Space Travel

Space Travel is the fourth episode of Ben 10: Unlocked.

Story
Robert was stargazing at the top of Ben's HQ when Ben and Drake spotted him. Then a spaceship appeared and requested Ben to enter. At first, they did not trust the ship, but Ben agreed to enter as the alien said that he comes in peace.

The alien introduced himself as Natep, a Galvan who was one of the associates of Azmuth. Natep told a story to Ben regarding the Omnitrix.

Natep told Ben that the reason why Azmuth made the Omnitrix was because he was interested at the time in alien genetics, and wanted to construct a machine that could reconstruct a whole alien from a single strand of DNA. Then he realized that miniaturization was suitable for a machine, so that he could easily carry it to anywhere, although hypercubes were available.

When Azmuth finished the device, he had a lot of trouble with the Omnitrix, especially regarding alien DNA. Azmuth never enjoyed getting alien DNA excepton very exotic places such as the Forge of Creation, so most of the DNA from the Codon Stream were taken by his other associates, Myaxx, Natep himself and Orelis, the DNA finder. After makingthe Omnitrix, Azmuth said to himself never to make another one again. Because of this, Natep tried to get blueprints for the Omnitrix from Azmuth to create his own. Although very reluctantly, Azmuth agreed to this.

Then Albedo wanted to have an Omnitrix of his own and requested one from Azmuth, which he declined. Albedo, however, threatened him to do an Omnitrix or he will be killed. Azmuth made one according to Albedo's requirements, and was called the Ultimatrix, although Azmuth did not complete it and said that "you complete it yourself if you really want it". And so Albedo completed it himself. Albedo at the time was interested not only in genetics but also in mutation, forcing Azmuth to include an ability of the Ultimatrix to transform an alien into its more powerful Ultimate form.

The reason why Natep requested Ben to join him and stay at the planet Arret was to investigate upon the Omnitrix Blueprint Leak (or OBL). After installing the blueprints to the computer, Natep accidentally sent it to the intergalactic Internet connection. Though encrypted, smart aliens could decode the encryption and unlock the blueprints. And because of this, Natep suspected that the aliens who were able to create such Omnitrixes would sell it publicly, and asked Ben to stop them.
