime Ben said.

After a moment, the heroes had just gotten back in gear and ran off. Khyber was watching from the security cameras and his Panuncian was quietly following Prime Ben, Reboot Ben, and Reboot Gwen. Khyber whistled and his Panuncian ran to them. The Panuncian split into three copies and pounced on the heroes.

"What the?! How did it do that!?" Reboot Gwen asked.

"Their Ditto predators," Prime Ben said, dialing an alien.

Prime Ben hit his Omnitrix and turned into Armodrillo. Armodrillo threw the Panuncian on him off and grabbed the other two Panuncians and threw them at the first one, fusing the Panuncians back into a single Panuncian.

"Thanks," Reboot Ben said.

"No problem," Armodrillo said, "And don't worry, I'm safe in this form. So long as Khyber's pet does not turn into-"

They all then noticed that Khyber's Panuncian had turned into Slamworm.

"That," Armodrillo said.

Slamworm spat acid projectiles at Armodrillo, who dodged the attack and punched the ground, creating vibrations to knock Slamworm off balance. Slamworm launched herself into the ceiling and burst out on top of Armodrillo, sending both of them to the lower floor. Armodrillo was stuck between Slamworm's jaws, but turned his hand into a drill and jammed it into her spinning teeth, causing severe discomfort for her. Armodrillo got out of her mouth and turned into Chromastone. Chromastone fired an ultraviolet beam at Slamworm. Reboot Ben jumped through the hole and turned into Diamondhead and fired crystals at Slamworm. Both attacks did significant harm to a Slamworm. Khyber whistled and Slamworm changed.

This predator is the Antroskoúzo known as Cave Creeper, the natural predator of Petrosapiens and Crystalsapiens. This predator resembles a reptile made of dark blue rock. She has a light blue mouth with sharp, rocky teeth and some light blue crystal fangs. She has a light blue crystal on her chin and on the knees on each of her hind legs and three large, silver, claw-like toes on each foot. She has light blue crystals on her tail and a massive light blue crystal on each of her front legs' shoulders. She has clusters of light blue crystals on her head, neck, down her back, near her feet on her legs, and near the tip of her tail. She has four red eyes and markings on her throat and stomach. She wears the spiked red collar with the Nemetrix on it.

"This doesn't look good," Diamondhead said.

Cave Creeper used a sonic shriek against Chromastone and Diamondhead, who took significant damage. Diamondhead got back up and fired crystals at her, but they shattered upon impact and did no significant damage to her. Cave Creeper used another sonic attack, which Diamondhead dodged. Chromastone blasted an ultraviolet beam at Cave Creeper and it bounced off of her skin. Cave Creeper fired crystallizing beams from her eyes at Chromastone, who dodged the attack and created a force field around himself, which protected him from the next onslaught of beams. Diamondhead turned his Omnitrix symbol and turned into Omni-Kix Diamondhead.

Omni-Kix Diamondhead is enveloped from head to toe in Omni-Kix armor. He wears a form fitting grey helmet with a green visor. His neck is protected with a plating sharing the same pale green color as his crystalline body. His shoulders are reinforced with triple plated armor; the top one being pale green and the lower two being black. His upper arms have grey segmented armor, while his forearms have large white gauntlets, with yellow plating for his elbows. His hands have been left exposed. He wears a large chest piece, with the upper half colored white and the lower half colored yellow. The two halves are separated by two lines, the top glowing green and the bottom one being a thinner black line. His abdomen, upper thighs and kneecaps are covered by black armor, whereas his lower thighs, shins and feet have reinforced white plating. He wears the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, connected to two metal tubes that reach his shoulders.

Omni-Kix Diamondhead charged at Cave Creeper with a crystal mace arm, and hit her with enough force to send her into a wall. She fired another sonic attack, but Omni-Kix Diamondhead oozed a smooth crystal snake from himself before shattering. The crystal snake went behind Cave Creeper and Omni-Kix Diamondhead came out of it. He fired many crystal shards at Cave Creeper, and she actually felt in pain. She fired more sonic attacks at Omni-Kix Diamondhead, but he kept teleporting via the snake and kept attacking with crystal blades, crystal projectiles, and punches. Chromastone hit his Omnitrix symbol and turned into Shock Rock. Both Omni-Kix Diamondhead and Shock Rock created maces, Omni-Kix Diamondhead's being crystal and Shock Rock's being electricity, and used them to hit Cave Creeper in the head, knocking her out cold. Both heroes fist bumped before Omni-Kix Diamondhead turned back into Reboot Ben.

