Part I[]
[We open with a closeup of Ben Tennyson's face. He's moving at great speeds on a desolate planet.]
We pan out to see Ben is in his Plumber suit, helmet on and all, with Azmuth perched atop his left shoulder. Ben is carefully riding his hoverboard, "Tetrax Shard" etched into its sole, weaving through tall, rocky structures trying his best to stay upright so as to not drop Azmuth.
Ben looks ahead to find a dark and deep hole circling the tall, rocky spire of a building containing Azmuth's lab.
As Ben approaches the hole, the hoverboard begins to dip inside. Unable to keep control, a panicking Ben grabs Azmuth and throws him safely to the other side. Ben then leaps off the hoverboard, catching the very edge of the surface. Azmuth approaches him.
He realizes the edge and as he plummets to the darkness, the bright green flash of a transformation is seen. A small glob of green goo is sent out of the abyss, landing right in front of Azmuth near the ledge. Slithering out of the hole up a 9-degree angle are several more globs of goo, accumulating at the source piece. They all come together to form the shape of Alkamine's body, and soon, his skin and armor arrives and covers him. The last piece of the puzzle is the Omnitrix symbol, which slips out of Alkamine's skin out onto his long chin.
Ben
Alkamine's left cheek gel sac wiggles and jumps onto the ground before Azmuth, who simply awkwardly stares at it upon arrival.
The gel sac slugs its way back to Alkamine and up his body, reprising its place on his cheek, as Alkamine commences a slow trek behind Azmuth to the entrance of his old lab building. We transition to the dark interior of the diminutive genius's former base of operations minutesl ater, as Azmuth and Alkamine are just entering the room, the Omnitrix shining a bright light in the foyer.
Azmuth squints at Alkamine as he approaches a Florauna on the wall right of the entrance. He touches his hand to it cautiously then turns back to Azmuth.
An overwhelming shadow grows over Alkamine as he turns back to the Florauna. It has grown to ceiling height. It sends a sharp claw down at Alkamine, who rolls out of the way to the center of the room. The Florauna spreads life to the others by touching one next to him, who then passes it to the next, and so on.
Several Florauna lunge at Alkamine, but as he backs away, he steps on the vine-like leg of one lying on the floor, bringing to life one on the left wall and subsequently every other near it.
A single Florauna grabs Alkamine by the arms, holding him back as another launches a large, black explosive seed at him.
[As the explosive nails Alkamine, the focus is immediately swapped. We are looking at Wildvine keeping a tight grip on the familiar villain Darkstar at night in front of a just-robbed jewelry store (by guess who). As Darkstar struggles to escape from Wildvine's captivity, Wildvine throws one of his seeds at him, at which Darkstar blasts after it makes only a brief trip from his hand to Darkstar. The proximity to Wildvine's head leaves him hurt, retracting his arms and unfortunately dropping Darkstar.]
His hand ceases glowing and he raises the other to his ear.
He lowers his hand.
Darkstar turns away from the fight and rushes down the alleyway behind him, at the end of which is a tall brick wall. As if by magic, Darkstar fazes through it like nothing. Wildvine soon comes to and attempts to follow him, but when he runs up to the wall, he finds no way through. In the meantime, a femininely-figured alien with purple armor and pink skin—including the bulging pink surface of her head—appears in the middle of the street, just before the alleyway. She raises her hand out, and we watch as a pink glow follows the direction of her hand. A nearby car can be heard screeching to a stop.
The glow on the alien's hands hits a brick, which she quickly telekinetically moves it, thrusting it right at Wildvine's head, still holding it up afterward in preparation of a follow-up. As Wildvine rubs his head and turns to the brick, he raises his lone eye.
The brick is flung straight at his face again, losing its glow after Wildvine catches it in his hand before it hits.
He turns as he hears the footsteps of the telekinetic alien up the alleyway.
The alien simply nods.
The alien becomes bored with Wildvine's speech and swiftly throws her hand out, directing at more loose bricks on the right wall of the alley. She throws all of them at once at him, with Wildvine's lines of defense being catching as many as possible then evading their target location by running toward the alien up the alley. While the bricks try to follow Wildvine, as he edges close to their controller, she has no hope but to let them free, only forgetting that Wildvine had caught one with each hand except his fore feet. Wildvine launches each of these at the mysterious female E.T., and after standing absolutely still, she begins to retreat to the street. With the bricks finally encroaching, she turns her head to them and extends her hand, catching every one in the air then dropping them after they've lost velocity.
