The Revenge of the Conqueror (Reboot)

The Revenge of the Conqueror is the 26th episode of the rebooted series, Brandon 10.

Plot
In space, the Earth can be seen with the moon in its orbit. A fiery object can soon be seen approaching the Earth at increasing speeds. The shape inside the flames appears clunky and mechanical. It continues downwards. On the Earth, itself, a large forest is seen with the stars shining in the dark blue, night sky. On the ground, boots can be seen walking over and breaking branches in half as they pass through. The boots continue forward until they stop and turn towards the right. A humanoid figure in a red trench coat watches ahead with intensity.

Conqueror: Yes... It's here. Droid?

Droid: Object approaching proximity of relay point.

The Conqueror grips his staff firmly and lifts it from the ground with a sudden haste.

Conqueror: Then let us not delay. I want to be there with our new shipment arrives.

The Conqueror slides down the dirt slope before him and leaps off, touching down into the forest before him. He runs ahead with the Droid hovering after him. The Conqueror looks ahead as he runs forwards. He sees the fiery object, almost like a comet, shooting down from the sky. The object overshadows briefly as it starts to lower in altitude. Soon enough, the object crashes into the ground before the Conqueror. He stops running and stands there, looking ahead as a cloud of dust approaches him. He raises his arm to block the dust from getting into his eyes. After a second or two, he lowers his arms and squints. He walks ahead and watches his footing as he approaches the ledge around a newly created crater. The smoke and dust soon fade with the Droid now joining the Conqueror, by his side.

Droid: Object has landed, sir.

Conqueror: Your observations are on point as usual, my handy assistant. After all this time of being thwarted by that inconsiderate brat, I now have the means to conquer the Earth.

The Conqueror carefully, yet eagerly, steps ahead and makes his way deeper into the crater. The droid watches the object for a moment before hovering down into the crater to join its master. At the bottom and center of the crater appears to be a damaged spaceship of some kind. Inside of the ship, it is very dark and hard to see. But soon, a piercing red light breaks through the metal and cuts through- forming a circular shape that breaks off soon after. The moonlight phases into the ship from the newly created opening and the Conqueror looks inside. He makes his way into the ship and looks around. The droid follows in after him.

Conqueror: Readings?

Droid: There are no obvious signs of life detected, sir.

Conqueror: What about the technology on board? Is it as I have detected?

Droid: It would appear so, sir. Based on my scans, this ship is well stocked on technology that suits your needs.

Conqueror: And all of it, free for the taking.

The Conqueror stops and looks down, noticing ice patches and slash marks. He looks ahead, noticing the state of the ship's interior.

Conqueror: There appeared to be a fight on board. Something powerful was on this ship...

Droid: My scans still do not detect any life forms, sir.

Conqueror: No. They don't, do they? But we are dealing with life from beyond the stars. Not an ordinary threat but one- (adjusts staff) that I am still... well prepared for.

The Conqueror releases a red wave of energy from his staff which causes a faintly invisible creature to grow visible. Its veins light up with a pulsing red energy as the force throws the creature back into some control panels.

Conqueror: Insolent fool! Take care not to damage the equipment. I still claim to take it off of your cold, lifeless hands after I make them so.

The creature rises from the control panel and looks ahead- its yellowish-greenish eyes piercing through the darkness.

Creature: You... I remember you...

Conqueror: Impossible. I've never been to space before, alien.

Creature: I... am not alien.

The Conqueror lowers his staff, curiously.

Conqueror: Now that you mention it... you have a very familiar power set. I've fought someone similar to you.

Creature: Heh. So I finally made it back to Earth then, after all this time drifting away in space.

Conqueror: Don't congratulate yourself. It is I who brought you here. Although, I admit, my aim was at the ship- not yourself. Which begs the question. Who are you and how do you know me?

Creature: You want to use this ship to take down your greatest enemy, is that it? Well then, let's just say-

The creature steps into the light projected from the Conqueror's staff, showing himself to be Brandon Clone- still in his mutated state.

Brandon Clone: -we have a lot in common. (grins)

Theme Song

Later on, in Brandon's Lab, a training room can be seen in progress of being built. Coco is inside, practicing some make-shift karate moves while Brandon is standing outside of the room, messing around with the Omnitrix.

Coco: Coco Crack! Coco Choke-slam! Coco Clap! Coco-

Brandon, turning the dial of the Omnitrix several times: Are you just going to name moves after yourself all day?

Coco: Well at least I'm trying to train- you've just been standing out there messing around with that watch of yours.

Brandon: I dunno. I just had this weird idea that there might be more to the Omnitrix than I originally thought.

Coco: What's that supposed to mean?

Coco kicks the air, nearly losing his balance.

Brandon: I'm not sure. I can't really explain it. But I just feel like turning the dial around might help me crack the secrets that are hidden inside. You know like a cheat code or something.

Coco: Brandon, I think you've been playing waaay too many video games.

Brandon: No way. You keep hogging the system.

Coco: I'm just trying to maintain my top score, that's all. Come on, let's fight with some aliens.

Brandon: Computer, is the training room ready for that kinda stuff yet?

Computer: The structure is mostly prepped for a great matter of training battles. The material used will help the structure withstand any effects the abilities of your aliens may produce. However, while the majority of the structure has been put in place, there is still an opening for a possible misfire or rogue attack which could damage the rest of the laboratory.

Coco: Wh-What?

Computer: Technically, yes. But I wouldn't recommend it.

Coco: See? Computer, said yes.

Computer: That's not the entirety of what I said at all.

Coco: Not but it's the majority of what you said.

Computer: I notice that you're attempting to use my own argument against me but you fail to actually to see the point in my reasoning.

Brandon: Welcome to my world.

Coco: Hey!

Brandon turns the dial a couple of more times but then the face dial stops. The column rises and the hourglass changes. Soon, all of the available silhouettes blitz across. Brandon looks down at the Omnitrix, surprised.

Brandon: Whoa! You never did that before.

The silhouettes then stop and the hourglass returns to normal before the central column props down. The Omnitrix then glows a bright green.

Brandon: What did you just..

Coco: Everything okay?

Brandon: Yeah, this thing just sorta freezed and-

In an instance, the Omnitrix flashes green which overcomes Brandon, himself. He then transforms into Freezefire.

Freezefire, looking at himself: Ack! How did I-?

Coco, stepping out of the training room: Dude, did you just... transform without slamming down the watch?

Freezefire: Yeah... I mean that's pretty cool but how was I able to do that?

Computer: Perhaps this is the secret that you have been meaning to discover this entire time.

Freezefire: The power to transform... with just a thought?

Coco: Well? Try it out then.

Freezefire: Um... okay... uh- (closes eyes) Wildpup?

Within another flash, Freezefire transforms instantly into Wildpup.

Wildpup, surprised: (barks)

Coco: Cool! So it does work. Do you know what this means?

Wildpup: (barks)

Coco: Wait, what?

Wildpup: (barks)

Coco: Hang on, turn into someone that can speak English.

Wildpup growls briefly before another flash overcomes him. He transforms into Four Arms.

Four Arms: I said it means that I can transform into anyone I want.

Coco: Yeah, exactly. Wait, so out of all the aliens you have, why'd you pick Four Arms?

Four Arms flexes one of his arms, as if in disbelief that he has it.

Four Arms: I was just thinking about punching you with one of my aliens. Guess even vague thoughts can translate into alien transformation thoughts.

Coco: Ha-ha, very funny. Look, just keep that thought thing under control. We wouldn't want to transform out of nowhere and freak everyone out.

Four Arms: This is way too big for the training room anyways. Come on, we should head outside and-

Four Arms transforms instantly back into Brandon.

Brandon -test this out.

Coco: Did you not just hear what I said?

Brandon: What? You're the one that wanted me to try it out.

Coco: Okay, now you're just using things that I said earlier against me. Not cool, man.

Computer: Hm. Now where have I heard that one before?

Coco looks down sheepishly.

Coco: Oh right...

Brandon: Heh. Come on, I finally have control over this thing. Sorta like Master Control. Yeah, that sounds about right. With Master Control finally unlocked, I can probably do a whole bunch of hero things only even better than before.

Coco: Well, I guess s-

A flash overcomes Brandon, causing Coco to shield his eyes. As he lowers his arm, he is picked up by XLR8, who has his face shield lowered.

XLR8: Great! Well, there's no time to lose!