"Nice going," Shock Rock said, "guess natural predators aren't much good against unnatural armor enhancements."

"Or electricity," Reboot Ben said.

Reboot Gwen jumped down to meet up with the Bens.

"Sorry guys. There was a drone attack and I had to beat them and I did," Reboot Gwen said.

"Well nice work. We had our hand full with the crystal creep," Shock Rock said.


Meanwhile with Khyber…

Khyber watched the fight from the cameras, and his pet wasn't down for the count yet.

"Don't celebrate just yet children. I still have one more surprise," Khyber said before whistling.


Back with the Bens and Reboot Gwen…

Cave Creeper shot awake from the whistling. Shock Rock, Reboot Ben, and Reboot Gwen heard the Nemetrix being used and turned to see Cave Creeper change into another predator.

This predator resembles a long, enormous dragon made of violet Omni-Enhanced energy. She has stone plating on her back that stops a quarter-way past her tail, and stone plating on her forearms, shoulders, shins, and hips. She has a head made of stone with sharp stone eyebrows, a stone horn on her nose, two horns made of violet Omni-Enhanced energy on her head, and teeth and the inside of her mouth made of violet Omni-Enhanced energy. She has five red eyes, one under each eyebrow, a smaller one under each of those two eyes, and one in between her eyebrows. She has two large wings made of stone that each have a wing web made of violet Omni-Enhanced energy. This predator is a Fulgurvore called Storm Dragon, the natural predator of the Fulmini.

"Oh boy. This looks bad," Shock Rock said.

Storm Dragon roared before firing a blast of violet fire from her mouth at the heroes, who dodged the attack.

"You guys find the others, I'll see if the prey can outrank the predator," Shock Rock said.

"You sure?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Just go!" Shock Rock said.

With that, Reboot Ben and Reboot Gwen exited the room through a door and Shock Rock battled Storm Dragon. Storm Dragon fired blasts of violet lightning at Shock Rock, who, thinking he could redirect it, got hit by the blast and knocked against the wall.

"Okay, so I can't redirect her blasts," Shock Rock said, getting back up.

Storm Dragon charged at Shock Rock, who dodged the attack and threw a large energy ninja star at her, hitting her and angering her. Storm Dragon blasted a violet inferno at Shock Rock, who created an energy shield to avoid damage. The mighty beast charged at Shock Rock again and grabbed him with her mouth. Shock Rock punched Storm Dragon's face twice to free himself, but she only released him from her mouth by launching him via her lightning blast. Shock Rock got back up to see Storm Dragon charging at him, so Shock Rock created an energy cannon covering his right arm, and blasted her with a blast powerful enough to knock her off balance, but she got back up and lunged at him, to which he countered with another blast, sending her against the wall. However, all this did was make Storm Dragon angrier. She slammed her left front foot on the ground, creating an electric field shockwave which sent Shock Rock to the wall. Shock Rock created an energy axe in his right hand and an energy mace in his left hand before charging at Storm Dragon, who also charged at him. Shock Rock lunged at Storm Dragon and hit her with his mace, she retaliated by blasting a burst of energy at Shock Rock, which he dodged. Shock Rock got on Storm Dragon's back and hit her repeatedly with both of his weapons. Storm Dragon grabbed Shock Rock with her tail and slammed him against the ground. When Shock Rock got back up, she hit him with her tail, sending him against the wall again. Storm Dragon ran to eat Shock Rock, but he grabbed her jaws and kept her from doing so. However, Storm Dragon blasted another energy beam at Shock Rock, hitting him against the wall. Storm Dragon breathed in and energy started coming from Shock Rock's body and into her.

"This thing's draining me? Of course it can do that, it's… my… natural… predator," Shock Rock said as he was getting weaker.

Shock Rock grabbed Storm Dragon by the sides of her mouth and regained his energy and recharged. Shock a Rock created an energy hammer and hit Storm Dragon with it before using it to smash through the wall. Shock Rock escaped through the wall while Storm Dragon smashed through the wall, creating a bigger hole and chased after Shock Rock by flying.

"And it flies too!? Well I guess those wings were for something," Shock Rock said as he looked back while still running.