The alien nods again.
He throws one of his legs at the alien with intentions of catching her, but she backflips away. Unfortunately for her, however, Wildvine's elasticity allows him to still catch her as she's flipping.
The female's chuckling is heard as she raises her unconstrained hand to point at an abandoned car on the road. She remotely grabs it quickly and has it hanging over the legs of Wildvine that are holding her in seconds.
The E.T. grins and quickly accepts the offer, not dropping but instead thrusting the car nose-first into the vine faster than Wildvine is able to retract it. It attacks him, a slight screech from the pain ensuing as the opponent creeps around the side of the car to lean on it and watch as Wildvine struggles to remove his vine. A single grin more, and she takes a sharp stick from off the alley floor. She cuts the vine off easily with it, leaving quickly decaying remains under the car just now responding to gravity as it falls forward onto the rest of the old vine. In the meantime, Wildvine regrows his detached leg with which he attaches to a nearby street pole and swings around, putting the enemy down the inescapable alley while he keeps himself in the open space. When he looks to her again, she's distracted, starting down at the dead end brick wall.
He launches a seed at the distracted girl, but just as she hears it land before her, she turns her head back to the fight. She grabs the bomb in her hand, which rather than exploding right then and there, erupts, releasing a great amount of green gas that rapidly spreads across the area.
He steps forward into the gas, but just before entering it, he hears the enemy's footsteps on the other side becoming quieter and more distant. Wildvine dashes for the other side, where the alien is missing in action entirely.
He rushes up to the wall and visually analyzes it, soon looking to the very top of it. He stretches his feet so that he can match its height and more. He looks beyond the wall, finding just several alien-free rooftops.
[We move forward a day. As Darkstar holds up precisely the same jeweler as the day before, Ben's titanium alien arrives to block the door. Darkstar approaches him, a bag of bills and jewelry alike in his hand.]
He smacks Darkstar in the face faster than he can think, grabbing the bag of riches and returning them to the cashier cowering under the counter.
He drops them on the counter, with the cashier afraid to get back up. He then turns around just as a blast is heard, revealing a golden beam shot by Darkstar. The titanium alien makes a dive behind the cash register for cover, the discharge from Darkstar unfortunately nailing midway, sending him through the side wall out onto the dead end alley again.
Before the man in titanium manages to cock his head even partially, he's being thrown through the hole in the jeweler and right out into a small, closed grocer next door. As the titanium alien shakes himself up, Darkstar makes a run for it with his loot through the hole he'd cut out to the alley. As the titanium alien tries to get up for the chase, he sees the source of the female female voice, a blue-skinned Tetramand warrior clad in uniform akin to Tini's, and she's dashing straight for him with her left set of fists revved up.
He attempts to jump back up onto his feet, but within a second the Tetramand is at him, bashing with her right set of arms the titanium transformation through the counter he's laying on straight to the ground. The next batch of attacks arrive in flashes, as if Ben had blacked out between each when in reality, each blink brought about a new level of pain. First, he's being swung across the top of an ice cream freezer, next being used to break through a shelf of freshly-stocked inventory, then to bash through several soda and adult beverage machines' glass barriers. Worse things happen in the next minutes, resulting in lasting effects to the alien's titanium armor. At some point, however, the pain becomes irrelevant as he truly does black out. When he awakens, at least five minutes later, the Tetramand drops him and makes a run for it via the holes in both the grocery and jewelry stores. Before knocking off for a more extended period of time, he sees a bright red flash and speaks.
[Regrettably, his gut feeling was a long ways from displaced. The following night, Darkstar utilized a freshly-purchased alien pistol to rob another jeweler just down the road. When and where we join the robbery, a still-injured Combustiball attempts to block Darkstar from entering the alleyway, only to find a female Thep Khufan pushing out of the ground, and reaching feats no other Khufan could even fathom by sending him soaring into the sky with a single punch from directly underneath him.]