Coco: Hey!

XLR8 whooshes off with Coco in hand, as they both quickly leave the laboratory. Elsewhere, the Conqueror's Droids can be seen examining the alien technology from Brandon Clone's ship. The Conqueror goes over incoming data on his tablet device while Brandon Clone watches him from the short distance.

Brandon Clone: How long is this going to take?

Conqueror: Speak when spoken to.

Brandon Clone: I don't enjoy people telling me what to do.

Conqueror: You best get used to it. I'm trying to analyze this technology.

Brandon Clone: I already told you, those are spaceship parts. When my pod crashed into it, I had sneaked on board and fought with the crew- taking their ship in the process. Then I got that weird signal from Earth... the one that you sent out.

Conqueror: It was not a homing beacon! It was meant to lure any extraterrestrial objects closer to the Earth so that I can extract them and use them against my enemies.

Brandon Clone: Well consider me an extraterrestrial object. You won't be using me for anything though but we can work together.

Conqueror: Me... working together with the likes of you? Don't make me laugh.

Brandon Clone: You can quit it with the high and mighty act. You might like to think that you're superior to Humanity but there's still one Human that keeps on besting you.

Conqueror: And you wore his face... you have his powers. Why should I trust you?

Brandon Clone: Hmph. I'm not asking for your trust. I need your help beating him just as much as you need mine. He might have found ways to take us down before but together, he doesn't stand a chance.

The Conqueror stands there, stroking his chin in consideration.

Conqueror: You make a valid point. Hmm...

The Conqueror looks over Brandon Clone thoroughly.

Conqueror: Now that you mention it, you may have your uses after all.

Brandon Clone: Hmph...

Conqueror: Alright, I accept your offer. We'll work together to defeat Brandon 10... once and for all.

The Conqueror extends his hand out. Brandon Clone eyes it for a brief moment before extending his own hand. The two then shake, looking at each other with sinister grins.

Conqueror: Scan him!

The Droids surround Brandon Clone, who backs up in a sort of panic.

Brandon Clone: Grah! What is this?!

Conqueror: Your genetic structure has been completely rewritten. No doubt by some sort of idiotic accident.

Brandon Clone: Hey!

Conqueror: Don't take offense. Just heed my words, for they have more meaning than you can possibly comprehend. Your DNA matches the same genetic signature as the alien lifeforms that exist within Brandon 10's device. If I am to assume that you had connected with the Omnitrix and absorbed its DNA, then I can be able to track the Omnitrix with your genetic template.

Brandon Clone: I see... the Omnitrix emits a genetic frequency that parallels my own, so by scanning my own- you can locate him.

Conqueror: Good... You're not as much as imbecile as your counterpart.

Brandon Clone: I want to be nothing like him. He made me into a villain and now a monster. He'll pay for everything that he's done to me.

Conqueror: And I, as well. Do not fret Duplicate, for vengeance will be upon him soon enough.

The Conqueror's tablet shows that Brandon Clone's genetic frequency is being assimilated through the Droid scans. Meanwhile, a park is seen close to the town's streets. XLR8 races on over and transforms back into Brandon, after putting down Coco.

Coco: I think I have leaves in my hair! I guess I can see why you have a face plate now.

Brandon: Just be glad it weren't bugs.

Coco: That actually happens? Anyways, you really wanna train out here... in the open?

Brandon: Why not? I can just transform back into me whenever rather than waiting for the Omnitrix to time out so I won't get caught.

Coco: Yeah but I dunno- I think you turning into the aliens suddenly is more noticeable than them turning into you.

Brandon: True. Guess I'll just have to blend in with the chaos.

Coco looks around, seeing the peaceful park and the calm street around him.

Coco, sarcastic: Wow, sure seems very chaotic around here.

Brandon: When it does get chaotic, I mean.

The roaring of a helicopter's engines are then heard loudly overhead. Many people look up to the sky, including Brandon and Coco, as a helicopter hovers recklessly over the city. On board, there are some armed men wearing leather jackets and ski masks. Some of which have yelling people in their grasp or rather in the back of the helicopter, itself.

Armed Man, grabbing one of the people: Shut up already! We don't need all the hostages in order to get that cash load!

He pushes her closer to the edge and she starts to lean out of the helicopter. The hostage lets out of a scream. Brandon and Coco step up and look ahead, surprised.

Brandon: Hostages!

Coco: Be careful with what you wish for, eh?

Brandon looks a little annoyed at Coco before looking back up at the helicopter.

Brandon: Alright, I'm gonna go and stop that copter. You make sure everyone stays out of danger.

Coco: Wait, I think I do a little more to-

With a flash, Brandon transforms into Gasadactyl and soars upwards.

Coco: ...help. (sigh)

Coco then looks around cautiously before running into some bushes with a groan. A flash then occurs within the bushes and Diamondhead steps out, brushing some leaves off of his crystalline skin.

Diamondhead: Ugh... Alright, time to play crowd control, I guess.

Diamondhead runs ahead. Up in the skies, Gasadactyl flaps his wings and hovers before the helicopter which uneasily matches altitude.

Helicopter Thug Pilot: What the heck is that thing?!

Helicopter Thug 2: Who cares? Just knock it out of the sky! We don't have time for this.

The helicopter dashes ahead in an attempt to smack Gasadactyl away, but he flies around it. He then lets out a gas from his beak which covers the front window of the helicopter.

Gasadactyl: Good luck flying now!

The helicopter then flies into the gas cloud and swings around. The front of the helicopter crashes into a telephone pole while the tail swings and crashes into some power lines. The power lines end up getting tangled up in the tail motor. The telephone pole cracks in half and starts to fall down towards some citizens, who scream out. Diamondhead rushes over and raises a diamond structure from the ground, which protects the citizens.

Diamondhead: You guys okay?

The citizens nod, half terrified and half amazed. Meanwhile, Gasadactyl looks surprised at the chaos that had just broken out.

Gasadactyl: Uh oh!

The helicopter then dangles from the power lines. One of the captors accidentally shoves the hostage over the edge. He looks down surprised but then turns to the other armed thug.

Helicopter Thug: Get us free from those power lines, man!

Helicopter Thug 2: But we'll fall!

Helicopter Thug: You think I care, all that matters is getting the heck out of here!

The woman that was a hostage continues falling from the helicopter. Gasadactyl dives down and, within a green flash, he transforms into a liquid which quickly splashes against the ground. It then reforms into Aqualad who forms into a bed of water. The woman lands against the water, which saves her from the fall. Aqualad then reforms around her and helps her to her feet.

Woman, faintly: Uh- thanks! Bird uh- water thing.

Aqualad: No problem.

Aqualad then turns back to the helicopter and transforms once again- now into Big Boo.

Big Boo: Now to deal with those helicopter thugs.

Big Boo floats upwards. In the helicopter, the armed thugs are focused on cutting themselves free from the power lines- while the other hostages remain in the back, tied up. Big Boo phases through the helicopter and takes a hostage with him- phasing him through the helicopter, itself. In a short instance, he returns taking another hostage. Outside, on top of the copter, the armed men continue cutting free the helicopter.

Helicopter Thug: Come on, come on. Hurry up already before the actual police show up.

Big Boo, phasing through the helicopter, rising up: I think you have bigger things to worry about.

The thugs turn and see Big Boo levitating there.

Helicopter Thug: You really want to mess with us? We have hostages, remember!

Big Boo: Do you now?

The helicopter thug looks over the edge and check inside of the copter. There are no longer any hostages there. He then looks down even further, at the ground, and sees Diamondhead has created a crystaline slope for which the citizens are sliding down to safety. The thug slams his fist against the side of the copter and turns quickly to Big Boo.

Helicopter Thug: You freed the hostages! You're really going to regret that now! Get him!

The second thug rushes towards Big Boo, firing his blaster at him. Big Boo transforms into Slime Shot, who wraps around the thug's arm and tightens his grip on it- forcing him to drop the weapon. Slime Shot then stretches around the thug, wrapping himself around the thug's body. His bones then start to form together before he creates a small explosion which enough force to just knock out the thug. Slime Shot then forms back together as the much larger thug that had been the pilot- comes back him with brute force. Slime Shot springs up at the brutish thug as he transforms into Four Arms- delivering a sudden uppercut that catches the thug off guard. Four Arms delivers a few more punches to the brute before knocking him out with a final strike. He then looks over at the final Helicopter Thug ahead of him. He looks nervous as sweat beads down his face. Four Arms then grins and charges at him.