Meanwhile with Rook…

Rook was piloting the Proto-TRUK, shooting down drones and dodging their attacks. Rook flew the Proto-TRUK down to the ground and regrouped with everyone, who were all on the top of the Chimerian Hammer. Rook got out of the Proto-TRUK to assemble everyone and fly off of the ship.

"Is everyone here?" Rook asked.

"Not really, other Ben stayed behind to fight Khyber's pet, who is now a giant energy dragon," Reboot Gwen said.

"Well our Kevin stayed behind to fight Albedo," Prime Gwen said.

Just then, Storm Dragon's head burst through the floor with Shock Rock between her jaws. She was about to eat Shock Rock, but suddenly Ultimate Spidermonkey was thrown at her by Amalgam Kevin, who was in the air, sending her off balance and releasing Shock Rock before he turned back into Prime Ben. Amalgam Kevin landed on the ground in front of everyone.

"Ultimate my foot," Amalgam Kevin said to the unconscious Albedo.

Storm Dragon got back up and roared at the group. Amalgam Kevin winced before demutating back to normal.

"Well that was fun while it lasted," Prime Kevin said.

"Hope you're feeling generous Omnitrix, because I need something big to beat that dragon. Something Way Big!" Prime Ben said before hitting his Omnitrix and turning into Feedback, "Or something Feedback. I think Feedback will do the trick."

Storm Dragon blasted a barrage of lightning at Feedback, who dodged some of the attacks and absorbed the rest of them before blasting her with a large energy blast, angering her. Storm Dragon charged at Feedback, who jumped up and got on her head.

"If you consume energy, let's find out what happens when I take it away," Feedback said before plugging his antennae into Storm Dragon's horns and zapping and draining her to the point of rendering her unconscious. Feedback jumped off of Storm Dragon, who turned back into the Panuncian. Just then, Ultimate Spidermonkey turned back into Albedo's Galvan form and both he and the Panuncian vanished in a flash of light.

"Rook, Glitch, you two get both Gwens, my Kevin, Phil, and Zed off of this ship. Other me, you and I have a score to settle with the Vil-Geeks," Feedback said.

"Are you sure that you do not require any accompanying assistance?" Rook asked.

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing," Feedback said.

"I trust him," Reboot Ben said.

"Yeah, you always trust yourself," Reboot Gwen said with a smirk before hugging her cousin and getting into the Rustbuggy with Prime Kevin and Zed, "be safe!"

"We will. We got each other… or ourselves," Reboot Ben said.

With that, Glitch drove off of the Chimerian Hammer and landed on the Proto-TRUK, which was in flight mode and had Prime Gwen, Phil, and Rook in it. Just as everyone but the Bens had gotten off of the Chimerian Hammer, both of the Vilgaxs teleported about fifty meters in front of Feedback and Reboot Ben, and Feedback turned back into Prime Ben.

"Tennysons," Prime Vilgax said.

"Figured you two would show when no one else was here to keep you from the Omnitrices," Prime Ben said.

"You know us too well. Now that everyone else has left, you two are the only things standing between us and ultimate power," Reboot Vilgax said.

"We were just intending to tear your Omnitrices off of you wrists, now we are going to beat you senseless and tear them from your cold, lifeless bodies," Prime Vilgax said.

"You've been trying to get this for years, Vilgax. And look who's still got it," Prime Ben said.

"Yeah. This won't be like the first time we fought you both," Reboot Ben said.

"That remains to be seen," Reboot Vilgax said.

Both Bens hit their Omnitrices and transformed. Prime Ben turned into Swampfire, while Reboot Ben turned into Shock Rock. Shock Rock turned his Omnitrix symbol sideways and turned into Omni-Kix Shock Rock.

Omni-Kix Shock Rock is a robotic energy humanoid. His Omni-Kix armor is black and grey with spikes on the shoulders and glowing green details on the legs. His head is covered in a grey and neon green face mask and he wears black and grey gauntlets. The Omnitrix symbol is located on his chest with a white circle connected by four grey tubes.

