At Mr. Smoothy, the gang sat at a table under the shade. "I'm not kidding, Ben. I'm really mad at you." Gwen reminds him. "But you won't stay mad at me. I'm adorable." Ben says with a smug look, and Gwen glares at him. "You're completely full of yourself!" Gwen points out. "Which is forgivable because I'm so adorable." Ben says. "No, it's not." Aria tells him. "Don't tell me you're mad too?" Ben asks her. "Of course I am. You were late for a mission. The three of us could've died!" Aria tells him. "And I don't think you're adorable. I think you're obnoxious." Kevin says and everyone looks at him. "Obnoxious. That's what Gwen used to call me all the time. Am I using it right?" Kevin asks. "Couldn't have said it better myself." Gwen says and smiles at her cousin. "You've been obnoxious ever since you--" "Save the whole entire universe?" Ben asks. "See? You're doing it again." Kevin says. "Obnoxious." Gwen says. "You realize that without us you wouldn't have been able to do that, right?" Aria asks. "What are you talking about? Of course, I could've." Ben tells her. "Whatever." Aria rolls her eyes and walks away. "Lighten up! Have a smoothie on me." Ben tells his friends.
"Okay. Here's a smoothie on you." Gwen tells her cousin, taking off the cap on her cup and pouring the smoothie on his head. Ben looks back at Gwen who laughs along with Kevin and Aria returns. "I hope you like pineapple!" Ben climbs the table and takes the cap off his smoothie. "Come on, Ben. This is a new shirt." Gwen tells him, backing away. The Omnitrix starts beeping so Ben stops. "What it's the Plumber's ComLine." He says checking his watch. "That's gotta be, Grandpa Max." He notes. "Bad news, Ben. Vilgax is back." Grandpa Max tells him. "You're kidding me. Last time I threw him into space." Ben points out. "I'm sure he remembers. Vilgax has issued a conquerer's challenge to you." Grandpa Max informs. "Ben can't accept that." Kevin chimes in. "Sure I can. What is it?" Ben asks his grandpa. "The Galvan set it up to limit the destruction caused by planetary wars. Rather than risk mass destruction, both planets can choose a single warrior to represent them. The winner becomes the ruler of both worlds." Grandpa Max explains. "And Vilgax is challenging me?" Ben asks. "Cool. When and where do I kick his butt?" Ben inquires.

That night, the gang sat in Kevin's car, watching the footage of what happened with Vilgax and the Plumbers. "Ooh, that's going to leave a mark." Ben says when he sees his grandpa shoot Vilgax. "You'd think." Kevin shares, seeing Vilgax unscathed. "He's more powerful than ever, and we barely used to beat him in the old days." Gwen tells her cousin. "We were 10 years old." Ben reminds her. "You see how easy he took down Max and his new Plumbers." Kevin points out. "Those are the rookies. We're the A team. We defeated the Highbreed and--" "Save the whole entire universe." Gwen, Aria, and Kevin say in unison. "We know." Gwen says. "I think you're still gonna need an edge." Kevin tells him, and the garage opens to reveal a machine. "What is that?" Aria asks. "It's for hacking Ben's Omnitrix." Kevin replies.
Ben has his watch under a device, and Kevin is typing something on the control panel. "I don't think this is such a good idea." Gwen says. "I don't think Azmuth's gonna like this." Aria chimes in. "Relax, I've been uh... acquiring stuff I need to fix the Omnitrix for months, and the little guy's not gonna know if we don't tell him." Kevin replies. "Years if you count back to when you were trying to steal it from me." Ben tells him. "Let it go, Ben." Kevin advises. "It's too risky." Gwen tells them. "It's riskier not to." Ben claims. "I figured out a lot of how the Omnitrix works, but if he can bypass the safeguards and unlock the master control, I'll be able to do anything with it." He explains. "Ever wonder why they're called safeguards?" Aria asks. "If we get this working, I'll have full control of every transformation in the watch. Vilgax won't stand a chance." Ben informs her. "I'm in. Let me see if I can access the user interface." Kevin says. A beam shoots down onto the watch, and claws keep Ben's hand in place. The watch reverts back to its original form, and Ben turns to look at Kevin. "Oh, sorry." Kevin apologizes.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Gwen asks. "As much as ever." Kevin replies, putting up the ok sign with his fingers. The Omnitrix goes back to its new form. "See, nothing to worry about--" Kevin's cut off by the watch's beeping. A hologram of Azmuth appears, looking disappointed. "Azmuth?" Ben questions. "Yes. Azmuth, creator of the Omnitrix." Azmuth replies. "And I don't think I ever thanked you for that. Really nice of you." Ben tells him. "This is no time for jests Ben Tennyson. My disappointment with you is aggraved." Azmuth tells him. "Yeah, the line starts over here." Kevin says, waving to Azmuth. "Once I believed you possessed the maturity to wield the most powerful weapon in the universe." Azmuth says. "And then you paid the slightest bit of attention." Gwen says, not amused with what's going on. "It's only very recently that Ben has strayed from the hero's path." Azmuth tells her. "But I saved--" "I know what you have achieved. That is the only reason that I allowed you to keep the Omnitrix. My hope is that you'll grow into the role, but the full power cannot be entrusted to you. Do not tamper with the Omnitrix, Ben Tennyson. You are not ready." Azmuth says before disappearing. "Told you." Aria comments. "Seriously. You really dodged a bullet that time Ben." Gwen tells her cousin.
"Are you kidding me? This is obviously a test." Ben claims and Aria facepalms. "A test?" Kevin asks. "Sure. Azmuth wants me to take the situation into my own hands. If I want the power I have to earn it." Ben says. "That is so not what he meant!" Gwen tells him. "Wanna help me?" Ben asks Kevin. "No." Kevin declines. "Scared of the little guy?" Ben taunts. "Yes." Kevin agrees. "I'm pretty sure, I know how to do this myself, anyway." Ben says activating the beam again. "Ben, that doesn't look right. Turn it off." Gwen tells him. "Never mind that. It's overloading. Dunk the watch." Kevin points out. "It'll take too long. Run for it!" Ben advises. Kevin instead runs to Ben and tries pulling his hand. "Maybe I can--" Kevin's cut off when a bright green light blinds everyone in the garage and explodes.