Helicopter Thug: No, no, no!

With one smack, the Helicopter Thug goes flying off of the side of the helicopter. Four Arms watches him fall for a moment before jumping down after him. He goes a flip in the air and, within a green flash, he transforms once again. Just as the thug is about to hit the street, he is stopped in mid-air. The thug then looks up, seeing himself being lifted up by Gasadactyl's feet as he flaps his wings. Gasadactyl then tosses the thug onto the street as police cruisers show up. Some of the citizens cheer for him while Diamondhead looks around at the applause. He then turns to Gasadactyl, with a stern expression. Back in the forest, the Conqueror Droids can be seen repairing the spaceship that Brandon Clone had arrived in; it has been moved from the crater to a more clearer opening close to the Conqueror's wrecked platform. Inside, the platform, the Conqueror can be seen analyzing the frequency while a news feed shows Gasadactyl waving to the fans with Diamondhead behind him. Brandon Clone watches the news feed and growls to himself.

Brandon Clone: I get turned into a monstrous freak and he gets to become the greatest hero the world has ever seen... It's not fair!

Conqueror: Life isn't fair, child. But that is where we come in.

Brandon Clone: What are you talking about?

Conqueror: We are powerful beings. You... in more ways than one. People with power have the methods to change the world our them. But together, we can change much more than the world. We can change everything beyond the stars. If life treats us unfairly then we will have to change the way life, itself, functions. So that we are the victorious ones and those that stand in our way... simply become conquered.

Brandon Clone: I think I finally see the way you think. No wonder why you're enemies with Brandon. He's threatened by your presence.

Conqueror: Hmph. As he should be. I have fitted my tracking systems to detect the Omnitrix whenever it is in use. We should be able to get a general area as to where he is and attack him... together. That is... unless... you have a better idea of locating him. Perhaps, information locked away in that copied brain of yours. Information that we can use against him.

Brandon Clone: My business is with Brandon. I may have been copied from him but that doesn't mean the life he lives isn't any more mine than it is his. Once this is over, I will take over from where he left off. So anything personal to him, is personal to me, Conqueror.

Conqueror: Hmph. I see... Let me remind you that what we have is a partnership. One that you offered to me. If I even detect a hint of wavering from you, do not expect me to show sympathy.

Brandon Clone: Likewise...

Conqueror: ...Good. Like I was saying earlier, once the systems have fully calibrated this genetic signature, we should be able to locate the boy and destroy him together.

Brandon Clone grins. Back at Brandon's lab, Coco can be seen sitting in the chair- looking quite annoyed. A green flash occurs behind him as XLR8 rushes by. Another green flash then occurs as Slime Shot stretches one of his limbs over to stick to some equipment before reeling it over. Another green flash then occurs. Coco slams his hands against the sides of the chair and raises up quickly. He then turns and walks over to the mechanic object before him.

Coco: Brandon! We need to talk.

Coco stops and looks around, curiously.

Coco: Uh... Brandon?

A small grey, frog-like alien then climbs out of some machinery.

Grey Matter: Oh hey! How's it going?

Coco: Gah! What are you?

Grey Matter: I dunno. New Alien, I guess.

Coco: He's small. I want him.

Grey Matter: I thought you were into bigger and radder aliens.

Coco: I am but just imagine all the places I can go with something that small.

Grey Matter: Judging by your personality and actions in previous experiences that I have witnessed across the entirety of the time that I've known you, I have to calculate that you would most likely use this transformation to climb into vending machines, ride on top of a Frisbee and sneak into the girl's bathroom.

Coco: How'd you guess that?

Grey Matter: I just told you. I recalled my previous memories of you and inserted them into a equation that would allow me to guess the correct choice based on your actions and personality type.

Coco: What?

Grey Matter: I know you.

Coco: Oh. And for the record, not all of that was true.

Grey Matter: Of course, I was merely joking about the bathr-

Coco: It would've been a baseball. Not a Frisbee.

Grey Matter is speechless for a brief moment.

Grey Matter: Wow. I really should've seen that coming.

Coco: So what do you call him?

Grey Matter: How about Molecular Man? Or Axonpibian?

Coco: Those names kinda suck, dude.

Grey Matter: I really don't want to waste any grey matter stressing about this issue, Coco.

Coco: Wait, what was that last thing you said? Grey Matter?

Grey Matter: Yes. (adjusting posture) You see, Grey Matter is the dark tissue in your brain that is connected to the-

Coco: You should call him that- Grey Matter.

Grey Matter: (sigh) I suppose that would make it easier for when I'm not super smart in this form... Oh wait, I'm super smart in my Human form too. (laughs)

Coco: Laugh it up, wise guy. Just remember, I know where the broom and dust bin is.

Grey Matter transforms back into Brandon. He brushes off some dust and metal shavings from his shoulder.

Brandon: Computer, remind me to clean the floors. This place is dirtier when you're so small.

Computer: Okay, I'll add that to your other 23 reminders.

Brandon: So, what'd you wanna talk about?

Coco: I think you're taking this whole Master Control thing a little too... far.

Brandon: What? No way. I'm totally using the heck out of this thing.

Coco: Yeah, that's the problem, Brandon. Hanging out is just watching you build machines faster because you can use all of your alien powers without having to time out. And then when you head out to fight crime, it's you that gets all the glory while I'm stuck watching over the citizens.

Brandon: I mean, you helped out too. I wouldn't train you to be a hero if I didn't think you couldn't be one like me.

Coco: Yeah, I guess. Except, you don't really need me now, do you? You only decided to train me because you needed help out there. But now that you have Master Control, what's even the point?

Brandon: Well, uh-

Coco: That's what I thought. I'm heading home.

Brandon: Coco.

Coco: Call me when you actually need me or decide to turn that thing off long enough to wanna actually do something fun.

Coco leaves the lab in a haste, leaving Brandon alone with his mechanical messes. He lets out a sigh and looks down at the Omnitrix. Back at the Conqueror's platform, the signal can be seen fading from a portion of a map on the screen.

Brandon Clone: Gah! We lost him. What happened to the signal?

Conqueror: He must be not be using the Omnitrix anymore. I expected this much from the beginning but the use seems to be increasing from some unknown reason.

Brandon Clone: So what do we do now? Wait around some more?

Conqueror: No... The signal localized just enough to know which area he is in. We can head over there and search for him. He should not be too far by the time we arrive. And when we find him...

Brandon Clone: We make him pay.

Later on, Brandon can be seen leaving his house. He goes from a walk through the forest close by. He kicks a rock which bangs into a tree which a blast mark on it. Brandon looks at the tree for a moment before walking into a clearing. He then sits down a rock by a stream and lets out a sigh.

Brandon: I know I shouldn't use it as much but... is it really that bad of a thing to have? I mean master control over all of my aliens so far. Maybe even ones that I didn't even know I had. New aliens... all I need is a thought. With this, I can be the best hero the world has ever known! But... it's also pushing me away from my friend and everything else that seems to matter. Ugh! Why do I have to make choices like this? (sigh)

Brandon looks down and picks up a pebble in his hand. He examines it for a few seconds.

Brandon: What I really need to something to get my mind off of things.

Brandon throws the pebble into the stream. It skips on the water twice before getting carried away by the flowing waters. Brandon sighs again with an explosion being seen, rising above the trees. Brandon looks surprised and turns his head, seeing the smoke rising up. He then gets up from the rock and hurries off towards the direction of the explosion. Screaming can be heard as Brandon darts out of the woods. He looks ahead, seeing citizens run past him in different directions. His eyes widen as he takes a step back.

Brandon: No... way...

Before Brandon, Brandon Clone can be seen shooting flames from one hand and diamond projectiles from the other. The flames and diamonds cause extensive property damage while the people run for cover.

Brandon Clone, voice booming: Come on out, hero! We know you're here... somewhere...

Brandon, to himself, keeping low: Brandon Clone! But- How'd he get back to Earth? Ugh... I guess it doesn't matter right now. I've gotta use the Master Control to take him down.

Brandon rushes ahead into the crowd, pushing past person and person. A green flash then occurs within the crowd as soon Freezefire jumps up into the air and blasts his way ahead. He throws a fireball at Brandon Clone, knocking him back only slightly. Brandon Clone chuckles to himself before turning to meet Freezefire's gaze- who slides down an ice slope to reach the street level.