As he looks down, he notices the shrinking black dot that is Darkstar, running up to the brick wall and inevitably fazing through it again. To game the system and lose all velocity, Combustiball reverts to human then quickly back to Combustiball. He begins to plummet to the ground, rolling up into a yo-yo and revving straight to the alleyway. As the Thep Khufan notices the falling star, she dashes for the same brick wall. Noticing this, Combustiball picks up speed by turning around and blasting an extreme amount of fire. Before he's able to face back forward, he touches down in the alley, producing a hole that's as wide as the alley on all sides and deeper than Combustiball is tall. Accompanying the rupture is the discharge of a flame-encompassed explosion. Windows of buildings all around the area are shattered, and while unbeknownst to Combustiball, the brick wall flashes away for just a split second, as if it were a disrupted hologram. As Combustiball exits the hole and finds the Thep Khufan and Darkstar missing yet again, he begins mumbling angrily under his breath. He approaches his car across the street, the windows of which were broken by the blast. Reaching the car, Combustiball reverts to human, a noticeable cast on both his hands as well as a few band-aids on his face as a result of the battle the night prior.
[As Ben removes the key from his pocket, he notices everything around him change appearance. In a second, holding his key out, he finds himself within the top level room of Azmuth's Galvan Prime headquarters.]
Ben flips around from his initial angle facing the entrance door, looking at Azmuth standing on top of his computer.
Ben recalls the three warriors that all fit Azmuth's description that he'd fought tonight and the two before.
He flashes into the room.
Ben is cut off by a beam sending him away.
(Throwing his hand as he speaks,.
Someone else flashes into the room, someone of Azmuth's stature who appears right before him with a stronger-than-steel cane.
Part II[]
[We open with Ben just having returned to Earth before the DX Mark 10. As he stands before it and unlocks the driver-side door, he recalls each of the three female accomplices Darkstar. As he lines that up in his head, he finds a parallel -- like him when he used the prototype Omnitrix as a kid, each had yellow eyes. Though they had no visible Omnitrix symbol, they were each female, and their motives were one in the same. Ben recalls the 10 minute rule still being active and notices that each adversary had to leave the battle rather abruptly after a seemingly short lapse. As he enters the car, he makes something clear to himself.]
[We hear the car roar on, then shift to a side view of the DX Mark 10 driving through the center of Downtown Bellwood. As we pass it, make note of the iconic logo of Billions Tower before the building. We continue to follow Ben, and soon take to within his car where a ringing tone is heard just before whomever Ben is contacting picks up.]
[We pick up with a side view close-up of the front of the DX Mark 10 as it screeches into a parking space. In the next frame, we find Chelsey exiting the Nasty Burger and taking a seat outside. In the background, we see Ben heading to the Nasty Burger entrance but stopping as he sees Chelsey. He rushes up to her as she begins to eat a burger.]
When Chelsey flips around, her sizable multi-decker burger is already reduced to a single remaining bite. While Chelsey finishes up, waving to Ben from her seat, the familiar character Mercedes Barnes appears before Ben.
The two proceed over to Chelsey's table and take seats opposite her.
The others gasp.
She leans in to Mercedes.
Mercedes is heard puffing in the background.''
Chelsey nods in response. As her eyes flare up and turn white with pink outlines, Ben incurs a glow around his body.
Five seconds later, Chelsey finds what she needs.
[We transition to Ben, a backpack-wearing Mercedes, and a glowing-eyed Chelsey Tennyson, walking up to the dead end near the still broken-walled and -windowed jewelry store from earlier. Chelsey walks up to the brick wall, and like it was nothing, continues walking right through it. Before long, Ben and Mercedes call to her from the alleyway, unsure of how Chelsey had accomplished her intangible feat.]
Ben raises a brow.
Chelsey's previously halted footsteps are heard changing direction as they head back toward Ben and Mercedes. She seamlessly walks through the brick wall and stops no more than a few inches apart from the side-by-side Ben and Mercedes.
Raising a brow, Chelsey turns around, also lowering her Anodite-driven glowing eyes. She only now sights the towering brick wall protecting what lie behind.
Ben steps forward and through the brick wall, revealing the same open yard as described by Chelsey. From inside, the brick wall behind him is invisible, with Chelsey and Mercedes easily visible. He reaches outside and grabs Mercedes, pulling her in. She, too, marvels at her surroundings as Chelsey re-enters the protected area.
Appearing before our eyes and his are images of the past showing the exterior of the Los Soledad military base.
The image changes to the interior, where DNAliens, tall buildings, and the completed arch gateway to Earth are visible.
He turns to Chelsey.
Chelsey smiles and nods, her eyes reigniting. She leads Ben and Mercedes to the oversized, plane hangar-like door protecting an abandoned factory. She stops just in front of it her, eyes losing their glow.