Swampfire blasted fire at Prime Vilgax, which he blocked with his arms. Swampfire charged at Prime Vilgax and punched him in the face, knocking him back. Swampfire then launched seeds around Prime Vilgax which sprouted into vines that restrained him. Swampfire charged at Prime Vilgax again, but Prime Vilgax used his laser blasts to cut the vines, and hit Swampfire a few times before sending him back. Swampfire countered by blasting an inferno at Prime Vilgax, who blocked the attack with a laser blast. Both the laser and the inferno clashed with each other. Swampfire ducked out from the laser and blasted another inferno, knocking Prime Vilgax back. Prime Vilgax charged at Swampfire and the two engaged in an arm lock. Prime Vilgax got the upper hand by activating his boost steroids and pushed Swampfire with enough force to send him at least twenty meters back. Prime Vilgax fired energy blasts from his hands at Swampfire, who dodged the attack and created two vine whips. Vilgax blasted Swampfire with energy blasts, and Swampfire used his whips to slice them up and knocked an energy blast back at Prime Vilgax. Prime Vilgax got back up and charged at Swampfire.

Meanwhile Reboot Vilgax fired eye lasers at Omni-Kix Shock Rock, who evaded the attack and fired lightning blasts at him. Reboot Vilgax dodged the lightning and countered by turning his right arm into tentacles and swinging them at Omni-Kix Shock Rock before turning them back and firing his eye lasers. Omni-Kix Shock Rock got hit by the eye lasers, but created an energy sword and charged at Reboot Vilgax. Reboot Vilgax caught the sword and punched Omni-Kix Shock Rock, sending him back again. Omni-Kix Shock Rock blasted a large lightning bolt at Reboot Vilgax, who countered by firing a laser blast at Omni-Kix Shock Rock. Reboot Vilgax lunged at Omni-Kix Shock Rock and threw him back with his tentacles.

Prime Vilgax threw Swampfire, who landed on his feet next to Omni-Kix Shock Rock and was still battle-ready.

"Vilgax is stronger than when I fought him a few months ago," Shock Rock said, "I think that even with the Omni-Kix armor, I'm not making a dent in him."

Swampfire paused to think for a moment before responding, "How about I give your enhancement an Upgrade!"

Swampfire hit his Omnitrix symbol and transformed into Upgrade. He has a black exterior with green stripes that resemble circuitry all over him. The green circle on his head is his eye, which glows whenever he talks. His front torso is colored green with black circuitry patterns and the Omnitrix symbol is located on his chest.

Upgrade lunged at Omni-Kix Shock Rock and bonded with the armor. Omni-Kix Shock Rock's armor became black with green circuitry, and his energy turned green. The armor on his arms covered his forearms better and Upgrade's Omnitrix symbol was located just above the circle for Omni-Kix Shock Rock's Omnitrix symbol.

Prime Vilgax activated his boost steroids and charged at Upgraded Shock Rock, who caught Prime Vilgax's hands and engaged in an armlock with him. Upgraded Shock Rock got the upper hand when he started walking forward against Prime Vilgax's applied force, but then threw Prime Vilgax back. Prime Vilgax charged at Upgraded Shock Rock again before jumping into the air to deliver an aerial punch, but Upgraded Shock Rock punched him and sent him back. Upgraded Shock Rock then charged up a bolt of green lightning and blasted Prime Vilgax with it. Reboot Vilgax lifted a tanker and threw it at Upgraded Shock Rock, who caught it and threw it aside before firing missiles from his gauntlets at Reboot Vilgax, who destroyed them with his heat vision and charged at Upgraded Shock Rock. Upgraded Shock Rock extended his arms forward and blasted a very large bolt of green electricity at him, sending him back. Upgraded Shock Rock charged at Reboot Vilgax and uppercutted him with a powerful punch that sent him at least a mile into the air. Prime Vilgax got out his sword and launched himself at Upgraded Shock Rock, who created his own energy blades and blocked the attack. Upgraded Shock Rock pushed Prime Vilgax back, fused his swords together, and unleashed a powerful lightning sword beam that rammed into Prime Vilgax and sent him through a wall. Reboot Vilgax landed back down next to Prime Vilgax and helped his Prime counterpart back up. Prime Vilgax deactivated his boost steroids and fired energy beams from his hands while Reboot Vilgax fired energy beams from his eyes. Both beams fused together and Upgrade Shock Rock unleashed a bolt of green lightning that went through the combined attack and sent both Vilgaxs back.

"Nice try Villies, but you're no match for us," Omni-Kix Shock Rock said.

"Yeah, we're stronger together," Upgrade said.

But then both Omnitrices timed out and Omni-Kix Shock Rock and Upgrade separated before returning to normal.