Brandon Clone: Look you finally joined the party.

Freezefire: What are you doing on Earth, Brandon Clone?

Brandon Clone: Don't call me that. And the Earth is my home too. Or did you forget that?

Freezefire: You're too dangerous for this planet. That's why-

Brandon Clone: Yeah, yeah. That's why you tried sending me into a deep reaches of space.

Freezefire: It was supposed to be a maximum security prison on Earth. The device malfunctioned and sent you into space.

Brandon Clone: I'm tired of your lies. You keep thinking that things are going to turn out your way but not this time!

Freezefire: Yeah, yeah. You hate me and want to get your revenge. I heard it before. How about you skip to part where you tell me how managed to find your way back to Earth.

Conqueror, unseen: He came back through me.

Freezefire's face freezes and he slowly turns to the right to see the Conqueror arriving on his own little hover platform- staff in hand.

Conqueror: So... we meet again, Brandon 10.

Freezefire: The Conqueror?!

Brandon Clone: That's right... We've formed alliance to finally take you down.

Conqueror: Think of this as my ultimate revenge against you.

Freezefire: This can't be happening.

Brandon Clone: Oh, it's happening. So are you really sure you want to tussle with us?

Conqueror: Or would you prefer to surrender now and make this experience all the less enjoyable?

Brandon: I won't go down fighting.

Conqueror: It's almost funny. I was just hoping you would say that. Partner!

Brandon Clone: Oh, I'm going to enjoy this.

Brandon Clone charges for Freezefire, who blasts a wave of ice ahead of him. Brandon Clone bursts into flames, breaking through the ice. He then gets close enough and strikes Freezefire into a row of cars.

Freezefire, dropping to the sidewalk: Ugh...

A laser blast then fires down at him. Freezefire looks up, surprised, and sees the Conqueror pointing ahead at Freezefire with two Conqueror Droids flying towards him while also firing a set of lasers.

Freezefire: Oh you've got to be kidding me!

Freezefire then throws fireballs at the droids, causing them explode. However a cannonball knocks Freezefire over the side of the car. He gets up, holding his chest and sees Brandon Clone firing cannonballs from a shoulder cannon on the palm of his right hand.

Freezefire: Grgh... Time to change things up.

Freezefire then transforms into Ro-Warasaur and grabs the car before him. He then chucks it Brandon Clone, who looks ahead surprised. Brandon Clone then gets knocked back and thrown across- into a parking lot. The Conqueror leans forward, eyes widen.

Conqueror: Interesting!

Ro-Warasaur fires some cannonballs from his shoulder cannons at the Conqueror, who maneuvers around them. He then fires a laser from his staff- which hits Ro-Warasaur in the arm, leaving behind a burnt mark. Ro-Warasaur winces and holds his arm.

Ro-Warasaur: Oh, you're gonna regret that now.

Ro-Warasaur then transforms into Gasadactyl and flies up towards the Conqueror. The Conqueror dispatches more Conqueror Droids which disperse from his platform. They fire more lasers at Gasadactyl who soars around them. He then grabs one of them and crashes into against the other before heading for the others.

Conqueror: Partner, I need assistance.

Brandon Clone, over the comms: I'm on my way.

Brandon Clone climbs up on top of a semi-truck parked in the parking lot and takes a deep breath. He then lets out a sonic scream at Gasadactyl's direction. Gasadactyl knocks down another Droid before holding his head as the sonic waves hit against him. Gasadactyl then drops down and crashes into a dumpster. Brandon Clone grins and drops down from the semi-truck. He then phases through a brick wall and makes his way over to the dumpster.

Brandon Clone: I have you now!

Cannonbolt then bursts through the dumpster, knocking down Brandon Clone and running him over. He then stops and rolls back- running over again. Cannonbolt then unfolds and puts his hands on his waist.

Cannonbolt: Talk about element of surpr-

Cannonbolt is then struck with a red energy wave which knocks him forward.

Cannonbolt: AGH!

Brandon Clone then grabs Cannonbolt's leg as he gets up. He then swings him around and slams him against the side of the alleyway's brick walls. Cannonbolt then flops to the ground and looks up, seeing the Conqueror- no longer on his platform- and Brandon Clone looking down at him.

Conqueror: Now it is time we ended this.

Brandon Clone: Agreed.

Cannonbolt transforms within a green flash. The Conqueror and Brandon Clone avert their eyes for a brief moment before turning back. Brandon is no longer there.

Brandon Clone: Wha- Where did he go?!

Conqueror: Find him! We can't let him escape!

Brandon Clone turns and sees Grey Matter climbing up a pipe.

Brandon Clone: What the-?!

Grey Matter chuckles nervously. Brandon Clone fires crystalline projectiles at Grey Matter, who leaps from the pipe and clings to the other brick wall. He then leaps off from there and onto the ledge.

Conqueror: After him!

Brandon Clone: I know, I know!

Brandon Clone slams his hand into the brick wall and make a hole for his hand. He does this for the other hand as he manages to climb up the brick wall. The Conqueror steps out of the alleyway and steps onto his hovering pad. He then levitates over the alleyway and sees Grey Matter making a run for it. The Conqueror aims his staff and adjusts the settings. He then fires a powerful beam, which explodes upon impacts. Grey Matter flies through the air due to the force of the explosion. He then transforms into Ro-Warasaur once again and prepares to strike down the Conqueror. However, the Conqueror twists his staff and a red energy field appears around him, nullifying the attack.

Conqueror: You'll have to try a lot harder than that, Brandon.

The Conqueror tilts his staff further ahead and uses its end to electrocute Ro-Warasaur, who drops down to the ground, stunned.

Conqueror: One does not merely overpower the Conqueror.

Ro-Warsaur weakly gets up and looks behind him- seeing Brandon Clone emerge from the alleyway. He looks to his other side and sees the Conqueror hover down before him.

Brandon Clone: You can't fight forever, Brandon!

Ro-Warasaur: Grgh... Maybe I won't have to.

The Conqueror suddenly looks surprised as he leans forward, practically throwing himself off of the hovering platform.

Conqueror: Quickly, stop him!

The Conqueror charges for Ro-Warasaur, staff ready, while Brandon Clone rushes ahead. A green flash then erupts between the two. The Conqueror sends out a wave of energy from his staff while Brandon Clone fires a wave of flames and ice from his hands. However, the energy winds up colliding with the flame and ice- cancelling each other out. As the dust settles, the Conqueror and Brandon Clone can be seen looking ahead at each other with Brandon no where to be seen.

Brandon Clone: He got away!

Conqueror: I noticed... Hm.

The Conqueror stands where he is, securing his staff in crook of his arm, as he strokes his chin, thoughtfully.

Brandon Clone: Well, what do we do now? Can you still locate him with your tracker?

Conqueror: Not until he uses the Omnitrix again and in this chance...

The Conqueror returns to his platform and checks the screen.

Conqueror: Just as I thought. He's in his Human form. Most likely, trying to evade us now that he knows we're after him.

Brandon Clone: So what do we do now?

Conqueror: We delve somewhere that'll hurt him the most in order to draw him from the shadows. I respect the fact that you're keeping his personal details from me as a ploy for your own benefit once we reach our agreement. But if we want to lure him out into the open, I need only one detail. One important and extremely personal detail.

Brandon Clone looks uneasily at the Conqueror. Later, a house can be seen in the residential area of the neighborhood. Inside, Coco can be seen playing video games in his room.

Coco: Come on, I'm so close to beating this high score already! Come on, come on, come on! Gah!

He throws his controller down and lets out a huff.

Coco: Well, that was my last life. Better get a snack or something before retrying this level again.

Coco gets up from his chair and heads out of his room. He then makes his way into the kitchen and opens the fridge. It's decently stocked and Coco reaches for the orange juice. He pulls the carton out of the fridge and closes the door behind him. Coco then turns to the counter but stops- dropping the carton onto the floor, spilling the juice onto the floor. He stands, frozen in fear.

Coco: N-N-

He can't even bring himself to say something. Before him, the Conqueror stands on the other side of the counter, staff in hand. His gaze fixated solely on Coco.

Conqueror: Coco, was it? Nice to see you again, isn't it?

Coco: How-What are you-

Conqueror: What am I doing here or How did I find you? If you're going to bother me with such trivial questions, at least decide on what you're going to say before you spew it out to me.