We focus in on Mercedes' backpack, which is revealed to be Ship as he makes his Galvanic Mechamorph skin pattern visible and begins poking his head out to incessantly bark using his name. He soon grows to create a tight Mechamorph suit akin to that which Julie normally utilized. He forcefully spins her around to grab the attacking fists of a sneaking Darkstar.
We key in on Ben's mouth, which begins to tremble, then his eyebrows which curve instantly to produce an angered expression. In an instant he is the titanium alien, bashing Darkstar across the open courtyard.
The titanium alien immediately reverts to human.
Darkstar begins to look to Mercedes, whose eyes bulge out in astonishment as everyone else turns to look at her as well. Ben and Chelsey nearly question everything, before a female member of Streak's kind—with a unique black-and-white-only color scheme—appears behind Mercedes, a knife in the alien's hand being carefully held just before Mercedes' neck.
Part III[]
[We resume with an oddly-colored female of Streak's species holding a knife just before Mercedes' throat. When Chelsey moves even a muscle, the knife expands to a large sharp-tipped and spiked sword. When the Vigitelican, the colloquial name for Chronospect's version of the "Amevons," smiles wide, Darkstar says something.]
Darkstar immediately blasts Chelsey out as the Vigitelican slits Mercedes' neck, dropping her to the ground. Both she and Darkstar look to Ben, prepping their attacks. As Darkstar fires, Ben swiftly transforms into Brawnoceros, pushing his iron stomach out and reflecting Darkstar's golden ray right back at him. Darkstar keels over, falling into unconsciousness and relieving his helmet to reveal his unwarped head. As Brawnoceros cheers himself on, he recalls the enemy Vigitelican coming after him that still hadn't attacked. When he looks, she's gone, but he hears a familiar portal-opening sound. He rushes over to the side of the factory, where another alleyway entrance is where a portal lay open being run up to. Brawnoceros' long arms come in handy to grab for the Vigitelican's tail. She flips her head around, showing that her entire body, as opposed to Streak, is made up of alternating black and white colors—save for her yellow eyes. She transforms into a previously unseen alien, made up of small, 3D plus (+) symbols of different colors from the rainbow. Every single plus symbol, previously in a disconnected swarm, disperses into the air, each charging to gray and fading into invisibility as they attempt ot enter the self-closed portal. Brawnoceros manages to grab just a single one of the plusses in his hand as the rest escape. He makes a quick stomping return to Chelsey, who's still downed, and reverts to human.
The Assault Omnitrix beeps and begins to glow.
The Omnitrix ceases glowing.
The Omnitrix comes to life again.
The Omnitrix's hourglass becomes yellow and lets out a small charge of electricity at Chelsey. Her hair partially stands up for a moment before falling as she jumps onto her feet.
He opens his hand, revealing one of the plusses he caught.
The plus begins to fly like a butterfly, flapping either end of its plus-like wings, but Ben catches it.
Albeit skeptical, Ben obeys. The plus immediately tries to make a break for it, but Chelsey captures it in a mana bubble protected by hexagonal barriers all around.
Transforms into Frisbit.
Ben
He steps over to Mercedes and lays a hand on her body.
Another beep.
Frisbit stands up.
Frisbit removes his frisbee from his back and drops it on the ground as he leaps into the air, perfectly landing on its center when he falls.
Chelsey sighs, and as skeptically as the enemy-holding Ben opened his hand, removes her phone from her pocket and lobs it to Frisbit. He gives it a quick visual analysis by turning it over a bit and looking at all sides.
Tosses the phone back to Chelsey.
Chelsey gets on the frisbee without any other word, Frisbit adjusting his position to allow her on.
[The search resumes when they believe they've cornered "Omnigirl"...at Ben's house. When they step inside, even Chelsey's powers are no match for the force that draws the alien plus piece to another part of the house.]
Chelsey immediately releases her grip, the barriers breaking first followed by the fading of the main bubble. Chelsey and Frisbit follow the plus as it twirls its way to Ben's bedroom, slipping into the tight key hole.
We hear the Omnitrix time out on the other side of the sealed door, then an odd clanging of metals.
As he prepares to conclude the door unlocking with the removal of his key, the lock changes shape, snapping the key in half.
The door continues to upgrade its lock system, expanding with the addition of at least a dozen new locks spanning the height of the door with advanced security.
Frisbit raises a portion of his single, large eye to simulate a brow raising, but moves out of the way regardless as Chelsey takes his place. She begins to fire straight beams of mana at each lock, breaking and unlocking them.