"Well… that's bad," Reboot Ben said.

Prime Ben noticed that his Omnitrix looked a bit different. It looked similar to how it did before, but it had triangular arrows on the white part of the wristband on the sides of the faceplate. It also had two rectangular attachments that resembled crowns. These crown-like attachments each had a green rim, a green button, and a bright green tube on each side that connects to the wristband.

Both Vilgaxs got back up and weren't too happy.

"All you two miscreants have done is give us more reason to eviscerate you," Prime Vilgax said.

"But now, we're going to grind you into atoms," Reboot Vilgax said.

Both Bens kept hitting their Omnitrices, waiting for them to time back in to give them an alien.

"Hey Vilgaxs. So how long has it been? Three, maybe four weeks? Oh by the why other Vilgax, I like the look. You look a bit like my Vilgax did when I first met him. And nice tan line by the way," Prime Ben said in a nervous tone.

"TAN LINE!?" Reboot Vilgax angrily yelled.

Prime Ben hit his Omnitrix and turned into Feedback.

"Okay then. Feed…" Feedback paused when he noticed that his Omnitrix symbol turned itself sideways, "...back?"

Just then, Feedback was covered head to toe in Omni-Kix armor. His helmet is dark blue with a green, sharp-V-shaped visor, and two small, white protrusions that connect the helmet to his black armored antennae, which each end in a square plug with small green lines on their tips. His neck is covered in grey plating while his chest is covered in dark blue plating. His stomach area is black with a white plating at the front that had two green V shapes. There is dark blue and white armor under his stomach, and two grey metal tubes that attach to each of his hips. He has white shoulder pads with two green lines on them and black underneath. His upper arms have silver plating while his lower arms are white with a green V. His lower arms are also each engulfed by a dark blue energy cannon with a green tube and three smaller white cannons. His legs are black with green knee pads and white boots. His tail is covered in black synthetic armor and ends with the same plug as his antennae. He was now Omni-Kix Feedback. The Omnitrix symbol was on his chest and was connected by grey metal pipes that go to his back.

"What the!? Oh yeah! Omni-Kix Feedback!" Omni-Kix Feedback said.

"That. Is. Awesome!" Reboot Ben said in awe.

Both Vilgaxs charged at Omni-Kix Feedback, who countered by blasting a very big electric laser that electrocuted both Vilgaxs and sent them back. Prime Vilgax got back up and tried to hit Omni-Kix Feedback, who evaded the attack and jumped over him. Prime Vilgax tried to punch Omni-Kix Feedback, but he caught his fist and kicked him before grabbing him by the shoulders with his cannons and plugging his antennae into him and electrocuting him before blasting him away. Reboot Vilgax got up and fired his laser eyes at Omni-Kix Feedback, who used his antennae to absorb the attack and release rapid fire shots of electricity from his cannons. Reboot Vilgax dodged the attack, but Omni-Kix Feedback manipulated the electricity near him on the ship to create electric constructs of blades that he sent at Reboot Vilgax. Reboot Vilgax swatted the blades away and tried to punch Omni-Kix Feedback, but Omni-Kix Feedback vanished in a small pulse of electricity before reappearing behind Reboot Vilgax and electrocuting him. Prime Vilgax jumped up and tried to smash Omni-Kix Feedback, but the armored Conductoid fired a blast of electric plasma, from his right cannon, that exploded upon hitting Prime Vilgax. Omni-Kix Feedback slammed his cannons onto the ground, creating an electric shockwave that Prime Vilgax jumped over. Omni-Kix Feedback pointed his antennae and tail behind him and used their electric blasts to propel himself towards Prime Vilgax.

"THIS IS AWESOOOME!" Omni-Kix Feedback said while charging at Prime Vilgax.

Omni-Kix Feedback put out his cannons and punched Prime Vilgax in the face, knocking him back. Omni-Kix Feedback punched Prime Vilgax in the face again and he retaliated by trying to punch Omni-Kix Feedback, but he teleported behind him, grabbed his back and electrocuted him before launching him with another electricity blast.

End of Music

"This is not over!" Prime Vilgax said before he and Reboot Vilgax teleported away in a flash of red light. Omni-Kix Feedback turned back into Prime Ben.


On the bridge…

The Vilgaxs teleported to the bridge where Khyber, Albedo, Reboot Kevin, and Regina were.