Coco takes a moment to gulp and gather his words.

Coco: What are you doing here, Conqueror? I thought we defeated you.

Conqueror: Hmph. That's understandable. You're a child. You're naive, it's helpless to think otherwise. No. I always return and this time I return with a vengeance.

The Conqueror then starts to approach Brandon, his grip tightening around his staff. Coco stands ready, albeit shaking slightly.

Coco: Stay back, I'm warning you!

Conqueror: Do you really think you're half the hero that your dubious friend claims to be? Please... Why do you think I'm here? You're the weak link, Coco. You always were and always have been. And those that are easily conquered do not deserve power like you possess.

Coco: I'm serious! Keep the heck away from me!

Conqueror: Aren't you going to ask your other question?

Coco: W-What?

Conqueror: You know... how I found where you live? I'm not exactly one to waste time on others.

Coco: How did you find out?

Conqueror: From him.

The Conqueror tilts his staff towards the window. Coco uneasily follows the staff's point and looks outside of his window. Outside is Brandon Clone who fires a cannonball from his palm- which crashes through the window. Glass flies across Coco's kitchen as he gets knocked down to the floor. The Conqueror then comes to slam his staff down against Coco, who quickly rolls out of the way. He swipe kicks the Conqueror, knocking him down. The Conqueror lets out a frustrated growl as he slams his fist against the floor. Coco then gets up and rushes around the counter, only for Brandon Clone to start stepping into the kitchen, looming over Coco.

Brandon Clone: Going somewhere?

Coco reaches for the Omnitrix but Brandon Clone grabs his arm and raises him up from the ground.

Coco: Gah! Let go!

The Conqueror rises slowly from the floor and rubs the side of his chin.

Conqueror: Now that we have you, your good friend shall soon come running.

Coco manages to kick Brandon Clone in the face, causing him to loosen his grip on his arm. Coco then weasels his way loose and runs off. The Conqueror shoots a laser from his staff before Coco, causing him to stop in place.

Conqueror: With all that power, I would have expected you know how to use it, partner.

He says that last word in a bit of a tone. Brandon Clone picks up on it and lets out a low growl under his breathe, as he rubs his face.

Brandon Clone: He just caught me by surprise, that's all.

Conqueror, to Coco: Now, you can either come with us willingly or we can take great pleasure to taking you down just as easily we had defeated your coward of a friend.

Coco: No... You didn't beat Brandon. He always beats you!

Conqueror: Like I said, it's helpless to fight against your naivety. You both are- after all- just children with the power of deities. Power that will soon become my own.

The Conqueror prepares to blast Coco once again with another laser from his staff when a whip of water splashes against the Conqueror, knocking him into the side of the house. Coco and Brandon Clone look to their side in surprise- seeing Aqualad dropping down and splashing against the street.

Brandon Clone: Back for another punishment so soon?!

Aqualad: Coco, get out of here!

Aqualad stretches his watery arms ahead and wraps them around Brandon Clone- as if trying to hold him down. Coco turns back, seeing Brandon Clone drop down to his knees, struggling against the pressure of the water weighing him down.

Aqualad: Go!

Coco rushes over to Aqualad's side- moving away from Brandon Clone and the Conqueror.

Coco: What's going on?! Why is the Conqueror and that mutant thing attacking my home?!

Aqualad, struggling: They came back to get revenge on me. The Conqueror somehow summoned Brandon Clone to Earth and now they're working together.

Coco, surprised: Wait, that's your clone?

Aqualad, struggling: Uh- yeah. Look, you need to get to the lab. I have that gear from your A.C.T. friend.

Coco: The Capture Zone stuff? I thought you said not to touch those things because it has elements I wouldn't understand. And if I needed it, only to use it during an emergency.

Aqualad, struggling: RGH! This sort of IS an emergency, Coco! Please, I'm counting on you! I'll hold them off as long as I can but you need to get the gear and use it to send this guys far away from here. It's our only option, they're just too powerful even with the Master Control unlocked.

Coco: Let me help. I can be a hero too.

Aqualad: Coco... this is you helping. Heroes fight until the battle is over but sometimes you can't fight all your problems. I've been thinking about this and I think this is our best shot. But I can't do it without you-

Brandon Clone starts to freeze Aqualad and his arms begin to crack.

Aqualad: Grgh! You have to go, now! I can't hold him any longer! Coco, please, just go!

Coco hesitates for a moment but then delivers a sharp nod as he starts to dash off. He activates his Omnitrix and turns the dial a few times before slapping the column down. With a flash, he transforms into Stinkfly and flies off. Aqualad's arms then shatter. He breaks off the ice stubs and his wet limbs reform as he looks up at Brandon Clone.

Brandon Clone: Still trying to be the hero, huh?

Aqualad: Someone has to. You wouldn't.

Brandon Clone: You never gave me that chance! But once you're gone, I'll be the one people are applauding. Not you!

Brandon Clone then rushes forward, ready with an attack, while Aqualad spirals around and stretches out towards his mad copy. The two are about to impact with one another. In the next instance, however, Stinkfly can be seen landing close to Brandon's home. He approaches the home as the Omnitrix symbol starts flashing red. He transforms back into Coco and enters the house. In Brandon's Lab, Coco can be seen rushing in and looking around.

Coco: Computer!

Computer: Hello, Coco. You seem troubled. Is there something wrong?

Coco: Brandon's in trouble and I need to find the Capture Zone gear.

Computer: But wasn't it Brandon, himself, who told you not to use the gear unless it was an-

Coco: It is an emergency, Computer. Please, I need your help to find it.

Computer: ...The Capture Zone gear should be located in a cabinet close to the workbenches.

Coco: Thanks!

Coco rushes over to the workbench area of the laboratory and soon finds a metallic cabinet. He opens the doors and the Capture Zone gear rests on a shelf within. The gear consists of Capture Zone pods, a utility belt and a unique-looking blaster in the center. Coco takes the blaster first and looks at it. It has a similar design as the Capture Zone pods. He then shrugs and grabs the rest of the gear. He then rushes past Computer.

Computer: Coco.

Coco stops and quickly turns to Computer.

Computer: Y-Yeah?

Computer: ...Concerning the emergency and the troubled expressions on your face, I hope everything will be alright. And I expect to see both you and Brandon return to the laboratory once it is has passed.

Coco considers what Computer has to say and nods.

Coco: Thanks, Computer. I'll... I'll see you soon. We both will.

Coco forces a smile and turns to leave the laboratory in a haste. Back in the streets, Wildvine can be seen getting smacked into the side of another house. He looks up weakly, seeing both Brandon Clone and the Conqueror approach. The Conqueror swirls the staff in his hands before catching it once again. Wildvine shoves his arms into the lawn that he had found himself on and stretches them outwards into the ground. A large vine then emerges from the street, breaking through the asphalt. It knocks the Conqueror back and Brandon Clone hovers slightly through the air to regain his balance. He then slices through the vine with a flame before touching down against the street. The Conqueror fires another beam from his staff which burns through Wildvine's arm- severing them.

Wildvine: Ggh!

He reels back while his arms start to regenerate. Wildvine then rushes ahead- his arms soon fully healed. He then transforms into Wildpup who releases another sonic bark at both the Conqueror and Brandon Clone, forcing them to cover their ears. The Conqueror, however, raises his staff.

Conqueror: No more!

He slams it against the street, releasing a energy wave into it. The wave knocks Wildpup back as he tumbles against the street, itself. Soon transforming back into Brandon, who looks a little worse for wear. Brandon weakly wobbles onto his feet and looks at the approaching enemies.

Brandon: I-Is that the best you've got?

Brandon uneasily runs ahead, soon transforming into XLR8, who dashes ahead with an attack. Soon, smacked away by Brandon Clone. XLR8 tumbles and even skids across the street before transforming back into Brandon again. Brandon manages to get up again, although with one knee still on the ground.

Brandon: I'm still- standing...

He lets out a heavy breathe as he pushes himself ahead. He transforms into Big Boo, flying ahead and overhead. He reaches deep under his ragged skin and pours out some dark energy clouds that start to surround the two of them. Brandon Clone freezes the cloud and the Conqueror shatters it with his staff. Big Boo then floats on down, slashing at the Conqueror, who blocks his slashes with his staff. He then tilts the staff towards Big Boo, electrocuting him with the end point. Big Boo then drops down to the ground, turning back into Brandon, before them. Brandon Clone then kicks Brandon, causing him to tumble across the street until he hits the curb. Brandon lets out a weak groan and he struggles to get up.