'A black-armored fist busts through the wall and pounds Chelsey in the stomach. She falls to her knees with Frisbit coming to her aid and the fist retracting into Ben's room. She quickly gets back up to her feet, her eyes aglow.
Before he even finishes speaking, she rips the door off its locks and hinges and slams it forward. Once it enters the room, it's rotate to push "Omnigirl" into the wall where the TV is—or was, now. As Frisbit runs in straight to the open window, Chelsey takes to the detached door. With her mind she pulls it off the wall hoping to find the black armor-clad Alphaline Omnitrix wearer underneath, but just as she finds nothing, Frisbit says something.
Frisbit jumps out the window and transforms into XLR8 to chase down on-foot Omnigirl. He weaves through street lamp after stop sign, fire hydrant after pot hole, jogger after pet owner and pet, but running though the active roads fares to be a formidable obstacle. As XLR8 finally makes it to the girl, however, she leaps into the air at humanly reachable heights, and backflip-kicks XLR8 in the face. XLR8 isn't truly thrown off track, but his speed is deterred and he begins to trip a bit. As Omnigirl continues to make her distance, XLR8's unsteady walking turns into tumbling into the middle of traffic. He just narrowly misses a truck as it comes to a rather impossible stop. Chelsey makes herself visible as XLR8 regains composure, her arm outwardly held facing the truck.
XLR8 gets onto his feet and in the blink of an eye collects Chelsey onto his back.
He points his head to the tallest skyscraper in all of Bellwood, just up the road, which Omingirl is climbing by hand.
From a distance, we see Omnigirl launching herself up the side of Billions Tower. At the previous glance, she was 50% of the building. On this one, she's at least 90% up.
He begins dashing for the tower, reaching it in seconds.
XLR8 dashes up the steps in front of Billions Tower. When he reaches level land, he almost instantaneously adjusts. He then rushes for he outer wall of the building, gripping it with his wheels and rolling up the 90-degree angle with ease.
XLR8 rushes up the building, weaving through open windows and window wiping platforms. In less than fifteen seconds, he makes his way up the tallest site in town, where Omnigirl is seen. Upon the two's arrival, she becomes a female Vaxasaurian before their eyes. She knocks Chelsey off of XLR8 powerfully enough for her to incur physical damage as she falls off XLR8 and the building. The Vaxsaurian stands there, grinning an waves as XLR8 simply scowls. He turns away from her, and when he cocks his head to see her while doing so, she's already found missing. He ignores it and rushes down the side of the building Chelsey was thrown down, zigzagging through all obstructions. He runs faster than she's able to fall, reaching her location and leaping off the building before getting even halfway down the tower. Catching her, he begins to fall feet-first onto an adjacent building's rooftop. He leaps off it to get onto the ground, where he meets with three parked Plumber Humvees. The leader behind each of the cars exits the central-most Humvee and reveals himself, a tall human completely covered—even over the head—with an advanced white Plumber suit.
XLR8 hands Chelsey to Monty K.
Monty K turns around opens the Humvee trunks. He lays her there, and the trunk rotates itself out while extending the rest of the car accordingly. In the meantime, XLR8 looks to the roof of the tower from the ground. We can hear one of the Plumbers in Monty's squad receiving a call, some of the other Plumbers listening to the same call on the car radio.
XLR8 overhears one and slowly approaches it to get a better understanding.
The Plumber driving turns raound, revealing a plain red humanoid to be in the suit.'
XLR8's eyes pop. He slides his visor on as he moves to Monty, who's just heading for the driver door of his Humvee.
XLR8 dashes off.
Monty sighs and puts a finger to his ear to speak to an off-site Plumber. A hologram appears before him of Max's upper body.
[We transition to the Kings Mint where Omnigirl was report as having infiltrated. Inside, over a dozen men lay knocked out on the ground, but the source of it is nowhere to be found. Ben in human form is seen strolling around.]
He points to his Omnitrix with a red hourglass.
We shift to a beam near the ceiling the Mint. Omnigirl is crouched on top for only a moment, but soon sighs and drops to the ground fist-first into Ben's skull. By the time Ben even notices this, she's right above him. It's too late. We close on a view of Omnigirl, looking up from the hole she bashed Ben into.