"So bosses, you two chicken out?" Reboot Kevin asked.

"We merely made a tactical retreat," Reboot Vilgax said.

"That's the same as saying you two fled with your tails between your legs," Reboot Kevin said.

Reboot Vilgax glared at Reboot Kevin with his eye lasers ready to fire.

"Now-now, Kevin. There is a difference between a retreat and a tactical retreat," Khyber said to his protégé.

"The Tennysons have achieved victory from this battle, but victories from battles do not win wars," Reboot Vilgax said, before motioning to Prime Vilgax entering coordinates for the teleporter.

"Prepare for inter-dimensional warp jump. I have some things to retrieve elsewhere," Prime Vilgax said.

"Where on Earth are we going?" Reboot Kevin asked.

"We are not going anywhere on Earth. Well… this Earth at least," Prime Vilgax said.

"What are you saying?" Reboot Kevin asked.

"I thought that was obvious," Reboot Vilgax said, "We are traveling to the world that Khyber, Albedo, and my equal self had originated from. He got the privilege of being in my universe, now I get to see his world."

"So you are a coward Vilgax. You are having us retreat to your home plain field," Albedo said.

"I would speak with care Albedo," Reboot Vilgax said, lighting his eye lasers up again.

"Listen to my otherworldly equal, Albedo. Your incredibly vast intellect is valuable to our legion, though it is not irreplaceable," Prime Vilgax said.

"Uh… Yes sir. My apologies," Albedo said, resulting in Reboot Vilgax refraining from using his heat vision.

"Care to do the honors, my courteous counterpart?" Prime Vilgax asked.

"It would be my pleasure, my efficacious equal," Reboot Vilgax said before going over to the control panel and hitting a big red button.


Back with the Bens…

"So… where did the two octopus-headed hacks go?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Maybe they went back inside of the ship," Prime Ben said.

"Then we should go inside the ship and search for them so we can kick their butts," Reboot Ben said.

Just then, the entire Chimerian Hammer vanished in a red flash of light, both heroes noticed the Chimerian Hammer's disappearance and fell from the air screaming.

"COME ON ALREADY OMNITRIX! TIME IN! I NEED STINKFLY OR JETRAY!" Reboot Ben screamed in panic, "WE NEED AN ALIEN BUT MY WATCH IS TIMED OUT!"

"Mine isn't! Come on Omnitrix, give me a flyer! Not Armodrillo! Not XLR8! Not Four Arms! Yes, Astrodactyl! That's right Omnitrix, give me the guy who can fly," Prime Ben said before hitting his Omnitrix and turning into Cannonbolt, "Or plummet. Plummeting is fine too."

Cannonbolt grabbed Reboot Ben and curled into a ball for a more protected landing. Cannonbolt landed in the forest that the Chimerian Hammer hovered above, creating a small crater. Cannonbolt unrolled, letting Reboot Ben out before turning back to normal.

"Man, I feel dizzy," Reboot Ben said, "Is that how you felt when I went Cannonbolt and protected you when you were Ghostfreak?"

"Yeah, a little bit," Prime Ben answered.

"Quick question," Reboot Ben said before gulping down, "How did you keep your lunch down?"

Everyone went over to the Bens and Reboot Gwen, who disengaged her armor, hugged her cousin.

"Ben! I'm so glad you're okay," Reboot Gwen said before being pushed back by Reboot Ben.

"I'm not one to skip a hug from you Gwen, but I think you should give me some space so I don't hurl. I was in for quite a ride from Cannonbolt, so if you see my face turning green, step back," Reboot Ben said, still nauseous.

"It would appear that the Chimerian Hammer has disappeared in a similar manner to how our enemies retreat from battle," Rook said.

"Yeah, our Vilgax talked about how he and the other Vilgax had a teleporter that allows them to warp anyone or anything to or from both dimensions," Prime Ben said, "They must've used it to teleport their ship with them and the rest of their team on it."

"That would explain a lot," Prime Gwen said, "but where are they now?"

"From my readings, they must've gone to another universe," Phil said.

"Which one?" Prime Kevin asked.

"I'm not sure," Phil said, "Maybe one of you does."

Phil gave Rook the tablet and he read the data.

"It would appear that they have transported themselves to our universe," Rook said.

"Well, looks like our inter-dimensional vacation is over. We're all heading back home," Prime Ben said, "Rook, is the warp field generator still working?"

