Andreas’ Fault

&nbsp Original Airdate

June 4, 2010 This is the 7th episode of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien.

Plot
Local alien con artist, Argit is going to Forever Knights' castles offering "insurance", but when they refuse, the castle crumbles down to nothing and Argit leaves.

Meanwhile, at Mr. Smoothy, Ben is celebrating his hero status and Ben 10 fans (or as he calls "Benatics") come to meet their favorite hero and get autographs from him with cups of his various aliens. But suddenly, the Forever Knights crash in and take one of the smoothy machines. Ben tries to stop them as Spidermonkey, but his big ego and fans block him from doing so. Ben and his team go to Jimmy Jones for help and reveals that the Forever Knights have also stole pizzas and burritos, but they didn't steal any money from the places they stole the food from. They go to a Forever Knights castle (one of the Knights is friends with Jimmy and he was in that particular castle when the castle was falling apart in the background) to investigate, but find it destroyed.

They sneak into another castle in Ben's car (much to Kevin's annoyance, as he was in the back seat) using Jetray and find that Argit is being leader of the Forever Knights there and steals junk food just to amuse him. If the castles he go to refuse to let him rule their castles, he will use his new friend Andreas to destroy the castle. Andreas is also one of Aggregor's victims. Ben then scans Andreas's DNA and gains a new form. He gives Kevin money as payment for the money he owes him. Kevin then says that he loves money more than anything else in the wold, and Gwen gets mad at him for the remainder of the episode. Argit tells Andreas that Ben and his team are friends but then a Forever Knight intelligence officer named Sir Dagonet comes in and turns Argit's Forever Knight garrison against Ben and his friends.

He puts Argit and the others into a dungeon after Argit cowardly tries to save himself by telling Dagonet that Ben and team were forcing him to pretend to be the leader of the Forever Knights. However, Andreas is to be executed by Dagonet and his death squad for being an alien. Argit convinces Ben and his friends to break him out in order to save Andreas. Ben uses Goop to free himself and his friends, then goes to save Andreas. Ben fights the Forever Knights as Swampfire while Argit and the others save Andreas. But Daganot turns the weapon he was using to kill Andreas into a self-destruct bomb to kill Ben and the others. Argit convinces Andreas to absorb the quake of the bomb and leave, thinking Andreas sacrificed his life to save his friends. They leave but then Aggregor shows up and finds Andreas badly injured. He heals him and takes him to his ship, then puts him in a stasis pod next to Bivalvan, Galapagus, and P'andor. Now all that's left is Ra'ad and then he says "the fun can begin".

Trivia

 * This episodes name is based on the San Andreas Fault in California.
 * At the end of the episode. Aggregor said 4 down, 1 to go, which is Ra'ad. In Aggregor's ship, after he puts Andreas in his cell, you can see Bivalvan, Galapagus, and P'andor in their cells (Take notice to P'andor hands, which are no longer fused together).
 * This is the first episode that doesn't include any of Ben's Ultimate forms when catching one of Agreggor's victims.
 * This episode is the third time Alien X is seen but not used. The first was in The Final Battle: Part 1, where he is seen on Albedo using the Ultimatrix, and the second was in Escape From Aggregor, where his image is seen (only miscolored as green)
 * This is the first time that they show the inside of Mr. Smoothy.
 * One of Ben's fans comments that the Alien X smoothy was a disappointment after all the hype, being a shout out to the let down of Alien X'sinitial appearance.
 * It appears that Aggregor had a tracking device on Andreas and possibly on all the escaped aliens.
 * This is the first episode where Ben did not transform into Big Chill since the second episode Duped.
 * In the commercials for this episode it shows the Forever Knights using blue beams but in the show it shows red.
 * Craft of War is probably a reference to the game, World of Warcraft.
 * Andreas is the only one of the five aliens that Ben really hasn't fought, thus not having a reason to turn into an Ultimate form, although Kevin fought Andreas.
 * Kevin was extremely mad at Argit for having him betraying Andreas as he lost control a while and probably he mostly understood how it felt because he's been through it.
 * This is the second episode that shows blood (the first is from Magister Labrid in Ben 10 Returns), as when Aggregor finds Andreas under the castle's rubble, he is bleeding a black liquid similar to oil. He has a broken ear and says " it hurts" then Aggregor tells him "I'll make you all better".
 * Kevin, Gwen , Argit , and Ben are in a cell while Argit tells them what would have happend if they had not interuped. Kevin says " I think i still have one of your quills in my butt".