Part IV[]
[We reopen with Omnigirl standing up and leaping out of the hole. She puffs as she spots a wide, flat piece of multi-colored paper in the hole, an Omnitrix emerging on top. The paper reassembles itself, growing to become a flat paper version of Ben. As it pops out to become a 3-dimensional cutout of him, the Omnitrix positions itself on his chest. His body changes color, becoming entirely white where other colors were.]
As his body is all white, it begins to change shape to reveal an alien form constructed solely of paper with a chest-mounted Omnitrix symbol. He's scrawny with a triangular head, big rectangular white eyes, and non-visible mouth.
She turns around and proceeds to one of the still-active machines in the building to collect some money. Cardstruct leaps out of his hole and goes after Omnigirl.
A flame is expelled out of a hole that opens on her wrist supposedly where her Omnitrix is hidden under the armor. Cardstruct quickly jumps out of the way, mid-air firing several copies of his fingers at his opponent. They're all engulfed in and turned to ash by the moving flamethrower. She attempts to increase the intensity of the fire as well so as to scorch Cardstruct but fails due to his landing behind another of the functioning machines, where he momentarily takes refuge. In the meantime, Omnigirl lowers her weapon and continues to grab as much money as the pockets that appear almost out of nowhere on her armor can hold.
For a few minutes, Omnigirl goes on with her money collection, the only sound in the room aside from the machines themselves being Omnigirl, shuffling through their products. A distraction arises, however, in the form of Alien X who becomes visible on the opposite side of the coin production conveyor belt the girl is looting from. She is temporarily stunned by the sight as Alien X speaks.
Alien X's previously stunned adversary claps in response.
She raises her hands and looks to the ceiling as she prepares for her punishment. She eventually lowers her head, arms still extended.
Alien X squints at the wise Omnigirl, then lunges at her, though she just moves out of the way leaving Alien X to slam his jaw into the ground. As he turns his head to face Dawn from the floor, you can see his sizable chin jammed like paper.
Cardstruct launches a huge wad of paper which Omnigirl manages to perfectly circumvent as she backflips away from the attack. Cardstruct continues to fire after her landing as she weaves left and right, ducking and jumping after each successive attack. Eventually, Cardstruct comes across a bad shot that throws him off-balance after firing. The shot itself manages to jam a few gears on the machine Omnigirl had been stealing from, disabling it.
With the snap of her fingers, Omnigirl sends Cardstruct wildly, frantically searching the room from his spot, but finds nothing. When he looks back to her, she's gone.
Cardstruct prepares to leave the Mint, but upon checking behind him, he finds Omnigirl staring him down. As he backs up to try and escape, he bangs into another armor-clad menace—another Omnigirl. She grabs him from behind and holds him tightly.
As the other Omnigirl proceeds to the farthest-away of the three remaining operational minting machines, Cardstruct attempts to hurt there alone by bashing his head into the face of her helmet. It's fruitless, Omnigirl chuckling.
With that reminder, Cardstruct disconnects every piece of his body that Omnigirl's holding of his, leaving a running body of him with nothing on his arms beyond the elbows. He dashes into the shadows with Omnigirl simply shaking her head and proceeding to the adjacent minting machine. While turned away, her head is knocked face-first into the conveyor belt by a massive, dense ball of paper. Omnigirl turns around as soon as she recomposes herself finding the titanium alien-mimicking Cardstruct.
Omnigirl fires at Cardstruct, but as quickly as she does, he leaps out of the way and into the shadows where he camouflages to match the one-color floor. His tactile foe stays on her guard, albeit constantly facing only one direction.
Our paper-made hero suddenly appears behind Omnigirl and before she can truly react, she's knocked onto the conveyor belt by a titanium alien-resembling Cardstruct. As he prepares to rush after the duplicate, the original grabs him by the foot and launches him to a wall on the complete other side of the building. He disconnects into several hundred cards with which he pierces the wall. He reverts to the form natural of the transformation. He turns to see the cards that actually managed to lodge themselves in the wall.
As the real Omnigirl proceeds to collect money believing Cardstruct to be distracted, he appears before the other and immediately engages in a one-on-one hand-to-hand fight. One attempted blow to Cardstruct misses as he sways to the right, unfortunately leaving him vulnerable to an attack from Omnigirl's right. An uncalled-for blast of paper to her left from Cardstruct pushes her away. He grins as she looks back up to him, though loses the satisfaction as a flamethrower is drawn. Cardstruct quickly fires several cards, but she unleashes an intense flame at each one. Unfortunately, however, the speed at which she'd fired had an effect on that intensity, allowing several cards to get by on fire, however. Before she knows it, they're each lodged into separate openings ion her armor—or dropped on the floor if such an opening wasn't found. The few that did, however, impact her, leave this Omnigirl frozen, stunned. Her flamethrower ceases fire, but her arm is left outstretched. Before long, sparks flying from the areas hit by cards become brighter and brighter. Their presence soon includes spaces all along the armor, which gives way over time and simply falls forward.