Rook checked inside the Proto-TRUK before responding, "It is working like an ornament."

Everyone stared at Rook, wondering what he meant.

"I said that wrong didn't I? Either way, it is still functional and online," Rook said.

"You must've meant working like a charm," Prime Kevin said.


An hour later…

The team from the Prime universe were gathering their things and putting them in the trunk of Kevin's car, which was on the trailer that was hooked up to the Proto-TRUK, which was in ground mode.

"Welp Blukic, today we bid this place farewell," Driba said, "I'm gonna miss this place."

"No, you won't," Blukic said.

"Yes, I will," Driba said.

"No, you won't. You were the one who said you hated alternate universes," Blukic said.

"It was an honor working with you otherworldly Phil," Rook said.

"Thanks. You were pretty cool yourself Magister Blonko," Phil said.

"I still can't believe that Albedo used that psycho Mechamorph's carcass to build the Antitrix," Prime Kevin said, "What's more, he lets a kid play around with it."

"Yeah, that dude is seriously messed up in that big head of his," Prime Ben said.

When they finished packing, Prime Ben decided on something.

"We seem to be ready to go," Rook said.

"Wait, I think the other me should come along," Prime Ben said.

"Wait, really? Why?" Reboot Ben asked.

"This is your Vilgax that we are dealing with. You know this version like I know mine. And it's going to take two Bens to counter two Vilgaxs," Prime Ben said.

"Sounds great and all, but what about all of my world's villains? Zombozo, Animo, the Twain Twins?" Reboot Ben asked.

"We already got that covered," Phil said, pointing to many alien ships in the air, which landed and had many soldiers wearing outfits similar to Driba's.

"Wait, what?" Reboot Ben and Gwen asked.

"These guys are our world's Plumbers organization. Max and I were a part of them," Phil said.

"Wait, you were a space cop too?" Reboot Ben said, not knowing whether to feel freaked out or excited.

"I got some explaining to do, but it'll have to wait," Max said.

"So, are you in or out?" Prime Ben asked.

Reboot Ben thought for a moment before Reboot Gwen intervened.

"Something wrong?" Reboot Gwen asked.

"I don't know what to think about this," Reboot Ben said, "I don't want to leave home, but I still want to go.

"I think I've heard you say something like that before when we went on our around the world trip," Reboot Gwen said before putting her hand on Reboot Ben's shoulder, "It's okay Ben, you're getting an amazing opportunity here. If you go, that's cool. If you stay, that's cool. Either way, I'll be here for you and follow you on your adventure."

Reboot thought for a moment before making a decision and sporting a confident and proud smile.

"Alright other me. I'm all in," Reboot Ben said with pride and determination, holding his hand out for a handshake, which Prime Ben returned.

"Great to hear. It's like I said earlier, we're stronger together," Prime Ben said.

"I'm coming too. Nobody will ever believe this trip we're having… unless I take some pictures and selfies," Reboot Gwen said.

"I'm coming as well. These are my grandkids and it's my duty to protect and help them," Max said, "Phil, you and the other Plumbers hold down the fort while we're gone."

"Consider it done," Phil said, saluting Max.

Rook had the Rustbucket attached to the back of the Proto-TRUK on the trailer, which was extended, with Kevin's car. Both Bens, both Gwens, Rook, Prime Kevin, Max, and Zed got into either the Proto-TRUK or Kevin's car, which was hooked to the Proto-TRUK. Rook was at the Proto-TRUK's driver's seat, Prime Ben was in the shotgun, Reboot Ben was between them, Max and Reboot Gwen were in the passenger seat, and Blukic and Driba were in the back, meanwhile Kevin was in his car's driver's seat with Prime Gwen in the shotgun and Zed in the back. Everyone waved goodbye to Glitch, Phil, and the rest of the Plumbers before they, the Proto-TRUK, the Rustbucket, and Kevin's car disappeared. The vehicles were floating in a strange rainbow void before there was a bright light and the Proto-TRUK reappeared outside of a city and everyone got out to admire the view.

"Ah, our home universe. Oh, I will never take you for granted again," Driba said before kissing the ground.

"Yes, you will," Blukic said.

"No, I won't," Driba said.

"We'll see about that," Blukic said.

"Where are we?" Reboot Ben asked.

"Everyone, welcome to Bellwood," Prime Ben said with a smile.