Conqueror: It's over. We have finally beaten you, Brandon 10. You finally realized that you are not the hero you always wanted to be, after all.

Brandon: N-No... I- ugh... I won't give up.

Conqueror: I'm losing my drive due to this weakness before us. Finish him off so we can return him to my lab for extraction.

Brandon Clone: With pleasure.

As Brandon Clone approaches the weakened Brandon, a distinct shouting can be heard- catching his attention. Behind them, Coco can be seen running ahead- wearing the utility belt around his waist. The blaster is attached to one side while the pockets appeared stuffed.

Coco, running ahead: I've got them!

Coco continues running ahead, with the Conqueror now turning his attention to Coco- squinting as if to see what he's carrying.

Conqueror: We can't let the boy inferere. Just finish him already!

Brandon Clone turns back to Brandon and rushes over, ready to attack.

Coco, upset: Hey! Leave him alone!

Coco reaches into the utility belt and skids ever so slightly against the street as he comes to a halt. He then throws out two Capture pods out at both the Conqueror and Brandon Clone. The pod impact with the ground and crack open, emitting a small wormhole of some sorts. However, rather than sucking in whoever is close by like it had done before, something appears to be moving out from within the wormhole. Coco reels back in surprise as a Shock Beast and a floating, tentacle creature with a large ghastly mouth emerge from both wormholes. The tentacle creature quickly latches onto Brandon Clone, wrapping its tendrils around his arms and head.

Brandon Clone: GARGH! Get off of me!

The Shock Beast strikes down at the Conqueror who projects an energy shield around him from his staff. The Shock Beast however continues to strike at the barrier.

Conqueror: What is the meaning of this?!

Coco, looking at the Capture pods: That wasn't supposed to happen. Maybe I really shouldn't be messing around with this kind of stuff. (looking ahead now) Brandon, are you alright?!

Brandon, still laying against the street, tries getting up. He lets out a weak nod to Coco. Brandon Clone continues to struggle against the creature as it attempts to consume his head.

Brandon Clone: I am not a snack! GET OFF!

Brandon Clone bursts into flames, causing the creature to let out a whimper and shriek. The Conqueror clicks against his staff and some of his Droids hover over to his location, firing lasers at the Shock Beast. The Shock Beast then becomes distracted by the droids and rushes over to attack them. The Conqueror lowers his force field and takes a breath. He then glances sharply at Coco.

Conqueror: I think it's about time I dealt with you myself, boy!

The Conqueror rushes over to Coco, as does Brandon Clone after dropping the squid-like alien.

Brandon: Coco!

Coco, suddenly surprised and under pressure, quickly reaches for the blaster. He fiddles with it for a brief moment and points it in front of him. He pulls down on the trigger and the end piece, glows brighter and brighter. The Conqueror and Brandon Clone both stop before Coco as the light becomes more intense. Soon a beam is projected from the blaster, forming a larger and more unstable wormhole. This one, unlike the Capture pods, actually does start to drag in the things around it- including the Conqueror and Brandon Clone.

Conqueror: No. NOOOO!

Brandon Clone punches into the street and tries to hang on but the part of the street breaks off- destroying his hand hole, which allows him to get carried off into the wormhole.

Brandon Clone: GAAH!

Brandon weakly coming to his feet is soon picked up by the increasing power of the wormhole. He looks surprised as he is soon carried off and sucked into the wormhole, itself.

Coco, surprised: Brandon!

Coco, himself, then starts to drag across the street as he is slowly pulled up from the ground and towards the wormhole. He, panicking, messes with the settings on the Capture Zone project and- sure enough- the wormhole's intensity drops, causing him to drop back down on the street. The wormhole, also decreases, creating only a small window into the Capture Zone. Coco rubs his head and looks over at the small, floating portal before him. He then stands up, taking the Capture Zone projector back into his hands, and walks over to the portal- looking inside.

Coco: Brandon?

Through the wormhole, and on the other side, lies the Capture Zone: a red void-like space with floating rock platforms and strange dark mist which lurks the atmosphere of this parallel dimension. Silhouettes of alien creatures of various shapes and sizes can be seen skulking in the distance- some floating through the air while others are so large they can be seen from that far away. On a larger and wider rock platform, Brandon can be seen laying there for a moment. Coco's voice, reverberated and a little distorted echoes around the area, causing Brandon's eyes to open up slowly. He groans slightly as he slowly sits up. His clothing is a little torn and he has some scraps and bruises from his earlier fight. Brandon looks around, his surprise growing by the second as he sees the void around him.

Brandon, to himself: So this is it... this is the Capture Zone.

Brandon continues to look around as the roars and cries of different creatures can be heard, echoing across the entire dimension. Brandon shakes slightly as he gets up from the ground. The platform then shakes suddenly, throwing Brandon off guard. He turns around and sees Brandon Clone- as if he had impacted against the platform. He looks up at Brandon, clearly infuriated.

Brandon Clone: Trying to blast me off to space again?! I thought you would have learned your lesson by now!

Brandon tries to run but is confronted by the Conqueror, who stands at the opposite end of the platform.

Conqueror: You can't get rid of me that easily, Brandon.

Brandon steps back and looks between his two enemies, approaching him slowly.

Brandon: There's no point in fighting each other. We're all trapped here!

Brandon Clone: So what? You want to work together? Been there, done that. Besides, I'm already in an alliance. So I'm going to be stuck here with you, I'll be spending by time breaking you in every way possible.

Conqueror: I almost want you to flee away! This void appears endless so just try running away. You may have access to all of your transformations but you'll still get tired. And when you do, we'll be there.

Brandon: Ngh! ...Alright, fine. You want to fight, then come on!

Brandon stands ready. The Conqueror's face tightens as he readies his staff. Brandon Clone's grin widens as he bends his knees, readying to race towards his target. The three of them stand in a stand-still for a moment that seems to linger on longer than it actually is. Then the moment breaks, with Brandon Clone rushing ahead and the Conqueror following his lead in attack. Brandon closes his eyes and, within a flash, transforms into Ro-Warasaur once more. Ro-Warasaur strikes down against the platform, throwing off both the Conqueror and Brandon Clone. Using this oppertunity, Ro-Warasaur rushes over and strikes Brandon Clone down. However, the Conqueror, being more agile than the two big figures, quickly regains his balance. He steps onto a rock formation and bounces off, landing on the shell of Ro-Warasaur. He then slams his staff against the base of Ro-Warasaur's neck, sending an electric energy wave into his skin. Ro-Warasaur lets out a yell as he drops down to the ground. But, before he can even reach the platform, Brandon Clone- now recovering, delivers an uppercut that knocks Ro-Warasaur back. The Conqueror flips off of Ro-Warasaur and sticks the landing, next to his mutated associate. Ro-Warasaur then transforms into Big Boo and floats off. The Conqueror fires his lasers from his staff while Brandon Clone fires some crystalline projectiles from his hands. Big Boo then turns back, charging for them from the air. As he does so, he reaches under his skin and draws out some dark energy clouds which cloud their vision of him. A green flash erupts from the cloud as Cannonbolt emerges from the dark cloud and crashes down between the two of them- knocking them back. The rock formation starts to crack and, underneath the platform, is a darkness. In the darkness, a glowing eye can be seen penetrating the gloom. Cannonbolt can be seen throwing his wide arms at Brandon Clone, as they engage in a fight. Brandon Clone soon gains the upper hand, delivering several strikes to Cannonbolt's wide body. Cannonbolt then flops to the floor and transforms into Heatblast, who gets ready to blast towards Brandon Clone. However, the rock platform start to shake violently until it shatters as a large object bursts from underneath it.

Heatblast: Whoa!

Heatblast projects fire from his hands and turns his head, looking surprised as a shadow overcomes him. A large, dark blue, snake-like aliens with red eyes and gills at its sides rises up from the debris of the rock platform. It looks down at Heatblast and roars out at him.

Heatblast: Looks like our fight woke up the neighbors.

Heatblast blasts away as the snake alien hovers towards him. Heatblast turns his head- seeing the Conqueror sprouting a jetpack of some sort. It appears like one of his droids wrapped around his torso and is allowing him to hover ahead.