After saying this, the true and original Omnigirl looks over and sees the disabled robot.
Omnigirl rushes over to Cardstruct, who begins to fire larger and larger balls until she's finally thrown off in her anger. One oversized ball of paper knocks her onto her back on the ground. As she tries to get up, Cardstruct appears overhead with a hand pointed at her.
She sits up in her attempt to fully regain stature only to be met with Cardstruct tapping his Omnitrix symbol to truly transform—into Plasmodic.
The lasers become as bright as they can be.
Plasmodic begins firing, but a huge flash ensues with his Omnitrix symbol as the source. We look to Omnigirl's helmet face, which merely receives a scratch on the front of her helmet, as she watches Plasmodic become human, with a timed-out Assault Omnitrix.
She shoves Ben out of the way as she gets up and directs her flamethrower at Ben.
Omnigirl lowers her hand and proceeds to her robot. Ben attempts to punch her to throw her off, but all it does is leave a rip on the bandages of the hand he used. The girl laughs as she continues walking away.
The woman in armor comes to a full stop.
Omnigirl instantaneously arrives before Ben to shove him way with her finger to his chest, poling and pushing him back as she speaks.
While his eyes initially gape, Ben quickly tones his reaction back to a questioning brow raising.
Ben is interrupted by a powerful whole-handed shove down onto the floor.
*He* continues to walk over to his robot, during which span he concludes his monologue.
He quickly collects the cash taken by the robot from its pockets, then stands up and turns to the front entrance.
We rewind to a time just before the fruition of the Thep Khufan Commander's plan. We track her face as she twirls through the air, perfectly landing at the very bottom of the Commander's altar in his throne room from her previous place down the aisle. We then pan to a close-up of Dawn, a man hired for the retrieval of a rare crystal, just as then-Commander Tersce Tenebrosi speaks.
We retake our place in the present.
Ben audibly gasps.
Dawn ignores Ben at this point and proceeds to the front door.
He begins running to a ladder in the room and heading up, Ben getting up to follow.
As Dawn rushes up the ladder, Ben crawls up behind. Making it to the top first, Dawn waves to Ben down below as he pushes the ladder away. We watch from Ben's perspective as he plummets to the ground. Just before he does, however, we transition to a third-person view of Dawn, who makes a run for it on the platform above to a ladder in the center of the room, half-distracted by the loud clang of the ladder's -- and subsequently, Ben's -- crash to the ground. As Dawn looks back to where the commotion occurs, we—including Dawn—notice Ben using objects on the wall to parkour back up to the platform. After Dawn successfully makes it to the ladder, it's a quick ride up it with Ben running behind him. Upon arrival on the roof, Plumbers all around begin firing, but not before shooting out the glass roofs that falls to prevent Ben reaching the ladder does Dawn take on the assembled law enforcement. On all ends, the Plumbers are firing, but Dawn heads for just one, taking out only one Plumber in his way, before leaping off the building to the next without the bullets that fire barely impacting him. He begins to run on all fours as he goes rooftop after rooftop, until he mysteriously, magically, disappears. As Ben makes it up onto the roof of the Mint, a message goes out to all of the nearby Plumbers from the pilot of a high-up overhead ship with its lights previously fixated on Dawn.
As the Plumbers on the roof give up hope, we pan to the roof of the very Plumber ship from which the Plumber pilot broadcasting the message is stationed. On top lay a familiar male Thep Khufan, draped in a black cloak and armed with a custom alien pistol.
[We transition to a close-up view of a hairy fist being slammed onto a table. We pan out to find it's that of a female Loboan, who flashes red and reverts to a human covered in a plain black hoodie -- with its hood masking its owner -- jeans, and sneakers. On a moment's notice, black armor conceals this uniform, revealing this unidentified male to be Dawn.]
The voice's owner reveals himself. Stepping into the shot beside Dawn is Darkstar.
Angered, Darkstar puffs and exits the room via an automatic door. Dawn is left staring ahead at three pods, only the rightmost two of which contain robot versions of him while the left is empty.