Heatblast: Where did you even get that?!

Conqueror: You can not conquer the world without being innovative.

Heatblast: Just seems convenient to me.

Conqueror: Quiet you!

The Conqueror fires lasers from his staff at Heatblast who evades them as he continues projecting his flames and propelling himself ahead. However, Brandon Clone slams down against Heatblast. The two then crash into a nearby floating rock platform- much smaller than the last. The Conqueror stops and looks down as the dust settles. Brandon Clone grabs Heatblast by the neck and holds him up- starting to freeze him.

Brandon Clone: How does it feel to have your own power turned against you?

Heatblast, choking: Kinda cold actually... Urk!

A terrifying roar is then heard loudly from close by as the large snake-like creature hovers towards them with its uncanny mouth open wide. The creature crashes into the rock platform again, breaking it into pieces. As the monstrous alien continues hovering ahead, devouring the debris before it, Heatblast and Brandon Clone hold onto the side of the creature and climb up until they can stand freely. Heatblast then delivers a fiery kick to Brandon Clone, stunning him only momentarily. He then fires a series of fireballs at him only for Brandon Clone to extinguish them with a powerful sonic yelp. Heatblast is then struck from behind by the Conqueror's laser staff. Heatblast then transforms into Aqualad and slips between the legs of Brandon Clone. Brandon Clone looks down, seeing himself stepping in a thin puddle, which is soon pulled out from underneath his feet. Brandon Clone drops down and smacks the water away with a quick arm sweep. Aqualad transforms into Gasadactyl whilst in mid-air and delivers a gas attack to Brandon Clone, clouding his vision. A series of crystalline projectiles fire out from the gas cloud as Gasadactyl battles against the hovering Conqueror, who blocks his attacks with his staff. The Conqueror then shocks Gasadactyl, who falls back onto the side of the alien creature. The Conqueror then making a landing, firing some lasers at Gasadactyl- whom transforms into Slime Shot. The lasers phase through the slime and Brandon Clone emerges from the gas cloud- firing a green laser beam from his eyes which seems to boil up the slime.

Slime Shot: Eeeghh!

Slime Shot ducks out of the way as Brandon Clone continues firing his green eye lasers. One of which, hits the side of the creature, causing it to yell out. The alien creature then turns over, throwing everyone off for a moment. The Conqueror re-engages his jetpack and hovers away while Brandon Clone simply falls through the void before crashing down on another rock platform. Slime Shot glides through the air and lands gently onto a different rock platform, one much more higher up than Brandon Clone. He then transforms back into Brandon again.

Brandon then looks over the edge and sees Brandon Clone recovering from the attack. He looks up at Brandon and growls to himself. Brandon smirks and looks ahead confidently as the Conqueror lands on a floating rock platform across from him. The Conqueror grunts as he swings his staff before slamming it against the platform lightly.

Brandon: It's over, Conqueror. We can keep on fighting but I'll get the upper hand eventually.

Conqueror: You place your confidence in childish luck. I'm actually surprised you even lasted this long. But it looks as if your luck is about to change.

Brandon: What do you mean by that?

Conqueror: Hmph.

The Conqueror swings his staff into a firing position and fires an energy beam- after quickly adjusting the staff- at the wormhole for a brief moment. He then ceases, bringing the staff back down to the platform.

Brandon: What did you just do?!

Conqueror: I stabilized the wormhole with a unique energy signature.

Brandon: W-Why?

The Conqueror only stares at Brandon as his response. However, a voice- now more clear to hear- is heard coming from the other side of the wormhole.

Coco: Brandon? Is that you?

The Conqueror's gaze then shifts roughly over to Coco, who appears in the wormhole. Brandon turns and sees Coco in the wormhole as well.

Brandon: Coco!

Coco: Brandon, what's going on? Where are you?

Brandon: I'm uh- sort of in the Capture Zone, man. You know that weird parallel dimension inside of the pods.

Coco: There must be a ton of dangerous creatures in there.

Brandon: Yeah... and I'm stuck here with two of the most dangerous ones.

Brandon glances back at the Conqueror.

Conqueror: (grunts) Enough chit-chat. Now listen here, boy, I have a proposal to make.

Coco: Why should I listen to you, Conqueror?

Conqueror: Because your friend's life hangs in the balance. Now, are you listening? ...Good.

The Conqueror adjusts his feet as he turns ever so slightly to get a better look at Coco from where he is.

Conqueror: I know the means as to which you can get us out from this blasted realm. Once you commit to your role on your side of the portal, I will use my staff to emit a frequency that'll stabilize it long enough for us to get to the other side.

Coco: Us? You mean-

Conqueror: Yes. I will be joining your friend and will make my escape from this- what was it- Capture Zone? Yes... this horrid place.

Coco: But you'll be here.

Conqueror: I promise no harm will come to your friend if you do as I ask. All I wish is to escape from this parallel dimension, as you put it.

Brandon: Don't do it, Coco! It's not worth it.

Conqueror: The choice is yours, child, not his. Think about it. Do you really want to leave your good friend behind in a place like this... with us?

Coco: I'm sorry, Brandon, but I can't just leave you there. (to the Conqueror) So, what do I do?

Conqueror: First, stand back. You'll need to adjust the settings on that projector of yours. Whatever you had done to reduce the gravitational thrust of the wormhole, you'll need to do the opposite in order to increase the ratio of the portal. That should give us enough space to get through. You need to stand back though so you won't get the projector drawn in.

Coco: Projector? What about me?

Conqueror: I couldn't care less about what happens to you. Just do as I say.

Coco mutters something under his breath before walking away from the portal.

Brandon: So, that's it, huh? You just want to escape and run away?

Conqueror: Of course not. You're smarter than I give you credit for so use that brain of yours. I have been through so much that I won't stop now. I can't. Once we're on the other side of that portal, you friend will be vulnerable and I will use that opportunity to make him suffer. Even if you best me again, I know where he lives. And it won't take me long to find out where you live either. The battle may be won by you but the war will continue and I will always return for the power you so recklessly wield!

Brandon takes this in, obviously taken a back by this sudden outburst. He then looks down, eyes shifting back and forth as if considering everything the Conqueror had just told him.

Conqueror: So... do you really want to continue this little charade where you convince yourself that you're actually winning? Or do you want to end this now and save us all some time? Surrender the Omnitrix to me. Now. And your friend's life will be spared.

Brandon: ...Okay. Just- don't hurt him anymore.

Brandon extends his arm and looks down in defeat. Brandon Clone, projecting himself upwards with flames- lands behind Brandon on the rock platform. He then grabs Brandon's arm and holds it steady. The Conqueror's mouth curves ever so slightly- almost like he's smiling. He then hovers over to the same platform and readies his staff. He places the tip at the center of the Omnitrix.

Conqueror: I don't have the proper equipment to extract your rod from within but I can extract the genetic power from within that.

The Conqueror presses against the Omnitrix which throws off some major feedback. The Conqueror, however, keeps pressing against it. The Omnitrix starts sparking up and creates a strain on Brandon, who drops down to his knees, yelling and wincing in pain. The Omnitrix then starts to drain as an orb of genetic power phases out from the watch around Brandon's wrist. The Conqueror uses the edge of his staff to solidify the orb and stabilize it. He looks ahead at the floating orb with a fascination flaring up in his eyes.

Conqueror: Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Brandon Clone: That's the genetic power within the Omnitrix?

Conqueror: Yes. Without it, it's simply a device with no function. And in our hands, we will finally have the powers of all of his transformations and more with just the snap of our fingers. Any ability within the grasp of our hands. With this power, I can even repair your mutated state. Change your genetics into the person that you want to be.

Brandon Clone, surprised: You... You can?

Brandon: O-Or he'll just betray you.

Brandon Clone: You don't get to talk! It's over for you... and it looks like things are just starting for me.

Brandon Clone reaches for the orb but the Conqueror hauls it away from him.

Conqueror: No! We can't risk losing this power because we got greedy. Without the proper equipment, I can not harness this rare power. Not without losing everything... including my will. And I am not that desperate. Nor will I ever be once I assimilate this power.

Coco, returning the portal: Okay, I adjusted the settings. Is everything okay down there?

Conqueror: Everything is fine. Activate the projector and get on with it already. We are eager to escape this place already.

Coco: Okay, okay. I'm doing it.

Brandon: Coco...

Coco: Brandon? What's going on down there?

Conqueror: Ignore him. Just open the portal already!

Brandon: Coco, don't open the portal. It's not worth it. If they get out, they get my power. We won't be able to stop them.

Coco: But what about you? You might be a bit of idiot sometimes but you're still my friend. My best friend. What type of person would I be if I just left you stranded in there with your worst enemies?

Brandon: This is about being my friend. This about being a hero. Think about the world, Coco.

Conqueror: Enough of this. Open that portal, NOW! Otherwise, I end him right here- right now!

The Conqueror points the bottom of his staff against the back of Brandon's head. Coco looks down, clearly distraught. He looks away and lets out a sigh.

Coco: I'm sorry, Brandon. I guess I'm not much a hero after all.

Brandon looks down, as if internally saddened. As if, he had just lost everything.

Coco: Brandon.

He looks up, as if hearing something hopeful. His gaze meets with Coco, who looks at him through the wormhole.

Coco: I can't be the hero here but that doesn't mean you can't be either.

Brandon: But I don't have Master Control anymore. I don't even have access to my aliens!

Coco: I don't know what to tell you, man. I just- You've taught me so many things and you've been there for me through this whole thing. So now I'm here for you. You may have just gotten Master Control but you've always been a hero.

The last word, "Hero", lingers through Brandon's mind as he looks down in thought. The Conqueror looks away from Brandon and up towards Coco, through the wormhole.

Conqueror: I'm losing my patience.

Coco sighs and turns away from the portal. Coco fires up the Capture Zone projector once again and it causes the portal to slowly grow more intense. The Conqueror then fires his stabilizing beam from his staff which holds the portal steady. Brandon then looks around. He sees some smaller pieces of rock, that have been broken up before, floating towards the portal- most likely due to the increasing gravitational pull. He then looks ahead seeing Brandon Clone securing the orb while the Conqueror secures the portal. Brandon then works up the strength to get up from the ground. He then looks around once more, finally taking in his surroundings. He then closes his eyes and looks up with a new found confidence. He then takes off, running ahead. Brandon leaps from the rock and into the void, letting out a yell as he starts to plummet. He then touches down on a passing piece of debris and kicks off. He floats ahead and steps onto the next rock and then next- using them as a path.

Brandon Clone: What was that?

Conqueror: Nevermind him! We're running out of time here. Pass me the orb!

Brandon Clone then passes the genetic orb over to the Conqueror. However, Brandon kicks off from one of the floating stones and floats overhead of Brandon Clone, who slowly looks up in surprise. Brandon then grabs the orb himself. Upon touching the orb, it releases a wave of energy which knocks the three of them back. Nevertheless, Brandon remains holding onto the orb as it propels him towards the widening portal. Coco, still holding the Capture Zone projector, looks more pleased as Brandon approaches. Incidentally, the Capture Zone projector starts to spark up and the portal begins to deminish.

Coco: No, no, no! (turning quickly over the portal) Brandon, quick, the portal!

Brandon turns his head, seeing the portal start to close. He then holds the orb with one hand which starts to burn up from holding onto such raw power. He then draws out his arm, revealing the drained Omnitrix. Just as he's about to place the orb into the Omnitrix, his leg is grabbed from below. He looks down seeing the Conqueror.

Conqueror: Don't do this! You can't do this! You won't beat me again!

Brandon: It's like you said. I'm smarter than you give me credit for.

Brandon then slams the orb against the Omnitrix.

Conqueror: NO!

The feedback released from the orb is enough to knock the Conqueror off of Brandon's leg- causing him to fall back and crash into Brandon Clone. A green flash then overcomes Brandon. He spins around and slowly raises up his arm. The Omnitrix then glows bright green again as it regains its power. The central column rises on its own and Brandon, now in the act of falling, slams it down with his free hand. He undergoes a transformation sequence. His skin begins to charcoal around his hand as the Omnitrix merges into his arm. The changes to his hand spread up his arm and across his body until he has red-ish, hard-like skin which then starts to crack revealing hot, yellow substances in his left arm and cold, blue substances in his right arm. Both substances equally balanced in the center of the face plate now on his chest or in the middle. His head is then devoured in a flame leaving behind only his red-ish, hard skinned cranium and lower jaw as the flame is instantly frozen over. Within a flash, Freezefire erupts and blasts himself ahead with flames whilst leaving behind an icy trail. As the portal starts to close in on itself, Freezefire boosts himself ahead until he shoots himself through the portal. Just as the portal finally closes for good, the Conqueror extends his hand outwards as he hovers towards the closing wormhole.

Conqueror: NOOO-

His cries are then interrupted as the portal diminishes. Freezefire then crashes against the street before timing out and transforming back into Brandon. Brandon lays against the street for a moment as Coco rushes over to him.

Coco: Brandon! Brandon, are you okay?! Come on, buddy, speak to me.

Brandon coughs and leans up slightly as his eyes open.

Brandon: Oh hey, what'd I miss?

Coco lets out a dry chuckle as he sighs in relief.

Coco: Thought I lost 'ya there for moment.

Brandon: Nah. You couldn't get rid of me even if you wanted to.

Coco helps Brandon up from the street. The two then look in the direction where the portal was, except it's no longer there anymore. Brandon sighs.

Brandon: Well, at least, that's taken care of.

Coco: What do you think will happen to them?

Brandon: They're stuck there. At least, until I get this thing working again.

Brandon picks up the Capture Zone projector from the ground which sparks up a bit. He's careful when grabbing it though.

Coco: I mean, would you really let them out?

Brandon: Good point...

Coco: But hey, that just means we won't have to deal with your clone or even the Conqueror anymore.

Brandon: Still. There are tons of dangers out there and the world could always use heroes like us.

Coco: You mean, heroes like you.

Brandon: Hey, you saved me from the Capture Zone. I think you deserve at least some credit.

Coco: Yeah... maybe you're right. And you got your powers back.

Brandon looks over at the Omnitrix.

Brandon: Looks like it. And with Master Control, I can become an even greater hero.

Brandon closes eyes in concentration but nothing seems to happen. He then opens one eye and looks at Coco.

Brandon: Am I an alien yet?

Coco: Heh, no but if you keep doing that your skin might turn red like one of them.

Brandon: I don't get it. Why isn't Master Control working anymore?

Coco: Maybe by taking the power of the Omnitrix, it reset itself. So now you don't have access to Master Control anymore.

Brandon: That... actually makes sense.

Coco: It doesn't take rocket science. Or whatever science you use on that thing.

Brandon: But that just means I won't be the better hero that I want to be.

Coco puts a hand on Brandon's shoulder.

Coco: I think what you did back there in the Capture Zone was enough to make you a greater hero. I mean you defeated two of your greatest enemies and escaped from a parallel dimension. How many people do you know can do something so awesome?

Brandon: Alright, alright. I'm awesome, you're awesome. There, we good?

Coco: Totally. So now what?

Brandon: Now let's see what other crazy adventures we can get ourselves into. But first- uh- I'm gonna need to rest... like for a whole week.

Coco lets out a laugh as he punches Brandon's shoulder. Brandon lets out a groan as he holds his shoulder.

Brandon: Aw man...

Trivia

 * This is the first episode in Brandon 10 where different villains work together against Brandon.
 * This is also the first time Brandon has ever unlocked Master Control of the Omnitrix.
 * With the beginning of the episode left so ambiguously, the rebooted version of the episode had considered different ways for the Conqueror to make his return and how that connected to working with Brandon Clone; one of those possibilities even included the Conqueror being teleported into space.
 * In the original episode, Brandon gives up his power in order to save Coco; only later getting it back after escaping the Capture Zone with him. However, in the rebooted version of the episode, The Conqueror uses Brandon to bargain with Coco for his own escape out of the Capture Zone. With Coco refusing to trap Brandon in the Capture Zone, The Conqueror- now having a way to Coco- also threatens his life in order to get Brandon to give up his power. When Brandon does give up his power, it is the genetic essence from within the Omnitrix rather than the Omnitrix, itself, in a form that makes it easily obtainable; making it easy for Brandon to gain the power of the Omnitrix once again.
 * The red theme for Overflow Fest helped to set the atmosphere for the Capture Zone and Conqueror scenes.
 * Upgrade was planned on being used by Coco to modify the Capture Zone projector but that was cut from the episode in order to save time.
 * This episode features the most aliens used in Brandon 10 yet.
